Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 85

Murong Wei said modestly: "Second sister is too much, there are people out there who are beyond the reach of others, so don't take it lightly at any time. Also, your health is very good, what kind of tonic do you take? The medicine is three-point poisonous, and the medicine is not as good as the food. You wait for me Write a taboo list for you, there are some things you must not eat, and you must also prevent someone from attacking you. I believe that with my sister's intelligence, I will be able to do well."

Murong Yue watched her write the list, and said: "I know some of these. I have read books like "Drinking Meals" before, and I also know what my aunt and mother taught me. It's just that I have entered the mansion since I entered the house. I have never seen anyone try to kill me."

"People don't hurt a tiger's heart, tigers hurt people's feelings, and people's hearts are changeable. If the maids around her are also thinking about it, it's hard to know what tricks they use. Sister, you still have to pay attention. Of course, if it takes a long time to go through the investigation, it will be difficult to know." There is no need to stare at it all, if there is no one who believes in it, it will be very tiring."

She finished writing the list and handed it to her, "Second sister put it away, my sister sincerely hopes that my sister will live well."

Murong Yue hugged her shoulders movedly, and sighed: "You have to be a sister to treat me like this. Wei'er, don't just worry about your sister, you have to pay attention to yourself. The palace is no better than mine, but Presumably with your means, you can live a good life."

Murong Wei smiled and said, "Well, thank you Second Sister. I know, ahem, actually, it wasn't when you were pregnant, it's not impossible..."

As she whispered into her ear, Murong Yue blushed, punched her, and scolded with a smile: "Damn girl, you know a lot, this...is this possible?"

Murong Wei nodded: "Yes, do you want to push your brother-in-law to another woman? The husband is yours, so why be shy? If you don't use some tricks, how can you make them give up?"

The two sisters talked for a while, Murong Wei saw that it was getting late, and didn't stay for dinner, so she left with her maid.

Xiangtao got into the car to wait on her, gossiping on the side: "Miss, have you seen that maidservant? She looks so arrogant and annoying. What are you dragging? It's great to be a roommate. Besides, the second son-in-law hasn't Talk about taking over the house."

Murong Wei knew that she must have known about it from the maid of her second sister's natal family, everyone came from Murong's residence and knew each other, so Xiangtao knew a lot of things.

Murong Wei sighed: "A's honey, B's arsenic. You think it's nothing, but they think they are great. Maybe they want to pursue this."

Xiangtao pursed her lips, and said disdainfully: "I'm so shameless, what kind of bed do you want to climb? You are treated like a child, and you spend a lot of money on serving the eldest wife, and you have to serve tea and water. My own mother has to be raised by the eldest lady, why not be a nanny in charge."

Murong Wei smiled and asked, "Xiang Tao is not interested?"

"No, I don't want to be a concubine." She shook her head like a wave drum, "How uncomfortable? I want to be a big wife, hehe, if that guy dares to take a concubine, I will interrupt him dog legs."

Murong Wei laughed so hard that her branches trembled, this girl is really tough, she really shouldn't have been born here, she was born in the 21st century, she was also a sassy girlfriend.

Murong Wei frowned, thinking about something on her mind, if she was pregnant, would Xiao Mingrui...

Hmph, if he dares, she will break off relations with him if she doesn't break his dog legs.

However, she smiled slightly, she believed that Xiao Mingrui would not do this.

It is easy to fall in love, but difficult to get along. Marriage needs to be managed.

She has confidence in herself, and she has confidence in him.

She will manage well what she wants. Happiness doesn't just fall out of thin air, it's something she strives for.

Waiting for a man to pity you and not wanting to give is not going to work.

"Princess, what are you laughing at? This servant is serious."

Murong Wei patted her on the shoulder and said, "I sympathize with your future husband. If Xiangtao has someone he likes, tell me early, and I will definitely prepare a dowry for you."

A touch of red glowed on Xiangtao's pretty face: "Princess Wang is making fun of him again. He is still young, so I don't want to do this."

Seeing that she arrived at Luo Wang Mansion, Murong Wei changed to the green wall car, passed through the front hall of the palace gate, and then entered the inner courtyard of the Wang Mansion. She was about to get off the car when she arrived in front of the Cunxin Hall, when suddenly there was a noise outside, which disturbed her. Chariots and horses.

"what happened?"

Xiangtao opened the curtain, Murong Wei looked through the curtain, but saw a woman in ragged clothes and disheveled hair running straight towards the carriage, the old lady and the maid and eunuch beside the carriage hurried forward to stop her.

"Bold, how dare you attack the princess!" The old lady grabbed the woman who was trying to rush forward and cursed: "Come on, quickly take this crazy woman away."

Murong Wei was a little surprised, who is this?

"Princess! This servant is Yicui, please save this servant, since I am from the Murong family..."

Halfway through the woman's yelling, she was quickly gagged by the old woman beside her.

Murong Wei was taken aback, and took a closer look. The woman in front of her was disheveled, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were disheveled. Crazy and pleading desperate eyes.

She almost didn't recognize it. If it wasn't for Yi Cui's words, Murong Wei would never believe that the woman in front of her was the once very enchanting girl.

"How did she become like this?" Murong Wei was stunned for a moment, it hasn't been long, how did the old eunuch Su De torment her, how did he make a good person into such a virtue?

Although this woman was delusional about Xiao Mingrui, after all, they didn't have a deep hatred with Murong Wei, so she didn't just want to kill him.

She couldn't believe the girl in front of her for a moment.

And what she yelled...

When people found out, they thought she was harsh on her servants.

Murong Wei was a little upset, she asked for this behavior today, but now she remembered that she was the maid of Murong's family?
Xiangtao clicked her tongue and said: "God, the slaves didn't even recognize it!"

At this moment, Su De, who was in a panic, ran over, saw Murong Wei's car, and saw Yi Cui, stepped forward and scolded strangely: "What are you running around like, what place are you, how dare you bump into the princess! "

Seeing the situation, Murong Wei got out of the car, Su De hurried over to greet him, and blamed himself: "The old slave didn't take care of it, and bumped into the princess, and I ask the princess to punish me."

Su De's expression softened, at this time Yi Cui suddenly broke away from the others vigorously, and suddenly shouted: "Princess, please save me, my servant should not stay with Su Gonggong, please forgive me..."

Su De was so angry that he kicked her away, "What nonsense are you talking about, maidservant? Did our family treat you badly? You made a great wish to cultivate for the Buddha, but now you are a fool!"

Murong Wei was also a little angry, saying something in front of so many people to let her spare her, as if she caused her to be like this.

Make your own way!

Murong Wei had a little bit of sympathy at first, but she lost it at this time.

If she does not reflect on her own mistakes, does she still want to corrupt her in front of people?
Murong Wei said lightly: "Yicui, although our master and servant have some sympathy, but you were punished by the prince, and you should follow the rules of the prince's mansion at this time. My princess should lead by example. Since you don't obey the rules, you will be fined That's right. Eunuch Su, isn't she in the Qing Dynasty? It seems that she doesn't want to go to the ordinary place of the palace to do the Qing Dynasty. Send her to the temple to do the Qing Dynasty. It can be regarded as accumulating virtue, Amitabha, so good. "

The people around were stunned, Xiangtao almost laughed out loud, her shoulders shrugged, apparently holding back her laughter.

Yicui's complexion changed again and again, and suddenly she burst out laughing: "Well, well, I'd rather become a monk!"

She doesn't want to stay in this ghost place anymore, she might as well go to the temple to feel at ease.

When Su De heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and then wiped off his sweat, Wangfei, you are also a master.

There was a burst of laughter from the side, Murong Wei heard it familiarly, and when she looked back, she saw Xiao Mingrui was returning to Cunxin Hall.

Everyone hastened to salute.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Mingrui couldn't help walking to her side, "My concubine is a good way, let her pray to the Buddha in the temple. My Buddha is merciful, and I hope she will become a Buddha soon."

Murong Wei shot him a look with a smile, "My lord is so merciful."

The two couples also ignored Yi Cui who was in a daze, turned around and left.

The onlookers watched Su De angrily send Yi Cui away, and there was a lot of discussion.

Some said that the concubine was really powerful, and some said how this girl turned into such a ghost.

Only Yi Cui was crazy and laughed at other times.

She was finally leaving this ghost place.

And that horrible dead eunuch!
Thinking of the days before, she couldn't help trembling. The old eunuch locked her in a place with only walls and a table on all sides. He smiled and asked her to stand in front of the Buddha statue and recite Buddhist scriptures. To make it convenient for her, he didn't beat or scold her, just torturing her like that.

When she couldn't bear it and fainted, he still asked her to read Buddhist scriptures, and only gave her one meal a day, and that was it. Soon she was reciting Buddhist scriptures like crazy, and no one around her talked to her, and she was about to collapse.

She will never go back!

King Qi returned to the palace and learned that the son is awake now, although he still feels unwell, as long as he recuperates for a while, he will be fine.

It's just that the side concubine Li Shi is unconscious, and she hasn't woken up until now.

King Qi went to see it for a while, and when he came back, he hated Princess Qi even more.

Why do you say that you made trouble in this building, and now I am also punished by the emperor.

Father's words clearly blamed me for not taking good care of the family. With such a prodigal woman, what else can he say?
King Qi returned to his study and asked his staff to discuss the matter. Everyone was also very worried about the unfavorable situation in front of them.

"Perhaps father thinks that the queen may have a son, so it doesn't matter?" King Qi said calmly.

"Otherwise, after all, the queen is still the birth of a prince, and there is no guarantee that she will be a prince, and a child, how can Huang be entrusted with the important affairs of the family..."

"Can't guarantee it?" King Qi's eyes flashed, "Didn't Imperial Physician Zhu retire?"

That old guy is very smart, he hurriedly retired at this time, but it is impossible to say that the father does not want to know whether it is the emperor or the princess.After all, the old man's medical skills are really good.

He didn't believe that his father would not let him enter the palace to check the queen's pulse.

As long as he knows, he will definitely be able to let the air out from there.

King Qi felt that the matter was not that simple, so he thought about it for a while and discussed it with his staff.

In the evening, the husband and wife had a rest, Xiao Mingrui put his arms around her and sighed: "Father asked me to ask, and it seems that Father means to send me. After a few days, I'm afraid I will go south."

Murong Wei was startled, nestled in his arms, and nodded.

Xiao Mingrui felt ashamed of being newlywed but had to part. He felt guilty for a moment, and sighed: "Wei'er, I... just wait, I will definitely come back sooner."

Although Murong Wei was reluctant for him to leave, her husband and wife had a strong relationship and always liked to get together, but she was also very rational and didn't want to stop her husband here, so what's the use?

Such and such is nothing but self-deception.

He is the man who will do great things.

"I just want to..." She stared at him with a smile and annoyance, her eyes rolling: "Husband, may I sing a song for you?"

Xiao Mingrui was curious: "Why do I think of singing now, okay, let's sing, and listen carefully for my husband."

Murong Wei was wrapped in a quilt, cleared her throat, and sang to him with a smile: "I have something to say when I send you off to the small village. Although the flowers are already blooming...you don't want to pick the wild flowers on the side of the road..."

Xiao Mingrui burst out laughing loudly, and almost fell off the bed.

Murong Wei was annoyed: "What are you laughing at, you sing so badly?"

Xiao Mingrui quickly waved his hands and said: "It's nice, it's nice, it's definitely a fairy sound from the sky, and it's unmatched in the world. My husband was just stunned for a moment, I never thought that I could hear such a fairy sound today."

Murong Wei snorted, turned half of her face away, blinked her curled eyelashes, and said with a touch of anger, "You're laughing at me again! I must have hit your heart, are you planning to go out to pick wild flowers?"

That shy and angry demeanor looked unparalleled under the lamp.

Xiao Mingrui had a smile on his face: "Hey, baby, why do I like those wild flowers? With a house flower like you, which is so beautiful, why do you want those wild flowers?"

Only then did Murong Wei turn anger into joy, and stared back at him, "Agreed?"

Xiao Mingrui laughed and said: "My husband is out on errands, how can I have that free time to go out singing the wind and enjoying the moon?"

"I don't care how you play around outside, as long as you remember what you promised me."

"Husband remembers."

Sure enough, two days later, the emperor sent Xiao Mingrui to Jiangnan as expected.

It is said that I will leave on the fifteenth day, and it will not be a few days before I prepare things.

Fortunately, Murong Wei had already been prepared, and she was not very nervous.

This day, Murong Wei was asking people to pack up the clothes and things they brought, as well as pills for daily use, such as pills for invigorating the stomach and eliminating food, sachets for heatstroke prevention, heatstroke beads, and a lot of various pills.

Then let people prepare some food and other things for the road, books and so on, and Larry also has to pack a few carriages.

Murong Wei's menstruation was just over, seeing her menstruation coming, the two nuns were very anxious.

Seeing that she was getting something prepared, Yuegu stepped forward and sighed.

Murong Wei said helplessly: "Gu Yue, you have been studying for several days, am I still young?"

She prepared her own contraceptive sachet and medicine, how could she get pregnant?

Yuegu nodded, with a complicated expression: "I also know that it is too early for the princess to get pregnant, but otherwise, how can those little hooves not act rashly? Now the prince is going to the south, and I don't know how long it will take. The princess should take advantage of it." These days..."

Murong Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, my good nanny, don't read it anymore, I know. The prince is not in the mansion, but there are no such things in this mansion."

Yuegu thinks so, if the prince is not here, the princess will be the biggest in the house, who would dare to make things difficult for her?
Besides, he is not in the capital anymore, and it is not surprising that the princess is not pregnant. Who can get pregnant immediately after getting married, how can it be such a coincidence?

Yuegu nodded: "It seems that it is better to take good care of the princess, and the princess should also take more supplements."

Murong Wei is usually too lazy to take those supplements, but it doesn't mean she won't take them. She often eats some things that are good for women, such as snow clams.

At this time, Xiao Luzi came to report that Xiao Mingrui invited her to the Hall of Mind.

Murong Wei didn't know what he wanted her to do, so she packed up and went to Cunxin Hall.

Bypassing the corridor and the corridor, passing through the gate for a month, and walking forward for a while, you will arrive at the main hall in front of the Cunxin Temple.

After entering the hall, Su De was waiting at the door, seeing her, he hurriedly said: "Princess, the prince is in the small study, please go over."

"What's the matter, my lord?"

"This old slave doesn't know, but Mr. Li and King Qin are inside."

King Qin is the fifth prince, and Mr. Li is Li Jishan.

One is the emperor's younger brother and the other is the most trusted staff member. Now she has thought of why Murong Wei was asked to go.

Sure enough, when he entered the small study room for meeting guests in the Cunxin Palace, he saw Xiao Mingrui was holding a middle-aged staff member wearing cocoon silk trimmings and a man wearing a moon white panlong robe and black hair tied with a Tang scarf beside him. Talking to the boy who kept fanning the gold-painted folding fan.

Seeing Murong Wei coming in, Li Jishan and Xiao Mingchen both got up to greet them.

Murong Wei turned sideways and said dare not, returned the gift, and then asked with a smile: "I don't know if the lord called my concubine here, what can I ask?"

Xiao Mingchen took the gold-painted fan with a unique cartoon dragon pendant and put it away. It was given to him by Murong Wei, and he blinked: "Why, didn't the second brother tell the sister-in-law?"

Xiao Mingrui asked her to sit down: "Princess, now I'm going to the south of the Yangtze River. I will hand over the internal affairs of the palace to you, and Mr. Li will take care of the external affairs. If there is anything difficult to decide, you can discuss it with Mr. Li. There are five brothers, and the second brother is not in the capital, so you have to take care of me carefully."

Xiao Mingchen sat upright, and said solemnly: "Of course, it's a pity, second brother, you're not in the house, so I won't be able to come and eat in the future."

Murong Wei understood, and nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, this concubine will definitely take care of the government affairs for you."

There is a reason for Xiao Mingchen to say this, after all his elder brother is not in the mansion, it is not good for him as a younger brother-in-law to come to the mansion often, lest the melon fields fall under the plums and cause people to gossip.

It is inconvenient for a woman Murong Wei to entertain outsiders at this time.

Xiao Mingrui glared at him: "Come to my place thinking about eating, I don't know how many good things I asked your sister-in-law for!"

Xiao Mingchen had a playful smile on his face, and he was not in the right shape. Li Jishan was able to stay here. Seeing their family's kind appearance, he was obviously a confidant who was highly valued, so he relaxed his posture in front of him.

"The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. The younger brother doesn't come to beg for his elder brother's sister-in-law, but someone else. Could it be that he is going to beg for the elder brother's. I heard that the elder brother's family has not been peaceful recently."

Xiao Mingrui knew very well that King Qi's family was in a state of chaos recently anyway, and Concubine Li would not let it go after waking up. The family members came to visit and asked King Qi to uphold justice, but King Qi would not admit this matter, Concubine Qi is not a vegetarian either, instead she beat her up and blamed others.

It's very lively now.

King Qi didn't give Princess Qi a good look, and the couple had a very unpleasant quarrel. He also blamed Concubine Li for not knowing what to do, and wanted to make things big and affect his reputation, so Concubine Li was annoyed.

On the contrary, a concubine in the mansion is gentle and caring, and won the favor of King Qi, but now she has suddenly emerged.

The fifth prince had a great time watching the excitement, and he regarded the Qi Wang family's affairs as if he was watching a big show, and he wanted to talk about it when he didn't come back.

Murong Wei visited Princess Qi once, but she did not see Princess Qi, it is said that she was ill.

Now this matter is spreading in the capital, it is really lively.

I don't know which hooligans and idlers make up and make up, it's getting more and more outrageous.

The things that these citizens like most about those big houses and wealthy families are now regarded as a joke after dinner, and they talk about it non-stop.

King Qi has not been in court for several days, saying that he is thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors.

Seeing this situation, many people laughed secretly.

It's just that this is a private matter of others, and others can't say anything.

Murong Wei also heard about Qi Wang's affairs from time to time, and it was very lively, so she just watched it as a good show.

Xiao Mingrui said indifferently: "Brother's house is causing trouble, why are you so happy?"

Xiao Mingchen raised his eyebrows and said: "Second brother, you have the opportunity to go to Jiangnan, but I don't have the opportunity. This is just boring. Can you ask Father to take me too?"

Xiao Mingrui said helplessly: "Do you think I'm here to play?"

Li Jishan stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, Prince Qin, don't need to be so anxious. The current situation in Beijing is unpredictable, and it is inevitable to keep someone in the capital. Of course, His Royal Highness, King Qin will definitely have the opportunity to go to the south of the Yangtze River in the future."

Murong Wei is also a little curious, in fact, she also really wants to see the landscape of Jiangnan at this time, and has been staying in the north, wondering what Jiangnan is like at this time?

In the sunrise, the flowers are more red than the fire, and in spring the river is as green as blue. Can you not remember the south of the Yangtze River?
At this time, the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River must be much more beautiful than in the previous life. The small bridges and flowing water between the mountains and rivers like ink paintings are really very elegant.

Xiao Mingchen also just muttered, of course he knew he couldn't get out, isn't this whining?
There is no good way.

Seeing them chatting, Murong Wei turned around and went back to Tianxiang Garden without saying anything.

"Princess, just now your uncle's family sent you a post, and you want to visit at your house." Madam Zheng came over with a post.

Murong Wei glanced at the paper sprinkled with gold, and nodded: "A few of my cousins ​​are here to play, you can ask someone to clean up tomorrow, and the prince's luggage is almost packed, check again to see if there is anything you have forgotten."

Xiangtao was on the sidelines and said, "Is it convenient for the prince to bring so many things? Didn't he go south by boat?"

Murong Wei glanced at her: "It's only convenient to take a boat. There's nothing good on board, so it's better to bring it from home."

Xiangtao murmured to herself, seeing the prince's wry smile, she didn't seem to want to take so many things to Jiangnan.

After all, he was on a business trip.

But it's always better to be prepared, and it's better to bring more than less.

The next morning, several cousins ​​of the Zhou family came to the palace.

Murong Wei had already had people waiting at the Chuihua Gate of the Wangfu. The girls Yuting, Yumei, and Yuwan came with the three aunts. The cousins ​​were away, but Zhou Yan, the younger cousin of the third uncle's family, came together. , only five years old.

After all, they all grew up in the capital, and their family is also a family of officials, so it is not surprising that they have participated in some banquets in the capital, but they have little contact with the palace.

It was the first time to come back to Luowang Mansion.

Arriving in front of the Chuihua Gate, I saw a woman wearing maroon silk gauze bijia, neatly combed hair, fair and clean, with a golden hairpin on her head, and sharp eyes.

Accompanied by a few maidservants, the woman stepped forward to greet the car when she saw the car, with a friendly and polite smile: "The maidservant is Madam Zheng who is next to the princess, and is ordered by the princess to welcome Mrs. Zhou and the young lady cousins. "

"Mummy is being polite." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Today, I came here presumptuously, because I was afraid of disturbing the princess."

"Ma'am, I'm worrying too much. The princess likes it very much. I'm waiting for you. Ma'am and Miss Biao please."

Madam Zheng recruited several green wall cars.

The three sisters got into one, and the three wives and their younger cousins ​​each took two, together with the maids who were waiting on them, and marched mightily along the straight road paved with bluestones.

The interior of this blue-walled car is decorated with low-hanging curtains embroidered with cloud-patterned ganoderma lucidum and immortals, and the windows are hung with soft and smoky screens of Baoxiang flowers. All are famous products.
