National Beauty

"No."

On the spacious canopy bed, Zhao Zhao put his hands on the back and leaned against the corner of the bed, shaking his head to reject the little red shirt in his mother's hands.

Song Jianing put down his clothes and said helplessly: "Then which one do you want to wear?"

Zhao Zhao looked at her wardrobe with wide eyes.

Song Jianing took her daughter to pick out clothes. Today, Sister Yu, the second girl from the Royal Palace of Rui, has lived for a hundred days. Because there is no personal relationship with Princess Rui, Song Jianing just wants to sit by herself and come back after the banquet. But the daughter heard her talking with the prince, and she was looking forward to going out long ago. , You have to wear her favorite clothes of the day.

After a while, Zhaozhao put on a goose-yellow little tuck, with a beautiful ribbon tied around his waist, and picked it himself...

"It's so stinky." Song Jianing smiled at her daughter's soaring cry, knowing that she was so stinky at a young age.

Zhao Zhao smiled happily.

Song Jianing took his daughter out of the house.

For the second time, the Royal Palace of Rui was a small princess, and the princes should do errands. Princess Rui only invited the concubines to come. Zhang's concubine was just a concubine and was not qualified to meet guests. Chen Xiu was the side concubine of the Emperor Rui Wang who was given the marriage by the emperor. Therefore, Princess Rui also called Chen Xiu over on such a happy day.

Zhaozhao took his mother's hand and looked at these relatively unpretentious elders curiously.

"The longer Zhaozhao is, the better it looks." Chen Xiu exclaimed with a friendly smile.

Zhaozhao liked others to praise her, so he smiled at them.

Concubine Rui's eldest daughter Kang Jie'er is only a few months older than Zhao Zhao'er. Although she is also young, the side concubine praises her sister but does not praise her. Sister Kang can't help looking aggrievedly at her mother. Princess Rui now hates Chen Xiu more than Zhang Clan. Zhang Clan is just a court lady, but behind Chen Xiu there is Zhao Pu, a veteran of the two dynasties. Zhao Pu is not the prime minister, and his prestige is still there. In addition, Chenxiu's beauty will attract people. , Is now the most favored woman in the palace. Not happy in my heart, I naturally felt that Zhang's words and deeds were all wrong.

But the prince was resting in her room last night, remembering the situation in which the prince whispered to her for important matters, that was the only decent she was a princess, and the princess Rui's chest was not so clogged. She is the princess, she must look farther, the future of the prince is the most important, when the prince sits in that seat, she will be the first person in the harem, no matter how much love the concubines have, she can't go beyond her. The top priority is that she must do a good job for the prince, and then use this to get more love, and then conceive a child.

"Come here, Zhaozhao, play with Sister Kang." Princess Rui called lovingly.

Zhao Zhao looked at Sister Kang.

Sister Kang glanced at her, then suddenly turned her head, ignoring her appearance.

Zhao Zhao blinked, and suddenly heard the maid telling that Princess Gong was here, Zhao Zhao liked the fourth aunt, and suddenly forgot the cousin, Song Niang personally ran back, and was soon picked up by Li Mulan and giggled happily. The little princess of Shouwang's Mansion has never been short of people's likes.

Li Mulan was so active that she couldn't meddle with the women like Song Jianing. After sitting for a while, she hugged Zhaozhao and went to play in the garden. Song Jianing also didn't like to be with Princess Rui, but today Princess Rui had a treat. It was too ugly for her and Li Mulan to go to the garden, so she had to send the nurse and Liu Xi to take care of her daughter. Only the two children were left beside her.

"My younger sister leads Sister Kang to find Zhao Zhao. Sister Kang admits her birth. You will get acquainted with Zhao Zhao later." Princess Rui smiled and said to Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiu looked at Song Jianing and guessed that Princess Rui had something to say, so he agreed, and led Sister Kang to the garden.

Princess Rui invited Song Jianing into the room to see Sister Yu, who was just a hundred days old. The little girl looked like Sister Kang when she was a child, but she was much fatter. She lay there with her eyes open, her eyes squirming. Princess Rui picked up her daughter, patted it lightly, suddenly sighed, raised her head and said to Song Jianing: "There are some things, I can only tell you."

The tone of a good sister who wants to talk.

Song Jianing secretly found out, when did she and Princess Rui get so close?

"Second sister-in-law has something on my mind?" Although puzzled, Song Jianing asked in a puzzled manner, showing a moderate amount of concern.

Princess Rui held her daughter's small hand and smiled bitterly: "It's not for her yet. After ten months of hope, I got another daughter. You don't know how those two laughed at me secretly."

Song Jianing was stunned, and his eyes fell on Sister Yu. Song Jianing, who also hoped to give birth to a son soon, could understand the feelings of Princess Rui. She now has only one daughter. Fortunately, the prince did not mean to dislike her, and the palace had no concubine. Princess Rui gave birth to two daughters in a row, and the backyard was not peaceful. The pressure can be imagined.

"Flower first, then bear fruit, second sister-in-law, don't worry, it will definitely be the next one." Song Jianing could only persuade that.

Princess Rui laughed ridiculously, suddenly thinking of something, raised her chin at Song Jianing's belly, and said in doubt: "I have somebody on my side, why haven't you moved for so long?"

Song Jianing's eyes dimmed. Since everyone is pitying each other, she has nothing to hide, and whispered: "Fate hasn't arrived yet." Last month's heat was unbearable, and she was a little uncomfortable. The prince asked the doctor in the mansion to check her pulse. Song Jianing took the opportunity. After asking a little bit, the doctor said that she was recovering well and there was no problem, so it could only be attributed to fate.

Song Jianing told her mother what was going on, and her mother comforted her with the fruit trees in Baiguoyuan, saying that the fruit trees produced more fruit in one year, and the fruit in the next year. She was probably young when she was born, and her body seemed to have a big fruit. Fruit trees, you have to rest enough to bear fruit again. Song Jianing thinks it makes sense.

She was depressed, but Princess Rui was gloating over misfortunes. The prince loved Zhang's family. She could only be favored three or four times a month, so she was pregnant. Song Jianing, who was a pet by herself, was not pregnant for a long time. Maybe it was a clear loss. If you lose your body, you can't get pregnant anymore, so a princess who can't give birth to a child will be disgusted by men sooner or later.

After all, how can a man be nasty? Song Jianing is beautiful, and Wang Shou now spoils her. When he gets tired of the pet, he is anxious to give birth to a son. The day of adding people to the backyard of Wang Shou is not far away.

But Princess Rui’s purpose of revealing her scars was not here. Her face was full of sorrow, and she sighed in a low voice: "It’s better for my sister-in-law. You have two sons in a row, you don’t know. Son, I can’t wait to grab one to be my son."

Think of the horrible nephews, Song Jianing laughed, she also likes the little brothers.

Now that the topic naturally turned to the Chu Palace, Princess Rui asked one more sentence: "Father, let His Royal Highness recover from the illness, and we dare not bother. How has the Highness recovered? After having been sick for so long, my sister-in-law still has to take care of him. My child, it's really worrying."

When she was speaking, Princess Rui was full of concern, but she quietly squeezed a sweat in her heart, wondering if she could tell Song Jianing. The king of Chu went mad, and his prince became the first of the princes. The prince’s footsteps were windy, and the concubine Rui was refreshed. Unexpectedly a few days ago, the emperor announced that the king of Chu would be healed from his serious illness and amnesty for it. The world. Suddenly, she and the prince were upset and wanted to visit. The Prince of Chu continued to thank the guests behind closed doors. The prince tried to inquire. As a result, from the servants of the Prince of Chu to the doctors who were treating and treating, they never mentioned it. suspect.

After Princess Rui made such a big bend, Song Jianing didn't immediately realize that Princess Rui was talking, but the prince also reminded her that she must not mention the true condition of King Chu when she got here. So when Princess Rui asked about this, Song Jianing The little bell in my heart rang, and he smiled and said: "Last time we visited, Your Highness has been able to help my sister-in-law to promote my brother. If you are talking and laughing, it may be fine in a while."

Perfuse the past without leaking.

Princess Rui wanted to follow the vines, her mouth opened, thinking about Song Jianing's words, she couldn't find any vines to grasp. Forcibly spying would easily cause Song Jianing's suspicion, so she stopped here, and then only talked about the trivial matters of raising children.

In the evening Zhao Heng returned to the mansion. A family of three sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness. Zhao Zhao led the maids and eunuchs around, and Zhao Heng asked his wife about what he saw in the Royal Palace. Song Jianing confessed in a one-to-one manner, mentioning her personal remarks with Princess Rui, she looked at him with misty apricot eyes, a little bit pitiful, like Zhao Zhao who couldn't wear her favorite clothes in the morning.

Zhao Heng is not in a hurry for his son. In his eyes, the princess was still young, and a daughter was enough for her to bother, and she had a dangerous and difficult birth when she gave birth to a daughter. Zhao Heng really didn't want to come again after a day of suffering.

"An An, don't worry, I'm over two years old." Holding her soft little hand, Zhao Heng looked at her eyes and said softly like coaxing his daughter. Song Jianing was mainly afraid of him being anxious. Since he said so, Song Jianing glanced at his daughter in the distance, and whispered: "The prince is not in a hurry. Don't blame me when the time comes..."

She was getting more and more daring to act like a baby, Zhao Heng smiled and pinched her nose, Song Jianing blushed, afraid of being seen by the maids. The couple were tired and crooked for a moment, Zhao Heng motioned her to continue. After Song Jianing mentioned Princess Rui to inquire about the condition of King Chu, Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled deeply, "It means a drunkard."

Song Jianing was surprised to forget to eat the grapes he had just pinched, and under the reminder of the prince, he later realized the calculations of Princess Rui.

"Did you say?" Zhao Heng's expression sank when she saw that she realized it at this time.

Song Jianing hurriedly put down the grapes and rushed to deny: "No, the prince had asked me a long time ago. I didn't even talk to my mother. How could I tell her? That is, I didn't expect her to hide so much thoughts."

Zhao Heng's expression was a little slow, but he still warned: "People's hearts are unpredictable, you need to think twice about everything."

His princess is not stupid, but too innocent, getting along with others, will not think about the other side first, so naturally he is not wary of it. Fortunately, she is cautious by nature, her words and deeds have never let anyone take advantage of the loopholes. This is also where Zhao Heng is most assured of her, although sometimes she cautiously asks him to pity.

"Open your mouth." Zhao Heng whispered while pinching a purple grape, his eyes happy.

He personally fed her, Song Jianing hadn't eaten yet, so she felt sweet in her heart.

Rui Wang Mansion.

When Rui Wang came back, he went directly to the princess's main courtyard. Of course, Princess Rui didn’t dare to say that she didn’t inquire about anything. In order to prove that she was useful, Princess Rui deliberately made up some words. For example, King Chu was unconscious before and knew no one. Now she recognizes the people close to him. Can also help take care of two sons.

These wise kings all know, frowning, holding a tea bowl and asking her: "Do you know why the Chu Palace is still closed to thank guests?" It stands to reason that since the eldest brother recognizes people, the father should allow them to visit for a while, behind closed doors. There must be other hidden reasons for refusal.

This princess Rui couldn’t make it up, but she had thought of an excuse a long time ago, and while helping her husband squeeze her shoulders, she said, “I’m only getting closer to her today, so I don’t want to ask too much at once. Come over and sit down."

Rui Wang nodded, patted her hand and said, "That's it, don't let her notice."

That night, Rui Wang naturally rested on his wife's side.

Princess Rui gradually became favored, and Chen Xiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. That evening, she was sitting in front of the dressing table and grooming carefully, thinking for a while while the prince came back, she would go to the main courtyard to see the little princess, and perhaps show her face in front of the prince. Just thinking about it, the maid who had returned home to visit her sick mother came back, and took out a letter to her with a pale face.

Chen Xiu was shocked.

The maid said: "I came back in a mule car. Someone got in the car and sat next to me halfway. They stuffed this letter to me and let me pass it on to you."

Who is so sneaky?

Chen Xiu was full of doubts, first opened the letter, and when she saw what it said, she was shocked. She didn't recognize the handwriting, but there was a small black snake on the sign. Chen Xiu immediately remembered the danger she had experienced in the Beiyuan paddock that day, and a tall figure and a cold face quickly appeared in his mind.

After reading the letter again, Chen Xiu frowned.

Guo Xiao told her what the prince asked for, was he to help her please the prince? What good will it do for him?

Slowly folding the letter paper, Chen Xiu couldn't help thinking about the important affairs of the court. Guo Xiao and Song Jianing’s mother and daughter are at odds. If the Chu King gains power, Song Jianing will follow the Shou King, and Guo Xiao must not want to see it. Change to Rui Wang Chengshi, then Guo Xiao helped her. In the future, she will blow the pillow wind in the ears of the prince...

Chen Xiu smiled. For the first time, she realized that she was not alone with Princess Rui.

Secretly told the maidservant, Chen Xiu continued to dress up the mirror, but she didn't plan to go to the main courtyard to **** someone. The steward didn't want to fight favor with the backyard, but he didn't dare to hide it. As soon as the king of Rui came back, he said: "Master, the side concubine said that she has something to report to you."

After hearing this, Rui Wang went straight to Chen Xiu's yard.

The news soon reached the ears of Princess Rui.

Princess Rui understands that most of the prince will stay with Chen Xiu tonight. She feels a little bit sour, but thinking about the prince still relying on her to inquire about the news of the Chu Palace through Song Jianing, Princess Rui slept well this night. But she didn't expect that King Rui came over the next day and told her not to invite Princess Shou to the mansion to celebrate the birthday of the eldest daughter.

Concubine Rui couldn't figure it out, and stammered: "Prince, the prince doesn't want to know about the condition of the majesty?"

Rui Wang glanced at her lightly. There are some things that Princess Rui understands without saying it. It must be the **** Chen Xiu who has heard the news in advance. However, Princess Rui was so angry that she was about to explode, but she couldn't do anything. She could only watch her prince continue to dote on Chen Xiu better than before.
