Chapter 23: The Harem is Sinister
"It's impossible, the concubine heard that Princess Chen had just been divorced, and she hanged herself to find a short time. If it is really such a beautiful woman, how can Prince Chen bear to brush off such a beautiful intention? As he spoke, he looked at Su Yichen as if seeking verification, his eyes were shining, and he was extremely innocent and romantic.
"Nonsense, how can you believe the nonsense spread by those subordinates!" The Queen Mother restrained her smile and said solemnly, "It is inevitable that there will be a stumble between the young couple, if it is deliberately distorted by someone with a heart and takes the opportunity to make profits, then the mourning family will never be able to get around her!" ”
As if shocked by the Queen Mother's words, Concubine Jin pursed her mouth aggrievedly, put her little hand on her lower abdomen, and said hesitantly, "The concubine also cares about Prince Chen, and the Queen Mother reprimands and reprimands the concubine, if you frighten the child in the belly, what should you do, the concubine's father is such a grandson, and he has been thinking about teaching the little prince to shoot archery and ride a horse in person in the future." ”
Seeing that this woman carried out Ou Qingshan again to suppress herself, the Queen Mother held back her anger and comforted her.
After going around and around with the Queen Mother a few times, Concubine Jin Guifei looked at Baili Lan again, but found that this famous straw bag beauty was looking back at herself unabashedly, with a hidden smile in her eyes, full of mockery, as if she had seen through everything with understanding and disdain.
Squinting her eyes, Concubine Jin walked up to Baili Lan enthusiastically, her eyes deliberately fell on the bruise on Bai Lilan's neck, and she said in surprise, "Yo, Queen Mother, come and see, why is there such a terrifying thing on this delicate and tender neck of Concubine Chen, it seems, it really seems to be a trace left by hanging." It seems that the rumors are not groundless. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only did the Queen Mother's face change, but Su Yichen also couldn't save face. Because no matter how much he hates this woman, it is a secret within the royal family, and it is a matter of royal face. Now that Concubine Jin is talking about rumors in the market, it will naturally make Su Yichen unhappy.
The Queen Mother knew what kind of temperament Su Yichen was, for fear that he would say something and collide with Concubine Jin, so she wanted to say something first to cover up the matter. But before she could speak, an indifferent voice sounded, cold and without a trace of emotion.
"That's right, I killed myself, and the marks on my neck were indeed left by hanging. Does Concubine Jin still want to know why I can't die? If she dies, this princess will have to be replaced by someone else! Baili Lan stared at Concubine Jin, her expression seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, and her sharp gaze was like a knife, sharp and ruthless.
Today, Concubine Jin naturally didn't just want to come to see the excitement, the residual memory in Bai Lilan's mind told her that this extremely ambitious woman had always wanted to win over Su Yichen and expand her family power. And Princess Chen's position she has coveted for a long time, and wants her cousin to sit in this seat, but the Queen Mother has always insisted on the marriage contract with King Dingnan, and this matter can only be stopped. But now the situation is different, this stupid woman has found a short-sighted situation on her own, and she certainly will not waste such a good opportunity in vain. But what Concubine Jin didn't expect was that today's straw bag beauty has already been reborn, and she is not the Bai Lilan who is bullied.
Choked by Baili Lan, Concubine Jin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the Queen Mother with great grievances, and said with a cry in her voice, "Look, the Queen Mother, the concubine is just concerned about Princess Xiachen, and she was misunderstood like this, why, what everyone in the world can say, you can't mention it here to the concubine?" Isn't this bullying the concubine's father when he is not around, and there is no one to call the shots! ”
"Heh, Concubine Jin is really joking, you are a noble concubine, and you are in the harem, and your father General Weihu is already a monarch and a minister, how can you call the shots? I don't know the rules in the harem, I really don't know how to assist Empress Zhang in managing the six palaces on weekdays! It seemed that she was tired of this boring harem game, Baili Lan stood up with a look of pity, bowed to the Queen Mother, and said, "Lan'er is unwell, so she will retire for the time being, and when there is no 'leisure, miscellaneous, people, etc.' another day, I will come to visit the Queen Mother again." After speaking, regardless of everyone's stunned expressions, Baili Lan retreated from Kunning Palace with a proud expression, and her floating figure gradually disappeared into the moonlight.
"Ha, it's the opposite, it's really the opposite, an abandoned woman actually dares to teach this palace a lesson! Did she think she was still the daughter of King Dingnan, but it was just ......"
"Enough!"
Concubine Jin's shrewd-like behavior annoyed the Queen Mother, and the harsh words of Baili Lan just now were also what the Queen Mother wanted to teach Concubine Jin a lesson, but because of her father Yu Wei, she has been forbearing. Today, this little girl is fearless, which really makes the Queen Mother feel ashamed, and she is deeply ashamed of the ancestors of Beining for not disciplining this woman who does not know the height of the sky.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's face changed, Concubine Jin didn't dare to make a mistake, she squinted at Su Yichen, and there was no expression when she met, so she was a little relieved in her heart, and secretly thought that Su Yichen would not spare that woman when she went back.
"Okay, you all go back, the mourning family is tired." Waving her hand weakly, the Queen Mother looked tired, but before the two retreated, the Queen Mother looked at Su Yichen and warned, "The mourning family doesn't want to make the royal family a laughing stock because of your absurdity. If you let the mourning family hear anything that shouldn't be heard, then the mourning family has to discuss with the emperor whether you really have the ability to take on the heavy responsibility of the country! Also, since Lan'er is fine, you have to take good care of her. When the current matter is over, Concubine Jin will let your uncle's family prepare. ”
Twisting the handkerchief in her hand hard, Concubine Jin raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then dare to ask the Queen Mother, in what capacity does the cousin of the concubine want to marry into the palace?" ”
"Let's take it, the gift of the side concubine."
What, it's just a side concubine! That's not going to work!
Concubine Jin raised her eyebrows, and just wanted to say something, but when she swept to Su Yichen, who was also depressed next to her, she had to suppress the anger in her heart and wait for the opportunity.
***
Since returning from the palace, Shu Yichen has not shown up for a long time, and the concubines in the palace have become much more honest, and the entire palace seems to have returned to peace.
But Bai Lilan knew that all the peace was only temporary, and that Concubine Jin would not let her position as a princess sit firmly. Although she has the blessing of the Queen Mother, in the face of interests, there is no once and for all, so taking advantage of the current moment of calm, Baili Lan is ready to leave the palace.
As for the letter of resignation, hum, jokes, it's just those old antiques and broken things, and she Baili Lan doesn't have the time to play with them!
Now that you are ready to leave, it is a question of how to survive independently in this world. Baili Lan naturally does not worry about survival. As a top killer, while killing your prey, you must also ensure that you can survive in the wild, no matter what the environment. But Baili Lan will never wronged herself in the quality of life, her life in the 21st world can be described as luxury, even if she lives in this wild world now, Bai Li Lan has to use the best things.
Looking at the phoenix hairpin in his hand, Chunfeng hesitated, and finally asked cautiously, "County Lord, do you really want to sell this hairpin, this is your favorite." ”
Looking at the golden thing in Chunfeng's hand with disgust, Baili Lan waved her hand and said, "Such a vulgar thing, putting it here will only hinder my eyes, it is better to turn it into silver." Then he saw the white jade vase placed by the window, picked it up and put it in his hand, and said to himself, "I don't know how much this thing can be sold for." ”
"County Lord, are you short of money? The slave maid didn't hear that our Dingnan Mansion has been short of silver recently. Xia Yu quickly said his question, and then looked at Qiushuang suspiciously, and asked, "Sister Qiushuang, what news have you received?" ”
Qiu Shuang is smart and clever, and she has long seen that Baili Lanxin is not here, and judging from the current temperament of the county lord, it is only a matter of time before she leaves.
"I haven't heard anything from me either. However, don't worry about the spring breeze. Now that the county lord has made a plan, then let's just follow loyally, don't annoy the county lord with chatter. ”
Although there were still many questions in his heart, Chunfeng saw Baili Lan looking around, and he didn't pay attention to himself at all, so he could only pout, listen to Qiushuang's words, and stand aside obediently.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Baili Lan finally summed up all his assets. It's not that I don't know, Baili Lan is really a rich woman. Don't look at the middle of the family, but the dowry is still rich, and there are many of the world's masterpieces, each of which is worth a lot. After counting the numbers, Baili Lan ordered people to load all these large and small things onto the carriage, and then changed into simple clothes, ready to lead the four big girls out.
Their mighty movements had already reached Zhao Yu's ears. It's just that after the last lesson to Yueji, he was afraid of this princess whose temperament had changed dramatically, and he could hide far away if he didn't take a picture. But today's situation, if you don't ask, it will be difficult for the prince to come back, so Zhao Ji had to come to the door of the outer mansion with a tangled face.
As soon as she saw Zhao Ji, Bai Lilan smiled contemptuously, then clasped her arms with both hands, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Steward Zhao wants to ask me where I'm going?" ”
"Uh...... Be. ”
"But I'm afraid that Su Yichen won't be able to explain when he comes back?"
For some reason, a string of cold sweat flowed from Zhao Zhi's forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it, and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes." ”
With a light snort in her mouth, Bai Lilan played with her green silk hair, and said indifferently, "Then you tell him and let him remember what the cave room said on the night of the candle, and from then on, men and women will marry each other, and there will be no disputes." Even if Su Yichen can't be as diligent and loving the people as a prince, I hope he can be like a big man, and he can keep his word! ”
"This, this ......" Zhao Ji's knees were soft, and his eyes didn't dare to glance at Baili Lan at all, where was the majestic and calm style of Zhao Da Butler on weekdays.
Too lazy to talk nonsense, Bai Lilan took four flower-like maids away, and no one dared to ask more.
A delicate figure hid behind a clump of shadows, and the beautiful eyes that followed Baili Lan were full of hatred.
