The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 107 Sudden disaster under the blood-stained tree

Concubine Fu came to the Sanyuan Building in a sedan chair carried by eight people. The sedan chair was not something ordinary people could afford.Although Princess Fu is the daughter-in-law of the royal family, according to the ancestral system, she can only sit in a sedan chair carried by four people, and she cannot offend the women in the inner palace. Eight people carried it, and it was still covered with a silver roof, a yellow cover and a red curtain, so everyone would inevitably guess for a while.

"My concubine came late, and I told all the wives to wait, but I am not mine!" Princess Fu raised her hand and put it on the wrist of the big maid Cui'er with a smile: "Sister Cheng, please don't pick on your elder sister! Li, I wanted to come earlier, but as soon as I left the house, the father-in-law from the Queen Mother came to tell me that the ancestor missed his grandson and wanted to invite us Mu'er to talk. This delay will not be until noon! "

Mrs. Cheng led Princess Fu upstairs, saw the old lady of the Cheng family, and placed Princess Fu in the seat reserved earlier in the morning.

Concubine Fu was wearing a vermilion gown with dark gold flowers, a gold silk peony hairpin on her head, and an emerald [-]-zi bracelet on her hand.Mrs. Cheng ordered the maids to change the banquet, and introduced her natal sister to Lu and her two daughters with Princess Fu.

Princess Fu turned a blind eye to Xing Xiuyan and Lin Daiyu, she just pulled Xiaodie to praise her: "Sister Cheng, you are wrong, you have such a beautiful little daughter at home, why didn't you bring it out earlier for us to see?" The concubine withdrew the eighteen-zig bracelet from her hand, not allowing Xiaodie to distinguish it, and put it on the little girl's wrist directly, and sighed: "I saw the third princess and the ninth princess at the queen mother today, ouch, two highnesses It's so pitiful, it's as thin as a kitten, and it looks like it's going to fall when the wind blows. It was the empress dowager who took pity on the two of them, and ordered the guard to send the money over."

Concubine Fu seemed to be chatting, but everyone dared not answer.Even an outspoken person like Princess Zhongshun understands that Princess Fu is ridiculing the queen's inaction and treating a concubine who is not her own harshly.

The enmity between Concubine Fu and Empress originated more than ten years ago. At that time, the two of them participated in the selection of the concubine. Although Mu Zong was not the heir apparent at that time, he was the most suitable age among the princes. On the other hand, King Fu was still young.Concubine Fu was looking forward to marrying Mu Zong, but the night before the selection, she ate a bowl of tea from her good sister, and she had diarrhea that night.

This incident seemed to have nothing to do with the Queen, but the Queen Mother still found out the clues, and told Princess Fu bluntly, and the knot between the two was formed.A few years ago, the empress had always had the upper hand, but in the past two or three years, the empress doted on Concubine Fu's son Li Mu, and the empress's fourth prince, Li Yun, was weak and sick, and Concubine Fu gradually showed signs of coming to the fore.

Seeing the uneasiness on everyone's faces, Princess Fu sneered in her heart. A group of cowards, wait until the day her son ascends the throne to see if they dare to treat her like this.

Concubine Fu thought clearly, instead of asking her mother's family to help her husband win the throne, she might even take advantage of that vixen in the future, so the important thing is to let her son win the throne as soon as possible while the emperor and queen mother are still healthy.Concubine Fu suddenly remembered what the queen mother told her in the palace just now, and she couldn't help casting her suspicious eyes in the corner.

Could it be that their family really adopted the emperor's illegitimate son?
Concubine Fu thought of the intention of the queen mother to ask her to go today. The queen mother's meaning was very simple, she must get rid of that evil obstacle before the emperor opened her mouth. After all, if Xiaozong had an extra son, Muer would have an enemy.

Mrs. Cheng is the master. If others don't agree with Princess Fu, she can't. The Cheng family is loyal to the emperor and will respect Xiaozong's son in the future. Naturally, she will not agree with Princess Fu's words. Madam Cheng smiled and said: "Third Princess I went through a lot of dangers when I was born. The ninth princess is better, but the biological mother is not favored. The emperor rarely sees her once a year. I heard that the queen empress often sends people to give food and clothing, and she is not wronged. Pass them. How do you listen to the meaning of the princess, the queen mother intends to teach the two princesses personally? If this is the case, this is the blessing of the two highnesses!"

Princess Fu snorted coldly: "The queen mother has only had a few days of leisure? Come on, leave this kind of work to the queen mother! She is the virtuous queen in the inner palace, haven't you heard? Even Your majesty's love affair many years ago, our empress should also help cover it up!"

Mrs. Song said displeased: "Concubine Fu, what you said is a little too much. The emperor is a generation of sages. If you are romantic or not, be careful to be heard by the censors, and you will be accused of lax family management by Prince Fu."

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Mrs. Xu hurried out to persuade her. The old aunt of Mrs. Xu's husband's family was a concubine in the palace. Chamber fights.Until now, the Supreme Emperor is more willing to stay in Concubine Xu's bedroom than to live with the Empress Dowager.

If Concubine Xu had no son, where would it be Xiaozong's turn to be emperor?
As soon as she came forward, even Princess Fu would have to show some face.

Mrs. Xu pressed Concubine Fu, and said in a low voice: "Calm down, Mrs. Song is right? You criticize the emperor for no reason. Even if you have the queen mother as a guarantor, you will be punished for treason. Furthermore Speaking of which, which man in the world is not romantic? Even when Fu Wang was young, he was also entangled with the palace people? If you hold on to this yelling, be careful that Mrs. Song will embarrass you. "

Mrs. Xu's words are exactly the hatred in Princess Fu's heart.The seven or eight concubines in the palace were all born as maids. The older ones were the concubines that King Fu had taken in when he was still the prince in the palace, and the younger ones were the ones that King Fu took home every time he entered the palace to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor. Victory item.

Concubine Fu was often angry with her husband because of this, but King Fu was not taught repeatedly, so Princess Fu became the object of ridicule by wives.

There was a mess upstairs, and Mrs. Cheng secretly nodded at her sister.Miss Xiaodie understood, she quietly pulled Xiuyan and Daiyu out of the side door and went downstairs.Outside the Chuihua Gate, there was a boy who had been poking his head inside. Seeing Miss Xiaodie going downstairs, he hurriedly ran over with a smile: "Girl, our young master is waiting for you in Manhuayuan!"

Xiaodie blushed, looked at Xiuyan and Daiyu first, and then spat: "What nonsense are you talking about, the second master is studying in the study, why would he come to the inner house?"

The young man didn't look at Xing and Lin, and said anxiously: "Oh, miss, this servant is not lying at all. The second master wrote a good article, and asked the girl to come and comment on it. What's wrong with our young master's temper?" I know, except for you, he doesn't believe anyone else's words at all!"

Xiaodie turned her head in question: "Two sisters."

Xiuyan hurriedly laughed and said, "Sister, she's gone, we're just sitting here under the tree and waiting for you!"

Xiaodie smiled gratefully. She was worried that Xing and Lin would go back and forth. The ladies upstairs asked the two suspiciously. At that time, the private meeting with her fiancé would be exposed, even if it was nothing, it would be said to be something.Now that Xing Xiuyan is so reasonable, how can Xiaodie not like it?
As soon as the people left, Daiyu sat down under a big pagoda tree to enjoy the shade, dragging Xiuyan listlessly, and said sullenly: "I knew it would be so boring, I would rather be at home tending flowers and plants for my sister."

Xiuyan took out her handkerchief to wipe Daiyu's sweat, "Wouldn't it be interesting to see them bickering?"

"I don't understand what they're yelling about, but that Concubine Fu is not easy to get along with at first glance, and" Daiyu looked at the elder sister hesitantly: "And she doesn't like us two very much."

I have to say that Daiyu's self-esteem was still hurt.

Xiuyan couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that the two of us are ginseng fruit? If everyone likes it, you will be troubled! Besides, let me see, these people who came today, including the master's family, will Even the princess is not proud of her. Don't look at her being kind to Miss Xiaodie, but the disgust in her eyes can't be concealed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiuyan felt a pain in the back of her head, and yelled "Ouch", Daiyu hurriedly went to look, and saw her sister's head was hit by something, and she felt blood on her hands.

Daiyu was anxious and angry, and she followed the back to look around, and at some point behind the tree stood a little boy about nine years old, with a puffy face, holding a small stone in his hand, who was about to hit her Throw in the direction of the person.

Daiyu lifted her skirt, strode over, and knocked off the boy's hand with a wave: "You are so young, why are you so vicious, whose child are you from, go, come with me to see your wife."

Daiyu's hands were already stained with Xiuyan's blood, and the little boy backed away in disgust: "Slave, you dare to touch my son? Be careful, I will grab your head off."

Daiyu was startled, and then carefully looked at the boy's clothes, dark green auspicious clothes, a gold unicorn auspicious lock on the neck, a jade belt around the waist, and seven or eight heavy purses.But it is not an ordinary person's attire.

Xiuyan's blood flowed more and more, and dyed the collar along the neck.Daiyu also ignored this little bastard who claimed to be the son of the world, and hurriedly supported Xiuyan to go upstairs.

Unexpectedly, the other party quickly stopped in front of her: "Dog servant girl, you dare to slander my mother, how can this son be merciless? Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake!"

Xiuyan sneered: So the rumors are nothing more than that.

There was a woman who was ordered to serve at the gate of the Sanyuan building. Seeing the noise here, she hurried over to check.This was a big surprise, seeing the wife's guest, the Xing family girl's face was covered with blood, she screamed in fright, and immediately attracted more people.

When Mrs. Lu arrived with Mrs. Cheng, seeing her daughter's miserable condition, she became dizzy and passed away immediately.

Cheng's house was in chaos, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Xu hurriedly asked someone to carry Mrs. Lu into the house to rest, Princess Beijing and Princess Zhongshun guarded Xiuyan and Daiyu, those who asked for a doctor invited a doctor, those who took medicine took medicine Well, it's a good feast, and now the chickens are flying around.

Concubine Fu quietly pulled her son to stand under the tree, and asked the people in the palace to surround the surroundings, and no one was allowed to approach.

"Is it your fault?"

Li Mu threw off his mother's restraint impatiently, Princess Fu said angrily: "You, you child, why can't you let me worry for a moment? Your grandfather."

Princess Fu suppressed her sharp voice: "Does it have to be ruined for the reputation that your grandfather built up for you so easily?"
