Those years when I was Princess Yan
Chapter 51
"Prime Minister Hu shows his filial piety, and divides the festival?" Zhu Di asked Hu Weiyong indifferently.
Hu Weiyong sneered, and hurriedly cupped his hands to apologize to Zhu Di, "It's the old minister who is superficial, and it's far worse than King Yan Dunben went to China."
Hu Weiyong immediately expressed to the emperor and empress that Prince Yan's filial piety moved heaven and earth, and that he was indeed the most filial son in the world, and he should be rewarded.
Xu Qingqing couldn't help squinting at Hu Weiyong, this old man is indeed very bad.Raise doubts first, and after the doubts are refuted, they will start to praise and kill.
King Yan was not the only son of the empress, but also his two older brothers, King Qin and King Jin.Hu Weiyong's sentence "the most filial son in the world", where does the king of Qin and the king of Jin who are present be placed?
Xu Qingqing went to see King Qin and King Jin's reaction again, and the faces of both of them were really not very good.The point is that the focus of these two fools is not whether Hu Weiyong is picky, but why King Yan insisted on copying scriptures during the New Year's Eve to "stand out from the crowd", and compare them again.
At this moment, the empress only cares about the joy of her fourth son Xiaojing, but she fainted because of copying the filial piety scriptures. Naturally, she wanted to follow Hu Weiyong's words and wanted to praise Zhu Di.
Xu Qingqing felt that she was half responsible for the disaster. If she had told other lies instead of copying scriptures, she might not have the trouble she is in now.Of course, with Hu Weiyong's temperament, there is also the possibility that she will make other reasons and cause even greater disasters.
"The prince is cold-tempered, and he is not as easy-going and talkative as the prince, Qin Wang, Jin Wang and other brothers, so he copied the expression of the scriptures and expressed his apology. The prince's filial piety is not for the name, but for himself, what Prime Minister Hu said , let the prince lose his original intention."
At this time, no matter how Zhu Di himself explained it, it seemed inappropriate. On the contrary, as a wife who was watching from the sidelines, it was the most appropriate time.
Hu Weiyong did not expect that Xu Qingqing would interrupt at this time, not only explaining to King Yan frankly, but even daring to accuse him boldly.If it wasn't for their disagreement, Hu Weiyong really liked this girl a little bit. If his eldest son married her back as his daughter-in-law, he would be very satisfied, even if she was the daughter of his deadly enemy Xu Da, he wouldn't mind.
Xu Qingqing's explanation is perfect and considerate of the prince, Qin Wang and Jin Wang's three elder brothers' faces, not only dispelling Hu Weiyong's intention of killing, but also reminding everyone to notice that Hu Weiyong deliberately mentioned this matter, which seems to be suspected of sowing discord.
King Qin and King Jin both looked better, and realized that Hu Weiyong had other purposes, so they didn't bother about it anymore.
Hu Weiyong was directly criticized by Princess Yan, so he still had to apologize, "Because seeing the lord's filial piety, this old minister can't help but want to praise, this old minister really deserves to be slapped!"
Jin Wang Zhu Wei glanced at Hu Weiyong, and snorted, "Prime Minister Hu was joking, who questioned my fourth brother's copying of scriptures just after entering the palace? I didn't see you praising at that time."
"En." King Qin pursed his lips and echoed.
"The old minister really has this question in his heart. After the prince explained it, he realized that the old minister was superficial. He is not as filial and sincere as the prince of Yan. If he knows his mistakes and corrects them, the old minister wants to make amends, praise the king of Yan, and learn from him."
"Prime Minister Hu really has a good mouth, and he is very eloquent." Zhu Yan snorted again, his handsome eyes were crescent-shaped, and he smiled brightly and beautifully.
With his appearance, no one dared to doubt that what Zhu Yan said just now was sarcasm, although it sounded like his words were indeed sarcasm.
From the emperor's point of view, the king of Jin, Zhu Wei, really has no merits, except for being good-looking.Good looks are really useful, the third son either smiles or pretends to be pitiful and begs for mercy, and he tends to soften his heart.Who told this child to pick on all the strengths of him and Queen Ma, even the women are not as good-looking as him.Seeing him, the emperor was inexplicably happy, feeling that he was also handsome, otherwise how could he have such a beautiful son.
"The third one is right. Hu Qing seems to be targeting the fourth one today, huh?" The emperor changed his sitting position, looking lazy, but the eyes staring at Hu Weiyong were extremely sharp.
"I am wronged, I dare not." Hu Weiyong quickly knelt down in fear and apologized, "I also heard from Zhongcheng Bingmasi this morning that the residence of King Yan was on fire yesterday, and there was another assassin's sneak attack, so I was very worried. Thinking of it again When I went to visit King Yan yesterday, I saw that King Yan fainted because of copying scriptures, so I cared more about King Yan and asked a few more questions."
The emperor agreed, but his suspicions were not eliminated, and his eyes still looked dissatisfied when he looked at Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong hurriedly said again: "Your Majesty, in fact, I am a little strange in my heart. Lord Yan practiced martial arts every day, and he was mighty and brave. How could he faint because of staying up late for a few days? I was worried that Lord Yan had been killed the day before. People plotted to hide it because of physical damage, for fear that His Majesty and Empress would be worried."
After hearing Hu Weiyong's explanation, the emperor dispelled his doubts. He looked at Zhu Di and Xu Qingqing with concern, and asked them if they really had something to hide.
"There was indeed an assassin attack last night, but the fact that he fainted was caused by staying up late copying books." Zhu Di explained.
Xu Qingqing followed up and said: "This kind of fainting actually has little to do with physical strength. Some people are prone to dizziness when they wake up in the morning. The prince's dizziness is aggravated by staying up all night and forgetting to eat and sleep. It is even more serious. "
Xu Qingqing began to talk nonsense. In fact, it is true that a strong body is not prone to fainting caused by hypoglycemia.But there was no other way, facing Hu Weiyong's repeated difficulties, she could only use plausible words to perfuse her. Anyway, this was in ancient times, and there was no professional medical data to prove that her words were wrong.
"The fourth daughter-in-law's words are true. When I was young, wasn't my body better than now? But I often feel dizzy when I wake up in the morning. It is very possible that the fourth son will faint after staying up late for several days. Filial piety It's good, but you won't be allowed to do it like this in the future. Don't forget there is another saying, "Parents who receive your body, hair and skin." You must first take care of your body to be filial." Empress Ma instructed the disciples.
Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Xi hurriedly agreed.
"Your Majesty, the assassin is too rampant. First, he assassinated the prince in the street under the blue sky and broad daylight. Now he stabbed the residence of the prince at night and set fire to it." Hu Weiyong immediately asked the emperor to investigate the matter, and he was very angry. Escaped! I really don’t know what those guards are for, but let these thieves come and go freely in and out of the prince’s residence, and they can’t even catch a corner of his clothes!”
After hearing this, Xu Qingqing finally understood the purpose of Hu Weiyong's words. Before she could think about how to respond, the first emperor suddenly responded angrily. The responsibility of thousands of households.
It's a little dangerous now, no matter how you plead, if you can't change the fact that the 'assassin escaped', the emperor will think that Qiu Fu and other guards are useless and useless, and he will definitely not let them off lightly.
Xu Qingqing felt that this was her own fault again. Last night, in order to convince the scholar that she was really running away, she eloped with him. She specially asked Qiu Fu to arrange to burn a haystack.If Qiu Fu and others were implicated and convicted, Xu Qingqing would definitely feel guilty and sorry for them.If it's just demoting, make more compensation, and then promote later, it can still be saved.But if the emperor beheaded a few leaders in a fit of anger and died, then there would be no way to save them.
Seeing the emperor's furious posture, Xu Qingqing was very worried that it would be the latter. She was very anxious, but the more anxious she became, the more she couldn't think of a way out.
At this time, Zhu Di stepped out unhurriedly, and begged the emperor to appease his anger, "It was my son who deliberately asked them to let that small fish go back, in order to catch a big one."
Xu Qingqing sighed wonderfully when she heard King Yan's explanation, but also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Weiyong didn't show it on the surface, but he was proud in his heart earlier, thinking that he could at least make a stumbling block and make King Yan die a few of his confidant guards.But I never expected that King Yan's words would calm down the emperor's anger directly. Not only did he save the lives of the guards, but he also showed how wise he was in planning, which is really annoying!
Hu Weiyong was mad with anger, but he had to pretend to be calm, so that his eyes turned red.
In fact, the assassination made him very puzzled. He obviously didn't order to attack King Yan in the near future, how could there be a group of people who want to assassinate King Yan?In any case, everyone has the same goal, so there is no need to think so much.
Early in the morning, they discussed the matter of King Yan for a long time, but it was not good to waste any more time.The empress and the three princes gave a few words of advice and sent them off.
Xu Qingqing kept sending King Yan to the gate of Chengtian, told King Yan to take care of herself, and waved goodbye to him.
After Zhu Di got on his horse, he rode off without looking back.
On the contrary, when King Zhu of Jin left, he looked back every step of the way, and Princess Xie, the princess of Jin, was moved to tears.
But Xu Qingqing could see clearly that what Zhu Yan looked back at was not Jin Wangfei, but the maid beside Jin Wangfei, with an oval face, lovely almond eyes, high nose bridge, and her appearance was actually just ordinary good-looking, but she had a very good figure and breasts. Very big.Xu Qingqing glanced at it, and couldn't help but have the urge to rub it.
After receiving Zhu Bian's affectionate gaze, the maidservant shyly nodded halfway, her cheeks were flushed, and she raised her eyes to peek at Zhu Bian's direction from time to time.
The two exchanged eye contact for a long while, and by the way moved Xie Shi who was caught in the middle to such a mess that Zhu Yan reluctantly left.
As for Concubine Qin and King Qin Zhu Xi, this seemingly incompatible couple is naturally more straightforward than Xu Qingqing and King Yan. At any rate, Xu Qingqing gave an order before King Yan left, and King Yan agreed.After Concubine Qin dryly said goodbye, Zhu Xi didn't even look at her, and went directly as if her words didn't exist.
After the three princesses sent their husbands away, they returned to the palace together, preparing to meet the queen again.
Xie wiped her tears with a handkerchief, while showing a bit of complacency on her face, "Don't look at the prince who treats people indifferently, but when it's time to part, he will show affection, so he doesn't want to leave me, which makes me feel so sad. I’m still in pain right now.”
After saying that, Mrs. Xie looked at Xu Qingqing and Qin Wangfei, seeing that they were both looking at him in a daze, and shook their heads helplessly and sighed.
"Look at me, why am I telling you this. Look at how quickly the second brother and the fourth brother walked, you two naturally don't understand my mood." Xie sniffed and took a deep breath, patted her chest, I couldn't help laughing again.
After hearing Xie's sarcasm, Princess Qin couldn't help lowering her head, and walked forward depressed, unwilling to raise her head again.
Xu Qingqing didn't feel anything, but glanced at the oval-faced servant girl who was following behind Xie Shi. She was pursing her lips at this moment, with her hands folded in front of her body, and she was walking happily with a little joy. The spring is very obvious.
Xu Qingqing speculates about her mood, thinking that the relationship between her and King Jin is probably already done, and it is time for the glue to stick.It's hard for Mrs. Xie to be kept in the dark, and she is still being silly and happy now.I don't know how shocked and broken I will be when I know the truth.
But Xu Qingqing would not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, let alone intervene.With Xie's temperament, maybe if you tell her kindly, she will bite you back with ulterior motives and look at her jokes maliciously.
After arriving at Kunning Palace, Empress Ma smiled and took them to weave together, and asked them to do more similar work when the prince was away, to experience farming and mulberry, to maintain a simple life, and to not forget the basics.
Empress Ma ordered Mrs. Xie and Princess Qin to leave first, leaving Xu Qingqing alone, and called the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse.Knowing that she was less than a month pregnant, she was repeatedly told to avoid the cold and stay in bed more to protect the pregnancy.
"Forget about the weaving work, you are an exception." Empress Ma held Xu Qingqing's hand and asked her if she was pregnant for the first time and her husband was not by her side.
"A little bit, but not much." Xu Qingqing smiled cheerfully at Empress Ma, but directly diverted the serious topic that Empress Ma just brought up.
Empress Ma smiled helplessly: "You are a heartless girl, if Qing He knows that you don't miss him so much, she might be angry."
"No way, he was more straightforward than anyone else when he left just now." Xu Qingqing explained.
"How do you know that he didn't choose not to look at you because he was afraid of looking at you one more time and making it difficult to leave?" Queen Ma asked with a low laugh.
Xu Qingqing suddenly became confused, "Oh, so it can be understood in this way."
Empress Ma chuckled, and tapped Xu Qingqing's forehead, "It's not that it's so understandable, but that he is such a person. The days of your young couple together are still short, wait for you to spend a long time with him Once you know it, you will know that Qinghe is cold on the outside and hot on the inside."
"Last time, the old lady of Zhen Guo General's Mansion celebrated her birthday, and my daughter-in-law went there, and there I ate a delicious snack called abalone with bone."
Xu Qingqing paused when she said this, and nodded when she saw Queen Ma with a smile, saying that she had also tasted this dim sum, and it was indeed delicious.
"The first time I ate it, it was brought back by Qinghe."
"The old lady said that every time the prince went to Mu Mansion when he was a child, he liked to eat this snack the most, but this snack is sweet. The prince once told me that he doesn't like sweets."
Xu Qingqing wanted to try to find out the past of King Yan from Queen Ma's mouth.After all, the people in Prince Yan's Mansion are too strict with their mouths, no one is willing to speak.Originally thought that Xu Da would know, but in the end, he was busy in the South and North Wars for several years, and he didn't know what special experience King Yan had.
When Empress Ma heard Xu Qingqing's words, the smile on her face gradually faded, "People's tastes will always change. I didn't like coriander the least when I was a child, but now I prefer to eat it."
Xu Qingqing understood that Empress Ma didn't want to mention this matter.It seemed that she was going to start with someone else again.
"Qinghe was a very gentle child when he was a child. He could play with anyone and valued friendship. But how can there be so much real affection between people, let alone children who are uncertain."
Empress Ma sighed, served some tea, and said nothing more.
Empress Ma also told Xu Qingqing to stay at home and raise the fetus, and not to come to the palace if there is nothing to do, so as to avoid the bumpy carriage and unstable fetal image.The second is that I am afraid that an assassin will block the way again. Although the possibility of this is relatively low, it is better to stay at home just in case.
"Your Majesty, it's so boring for a daughter-in-law to be alone at home. I originally thought that if I stay in Beijing this time, I can often come to the palace to accompany you." Xu Qingqing said coquettishly.
"The days are long. If you are bored, I will ask Rong'er to accompany you. The second and third daughter-in-laws are fine, so you can call them. If there is your mother, you can go back and live for a while. Have fun. Yes She takes care of you, so I can rest assured."
Empress Ma did not keep Xu Qingqing in the palace, but there was a reason for it. Recently, something happened in the palace, a concubine was suspected of having an affair with a foreign minister, such a big matter naturally needs to be carefully investigated.Empress Ma naturally had no way to keep Xu Qingqing when such dirty things happened in the palace.
After Xu Qingqing obediently agreed, she resigned from Kunning Palace. When she came out, she met Princess Qin. She moved slowly, as if she wanted to go to Kunning Palace to find the queen, but was hesitant to go.
"Second sister-in-law has something on her mind?"
Princess Qin was startled when she saw Xu Qingqing, she quickly shook her head to express that nothing happened.She immediately walked towards the outside of the palace, took two steps and found something wrong, then turned back and asked Xu Qingqing if she was going out of the palace too, and they could be together.
"Second sister-in-law not only has something on her mind, but also a big one." Xu Qingqing took her arm and walked out together, "Just now the empress told me, if you feel bored, you can ask second sister-in-law to accompany me. How about second sister-in-law today Just go back home with me?"
Princess Qin glanced at Xu Qingqing and nodded, this time she did not hesitate much.
When the two were riding in the carriage together, Xu Qingqing asked Princess Qin why she was wandering outside Kunning Palace just now.
"I think the second sister-in-law is quite hesitant. If you can't make up your mind, why don't you tell me first, and I can help the second sister-in-law take a look?"
Concubine Qin glanced at Xu Qingqing hesitantly, then lowered her head deeply, grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, "I want...I want...to tell the empress, make peace."
Xu Qingqing was taking a sip of water when she suddenly heard the word 'Heli' and coughed so much that she hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Are the fourth siblings scared?" Qin Wangfei looked at Xu Qingqing, her eyes gradually turned red, "Since the day the fourth siblings met me, did they think that I was a bully and a coward, and they were cautious and timid in everything they did? Afraid of this or that?"
Xu Qingqing shook her head.
Princess Qin burst into tears, she took a deep breath slowly, "Why don't I want to live a dignified and lively life like my fourth sibling, third sister-in-law and elder sister-in-law. But I am the younger sister of the former prince, and this identity I'm tabooed by others, and I don't have a strong family like the fourth sibling to rely on. I have to be careful in everything I do, and I have to walk on thin ice even when I say a word. I don't want to live so useless, but do I have a choice!"
"So the second sister-in-law wants to reconcile because of this?" Xu Qingqing asked again tentatively.
Princess Qin nodded.
"Second sister-in-law should know that such a thing as reconciliation is almost impossible in the royal family. This is a huge scandal. Not to mention that the reason second sister-in-law said is not sufficient, it is not enough to make father and queen mother agree. It is a good reason, They won't let you reconcile either. Why does the second sister-in-law ask for trouble for herself, and provoke anger by saying such words in vain. If the emperor is upset, the second brother will definitely be reprimanded. If the second brother is unhappy, The second sister-in-law will only be more sad here." Xu Qingqing helped analyze.
Princess Qin nodded, indicating that she knew all of this.
"Since the second sister-in-law is a sensible person, why do she do stupid things?" Xu Qingqing asked back.
"It's just that I think it's better to die like this, and die with integrity." Princess Qin was crying with determination in her eyes.
"Second sister-in-law is naive. This is not to die with integrity, but to torture herself and commit suicide." Xu Qingqing patted Qin Wangfei's hand, telling her not to think too much for the time being, and to ease her emotions first.
Xu Qingqing felt that Qin Wangfei was a little impulsive now, and she probably thought that the farewell event this morning had stimulated her for some reason. In addition, she had accumulated grudges for many years, so she couldn't help but explode.
After returning home, Xu Qingqing wiped Concubine Qin's face with a wet handkerchief, let her taste two pieces of dessert, asked someone to boil the wine, and made fried meat for her to taste.Drinking and eating meat is refreshing, Qin Wangfei is half drunk, her cheeks are glowing, her suppressed emotions are relieved, and it is easier to express.
"Today, my brother and sister are the only two in the room, so we can talk about everything. I am just a pawn, a pawn for your majesty to win over my elder brother. Back then, when your majesty confronted my elder brother on the battlefield, he praised my elder brother for being a strange person. For my own use. Even if the country falls and becomes a defeated bandit, my eldest brother's temperament is not something ordinary people can handle. His Majesty ordered me to marry his second son as the concubine, just to appease and win over my eldest brother!
But I did get married, but my elder brother didn't live long.The King of Qin thought that I had barbarian blood flowing from my body, so he never waited to see me. His Majesty was even more sympathetic to his loss in marrying me, and specially chose Deng Cifei, who had an excellent background, for him.
Although I am a concubine, it is like a joke, just a display, not to mention comparing with concubine Deng, even the wives and concubines in the mansion.What's so good about it?Only during the New Year's Eve, when standing next to King Qin under the name of a concubine, she pretended to be good-looking and dignified for a while. "
Princess Qin sneered a few times, and leaned on the table with tears in her eyes to laugh at herself.
"I want to make trouble, I don't want to live anymore, it's better to make everyone feel uncomfortable before I die, I just want them to see who caused me to be like this!"
"What they can't see is your unreasonable troubles." Xu Qingqing wiped Princess Qin's tears with a veil, "but to be honest, it's not all them who caused you to be like this. The main reason is yourself, You made yourself like this now."
Princess Qin stood up straight after hearing this, "I've been watching coldly that my fourth siblings are different from them, and now even you—"
"Second sister-in-law, you are now the princess of King Qin, and you have said it yourself, only you are qualified to stand by King Qin's side during the New Year's Day. This honor is bestowed by the emperor, and no one else has it.
Since you are not even afraid of death, how can you be afraid that you will be sitting in the position of the concubine majestically, oppressing others?Who in the house dares to look down on you, who dares to go past you, and set up rules to deal with her.I don't believe that the emperor father and the empress mother would not even talk about this reason.
King Qin treats you badly, so let's not work around King Qin.Most people in this world don't live by the true love between men and women. Isn't it good to have status, money, glory and wealth?Whether it's the wine that doesn't taste good, or the meat that doesn't taste good, why should we care about the man's face! "
Qin Wangfei was already drunk, but she could still understand the matter, so she nodded and agreed with Xu Qingqing's words.
Xu Qingqing immediately asked someone to help Qin Wangfei to rest.She stretched, then turned around and entered the bedroom, only to see Zhu Di standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
Xu Qingqing was taken aback, "Wang... lord?"
The author has something to say: The pre-received article "I'm in Jail in Kaifeng Mansion" please bookmark it, poke the big fish column to see that it is about the heroine who has various skills after fast time travel, regains her life, opens her eyes, The story of a dog-headed guillotine serving in prison in Kaifeng Mansion.Not miserable, it belongs to the category of easy and funny + solving crimes
Hu Weiyong sneered, and hurriedly cupped his hands to apologize to Zhu Di, "It's the old minister who is superficial, and it's far worse than King Yan Dunben went to China."
Hu Weiyong immediately expressed to the emperor and empress that Prince Yan's filial piety moved heaven and earth, and that he was indeed the most filial son in the world, and he should be rewarded.
Xu Qingqing couldn't help squinting at Hu Weiyong, this old man is indeed very bad.Raise doubts first, and after the doubts are refuted, they will start to praise and kill.
King Yan was not the only son of the empress, but also his two older brothers, King Qin and King Jin.Hu Weiyong's sentence "the most filial son in the world", where does the king of Qin and the king of Jin who are present be placed?
Xu Qingqing went to see King Qin and King Jin's reaction again, and the faces of both of them were really not very good.The point is that the focus of these two fools is not whether Hu Weiyong is picky, but why King Yan insisted on copying scriptures during the New Year's Eve to "stand out from the crowd", and compare them again.

Hu Weiyong did not expect that Xu Qingqing would interrupt at this time, not only explaining to King Yan frankly, but even daring to accuse him boldly.If it wasn't for their disagreement, Hu Weiyong really liked this girl a little bit. If his eldest son married her back as his daughter-in-law, he would be very satisfied, even if she was the daughter of his deadly enemy Xu Da, he wouldn't mind.
Xu Qingqing's explanation is perfect and considerate of the prince, Qin Wang and Jin Wang's three elder brothers' faces, not only dispelling Hu Weiyong's intention of killing, but also reminding everyone to notice that Hu Weiyong deliberately mentioned this matter, which seems to be suspected of sowing discord.

"En." King Qin pursed his lips and echoed.

"The third one is right. Hu Qing seems to be targeting the fourth one today, huh?" The emperor changed his sitting position, looking lazy, but the eyes staring at Hu Weiyong were extremely sharp.
"I am wronged, I dare not." Hu Weiyong quickly knelt down in fear and apologized, "I also heard from Zhongcheng Bingmasi this morning that the residence of King Yan was on fire yesterday, and there was another assassin's sneak attack, so I was very worried. Thinking of it again When I went to visit King Yan yesterday, I saw that King Yan fainted because of copying scriptures, so I cared more about King Yan and asked a few more questions."
The emperor agreed, but his suspicions were not eliminated, and his eyes still looked dissatisfied when he looked at Hu Weiyong.

After hearing Hu Weiyong's explanation, the emperor dispelled his doubts. He looked at Zhu Di and Xu Qingqing with concern, and asked them if they really had something to hide.
"There was indeed an assassin attack last night, but the fact that he fainted was caused by staying up late copying books." Zhu Di explained.
Xu Qingqing followed up and said: "This kind of fainting actually has little to do with physical strength. Some people are prone to dizziness when they wake up in the morning. The prince's dizziness is aggravated by staying up all night and forgetting to eat and sleep. It is even more serious. "

Seeing the emperor's furious posture, Xu Qingqing was very worried that it would be the latter. She was very anxious, but the more anxious she became, the more she couldn't think of a way out.
At this time, Zhu Di stepped out unhurriedly, and begged the emperor to appease his anger, "It was my son who deliberately asked them to let that small fish go back, in order to catch a big one."
Xu Qingqing sighed wonderfully when she heard King Yan's explanation, but also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Weiyong didn't show it on the surface, but he was proud in his heart earlier, thinking that he could at least make a stumbling block and make King Yan die a few of his confidant guards.But I never expected that King Yan's words would calm down the emperor's anger directly. Not only did he save the lives of the guards, but he also showed how wise he was in planning, which is really annoying!
Hu Weiyong was mad with anger, but he had to pretend to be calm, so that his eyes turned red.
In fact, the assassination made him very puzzled. He obviously didn't order to attack King Yan in the near future, how could there be a group of people who want to assassinate King Yan?In any case, everyone has the same goal, so there is no need to think so much.
Early in the morning, they discussed the matter of King Yan for a long time, but it was not good to waste any more time.The empress and the three princes gave a few words of advice and sent them off.
Xu Qingqing kept sending King Yan to the gate of Chengtian, told King Yan to take care of herself, and waved goodbye to him.
After Zhu Di got on his horse, he rode off without looking back.
On the contrary, when King Zhu of Jin left, he looked back every step of the way, and Princess Xie, the princess of Jin, was moved to tears.
But Xu Qingqing could see clearly that what Zhu Yan looked back at was not Jin Wangfei, but the maid beside Jin Wangfei, with an oval face, lovely almond eyes, high nose bridge, and her appearance was actually just ordinary good-looking, but she had a very good figure and breasts. Very big.Xu Qingqing glanced at it, and couldn't help but have the urge to rub it.
After receiving Zhu Bian's affectionate gaze, the maidservant shyly nodded halfway, her cheeks were flushed, and she raised her eyes to peek at Zhu Bian's direction from time to time.
The two exchanged eye contact for a long while, and by the way moved Xie Shi who was caught in the middle to such a mess that Zhu Yan reluctantly left.
As for Concubine Qin and King Qin Zhu Xi, this seemingly incompatible couple is naturally more straightforward than Xu Qingqing and King Yan. At any rate, Xu Qingqing gave an order before King Yan left, and King Yan agreed.After Concubine Qin dryly said goodbye, Zhu Xi didn't even look at her, and went directly as if her words didn't exist.
After the three princesses sent their husbands away, they returned to the palace together, preparing to meet the queen again.
Xie wiped her tears with a handkerchief, while showing a bit of complacency on her face, "Don't look at the prince who treats people indifferently, but when it's time to part, he will show affection, so he doesn't want to leave me, which makes me feel so sad. I’m still in pain right now.”
After saying that, Mrs. Xie looked at Xu Qingqing and Qin Wangfei, seeing that they were both looking at him in a daze, and shook their heads helplessly and sighed.
"Look at me, why am I telling you this. Look at how quickly the second brother and the fourth brother walked, you two naturally don't understand my mood." Xie sniffed and took a deep breath, patted her chest, I couldn't help laughing again.
After hearing Xie's sarcasm, Princess Qin couldn't help lowering her head, and walked forward depressed, unwilling to raise her head again.
Xu Qingqing didn't feel anything, but glanced at the oval-faced servant girl who was following behind Xie Shi. She was pursing her lips at this moment, with her hands folded in front of her body, and she was walking happily with a little joy. The spring is very obvious.
Xu Qingqing speculates about her mood, thinking that the relationship between her and King Jin is probably already done, and it is time for the glue to stick.It's hard for Mrs. Xie to be kept in the dark, and she is still being silly and happy now.I don't know how shocked and broken I will be when I know the truth.
But Xu Qingqing would not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, let alone intervene.With Xie's temperament, maybe if you tell her kindly, she will bite you back with ulterior motives and look at her jokes maliciously.
After arriving at Kunning Palace, Empress Ma smiled and took them to weave together, and asked them to do more similar work when the prince was away, to experience farming and mulberry, to maintain a simple life, and to not forget the basics.
Empress Ma ordered Mrs. Xie and Princess Qin to leave first, leaving Xu Qingqing alone, and called the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse.Knowing that she was less than a month pregnant, she was repeatedly told to avoid the cold and stay in bed more to protect the pregnancy.
"Forget about the weaving work, you are an exception." Empress Ma held Xu Qingqing's hand and asked her if she was pregnant for the first time and her husband was not by her side.
"A little bit, but not much." Xu Qingqing smiled cheerfully at Empress Ma, but directly diverted the serious topic that Empress Ma just brought up.
Empress Ma smiled helplessly: "You are a heartless girl, if Qing He knows that you don't miss him so much, she might be angry."
"No way, he was more straightforward than anyone else when he left just now." Xu Qingqing explained.
"How do you know that he didn't choose not to look at you because he was afraid of looking at you one more time and making it difficult to leave?" Queen Ma asked with a low laugh.
Xu Qingqing suddenly became confused, "Oh, so it can be understood in this way."
Empress Ma chuckled, and tapped Xu Qingqing's forehead, "It's not that it's so understandable, but that he is such a person. The days of your young couple together are still short, wait for you to spend a long time with him Once you know it, you will know that Qinghe is cold on the outside and hot on the inside."
"Last time, the old lady of Zhen Guo General's Mansion celebrated her birthday, and my daughter-in-law went there, and there I ate a delicious snack called abalone with bone."
Xu Qingqing paused when she said this, and nodded when she saw Queen Ma with a smile, saying that she had also tasted this dim sum, and it was indeed delicious.
"The first time I ate it, it was brought back by Qinghe."
"The old lady said that every time the prince went to Mu Mansion when he was a child, he liked to eat this snack the most, but this snack is sweet. The prince once told me that he doesn't like sweets."
Xu Qingqing wanted to try to find out the past of King Yan from Queen Ma's mouth.After all, the people in Prince Yan's Mansion are too strict with their mouths, no one is willing to speak.Originally thought that Xu Da would know, but in the end, he was busy in the South and North Wars for several years, and he didn't know what special experience King Yan had.
When Empress Ma heard Xu Qingqing's words, the smile on her face gradually faded, "People's tastes will always change. I didn't like coriander the least when I was a child, but now I prefer to eat it."
Xu Qingqing understood that Empress Ma didn't want to mention this matter.It seemed that she was going to start with someone else again.
"Qinghe was a very gentle child when he was a child. He could play with anyone and valued friendship. But how can there be so much real affection between people, let alone children who are uncertain."
Empress Ma sighed, served some tea, and said nothing more.
Empress Ma also told Xu Qingqing to stay at home and raise the fetus, and not to come to the palace if there is nothing to do, so as to avoid the bumpy carriage and unstable fetal image.The second is that I am afraid that an assassin will block the way again. Although the possibility of this is relatively low, it is better to stay at home just in case.
"Your Majesty, it's so boring for a daughter-in-law to be alone at home. I originally thought that if I stay in Beijing this time, I can often come to the palace to accompany you." Xu Qingqing said coquettishly.
"The days are long. If you are bored, I will ask Rong'er to accompany you. The second and third daughter-in-laws are fine, so you can call them. If there is your mother, you can go back and live for a while. Have fun. Yes She takes care of you, so I can rest assured."
Empress Ma did not keep Xu Qingqing in the palace, but there was a reason for it. Recently, something happened in the palace, a concubine was suspected of having an affair with a foreign minister, such a big matter naturally needs to be carefully investigated.Empress Ma naturally had no way to keep Xu Qingqing when such dirty things happened in the palace.
After Xu Qingqing obediently agreed, she resigned from Kunning Palace. When she came out, she met Princess Qin. She moved slowly, as if she wanted to go to Kunning Palace to find the queen, but was hesitant to go.
"Second sister-in-law has something on her mind?"
Princess Qin was startled when she saw Xu Qingqing, she quickly shook her head to express that nothing happened.She immediately walked towards the outside of the palace, took two steps and found something wrong, then turned back and asked Xu Qingqing if she was going out of the palace too, and they could be together.
"Second sister-in-law not only has something on her mind, but also a big one." Xu Qingqing took her arm and walked out together, "Just now the empress told me, if you feel bored, you can ask second sister-in-law to accompany me. How about second sister-in-law today Just go back home with me?"
Princess Qin glanced at Xu Qingqing and nodded, this time she did not hesitate much.
When the two were riding in the carriage together, Xu Qingqing asked Princess Qin why she was wandering outside Kunning Palace just now.
"I think the second sister-in-law is quite hesitant. If you can't make up your mind, why don't you tell me first, and I can help the second sister-in-law take a look?"
Concubine Qin glanced at Xu Qingqing hesitantly, then lowered her head deeply, grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, "I want...I want...to tell the empress, make peace."
Xu Qingqing was taking a sip of water when she suddenly heard the word 'Heli' and coughed so much that she hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Are the fourth siblings scared?" Qin Wangfei looked at Xu Qingqing, her eyes gradually turned red, "Since the day the fourth siblings met me, did they think that I was a bully and a coward, and they were cautious and timid in everything they did? Afraid of this or that?"
Xu Qingqing shook her head.
Princess Qin burst into tears, she took a deep breath slowly, "Why don't I want to live a dignified and lively life like my fourth sibling, third sister-in-law and elder sister-in-law. But I am the younger sister of the former prince, and this identity I'm tabooed by others, and I don't have a strong family like the fourth sibling to rely on. I have to be careful in everything I do, and I have to walk on thin ice even when I say a word. I don't want to live so useless, but do I have a choice!"
"So the second sister-in-law wants to reconcile because of this?" Xu Qingqing asked again tentatively.
Princess Qin nodded.
"Second sister-in-law should know that such a thing as reconciliation is almost impossible in the royal family. This is a huge scandal. Not to mention that the reason second sister-in-law said is not sufficient, it is not enough to make father and queen mother agree. It is a good reason, They won't let you reconcile either. Why does the second sister-in-law ask for trouble for herself, and provoke anger by saying such words in vain. If the emperor is upset, the second brother will definitely be reprimanded. If the second brother is unhappy, The second sister-in-law will only be more sad here." Xu Qingqing helped analyze.
Princess Qin nodded, indicating that she knew all of this.
"Since the second sister-in-law is a sensible person, why do she do stupid things?" Xu Qingqing asked back.
"It's just that I think it's better to die like this, and die with integrity." Princess Qin was crying with determination in her eyes.
"Second sister-in-law is naive. This is not to die with integrity, but to torture herself and commit suicide." Xu Qingqing patted Qin Wangfei's hand, telling her not to think too much for the time being, and to ease her emotions first.
Xu Qingqing felt that Qin Wangfei was a little impulsive now, and she probably thought that the farewell event this morning had stimulated her for some reason. In addition, she had accumulated grudges for many years, so she couldn't help but explode.
After returning home, Xu Qingqing wiped Concubine Qin's face with a wet handkerchief, let her taste two pieces of dessert, asked someone to boil the wine, and made fried meat for her to taste.Drinking and eating meat is refreshing, Qin Wangfei is half drunk, her cheeks are glowing, her suppressed emotions are relieved, and it is easier to express.
"Today, my brother and sister are the only two in the room, so we can talk about everything. I am just a pawn, a pawn for your majesty to win over my elder brother. Back then, when your majesty confronted my elder brother on the battlefield, he praised my elder brother for being a strange person. For my own use. Even if the country falls and becomes a defeated bandit, my eldest brother's temperament is not something ordinary people can handle. His Majesty ordered me to marry his second son as the concubine, just to appease and win over my eldest brother!
But I did get married, but my elder brother didn't live long.The King of Qin thought that I had barbarian blood flowing from my body, so he never waited to see me. His Majesty was even more sympathetic to his loss in marrying me, and specially chose Deng Cifei, who had an excellent background, for him.
Although I am a concubine, it is like a joke, just a display, not to mention comparing with concubine Deng, even the wives and concubines in the mansion.What's so good about it?Only during the New Year's Eve, when standing next to King Qin under the name of a concubine, she pretended to be good-looking and dignified for a while. "
Princess Qin sneered a few times, and leaned on the table with tears in her eyes to laugh at herself.
"I want to make trouble, I don't want to live anymore, it's better to make everyone feel uncomfortable before I die, I just want them to see who caused me to be like this!"
"What they can't see is your unreasonable troubles." Xu Qingqing wiped Princess Qin's tears with a veil, "but to be honest, it's not all them who caused you to be like this. The main reason is yourself, You made yourself like this now."
Princess Qin stood up straight after hearing this, "I've been watching coldly that my fourth siblings are different from them, and now even you—"
"Second sister-in-law, you are now the princess of King Qin, and you have said it yourself, only you are qualified to stand by King Qin's side during the New Year's Day. This honor is bestowed by the emperor, and no one else has it.
Since you are not even afraid of death, how can you be afraid that you will be sitting in the position of the concubine majestically, oppressing others?Who in the house dares to look down on you, who dares to go past you, and set up rules to deal with her.I don't believe that the emperor father and the empress mother would not even talk about this reason.
King Qin treats you badly, so let's not work around King Qin.Most people in this world don't live by the true love between men and women. Isn't it good to have status, money, glory and wealth?Whether it's the wine that doesn't taste good, or the meat that doesn't taste good, why should we care about the man's face! "
Qin Wangfei was already drunk, but she could still understand the matter, so she nodded and agreed with Xu Qingqing's words.
Xu Qingqing immediately asked someone to help Qin Wangfei to rest.She stretched, then turned around and entered the bedroom, only to see Zhu Di standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
Xu Qingqing was taken aback, "Wang... lord?"
