Chapter 233

After the three kings were escorted back to the capital, although they still retained the titles of the three princes, they were all demoted to the kings of the county and were claustrophobic in the deep palace. It should be offered with good food and drink, as long as it is not excessive, as long as the three kings open their mouths to want, they will accept it today. It's just that it's definitely not free to go in and out, and people follow you wherever you go.

The ladies were separated from each other, and the three princesses and several girls were all imprisoned on the west side of the palace.

In the evening, after Empress Cao made sure that Her Majesty was staying in Jingyang Palace today, she took her personal grandmother to the west. It was an incident many years ago, and now if you think about it, it's been thirty years. At that time, she was still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with a bright smile, always like to wear brightly colored skirts, she always seemed to be happy, she was smiling and grinning when she talked to anyone, she was lively and cheerful, and she looked sweet and handsome, and it was the age of grace, so that people could not like it.

At that time, when Emperor Taizu was still dying, Empress Liu had gradually mastered the government at that time, but the four princes had not yet gone to the fiefdom, and the four concubines were still alive. At that time, the capital was very lively, she always liked to pretend to be a man to play around on the street, catch thieves, and visit Qinglou, she tried them all one by one, and felt very fresh.

Her name is Qin Fu'er, the daughter of a general who guarded the border pass back then, and when she was able to come to the capital, she also made an exception to follow her father to Beijing to report on her work. The girl who grew up in the frontier is different from the girl who was raised in the capital, she has both the heroic appearance of a boy and the shy side of a girl.

And she, Cao Fen, was the daughter of a deputy general under General Qin back then, but because Vice General Cao died on the battlefield, Mrs. Cao was martyred again, leaving her a young daughter alive in the world. General Qin felt that she was pitiful, so he took her in, and she was like Miss Qin when she was fed and dressed. That time General Qin entered Beijing, she was also fortunate to come with her, and witnessed Qin Fu'er's most beautiful time.

The four princes were the same age, and they were all sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and they reached the age of marrying concubines.

The little princes all like General Qin's pearl in the palm of his hand, and Emperor Taizu and General Qin have no choice but to adopt the method of "fighting in the ring". In fact, at that time, Qin Fu'er already had someone she liked in her heart, and that person was not someone else, it was His Majesty Zhao Gan today. Zhao Gan also regards it as a treasure, and he can't wait to hold it in the palm of his hand to pet it, Qin Fu'er has an upright temperament, and if he says yes, Zhao Gan should follow her.

At that time, she witnessed everything between them, first with envy, and finally with jealousy.

She has a docile and wooden temperament, even if she has any things on her mind, she quietly puts them in her heart and refuses to say them. Seeing the two of them like glue day by day, she also kept her promise and didn't say anything, she has always been Qin Fuer's little follower, and she is also a cover that Qin Fuer used to date Zhao Gan.

As long as Qin Fu'er takes her, no one will suspect that she is dating a man.

Back at home, Mrs. Qin, the general of Qin, asked, and she would also help to lie.

Over time, she became more and more depressed, and finally fell ill. She was ill for a few days, lingering on the bed, and naturally she never had the opportunity to go out to see Zhao Qian with Qin Fu'er. It was also at that time that she knew that her feelings for Zhao Qian had reached the point where she could not extricate herself, as long as she couldn't see her for a day, she seemed to be worse than dead.

Later, she figured it out, so she listened to the doctor's words and took medicine to take medicine and take care of her body.

It's also strange to say, when she was in good health, what she got was the news that Qin Fu'er and King Ming were married. Before she could figure out the situation, there was a change in the capital, because Emperor Taizu died suddenly, and Empress Liu assisted the then crown prince to ascend the throne, and then the four kings were banished to the fiefdom.

Later, she followed Zhao Gan to Yiwang Zhao Gan went to Yizhou, firstly, because she wanted to get closer to the person she liked, and secondly, because her ancestral home was in Yizhou. Her parents are dead, even if General Qin is kind, she can't really rely on the Qin family for the rest of her life.

Even if she later became a princess and a queen, even if Zhao Gan was amorous and amorous, and there were countless young and beautiful concubines in the house, she knew in her heart that in Zhao Gan's heart, I am afraid that the one who has always been deeply in love is still Qin Fu'er back then. She didn't understand the matter between Qin Fu'er and Zhao Gan, but she thought that there must be a reason for this.

While thinking about the future, she went to the palace where Qin Fu'er lived at the moment, to be honest, after all these years, she really missed Fu'er. Although she used to envy her, and even jealousy, but now that she has a good life and has become the mother of a country, is it her Cao Fen?

She wanted to see her, to see her in a haughty manner, she wanted her to know that she Cao Fen was no longer the timid and inferior girl she used to be.

Standing in front of Princess Mingjun's bedroom, Empress Cao was stunned for a while, and then turned her head and said, "Let's go." ”

Seeing that it was the queen's mother, the grandmother guarding the door hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye, and Queen Cao asked, "Princess Ming can rest?"

"Back to the queen's mother, Princess Ming is about to finish dinner, and this time she is talking to the girl. The old lady replied, "The queen wants to go in?"

"You guys just stay here, this palace and Princess Ming are old acquaintances, and this time, I am also talking to the princess. When she entered, Princess Ming was about to bathe, and was lying on the chaise longue, quite lazily letting the two little maidservants wipe her hair with dry towels.

A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old sat on the side, holding a scroll in her hand, reading with relish.

"It's cold now, and it's a big night, why did you wash your hair at this time?" Empress Cao saw that Princess Ming didn't see her, so she spoke first, and then saw that the two maids who were originally serving Princess Ming hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye, and she smiled a little deeper, and then continued to approach Princess Ming.

Hearing this, Qin Fu'er looked back, a trace of strangeness obviously flashed in her eyes, but she quickly pulled the girl to her knees.

Empress Cao's gaze lightly crossed the girl's face, and then her gaze fell on Princess Ming, and said with a smile: "Sister Qin, get up, between you and me, why kneel." After that, she found a superior seat and sat down, and then looked at Princess Ming quietly, and after Princess Ming stood up, she could see her face, and couldn't help but clench her hands tightly.

Come to think of it, she is now in her forties, but God seems to be very kind to her, and time has not left any traces on her face. Just like thirty years ago, bright and moving, dazzling, looking at this all-over temperament, it seems that the rebelliousness of that body has long faded, and at this moment, it looks a lot more docile.

"Sister Qin, you can sit down too. Empress Cao smiled softly, but after seeing Princess Ming sit down, she said again, "Don't blame me, I only came to see you now, mainly because the Queen Mother's birthday is imminent, and there are too many things to be busy in the palace." Although there are four concubines to help with it, after all, it is a big matter, and I have to pass them one by one, and now that I am about to be free, I will come to see Sister Qin. ”

Princess Ming lowered her head slightly, and said meekly: "Don't dare to be a sinner, don't say that, the queen mother." ”

Although she said deferential words, Queen Cao felt that she was very noble in her bones. She will always be like that, so beautiful that she is dazzling, as if she is covered with a layer of light wherever she goes, which makes people have to be jealous. Empress Cao was slightly stunned, thinking, I don't know if Your Majesty has seen her like this, if she has seen her, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks in her heart.

"There is no queen here today, Sister Qin, you don't have to be polite, let's talk. Empress Cao smiled lightly, and then looked at the girl standing behind Princess Ming, "This is ......"

Princess Ming said, "Scarlet, come over and say hello to the queen." ”

The girl was delicate and sensible, and hurriedly knelt down, and Queen Cao said: "Didn't Fang Cai already ask for peace? Empress Cao paused slightly, and then said, "Scarlet, this palace and your mother want to catch up on the old days, you should go down with your grandmother to rest first." ”

Zhao Fei quietly glanced at her mother, but when she saw her mother nodding, she went to rest first.

When there were only two people left in the room, Empress Cao asked, "Compared with thirty years ago, Sister Qin really hasn't changed at all, and she is still so bright and moving. Come to think of it, it is His Royal Highness King Ming who loves his sister very much. ”

Princess Ming said: "The queen mother is becoming more and more dignified and noble, and if you want to come to Your Majesty to treat the queen mother, she is also considerate." ”

Today's amorous affair is something that everyone in the world knows, and Queen Cao doesn't believe that Princess Ming will not know. But when she said this time, what she meant, she was clearly making fun of herself. What if you become a queen? It's just that she was lucky enough to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor, so she was made queen.

His Majesty's harem has three thousand beauties, and at the beginning of his accession to the throne, there were many concubines with positions.

Especially recently, it is even more frequent to be lucky to have those women in the harem who have not yet been positioned, and after they are lucky, they will be given a name. Empress Cao has seen His Majesty's history in the past month, and every day the fortunate women are different, some have given names, and some seem to have forgotten after being pampered.

Empress Cao thought, Your Majesty has been quite abnormal recently, I'm afraid all this is for Princess Ming, right? He was resentful in his heart, he didn't understand why the bright girl back then was obviously in love with him, why she turned around and wanted to marry King Ming. It's been thirty years, he's been confused for thirty years, and he's been romantic for thirty years, and it's all for her.

Empress Cao knew in her heart that Zhao Qian thirty years ago was not what he is now.

He saw Qin Fu'er's doting on her Cao Fen, and later she did everything possible to get close to him, he promised to marry her, and she was very happy. always thinks that he doesn't have himself in his heart, but as long as he is a single-minded man who knows how to love his wife, then this life is really worth it.

But when she married into King Yi's mansion, she realized that everything was different from what she thought, and Zhao Qian had changed.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Jiang sisters that Queen Cao understood in her heart that in this life, Zhao Gan's heart might not be anyone else. All the women he slept with, including her Cao Fen, were Qin Fu'er's stand-ins. Later, she thought about it carefully and felt that the reason why Zhao Qian was willing to marry her was because of Qin Fu'er.

The two girls who were once inseparable have very different personalities, but there will be some similarities in them.

In this way, she happily became a stand-in for others, but what Zhao Gan gave her was as indifferent as ever. She once tried to compete for favor, but then she thought about it, she was a princess, but she had to compete for favor with the Jiang Lian sisters, who were born as singers and dancers, wouldn't it be ridiculous to say it?

Gradually, she also looked down, so she slowly calmed down and only ate fasting and chanting Buddha. 166 Reading Network
