Daughter of Hou's Mansion

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager didn't want to embarrass everyone on such a happy day, so she quickly changed the topic, and everyone gathered around the First Prince to chat and laugh, and the atmosphere on the surface was very harmonious.Jiang Yao was really good at talking, and after a while she coaxed the Queen Mother to smile again.

When Empress Jiang arrived with a group of concubines, the Compassion Palace became even more lively.

Qingluan looked at Wei Xin'er, who was standing in the crowd, dressed in light yellow palace attire, with a faint smile on her face, when her eyes met Qingluan's, a gleam of softness flashed across her cold eyes.Qingluan's heart is astringent. Although Shangguan Rui has only been enthroned for a short time, there are eight concubines who are still favored in the harem by the side of Empress Jiang. Sister Xin'er has become one of the thousands of women in the harem. , and only she knows the suffering.

The scheming and appearance of the women in the harem are indispensable, otherwise how can they survive in this harsh situation?Sister Xin'er has always been a mediocre person, such a bright pearl who is dragged into the harem is bound to be dusted.

Even a favored concubine like Hui has to call herself a concubine in front of Empress Jiang. Even if she is as honorable as Empress Jiang, she has to take care of the emperor's concubine for the sake of her virtuous name. , this harem is really a tortured place.

After everyone sat down according to their positions, Empress Jiang said: "It's early for Concubine Hui to come!" 13acv.

All the concubines followed her to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but Concubine Hui became a maverick after giving birth to her son. You must know that the queen is the only one in this harem who can be a maverick.

Concubine Hui smiled at the queen and said: "In the past, the empress dowager would come to Jingren Palace to see the eldest prince. Today, because he had to meet the wives, the eldest prince didn't come. The eldest prince seemed to miss his grandmother and cried endlessly. He stayed at the Palace of Compassion and Ning Seeing the grandmother, she became obedient again, and the concubine also feels sorry for the eldest prince, so please don't blame the empress."

Concubine Hui was blatantly showing off her son, and by the way, she flattered the Queen Mother, and Empress Jiang wished she could cut Concubine Hui into pieces with a magnanimous smile.

"You feel sorry for the eldest prince, so how can you blame me? No matter how you say it, the eldest prince has to call me the queen mother. I like him in my heart." Jiang Yuan is worthy of being the daughter of the Jiang family. Being provoked by Concubine Hui, she was still able to maintain her empress' bearing, and even fought back a little.She is a queen, and all the princes and princesses in this palace have to call her queen mother, concubine Hui and others can only be called concubine mother at most, she is the emperor's first wife.

Qing Luan watched Jiang Hou fight with Concubine Hui, laughing and talking about Yan Yan but hiding his wit, such a life is really tiring.

The queen waved at the nanny who was holding the eldest prince and said: "Today is a good day for the eldest prince. As the eldest prince's aunt, I should also express myself. This piece of jade pendant belongs to Daxiang Temple. The eminent monk has consecrated him, and I hope he can bless the eldest prince to be safe and sound."

The empress wanted to hug the eldest prince, so the nanny naturally dared not refuse. When the red swaddle was in Empress Jiang's arms, the palace servants behind Empress Jiang handed over a jade-colored Panlong jade pendant.

The eldest prince stared at Empress Jiang with round eyes, and suddenly burst into tears.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Yuan's face, she was fine in other people's arms, but she just started crying when she was in her arms, this kid was really as annoying as his mother.

Concubine Hui smiled secretly, covered her nose with the handkerchief, and said, "I'm afraid the empress has never given birth to a child, so the movement of holding the baby is a little strange, empress, you can walk around in your arms, this kid likes to be carried away by others. "

In this Palace of Compassion and Ning, with so many people present, Concubine Hui was not afraid that the Empress would do anything, instead she happily watched her jokes.

Jiang Yuan lowered her head slightly, suppressed the stern look in her eyes, and actually walked away with the eldest prince in her arms.This eldest prince is really Concubine Hui's caring little padded jacket, after the Empress Empress carried him for two rounds, she really stopped crying.

Concubine Hui took advantage, the smile on her face couldn't be concealed no matter what.

The eldest prince might be tired, he yawned and slowly closed his eyes in the empress' arms.Empress Jiang was about to carry the eldest prince back to her seat, but she suddenly staggered and rushed forward, and the swaddling baby in her arms flew straight out.

This scene stunned everyone in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, even Qingluan's original intention of watching a show was brought up, the eldest prince was only just full moon, and he was still alive when he hit the ground.Jiang Yuan's face was pale, she even forgot to scream, and stared blankly at her still bent wrist.

Concubine Hui exclaimed, and rushed towards the eldest prince, but she was already about ten steps away from the eldest prince, and she didn't possess light skills, so how could she keep up with the speed of the eldest prince's fall.

Just at that critical moment, Jiang Yao, who was closest to the eldest prince, rushed out, her hands firmly caught the first prince, and because of the momentum, she took several steps back, and then sat down on her buttocks. on the ground.

The floor of the Compassionate Ning Palace is made of water-polished blue bricks, and even Qingluan, a bystander, feels pain when he sits down heavily.Jiang Yao, however, endured the pain obstinately, and even tried her best to stabilize her body. With such a big commotion, the eldest prince in the swaddling baby didn't even open his eyes, completely unaware that he had walked before the gate of hell.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and when everyone reacted, Jiang Yao said to the Queen Mother with a pale face: "It's all right, the eldest prince is all right."

Mrs. Lu Guogong almost fainted from the shock of this incident. This was really a test of the mind. Her daughter threw the eldest prince out. At that moment, she really felt that the Jiang family was going to be over. Fortunately, Jiang Yao caught the eldest prince in time, and the Jiang family made up for it.

The Empress Dowager repeatedly said: "Don't help me up yet!"

Immediately, that clever palace man stepped forward to help Jiang Yao, and the nanny hurriedly took the eldest prince from her hands.

Concubine Hui just recovered from that shocking moment, grabbed the eldest prince from the nurse's hand and cried: "My poor child!"

Probably because Concubine Hui's voice was too sharp, the eldest prince who had been sleeping soundly cried out with a "wow".

Jiang Yuan almost vomited a mouthful of blood out of anger, but it was true that she had dropped the eldest prince, and she immediately put on an expression of lingering fear, knelt on the ground and said, "Mother, forgive me!" Mrs. Lu Guogong and Jiang Yao met They all knelt down behind Jiang Hou one after another.

Qingluan couldn't help but sigh in admiration, the people of the Jiang family are really superior in coping with the crisis. Anyone with a brain knows that Queen Jiang will not do it on purpose, even if she intends to deal with the eldest prince, she will not be so blatant , It's not that I'm impatient anymore.

This silent begging for mercy made her innocent even more.In contrast, Concubine Hui's crying was inferior.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager's face darkened, and she said to Concubine Hui: "Why are you crying? You have made all good children cry, so you don't want to hold them down." Concubine Hui didn't have time to wipe away her tears, so the eldest prince asked the grandma to hug her down.

The empress dowager was very upset. The battle in the harem was either the east wind overpowering the west wind, or the west wind overpowering the east wind. Either way, it would not affect her, the emperor's own mother, so she never stopped those concubines from coming and going in front of her. Talk about it.

But despite this verbal quarrel, if it hurts her precious Jinsun, she will not obey.

After the queen mother scolded Concubine Hui, she said to the queen, "Queen, you are too careless."

"Yes, queen mother, the concubine knows his mistake!" The queen is a "good queen" who has the courage to admit her mistake. The expression on that face is extremely sincere. It was his own mother, so no one else could be blamed.

Concubine Hui gritted her teeth with hatred, the queen must have done it on purpose, she was just jealous that she gave birth to a son.

Qingluan has also seen that people in the palace are always careful and vigilant at every step, and their eyes can't help but fall on Wei Xiner, but Wei Xiner slightly shakes her head at her. This is what women in the harem look like today. This kind of drama will become numb if you see more.

"Okay, get up, let's forget about it, don't let this happen next time." The queen mother said with a slightly calm face.

Empress Jiang obediently replied yes, Concubine Xiao took Jiang Yao's hand and asked softly, "Does it hurt from the fall?"

Jiang Yao shook her head, for such a scene of bravely saving the eldest prince, even the Empress Dowager looked at her much softer than before, and said to the palace people beside her: "Go, bring my set of ruby ​​hair Give it to Miss Jiang's family."

Jiang Yao hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.Qingluan guessed in her heart that the planning of this matter was the cooperation of the Jiang family, so Empress Jiang was too courageous, if Jiang Yao didn't make a good plan and didn't catch the eldest prince, then the Jiang family would inevitably suffer ?It was Empress Jiang who was sure that Jiang Yao would be able to catch the eldest prince. If it was Bai Tian or an elder brother who knew martial arts, it would not be a problem to pick up a little doll. Could it be that Jiang Yao looked soft and weak, but actually is a master.

When Qingluan's eyes fell on Jiang Yao, she saw that she had just raised her head and smiled at her. Qingluan's heart tightened, but a smile came back very naturally on her face. This Jiang Yao really didn't like it. Simple.

"Queen, it's getting late at this time, you can lead everyone to go first, Ai's house will arrive later." After all, the queen mother is old, and she also has a headache when there are so many people making noise in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Empress Jiang responded, and everyone got up to bid farewell to the queen mother.

A group of people moved to the imperial garden. It had been raining heavily for half a month just now. The flowers and plants in the imperial garden had all withered, but the imperial garden at this moment was colorful, and the trees hanging on the treetops were made of ribbons. Flowers, all kinds of seasonal flowers can be real.On both sides of the road are carefully cultivated potted plants.

Wei Xin'er slowed down, lagging behind and walking with Qingluan and the others.

Qingluan only felt that there were a lot of questions to ask, but in the end, they all came together in one sentence: "How is sister in the palace?"

Wei Xin'er smiled lightly and said, "It's good."

Qingluan couldn't help but feel depressed, even if it's not good, so what, in such a situation, he can't even complain, Empress Jiang looks like she's sitting on Mount Tai, Concubine Hui has the support of the eldest prince, the people below Where can I live better.

However, Wei Xin'er took Qingluan's hand and said in her ear: "Sister Luan'er, if you like Prince Qin's son, you should settle it first. The situation is about to change, even if Prince Qin's son has the reputation of being a dandy, many people are looking at the Prince Qin's mansion behind him, my sister should have made a plan earlier."

Qingluan's expression froze, Wei Xiner persuaded her so earnestly that she couldn't feel shy.

"Hey, this Xian Zhaorong is really sisterly!" A slightly sharp voice came from behind, Qingluan turned around, but saw a woman in a pink and blue palace dress, the woman's With a bad look on his face, his facial features resembled Wei Xiner's. After thinking about it for a while, Qingluan guessed the identity of the person who came, isn't it Concubine Shu Xiatang?

It can be said that the second bedroom of the Xia family was completely defeated after the last riot, and Concubine Shu was also fined and grounded.

Wei Xiner curled the corners of her mouth, Xia Tang just likes to act, and it was not easy to come out because of the first prince's full moon banquet, but she didn't know how to restrain herself, and when she came out, she panicked and wanted to meet her. People really have nothing to fear.

Wei Xin'er bowed to Xia Tang for a while, and said with a smile: "What Concubine Shu said is that the view of the Imperial Garden is pretty good today, and I'm introducing it to Sister Luan'er. Do you want to be together, Concubine Shu? I haven't been to this imperial garden for several months, if I get lost, it will be a joke."

Wei Xin'er's tone didn't contain a trace of sarcasm, but the content of the words was not very comfortable to listen to. Concubine Shu couldn't hold her breath at all, her face turned red in a moment of anger, and she pointed at Wei Xiner Said: "You are so brave!"

Waiting for the big day.The expression on Wei Xin'er's face has not changed at all. Although Xia Tang still occupies the seat of Concubine Shu, she has already lost Shangguan Rui's favor. Concubine Shu is already a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out, it’s just a show, but she still hates her because of the previous affairs of Xia Wei’s family, so she stepped out of the palace gate to ask for help. Come to trouble her, and don't weigh your own weight.

The personal servants around Concubine Shu pulled Concubine Shu, and persuaded Concubine Shu in her ear: "Your Majesty, today is the full moon banquet for the eldest prince. If something happens, the emperor will be unhappy." Since Concubine Shu After being grounded, the people in their palace have long since lost their former glory. Concubine Pian Shu still couldn't recognize her situation and rushed to seek death. These slaves really want to live.

When Queen Jiang heard the movement, she ordered the palace servants to ask what was going on.

Concubine Shu glared at Wei Xin'er, and directly brought the palace servants to complain.

This is the first time for Qingluan to see this Concubine Shu of the Xia family. To be honest, she really doesn't understand the structure of this person's brain. With the current situation of the Xia family, Xia Tang has to be a talent with her tail between her legs. What's more, although Wei Xin'er spoke sarcasm, she was very considerate in terms of etiquette, so Xia Tang couldn't figure out what was going on.

But after a while, I heard Empress Jiang at the front say: "Concubine Shu, who are you crying and crying on such a good day today? How can Xian Zhaorong talk to his sister in the way of your eyes? If you don't really participate You can go back to the first prince's full moon banquet, no one will blame you for not knowing etiquette."

Xia Tang touched the ashes on the nose, and was afraid that the queen would not let her participate in the first prince's full moon banquet, so he finally found an opportunity to come out. If he went back, he didn't know when he would come out next time. Resentfully swallowed all the hatred into his stomach, holding back his anger and begging Queen Jiang for mercy: "What the Empress taught me is that I don't dare anymore."

Empress Jiang had already lost Xia Tang's face, she couldn't do it any better, so she waved her hand to signal her to follow.

Only then did Xia Tang stand up and follow behind the group of people, but at the end she did not forget to give Wei Xin'er a hard look.

Qingluan whispered in Xin'er's ear: "Sister, this Concubine Shu is impulsive and irritable, and she has put all the hatred of the Xia family on your head. You still need to be careful, there is no guarantee that she will not be used as a fool." Gunner."

Wei Xiner patted Qingluan's hand soothingly and said, "I'll save it."

The group arrived at the imperial garden and sat down to drink a cup of tea. The Empress Dowager's ceremonial car arrived. After they were seated, Shangguan Rui and several close officials also appeared.

Shangguan Jue followed behind Shangguan Rui, and when he passed by Qingluan, he even blinked at her. Qingluan lowered his head as if he couldn't see, this coquettish flower didn't know that she was infected with a lot of mad bee waves butterfly.

Seeing that Qingluan ignored him, Shangguan had no choice but to withdraw his gaze embarrassingly, beside him was still Wei Wang's son Shangguan Hao.Qingluan glanced at Shangguan Hao, seeing that he was still looking cold, she couldn't help but think to herself, this Shangguan Hao is really calm.

Before the eldest prince was born, Prince Wei was the most popular candidate for the crown prince. How embarrassing his current situation was because of his high voice back then.In Shangguan Rui's mind, Prince Wei's son was a backup when he couldn't have a son. Now that he has his own son, this nephew will naturally be put behind him.

It's just that Prince Wei's son is now an adult, so he already has his own influence in the court, and the eldest prince is just a baby in his infancy. Now Shangguan Rui should be afraid of Prince Wei's son for his own son, and he will definitely take advantage of it. When I have the ability to suppress and weaken the strength of Prince Wei, this faction of Prince Wei may face a big purge in the near future.

Qingluan couldn't help looking at Shangguanjue again, in comparison, Shangguanjue, a dude, was much better than Wei Wang's son, the pillar of the country, at least he would not make the emperor suspicious.

Shangguan Rui led people to greet the Empress Dowager, and then the Empress led a group of female relatives to salute the Emperor.

Shangguan Rui was in a good mood, waved his hands and said: "Today is the full moon banquet of the eldest prince, the heavens are beautiful, and the rain has stopped after half a month. This eldest prince is the lucky star of the Great Xia Dynasty, and I look forward to it." The eldest son for many years, I have discussed with the Ministry of Rites and chose today to confer the eldest prince as the crown prince, let's announce the decree!"
