National Beauty

On the first day of the first lunar month, all princes will bring their families into the palace to pay New Year greetings to the emperors and concubines.

The carriage of the Shou Palace stopped outside the palace gate. Zhao Heng got off the carriage first, hugged Zhao Zhao and Brother You, and then personally helped Song Jianing. Seeing the tall man standing in front of the carriage, Song Jianing was filled with emotion. The prince pampered her very much, but before she was kidnapped by Guo Xiao to Shu, the prince seldom showed his affection for her in front of outsiders. For example, when entering the palace, he always asked the maids to help her get on and off the car and return from Shu, the prince. It's even better for her, so good that he has no scruples.

"Mother, the fourth uncle is here!" Just as Song Jianing moved to the front of the car, Zhao Zhao suddenly pointed to the laneway. Song Jianing looked around and saw the carriage of Prince Gong's Mansion.

"Wait for the Four Highnesses?" Song Jianing softly discussed with Zhao Heng. The last time I saw Sister Mulan, it was the Double Ninth Festival.

Zhao Heng knew that she was close to Li Mulan and nodded, so Zhao Heng hugged Brother You, who was wrapped in a pair of big eyes, Song Jianing took Zhaozhao, and a family of four stood side by side outside the palace gate, waiting to meet Wang Gong and his wife. Enter the palace together. In the distance, the **** with the car promptly reminded the masters inside that, upon hearing this, Prince Gong immediately leaned out the car door and smiled and waved to the third brother's family.

"Uncle Si, I miss you so much!"

The carriage of Prince Gong's Mansion hadn't stopped yet, Zhao Zhao sweetly acted like a baby to King Gong, of course it was also because King Gong was always very kind to her.

"The fourth uncle wants Zhaozhao too!" Wang Gong jumped out of the carriage, shouted the third brother and the third wife, and hugged Zhaozhao when he walked over. He is a military commander with a burly body, even with only one arm left, he can still hold him very easily.

Zhao Zhao smiled and hugged his uncle's head, and kissed his uncle vigorously.

King Gong suddenly remembered something, and while putting down Zhaozhao, he hurriedly explained: "The fourth uncle will help the fourth aunt first, and then hug Zhaozhao later."

Zhao Zhao was ignorant, but Song Jianing stared at the exposed Li Mulan in shock. Facing Li Mulan's bulging belly, Song Jianing didn't say anything for a long time. How could it be possible that Li Mulan's belly was flat when I met in September, and I never heard of being pregnant. Why is it that I have been pregnant for five or six months now?

Seeing Song Jianing's dull look, Li Mulan quickly flashed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and then quickly moved her anger to Prince Gong, and said in a low voice, "Get out of the way." Since she was pregnant, King Gong treated her like a porcelain bottle. Taking care, this makes Li Mulan, who is a woman and a man, very unbearable.

"When is the time, you are still brave." Prince Gong refused and insisted on helping her. He was only married half a year later than his third brother. As a result, the third brother had two children, and his seed had just sprouted. nervous?

Li Mulan still wanted to reprimand the man, but she caught a glimpse of Shouwang holding Brother You'er and turned it over, as if she was caught in the eyes of their husband and wife. Li Mulan's face was inexplicably hot, and she gave King Gong a fierce look, and then reluctantly handed her hand to King Gong, and then, as soon as she stood firm, she threw away King Gong and went to find Song Jianing.

"Sister, how many months have it been?" Song Jianing held her arm and asked softly.

Li Mulan made a gesture. She had been pregnant for two months on the Double Ninth Festival, but Li Mulan didn't think it was worth talking about, so she didn't mention it to anyone.

"Don't say it earlier, otherwise I will go see you more." Song Jianing said grotesquely.

Li Mulan smiled.

"The fourth aunt has a younger brother too." Zhao Zhao said happily, looking at his aunt's belly.

Song Jianing laughed, Li Mulan rubbed Zhaozhao's head, and said heartily: "Maybe it's my sister."

Zhaozhao liked his younger brother and younger sister. After thinking about it, his little hand gently pressed his aunt's belly and said, "Sister is out, I will comb my sister's hair."

Li Mulan, who had always been obsessed with being pregnant with her cute and pleasant appearance, suddenly looked forward to giving birth to a baby girl. Prince Gong patted his elder brother on the shoulder and teased in a low voice: "It's still the third sister-in-law who will teach the children, otherwise it will become the temper of the third brother, and it will not be cute."

He was hurting Zhao Heng, but Zhao Heng felt very pleasant, and implicitly looked at his little princess proudly.

The two people talked all the way to the Chongzheng Hall and found that Rui Wang and his wife had arrived. Rui Wang was talking with Emperor Xuande. Rui Wang took the children to the Central Palace. As for the side concubine Chen Xiu, it is not enough to enter the palace to pay New Year’s greetings. , Unless they have royal blood.

Enter the palace in the morning, after the banquet at noon, the princes go back to the palace, and in the evening they will enter the palace to have a banquet.

In the Palace of Shou, Zhao Heng got off the car and received the wink from the guard Zongze. At that moment, Zhao Heng thought of Guo Xiao. When Guo Xiao's body was not found under the cliff, Zhao Heng ordered the dark guards to stare at the place Guo Xiao might appear, assuming Guo Xiao was alive, so as not to give Guo Xiao another chance to commit murder.

However, when Zhao Heng arrived in the study, Zong Ze reported an unexpected news to him.

~

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Rui Wang's eldest son, Brother Li, was celebrating his first birthday, and the whole government got busy early.

Chen Xiu was not idle either. She got up before dawn and got up to dress up, put on her makeup and put on the Chinese clothes. Chen Xiu called the maids to wait outside, and then she sat back in front of the dressing table. A bright and moving face appeared in the mirror. Chen Xiu touched the mirror obsessively, but in his mind was the ugly face of Princess Rui holding Brother Li to show off.

Chen Xiu hates Princess Rui and wants to kill her, but Chen Xiu knows very well that she has no chance to murder Princess Rui. First, Princess Rui cannot be harmed without disturbing Princess Rui. Second, she cannot be placed beside Princess Rui. Eyeliner. The only thing she can deal with is Brother Li. This is blood for blood, Princess Rui killed her poor child, she deserves to be punished on Princess Rui's son! She wants to let Princess Rui thoroughly understand the pain of losing her child!

Her breathing became heavier, and Chen Xiu stared at the mirror for a long time before she closed her eyes. After a while, Chen Xiu took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and poured the medicine powder in the porcelain bottle into a tea bowl, stirring slowly. Seeing the clear tea gradually becoming muddy, the corners of Chen Xiu's mouth turned up. Today, Brother Li is catching Zhou, and guests from the palace are in full force. Maybe how many people will embrace Brother Li, and she is not the only one who is doubtful when something happens to Brother Li. Isn't Shouwang's disgust greater than her?

Princess Rui might suspect her first, but at that time her evidence was destroyed. With her grandfather as the prime minister, King Rui would believe her, and Princess Rui would take her helplessly and most likely turn to suspect Shouwang. King Shou...Chen Xiu remembered the situation in the paddock of Beiyuan again. King Shou couldn't save him when he saw his death. Now he is serving her as a shield, which is also retribution.

These people deserve it!

Chen Xiuyin thought fiercely, after the poisonous water was prepared, Chen Xiu put the index finger of his right hand into the tea bowl, immersed the two knuckles, then took out his fingers, and waited patiently for the poisonous water to dry up. Prepared properly, Chen Xiu hid the porcelain vase, in case this poisoning fails, look for another opportunity next time. The water from the tea bowl was poured into the Gong bucket, and Chen Xiu washed it several times with one hand to thoroughly wash away the poisonous water residue.

Just when Chen Xiu poured out his tea for the last time, Rui Wang's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Why are you all guarding outside?"

Chen Xiu was horrified, and then quietly flashed out of the clean room. Just after putting the tea bowl in, King Rui opened the door and walked in.

"Master?" Chen Xiu pretended to stand up after drinking tea, and looked at the man at the door in surprise. Today, the princess was holding a wedding in the courtyard, and Chen Xiu really didn't expect that the king would come to see her.

King Rui didn't even think about it. He rested with the princess last night, and planned to go to the front yard in the morning. The ghost and goddess thought of his first son. It was Chen Xiusheng's. He once held it in his arms excitedly, but his father and son were so fateful that the child left without alive for two quarters of an hour. Thinking of his deceased son, Rui Wang was in a heavy heart. He looked at Chen Xiu's yard and suddenly felt pity. Brother Li caught Zhou. In such a day, Chen Xiu must be more painful, right?

So Rui Wang came, and wanted to secretly comfort Chen Xiu before the guests came to the door.

Seeing Chen Xiu's face pale now, Rui Wang became more sure of his guess, walked to Chen Xiu's side, and put the person in his arms and said, "I know you are uncomfortable, don't worry about embroidering, you are still young, and I hurt so much. I love you and I will be pregnant again soon."

Rui Wang is really satisfied with Chen Xiu. The downfall of the King of Chu was due to Chen Xiu’s informing him. Zhao Pu was willing to speak up for him in front of his father. It must be because of Chen Xiu. Such a beautiful and helpful concubine, of course Rui Wang You need to spend more time thinking about it.

"I thought that if the prince had a princess, I wouldn't be scared of me." Chen Xiu raised his head, looking at King Rui with beautiful eyes. She once hated King Rui, but the love that King Rui could come over at this time still warmed Chen Xiu's heart.

"Say sour words again." King Rui took her little hand and kissed her, while Chen Xiu's index finger was on her lips, and he flirted frivolously: "Natural fox Meizi is the most provocative. Who has this king forgotten? , I can't forget you."

Rui Wangsheng’s suave, sweet words, those eyes can catch the soul of almost any woman. Chen Xiu was fascinated by Rui Wang’s affectionate appearance, until he reluctantly sent Rui Wang away, until he sat alone in her boudoir. After reminiscing the sweetness just now, Chen Xiu suddenly felt cold all over when looking at the index finger held by King Rui, like falling into an ice cave.

The prince, the prince contained the finger that she wiped poisonously!

Suddenly, Chen Xiu held the bed frame in time. He didn't faint, his hands and feet were cold, only his heart thumped more and more fiercely, frightened and frightened. The prince took the poison by mistake, what should she do? Remind the prince to persuade the prince to ask the emperor as soon as possible to detoxify? No way, no way. Saying it is tantamount to throwing herself into the trap. The prince may be able to detoxify, and she will undoubtedly die if she is poisoned.

Chen Xiu immediately denied this idea. Since I can't remind, then...

Chen Xiu's eyes were dull. Lord, will you die? There shouldn't be much poison on her fingers. The prince is strong, maybe it's okay?

It will be okay, it will be okay.

Chen Xiu tried his best to comfort herself. After reading it many times, Chen Xiu looked at her fingers and rushed to the copper basin to carefully rub her hands. After washing and washing, she no longer thought of poisoning Brother Li. At the next banquet, Chen Xiu acted as natural as possible, and his thoughts were actually in the front yard. Fortunately, the prince did not report any bad news until dark.

Chen Xiu half-hearted, maybe there is not much poison on his fingers?

Uneasy, Chen Xiu didn't sleep almost all night.

Rui Wang slept soundly, but when he woke up the next day, Rui Wang felt uncomfortable, his head was dizzy, and his chest was also stuffy. However, during the Spring Festival, Rui Wang did not ask for an imperial doctor. Instead, he felt that he drank too much last night Yes, every time a hangover is like this. Enduring the discomfort, King Rui continued to take his wife and children into the palace for a banquet. He unexpectedly walked to the Chongzheng Hall, and King Rui went black and fell...
