Chapter 417 I want to be my father's Pingyang

"You're right, I've been in the capital all these years, pretending to be virtuous, gentle, and ignorant, which made me so bored," Princess Pingyang didn't care about the Queen Mother's reaction at all, and continued talking to herself, " On the contrary, it was a very happy time in Qiyang for this trip."

The Empress Dowager took a breath.

"Tang Chou doesn't dare to offend me, and the Yan family doesn't dare to neglect me," the eldest princess said with a smile, "I can do whatever I want every day, and I can eat whatever I want.

You told me about so many Qiyang dishes before, I will order one today and one tomorrow.

Unfortunately, it's not to my taste.

Fortunately, there are many cooks, who can cook some Beijing dishes.

But no matter how much you think about the craftsmanship, it still can't compare with Feng Zhongao's bowl of vegetable soup.

That's good taste.

Of course, I have also endured a hard life, and I can handle food and drink. I like to wander around the yamen, read the case files, and see Tang Chao and they are frightened.

You, Qi Yang, are so courageous. If I hadn't been watching for several years, I couldn't believe that the number of concealed reports would be so large.

I admire you! "

"You!" The empress dowager shook her body in anger.

With her hands tied behind her back, she could neither hit anyone nor smash anything.

Although the two feet can walk, they are also unable to kick because of the restraint.

Even, she wanted to knock down something to vent her anger, and all the things that could be hit in the inner hall were destroyed by Concubine Shu, leaving only a mess.

When had her Compassionate Ning Palace been in such a mess?

When has her empress dowager been in such a mess!

The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more angry she became. If she hadn't leaned on the chair, she would not even be able to stand still.

"You are so proud," the empress dowager gnashed her teeth, "do you really consider yourself a hero among women?"

The eldest princess raised her phoenix eyes, looked at her, and asked, "Have you forgotten why I am 'Pingyang'?"

The empress dowager was startled.

"Tang Gaozu had a Princess Pingyangzhao who was buried with a military ceremony, so my title is Pingyang." The eldest princess took a deep breath, "I will be my father's Pingyang."

As soon as this sentence came out, the dusty memory of many years was wiped away, revealing its truest appearance.

That was three months before the first emperor established his dynasty.

The war gradually subsided. Although there are still many lands that are still divided and divided, the overall situation has been determined.

The ministers discussed the establishment of the dynasty, and Zhao Hui also made preparations, just waiting for the time to come.

One afternoon, Zhao Hui chose the name of the country, "Zhou".

He was very happy to share it with Yan Shi, Zhao Lin, Zhao Gui and Zhao Li. In his words, there was hope for the future.

It's not that I aspire to be an emperor, but I want the world to be prosperous and the people to be peaceful.

He raised troops in troubled times, and he also looked forward to ending the troubled times, all because of this.

In high spirits, Zhao Hui asked Zhao Gui what title he wanted when he became the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Don't worry, think slowly." Zhao Hui told his daughter.

Zhao Gui did not hesitate at all.

She immediately said: "Pingyang, I want to be like Princess Pingyang Zhao, fighting for your unification."

Zhao Hui smiled, bright and happy, and the joy was beyond words.

As a result, after more than 20 years, when the empress dowager recalled this scene that day, she could still feel the joy of the late emperor.

Yes.

The Empress Dowager thought that she was stupid for being deceived by Zhao Gui for so many years.

He thought that Zhao Gui dismissed Guiwei, acted in a low-key manner, did not participate in the court, the more he lived, the more he looked like a noble lady from a noble family.

It was she who forgot that Zhao Gui had such a firm and forward character from the day she was a child, the day she took up a weapon for the first time.

Drill the guards, adjust the grain and grass, assist the army, attack and defend the granary...

How can a woman with such ability and courage really have been polished by the years?
Zhao Gui was just waiting, waiting for the day when the sword would be unsheathed.

On the other side, Concubine Shun and Eunuch Ji were also at a stalemate.

"You're not by the Emperor's side, what are you doing here?" Concubine Shun said.

She asked knowingly.

The news of the army's attack on the capital had already reached here.

Concubine Shun knew that Uncle Zhongqin would open the city gate, but she didn't know the time, method and process of preparation.

She was waiting for that moment, knowing full well that it wasn't too far away.

It's just that this moment is closer than she expected.

Because Eunuch Ji is here.

Even though the emperor was still in court, Eunuch Ji brought people to her place in a hurry, and one could easily understand the reason.

The emperor was furious for Uncle Zhongqin's betrayal, but he was powerless to prevent the army from entering the city, so he could only use her to discourage him and act as a hostage.

"Your Majesty," Ji Gonggong said, "Your Majesty, please come."

It is impossible for Concubine Shun to go with him, but if the other party is really tough, she will not be able to deal with it for a while.

After leaving Xifang Palace, there were not many people available around her.

The only one who could really be trusted was Nanny Yuan, and the few little maids and servants outside were no match for Eunuch Ji and the others at first glance.

This eunuch Ji doesn't know kung fu, but the person who brought him here just looks like a practicing family.

"Take a walk?" Concubine Shun said slowly, "Where are you going? I heard the commotion outside today. Did something happen?"

Taking advantage of Concubine Shun and Eunuch Ji's procrastination, Nanny Yuan cautiously moved to the window and kept eye contact with the maids and servants outside.

Hurry up and find the Second Highness!

Every look expressed this meaning, but none of the smart people dared to meet Yuan Nanny's gaze.

Eunuch Ji saw all this in his eyes: "Nurse, don't waste your efforts in vain."

Nanny Yuan gritted her teeth.

Concubine Shun's heart also sank, she knew that all the previous staff had been transferred away, could the person transferred this time be obedient?

Eunuch Ji's patience is obviously limited.

In particular, he knew very well what would happen in the Golden Luan Hall.

"If your empress refuses to leave," Eunuch Ji said with a sinister smile, "don't blame the servants for being rude."

As soon as the words fell, the two servants suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Shun's arm.

Concubine Shun suffered from the pain and let out a low cry, but she still held back all the swearing.

It's useless to scold this stinky eunuch.

On the contrary, the army has entered the city, and sooner or later it will capture the imperial city.

The emperor asked eunuch Ji to arrest her, so who else could go to Qi'er to show off his might?
By Qi'er's side, not to mention good kung fu, there are more people who can beat and beat.

Taking a step back, as long as Qi'er and the Weng family are safe, even if it costs her life, the deal is worth it.

Now, she wants to see where eunuch Ji is going to take her.

Eunuch Ji ordered Concubine Shun to be taken out, another person detained Nanny Yuan, and the group went out.

Concubine Shun didn't cooperate, she staggered away and delayed as much as possible.

The servant who was escorting her was terribly annoyed, and slashed Concubine Shun's neck with a knife.

Concubine Shun's body went limp, and the servant directly put her on her shoulders, as if she was carrying a sack.

Ji Gonggong shook his head at this.

He showed mercy.

If the empress is more obedient, why should she suffer like this.

"Go faster," Ji Gonggong said, "Time is tight."

Seeing Concubine Shun's situation like this, Yuan Nanny wished she could fight them desperately, but she saw a group of people hurried over on the palace road.

The first three.

One looks like Concubine Shu, but not like it.

Concubine Shu is usually gentle and steady, but now this person's hair is almost falling down.

The other person looks a bit like Miss Qin, but I'm not sure.

She had never seen Qin Luan up close before, if he was wearing Taoist robes, it would be easier to recognize him.

There was another person, and Nanny Yuan recognized it.

That is Lord Wending, who is close to the eldest princess.

Xiangjun is here, Concubine Shun is saved!
