Chapter 728 Old resentment in the heart, twisting life

Xiuzhi was vigorous, and as soon as he held a hanging brocade curtain, there was a crisp sound of the porcelain cup falling to the ground, which made the blue and black brocade boots under the bamboo robe stop hastily.

The man with resolute and slightly unpretual facial features stood outside the curtain. At the top of his eyebrows, he stabbed into the sunset from the carved door and kept jumping.

The curtain then came out of the woman's slightly sharp and impatient venting: "Take it away! If I don't take this medicine, get out of here!"

Cai Zhen frowned, and with this slight move, he raised the curtain with a wave of his arm.

His wife, Su's Sanniang, crossed her knees and held the kang, and her chest fluctuated. She put her fist on the kang with one hand, just like she was still angry.

The maids knelt to the ground and were scared to crawl by the roar.

"Let's all go out." Cai Zhen said in a low voice. He looked at Yiluo, but saw that she was still avoiding his eyes and seemed to ignore his return. The paint box in his hand was tight, but he loosened his eyebrows and even took a smile. He put the paint box on the kang: "It's uncomfortable to know that you have been taking medicine these days. It's worth early today. , I specially bought you the desserts of Heweifang, which are all your favorite..."

"I don't have any preference. As long as I don't force me to take these mediocre medicine prescriptions again. After two years, I can't get pregnant. There must be no hope. Why torture people? It's just to pass on the family. At worst, I will give you two more concubines and bear a son as the name as the legitimate son!" Sanniang didn't wait for Cai Zhen to finish speaking, and then waved her hand again. The lacquer box was slammed far away, and several plates of exquisite desserts were smashed on the ground.

After the roar, the room fell silent.

Cai Zhen originally wanted to sit down next to the edge of the kang, which stiffened his spine. His chin tightened, his eyebrows restrained anger, and his hand tightly clenched his fist, obviously trying to control his emotions.

After a while, the corners of his lips eased slightly. As soon as he spoke, he still said with a little solemnity: "Do you really want me to take a concubine?"

Sanniang suddenly blushed and stubbornly turned her face. Tears trembled on her eyelashes, but she refused to fall down.

Cai Zhen's eyes softened again, sighed, stretched out his hand to cover his wife's fist, and gently rubbed Sanniang's blue knuckles: "Is your mother embarrassed you again?"

Sanniang seemed to take a deep breath and tried her best not to choke out: "She doesn't dare yet."

"Don't talk like that!" Cai Zhen clenched his palm fiercely, and a green jade wrenched his finger that made San Niang's knuckles feel slightly hard and painful. He had no choice but to loosen his fist.

Cai Zhen felt this slight relaxation before sitting next to someone: "I know that because of the matter of the children, my mother is somewhat considerate and makes you feel wronged... Well, since you are tired of taking medicine, you can rest for a while. Just don't let your mother know that if there is any difficulty, you can speak directly to me. In front of my mother, I will always turn around for you. Huan, don't worry. If I am destined to have no children, I will succeed in the future. You can't mention the matter of concubines in the future.

After hearing this, Sanniang finally fell down, pulled away from her palm and hurriedly brushed her face. Her tone eased down, but her eyes always wandered stubbornly outside the window: "It's not for this."

"What is that for?" Cai Zhen completely rested his anger.

"The queen's birthday banquet, I only invited the wife of the son, but today I made a special trip to ask the maid to send me an invitation. I don't want to go, but my mother said that I can't disobey the order. If I get sick again, the queen will ask the imperial doctor in the palace to come to see me..." San Niang snorted coldly: "My fifth sister and Qin Shiyi The clan made trouble to death, and the storm of Qin Xiang's birthday banquet was just over. The queen asked me to enter the palace. She was bound to have bad intentions. She just wanted to revenge. Only the fifth sister did not deal with her. What does it have to do with me? I don't want to suffer the queen's anger.

"What's the world's wife? That's our sister-in-law." Cai Zhen sounded again, but his expression was quite helpless: "My mother must have said that for you, but she was gagged by the queen's people. On that day, Princess Fu and Princess Chu will also attend. With their care, you will not be aggrieved."

"It's not that simple." Sanniang became anxious and then looked at Cai Zhen: "I used to be a common girl, and I didn't deal with Qin's legitimate daughters. How did the queen think of me this time? You are the second son. If you don't attack the title in the future, it is impossible for me to be the master of Wu'an Houfu. I made a special invitation post. The plan must not be simple, and there may be some traps waiting.

Cai Zhen also came down cautiously: "Why don't you go back to the government and discuss with the princess of Chu first, and I will also find the king of Chu."

"Don't go." Sanniang raised her eyebrows: "I don't want to deal with them."

Cai Zhen shook his head and shook his head: "A Luo, this is not the time when he is capricious. Qin Xiang repeatedly provoked and aimed at Princess Chu alone. In addition to our in-laws, we and the Duke's government have always had common misfortunes and blessings. At that time, if it hadn't been for the old country's protection, Emperor Taizong was afraid that his grandfather would have been provoked by Jin. Later, although his grandfather was due to that accident In the end, the Cai family did not lose their title and were punished by the Tian family. The descendants of the Cai family will keep this kindness in mind. At present, the Duke of Wei and Qin Xiang have become a situation of water and fire, so the Cai family is irrepotent with the prime minister's mansion. Now that you have learned that the queen has a malicious intention, you should remind Princess Chu to be in front of it.

After a few breaths, Cai Zhen sighed again: "You are resistant to the princess. It's just because of old disputes and the passage of time. After all, it's blood relatives..."

"I knew that in your eyes, it was me who ignored the overall situation." Sanniang sneered, "If you want to find someone to be free, I will never take the initiative to deal with Princess Chu."

Cai Zhen choked and didn't force people any more.

He just couldn't figure out. Every time his sister-in-law talked about it, she praised Princess Chu for her deep righteousness, modesty and friendship, and his wife was by no means a vicious person, but a little narrow-minded. How could she be so estranged from Princess Chu's sisters as if there was a great resentment.

A woman's heart is really an undersea needle, which is unpredictable.

——

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. On the first day of the sky, Qin Ziruo took out his private silver and bought two rough maids and asked them to bathe in hot water. While the first ray of glow shined into the screen window, he was also full of mirror makeup.

She was only informed last night that she would go to the palace with the princess today.

Xia Ke, who passed the message, gritted his teeth and was unwilling.

The old princess was glad that it was a good thing.

Isn't it a good thing? It's actually a good omen. This time, the Empress Dowager personally issued an edict to let Princess Chu take her into the palace, and it was another day - Empress Fangchen.

indicates that the Empress Dowager has made a decision and should have allowed her to be a side concubine.

As expected, it is natural for the empress dowager to still take care of the emperor. The former emperor had an edict to supervise the government. The empress dowager has not been announced to the public for a long time, indicating that she has never been willing to conflict with the emperor in private. Even if there is still care for the Duke of Wei, it is limited. It is impossible to be serious with the Qin family for the sake of a Su concubine. Be the enemy.

It is wise to balance the power of all parties.

It does not indicate that the Holy Plan will be smooth sailing. Today is the day of Su Fei's death. No wonder the weather is so sunny and the morning glow is already shining in the east.

"Sister looks so good today." Qin Ziruo's "roommate" Yan'er flattered.

Of course, it's good. After today, you can no longer be commensurate with my sister. Qin Ziruo was so secretly.

Cloud's delicate face was made up for the first time, and he was dressed in brocade clothes, embroidered with exquisite curly grass, cinnabar and magnolia long skirts, and the gauze embroidered by Ai Qingjin silk. Even the embroidered shoes were also decorated with rice-sized beads.

Qin Ziruo suddenly restored the clothes of the prime minister's daughter.

Under the envious eyes of the maids, she went to see the old princess, who stroked her palms and smiled - it was really beautiful.

So she invited Qin Ziruo to have breakfast together, and the girl did not refuse any more. She really sat on the kang.

Mother Zhu almost couldn't help falling, forcing herself not to pay attention to Miss Qin and looked out of the window at a glance.

No wonder Miss Qin couldn't calm down and showed this rampant madness. It is estimated that the excitement at Qin Xiang's birthday banquet was so deep that her mentality was unbalanced and she was too looking forward to the first day.

and the return of the princess - the two families are at the opposite door, and today they were invited together. Although the princess returned home to live, she was still the princess and should enter the palace with the old princess.

Seeing Qin Ziruo's appearance at a glance, the princess immediately frowned: "Zi Ruo, this dress is inappropriate. It's too much."

It's so lightly described.

M Mother Zhu couldn't hold back and coughed out.

Qin Ziruo suddenly turned pale.

"The Empress Dowager did not directly edict you." A reminder from the scenery.

That is to say, just let me take you to the palace - the maidservant's dress is courteous.

The old princess always ignored these trivial things and said, "Then change your clothes quickly and don't delay the time carefully."

If Qin Zi had to swallow his anger - Concubine Su just wants to embarrass herself, she only needs to endure a moment of humiliation. Today, even if she is only a side concubine, Su will be reduced to death, but she will have three feet of white silk or a glass of wine.

But it is inevitable to be angry and negligent when restoring the maidservant's dress - the clothes have been changed, and most of the golden hairpin and jade have been taken, but it is only that the heavy makeup has not been washed, and it seems particularly discordant against the waiter's clothing.

Although Zhuoyan Garden is a separate palace, it only takes about half an hour to go from the inner city in the western suburbs, but in the end, the landscape is mostly similar to the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with the majestic and square scenery of the palace, it is very suitable for summer, which is as diligent as Gaozu, Emperor Taizong or the late emperor. When the heat is unbearable, there are also the palace. At this time, it was no better than the Rehe Palace. Although it was cooler, it was really a waste for the courtiers to move to Zhouzhang.

With the Zhuoyin Garden, a separate palace in Kyoto, it is very convenient to integrate political leisure.

Today, in addition to the clans invited by the Empress Dowager, there are a group of people who participated in the Queen's Fangchen banquet. There are public waiting wives and foreign wives. The emperor has long been ordered to follow the queen's wishes.

No matter how casual it is, according to different grades, there are also the time to enter the palace.

For example, Yijing and other princesses can arrive before the banquet, but Wu'an Houfu and other women's family have to rush to Chenzheng and kneel down to celebrate their birthday first.

Although Su Yiluo was unwilling, she had to go with her sister-in-law.

The wife of Hou Shizi of Wu'an is also from a noble background. Her father is a local capital. Her surname is Xie. She is upright by nature and it is not difficult to get along with her. Although Sanniang, a wife, has always been as cold as frost, Xie doesn't mind. Along the way, she said a lot of noble women' comments: "It is said that this time, the emperor intended to come to the other palace to escape the summer in June. The queen added light, and the queen's birthday is not a whole life. If she is not happy to celebrate, she has already decided to hold a banquet in the garden, that is, an ordinary palace banquet. If in terms of the ancestral system, the emperor should not abandon the government as an accompaniment. Instead, he came to the other palace in advance to relieve the summer heat in order to have a banquet. This statement is just promoted by Qin Xiang's party feathers, which seems that the queen is more favored. If the emperor really valued the queen, why don't he just hold a banquet in the palace? Or simply order all officials to celebrate their birthday after making filial piety? How much scenery?

Xie smiled and said, "It's not that Qin Xiang's birthday banquet made a big laugh. After all, the emperor wants to be caged. Many people say that in fact, the noble concubine is pregnant and can't stand the heat. For this reason, the emperor simply moved to another palace. This statement is also more reliable than adding light for the queen. Don't worry too much, emperor Later, even if she wanted to find her grandfather's face, she specially edicted you to enter the palace. Princess Fu was fine. Princess Chu was not a soft bone. In addition, today, the Empress Dowager edicted the eldest princess and other patriarchs to enter the palace, and the queen did not dare to mess up.

Xie said happily, but Sanniang turned a deaf ear until she entered the palace and had nothing to say except the congratulatory message she said when following the crowd.

But the queen left her alone to "talk".

Xie probably knew that something was wrong and looked back step by step when he went out.

After the woman in the house paid homage, it was the turn of the ordinary woman, and the third woman waited in the side hall for a while.

It's so easy. The queen came and said a few cold words, but the emperor came again.

But he didn't talk to Sanniang, but went around the partition.

However, this obviously means that the queen's next words came from the tacit approval of the emperor.

When Sanniang stepped out of the queen's temporary bedroom, she was quite depressed.

There is intermittent intimidation and inducement in my ears--

"Don't think that you can enjoy glory after your mother's family. After all, this world is the holy world, even the honor and disgrace of the Cai family, and only rely on the holy will... If you do this, in the future, the title of Wu'an Hou may change Cai to inherit..."

Between the flowers and leaves, the falling sunlight and the shadow in the water-colored light of Kunming Lake in the distance seem to echo far and near, so dazzling.

Sanniang was stunned and saw a row of shoulders in front of her.

After the curtain hung lightly, Su Yujing's smile was more dazzling than this June's charming light.

Sanniang stopped in the secluded path and smiled coldly.

Five sister, did you expect that your life and death would be in my hands today?
