In the Changchun Palace, the cry of the eldest princess of Ruyang was earth-shattering, and she looked at Gu Guifei with fierce eyes while crying, "Ayan, my hard-working daughter, who killed you?" Come and tell your mother that she will avenge you even if she doesn't even want her life. ”

Under the gaze of such a gaze, Gu Guifei was irrepressibly a little flustered, her life was always smooth. was born in a noble family, and when she got married, she became the most favored concubine in the palace, how could she have been treated like this.

Gu Guifei looked around in a hurry, always pampering her majesty, and her own dependence, King Yu, was not there. She explained incoherently, trying to clear her suspicions, but now, where could she still explain clearly?

Although everyone present said that they wanted to find out about this matter, their eyes couldn't stop drifting to Gu Guifei's body. During the Dragon Boat Festival, after Jun of Rongde County went to Baojing Tower to ask Gu Guifei for peace, he accidentally fell into the water. It has already made many powerful people in Beijing suspect that this matter is the handiwork of Gu Guifei and His Royal Highness King Yu.

Today, the eldest princess of Ruyang cried in public that her daughter's marriage was difficult, and many people felt that he was using the queen mother to force Gu Guifei and His Royal Highness King Yu to comply. Gu Guifei and His Royal Highness King Yu are domineering, and many people know it.

Many people felt that it would not be surprising if Concubine Gu and His Royal Highness King Yu were under such persecution from the eldest princess of Ruyang, and they would simply kill the monarch of Rongde County again. Therefore, the eyes of the people present lingered on the bodies of Gu Guifei and His Royal Highness King Yu.

The eldest princess of Ruyang even brought this matter to Her Majesty.

It's a pity that it's not very useful, and I don't know if it's for the sake of His Royal Highness King Yu's face, His Majesty just said lightly, "It's hot in summer, and the little lady is greedy and cold when she plays, so she accidentally fell into the water and lost her life." ”

A royal noblewoman who was personally crowned by His Majesty was actually killed in this way.

The follow-up to this matter was that the eldest princess of Ruyang was sealed with two hundred households of food to appease, Gu Guifei was demoted to Gu Concubine, and His Royal Highness King Yu was ordered to think about it at home.

However, the servants of the eldest princess's mansion could see that the eldest princess gritted her teeth and threw the holy decree away and threw it on the ground after the eunuch who announced the decree left.

The Changchun Palace is also not very peaceful, Queen Wen sent her henchmen as soon as she learned of this incident to reduce the food and clothing of the new Gu Concubine to the level of concubines, and all the things that did not conform to the etiquette system were sealed and moved. Concubine Gu also gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do, otherwise Queen Wen would be able to punish her with a light overstep.

On that day, there was a commotion in the palace at first, and then it suddenly calmed down because of the corpse of Rongde County Jun found in Changchun Palace. And the East Palace was originally in the center of the whirlpool of this matter, but in the end it avoided all the wind and rain safely.

This kind of means and courage made many people in the former harem admire.

It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that the East Palace is actually not peaceful.

Father-in-law Fushuang led the palace maids who served by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess every day, such as cutting ice, melting snow, persimmon, and snow tea, and waited outside the door of the study tremblingly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess are retreating from the crowd, what are they talking about? Several people were sad, worried that the two would be unhappy because of unrelated things.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess had an unpleasant quarrel, the entire East Palace was actually trembling, lest it would make the masters unhappy.

But in the study, there was not actually the storm they had imagined. The atmosphere between Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen can even be regarded as harmony.

"Ah Rui", when Lu Bingzhen, who was sitting opposite him, heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him calling her name in a low voice, he only felt a kind of gentle restraint in his voice.

remembered what Qing Yan said a few days ago. Lu Bingzhen was a little shaken, should she believe him? Do you believe that he just wants to pull out the thorns in his authority, rather than restricting his own actions, or even guarding against the Fan Yang Lu family? But could she trust him?

Since the establishment of the new dynasty, it has been a confrontation between the royal family and the family. It is difficult to say whether there is anything to do with the fall of the former Zhaolie Crown Princess and the Lanling Chen family. Therefore, since the founding of the Ji Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a woman from a family to enter the East Palace.

The two of them, one is the prince of the country with great power, and the other is the noble daughter of the most prominent family. The difference in the camps of the two is enough for Lu Bingzhen to speculate about Xiao Min's thoughts repeatedly.

However, when he met Xiao Min's gaze again, Lu Bingzhen had a certain determination for some reason. She will not be the crown princess of Zhaolie, and Qingyan will not be the prince of Zhaolie.

After this day, both of them seemed to have broken free.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quietly moved back to Jinghe Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess often appeared in His Royal Highness the Prince's study.

However, in the study of the East Palace, the relationship between the two is not as strong as everyone in the East Palace thinks, but a different situation.

A twelve-open rosewood landscape interstitial screen opened two people and others, on one side were Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen sitting on their hands, listening to the noisy shouting of the subordinate officials and staff on the other side.

After arguing for nearly an hour and no result came out, Xiao Min became impatient first, "Okay, if you only want to say these things, then you can avoid it." We'll discuss this matter later, so let's break it up today. ”

After everyone dispersed, the two stayed in the study to deal with other things. Xiao Min looked at the recitals presented by the subordinate officials, frowned and puzzled, "Obviously, they also have something to say in the recitals, why are they just talking about one or two Rongde County Jun's affairs today, and they actually talk about him left and right for half a day." ”

Lu Bingzhen, who was sitting in front of the desk and slowly checking the dowry list, turned around and couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Min when he heard the words. The smile was narrow and smart.

Xiao Min was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen A Rui smile like this for a long time. He threw down the fold in his hand, walked to Ah Rui's side, took her into his arms and grinded her sideburns.

"Huh? Okay, you know? Tell Lonely, what are they doing today? After a few days of separation, Xiao Min almost found an opportunity to be intimate with A Rui, and now he just wants to be intimate with her, and he doesn't really plan to ask anything from her.

But seeing Ah Rui blinking, her long eyelashes flickering like butterfly wings, "Of course they know what to do in order to plan the most benefits for the East Palace, but they can already be intimidated by you, the Crown Prince, who is killing and killing, when they can watch me participate in the deliberations."

How could it really be said to my face that there was a deeper entanglement of interests behind this matter? ”

Rui's tone was unhurried, and even a little funny, obviously not caring about it. However, Xiao Min, who was holding her from behind, suddenly changed color, but his tone was still gentle, "It's okay, Lone naturally has a way to make them honest in front of you." ”

"Of course", Ah Rui's smiling expression was full of certainty, she didn't marry into the East Palace from the beginning to trap herself under the walls of the Quartet Palace. If this is the case, why doesn't she marry Wang Jian, the cousin of the Wang family, at least she can still be in charge.

However, there is another problem in front of the ambitious princess, that is, the palace affairs of the East Palace. This is the consequence of her being forced to marry early.

Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess doesn't really know how to deal with palace affairs now. Ah Rui looked at the female officials in the East Palace with a headache, and wanted to escape from what they said.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the East Palace should prepare the gifts for the palaces in advance. Among the inner women, each concubine of different positions must have a different etiquette system, and the concubines of the same position also directly send the same etiquette. Among the foreign women, it is more complicated.

For example, the gifts given to the royal family should not only conform to the corresponding etiquette system, but also show special closeness. For the families of the courtiers and noble families, which one can reward which one should not be rewarded, and which one should use the reward of the festival to confuse people's ears and eyes. Among them, the piles and piles are closely related to the court. Yes, husband and wife are one, working together.

Because after the palace affairs of the East Palace had a headache for an afternoon, Ah Rui decisively asked the female officials of the East Palace to retreat first, while she herself asked Bing and Rongxue to go to the study where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was with a large stack of various gift lists.

Since this matter is closely related to the court, it is better to ask the person who handles government affairs directly.

Xiao Min was a little surprised when he saw A Rui, but he immediately understood A Rui's thoughts.

"Qingyan, you said, I don't have to worry about not being able to get through the affairs of the East Palace. No, these are all palace affairs about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ah Rui's original intention was to let Xiao Min mention her a thing or two, but she didn't expect Xiao Min to take over her palace affairs directly, and ordered the frost to be brushed in an orderly manner.

However, with a stick of incense, Xiao Min had already arranged this matter properly. Facing Ah Rui's shocked and admiring gaze, Xiao Min gently flicked her forehead and smiled, "Ah Rui, let Fu Shuang deal with these things in the future." The lonely princess doesn't need to be entangled in these trivialities. If you are free, why don't you come to the study to accompany the orphan to deal with government affairs, okay? ”

Compared with the palace affairs carved on paper, Ah Rui of course prefers the government affairs of opening and closing, and almost happily agrees to the matter.

The two talked about the fact that His Royal Highness King Yu was grounded in the palace of King Yu. This incident started because of the death of the monarch of Rongde County, but behind it is the forces of His Majesty who are impatient to suppress the East Palace. When the two of them talked about this, they inevitably spoke in heavy tones.

Seeing that the two of them began to talk about government affairs, Father-in-law Fushuang smiled and invited Bing and Rongxue down, "Two girls, you should understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said just now." Let's take care of these things with the old slave. Don't bother Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess because of this little thing. ”

The figures of several people gradually faded away, and only the voices of two people came from the window in the study.

"Rui, what do you think about this?"

"Speaking of which, in the eyes of the courtiers who don't know what's going on, it's always been Qingyan and King Yu who are fighting. But people like you and I in the game understand that it is Your Majesty and you who are really fighting. King Yu is just a target deliberately raised by His Majesty to compete with you.

East Palace and King Yu, no matter which one wins, it is meaningless. Because, His Majesty has a prince, and he will immediately promote the next prince out. ”
