Zhen Ping'er came to report the news, but Tang Mei didn't go to visit Princess Fan. To be honest, she just wanted to hear some news about the princess, rather than caring about the princess. After all, they were enemies. If she said she cared, she wanted to see the princess.
The concubine will die soon.
Tang Mei believed that Princess Fan first disturbed her marriage to the prince, and then engaged her daughter to the prince; she also strongly advocated marrying Tang Mei, which completely ruined Tang Mei's marriage. How resentful Miss Six was,
No need to express it.
As for what Tang Mei said at the beginning, she agreed to marry Su Ping because she didn't want to make the princess angry. This was just a prevarication. She just blocked Su Ping from the door and didn't want to say more to him.
However, people's hearts are full of flesh. Tang Mei felt a little sorry for mocking and neglecting Su Ping like that. Su Ping performed well today. She thought that when Su Ping came back, she would allow him to sit in Qinxiang Xiaozhu for half a quarter of an hour.
There are some things you need to say to him: Even if you can't become husband and wife, when he leaves in the future, you can still give him some benefits as compensation.
And Tang Mei also prepared some gifts. There was a piece of clothing that was originally sewn for her brother Tang Kuan. However, Tang Kuan had gained a lot of weight in the past two years, and the clothes were too thin.
She was a coquettish and fat girl. So Tang Kuan didn't want it, so he stayed at her house and gave it to Su Ping.
I heard that Su Ping was a poor man and pawned all the groom's clothes, so Tang Mei prepared five taels of silver for him.
Obviously, Tang Mei was impatient, but her son-in-law was not like that. After the competition, he did not rush home. Instead, he wandered outside with his little maid wearing a coarse floral cotton-padded jacket. He walked slowly and sometimes
He walked like a middle-aged and elderly man with his hands behind his back, looking very old-fashioned. But he didn't look old at all, and there was something charming about him.
As for what makes him so charming, I can’t say clearly. It’s just that when I first saw him, I couldn’t hate him... But compared to the prince, he was still a lot worse. The prince Zhao Tian’s demeanor was unmatched by anyone.
.
Indeed, among all the living beings in this world, how many people can compare with the prince's grace?
Tang Mei waited at home for a long time, but her husband-in-law did not come back. She looked at the cloudy weather outside the window, feeling resentful in her heart, and cursed "It seems he is still rich", so she took back the five taels of silver.
Finally, the adopted son-in-law came back, because the dining hall of the Duke's Mansion was about to open dinner. But at this time, a servant from Ninghou Mansion came over to invite the adopted son-in-law, because the second master, Tang Ning, was going to entertain those who had made meritorious deeds today. Naturally, this included a banquet.
Shun Neiyuan and Su Ping who won the game, as well as those who lost such as Gao Zhun, counted it as a small achievement.
Su Ping couldn't refuse, so he decided to go. But Su Ping was a son-in-law, not the master of the family, so he had to ask Tang Mei for permission. The boy was a flexible person, so he ran to Qin before Su Ping could tell him.
Xiang Xiaozhu went to talk, then ran back and told Su Ping that Miss Six had agreed.
So Su Ping took the greedy little maid Zhu Tao to the Hou Mansion. They ate well with wine and meat, and even brought back some meat in packages.
This damn weather has been cloudy for most of the day, and not a single raindrop has fallen.
Miss Six is a person who can't hide things in her heart. She wants to give out gifts, so she always thinks about it. As for the heavy Okura account books on the table, she has read them many times and calculated them many times.
, and found no problem. Since nothing was wrong, she just sat on the couch and waited for Su Ping to come back.
As a result, I waited until I could not come back, and I waited until I could not come back. After finally coming back, I was asked to leave again.
When it got dark, he finally came back again. Tang Mei planned to invite him upstairs, but she saw him coming back with some meat. At the concierge, she smiled mischievously and gave a package of meat to the most handsome maid, and then he happily
As they walked, Miss Six's temper boiled over her head when she saw this, and her fair face turned red.
"What a disgrace! I am such a noble person, waiting for you, a bitch!"
She cursed angrily in her heart and threw the package in her hand (a piece of clothing and the five taels of silver that she had stuffed in it for the second time) hard downstairs. This was the "thud" that Su Ping heard.
At this moment, heavy rain poured down. Before the maid could pick up the bag, it was already soaked by the rain.
…
The rain was pouring down, and Su Ping shook out his cloak and wrapped it around the little maid beside him. The master and slave ran towards the backyard. They laughed while running. The little maid also laughed too, and the laughter was like a clear bird's call, which was really pleasant to the ear.
But at this time, in the seventh lady's house behind the sixth lady's house, there was no laughter at all, but a deathly silence.
In the small attic where the seventh young lady Tang Zhao lived alone, the prince Zhao Tian was pacing with his hands behind his back and a heavy expression on his face. The wooden floor made a creaking sound.
Although Tang Zhao was only seventeen years old, she was a majestic woman. She sat on the couch and had been waiting for the prince for seven days and seven nights. However, during these seven days, nothing happened between them.
Doing deviant things.
Although the bright big eyes of Miss Seven are full of blazing temperature, she is already a ball of fire, but she still sticks to the bottom line of a woman. And these seven days, Prince Zhao Tian has been in a state of confusion. He is also a ball of fire, but his fire is not there.
Women are always worried about their throne and their lives.
Emperor Tiande has died, but Empress Han did not mourn in secret. Why did she do this?
"Your Highness, why don't you tell me the matter?"
"I can't say it, I can't say it at this time." Zhao Tian frowned, and his smart and sharp eyes swept across: "Prince Fu and Prince Xian ran away, and I felt that something was wrong. Fortunately, I walked fast, otherwise
My life may have been lost."
Seven nights ago, Prince Zhao Tian received a secret report and escaped from the East Palace overnight. There were several important ministers in the princeling party, but Zhao Tian felt that they were not enough to fight against the queen, so he hid in the Anguo Palace in Qinghuafang.
This is the core forbidden area of the Tang family.
There is the "League of Peace" that binds the royal family and the family. There is a provision in it that even the Imperial Forest Army cannot break into the Duke's palace. But now that An Guogong Tang Qiong is not at home, Zhao Tian is worried again. What if the Queen of Han breaks the boat and rapes her?
If you fight in, your life will be at risk.
I just hope that the news will not leak out, but Tang Zhao, the seventh lady, has already written a secret letter and hastily sent it to Chang'an.
"Queen Han is so generous and kind, will she attack the prince?"
Although Tang Zhao, who was only seventeen years old, had read a lot of poetry and classics and history, she did not learn and apply them flexibly. On the contrary, the prince Zhao Tian of the same age was a born politician with a keen sense of smell.
He didn't need to be taught how dangerous and cruel the change of imperial power was. The Queen Mother Han did not announce her mourning secretly, which was a blatant attempt to usurp power. Any reason she gave at this time would be a lie.
"There are some things you don't know." Prince Zhao Tian retracted his sharpness just now, like an eagle retracting its wings, and sat on the couch: "When Empress Han was still a noble concubine, she was sent to the cold palace by the empress. At that time, the palace was full of people all day long.
It was a mess, and the concubines were fighting endlessly. Later, the emperor took control of the crane, and the father invited Concubine Han out of the cold palace and made her the queen. From then on, the palace became quiet, and I was over twelve years old, left the harem, and went to
East Palace. At that time, my father was very satisfied with Queen Han, but when my father felt that his health was not good, he once told me that he would kill the queen."
"Why do you do this?" Tang Zhao looked shocked and grimaced, staring at the prince with big kind eyes: "Queen Han is not the prince's biological mother, so is she going to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and kill his mother?"
Zhao Tian smiled bitterly, raised his hand and touched Tang Zhao's delicate face: "You have read all your books in vain."
Tang Zhao looked away, lowered his head in anger, and pinched his nails.
Zhao Tian smiled and reached out to grab Tang Zhao's hand.
The prince held Tang Zhao's hand with both hands and said with a smile: "But I like your silly look. I hope you can stay like this forever. Don't be like your sixth sister, who is shrewd and scheming all day long..."
"Dong dong dong" Suddenly there was a knock on the door, interrupting the prince's words.
…
Changqiu Palace and Feixiang Palace.
Empress Han sat on the couch with a dull expression, her soul flying to the sky. The prince had been missing for seven days, and the emperor's body had been hidden in the bed cabinet for seven days. These days were really difficult, and Empress Han felt a big stone in her heart that was difficult to let go.
"Why didn't Meng'er come to see me?"
Zhao Meng, the king of Feng, was the son of Empress Han. He was hiding in Dagu Pass because his uncle Han Tingjun served as the military supervisor there.
"In reply to your concubine, Prince Feng said..." Hu Rong bowed respectfully but stopped talking.
"what did he say?"
"King Feng said that he was incompetent and unworthy of his great responsibilities."
Hearing this, tears flowed from the Queen's almost dry eyes, then she sobbed and burst into tears, and soon burst into tears.
The queen's sad cry came from Feixiang Palace. There were only eunuch Hu Rong and maid Han Ju in the palace. They looked at each other and stepped forward to persuade.
The queen cried loudly, but whispered: "I don't want to harm the prince, but the emperor wants to kill me. All my life, I have been loyal to the emperor and raised children for him. Why did I end up like this?"
Hu Rongdao: "Your Majesty, when you have come to this point, you have no way out."
Hu Rong paused for a moment and then said: "I went to the Duke's Mansion today. Although I didn't find the prince, I have sent the news to Nei Ying. Wait a few days, and if Nei Ying finds that the prince is hiding in the Duke's Mansion, I will
We will send experts to take his life. Once the prince dies, the princelings will inevitably disperse. By then, Uncle Han will lead his troops into the city, and it will only be a matter of course for King Feng to ascend the throne."
