Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 100
The days passed quietly, and finally came the day when I entered the palace to see the queen. In front of the bronze mirror, Princess Qing gently tidied up Jiang Xiaolou’s makeup and smiled and said: “I will go to the old princess later, no matter what she says, just ignore it.”
Princess Qing’s eyes were a little moist, and the expression on Jiang Xiaolou was particularly gentle. It was obvious that she thought of her own daughter. Jiang Xiaolou pretended to be unaware, but chuckled: “Please rest assured, I will not embarrass the princess. ”
Princess Qing sighed, but she held her hand with a slight sweat in her palm: “Don’t call me the princess, call me mother, just like Cher! You are her sister to worship, just be with me. There is no difference between my daughter. If Cher is still there, she will definitely hope that we get along like a mother and daughter.”
Seeing the princess with tears in her eyes and a warm expression, Jiang Xiaolou nodded softly, with a smile: “Yes. Mother.”
“Good boy.” Princess Qing’s tears fell unknowingly, and she quickly wiped away her face.
Jiang Xiaolou just watched quietly, suddenly stood up, and moved lightly in a circle: “Mother, is my dress appropriate?”
Jiang Xiaolou likes plain colors on weekdays, and the closet is full of soft blue, green, and mint dresses. Today, it is rare to choose a slightly bright goose yellow dress, which looks more youthful and charming.
Princess Qing was quickly transferred to her attention, and she carefully examined it for a moment before she said: “Girls still have to be more gorgeous. The queens don’t like to wear them too plain. It’s better to change the goose yellow clothes to begonia red, which is the queen’s favorite. The color. She used to tell the maids around her to wear them to her. She would be very happy to see you dress like this.”
Jiang Xiaolou nodded, and Yiyan changed the goose yellow dress on his body and replaced it with a begonia red spring shirt. Princess Qing ordered someone to fetch a pearly belt with nine-color jewels strung on it, which looked glorious. At this time, the golden morning light had just appeared on the horizon, and the faint light from the horizon illuminated her whole body, and the hemlines of the beautiful skirts slowly hung down like ripples.
Princess Qing glanced out the window and said softly: “It’s getting late. Let’s rush into the palace. Let’s go to the old princess first.”
When arriving at the old princess’s yard, the maidservant opened the curtain cautiously, and princess Qing and Jiang Xiaolou entered one after another. The old princess leaned on the autumn-scented pillow with a string of beads in her hand. A Tsing Yi maid was hanging her head and holding her breath, gently tapping her knee with a mallet. There was also a maid holding a tray properly. The tray contained a dozen bright oranges. The smell of oranges was very clear, which added a three-point fragrance to the original quaint and old house.
The old princess did not lift her eyelids, and said indifferently, “Is this going to the palace?”
Princess Qing lowered her head and whispered: “Yes, mother.”
The old concubine snorted coldly, raising her eyes and looking at Jiang Xiaolou, “It’s so bold to even dare to take it to the empress without being trained by the old mother.”
Princess Qing smiled: “You don’t know, Xiaolou’s manners are impeccable, not inferior to those wealthy daughters. Don’t worry, mother, she won’t be ashamed of Qing Palace.”
The prayer beads in the hands of the old princess clicked and sneered: “Oh, are you sure?”
Princess Qing nodded without hesitation, her voice categorically: “I’m sure.”
Only then did the old princess cast her gaze on Jiang Xiaolou completely, and looked at her carefully. This begonia-red spring shirt lining her whole body is beautiful and exquisite, and with the clear and charming eyes, it can be breathtaking without knowing it. The old princess sighed deeply and lowered her eyes and said, “The appearance is good, but if you lose courtesy in front of the empress, I can’t spare you when you come back.”
This is very serious, but it can be used as a reminder. Because the other party’s sternness contained a trace of lukewarm care, although it was only a little bit, Jiang Xiaolou could distinguish good from bad.
Jiang Xiaolou just smiled: “Yes, don’t worry.”
After coming out of the room, Princess Qing slowly breathed a sigh of relief: “Today she didn’t embarrass us too much, it’s not surprising.”
There was a slight smile on Jiang Xiaolou’s lips. Although the old princess was a stern person, she did not dislike princess Qing as much as she thought. Imagine that even if there is a queen woman, the last person in charge of the palace is the old princess. Qing princess has a weak temperament and poor methods. To this day, she is still sitting in this position, which proves that the old princess is not so cruel and ruthless.
Jiang Xiaolou glanced back at the curtain and blinked: “Mother, the old princess is just a hard-talking, a little harsh.”
“She doesn’t just look stern, she can be said to be mean. When I first walked in, she called me to set the rules almost every day. She has been standing up for ten years. She has been in low spirits in recent years. Just let me go. But because I feel that I am unlucky, I will do everything possible to find faults, which is really annoying.”
Princess Qing made Jiang Xiaolou amused by her childish complaints. Her expression was gentle and honest: “Mother, sometimes you can’t look at the surface. You see, the concubine Shun is pure, gentle, considerate, considerate and generous, but what about her behavior? Look at the old princess, although she always has a straight face, but in fact she did not really feel sorry for us. Thinking about Xiaozhu’s affairs, she is afraid that she knows it in her heart and does something. If she forcibly wants to Xiaozhu asks to go back, can you stop the princess?”
Princess Qing was taken aback: “You mean she—probably not. If she was really good for me, she should have told me everything. Why cover up for those people.”
Jiang Xiaolou chuckled: “Even though the old princess is getting older, she understands it very well in her heart. She let Xiaozhu out to her mother to you, only to show that she has a vague understanding of Xue Ning’s death heart, but for some reason. I can’t intervene to stop it, I feel bored and uncomfortable, my heart is really contradictory, and my words and deeds seem very strange.” Not everyone in this world is unscrupulous, especially the older the old princess is, the more he cares about the imaginary things of family reputation , If she wants to take the initiative to remind her, I’m afraid it can’t
Concubine Qing thought carefully, what Jiang Xiaolou said was not unreasonable. Think about it for a moment. Although these old princesses are always yin and yang, that’s why she was widowed and eccentric in her early years. Although she was very helpful to the concubine Shun’s behaving behaviors and her two grandsons, she never really stood on the side of Concubine Shun. Although she didn’t like the eldest son who was the only one, but when the prince mentioned twice about the abolition of the eldest son, she said that it was unreasonable and couldn’t break the rules, and forcibly rejected the prince. If she really stands on Concubine Shun’s side, who can really stop her?
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and held Princess Qing’s hand, and said softly: “Mother, you have to think about everything from a different perspective. The old princess may not be strict with me for your own good. If I make a big mistake, you will become It’s targeted by everyone, so she is not harming you, but caring for you.”
When Princess Qing heard this, her expression suddenly brightened, she turned her head unconsciously and looked at the quiet main house, and finally sighed: “In fact, I haven’t done my filial piety all these years, and I always blame the prince for being bad to me. My mother-in-law is not good to me. Now that I think about it, maybe sometimes I am too extreme and refuse to get close to her. She is a weird and lonely person, she always stays alone, it is rare to go with her Flattery, one comes and two go are naturally much closer than I am. The worse the relationship between me and the old princess, the happier Concubine Shun will only be. From tomorrow on, I will accompany her more, no matter what she says, I will ignore it.”
Seeing that the other party had already figured it out, Jiang Xiaolou just nodded and smiled.
The horse-drawn carriage drove all the way away from the Qing Palace, through the crowded bazaar, and along the moat to the north. There were fewer and fewer people, and the guards were getting tighter. Jiang Xiaolou lifted the curtain of the car and saw from a distance the high red wall twists and turns, like a long red dragon entwined, the top of the palace wall is covered with yellow and green glazed tiles, shining in the sun Shining light. About 500 meters outside the imposing palace gate, there is a military camp, where the palace guards are stationed. They saw that the queen was walking through Donghua Gate, and the main gate would only open when the emperor came in and out. Normally, they entered through the small doors on the left and right.
The carriage of the Qing Palace stopped in front of the small door on the left. The door was opened, and immediately two eunuchs greeted them. They were wearing Gebu arrow suits, white jade hooks and black belts, and looked respectful. Walking along the corridor all the way inward, there are large neatly organized bluestones under the feet, and the tall red palace walls are wrapped from both sides, giving a feeling of heavy oppression. At this moment, the sun has risen, shining brightly on the palace wall, dazzling everywhere.
All the palace ladies on the road were all pink palace attire. When they saw Princess Qing, they stopped to pay their respects. Princess Qing never looked squinted and expressionless. Two eunuchs led them through the walls of the palace, and finally entered a scarlet-red door. Inside the door was a long row of rooms, which looked exactly the same. The delicate little **** pushed them aside and invited them in, saying: ” Please wait here for you two.”
Seeing Jiang Xiaolou’s surprise, Princess Qing smiled and said, “This is Hou Pavilion. If you want to see the empress, you have to inform you all the time. You have to wait here before being summoned.”
Jiang Xiaolou nodded: “Mother, don’t worry, I understand.”
Entering the room, Jiang Xiaolou looked around. The furnishings inside were very gorgeous, all mahogany furniture, and a dazzling array of antiques and jade wares were placed on the Bogu shelf. There are elegant paintings hanging on the walls, most of which are imitated by today’s people, but there are also one or two paintings by former masters. Jiang Xiaolou looked over one by one, unconsciously smiling. From time to time, the eunuchs brought in various kinds of snacks, whether it was a custom in the palace or because of the special status of Princess Qing.
After about a quarter of an hour, a slender palace lady walked in. She was born with a melon-seeded face, with light-colored beads on the dark sideburns, with curving eyebrows and almond eyes. Yizhi, the princess Qing will see you.”
Princess Qing smiled and said to Jiang Xiaolou: “Let’s go.”
The palace lady came over with a smile on her face and said, “I’m asking the princess and empress to wait a long time.” After saying this, she waved everyone out, and then whispered to the princess Qing: “In fact, the empress and empress had already ordered her to come down. Just please go in immediately. But unfortunately, the prince is here today, and there will be some talk in the future. These rules are still to be followed, and the princess should not be offended.”
Princess Qing was slightly surprised on her face: “The princess is also in the palace?”
The court lady immediately replied: “Yes, the princess is seeing her at the promotion.”
Princess Qing glanced at Jiang Xiaolou, with a suspicious look on her face.
The two of them entered the hall all the way, their eyes were covered with brocade veil, and the pearls were dazzling. Even the white jade bricks under their feet were engraved with delicate lotus flowers with stretched petals. They walked past like a lotus.
A middle-aged woman was sitting in the upper position, wearing a phoenix robe, a large and intricate peony flower embroidered on her chest, and a phoenix hairpin made of the purest gold between her hair, hanging down slightly His wrists are fair and tender, with two sets of bead bracelets and a pair of green jade bracelets on his left hand, two ruby rings on his right hand, and inch-long armor attached to his middle and little fingers. From top to bottom, the pearl is shining, and even the shoes are full of beads and inlaid with colorful gems. Behind the position is a large carved wooden screen with exquisite phoenix and peony carved on it. On each side of the throne is a luang fan. The top of the fan is made of peacock feathers, and the bottom is equipped with ebony wood handles. It is very luxurious and luxurious. .
Princess Qing took Jiang Xiaolou to salute the queen.
The queen laughed and pointed to a young woman sitting on the embroidered stool on the left and said: “Look, I really hit one another today.”
Princess Qing smiled and greeted each other with the princess. The princess had a light powder on her face, describing it as noble and dignified. Rather than complimenting her for her beauty, it is better to say that her first impression is the kind of nobility and elegance that goes deep into her bones. At this moment, there was a very moving smile on her face, and she couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Wang Hao, where did you find such a beautiful girl?”
Princess Qing smiled and said, “This is my righteous daughter named Jiang Xiaolou.”
When hearing the three words Jiang Xiaolou, the princess’s expression instantly changed subtlely, but this change was so fast that people could hardly catch it, and immediately her face floated gorgeous and gentle again. Smile: “So that’s it, I haven’t congratulated the princess for getting this pearl.”
Princess Qing smiled, reserved and decently said: “Thank you, Princess.”
While talking here, the queen said: “Come on, give a seat.”
In all fairness, the queen’s appearance is very elegant, her facial features are not very beautiful but they are also very flavorful, but her whole body is overwhelmed by brocade jewelry, so that people completely ignore her unique charm and become mediocre. She deliberately stared at Jiang Xiaolou for a while, and then said to Princess Qing: “This girl is very beautiful, her eyes are soft, and her manners are not critical. Yes, you have a good vision.”
Princess Qing said: “Thank you Empress for your praise.”
The queen seemed to be very interested in Jiang Xiaolou, and asked kindly: “Did you live in the capital before?”
Jiang Xiaolou lowered his eyes and answered earnestly: “Return to Niang Niang, I am from Liaozhou. Because my parents passed away, I came here to join my uncle. Later, I met Princess Yaoxue by chance because I became sisters with a different surname. After the landlord went, he entered The mansion accompanies the princess.”
The queen frowned slightly and said: “This child has no title yet, right?”
Princess Qing smiled and said, “Yes, I haven’t had time to enter the jade disc.”
The queen nodded, showing a thoughtful look.
From beginning to end, the prince concubine just sat aside silently. Seeing this scene, a sneer flashed across her heart, and she chuckled unconsciously: “Mother, I came to the palace today to ask for a reward.”
The queen gave a soft voice: “Who are you going to ask for a reward?”
The princess concubine gently raised her mouth, seemingly very happy: “Naturally it is for Xie Liangdi in the mansion of the prince.”
When Xie Yu was mentioned, the prince concubine glanced over Jiang Xiaolou’s face as if inadvertently, and the other’s eyes blinked gently, their eyes pure without a trace of emotion. The crown prince couldn’t help but flicked a smile: It really is a good city.
“Xie Liangdi? Wasn’t it just canonized a few days ago, what’s the problem?”
The crown princess lowered her eyes and smiled and said: “This Xie Liangdi is pregnant now. The crown prince is very happy and asked me to come into the palace to ask for another gift from the empress.”
“The older the child is, the more unruly. What he wants is…” The queen said, frowning.
The prince said in an understatement: “This time the prince wants to ask for the position of the concubine.”
Xie Yu has been very much loved since entering the Prince’s Mansion. First, she became a concubine, and then she was promoted to a concubine. Now she has to be promoted to a concubine when she is pregnant. Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t help but chuckle, and the princess came to ask for a reward in person, which is so generous.
The queen’s complexion was a little unsightly, and inconvenience happened in front of Princess Qing: “Prince Princess, you are too sexual.”
With a gentle and pleasant appearance, the princess said with a gentle voice: “Mother, the prince is busy with government affairs and sad, and I am relieved that there are one or two caring servants around me. I am a woman in the house and don’t know how to be a husband. To share the worries, I can only make him as open as possible. Xie Liangdi is gentle and considerate, generous and virtuous, please consider it carefully.”
The queen sighed: “It’s not that I am unreasonable. The promotion of the concubines in the palace must be based on their seniority and merit. This Xie family has only been in the mansion for more than a month, and has not really given birth to a son and a half. Tell others to read jokes, saying that the Prince’s Mansion is out of order.”
A faint smile flashed across the crown of the princess: “It’s also a matter of time before you give birth to a son and a half daughter. The queen should sell her face to her daughter-in-law. How to explain to His Royal Highness.”
It seems that the prince concubine and the concubine Shun are both from the same family? Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t help but think of it.
Seeing the princess begging again and again, the queen nodded after all, “Forget it, you can do it yourself. I don’t care.”
The crown prince immediately smiled and stood up to salute: “I am for the crown prince and the concubine, thank you for the care of the queen.”
The crown prince was full of tolerance and generosity, but her words and deeds unknowingly smeared Xie Yu in front of the queen. The queen became more unhappy, and she just waved her hand and said: “Since everything that should be said is finished, the prince will step back first.”
The princess just smiled respectfully: “Yes.”
It wasn’t until the crown prince disappeared in front of the palace gate that the queen smiled faintly: “If you think too much, you are not afraid of graying your hair prematurely.”
Jiang Xiaolou was slightly startled, yes, how could the queen not see the tricks she and Princess Qing could see.
Princess Qing sighed: “Queen Empress——”
The queen looked at them with a deep smile on her face: “Don’t be so cautious. In this palace, I’m used to seeing those people’s faces. It’s nothing strange. Asking you to come is to talk to me. If you don’t even have To be honest, who else can I talk to?”
The queen was born in the first door of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is a real wealthy aristocrat and founding hero. An Huaiyuan, an ancestor of the An family, has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements in his military life. The founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to become the emperor because of his support. An Huaiyuan was resolute and courageous throughout his life, prudent and conscientious, disciplined, repeatedly commanded the army, moved to the north and south, governed the army strictly, and did not have high merits. Despite hard work, he is still very humble, never take credit for arrogance, and enjoy high prestige and reputation throughout the country. An Huaiyuan died of his eighty-five year life, bestowed the posthumous title of loyalty and martial arts, and was the first person in history to say that “the power is overwhelming the world and the government is not jealous; The ancestors of Anjia uphold the family motto, are politically loyal, and never reach out economically, so they can endure for many years and become the first door in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
With such a strong background, it is only natural for An to marry the royal family. It’s a pity that her offspring were unhappy. As early as when His Majesty was the King of Goyang, she had given birth to a boy, but unfortunately died in seven months, and even injured her body and was unable to give birth again. After your majesty became the throne, she hugged the concubine second prince under her knee. With the queen as the backer, the second prince soon became the prince. But from now on, the queen seemed to be… not very satisfied with the prince.
The queen beckoned to Jiang Xiaolou: “Come here and show me a closer look.”
Princess Qing smiled and nodded to Jiang Xiaolou: “Xiaolou, go now.”
Jiang Xiaolou walked up to the queen and saluted again generously. The queen personally helped her up and said softly: “Don’t bother about the red tape, your mother is just like my sister. It’s okay to call me aunt when no one is in private.”
Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t be so presumptuous when he recognized the queen as aunt. So she just lowered her eyes and showed a hint of shame.
The queen patted her hand and smiled lonely: “I have no children by my side, so I always ask your mother to come in and talk with me. For so many years, I have only been a good sister by her, so you don’t have to be restrained when you see me. It’s a pity that Xueer doesn’t have such a good blessing. Otherwise, her two daughters, like a pair of flowers, wouldn’t make her happy.”
When she heard about Princess Yaoxue, Princess Qing’s eyes were red again, but she was afraid that she would have swept the queen’s happiness, so she quickly said: “The lady doesn’t need to worry about me, now I am relieved.”
The queen looked at her for a long time and sighed: “I am afraid that no one in this world understands your feelings better than me. When the prince was gone, I cried for three days and three nights, and even my eyes were about to cry. After so many years, In my dreams every night, I dream of his tender face, his little hands like lotus roots, which is really cute. If he were alive, he would not be able to turn now…”
In the presence of Princess Qing, the queen did not shy away, and the implication was very obvious. If the queen’s son is alive, the current Prince’s Royal Highness will definitely not be Dugu Yin. All three of the people in the palace understood, but no one broke it.
The queen hadn’t recovered for a long time. When she found that Jiang Xiaolou and Princess Qing looked inexplicable, she couldn’t help but smiled and said, “Xiaolou, can you play chess?”
When Princess Qing heard this, her originally happy face suddenly became a little uneasy, and while the queen was not paying attention, she blinked her eyes at Jiang Xiaolou desperately.
“Return to the mother, know a little bit.” Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t lie in front of the queen, so he answered honestly.
“Great! I haven’t played chess for a long time, come, let’s set the chessboard out.”
Concubine Qing secretly screamed badly-the queen is a bit strange, she believes that playing chess is like a human being. If you deliberately let the chess go, she is not happy; if you win her, she is also not happy. But if you really lose, she will think that your skills are not good and you can’t bear it. Jiang Xiaolou entered the palace for the first time, and Princess Qing forgot to remind her not to play chess with the queen. At this moment, her heart suddenly picked up.
Originally everything went smoothly and smoothly. In case it was unpleasant to play chess, it was really worth the loss, but now it is obviously too late to stop.
The queen played a total of three hundred and sixty-one chess pieces, including one hundred and eighty black ones and one hundred and eighty white ones. The black ones are made of black jade, which is as dark as ink and delicate and elegant; the white ones are made of mutton fat It is white with powder, crystal bright and clean. The chess pieces are glued to the board, and the texture becomes more delicate, moist and shiny. The chessboard is made of torreya. When the chess is hit, the chessboard will be slightly concave and the chess pieces will not move at all.
The queen was very confident in her chess skills. When she found that Jiang Xiaolou tried to make chess, she blamed her: “If you even cheated in front of me, what fun would I have in playing chess?”
Jiang Xiaolou responded with a smile, and then used his true skills to play the game. The game of chess was played for a whole hour without a winner. The palace ladies who had led them in looked around frequently, a little anxious, for fear that it would delay the Queen’s medicine. Jiang Xiaolou noticed keenly, but he didn’t make a difference.
Just as the queen ate Jiang Xiaolou’s two sons and was complacent, Jiang Xiaolou never let go.
The queen smiled and asked, “Why won’t you get down?”
Jiang Xiaolou got up, Yingying fell on her knees, and replied, “Manny, you have won, Xiaolou is willing to go down.”
While the queen was proud, she was a little disappointed in Jiang Xiaolou, thinking that she still looked up to this girl, but she was just an ordinary girl. Unexpectedly, when the palace maid came up to take the medicine with her medicine cup, she glanced at the chessboard inadvertently, and couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Manny, look!”
The queen took a closer look and discovered that the words “Qianqiu” appeared on the chess pieces on the chessboard. She glanced at Jiang Xiaolou subconsciously, and couldn’t help being surprised secretly, playing chess while calculating, leading herself to follow her thoughts, but there was no trace of it. Not only requires good chess skills, but also ingenuity.
She was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed: “Obviously it is to make chess, but it is so ingenious, okay, good girl! Stay and eat with me today.”
It was near noon. After hearing the Queen’s order, the eunuchs filed in and set up three large tables in the outside hall. Dozens of court ladies stood in the courtyard holding food boxes, passing the trays one by one from outside. Finally, the four beautiful close-fitting court ladies beside the queen put them on the table. This meal was only eaten by three people, but the dinner had more than 150 different dishes. After the main dishes were set, the maid arranged two small tables with various desserts and cut seasonal fruits.
While eating, the queen had been quietly observing Jiang Xiaolou’s every move. Seeing her dignified and graceful manners, she could not help but nod secretly. Princess Qing is right. This is a dignified and decent girl, and she is not triumphant just because she lifts a few words. The queen has known countless people over the years. She just said that the hint of the prince might not be testing Jiang Xiaolou. If she dares to talk easily, then this girl might have a big problem.
After finishing the meal, the maids came up to tidy up the table, and then the maids served tea. The tea in the Queen’s Niangniang Palace is nothing special, just a faint fragrance. This fragrance does not come from the tea itself, but from the fruit jars under the corridor. The Queen’s Hall does not want to use aromatherapy, most of which are flavored with bergamot, citron, papaya and other fruits, so the whole hall is full of fragrance, take a deep breath, and feel the fragrance all over the body, especially comfortable.
It can be seen from this that the superficially extravagant queen is not as vulgar as she might appear on the outside. On the contrary, her conversation, manners, and taste are extremely outstanding. Perhaps, her jewels and mediocrity are just a clever cover. Jiang Xiaolou observed the queen’s every move, secretly remembering all her preferences in his heart.
After talking with the queen for a while, I heard her yawn softly and smiled and said, “Go back earlier today. Come and talk to me another day.”
Princess Qing said immediately: “Yes, but…I still ask the empress for one thing.”
“Say it.”
“I heard that there is a rare tiger bone wine in the Empress Palace, which is very good for rheumatic joints. I dared to beg a bottle for the old princess——”
The queen was stunned for a while, staring at Princess Qing for a long time and could not speak: “What’s wrong with you? No matter how I persuade you, you insist on not getting close to her. Is the sun coming out today?”
Princess Qing just looked at Jiang Xiaolou and smiled. The queen understood and nodded approvingly: “Okay, it’s rare for you to understand.”
Coming out of the palace, Princess Qing smiled unconsciously: “Xiaolou, I can see that the empress admires you very much.”
Jiang Xiaolou blinked his eyes and smiled: “The empress is only looking at your mother’s face, so she treats me differently.”
Princess Qing knew that Jiang Xiaolou was sensible, but she didn’t expect her to be so humble, and she smiled: “She is actually a straight person. If you like it, you like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Especially in front of me, you will not be fake. Xiaolou Without a son to rely on, even with the strong support of An’s, her back position is still at stake, but she can sit very securely…Do you know what I mean?”
Of course Jiang Xiaolou understood that if the queen was a general role, she would have been replaced by others. It is precisely because she and Princess Qing have similar fortunes and have also lost her beloved child, that’s why she treats them so kindly, even as her own. But if one’s words and deeds are a little careless, I’m afraid it will backfire.
Jiang Xiaolou said softly: “Thank you mother for your suggestion, Xiaolou must keep it in mind.”
Princess Qing suddenly remembered what the prince had said just now, and she couldn’t help frowning: “You know the Xie family.”
Jiang Xiaolou smiled: “This concubine Xie who has just been sealed is the adopted daughter of Uncle Xie.”
Princess Qing sighed faintly: “I heard that she is not only beautiful, but also good at singing and dancing. Others say that she walks in a very sultry posture, like a weak Liu Fufeng, and like Yan Fei stumbling around, so gentle and ten thousand. This kind of style, no wonder the prince would especially favor her.”
Jiang Xiaolou just curled the corner of his mouth slightly, the crown prince and Xie Yu fight, who will succeed…
When the carriage arrived at the palace, Jiang Xiaolou said, “Mother, please go back first. I still have important things to do.”
Princess Qing trusts Jiang Xiaolou very much, and she can’t ask questions. She just nodded and said: “You must bring more guards with you, and you must not travel alone.”
Jiang Xiaolou immediately responded: “Yes.”
Jiang Xiaolou, the guard of the palace, never brought it. The only person she trusted was Chu Han. Although she knew that Chu Han was sent by Xie Liancheng, this person had no interest in any party and was the safest for her.
The carriage disappeared at the corner of the street, and Princess Qing stood on the steps, watching the carriage leave.
Jin Yu Man Tang
Xie Liancheng really waited for her in Ya’s room. Seeing her coming, the other side’s eyes were like a deep pool quietly: “I have found out who this person is.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s expression could not hide his excitement: “Really?”
Xie Liancheng nodded slowly: “This person is extraordinary, are you sure you really want to know?”
Jiang Xiaolou’s heart moved, but he didn’t hesitate to say, “I must know the truth.”
Xie Liancheng looked at her, sighed softly, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote three words gently on the table. Dugu Yin.
Dugu Yin, Jiang Xiaolou’s mind flashed, and suddenly stood up: “His Royal Highness!”
Xie Liancheng’s eyes deepened all of a sudden: “You are right, Dugu Yin is the taboo of the current prince.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes palpitated: “Are you sure?”
Xie Liancheng smiled slightly, and said calmly: “The so-called fox is the word dugu with one side each. The prince is exactly the second…Before meeting Miss Li, the prince once had one in the name of the fox Singing girl, just getting tired before March, knowing that the singing girl is pregnant, but he just took the medicine and transferred it to someone else.”
Jiang Xiaolou sat down slowly again, with a sneer in his face, it turned out to be him, who would have thought that Li Xuening’s lover back then was Prince Dugu Yin. The noble prince would actually do such a treachery.
Seeing her face change, Xie Liancheng reminded: “Although we know who this son of fox is, he may not be the murderer who killed Li Xuening.” He can only prove who the other party’s lover is, but the murderer——
Jiang Xiaolou clenched the palm of his hand: “If it’s not, it’s not far away.”
Of course Jiang Xiaolou has his own reasons. Who can command Jing Zhaoyin, and let Concubine Shun and Anhua County cover him, besides the prince? Thinking of the prince’s if nothing had happened when he entered the mansion that day, Jiang Xiaolou’s heart was burning with anger, and her eyes seemed to be stained with anger: “How many people know about this?”
Xie Liancheng shook his head slightly: “You and I are nothing more.”
Jiang Xiaolou’s voice was cold, and his eyes were surprisingly bright: “Very good.”
“Xiaolou, don’t be impulsive.” His brows frowned slightly.
Jiang Xiaolou just smiled: “If this matter has nothing to do with him, I will naturally not embarrass him, but if Xuening’s death is really related to him, I will never let him go.”
Xie Liancheng did not expect the other party’s obsession to be so deep, how many people in this world who dared to fight against the royal family, let alone the future prince… He slowly raised a faint alertness on his face: “Xiaolou, Do you know what you are talking about?”
Jiang Xiaolou took a deep breath and said word by word: “Whether it is the royal family or the gods, this cannot be a reason for them to trample on the lives of others.”
Xie Liancheng sighed slightly. He couldn’t understand Jiang Xiaolou’s character better. You can persuade, but she would never listen. No matter what he said, Jiang Xiaolou had already made up his mind.
“In that case, you must always find definite evidence and promise me not to worry. No matter what, you must discuss everything with me to make a decision.”
Jiang Xiaolou was taken aback, then looked at him and said, “You know, I never discuss things with anyone.”
Xie Liancheng was decisive this time, with no room for retreat: “No, you have to discuss with me, otherwise I have many ways to make you unable to avenge your revenge, believe it or not?”
Jiang Xiaolou frowned. She did not expect Xie Liancheng, who has always been gentle and elegant, to be so unreasonable for the first time. She opened her mouth, somewhat dumb. Such Xie Liancheng was very strange, and she didn’t know how to face it.
Seeing her angry, Xie Liancheng’s expression is extremely firm, but his eyes are soft and watery: “No matter who you want to deal with, you must grasp the weakness of the other person to start. Zi Yihou is like this, so is the prince. Before that, you must Wait patiently.”
Why doesn’t Jiang Xiaolou understand, but every time she thinks of that iron nail… She feels that blood all over her body is rushing from bottom to top, her fists clenched involuntarily, and her voice slowly returned to calm: “I understand.”
Xie Liancheng’s eyes fell a bit: “Without my permission, don’t act rashly.”
He was so solemn for the first time, and so tough for the first time, but he didn’t think about him, he was all thinking about her. Jiang Xiaolou looked back at him, raised his lips and smiled: “I will remember your reminder.”
As soon as Jiang Xiaolou returned to the palace, the queen’s reward arrived. She gave Jiang Xiaolou two Buddha statues made of thirty taels of gold, one hundred taels of gold, twenty pieces of silk and satin of various colors, twenty pieces each of leopard skins and black fox skins, and a total of three boxes were assembled. In addition to the gift, there was a canonized decree, and the queen personally gave the title of Princess Jiang Xiaolou, taking the word Mingyue.
After seeing so many gifts, Concubine Shun’s expression was already a little weak. After hearing the eunuch’s eunuch’s decree, her smile stiffened.
“Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess! Mingyue is the top title of the princess, better than the other young ladies in our family, it is a great joy!” Concubine Shun was wrong, but there was sincere congratulations on her face.
Princess Qing just smiled faintly, without comment.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and reminded her: “Shun concubine, Tongxi.”
Concubine Shun’s teeth were sour, and she held back her anger, her smile on her face became sweeter: “Yes, Tongxi, Tongxi!”
