Zhi Xuan

Leaving the Prince's Mansion, Yuan Tao has been thinking all the way, whether it is good or bad to enter the palace today.

Before leaving the mansion, she secretly sent a maid to contact the army of soldiers stationed in the city, so that the other party would be prepared, and if something went wrong, she would immediately act accordingly.

It wasn't because she was worrying unfoundedly, it was because what happened today was too sudden and strange.The Queen usually doesn't summon her, but wants to see her when Wang Zihuai and Mrs. Ji are not there, and the people come in a hurry, how can it not make people think too much.

Although she has the confidence to deal with it, she is not afraid of anything but just in case, and there is no big mistake in being cautious.It turned out to be a false alarm afterwards, and it was better than stepping into a trap unsuspecting.

The bullock carts passed through the long street, and the maids and servants followed on both sides.According to the regulations of the prince's side wife, ten guards accompanied the car, all wearing half armor, holding spears, and the tip of the spears was wrapped in cloth, which was more important in formal etiquette than force deterrence.

Because of Yuantao's special status, the carriage is not a totem of the royal family, but a divine bird pattern representing Yuan's family. It shines brightly in the sun, making it easy for people to distinguish.As long as he is not pretending not to know, he will take the initiative to get out of the way, so as not to bump into this young lady and offend the Yuan family who is in the limelight.

The driver waved the reins, and the steer shook its huge horns, which were decorated with copper ornaments, like two huge scimitars, which chilled people's hearts.

Five powerful maids were sitting outside the carriage. The corners of their skirts were three inches shorter than normal, and leather boots could be seen under their skirts.There is a cloth-covered leather belt around the waist, and the belt is inlaid with iron rings.On the surface, it looks like decoration, but when straightened, it becomes a sharp blade, which can kill people at any time.

The team moved forward all the way, getting closer and closer to the palace.

After passing the long street where the clan is located, there is no incident along the way.Passing by the square where the prince lived, a sudden change occurred.

An ox cart lay in the middle of the road, the bullocks pulling the cart fell to the ground, the wooden wheel on one side of the cart was broken, the driver disappeared, and the servants and servants were in a mess, skillfully blocking the road to the palace.

The attendant in the car asked Yuan Tao for instructions, and took the initiative to negotiate.I don't want the other party not only to refuse to move out of the way, but also deliberately quarreling, even pushing and shoving, it seems that the other party is determined to block the way.

Yuan Tao pushed open the window and stared at the chaos in front of him.

The ox cart on the opposite side has the logo of the Prince's Mansion, and the maid who serves beside the cart wears a blue belt.Looking at the opened carriage again, the person sitting in it was none other than Liang Shi who had met once.

Compared with the last time we met, Mrs. Liang was much haggard, her proud appearance was weakened by three points, her body was full of gloom and hostility, and her gaze towards Yuan Tao was full of hatred.

It is not difficult to understand her mood.

In a national war, the Xiyuan Kingdom won a big victory and won half of the Dongliang Kingdom.As the daughter of the Yuan family, Yuan Tao's status has risen.Even if she deliberately avoided the limelight and kept a low profile, she couldn't hide the beauty on her body.

Mrs. Liang is just the opposite.

As a daughter of the Liang family, her father was the Marquis of Dongliang, and she married into the Prince's Mansion. She has also been prosperous for many years.Even if she is not the wife, with the Marquis of Dongliang as her backer, no one dares to underestimate her, and there are always a lot of flattery and compliments.

The arrival of Yuan Tao took away her glory.

Ever since Yuan Tao entered Zhongdu City, everything she was proud of had been turned into a joke.

After this national war, Dongliang's national power was weakened, Dongliang Hou died of a sudden illness, Shi Ziba inherited the throne, let Xi Yuanhou step on his face, and surrendered half of the country.

Mrs. Liang was shocked when she got the news, and she repeatedly confirmed that it was not false, and she fell into a rage.

She not only hates Marquis Xiyuan, but also Shi Ziba.The two were far away in the sky, and this anger had no way to vent, so it naturally targeted Yuan Tao.

Before, Yuan Tao stayed behind closed doors and did not attend the banquet, which made her unable to find a chance.

News came out from the palace that the queen summoned Yuan Tao, but Wang Zihuai and Mrs. Ji were not there, so she went alone.Madam Liang was both jealous and hated, she gritted her teeth and showed a grin, her heart was full of cruelty.

No matter who sent the news, and no matter what the other party's intentions were, she didn't want to think about it, she just wanted to teach Yuan Tao a lesson.

Anger was burning in her heart, her reason was covered by resentment, she just wanted to tear off Yuan Tao's face, let her kneel at her feet, and become the laughing stock of Zhongducheng.It would be best to involve the Marquis of Xiyuan, and let the countries take a look, the dignified Yuan family is nothing more than that.

This idea is absurd, and even a little political common sense will find it absurd, and it is completely whimsical.What's more, if the motive of the messenger is not clear, it is very likely to be used by the other party to become a rafter or even a scapegoat.

It's a pity that Mrs. Liang was blinded by hatred and insisted on going her own way, without considering the consequences when she did it.

She did not accept the persuasion of the servant, let alone report to Madam Xiang, instead she dismissed the servant.In order to prevent him from leaking the news, he ordered someone to guard him, and he was running wildly on the road to death.

It happened by coincidence that Mrs. Xiang was not in the mansion, and she was summoned by the family like Mrs. Ji, so she might not be able to return before sunset.

The other side lady noticed Mrs. Liang's movements and chose to remain silent after deliberation.Why should she stop someone who wants to die.Not to mention the thankless effort, it will cause a lot of trouble afterwards, and may even be bitten back.It's better to sweep the snow in front of the door and let it do what it wants.

Mrs. Liang thought hard to come up with a plan and made the arrangements herself, very proud.But the way she came up with was just to block the way, and she blocked it very unwisely, so that people could see the purpose behind it at a glance.

Mrs. Side watched coldly, and she couldn't help being stunned when she learned that this was all there was to it.

She knew that Mrs. Liang was stupid, but she didn't expect to be so stupid.But being stupid also has its advantages. At least there was no such thing as an assassination, so it wouldn't make the truth unresolved.

The madam pondered for a long time, considering the current situation of the prince, she couldn't let go completely after all, and ordered the servant: "Send a letter to Madam, just tell what Liang Shi has done, don't say anything extra."

"promise!"

As Mrs. Fang expected, when she saw the vehicles blocking the road and guessed Liang's intentions, Yuan Tao was speechless, her expression was indescribable.

The last time she went to a banquet, her impression of Mrs. Liang was that she was beautiful and brainless.Looking at it now, she was right.According to the elder brother's words, he is so stupid that there is no cure, so he can only give up treatment.

It is useless to reason with such a person.The way they think about problems is not at the same level as normal people.I don't want to be entangled with nonsense, so I can only give up reasoning, do my best, and reduce ten meetings with one effort.

Yuan Tao pinched the center of her eyebrows, called her maid, pointed to the ox cart blocking the way, and said, "Move away."

"promise!"

The two maidservants jumped out of the ox cart, picked up the corners of their skirts and tucked them around their waists, and walked to the front of the cart.He easily waved away the maidservants who were trying to intercept him, each fisted their fists, their knuckles clicked, and shook their necks twice at the same time, standing half a head taller than the guards beside the car.

"Young lady has orders, make way!"

After saying that, a maidservant ignored the shoving and exclamation, grabbed the steer by the horns, untied the reins from the steer's back, shouted, lifted the weight of several hundred catties from the ground, and dragged it straight to the side of the road.

The other person walked around the carriage, grabbed the axle of the missing wooden wheel under Mrs. Liang's horrified gaze, carried it directly on his shoulders, and sent him and the car aside, clearing the road smoothly.

Madam Liang sat in the car, completely in a daze, and even forgot her anger.My mind is full of thoughts such as "where am I", "what just happened" and "did I dream".

The maids and waiters beside the car were all dazed, and stood there blankly, not knowing how to react at all.Should I be reprimanded? What should I do if I am caught and thrown?

The guards beside the car looked at themselves, then at the maid who was as strong as a hill, none of them dared to step forward, they cleverly moved out of the way, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

The maid moved away the two biggest obstacles, kicked the broken wheel with both feet, saluted in Madam Liang's direction, swaggered back and returned to her command.

They might as well be rude.

This kind of posture clearly looks down on the other party, but it makes people unable to argue, let alone have the attitude to explode.

Mrs. Liang's face was ashen, she rushed out of the car and pointed at Yuan Tao angrily, her whole body was shaking, she was too angry to speak.

Yuan Tao gave the order to move forward, without even looking at her, let alone doing superficial tricks.

If it was the Daliang family in the palace, she might pay attention.If it was the one in front of her, it would be a waste of time to argue with her, she is not worthy.

Contemptuous ignorance hurts more than scolding.

Seeing Yuan Tao's car drive by, Mrs. Liang couldn't say a word, but finally rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.

Before Yuan Tao entered the palace, this scene was heard by the queen.

The waiter described the scene vividly, and even imitated the tone and demeanor vividly.

The queen leaned on the couch, and when she heard Mrs. Liang faint, she couldn't help but sneered: "Stupid, it's far worse than the one in the palace."

The waiter didn't make a sound, and stepped aside after saluting.

An elderly maidservant brought honey water and said hesitantly, "Master, if this matter gets out, the prince may be troubled."

"So what? People are chosen by him, and he has to accept them." The queen sat up, took a sip of the honey water, "I gave birth to them, I taught what should be taught, and what should be given I also gave it. The road under my feet is walked by myself, and the consequences must be followed by myself.”

The maid hesitated to speak, but when she saw the stern look in the queen's eyes, her heart froze and she dared not speak any more.

The queen squinted her eyes, with the tails of her eyes slightly raised, revealing her glamorous look.

She has four sons, and no matter who wins out in the end, she is destined to be the Queen Mother.Others see the prince as noble, but in her eyes they are all the same, and there is no such thing as suppressing the other for the sake of one.After spending that amount of thought, I was really full, and I was looking for trouble when I had nothing to do.

Summoning Yuan Tao today was a temporary idea, without any evil intentions.Some things are just a coincidence, not a deliberate one.

Being speculated and misinterpreted, she didn't bother to explain.The palace is usually boring, and it is also fun to watch some people jump up and down.

But Yuan Tao gave her a surprise.She likes this kind of character, no less than Ji Shi.

Thinking of this, the Queen raised the corners of her lips. In terms of marriage, Huai is the smartest one.Looking at his changes these days, he probably can't pretend anymore, and doesn't want to pretend anymore.

"Alright." The queen put down the jade lamp and ordered, "Take two sets of jade ornaments and choose a style that suits the little girl. Then go to Mrs. Liang to reward her with ten sticks. As an aunt, she cannot absolve herself of the blame for her niece causing trouble. "

"promise!"
