Just after October, the weather in Beirong turned cooler rapidly.

A narrow and simple courtyard in the palace of King Zhao.

Towards evening, the sky was rolling with rolling clouds, there was no light in the house, and the cold was pressing.

Wen Yujiao sat in front of the window sewing a child's winter coat, and the two-year-old girl shrunk beside her, her hairy little head rubbing warm on her.

"!" A little girl in green suddenly panted and ran in, and said aggrievedly, "The slave maid saw that it was cold, so she went to the kitchen to ask for some charcoal, but the charcoal didn't come...... I also took a beating! ”

"Luzhu, don't bother Niangniang about these things, I'll accompany you to ask for it later." Mama Fang came out of the back room and handed a flannel-wrapped hand stove to the woman who was doing needlework in front of the window.

Wen Yujiao took the hand stove and handed it to the little girl next to her: "We are sending people under the fence, what people give, just use it." ”

She was wearing an ordinary green cloth jacket skirt, her hair was half-pulled into a snake bun, and a white hosta was inserted at random, but she couldn't hide the light in her apricot eyes, and she was charming.

"But they don't give it at all! The crown princess ...... "Luzhu was so anxious that she was about to cry."

"We are now in Beirong, not in Daliang, don't call Niangniang in the future, just call ...... Madame! Wen Yujiao looked up at the window and exhaled a breath of white air, "I will go to Hanchun Courtyard to talk about the charcoal fire later." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mama Fang and Lu Zhu glanced at each other, secretly cold.

There is no one for the crown princess to be Wen Yujiao.

She was originally the granddaughter of Prime Minister Wen Song, and she married Zhao Zheng, the prince of Liang State, which can be regarded as a beautiful scenery.

But who knew that the prince had a very favored concubine Xu Fang early in the morning, Wen Yujiao was like a background board in the East Palace, not only was she not favored, but she also had to help a little concubine with a palace girl.

The name of this concubine was also given by Concubine Xu, Mei'er, no son! Concubine Xu asked Wen Yujiao to take this oil bottle, and she couldn't give birth to a son in her life.

Sure enough, Wen Yujiao has been married for almost three years, and she has not even touched the corner of the prince's clothes, every time the prince goes to her bedroom, the Xu family will cry, make trouble and hang herself, and the prince can only turn to visit the Xu family.

Three months ago, the rebel army broke through the capital of Daliang, and Zhao Zheng naturally fled with his Bai Yueguang Concubine Xu in a hurry, leaving Wen Yujiao dumbfounded.

On the night of the Wandu Rebellion, she almost became the plaything of the rebellious army, but fortunately, her grandfather Wen Xiang left a few confidants for her and escorted her and Mei'er to the neighboring country of Beirong.

With the seal of the prince of Liang, they took refuge in the Zhaowang Mansion in Beirong.

When she first came, she was fine, Wen Yujiao had some jewelry and silver money in her hand, and she was generous in rewarding her subordinates, and everyone in the palace treated them politely.

But two months have passed, and all the letters sent to Prince Daliang have been lost, and the money in their hands is almost running out.

No one on the Liang side cares about their life or death, and the maid in the Zhaowang Mansion is not so angry with her, the "princess of the dead and the country".

Even the jade concubine who was in charge of the middle feed of King Zhao's mansion politely called her "princess" at the beginning, but now she has a cold face and asks to see her.

"Wen's! Wen's! Outside the door, there was the voice of a woman shouting at the top of her voice.

"Mama, go take a look." Wen Yujiao vigilantly put away the needle and thread and hugged Mei'er into her hands.

Mama Fang should "yes" lift the curtain and go out, and after a while, she led a long-faced woman in.

It turned out to be Mama Jiang beside King Zhao's side concubine Yu.

"Mama Jiang, please take a seat, but what does the side concubine have to say to me?" Wen Yujiao glanced at Lu Zhu, and the latter hurriedly moved a small pestle over and asked the long-faced woman to sit down.

This is Weizhou at the junction of Beirong and Daliang, King Zhao leads troops to guard the border all the year round, and there is no concubine in Zhaowang's mansion, and everything in the palace is in charge of the jade side concubine.

The long-faced mother-in-law sat down proudly, looked around the room, and said angrily: "Concubine Niangniang asked me to bring you a letter." Half a month ago, Zhao Chuang, the emperor of the Great Liang, had died in Yuzhou, and now the leader of the rebel army is self-reliant in Wandu, that is to say, you Great Liang ...... Dead. ”

Although it was expected, a few people in the room still felt a chill when they heard it.

In the past, they could still live in the Zhaowang Mansion as the crown princess of Liang Kingdom, but now they ......

"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Mama Fang hurriedly asked.

On the night of the Wandu Rebellion, Emperor Zhao Chuang was escorted by the Soldiers and Horses Division of the capital and fled west to Yuzhou, where he continued to command the army to fight the rebellious army, and occasionally news came.

The crown prince Zhao Zheng was escorted by the guards of the East Palace and fled south, and has not been heard from so far.

Mama Jiang snorted coldly, crossed Erlang's legs, and said to Wen Yujiao, "Your good prince, you have long taken his favorite concubine and don't know where to hide to enjoy happiness, and you still count on him?" ”

Wen Yujiao bit her lip, her face was as earthy: "Thank you Mama for coming to tell me the news." ”

If Zhao Zheng still has a little blood, and the news of his father's death in battle comes out, he should quickly ascend the throne and command the remnants of the Great Liang to contend with the rebellious army.

But half a month has passed, and Zhao Zheng has no news, indicating that he is either dead or ...... I'm not going to take over this mess.

"Wen, since Da Liang is dead, you are not the crown princess of Da Liang, but a homeless. The jade side concubine ordered you to ...... Immediately pack up your things and follow Master Hu of Tianruisi. Lord Hu is in charge of the resettlement of displaced people, and we in Zhaowangfu don't care about this. Mama Jiang stood up as she spoke, and looked at Luzhu and Mama Fang again, "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't you want to help Wen's clean up? ”

"What do you say! Our lady is not an outcast, she is a ......" Green Pearl's eyes were cracked, and her little fists were clenched.

"What is she? You say! The long-faced woman sneered, leaned closer to Luzhu's face and said, "I heard that Master Hu has a special method to settle the young girls, I advise you, hurry up!" Maybe the child will be favored by the master of which family in the Hongxiu Courtyard, and it is not necessary to ask him to go home as a concubine, it is better than ...... It's good to pick up customers in Hongxiu Courtyard for a lifetime. ”

Lu Zhu was so angry that her lips bit out blood, and she couldn't wait to go up and tear her mouth, but at this time, there were still a few powerful stout women standing in the yard, and Mama Jiang was obviously prepared.

"Mama Jiang, we still have some silver on us, we don't go to Tianruisi, please go back to Concubine Yubian, let us ...... Go for yourself. Wen Yujiao was anxious and frightened, hugging Mei'er and trembling slightly, "Thank you for taking her in these days." ”

Tianruisi is an institution set up by the Beirong Imperial Court to be responsible for the resettlement of displaced people, but it is just ...... Everyone in the city of Weizhou knows that on the surface, what that place does is the merit of giving porridge and squandering money, but secretly it is doing dirty human trafficking, especially young women and children.

Mer and Luzhu must not be allowed to follow her to a place like Tianruisi.
