Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 286 Palace Banquet – Enough

"Is that Xiao Guifei? I can understand what you mean, the Empress Dowager dislikes her identity as a farmer in front of so many people, suppresses her with words, and even the prince is right? Is it right to give the prince two side concubines at once? If my concubine remembers correctly, Concubine Xiao was the first to marry the emperor who was still the prince at the time as a side concubine? At that time, the emperor married you within ten days. Married someone else? Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot, no matter the side concubine or the noble concubine, to put it bluntly, she is a concubine, there is no question of whether to marry or not, but this concubine has vaguely heard the prince mention that you were raised A few years after entering the door, the rest of the concubines and side concubines came in one after another, right? A concubine is like this, let alone this concubine is a dignified wife? You are rushing to humiliate and suppress this concubine before you give the prince a marriage. You want this concubine? What do you think? Don't tell me any evidence, as long as you are not a crippled mind, you will understand what it means."

Ling Jingxuan's consistent principle is that people don't offend me and I don't offend others. If Concubine Xiao didn't jump out by herself, he wouldn't bother to talk to her. Since she wanted to die by herself, then don't blame him for being a big man who bullies a woman, playing word games, If he loses to her, the word Ling Jingxuan will be written upside down.

As long as you are not a mentally handicapped person, you will understand the meaning of it. Isn't this a clear reminder to the people present that if you speak out of conscience, you are brain-dead?Everyone couldn't help being silent, no one wanted to get involved in right and wrong again, seeing Concubine Xiao standing out earlier, the concubines who originally wanted to step out to help speak to please the Queen Mother retracted their feet tacitly, it is important to please the Queen Mother, their own Fame is more important, especially for those who have children. It doesn't matter if they are said to be brain-dead, what if their son is also suspected of having insufficient IQ?Moreover, Prince Cheng was indeed something they could not afford to offend.

Who doesn't know that Concubine Xiao Gui has always cared about her status the most?Now people say concubine concubine, its anger can be imagined, the beautiful face with exquisite make-up distorted for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, Concubine Xiao closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths quietly, suppressing the inner emotion After getting angry, she raised her head again: "Princess Cheng, why would you deliberately distort the meaning of this palace? The queen mother is famous, who doesn't know that she treats us daughters-in-law like knives? Maybe she shouldn't dislike your identity as a farmer in the first place. , She was wrong on this point, but who doesn’t want a good wife as a mother-in-law? She’s just talking out of nowhere, so why should you cling to this point? Besides, marriage, you come from the country, you don’t have anything I don’t understand. The Empress Dowager also cares about you and wants to find two people to help you. Is it wrong? You are the dignified Prince Cheng and Zhengfei. No one dares to deny this, but you are also the Empress Dowager’s daughter-in-law. A daughter-in-law who yells at her mother-in-law?"

In short, she tried her best to play down the empress dowager's faults, and instead grasped Ling Jingxuan's faults, but she seemed to have forgotten that if the empress dowager was right and Ling Jingxuan was not a mad dog, how could he bite people randomly?She wanted to remove the queen mother, but it would never be possible.

"Really? It seems that you are all ladies, and you all know the rules?"

She lowered her eyes and straightened her clothes, Ling Jingxuan slightly curled the corners of her lips, because Concubine Xiao couldn't see his expression and didn't feel that there was something in his words, she nodded confidently and calmly: "Of course."

"Since that's the case, why do you dare to intervene in the conversation between my concubine and the queen mother without any rules or distance? In front of you there is the current queen, and on top of that there is the old lady, Princess Shangming. Even if this concubine is humiliated by the queen mother , the words are slightly inappropriate, and it’s not your turn to be taught by a concubine? Or is this the rule of the big family? Then this concubine really wants to thank you, I really have two people who understand the rules like Concubine Xiao 'When my side concubine goes back, my Prince Cheng's mansion won't run wild?"

In the next second, Ling Jingxuan raised his head abruptly, his eyes were piercing, his whole body was surrounded by a strong aura, and the mocking smile on his face was so naked that there was no concealment, everyone suddenly realized that, before they knew it, Concubine Xiao fell into the place he had dug up again. I'm stuck, if Concubine Xiao Gui could hold back the last time, she really couldn't bear it this time, staring into his eyes would be like eating him alive.

"Concubine Xiao Gui, speak carefully!"

They were all named, so it was naturally impossible for Chu Yunhan to stand on the sidelines. He knew that this was a signal from Ling Jingxuan. After a warning glance at the unwilling Concubine Xiao, Chu Yunhan got up again and walked towards the Queen Mother: "Mother, today What you said was indeed too hurtful, have you forgotten that today is a good day for His Majesty to celebrate Prince Sheng and all the soldiers?"

In other words, if you choose to move Prince Sheng at this time, aren't you looking for abuse yourself?The whole world knows that all the three armies obey Yan Shengrui's orders. If this angers Yan Shengrui and most of the soldiers who have never read anything, who will be responsible for what happens if something happens?Who can be responsible?Who dares to take responsibility?Guess even the emperor will help them, right?Otherwise, who would dare to fight the enemy in the future?The honor they exchanged with their lives, not only did not give their wives and children the dignity they deserved, but they were despised as worthless. If this is the case with Princess Sheng, what do other people think?

In fact, the queen mother has long realized that she has lost today, a complete defeat, but Ling Jingxuan is aggressive and does not let her go down any steps, so she can only stand still. Now when the queen said it, the queen mother decisively pretended to be thinking Concubine Xiao Gui next to her is no longer a human being. If the queen mother admits defeat, she will undoubtedly be a big joke all day long. No, she is already a joke at this time. Nothing left.

"Sister-in-law, forgive me for talking too much, our family doesn't talk about two things. It's not good for Lao Jiu's daughter-in-law to be born, but after all, he was chosen by Lao Jiu himself, and our royal family has also admitted it. As far as I know, last year Not long after they got married, Lao Jiu left the pregnant princess and two young children to go to the battlefield for the border war. I can understand the difficulties involved. To be honest, I feel sorry for this child. Listen Xiaoliu said that six years ago, Old Nine also left him who was pregnant in the same way. He left for five years. He was a man with two children. As an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have committed suicide with my royal blood, but he didn't. He survived strong and brought up two children. This alone qualifies him to be a member of the royal family. We are elders Yes, don’t you just hope that your children and grandchildren will be full? Now that the most worry-free Lao Jiu has married and started a business, what are you dissatisfied with? Whether the palace is managed well or not is all the business of Lao Jiu’s wife. He made a mistake That's enough, let's just say a few words, why do we have to put people around him, and deliberately make the children feel troubled?"

As expected of the eldest princess who came from the royal family, she not only helped Jingxuan speak, but also passed on to the Empress Dowager, and even easily turned the tense scene just now into a family talk. The eldest princess Shang Ming seemed to be ignorant Son, even the Hou Mansion has already been handed over to the daughter-in-law, but it doesn't hurt her shrewdness, she is still so gentle and sharp.

"Why don't you understand the Aijia you are talking about? But look at him, he caused a lot of trouble just after he arrived in the capital, Lao Jiu finally wanted to get married, can the Aijia not worry?"

The empress dowager who calmed down finally recovered the IQ she had while fleeing, and walked down the steps, not forgetting to say something about Ling Jingxuan, to show that she, the empress dowager, really broke her heart, Ling Jingxuan rolled her eyes helplessly, if she didn't want to wait He's going to meet Yun Han later, it's really not good for him if things get bigger, will he hint that Yun Han will come forward?Forget it, I should have vented my anger today, after all, she is the Queen Mother, his half-mother-in-law, so what's the point of letting her go once?There will be plenty of opportunities for them to compete in the future, but after this time, she might not dare to provoke him again for a while, right?

"Hehe... The emperor's sister-in-law is really old, and her heart is kind. How can she not use any means to manage the back house? The old ninth daughter-in-law is not from a good background. If you want to be more ruthless, those who hold slaves can't do it." Climb on top of their father and son? Most of the rumors from the outside world are based on false rumors, you can't believe it, you can't believe it!"

Princess Shangming smiled softly, and couldn't help joking with the queen mother, and the angry queen mother gradually recovered, and laughed with her: "That's right, it's really Aijia's old fool, and he believes in some rumors. In this case, the one who gave the marriage Let’s let it go for now, Princess Cheng, don’t act too recklessly, you must know that the face of the royal family and Lao Jiu must be taken care of.”

Thinking that the marriage plan that she had planned for several days was stillborn like this, the queen mother was very depressed, but what if she didn't give up now?The palace is full of civil servants and military generals today, if her previous slip of the tongue gets out, her accumulated reputation may be ruined, and if someone deliberately provokes her, then the old patriarch of the Yan royal family will probably be spared not her.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Just let it go for now?Ling Jingxuan lowered his head and raised the corners of his lips mockingly. After returning, he would ask someone to check to see which family's daughter made her so satisfied.

"Kneel down, I'm tired of mourning my family."

There was a violent fight, not only failed to please them, but also almost pissed me off, the queen mother was not in the mood to entertain them anymore, don't look at her as if she was fine on the surface, she might be very angry in her heart, I'm afraid she should be angry It's been a while.

"The concubine (the minister's wife) resigns!"

All the concubines and concubines stood up and saluted one after another according to their ranks, and then slowly left Fuling Palace in an orderly manner. It seemed that the Empress Dowager had won today's incident, but in fact, everyone knew that the real winner was Princess Cheng. He is more troublesome than the queen mother, and he is not a stupid farmer as rumored by the outside world. After returning, they have to discuss it carefully.

"Huh?? Brother, why did you bow your head in the end? The Queen Mother is too much. If the trouble goes to Brother Rui, he will definitely give you a head."

After leaving the Fuling Palace, Ye Ruyun exhaled exaggeratedly, Ling Jingxuan looked at her dotingly, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I bowed my head, but that I've made enough noise, this is enough to make her angry, and I'm afraid she will have to calm down for a while. Don’t you? Ru Yun, remember, it’s not that we can’t fool around, and it’s not that we can’t fight back in the face of power, but we must grasp reason and walk around the world with reason, and it’s hard to walk without reason. As long as there is reason, even the emperor , you can also go up and kick him hard, but there must be a sense of proportion, after all, she is the empress dowager and the mother of the emperor, and she does not look at the face of the monk but at the face of the Buddha. Don't force people to death with your own will, otherwise, we will die tragically sooner or later. Ru Yun, Xiao Hua's daughter-in-law, you are a little too impulsive today. Of course, I know that you love me, and I am very happy that you stand up to defend me. Me, but don’t do this again in the future. Ru Yun, you are a woman after all. Before Jingpeng arrives in the capital, I must ensure your safety and not let you lose a single hair. When there is no war in the country, the empress dowager will certainly give you face, but once a war breaks out between the two countries, your position will undoubtedly become the most embarrassing, and you may even be treated as a proton, understand?"

He will also sincerely repay those who are sincere for him. After all, this is his own battle, and he does not want to involve them.

"Yes? Oh, I see."

Ye Ruyun wanted to say something, but she decided to give up after touching Ling Jingxuan's eyes. She knew that he didn't want to hurt them, but they are a family. Standing up to support her, how could she have the face to meet Jing Peng in the future, and what face would she have to marry into the Ling family as a daughter-in-law?No matter how many times this kind of thing happens again, she will stand up without hesitation.

"Hmph, they are a bunch of soft-hearted people who are afraid of evil. The more you give in to them, the more they will get ahead. Don't worry, Aunt Nine Emperors. Since I dared to marry into the Qing Dynasty alone, I have never been afraid of anything."

He is also a prince who was born in the royal family, how can he have no brain at all?He just doesn't want to waste his brains with others, and there are not many people in the world worth his brains.

"You guys?

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help but feel helpless. Today's biggest gain was not that he almost killed the Queen Mother and humiliated Concubine Xiao in public, but that he got to know this arrogant, arrogant, but straightforward little prince. Perhaps, his temperament In the future, it is likely to bring him some unnecessary troubles, but he is a person worth making friends with, so the little troubles are not worth mentioning.

"Hey?? Aunt Nine Emperors, let's go to Qionghua Palace together. I heard that Uncle Nine Emperors loves you. When you brought people to smash the gate of the palace, the servants of the palace saw it. It is said that Uncle Nine Emperors will definitely punish you, but so far we have heard all about how you punished your subordinates with cruel and decisive means and sent away the beauties in the mansion. I think Uncle Nine Emperors must love you very much, right? If Xiao Hua You can also treat me like Jiuhuangshu treats you, even if I die immediately, I am willing."

Facing his mischievous smile, Princess Huajun swept away her usual arrogance and domineering, revealing a childlike innocent side. At the end, her face was covered with naked yearning.

"You love Xiaohua very much?" Seeing the undisguised love on his face, Ling Jingxuan stopped in his tracks. Since he loves Xiaohua so much, why did he become like this?Just because of the kids?It can't be so simple, can it?No matter how you say it, Yan Xiaohua is also the grandson of the dragon, and he doesn't look like that kind of brainless idiot. He shouldn't be ignored just because his child is sick.

"Well, I love him very much. He is my savior. I fell in love with him when I met him for the first time, but?? Maybe he doesn't love me, otherwise he wouldn't be because of Shang Qing? ?”

One moment, he was smiling sweetly, but the next second, the cloud was overcast, and the whole body was shrouded in sadness. It could be seen that he really loved Yan Xiaohua, otherwise he would never have wronged himself like this. You know, he is the most beautiful person in the West The beloved third prince, who has all the beauty in the world, only love can make him bend down to this extent.

"I've heard about the child, Xiaohua's daughter-in-law, if you trust me, maybe I can cure him."

"real?!"

As soon as the words fell, Princess Huajun grabbed his arms tremblingly, and her wide blue eyes were full of excitement and disbelief. God knows how much effort he has spent in the past two years, almost all over the country, even Xiguo sent a letter to ask for help, in order to find a famous doctor to cure Shang Qing, but every time it was accompanied by hope, it was full of disappointment. The child's illness not only did not get better, but became more serious. The child who was only four or five years old His skin is like willow bark. I remember last year when they took their children back to the palace for the New Year. The son of Yan Xiaocheng, the second brother, was ignorant. When they were not paying attention, he took a group of children and called him willow spirit. The children were so frightened that they cried , that was the time when he really felt distressed, and immediately started arguing in the palace with the child in his arms. He had to force the second couple to apologize to the child in person. From then on, he never He never let the child go out of the Prince's Mansion, and he still spared no effort to search for famous doctors. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up. He promised Shang Qing that he would be cured, and let him walk out of the Prince's Mansion in a fair and honest manner, to the sun. Down.

"Well, I heard from Zeng Shaoqing about the child's situation. I suspect that the child is either poisoned or has some kind of rare skin disease. The specific situation will not be known until we see it."

Facing his excited and complicated gaze, Ling Jingxuan nodded slightly. He really loves that child, right?As a stepfather, a high-ranking prince, it is not easy to achieve this level.

"Yeah, thank you, Aunt Nine Emperors, thank you?" Princess Huajun was so happy that she almost shed tears, holding him with both hands excitedly, Ye Ruyun suddenly interrupted: "Princess Huajun, don't worry, big brother's medical skills are good, Even the plague can't trouble him, Xiao Shizi's illness is definitely fine."

The person whom the eldest brother approves is the person she approves of, and the elder brother regards him as a friend, so naturally he is also her friend.

"Um"

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Princess Huajun nodded happily, wishing to tell Yan Xiaohua the news immediately, their child was saved, Aunt Nine Emperors would definitely cure him, for sure!

"Aunt Chunxiang!"

Just when the three of them were about to leave through the imperial garden, Chunxiang dressed as a little eunuch walked towards them. Ling Jingxuan's eyes were fixed, and he gave the two of them a look, and quietly followed her into the back of the nearby flowers.

"Princess, the empress is waiting for you in the Bibo Palace, please come with your servants."

"Hold on!"

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan turned back and left with Chunxiang after talking to Ye Ruyun. Because when Princess Huajun married Qingchao, the queen just left the palace. After returning last year, he rarely saw guests, and he didn't like the people around the queen Familiar, I just thought it was some concubine in the palace who wanted to see him, seeing that he seemed very calm, so he didn't take it to heart, turned around and walked towards Qionghua Palace with Ye Ruyun and Ling Yun and Song Shuiling who were left behind.
