First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 103

The Queen Mother's closeness and love for Xu Danniang also made the royal princess, the princess, the county owner and others feel resentful towards Xu Danniang, but at least they will not show too much face to face these days, otherwise people will think that they are with a concubine Equal wives vying for favor?
Most people take this hatred of being robbed of their demeanor to heart.

The empresses in the harem are also dissatisfied with Danniang Xu, not because they dislike Danniang Xu's origin, but because most of them are concubines of royal princesses, and no one will not love their own daughter, who was robbed of the limelight by Danniang Xu. Can a mother see Danniang Xu pleasing to the eye?
Unknowingly, Xu Danniang concentrated the resentment of most of the women at the banquet.

Zeng Rou looked playfully at Xu Danniang who was being obedient beside the empress dowager, her hatred was well worth it, if she wanted to be a favored and dazzling woman, she had to be strong enough, did Xu Danniang have it?

Besides, the empress dowager who was regarded as the savior by Xu Danniang... may not be reliable.

That's right, the empress dowager is the most noble woman in the world, but the status of the empress dowager depends on the emperor, if the emperor's position is unstable, what is the empress dowager?
Zeng Rou had no intention of singing and dancing at the banquet, drinking frequently, Zhuge Yun, have you been killed?Why would someone write such a paper under your name?Where the hell are you...?

Thinking of Zhuge Yun whose life and death were uncertain, Zeng Rou felt deeply depressed, and even enjoying the pleasure of revenge could not dispel the melancholy in her heart.

Is their bond already this deep?

At the banquet, Yang Yi seemed quite proud among the courtiers. Zeng Rou looked at him, feeling more and more uneasy... If Zhuge Yun was defeated, would Yang Yi have done something in it?
Zhuge Yun rushed to the battlefield because of her. Without her...Zhuge Yun would not have left in such a hurry. Zeng Rou wondered if she would not be able to resist killing Yang Yi and Empress Xu Danniang if she heard the news of Zhuge Yun's death commit suicide

Zeng Rou hoped that the situation of losing her mind would not happen.

At the state banquet, if the most painful person is commented on, it must be Xu Yuanwailang.

Originally, according to his official position, he was not qualified to enter the palace to attend the state banquet, but how could the courtiers forget him? No matter how well cultivated, no matter how much I can endure what ordinary people can't bear, at this moment I feel my chest is boiling with blood...

Xu Yuanwailang could only use mouthfuls of stuffy wine to suppress the surging blood, he had to endure it!Endure until the eldest son of the emperor leads the army to kill him!

Only the eldest son of the emperor, whom he has always supported, can turn Xu Zhongxun salty fish over!
It is also thanks to Xu Zhongxun's arrangement of this dark move many years ago, otherwise he would have killed himself by wiping his neck at home.How can you be humiliated in front of everyone?
Now he is also waiting for the news of the front battlefield. He has served the emperor for more than ten years, and he has always known the emperor's thoughts. It was obtained by crying before the late emperor died.

What did the first emperor do for the country?It's all bullshit, maybe the emperor forced the first emperor to issue an imperial edict!

Because before the death of the first emperor, there were only the empress dowager and the current emperor's mother and son by his side, and the present emperor's palace was also guarded by today's people.

Although Xu Yuanwailang was ridiculed by his colleagues, he still insisted on going to the yamen every day. In addition to seeing the mansion newspaper in the yamen, he could also get news about the battlefield and the eldest son of the emperor in the northwest.

Xu Zhongxun thought the same as Zeng Rou, he understood that the Emperor was going to kill Prince Rui.

Although the recent news about Jiangnan has been well concealed, Xu Zhongxun has been an official for decades and has been a cabinet bachelor for ten years. Naturally, one can see a little bit of unusualness from it. The rebel army under the banner of the abolished prince?

This is completely unreasonable. Isn't it a peaceful and prosperous age now?
Xu Zhongxun's eyes fell on the wine glass in his hand, is it Prince Rui?If it is Prince Rui's words, then... it will also have a profound impact on Xu Zhongxun's plan!
It's all messed up, all messed up!
Xu Zhongxun showed a hint of stinginess between his brows, did Prince Rui come from this city?He was already shocked that Prince Rui was able to kill all directions on the battlefield. If the undercurrent in the south of the Yangtze River was arranged by Prince Rui... Then the eldest son of the emperor can beat Prince Rui?
Jiangnan concentrated half of the tax burden of the Sui Dynasty. If Prince Rui stole Jiangnan and ruled along the river with the Sui Dynasty, the court of the Sui Dynasty might not be able to suppress Prince Rui for a while!
Xu Zhongxun shook off the absurd thoughts in his head, how could it be possible for Prince Rui to live in Jiangnan?

What he wants to think about now is how to let the eldest son of the emperor lead the army to serve the king!

The emperor's importance to the third prince has been clearly revealed. Without him in the cabinet to help the eldest son of the emperor, I am afraid that at the beginning of next year, the imperial edict to enact the crown prince will be promulgated throughout the world. Once the crown prince is enshrined, the eldest son of the emperor will never fight again. Excuses and reasons.

If the name is not right, the words will not go well, and the third prince is not a dead man!

Xu Zhongxun felt a vague gaze, looked up but found nothing, did someone pay attention to him just now?Not contempt, not ridicule, but real inquiry?
He pursed his lips casually and self-deprecatingly. At this time, is there anyone still exploring his thoughts?

Although his hair is grayer than before, and his back is more bent than before, his handsome and elegant appearance has not changed much, but there are a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and brows, which shows his sense of vicissitudes even more.

Zeng Rou withdrew his gaze, Xu Zhongxun... is really worthy of the name of a banished immortal, even when he was down and down, Feng Yi would not change, even if he was ridiculed, but his eyes were still persistent, a thought suddenly flashed in Zeng Rou's mind, he I won't be content with that!
So should she pay attention to Xu Danniang's small movements?

The sons and daughters Xu Zhongxun loves and trusts the most are always Xu Chaoyang and Xu Danniang. Xu Chaoyang is on the battlefield ahead. Zeng Rou believes that if Zhuge Yun is not dead, he should understand how to use this impulse to pretend to be smart. What about Xu Danniang?

Was she given a special mission by Xu Zhongxun?

Zeng Rou heard Yang Yi's laughter again, he had just been rewarded by the third prince and the emperor, at this moment he was like a peacock with its tail open, flaunting, showing off, Zeng Rou clenched the wine glass in her hand, maybe everything should be in his body!
In the second half of the banquet, the emperor left first in the name of being unwell, and the person who was taken away by the emperor was Yang Yi!
In this way, whether it is Xu Danniang who pretends to be obedient in front of the queen mother, or Zeng Rou who socializes with the wives, both of them all set their eyes on Yang Yi who followed the emperor away...

As soon as their eyes met, Xu Danniang smiled proudly, and Zeng Rou raised her eyebrows. It seems that the empress dowager's attention to her gave her a lot of confidence. Since they are not willing to lose, let's see who will win the battle. Who will win!

The emperor left the banquet, and the banquet dissipated after a while. Zeng Rou got a message from Yang Yi to let her go back first. Xu Danniang took this opportunity to ask for the grace of the Empress Dowager, and was kept by her side...

"Sister, can I accompany the empress dowager?"

Xu Danniang asked timidly, "Is it okay?"

Zeng Rou rolled her eyelids, not caring whether the queen mother and wives were watching, "Aren't you talking nonsense? How dare you disobey the queen mother's order? You don't want your life, I still want to live, but the palace There are many people in the palace, and there are many masters. You should be more restrained in your actions. Don't use the charm that your mother passed on to you in the palace. I won't forgive you because of the empress dowager's kindness."

Zeng Rou helped the Empress Dowager, and said helplessly: "It's not that the minister doesn't show face to the empress, it's just that the minister really doesn't believe her. Her... biological mother is like that, which is really worrying."

The Empress Dowager's face was livid, and she wanted to get angry with Zeng Rou, but she didn't know what to say!Could it be that she climbed onto the dragon bed like that back then?
Everyone who knew how she was favored back then was silenced by her!

Wouldn't it embarrass her to dig out the old accounts again?Let the emperor lose face?
"The Ai family sees that you have a deep misunderstanding of Danniang, and it's hard for the Ai family to say anything for Daniang. Mrs. Zeng, don't forget the original intention of the Ai family to marry her to Yang Yi."

"I don't dare to forget. You want to fulfill her and Yang Shilang. In fact, the minister also wants to fulfill them. It's a pity that Yang Shilang refused to let the minister return. Why don't you make a decree? The minister can sacrifice her life to become a monk. When the time comes No one from the Yang family will bully your precious young man!"

"..."

The empress dowager was speechless by Zeng Rou, if it was normal, she would have given such an order, but this time it was no small matter, the empress dowager didn't want to cause trouble for her son, and she didn't want to be accused by the Confucian scholars of not abiding by etiquette.

Xu Danniang said: "Ma'am, my sister is such a person, she speaks too straightforwardly, don't worry about it."

"Sister, how can you say that to the Queen Mother? How dare you threaten the Queen Mother?"

Xu Danniang did not forget to dig a hole for Zeng Rou.

"Don't dare, my ministers have always been sincere, and have one thing to say, and some things to say two." Zeng Rou raised her eyes and smiled at the empress dowager: "My wife can't learn it, so she obviously thinks that way, but she just pretends to accept her fate hypocritically." Don't argue about it, Empress Dowager, you don't like hypocritical people, do you?"

"OK OK."

The queen saw that the empress dowager's face was not good-looking, so she stepped forward to smooth things over, "Mr. Zeng, the empress dowager has provoked so many words of yours with just one word. Why don't you kneel down and leave the palace?"

"According to the order."

After kowtowing politely, Zeng Rou turned and left alone.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zeng Rou under the shadow of the moon, she didn't say a word for a long time, she looked like a person... not to mention the face, but the arrogance of the body, the temperament that would rather bend than bend... like the former queen, her master!
"Forget it, Ai's family is also tired, Danniang, help Ai's family back."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

Xu Danniang supported the Empress Dowager's wrist, and followed the Empress Dowager back to the Palace of Compassion.
