Chapter 40 Liwang is a scumbag who degrades his wife and becomes a concubine
Today is a crisp autumn day, sunny and cloudless.
Zhou Yunyi wore a grand costume and a golden phoenix crown symbolizing the queen's identity on his head.
Today is the day to leave the king and return to Beijing, and everyone is dressed up very solemnly, ready to follow Xiao Chengze to the main hall to greet Xiao Chengtian.
The venue of the banquet was in the Qingnan Palace, and everyone had already arranged everything, Zhou Yunyi also specially ordered someone to take Concubine Zhang to the Qingnan Hall early, so that she could rest there, and she didn't have to come out to greet her, just wait for everyone to welcome her son Xiao Chengtian, and then send her to the front.
The rest of the people followed Xiao Chengze to the main hall to greet Xiao Chengtian.
Xiao Chengtian's carriage and horse finally drove slowly into Zhumen at noon.
According to convention, he was not allowed to bring his guards into the palace, so when he came in, there was only one carriage left.
Zhou Yunyi is now very much looking forward to meeting her sister Zhou Yunlin. After all, the relationship between the two sisters has always been very good, and the next time they are separated for such a long time, they are really panicked.
Xiao Chengtian was the first to get down from the carriage and prepared to walk up the steps.
There are 999 steps in the main hall, and it is very laborious to walk, if you are not in good health, I am afraid. You can't walk half of the stairs.
Maybe when it was built at the beginning, it was just for Tujili and didn't take into account the fact that there was no elevator in ancient times, and it was necessary to climb section by section, I don't know if Zhou Lingyi can climb up smoothly? After all, Zhou Lingyi's body is also very weak.
Zhou Yunyi watched as another woman got out of the carriage. It's just that why does this woman look so far away and look a little like her sister, is it because she is fat? Or pregnant?
Xiao Chengtian walked in front, and the woman followed behind, and the difference between the two was about four or five steps, and the two of them climbed a pillar of incense for a total of time to climb to their location, and when the people came up, Zhou Yunyi fixed his eyes and looked, where is his sister? It's clearly a woman I've never seen before.
I saw that this woman had deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and an exotic style, obviously not from the Central Plains, but from the Tusi Village.
Zhou Yunyi pulled his neck and looked back, only to see that the carriage had already been taken away by the coachman. It's really strange that Xiao Chengtian returned to Beijing to visit his seriously ill mother, so naturally he should be accompanied by the princess, and when he came back to take care of his mother-in-law, how could he only bring a foreign woman?
Could it be that Xiao Chengtian favored his concubine and killed his wife.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Chengtian saluted like Xiao Chengze, and Xiao Chengze also hurriedly helped Xiao Chengtian up.
"Brother, it's good to be back, I'm still tired all the way." Xiao Chengze greeted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The journey was smooth, and I didn't suffer too much, so naturally I couldn't call it tired. "Xiao Chengtian's uncle's courtiers reported to the emperor.
"Brother, don't be polite, you and I have been separated for so long, I miss you very much."
Xiao Chengze said this, there were seven or eight points off, after all, he didn't want Xiao Chengtian to return to Beijing.
Because Xiao Chengtian's ambition has not disappeared, returning to normal will only make his ambition even more inflated.
Xiao Chengze is also a person who takes care of the affection of siblings, and he doesn't want to kill his brothers and sisters when the time comes, so that he will be sorry for both his father and their family's century-old foundation.
"This is." Xiao Chengze obviously also saw a woman following Xiao Chengtian.
"This is my new princess." Xiao Chengtian took Su Gucha's hand, the two of them were intimate, and anyone who saw it would know that the two of them were newly married.
Su Gu Chacha is very well-behaved and sensible, and uses Han etiquette to meet Xiao Chengze and Zhou Yunyi.
"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother."
Zhou Yunyi was shocked, if the so-called Su Gu Chacha in front of him was the princess. Then her sister. What kind of identity is it, and where is it?
Zhou Yunyi endured the doubts in her heart, because she knew that she couldn't attack Xiao Chengtian on such an occasion because of this.
Xiao Chengze briefly exchanged a few words with them outside, and took everyone to the venue where the banquet was held
Xiao Chengtian looked at Concubine Zhang who was sitting in the seat, he was very excited, and knelt in front of Concubine Zhang.
"Mother, my son is back." Xiao Chengtian gave Concubine Zhang three kowtows.
Xiao Chengtian introduced the identity of Su Gu Chacha to Concubine Zhang. "This is my newly married concubine, Su Gu Chacha, she is the daughter of Su Gu Toast."
The good guy knows that Xiao Chengtian is still ambitious, and sure enough, Su Gu Chacha's identity is not ordinary, and the fourth daughter of Tu is also half a princess. Toast is generally self-reliant, though nominally it may be, allegiance to Bactria . But in practice, it's just not. A tribute to everyone. He enjoys a high degree of height. Self-management. Not bound by outsiders.
Su Gu Chacha also followed Xiao Chengtian and knelt in front of Concubine Zhang.
"Daughter-in-law, Su Gu Chacha see the mother concubine." Su Gu Chacha also kowtowed three times, and his heart was very sincere.
Concubine Zhang was obviously a little panicked and at a loss, her son brought it back, why not Zhou Lingyi, it was the wife who had been set for Xiao Chengtian before, and now she received another woman, I don't know where she came from, on top of the main hall, she called her mother concubine in front of so many people, and Concubine Zhang was not good, so she didn't agree.
Zhou Yunyi's face was almost green with anger, Xiao Chengtian, a bastard, actually abandoned his sister in order to marry a toast's daughter.
How many talented women were Zhou Lingyi who was famous back then? Literati and Ink Writers. They all bowed down under his pomegranate skirt. They came to their house to propose, but what could they do? Zhou Lingyi only pounced. Xiao Chengtian's body.
The bayberry who followed behind, also went to the earth-shattering melon in a row, Xiao Chengtian and Zhou Lingyi's thoughts back then were in the minds of many people, and they were a model of talent and beauty.
It's only been a long time now, and this exposes the scumbag's nature.
Zhou Yunyi tried to calm down.
Concubine Zhang coughed twice, and successfully became the focus of the audience, Xiao Chengze looked at Concubine Zheng's body was too fragile and afraid of the banquet. went to look for him, but he was afraid that the accompaniment of dancing would disturb him with the sound of silk and bamboo, so he simply sent someone to send Concubine Zhang back to the palace to rest.
After Concubine Zhang left, the banquet officially began.
When everyone sat down on the banquet, Xiao Chengtian and Su Gu Chacha were still talking and laughing, and after singing and dancing together, everyone began to drink.
I'm just starting to drink.
Xiao Chengze is naturally also indispensable to be polite, and he toasts his brother with two glasses.
"Back to Your Majesty, my husband is too strong to drink, and Su Gu Chacha is willing to have a drink on behalf of his husband and His Majesty the Emperor." After Su Gu Chacha finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup without blinking.
Zhou Yunyi knew that Su Gu Cha was showing others how much he drank and showing his pride. is also showing that he is Xiao Chengtian's wife and can block wine for him.
After Su Gu Chacha finished drinking, he turned the wine glass upside down, and not a drop of wine remained, everyone praised him for his good amount of wine, Su Gu Chacha sat back in his seat, and Xiao Chengtian used himself. Wang Gui. Clothes made of silk wiped the remaining wine stains from the corners of his mouth.
Zhou Yunyi really couldn't bear it anymore.
Show affection, die fast.
"There is a question in this palace, where is my sister now?" Zhou Yunyi asked. Both of their faces turned cold.
Su Gu Chacha's heart was straight, "Concubine Zhou, I didn't come if I was unwell." We were supposed to bring her with us. ”
Xiao Chengtian immediately returned to his peaceful appearance, "Lingyi."
She was pregnant with a child and often felt unwell. I'm afraid she's having a tire. I didn't let her come. ”
The husband and wife sang and harmonized, and Zhou Yunyi was disgusted.
What kind of bastard is Xiao Chengtian! Zhou Lingyi is the wife he is marrying, Zhou Lingyi is pregnant with a child for him, he actually dares to degrade his wife to a concubine and marry Tusi's daughter. It's shameless.
After Zhou Yunyi heard about her sister Zhou Lingyi, she was indignant.
"Concubine, if you are unwell, retire first." Zhou Yun saluted and prepared to leave the banquet.
Xiao Chengze just nodded slightly, he knew that Zhou Yunyi was about to explode now, and he had to endure it again.
This is not good for the body, it is better to let Zhou Yunyi leave the banquet early and go out to vent.
Zhou Yunyi left the banquet and immediately rushed to the Tai Hospital.
"The queen doesn't know where she is unwell?" The little imperial doctor on duty asked Zhou Yunyi again.
Zhou Yunyi pretended to be drunk, "It's nothing, it's just that I couldn't hold back at the banquet just now, I drank two more glasses, and now I'm dizzy, so I trouble the little doctor to open a sobering soup for the palace." ”
"Wechen obeys." The imperial doctor quickly helped Zhou Yunyi prepare a sobering soup.
Zhou Yunyi took advantage of the time when the imperial doctor grabbed the medicine, and secretly stole some medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet.
Then he took the sobering soup wrapped by the imperial doctor and the stolen medicinal herbs to the imperial dining room.
At this time, Lao Qian was still stir-frying with an oversized spatula in front of the cauldron.
Zhou Yunyi walked to the side of the cauldron, "Old money, there are still a few dishes that have not been served." ”
Only then did Lao Qian see that it was Zhou Yunyi.
"Why is the queen here? This imperial dining room is cooking, and there is a lot of smoke, so let's go out and talk, so as not to stain your clothes. ”
Lao Qian wiped the oil on his hands with the apron on his body, and prepared to go out to chat with Zhou Yunyi.
Zhou Yunyi took a look at the people around him, and it was indeed not a good place to talk, so he simply went to the imperial dining room with Lao Qian's meaning, and found a place with chicken horns outside.
Zhou Yunyi looked at no one around, and then took out the medicinal materials that he had stolen from the imperial doctor just now from his arms.
"Put this thing in your boiled soup for a while, remember to skim it when it is served, and then disappear it when it is at the end, you know."
Zhou Yunyi said so vaguely, Lao Qian was taken aback, Queen Mother, this is to borrow my hand to kill...... Kill...... Person?
Lao Qian was even scared to tremble in his inner monologue.
"I don't dare, Queen Mother, this."
"If you don't dare, I'll let you go."
Zhou Yunyi's face was firm, and he had no intention of giving up.
"Then the queen mother, can you tell the little one, what the hell is this. Something? Old Qian leaned in and asked.
"What's that? Aren't they just medicinal herbs? Zhou Yunyi was very unimpressed.
Lao Qian looked at the medicinal herbs in his hand and said, "This medicinal herb must be used to cure diseases, if it is a medicine that is not sick, isn't it poison?" ”
"What kind of poison, your imagination is too rich."
Lao Qian touched his head and realized that he was wrong to blame Zhou Yunyi. "Since it's not poison, what the hell is it? Queen, don't beat around the bush, I'm stupid and can't guess. ”
Zhou Yunyi decided to tell Lao Qian Zhenxiang, "This is just ......"
