Lady Zhao

Chapter 116

Prince Pingnan snorted in his heart, looked at the girl kneeling on the ground and sneered secretly, how could he like this kind of stuff, it's a pity... Yesterday he drank a little more wine in a moment of excitement, and he thought she was in a trance. Zhao Wenwan "loves".I didn't want to do this at first, but seeing that Zhao Wenwan and Gu Jingxing were going to make a couple, the desire to get Zhao Wenwan intensified in my heart, until Zhao Wenxi quietly approached me, and I thought it was a foolproof plan...

When things came to light, instead of getting Zhao Wenwan, she got into Zhao Wenxuan, a concubine, which was bad luck.However, it was only when he was invited to the palace early in the morning that he realized that he wanted to plot against others, but in the end he was plotted against by others.Of course, Zhao Wenxi was the stupidest one. If she knew that her so-called seamless clothes were an illusion created by others, why would she be in this muddy water.

Thinking of the man who put eyeliner around him, his every move was under the surveillance of others without self-observation, it was kidnapping and love potion, if he really met Zhao Wenwan, he would not know how he died.Thinking of this, Prince Pingnan couldn't help shivering, recalling the cold eyes that the man glanced at him, as if he was a corpse, if it wasn't for the fact that he still has something to use, it would be hard to guarantee...

So when he heard Zhao Wenxuan's accusation, based on Prince Pingnan's previous temper, he probably would have reprimanded him a long time ago, but at this time he could only listen to it without saying a word.

When Zhao Wenwan heard about her, she walked out smoothly and came to her grandmother, with grievances in her black eyes, "What...what's going on here?"

Mrs. Zhao frowned deeply, and leaned forward, as if she didn't understand, she couldn't help asking again, "You...you mean kidnapping? Who wants to kidnap you?"

Zhao Wenxuan was crying sobbingly, accusing Pingnan Wang Shizi angrily, "The person they wanted to kidnap was Sister Wan, but the granddaughter was just used as a scapegoat, probably because she was misunderstood by the maid who led the way as Sister Wan , On the road, she was covered with a sack and tied to the room, otherwise, how could the granddaughter go to the son's room for no reason, grandmother, you have to make decisions for the granddaughter, how can the granddaughter marry into the prince's mansion like this."

Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath, her eyes turned cold, "What's going on, my son will tell you."

Prince Pingnan pondered for a while, and said sincerely, "Miss San is right."

Zhao Wenxuan wiped her tears and took a sneak look at Shizi, with surprise in her eyes. She listened to Zhao Wenwan's order and said so, but she didn't expect Shizi to not refute at all. What happened was not what she said, she didn't know Prince Pingnan's eldest son, Gourd Lidao, knows what kind of medicine he sells, but as long as he doesn't marry such a weird person, he can do anything.

"It was Xiao Wang who was confused for a while. After being reprimanded by his father, Xiao Wang had already had a deep introspection, so he came to the door in person to admit his mistakes to Miss San and proposed marriage."
Zhao Wenwan said, "Stupid? Are you stupid enough to think of such a nasty thing, invite my sisters from the Zhao family, but want to kidnap me in the mansion?"

King Pingnan was completely speechless, thought carefully, and said earnestly: "Xiao Wang originally wanted to make a big event into a small one, but this matter really has nothing to do with Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang was fascinated by ghosts for a while and was bewitched by others."

Zhao Wenwan sneered, and asked, "Which bewitches?"

Prince Pingnan paused, looked at the person he admired in front of him, and said without hesitation. "It's the second lady of the mansion."

Mrs. Zhao was surprised when she heard the words, and then contacted the reason, her heart ached and her consciousness became clear.

Zhao Wenwan immediately retorted, "Without evidence, you can do whatever you want."

"Unfortunately, Xiao Wang brought letters with Zhao Wenxi today." Prince Pingnan took out a few letters from his body. Coincidentally, he wanted to destroy them, but at the end, he accidentally wanted to keep them as a copy. The commemoration is probably caused by the desire to preserve everything related to Zhao Wenwan, and it is also because of these letters that the man did not kill him. You can tell just by looking at it, and you can also call the second young lady to confront me."

Mrs. Zhao asked someone to submit the letter. Every single word on the letter paper revealed her jealousy towards Zhao Wenwan. It recorded in detail how the two conspired together. If there hadn't been a mistake, what would have happened to her girl Wan... ...The old lady's hands were trembling uncontrollably, "Go... go and call Second Miss over here."

Zhao Wenxi was invited here in a short while, and the first thing she entered was the letter paper in the old lady's hand, with a familiar fragrance, her face suddenly changed, and with Zhao Wenwan's vowed words that day, she knew it when she was under house arrest. I lost, and I lost hard.

"Zhao Wenxi, I have no grievances with you, why did you hurt me like this!" Zhao Wenxuan realized that she had really become a scapegoat after hearing the incident. For Zhao Wenxi, who planned all this, when he saw someone appearing, he rushed to tear him up.

Caught off guard, Zhao Wenxi was scratched by Zhao Wenxuan with a few bloodstains, so he could barely hide, not daring to fight the crazy Zhao Wenxuan.When Mrs. Zhao scolded people to pull her away, she hurriedly knelt down in front of her grandmother and confessed, "Grandma, Wenxi was wrong, Wenxi really knew it was wrong, I...I like the sixth prince so much, and when I saw When I fell in love with my sister's eldest son, I felt a little bit of sympathy, so... I was confused for a while, grandma, Wenxi regretted it a long time ago, but... But there was no time."

"If you like it, you can hurt others by any means?" Zhao Wenwan said coldly, his eyes were cold.

Zhao Wenxuan was suppressed by her mother-in-law, and Zhao Wenxi, who was kneeling on the ground with scarlet eyes and trying to get rid of the crime, spat and punctured, "Such a well-planned harming plan, you still have the face to say that you Kindness, Sister Wan is loved by the Sixth Prince, but you can't get it if you ask for it, I'm afraid you won't be willing to kill Sister Wan."

The old lady's eyes darkened when she heard the words. When she realized it, she thought about finding a suitable marriage for Wenxi, which was what she shouldn't have thought, but she didn't expect her to be so impatient... Extremely disappointed, "The old lady never thought you would do such a thing...you...you are worthy of the ancestors of the Zhao family, your parents!"

Thinking of all the previous things, he finally believed what Yang's mother said before, and in a fit of anger, he only asked Zhao Wenxi to kneel here to reflect, and no matter how hard the latter begged, he ignored it.

Zhao Wenxuan wanted to open her mouth to ask about her marriage, but seeing that her grandmother was being helped to leave in a state of distress, she had to pause first, stand up and leave by herself.

Zhao Wenwan slowly approached Zhao Wenxi who was kneeling on the ground step by step, and the corner of his mouth lightly hooked, "It's time for you to pay off the debt."

The tearful Zhao Wenxi vaguely watched Zhao Wenwan leave, bit his lower lip hard with his white teeth, until a bloody smell permeated, as if he didn't feel pain, he wiped the side of his mouth, eyes full of hatred.

Afterwards, Zhao Wenxi knelt in the hall all night, couldn't bear it, and fainted on the ground. Mrs. Zhao heard that someone carried her back to the Jinglian Garden. Going to see it, it is obviously disheartened.

After the next Lantern Festival, Zhao Wenxuan's marriage was still settled. The Eldest Princess came to the mansion to propose a marriage in person. It is said that the girl's family must be responsible for her innocence. Most of the reasons are to silence Zhao Wenxuan. She kept the prince's habit secret, if it spread, there would be no good girls willing to marry, so regardless of whether the prince wanted it or not, this time the eldest princess was determined to let him accept Zhao Wenxuan as the side concubine, and the main concubine Well, naturally she has to choose the one she likes.

As for Zhao Wenxuan's wishes, the eldest princess would not care, if she is not obedient, she has plenty of ways to make people honest.

Because Zhao Wenxuan's eldest sister was not married, the wedding date was temporarily postponed until the beginning of next spring to discuss. Zhao Wenxuan hoped that Zhao Wenwan would marry later, but in the end she couldn't do so. As soon as August passed, Emperor Liang issued an imperial decree to marry Gu Jingxing With Dingguo Gong's eldest daughter Zhao Wenwan.

Everyone in the streets and alleys said that Dingguo's mansion is very lucky. The eldest son became a concubine, and his official fortune is still prosperous; while the eldest daughter, Zhao Wenwan, asked the sixth prince Gu Jingxing to pursue marriage regardless of the system, and even voluntarily swore a poisonous oath never to accept a concubine. Girls from many aristocratic families beat their chests and stomped their feet, secretly envious of Zhao Wenwan's good life.

As the person involved, Zhao Wenwan was still annoyed that Gu Jingxing asked for a marriage by imperial decree without asking himself, but when the rumors spread, the fire was extinguished immediately, knowing that the person used this method to make amends to himself, and it was also It is a guarantee, and my heart is not without emotion.This oath can be said in private, but she knows the reason for Gu Jingxing's act of announcing it to the world. She can't bear to share her feelings with others, and Gu Jingxing's identity is...

Facing the Linghua Mirror, Zhao Wenwan curled the corners of his mouth, he didn't say anything, but that person already knew, this feeling was never felt before.There were a lot of congratulatory gifts and dowry piled up in the boudoir, some were sent by Gu Jingxing, and some were prepared by the old lady. The dressing table was piled up with jewelry alone, which made Zhao Wenwan's eyes dazzled.

The wedding is approaching, and the old lady wanted to preside over it herself, but after all, she is old and can't work hard. After hearing the news, Mrs. Xipinghou came and took the initiative to ask for this job. She said it was to help the old lady, but most of them were undertook. , dare not teach the old lady to be tired.

Different from the joyous atmosphere that permeated the whole house, there was a gloomy atmosphere in the Jinglian Garden, and all the red silk and red satin were not allowed to close their eyes, and the things sent by the servants to decorate the house were collected by Lvyun and piled up in the An inconspicuous corner, for fear of irritating my master.

It has been several days since Zhao Wenxi closed the door after the imperial decree was issued. The food that was sent in was placed intact, and it was changed back and forth. Fearing that the young lady would collapse first if this went on, she said she was going to report to the old lady, and only then did Zhao Wenxi react a little.

The lips were dry, and the skin of the dry mouth was pulled with just one word, and a little bit of blood disappeared. Seeing this, Lu Yun hurriedly poured tea and handed it over, "Miss, you are embarrassing yourself like this, the person you are thinking of has no idea, I don't feel bad at all, just let yourself go, don't be so stubborn."

As soon as the tea was brought to his lips, Zhao Wenxi's heart throbbed uncontrollably when he heard Lvyun's words, that's right, even if she made such a ghostly appearance, that person would not come over to take a look, he was full of heart There is only Zhao Wenwan alone, and they are going to get married soon...

The tears that had been shed for several days, I thought they had dried up, but they moistened the eye sockets and fell drop by drop.

"Miss, don't cry, miss." Lu Yun hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe away Zhao Wenxi's tears, seeing people like this was really helpless.

"What day is it?"

"First... fifth day..."

Zhao Wenxi cupped the teacup with both hands, clutched it tightly, with a dazed expression, and murmured, "There are still three days left."

Seeing her lost soul, Lvyun couldn't help sighing in her heart, yes, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month is the day appointed by the emperor, and the position of concubine that the young lady has always wanted belongs to the young lady.The matter has been decided, all she can do is to comfort the young lady to open up.

Zhao Wenxi waved his hand and asked people to go out, saying that he wanted to be alone alone, so that he would not be overwhelmed anymore, and there was no need to report to the old lady and upset grandma.Lu Yun responded and retreated outside, not seeing Zhao Wenxi's gloomy face for a moment.

In the past few days, she seemed to have fallen into a magic barrier, immersed in another world, where Zhao Wenwan had been stupid as hell, and under the instigation of Wen Xuan and her, she became the target of public criticism. I cared so much, as if I was upside down with this world, there was a voice in the dark saying that she was wrong, she was the sixth princess, and even the mother of the country in the end...

Like a dream but not a dream, the corners of Zhao Wenxi's mouth curled up into a strange arc, if he made a mistake, he should straighten it.

On the eve of the big wedding, Mrs. Xiping Hou carefully checked the use of the wedding and the odds and ends that should be taken care of. The co-worker checked again and again, and finally went to Xiangzhuyuan, thinking that the child had lost his mother since childhood, and later the family had another accident. With so many miscellaneous things, now that her aunt has to take the lead in the marriage, she can't help but love her more.

"Miss, you should rest early, tomorrow is your big day." Baochan yawned and couldn't help it.

Zhao Wenwan was in high spirits at the moment, leading Baochan to play backgammon. Zhao Wenxi hadn't moved much in the past few days, which always made her feel a little uneasy, especially the closer the day was, the more defensive she became. "I can not sleep."

Mrs. Xipinghou, who opened the curtain and came in, just heard this sentence, the corners of her mouth were bent, and she couldn't help joking, "It's because I can't sleep when I think about tomorrow. My aunt came here like this, but she really needs to go to bed earlier. , don’t let Mammy read about the makeup on when my face is swollen the next day.”

"Auntie, it's been hard work for you these days." Zhao Wenwan hurriedly showed Xueyan a cup of tea, and thanked her sincerely. If Mrs. Xipinghou didn't come in time and took care of everything properly, how could she be so leisurely.

"The family doesn't need to be so ignorant." Mrs. Xi Pinghou smiled gently, and glanced at the chess record, "This is a new way of playing, I have never seen it before."

Zhao Wenwan briefly explained the rules, Mrs. Xiping Hou played a game with great interest, and finally said that it was a game to pass the time, and told Zhao Wenwan not to be playful, but to rest early.

Seeing her being taught, she stretched out her hand to smooth the hair hanging on her forehead. She also likes this girl, but after all, Yuaner is not blessed. Thinking of what he said before he left, he feels indebted to Zhao Wenwan , fortunately nothing was wrong.

"Girl Wan, your cousin was young and foolish and almost got into trouble, do you still blame him?"

Zhao Wenwan was a little surprised when she suddenly mentioned He Jingyuan, and quickly reacted. Looking at Mrs. Xipinghou's apologetic eyes, she pursed the corners of her mouth, and said after a moment, "Cousin is upright, has no bad intentions, and acts impulsively." I was instigated, but in the end I will not do anything to hurt me, because... my cousin is a gentleman."

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Wenwan felt that He Jingyuan was, but he was too upright and did not know how to adapt. He went to Qidi to practice, and he should be like Xipinghou when he came back.

Mrs. Xiping Hou was not concealed moved by Zhao Wenwan's words. Her child knew it best. Thinking of his dejected appearance when he left, she still felt distressed after all, but she didn't expect Zhao Wenwan to be so considerate and understanding. The child tosses himself like a punishment.

"Did my cousin send a letter home? How about in Qidi?"

"Okay, everything is fine. Although the conditions are difficult, your uncle clearly said that he wants to practice, but in fact he asked someone to watch him in secret. Hard work is hard, and he won't let him mess around." Mrs. Xiping Hou thought of the situation she received two days ago. The letter mentioned what He Jingyuan mentioned, "There is also a female general in the Jingyuan barracks. It is said that she was Fang Zimo's deputy general. Some of the thorns are tidied up submissively, and the meaning is quite powerful."

"Isn't that someone like Hua Mulan?" Zhao Wenwan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, I really want to meet you." Mrs. Xipinghou has only followed Xipinghou on expeditions a few times, but she has never been to the front line. For a strange woman like the female general, she is even more curious. appreciate.

The two were talking, and Mother Yang came in with a tray, with a smile on her face, and said, "The old lady heard that the eldest lady couldn't sleep, so she asked the cook to make some supper to calm her nerves." I'm angry, I'm going to lose my spirits tomorrow."

When the soup and water were put on the table, Mrs. Xiping Hou also got up, said that she would not disturb the rest, and went out with Yang's mother.

He was indeed a little hungry by now, Zhao Wenwan walked to the table and filled a bowl of red dates and millet porridge, which seemed to be mixed with some traditional Chinese medicines, some of which could be smelled, but some could not be identified, most likely it was medicinal food.The two maids sent by Gu Jingxing waited for Zhao Wenwan to wash up, took the half-missed bowl out of the house and returned to the servant's garden.

Today, the one who stays in the ear room on duty is a new servant girl. Seeing the master resting, she nods her head against the doorpost and dozes off.

From night to three o'clock, the dark night sky shrouded deeply like a curtain, and the sound of frogs echoed, showing silence. At this moment, a spark suddenly ignited, and the Xiangzhu Garden in the corner of Dingguo's mansion suddenly lit up. After a while, Then there was a panic from the servants, yelling to get out of the water, and the sound of footsteps coming.
