Chapter 224
This matter was sent to King Ping, and it was only when Zhuhua entered the palace to pay her respects that Princess Jiang mentioned it.Of course, Princess Jiang didn't come here to remind Zhuhua so kindly, she just came to make things difficult for Zhuhua, even though she knew that King Ping didn't accept her in the end.Among the palaces of the princes, only the concubine is left in the palace of Prince Ping, and there is not even a housemate. A woman from Zhuhua's family background is probably not out of Ping's heart if Prince Ping is guarding her. Zhuhua knew how she would make a fuss about this.

Zhuhua didn't make a fuss, although she also thought about why she didn't accept it?After all, they also gave away a house, so we can talk about what to do with it, but the house is sold for money, and the house price in Chang'an City is so expensive, it is a lot of money.Of course, she just wanted to think about it, but as a princess, she couldn't be so shallow-sighted, and a prince couldn't accept generous gifts, it was a crime.

However, Zhuhua, who has been poisoned by feudal thoughts, immediately thought that it would be okay to charge a little bit. She even thought about whether she should do something so that outsiders would stop being so sneaky in sending things in the future, otherwise King Ping would secretly collect money from her. She didn't even know that the money for the jewelry that King Ping gave her might have come from here.

And compared to the concubine's room at home, Zhuhua hates the outside room more.They don't have to bear the pressure of the palace, and they don't have to advance and retreat with the palace, but they enjoy a comfortable and prosperous life; why!If there was such an outside room, it would be light for her to come and smash the door.

Having said that, she felt that King Ping didn't seem to have such a crooked mind, at least as far as he looked, she was sure that King Ping had his heart on her.But a man's heart can't stand temptation. Some people take the initiative to throw themselves into their arms, and she doesn't believe that he can guard even his little hands. In order to avoid such things from happening, she feels that it is necessary to cut off others. idea.

Zhuhua attended several more banquets this year than in previous years, through which she met a concubine daughter of the Wei family, who was the concubine sister of the late Princess Chu.

Concubine Chu's father is an only son and has no talents. Relying on the face of his father's generation, several of his daughters have found good marriages, but in the end these marriages did not bring him any real benefits.Now, his father, Mr. Wei, who was too often, has passed away. His best-married daughter, Princess Chu, passed away without leaving a son and a half. He just wanted to make another good marriage, let his daughter marry a powerful family.He no longer has a concubine, only a 15-year-old concubine, Wei Ruping and Wei Ba Niang, who looks good. It is impossible to marry her into a rich and powerful family as his official wife, and it is more than enough to be a concubine.

When Zhuhua first met Wei Baniang at the banquet, she felt that the girl looked familiar, especially the indifference between her eyes and eyebrows, which was somewhat similar to Princess Chu.After asking, I found out that this is Princess Chu's concubine sister, and the person who brought her here is Princess Chu's stepmother, who is now the head mother of the Wei family, Mrs. Wei.Zhuhua chatted with Mrs. Wei for a few words, and she heard that she seemed to want to give Wei Ba Niang to King Ping as a concubine.Zhuhua immediately looked at Wei Ba Niang in surprise, as if feeling her gaze, Wei Ba Niang's eyelashes trembled, but she quickly calmed down, facing all this indifferently.

Zhuhua felt more and more that she resembled Princess Chu.

Of course, Zhuhua would not agree to Wei Baniang's entry into the house because of this.Mrs. Wei saw that she didn't respond, but it was expected, and soon she took Wei Ba Niang to show her face in front of other wives.Zhuhua looked at her straight back from a distance, but also sighed for her, and suddenly thought of Xu Qingqing again.

Then one day when she was going to offer incense outside the city, she saw Ba Niang Wei who was accompanying Mrs. Wei to offer incense.Mrs. Wei seemed to be angry about something, and even gave a few words to Wei Ba Niang. Wei Ba Niang stood as calmly as she could, apologizing softly, but she couldn't tell from her tone that she knew her mistake.After inquiring about Zhuhua, I found out that Mrs. Wei wanted to give Wei Ba Niang to a high-ranking official as a concubine. People read the joke.

Naturally, this marriage will fail.After a while, Mrs. Wei restrained herself a little.Until the end of the year, she started to participate in various banquets again, as if she wanted to let go of Wei Ba Niang before the new year.

On this day, I met Ba Niang Wei at the Zhuhua banquet.After meeting for a few times, the two are considered to know each other, but they just say hello when they see each other, and don't chat much.In the middle of the banquet, Zhuhua went to change clothes, and saw Wei Ba Niang with a pale complexion in a hurry in front of the path.

"Miss Wei, what's the matter?" Zhuhua couldn't help asking.

"I just met King Huo...Your Highness." She blurted out and immediately slowed down her complaining tone, trying her best to make this statement a plain fact, but if it was true, she would not be so at a loss .

Zhuhua glanced to the left and right, and after the servant backed away a little, she approached her and whispered: "Don't you have someone you like who is willing to help you out of trouble?"

Wei Ba Niang was taken aback, and said slowly, "He failed the exam."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Zhuhua, her long eyelashes trembled, and immediately showed a standard smile, "The princess is more blessed than my sister."

"It depends on how you choose." Zhuhua said.

After nodding with her, he separated from her.After going back that day, she was thinking about this matter, and she couldn't sleep well at night.

"What's bothering you lately?" When he got up early, King Ping asked cautiously, thinking to himself, could it be that she knew about someone trying to force someone in.

Zhuhua smiled and shook her head, "Don't think too much about it, go to the Imperial Academy as your value."

King Ping nodded. At the end of the year, affairs were complicated. He had to accompany the prince to deal with political affairs in the palace every day, and sometimes he would be late when he returned home.He was afraid that Zhuhua would think too much, and seeing that she didn't seem to be angry with him, he left the house in peace.Zhuhua sat in the room for a while, then called Qiuchu and asked her to hand over the post to Weifu.

Mrs. Wei was a little surprised when she received the post, and when Zhuhua passed through the mansion, the two exchanged a few words of greeting, and Zhuhua said bluntly: "My concubine and Si Huang's wife are very much in love. How similar is it to the Fourth Sister-in-Law, and I don’t know if Madam is willing to let her come to Pingwang Palace to be my concubine’s companion?”

Based on the relationship between Prince Ping and the crown prince, Mrs. Wei is naturally willing.But at this time, she also took the airs and evaded a few words.

When Zhuhua heard this, she smiled and said: "In that case, my concubine will not bother you."

As she spoke, she stood up, Madam Wei hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said: "Princess Ping, please slow down, let the old man ask Ba Niang what she means first."

"Then Mrs. Lao, hurry up. My carriage is outside. If you want to go, you can only go today. If you don't have time today, just pretend I didn't mention this matter."

"Yes, the old man will ask right away." Mrs. Wei hurried to the backyard, thinking on the way, probably this is the meaning of King Ping, and Princess Ping is not willing, so she put on such an attitude to pick her up.For her, this is a good thing. The one who is close to the crown prince is always Prince Ping. How could Princess Ping dare to go against the prince's wishes and make her angry with King Ping.

When we arrived at Ba Niang Wei's room, Ba Niang Wei hurried over to salute. Mrs. Wei glanced at the scriptures she had copied half, and frowned. The old and the young in this family love this kind of thing, but fortunately, the old The younger one is gone, and the older one is still willing to listen to her.

"Pack up your things and go to Prince Ping's Mansion."

Half-kneeling Wei Ba Niang frowned suspiciously, but still replied: "Yes, mother."

After simply packing up some things for Izumo to take with her, Ba Niang Wei carried a piano out of the house by herself. In fact, there was only this piano left by her mother in this house, which she was reluctant to leave behind.When the group arrived at the front hall, Zhuhua glanced at Wei Baniang, who was dressed a bit old, and then nodded indifferently.

"That's it, let's take our leave." Zhuhua said, and wanted to take people away.

"Wait." Although Mrs. Wei was in a hurry to send Wei Ba Niang into the high school, she didn't send her out hastily like this.

Zhuhua naturally knew what she meant, so she went to Mrs. Wei and whispered: "As long as my sister's stomach is up to date, there will always be a side concubine in the future."

Mrs. Wei was relieved after hearing this, and she was also glad that Zhuhua is not particular about it. It might be a small matter for other palaces to marry a side concubine, but she just asked someone to pick her up in a small sedan chair. It also saves the dowry money from Weifu.Presumably Princess Ping did not want Prince Ping to marry a side concubine so much, so she deliberately stepped on Ba Niang's face.Ba Niang is not her daughter, of course she doesn't feel sorry for her, but she is a little worried about whether this child will give birth to a son. If she is unlucky and short-lived like Princess Chu, wouldn't it be a waste of her hard work.

In the evening, Mrs. Wei heard about this after returning home, but gave Mrs. Wei a scolding.

"Look at the things you do, you are always so petty." After speaking, he went outside and ordered the housekeeper: "Hurry up and buy twenty boxes of dowry and send it to Prince Ping's Mansion. Remember, take a detour and let the people in the city see more."

"Yes, I understand." The butler quickly responded.

But not a while after the housekeeper left, Mrs. Wei received another post from Huo Wangfu, which said that Princess Huo invited Mrs. Wei and Wei Ba Niang to visit Huo Wangfu.Mrs. Wei thought for a while, and asked someone to reply, saying that Ba Niang Wei had already been sent to Prince Ping's Mansion, and she delayed telling Master Wei about it until the next night, pretending that it was a post she had just received during the day, In case Mrs. Wei blamed her for being careless, she never knew that Ba Niang Wei, who no one cares about, would suddenly become so popular.

However, after Wei Baniang returned home with Zhuhua, Zhuhua took her to the living room to sit first.Jiajia didn't see Zhuhua all afternoon, and ran towards her with an aggrieved expression as soon as she saw her coming home.

"Everyone is good, wait for mother to change clothes first." Zhuhua immediately squatted down and made a movement to stop her going.

Jiajia stopped and nodded, but followed behind Zhuhua. It wasn't until Zhuhua cleaned her hands that she picked him up, and he realized that there was a strange aunt in the room.Wei Ba Niang smiled at him kindly, then turned her eyes back to stare at the ground, she didn't know why Zhuhua brought her to Prince Ping's mansion.

"Three years, can you wait?" Zhuhua coaxed Jiajia, and asked Ba Niang Wei, who was standing beside her, who was a little uneasy.

Wei Ba Niang was taken aback, nodded abruptly, but said, "But, why..."

"I have my own plan, you should just live in a different place, and wait to see if it's worth it for you to wait for three years." Zhuhua said, and asked Qiuchu to find Qinglan. , Let Qing Lan arrange people in the back yard.

Qinglan knew that Zhuhua had suddenly left the house in the afternoon, but Qiuchu whispered to her before she left, saying that the concubine was a little confused today, and she didn't know about her until she heard that Zhuhua had picked up a young lady from the Wei family. Where did you get mixed up.Now that Wei Baniang is still there, Qinglan can't say anything, so she can only look for a chance later.It's a pity that the time after Zhuhua was taken up by the sticky Jing Jiajia, neither of them wanted to talk about it in front of Jiajia, so they had to give up.

In the evening, the dowry from Wei's family also arrived, and the bead flowers were accepted and sent to the yard where Wei Ba Niang lived.Wei Ba Niang also laughed when she saw the things, she never thought that she would still have a dowry, which was also thanks to Princess Ping.

When King Ping returned to the mansion, he saw his servants carrying boxes to the backyard.King Ping wondered, why do these boxes tied with red silk look so dowry?But his children are still young, so they don't need it. Could it be that Yuan Tai... called someone over to ask him, and he was shocked that this was actually his concubine's dowry.What happened on this day, why did he suddenly have a concubine?

After being puzzled, King Ping had no choice but to rush to the main courtyard with his clothes on. When he entered the house, he stumbled at the door and threw himself on the legs of Zhuhua who was watching the family walk by the door.

"Hey, stupid." Jiajia said, he still couldn't pronounce the pronunciation of "Daddy", but other brothers and sisters could pronounce it.As he spoke, he smiled and clapped his hands. He wasn't worried about his father's fall at all, but he swayed and fell to the ground unsteadily when he patted his body.

"Mother~" After being stunned for a while, he called out aggrievedly, and looked at Zhuhua with tears in his eyes.

Zhuhua didn't bother to ask Ping Wang, who was hanging on her body, why he left in such a hurry, so she pushed him away and knelt down and said to Jiajia: "Good boy, stand up by yourself."

Jia supported the ground with her hands, pouted her buttocks, and slowly got up.Zhuhua knew that he could get up on his own, and he didn't fall too hard, but he loved to act like a baby, so she insisted on coming over to look at him.After he stood up, he threw himself into Zhuhua's arms, and even lifted his leg.

"pain."

Zhuhua immediately kissed him on the forehead and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Jiajia said coquettishly, nestling in Zhuhua's arms shyly and happily.

King Ping looked at him coldly and had a question in his heart—is it too late for him to pretend to be in pain?
"What's the matter?" Zhuhua hugged Jiajia at this moment, and also thought of King Ping behind him, and looked at him with eyes wandering in surprise.

"My concubine, I don't take a concubine, I really don't take a concubine! Don't scare me, my concubine, if I'm doing something wrong, just tell me, don't use the excuse of taking a concubine to punish me!" He almost Tears followed Zhuhua to express her sincerity. She was afraid that Zhuhua would give him a concubine out of suspicion to test him. She must have let her know about the beauties sent to him by others, so he knew it was true. If he couldn't hide it, he should have coaxed her more to reassure her a few days ago.

"Who said it was a concubine for you!" Zhuhua frowned and looked at the dazzled and exaggerated handsome man with disgust, no matter how she looked at it, she felt guilty, "Don't worry about that concubine, it's not for you Accept it, I will keep it for use.”

Now King Ping really wanted to cry, it wasn't for him but for whom.Still useful?Could it be that Zhuhua failed to learn from Mrs. Wu Ying and started to raise beauties at home?Can these beauties be useful to him?Unconvinced, King Ping immediately decided to work harder at night, it was time to show his true strength!
When the clouds harvested and the rain rested in the evening, King Ping asked Zhuhua again why she took a concubine. Zhuhua didn't even have the strength to lift her fingers, and she didn't bother to talk to him, so she just said: "Anyway, don't worry about it."

Zhu Hua thought to herself, at this moment he was still thinking about the little concubine, so it could be seen that he didn't care about it at all.

In fact, she herself didn't think about what to do with Wei Ba Niang.It should be said that her relationship with Princess Chu is mediocre, but apart from Princess Ji, she can also talk to Princess Chu.A family is a family, even though being in the royal family makes the family relationship change, but Zhuhua still pretends to be relatives on King Ping's side at home, but there are differences between close and distant relatives.For her, if something happened to a distant relative who was quite pleasing to the eye, it was only natural for her to help within the scope of her ability.Of course, the other party should be worthy of help. Zhuhua would not care about Princess Chu's bad parents. Zhuhua was willing to help her, her concubine who was somewhat similar to her.

She also thought about whether to find a few more people to occupy the position of side concubine in Prince Ping's mansion.But if they really became registered side concubines, they might really have to raise them in the mansion for the rest of their lives, and the concubine's room would be different.As long as this opening is opened, if someone plugs someone or something in the future, she will know that it can be done clearly, and she will let the world see how serious consequences will be brought to King Ping by giving a concubine to King Ping.

Thinking so, Zhuhua also thought that maybe she was leading wolves into the house.Thinking about the previous life, didn't she just take in the down-and-out plastic sisters, and was finally coaxed away by her husband.If she encountered such a thing in this life, it might hit her even harder, and she didn't even dare to imagine it.But she firmly believed that King Ping would not do such a thing, and she also firmly believed that she could deal with this problem more rationally.

The older she gets, the more she feels that she was a little too impulsive when dealing with the relationship with her husband in her previous life.If she solves it in a more rational way, maybe she is still living in the previous life, and she can accompany her mother in the previous life until she dies.But there is only one life, and she can't go back. In this life, she already has a better husband and children.She has to manage well, but she can't mess things up like before.

This is the hurdle she found for herself. She didn't care about it, but the people around her were blown up.
