After dressing as a deposed prince's favored concubine verse 139
Her snub is becoming more and more obvious day by day, and the people in the palace have always stepped on the highs and lows. Once she loses favor, the wind will change. As soon as the wind changed, the ridicule and defeat they faced were the most intuitive. Her arrogant capital was suddenly torn off like a garment that did not belong to her, making her condescension and disdain ridiculous and stupid.
Such a huge gap is something that no one can bear, especially those with extremely high self-esteem. Even if Lu Li didn't care about the emperor's favor, he would be forced by this gap to take some action to change his situation.
She knew that the reason for her neglect was to expose the relationship between Qin Liansheng and Ye Huiqiong, and the emperor blamed her for stretching her hand too long, thinking that she had bad intentions in entering the palace. But as long as she is not abolished for a day and let her continue to live in Changle Palace, it proves that her stand-in value as a former queen has not disappeared. That being the case, can only magnify this value. Strive to be the most like, and the best is to make the emperor dizzy.
With this plan in mind, she has now spent a lot of money to search everywhere for everything about the former queen.
However, because of the bad relationship between the emperor and the queen, after the death of the first queen, the emperor ordered that no one should be allowed to mention the first queen. Those who violate the order will be killed. So much so that only the old men of the Hidden Mansion knew about the memories of the former queen.
Lu Li was hesitating whether to ally with Concubine Xian, or rather, to give Concubine Xian a little benefit and get what she wanted from her mouth.
Lu Li of Changle Palace was busy in order to find out the deeds of the first queen, but Wang Ruyi became more and more invisible.
In fact, it is not invisible, but deliberately lowers his presence. Her belly is more than six months old, and if she is lucky, the child has already grown. The further she gets to the back, the more her body needs protection. Ye Huiqiong was beaten into the cold palace, and there was no way to attack her stomach. It doesn't mean that no one else in the palace has malicious intentions.
Wang Ruyi can see it clearly during this period of time. There are not a few ambitious people in this harem, and they all pretend to be indifferent to fame and fortune and look lively, but in fact, who can figure out what they are thinking. Wang Ruyi doesn't know what the court political struggle and the prince's dispute are. She only knew that Concubine De's fifth prince was thirteen years old. The emperor is disgusted with the abolition of the crown prince, and it seems that he will not allow the current prince to ascend to that position, so the opportunity for other princes will come.
Ye Huiqiong and Qin Liansheng teamed up to commit a big taboo, and even the children she came out of were stained. If the emperor chooses the crown prince again, it is very likely that he will be selected from the other four princes.
Among them, Concubine De has the highest ranking, and the five princes she produced are also the most promising.
Hope breeds ambition, and ambition breeds malice. Her belly hasn't been born yet, and it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. But it's the best one to kill.
Wang Ruyi is now guarding against Concubine De, for fear of being secretly harmed by her.
Everyone in the palace has their own thoughts, which seems to be calm, but in fact they are treacherous and changing. And when the palaces were robbing and stealing, the news of Hua's death finally reached the capital. If it had been in the past, her death would not have been worth mentioning. But now Xiao Yanxing's identity has changed, the eldest son of the emperor is young, and the back house cannot be without a housewife. There was a man with bad intentions, so he pleaded with the emperor to give the emperor's eldest son a marriage.
Where does the emperor have the face to marry at this time? He gave Xiao Yanxing a total of two wives, which is not a good thing.
Almost as soon as the recital was played, it was drowned out by the opposition. There are those who have ideas in their hearts, and their tongues are bitter and pointed out the unreliability of the emperor's first two marriages. bluntly said that the emperor was so cold to the eldest son of the emperor, it was too unkind. The emperor's face was hot at the irony.
It's another piece of trouble.
Xiao Yan is in Liangzhou, but the wind has never stopped.
At this time, it was late at night in Liangzhou, and it was rare that Xiao Yanxing was not drowned in a table full of secret letters. Instead, a person carrying a pot of spirits sat quietly in the bamboo forest in the backyard. He was dressed in a bleak white robe and wore clogs barefoot.
At this time, he raised his head to the natural cold moon and poured a large cup on the ground with an expressionless face.
Wang Shu originally ate too much at night, and came to the backyard bamboo forest in a panic. As soon as he entered the forest, he saw Xiao Yanxing standing alone under the moon.
Seeing his movements clearly, Wang Shu suddenly realized that today was the death day of General Han Xiu.
The slender and emaciated figure was stretched slender by the moonlight. His black hair was tied up by a wooden hairpin. obviously can't see the expression clearly, but I can see the loneliness of the cocoon standing alone from the back. Wang Shu suddenly remembered that there didn't seem to be many close people around him. Xiao Yanxing is calm and self-reliant on weekdays, but in fact, he will only be twenty-four years old. Since the age of sixteen, he has been alone in the Northwest.
He must be calm and rational, and he must focus on the big picture.
"Grandfather," Qingyue's voice was like a coolness in the wind, ethereal and difficult to capture, "Shu'er gave birth to a son and a daughter for me. It's a pity that my grandfather didn't hug it with his own hands......"
Wang Shu's heart moved, did not disturb him, and silently withdrew from the bamboo forest.
Chapter 112
On Han Xiu's death day, only Xiao Yanxing worshiped alone, which was also a sad event.
Han Xiu can also be regarded as a general, the Han family has guarded the Daqing border for twenty years, and it stands to reason that it should not be so sad. It's good that the Han family, which was once prominent, is now no one left. The male heir of the Han family died on the battlefield, and the girl died unexpectedly. The great achievements of the war can't keep the family safe. It seems that there is only one girl left, and that girl has been tortured by her husband's family to the point of incompleteness.
Wang Shu inexplicably has a kind of empathetic sadness, which is the sadness of women in this era without family protection.
"Do I have to go?" Wang Shu doesn't know much, and she doesn't know much about this cousin who is said to have been traumatized. Why did Xiao Yan let her meet her? She's strictly a concubine who doesn't deserve to eat at the table, right?
"Let's go meet her." Xiao Yanxing pointed his finger on his daughter's little nose, with a gentle expression, "Maybe you will like her."
Wang Shu: "......" His attitude made her a little flustered, and she didn't look right.
Although muttering, Wang Shu still took the time to go to Xiahe Village for a walk.
She deliberately chose a weather that was not so sunny, and she would be too lazy to go out if it was too sunny. Out of respect for the Han family's 20 years of guarding the border, Wang Shu deliberately brought the two children with him. After the two little ones grow flesh, they don't have the fragile feeling they had when they were born. The little guy's hands are very strong, and sometimes Wang Shu can't pick out anything when he catches something.
The carriage arrived at Xiahe Village slowly, and arrived at the small courtyard of the farmhouse where Han Xiaofeng lived.
In fact, Xiao Yanxing originally took her back with the intention of relocating her to Xiao's house. After all, a weak woman living alone outside is uneasy. However, Han Xiaofeng felt that she was a sister, not a concubine. Living in the backyard of Xiao's house is a bit unusual. Especially Xiao Yanxing's housemother was sick at the time, if she really lived in, it would be even more indecent.
After some deliberation, she would rather live alone in Xiahe Village than get involved in Xiao Yanxing's backyard.
Xiao Yanxing knew her wishes, so he didn't force it. The old man of the Han family, Zhang's mother, was assigned to take care of her daily life. After this period of cultivation, Han Xiaofeng has become much more energetic. The injuries on his body are not yet complete, but they no longer affect his daily life.
When Wang Shu took the child to the door, Han Xiaofeng was sitting on a small wooden bench in the courtyard. When he heard the voice, he immediately got up and came out.
As soon as the door opened, she greeted Wang Shu, who had just gotten off the carriage.
What is strange is that she was amazed by Wang Shu's appearance, and Wang Shu was also amazed by her appearance. In terms of her appearance, Wang Shu is such a glamorous and somewhat inadvertent look, while Han Xiaofeng is a typical Han family appearance. Han Xiaofeng is tall and long, with phoenix eyes and red lips, and a slightly strong sharp aura. In the words of later generations, a typical royal sister looks.
Looking at each other, Han Xiaofeng's gaze fell from Wang Shu's face to the little baby she was holding in her arms. Wang Shu was followed by two nurses, and the nurses were still holding one in their arms.
“…… But, sister-in-law? Han Xiaofeng knew Wang Shu's identity, and he spoke more cautiously.
Wang Shu blinked, to be honest, at first glance, Han Xiaofeng was right about Wang Shu's aesthetics. She nodded: "I'm Wang Shu." ”
Han Xiaofeng also smiled when he heard her say this: "I'm Han Xiaofeng." ”
Wang Shu also laughed.
She turned her head and handed the child into the nurse's arms, and followed Han Xiaofeng into the courtyard. The nurse held the child and hurried to follow.
This small yard is not big, there is a huge banyan tree in the yard, and there is a well under the banyan tree. Three cabins, plus a separate kitchen. There were only three people in the courtyard. Han Xiaofeng added Zhang's mother, and there was another rough mother-in-law.
Han Xiaofeng led Wang Shu into the hall and sat down, and Zhang's mother heard Xin'er running over from the kitchen.
She didn't dare to disturb the masters, so she stretched her neck and peeked into the swaddling clothes of the two children. While looking at it, his eyes were red, and he muttered praise in his mouth: "Ouch, ouch, mother, mother, the two little masters are really good-looking......"
Wang Shu actually had some intentions to make trouble with Xiao Yanxing, and looked up at Han Xiaofeng. Han Xiaofeng took it out of his arms, took out two small golden locks, and gave one to a child: "Little sister-in-law, don't dislike it, a little bit of heart." ”
She was rescued from Gannan and had nothing to lose. Once when he got married, he had ten miles of red makeup, and the dowry was rich. But in the past six years of the Zou family, there is nothing left that has been squandered. These two small gold locks were obtained by her changing her personal jewelry.
"Where, where, it's exquisite." Wang Shu accepted it for the child. She heard Mama Jiang talk about her cousin's life, and guessed that she was financially cramped.
Han Xiaofeng saw that Wang Shu's eyes were not half disgusted, and his heart was relieved.
This time I came to see Han Xiaofeng, which Xiao Yanxing deliberately promoted. Wang Shu can probably understand what he means, that is, this is his only relative in his mother's family. I hope she can get closer to Han Xiaofeng. It stands to reason that this kind of closeness should come from his serious wife's room, but since he has come, Wang Shu did not deliberately show his unwillingness. This Han Xiaofeng is really, Wang Shu likes it at a glance.
Wang Shu is the kind of acquaintance who talks a lot in front of him, and he can't speak in front of people. Han Xiaofeng is also a temperament that doesn't talk much. But the two are not embarrassed, they are quite harmonious. Han Xiaofeng deliberately made a specialty snack early in the morning to entertain Wang Shu.
To be honest, it didn't taste very good, but Wang Shu still ate it all.
The two didn't talk much, but Wang Shu could still feel that Han Xiaofeng still loved her and the two children.
Didn't sit for long, just came over to have a look and get to know each other.
Before leaving, Wang Shu glanced at Han Xiaofeng, who sent her to the door.
This cousin is five years older than Wang Shu, but she is actually only twenty-three years old. For some reason, Wang Shu felt a thick twilight on her. A kind of twilight that seems to have been destroyed by fate and life to the point of exhaustion, and can only live in a muddy nightmare. Wang Shu thought about it, and still asked more: "Does the cousin have any hobbies or pastimes on weekdays?" ”
"Huh?" Han Xiaofeng didn't expect Wang Shu to ask her suddenly, she was stuck for a while, and she couldn't answer.
Han Xiaofeng lowered his head and thought about it carefully, feeling at a loss in his heart. It seems that it is not good not to answer Wang Shu's question. She opened her mouth, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "My sister has passed the age of fun, and there is no pastime......"
"Don't you have a childhood preference?" Wang Shu found that she wanted to ask people this question a lot lately.
Han Xiaofeng blinked his eyes and replied dryly: "When I was growing up in the boudoir, I used to practice martial arts with my brother in the family since childhood. But now his body is in tatters, and he is out of breath after walking a few more steps. I have already let go of this delusion. ”
"Delusional?"
Han Xiaofeng smiled, now her half-dead appearance was nothing as delusion to her.
Seeing Han Xiaofeng's smiling face, Wang Shu asked the nurse to carry the child into the carriage first: "Does the cousin want to make money?" ”
"Huh?" Han Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Wang Shu to ask like this.
Wang Shu said with a smile: "Cousin girl should take care of her body as soon as possible." Once your body is well nourished, you can do anything. Now that you're free, you can do what you like. Anyway, in this northwest, there is Xiao Yanxing, and no one can point fingers at you. Whether it's martial arts again, or stand up and make money to support yourself, whatever you like. ”
Han Xiaofeng was a little stunned and looked at Wang Shu in a daze.
Wang Shu turned around and walked towards the carriage, turned around before getting into the carriage and said, "Anyway, that's how I live." Even if the burden is on your shoulders and you are locked up in the backyard, you will still choose to continue the career you like. I've always lived like this. ”
The curtain of the carriage was lowered suddenly, and it shook violently back and forth. There was a soft 'let' go,' and the carriage moved slowly.
Han Xiaofeng stood at the door for a long time and did not move, watching Wang Shu's carriage go away. It's not that she was inspired, but this is the first time she has met a woman with Wang Shu's character. looks weak and simple, but unexpectedly chic.
"Girl, girl?" Zhang's mother had been standing next to her, and when she saw that she was distracted, she hurriedly pushed her arm.
Han Xiaofeng smiled and muttered, "No wonder my cousin likes her......"
Wang Shu didn't think about Han Xiaofeng's attitude towards her, and she only said a little more emotionally. It is indeed Han Xiaofeng who is right for her aesthetics. But this cousin of the Han family looked too depressed and had a feeling of depression. There is no talk of depression in this era, but Wang Shu can feel the thick depression in her, as if there is no hope of living.
Xiao Yanxing once said that Han Xiaofeng's injuries were very serious. On the outside, I can't tell where the injury is. But it can make Xiao Yanxing so angry, and order someone to deal a heavy hand on the pregnant weak woman, and it is estimated that the wound is very humiliating.
In this era, Wang Shu dared not think that a woman's injuries could be humiliated.
"Alas, Xiao Yanxing's scheming," Wang Shu sighed and pinched her daughter's little face, "Your father's big scheming man......"
Originally, I just followed Xiao Yanxing's arrangement to see Han Xiaofeng once, which was half a task. Later, Wang Shu would go to see her when she had time, and occasionally talk to her about her work in the field.
Wang Shu had nothing to say, but who knew that Han Xiaofeng still knew a little about agriculture. I can understand it.
"I used to raise bluegrass for a while." Han Xiaofeng smiled faintly, "If you don't raise it well, you can only pass the time." I have also learned some fur, and I dare not say that I know more. ”
Wang Shu was stunned, although it was not a difficult thing to make fertilizer. But those who understand always have a more success rate than those who don't.
Since Wang Shu took over the family's ancestral business, the work in the fields has naturally become an important project for her. Although the tenants have their own set of planting methods, Wang Shu has already improved them, so she has slowly extended nitrogen fertilizer to farming. Last year was the first year that nitrogen fertilizer was used in the fields under the name of the Wang family, and this year it is natural to continue to use fertilizer more scientifically.
The problem now is that only Wang Shu knows how to make fertilizer, and everyone else just does what she tells her to do. Wang Shu's energy alone is limited, and it is impossible for her to take care of everything in a meticulous manner.
"If the cousin girl is free, she can help guide the people below to make fertilizer." Wang Shu joked, "I'm worried that no one knows how to make fertilizer." ”
Wang Shu was joking, but she didn't feel at ease after speaking. Han Xiaofeng took this matter to heart. After Wang Shu left that day, she had never taken the initiative to contact Xiao Yanxing, and for the first time, she asked Zhang's mother to help her find Xiao Yanxing's people to find a few fat books.
She had applied fertilizer and knew that different plants used different fertilizers. This fertilizer is actually very particular. If used well, the planted flowers and plants can grow to their best. If you don't use it well, it's just burning the roots. This is the case with some fine bluegrass, which is very careful with fertilizer. Han Xiaofeng wasn't sure if she had the intention of pleasing her cousin, but since Wang Shu had mentioned it, she would go and see it.
The relationship between Wang Shu and Han Xiaofeng became inexplicably close, so let's not mention it at this time.
Let's just say that in mid-June, in the hot weather, the carriage of the Sui family arrived at Lin'an County slowly.
This time, it was the girl of the Sui family who came to the northwest in person.
A girl who has not left the cabinet has traveled thousands of miles to the north, and she naturally has to be cautious on the road. In order not to attract too much attention and to ensure the safety of the girl's family, this team was accompanied by many strong guards. Almost as soon as the convoy entered Liangzhou Mansion, it attracted the attention of all parties. However, before the Sui family left, they greeted Xiao Yanxing in advance. The Sui family's carriage procession came in unimpeded.
On the day he arrived in Lin'an County, Sui Nuanzhi was not in a hurry to send news to Xiao Zhai. Instead, he first went to the Zhuangzi that the Sui family had set up a month ago to settle down. Then he ordered someone to go around the county town and inquire about the news.
Xiao Yanxing has always been very quiet in Lin'an County, except for the county magistrate and the head of the Wen family who know his identity, no one knows.
Sui Nuanzhi could naturally hear very little news. The most prominent thing is that it is suspected that Longyang is good, and it lives in the temple all year round. However, even with this sporadic information, she almost deduced Xiao Yanxing's temperament. Cold, lacking desire, not having much interest in women but disdainful of bullying women. In terms of temperament, you can talk about a gentleman, but being a husband can be said to be a type of hard work for women.
