A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 3

Qing Mosao said: "My servant has already inquired about it. Prime Minister Shen is only 26 years old. He has countless concubines but no heirs. It seems that he is deeply favored by the emperor, has a high position and power, and has a lot of influence in the court."

The eyes lit up with a "ding", and Jiang Taohua blinked: "This prime minister is more powerful than the Southern King?"

"That's for sure." Qingmo nodded: "Nan Wang is too young, and has no power or influence. He just has the title of prince, and he is the least favored among the princes."

In other words, she missed a prince, but gained an even more remarkable prime minister?Then this deal is not bad!Jiang Taohua immediately regained her spirits, laughed a few times, and looked around the room.

"Go get me a rope."

"Princess?" Moss frowned, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't be nervous." Taohua said relaxedly, "I just got hanged."

moss:"……"

"Hey, don't press me down, it hurts!" Jiang Taohua couldn't laugh or cry seeing the girl rushing up so nervously.Being pressed down on the bed by her, she finally seized a chance to say: "I didn't want to die, really! But now the situation is that I married your princess by mistake, if I don't hang myself, people will think that I want to flatter you Prime Minister, he is a person who is following others!"

Moss stopped moving and looked at her strangely.

Don't you just want to go along with the flow to curry favor with the prime minister? Aren't you a follower of power?
After understanding her eyes, Taohua smiled treacherously, and patted her on the shoulder kindly: "Little girl, I still have a long time to learn from your princess. If you want to survive, you have to put your heart and soul into it. Hide your things, and everything that should be done has to be done, understand?"

"...The slave girl went to find the rope."

"good."

Sitting up from the bed, Jiang Taohua immediately entered the state, ran to the dressing table, put on powder on herself, put on a miserable and haggard makeup, then took the rope Qingmoss found and hung it on the beam.

"Go stand outside and call when someone comes."

"Yes." Qingmo agreed, and gave her a worried look: "Princess, your rope..."

"Don't worry, live button." Nodding to her, Taohua stood on the stool confidently.

Nodding her head, Qingmo turned around and went out. As soon as she closed the door, she heard someone come to announce: "The Prime Minister has returned to the mansion!"

"Ah, so fast?" Startled, Qingmoss hurriedly roared into the room: "Here we come!"

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Taohua grabbed the sling, stuffed her head inside, kicked off her feet, and dangled directly on the sling like bacon.

However, after wandering back and forth three times, her face turned red, and no one came in through the door.

what's the situation?
Struggling for a while, she couldn't breathe anymore, Taohua quickly tore off the button, fell to the ground and took a deep breath.But it was so hard to die, but at this moment, there was movement outside.

The door was pushed open.

Jiang Taohua twitched her lips and looked up, staring at a man.

For some reason, although she had never seen this face before, she could intuitively guess who it was.

"Prime Minister Shen?"

The person in front of her raised her eyebrows slightly, and her facial features became clear in her eyes.His eyebrows are straight like a sword, his nose is straight like a mountain, and his pair of azure phoenix eyes are born with affection. If he hadn't been tall and straight, he would have looked like a frail scholar, but he has a strong aura. Feeling cold, feeling like being stared at by a wild animal.

It is true that he is handsome, but he is obviously not someone to provoke. Seeing him approaching, Jiang Taohua's whole body tensed up, and she subconsciously backed away.

"Last time we met in a hurry, and I didn't get to say hello properly. Now we finally meet officially." He lowered his body and approached her gently, with an unknown light in his eyes:

"Prime Minister of Great Wei Shen is in the wild and has seen the princess."

Shen Zaiye?The name is quite interesting, it is clear that it is high in the temple, but it is also called in the wild.

Taohua forced a smile: "I have met Mr. Shen, can you let me get up first?"

"Naturally." He nodded.

It's still polite, is it the same person as the beast last night?Jiang Taohua was a little suspicious.

However, after Shen Zaiye said this, he reached out and hugged her directly. With his eyes close at hand, he looked at her deeply and asked, "Did the princess just commit suicide?"

Her heart skipped a beat, Jiang Taohua turned her eyes away, it took a long time to think of what she was supposed to do, she quickly brewed up her emotions, covered her face and choked up, and said, "If things are up to now, if Taohua is going to survive, how should she face the people of the world? "

"What happened yesterday was really a misunderstanding." With a long sigh, Shen Zaye just hugged her and sat down beside the bed, and glanced at the moss sticking out his head at the door, and the latter closed the door obediently.

Eyelids drooped, Shen Zaiye frowned slightly, looking rather annoyed: "I was drinking with the wind dance with King Jing, and King Jing said that there was a beauty to present to me, so I followed Lord Jing's kindness, but didn't think about that person. Yes... alas, King Jing was severely punished by the emperor when he entered the palace last night, and gave the princess to his subordinates, I wonder if the princess can bear the humiliation for Zhao Guo and live a good life?"

What?The group of people who knocked her out were King Jing's people?Jiang Taohua frowned: "No way, how could King Jing mistakenly give me to you as a beauty? I am a princess after all."

"The princess ran away after meeting wild wolves, and lost the Fengguan Xiapei." Shen Zaiye said: "There is nothing on her body that can prove her identity, and she wanders into Hefengwu by mistake. It is normal to be caught by mistake."

That's right, when she ran away, she lost Feng Guanxia's pendant for convenience.Taohua nodded, but then thought again, no!

"How do you know that I lost Feng Guan Xia Pei?"

With a slight smile, Shen Zaiye reached out and tucked her sideburns behind her ears: "Because when the servant was looking for you, he found your Fengguan Xiapei."

Seems to be understandable, Tao Hua nodded, glanced at him, and lowered her voice: "The emperor gave me to you, what about Nan Wang?"

"Nan Wang is only sixteen years old, so there is no rush to establish a concubine." Shen Zaiye stroked her hair like a Persian cat, and his voice was extremely bewitching:
"I have already reported to the Holy Majesty that I have compensated Nanwang a lot."

In this way, everyone is happy, except for the unlucky King Jing, everyone else has their own gains.Tao Hua nodded, thought about the situation, and decisively hugged Shen Zaiye's thigh!
"From then on, the concubine will be the Xiangye's man!"

Shen Zaiye raised his eyebrows, glanced at the rope still hanging on the beam, then looked down at the two women with shining eyes at his feet, and hooked the corners of his lips with a smile: "Okay, from now on, The princess is the lady in this Xiangfu."

"Thank you...wait a minute." Feeling something was wrong, Taohua squinted her eyes: "What is a lady? If I remember correctly, the prime minister's main room should be called Madam."

"Well, it's true that the main wife is called Madam." Shen Zaiye looked at her and said, "Unfortunately, two years ago, there was already a main wife. The so-called wretched wife does not go to court. The Holy Majesty understands this very well, so I can only feel wronged." Princess, you are now a second-class lady."

Jiang Taohua: "..."

Why does she always feel that the person in front of her is a little sinister?Although it looked like a regretful expression, the tone made people listen... I wanted to go up and slap him in the face!

Lowering her eyes, she quickly analyzed the current situation.

In fact, her marrying Da Wei this time is also considered a shameless act of disobedience by Zhao's royal family.Because of the civil strife, Zhao's national strength has declined, and it is far from what it used to be. The leader of the country hopes to enhance the friendship between the two countries through the method of marriage, so as to prevent the great Wei from taking advantage of it.

The emperor of Wei obviously didn't want to buy it, but she ran thousands of miles and arrived in the capital without giving anyone a chance to refuse. In a fit of anger, the emperor pointed out to her a prince who was younger than her and was not favored.

In fact, even if Shen Zaiye didn't come out, her life might not be so easy.Now that she has the opportunity to be a second-class lady in the Xiangfu, it is actually more promising than being a concubine for the Southern King.

There is no other way to choose.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for your kindness." Taking a deep breath, Jiang Taohua stood up tactfully and saluted him.

Shen Zaiye glanced at her more, then got up and said, "Forget it, soon there will be a steward to teach the princess the rules of the Wei mansion, the princess just follow suit."

"I understand." Lowering her head to send the old man away, Taohua stood at the door, watched Shen Zaye's back leave the courtyard, and then pulled the moss into the house, and then locked the door.

"Princess?" Seeing her master's ugly face, Qingmoss was extremely curious: "What's wrong? Isn't it going well?"

Taking a deep breath, Taohua sat down on the bed, and said blankly: "We may have fallen into some kind of trap."

"Trap?" Qingmo was stunned: "Why? Isn't the current situation more beneficial to you?"

Lost Nan Wang, won the prime minister, only earn but not lose.

Shaking his head, Jiang Taohua said: "Shen Zaiye feels like a poisonous snake to me, the kind that might bite your neck at any time, he just lied, why on earth did I have skin-to-skin relationship with him, all this He seems to know all about it."

"What?!" Shocked, Qingmo quickly half-kneeled beside her, frowning at her: "How do you know?"

"Because I have a good memory." Taohua squinted her eyes: "Even if I was poisoned yesterday, I still remember what I said. At that time, I mentioned my identity in an attempt to scare him, but his first reaction was Come cover my mouth."

Even if an ordinary person hears her saying that she is the Princess of Zhao, he should take it as a joke and laugh at it; as a member of the court, he knows about the marriage, so why would he ignore it, at least he should stop and ask her who is she? What's going on, after all, it's not a small matter to violate and pro-princess.

However, Shen Zaiye didn't think about it. On the contrary, he covered her mouth as soon as he heard it, preventing her from continuing.

At that time, there were only the two of them, and the distance was so close. Shen Zaiye did not smell of alcohol, which meant that he was not drunk, so he would definitely be able to hear what she said.

Then, it can only explain one thing - the ignorance he said just now, King Jing had arrested her by mistake, is lying.Shen Zaiye knew that she was the princess of Zhao Guo early on, but even so, he forced her.

why?
