67 067 Watching the play one after another
After Lu Zhao came back, Chen Xueying threw the account book to him.
"Oh, add bricks and tiles to your plan to guard the tomb."
Lu Zhao opened it and looked at it a few times, and instantly understood what it was, and immediately sneered.
"She's so bold, she can't care about anything for money."
Chen Xueying knocked on the table and couldn't help reminding: "Last time, Concubine Li almost cuckolded the emperor, even if it was a mistake, it was enough to make the old pervert hold a grudge." Concubine Li was tortured to death by him, is there a problem on your side? I'm sure he'll do it to you, too. β
Lu Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Even if there is no such thing, he will do it." As he grew older, he had noticed that he was not as strong as before, while his sons were gradually full-fledged, and the more he did so, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't help but suppress us, wanting to trample us under our feet and show his authority. β
When Chen Xueying heard this, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, and when she thought about that kind of picture a little, she felt that her scalp was numb.
"When is this kind of day a head?" She couldn't help but sigh, in fact, it was also a temptation for him.
For people like the old perverts, patience is useless, and they must fight back.
Lu Zhao immediately understood what she meant, but shook his head and sighed: "It's not just one of them who fights back, if you rebel alone and lose in his hands, you won't feel sorry." But what I'm afraid of is that Lone has become the nourishment for the other brothers, which is really embarrassing. β
As soon as he said this, Chen Xueying also understood his concerns.
I'm not afraid of fighting with Lu Wuji, but what I'm most afraid of is that Lu Wuji hasn't made a move yet, and several other princes take the initiative to attack him in order to invite merit, so all Lu Zhao's plans will be in vain.
"So the current situation is that everyone is waiting, and it depends on who can't hold back first?" She blinked, trying to clear her thoughts.
Lu Zhao nodded, he closed the account book in his hand, and frowned.
"It shouldn't be too long. Paranoid people would rather take everyone to the grave to be buried than face death alone. His tone was slightly heavy.
Obviously, Lu Wuji is a paranoid person.
A month after Concubine Li's burial, a small sedan chair was brought into the palace, and the emperor asked the Zhong family to send another daughter into the palace.
After Chen Xueying learned about this, she couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, and cursed in a low voice: "Old man doesn't cultivate!" β
This old guy can be a father for others, and he wants the young girl of the Zhong family to enter the palace.
In his opinion, this is not a punishment, but a compensation.
After all, Concubine Li died, and he asked the Zhong family to send one more in, as if to appease the Zhong family.
Tell them: Don't be afraid, I don't blame you, Zhong Hai is still the right-hand man I believe.
It's just that it's only been a month after Zhong Li's death, and it hasn't even been seven-seven, so the emperor asked the Zhong family to carry people in, I'm afraid the Zhong family and his wife don't feel honored.
I saw the newcomer laughing, and I heard the old man crying.
"This concubine is the concubine of the Zhong family, and I heard that she has a good temperament and is also very smart. After sending the emperor to the early court today, I immediately went to Chuxiu Palace to ask Concubine Yu for peace, and I have seen all the concubines. Hua Rong will inquire about the news and tell them one by one.
"The Zhong family was frightened by Concubine Li, and sent someone who was not smart to come in, not only could not help the Zhong family, but also added to all kinds of chaos." Chen Xueying couldn't help but sigh.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, the master and servant were chatting, and someone from the palace came outside to spread the word: "Qiyu Crown Princess, Jia Concubine asks to see." β
"Please let her in."
Jia Concubine blessed her body lightly, and said softly: "I have seen the crown princess." β
Chen Xueying got up and gave her a half-salute back.
"No need to be polite, please be seated." Chen Xueying waved her hand.
She couldn't help but look at it, the woman in front of her was three points similar to Concubine Li, but Concubine Li's appearance was more gorgeous, and Concubine Jia was more playful, looking more tender than Concubine Li.
But judging from Jia Concubine's style of acting, although she is younger, she is very safe.
Concubine Li's reputation has long been spread throughout the harem.
Among them, Concubine Li slept directly until the sun on the second day after the first Chenghuan, so that the concubines who were waiting for her to come to ask for peace directly pounced.
And this concubine didn't take Qiao, not only went to Chuxiu Palace, but even came to greet her after learning that she was in the East Palace.
"Yesterday, the concubine just entered the palace and came to visit the crown princess. I heard that the crown princess likes to drink tea, and the concubine likes to make tea at home, so I make several kinds of tea, and I will bring it to you to taste. She waved her hand as she spoke, and immediately a palace maid offered the teapot with both hands.
Chen Xueying smiled at her, this is really a person who knows how to be polite, and she knows how to bring a greeting gift.
"Brew a pot." She ordered a tea can.
Hua Rong immediately lifted the teapot and began to make tea, and soon the aroma of fruit tea filled the hall.
With this cup of tea, the atmosphere is obviously much more harmonious, the concubine intends to make friends, Chen Xueying also eases the atmosphere, and the guests and hosts are happy for a while.
"I had a great chat with the crown princess today, and the concubine made new tea another day, and then sent it over for you to taste." Jia Concubine got up and prepared to leave.
Chen Xueying beckoned, and soon Ye Jing came out with a wooden box.
Inside is a pearl hairpin, with goose yellow gemstones as the main stone, and a circle of baby pink gems as petals on the outside, forming a blooming hibiscus flower, which looks delicate and playful, and is simply tailor-made for Jia Concubine.
"This is a meeting gift from this palace, you are tender, you must look good when you wear it."
When Jia Concubine saw the pearl hairpin, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she obviously liked it very much.
"It's not appropriate for the concubine to take away your hairpin just for a pot of teaβ" She hesitated to excuse herself.
"There is no distinction between high and low gifts, as long as the heart arrives. This palace looks at you with a kind face and is willing to give it to you. Chen Xueying interrupted her words and waved her hand directly.
"Master, what do you think of this concubine?"
When Concubine Jia left, Hua Lu couldn't help but ask.
Chen Xueying pondered for a moment and said: "If you are friends, you will be safe; If it is an enemy, I am afraid it will be a drain on the mind. β
Jia Concubine is much more difficult to deal with than Concubine Li.
In the month after Concubine Li's death, the palace fell silent, and the emperor did not recruit anyone, nor did anyone dare to move forward, even the concubines who liked to send soup to Longqian Palace on weekdays stopped for fear of being caught and punished by the emperor.
And after Jia Concubine entered the palace, she quickly became active.
Lu Wuji didn't know that he was infatuated with this young concubine, or he wanted to reassure the Zhong family, so he stayed with her for five days, in order to avoid the official from spraying him, he stopped for a few days, and then began to recruit her again.
But anyone with long eyes knows that the emperor really likes this concubine.
Many people are watching coldly, wanting to see if the emperor is greedy for a moment of freshness.
But for three months in a row, Jia Concubine was still pampered, and even when it was reported that the fifth prince was sick, she also received the emperor's grace and personally visited and took care of the five princes.
This move immediately stabbed the hornet's nest.
You must know that after the other princes were sent to the wolf's den, their mothers were not allowed to visit, even if they were sick, they were also treated by the imperial doctor, and it was in vain for them to go.
The emperor used this as a reason to directly cut off the communication between their mother and son, and even kept reiterating that the she-wolves are sensitive to smell, but if they smell other people's breath on the little prince, they are afraid that they will not recognize the prince as a little wolf cub.
However, he made an exception for the sake of Jia Concubine, not only let her visit, but also let her lead the palace people to take care of her, and went for three days in a row, until the fifth prince was almost well before leaving.
The other concubines in the palace who had no heirs didn't know about it, but Concubine Yu and Concubine Xiang soon received the news, and their hearts were immediately cold.
Before they could react, it was already rumored that the concubine was happy.
Seeing that it was about to enter summer, the scenery in the imperial garden was very good, so Chen Xueying led the two palace people to visit the garden together.
After walking to a rockery, I suddenly heard two curses coming from the pavilion.
"How can this concubine be reasonable? She looked at the harmlessness of people and animals, and she was very polite, she thought that she had entered a sensible girl, but she never expected that the means would be cloudy. This is pregnant with the dragon species, which is not as good as the original Concubine Li! β
"What is your name Jia Concubine, I heard that the emperor has written a will to promote her."
"What? The dragon seed in her belly is less than three months old, and she may not even sit firmly in the fetus, maybe it will fall tomorrow, and she will be promoted, and the emperor is too partial. β
"Who's to say it isn't! Several concubines competed to raise the five princes, but as soon as she entered the palace, she became the mother of the five princes, and now she has another one in her belly. I saw everyone smiling before, and I will walk sideways in the palace in the future, I'm afraid I will reveal my true face! β
Chen Xueying stood on her feet and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
Obviously, these are two concubines, who are getting together to say bad things about Jia Concubine.
After Concubine Jia entered the palace, this road was smoother than Concubine Li, so she aroused countless jealousy and ridicule.
After all, the five princes were born to Concubine Li, and the Zhong family sent the concubine into the palace, so the five princes should be raised by the concubines, and the other concubines had to be left behind.
But in fact, under the perverted upbringing style of the Lu family's royal family, the princes are all brought by she-wolves, and the relationship with their mothers has to be repaired when they grow up, which is actually not close.
"What are the two sisters talking about? Tell me about it, too! A familiar voice entered the gazebo.
Chen Xueying squinted and was immediately happy, and the concubine actually appeared.
And a second ago, these two concubines were still scolding, and now that Jia Concubine has walked into the pavilion, it is obvious that she heard the words before.
The two concubines obviously thought of this, and their faces suddenly changed greatly.
"Haha, we're talking about the fact that the weather is getting hotter now, and the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, and it's best to see a hundred flowers blooming."
"yes, yes."
The two of them played haha and prevaricated casually, but in fact, the whole person was very nervous.
Chen Xueying was so happy to watch the play that she didn't want to leave for a while, she didn't expect that she would see such a big drama when she came out for a walk.
Jia Concubine smiled: "The sisters are right, the flowers in this imperial garden are the same as the sisters in the palace, bright and fresh." However, although it is said that a hundred flowers are blooming, there is still a difference in the flowers that bloom. You see, even in a sea of flowers, the peony is still the best, and you can see it at first glance, just like the queen mother. After that, there are orchids and moon seasons, just like Concubine Yu and several other mothers. Sister, I can barely be regarded as a camellia, adding spice. β
She changed her words: "As for the other sisters, they are just like the other flowers in this garden, although they are also beautiful, they are not very inconspicuous, and they are not visible when they are mixed together." Two sisters, don't you say? β
As soon as Jia Concubine's voice fell, the faces of the two concubines became extremely ugly, obviously she was referring to Sang and scolding Huai.
In the end, the two couldn't stay any longer, so they hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Jia Concubine sneered, with disdain on her face.
Chen Xueying was about to leave, but she heard Jia Concubine raise her voice and shout: "Who is hiding behind the rockery to enjoy the coolness, come over and have a cup of tea together." β
She smiled, walked directly from behind the rockery, and entered the gazebo.
When Jia Concubine saw that it was her, she hurriedly got up to salute.
"No, you're a double now, get up."
Jia Concubine didn't get up directly, but finished the salute in a proper manner before sitting down again.
"Jia Concubine has good ears."
"After all, the concubine comes from a family of military generals, and she still learned some kung fu and is more sensitive than ordinary people. I just guessed that there was someone behind the rockery, but I didn't know who it was, so I wanted to cheat, but I didn't expect to wait for you. Jia Concubine smiled, and her tone was friendly, which was very different from Fang Cai's intimidating attitude.
"You just found out that you have been happy for a few days, and it has been less than three months, so you came out to visit the Imperial Garden, be careful." Chen Xueying saw that she was no different from the past, so she whispered a few words of persuasion.
In ancient times, women did not go out of the door, got married early and became pregnant early, and the first trimester was the most cautious, and it was easy to have a miscarriage.
Jia Concubine immediately nodded: "Thank you for your concern, but the concubine's body is much stronger than that of ordinary women, and if she can't sit still, it's better to come out and walk around the garden." β
Chen Xueying saw that she was measured, and she didn't persuade much, so the two chatted a few words, and then separated.
In the princess's mansion, Chen Xueying was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, when suddenly there was a soft call in her ears.
"Master, wake up, someone is in the palace."
This is obviously Hua Rong's voice, but Chen Xueying only felt noisy, she waved her hand and said: "If you don't go to the palace today, you will sleep until you wake up naturally." β
"Crown Princess, the emperor sent someone over to invite you into the palace." Hua Rong said again.
When Chen Xueying heard the words "emperor", she was instantly alert, she blinked, and her mind was still a little confused.
"The emperor invited me into the palace?"
"Yes."
"Did you say why?" Chen Xueying asked as she got up.
"Ye Jing is asking, the slave maid came in to help you wash first, saying that the palace was in a hurry." Hua Rong put on her shoes and immediately helped her to sit on the dresser.
A group of palace maids instantly got busy, helping her get dressed and dressed, and after a while, Ye Jing walked in.
"The slave asked, only saying that the emperor wanted to ask you about the imperial garden a few days ago, but when you inquired again, you refused to say it. The person who came was Zhuo Gonggong of Longqian Palace, he was the godson of Chief Qin, and the slaves and maids did not dare to force it anymore. Ye Jing's face was serious.
Chen Xueying raised her eyebrows, and Qin You'an's godson sent it over, proving that this matter was very serious and needed to be kept secret.
"Crown Princess, please get into the carriage quickly, the emperor is waiting."
As soon as Chen Xueying appeared, she saw Zhuo's father-in-law greet her, with a smile on her face.
Although the words were polite, they were really anxious.
Chen Xueying suddenly knew in her heart, there was obviously something big going on in the palace, or it was related to the incident in the Imperial Garden that day, and there were only three people she met.
Calling her over was supposed to be just for questioning, and it had nothing to do with her directly.
But the attitude is so anxious, is it because Jia Concubine has a miscarriage? οΌοΌοΌ
