On the new day of March in the second year of Yuanhe, the sky suddenly became clear, and it seemed that it had just entered the day of the spring season, and the cold winter was so far away without a trace, and suddenly there was the brightness and warmth of the red and willow green.

But almost no one felt that such a wind and sunshine came in a hurry, and almost no one expected that with the spring of March will be followed by a long-hidden political storm, only a very small number of people involved in it, looking back afterwards, only faintly traced to this day, the first day of the first month of March, in fact, for the fate of many people, has laid the foreshadowing of a turning point.

In the early morning of this day, for Qin Ziruo, her initial mood was in harmony with the sunny weather.

A few days ago, Mrs. Qin, who was the in-law of the Weiguo Mansion, went to add makeup to the sister-in-law of the concubine Wuniang, and couldn't wait to come to the Xianwang Mansion on the other side, without Princess Chu, this time Mrs. Qin was warmly welcomed by the old princess, but Mrs. Qin's anxious and dissatisfied mood was not alleviated, and her perfunctory entertainment, even the old princess, who had always been dull, felt it, but she didn't notice it, and pulled Mrs. Qin to say something for nearly two hours, and finally thanked Qin for the matter of holding the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family accountable." did their best to help", and then gave Mrs. Qin and Ziruo the opportunity to be alone.

"Duchess Guo's words are the same as your guess, Concubine Su's return home is not so simple, otherwise why would the King of Chu be entangled every day and stay at the princess's mother's house for a long time? But Ziruo, this is exactly what I'm worried about, even if your words have played a role in Concubine Su, she has the idea of reconciliation, but the King of Chu is still obsessed, his mind is still on Concubine Su, how can he seriously accept you? Hello, a well-known lady and a daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, for the sake of the King of Chu, who made a bad name and had a family that was difficult to return, he was a maid in the palace in a reluctant voice, and the King of Chu let the princess humiliate you a lot, how could he be your lover? ”

The more Mrs. Qin spoke, the more angry she became, so that her eyes were full of tears.

Things have come to this point, even though she complains that the men of the Qin family are unscrupulous and ruthless, but the most resentful person is always Concubine Su, and even became angry with Yu Feng, secretly hating him for living up to his daughter's infatuation, and the slightest introspection is all Qin Ziruo is embarrassed by himself, people don't owe you anything, why should they be sympathetic to your mood and situation.

After Qin Ziruo confirmed that Yu Feng was really staying at the Su family every day to "entangle", he completely breathed a long sigh.

She comforted her mother: "Even if Concubine Su was unwilling, but she was so disturbed that I knelt for most of the day, and the matter broke out, and I naturally returned to the old princess, Concubine Su had a thought, but she pushed herself into a desperate situation, the old princess knew that she might be blamed for the prince, if she was still not ashamed, the old princess was bound to be dissatisfied with her." ”

Qin Ziruo was really proud: "I didn't kneel in vain, I finally achieved my goal, Concubine Su entered the palace the next day, she should have a glimmer of hope, and wanted to beg the Empress Dowager for protection, she also thought of herself too much, even if the Empress Dowager cherished her a little, but the matter was holy, how could the Empress Dowager favor her as an outsider?" It must be that the Empress Dowager did not say it, and Concubine Su had no choice but to return home for a while. ”

As for Yu Feng, of course, he was unwilling to reconcile with the Su family.

"However, this matter will not settle down here, the prince is unwilling to be less important, as long as the queen mother promised Concubine Su and the invitation to leave, the matter will be a foregone conclusion, once the world knows that Concubine Su is asking for and leaving, it is bound to believe that she is really innocent, gossip is everywhere, Concubine Su will not turn over the day, the prince will be sad for a while, but when the old princess comes forward and persuades him to marry another, the prince will not be completely loyal and filial."

The more Qin Ziruo said, the more confident he became: "The days in the future are still long, and I always have the opportunity to truly replace them." ”

Sha Tingke, who can write "Cangsheng Fu", has ambitions in his heart to the people's livelihood in the world, which is something that Qin Ziruo was very sure of when he was still a young girl.

In those years, she has been silently paying attention to this unique clan noble, and she has also heard her brother and the good Langjun of the family often mention the prince of Chu, and she has already sketched a young man of Yushu Zhilan in her mind, she believes that the person who is so clear and free and easy in pen and ink must be an extraordinary demeanor, and such an honorable identity is the only lover worthy of her heart.

Later, I saw that it was just like her soul dream.

What is hateful is that God is ruthless, so that they miss out on age, she is only cardamom, but he has reached the time to talk about marriage.

In the early years, due to the influence of her grandmother and sister, she really looked down on those noble daughters, especially the Su sisters.

If Dongming was still there, her grandmother would be the eldest princess of great dignity, and all the grace enjoyed by the Su sisters should have belonged to the daughters of the Qin family.

But as she gets older and her "knowledge" gradually broadens, Qin Ziruo realizes that it is really useless to dwell on these accomplish facts, she sneers at most of the daughters of the Su family, only Su Yijing is a thorn in the eye, without him, Qin Ziruo has always thought that Su Wu is "a waste of fame", even if there is a biological mother from a family, it is a pity that she died early, where does the eldest princess who can only ride and shoot have the ability to teach Su Wusi to be proficient in art, Su Wu is not worthy of marrying the prince of Feng as a concubine.

But jealousy and hatred can't change anything, the biggest difference between Qin Ziruo and the queen is that she will never waste her energy on meaningless personnel, nor will she float the resentment in her heart on the surface, she is good at conspiracy and forbearance.

Knowing that the prince and his wife were in love and harmony, those many days and nights, Qin Ziruo didn't know how to endure it, even if he was unwilling, but more of an increasing lust, that person, Yu Feng, the prince of the king of Chu, really met all her settings for the people who crossed together.

She also knows that the only chance of winning is that her brother-in-law can win the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, and only the support of absolute power can help her get her wish.

It's like how the king of Xianchu was obsessed with Concubine Xie at the beginning, didn't he resist Jun Ling's mother's order and marry someone else?

At that time, she even secretly laughed at the Weiguo Mansion, if she married her eldest daughter to the fourth prince, instead of the second prince who had no support and no holy family, then she would really be disillusioned and hopeless.

The move of the Patriotic Mansion is to show loyalty, but everyone knows that this world is changeable, once the son of heaven and a courtier, showing loyalty and sincerity can not protect himself, unless the power is dissipated, and the neck is killed at any time, the superior will really feel at ease.

Just like the current situation, how could the Son of Heaven believe that they were loyal ministers because of what the Patriotic Mansion did that day?

In short, all of this is developing according to Qin Ziruo's original plan, even easier than she planned, on the day of the death of the first emperor, the Su family was actually taken captive, even if he returned safely, but the Son of Heaven was deeply afraid of the Weiguo Mansion, and he was bound to not allow Su and Chu to maintain a good marriage.

The lover she likes is ambitious, and has both ability and political integrity, even if she values love and righteousness, she should not be a person who cares about her family and country only for the love of her children.

In the end, it will still compromise with the word loyalty and filial piety.

The world will also understand that etiquette is the top, the monarchy is important, and the yardstick for measuring character is not limited to affection, and in the face of loyalty and filial piety, affection and righteousness can only be subordinated.

Qin Ziruo thinks that until now, Yu Feng still does not abandon the Su family, which is really too different, and his affection is very serious.

And in this matter, she has always been silently watching and willing to pay - but for admiration, ignoring her reputation, and never harming or disrespecting Concubine Su, how many women in the world can be like her? is also different and unique, even if Yu Feng may feel sorry for Concubine Su for a while, but it is precisely because he values love and righteousness that he should not be indifferent to his infatuation.

Just like King Xianchu, although he was not ruthless to the old princess, he never slackened, Concubine Xie was just a concubine throughout her life.

If Qin Zi is not as sincere as the old princess, she actually allows the Su family to be on her side, in her opinion, the Son of Heaven is bound to be the ultimate victor, and the Weiguo Mansion will fall apart sooner or later, and at that time, the Su family will definitely not be able to live.

The Empress Dowager has reached her sixties, how long can she live?

In this world, it is always in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

She still has a lot of time to erase the traces of the Su family in Yu Feng's heart, even if it can't be completely erased, it is not the key, because in the future, she can stand by his side, give birth to children for him, and stand side by side with him, and the person who will sleep together for half her life and die is her Qin Ziruo, no longer Su Yijing.

In this way, it is satisfied.

In fact, as early as the day after the "persuasion to leave", Qin Ziruo inquired from Zheng's mother and daughter that Concubine Su had returned home, and took away the maids who should be married, including Mama Yang, who was in charge of the affairs of Guan Suiyuan, also returned to the Weiguo Mansion, she was sure that Concubine Su had been successfully calculated by her, and whether she was willing or not, she always had a plan to reconcile and leave.

Presumably Concubine Su also understands that Yu Feng is a filial son, and the old princess will resolutely not let Yu Feng take responsibility for his wife and become a concubine, if she is brazen and ignores it, the old princess will be disgusted with her, and she will not be able to gain a foothold in the palace in the future, and even attract more criticism.

Since it is irretrievable, it is better to ask for and leave, and always occupy the praise of "understanding the righteousness", which is offset by the crime of innocence and negligence, and is rarely talked about.

Qin Ziruo was a little lucky-Su Wu was not so stupid, and there was still merit.

She didn't expect that the "communication" of Zheng's mother and daughter was very popular, although Yijing would return home for the time being, but at present, Mama Xie, who is in charge of the internal affairs of Guan Suiyuan, will go to the other door every morning to ask the princess to show her, only these things, Yijing has intentions to hide from each other, if Qin Zi is impossible to know.

It is only said that early this morning, when Qin Ziruo received the letter from the Li family from the Zheng family, he knew that his grandfather had taken the "final action", and at the same time instructed those imperial histories to re-enter the chapter, he also deliberately disputed with many students of the Hanlin Academy, so that the crime of the innocence of the princess of Chu evolved from a stealing discussion to an open argument, this girl's mood was very happy - the paper could not contain the fire, and I believe that the empress dowager would make a decision quickly, so she could only agree to Su and leave the invitation.

Unexpectedly, when the day came, Mrs. Qin came to the door again!

A sunny day bad news, when the head is chopped, Qin Zi is like a stone carving.

In the evening of this day, Yan'er, the eldest maid of Rongxi Hall, saw Qin Ziruo limping and weeping and returned to the next room-because of that kneeling, Miss Qin's knee was frostbitten, and her movements have not been so neat these days, but how can it be more serious today?

Yan'er was full of thoughts, but she was urged by Mama Zhu repeatedly, saying that the old princess had left Mrs. Qin for dinner, and asked her to go to the kitchen to order more dishes.

Yan'er finished the mission, and when she returned to the old princess to resume her life, she just heard a sentence-

"Really, thanks to Qin Xiang's best efforts this time, Madame can rest assured, I must keep this matter in mind, to put it mildly, Ziruo is also a famous concubine, and in the position of a side concubine, she is still somewhat wronged."

Yan'er almost tripped over.

Looking at Mrs. Qin again, there was no joy in her expression, and her eyebrows were full of sorrow.

When Yan'er went out, she hurriedly asked Mama Zhu about it-since Yu Dong's family lived separately, Mama Zhu knew that Yan'er was actually the princess's confidant, and many words would not be hidden.

"Why did you agree to let the Qin family be the side concubine, I'm afraid the princess doesn't know about this matter, and the old princess is afraid that it is ......" Yan'er was really worried that the princess was not on the premise, and the old princess was calculated by others again.

Zhu Mama is old-fashioned in the end, and smiled coldly: "The old princess has promised anything, don't worry, the Qin family is wishful thinking." ”
