Chapter 46: Drawing the Sword
Concubine Xian stopped talking, and when she saw the curtain open, a girl in a palace dress in purple walked in, with a smile on her face, and beckoned her to her: "Are you back?" ”
The seventh princess is slender and speaks softly: "Mother, I went to see the Queen Mother just now, and I heard that Zhaoning will be back soon, isn't it?" ”
Speaking of the nine princesses of Zhaoning, Concubine Xian's face showed a little disgust.
It's not because of anything else, it's mainly that the ninth princess is really arrogant and domineering, no one looks at it, she has no dignity for King Qi and King Zhou, and she is no better for King Lu.
Especially the seventh princess, she is pressed by her everywhere.
At this time, when she heard her daughter mention Princess Zhaoning, Concubine Xian knew after a little thought that it must have been discussed between Emperor Yongchang and Empress Dowager Cui just now to bring Zhaoning back.
Also, Queen Shao is such a daughter, she has been obedient to her since she was a child, what is not dependent on her to indulge her? It's been so long since she went to Huangjue Temple this time, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, she is reluctant to let her daughter spend the New Year in that deserted temple no matter what.
It's human nature to take it back.
She snorted.
The seventh princess was silent.
Concubine Xian glanced sideways at her: "What's wrong?" Out of sorts? ”
The seventh princess bit her lip and sighed, lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her clothes, and after a while, she said, "I don't like the ninth sister coming back, and when she comes back, I will definitely not have a good life." ”
No girl likes to be pressed all the time, but the ninth princess has been pressed by the seventh princess everywhere since she was a child, whether it is food and clothing, or title, she is ahead of the seventh princess.
And now it's out of the cabinet to read, and there are companions.
If she is still pressed by the Nine Princesses as before, how should the companions view her?
She has been having a smooth life in the palace these days, and she really doesn't want to look at people's faces everywhere like before.
Concubine Xian's face also sank, touched her daughter's hair and exhaled softly: "Don't be afraid, now we are different from the past, now that the mother concubine is in charge of palace affairs, and your brother is also highly used, if she is clear-headed, she should know how to converge." If she doesn't know how to converge, her mother won't let her! ”
That being said, the seventh princess was still a little sullen.
Concubine Xian sent her daughter down to rest, and let out a long breath herself.
Malqueck persuaded softly: "Don't worry about Niangniang, that one went to Huangjue Temple to live for so long this time, but as long as his mind is still clear, he should learn a little bit of goodness, besides, who doesn't know that our prince is cooking oil with fire and flowers are brocade?" They will always have scruples. ”
King Lu has been really strong recently, and he was the first to propose to pass his stepson to the first prince.
Now the Ministry of Rites is studying the etiquette system, and it is very busy with this matter.
And no matter which son is passed to the first prince, for Emperor Yongchang, it is the heir of the first prince, and the feelings are different.
This is equivalent to King Lu's own three sons, two of whom can have the title of prince.
And for Emperor Yongchang, King Lu is undoubtedly filial and caring.
Queen Shao is indeed pregnant with a child, but needless to say, so many brothers in front of her have already given birth to adults, he doesn't know whether it is a man or a woman, even if a boy is born, he has grown up safely, where can he fight these brothers?
Although everyone doesn't say it, the status of the seventh princess will actually overpower the ninth princess sooner or later.
Concubine Xian snorted coldly, and when she mentioned the ninth princess, her face was cold: "That's a madman!" I don't know where I learned to do it, everything is rampant, there are no rules at all, don't say so much, let people look at her strictly, if she offends the seventh princess again, she can't let the seventh princess suffer! ”
Mallow solemnly agreed.
But Concubine Xian thought about it, but she still couldn't feel at ease.
After a pause, she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what about the girl from the Lu family?" ”
Malallow didn't think about it for a while, but after a while, she remembered that it was Lu Mingwei who asked Concubine Xian, and hurriedly said, "Oh, Miss Lu hasn't entered the palace yet, that is, it's been these two days." ”
Lu Mingwei is not liked by Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian needs her to enter the palace, and this mallow also knows.
Concubine Xian looked at her: "Isn't the ninth princess coming back?" She also needs to be accompanied by reading, so let her accompany the ninth princess. ”
She will not forget the temper of the ninth princess, and Lu Mingwei happens to be a hard stubble, when these two people meet together, the sky and thunder will stir up the earth, and they will definitely make trouble.
At that time, the attention of the ninth princess was all attracted by Lu Mingwei, and she didn't have the heart to trouble the seventh princess.
Besides, the Nine Princesses are also easy to use.
It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
As soon as she heard it, she knew what Concubine Xian meant, and when she asked Lu Mingwei to come in before, she was actually for the seventh princess to be a companion, and there was one less companion for the seventh princess.
But now Concubine Xian's meaning is clearly to add another one to the seventh princess, and Lu Mingwei went directly to the ninth princess.
Everyone knows the temper of the ninth princess, Lu Mingwei serves her, and she has to jump every day.
When Mallow thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh: "Niangniang is really a chess master, don't everyone outside say that this Lu Er girl is not afraid of heaven and earth?" It just so happens that our ninth princess is also a violent temper, these two people deserve this fate. ”
Both laughed.
Outside the palace, Cui Minglou went to Baoding Tower as soon as he left the palace.
It happened that Feng Yao woke up, he was running around for the past few days, and the wind happened to blow last night, and he was a little dizzy and swollen for a while, and his throat was still sore, so he had a headache and asked people to ask for a doctor.
Cui Minglou saw him when he entered the door and was startled: "What's wrong with you?" How can you be sick? ”
Feng Yao was a little listless, hugging the quilt and looking at him: "You entered the palace to impeach your concerts like snowflakes recently, right?" ”
Cui Minglou pulled a chair and sat opposite him, and muttered: "Yes, anyway, there are many inconveniences in living in the palace, and I don't bother to be an eyesore in it, so I went to ask the saint to let me out." ”
"What did the Holy One say?" Feng Yao's face was a little serious: "There are some things that can be said, and some things that can't be said, you still have to be a little measured." Recently, the prince must have been pressed here, and he was constrained everywhere, if you make any mistakes, I am afraid that the prince's situation will be even more difficult. ”
is talking about King Zhou.
King Zhou has been targeted by King Lu recently, and it is indeed a little difficult to move an inch.
Queen Shao in the palace is now clearly alienated from King Zhou and his wife.
