Section 207 Princess
The idea is good, but the implementation is not as smooth as imagined. Yang Tianhong, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, made thousands of calculations, and all things were considered based on interests, but the family affection between Emperor Shunming and Xiaohe was omitted. Feeling that he owed a lot to the dead former queen, Emperor Shunming was bent on making amends to his daughter. As a result, Xiaohe's request to get Fuzhou as a fief was categorically rejected by Emperor Shunming, and instead let other richer state capitals be chosen by Xiaohe as a fief.
In this regard, Xiaohe could only smile bitterly. Fortunately, Emperor Shunming was busy with government affairs, and the fief could only be put on hold for the time being. Xiaohe thought about it, and he must look for an opportunity to persuade his father again.
Outside the palace gate, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance. Xiao He frowned slightly, glanced in that direction, and saw many shadowy figures coming towards Lingxiu Palace.
In the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, it is difficult to get as quiet as the Kunizijian Library. During this time, people went to Lingxiu Palace almost every day under various different pretexts. There are a large number of royal relatives and relatives, and many of the seven aunts and eight aunts of all kinds Xiaohe have never even met before. Without exception, these people are in the name of "visitation". It's just that their minds are clear, and they are nothing more than looking at Emperor Shunming's face, and they want to get close to themselves so that they can benefit from it.
Speaking of which, the cause still originated from Yang Tianhong. If he hadn't taken the initiative to propose to Emperor Shunming in the main hall on New Year's Day, these people would definitely not have such thoughts. For a long time, Xiaohe gave people the impression of being a weak and helpless girl. Although she is a princess, it is difficult to truly enjoy the glory and wealth. But when you get married, the situation immediately becomes different. With her husband's family to rely on, maybe one day she will be able to fly up the branches and become a phoenix.
What's more, Yang Tianhong is not an ordinary person. Yi Yonghou is a super marquis of the imperial court, and General Pingnan is also a real power position. Not to mention, Da Chu has not increased the position of festival envoy for hundreds of years. Although Anzhou is remote. It is difficult to come and go, but Yang Tianhong is a powerful person who really controls the power of one party.
Before the people outside could enter, there was an extremely unbridled and arrogant laughter from afar.
"It's really cold in this Lingxiu Palace, and you can't even see a few people. It seems that the previous rumors in the palace are somewhat true, and if there are fewer people living in it, the house will become dilapidated. Even ghosts and the like can make trouble. ”
Dozens of palace maids and attendants walked in with a woman in a luxurious robe. If you look closely, it is two groups of people, one in front of the other. I don't know if it's a coincidence, or deliberately, the front just walked in, and the back was too close, and the cold and quiet Lingxiu Palace suddenly became crowded, and even the corners of the room were full of people.
Concubine Chen and Princess Xinxuan Xiaohe both know each other. To be precise, it should have been seen. But he seldom speaks.
Concubine Chen Shufei is a plump woman. She is probably the most special woman in the entire Chu State Palace. Everyone has become thin and beautiful, but Chen Shufei has raised herself to be white and fat. Of course, it would be unfair to say that she was fat. Concubine Chen actually has a slender waist and a beautiful appearance, but her breasts and buttocks are amazingly large. At this time, the spring cold had not yet passed, and the weather was still quite cold, so Concubine Chen Shufei changed into light clothes early. She smiled and walked over to Xiaohe. In order to show their closeness to each other, the whole body is pasted up. Xiaohe felt two elastic balls on his arms. The plump and flexible object is rubbing back and forth, which is very slippery and comfortable.
"Bengong has long wanted to come over to see Princess Wenyuan, but he hasn't been able to pull away. I happened to be free today, so I would bring some fresh fruits, so I could give Princess Wenyuan a taste. ”
said. A palace maid standing next to Concubine Chen put down the food box in her hand and opened the lid, and several kinds of fruits were neatly placed inside. It is large and plump, with smooth skin, and it does seem to be able to arouse the appetite. I just don't know why. Looking at the watery, red apples placed on the top, Xiaohe suddenly remembered the two fat and soft red cheeks on Chen Shufei's face, and couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth upwards and smile slightly.
She didn't get up to return the salute, but just sat on the chair and bowed slightly, and said, "Concubine Lao has bothered." ”
When Xiaohe's biological mother was in power, Emperor Shunming never had the idea of choosing a concubine. Whether it is Empress Zhang or the other concubines in the palace, they were only able to enter the palace after the death of Xiaohe's biological mother. Emperor Shunming in grief gave Xiaohe a very high status, even in the face of Empress Zhang herself, Xiaohe did not have to bow on his knees, but only met as an equal.
Being able to get these fruits in the cold winter season is also the credit of Concubine Chen's mother's family. Speaking of which, Chen Shufei's family is a big farmer, and she has a set of skills to reverse time to cultivate melons, fruits and vegetables. In another world, greenhouse greenhouses are not a novelty, but here, cultivating fresh vegetables in the cellar in winter is the secret of Chen Shufei's mother's family.
Concubine Chen Shufei sat down on the chair next to her, took Xiaohe's hand, and said with a soft smile: "It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, but if she really wants to get married, I really think about it in my heart." In the past, I thought that Her Royal Highness the princess was still young, but who knew that she would grow into a big girl when she looked at it. Speaking of which, the years are also unforgiving, and many things seem to happen yesterday. Her Royal Highness the princess will leave the capital in the future, if you need anything, send someone to tell me, and the palace will take care of it. ”
Judging from her age, Concubine Chen Shufei is actually not much older than Xiaohe, and the gap between before and after will not exceed ten years. It's just that each other's identities are there, and Concubine Chen Shu belongs to a good old man in the palace who will not offend anyone, and now she has come to Lingxiu Palace with the intention of making friends. With Xiaohe's wisdom, how can she not see through it? She smiled and nodded: "This is certain. If you need anything, you must first think of Concubine Shu's words today. It's just that this daughter is older, and the only thing to worry about is her father. If Your Majesty is in good health, I will have nothing to worry about. ”
If someone else said such a thing, Chen Shufei would inevitably spray her face in public. However, Xiaohe is different from ordinary people, she has been absent from the palace for a long time, and her rules and way of speaking are very unique. Although Chen Shufei was not used to it, she didn't say much, just sat next to her and laughed and gossip.
Princess Xinxuan hasn't spoken since she came in. Maybe he was waiting for Xiao He, the master of Lingxiu Palace, to speak first, but he didn't see Xiao He have the meaning to speak. Princess Xinxuan, who couldn't bear it, couldn't help but shout: "Don't even serve a cup of tea, is this your hospitality?"
Xiaohe glanced at her and said calmly: "I don't have any rules here, if you want to drink tea, you can pour it yourself." On weekdays, I'm too lazy to call the palace people. If you don't believe it. You can ask them. ”
As he spoke, Xiaohe turned his gaze to the palace maids standing next to him. Suddenly, several people were scared into cold sweat, and they hurriedly turned around to speed up, pouring tea for those who poured tea, and those who took dim sum took dim sum.
is also used to the princess Xiaohe. The laziness of the palace maids in Lingxiu Palace has become a habit. Xiaohe never cares about this, and she never says it clearly, and the palace maids are so happy. Who would have thought that when Concubine Chen Shufei and Princess Xinxuan came over today, Xiaohe suddenly used someone else's name to make trouble on this issue. In a panic, the palace maids and attendants only felt that a catastrophe was coming, and they were panicked.
Princess Xinxuan is the daughter of Empress Zhang and the half-sister of Xiaohe. She glanced at the palace people who were busy behind the curtain, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes: "There are really more and more rules in this Lingxiu Palace. Even a few of his subordinates couldn't move. What kind of dignity are you talking about? Hmph! If it were me, it would be better to hit my head and die. ”
Xiaohe didn't seem to hear Princess Xinxuan's words, and her face was all plain. Concubine Chen sat next to her but frowned. In any case, Princess Xinxuan's behavior of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai is too obvious. If you talk about it behind your back, forget it, now, it's no different from scolding in person.
Before Concubine Chen Shu could think of how to persuade her, Princess Xinxuan continued with the slightest hostility towards Xiaohe: "There will be a few more months. You're going to get married. This Lingxiu Palace is also small and exquisite, and it is empty. It's also a waste. Why don't you let me live there?"
Although they are sisters, Princess Xinxuan has never respected Xiaohe. Speaking of which, this is largely caused by Emperor Shunming himself. He cares about Xiaohe very much, far more than other princesses. But I don't know that this preference is equivalent to putting a small lotus on the fire. Become the target of other princesses.
Thanks to King Changle, Xiaohe has developed an indifferent temperament. She smiled and didn't argue with Princess Xinxuan on this issue: "If you want, just move in." ”
Chen Shufei remained silent next to her, and she didn't know how to interject. Forcing the other party's palace. This was originally a common means for concubines to compete for wind and jealousy in the harem. It's just that Princess Xinxuan used it on Xiaohe, and the other party lightly agreed, which inevitably made people feel that her fist hit the cotton, and she couldn't get up.
Princess Xinxuan felt a wave of anger rising in her heart.
She doesn't like Xiaohe's sister, and she never calls Xiaohe a sister. Regardless of the New Year's holiday, the best gifts given by Emperor Shunming are for Xiaohe. What you get is only second-class. This kind of differential treatment made Princess Xinxuan disgruntled for a long time. It's just that Empress Zhang always restricts Princess Xinxuan not to reveal her original thoughts in front of Emperor Shunming. In fact, it's right to think about it, anyone who sees Xiaohe's face feels scary, and the black birthmark is like a monster's mouth, and it wants to swallow the whole person alive. Such an ugly woman, even if she has a noble status, what can she do? Emperor Shunming will die sooner or later, as long as her mother becomes the queen mother, Xiaohe's future days can also be imagined. Either they were sent to the royal temple to eat fasting and pray for the dead Emperor Shunming, or they were casually assigned to lowly people to send them hastily. This kind of thing is definitely not a pipe dream, and it has happened many times in the history of other countries. is not her own daughter, of course, it is impossible for her to continue to enjoy the treatment of a princess. It's just that to clean up people, you have to make the other party feel the pain of the skin. Cutting off her head with a knife is too cheap for her, and the best way is to keep it at hand and torture it repeatedly, making her feel painful.
Princess Xinxuan understood this truth very early. Empress Zhang is very good at educating her daughters. She asked Princess Xinxuan to raise a cat, and asked the chamberlain to catch mice every day and put them in cages, so that Princess Xinxuan watched the cats gnaw on mice. The cage is large and the cat is very cunning. The beast never bit the rat off its neck, but let the rat run back and forth in fright, and then grabbed it back with one paw, and casually continued the game of life and death that could be controlled wantonly.
Princess Xinxuan once thought of countless vicious ways to deal with Xiaohe. Chopping hands, cutting off feet, gouging out eyes, cooking in a frying pan...... Of course, these measures could not be implemented until after the death of Emperor Shunming. It is better to choose a dirty and evil criminal from the prison and marry Xiao Hexu to him.
Who would have thought that such an ugly woman would be liked by men?
On the top of the main hall, the moment Yang Tianhong proposed to Emperor Shunming in person, Princess Xinxuan was stunned.
Princess Xinxuan has always felt that she is the pride of the sky. Her Royal Highness, the most noble princess of the Great Chu royal status. The list of big Chu Junjie in the circle of noblewomen, Princess Xinxuan also has a copy in her hand. She carefully compared and felt that Yang Tianhong was indeed the most suitable match for herself. Not to mention the handsome appearance, the Marquis of Yiyong is also superb. Women like men to be rude, especially when the generals in southern Xinjiang who have killed the Yue people must be doing that kind of thing. It will also look majestic and full of impact. It's just that Princess Xinxuan and Yang Tianhong have never intersected, and they also feel that this kind of thing is difficult to say to their mother or father. But who would have thought that Yang Tianhong would actually secretly Chen Cang with Xiaohe, and the two of them hooked up in the Guozi Prison, and they were so shameless, and proposed marriage in front of the public.
Every time I think about it. Princess Xinxuan felt that she was almost angry to death. It's as if the duck has already arrived.
There are many famous ladies who have a crush on Yang Tianhong. Princess Xinxuan alone knows five or six. During this time, Princess Xinxuan had really heard too many rumors about Yang Tianhong, and knew that this person was a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, and his cultivation was far from being comparable to that of ordinary people. The Yang family is mighty, and the Guangping Hou line is also trusted by the emperors of the Great Chu dynasties. Although the prince's brother has a gloomy personality, he has repeatedly backed down on Yang Tianhong's issue, of course, because he will ascend the throne in the future and need the full support of the Guangping Houfu.
Gao Tianwu gave the wrong gift. It also completely aroused Xu's anger. Under the secret promotion of the Xu family, now the entire capital knows that Yang Tianhong has a thousand-year-old ginseng in his hand. He's smart. Transferred the ginseng to Emperor Shunming. Princess Xinxuan has heard from her mother, Queen Zhang, more than once: Those who can get a thousand-year-old ginseng as a gift must have excellent ability and extraordinary knowledge. Although Yang Tianhong has little say in the court, but when he thinks about it carefully, the power he has far exceeds that of those so-called literati.
There were only a few Jiedu envoys of the Great Chu Dynasty, but which one was not in charge of a heavy army? The power was monstrous? Although Anzhou was remote. But who can say clearly what will happen in the future? If Yang Tianhong manages the project properly and opens up the road between Anzhou and Suizhou, the resources produced by Anzhou will immediately be used by Dachu, and the degree of moderation will make his job rise. What's more, Yang Tianhong had a previous turmoil with the Lu family. It has already spread throughout the Jingshi. Now, the Xuantian horses in Princess Jing'an's mansion are the best proof. In order to obtain a water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, Li Shengjie, the head of the household, was cut off by Yang Tianhong, which proved in disguise that this person was not short of gold and silver. Powerful! rich! handsome...... Nima, this kind of man can be called the super king of diamonds more than diamonds.
Good things are right in front of you, within reach. Princess Xinxuan also heard her mother, Empress Zhang, mention euphemistically to Emperor Shunming many times in private: For the sake of the royal authority in the future, should she marry her daughter to Yang Tianhong to show royal favor?
Princess Xinxuan can be sure that the "daughter" mentioned here has no second person except herself. After all, he is the pearl of his mother's palm. Although there are Emperor Shunming and several other daughters, no one has a noble queen mother like himself.
From the very beginning, Princess Xinxuan pointed the spearhead of the struggle at other princesses, and never thought about Princess Xiaohe, who was temporarily living in the Changle Palace.
The reason is simple, only a fool would take a fancy to the kind of ugly ghost with a black birthmark on his face.
That's how wonderful things are in the world. Yang Tianhong must have made a mistake in his brain, or he had a bad stomach by eating indiscriminately the night before, and he was talking nonsense in the court, saying that he only loves Princess Wenyuan in this life and this life, and begged His Majesty to marry and so on.
Of course, the man you like can't be a crazy person. Since Yang Tianhong has no problem, then the problem must be Xiaohe's demon woman. Yes, demon woman! She must have used some demon method to take away Yang Tianhong's heart. As the saying goes, the ghost is confused. If there are no ghosts in this world, how can a big man say such things in public?
After all, this is Da Chu, not another world. Compared with Yang Tianhong, an outlier, Princess Xinxuan's thinking is normal. In fact, Yang Tianhong's public proposal on the top of the main hall had already shocked everyone present at the time. He should have felt lucky, because several famous old scholars in the court did not attend the banquet, which saved him from further trouble.
Da Chu follows the rituals that have been handed down from ancient times. In fact, it is not surprising that Galileo was tied to the stake and burned alive. Because that's what the social environment was like that at the time. Sudden novelty will only make others treat you like a monster. Fortunately, Yang Tianhong has always won the trust of Emperor Shunming, and he himself has repeatedly made military exploits for Dachu. Otherwise, no matter what, Emperor Shunming would not let go of this guy who made a big statement about his daughter above the main hall. Even if you don't catch and behead the public on the spot, you have to be laid down in prison, and it will never be forgiven.
Princess Xinxuan felt that things were not going in the direction she expected at all. It's unheard of for an ugly girl to marry a good man. (To be continued.) )
