The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 69

The eldest princess rolled her eyes at her younger brother, and replied with a sneer, "Don't worry about it, I'm not good at it."

Seeing that his sister had something to say, Emperor Ming took a sip of tea and said, "Bi'er and Jin'er often mention elder sister to me. They are grown up now, and they also miss you as an aunt, and always want to honor you."

The Bi'er mentioned by Emperor Ming was Zhao Bi, the descendant of the Cao family, and the Jin'er was Zhao Jin who was born of Concubine Meng Gui.

The eldest princess picked up the teacup and said calmly: "It's rare that they have such affection for my aunt, but I also have sons and daughters, so they don't need to worry about it, as long as they can respect you well."

Fu Xi believed that my nephew wanted to honor her. After all, if he could get the support of her aunt and the Duke of Zhenguo, it would be an important bargaining chip for him to sit on the throne.

In the battle of these two nephews for the heir apparent, she, Fuxi, and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion were a favorite.

Empress Cao was born in the prime minister's mansion, and Zhou Yi was her own uncle. It was because of these two backers that his son was promoted to the position of prince, but Emperor Ming was partial to Jin Wang, who was born by Concubine Meng Gui.

"Elder Sister, what do you think of this child Jin'er?" Ming Emperor selfishly hoped that his sister would stand by his side.

Fuxi didn't know what her younger brother was thinking, so she scolded lightly: "What do you want me to say about a singer's work?"

Emperor Ming knew that his sister had been brooding over the matter of the former empress all these years, so he argued: "Sister, I know you have always been unable to let go of A-Xian's death." Emperor Ming's eyes darkened: "I am sorry for A-Xian , has nothing to do with the Meng family."

If it hadn't been for his younger brother to empathize with others and let down his sister-in-law, how could Empress Li die out of despair? Although Fuxi complained about Emperor Ming, he was the person closest to him after all, no matter how much he complained, he would still love him of.It's just that Concubine Meng, Fuxi never gave her a good face.

Seeing her younger brother talking about the Meng family again, the eldest princess said impatiently: "I don't want to hear this, she is your concubine, you can spoil her however you like."

After a pause, there was a chill in her phoenix eyes, and she warned Emperor Ming: "Just one thing, as the master of our Zhao family, don't waste the imperial court because of a Meng family."

Emperor Ming said with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Where did my sister go? No matter how much I dote on the Meng family, I still have a sense of propriety. Besides, the Meng family is also a generalist. My sister is just prejudiced against her. If you get along with her "

Before Emperor Ming could finish speaking, Fu Xi interrupted: "It's good for her to know how to measure, but the position of crown prince is very important. Since you have established a son-in-law, you should cultivate it well. If you are so uncertain, you will make Chao Gang unstable. Furthermore, if the two brothers have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, it is easy to cause trouble."

Emperor Ming fell silent after hearing what his sister said.

Fu Xi got up: "It's getting late, I'll go back and rest first."

Emperor Ming replied: "My sister hasn't entered the palace for a while, so I might as well stay here for a few days."

Fuxi said: "No, I still have some things to do when I go back to the mansion." After that, she went out of the imperial study, got on the chariot, and ordered, "Go back to the mansion."

Nanny Ju replied: "It's getting late, the princess might as well stay in the palace for one night."

The eldest princess waved her hand, and replied: "No, I'd better go back to the mansion and relax."

The eldest princess's chariot had just set off, and from a distance, she saw a woman coming here with a group of maidservants in costumes. Aunt Chrysanthemum glanced at the eldest princess's face, but the eldest princess said indifferently: " let's go."

That woman is Concubine Meng Gui.

She walked up to the Eldest Princess, and slowly saluted, "The concubine knew that Eldest Sister had entered the palace, so I came here to visit."

Although Concubine Meng Gui is over thirty years old, she still has an outstanding demeanor, and there are thousands of amorous feelings in her casual gestures.

Fu Xi sat on the chariot, but he didn't even lift his eyelids.

Grandma Ju stepped forward and wished concubine Meng Gui a blessing, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the princess is tired today, so I have to rush back to the princess mansion."

Concubine Meng Gui was still not reconciled, she smiled and looked at the tall princess on the chariot, and continued: "It's getting late, why don't eldest sister stay in the palace for a day? Eldest sister lives alone in the princess mansion, and the concubine I think about it with Your Majesty every day, and that day I told Your Majesty that I want you to move back to live in the palace, so I can serve Elder Sister every day and do my best for His Majesty, I hope."

Before she could finish talking, Fu Xi said in a cold voice, "Let's go!"

The chariot walked away slowly, Tuliu Meng Guifei gritted her silver teeth and stood there feeling depressed.

Just after walking not far away, Fuxi's chariot was stopped again, this time by a first-class female official beside the queen.

The female official stepped forward and saluted Fu Xi respectfully: "The empress heard that the eldest princess is coming to the palace, so she specially ordered the servant girl to bring fragrant tea for the eldest princess to taste." After passing the tea box, he knelt down and offered it to Fu Xi, saying: "This tea named 'Xue Ding Han Cui' was imported from Duo Luo Kingdom, and there were two boxes in total. The empress knew that the eldest princess loved tea, so she ordered her servant to bring a box. with the princess."

Fu Xi said lightly: "The empress has a heart, but recently I am taking medicine and can't drink tea." After finishing speaking, she waved her hand lightly: "Let's go."

The chariot finally started again, and after leaving the palace gate, the eldest princess got into the chariot. Nanny Chrysanthemum waited for the eldest princess to sit down, and couldn't help saying: "No wonder you don't like to enter the palace anymore. I really can't stop."

The eldest princess sighed slightly, maybe she was really tired this day, she didn't sit upright as usual, but leaned her head gently against the wall of the car, she narrowed her eyes lightly, and the thoughts in her mind Suddenly, the familiar and vicissitudes of life she glimpsed on the parade platform today appeared.

After all, the eldest princess did not stay in the palace, and Caohou's dignified and solemn Jiaofang Palace and Meng Guifei's resplendent Ziwei Palace gradually calmed down as the night fell.But in the southwest of the inner palace, the owner of the exquisite Yilan Hall still couldn't sleep at night.

The night was already dark, and the Yilan Palace filled with the faint fragrance of medicine was still lit, and the maids stood on both sides holding their breaths. In the silent hall, only the golden thread clogs of the Ninth Princess Qingluan stepped anxiously on the marble floor. , issued a "rustling" sound.

Qingluan's face was full of anxiety, until she saw the female officer she sent to the Zhen Guogong's mansion to deliver things in the daytime, with a glass lamp in one hand and a picture scroll in the other, her expression eased from the outside.

Without waiting for the female officer to salute, Qingluan hurriedly responded: "The painting is finished." After saying that, he directly took the scroll in the female officer's hand, and couldn't wait to unfold it.

It was a portrait of a woman. Looking at the portrait, Qingluan couldn't help frowning her eyebrows: "Why is the head bowed?"

She raised her eyes and looked at the female officer and asked, "How does this make me see clearly?"

The female officer quickly knelt down and replied: "Princess Qi, when the servant girl gave a gift to Mrs. Zhen Guogong Shizi according to your order today, but for a short moment, Mrs. Shizi kept her head half down. The maidservant really didn't look at it." Clean her face."
