Chapter 23: The Prince Who Died in the East Palace
I saw Xie Qingzhang refining words.
A light-colored straight jacket has been washed white, and there is not even a crown on his head, only a hosta of poor quality.
Old lady Xie felt uncomfortable for a while, put down the crutches, and finally knelt on the ground, and the old man's voice was trembling: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has made you suffer." ”
The pen in Xie Qingzhang's hand paused.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... How long has it been since I heard these four words?
Xie Qingzhang's eyes couldn't help but glow with a dark cold color.
His name is not Xie Qingzhang, nor is he the concubine of the Xie family, but the crown prince Fu Lingchao, who should have died in the East Palace twelve years ago!
The fire took the life of his mother, but he was rescued by Mrs. Xie.
Then, he was taken to live in the ancestral home of the Xie family, until four years later, when he was ten years old, his appearance had changed greatly, and he returned to Beijing as the concubine of the Xie family.
In a flash, twelve years have passed, and he has been dormant, and when he has enough strength, he will slash the enemy and take back everything that belongs to him.
Fu Lingchao came back to his senses, and saw that Old Lady Xie was still kneeling there, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Grandfather, how many times have you said it, don't call it this title." ”
"Yes......" Old Lady Xie stood up with his hand, "Child, I have made you suffer." ”
"What's this pain?"
Old Lady Xie sighed fiercely: "Now that Miss Lu Er is suddenly back, what should I do?" ”
Fu Lingchao is not the real concubine of the Xie family, he will ascend the throne in the future, and the queen he will marry in the future should naturally be the daughter of a powerful minister.
can be the concubine of the Xie family, and it is destined to be impossible to book a good family affair.
But when Fu Ling returned to the capital at the beginning, the Xie family had not yet fallen, and the old lady Xie was still a scholar who was highly valued by the emperor.
In order to pull the cage relationship, the Lu family happened to have a concubine of the right age, so they had to be engaged to Fu Lingchao.
At that time, Mrs. Xie was working outside.
Seeing that Lu Zhen'er was good-looking, she was the daughter of the concubine, and Fu Lingchao was the concubine, so he felt that the door was right, so he agreed.
By the time he returned, the two were engaged.
It is impossible for him to fight for the unfavored concubine in his family, otherwise it will attract attention.
Therefore, this marriage can only be agreed, and it will be counted later.
Later, when the family fell into the middle of the road, he thought that the Lu family would definitely quit his family.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he actually made a substitution for marriage.
Today he thought the same as Fu Lingchao, thinking that Lu Shuyao would leave, and asked for a letter to release his wife, but he didn't think that she would come back!
"Let's do it first, and then talk about it later." Fu Ling said.
"Hmm." Old Lady Xie nodded.
"Grandfather, don't call me that anymore. Now, please remember that I am the concubine of the Xie family. And do not be biased against me in anything. ”
"I don't care about your business anymore. The events of the past few days are too big to be managed. I just said a few fair words, and they will think that I am biased towards you. Old lady Xie smiled impatiently. My legs and feet are inconvenient, and you have such an identity, I won't go out of the house in the future, you can handle it well. ”
"Yes." Fu Lingchao nodded.
After Mrs. Xie finished speaking, she left on crutches.
Fu Lingchao thought of Lu Shuyao, the girl with a delicate face and baby fat......
However, neither Lu Shuyao nor Lu Zhener is qualified to be the queen.
The person he wants to marry must also be someone whose family is strong enough to help him.
Fu Lingchao picked up the pen again and dipped it in ink.
At this time, Nanfeng and Dongyang walked in together: "Third Master, Miss Lu Er sent her subordinates away. ”
"It's weird." The surprise on Dongyang's face was still not there.
A pampered daughter like Lu Shuyao, there are at least five or six people waiting for her, inside and out, and she actually sent them all away? Can she get used to it?
"Hmm." Nanfeng nodded, "She only left Dong'er and Rushui, oh, by the way, and a little guy who ran errands outside." ”
"Third Master, what should Miss Lu Er do now?" Dongyang looked at Fu Lingchao, a little entangled.
"Change your words, call the third grandmother." Fu Lingchao Qingzhuo's face was not shocked, "Shout like this first, otherwise it will be too eye-catching." ”
Fu Lingchao's bright and gorgeous eyes swept over the cold waves, put down the pen, and on the yellowish rice paper was a big word "Jing".
When all the dowries were put into the wings, it was dark.
Lu Shuyao rested on the couch, the translucent palace fan in her hand shook from time to time, and her eyelids were so tired that she was fighting.
"Miss." Dong'er walked in, "After Mrs. Xie and the others left, they actually went to the study to find Master Xie to make trouble!" ”
The palace fan in Lu Shuyao's hand was stunned, and she knew it in her heart.
Xie Qingzhang, as the most unfavored concubine in the family, has been hated for marrying Lu Zhen'er, and now that he has changed to a concubine, his mother-in-law and brother naturally can't accept it.
"Where did you get this news?" Lu Shuyao said.
"It's a little girl who sweeps the floor outside, named Xiaoxi, I only have three or four copper plates in my pocket, stuff it into her, and she is so happy that she pours out everything she knows." Dong'er sighed helplessly.
These three or four cents, even if they fall on the ground, they are too lazy to pick them up, which shows that the Xie family is so poor that they have any fields.
"You call her over, I'll ask something." Lu Shuyao said.
"What does Miss want to ask? Is it the people who came here today? Dong'er raised her eyebrows, "Xiaoxi has already told me." ”
Dong'er hurriedly squeaked and introduced those people, Lu Shuyao half-squinted and matched them all one by one.
Dong'er said: "Xiaoxi said, the study is so noisy that the roof is about to be lifted!" Mrs. Xie actually said that she was going to divorce you, Miss. Aunt Hua cried and said that it was unfair, saying that the third master could not marry a young lady, but could only marry a village girl! and clamoring to let the second master withdraw from the family, and you can find another one than Miss! ”
Lu Shuyao smiled, this Aunt Hua is really wonderful!
"What's even more incredible is that Master Xie can't do anything about them! They almost didn't hit him on the ground! Speaking of this, Dong'er laughed happily and shook her head: "Master Xie is really cowardly and easy to bully!" Later, the old lady came, and the matter was settled. ”
"Old lady?" Lu Shuyao was stunned.
"Well, the grandfather of the third master. He used to be a very powerful person! Less than forty, he is an official to the second grade of Shangshu! Highly valued by the emperor, a great future! How did he come up with the later fraud case, he resigned from the emperor in anger, and the Xie family ended up like this. Since then, Mrs. Xie has lived in a simple house, and he didn't even appear when the third master got married yesterday. I really can't make a fuss today, so I came out to take a look. ”
Lu Shuyao sighed lightly and nodded: "That Xiaoxi, you get along well with her, maybe you can use it in the future." ”
"Hmm." Dong'er nodded.
"Miss, the kitchen delivers food!" Like water coming over.
Lu Shuyao walked down, and the three of them came to the hall, only to see a black and thin maid coming over with a food box.
