First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 7

Slightly calming down the crowd, Zeng Rou looked at the actual controllers of Prince Zhao's mansion, Princess Zhao's concubine Hua and Zhao Wang's birth mother, wife Tuoba.

The Gu family has accepted the marriage bestowed by the Great Xia Emperor for generations, and the first wives of the Gu family's successor men are all noble daughters of the Great Xia family who married from far away.

Concubine Hua was also born in Daxia, and lived in Zhao for forty years. Concubine Hua experienced miscarriage, death of son, miscarriage, and grandson. It can be seen that she was once a delicate beauty.

Concubine Hua's clothes are low-key and luxurious, and are closer to the dressing customs of Da Xia's wife.

On the contrary, Mrs. Tuoba, Mrs. Zhao Wang's birth mother, sitting next to the concubine Huashi, was wearing dark red make-up. Danfeng's eyes were piercing, and her slanted eyebrows slanted into her temples, showing that she was very heroic. Her majestic eyebrows and eyes proved that she was young She is a dashing and heroic beauty.

The concubine Hua is dignified, with the delicacy and beauty of a noble lady from Da Xia, and the wife Tuoba is sassy, ​​with the arrogance of a noble daughter from Zhaodi.

Zeng Rou deeply felt that Zhao Wang's father was very lucky, but between these two women who had been fighting for a lifetime, his life might not be easy.

Tai Furen Tuoba had five sons, only Zhao Wang Gu Yancheng survived.

From the experience of the two, we can see how fierce the inner house struggle was.

Under the two of them, sat several other women who were not young.

Zeng Rou glanced over, and there were two other concubines of Zhao Wang's father, and the rest were the wives of the heads of each house of Zhao Wang's Gu family, most of whom were Zhao Wang's aunts.

The tradition of succession in Daxia is that the son succeeds to the throne, and there is no eldest son.

Therefore, in the lineage of King Zhao, every generation of legitimate sons died, and the eldest son of the concubine succeeded to the throne.

There were 12 brothers in the genealogy of King Zhao. When King Zhao succeeded to the throne, he had only one half brother left.The causes of death of the rest of the brothers were all kinds of strange, and there were even more who were not born.

They are all losers, losers of house fighting.

Concubine Hua said with a smile on her face: "You are finally back, and you are not allowed to play petty sex with the prince in the future. How can a noble girl from a famous family in Daxia learn from foolish women in the mountains and countryside to disregard the importance? Your Majesty I gave you the marriage to the prince in the hope that you would root the Great Xia's ethics in the Prince Zhao's residence, if you don't respect the rules first, how can you restrain the people in the Prince Zhao's residence?"

"Daughter-in-law."

The concubine's smile became more and more kind, "You bear the high hopes of His Majesty, and you must not lose your natal family's name."

On the left is responsibility, and on the right is the emperor's high hopes. Is the concubine Huashi afraid that the Gu family will not be hostile to Zeng Rou?

There was a touch of sarcasm on Zeng Rou's lips, "My daughter-in-law has Her Majesty the Concubine, it's not my daughter-in-law's turn to set the rules in Prince Zhao's mansion. Your natal family is much higher than your daughter-in-law's. The Hua family is still the most prosperous family in Da Xia. My daughter-in-law should listen Given your virtuous reputation when you were young, my daughter-in-law would not dare to act presumptuously in front of you."

Concubine Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, she was quite surprised by Zeng Rou's performance, she was still the Princess Zhao who only knew to answer yes?

Mrs. Tai Fu Tuoba smiled, raised her arm and lightly patted the rosewood table beside her. With a bang, the solid rosewood table fell apart, and a three-inch-deep line was printed on the tabletop that fell to the ground. palm prints,
"If you have any doubts about how I deal with the shameless slut, just say so, so that my infatuated son won't be troubled by the mother who gave birth to him with you!"

Stirring up the sleeves embroidered with dark red peony flowers, Mrs. Tuoba looked Zeng Rou up and down without any scruples, "I didn't see it, but you are quite talented."

Zeng Rou looked away from the palm prints on the rosewood table, Emma, ​​there are skills in this world!
Obviously Mrs. Tuoba is a kung fu master.

Zeng Rou was not surprised, but the powerful kung fu expert Mrs. Tuoba aroused Zeng Rou's interest in fighting. If it was an ordinary house fight, it would be boring to play.

"You are really amazing." Zeng Rou raised her eyes, and faced Mrs. Tuoba without flinching, "It's a pity that you are very skilled but you can understand the prince. To be honest with you, you don't have to think that the prince has deep affection for me , The biggest gain of this trip is that the prince found his beloved woman."

Everyone couldn't help but focus on Zeng Rou. They were surprised that Zhao Wang, who was said to be a love seed, would empathize with others, and they were even more surprised by the smile on Zeng Rou's lips. Isn't she jealous, isn't she jealous?
Zeng Rou caressed the two elder mothers-in-law, "The woman who moved the prince's heart is also a Daxia woman. Although her natal family is not a famous family, her father is a sixth-rank censor, and she was born in a noble family. The prince treats her very well. I feel sorry for her so much, and send me back to the palace. The prince will accompany her around. No matter what, the prince will never wrong her. She has a chaste personality. Madam Tai, when you see her, you will also like her."

At this point, Zeng Rou's words were filled with jealousy and disappointment.

Concubine Hua's hand is holding on to the handrail. If the sixth-rank censor, her home should be in the capital!King Zhao went to Beijing privately?Just won Hedong County, did Zhao Wang go to Beijing to seek death?
Suspicious eyes glanced at Zeng Rou, did she disclose this news on purpose?Or just plain jealous?
No matter what the reason is, Zeng Rou has helped the concubine Fahrenheit. He has been "used" by King Zhao for so many years. The concubine Fahrenheit hates him very much. Only after her death can her little grandson inherit the title of King Zhao.

In Fahrenheit's eyes, Zeng Rou's sick child is almost like a dead person.

"Big Xia's woman again?" Tai Furen Tuoba said angrily, "Big Xia's again?"

Zeng Rou lowered her eyelids and said softly, "Yes."

Mrs. Tai Fu Tuoba's face was a bit uneasy, his biological son finally shifted his target from the useless Zeng Rou, but chose a woman from Daxia, why couldn't the noble daughter of Zhao Di fall into his eyes?

What's so good about Daxia who has a feud with Zhaodi and forces the people of Zhaodi to surrender?

Gu Yancheng completely forgot the Gu family's deep blood feud, forgot the hatred she forged with the concubine Huashi, and forgot that his brother was killed by a bitch in Daxia.

Mrs. Tuoba stood up, cast a cold glance at Zeng Rou, and walked away.

She has no awareness of being a concubine, and directly abandons the concubine Huashi and everyone. Of course, there is nothing more important in her heart than her son, King Zhao, Mrs. Liu knows!Rape' thing she dropped too.

After getting rid of the most difficult one, Zeng Rou shook her fist once for her performance.

Zeng Rou hurriedly explained to Concubine Hua after the figure of Madam Tuoba disappeared, "Madam Tai did not intentionally disobey the way of being a concubine, she was too worried about the prince, how can there be a mother in this world who does not love her own son. "

Zeng Rou knelt down with tears in her eyes, "Thousands of mistakes are all the daughter-in-law's fault. I beg Your Royal Highness to understand the mother-in-law's kindness. The daughter-in-law should not talk about the prince. The prince once... once said that I am not worthy of mentioning Li Yuxin."

The wives of the heads of the Gu family are all there. The news that Zhao Wang loves Li Yuxin will spread all over Zhaodi in no time. .

Since Li Yuxin wanted to stay with King Zhao and be a pair of mandarin ducks envied by the world, she naturally had to bear the pressure of Zhao's nobles.

If Zeng Rou guessed correctly, King Zhao would give Li Yuxin a false identity as a daughter of Zhao Digui.

How could the king of Zhao be willing to let the sharp-hearted Li Yuxin fall into the feud between Zhao Di and Da Xia?

It's not that King Zhao didn't know Zeng Rou's pain, he just didn't love Zeng Rou and didn't bother to care about it.

If it were Li Yuxin, King Zhao would make good arrangements for her, and would not let Zhao Digui's daughter hate her, and would not let her feud affect her.

It's a pity... Zeng Rou bowed her head in disappointment, tears fell drop by drop on the green bricks on the ground, the green bricks were wet, it's a pity, my lord, I'll make the move first!
Zeng Rou was sobbing that she could hardly speak, she was out of breath, her eyes of despair showed a hint of longing:

"The lord left his daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law has done too many mistakes before, so she dare not force the lord to love her. The lord and his beloved Miss Li Yuxin will have a beautiful son. Brother Rui is weak. I don't know if I can last until next year. Thinking of Ruige'er makes my heart ache, and right now I have nothing to look forward to. I just want to accompany Ruige'er for the last few days and step into the responsibility of being a mother a little bit. If Ruige'er refuses to recognize me... I will also Not alive."

"Stop, stop."

Toffee Fahrenheit had someone hug Zeng Rou who was rushing towards the pillar, "What are you talking about? How could Brother Rui deny you?"

Zeng Rou struggled and cried, "If I don't see Brother Rui, I'd rather die than live."

Nanny Yu who was beside the concubine Hua lowered her voice and said: "Master, the princess cannot die at this time. She is standing in the position of the princess, and the prince's heart can only be a concubine. This is of great benefit to the master. She may be a concubine." Tougher than the princess."

"Come on, bring Brother Rui over here."

Concubine Fahrenheit made a decision in an instant, comforted Zeng Rou herself, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "You silly child, I'm helping you take care of Rui Ge'er for the sake of your frailty, who gave birth to your son? Can you still grab it?"

Zeng Rou threw herself into Toffee Fahrenheit's arms, weeping loudly, tears and snot were all on Toffee Fahrenheit's clothes, "I know my mother loves me, you do, right?"

Concubine Fahrenheit was disgusted by the booty on her chest, but she couldn't push Zeng Rou away, so she nodded with a smile, "If it doesn't hurt, who do you hurt?"

"I beg my mother to show mercy and spare Lady Liu."

Zeng Rou turned back to the original goal, crying:
"She is the only dowry left by my side. It is said that catching thieves and filth, catching rape and catching both, can't just kill her indiscriminately! The criminal law in Daxia is strict, unlike the private court set up by the royal family. Didn't my mother say that Zhao Is it the rules that most need to be erected in the land? Mistakes must be punished, but there is not enough evidence to beat them into tricks and use criminal laws indiscriminately. Reasonable evidence is the way of the rule of law."

Concubine Hua said: "I'll save face for you today, but Miss Liu, you have to watch carefully. If you let me know that she is sneaking up on men again, I can't spare her, and I can't spare you either!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Concubine."
