The foolish prince counterattacks the concubine

Chapter 143 The Emperor's Assassination
Mu Xirao immediately became angry, she went back to her mansion, but was not stopped, she asked sharply: "Why, do I have to get your consent to go back to my mansion?"

The guard blocking Mu Xirao seemed to be the leader, and seeing the guard's complexion change, he couldn't believe that the gorgeous woman in front of him was actually Princess Rui, folk rumors, they had heard of it, not that Princess Rui was born ugly , but the girl in front of her is very beautiful, is it the same person?
But listening to her tone, her piercing eyes, and her aura, it doesn't look like a lie.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the mansion, it was the housekeeper.

Seeing that they blocked Mu Xirao from the house, the butler immediately stepped forward to salute: "Princess, you are back, Your Majesty, the prince is still waiting for your meal."

After the steward's words, Mu Xirao's identity was confirmed, the leading guard blushed, and he cried inwardly, it seemed that he was going to be imprisoned, the crime of disrespect to Prince Rui could be big or small.

It's just that he didn't expect that Mu Xirao just glanced at him, and didn't say anything to me. It was just that glance, which was so cold that he couldn't help shivering.

Along the way, Mu Xirao thought to himself, isn't the emperor going to the south of the Yangtze River?It's not even until this day, why did he come back, and instead of going back to the palace, he came to Prince Rui's mansion, it's not just as simple as having a meal.

Thinking of this, she asked the steward in a low voice: "Steward, when did the emperor come to the palace, what's the matter?"

The housekeeper looked left and right, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I heard that the emperor was assassinated on the way, Wangfei, please come in."

Suddenly the butler's voice became louder, and Mu Xirao realized that it was here.

In the hall, besides the emperor Mo Zhengxiang, there is also Si Guifei. Sitting next to Mo Zhengxiang is a middle-aged woman. Her phoenix clothes have already revealed her identity.

This person is the Empress of Chaoxi Kingdom. Mu Xiluo has never met the Empress before. If she said she did, it was at the banquet that she was far away, so she didn't see her face clearly. When she saw her today, she felt that the Empress was quite kind, but Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, to be able to sit on the queen's position, apart from the influence of her own family, she is not a simple person.

Mo Ziyan beckoned to Mu Xirao, signaling her to go over.

She nodded slightly, and walked with small steps, neither in a hurry nor quickly, she blessed her body: "Xi Rao sees Father, Queen Mother, Concubine Si, Your Majesty, Queen Mother and Concubine Si are well."

Mo Zhengxiang laughed loudly, and he raised his hand: "Get up, Xirao, we are all a family, why bother to make such a big ceremony, come, let's sit down and have a meal."

Seeing Mo Zhengxiang's words and his smile, everyone present felt that Mo Zhengxiang liked Mu Xirao.

Mu Xirao smiled slightly, and she stepped forward and sat next to Mo Ziyan. When she was eating, she looked at the people sitting there from the corner of her eye. They were all thinking about each other and had no intention of eating at all.

She also wondered in her heart, is it too pampering for the emperor to come to Prince Rui's residence for dinner? What is his purpose?
The maids were spreading the dishes aside, and when Mu Xirao was eating a piece of shredded pork, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The person who spoke was Concubine Si. Concubine Si had a smile on her face. She looked at Mu Xirao softly and said, "Xirao, last time I heard from Linger that you have a clever mind and are very good at rouge and gouache. , There happened to be a banquet in the palace, and Xi Rao gave me a compliment to explain, sister, are you right?"

She said the last sentence to the queen.

Tomorrow there will be a banquet held by the eldest princess, Mo Wan'er, which means that the daughters of all ministers will gather together to compare their talents.

Mu Xirao smiled on the surface, but she said: "Your Majesty praised Xi Rao, and there is no reason why Xi Rao should not be invited by your Majesty." But in her heart, she thought that it was just a group of young ladies showing off their family background and appearance. What, what's the point, but as she said, she had to agree to the invitation from Concubine Si herself.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Zhengxiang put down his jade chopsticks, and he also nodded and agreed: "Well, yes, young people should get together more often. Xiluo is smart, careful and bold, and is a model for all princesses and ladies. worth learning."

Mu Xirao lowered her head, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Father Huang praised you, how can Xirao be so good."

After this scene fell, no one spoke again during the banquet.

After the meal was finished, Mo Zhengxiang said to Concubine Si and the Empress, "Go back to the palace first."

The queen and concubine Si also had to answer, they could not ask ordinary women where their husbands were going, because their identities were doomed to be led by the nose in front of them for the rest of their lives, if he said west, they could not go east , Sometimes, they also feel that they are very pathetic.

Mu Xirao sent the Queen and Concubine Si out of Prince Rui's Mansion. When they came to Prince Rui's Mansion, they took a carriage. It can be seen that they did not go back to the palace, but came directly to Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Respectfully send off the Empress, Concubine Si." Mu Xirao supported the Empress, and after Concubine Si got into the carriage, she respectfully blessed her body.

The carriage gradually drifted away, and when the carriage disappeared, Mu Xirao turned around and entered the mansion.

The queen on the carriage sits at the top, while Concubine Si sits at the bottom.

Concubine Si was playing with Dan Kou in her hand, and suddenly she smiled and met the empress's shallow eyes, but her smile didn't reach her eyes, she said: "Sister, tell me, who is responsible for the assassination of the emperor today?"

Only then did the queen open her eyes, and she sneered sneeringly: "From the meaning of my sister's words, does it seem that you know this assassin?"

Empress, surnamed Yuan, boudoir name, Fengyu, and her name also verified her future status.

In the Yuan family, almost every generation of queens comes from the Yuan family. It is conceivable how deep-rooted the Yuan family's status is, and Yuan Fengyu already had a sweetheart before becoming a queen, and as the daughter of the Yuan family, she, Her marriage was already doomed, so to her, she didn't care about the emperor Mo Zhengxiang, all she cared about was her status, the Yuan family, and her son, Mo Yiyang.

And Mo Zhengxiang also knew this. After the Empress Yuan Shi became pregnant with Mo Yiyang, the Emperor hardly stayed in Chaofeng Palace. Her mission has not been completed, and she has not sent her son to that seat.

In the harem, she lives in intrigue every day. Fortunately, she was born in a powerful family. At least her queen position is unshakable. Her phoenix eyes slightly raised with disdain in her eyes. She stared at Concubine Si, and suddenly she said Sentence: "Sister, you said that we have been fighting for so many years, and now it is our son's turn to fight, but in my opinion, in the emperor's heart, only Mo Ziyan has the place."

The queen said it well, and this is also the words of Concubine Si, she took the queen's hand, and she whispered: "Sister, you are right, if we cooperate, with your Yuan family's power and our Fu family's power, we can let you Mo Ziyan has no chance to stand up again, sister, what do you think?"

But the empress let go of Concubine Si's hand, her voice was cold, she said: "Sisters are all the heirs of the emperor, why do you have to kill them all?"

When Concubine Si heard what the queen said, she also sneered back: "Hehe, my sister forgot, my sister has always been very generous, even her own niece can be sent to the emperor's dragon bed, what else can't be tolerated."

The queen's eyes were originally dignified, but after hearing this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and warned Si Guifei: "Fu Si, this palace will definitely investigate this matter, and Rou'er's matter will definitely be paid back." She is fair."

Concubine Si didn't care, but she laughed at the side: "My aunts and nephews are all serving the emperor, sister, tell me, if Concubine Rou sees you, should I call you sister or aunt? Ha ha."

The queen clasped her hands tightly, her eyes were fierce, she stared at Concubine Si, and she said in a cold tone, "Fu Si, don't go too far, this palace is the empress of the first palace, the mother of a country, even if you are favored again, so what, After all, you are a concubine, if I am the empress for one day, you will be a concubine for the rest of your life."

Concubine Si's smile froze, Yuan Fengyu said it right, she is a queen, she is a concubine, even if she wins the holy favor again, she is only a concubine and cannot surpass the queen, and she will not die in the same cave as the emperor after a hundred years.

She is different from Yuan Fengyu, she loves Mo Zhengxiang so much that she once lost herself, but Yuan Fengyu is different, from the first time she saw Yuan Fengyu, she knew that this woman did not love Mo Zhengxiang, because there was no jealousy in her eyes.

Later, she sent someone to secretly inquire about Yuan Fengyu, only to find out that she had a childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately, her sweetheart died, and she was also forced into the palace by the head of the Yuan clan.

This is not, say Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The carriage just arrived at the gate of the palace, and there was a woman in pink palace attire waiting at the gate of the palace.

The girl was petite and lovely, she seemed to be young, with green eyes.

The queen got out of the carriage, and the woman immediately came up to meet her. She took the queen's hand and called coquettishly: "Auntie, you are back."

The call of aunt was heard by Concubine Si, she stepped forward and said vaguely: "Sister Rou Concubine, pay attention to your address, don't mess with the rules."

This woman in pink is Yuan Fengyu's niece, Yuan Rou.

Seeing that Yuan Rou listened to Concubine Si's words, she pouted her lips and replied unhappily: "The emperor doesn't care about these rules, Concubine Si is really meddling in her own business."

Hearing that a little girl and a newly appointed concubine dared to talk back to her, Concubine Si was not happy, she was slightly angry: "Yuan Rou, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, a majestic voice interrupted her.

"Whatever the quarrel, everyone will go back to the palace."

As soon as they heard the voice, everyone knew who it was. They all turned around and bowed: "See the emperor, all blessings to the emperor."

At this moment, Yuan Rou's eyes flashed, and she took a step forward: "Your Majesty, just now Rou'er just called the Queen an aunt, and Concubine Si said that Rou'er doesn't understand the rules."

The grievance in her eyes made Mo Zhengxiang's heart soften, and in the depths of that memory, there was once such a woman with light in her eyes crying to him.
