The female supporting role never believes in fate

Time has changed.

In a person's life, it seems that one step of slack makes a world of difference.

Today is the first important event in Beijing in recent years - the marriage of the fourth prince.

Originally, the fifth prince had an equally beautiful day.

However, a few days ago, Cheng Yulou was sent by the fourth prince to chase back Jingshan and his party a few days ago, and he did not suffer substantial insults, but he was carried on the horse by the horse bandit after all.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it's hard to say.

Afterwards, the imperial concubine took the lead in launching the attack.

Originally, the imperial concubine looked down on Cheng Hou's mediocrity, but the fifth prince and Cheng Yulou were childhood sweethearts, and Cheng Yulou himself was well-known in the capital, so the imperial concubine endured the marriage between the fifth prince and Cheng Yulou.

Now that she had an excuse, the imperial concubine stopped covering up completely, went to find the emperor herself, and rejected the marriage for her fifth prince.

At that time, Cheng Yulou first encountered the "innocent disaster" horse bandits, and then was divorced. Under the shaken mind, there were even rumors that Cheng Yulou would go on a hunger strike and die for justice.

As soon as the rumors came out, Cheng Yulou, whose reputation was damaged, once again became famous inside and outside the capital.

Under the pressure of some old scholars, after all, the imperial concubine took a step back and allowed Cheng Yulou to enter the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

But it is no longer the main concubine, but the side concubine.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the fifth prince's house, so, under the persuasion of his mother, Yang Shi, Cheng Yulou "reluctantly" entered the fifth prince's mansion and became the prince's side concubine.

Because she was not a concubine and her reputation was damaged, Cheng Yulou entered the Fifth Prince's Mansion in a wedding sedan chair, even earlier than Cheng Yuguan's wedding.

Therefore, at this time, in the Chengming Hall, Cheng Yulou appeared at Cheng Yuguan's wedding in a water-red side concubine costume.

"The ministers and others are respectful, but the fourth prince's ceremony is complete, and I am so overjoyed that I can only celebrate it!"

Hundreds of officials saluted with great momentum.

Seeing Cheng Yulou and the fifth prince dressed in courtly attire, standing next to the emperor and empress, enjoying the blessings of all officials, Cheng Yulou smiled on his face, as if he was very excited about getting married for his "sister".

My heart is full of claws scratching my heart.

After today, the two who were originally "sisters" are very different.

Not to mention that the four princes enjoy the congratulations of all officials, they have become the substantive treatment of princes, even if they are both princes, a main concubine and a side concubine, their identities are also very different.

After all, one is the master and the other is the concubine.

Back then, my mother said that the imperial concubine was "little", but now, she, Cheng Yulou, is also "little".

Even because of reputation damage, lack of confidence.Only by clinging to Cheng Yuguan, the "sister", can she stand tall and stand tall on the occasion of the marriage of the fourth prince.

Thinking of the faint dislike of the Fifth Prince and the imperial concubine these days, Cheng Yulou stared closely at Cheng Yuguan's grand figure in court clothes with a pair of clear eyes.

She wants to hold onto this "sister" tightly.

Now, Cheng Yulou understands that compared to the parents of Cheng Hou and his wife, Cheng Yuguan, the "sister", is her biggest "reliance".

After all, they are sisters, and Cheng Yuguan looked at the crown princess, and the queen's position was in sight.

It wasn't just that Xungui who was present took a high look at her as Cheng Yuguan's younger sister and the future queen's younger sister.

Even the imperial concubine, because of Cheng Yuguan's face, did not dare to go too far with her.

Although the fifth prince knew that his relationship with Cheng Yuguan was cold, blood was thicker than water after all.

In today's feast, the fifth prince originally did not intend to let her appear in front of everyone.But in the end, because she was Cheng Yuguan's younger sister, he still took her out.

Thinking of the warmth and warmth of people in the Fifth Prince's Mansion these days, Cheng Yulou's eyes gradually changed from clear to dark.

Mother was right.

After a woman gets married, if she doesn't stand up on her own, even the servants in the house will dare to control her.

"Licheng!"

Suddenly, the Yiguan announced loudly, interrupting Cheng Yulou's deep thinking.

Without thinking, Cheng Yulou stepped out subconsciously.

Everyone looked at Cheng Yulou inexplicably.

Cheng Yulou was restrained for a moment, but still had a firm look on his face, stepped forward a few steps, bent down naturally, and actually lifted the long skirt trailing behind her for Cheng Yuguan himself.

Cheng Yu closed her head to cover her eyes, not knowing what happened, she just pretended to be a palace servant or Liu Yun, and raised the corner of her skirt for her.

Xungui, who was present, looked at this scene and exchanged glances with inexplicable expressions.

The old lady of the Bai family, seeing this scene in front of everyone, looked even more gloomy.

The old man of the Bai family holds the real power.

So a few days ago, Cheng Yulou was humiliated, even though everyone in the capital knew that it was Bai Xiaoling's hands, but the old master Bai was there, and he just sent Bai Xiaoling back to his hometown to teach him.

The Bai family has no substantial influence.

Even this time when Cheng Yuguan got married, Mrs. Bai attended the banquet as one of the guests of honor.

The old lady Bai has been in the capital for many years, and she is well aware of the grievances and resentments of the two generations of the Chenghou Mansion.

At this time, looking at Cheng Yulou's bendable figure, Mrs. Bai's face was heavy.

The Bai family and Cheng Yulou are deadly enemies.

Right now, even if Cheng Yulou swears, if he doesn't resent the Bai family, the Bai family will not believe it.

In this case, the more Cheng Yulou forbears, the more he shows no heart.Old Madam Bai would not believe it either.

She only knew that once Cheng Yulou gained power, unless the Bai family was in power forever and flourished, there would be a pair of black hands waiting to bring trouble to the Bai family.

...

After the lively wedding banquet, the golden sunshine in the evening covered the majestic Miyagi.

Cheng Yulou knew that his rumors had passed not long ago, and that he would inevitably be laughed at at court dinners, so he took his leave early and left.

Walking alone on the passageway out of the palace, Cheng Yulou no longer had the innocent self-confidence when he was unmarried, but had a serious expression on his face.

Qinghe followed such a young lady, feeling nothing but apprehension.

"Sister is like this now, it can be said that I have the same disease as me."

Suddenly, a sound came.

Qing He patted his chest in horror.

The palace is deep and gloomy, the lady is wrong, and the side concubine has a dark complexion.

Qing He was worried in his heart, suddenly a voice appeared, and Qing He's heart jumped in horror.

Looking against the setting sun, a small and exquisite figure appeared in the corridor opposite.

Meet on a narrow road.

Qing He squinted her eyes, trying to see the figure clearly.

"It turned out to be her!"

Qinghe murmured in shock.

When Cheng Yulou was in Qingfenglou, Xu Zhiyun, who was proud and arrogant, entered the palace in a small sedan chair, but now, they meet here.

The person coming opposite turned out to be Xu Zhiyun who hadn't seen him for a long time.

In Qinghe's heart, the idea is inexplicable.

She looked at her own lady, and to some extent, she ended up in the same fate as Miss Xu Zhiyun.

"Is this retribution?"

Qinghe unconsciously had this idea in his heart.

Just when Qing He shook his head, trying to shake this thought out of his mind, he heard his side concubine calling for someone in a flat voice.

"Miss Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know what to give you."

Obviously, Xu Zhiyun was waiting here on purpose, waiting for Cheng Yulou.

At this time, Xu Zhiyun's figure had already arrived in front of Cheng Yulou.

Qinghe was a little dazed.

The person in front of me is much more graceful and luxurious than when she was a girl.

When she was a girl, although Xu Zhiyun was exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, she looked more mature than ordinary ladies and noble girls, but she still had an air of arrogance on her face.

Now, looking graceful and elegant, it seems that the edges and corners have faded away.

But it makes people unconsciously sigh from the bottom of their hearts.

It seems to lament that a flower has not bloomed properly, and it has become rotten.

When Qinghe sighed inexplicably in his heart, he saw Xu Zhiyun's gaze passing over him.

In an instant, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake, Qing He tensed up.

"Qinghe, go prepare the car first."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yulou turned around tacitly and said to Qinghe.

Apparently, the two of them dismissed the "idlers and others" and wanted to talk about "their own words".

"Miss…"

Qinghe doesn't want to leave.

Everyone in Beijing understands Xu Zhiyun's scheming.

Apparently, Qinghe was worried about her side concubine, talking to such a perverted person who was about to be betrayed by her at some point.

Cheng Yulou looked at Qinghe with indifference in his eyes.Indifferently, but persisted.

Qing He lowered her head, "Yes, Miss."

As if holding seven or eight rabbits in his heart, Qinghe left uneasy, leaving behind a pair of former "sisters" who are now "sick and sympathetic" people talking in the narrow and quiet corridor.

"Little sister is not living happily these days, I know it. My sister came here this time, and she didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she came to help my sister solve her problems..."

A voice as if wrapped in honey, softly resounded in the tunnel, Qinghe only heard half a sentence, and then couldn't hear the voice again.

I don't know if she was too far away, or her voice became softer.

In short, on this day, Qing He always felt that he had been waiting alone in the carriage for a long time before he got his side concubine.

"Miss, don't listen to her. She sold her, and others have to count the money for her. We are now in the fifth prince's mansion. Although we are not very happy, there is no one else in the mansion. You and the fifth prince , still have feelings. Don't add extra details and ruin the current good situation."

Qinghe couldn't wait to pull the side concubine to persuade her.

"Emotions? A good situation?"

Cheng Yulou couldn't help sneering.

Experienced the childhood sweetheart of the year.How could it be "good" to be treated coldly now?
Seeing the young lady sneered and remained silent, Qinghe dared not persuade her any more.

She knew that the young lady was not reconciled, and she was afraid that too much persuasion would backfire.

I can only look at the young lady's face, thinking about the future, and slowly persuading her.

...

Here, the master and the servant are in the carriage, and the atmosphere is tense.

Over there, Mrs. Bai is old after all, so she left the meeting early.

The queen empress was considerate, and she granted permission for the old lady Bai to be driven in a sedan chair in the palace.

The old lady Bai declined, so she just sat on the slider and left.

At the south gate of the imperial garden where they left the palace, they met on a narrow road, and the old lady respectfully dismounted from the sedan chair and saluted.

"Meet Xu Meiren."

It turned out to be Xu Zhiyun.

"The Cheng family sisters have a bright future. How did I hear that Mrs. Bai is not feeling well recently, but he is worried about my younger sister Bai? Also, the capital city is full of outstanding people, and it is time for younger sister Bai to choose a son-in-law. Could it be that I can only make random promises in my hometown?" Do you want to waste my sister Bai's good qualifications in vain?"

After speaking, the old lady Bai's face became more serious.

Mrs. Bai knew that Xu Zhiyun was not kind.

Everyone in the capital knows it.

At the beginning, she missed a move and lost to Cheng Yuguan.

Now, he is obviously unwilling and restless, and wants to stir up the wind and rain again.

In the past, with the prudence of the Bai family, they would definitely disdain to participate in it.

But now the Bai family is like the afterglow of the setting sun, and its glory will not last long.

But he forged a death feud again.

In this situation, if you don't plan carefully, will you really wait for the Bai family to experience darkness after the sun goes down?
"What advice does Empress Xu have?"

"Heh~ I can't talk about advice. After all, I am young, and I am not as thoughtful as your old lady. But now I am in the palace, and I should cooperate with outsiders. It is easy to give you a hand. What do you think?"

What Xu Zhiyun said was actually asking Mrs. Bai to give advice.

If it was normal, Mrs. Bai would definitely not participate.

But now, the situation is compelling.

Old Madam Bai stared directly at Xu Zhiyun for a long while with her deep eyes, and then suddenly said something meaningful.

"The fourth prince is deep, honest, and considerate. It is not something women like us can shake. On the contrary, the fourth prince and concubine, although prudent, is still a little immature. I heard that when I was in Tongcheng, I was a little bit loyal and passionate. Young people, how many A person like the fourth prince who can not be impulsive at all. Impulsive is not thorough, and there is a chance to take advantage of the gap. Beauty, what do you think?"

The old lady Bai said slowly.

And a beauty in one bite.

There was no sarcasm in this tone.

Xu Zhiyun didn't care when he heard it, but smiled instead.

"Madam Bai is right. I understand what you mean. Recently, a group of palace people in the palace have reached their age and want to be released from the palace. Among them are some from Fengyi Palace."

"Cheng Yuguan looks indifferent, but actually has a soft heart. I'll choose a few, and I won't let them out of the palace. I'll match him with an old eunuch. I heard that Eunuch Huang has a godson who is a "hero from the forest" and is most loyal and passionate. He The godfather's marriage was disturbed by Cheng Yuguan, as a godson, he wants to stand up for his godfather. We can't stand by and watch, can we?"

With just a few words, the rest of the life of some innocent court ladies was decided.

The old lady Bai seemed not to feel it, but nodded slowly.

"Your Majesty has worked hard in the palace, and I am outside the palace, so I will naturally cooperate."

...

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Cheng Yuguan looked at the old lady Bai who was holding his hand in front of him, with a calm face, but a faint uneasiness in his heart.

According to old lady Bai's status and seniority, she doesn't need to deliberately make friends with others.

According to old master Bai's character, he would not do flattery.

But if something is abnormal, it is a demon.

The old lady Bai pulled herself to talk with a natural and eager expression, and her words made Cheng Yu care, and the cordon was tightened.

"Among the younger generation, you are the best. Although sometimes you act impulsively, you still follow your heart. It is very rare. In the past, others criticized you for being cruel to Cheng Hou, but the old man didn't take it seriously. Young man How can you be considered filial if you don't have a trace of passion and don't stand up for your mother? If you want me to say, you are very good like this."

Cheng Yuguan was confused, and calmly withdrew his hand, with a polite smile on his face when facing his elders.

"Your old man agrees, and I accept it with my heart."

With that said, Cheng Yuguan stood up.

This is the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and Cheng Yuguan is dragged by Mrs. Bai, unable to escape.Right now there was a lot of commotion nearby, and Cheng Yuguan took the opportunity to walk away.

"There seems to be someone in the palace crying and begging, I'll go and have a look."

...

Old Madam Bai looked at Cheng Yuguan's back in the corner, and listened to several court ladies kneeling and crying in front of Cheng Yuguan, but the corners of her mouth gradually hardened.
