Chapter 258: Concubine Tang was demoted, and the concubines competed for favor
Jiang Shishi looked up and saw a group of honor guards in front of her.
The eunuchs carried the chariot, and the one sitting on the chariot was the prince in the ink-colored python robe.
After a short time, the step stopped in front of the East Palace, and the concubines saluted one after another, "Welcome His Highness back to the East Palace." ”
Pei Xuanling stepped on the eunuch's back and got off.
He first helped Concubine Ruan, and then he helped Concubine Su.
Thinking that the prince would also help her, Concubine Tang fell short, and the smile on the corner of her mouth stiffened slightly, so she heard the prince say loudly: "Let's get up." ”
After the concubines got up, it was a little strange that the prince did not help the Tang side concubine.
After all, in the past, when the three side concubines were present, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have three bowls of water.
Either no one will help, and if you want to help, you will mean to help it.
After the concubines all got up, Pei Xuanling glanced at the concubines present, including the refreshing mint-colored shadow standing in the middle.
After Jiang Shishi, who was wearing a mint-colored skirt, got up, she fanned the wind with a fan while stretching her neck to look at the prince in front of her.
The man is long, gentle and handsome.
Even if he was confined in the Zongren Mansion for more than a month, the man's aura of not being angry and arrogant did not diminish at all, but looked even more cold and majestic.
A pair of deep eyes swept towards the concubines, and when those eyes fell on her for a long time, she happened to make eye contact with the man.
However, there were many people around, and the two only glanced at each other before they looked away.
Concubine Ruan said gently: "Your Highness, the concubine and Sister Su have already asked people to clean the front yard, and in addition, Sister Su and I want to set up a family banquet in the front yard at night to catch the wind and wash the dust for you." ”
"You two have hearts." The prince talked to the two side concubines and went back to the front yard first.
After the concubines greeted the prince, they went back to their respective bedrooms.
Approaching evening, Jiang Shishi held Chunxing's hand in one hand and a fan in the other, and went to the front yard.
Xu is concubines haven't seen the prince for a long time, and by the time Jiang Shishi arrived in the front yard, the rest of the concubines had already arrived.
Jiang Shishi found a place to sit down, and after about a cup of tea, the prince came out of the inner room and sat down on the top.
When everyone arrived, the palace maid and eunuch began to serve the food.
The prince sat at the top alone, the concubines sat at the bottom, and everyone sat at different tables, and there was a small desk in front of them.
Jiang Shishi was hungry for a long time, and when she saw the palace maids serving food, she began to bury her head in the food.
The rest of the concubines hadn't seen the prince for a long time, and they were dedicated to inviting favors.
Concubine Ruan, who is good at calligraphy and painting, said gently: "Your Highness, I heard that the emperor asked you to inspect the water conservancy in various places, and the concubine temporarily drew a map of the mountains and rivers in various places this afternoon, and I would like to invite you to take a look." ”
Pei Xuanling: "You have a heart, but you are going to leave in a few days, there are still many things to deal with in Beijing, you let people send the painting to the front yard, and you will see it when you are free." ”
Even if she was politely rejected by the crown prince, the smile on Concubine Ruan's face did not change, "Yes, the concubine will let the servants send those paintings to the front yard later." ”
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Su said softly: "Your Highness, the last time you stayed in the concubine's body, you said that the peach blossom brewed by the concubine was delicious, and in the days when you were not in the East Palace, the concubine made a lot of peach blossom brew, just wait for His Highness to return to the East Palace and taste it with His Highness." ”
Concubine Su is white-skinned and beautiful, with a slender figure and a forward and backward tilt.
Wearing a colorful dark flower cloud brocade skirt, her skin is as white as snow, and her delicate face is as bright as jade.
Such a woman just sat there and did not speak, and she attracted everyone's attention.
Not to mention that when she spoke softly, a pair of deep phoenix eyes looked at each other with a seductive look, and no man could refuse her.
Concubine Su's appearance simply made men angry and women jealous.
The concubines really didn't expect it... Concubine Su actually invited His Royal Highness to drink together in full view of everyone.
Who doesn't know that wine can help the fun, and if you drink too much at that time, who knows if the drunkard doesn't mean to drink?!
"You've got a heart." Pei Xuanling said lightly: "When Gu is done with the matter at hand, I will go to your place to taste wine." ”
As soon as she heard this, Concubine Su knew that the prince would not go to her tonight, so she bit her lip and answered "yes", looking at the prince with her eyes blank, "The concubine is waiting for you......"
Concubine Ruan and Concubine Su were both invited, and everyone thought it was Concubine Tang's turn, but who knew that Concubine Tang didn't say anything.
She didn't eat either, just sat down, her eyes glazed.
Such an abnormality made the concubines feel strange.
After all, this is not the style of Concubine Tang.
Just when everyone was surprised, the prince looked at Concubine Tang with sharp eyes.
The next moment, a sharp voice sounded in the hall: "Come on, escort Concubine Tang down and grounded!" ”
The prince suddenly gave an order, and everyone in the hall was stunned.
It's good, what did Concubine Tang anger the prince?
Could it be that Concubine Tang had a feud with Jiang Liangdi a while ago, and Jiang Liangdi was the prince's favorite heart.
Therefore, as soon as the prince returned to the East Palace, he began to support Jiang Liangdi?
Jiang Shishi was originally focused on cooking, but when she suddenly heard the prince angrily punishing Concubine Tang, she looked up at the prince and Concubine Tang.
Unlike other concubines, Jiang Shishi didn't think that the prince punished Concubine Tang for her.
The first thing she thought of was that Concubine Tang's bedroom had dug up a paulownia puppet.
Seeing that the palace maids stepped forward to escort Concubine Tang, Concubine Tang broke free from the shackles of the palace maids and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, the concubine has done something wrong, and she has provoked you to be so angry?" ”
"Why Lone is like this, you must know better than Lone." Pei Xuanling looked at Concubine Tang coldly, and her voice sank, "From now on, Concubine Tang will be demoted to a beauty and banned in the palace forever!" ”
"......" to the prince's deep eyes that can see through all, Concubine Tang is quite weak-hearted.
It's just that the prince didn't pierce the layer of paper, so she thought that the prince didn't know about it.
"As a concubine of the East Palace, you want to remove the right of the concubine to be in charge of the East Palace, but it's just a matter of words." Concubine Tang was dying, "Now that you have given an order, you are going to demote the concubine to a beauty, should you give an explanation to the queen and the Tang family?" ”
"Not to mention how arrogant and domineering you are on weekdays, and your mind is vicious." Pei Xuanling's voice was cold, "Let's just say that you colluded with outsiders to bury paulownia puppets in the East Palace, trying to frame Lone for his father's witchcraft, and it should be the queen and the Tang family who gave Lone an explanation!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
What?
The person who caused His Royal Highness to be deposed a while ago was Concubine Tang?!
At this moment, Concubine Tang was so shocked that she fell to the ground.
Obviously, she did that thing seamlessly, but she still let the prince find out about her.
At this point, Concubine Tang didn't quibble, she just sat on the ground like ashes.
Since the prince has said so, presumably the situation is true, Concubine Ruan really doesn't understand why Concubine Tang did this, "Sister Tang, you said that as a concubine of the East Palace, you don't care about the good of His Royal Highness, but you still eat inside and out, it's really incredible." ”
Perhaps it was Concubine Ruan's words that stimulated Concubine Tang, and Concubine Tang, who was sitting on the ground, spoke like a resentful woman.
"Heh, over the years I have been in the East Palace, it's not that I haven't thought about His Royal Highness the Prince, but not only have I not been favored by the Prince, but I have also lost the right to be in charge of the East Palace."
"Not only that, in order to maintain a slender and slender figure, I induced vomiting all year round, so I suffered from stomach pain, and the doctor said that this is an incurable disease, and I only have half a year to live......
Speaking of this, a touch of sadness flashed in Concubine Tang's eyes, and the tears in her eyes kept falling, "If this can be exchanged for the prince's favor, it will be worth my death......"
"But I exhausted my life and couldn't get the prince's favor, why is Jiang Liangdi not self-disciplined, not dieting, and can easily get the prince's favor?"
Concubine Tang's words shocked the concubines present again.
If Concubine Tang hadn't said it herself, they wouldn't have known that Concubine Tang was suffering from stomach pain.
Jiang Shishi: "......"
is another concubine who suffers from a terminal illness because of the impact on her health due to "thinness as beauty".
Stomach pain seems to be stomach cancer in ancient times.
No wonder Concubine Tang has been wearing heavy makeup recently, it turned out that she was suffering from an incurable disease and wanted to cover her appearance with heavy makeup.
Now the tears left a few tear stains on Concubine Tang's face, and those rouge gouaches were washed away by the tears, revealing the original dark yellow complexion.
At this moment, Concubine Tang's face is like a centuries-old house, even if the surface has been renovated again, and the thick putty powder covers the original old appearance.
Once a piece of putty powder falls off the corner, it reveals the original moldy and cracked face.
Counting carefully, Concubine Tang is already the third concubine of the East Palace to suffer from a terminal illness because of maintaining a slim figure, and she will not be the last concubine to fall ill because of this.
There are so many concubines in the East Palace alone who are tormented because of body anxiety, not to mention the top and bottom of the Dongliang Kingdom, there are thousands of women who are like them, ravaged by body anxiety!
"Tang Clan, you colluded with outsiders to frame Your Highness and did such an unforgivable thing, it's not bad that Your Highness didn't want your life." Concubine Su said disdainfully: "Now, not only are you unrepentant, but you are still complaining about the heavens and people here, which is really hopeless!" ”
"Yes, the imperial doctor said that I won't live for a few months, of course I'm hopeless......" Concubine Tang's eyes were full of resentment, "Since I can't live long, I will let the prince and Jiang Liangdi accompany me to the funeral, hahahaha......"
In the end, Concubine Tang smiled maniacally.
"It's just a pity... Their lives are too hard, I put so many poisonous scorpions in Jiang Liangdi's yard, she can be safe and sound. There is also the crown prince, who has obviously been deposed, and is still confined in the Zongren Mansion, just one person will assassinate him, who knows that the peak will turn around, and he will become the prince of the East Palace again! ”
Hearing this, Pei Xuanling's eyes turned cold, "......"
In these days in the Zongren Mansion, he was busy dealing with various official affairs, and he had no time to take care of the East Palace.
Regarding Concubine Tang's release of poisonous scorpions in Shiyue Pavilion, he only learned about it when he returned to the East Palace today.
Although the meat bun was not injured, she let Concubine Tang eat her own fruit afterwards, which was also the wit of the meat bun.
