royal princess

Chapter 175

"Maybe it's a fox spirit..."

"Today, Qiao Xiaoyi went to pay her respects to the Empress Empress. Although she was smiling cheerfully, the bruises under her eyes were not deceiving. No wonder, she and the Emperor were childhood sweethearts, and in the end... she couldn't hold her face."

"A few days ago, I don't know who was shameless. In the public, she dared to sit next to the emperor. Xi Ronghua was watching from below. Can she not hold her breath? I reckoned , I’m afraid they’ve been holding back for a long time to find their way back.”

"The emperor loves to indulge her, what can others do?"

In a word, all the voices present were suppressed.

That's right, Xi Ronghua is just a little Ronghua, even if she is pregnant, they would not dare to intercept someone in front of Qiao Xiaoyi in the imperial garden like this.Qiao Xiaoyi doesn't care, but what about the empress dowager behind her?But Xi Ronghua dared to do this. Even if her mother's family was reused, but the official position was not deep, why did she dare to do this?

Backed by the emperor!
"I heard that Aunt Shi went to Yihexuan early this morning."

"Really?"

"is it?"

"What's the result?" A group of people rushed to ask.

"I heard that Aunt Shi came out of Yihexuan with a black face angrily, hey." What is skill?This is the ability to make Aunt Shi who is next to the Empress Dowager of Shoukang Palace return empty-handed, they dare not.

"You said that Xi Ronghua is so courageous at this time, he is not afraid that after giving birth..." Is the queen mother settling accounts?

"In two days, it will be the day when Wang Guiren and Chu Guiren enter the palace. Do you think the emperor will go?"

Because of Qiao Xiaoyi's failure, the other selected concubines who had not yet entered the palace also became the objects of reference for everyone in the harem.At the same time, they were all guessing whether Xi Ronghua would hold his hand high. After all, there was a nobleman from Chu here, after all, she was the empress's own sister.Xi Ronghua has always been on the empress's side, so she won't even give the empress face, right?
At this time, the Empress Dowager in Shoukang Palace looked at Qiao Xiaoyi and frowned and said: "Don't feel wronged, it's like this when you enter the palace, so many women surround the emperor, if you want to win his favor, it depends on your own ability. "

Qiao Lingyi felt aggrieved. She had never been to Chuyang since she was a child, even if her mother's family was demoted to Chuyang by the first emperor.Because she knew that sooner or later she would come back, and Chuyang was just a temporary place for her to stay.

But now, for the first time, she really felt the power of the women in the palace.My aunt was not the queen as soon as she entered the palace, and she finally sat in that position after many years of ups and downs.However, when she remembered, her aunt was already the queen, so she just heard about those things but never saw them, so she couldn't help but take them seriously.

This time, she was very confident about running for the election, after all, she and her cousin were childhood sweethearts and had an extraordinary friendship.But, yesterday he just left her like that, without saying a word, and just chased after that Xi Ronghua's back.

Na Xi Ronghua didn't say a word, even didn't even look in the eyes, his cousin hurriedly chased after him.At that time, she knew it was different.

"Auntie, that Xi Ronghua must not stay." Qiao Lingyi squeezed the handkerchief to wipe away tears, "With her here, my cousin..."

The queen mother looked at Qiao Lingyi, "I usually look at you calmly, but when you encounter something, you panic. What is this? It's just a small matter. If you make a fuss because of this, the emperor will be even more angry." I underestimate you, and I don’t even have that bit of guilt.” Having said this, he paused, “When the queen’s sister enters the palace, you just sit and wait and watch, watching what Xi Ronghua does. The Ai family wants to see , She is robbing people or not."

Qiao Lingyi was taken aback for a moment, but then she understood that Chu Chenglan was the queen's biological sister, and Xi Ronghua was the queen's man, so she would not even give up the queen's face.It was because she was too impatient and lost her position for a while, so she cried in front of her aunt about the loss of the charter, which made her look down on her.

Thinking of this, Qiao Lingyi tugged on the Queen Mother's sleeve and acted like a baby, "Thank you, aunt, for your guidance. I'm not sad. My cousin has never treated me like this, so I couldn't figure it out for a while."

The queen mother patted Qiao Lingyi's hand, "Even if you have a childhood sweetheart, you still have to think about how Xi Ronghua can fascinate the emperor to such an extent, it shows that the means are extraordinary, and it's only serious if you use dim sum Son."

"Yes, I get it." Qiao Lingyi obediently agreed, she couldn't panic, she couldn't be in a hurry, she had just entered the palace.Na Xironghua has been with her cousin for three years, so she naturally has an advantage over her people who have been away from Beijing for many years.

The Empress Dowager nodded, with an indifferent chill on her face, "Then you can show it to me, Xi Ronghua is about to give birth, and after confinement, your cousin will no longer be able to stay in Yihexuan. It's a good opportunity." Having said that, he paused, "Looking at what happened to Chu Chenglan this time, don't you have a good relationship with Chu Chenglan? Then you need to move around more."

Qiao Lingyi tightened her fingers. She understood what Auntie meant. It would be best if Xi Ronghua also intercepted the person. Then the Queen's side... Thinking of this, Qiao Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was still a chance to win the fight. return.

Recently, the palace has been very lively. After the draft, a newcomer has been selected. Many pairs of eyes are looking forward to it. They not only hope that the newcomer can steal the limelight from Xi Ronghua, but also think that if they can fish in troubled waters, maybe new flowers will bloom in the old tree.First, Qiao Xiaoyi was face-swept on the day she entered the palace, and then the three daughters of King Li and the Chu family entered the palace.

The autumn harvest is coming, which is related to the payment of agricultural and mulberry taxes by the Dayu Dynasty this year, and it is related to the handing over of the first batch of taxes and grains in Juehu County.In the past, the old leader of Wei Ge went to Beijing to investigate the case of the government treasury owed money, tax and grain, and later in Juehu County, the result was much-anticipated.Also, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of War took turns to play the regulations of various places.Then there are poor Jinshi headed by Qin Zhuangyuan fighting desperately with officials headed by aristocratic families. From the appointment and dismissal of tax officials in various places to the small issue of additional labor services to settle complaints, Qin Zhuangyuan can find faults and find faults for you. Come, write a memorial one by one, with reasons and evidence, and reject it according to the law.

In the court hall, the impoverished Jinshi headed by Qin Zhuangyuan sharpened their knives to seize human rights. The officials represented by the aristocratic family swore to defend their own rights.Xiao Qi is in the court today, and he has completely become the one watching the excitement.Dayou sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, sits and watches the wind and clouds rise, and points out the country by the way.Oh, no, fan the flames, magnify the contradiction, and gradually erode the power in the hands of the aristocratic family.

In the past, when officials were appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of Officials, the next few aristocratic families made a total calculation, which family members took which position, and after they were divided up, they handed over the papers.Now with the sharp knife of Qin Zhuangyuan, good guy, here to recommend someone to the top, and over there, Pi Li Pa La can list all the stains on this person's life history, and the certification and physical evidence are all available.Well, as for collecting such complete evidence, the masters of Xiaolongwei have contributed a lot in secret.

Su Shengyang only obeyed the emperor's order, and without the emperor's order, even if Qin Yuchuan came to the door in person, that's how he came and went back.Now that the emperor asks Su Shengyang to assist him secretly, he will naturally handle things beautifully without leaving anyone with any clues.

The two of them cooperated very tacitly, one bright and one dark, only seeing Qin Yuchuan show off in the court, but not seeing Xiao Shengyang secretly attacking.

The turmoil in the court hall, the well-informed concubines in the harem were uneasy, and they all scolded Qin Yuchuan like a dog, but this person seemed to be made of sharp iron, and he didn't care about the outside world's criticism of him .Moreover, this person has no family members to implicate him, and he is bare-bones.Two people without the ties of the tribe, moving forward without worry, really makes people have nowhere to start, and feels very frustrated.

Si Jin naturally also heard about some things, but the original owner sealed up that memory, and she really only existed in the stage of hearing about this bamboo horse.And in a life without memories, even if you hear the name, you are just a stranger, and you can't stir up any ripples in your heart.What's more, Si Jin also believed that since the bamboo horse was going to be an official, he would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to mention the marriage contract back then.

Now Si Jin's body is getting heavier and heavier, and as the newly promoted beautiful girls enter the palace one after another, the Fenghuan Palace of the Empress Empress was lively for a while to welcome the newcomers, and the palace gradually became calm again with the shock in the court .Si Jin now only thinks that she can take good care of herself and give birth to this child safely, preferably the eldest son of the emperor, so she will have a foothold.Of course, she likes having a daughter very much, but it is just a little bit bad for her going abroad.

She is not a noble concubine, she is as beautiful as giving birth to a daughter.

Although she has never given birth to a child in her previous life, Si Jin also knows that as a pregnant woman, she must maintain a certain amount of exercise, so as to reduce the danger and pain during childbirth.So she insisted on walking around in the courtyard every day, um, the Imperial Garden can no longer be visited, and there are too many palace concubines wandering around the Imperial Garden every day.The last time Si Jin went out for a stroll at night, she met so many people who came up to talk to her, so she simply stopped going out.

During these days, Xiao Qi and she have a tacit understanding, he will no longer come to Yihexuan to wander around when he has nothing to do as before, but stay in Chongming Hall most of the time.Firstly, it was because the previous court had a lot of government affairs, and secondly, if the newcomer entered the palace, if Xiao Qi went to get close to Si Jin, he would overthrow the jealousy.What's more, Xiao Qi is now only focused on state affairs, and he feels that having a jealous jar is enough to worry about his children's love, and he really doesn't have the heart to manage a relationship.

Moreover, the probability of a man and a woman seeing each other is really too small. This kind of thing called love requires the right time, place and people.
