Older people know that Fan Qiongran, the virtuous concubine in today's holy harem, was the first beauty in Beijing in the past, and twenty years ago, there were many people who flocked to it like a carp crossing the river.

Everyone knows that Fan Qiongran is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a model for all nobles in Beijing, only Gu Sangsang, the daughter of the Gu family, can surpass her in appearance.

But Gu Sangsang, as a woman, and his younger brother Gu Chengqi traveled north and south all day long, showing up to deal with the affairs of the Gu family's businessmen, and they were not liked by those officials and nobles in Beijing, so the title of the first beauty fell to Fan Qiongran.

The first beauty comes by charity, and it is a thorn in Fan Qiongran's heart.

Since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes, and all the princes of Emperor Cheng have imperial concubines, and the world thinks that Fan Qiongran will eventually marry Su Jingqing, a famous young general - and then Su Jingqing will marry a wife and have children, as for dying in battle, it will be later.

That year, Fan Qiongran did not match a hero, but was given by Emperor Cheng to Chu Tingxiao, the king of Chu who had already married Gu Sangsang, as the side princess.

Fan Qiongran and Gu Sangsang, one is gentle as water, obeying the rules, and the other is arrogant and flamboyant, and deviant.

The two women, who have always been diametrically opposed, have been compared, and some people call them Shangjing Shuangshu.

And when Fan Qiongran was given a marriage to Chu Tingxiao as a side concubine, it meant that Fan Qiongran would always be crushed by Gu Sangsang.

Chu Zhao has known since he was a child what kind of person his mother is.

She hates that her reputation as the first beauty comes from the charity of others, she hates that she has become Chu Tingxiao's side concubine, and she hates herself for being named "Virtuous Concubine", the ambition and desire in her heart can devour everything, which is just the opposite of the virtuous word.

Fan Qiongran dreamed of winning over Queen Gu Sangsang, but it was almost impossible to make Chu Ting turn her into the queen after she was abolished, that man was a different emperor, he loved the country, and he actually loved the queen. Fan Qiongran could only bring down the Gu family, hoping that Chu Zhao would ascend the throne and become the queen mother who listened to the government.

Anyone who stood in her way was her enemy—including Chu Zhao.

Therefore, since he can remember, he has been secretly getting rid of Fan Qiongran's perverted desire to control and cultivating his own power.

Whether it was talking about the wind, or forsythia, or even Yiqiu who was killed by him, he took it from his mother little by little, little by little.

He wanted to protect that person, whether she knew it or not, whether he would be misunderstood by her or not.

Only if he can protect her, he is willing to pay any price.

And the more he stayed away from her, the more he showed that he didn't care about her, Fan Qiongran and Fan Qian, so they wouldn't notice her existence.

"If the concubine sends you to the main hall, the main hall can save a lot of effort." Chu Zhao looked at the forsythia in front of him and said lightly.

Forsythia was originally the person he placed next to his mother, but unfortunately, the mother princess valued Narcissus and Yueji more.

Forsythia's apricot eyes were clear and bright, she stared at Chu Zhao for a moment, came back to her senses, and said helplessly: "It's the posture of the slave and the willow, and she can't enter the eyes of the mother, the narcissus is so beautiful, and in the heart of the mother, she can match His Royal Highness." ”

Chu Zhao looked at her for a moment, restrained himself from turning his head, and said softly: "Your eyes are very good-looking." ”

His voice was low, with forbearance and a hint of subtle tenderness.

But Forsythia knows that gentleness is not for herself.

But she was already satisfied, she smiled, and her apricot eyes were bent into crescents: "Your Highness Xie praises." ”

Immediately, Chu Zhao and Tan Feng returned to the office of the dark hall together.

Tan Feng said: "Your Highness hasn't had breakfast yet, so your subordinates will give orders." ”

Chu Zhao stopped him and shook his head: "No need, the main hall is not hungry, has the landscape map of Chen Daozi that I got last time framed?" ”

"It's already packed and in the warehouse."

"Find out, choose the best sandalwood box, and put it in the box, and the box will be lighter with sandalwood."

Tan Feng was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." ”

He didn't ask His Highness who he was doing this to give the landscape map to, because His Highness was so delicate that he could only give it to one person - Chu Yi.

Chu Zhao absentmindedly reviewed a few official documents, and it was not until the third pole of the day that he pressed his sour eyebrows before putting down the wolf in his hand.

"At this time...... It's time for her to wake up. Chu Zhao muttered in a low voice.

He returned to the Hundred Flowers Palace, Fan Yunsheng had been waiting for a while, and was sitting in the side hall, watching the narcissus order tea with great interest, and there were two little palace maids standing behind him who were pinching his shoulders.

"Your Highness is here!"

Narcissus's hand ordering tea trembled suddenly, and the tea rippled.

Fan Yunsheng smiled and reassured: "What are you anxious about?" Your Highness is here to find me. ”

Chu Zhao looked at the two, and his narrow eyes flashed with deep meaning.

He handed over the wooden box of landscape drawings prepared by Tan Feng to Fan Yunsheng, and said: "This is Chen Daozi's authentic handiwork, since you are going to seek Chu Yi, you can't be empty-handed." ”

Fan Yunsheng only felt that the real handwork in his arms was extremely hot, and he couldn't hide his excitement: "Or Your Highness, you are thoughtful, this is really Chen Daozi's real handiwork?" It's hard to find a thousand gold, Chu Yi must like it, Yun Sheng is here to thank Your Highness! ”

He used to please Chu Yi, and he used some rouge gouache gadgets that ordinary women liked, and he would not pay such a big price at all, unless, Chu Zhao.

"Let's go." Chu Zhao endured the jealousy and disgust in his heart, and his voice was cold.

Chu Yi watched a big drama in the morning, went back to Weiyang Palace and fell asleep, and didn't wake up until almost noon.

Fortunately, they were used to the princess's drowsiness, and they were waiting for her with a warm meal.

It's just that when Chu Yi finished freshening up, and as soon as the table full of food was served, a notice came from outside, and Fan Yunsheng asked to see him.

"Nope."

Chu Yi picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of fried meat, his voice was indifferent.

Fan Yunsheng came to see her at this time, except for coming to intercede for Fan Muyuan, Chu couldn't think of any other possibilities.

There was such an experience in her previous life, but at that time, she was just because Sister Fengmian beat Fan Muyuan, and she also sent Fan Muyuan to prison, but she didn't tear her face with Fan Yunsheng, and listened to him for an hour in vain.

Pillow Xue went out to spread the word, and came back after a while: "Your Highness, the fourth prince is also here." ”

Chu Yi put down the chopsticks in his hand and frowned slightly.

She thought of Chu Zhao's killing of Yi Qiu before, and she hadn't figured out what Chu Zhao meant.

"Let's let it dry for a while," Chu Yi's red lips raised a cold smile, "You go and call Xiao Nian and ask him to bring a team of Yulin Army, and if anyone goes crazy later, take it." ”

Pillow Xue should get down, thought about it and said: "By the way, Your Highness, the entourage that followed by the four princes today is called Tan Feng, Your Highness still remembers that in the side hall of the Taihe Hall before, Xu Xiang forced his way into the inner hall to relieve the siege for you?" There is also a slave and maid who was pasted with that yellow charm by Xu Xiang, and the people he happened to meet in Xiao Nian were all him. ”

Chu Yi had a vague impression in his heart, and gritted his teeth: "He brought Tan Feng here today, did he tell Bengong that he helped Bengong?" Is this summing? ”

She was about to sell Chu Zhao a face, but she heard Fan Yunsheng's roar outside:

"Yi'er, are you really so ruthless, don't you even see me!"
