Chapter 33 The Truth
It is said that it is a meal, who dares to be full.Xing Zhao now eats everything tasteless, and he is thinking of Amitabha Buddha silently in his heart, and he just wants to leave quickly after this meal.

After finally finishing their meal, the eldest princesses took their leave, saying that they were going to Kanghe Palace to visit their respective mothers and concubines.

How could Empress Fang not respond, and ordered Miss Jiang to take out several boxes, "The medicinal materials sent from the northwest, including velvet antler and ginseng, Ba Niang gave birth to her first child, remember to give her some." send out.Empress Fang treated these sister-in-laws very well. When Emperor Zhangde ascended the throne, the concubine sisters were all young.It is said that people, dowry, and marriage are all in the hands of Queen Fang, and Queen Mother Gu just shirks and has no energy to take care of it.

As soon as he left, Yingyi just put a piece of honeydew melon on his fork and didn't eat it. He put it in the pastel saucer in front of him and played with it. He raised his eyes and joked: "The Fang family is the emperor of the Northwest. They are rich and powerful, what can't be done?" It’s embarrassing for my sister-in-law, who has neither given birth nor conceived, and knows that these things are good for confinement.”

All the wives hold their breath and concentrate.In the hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many queens have no children.It's just that Ying Yi is still No. 1 for those who dare to criticize in front of her face. She dares to speak out, but it doesn't mean that outsiders dare to listen.

Empress Fang turned her head and greeted Mrs. Li again: "I heard that your waist and legs are not very good a few days ago? Are you better now? I remember that Li's family lives in Shuangqing Hutong in the outer suburbs, so I don't want to stay any longer. It’s too late, and the road will be difficult to walk.”

The Li family was relieved, and Mrs. Li, who was over 60, stood up tremblingly and said in a trembling voice, "I am grateful for the kindness of the empress." Mrs. Li turned her head with the help of Mrs. Li He bowed to Yingyi and met Mrs. He, and then he left and went home.

In the huge main hall, only Empress Fang, Ying Yi, Princess Zhongning and the He family remained.Only then did Empress Fang stretch her back, fixed her eyes on Ying Yi, and said in a cold voice, "Is it okay to say the word emperor casually? Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land. You are the princess of the royal family, so you need to be more cautious in your words and deeds, where do you put the emperor, where do you put this palace?"

Happy!These four words only came to Xing Zhao's mind.

Xing Zhao lowered his head, reached for the teacup on the table, and was burying his head in a small sip, when there was a sudden "bang"—it was Ying Yi who smashed the melon on the plate in a fit of anger, and Xing Zhao shook his hand, A few drops of tea were spilled on the skirt of the clothes.

Empress Fang glanced at Xingzhao, and first ordered people: "Take Wenyang county master to change clothes inside. Ah Wu can also wear Xiaojiu's clothes."

After the palace servants led Xing Zhao into the cabinet, Empress Fang glanced at Princess Zhongning, who was submissive, from the corner of her eyes: "Yingyi doesn't know how to make progress, so Zhongning, the elder sister, should take care of it. My palace speaks loudly. Ying Yi feels uncomfortable. You feel bad, and the Queen Mother loves you even more."

Princess Zhongning's face turned pale when she heard that, what is her background, her mother and concubine were originally just palace servants next to the Empress Dowager Gu, but now she is married to an idle nobleman, relying on her own livelihood.As long as Empress Fang and Yingyi have a quarrel, Queen Mother Gu is reluctant to blame Yingyi, and Empress Fang has a tough style, she will be the first one to be dealt with.Seeing that Yingyi was about to get up after a "snag", she rushed over to hold it down, and comforted her with winks: "Didn't you hit it off with Mrs. Lin'an Hou? Why didn't you invite Mrs. He to Mingzhu Tower for tea?"

When Ying Yi heard this, he paused for a moment, then turned to laugh, got up and blessed him hastily, as an apology: "I said so, please don't worry, sister-in-law." He walked over to pull the lady with a charming smile. , "Madam Lin'an, would you like to have tea with Ah Huan? The Pearl Tower is where I used to live. There are all kinds of flowers and plants. It looks very pretty."

Since entering the palace today, Mrs. Tai has not put down the Buddhist beads in her hand. Hearing what Yingyi said, she couldn't help but stop her and said, "How dare a married woman run around in the palace? The eldest princess has good intentions."

"This is a matter between me and Da Furen. Tai Furen can rest assured to have tea with the Queen. Before the key is released at the palace gate, Ying Yi will definitely send Da Furen back in full." Ying Yi waved his hand and shook his head. Cut off Mrs. Tai's words.

Mrs. Tai stopped turning the beads and looked at the queen.

The eldest lady is in a dilemma, she has a very good impression of Correspondence, but she dare not go against the wish of the eldest lady.

"You should go if you are invited. You are not allowed to bring maids into the palace, so let Jiang Mingying accompany you." Queen Fang made the final decision.

As soon as the words fell, "Empress!" Yingyi's sharp voice rose, and Zhongning tugged at the corner of Yingyi's clothes from behind, signaling that she would take it as soon as she was ready. It was inconvenient to say anything—but it was better than nothing at all.

Jiang Mingying is the most capable person around the queen. The queen didn't know about the lawsuit between Yingyi and the eldest lady, but she also put Jiang Mingying by her sister's side as if she had a tacit understanding.Ying Yi walked outside with the eldest lady on his arm, and happily told Zhong Ning: "Second sister stay with the queen well, it happens that the four of you can play leaf cards!"

In the cabinet, Xingzhao changed into the skirt of the Nine Princesses, with a blue-green trimmed collar on the skirt, a skirt on the bottom, and a double-snail bun again.As soon as he came out, he found that the eldest lady was gone, his heart tightened, and he asked repeatedly: "Where's mother!?"

The queen replied with a smile: "Yingyi invited her to tea." Then she beckoned, "Come here quickly, come to my aunt."

Xing Zhao quickly turned around and ran to chase, trying to keep up with the eldest lady.Zhong Ning stretched out his arms and hugged Xing Zhao, who was pushing Xiao Suibu out, and hugged him in his arms. He smiled and said to Mrs. Tai: "This little lady is as good as a kitten or a puppy, chasing after her." They are all going to be kicked out."

Xing Zhao was held in that person's arms, and desperately pushed her hand out, but he couldn't move, his face flushed red, and tears swirled in his eyes.The visitor was not kind, and no one knew Yingyi's intentions better than her.No, there might be some, such as Zhong Ning, who stubbornly blocked her.

When Empress Fang saw her, her eyes flashed with displeasure, "Zhongning, what kind of metaphor is this?" Then she asked the palace servants to lead her, and comforted her softly: "Your mother will be back in a while, they probably all walked away , you can’t find it even if you look for it. My aunt knew you were coming, so she had someone make golden shredded cakes, would you like to taste them?”

Mrs. Tai personally took out her little granddaughter from Zhongning's arms. Xing Zhao felt a pat on his back, and heard Mrs. Tai whispering in his ear: "Jiang Shangyi is following, she is a very shrewd person." With a determined expression on her face, Mrs. Tai choked twice and held back her tears.Seeing that the little granddaughter had calmed down, Mrs. Tai smiled and handed her over to the palace man, and said to the queen: "I have been clingy since I was a child, and what Princess Zhongning said is not wrong."

Empress Fang held Xing Zhao in her arms, and comforted her softly, "Do you want to drink cheese?", "Shall I let the little eunuch make a joke?", "If your mother doesn't come back, my aunt will help you find it, okay?" ?”

Xing Zhao answered one by one restlessly. In the previous life, she had been together for more than ten years, and she was no stranger to the queen from the bottom of her heart. The queen was overjoyed and called Xing Zhao to have a fate with her.

The imperial city covers an area of ​​nearly [-] hectares, and it sleeps at the front and at the back. Yingyi's boudoir Mingzhulou is located in the northeast corner of Taiye Lake, close to Qianqing Palace and Cihe Palace, which is similar to Xingzhao's Huaishan Garden.

Yingyi and the eldest lady walked in the Garden of Return, followed by the attendants. Small mottled stones paved a winding and secluded stone path. The snow on the side of the road could cover the back of the feet, and there were verdant trees growing on the side. There are small shrubs, and there are also three-person tall cypress trees with lush branches and leaves, some of which stick out their heads and hit the stone road. It can be seen that the palace people don't come here often.

The eldest lady raised her skirt, managed to avoid a puddle of unmelted snow, and seeing Yingyi walking ahead, she kept calling: "Princess, please slow down. This road is not easy at all."

Ying Yi turned sideways lazily, watching Dan Ping pestering Jiang Mingying from afar to keep him from coming in, relieved, pointed with plain hands, and asked the lady to look: "Look over there."

The eldest lady looked along her fingertips, but saw nothing, and asked in amazement: "Who is the eldest princess referring to?"

Ying Yi smiled as if he had suddenly realized, and said slowly: "I was confused. How could others see it." Seeing that the lady looked even more confused, he kindly explained: "When I was young, I always sneaked to this forest path alone. Come here, sit under the tree and look west like this, with the afterglow of the sunset, I always feel that this is the most beautiful scenery in the world."

The eldest lady smiled and replied: "Perhaps the good scene is covered by snow now."

"No, it's not." Ying Yi said sternly, "It's because of the person who is by my side. With that person around, I feel that everywhere is a good painting."

The eldest lady was stunned, and Chi asked: "Is it the son of Duke Wei?"

Yingyi sneered, looked down, and denied with contempt: "He? He is a coward and a villain." It seemed that the play was enough, the cat showed its sharp claws, Yingyi smiled and pulled the lady past, He patted the back of Da Furen's hand one after another, lowered his voice, and said with a chuckle, "That person is the Marquis of Lin'an."

Like thunder from the sky, the Da Furen stood still, dumbfounded.

Ying Yi's smile became brighter and brighter, as if he was very happy to see the eldest lady like this, dumb and stupid, her red lips moved closer to the eldest lady's ear, and continued: "The half mirror with the bright moon pattern is mine, and the other half is in congratulations." Where is Yan, getting together is the best way to have a full moon."

The lady's eyes widened, and she suddenly remembered that on New Year's Eve, He Yan was holding the half-mirror in a dazed state, and she was so frightened that she took two steps back and forced a smile: "Who hasn't been young and frivolous. Now both of you are married and married." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly covered his mouth, Ying Yi's husband died!

Ying Yi lightly pressed the ruby ​​that was the size of a fingernail between his temples, and snorted with a smile, but with anger: "This is all arranged by the heavens, otherwise, why would one get away and the other rush to propose marriage?" ?”

Da Furen was stunned, and shook her head in disbelief: "How could Lord Hou marry you! How is it possible?" At the end, she was crying and roaring, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, as if trying to convince herself, and muttering: "You are lying Me. Even if you have each other, you are a princess, you can’t marry into the concubine’s room.”

Ying Yi chuckled, and held the eldest lady happily, and lowered her voice with a bit of temptation: "You don't believe me? Then ask He Yan. Marriage is naturally a phoenix coronet and a red makeup."
