Chapter 177: Marrying into the East Palace
On the fifteenth day of the first month, when the Heavenly Family invited the royal family to a banquet, Zheng Peilan mentioned that Zheng Peizhi was given to Li Changlong as a side concubine, and served the prince with himself.
The emperor and queen agreed, and Zheng Peizhi lowered her eyes shyly to thank her.
In ancient times, Empress E's daughter Ying, everyone congratulated Li Changlong on enjoying the blessings of all the people, and this banquet was even more lively because of such a happy event.
However, there are two people whose faces are obviously not good, one is the Marquis of Xuanyuan, this matter is the two sisters who are in charge of the matter, he doesn't know the inside story at all, but he mentioned it in this public place, and the emperor also gave marriage to him, so he naturally didn't dare to refute anything.
It's just that his face is gloomy and uncertain, not only because he is annoyed by being deceived by two women, but also because a daughter has married the prince, but the relationship between him and the prince is not more intimate, but because of some interest frictions, there are a lot of unpleasant things. Li Changlong is now hardened in his wings, and he is becoming more and more disobedient, completely forgetting how he became the prince.
Now that the relationship between the prince and Prime Minister Bai is getting closer and closer, the news that Li Changlong is also very fond of Bai Qianruo, and he sent another daughter to the East Palace, but it seems that he has climbed Prime Minister Bai and wants to eagerly win over Li Changlong, which is what his subordinates think.
With his own plan, he was ready to choose a young disciple in the clan and hand over Peizhi to him, if there was really a stalemate with Li Changlong in the future, he would have the ability to send another person to the throne.
Naturally, he wouldn't tell Zheng Peilan about this idea, but she has always been smart, and she was afraid that she would be able to guess some of her thoughts, so she wanted to marry her sister to the East Palace, so that she had no other way out except to put the treasure on Li Changlong.
The daughter who got married, and the water that was spilled, this is really good.
Until now, only after Pei Lan gives birth to a child, she can find a way to fight the power of Prime Minister Bai, so that she can smoothly ascend to the throne of the queen in the future.
Another person with a bad complexion is naturally the crown princess Bai Qianruo, since she used the balm sent by her mother, she has a faint fragrance all over her body, the prince often stays with her, don't say Zheng Peilan, even the twin sisters were left out in the cold.
It's just that this belly is really not angry, and there is no sign of pregnancy until now, so the doctor has adjusted his body, and he has taken a lot of medicine, but it has no effect.
I'm afraid that because she has been in the limelight too much recently, Zheng Peilan has a sense of vigilance, and she even brought her sister to the East Palace. Zheng Peizhi is a beauty, and her relationship with Her Royal Highness is very good, Her Royal Highness has a fresh sense of freshness to her, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not become His Royal Highness's exclusive favor in a short period of time, when the time comes, one of their sisters has an heir, the other has grace, and the sisters join forces, and they occupy the name of the concubine, so what can they do to fight with them?
Bai Qianruo was worried and confused about his future, and there was also a matter on his mind that came from several recent public cases that involved his father.
The people sent by His Majesty to investigate the fireworks crash passed the results back, and his father was also involved, and several of his father's protΓ©gΓ©s were involved. Although her father sent someone to spread the word, don't worry about this matter, but she still couldn't help but tell His Royal Highness about it, hoping that His Royal Highness could help her father, but she learned from the mouth of the prince that this matter was actually planned by Xuanyuan Hou and others, but he also promised that his father would not be implicated in this matter.
But has Xuanyuan Hou already started to attack them? Xuanyuan Hou has a deep foundation, will his father be their opponent?
Although this marriage is not happy for everyone, it cannot be changed after all.
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Zheng Peizhi was welcomed into the East Palace, on an equal footing with Zheng Peilan, second only to the crown princess. However, Zheng Peizhi, who has always been arrogant, will not be as forbearant as Zheng Peilan, and naturally will not put Bai Qianruo in her eyes, not to mention that since she entered the East Palace, she is the only one in the eyes of the prince.
"It's only been a few days since you came to this East Palace, and you've offended all the people you should offend. Zheng Peilan said lightly, "This place is not as good as home, your eldest lady's temper should be restrained." Since they are the same people around His Highness, they don't see anyone who looks up and looks down, and they always have to get by on their faces, so they can't embarrass His Highness. β
"Now in this East Palace, it is the world of you and my sisters, are you still afraid of those foxes?" Zheng Peizhi said disdainfully, "Forgive them and don't dare to chew their tongues in front of His Highness! β
"Well, now my belly is big, and it's inconvenient. Zheng Peilan said lightly, "I'm too lazy to care about you, let you toss, you remember, don't go too far, if it's too much, even if Your Highness and I want to protect you, you can't." β
"I understand, my sister can rest assured. Zheng Peizhi stared at Zheng Peilan's belly, thought about it and said, "But sister, your belly is almost eight months, right? I always feel that my belly is smaller than the eight months of others, and this is almost about to give birth, you have to be careful." β
"You little girl, you still know that you are worried about your sister. Zheng Peilan said with a smile.
"By the way, before I came to the East Palace, Master asked me to ask you how she was doing with the things she was looking for, and she also said that her patience was limited. Zheng Peizhi blinked her eyes and said, "But sister, what are you looking for for your master?"
"It's something you shouldn't ask, don't ask, you should know something, I will tell you if you don't ask. Zheng Peilan said, "I've been inconvenient lately, you just have to entangle His Royal Highness, don't want him to be fascinated by the crown princess again, if the crown princess is pregnant, our behavior will be very passive." And now when there is still a need for cooperation between my father and Prime Minister Bai, don't take the initiative to provoke the crown princess, now the relationship with Prime Minister Bai is stiff, and it is not a good thing for His Royal Highness. β
"Got it. Zheng Peizhi said, "My sister has heard about the disappearance of Su Tang'an, and it has been a few days, and there has been no news, and there are rumors that she eloped with Yuguo's Bailiqi, and I don't know if it's true or not." β
"It's okay if she really leaves Da Zhou, so as not to let me bother to deal with her, this girl is not so easy to deal with, and she has broken the trap I set several times, but I'm afraid that this matter may not be so simple. Isn't it very quiet in the capital recently, wasn't Jiang Huawei poisoned a few days ago?"
"Wouldn't it be better if she was always against His Royal Highness and was poisoned!" Zheng Peizhi said, "And I heard that the concubine wants the second prince to marry Jiang Huawei as the princess! I really don't know what the concubine thinks, this Jiang Huawei now has no father who has military power in hand, and now she has no power and no power, I don't know what the concubine wants her, has the concubine's mother and son given up struggling?"
"Once on this boat, there is categorically no time to get off the ship, we don't know what the concubine is trying to do for the time being, but we must not take it lightly, and we must not let down our guard until the last moment. Zheng Peilan said.
In the main palace of the crown princess, there was a muffled cry at this moment.
Yue'er, who was stained with tears on her face, cried: "I was just a little late when I asked her to say goodbye, she asked the palace people to slap me in front of so many people, and made me kneel for two hours, which makes me see people in the future, isn't this too much deception? Princess, you must uphold justice for me!"
Xing'er on the side gave birth to a face that was the same as Yue'er, and said sadly at the moment: "Since this Zheng Peizhi entered the East Palace, this East Palace is about to become her world, don't say that our sisters, that is, the crown princess, she relies on her background, her pregnant sister, and the favor of Her Royal Highness, and she doesn't put it in her eyes, if you don't beat her well, I'm afraid that I will ride on your head in the future, this East Palace, in the end, you are the master, what is her turn to point fingers!" β
"That's it!" Yue'er wiped her tears and said, "The so-called coming, our sister served His Royal Highness earlier than her, it stands to reason that she should still call us sister, that can bully people like this, you can't ignore it, princess!"
"Who wants to be my sister!"
A disdainful voice came, Xing'er and Yue'er were startled, and hurriedly looked back, only to see Zheng Peizhi entering with a cold face, holding a whip in her hand, and after entering the house, she couldn't help but wave the whip and beat Xing'er and Yue'er.
"Ahh
Bai Qianruo was also taken aback by Zheng Peizhi's situation, several maids hurriedly protected her behind her, she was so shocked that she hurriedly shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you pull Concubine Zhi away!"
A few guards were about to enter, Zheng Peizhi's whip slammed on the ground, and said coldly: "I'm teaching people, who will come over!"
The guards were afraid of her identity and hesitated to step forward.
Bai Qianruo was shocked when he saw that his words didn't work, and he exclaimed: "Don't you pull the side concubine away and watch her beat the two good ladies to death?
Only then did the guards step forward and protect Xing'er and Yue'er, but at this moment, the two of them were covered with a lot of scars, and Zheng Peizhi was ruthless, and the wounds were deep and shallow and oozing blood, which looked very scary. The two of them shrunk together and wept quietly.
Zheng Peizhi was relieved and said lightly: "These two little hooves are open-mouthed, trying to provoke the relationship between me and the crown princess, if I don't teach a lesson, I don't know how many rights and wrongs will be born from their mouths in the future, I never thought that I would scare the crown princess, I'm really sorry." β
Where is the slightest sense of apology in this look?
Bai Qianruo sat down with the help of the maidservant, and her frightened expression had not yet stabilized, and said: "You are too ruthless, they are women, they are full of scars, how will they serve Your Highness in the future?"
"If I don't do it hard, I'm afraid they won't know the lesson. Zheng Peizhi glanced at the inside of the room lightly, "Whoever dares to play right and wrong in the future, this is the end!"
"Even if you want to teach them a lesson, you shouldn't be murderous here with the crown princess, have you ever put the crown princess in your eyes?" the maid on the side said, "Besides, the crown princess is the mistress of this East Palace, and only she has the power to punish the concubine if she makes mistakes, will Concubine Zhi overstep her bounds?"
"What kind of thing are you, you have a place to speak here?" Zheng Peizhi said coldly, "Someone came, cut her tongue." β
"Bold!" Bai Qianruo shouted, "She is my person, she wants to kill or punish, I have the final say, and it is not your turn to call the shots!"
