Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 341 The first confrontation

Xiang Xi also hurriedly said: "Brother, you are injured, it's better to go back with the prince! Otherwise, I don't worry about you going back to the northwest by yourself, with only a few personal guards to accompany you, how can you rest assured?"

Most of the more than 4000 elite soldiers were "divided up" by the emperor and the prince, and added to the East Palace, Jinwu Guard, Imperial Guard Army and Xiaoqi Battalion.There are only a hundred or so people left. At that time, we must protect the clear water and go back east to northwest. Otherwise, these 100 people will also be replenished to Xidaying.

Shui Qingqian nodded: "Then let's go back together! In the past two days, everyone, hurry up, if you want to meet any friends, go there quickly! You don't need to buy gifts, the rewards from His Majesty are enough!"

Both Emperor Anhe and the prince gave Xiangdong a lot of rewards.

Xiangdong asked Xiangxi: "By the way, Sister Chunlai's son Rao Qian, isn't he a Jinshi? Now, where is he assigned to be an official?
Xiangxi: "He went to Jiangnan to be a county magistrate. Yu Cheng is now the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. With his care, Rao Qiandang will be safe and sound! In the past few years, thanks to Yu Cheng's efforts, the atmosphere in Jiangnan is very good. .Officials with a clean sleeve can also do well in Jiangnan, and don't have to be excluded like before!"

Xiang Dong: "Oh, that's it, so I can rest assured! Originally, I also planned to ask the prince to help him find a seventh-rank official in Qingshui River. Jiangnan is good, and the climate in Jiangnan is very good. It is a place with beautiful scenery and rich products. What a great place to be!"

I really didn't expect that that bookworm Yu Cheng would become the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!You know, it is not easy to be an official in that place.If you are not careful, you will end up in exile.

Xiangxi: "Master Yu returned to the capital to report on his duties more than a month ago. He just filled the vacancy of governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He only left the capital a few days ago. Rao Qian went with him!"

Xiang Dong: "Oh, what a pity! If I came back a few days earlier, wouldn't I be able to meet him?"

Xiang Xi: "Yes, Yu Cheng and Rao Qian are very sorry, they have been waiting for you all the time! Later, they couldn't wait anymore, so they set off for Jiangnan. There is a time limit for them to go to the post, if they don't leave , it will be postponed!"

Xiangdong is very sorry.

Shui Qingqian: "It doesn't matter. When we return to the northwest, let's take a detour to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, can't we meet again?" At that time, give Yu Cheng and Rao Qian 3000 taels of silver each, so that they have enough Yinqian established a good relationship with the people in the yamen and gained a firm foothold as soon as possible.Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Zhenxing bid farewell to Shui Qingqian and Xiangdong, and began to cheer up, and fought fiercely with his younger brother Shui Zhenguo.

Qinyuan is the second largest courtyard of the East Palace, next to the main courtyard.

Shui Zhenguo lives in Jingyuan, which is the tenth largest courtyard in the East Palace.The third largest courtyard is the courtyard where the prince's study is located, which is called Qinyuan.

Shui Zhenguo wanted to live in Qinyuan, thinking about it for many, many years.Ever since he was six years old and moved from the courtyard where Concubine Xu lived to Jingyuan, he wanted to take Qin as his own.However, no matter how much he cried, no matter how spoiled Concubine Xu was, the prince did not let go.

However, as soon as this wild species of unknown origin came, it took over Qinyuan!

Shui Zhenguo was indescribably angry and wanted to complain to his mother and concubine, but his mother and concubine had already been placed under house arrest.The crime is that 15 years ago, his mother and concubine threw the emperor's grandson Shui Zhenxing, who was a few months old at that time, into the deep mountains and old forests in the southwest, trying to let the wolves eat Shui Zhenxing!Fortunately, he was rescued by the concubine of King Pingxi, and he survived by luck.

Shui Zhenguo: "Damn! Since he was thrown into an uninhabited and wolves-infested deep mountain forest, how can a baby who is only a few months old be so lucky to meet that bitch woman Rao Daya? Let me tell you, this Shui Zhenxing must be a bastard born to that bitch, Rao Daya, and the killer! That bitch is so brave, she dared to use it to pretend to be the grandson of the emperor, she is really audacious and shameless!"

The close maid Fei Cui was so frightened that her legs became weak: "Hey, my lord, you can't say this! That's the majestic Mrs. Rao, you can't say it! If it gets out, I will anger the world and cause a lot of trouble. Public outrage!"

Mrs. Rao, the concubine of King Pingxi, in the eyes of the world,
That is a fairy descending to earth, a living Bodhisattva!She succeeded in planting cotton, and generously wrote books on cotton planting techniques, which were distributed in large quantities, benefiting the people of Languo widely; she invented movable type printing, invented bamboo paper, and wrote many inspirational stories, which inspired A whole generation; she discovered coal, discovered the secret of Tongtianhe...

All in all, her contribution to Lan Guo is innumerable.

Otherwise, why did the emperor make an exception and canonize her as the main concubine, and allowed King Pingxi not to accept the side concubine and concubine concubine?It's not because she gave birth to three pairs of dragon and phoenix twins, it's clearly because of her great contribution to the country and the people!

To make her a concubine is also the aspiration of the people, the heart of the common people

willing.The emperor just took advantage of the situation, taking advantage of the fact that she gave birth to three pairs of dragon and phoenix twins, to give him a step up!

Shui Zhenguo's personal court lady, Fei Cui, was originally the second-class court lady of the prince Qinyuan, and she was loyal to the prince, that's why the prince sent him to Shui Zhenguo.Firstly, it is to take care of Shui Zhenguo's daily life; secondly, it is naturally to monitor Shui Zhenguo to prevent him from harming Zhenxing.

However, even so, Jade did not dare to provoke Shui Zhenguo.This 13-year-old boy seems to have a natural viciousness in his bones.He is like that poisonous snake, as long as you go against his will even a little bit, he will pounce on you and bite you.Since returning from revitalization, in just one day, there were as many as five eunuchs and maids in Jingyuan who he couldn't afford to beat up!

This is still a person, he is simply a living Hades!
When Fei Cui persuaded Shui Zhenguo, her heart was trembling, and her voice was also trembling.She was afraid that if Shui Zhenguo disagreed with him, he would beat her up.Yet, despite her fear, she had to be persuaded.Otherwise, if he did something shocking to the grandson of the emperor, the people who served him would lose their heads!
What Fei Cui said made Shui Zhenguo very upset: "Look at you, are you so courageous? You are still the first-class maid by my side, what use is there for you? Get out of here, I don't want to see you again! Humph! Isn't she just an illiterate bitch? Public outrage? She deserves it?!"

Fei Cui's face turned pale with fright, she knew that the prince must have sent shadow guards by Shui Zhenguo's side.The shadow guards came to protect Shui Zhenguo's safety, but more importantly, they came to monitor Shui Zhenguo!She knew that the conversation she had with Shui Zhenguo just now would definitely be heard by the prince!

She didn't dare to delay, so she went to Qinyuan to report to His Royal Highness.

Hearing her words, the prince's face was very ugly, and he waved his hands: "Go down, he won't let you serve him personally, so don't hang around in front of his eyes all the time! Go back, you are still his first-class maid, This will not change! As for what work to do, you can figure it out yourself!"

Jade is the eyeliner sent by the prince to Jingyuan, of course she can't just let her come back, even if she is a handyman, she can get some inside information that even the shadow guards don't know.

Monitoring Shui Zhenguo is actually monitoring the contacts between Concubine Xu and Shui Zhenguo, and from the contacts between the two, find out some spies lurking in the East Palace.

The performance of Shui Zhenguo made the prince very chilling.

This is only 13 years old, so ruthless, so narrow-minded, so unreasonable, so vengeful.How can such a person take on such a big responsibility?Not to mention being the king of a country, even a small seventh-rank county magistrate is not qualified!
A parent official with bad character will not only fail to seek welfare for the people, but will also bring disaster and unfilial piety to the people!

When his son grew up like this, the crown prince felt unspeakable anger and sadness, and immediately issued an order: "Xu side concubine is incompetent in teaching her son, and she is sinister and vicious, deprive her of the status of side concubine and demote her to be a concubine! The daily expenses are based on the standards of concubines, and the place of residence is changed to the Chrysanthemum Garden in the northwest corner, and all the previous valuables are put into storage!"

The housekeeper quickly responded and immediately took the order to leave.

Concubine Xu was dumbfounded when she heard the prince's order.

If she had a glimmer of hope before, then at this moment, she has no choice but to despair!Unexpectedly, she was reduced to a concubine!There is no reason for this, it is too much to deceive people!
She shouted at the top of her voice, "Shui Qingtian, are you blind? I'm the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. If you treat me like this, won't you be afraid of breaking the Xu family's heart and losing the Xu family's support for you?" ?!"

Shui Qingtian is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

When she shouted, everyone around her couldn't help but turn pale with shock, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

Ouch, my gosh!The name of His Highness the Crown Prince is taboo, can you actually shout it randomly?Does she know that she is no longer a favorite concubine, but just a lowly concubine!

Oh, hey, I'm really mad because I got lost, could it be that I don't want to live anymore? !
The butler was terrified, and quickly waved his hand vigorously, and said to the women who were tall and rough, "Why are you still standing there? Come here two people, and quickly send her to the Chrysanthemum Garden!"

The carriage had already stopped in the middle of the yard, and the two women, one on the left and the other on the right, forcibly got side concubine Xu into the carriage.As soon as the three of them sat down, the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage quickly headed towards Ju'er in the southwest corner.

Along the way, it is inevitable to meet a few women who come out for a walk, either concubines or concubines.Concubine Xu, whose mouth was gagged, wanted to curse but was powerless. The whimpering voice fell in the ears of several women, no less than a thunderclap on the flat ground, which made their faces turn pale. Frightened.

Hey, the prince is really cruel!You know, Concubine Xu is the woman he has loved for more than ten years, and she is also the daughter of the Duke of Zhen.If this is the case, it means that you are left out in the cold, and you are under house arrest if you say that you are under house arrest.However, what is it for now?
At this moment, these women have not heard the news that Concubine Xu was demoted to be a concubine. If they knew, they would probably be scared out of their wits!Where dare to stand, but also not limp on the ground!

Even so, these few women with the most sloppy mouths in the Eastern Palace inevitably felt a sense of sadness.My heart was chilly and terrified.

Not long after, the news that Concubine Xu was demoted to be a concubine and placed under house arrest in Juyuan flew to every corner of the East Palace as if she had grown wings.All kinds of discussions filled every corner.

Shui Zhenguo went out for a walk and overheard it.He was suddenly furious, and immediately gave the two maids a heart-warming kick, and kicked them until they vomited several mouthfuls of blood on the spot, and fell to the ground.

Zhenxing happened to see this scene.

His heart couldn't help but twitch violently: Is this vicious young man his half-brother?Such a vicious person is his younger brother? !

He couldn't believe his ears.

You know, this younger brother also has martial arts, he is a sweetheart, these two court ladies are destined to be soaked in medicine jars for the rest of their lives!How pitiful, but at the age of twelve or thirteen, like the sun just rising in the morning.This life is destined to be a tragedy!
