Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 134 An Uncharacteristic Farce
He also held the idea of ​​procrastinating in this way, and waited for the time to explain clearly to Murong Wei.

"I'm going to patrol the Yongding River with my father. You should take care of me in Beijing. I won't be able to come back in seven or eight days."

Seeing that his brother didn't answer his thoughts, Xiao Mingchen thought that he already had an idea in his mind.

So he secretly wondered, but he didn't know that Xiao Mingrui didn't have any good ideas.

Since Xiao Mingrui went to patrol the Yongding River on the tenth day, Murong Wei was free for a while, and the servants and servants on the left and right advised her to go to worship the Buddha.

"My servant has been praying to Goddess Guanyin before, and now I am going to fulfill my wish. The concubine's illness can be cured thanks to Goddess Guanyin's protection."

Aunt Yue said piously, ever since she got this serious illness, Aunt Yue began to devote herself to worshiping the Buddha, her devoutness was really like an ascetic monk.

Now he eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha's name, saying that he has made a great wish and will become a vegetarian from now on.

Murong Wei thought that she had nothing to do, so she sent people to support Xiangguo Temple, and went out the next morning with her servants and a BMW car.

It is a good time in May, peaches and plums are fragrant outside the window, bees and butterflies are swarming, along the way to Xiangguo Temple, there are jagged rocks beside the road, and you can see lush greenery and deep forests in front of you.

The lower part of the mountain is covered with trees and bamboo forests, and the upper part is covered with pines and cypresses. Entering the mountain, the high mountain is even more quiet.

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple learned early in the morning that the Luo Palace was coming to pay respects to the Buddha, so he opened the middle door, came to greet him in person, and acted as a guest monk.

Xiangguo Temple is the place Murong Wei came to when she traveled, and she is very familiar with it.

When I arrived here, I enjoyed the scenery, went to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and added sesame oil money.

Murong Wei played for an hour, felt a little tired, and was about to go to rest, when she saw another guest arrived.

Logically speaking, since it was the female family members of the Luo Palace who came to worship the Buddha, other guests should not be allowed to come, so as not to disturb the female guests.

Aunt Yue was a little displeased, and when she heard that Princess Chu, her aunt, Mrs. Ding Guogong, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu San, came to worship the Buddha, she hurriedly went to tell Murong Wei.

"Oh? It's a coincidence that the third sibling is also here."

Murong Wei asked people to talk about it.

Not long after, Princess Chu and Mrs. Dingguo came together. Murong Wei was watching the scenery in the pavilion. Seeing them coming, she went up to talk with a smile.

"I didn't expect it to be the second sister-in-law, but it's a coincidence."

Concubine Chu said with a smile, and Mrs. Dingguo and Grandma Lu also stepped forward to greet her.

Murong Wei returned a half salute, raised her eyebrows and said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, it can be seen that it's fate."

So please enter the pavilion to talk.

The little novice in the temple gave melons and fruit vegetarian food, looked down from the height, but felt that there were so many flowers and trees, and the koi swimming in the release pond below, it was very uncomfortable.

"It's said that it's the Buddha's mercy, and I see it too." Grandma Lu San was still joking as usual, pointing at the pagoda happily and said, "With so many noble people here today, the pagoda is glowing!"

Murong Wei immediately became happy when she saw it, the pagoda was clearly reflected by the tiles in the sun, she said that, it was to welcome them!

Murong Wei smiled and trembled, Princess Chu also laughed and scolded: "That's a coincidence, but I will come to see it on a rainy day tomorrow. According to my sister-in-law, isn't the sun also out for us?"

Third Grandma Lu spread her hands together: "It still depends on fate. If the eyes of the Buddha are closed, it will naturally be illuminated by the Buddha's light. It seems that today is indeed a good day. I think we might as well plant a tree in this temple. It says This stele, changing it tomorrow will become an elegant thing, which is interesting. When people come to see it a hundred years later, they will definitely be amazed."

Mrs. Dingguo laughed and said, "Only you love present."

Murong Wei looked around, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Although it's not a good time to plant trees, it's okay to plant flowers."

Grandma Lu San was quite moved, and insisted on persuading them to let people plant flowers in this temple, and then racked their brains to ask everyone to compose a poem, simply compile it into a book, and in the future, they will also make an ancient and elegant event like the preface to the Lanting Collection .

Murong Wei refused, because she couldn't write this word well, so let Princess Chu, a talented beauty, do the preface.

She still knows how much she weighs.

Although I have read the Four Books and Five Classics and the Confucian classics in the past few years, I feel superficial in the end, but only a rough understanding.

Speaking of it, a few people are just fooling around, but how many years later, this thing has really become famous all over the world.

So I asked people to open up a garden nearby. Although there were no saplings, some flowers and trees were transplanted into it, and people prepared to carve their poems into stone tablets, and donate them to Xiangguo Temple at that time. .

Married women like them don't pay as much attention to going in and out of the boudoir, so they are much happier than the boudoir.

Murong Wei was also happy in her heart, the noise continued till noon, and it was hot outside, so she made an appointment to rest in the abode.

There is a cool breeze blowing in this abode, the time in early summer is very leisurely, but also very slow.

Murong Wei held a round fan in her hand and fanned it slowly. Princess Chu ate melons and said, "Second Sister-in-law, I heard that Second Brother is going to patrol the Yongding River. I'm afraid it will take seven or eight days to come back?"

"Yes, it's only been two days since I left. The weather is also hot, and he just doesn't stop. How can it be like the third brother is studying in the capital leisurely?"

If it is possible, Murong Wei actually doesn't want Xiao Mingrui to do big things, even being a virtuous king like King Chu is not impossible.

It's just that since he chose this matter, and the current situation is like this, there is no room for Xiao Mingrui to choose.

Princess Chu shook her head: "They are all loyal to the emperor."

Murong Wei asked her how she was doing recently.

Princess Chu smiled wryly and said: "The raising is almost done, but now it can't be like in the past. It's time to be taboo again."

Murong Wei thought for a while and said, "Eat more light food, but pay attention to nutrition. It's better to eat less greasy food. I think the second sister-in-law looks pretty good."

Ever since Princess Chu's child died, she has been depressed, and this is the first time she has gone out for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Murong Wei advised her a few words.

In any case, life must go on.

Overthinking is useless.

After raising her body well, Princess Chu will always need an heir.

No matter how depressed the king of Chu is, he still cannot have children.

Although no one knows what problems the child will have, it is even more impossible for him to bear the extinction of heirs.

The ancients paid the most attention to this matter.

Something vaguely came to Murong Wei's mind, since that was the case, Xiao Mingrui was probably very anxious, right?

Even if he is not in a hurry, can the Emperor Jianwu not be in a hurry?

At this time, there is no need to say more, many things are clear to the chest.

It's just that whether the child has it is God's will. No matter how much she pays attention to it, it doesn't mean that she can have it if she wants it.

Concubine Chu cleaned her hands, turned around and looked at Murong Wei, seeing that she seemed a little depressed, her eyes flickered, and then she said: "Second sister-in-law, don't think too much about those troublesome things. You see, second brother is right You are very respectful, outside...hehe, why do you care about some villains making trouble? You are a princess, who can be bigger than you?"

Murong Wei looked at Princess Chu with a little surprise: "Why did my brother and sister say that?"

Concubine Chu's fine eyebrows were raised, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. After thinking about it, it's impossible that the second sister-in-law didn't know about this.

So, I'm afraid she doesn't want to say it in front of people?

Of course Princess Chu would not let her lose face and come down from the stage, so she smiled and said: "I mean, you don't have to worry about the second sister-in-law. The child's matter is God's will. The second brother loves you very much. Are you a man? There is always something wrong, look at my prince... Then there are side concubines and so on, I still envy you."

Murong Wei still felt a little weird, and laughed at herself: "You're right, children's affairs can't be rushed. Whether the third sibling is envious or not, everyone has their own hard-to-recite scriptures."

The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. Dingguo came over and said that something happened at home and she wanted to go back temporarily.

Murong Wei thought that it was getting late, so she also bid farewell to them and prepared to go back home.

After Murong Wei left, Princess Chu looked at her back and sighed: "It's a pity."

Grandma Lu San wondered, "What a pity?"

Concubine Chu sighed: "I mean the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law. It's a good story. It's a pity. What's wrong with the second sister-in-law? It's really sad for the second brother to do this."

Third Grandma Lu hissed: "Why do I look at Concubine Luo as if she doesn't know anything? If that's the case, why is she so happy?"

Mrs. Dingguo said indifferently: "What's so strange about that, aren't all men like this, what can we do with other women for them, let's just look for life and death?"

The third grandma Lu thought about it, and laughed at herself: "Isn't it? I thought Princess Luo and King Luo had a deep relationship. Didn't Princess Luo say that she was jealous outside? It really doesn't look like it. This measure, tsk tsk ..."

Concubine Chu was taken aback, thinking of Murong Wei's appearance just now, her eyes widened, wouldn't the second sister-in-law still know nothing about it?

Murong Wei also didn't expect that there was something hidden in it.

All the way back to the palace, Murong Wei thought of what Princess Chu said before, and always felt that there was something in her words.

After thinking about it, I don't know what she is referring to.

I was about to call Mother Zheng later to ask if anything happened in the palace and outside recently, but who knew that something happened in Tianxiangyuan.

Murong Wei had just entered the courtyard, and when she passed through the middle hall, she heard a burst of noisy voices coming from the front.

Yue Gu frowned and looked: "What's going on, servant girl, let's go and have a look, these little hooves, if the princess is not here, they will fall apart!"

As he spoke, he hurried up a few steps to have a look.

Murong Wei came after her, but seeing the situation in front of her, her almond eyes widened in surprise.

Xiangtao was pointing at Aunt Aichun, while a few servant girls beside her were startled and angry, whispering.

With a pale face, Aichun leaned to the side to support the pillar, and several young eunuchs watched around and dared not go forward.

"You little hoof, I'll beat you to death today, you shameless bastard! Smelly fox!"

Xiangtao was about to go crazy, she went up and grabbed Aichun's clothes, then grabbed her hair.

Aunt Yue was rushing over when she saw this situation and called out: "Xiang Tao, what are you doing, are you crazy?"

Xiangtao didn't go to worship Buddha with Murong Wei today, because the sunflower water came and she didn't feel well, so she didn't want to stay at home, so she got into a fight with Aichun.

Murong Wei was wondering what happened to cause the two sides to fight like this.

Qingqiu next to him seemed to have come to his senses, went up to hold Xiangtao and said, "Stop beating! Xiangtao, don't forget that she is not something you can beat now."

Xiangtao's face turned purple eggplant color, her chest heaved sharply, she pointed at Aichun and cursed: "I can't beat you? Bah, I'll beat this kind of vixen for the princess!"

Yuegu still doesn't know why, she has been busy worshiping the Buddha after recovering recently, and she didn't notice that the situation was turbulent.

Lu'er, who was waiting with Murong Wei, saw this situation, and her expression changed drastically.

When Murong Wei saw her expression became more suspicious, seeing that Lu'er was about to speak, she glanced over coldly, but just stood at the corner without saying a word.

Aichun's face was pale, at this time she was supported by the little maid beside her, she turned her head to look at Xiangtao, there was a flash of anger in her eyes, she just said in a hateful voice: "Everyone is a servant of the palace, why do you insult me ​​like this?"

Yuegu asked, "Xiangtao, what's wrong?"

Seeing Aichun like that, Xiangtao thought of her own princess, and suddenly felt sad and burst into tears.

"This bitch, she's pregnant!"

She cried out of breath, thinking about her princess felt wronged, and cried even harder.

Aunt Yue was taken aback, she couldn't believe it when she heard this just now.

How is this possible?
"What, how could she be pregnant? How do you know?"

"Just now when she smelled the fishy smell, she got sick and vomited outside. Isn't this sick or what?"

Murong Wei was taken aback, she couldn't believe it just like Aunt Yue.

Aichun sick?
How can this be?

This girl Xiangtao is just thinking wildly, right?

I haven't heard that Aichun is getting better with anyone in the house, so how could she be unhappy?
Yue Gu's eyes widened, and she didn't dare to say anything: "Are you sick, girl? Aichun, have you eaten up your stomach? This is a matter of your reputation, let me hear it."

Aichun's face softened a little, but at this moment he said: "I don't know what Xiangtao said, but I need to ask the imperial physician..."

There was a sharp scolding sound, Madam Zheng ran out from nowhere, she saw Murong Wei from afar, so she hastily stopped Ai Chun's words.

"My servant pays my respects to the concubine." Madam Zheng hurriedly knelt down, "Princess, isn't this girl Aichun..."

"Let her talk."

Murong Wei looked over coldly.

At this moment, she was calm on the surface, but there was an uproar in her heart.

She is not a fool. Seeing the situation just now, there is no reason why she doesn't understand!

Xiangtao is not a vexatious person, if it was for no reason, how could she regard vomiting as morning sickness?

How could Aichun get pregnant without a man?

When they saw Murong Wei appearing, all the people present were stunned.

Xiangtao stopped crying immediately, her mind was in a mess, she just felt horrified.

It's bad, the princess knows it, isn't it going to be terrible next time!

Xiangtao only thinks that this matter is very bad.

Aichun's mind went blank for a moment.

Seeing Murong Wei pacing unhurriedly, the majesty accumulated for a long time at the top made Aichun feel breathless for a while!

She has been by Murong Wei's side for a long time, and she dare not be presumptuous at this moment. She has no courage at all to face Murong Wei.

Madam Zheng was also anxious, thinking how could it be possible for the princess to know about this matter?

At that time, Thunder will be furious, really...

Murong Wei had already walked to the corridor, and in the cage hanging under the corridor, a parrot was imitating: "I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant..."

Xiangtao was so annoyed that she waved her hand and hit the cage.

Murong Wei glanced at the people present and saw that there was indeed filth in the corridor, so she frowned and said coldly: "Talk to the flower hall, don't embarrass yourself here!"

She is still just thinking about it, is it because Aichun is dating some guard boy in the mansion?
It's ugly, but not impossible.

But another idea popped up in her mind, but she didn't believe it was possible at all.

Murong Wei went to sit in the West Flower Hall, and saw that Aichun and Xiangtao had come, Mother Zheng and Aunt Yue were also on the side, Lu'er kept her head down and did not speak, and occasionally exchanged glances with Xiangtao.

The hall was very quiet.

"Tell me, Aichun, do you really have a child?"

When things got to such an extent, Aichun now thought that she might be pregnant, and for the sake of the child, she had to fight!

The bigger the mess, the better, but many people saw it just now.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the outside world will know.

Even the princess, she can't do anything to herself.

"My servant still doesn't know..." She said with a look of fear, "My servant, I dare not hide the truth from the princess, so my servant is probably happy."

Murong Wei gathered her eyebrows together, and said displeasedly: "Since you have someone you like, why didn't you tell this concubine earlier? Isn't it good that the matchmaker is getting married? Now that you are pregnant before marriage, wouldn't it be nice to say it?"

A cold light flashed in Zheng Nanny's eyes, and she thought, the prince is not in the mansion right now, the girl Xiangtao was really stupid just now, if she secretly reported to me, wouldn't it be so easy to make this child disappear?
Now that there is such a big commotion, I am afraid that this woman is deliberately making a big fuss, hmph, she really has a lot of scheming!

She does not allow anyone to threaten the status of the princess and her son.

"Princess, my servant sees that Aichun does not abide by women's ways and does such despicable things in secret, please expel the concubine from the palace, and don't let her ruin the reputation of the Luo palace!"

Sister Zheng stepped forward with a sneer and secretly glanced at Lu'er and Xiangtao.

At this time, Xiangtao also became annoyed, she really shouldn't have made a big fuss just now, so this can be regarded as a compliment to this little bitch!
Aichun's pupils contracted, but seeing Lu'er had come over, they were bold enough to do something illegal to her!

Aichun didn't expect Madam Zheng to be so courageous and ruthless.Who dared to attack her and pretended that the princess had killed her in a fit of rage? Who would know?

Even if the prince comes back, he has nothing to say.

Who told you to hide it from Murong Wei? What if you killed him without knowing it?

It happened that the prince was not in the mansion.

Aichun had a strong crisis, seeing Xiangtao pounced on her, she rolled to Murong Wei's feet and shouted: "My child belongs to the prince!"

Xiangtao became furious, stepped forward to grab her, took a handkerchief to gag her mouth, Zheng Nanny also went up and held down Aichun, and scolded: "Bah, you are shameless, how dare you slander the prince? I don't know Where did you get the bastard, the concubine's face will be embarrassing for you!"

Madam Zheng was very strong, Aichun was held down by her for a while, and Aunt Yue next to her didn't know what happened, but she still stepped forward to help, this time, Aichun was caught and couldn't move.

Murong Wei was so shocked by the farce in front of her that she didn't react for a moment.

Madam Zheng shouted: "Princess, in order to set the record straight, servant girl please give this lowly maidservant medicine to abort her, and then beat her to death."

Ai Chun struggled desperately, she faltered and looked at Murong Wei, her eyes were full of pleading.

"Yes, that's the way it is!" Xiang Tao told Lu'er to find medicine.

"Hold on."

Murong Wei clenched the armrest, closed her eyes, opened her eyes like lightning, and glanced at them coldly: "She said the child belongs to the prince?"

"Princess, how is it possible, not..."

"Shut up!" Her heart fluctuated, she suddenly patted the table, and said angrily: "You tell her that this concubine wants to ask clearly today, you all step aside."

A most improbable fact seemed to lie before her eyes.

Although she didn't want to believe it was true, she just wanted to hear what Ai Chun said.

Madam Zheng was horrified, seeing that the concubine was furious, she knew that there was no way to stop her, but she couldn't think about it for a while, so she had to let Aichun go.

As soon as Ai Chun got her freedom, she knelt down in front of Murong Wei and cried: "Princess, servant girl, this servant girl really doesn't mess up the palace. It's just that I was favored by the prince for a while, and this servant girl can only obey. This is Mr. Su, Mr. Xiaoluzi." They all know that the servant girl is pregnant, and she is also the son of the prince. Princess, please spare the servant girl for the sake of the prince. Although the servant girl is humble, the child is a golden branch and jade leaf..."

The handrail that Murong Wei held tightly in her hand rattled and rattled.

Her originally rosy face had turned livid at this moment, but she asked unusually calmly: "Do you have a living certificate?"

"some……"

"How long has it been?"

"My maidservant, Kuishui, has not arrived yet, I think she is more than a month pregnant." Ai Chun looked at her timidly, at this moment, she could only deal with Murong Wei with a low profile.

More than a month?
That's when she gets sick.

Her face turned from livid to flushed.

Thinking of Xiao Mingrui's hesitant appearance and several abnormal expressions before, and thinking of Xiangtao and the maidservants who have ridiculed Aichun for more than a day, and today, Mother Zheng suddenly asked to kill Aichun. What do not understand!
She was outraged.

She is not a fool, how can she bear such a ridiculous statement!
Seeing Nanny Zheng, Lu'er, and Xiangtao, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

It turned out that everyone knew about it, only her, Murong Wei, was the fool, the last one to know!
It turned out that she was so stupid, and she had been deceived for so long.

Now, she only felt that her whole body was like a volcano, and the accumulated magma erupted with her emotions, almost burning her to death.

Speak and laugh at Yan Yan, the smile is like a spring flower blooming, beautiful and gentle.

Ai Chun shivered, feeling that Murong Wei's smile was as terrifying as a bloodthirsty demon.

At this moment, instead of being angry, he is smiling. Should that be a sign of extreme anger?
"That's great." Murong Wei laughed: "So you were the one who served the prince during my illness?"

"Slaves, servants are also pitied by the prince, so they really dare not go behind the back of the master and the prince..."

Murong Wei waved her hand, and said lightly: "That's fine, lest someone always say that this princess is jealous. Hehe, the prince is also true, but he is just a concubine, so don't tell me. Let you serve me under my command, It's really inappropriate."

She looked at Madam Zheng, "Mother Zheng, why didn't you remind me?"

Madam Zheng was icy all over, she knelt down and kowtowed fiercely: "Damn this servant, it was because this servant didn't notice."

Murong Wei smiled understandingly: "Look at what happened. Since you are pregnant, it is not convenient to do things, and send her back to rest. Didn't Su De go to Yongding River with the prince? Let him arrange it. When the prince comes back, I will give you a title. How about being a side concubine?"

Ai Chun didn't know why Murong Wei was so kind all of a sudden, it couldn't be the concubine's temper.

"Slaves dare not..."

"Why don't you dare." She smiled softly, "The side concubine is still not satisfied, so how about letting me, the concubine, be given to you?"

Aichun was too frightened to say anything.

"Take her down."

She doesn't want to see this woman for a moment now.

No, no, she doesn't even have a child!

Aichun hurriedly got up and left.

As soon as she went out, she broke out in a cold sweat.

If the princess is like this, do you admit her?
The surrounding maids all looked at Ai Chun with complex expressions, some were contemptuous, some were envious, and some were aggrieved, mocking secretly.

And in the flower hall, there was silence at the moment.

The smile on Murong Wei's face disappeared.

"Tell me, don't you want to be a princess at all?"

She looked at Madam Zheng, Xiangtao and the others with sharp eyes, "You guys let me down very much."

Everyone knew about it, but she was the only one who kept it from her.

Murong Wei's anger can be imagined, and there is even more humiliation and resentment of being betrayed.

They made her the No. [-] fool in Tianzi!

It became a big joke!

Xiangtao knelt on one side and began to cry: "I'm sorry for the princess, my servant deserves to die!"
