Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 731
Seeing the stalemate atmosphere, the old matriarch's smiling face gradually faded away at this time.

She first glanced lovingly at Gu Yanxi and Tang Xin who were beside her, then gently patted Gu Yanxi's hand, and still said lovingly: "Jiaojiao hasn't been to Jingyanghou's mansion for more than a year, Now that the weather is getting colder, the winter plums in the back garden of the Hou Mansion are about to bloom. Isn’t Jiaojiao the favorite of these flowers and plants? Take your little sister to have a look.”

Gu Yanxi immediately understood the meaning of the old lady's words. She didn't want these juniors to gather here to watch the four princes and concubines fight, so she wanted to dismiss them.

Gu Yanxi glanced at where his mother was, and seeing her nodding to him, he took Tang Xin's hand, greeted Lu Yingying who was following her mother, stood up and saluted the old lady, He said: "The winter plums in the Hou's mansion have always been a scene in the capital, and we naturally cannot miss it; old lady, that Jiaojiao will retreat first, if you have something to do, just call the maid who is waiting around you come to us."

"Okay! Let's go!"

Just like that, Gu Yanxi led Tang Xin and Lu Yingying back out of the middle hall quickly. When they walked out of the Shi'an Courtyard, they turned their heads to look at the courtyard that was newly decorated due to the happy event in the mansion, and there were rolling eyes various emotions.

Compared to Tang Xin's quiet and well-behaved, Lu Yingying patted her chest and let out a long breath the moment she stepped out of the Shi'an Courtyard. He lowered his voice and said to Gu Yanxi and Tang Xin: "I've heard before that the relationship between the princes and concubines in this capital is not very good. Although they are sisters-in-law, they are quite hostile in private. Rumors and rumors are nothing more than false rumors, but when I saw them today, those rumors are somewhat true. Aren’t you surprised that you two are so calm? Just now in the middle hall, I almost didn’t even catch my breath ;The war between women is indeed terrifying enough. There are all kinds of tricks hidden in a few words. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap of the other party. You don't even know when you offended anyone; these princes and concubines , all of them look dignified and dignified, beautiful as flowers, but their fighting power is astonishing, today I have seen with my own eyes what is meant by scheming and invisible killing."

Hearing Lu Yingying's emotion, Gu Yanxi signaled them to follow him and walk towards the back garden of the Hou Mansion, as if he didn't want to discuss this with them here.

"It's not that we are calm, it's that when we face this kind of thing, as long as we pretend we can't hear or see anything, then it has nothing to do with us." As he spoke, Gu Yanxi looked at Tang Xin beside him, thinking of the last time Tang Xin came When the mansion was visiting her, she was actually 'bullied' by her elder brother, so Gu Yanxi suppressed a smile and continued: "This kind of scrambling for favor and succession in the court is not something we girls from backyards can talk about and interrupt. It’s okay to meet, but if you do, don’t show any interest, or you will definitely bring yourself trouble.”

Speaking of the last sentence, Gu Yanxi glanced at Lu Yingying, just in time to meet the girl's eyes looking at her; Gu Yanxi looked at Lu Yingying's black and white eyes, and immediately muttered in her heart: This clever My girl, the reaction speed is still so amazing.

Lu Yingying understood the real meaning of Gu Yanxi's words, and said: "Jiaojiao, I understand what you mean, you are reminding me that this kind of thing is like a hot potato, people like us can't touch it Yes, it’s best not to even have the slightest interest in it. Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of young man who likes to jump up and down. Of course I know how serious this kind of thing is, so I won’t touch it recklessly. But, in front of you, I can still say a few words unscrupulously. The atmosphere just now really made people shudder. These princes and concubines looked like the fighting cocks when they met each other, wishing they could peck each other to death. This old matriarch's reputation in the capital is so high that even the emperor will come to celebrate his birthday this year. Under such circumstances, the princes and concubines still dare to play tricks in front of the old majesty without any scruple; as expected, when this woman becomes fierce, men will stand aside."

Gu Yanxi saw that Lu Yingying was very emotional about this matter, and also saw that they had completely left the Shian Yuan, and there were no other people around them except cronies, so he stopped keeping silent and said to Lu Yingying: "It's important. What a surprise, as the saying goes, all prosperity and all losses, these aristocratic ladies in Beijing, after they get married, their future life is closely linked with their husband's family, especially after becoming a member of the royal family, it is even more difficult You need to be careful step by step, because the closer you are to the center of power, the more dangerous and tempting it is. Perhaps these princes and concubines were once innocent, but the moment they became the emperor's daughter-in-law, the innocent will become a This kind of luxury, if it is still the same as before, sooner or later it will cost its life. Therefore, it is not so strange that they are intriguing and deceitful in public, because at this time their identities, their ambitions, and their positions are like a pair of hands Pushing them behind their backs, so that they can't dodge, can't be timid, and can only go forward and fight for it, because only in this way can they get what they want, and can keep their lives and their glory and wealth."

Lu Yingying thought about it, and said: "Listen to what you said, why did I suddenly start to sympathize with them? Although we have seen a lot of fights, but people like them are full of fighting spirit after all. They are still a minority. Although it is quite enviable to look at their lofty appearance, but as long as they think that they are worrying about their future in private, they feel that these people are quite pitiful."

Gu Yanxi curled her lips and sneered: "Yes! It's quite pitiful, but they are willing to take this road."

Tang Xin, who had been quietly following by the side, also spoke at this time, "I think maybe in their hearts, they don't feel that they are that poor person, maybe they still enjoy the fight like this."

Lu Yingying touched her neck in disbelief, as if she wanted to brush off the hairs on her body: "Xin'er, if you don't open your mouth, it's amazing. Is it true that in this world Is there any abused person who wants to let himself live in the midst of conspiracy?"

Gu Yanxi said: "In this world, there are despicable people who have ulterior motives and want to murder others again and again, so there will be such sinister people who like to intrigue; Yingying, you are a cheerful person, so naturally you don't understand those twisted and perverted people. people. Well, these matters have nothing to do with us, so we don’t need to say any more.”

Lu Yingying thought about it, and immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, what are we talking about here full of doubts, anyway, these things don't hinder us. If there is really someone who needs to worry about it at this time, then the person who should worry about it It is also the crown prince, not us."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yingying shrugged her shoulders, and the doubts on her face were immediately replaced by a smile. It seemed that she had already begun to look forward to what the winter plums in Jingyanghou Mansion would look like in full bloom.

Although Gu Yanxi also smiled in cooperation with Lu Yingying, she was not as relaxed as her face showed on her face. At this time, her whole heart was still in the middle hall of Shi'an Yuan.

Thinking of what he witnessed in Zhongtang earlier, Gu Yanxi only felt it was funny and absurd.

Emperor Wu of Liang snatched the throne from his elder brother, and sat on the throne with peace of mind for so many years, but he never thought that when he was getting old, his sons would fight each other under his nose; especially in the current situation It's just that the princes don't share the worries for their father, but they are still short-sighted and care about the gains and losses of seizing the heir. If Emperor Wu of Liang finds out about this matter, he will definitely vomit blood in anger. I wish I had never had such a thing Some unfilial sons.

For Gu Yanxi, she was extremely happy to see several princes and concubines fighting with their heads broken and bloody, because for her, the more unlucky the son of Emperor Wu of Liang, the more chaotic the current capital, the more distant he is in Jiuyang City Feng Yichen is in favor.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanxi suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the capital city tower.

When Feng Yichen left the capital, she left quietly in order not to attract the attention of others. At that time, she told herself silently in her heart that when he returned one day in the future, she would definitely stand on the tower and greet him. When he comes back, he will never feel alone again. Let him know that from now on, there will be someone looking forward to his safety and waiting for him to go home.

Lu Yingying took two steps, saw Gu Yanxi stop, and shouted: "Jiaojiao, why don't you leave? Why are you in a daze?"

Hearing Lu Yingying's words, Gu Yanxi pulled Tang Xin by her side and smiled, and said, "I'm not dazed, I'm just looking at the weather, thinking that it won't be long before the capital is about to see heavy snow."

Lu Yingying let out two breaths into the air, and said: "Isn't it, the weather is getting colder every day, and today is a good day to see the sun, but this kind of good weather won't last for a few more days. "

Tang Xin turned her head to look at Gu Yanxi, and asked, "Why is Jiaojiao suddenly concerned about the weather? But she's worried that she won't be able to come out and walk freely after it's cold? My mother said that there will be some chaos in the capital in the near future, and even the mansion The servants are strictly controlled and are not allowed to walk around casually. It is best for you and me to stay in the mansion, and it is better to reduce going out."
