Xiao Chong: The Abandoned Concubine Shocks the World

Chapter 66 Thorn in the Heart
Lindu, the palace of the eldest princess.

Princess Ning wore a Taoist robe, combed a Taoist bun, held Buddha dust in her hand, and chanted scriptures with her eyes closed.Since she invited herself to become a monk, she had to recite scriptures for an hour every day, and she did so every day without interruption.

Today, the upper circles in Lindu all know her pious attitude and are quite impressed.

After reading the scriptures, Princess Ning opened her eyes, bowed three times to the statue of Sanqing, and then helped the maid to stand up from the futon.

After completing the homework of cultivating Taoism today, she left this simple scripture hall and returned to her dormitory.

"Princess, why do you have to suffer so much in our own mansion." Princess Ning's wet nurse greeted her with a distressed expression, and tried to persuade her again.

"Mommy, one must look like one in cultivating Taoism." Princess Ning stroked the folds of her Taoist robe, her voice was cold, "If it is heard by the Empress Dowager, she will feel more at ease."

"The old slave just loves the princess."

Princess Ningguo smiled at her, "In those years in Xiqiang, what kind of hardships did you not suffer, what is this?"

"Mommy, the person who delivered the decree this time should have arrived in Liangzhou."

The old mammy shook her fingers and nodded, "It should be here. It's just that the princess doesn't let people take a few words."

"I have a reason."

The two were talking, when the maid outside the door reported: "Your Highness, the palace has sent a car, and the emperor sent someone to take you into the palace."

Princess Ningguo nodded, took out a mirror to take a look, wiped the lip gloss on her lips, and pulled out the delicate hair from her hair.After confirming that he was dressed in simplicity, he followed the visitor into the palace.

"Emperor Sister." These days, Princess Ning often sends some exquisite gadgets that children like through Taifu. After all, the little emperor is still a child, so he naturally likes it when he sees it.

Unlike the queen mother, this imperial sister is knowledgeable and gentle, and the little emperor admires her very much, so he ran out of the palace to pick her up in person.

"Huayang has met His Majesty, Your Majesty is safe."

Princess Ning's Taoist name Huayang was bestowed by the Empress Dowager herself. Every time she enters the palace, she calls herself the Taoist title.

"Miss Huang, come with me."

In the eyes of the little emperor, it doesn't make any difference whether this sister is Princess Ning or Daoist Huayang, they are all sisters who love him anyway.

The little emperor was in good health and ran fast. Princess Ning followed him to the place, panting from exhaustion.

"Sister Huang, look, this is a good horse from Dawan sent by Beijiang." The little emperor pointed to a pony as a treasure.

There is almost no man who does not love horses, especially the royal family of the Liang Dynasty. Before moving south, when they were in the capital city of Chang'an, one of their favorite sports was playing polo.

After being forced to move to Lindu, there were few horses in the south, and good horses were even more difficult to find.Moreover, the little emperor was only eight years old, and the empress dowager looked at him like an eyeball. The civil servants headed by the Taifu also valued his cultural studies more.As for the art of archery and horse warfare, I don't care much.

So, the little emperor has grown so big, this little pony is still the first horse he owns.It was only then that Princess Ning was excitedly announced to present the treasure.

"It's so beautiful." Princess Ning praised it, and then asked: "I wonder which minister presented this?"

The little emperor touched the pony excitedly, and replied casually: "It was sent by the Jiedu envoy of Jizhou."

Her beautiful eyes flickered for a moment. Princess Ningguo seemed to be practicing Taoism peacefully every day, but she secretly followed the military reports. Jizhou was surrounded by Jizhou on three sides, and only one side faced the sea, so she struggled to survive under the iron heel of Jizhou.

Under such circumstances, the Jizhou Jiedu envoy trembled, fearing that one day, the iron hooves of the Jizhou army would break through the gate of his own city.

The current Jizhou Jiedu is old and frail, and only wants to protect himself. How could he suddenly offer horses to the emperor?
"By the way, Miss Huang, the Jiedu envoy of Jizhou also submitted a booklet, asking for his second son to marry the second daughter of Prince Zheng's mansion, and begging me to marry him."

With the help of his servants, the little emperor got on the horse, his face became more and more excited, and suddenly he thought of another note from the horse presenter.

"Second daughter of Prince Zheng's Mansion?" Princess Ning asked casually, "Has His Majesty approved it?"

"I think the two families are well-matched, which is a matter of an imperial decree. However, there are objections from the ministers in the court. King Zheng has food but no soldiers, and Jizhou is trapped on three sides in Jizhou. I am afraid that the two families will marry. The strength of the state's army will increase." The little emperor made sense, so he pressed down.

"Sister Huang is a woman who doesn't understand political affairs. I just ask about this matter. How to deal with it is up to Your Majesty and the ministers." Princess Ning smiled, stopped talking about these political affairs, and concentrated on playing with the little emperor.

Until the little emperor got tired of playing and reluctantly let her out of the palace, Princess Ning sat in the carriage with her forehead in thought, and sent someone to the Taifu's mansion.

She wants to make this marriage happen.

The second daughter of Prince Zheng's House, if she remembers correctly, the woman who is accompanying Brother Han now is the eldest daughter of Prince Zheng's House.

However, they are also Prince Zheng's daughters, the treatment of the two is very different, one is favored like a jewel in the palm of the hand, but the other is treated in the cold.And once the despised person climbed to the top, he couldn't wait to get revenge and go back. Zheng Wang's birthday banquet was ruined by his own daughter, and the song "Little Cabbage" spread all over the country.Zheng Wang and his wife's reputation as cruel father and mother is also well known in the world.

Right now, the eldest daughter who is tearing her face is proud of herself, and King Zheng's parents are afraid and uneasy for some reason.

And she originally thought that she was a good, obedient and virtuous woman, but how could she be an obedient and obedient person even when she was so cruel to her parents?
And the imperial edict that bestowed the imperial edict on the third rank, although all the people who delivered the edict died of bandits, became a piece of waste paper.

But this still pierced a poisonous thorn in her heart, making her fearful all the time and having trouble sleeping and eating.

She didn't care that Brother Han was served by his side. He was in his prime, so someone had to relieve him.As long as the person in his heart is always himself.

If someone has a lack of heart, Princess Ningguo closed her eyes. She has lost so much, and this is the only thing that keeps her alive. She will never allow others to covet her.

Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness is well, the son has always been concerned about it"

Last night, Yao Tong didn't sleep well and his eyes were blurry after staying up late last night to make a map. This day at noon, he came to the garden to look at the green leaves and tender flowers, and his eyes felt better.

As soon as the warm autumn sun shines, sleepiness rises, so I sit on the porch chair in the pavilion and take a nap.The maid who followed was afraid that she would catch cold, so she ran back to get the cloak.

The surrounding area was quiet, and Yao Tong fell asleep unconsciously.

She didn't get up immediately until a buzzing sound came from her ear, waking her up, her body was a little limp.When she heard the words "Princess" and "Shizi", she couldn't go out immediately.

She didn't listen to all the previous words, but she just heard that the son was worried, so she couldn't help but sat up straight and listened attentively.

"Everyone in the world knows the heart of the son of the world, but we have no luck for our princess."
