daughter in power

Chapter 145

She didn't know how to answer, and fell into silence for a while.

He hugged her firmly in front of his chest, let her half kneel in his arms, looked up at her dotingly: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Although Yangxi Palace is not as festive as this place, it is still a palace after all, even if it is simple, it will not be simple, let alone shabby.

He slept peacefully with her in his arms last night, why didn't she sleep well?

"But confession?" He asked again.

She lowered her head and found that his eyes were overflowing with tenderness, as if they could melt water.

With such a warm and loving husband, I really shouldn't complain anymore.

No matter what you say, there is suspicion of hypocrisy.

She didn't want to be so hypocritical: "I just want to ask you if you slept well last night."

She couldn't help herself.

He raised his eyebrows: "You have something to hide from me."

She avoided his eyes: "No..."

He looked at her small face hesitantly for a long while, then suddenly picked her up and sat down on the bed.

On the big red bed, layers of gauze curtains are hung by jade hooks, showing a sweet, warm and festive atmosphere.

The bed is covered with a bright red sheet, a bright red silk quilt, and sprinkled with red peanuts, red walnuts, and red dates...the meaning is harmony and beauty, and a precious child will be born early.

Her heart tightened, she shrank her head, not daring to look into his eyes.

He sat her on his lap and began to kiss her lips little by little.

The warm and cold touch made her feel unreal.

She was flustered and hurriedly avoided his lips.

He wanted to get closer, but she stretched out her hand to cover his mouth, lowering her head and refusing.

Said she was shy, but not at all.

To say she refused is not entirely true.

With a flash of his eyes, he carefully kissed the palm of her hand, which made her take it away quickly.

He smiled: "The dragon and phoenix candles will burn for three days and three nights, and it will be the same in our bridal chamber tonight. As long as you are obedient, I'm not in a hurry."

She raised her eyes and blushed with shame: "I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

He asked curiously and patiently.

"I..." Her face changed again and again, and she swallowed the words again.

Her eyes flickered, she pushed his hands away, jumped off his lap, and stood far away: "There are so many things in the palace, why don't you deal with them? Could it be that after getting married, you start to do nothing?"

He jawed and looked at her with a strange expression.

She feigned composure.

He stood up and bowed to her solemnly: "I obey, my wife."

This appellation sounds familiar, and it refers to herself.

She blinked, wanted to laugh but didn't want to, and let out a "hmm".

He curled his lips into a smile, and looked at her dotingly: "You rest in the mansion first, let the husband come to accompany you in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and come back to find you for dinner after the husband finishes his official duties?"

She looked at his charming face and nodded.

With brisk steps, he lifted the bright red gauze curtain that entered again and again, and walked out of the bedroom.

After a while, several people from Chun Xia Qiu Dong entered the door, stood outside the gauze curtain, and asked her with a smile: "Princess, what do you want for lunch, I will go to the kitchen to prepare it?"

Only then did she know that she was brought into the palace by him, her dowry caravan went straight into the palace, and the maids were also placed in the palace.

Everything has been arranged long ago, just waiting for the arrival of her mistress.

She sat on the bed, not knowing what to answer.

Chunxiaqiudong entered the door, and when she saw her appearance, she hurriedly fetched jewelry and clothes to change for her.

Chunlan said: "Did you suffer in the palace? Why did you come back wearing the clothes of Gong'e?"

Xia He shook off the gauze skirt and put it on for her, and combed her hair with a comb, with a worried expression on her face.

Several servant girls served her skillfully, she sighed slightly, and said with a smile: "With the prince here, how have you ever suffered. Go, go out and have a look."

When she went out, maids and servants stood all over the garden, waiting for her.

She was a little stunned. Under the steps, a middle-aged man in his forties held a booklet and said respectfully: "Princess Qi, this is the list of servants in the mansion. Please have a look."

She blinked, and saw that the man was steady and old, speaking slowly, without any cunning.

Can't help asking: "Are you the steward of the palace?"

The man lowered his head: "If you go back to the princess, that's right."

The stewards of Prince Xiaoyang's mansion have at least two brushes.

She nodded, Chunlan took a step forward, took the booklet in her hand, and handed it to her.

The booklet is not too thick, and it contains the brief introductions of the servants in the mansion.

She took the brochure, looked at the steward, and said, "What's your surname?"

"Don't dare to trust, the villain's name is Zhou Yongshou, you can call the villain Lao Zhou." The steward's attitude is respectful and amiable.

Qiqi smiled: "Hello, Manager Zhou."

Zhou Guanshi was stunned for a while, not daring to say more.

She glanced at the servant girls and servants standing under the steps, and frowned: "Is the palace very big? There are so many people there?"

No one answered her.

The people below did not dare to say a word.

Guanshi Zhou bowed and said, "Wang's mansion covers an area of ​​about one hundred mu, which is actually not that big. However, in our mansion, people are always better at employing people."

She nodded, put the booklet in her hand, looked around the scenery outside the main courtyard, and said indifferently: "Why don't you see the two side concubines?"

It is obvious that the air has changed.

It seemed that the temperature dropped ten degrees.

All around is the illusion of coldness.

Zhou Guanshi's face changed, and he said honestly: "You two concubines, I don't know that you have come back, so..."

"This concubine is not a servant, do I still need to come to greet you? Which onion are you?"

Behind the flowers and trees, a person turned out from the narrow boulevard with disdain and contempt on his face.

She has slender hands, and she is shaking a round fan with the pattern of peony blossoms.

Behind him, there were four or five servants with sharp eyebrows.

The four eyes met, Qiqi recognized Lan Murong at a glance.

Lan Murong was still the same as before, domineering, sharp-tongued, domineering.

It seemed that in this world, there was no one she liked.

There was silence in the courtyard, and the servants were fearful and lowered their heads even more.

Several people's bodies tensed up instantly, and it was obvious that they were extremely afraid of Lan Murong.

Qiqi made no sound.

Several people in Chunxiaqiudong subconsciously surrounded Qiqi, fearing that their master would be offended.

"Tch..." Lan Murong sneered, slowly waving the round fan, and raised her voice: "Sure enough, they are some good dogs, and they know how to protect the master."

She swaggered forward, stood at the bottom of the steps and looked at Qiqi, raised her jaw, and said a few words coldly: "I really don't know, what are you doing standing here? Are you married to the prince? Did you pay homage? Entered the bridal chamber?"

She fanned the round fan with disgust on her face: "It's really a trick to have a relationship with the prince before we get married, and to be popular."

Qiqi's face was cold, Chunlan scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? The princess is the wife of the prince Mingmei, how can you, a side concubine, slander you, and still keep your mouth shut."

The four servant girls were handpicked by King Xiaoyang.

I usually only know that they are very good at serving people, but they don't know that they don't flinch at all in the face of powerful enemies.

Lan Murong's face turned red, her greased lips parted suddenly, and she shouted loudly, "You little bitch, what are you talking about?"

The servant girl standing behind her immediately admonished: "Where is that wild girl who dares to disobey Empress Lan, are you courting death?"

While talking, several maidservants rushed up the steps, ready to attack Chunlan.

The maids were about to wrestle together, Qiqi's eyes flashed, and she said coldly: "Presumptuous!"

When the sound came out, everyone in the garden was shocked, and Zhou Guanshi raised his head and looked over.

She glanced over coldly, and he lowered his head.

"What did you say?" Lan Murong refused to give in, her eyebrows twisted into Sichuan characters.

Qiqi smiled indifferently, Yun Danfeng gently withdrew her smile, and looked at Lan Murong with contempt: "I said, you are presumptuous."

"You..." Lan Murong put away her fan, her whole face was full of anger.

Probably, he just rushed up and slapped Qiqi twice.

Qiqi still curled the corners of her lips, and spoke slowly: "My lord and I were unable to go to the hall, but because the father was seriously ill and delayed the trip. My name was clearly written in the Taimiao genealogy book, but I don't know where your name is?"

The Taimiao symbolizes the place of the highest power center in the whole Great Xia.

An important place of the royal family with a mysterious color.

How can ordinary people get in?

None of the side concubines of the princes of the various families can be included in the genealogy, let alone set foot in the Taimiao.

Even though the favorite concubine of Emperor Wuwei, a concubine of the second rank like Su Xinhe, is not qualified to add a name.

Not to mention Lan Murong.

Lan Murong's complexion changed drastically, as if she was grabbing her sore foot, she yelled, "Jiang Qiqi, a cook who cooks for others, what right do you have to humiliate my concubine? Come on, give me Capture her, and this concubine will beat her severely!"

She yelled and yelled, without any demeanor of a side concubine at all.

Probably, after all, a prostitute was born, and he lost some confidence deep in his heart.

This confidence is necessary for a country's prince and side concubine.

Guanshi Zhou couldn't bear to watch anymore, he could only raise his head: "Princess, look at this..."

"Zhou Yongshou, who is your name?!" Lan Murong pointed at Manager Zhou from a distance, her beautiful eyes were extremely sharp.

Zhou Guanshi was startled, and his back dropped by half: "Small...Small..."

Qiqi's eyes flickered, looking at Lan Murong who was making a fuss in the crowd, it was like looking at a chicken, standing in a flock of cranes.

She turned her face away, and said sharply: "Lan Murong, who gave you the courage to let you act recklessly in the palace!"

Her voice wasn't too loud, but she had a compelling aura.

The maids and women were silent, Lan Murong blinked and became angry.

Qiqi straightened her waist, and reprimanded coldly: "Slap me! In the past, there was no mistress in this palace, so it was fine to let her make trouble. Now, whoever dares to domineeringly under my nose, I will be the first to be merciless." .”

In the huge Xiaoyang Palace, probably no one has ever disrespected Lan Murong.

The word "palm mouth" blurted out, all the maids and servants in the garden turned pale with shock, they all looked up at Qiqi.

Even Zhou Guanshi turned pale.

Dongmei stood up abruptly, walked up to Lan Murong in a few steps, and slapped her with a raised hand.

"Snapped."

The applause was crisp and clear, with a hint of sweetness.

Man Yuan suddenly held his breath, as if the slap was not on Lan Murong's face, but on the faces of all the servants of the palace.

Immediately, everyone's spine felt cold, and they did not dare to make mistakes.

Lan Murong's servants all opened their mouths wide open, and they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

Even she herself was surprised, staring at Dongmei blankly.

Dongmei was quite tall and looked at her coldly.

The four eyes met, and another slap sounded.

Lan Murong was completely shocked.

Dongmei withdrew her right hand coldly, expressionless.

Lan Murong covered half of her face, and didn't look at Dongmei, but mechanically turned her head to look at Qiqi, and said in astonishment: "How dare you ask someone to beat this concubine?"

Shino was silent, her voice trembling unbelievably.

Qiqi didn't answer her.

In the next second, she jumped up with a thump, rushed to the steps, and screamed: "I killed you shameless coquettish vixen, how dare you seduce the prince...you hit me...I have never been raped in this life..." Someone beat you, what kind of chamber pot are you..."

What she said later was unbearable, but she didn't stop scolding, let alone soft-spoken.

It seems that when swearing at people normally, dirty words have already been trembling a lot.

Qiqi looked at her coldly.

She was fast, unbelievably fast.The appearance of agility is not comparable to that of her maid.

In just two or three steps, she ran up the steps and came in front of Qiqi.

Her fingers are bright red, and her nails painted with Kodan are long and hard, and just one scratch can ruin Qiqi's face.

"Princess, be careful..." Chun Xiaqiu Dong and the others were shocked and rushed to protect them.

"Oh, princess, be careful with her nails..." Under the steps, a servant girl who understood the situation reminded her.

Manager Zhou was in a hurry and flustered, and finally freed a hand, but he couldn't react, he didn't know who to help.

The battle between women has always been tragic.

No matter who you help, the other will definitely be disabled.
