29 029 Mutual non-concessions
Lu Zhao didn't delay any longer, and whistled directly, and in an instant, the wolves who were howling at Concubine Li immediately closed their mouths and ran towards him with a twist.
When Concubine Li saw that the wolves were gone, her waist suddenly straightened up.
She smiled contemptuously at Chen Xueying: "Your wolf beasts are all gone, look how arrogant you are!" ”
"You are still stunned, hurry over and catch her. The crown princess rammed the fetus in the concubine's womb and threw her out of the palace. Concubine Li gained power and became even more arrogant.
However, before the palace people rushed over, they saw Lu Zhao leading the wolf over again.
"Prince, what do you mean by this?" Concubine Li squinted her eyes, and she was strong and authentic.
"Concubine Li, it's time for you to go back to the palace." Lu Zhao didn't answer, just coldly asked her to leave.
Concubine Li naturally would not give in, the prince of Northern Qi was notorious, she was originally afraid, but since she entered the palace to serve Lu Wuji, she also knew the way the father and son got along.
No matter how powerful the prince is, she can't escape from the palm of the emperor's hand, she is now pregnant with the emperor's heir, even with the gold medal of avoiding death, if the prince doesn't want to get the reputation of murdering his brother, he has to retreat.
Moreover, she decided in her heart that the prince was more reasonable than Chen Xueying, a crazy woman, and she didn't have to be afraid.
"Prince, you came just in time, take care of your crown princess. She is about to climb on my head, plotting to murder the emperor's heir, and the crime will be added to the first degree. ”
Lu Zhao's brows furrowed, obviously a little impatient.
He was already very impatient, and Concubine Li was still here to fight with him.
"Concubine Li, Lone has already heard that the crown princess is having a good time with the wolves here, you have recently said that you are sick and want to recuperate, but when you heard that she is here, you want to rush over. Lone feels that you are asking for your own hardship. The man's voice was a little deeper, already tinged with a warning.
It's a pity that Li Concubine couldn't hear the voiceover at all, and was completely unscrupulous, just clamoring to throw Chen Xueying out.
"Send Concubine Li back to the palace." Lu Zhao didn't listen anymore, but spoke coldly, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
The palace people of the East Palace immediately stepped forward and approached directly.
"Concubine Li, please do it, lest a few minions do it, it won't look good."
Concubine Li was stunned, and said in disbelief: "You dare to force this concubine to go?" I'm not leaving, this is the Imperial Garden, anyone can come, why should I not be her who is leaving! Obviously, she walked around with the wolves, which frightened everyone in the harem, and you, as the prince, not only didn't teach her, but also came to suppress me! This concubine will not leave! ”
Her shouts grew sharper and sharper, until they eventually turned into hysteria and complete madness.
Several Donggong palace people glanced at each other, and finally lost patience, and stepped forward to force her to leave.
It is impossible for them to disobey the prince's orders, even if they are facing the emperor's favorite concubine at the moment.
Concubine Li was in a state of emotion, completely unable to think rationally.
It was the big palace maid beside her who saw the prince's attitude, and immediately persuaded in a low voice: "Niangniang, let's go back to the palace first." ”
"This concubine is not leaving, I am the emperor's woman, Chen Xueying is just the prince's woman, and you still want me to let her? Isn't the emperor as good as the crown prince? Concubine Li asked sharply.
Even if she was angry and attacking, she also found the right point of attack, and Lu Wuji was the most taboo son who was stronger than him.
The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned white, and she knew that she couldn't say this.
Even if there is some truth, but the relationship between the father and son of the heavenly family should not be said by a concubine, this is completely provocative.
"Niangniang, we don't let the princess, it's really those wolves and beasts who don't understand personnel, they are really uncontrollable, they are rubble, you are pregnant with the dragon seed but porcelain, we can't touch the rubble with porcelain, it is we who suffer." A few of you, quickly help the mother back to the palace. ”
The palace maid persuaded a few words, and seeing that she couldn't bend over, she immediately beckoned the palace people next to her, set up Concubine Li, and left quickly.
Chen Xueying saw that she was taken away, and she also shouted: "What are you leaving, aren't you going to throw the palace out?" I'll stand here well, but you were driven away first, and the next time you enlarge your words, weigh yourself a few pounds and a few taels, so as not to make a lot of nonsense and make jokes in vain! ”
Obviously, she was unforgiving and beat the water dogs, which was vividly interpreted.
Concubine Li was so angry that she screamed, and she wanted to turn around and come back several times to continue to fight hard, but with Lu Zhao here, the palace people around her didn't dare to provoke the prince, so they still forced her to leave.
It wasn't until Concubine Li and her party left completely that Chen Xueying pursed her lips with a disdainful expression on her face.
"What a bargain for her! I'm mad at me! ”
Lu Zhao walked over with a cold face, with low air pressure all over his body, and sat directly in the sedan chair and rode with her.
"Get up in the sedan car and go back to the East Palace."
Obviously, he has been suppressing his anger, and Chen Xueying also turned his back to him, not speaking at all, obviously wanting to have a cold war, and some words are not easy to say in the Imperial Garden, so as not to be complicated.
It wasn't until he returned to the East Palace and entered the inner hall that Lu Zhao spoke coldly.
"Chen Xueying, do you think you've lived too long? Do you have to make such a big commotion? ”
"This palace is alive and well, do you blame me for making such a big move? It's you who want to drive me away, Bengong felt bored, so he went to play with the wolves, and he didn't delay your review of the folds, and he had to blame Bengong at this time, how could you say it? Chen Xueying glanced at him and sneered.
Lu Zhao's anger surged upwards and started again.
She co-authored her, which meant that he was to blame.
"You go find the wolves, no problem, but why lead them around the palace? You are from the Great Yan royal family, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, and you grew up learning the rules since you were a child, don't you know that the palace is not allowed to turn around? What's more, you still have these fierce beasts with you? ”
"Fierce beast, what fierce beast? The wolves in this palace are obviously obedient and obedient, and they are very pleasing. Who are they murdering? Chen Xueying pretended to be puzzled.
"Don't play dumb. Concubine Li is pregnant with a dragon heir, although the emperor does not lack sons, it does not mean that he can tolerate the woman you bully him. Lu Zhao debunked her words.
Chen Xueying's face immediately turned cold, "Can I be blamed for this?" It was obvious that she deliberately bumped into her, just to show weakness to her. At the beginning of Dayan, none of the concubines of Emperor Dayan dared to touch the moldy head of the palace. Why don't you blame the emperor for not taking care of his women? ”
Lu Zhao was choked by her, and was silent for a moment before saying, "You also know that this is not the Great Yan Palace, so you have to follow the rules of Northern Qi." ”
Chen Xueying sneered, and immediately-for-tat: "Heh, they all laugh at Emperor Dayan for being a coward, but he can let the palace walk sideways in the palace." You, the prince of Northern Qi, are notorious, but it's a pity that since the palace has followed you, it has not been a good day, and when you meet someone who comes to find fault, you have to nod and admit your mistakes. ”
Lu Zhao pinched his brows, his head began to hurt again, like a pinprick in a needle.
"It's such a coincidence, it's rare for Gu to feel the same way as the crown princess. Since getting married, Lonely has not had a good day. He immediately fought back.
Who has loved and who has passed in this day!
"It's a pity, this palace is here to make peace, for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, you can't even make peace, unless you achieve a small goal, first become the emperor of Northern Qi, but you can't achieve it, it's just that the palace suffers, and I want to continue to follow you to be wronged."
Chen Xueying looked at him, looking like she hated iron but not steel.
Lu Zhao gritted his teeth, he wanted to beat someone, but he didn't know who to beat.
Because Chen Xueying couldn't withstand his punch at all, if he was beaten to death, he would really have to be spurned by thousands of people.
It is estimated that the people of the world will spread all over the world, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spied on the rich dowry of the crown princess and grinded his life to death.
Obviously, when he first met him on the edge of the cliff, he was able to kill the killer without any scruples, but now he has completely died down.
As soon as Chen Xueying looked up, she saw that his eyes were red and his fists were clenched.
"What's the matter, your fists are so tight, do you want to pound the wall, or do you want to pinch the tea cup again? Come on, come on, this teacup belongs to your East Palace, pinch it casually, it doesn't matter if one set is all crushed, this palace applauds you. She stretched out her hand and pushed the teacup in front of her, and the words she said could still make people angry.
Lu Zhao looked up at her, and the air pressure was low.
Chen Xueying glared back fearlessly, hey, although she came to make peace, she was also white and rich at all, and Lu Zhao, as the prince of Northern Qi, had no force but not too much gold and silver, he had been suppressed by Lu Wuji for so many years, so he naturally wanted to rebel.
Rebellion requires money, and now there is a super-rich princess who has become his creditor, so naturally he can't be killed with one punch, otherwise the money will be gone in the future.
She and Lu Zhao are obviously not Bai Fumei and Phoenix male combination, but she is trying to lean up, she doesn't want to become his vassal completely.
The man got up, walked up to her, leaned closer, and reached out to pinch her chin.
"Do what?"
Chen Xueying twisted her brows, the man who approached suddenly, the aura around her was too strong, and her aura was all around her in an instant, which made her faintly uneasy, but she didn't show it.
The men of the Lu family have beast-like intuition, and whenever she retreats, she will be noticed.
"The crown princess relied on her delicate body and weak body, and she could hammer you to death with a single punch, so she didn't dare to do it. And you have something to rely on, and you want to go to heaven more and more. He narrowed his eyes, his voice lowered.
Chen Xueying chuckled, with a bit of provocation in her eyes, as if to say, "This is the case, what can you do?" There is no fear.
The man's thumb slid up and landed from her chin to her lip flap, and with a gentle force, he scraped from the middle of the lip flap to her chin.
"What are you doing?" She furrowed her eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.
The man's fingers were very hot, and they slid all the way down her face, bringing a subtle touch, and with the action of touching her lips, it looked very ambiguous.
However, there was no ambiguity in his eyes, and there was even a bit of banter, as if he had seen some interesting scene.
She sensed something was wrong, grabbed his wrist, and tried to push him away.
But Lu Zhao has a lot more strength than her, and if he doesn't want to leave, no one can push him.
"Painting alone."
He finally relented, looked at her for a moment, and replied.
Chen Xueying immediately understood what he meant, and suddenly felt that the five thunders were thundering, and she immediately took out the bronze mirror she carried with her to check it.
saw that the original delicate makeup was already broken, and all the red lipstick was wiped out by him, and it was printed on the fair face, like a female ghost, making it red everywhere.
"Lu Zhao, you're done!" She jerked up to him and reached out to pinch him.
When the two were "making moves", Li De's slightly urgent voice came from outside.
"Prince, princess, news came from Caixia Palace, Concubine Li was frightened, and she was very angry, and now she has started to give birth. The doctors rushed over, saying that it was going to be difficult to give birth. ”
"How many months is Concubine Li?" Chen Xueying asked.
"Eight months. It is rumored that the palace is alive and not alive, and the servants have ordered people to be silenced. Li De replied.
She couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows, women's production is like passing through a ghost gate, modern medicine is so developed, production is a difficult time, let alone ancient times.
If Concubine Li really gave birth prematurely because she was angry with her, her heart would definitely be uneasy.
"I avoided it before I knew it." She couldn't help but mutter.
"Do you know you're scared now?" Lu Zhao looked sideways.
"It's not that I'm afraid, but there's no need to make two lives for the sake of a momentary dispute."
Lu Zhao saw that her face was not good, and her expression was a little dazed, obviously she cared in her heart.
Obviously, he used a dagger against her neck before, but she didn't show such a look, but now she was frightened by Concubine Li's birth.
"Concubine Li is the eldest daughter of General Chang Sheng, she has been favored since she was a child, and she will not change her temper when she arrives in the palace. Most of the people in the harem avoided her because of her family background, and she didn't know how to restrain herself. You are the only one other than the emperor who makes her deflated, and if you let her be humiliated, she will definitely not let you feel better. ”
It was rare for Lu Zhao to say such a long sentence, and he also explained the cultivation of Concubine Li's character, which was obviously to appease her.
"You mean she's angry with me about the child? Impossible, right? She was shocked.
"Lone didn't say anything, and someone has to check it. Li De, let the people of Caixia Palace move, and you must know the answer as soon as possible. Lu Zhao waved his hand and gave an order.
"Yes, the minion will go." Li De bowed and retired.
Chen Xueying sat down on the chair, and the whole person was in a bad mood, obviously uneasy.
Lu Zhao stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder, she waved his hand away, and couldn't help but pout: "This palace is not in the mood at the moment, His Royal Highness the Prince, you go and review the folds, this palace has to be closed." ”
The man was amused by her words, and reached out and tapped the corner of her lips: "Lone is to remind you that makeup is still flowers." ”
Chen Xueying reacted immediately and immediately asked someone to freshen up for her.
Li De's speed was very fast, and he talked back and forth in half an hour.
"The slave asked clearly, after Concubine Li's mother returned to the palace, she sent everyone away, leaving only the personal palace maid in the dormitory, and then called out, everyone rushed in, and found that she was lying on the ground, and her body was covered with blood, not like she was so angry that she suddenly started." He explained the situation carefully.
Chen Xueying and Lu Zhao glanced at each other, and they already had a judgment in their hearts.
"Let's go down."
Chen Xueying breathed a sigh of relief, "If she was really angry with the palace to give birth prematurely, it would only make more people stay as witnesses, and now that everyone has been dismissed, only the personal palace maid is left, who knows what happened to her in the dormitory at that time." ”
Although there is no direct evidence for the news that Li De inquired, just listening to those few words of the report was enough for her to be sure that she was not angry, let alone frightened.
Like this kind of personal palace maid, they have all grown up with them since childhood, and the lives of the family are in the hands of Li Concubine, and it is difficult to betray.
That being said, Chen Xueying stayed in the palace and waited for the news, until she heard that Concubine Li gave birth to a little prince and that the mother and son were safe, and she was completely relieved.
"Thanks to her good life, she really gave birth to a prince, and it is estimated that she will continue to be favored, and this palace will not bow her head to make amends, right?"
Chen Xueying only worries about her own affairs at this time, this kind of atmosphere in Northern Qi doesn't take women in her eyes at all, she hasn't seen a princess since she entered the palace, and her ears are full of princes and princes.
Concubine Li was already favored, and she has a son, so I'm afraid that her favor will go to the next level.
At that time, Concubine Li's arrogance will only become more arrogant, and Chen Xueying will have to make an appearance if she doesn't want to bow her head.
Instead, Lu Zhao sneered: "Good life? The woman who gave birth to the Emperor of Northern Qi did not have a good life. ”
Chen Xueying remembered that the Lu family had been raised into perverts one by one, and immediately reacted.
There are many rules of the Northern Qi royal family, which cannot be measured by common sense.
"It's getting late, send you out of the palace alone, so as not to be able to leave later." He looked out the window and whispered.
Chen Xueying nodded subconsciously and couldn't help but tease softly: "You actually want to send me?" ”
Lu Zhao raised his eyebrows: "If you don't like it, you won't send it." ”
"Who said that I don't like it, this palace is so happy that I can't do it, and I will send it next time." She said immediately.
The two got on the sedan chair one after the other, he whistled, and the wolves lying in the yard instantly stood up one after another and followed directly behind the sedan chair.
"Let them be sent to Hongu together? The pomp and circumstance are big enough. She blinked, and began to touch the box to feed the jerky again.
Lu Zhao didn't speak, and went all the way to the palace gate, watching her get into the carriage.
"Go back and see you tomorrow." Chen Xueying waved at him.
"Don't enter the palace if you have nothing to do in the past few days, the wolves will also follow you to the princess's mansion, pay attention to safety." He looked at her and whispered.
Chen Xueying was slightly stunned, his words were not long, but they were just a simple sentence, and her tone was not very gentle, even as indifferent as usual, but she heard a little gentleness.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you concerned about me?" She chuckled.
The man lowered his eyelids and whistled at the wolves around him, as if giving them an order, before replying coldly: "Lone is afraid that you will die, and there will be no one to help, and you will not be able to achieve your small goal." ”
He pulled down the curtain and straightened it out, refusing to communicate with her again.
The man reached out and patted the horse's buttocks, watching as the wolves hugged the carriage and left.
At this moment, a little eunuch ran over in a few steps, and it was the palace man who was waiting in the Longqian Palace.
"Have you seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has the Crown Princess already left? The emperor summoned her for questioning. The little eunuch hurriedly saluted, then craned his neck to look, and immediately wanted someone to chase him.
"No, the palace is about to give the key, I'm afraid it's too late. Alone to see his father. He stopped it directly.
The little eunuch wanted to say something, but he interrupted: "If the father is held accountable, he will bear it alone." ”
Lu Zhao quickly rushed to the Longqian Palace, and Lu Wuji had already listened to the little eunuch's report, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.
"I don't see it, you're a woman who hurts. What's the matter, I'm afraid that I will treat my daughter-in-law harshly? Lu Wuji spoke.
Although there was ridicule in his words, the tone was extremely cold, obviously sarcastic about him.
"The father forgives the sin, and the son does not have this idea, but today's matter of Li Concubine is handled by the son. Let Concubine Li leave first, it is also an order from Erchen, if Erchen lets a woman stand in front of him, it is really inappropriate and loses his identity. Please also punish you. Lu Zhao directly took it, he lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground.
There was silence in the hall, and I watched him kneel for a long time before he spoke again.
"The dispute between women, I didn't want to care, but Concubine Li's mother has already entered the palace, although Zhong Hai is not in Jicheng, but presumably this matter will soon reach his ears, and I want to give him an explanation. The crown princess will come to the palace tomorrow to make amends to Concubine Li. ”
Lu Wuji's tone was cold, and there was no room for turning around.
Concubine Li just gave birth to a prince, but Lu Wuji didn't say a word, and he hasn't seen their mother and son so far, saying that he is being held responsible, but it is only for the sake of her father Zhong Hai.
"Father, it was Erchen who let Concubine Li leave and let the palace people carry it out, she was frightened and gave birth prematurely, and it should be up to Erchen to go-" Lu Zhao was silent for a moment, but still spoke, and the reason given was still the same as before.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Wuji.
"Since when I have spoken to you, I need to say it a second time."
Lu Zhao instantly shut up, and could only whisper again: "Father and Emperor forgive sins." ”
After Chen Xueying returned to the princess's mansion, she specially asked the small kitchen to make a pot of meat without salt and feed the wolves.
"Little boys, I have poured out my heart and lungs to you, you have to remember who is the wolf king, don't always listen to Lu Zhao's coffin-faced words, follow me to eat fragrant and drink spicy, follow him to be hungry for nine meals in three days, there is no hope at all......"
She sat beside them, and when she saw them devouring them, she couldn't help touching the heads of the wolves one by one, and poured them into their ears as if they were chanting a spell.
"Princess, someone from the palace has arrived." Hua Rong walked over and whispered.
Chen Xueying was slightly stunned, and immediately asked people to invite them in.
"Crown princess, the slave is the little Dongzi who is waiting in the Longqian Palace, and I have come to pass on the emperor's message, so that you can go to Caixia Palace early tomorrow morning to say goodbye."
"This palace knows, reward." She waved her hand.
Hua Rong immediately led Xiao Dongzi out, and took out a handsome purse from his sleeve and stuffed it for him.
"Father-in-law, Concubine Li has just given birth to the little prince, she must have a good rest, is it too early to pass this morning?" Rong asked.
Xiao Dongzi pinched the purse, feeling that the weight was not light, obviously there was a lot of silver in it, and he immediately smiled.
The crown princess is really as generous as rumored, and even her girls are so generous.
"This girl, our family won't hide it from you. Concubine Li does need to rest, but the crown princess must go early, otherwise how to please the mother. I went early, Fang showed sincerity, but I guessed that I would have to wait a little longer. ”
For the sake of the silver, he didn't go around in circles when he spoke, and pointed it out directly.
Concubine Li obviously wanted her to go early, stand outside, and maybe let her in.
Maybe let her eat the closed-door soup directly tomorrow, and it is best to let the palace people see that the crown princess is standing outside to eat and hang.
In this way, Concubine Li got her face back, and after she was discouraged, this article could be turned over.
Hua Rong politely sent people away, and after she went back, she hugged Chen Xueying.
"Master, this is a greeting for peace, but it is clearly a plea for sin. also asked the palace people of Longqian Palace to pass it on, and asked the emperor to give an order in disguise, who would dare not go? Hua Rong understood very well, and explained the twists and turns here clearly in a few words.
"It's not a disguised order from the emperor, but it was originally an order from the emperor of Northern Qi. Concubine Li didn't have the ability to do this, so she asked the emperor to help with things. Chen Xueying corrected her.
"Huh? But master, didn't you already send the wolf sculpture? After that, he will shape a big golden body, and he has accepted it before! Hua Lu was puzzled and subconsciously asked.
Chen Xueying was suddenly made to cry and laugh by her words, and raised her hand and nodded her forehead: "Silly girl, what are you talking about!" No matter how much gold and silver there is, it can't compare to the victorious general behind Concubine Li. Besides, whoever said that if you accept it, you will definitely do it. How many people just take money and don't do anything, don't you forget how the Northern Qi Dynasty made its fortune? ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xueying couldn't help but pout.
The father and son who are in the same lineage, Lu Wuji's credibility is far worse than Lu Zhao.
Ye Jing didn't speak until she was about to rest in the evening, when she saw that there was only a chance for the two of them to be alone.
"Will Concubine Li be a little impulsive about this matter today? She has one in her stomach, and she has no fear, we can't afford to hide, and we don't have to be tough and tough. Ye Jing couldn't help but whisper a few words.
Chen Xueying's operation is quite extreme every time, she is simply hovering on the edge of overturning, and Ye Jing is frightened every time, but fortunately, Lu Zhao eats her set.
But Concubine Li obviously didn't eat it, and this time she kicked the iron plate, and she was going to be deflated.
Chen Xueying waved her hand: "Concubine Li and I are not right by nature, the first time we met, we didn't like each other, this time it was obvious that she came to find fault, even if I avoided it, she would attack in the future, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves." ”
"As for meeting her tomorrow, it is impossible to eat behind closed doors. Don't forget my code of conduct, I'm not happy, and no one should think about it. Now that she has a child, she has a weakness, and she is not afraid of things, and I am even more afraid of being sick and crazy. ”
She tugged at the corners of her mouth as she spoke, smiling, her eyes flashing with excitement.
Ye Jing stared, subconsciously took two steps back, and waved her hand again and again.
"Don't smile at me, I'm afraid. It's a big night, it's weird, you're normal! Ye Jing said the back, and her voice began to tremble.
Damn, when a madman gets sick, some angles are similar to female ghosts.
Think about it, even a character like the prince of Northern Qi was tossed by Chen Xueying repeatedly to admit defeat and scolded her for being sick.
Concubine Li dared to provoke her, she really lacked a string in her brain.
Chen Xueying was amused by her, and no longer deliberately showed a sinister smile, and returned to normal.
"Don't worry too much about you. Lu Wuji doesn't want to kill me at all, as long as he doesn't die, he will do it to death. Who knows how many days this ghost will live, once he kills me, even if I am a man with my tail between my legs every day, it is useless, it is better to take advantage of the wine in the present day, and hurry up to death to get drunk. She whispered reassuringly.
Although the tone was extremely gentle, the words that came out were simply shocking, and scared Ye Jing enough.
Ye Jing couldn't help but shake her shoulder: "Listen to your head, is there the sound of water?" Hurry up and pour it down. ”
Chen Xueying grabbed her wrist: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you." I know in my heart that if you really accidentally get a karma, I'll have a way back for you. ”
Ye Jing was not only not comforted, but also startled by her.
After Chen Xueying's repeated assurances, she was able to uncover this stubble.
In the early morning, Chen Xueying was woken up by Hua Rong very early, and the whole person was in a daze, and she was still a little angry to get up.
It wasn't until she walked into the palace gate, changed from a carriage to a sedan chair, and the cold morning breeze blew, that she sobered up a little.
The sedan chair was lifted and swayed towards Caixia Palace.
It's just that halfway through it, she was cut off by a grandmother, who looked a little old, with gray hair, and obviously had a lot of status, and several palace people knew her, and she also saluted.
"Mama Wei."
"The old man's surname is Wei, and she is the head of Fengzao Palace, and the queen mother heard that the crown princess asked to see her several times, but she has been unwell and has not been able to meet her, and she is also worried about it. As soon as there is an improvement in the past two days, let the old slave pick you up. Mama Wei bent her knees at her, and said quite politely.
Chen Xueying was slightly stunned, and immediately got out of the sedan chair to personally support her.
Although she is crazy and crazy, she is not an unreasonable person, and others respect her for a foot, so she naturally wants to return a foot to others.
Mama Wei was so polite, she explained the causes and consequences clearly, and gave the princess enough face.
What's more, she still picked today, on the day she was going to be punished by Concubine Li, the queen asked Mama Wei to cut off her beard, which clearly meant to support her.
It's the equivalent of sending charcoal in the snow.
"Crown Princess, you sit, you don't need to get out of the sedan chair. I'm going to have breakfast with you! Mama Wei saw her movements, took a few quick steps, and held her down directly.
"Mama is polite, it's just that the father-in-law of Longqian Palace yesterday specially passed on the word of mouth, so that the palace can feel Caixia Palace as soon as possible this morning."
Mama Wei waved her hand: "It's okay, Niangniang has already told the emperor, you can go directly to Fengzao Palace, please rest assured, princess." ”
Chen Xueying was really shocked this time, good guy, the queen turned out to have such a lot of energy, so that Lu Wuji, an old pervert, took back his life.
As soon as she walked into Fengzao Palace, she smelled a strong smell of medicine, obviously the queen was seriously ill, not an excuse, but something that happened.
The queen sat on a cushion, it was autumn, she was already dressed in thick clothes, and she still held the stove in her hand.
She had a sickly face, she was in an extremely bad state, the wrinkles on her face were very obvious, her hair was half a hundred, and she looked even older than Lu Wuji.
It's just that the queen has a good temperament, and it will not make people pay attention to her aging, but will sigh that when the beauty has wrinkles, it adds a bit of indifference to the years.
Maybe it was in front of the bed for a long time, she looked very calm, and there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows and eyes, which was pitiful.
"Xue Ying is here." She coughed softly and called her name softly.
Chen Xueying immediately saluted, but was supported by Mama Wei.
"Sit down, when you come to me, feel at ease, no need to salute." As soon as she waved her hand, a palace maid immediately handed over a cushion and helped Chen Xueying sit down.
The temperature in the hall is obviously higher than outside, and it will not be overheated, and there is a soft touch under her body, and the whole person can't help but relax, and she even wants to sleep back.
"The daughter-in-law arrived in Northern Qi, and now she can ask the queen mother for peace, she is terrified in her heart, and she asks the queen mother to forgive her daughter-in-law." She showed the etiquette very well.
This is also the most polite time after her crossing.
The queen sneered: "You kid, you used to be very casual, why did you come to me, but you became restrained." Zhao'er is my own son, and it makes me a little sad that you are so angry. ”
Chen Xueying heard her sincerely, so she simply stopped being reserved, and immediately smiled.
"Let the queen mother laugh, I see that you are kind, and I can't help but want to sell a good job and leave a good impression. There are few people in this palace who really like me, and if you get tired of me because of your rudeness, then it is useless to regret it. ”
When she wants to speak obediently, she can naturally speak to people's hearts.
After hearing this, the queen's smile became more and more kind.
"You're wrong, you're already likable, how can no one like you? At least Zhao'er and I like you. She said softly.
Chen Xueying was stunned for a moment, and at first thought she was ridiculing, but later saw that the queen's tone was sincere, obviously she really thought so, and couldn't help laughing.
"Queen Mother, I don't dare to admit what you say, don't mention whether Lu Zhao likes me or not. As far as the fourth prince is concerned, he definitely hates me, I forced him to drink medicine, he gritted his teeth when he saw me, and scolded me for being a poisonous woman last time! ”
The smile on the queen's face was stunned, and she immediately asked, "Xiao Si'er can speak?" ”
Chen Xueying shook her head: "No, he was just forced to say these two words, and I don't know who taught them, but the words are correct and round, and they are quite standard." ”
The queen's brows frowned slightly, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xue Ying, did you tell the others about Xiao Si'er's talk?" ”
"I only mentioned it to Lu Zhao, and I never said the rest."
"That's good, that's good, don't say anything about anyone except Zhao'er. Xiao Si'er can't speak yet. The queen breathed a sigh of relief, she said two "That's good" in a row, her tone was full of happiness, and it was clear that there was something else hidden.
"Zhao'er and Xiao Si'er are brothers of the same mother, and you, as the eldest sister-in-law, take care of him a little more, and the queen mother is very grateful to you. It's just that Xiao Si'er has an awkward temperament and will behave a little too aggressively, don't mind, if it's okay, it's good to talk to him more. ”
The queen didn't explain again, but just turned the topic back to the four princes.
Chen Xueying couldn't help but chuckle: "Queen Mother, I went to the Wolf Palace, the fourth brother only got angry, he was not happy at all, and he didn't feel that I was taking care of him." ”
She was embarrassed to say it, but in fact, she didn't mean to take care of him.
"That's also good, as long as you go to accompany him, whether it's annoying him or making him happy, joy, anger and sorrow are emotions, it's better than him getting tired of being in the wolves all day long, he can't hear a word from anyone, only the wolf howls well." The queen waved her hand, did not dwell on these, and still insisted.
These few words made Chen Xueying bitter.
What kind of hellish life are the princes of the Lu family, as a mother, they have such low requirements for their children's playmates.
Before Chen Xueying could speak, she heard the queen cough violently, and her originally pale face also showed a bit of a sickly flush.
Immediately, a palace maid stepped forward to calm her breath, and when she was panting, she fed her a sip of water.
"Niangniang, you are not in good health, I'm afraid you are tired today."
Mama Wei reminded that Chen Xueying was about to leave immediately, but was stopped by the queen with a wave of her hand.
"Hongu still has something to say. Xue Ying, I have heard about the conflict between you and Concubine Li. The emperor originally wanted you to apologize and admit your mistake for the sake of Concubine Shunli's anger, but was stopped by the palace. He also promised me that this matter would be turned over, and he would not embarrass you, and Concubine Li didn't need you to appease him. ”
"Don't be afraid of Concubine Li, General Changsheng is a person who knows etiquette, otherwise he won't be able to climb to this position. In the future, if she is still summoned to embarrassment, you just can't shirk it, and push it on this palace, she is not your serious mother-in-law, and she doesn't dare to provoke me. ”
The queen whispered, obviously reassuring her heart.
When Chen Xueying heard that the queen mother helped her settle down, her heart suddenly swelled with a little emotion, this was really the only good person she met after entering the palace, and he was still a person who took the initiative to help her.
"Zhao'er and Xiao Si'er were both born in this palace, they are compatriots of the same mother, and they should have supported each other. But this palace is a place of cannibalism, and they must oppose each other. I don't ask them to reconcile, I just ask you to take care of Xiao Si'er, he is a poor child-cough-cough-cough-cough......"
At this point, she began to cough violently again, and it was uninterrupted, as if there was no end, and it was heart-wrenching to hear.
Mama Wei immediately rushed over, opened a box of incense and put it in front of the queen, the incense there was obviously fresh and smooth, and sure enough, she stopped coughing soon.
"Niangniang, when the princess enters the palace, it is estimated that His Royal Highness is also worried, and it is time to go down to the court at this time, let them reunite and talk." Mama Wei advised.
Sure enough, as soon as the queen heard this, she immediately waved her hand and let Chen Xueying leave.
"Yes, Xue Ying, go back quickly. This palace will not keep you. ”
Leaving the warm Fengzao Palace, a cold wind blew in her face, blowing her shivering.
Looking at the bare branches and the fallen leaves that had gradually withered, Chen Xueying remembered the queen's words, this palace is a place to eat people, and her heart became heavy.
"Crown Princess, are you going to the East Palace?" Erxi asked.
"No, let's go to the Wolf Palace." Chen Xueying shook her head, thinking of the queen's entrustment, she rarely relented.
The queen helped her once, and the gifts were exchanged, and she should also return it once, and be a confidant sister to the four princes.
Today's wolf hall is much quieter than in the past, when she walked in, no one passed on, and the palace people guarding the door saw that it was her, and directly saluted and welcomed her into the hall.
The wolves that howled at her all day were gone.
The eunuchs of the Tai Hospital were already waiting, and the decoction was still steaming, and it was placed in the tray.
"I didn't drink the medicine in advance today?" Chen Xueying raised her eyebrows and asked softly.
The fourth prince lay on the bed and did not answer, not knowing whether he accepted his fate or how, and he was not excited at all when he saw her.
The eunuch of the Tai Hospital could speak, and immediately said, "The fourth prince knew that you were coming, so he didn't let him drink." ”
Chen Xueying chuckled, fiddled with the soup bowl, and did not rush to feed it, but cared about the body of the fourth prince.
"Is there a doctor who will come to check the pulse today?"
The eunuch hesitated for a moment before he pondered: "Not today, yesterday Concubine Li gave birth to the little prince, and her body is not stable, and the imperial doctors are waiting in Caixia Palace." ”
Chen Xueying sneered: "What's the matter, your hospital will also watch people put down dishes?" It's a little prince over there, but it's not a prince here? Why don't you go to the palace and ask the emperor and the crown prince, why are they treated so differently, is it that the identity of the four princes is not enough? ”
When the eunuch of the Tai Hospital heard this, he was immediately frightened, and his legs fell to his knees as soon as he became weak.
My mother-in-law, I have long heard that the crown princess is a tiger, she dares to say anything, anyone dares to offend, and he has seen the medicine a few days ago, but after all, it is only for a fourth prince who no one cares about, it is nothing.
Listening to her words again today, the eunuch realized that the rumors were true, this was to mock the Tai Hospital's praise of the high and low, and they began to question the royal bloodline.
Thanks to the fact that she dared to say this kind of thing, when it reached the ears of the emperor, she had to be killed.
"The slave doesn't dare, so the slave will go and ask the imperial doctor."
"Go ahead, this palace is waiting here, and if one is not enough, two will come. The four princes have been drinking medicine for a few days, and there is still no improvement, but the palace wants to ask them, are their minds on others? Chen Xueying took it unceremoniously, and asked him to invite a few more, both inside and outside of the words, to be held accountable.
The eunuch didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed out to ask for a doctor.
He was muttering in his heart, the emperor sent someone to the princess's mansion last night to spread the word, saying that he wanted the crown princess to make amends to Concubine Li this morning.
Concubine Li was proud, the palace people of Caixia Palace spread the news all over the harem, thinking that Concubine Li was going to make things difficult for the princess, why did she let her out so quickly.
And as soon as she made amends, the crown princess dared to choke with Concubine Li, and asked him to ask for a doctor?
He was just a eunuch in the hospital, and he was not well-informed, so he didn't know the entanglements, and he only knew to hurry up to complete the task.
In Caixia Palace, Concubine Li slept beautifully, yesterday's production consumed a lot of blood, and when she learned that the emperor wanted Chen Xueying to make amends for her, she specially told the palace maid not to wake her up, let her sleep until she woke up naturally.
It's just that her body is still a little uncomfortable, and she is thinking about her son, so she wakes up at this time.
"Mother, the general's wife is here, and she is asking to see her outside."
"Let my mother in." Concubine Li's tone was eager.
Mrs. Zhong soon came over and sat on the edge of the bed, the mother and son held each other's hands, and Concubine Li's eyes immediately turned red.
When I became a mother, I knew more about the pain of being a mother, just giving birth to a child in the ghost gate, let her die or live, and it must have been so difficult for her mother to give birth to her.
"Mother, why did you go back last night? I let you stay in the palace and sleep, there are so many rooms, and the emperor doesn't mind. Li Concubine couldn't help but complain.
"The emperor doesn't mind, that's for the gentleman's bearing, but as a courtier, you must not know your identity, and you must know the etiquette and abide by the rules, so you won't make mistakes."
"You must know the etiquette and abide by the rules, so you can't make mistakes!"
In the last sentence, Concubine Li said in unison with her, with a somewhat helpless expression on her face.
"My dear mother, I have heard this since I was a child, and my ears have become calloused. It is true that I have to know the etiquette and abide by the rules, but now my identity is different, I gave birth to a prince for the emperor, and I should be a concubine immediately, and I am only one step away from the lord of the six palaces, and my father is not a serious relative. ”
As soon as her words fell, Mrs. Zhong's face changed sharply, and she was as pale as paper.
"Don't talk nonsense!" She snorted coldly, her expression very serious.
"It's okay, mother, it's just me and you here, and Cuifang has also served me since I was a child, and what we say will not be passed on!"
"It won't spread out, and it can't be said, what is only one step away from the Lord of the Six Palaces, you died of this heart as soon as possible. No, you shouldn't have this thought, the position of the prince is so solid that no one can shake it. Your father and I don't want my grandson to embark on this road, he just needs to be an idle prince who eats, drinks and has fun! ”
Mrs. Zhong's tone became more and more cold, but Concubine Li still didn't care, and her attitude was casual.
This completely angered her, and she couldn't care that Li Concubine had just given birth and was still unwell, so she grabbed Li Concubine by the collar and pulled it hard.
"Do you understand? Don't do anything to make yourself regret and let the whole family follow the killing! ”
"Mother, mother, you hurt me!" Concubine Li was startled, and immediately began to hurt under her body, humming and chirping.
It's a pity that her coquettishness did not attract her mother's softness, and Mrs. Zhong still said in a serious tone: "Answer me!" ”
"Understood, understood, understood!"
After she repeatedly assured, Mrs. Zhong let go of her, but her face was still not good.
"It's just a joke, why is my mother so excited. Okay, I'm not going to talk about it. Seeing that she was about to get angry again, Concubine Li hurriedly raised her hand to beg for mercy.
"By the way, mother, you just came in, did you see the crown princess standing outside? Hahaha, it's a pity I can't get up to look, otherwise I must see her embarrassed appearance. Yesterday was so arrogant and domineering, and so was the prince, standing on her side without asking, my temper has come up, and I will definitely treat them! ”
"Since I was a child, no one has given me this kind of wretchedness, and I will never let them go! Sure enough, as soon as I started my premature birth, the emperor was annoyed, and Princess Dayan, who was high above, also had to make amends for me! ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, Concubine Li immediately changed the topic and laughed at Chen Xueying.
Mrs. Zhong opened her mouth, just about to say that she didn't see the crown princess, but when she heard Concubine Li say more and more outrageous, her brows furrowed tightly.
What do you mean by that? Initiating premature birth was not an accident, but you made it in order to rectify them? She asked coldly.
Concubine Li shrunk her neck and said in an eager tone: "Mother, what are you talking about?" I'm not a god, how can I control my child to give birth one day? ”
It's just that her impatient appearance is more like a weak heart, so she has to veto it as soon as possible.
Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, some of her small actions were all seen by Mrs. Zhong, and she immediately knew that she was lying.
"Cuifang, you come. Is there a hidden secret for the mother's premature birth yesterday? Don't want to hide it, I'll ask the other palace people in Caixia Palace later, if you ask what happened, don't sell it to Zhuangzi and your family! Mrs. Zhong immediately pressed the palace maid, obviously not wanting to talk nonsense, so she directly grabbed her life.
"Madame spare your life, Madame spare your life, slave maid-" Cuifang fell directly to the ground, she hesitated, obviously not knowing how to speak, and finally could only look at Concubine Li for help: "Niangniang." ”
Seeing this situation, Mrs. Zhong still didn't understand anything.
She closed her eyes, and there was a look of extreme disappointment on her face: "How dare you?" That's your own flesh and blood that you kicked in the stomach for eight months, and you forced yourself to give birth prematurely for the sake of momentary anger? ”
"Mother, I didn't. Didn't you say it before, it's hard to have a big belly? Although it was more than eight months, there were only a few days left to nine months, and it was almost full-term, so I took some oxytocic medicine prescribed by Dr. Xu. The father saved Imperial Doctor Xu's family, and the medicine he prescribed naturally had a good effect and would not have any side effects, and he would keep it secret for his daughter. ”
Concubine Li explained eagerly, she was laying the groundwork for herself, explaining to her mother that her plan was foolproof. :,w,
