Chapter 66 Madam Ning began to doubt life

I don't know what she did wrong, or the method was wrong, she failed to raise the two of them well, there is no similarity with herself, it's just that they can't calm down, they don't listen to persuasion, they always remind They don't want to argue with Gao Changle, but they don't listen, and they even had an argument with Gao Changle a few days ago...

If it wasn't for her own birth in October, Ning Wanqiu might really have the idea of ​​beating the two severely.

Ning Wanqiu was somewhat skeptical about life, why the two princesses she gave birth to were so incompetent, even if the daughters were mostly like their fathers, they should be as wise and courageous as Emperor Jiayuan, neither she nor Emperor Jiayuan had the same Like this.

"Tenth prince, don't let the concubine mother down in the future."

"Mother and concubine's hopes are all on you."

However, Ning Wanqiu can't figure out why, that's all. There are two princesses on the left and right, so they won't be able to make much of a fortune. In the future, they will find a good marriage, marry and have children. Not much loss.

As long as the Tenth Prince can accomplish things, everything will be accomplished.

When a prince is born, most of the time he will be officially named by the emperor during the full moon banquet, unless it is someone who is extremely favored, the name will be drawn up while the concubine is pregnant.

"Madam, you should go to bed early, and the slaves will leave first."

Seeing that Ning Wanqiu's attention was all on the infant Tenth Prince, Magpie could not help but secretly shook his head, and quietly backed away.

Madam put all her hopes on the Tenth Prince, and she didn't know whether it was good or not.

Midsummer is hot, it comes suddenly, and it goes quickly.

It seems that a few days ago, people felt that there were waves of heat waves, and people who were hot could not sit still, and they didn't know how to eat, but when they got up this morning and went out, they felt the breeze in the air with a touch of coolness, lightly blowing Through the summer heat.

Red decays and green diminishes, it is finally early autumn.

"Princess, Cao Zhaohua committed suicide at night." Zhu Xi bowed and went forward to report to Gao Changle. She also couldn't figure out whether the princess loved or hated Cao Zhaohua and the fifth princess, so she didn't bring any other emotions. Tell the truth.

Mentioning Cao Shuying is really something that the palace has been lamenting in recent days.

It wasn't long before she was promoted to Zhaohua, and there were rumors in the palace that she was about to become a nobleman, and once she became the highest-ranking concubine in the palace besides Ning Wanqiu, she thought about her humble background, It is really not easy to get to this level today, and I am afraid that it is not difficult to be included in the annals of history. I don't think it turned out to be such a dirty method, treachery, framed the queen who supported her with one hand, and used the young elder brother The princess, in the end, only ended up committing suicide.

He didn't even have a decent funeral, so he could only be sent out of the palace hastily rolled up in straw mats, and disposed of in some wilderness.

Gao Changle nodded calmly, as if he had known about Cao Shuying's fate beforehand and was not surprised.

On the contrary, they pay more attention to Gao Changxue.

"What about Changxue?"

Gao Changle's hand holding the scissors paused slightly, and frowned as he looked at the purple-red hibiscus flower in the plum vase with black ground and white flowers.

"Because Cao Zhaohua is afraid of sin, the emperor issued an imperial decree to keep the funeral secret, but ordered people to wrap the body in a straw mat and transport it out of the palace. I don't know where it will go." Zhu Xi looked at Gao Changle's face, "As for the five Princess...Although the emperor did not say that the fifth princess should move out of the Chaoyun Palace, he did remove many of the palace people around the fifth princess, and only left her with two immature little maids, saying that it was..."

Gao Changle raised his eyelids slightly.

Zhu Xi hesitated and said, "It is said that the courtiers around Cao Zhaohua have ulterior motives and no good intentions. Even if they keep them, they will only mislead the princess, and change two innocent people, so that the princess can get rid of the relationship. , and let the princess not go out during this period of time, and stay in the bedroom to meditate on her past."

"Ah."

Gao Changle lowered his eyes, not surprised.

I always have to put on a show for others to see, otherwise... Otherwise, after Cao Zhaohua killed her mother, if her daughter can still be as precious as before, I'm afraid she won't be able to stop her grandfather Xie's family.

"It's not suitable for her to appear around this time."

At this time, Gao Changxue was walking around in the palace, and he was afraid that he would be stared at and ridiculed. After all, Emperor Jiayuan still cared about the relationship between father and daughter.

"Let Master Qin go and see her in his spare time."

Gao Changle started to examine the flower branches in the plum vase again. It seemed that he said it inadvertently. He didn't intend to solve Gao Changxue's predicament, but he said that he wanted Master Qin to visit...or to teach?

Gao Changxue has an arrogant personality, and because of the subtle influence of the Cao family, she is very concerned about her family background, but Gao Changxue is better than Cao Shuying by tens of thousands of times, even if Gao Changxue wants to climb up, she will absolutely disdain Doing things that take advantage of others is completely different from Cao Shuying.

Zhu Xi tried hard to see the abnormality on Gao Changle's face, but Gao Changle's eyes were calm without any waves.

"Yes, the servant understands."

"And Eldest Princess, today is the tenth prince's full moon banquet. Mrs. Ning organized a grand banquet in the palace. I heard that many official wives were invited to the banquet. Would you like to attend?"

Zhu Xi added, "You should have gone."

"Madam Ning has a close relationship with the empress, and she is your aunt."

The Ning family and the Xie family are related by marriage, and they can be regarded as cousins. Ning Wanqiu and Xie Xianyin were best friends when they were not out of the court, and they entered the palace together as a queen and a concubine , was once passed down as a good story by the people in Shengjing. In the early years when the empress was alive, she always had frequent contacts with Ning Wanqiu, and then Cao Zhaohua also had no shortage of etiquette for Gao Changle.

Now both of them are gone, only Gao Changle is left, if Gao Changle doesn't go, it will inevitably lose face.

"Don't go."

"Tell me I'm not feeling well."

Gao Changle didn't even think about it, she was too lazy to give Ning Wanqiu

Cao Shuying committed suicide, Jiang Caiwei was pregnant, and the high-ranking and favored concubine in the palace, Ning Wanqiu was the only one left in an instant. Madam Ning was not the one to be proud, besides, she had caught up with Cao Shuying again. When it happened, Ning Wanqiu used the excuse to be happy, so as not to embarrass the palace.

But Ning Wanqiu wants to have fun, so let her do it by herself, Gao Changle doesn't need to show her face, besides... besides, the group of official wives and daughters... are also used to worshiping the high and trampling the low Yes, Gao Changle is not too lazy to deal with it.

"Okay, then the servant girl went back to Miss Magpie."

Zhu Xi bowed his head and left, and Li Shao's figure just appeared in front of Gao Changle.

"Buried?"

Gao Changle put down the scissors, and stared at himself to admire the flower branches in the plum vase that he had just pruned. He was very satisfied. Although Cao Shuying deserved to die, she had a good daughter. If you pay the price for your mistakes, then there is no reason to be harsh after death.

It is for Gao Changxue to give her a safe place to live, so that Gao Changxue can think about it in the future.

Li Shao cupped his hands, "It has been done according to the princess's order.

"Then take another trip to Chaoyang Palace for me."

"Send that memorial tablet together with the things that Cao Shuying cared about the most during her lifetime, leave her a thought, and tell her, if you want to hate me, then hate me, don't hold it in your heart alone, life will go on, but if If you really think about hating me, that is to make the enemies behind you happy."

Li Shao frowned and looked at Gao Changle.

Gao Changle didn't seem to care about it, as soon as he spoke, he held the pruned plum vase in front of Li Shao, "See if my craftsmanship is good, and if the pruning looks good?"

Li Shao nodded, "It's pretty."

"Send it to you."

Li Shao, "..."

"Thank you princess."

-

Chaoyang Hall.

The desolation of early autumn seems to be perfectly interpreted here.

There were withered and yellow fallen leaves faintly in the yard, and there was not a single person around the bedroom, which was extremely desolate.

When Li Shao found Gao Changxue, he found that Gao Changxue was curled up and hugging his knees outside the door of the bedroom where Cao Shuying committed suicide. He buried his head very low. When he approached, he could hear a low voice clearly. sobbing sound.

Xu Shi also heard footsteps, Gao Changxue raised his head, and looked at Li Shao with tears in his eyes.

"Director Li?"

The corners of Li Shao's slashed lips were slightly pursed, and he brought the things Gao Changle ordered him to bring back to Gao Changxue, "Our princess said that everyone is gone, and I always want to leave you a thought." .”

"Life will go on. If you want to hate her, you can hate her. But if you really want to hate her, isn't it just what the enemy behind you wants?"

Gao Changxue listened to Li Shao's words in a daze, but didn't respond, and Li Shao didn't say much, just put the things Gao Changle sent to Gao Changxue's side gently and left.

After Li Shao left, Gao Changxue bewilderedly looked at the bag Li Shao handed over, and opened it blankly, but the tears in his eyes couldn't stop gushing out when he saw the things inside. Tears fell on the memorial tablet in big drops like beads with a broken thread.

"Mother concubine...Mother concubine..."

Gao Changxue hugged the tablet tightly in his arms.

-

Yuanfu Palace was extremely lively.

Not to mention that there is no empress in the harem now, even the third wife is Ning Wanqiu alone, it can be said that she is thriving and undefeated.

Now because of Cao Shuying's suicide, it seems that Ning Wanqiu has a high status in the harem, and those new concubines who have just entered the palace are busy currying favors.

After the banquet, Ning Wanqiu wanted to keep a smile on his face even if he didn't want to. He really felt a little sour at the corners of his mouth. After taking the opportunity to find a way, he leaned over and whispered to the magpie beside him, "The eldest princess and Jiang Xiuyi said You are so unfit, that even Qi Zhaoyi didn't come?"

This is a rare thing.

Qi Zhaoyi has a straightforward and rude personality, and she also likes to join in the fun. No matter whether she is in a good relationship or not, she will never miss such a lively occasion. It is also for the convenience of showing her superiority, but now... she didn't come.

Magpie nodded honestly, "Yes."

"Mu Bo from Qi Zhaoyi's side said that their master's body is unwell, maybe the weather suddenly changed, and he caught a cold at night, and now he is fidgeting in the bedroom!"

The four words of fidgeting are extremely important.

Ning Wanqiu loosened her frown, her eyes filled with a mocking smile, "Since you are restless, you should tell Mubo to take good care of their master."

"Naturally." Magpie nodded, "Mubo was beaten by Qi Zhaoyi, so how dare Qi Zhaoyi not worry about it now."

The corners of Ning Wanqiu's lips curled up into an inexplicable smile, but his eyes fell on the sullen and unhappy Liang Xiurong through the crowd.

perhaps……

-

Yingchun Hall.

Qi Zhengxi's face turned pale.

At night, it seems that some figures can always be seen turning around me, and they keep calling my name.

One ghost is Xie Xianyin, and the other is Cao Shuying.

"No... not me."

"It has nothing to do with me."

"I did not do anything."

"Don't come to me, don't come!"

Qi Zhengxi's clothes were disheveled and his hair was in a mess. He hid on the carved arhat bed and watched vigilantly at the phantom on the wall caused by the breeze blowing the trunks and leaves outside the window. His body trembled even more uncontrollably when he was speaking.

Mubo hurriedly knocked on the door, and a concerned voice sounded from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... What's wrong with you?"

"Today is the tenth prince's full moon banquet. Don't you want to attend? I heard that Mrs. Tingwei is also here."

In the past, Qi Zhaoyi's favorite thing was to be compared with Ting Wei's wife, Mrs. Chen.

When the two were in the boudoir before, they liked to be angry, but after they got married, this comparison still hasn't changed. Every time they attend palace banquets, they always have to compare most of their clothes. Mubo specifically said that Chen's Here, I just hoped that Qi Zhaoyi could go out, but I didn't expect that there was no movement inside at first, and then there was a crackling sound after a while.

"So what if it comes!"

"Mubo, do you want to die?"

"I have said that I am not in good health so I don't want to go out, but you are still nagging me in my ears. Do you not want to make Bengong's condition better?! Deliberately disturbing Bengong's life?"

The gnashing of teeth in the dormitory made Mubo's face darken, how could such an angry appearance seem to be in a bad mood?

However, what Qi Zhengxi said was what he said, no one else could control him, Mubo was just a court lady, she could do nothing but obey.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, it's my servant's fault, I didn't think carefully, and my servant knows my mistake."

Mubo didn't give up, and continued to ask Qi Zhengxi who was inside the door, as if he was really against Qi Zhengxi, "If the empress feels unwell, should I send someone to invite an imperial doctor to come back to help me?" Do you see?"

"roll!!"

Qi Zhengxi's angry voice came again from inside the sleeping hall, but Mubo outside the door showed no respect at all, his voice sounded very pleasing to the eye, "Yes, empress, don't get angry, this servant will leave now. "
