Princess Taiping was about to go down the stairs to return home. She suddenly heard the maid Bai Rui, who was with Xi Liang Mo across the aisle, sending an elegantly dressed girl in a goose yellow dress to a wing. Bai Rui was turning her head to knock down. Miss: "I am going to prepare aromatic tea and snacks for the county owner's wing. I will send the rouge baskets that I bought in Xinzhou in a while."
After speaking, Bai Rui also entered the wing room.
The princess's footsteps stopped and Xi Liangmo's voice speaking to another great maiden, Baiyu, came from behind: "What, the second sister is here, I don't know if the princess is gone, don't let them meet her ".
Hearing the hurried footsteps behind her, the princess condensed between her brows, and her eyes fell on the wing room with the door wide open beside her. She frowned and turned to enter the wing room, letting her maid close the door. , and then she quietly sat on the side near the Xiliangxian wing, and as expected, I could vaguely hear the voice of the conversation on the other side of the wing.
Regardless of the image of the noble princess, Princess Taiping immediately leaned her ear against the thin wall and listened carefully.
From the other side, came the elegant and implicit arrogant voice of Xiliang Xianzhen: "Why, is it because the princess feels that we are not worthy of the prince, that we cannot participate in the selection of Prince Liangdi?"
Xiliang Mo sighed softly: "His Royal Highness of hers is noble and knowledgeable. Although I have the title of princess, I know that I am not worthy of the Royal Highness of her ..."
Princess Taiping secretly nodded at this end, according to what Xi Liang Mo had said, and he also had a good impression of her, he still understood her own weight.
Xiliangxian sneered on that side: "I think the older sister is already a favorite in her heart, but my sister is still a bit oblivious of herself. Your mother is declining and cannot help Her Highness at all, but I am different. The noble concubine is not only my aunt. The Han family has even come out of a family of various imperial queens and concubines. My father loves me more since I was a child, so you'd better help me obediently, than otherwise ... eh. "
Princess Taiping's icy eyes flashed contempt and coldness towards Xiliangxian, a bitch, she failed to seduce the emperor's brother, so she wanted to take advantage of Han Wanyu's bitch and she still wants to be the crown prince? ridiculous!
At this moment, Xi Liang Mo spoke again, his voice gently comforting: "Sister, you and I were born into a wealthy family. Why have to compete with others? As a younger sister, you do not enter the palace and become a first-class product. The lady is fine too. "
Xiliangxian disdainfully replied: "You are so handsome and you dare not to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but I am different. As for the princess, she is a widow with a dead husband. Naturally, it is because we are young girls, that They're cold and jealous. She's nice to look at, why should I care about her? "
Princess Taiping was originally the younger sister of Her Majesty. When the emperor assumed the throne, she was only four years old. She was no more than three years older than the emperor's prince. The current emperor is not the first prince, but the later prince and the previous brothers were both. It did not work, the first emperor loved this son again, so he let him inherit the throne.
Of course, this is the official declaration of the emperor after he became king. The truth is no longer important. Since ancient times, it has only been a hit or miss.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he immediately killed several brothers who opposed him, banished two princes, and abolished the three princesses who were said to have colluded with the abolished king and tried to rebel. the dragon was the only one. Wang Yu never participated in political affairs, and Liang Wang, who had a bad reputation for sleeping in the flowers and willows all day, was saved, and the emperor's only compatriot became the oldest princess, and the princesses younger underneath were not a threat.
It is logical that the emperor loves this little sister very much. Princess Taiping was indeed highly favored at first, but later Xidi came to commit the crime. At that time, Lord Jingguo Xiliang was speechless or General Fuyuan of the city, but he was employed in Lan. A brave and eloquent general under the Marshal General, although he has been through more than 20 battles with General Lan, and finally blocked Xidi from the border, Xidi's prosperity is not weaker than that of the celestial dynasty, and immediately requested the celestial dynasty. The royal daughters and the pro-daughters and the tribute requests.
The imperial daughter cut off the celestial dynasty's plan to use the imperial relatives and noble daughters to seal the princess and relatives, and the only age-appropriate royal princess was the emperor's sister who was fifteen years old, so the emperor he ignored the little girl. The princess cried and sealed her as Taiping Dachang The princess married Prince Xidi, but ten years later, Prince Xidi died in a battle in the royal family. Princess Taiping had no children and refused to stay in Xidi .
Right now, Xi Di was at a time when the internal fighting was fierce and she had no time to take care of him, so she accepted the Heavenly Dynasty's request and sent Princess Taiping back to the Heavenly Dynasty. .
The emperor was ashamed of this little sister, so he naturally took great care of her and gave him the best in all of her. However, the princess was not as vivacious and innocent as ever, she was always covered in ice and snow, cold and icy. , and she refused to follow the emperor. She asks to find another lover.
Princess Taiping sacrificed herself in exchange for a period of heavenly peace, so although she treated others with arrogance and coldness, her status in the dynasty was quite indifferent and respected.
Even though her guys told her behind her back that she was still beautiful, but she was an old widow with no will and no heart. When she was in front of the princess, everyone was respectful.
Princess Taiping did not know how many people were talking about herself, after all, a woman who died because of her husband is not a good thing, but she had never heard it so harshly in her own ears.
Now that Xiliangxian heard those words, he suddenly became furious.
With a frozen face, she stood up suddenly, her eyes flashed with a murderer, but she stood firm and sat up slowly, but the coldness that emanated from her body made the waiting maid shudder. .
Xiliang Mo voice contained three points of anger: "Sister, don't say it. If the princess is not for me, how can I sacrifice the splendor of this year to fulfill the ambitions of men? Men do not understand pain and the difficulties of his daughters., As a daughter's family, don't you understand? I heard that the princess of that year was the most beautiful in Kyoto, and that the young prince with outstanding talents was also called the double bi of heaven. There are many talents who wanted to ask for it, but he left home for five thousand kilometers. It is really a sigh and shameful. "
Xi Liang Mo sighed and eased the frozen heart of Princess Taiping next door. She sighed slightly, but she did not expect Zhenmin to sense her mood without realizing it.
It's just ... Xiliangxian!
A cold and cruel smile appeared under the veil of Jin Zhu, Princess Taiping, and she whispered, "Bing Qing Yujie, what a host of Qing Yujie Duanyang County of ice."
She stood up quietly, pushed the door down, and led her maid quietly away from the back door.
What Princess Taiping didn't know was that the moment she left Guosefang's door, Xiliang Mo pushed open the door and smiled as she looked at her back. Bai Rui brought a strange face aside. The young woman came out and was impressively dressed in Xiliangxian's favorite outfit, and as soon as she came out, she blessed her body in Xiliang Mo: "The Princess."
A weak voice was not far from Xiliangxian.
Xi Liang Mo looked at the girl and smiled slightly: "Lianer, you have worked hard, go to the manager of the section below to get a silver reward for Xiao Maotou to buy some snacks and then fry two pieces of medicine for your mother." .
Li Lian'er was surprised that such a distinguished master could remember everything in her own family as an untouchable. There was a burst of warmth in her heart, and she fell deeply with gratitude: "Lian'er replaced my mother, brother, and brother. Thank you. Teacher!"
After Xiliang Mo gained power, she let Mother He take over the inner courtyard, but the most important warehouse was still in charge of Mother Bai, and Mother Bai's main energy kept rushing to her outside, searching for and cultivating people. that he can do things reliably, and Xi Liang Mo instructed him to pay special attention to some people who have a gloomy life experience, but a soft heart and good skill.
Mother Bai is the maid alongside the ethereal royal person. When she was young, she wandered the rivers and lakes for many years. Naturally, she also knew the roach people and dog thieves well, and she was always worthy of the truth of the day.
This Li Lian'er's family was originally an important member of the juggling group.The three brothers and sisters are the best at shadow puppetry and juggling, relying on this sick mother to support her.
Although the three Li Lian'er brothers and sisters looked normal, her mother was originally the daughter of a talented person and had a good face. Although they were already half-old milfs, they had a hard time, but what was rare was not worn out by the hard days. He was too powerful, but the charm was still there. That day, the ruffians on the streets of the capital wanted to take him away and insult him.
The squad leader saw the scrambler get up and even ran away with someone.
Where did the three brothers and sisters resist the local snake that had colluded with the local security guard? Both brothers were beaten, even Lian'er would be kidnapped by the local ruffian.
Madam Bai's people have been paying attention to the three brothers with exquisite performances for a long time. Seeing this, there is no reason to save them, so they immediately reported to Madam Bai, who saved the family, and put themselves under Xiliang. Mo's instructions. She was raised in his Zhuangzi and the doctor healed his brother's wounds.
All three brothers and sisters have their own strengths, but since then they are grateful to Xi Liangmo and are willing to sell themselves to her and be used by her.
Li Lian'er, who is the best in ventriloquism, is now of great use.
Xiliang Mo saw Li Lian'er walk away gratefully and sighed. Someone was kind and simple, and only a small favor could get the other person's retribution. However, some people were in the great Zhumen family with good clothes and food, but always dissatisfied, wanting to step on others to gain more honor, but not knowing that greed will ruin one's glory sooner or later.
Xiliang Mo looked at the setting sun gradually, and the autumn breeze rolled up the dead leaves. She picked up the cloak embroidered with the beautiful lotus flower and said weakly: "Let's go back, we will enter the palace tomorrow."
The four masters and servants went home without mentioning them.
Also, between the green tiles and the red walls, inside the forbidden palace.
In late autumn, in addition to the imperial garden, the only place where autumnal chrysanthemums are placed in the East Palace. There are many little eunuchs who constantly move new splendors from the chariot under the cries of the great eunuchs ... The autumnal chrysanthemum and some early blooming plum blossoms fell and were arranged everywhere.
A glowing figure of Huang Junting was standing in the Library of the East Palace, looking indifferently at the busy figures everywhere. "Prince, the Queen Mother is really interested in this selection, and the Lord will be busy again in the future." "Little Tanzi joked on the sidelines.
The prince gave Xiao Tanzi a cold look, then turned and left.
Little Tanzi smiled bitterly and rushed to chase him: "Second Master, Second Master, wait for Little Tanzi, Little Tanzi's mouth is cheap, is it good to hold his mouth?"
The eldest prince died early, and the second prince Si Chengqian established himself as an early prince. The queen's son may survive to the present, but this is only one, but the queen does not give herself to Si Chengqian because of this, and she has always treated him. The requirements are extremely strict, so he has created the cold and indifferent character of him. He has never heard of a concubine that he specializes in.
Even if it is Prince Zhengfei who shares the same bed, it is only fulfilling the duty of husband and wife.
This made the prince happy and sad that he lost two sons and broke his body. The happy thing is that she never lost the prince's favor. The sad thing is that the prince has never caressed anyone. He is very careful in his words and deeds. ., He can be called a model.
Such a model, while flawless, lacks the smell of human fireworks. "Prince prince, tomorrow is your selection day. Do you really stop listening to the selection agent? This time you cannot choose a gentle and kind woman." Xiao Tanzi met Si Chengqian, wipe After sweating, he bit his lip and said. "No matter who she chooses, no matter what kind of woman, she will always be like this after entering this palace," Si Chengqian said coldly and honestly, he has no interest in choosing who will be the best, let alone. .. "Hasn't someone been appointed?" Si Chengqian raised her thin lips mockingly, but there was no smile on his cold and beautiful face.
Xiao Tanzi was foolish, in fact, when they went to the Xiliang family that day, they had already met the two Xiliang girls in Meilin, whether it was the eldest daughter of the Xiliang family or the seemingly gentle girl. Princess Zhenmin is not friendly, no matter who enters the Eastern Palace again, the Eastern Palace will not be peaceful, but the Queen Empress said that such a woman can protect herself and her children.
Si Chengqianjun's serene face is full of indifference and mockery: "Women are greedy and selfish. No matter who can get the position of good dynasty, if they have never caused a major incident, this prince will not pay attention. There are those restless. .. huh! "He doesn't mind getting rid of some more useless women.
Si Chengqian nonchalantly looked at the brightly colored autumnal chrysanthemums all over the place. With a flick of their wide sleeves, the beautiful autumnal chrysanthemums flew and broke into messy petals and fell to the ground one after another.
...
Earlier that morning, when Xiliang Mo got up, Bai Yu had already prepared for her a pale pink half-arm embroidered with auspicious moire patterns, a wide-sleeved white shark chiffon top skirt, and a beautiful floral butterfly dress. Pleated skirt in pomegranate and light yellow brocade.
After she donned Xiliang Mo, Bai Yu donned her double ring bun and donned the red coral head and face sent by Baili Qingming.
Bai Yu reluctantly muttered: "The princess, although this body is beautiful, represses the beauty of the young girl. The coral headdress is so exquisite that it must be combined with civilian clothes to show her beauty, the princess. May I change it? ? "
Xiliang Mo's appearance is feminine. Wearing light pink, light blue, lavender and light colors clothes can highlight your delicate and elegant appearance, as fresh as the temperament of the morning light, if this body is thick and colorful, it will take you to There is a discount of three points for its beauty, which makes it difficult to hold a pair of white jade with a pair of delicate makeup.
Xiliang Mo was very satisfied with the look of joy, which was actually a normal couple. She smiled and put on a pearl eardrum as she said, "Okay, why worry about this? Your princess just doesn't want to go fight with that group of women for a man to dress like that, because, you want to accompany me to the palace. and not marry forever, or do you want to marry the prince?
Bai Yu quickly shook her head and sneered, "Come on princess, you love leading people and giving back to your mother. It's not good. It's a different story surviving the crown prince. Bai Yu doesn't have that wealth."
Bai Rui arrived early, and heard Bai Yu's words, and said with a smile: "I mean, Bai Yu are getting married, how can we go to that shameful place to be a old lady? "
Bai Yu suddenly felt embarrassed and ran to pinch Bai Rui: "Little hoof, you have no door in your mouth, you laugh every day!"
Xi Liang Mo looked at the two girls laughing and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Approval flashed in her eyes. The girl next to her must still keep a clear head in the face of glory and wealth to live long.
In the end, Bai Yu has a calm personality and doesn't cause much trouble. After a while, she will come and serve Xiliang Mo for food. Xiliang Mo is using purple rice porridge, and the voice of the second-class girl Baishuang is heard outside: Sir, the second lady and the county lord are here. "
Xiliang Mo ate, raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Please pour some tea."
Bai Rui and Bai Yu suddenly went into 120,000-point alertness, or that Lian Zhai's people showed 120,000-point alertness.
After all, the last time Xiliangxian appeared, it brought disaster to the people of Lianzhai.
Although Lian Zhai's people had respectful faces, they looked at them with extreme caution and disgust.
Xiliang Mo consoled all the people who were hit by Xiliangxian with silver. The monthly silver he paid for each of them increased by a coin or two, and he kindly went to offer his condolences in person, compared to Xiliangxian's tall cold blood. With a ruthless attitude, Xiliang Mo completely won the hearts of the slightly hesitant subordinates. After this difficult situation, Lianzhai came together like never before.
However, many people in other courtyards saw that Lian Zhai was very strict under Madam He's leadership and that the rewards and punishments were strict, but the master never ventured to people and the treatment was higher than in other places, so they sharpened their heads and thought. Squeeze in Lianzhai.
Han and Xiliangxian looked at the appearance of Lianzhai's subordinates, but now the master who begged them, had to suppress an unpleasant breath in their hearts, they hurriedly crossed the Baiyu Bridge and entered the main courtyard of Lianzhai.
Xi Liang Mo didn't even stand up to greet them, he simply put the spoon in his hand and smiled slowly at both of them: "Er Niang, second sister, really a rare visitor, how can the wind carry you to Lian Zhai today? "
Han looked at the exquisite Yangzhou rolls, the rose gold silk cakes, the green jade coconut rolls, the leek crystal shrimp boxes, and the excellent blood bird nests on Xiliang Mo's table, and couldn't avoid looking jealous and dissatisfied in their eyes.
She said in a strange way, "Sister Mo, has she used that much before by herself? I heard that Lian Zhai may be spending a lot of money recently."
The delicacy of these dark sums shouldn't be made in a large kitchen, but this cheap hoof will enjoy it, and I have found such a clever cook.
Xiliang Mo said nonchalantly, "Mo'er remembers going to the Xuan Pavilion to greet Erniang last time. Erniang has a lot of snacks there. Of course, Erniang can enjoy a little more for the elderly. Lianzhai's chewing is now except Yueyin mine, mainly Guoselou's income, has never exceeded the princess's rules.
Han was choked with anger at Xi Liang Mo's words, and her face became harder to look at. She wanted to say something, but Xi Liang Xian tugged at her and just held back.
Xiliangxian sat in front of Xiliangmo, and after looking at Xiliangmo's outfit, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but her face smiled with grace and kindness: "The older sister is taking care of the food, and the younger sister is waiting. Anyway. It's early to enter the palace. "
Xi Liang Mo naturally kept the trace of disdain under his eyes under his eyes, but he also looked at Xiliang Immortal unconsciously. Today, he did not raise the cloud temples as high as before, but instead combed a cross bun and two strands of black hair. The programming whip of her hair was wound around her cheeks in two loops and tied behind her head. She actually wore the jade head and face ensemble that Bailiqing gave her. The fine jade beads fell down her cheeks on her shoulders, three delicate flowers. On the bow is the green lotus flower carved from jadeite, clear as crystal, without many other decorations, but more and more highlights the beauty of tranquility.
She is dressed in a pale white and green jade lotus leaf palace dress, with gold thread embroidered satin at her waist, and her graceful figure is lined with a full grip. The corners of her skirt are covered with pink lotus flowers adorned with fine crystal beads. and she is covered with a layer of white light Chiffon, a small jade pendant in the center of the eyebrows, is elegant, delicate and calm and dignified, but there is a clear water in the softness of the lotus.
Xiliang Mo said with a smile but a real smile: "The second sister is really beautiful, she is really heartbreaking, and the sister is embarrassed."
Xiliangxian and Han's eyes shone with pride, but Xiliangxian said modestly, "My sister is rich and glorious, and beautiful."
A hint of anger flashed in Bai Yu's eyes, but still she held back.
Are you ridiculing yourself for being vulgar? Xiliang Mo didn't care at all. Xiliang's fairy mother and daughter were afraid that she would go away quietly, so she came to look at her early in the morning. After a long time until both of them showed anxiety, she got up slowly and said, "Okay, it's not early, let's go."
Only then did mother and daughter Han let go, and immediately got up impatiently and followed Xi Liang Mo out of the house.
The carriage outside had already been installed, and the three of them traveled in two carriages to the eastern palace of the imperial city.
Upon entering the palace, the eunuch who verified the identity at the gate blocked Xiliangxian's path. Although he was courteous, he said firmly and firmly: "The palace entrance list this time does not have the name of the Duanyang county lord. Please come back."
Other people's young women were also waiting for his identities. They couldn't help but watch Xiliangxian's whispers, with the ridiculous secrecy and strangeness in his eyes. They all knew that Xiliangxian was surprised by the last banquet of the lotus appreciation palace. The emperor was disgusted. , and now he has the face to disguise himself to participate in the selection of Prince Liangdi, he is not cheeky.
Xiliangxian used to be the number one talented woman in Beijing. She has it all in terms of poetry and songs. The emperor praises her in a small letter with a hairpin, but she now she has ended up like this. She is embarrassed and angry but she can't do anything, she can only hold on to him. With the scroll in her hand, she unconsciously touched her lame leg, afraid that someone would see her, but her face was pretending to be calm, but her eyes were anxiously looking at Xi Liang Mo.
Xi Liangmo saw her embarrassment appear and only then did she step forward and smile: "Father-in-law, my sister is not here to attend the banquet, but to visit the imperial concubine and empress."
As soon as the words came out, the father-in-law hesitated, but the ladies behind him all showed disdain, if they came to visit the imperial concubine, why choose to enter the palace at this hour or go through the door? It is clearly the path to the eastern palace!
Mrs He, who was standing next to Xiliang Mo, stepped forward and said something to the father-in-law in a low voice. The father-in-law immediately showed a look of surprise and respect, and immediately handed him a badge on her waist. Xiliang Mo and Xiliangxian respectfully stepped aside: "Two ladies, please."
Xiliangxian was overjoyed and immediately grabbed the card from her waist, as if she were grabbing a straw to save lives, and she entered the palace with her head held high, ignoring the comments of other people behind him. "He's really cheeky." "I mean, I even pretended to be the number one talented woman in Beijing."
Xiliang Xianzhi grabbed him around the waist and a vicious gleam flashed under her eyes. When she became Princess Liangdi, and he would see who would dare to speak of her like this!
When the time comes, these bitches will be treated!
Xi Liang Mo looked at her expression, curled the corners of her lips with a smile, saying nothing, and entered the East Palace alone.
Jia Dao's poem "Send Dong Zhengzi to Changzhou to Go to the Province" read: "Spring is here to serve the resistance, the spelling is in the East Palace."
The East Palace is the residence of the future lord of the world, but not everyone who lives in the East Palace can board that seat.
The same should be to overcome thorns and thorns, full of blood, if you feel unstable, you can be deposed at any time.
However, the current Palacio del Este has a stable position. Although the queen's family is not a commanding general in the army, her brother is now the prime minister, known for his integrity, knowledge and skill. Prince Wende and Martial arts are quite successful, there are not many brothers, only a third prince and six princes, and his mothers are humble men of the court and cannot be compared to the queen.
The three concubines like Xian, De, and Noble were just princesses, so the crown prince of Donggong was almost a certainty.
The seat next to the prince is that almost everyone who has noble daughters will have to grab his head.
After news of Queen Mo De Xiliang's blue eyes spread, as soon as she walked in, she felt more looks of "enthusiastic attention".
The group of noble ladies who had despised her at the lotus banquet gathered around her, as if they were extremely affectionate, Xiliang Mo did not put a high glance, just calmly with them. Kidding, neither humble nor authoritarian.
He has won the opinion of many people about her. There are many rumors about the princess of the Yasukuni government. At first, Ms. Yushi praised her for her filial piety. Later, she was described as vulgar, unmanned, and unreasonable in poetry and literature. The painting about the lotus banquet was a box office success and she was awarded the title of it for her ransom.
She is like a legend among aristocratic ladies who are cautious and ethical. The name of it, Industry Guosefang, is the most fashionable place for ladies. In addition to the exquisite powdery fragrance that has not been seen before, she also holds some elegant boudoir gatherings. Occasionally. To teach how to care for skin and beauty and other skills, Beijing ladies they gradually take pride in being invited to this elegant gathering.
Now that I heard that the empress treats her with her own eyes, she is naturally more enthusiastic about Princess Zhenmin of the Yasukuni family.
On the contrary, the former sky sweet girl, Xi Liangxian, stood in the cold, looking at Xi Liang Mo with jealousy.
After a while, the eunuch's long, shrill voice rang out: "Here is the Empress, the Prince is here, and Princess Taiping!"
With the arrival of the few ceremonial ceremonies in the palace, all the women gracefully bowed towards the mountain and shouted: "Wan blessing the empress, blessing your royal highness and blessing your princess."
The queen's soft and gentle voice rang in everyone's head: "Today is to invite the ladies to come to the East Palace to enjoy the chrysanthemum, don't be so cautious."
The girls bowed again, thanked the nobles for their kindness, and simply stood up.
This time, the queen did not allow the women to act in turns as in the usual lotus banquet. After all, it didn't take long for the last lotus banquet. She had already recorded the talents of these ladies from the palace people around her.
She therefore only allowed the girls to enjoy the autumn chrysanthemum and the first batch of plum trees in the East Palace as if they were in the garden, and then invited the prince and several cousins of the same age to come and see her. . "Prince, it is rare that the East Palace is so lively today. You also resign for a day. Since you are free, go down with your brothers to enjoy the flowers and poetry. The right thing to do is to relax. The empress smiles at the prince and various princes and princes of the county, said the prince.
They all knew what this meant, so they greeted the queen with respect and stepped back.
The noble ladies did not expect that the empress would not be able to react to such an arrangement, but the smart ones immediately greeted the prince and the other kings, and those who knew each other spoke shyly.
This group of little princes also knew that the original intention of the queen was not only to choose concubines for the prince, but also to choose people for themselves. Naturally, they were happy to accept and made a nice appearance. Please go see the chrysanthemums and appreciate the plums, be polite.
Now that there is such a beginning, it has won the favor of this group of proud children, naturally some people who are not willing to give up the shyness of the girl and go on, after all, Prince Liangdi is a seat, and the ruler child is only two seats No, even if you can get the position of the prince's side concubine, or even the prince's concubine, it's good.
Especially here, in addition to the prince, there is also the best son of the capital, the little prince Si Liufeng.
The wedding banquet with the Yasukuni government at that time was postponed because the glamorous fourth lady Xiliang Dan was seriously ill and there were many rumors. Many people said that Xiliang Dan was sick. Although the royal family returned to this marriage, although it was a bit authentic, but it also makes sense.
After all, the crime of divorcing the wife is included in the crime: a disease.
Therefore, this little prince has also become the most popular object of celebrities and beauties besides Prince Si Chengqian.
If Chengqian looked indifferently at the Wenxiang Nephrite ladies surrounding him and those cousins, a trace of impatience and disgust flashed in his eyes, just sitting silently under the plum tree drinking, too lazy to pay attention to them. , the queen, is already watching and choosing a woman who suits her.
The Queen Empress sat on top of her head silently with a smile, looking at the girls around her son and her nephews, or laughing, or shy poems to each other, talking about the world. She seemed to be very pleased with her aunt who was waiting for her next to her.
Only the palace servants who were serving alongside her knew what the queen empress was doing.
"Those who are proud of themselves, who do not respect themselves with the prince, and who are incriminating others, will be registered in this palace and eliminated ..."
The empress thought for a moment and added: "Yes, there are those who stop shrinking and behave stingy, write it down to this palace too and eliminate them!"
Aunt Nangong, who was writing something behind her, couldn't help but pause and whispered, "Niang, if that's the case, there won't be many people."
The queen took the fragrant tea of Yunlu Mountain from the lady of the court, and the queen said nonchalantly, "You don't need too many women around the prince, only useful women are enough."
Aunt Nangong nodded and said yes, and then hesitantly said, "Niang Niang, you see, the young woman who spoke to the prince Facing the white plum tree seems to be the Yasukuni family's princess Zhenmin ..."
She didn't want to draw any conclusions, after all, the princess was the person she liked.
When the queen heard her words, she raised her eyes and looked under the plum blossom, she was startled and then slightly frowned.
Yes, Xi Liang Mo was standing under the plum tree and talking to Si Liufeng. Although there seemed to be nothing between them, the slight smile on Xi Liang Mo's face was extremely dazzling in the queen's eyes.
She suddenly remembered that there was a note in the information presented by Aunt Nangong to the young ladies: The little prince De Xiao intended to hire an old lady from Yasukuni, but Yasukuni refused.
After all, there is no Yasukuni government, and there is no need to take two daughters to marry the Royal Palace of the Qingliu faction, but there is not much royal power. But now Xiliang Dan's reputation has been destroyed, this matter is very easy to resolve. say...
Empress Lu couldn't help but sigh, but at this moment, Princess Taiping, who was sitting next to her, who had not made a sound, suddenly spoke coldly.
"Sister-in-law, don't you think Zhenmin and Liufeng match well?"
Empress Lu paused, thinking that Princess Taiping did not know that she originally liked Xiliang Mo as Prince Liangdi, so she said gently and honestly, "Hongyuan also feels that this princess of Zhenmin has a gentle temperament and is known as a filial piety. The name and the conduct of all is to indicate that it will be a good wife for the prince. "
Princess Taiping sneered as she held the cup: "Why, is she a good one? She must have been the prince, yes, why has this palace forgotten that the good things in this world are all real, and real people He also loves to dismantle "Mandarin duck lovers regardless of the wishes of others."
The queen's face changed, but her anger was suppressed and he did not argue with the princess.
Her Majesty's sister, ever since she was forced to send her to marry, has been very bitter when she returned, but it was rumored that she had a sense of belonging before getting married, so she did not want to marry, but now it seems true.
alone...
Empress Lu looked Xi Liangmo in the eye of her, still a bit suspicious. If there is someone else in her heart, no matter how good the grades are, it will be a waste of not being able to help the prince with determination.
She couldn't help but sigh, she hesitated over her earlier choice of hers, wondering if she would call Princess Zhenmin for her to come make a comment. After all, she hadn't gotten a good look at this girl's appearance, so she looked at her from a distance that day. I think she's a good one.
Xi Liang Mo was sensitive to the Queen's gaze from a distance. She was relieved, knowing that her first goal had been achieved, she involuntarily bit her diamond lip and smiled maliciously.
Compared to a clever daughter-in-law who is not in the prince, and Princess Taiping is likely to secretly contribute to the flames, the empress should know how to choose her.
And this cunning smile suddenly made her mediocre makeup today vivid and intelligent, and the charm of a spirit that was different from the usual gentle and graceful or even ethereal when talking about Buddha, suddenly made the eyes of If Liufeng gleamed with surprise.
Suddenly, remembering today, she had come to select Prince Liangdi, and a certain corner of her heart suddenly twitched and there was a vague unhappiness.
Later, she realized that that kind of emotion is called jealousy.
At this moment, she just looked silently at the smile on the corner of her lips.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a slow sound of the piano near the empress. The sound of the piano is not loud. If there is no sound, it is very beautiful, like flowing water and the breeze. There is an elegance between the Yingge and the Yanyu. The taste, a fresh breath came out.
Most of the noble ladies who only wanted to please the prince and princes didn't notice, but the queen did, and she couldn't help but look towards that corner.
Of course, Xi Liang Mo had been paying attention to someone, and of course, she did not blurt out these small changes and immediately acted as if she was picking plums and sniffing, she shifted position and looked around the corner calmly.
Among the various colors of autumn chrysanthemums, there is a girl in a pale white jade lotus leaf palace dress gradually turning green, playing the piano quietly, her eyes are calm like water, she is not beautiful, but extremely elegant, she has not a lot of jewelry on her body, but pieces, they are all top-notch things, and the jade beads in her hair fall on her cheeks like turquoise jade beads, they are beautiful and elegant, and they are very calm and beautiful .
A gleam of compliment flickered in the queen's eyes, and she whispered to Aunt Nangong, "What lady is this?"
When Aunt Nangong saw him, she hesitated and said, "Niang Niang, why don't you recognize him? That's Xiliangxian, the lord of Duanyang County, who is the nephew of concubine Han. Originally it was planned to enter the palace to chose a concubine, but the last time she rewarded her. She surprised me during the lotus banquet ... "
The queen suddenly remembered, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she didn't feel happy when it could hurt the emperor.
alone...
The queen looked at Xiliangxian and was silent for a while, but she suddenly said, "Wait, I will call her to come from her and show her to this palace."
Aunt Nangong was shocked, then nodded and said yes.
The Great Princess Taiping on her side had already squeezed the teacup, and her eyes cold and gloomy from hers like an ice and snow tempered knife fiercely shot towards the unconscious Xiliangxian who was still proud of her.
Xiliangxian gently plucked the threads and looked at the queen calmly. He realized that the queen had noticed herself, so she immediately looked away, as if she appreciated the beauty of the autumn scenery, and lightly passed Xiliangmo's side. a trace of contempt and coldness.
Humph, she just said how this bitch could be so inactive. It turned out to be really cheeky that she still wanted to seduce the fourth sister's husband.
But she then she secretly laughed at those women who circled around the prince. They were so stupid that they couldn't even tell. Is the real decision in the hands of the queen, the crazy bees, the waves and the butterflies around the prince and them? It will only cause them the displeasure of the Empress Empress, what do these qualified women use to compete with her Immortal Xiliang?
She suddenly felt a cold look, but she didn't know where it came from, but she already felt that the prince noticed her here too, because the prince was turning around and looking at her!
Xiliangxian straightened her back even more and her posture became more and more demure, like a beautiful flower shining in water, gently touching the strings.
Si Chengqian noticed Xiliangxian, but not from the sound of her piano, but from the princess's gaze. He has been secretly paying attention to Princess Taiping. Her eyes are full of vigilance, even with a trace of disgust and… helplessness.
When Princess Taiping's eyes fell on the place where Xiliangxian was, he also naturally saw Xiliangxian, and also naturally noticed her graceful and beautiful appearance and her silent piano sound.
Beautiful things always attract people's eyes. The prince is naturally a human being. He also looked at Xiliangxian silently for a moment, and it was this moment that became Xiliangxian's last reminder!
Xi Liang Mo watched from a distance as Princess Taiping accidentally broke the porcelain bowl in her hand, and the malicious smile on her face deepened.
But I don't know, I turned my head and lowered my head to smell the plum blossoms, laughing beautifully, just like Li Qingzhao's poem "Little Lips": walking in shame, leaning on the door and looking back, but smelling the green. plum, a shy girl who has just started to love.
The handsome, rampant prince in front of him grew increasingly reluctant to tear his gaze away from her from her sweet, pretty face. In the end, he was surprised by the perfect girl who hadn't put her mind on her. Ignore other people.
Only the few girls who wanted to attract his attention were angry and embarrassed, looking at Xi Liang Mo with envy and jealousy.
In this treacherous and fluid atmosphere, Aunt Nangong's arrival broke the strange silence.
"Princess Zhenmin, Empress invites you to come forward."
Xi Liang Mo had already seen Xi Liang Dan bow and whisper beside the Queen, she too smiled and followed Aunt Nangong forward, averted her eyes and closely followed Si Liufeng, who was closely following her.
Under Aunt Nangong's guidance, she obediently blessed the queen: "The courtiers have seen the empress, and the empress is thousands of years old."
The queen's soft, smiling voice rang out above her head: "Princess Zhenmin is a smart and resourceful person. The last time I saw him from a distance and got your wonderful things. The palace only gave a reward but not yet. have you seen her, a closer look at you girl, please look up. "
Xiliang Mo said quietly, "The empress is rewarded, and serving the empress is only the duty of a minister."
After that, she raised her head, but her eyes were slightly drooping. According to the palace rules, she was not allowed to look directly at the empress.
But the moment she raised her head, she could only hear a "metallic sound", and the cup of tea in the queen's hand somehow touched the edge of the carved table and opened a gap.
She was a little scared, but she raised her eyes to meet the queen's face. The queen was still the face of the beautiful middle-aged woman before her, with a gentle and calm beauty, but at that moment she looked at her in shock, even with Xiliang Mo she couldn't help but feel a kind of horror. Could it be that there was something on her face?
But just for a moment, the empress lowered her expression, as if she had never used that kind of extreme smile, and ordered Aunt Nangong from one side: "Come here, go and change a purple sand tea set. painted gold. mugs. This inner building is getting worse and worse. If you understand, is it possible to use such a mug? Time to reprimand him. "
Although Aunt Nangong was also a bit lost, she did not know why her master suddenly had such a look, so she also smiled and told the people of the palace about it.
The Empress Empress seemed to lose her interest in Xi Liang Mo. She Every now and then she would see Xi Liang Mo's face, as if she hurriedly turned off her eyes, but Xi Liang Mo could read something called melancholy at that moment.
After her, the empress had a few words with her and then stopped talking to her. Instead, she spoke more to Xiliangxian. Xiliang Mo was also happy and calm, and she occasionally echoed the queen's praise to Xiliangxian. She used a lot. Her Time She went out to carefully study the peculiar reaction of the Empress Empress to her.
Although Xiliangxian was surprised that Xiliangmo was helping her speak, she was very proud of herself. She also saw that the empress's attitude towards Xiliangmo had changed drastically, but she did not know why, but it did not matter why it is what she would like to see.
Naturally, some people were unwilling to see that she had empress blue eyes. Princess Taiping looked at her coldly, her eyebrows seemed to be filled with cold clouds.
Xiliangxian did not know when she had offended this great princess. She also tried to show the princess a gentle and humble smile, but in exchange for the princess's increasingly contemptuous look, she was originally arrogant and arrogant. She simply turned her head to ignore the princess, and only spoke to the empress.
Such a move amounted to a provocation in the princess's eyes, and Taiping's eyes were filled with the dangerous atmosphere of mountains and rain.
Except for Xi Liang Mo, the only people present were Prince Si Chengqian, who was standing not far away, who seemed careless, but was paying attention to the situation here. He also noticed the princess's expression and raised his eyebrows. her.
Xiliangwu was also summoned like other girls who obtained the empress's blue eyes, but the empress only spoke to her for a few words and sent her away. She was so angry that Xiliangwu secretly stomped on her feet and cursed the fairy Xiliang two sisters are really Meizi fox! But also defenseless.
A palace banquet for the selection of Prince Liangdi ends in the treacherous atmosphere where the prince is alienated and cold, and the empress is distracted. According to the old rules, Prince Liangdi is not selected on the spot, but the ladies are sent home, awaiting the imperial edict.
Those who have not been summoned by the Empress naturally know that they will lose the election in all probability, but those who are summoned by the Empress are trying to find out what the queen and the prince do, every word and every act. , to judge his chances of becoming Prince Liangdi.
Among them, the proudest of all is Xiliangxian, the empress pays more attention to her, and her attitude is quite kind, and Xiliangmo is like a secondary role in this palace banquet.
The queen's attitude towards Xiliangxian naturally affected other noble ladies as well. Many people became enthusiastic about Xiliangxian again, and more of them released envy and jealousy, all of which made Xiliangxian feel anxious. Xian, proud in her heart, can almost imagine the pleasure of trampling self-loathing ones in the mud after becoming Prince Liangdi, especially Xiliang Mo.
So when Xi Liang Mo discovered that her carriage was broken and asked if he could let her ride in the same carriage, Xi Liangxian scoffed at her with disdain and arrogance, got into her carriage and left.
Xi Liang Mo looked at the back of his carriage that was receding into the sunset, showing a mischievous smile.
The carriage was walking slowly down Suzaku Street.
Xiliangxian was in a very good mood. After planning the future as the prince and queen, Xiliangxian with Honglian and Hongwu saw the harem scene, so she did not notice that the carriage was gradually entering a deserted alley.
Until the car came to a sudden stop, Xiliangxian accidentally collided behind the wall of the car.
Xiliangxian's face sank, and Honglian immediately raised the curtain and cursed the coachman outside: "Do you want Moris, how did you drive the car ...!"
Midway through the speech, after Gu Lian's body trembled, her voice disappeared.
Xi Liangxian frowned and patted Hong Lian on the shoulder. She knew that when she touched Hong Lian's shoulder, Hong Lian's body fell back limply, with a dart thrust into her forehead, stained with blood and a deadly face. Appearing in front of Xiliangxian and Hongwu, the two of them immediately screamed in horror.
When the brocade curtain on the car door was lifted, a large hand roughly grabbed two of them inside, and immediately grabbed Xiliangxian and Hongwu and got used to the ground.
Xiliangxian was spoiled. Wherever she suffered this sin, she hurt so much that she did not forget to bite her lip and look around her. He doesn't know when, they actually took her to such a small and dark alley, four or five dressed in plain green. Three and five fat men dressed in rough clothes surrounded the master and her servants.
The coachman was so scared that he squatted to one side and shuddered. A man with a knife smiled and suddenly cut himself. The coachman died without even shouting.
"You ... what are you ... the people ... dare to ... dare to hijack this county lord's car, in broad daylight, what do you want to do?" Xi Liangxian looked at the men in front of her in fear, but tried to show the prestige of the county owner tried to intimidate the other party.
Bearded Qiu Xu's boss sneered a few times: "Wang Fa, we are Wang Fa, come with me, Duanyang County Lord!"
After all, the two men in Tsing Yi couldn't help but advance with a sack each and put them under their heads and servants as their masters and servants, and threw them into another carriage.
"Woo ... let him go, what do you want to do ...!"
After the two masters and servants were installed, several people in Tsing Yi immediately got on the discreet blue cloth carriage and drove one by one. The blue cloth carriage left the alley, leaving only an empty carriage, and the maid and the coachman. who were killed.
The people of Tsing Yi drove the blue cloth carriage and finally stopped in front of a dark and isolated house that exuded the fragrance of luxury.
They jumped out of the car and put the two cloth bags in the house. A charming and beautiful woman in her forties but still dressed twisted her waist and said with a smile, "Oh, where is this again? New products I have sent to the room."
After waiting for the two turtles to approach to take over, the bearded head smiled at her, squeezing the woman's plump and slightly saggy breasts: "Come on, Linu, this is sent by my master, and he pointed out that it should take the majority of lower Guests, this is a two thousand silver taels cash ticket. No matter what she says, everyone must be satisfied, and the money to collect the guests will be hers. "
Linu was a bit surprised when she heard that he was the bearded teacher, and then he smiled and nodded: "Come on, he's the one who wants to punish someone, Linu save him!"
Linu is the prostitute more ruthless in this secret prostitution. She does all the things that kidnap men and sell women on weekdays. In addition to the ordinary kidnappings, she also specializes in a business, which consists of trading those beautiful and aristocratic kidnapped girls or teenagers. Some older women want to punish Humei's concubine, or conspire against other people in the family, they will come to her.
Not only did she give him money, but she also dared to accept these transactions.
After making a list, she immediately disappeared. Linu's ability to hide her whereabouts is extremely powerful. She herself is not weak even to the people below her. However, she cannot afford to catch them quickly, not to mention that she has a Those who wanted her to get revenge on her were also provided by the hostile forces in her family, so almost no one was able to catch her.
"What's wrong with you, he's not a young man yet, do you want to try it yourself first? Do you need medicine or something else?" The slave received the cash receipt, smiled, and patted the bearded customer on the shoulder with a fan. .
The bearded boy smiled, his eyes were filled with excitement, he rubbed his hands together and said, "That's what I mean, and Linu knows me!"
After all, Qiu Xu's guest led his subordinates to the room where Xiliangxian was being held.
Xiliangxian has been released from the sack, but his hands and feet are tied, looking at them in horror and rage: "What do you want to do, if you want money, let me go and I'll give it to you!" "
A man in Tsing Yi with a vertebral cap following Qiu Xuke suddenly stepped forward, he said involuntarily, holding the scabbard against Xiliangxian's face and struck viciously.
The sheath was extremely hard, and naturally it was painful to hit Xiliangxian's delicate face. "Ah ...!" Xiliangxian's screams suddenly echoed throughout the room.
But the man from Tsing Yi who was holding the sheath seemed not to be a martial artist, he gasped after a few blows and stopped the movements of his hands.
Xiliangxian spat out a mouthful of blood and two teeth, horrified and angry she looked at the man in Tsing Yi with a cone hat, enduring the pain and said, "Who are you ... you ... how did I offend you? You? "
Tsing Yi's man sneered and suddenly coldly said, "Duanyang County Lord Bing Qing Yujie is the number one talented woman in the capital. She can write excellent hairpins in lowercase letters and can do everything on piano. , chess, calligraphy and painting, so she thinks she can become a princess by virtue of these. Is she a woman? "
Xiliangxian thought of his heart as electricity, and secretly said in amazement, could it be that the people among those ladies today want to harm me? !
Tsing Yi's wife sneered, extremely contemptuous, and her voice was very malicious and horrible: "If you are no longer pure and jade, and can no longer write poems and inscriptions, what do you trust to seduce the prince, you shameless maid? , Everyone who dares to hook the crown prince? The maid is going to die! "
Xiliangxian wanted to speak, but the woman refused to give him a chance to speak. She turned her head and gave vicious instructions to her subordinates coldly: "This ice and jade Duanyang county lord, the first talented woman will be rewarded with you, don He is dead, he has yet to collect guests!"
Extreme emotion suddenly appeared in the eyes of the few Tsing Yi people who were waiting for Xiaoxu, and they enthusiastically walked towards Xiliangxian: "The county host, come, take off your clothes, the youngest will serve you very comfortably!"
Being able to play with those aloft, he would never look at them, the noble ladies of these inferior men, so the hearts of Xiaoxue and others were filled with cruel and tyrannical emotion.
As they said, they suddenly ran towards the trembling Xi Liangxian.
