Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 90: The Turn of the Wind (2)
King Yan saw the woman on the bed clearly, and exclaimed, "You?!" Before he finished speaking, his neck was already attached by a sharp sword, and when his soul was gone, he shouted for help, "Help..."

"Where is His Royal Highness King Yan?!" The general who took Xianhui away before rushed to the gate of Yucui Palace with a look of urgency and quickly asked, "Hurry up and let His Royal Highness Yan come out, something big happened outside."

The little eunuch waved his hands again and again, "No, His Royal Highness Yan Wang said, no one is allowed to disturb him."

"Fart! If you don't come out, it won't be too late!" The general pushed the little eunuchs away, angrily rushed in with his sword in hand.As soon as he arrived at the inner courtyard, he saw smoke and fire flickering in the main hall, "Fire?" He was shocked, and hurriedly led the guards in to look for King Yan, "Quick! Find His Highness King Yan quickly."

As a result, when I went in, I saw that the guards following King Yan were in a mess, running around like headless flies.Everyone was looking for King Yan everywhere, but the smoke became more and more choking, and it became more and more difficult to find, and after searching the entire palace, there was no King Yan!Not only that, but the concubines of the four counties, Nanny Li and others also disappeared.

The only one left was Mei Gui who had been killed with a sword.

The general didn't know well.

In the current situation, there must be a big change in Yucui Palace!

"I found it, I found it!" Someone shouted in panic: "His Royal Highness King Yan was found." But he was not half happy.

The general rushed in quickly,—Yan Wang found it, and was dragged out under the foot of the bed. It was not alive, but a hardened corpse!The smoke was so thick that everyone in the room was coughing.I don't know who suddenly reacted and shouted: "His Royal Highness Yan Wang is dead! It's over, it's over, run!"

The group of dragons has no leader, and those guards and palace people scatter like birds and beasts.

The general walked out of the inner hall in a daze, and stood in the empty courtyard in a daze. He knew very well that he would definitely not survive.Under the order of the Mei family, he helped King Yan to usurp the throne and rebel. As a result, Meigui died, and so did King Yan. What else could he usurp?What rebellion?
What was even more frightening was that another soldier led in from outside.

In other words, after the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole, the country will be handed over to others.

Who will be the leader of the army?Based on my intuition, I feel that the person is not someone else, it must be Gao Chen!He definitely didn't escape back to Jiangdu, and had been hiding near the capital all along, that's why he came in by such a coincidence.

The first emperor died, and so did the king of Yan. From now on, this country will belong to him, Gao Chen.

Outside the palace gate, it was indeed Gao Chen who led the troops to break in.

Just as the general guessed, Gao Chen never left the capital, nor did he return to Jiangdu. He just lurked in the dark and waited for the right time. He grasped it very well.Yan Wang and Mei Guiren poisoned the late emperor to usurp the throne, and Empress Wu died unjustly. Gao Chen led the troops to fight in order to set things right.
As for the little rebel army gathered by the Mei family, how could it be compared with the Qing Palace army that came from Jiangdu?How does the leader of the army recruited by the Mei family compare with Gao Chen, who has experienced the blood of the battlefield?Floating corpses for hundreds of miles, blood flowing like rivers, the final word of the world!
In this battle, Gao Chen won without any suspense.

But the throne, not as everyone guessed, fell on him smoothly.

When the previous emperor was around, if Gao Chen had been adopted as the crown prince, he would naturally inherit the throne.But now that the first emperor is dead, how can he adopt him?You can't adopt a tablet.

This is still the second, and more importantly, because Gao Chen guessed that the Mei family might rebel and the King of Yan might make trouble, so he sent a letter to Jiangdu urgently for [-] miles, asking the whole army of Prince Qing's Mansion to send out support!King Qing and his staff discussed for a long time. If the whole army was sent to the capital, Jiangdu might be in danger.But if the person sent cannot have an absolute advantage, then there is no guarantee that he will win. If he loses, it will be a proper charge of treason.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to send out the whole army, but King Qing's men also followed with the army.

So the current situation is that Gao Chen can no longer be adopted as the crown prince. He still has his father above him and his eldest brother in front of him. He is no longer the first in line to inherit the throne.

He can't be the emperor, and then drive his father to his brother, right?Isn't it unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous?What's more, the new dynasty has just been defeated and the situation is unstable. If Prince Qing's mansion is torn apart again, there is no guarantee that there will be no danger.Therefore, regardless of Gao Chen's own wishes and thoughts, it is impossible to do that.

And the important staff and ministers around King Qing were also unwilling to see Gao Chen succeeding to the throne.Just imagine, who wouldn't want to follow the new emperor who can make the country with one word, but follow the powerless emperor instead?As for the king of the great county, even if he himself did not have such thoughts before, it is hard to say that he will not change his mind in the face of the imperial power at his fingertips, let alone the courtiers around him.

The final result was different from everyone's expectations. It seemed unexpected, but it was within reason.

Under the balance and entanglement of various forces, King Qing ascended the throne and became the new emperor. Because he was previously titled King Qing, the courtiers privately called him Emperor Qing in order to separate him from Emperor Daxing.

Then Gao Dun, the king of the great county, was named the crown prince, Gao Chen was named Prince Jing, and enjoyed the double king's salary, Gao Xi was posthumously named King Huaisi, Gao Qi was named King of Chu, Gao Xi was not yet old enough to be named, and called Fifth Prince.In the past, the female family members of Prince Qing's Mansion all enjoyed the same royal treatment as their husbands.

For example, Xian Hui has now followed Gao Chen to become Prince Jing's concubine.

—but she was half happy too.

Some things, once exposed, are the cruel truth.

Gao Chen didn't flee back to Jiangdu, nor was he defeated, but kept lurking near the capital.There are some conspiracies that I couldn't see clearly when I was in the game at the time, but now I jump out, what else do I not understand?Everything before was nothing but Gao Chen's powerful calculations.

In order to balance the forces of all parties, the first emperor refused to adopt the emperor's heir for a long time, and the Mei family and King Yan pressed on every step of the way.Therefore, he planned a wonderful and amazing conspiracy!

He knew clearly that the Mei family and the King of Yan had a conspiracy, so he just ignored it, and let the people of Mei Gui and King Yan poison the late emperor to make them commit the crime of treason and usurpation of the throne!And take the opportunity to cut off Empress Wu, so that in the future there will be no empress dowager on top.

Then, he had someone steal the Chuanguo Yuxi, deliberately making King Yan suspect that he knew the news.Even King Yan's shameless and lustful temperament was calculated into it. The day King Yan came to find him was the time for Jin Ye to kill King Yan!As for the Mei family's temporary control of the palace, what's the use?Liang Jian, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, was a member of Prince Qing's Mansion. He turned his back at a critical moment and opened the door to let Gao Chen attack in. The Mei family's victory suddenly came to naught!
What a plan!If it wasn't for me being a chess piece, I would have applauded him.

"Princess Jing, why don't you have something to eat?" Yuzi timidly came over to persuade her.

Xianhui remained silent.

"My lord." Yuzi turned her head, quickly put down the bowl in her hand, and backed out.

Against the light, Gao Chen walked in from the outside.

The weather was cold in winter, and he wore a large dark purple mink fur, which was brilliantly blurred by the sunlight, making his handsome face radiant and imposing, exuding the air of a graceful and luxurious king.His eyes were deep and deep, as if they were a bottomless abyss, if he took one more look, his whole body would be absorbed into it.

This kind of aura is enough to make anyone shy away and give way, but... it is useless to Xian Hui.

Gao Chen's face was serious, his slender eyebrows couldn't be stretched, he sat down, "Xianhui, I surprised you." He said the first sentence after the husband and wife parted, and after that, there was silence.

Xianhui raised her eyes to look at him, clearing away the fog, as if she had only seen her husband's true appearance today.

Everyone in the Gao family is handsome and beautiful, and he is no exception.

Even with his current calm and cold appearance, he still couldn't conceal his long sword-like eyebrows, deep eyebrows, and exquisite facial features that were almost impeccable.Therefore, I, who had never experienced a relationship between a man and a woman, fell into his brilliance so quickly, fell in love with him, and then completely trusted him unconditionally.

He thought that he smiled at himself, indulged himself a bit, and being intimate and easy-going with himself was love and love.

Xian Hui stretched out her hand, stroked the handsome face that was half hidden in the shadow, and described the star-like eyes, the straight nose, and the thin lips with smooth lines.The questioning words were circling around his lips, but when he said it, "When will the prince enter the palace? At the beginning of the new dynasty, there must be many etiquette cutscenes to go."

"Yes." Gao Chen replied: "I will enter the palace tomorrow morning. From now on, I will go every morning and return at night, just like those civil and military officials. As for you, you will need to enter the palace for the post-sealing ceremony in a few days. Afterwards, there are female officers who will prepare for you in advance and make arrangements for you."

Xian Hui stroked the coral pendant on her ear, smiled and said, "Okay, I see."

Gao Chen looked at her and asked, "Xianhui, are you still angry with me?"

"Forget it, okay?"

"Xianhui..."

"Do you really want to listen?" Xianhui's heart was full of uncontrollable resentment and anger!She sneered and said: "Then you know that there will be rebellion in the palace, but you still send me into the palace to confuse the enemy's sight. Don't you mean, don't you know how risky it is? As long as I am not careful, I may be in danger." Killed by Mrs. Mei Gui, humiliated by King Yan, forced to death by Shao Tongyun, even biting his tongue in despair!"

Gao Chen didn't argue, didn't persuade, just listened.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xianhui was even more annoyed, "You know! You know all of this." She looked at him angrily, "But...you still didn't soften your heart, and sent me to the palace anyway."

——It turned out that I was wrong.

How could that Gao Chen who was as cold as an iceberg really melt away because of himself?He was still so cold, and his heart was still so hard. Those smiles and playfulness before just didn't touch his interests.

No wonder he doesn't care about Lu Jian, for him, love is useless at all.

Gao Chen was silent for a moment, "Xianhui, I have no choice."

"No choice?!" Xianhui sneered angrily, "Don't tell me the truth, I know, I understand! The so-called winner and loser, if you don't win, King Yan will definitely not let you go. But... ..." Biting her lip, she suppressed the anger in her heart, "Even if I want to die? You should tell me!"

Gao Chen frowned and said, "Xianhui, I didn't let you die."

"Hehe." Xianhui smiled heartbroken, but tears were shining in her eyes, "Gao Chen? If I die, will you shed a tear for me? Will you? You must know what tears are, I don't even know."

"Xianhui." Gao Chen sighed, he couldn't explain it right now, he could only let the misunderstanding continue, but deliberately provoked her and said: "Don't worry, I will use my life to make up for you in the future."

"No need!" Xianhui sneered, "A commoner girl like me, marrying you is considered high-ranking. No wonder Prince Jing doesn't like it, oh, now I'm still in your favor and become Prince Jing's concubine , right?" She spat, "Remember! I bought it with my life, not your charity! You go, get out!"

Gao Chen has never been reprimanded like this in his whole life.

Xianhui didn't feel any honor, but was so angry that she was about to leave, "If you don't go, I'll go!"

"Stop!" Gao Chen yelled, and then said: "It's windy and snowy outside, don't be angry." He looked at the angry little wife, and retreated: "These days, there are many things waiting in the palace. It needs to be discussed carefully, so I will temporarily live in the study and come back when I am done."

Xianhui snorted coldly, "My lord, go slowly."

Gao Chen reached out to touch her hair, but she avoided her, and finally had to give up, then turned and left.His tall and handsome figure, in the wind and snow, reveals a bit of indescribable loneliness and coldness, with a faint coldness that is pressing.

The servants in the palace couldn't dodge one after another, all of them looked terrified.

Six days later, the Empress Seal Ceremony.

Although there are no flowers and trees in full bloom in the season of snowflakes, the palace is full of red and brocade decorations, and it is decorated everywhere.Everyone put on the newly-made palace costumes, glamorous and decent, and all of them were full of energy.And the palace maids were given one more silk flower than the eunuchs, which were so colorful, it looked like spring returning to the world.

Concubine Qing Zhou's wife was canonized as the new queen based on her husband's honor.

After the canonization ceremony, there was a grand banquet held in Fengyi Palace.Now the hostess of this magnificent palace is no longer Wu, but the new emperor's wife, Empress Zhou.Today is not only a celebration banquet held for her, but there is no empress dowager on it, the empress of Zhou is the most respected, and of course the stars and moons are in the middle.

Inside the main hall, there is a brocade carpet embroidered with peony flowers and embroidered golden phoenix. The surroundings are resplendent and magnificent. Boshan furnaces are placed in several places in the main hall, and the aloes inside reveal a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.

Empress Zhou was dressed in a bright yellow double-silk luan gown with wide sleeves, sitting in the center, with the grace and demeanor of a mother.

The first one on the left is the crown prince Gao Dun, then the acting king Gao Qi, Prince Jing Gao Chen, the fifth prince Gao Xi, and the last one is the son-in-law Lu Jian.The first two on the right are Concubine Wan Gui and Concubine Lu, followed by Concubine Crown Prince, Concubine Huaisi, Concubine Chu, and Concubine Jingqin Xianhui.As for the emperor's Jieyu, nobles, and concubines of the princes, they all sat in the back row.

Princess Wuyang, Princess Xiaohe sat on both sides of Queen Zhou, one on the left and one on the right, to show the dignity of their daughters.The two princesses of the younger generation, the two little county kings, and Zhou Qiao sat alone at a long table with a lot of melon and fruit snacks on it, all of which children love to eat.

Not long after, Emperor Qing came over surrounded by the palace people, and after everyone saluted, the lively banquet began.

"Fourth aunt." Zhou Qiao ran over and said quietly: "You don't know, do you? The Hengzhi who served my little aunt before is the girl who got married with my little uncle. She is pregnant." She pursed her lips and smiled, "At that time, when my little aunt found out about this, she was so angry that she was in Lu's house again, so she couldn't reach Prince Qing's mansion. Even Concubine Wan Gui didn't dare to reach out to Canglan Hall, and she just got angry for nothing. "

It's no secret that Concubine Wan Gui, Xiaohe and Princess Zhou had feuded with Zhou Qiao because Xiaohe Princess fell into the water back then.

Xian Hui withdrew her thoughts and asked in a low voice, "What about Hengzhi? I haven't seen her."

Zhou Qiao smiled happily and said, "Grandmother means that it is inconvenient for Hengzhi to have a big belly now, and her fetus may be gassy, ​​so she is allowed to stay in Jiangdu Qing Palace to raise the baby."

In other words, Empress Zhou deliberately wanted Hengzhi to give birth to a child, so that she could pierce the eyes of Concubine Wan and Princess Xiaohe.

How can Xianhui have the time to care about others?Regarding Heng Zhi's matter, just listen to what you have in mind and let it go.

You know, the princess had already glanced at herself several times just after the banquet started.

No wonder she was complacent, Gao Chen was originally the most hopeful person to succeed the crown prince and become emperor.The results of it?Jiangshan Tianxia was beaten by Gao Chen, but the peaches were picked by the father-in-law.After the father-in-law died, Gao Dun would be the next emperor, and she would be the empress.

I'm afraid she can't help but wake up with a smile when dreaming at night.

Not far away, the Crown Princess was wearing an apricot-yellow gown with gold thread, wide sleeves and long tail, and the shining jewels and gold hairpins on her head. She really looked very proud.

Just like what Xianhui thought, she is dreaming of the dream of a future empress.

Not only that, but he was secretly laughing at Xianhui, —— in the past, wasn't that younger brother and sister all talented?Hehe, now my heart is bitter like Coptis chinensis, right?Don't worry, there will be more difficult days ahead.

The Crown Princess resisted looking up at Princess Xiao and Princess Xiaohe. She and Xian Hui had a feud, and there was an unlucky Lu Jian in between. Looking back, the three of them had endless things to talk about.He also looked at Princess Huaisi beside her, and her niece Lin Xiuyan shamelessly tried to seduce Gao Chen, but ended up losing her innocence, and instead was forced to become a layman.

Alright, from now on I can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
