The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 154: Unwilling to Marry 1
Since the first emperor passed away not long ago, it is inappropriate to hold a draft with great fanfare, but it is not a problem if the harem is vacant, so the empress dowager came forward to choose a concubine for the emperor.Naturally, the daughter of Zhang's family was chosen, and the Empress Dowager's niece is also the daughter of Zhang Shilang.Both the empress dowager and the empress dowager intended to make her the empress, Xiao Xuanyu just listened and didn't say much.

To him, filling the harem is not a very important matter, but the succession of royal heirs has become the most important thing. From the empress dowager to the people, they are very concerned about it.

The emperor of a country has no personal affairs to speak of.

In addition to the show girls selected for him by the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, Xiao Xuanyu also listed Du Hongyu, the younger sister of the newly named General Du, on the list of show girls. It was far from the comparison, Xiao Xuanyu's move was just to appease General Du.Therefore, there is no objection to the inclusion of Du Hongyu in the list.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the emperor to announce Zhang Ya as the empress on the day of the enthronement ceremony. In this way, in the history of Daliang, the Zhang family will have two queens.

Xiao Xuanyu was diligent in government affairs and seldom took care of the affairs of the harem. Because there were two elders taking care of him, it seemed that it was not a big deal in his heart to be a queen and choose a concubine. In these traceless years, he was also completely traceless.

Ever since she got out of the Autumn Palace, became the Empress Dowager, got rid of the Empress and the Tenth Prince, these days have been much smoother.However, there is always one thing, which is the empress dowager's big worry.That is the Liuli Palace!
Now Xiao Xuanyu treated her with more courtesy, even the empress dowager, who once hated her, did not bother her, allowing her to live in the palace so peacefully, the empress dowager really couldn't swallow this breath.

Her past grace and honor were all taken away by this woman. Now that the late emperor has gone, she should go to be buried with her. How can she still live in such a chic and comfortable way?

On this day, the Empress Dowager took the palace people to the Liuli Palace in a mighty manner. There were fewer palace people than before. Even the palace that she once thought was gorgeous and envied was not very good. Everything was not as good as hers. Today's empress dowager's bedroom, such a comparison, the empress dowager's unbalanced psychology is a little more balanced.

Walking all the way to the bedroom flamboyantly, without any communication, just barging in. Concubine Lan was playing the piano, while Wushuang sat listening, when the Queen Mother pushed the door so suddenly, all the sounds stopped abruptly.

Both parties were stunned. Soon, Concubine Lan came to her senses and led Wushuang to bow to the Queen Mother to salute, "I have met the Queen Mother, Your Ladyship Jin An!"

"It's said that there is an extra white-haired beauty in the palace. Who do I think it is? It's my sister!" The Queen Mother didn't let them get up, but Concubine Lan still knelt down and replied, "It's normal for people to have gray hair when they get old. .”

"That's right, it's quite normal, but, just after the death of the late emperor, you danced and danced, and you still wanted to play the piano to have fun. Tell me, is this called normal?"

"The dead are gone, and the living must continue to live. I feel that I have done nothing wrong."

"You still dare to talk back?" The Empress Dowager was so angry that she wanted to hit Concubine Lan, Wushuang hurriedly said, "Quiet Empress Dowager, Concubine Lan didn't intend to contradict you, it's just that the former Emperor passed away and she was too sad, so she couldn't help but slip up."

"Baby maid, who wants you to be troublesome!" The queen mother scolded angrily, then turned her head to stare at Concubine Lan, jokingly said, "The tenth prince was too sad to accompany the late emperor, and the queen went to accompany the late emperor too sadly, Concubine Lan, how about you?" , what should you do if you are too sad? Is it just playing the piano to express your sorrow?"

Concubine Lan bowed her head and said nothing, the queen mother did not allow her to get up, and neither of them got up.I saw the queen mother circle around Concubine Lan, grabbed a strand of Concubine Lan's white hair, and pulled it slightly, Concubine Lan's face remained unchanged.

"Beautiful face and white hair, heh, Concubine Lan, why is your hair white? Did you really like the first emperor? Don't you forget that he took away his wife and harmed his heir? Didn't you always scold him like this? Falling in love with your own enemy, how do you let your husband and daughter under the nine springs rest in peace?"

Her words hit Concubine Lan's vital point, her expression was gloomy.

The queen mother looked at Concubine Lan with satisfaction. In fact, she hated this woman at first, but now seeing her gray hair, she suddenly felt that God had given her the best retribution.

Isn't she loved by thousands of people?Let her lose her hair now, let's see what she can use to confuse the emperor.What's more, the late emperor has gone, but she fell in love with him foolishly, isn't that the best punishment she can give herself?
Some people, death can make her happy, such as the queen.However, some people live like the living dead, and if they want to live or die, they can let her relieve their hatred, such as Concubine Lan.

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Lan domineeringly, "Get up!"

Because of bending her knees for too long, Concubine Lan couldn't stand up, but fell to her knees on the ground, Wushuang rushed to help her, her legs were also weak, and she also fell to the ground.She subconsciously covered her stomach. It had been three months since she was always thin and wore loose clothes, so it wasn't too obvious.

"Sister, even though Ai's family is the queen mother now, you don't need to perform such a grand ceremony. If the former emperor knew that you knelt down for me, oh my god, he should feel distressed again. You know, he looks at you, He is heavier than himself, what a pity, you didn't have a good look at him at that time, how uncomfortable the late emperor must have been."

Knowing that the Queen Mother deliberately used it to stimulate herself, Concubine Lan was still injured by her.

In the past, the kindness of the first emperor to her was indeed enough to make women in the world envy, but she never knew how to cherish it.

Fearing that the queen mother would make things difficult for her, the late emperor exempted her from paying her respects to the queen mother, and did not need to kneel down to anyone, including the queen, and even the face saint.

He had made countless enemies for her in the palace, but he also protected her well. Although those concubines hated her to the bone, none of them had the ability to hurt her.

Thinking of the past and her own attitude, Concubine Lan's heart hurts like a knife.

"I heard that when the first emperor went, you were allowed to leave the palace. Why didn't you leave the palace? Didn't you look forward to leaving every day before?" The Queen Mother asked coldly.

Concubine Lan said, "I want to stay with the late emperor, I will not leave."

"He doesn't need you to accompany him!" The queen mother suddenly became annoyed, "You are occupied by you while alive, and you don't want to let him go when you are dead? Concubine Lan, you are too vicious, you are a harem woman, do you know that? Your special pet is killing us all!"

"I do not know."

"Don't pretend to be innocent like this for the Ai family, you don't know, you don't know who knows, you just know how to pretend, the late emperor was deceived by you, the Ai family won't!" As he said, pinching Lan Fei's face angrily, "Now that your hair is ruined, what's the use of having this harmful face? Didn't the former emperor just love your face, why don't you offer it to him to accompany him!"

After speaking, she pierced Concubine Lan's face with her long golden armor, which was not enough, and signaled the palace servants to disfigure Concubine Lan.

Wushuang looked aside, not caring whether the other party was the queen mother, and pushed her away. Concubine Lan's face was already bleeding, but she was like a puppet. Wushuang hurriedly shouted, "Niangniang, empress..."

"You maidservant, you dare to push Ai's family, are you impatient?" The queen mother was furious, "You go over and teach Ai's family a good lesson for this lowly girl who doesn't know what to do!"

"Yes!"

The palace servants immediately went to support Wushuang, one left and one right, another person slapped her twice but still didn't let go of her hatred, just when she was about to throw her on the ground and kicked and beat her, suddenly a eunuch shouted loudly, "The emperor is here!"

The palace people immediately let go of Wushuang and knelt down to salute the emperor one after another.

Xiao Xuanyu walked in, and saw Concubine Lan sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment, and Wushuang's cheeks were also swollen, she immediately said displeased, "Queen, what are you doing?"

"Who is going to inform the emperor? One by one disobeyed the Ai family and didn't want to live?!" The Ai family was furious, busy looking for the "insider traitor", and ignored the emperor.

"Empress!" Xiao Xuanyu said sternly, "It's getting late, it's time for Empress to return to the palace to rest."

"Aijia is not tiring." The queen mother said, pointing to Mu Wushuang, "She is a court lady who dares to push Aijia. She is not superior or inferior. You say Aijia doesn't teach her today, what will happen in the future?" Stand up in the harem?"

"Mother, you don't get your power by beating. Besides, you are a petty person when you hit someone, so why bother if you get angry? Later, I will have someone teach her a good lesson, and now my son will accompany you back to the palace. Didn't you say that you want to go back to the palace?" Do you want a big coral, Erchen got it for you."

"Really?" The Queen Mother was overjoyed, she no longer had the heart to teach these defeated generals a lesson, and wanted to go with Xiao Xuanyu.

Wushuang stood blankly in the hall, her cheeks were tingling, and this was the first time she had seen Xiao Xuanyu so close in a long time.

Since he became the emperor, he didn't come to find him as usual, and was diligent in government affairs. She was a court lady who wanted to see the emperor, and it was difficult for her to reach the sky.What's more, she didn't want to see him either.

She has been hiding in the Liuli Palace to raise her baby, and seeing Xiao Xuanyu today, her brows are a little more resolute, not as soft and easy as before, and her gestures are more majestic and decisive than before.

Seeing them leaving, Wushuang hurriedly went to help Concubine Lan, but when she squatted like this, her chest felt uncomfortable, and she retched twice. I vomited for a long time.So much so that the queen mother heard it, and went back and forth.

Wushuang squatted on the ground, covered his mouth and retched, watching the empress dowager's delicate embroidered shoes go back and forth, his eyes almost popped out, but he just couldn't stop the feeling of wanting to vomit.

The Empress Dowager looked down at her, Xiao Xuanyu's calm face also had doubts, and the old nanny sternly said, "How dare you be so disrespectful in front of the Empress Dowager, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Wushuang knelt down when she heard the words, but she couldn't speak. She felt all kinds of uncomfortable at the moment. She patted her heart. After a long time, she finally got better. She was about to speak, but she heard the queen mother asked abruptly, "What's wrong? Come on, Go and send the imperial physician to take a look!"

"No, no need." Wushuang said hastily.

"It's so uncomfortable to vomit, don't care what the doctor can do, why are you still standing there, go!" the queen mother sternly said, and all the palace people left immediately.

Wushuang was flustered, raised her head and bumped into Xiao Xuanyu's sullen face, she immediately drooped down in fright.Concubine Lan also woke up from her trance, and lightly reprimanded Wushuang, "I've eaten a bad stomach and I'm being rude to the Queen Mother, so hurry up and admit my mistake."
