The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(106)
But all this is not based on the relationship between father and daughter, but for profit. Seeing that she could not give birth to the eldest son of Prince Jin's Palace, she sent another daughter over, for fear that the throne of Prince Jin's Palace would fall into other hands.
Without his father's support, Xu Yueru would never dare to do this. Princess Jin even knew that she must not make a mistake, because if she made a mistake, Xu Yueru would take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, and then the position of Princess Jin would have to be replaced.
They are all daughters of the Xu family anyway, so his father won't care, and neither will His Highness.
Princess Jin couldn't help but think of Su. If Concubine Hu had gone to Rongxi Courtyard today and was poisoned and died when she came back, I'm afraid Her Highness would never be like that at that time.
Inexplicably, she felt a little jealous.
Mother Zhou was still mumbling: "...Then Su Shi is really lucky. The whole family actually let her get pregnant. If the baby is a boy -" she paused and said hurriedly: "If it is true He is a man, and the queen must take him over to raise him.”
Princess Jin had a headache. This nanny of hers is getting more and more old and confused. Now is the time to care about this matter? She winked at Zihan, and someone came to interrupt her and invited Zhou's mother out.
After Zhou's mother left, the room fell into silence.
Princess Jin was sitting there alone, thinking quietly. Suddenly she seemed to think of something, and her voice tightened: "Go and call Ziyu over."
Zihan was stunned for a moment and then got busy.
Everyone in the palace knows that the princess has four maids named after Zi.
As everyone knows, there are not four purples, but five.
There is another one named Ziyu.
This purple jade is in charge of Princess Jin's private treasury. Being able to sit in this position means that this person is trusted by Princess Jin, but this person rarely shows his face in front of others.
Ziyu came, bowed respectfully to Princess Jin, and then stood at the bottom.
Princess Jin retreated to the left and right, even Ziyan Zihan let out.
When Zi Yan retreated, she glanced at the princess, with a flash of worry in her eyes.
Princess Jin looked at the man in front of her, and many things flashed through her eyes in an instant, including confusion, memories, melancholy...
For a long time, everything fell silent.
Princess Jin asked: "Does today's matter have anything to do with you?"
Chapter 85
It was already winter, and Princess Jin was particularly intolerant of the cold, so Siyi Courtyard burned the earth dragon early. The room was filled with warmth, and fragrant cakes were burning in a gilded lotus petal incense cage, filling the room with fragrance.
It's plum fragrance, mixed with a refreshing taste.
Ziyu stood there quietly, her delicate face looking calm. She lowered her eyebrows and said calmly, "Your Majesty, my slave cannot understand what you are saying."
Princess Jin looked at her quietly, then sighed and smiled again: "It's okay if it's not you, go down."
Ziyu went down.
…
In Rongyiyuan, it was already the time to light the lanterns. Several hexagonal lotus palace lanterns were hung everywhere, illuminating the room brightly.
King Jin and Yao Niang had just finished their dinner, and Yao Niang came back from her bath. She sat in front of the dressing table and let Yu Chan help dry her hair with a smoker. King Jin was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch not far away, looking at the stack of paper in his hand with a cup of tea beside him.
Yao Niang was a little curious about what was written on the paper, because she had been looking at it for a long time since she saw King Jin.
Yuchan handed the cloisonné enamel smoke cage to the red silk to hold, and took a jade comb to comb Yao Niang's hair. Yao Niang has very good long hair, black and shiny, thick yet flexible, and Yu Chan can comb it from head to tail with almost no effort.
After untying all her hair, Yu Chan did not give Yao Niang a bun. Instead, she braided two bunches loosely and hung them on both sides of her shoulders. In this way, you don't have to worry about your hair being scattered, and you don't have to remove the bun when you take a break later.
Yao Niang wears a water-red fine cotton jacket and trousers, and a pink waistcoat. The earth dragon is burned in the house, but it doesn't feel cold. Instead, it gives people a sense of warmth like spring all year round.
She came to sit next to King Jin and curiously looked at the paper in his hand.
There were many words written on it, and when Yao Niang went up, she saw the big words "taboo for sexual intercourse" written in the first column. He almost choked on his own saliva and wanted to look at it again. King Jin had already reacted and folded the things and put them on the table beside him.
He turned to look at her and saw that her skin was as good as snow, but her eyes were full of water, and her complexion was very rosy. You Qi let her bun down and tied her hair like this, and she suddenly felt very small.
King Jin hoarse his voice and asked, "How old are you?"
Well……
Yao Niang was a little confused as to why King Jin asked such a question, but she still answered truthfully: "I am almost sixteen."
She is sixteen and he is twenty six this year.
What is he doing at the age of ten?
In order to win the attention of his father, he would get up before dawn every day, work hard and practice kung fu steadily, and he would not fall behind in his knowledge. He would go to the study room for evaluation every ten days, and among the princes, he would always be ranked among the top three. He has been able to play the tricks in the palace very well, and he can fight openly and secretly with the princes without losing. Even though I had my first virginity, I also know which palace maid is good-looking...
Suddenly, I felt like I was so much older than her, and she was so pitiful.
She was already a little woman at such a small age, with his little baby in her belly. It was the little baby he planted in her belly by working hard every day.
Prince Jin's eyes became darker, and the red circle in his pupils became even redder and turned black. He suddenly stood up and said: "You rest, I will return to Chaohui Hall."
Yao Niang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the back of the King of Jin hurriedly leaving in confusion. He was fine before, why did he suddenly leave? But she didn't think much about it, just thought he was in trouble, and couldn't help but think of the saying that sex is taboo, and her face immediately blushed.
What is she thinking!
After the King of Jin left, Yao Niang was free, and she couldn't sleep for a while, so she asked Hongdie to bring Xiaobao over.
Anyway, the King of Jin was not here tonight, so she wanted to sleep with Xiaobao.
But Hongdie begged: "Madam, this is absolutely not possible. The young master is still young. What if he kicks at night?"
Yao Niang recalled whether Xiaobao liked to kick people when he slept, anyway, she had never been kicked.
"It's okay, Xiaobao doesn't kick people." Seeing that Hongdie was still hesitant, she couldn't help but say again: "This bed is so wide, I'll stay away from him, it's okay."
Unable to persuade Yao Niang, Hongdie could only go and bring Xiaobao over.
In fact, Yao Niang had another purpose in letting Xiao Bao sleep with her. Now that she was pregnant, if she alienated Xiao Bao, she was afraid that the child would think that he was pregnant and would not be close to him.
Although Xiao Bao was only a baby of more than ten months, Yao Niang always felt that he was very sensible and felt that he could not be treated in the same way as other children. Besides, the baby at this time already understood some things.
The mother and son sat on the bed and played for a while. Seeing Yao Niang yawning one after another, Xiao Bao rubbed his eyes.
"Xiao Bao is sleepy, so let's go to sleep, okay?" Yao Niang asked.
Xiao Bao rubbed his eyes again and fell down. Yao Niang hurriedly told Yu Chan to turn off the lights, leaving only one in the corner.
Chaohui Hall
After returning, King Jin went to take a bath first, and then went to the study.
On the desk, many court reports, letters, secret letters, and official documents were neatly stacked, all arranged by category.
He first took the important secret letter to read, and occasionally wrote something on it, while Fucheng quietly helped to grind the ink. It was almost the second watch, and he had only processed half of it.
The King of Jin rubbed his eyebrows, and a feeling of irritation arose spontaneously. Since he was poisoned, his patience was not as good as before.
"Your Highness, I have something to report."
With a hoarse male voice, An Shi, dressed in black, suddenly appeared in front of the desk.
The King of Jin did not even raise his head, "Speak."
"The princess met a maid named Ziyu."
The King of Jin paused for a moment while writing, and then waved his hand, and An Shi disappeared.
Fucheng hesitated and said, "If I remember correctly, this girl named Ziyu was a maid next to that person, and was given to the princess by that person."
Not many people knew about this matter, and the reason why the King of Jin knew about a maid was because he specially ordered people to check the Princess of Jin after the incident. However, this girl is plain-looking and has always been obedient, so no one has paid much attention to her over time.
The King of Jin just sneered, his eyes dark.
"So it seems that Concubine Hu was secretly poisoned by this girl under the hand of the princess. But if that is true, why is the lineage of Prince Yong so persistent in this matter? First it was Xiaobao, then Madam Su, they caught her but didn't kill her, that man died, then Taohong died, the family of Taoshan also died, and Concubine Hu..."
This is exactly what the King of Jin is thinking about at this time. He always has a feeling that there is a huge secret behind this, and he is only a thin layer of window paper away from this huge secret.
"When will An Yi come back?"
"An Yi wrote to me last time, saying that he had received the things, and it will probably arrive in the near future."
"Write to him, and ask him to hurry up."
At first, Fu Cheng did not understand why the King of Jin was urging him, because An Yi had written to him once before, and Old Man Liu and him were very happy, but His Highness was calm. But soon Fu Cheng understood that His Highness had been delaying the poisoning because of Madam Su, and now that Madam Su was pregnant, she could not serve His Highness anymore.
When he thought of this, Fu Cheng became anxious.
Madam was born with thousands of charming and beautiful things, and His Highness was in the prime of his life, and now he was being pampered. If he accidentally couldn't control his emotions, it would be bad.
He hurriedly said, "I will have someone write to An Yi now."
Early in the morning, just after dawn, the Princess of Jin came to Chaohui Hall.
