The lawsuit between the Zhou family and the Hua family made many people in the capital watch a lively show. Regarding the Zhou family's behavior of favoring a concubine and killing his wife, it was rumored, and no one dared to be in-laws with the Zhou family for a while.
There were also some people who said sourly behind their backs that Hua Xiwan was a married woman in charge of her family affairs, but they were quickly refuted.
"If you even ignore the crimes of your own sister, then she is a woman with a scorpion's heart. Princess Jin's style is like this, but it doesn't lose everyone's style."
Everyone talked about the benefits of Hua Xiwan, and half of them agreed with her actions, but the other half might be because of Hua Xiwan's identity, which made them want to please them, so they wanted to say good things everywhere. Human nature is like this, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Everyone knows that because of the scandal of favoring a concubine and destroying his wife in the Zhou family, Zhou Shilang was disqualified from invigilating the Spring Examination, and he was also impeached by some officials. Sent to a cold place to serve as a magistrate.
Originally this week, the waiter still had the opportunity to fight for the position of Shangshu, but now everything is in vain, which shows how important it is to raise good children. Many people in the capital have sent many concubines in the mansion because of this. The name of the concubine destroying his wife was suppressed, which made him feel disgraced.
As soon as the matter settled down, Dali Temple caused another disturbance about the case of the horse stabbing in Linping County, because after a thorough investigation by Dali Temple, the matter was vaguely related to the Prince and the Lord of Linping County.
Linping County Ma is the prince's person, why did the prince want to kill him? The Lord of Linping County is his direct wife, why do you want to kill him, there must be something else hidden in it.
The further back this case was, the more suspicious it became, and even more than half of the people in Beijing were involved. However, the reason for the two women who were killed before was found out. It was Zhou Yunheng and these women who were sticking together, which made a concubine in the family feel jealous and sent someone to assassinate them. People left things related to Shengjun Wangfu to confuse people's sight.
As for the reason for throwing things related to Shengjun Wangfu, it was just because Shengjun Wang served in Dali Temple. The concubine believed that Shengjun Wang might suppress the case because he was afraid of this matter. King Xian and his wife, who came out of the palace, found that the trouble was known to the whole city, and they couldn't hide it if they tried to hide it.
Now that the matter has been clarified, the concubine was arrested and brought to justice, and Zhou Yunheng was also implicated and sentenced to three years in prison.
"Is this case over like this?" Hua Xiwan leaned lazily on the soft couch, with two soft pillows on her back, "The Zhou family is such a small concubine, she dares to live in the boundary of the capital. Murder is really audacious."
"Who knows what kind of mess the Zhou family is," Hongying squatted in front of the soft couch and gently tapped on Hua Xiwan's knees, "Fortunately, Miss Tang got out of that quagmire, otherwise, the Zhou family would definitely be punished. People are tired."
"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, who knows whether it's good or bad," Hua Xiwan asked the little maid to sit on an embroidered stool for Hongying, and then said, "I'll sleep for a while, if the prince comes back, you can call me again. ."
Hongying replied in a low voice, and after a while, she saw Hua Xiwan falling asleep, she carefully covered her with a thin blanket, and gently retreated to the outside, seeing a little maid cleaning the utensils in the room, she said: "Be careful. Don't disturb the princess."
"Yes," the little maid bowed her knees and moved more cautiously. Hongying saw that she had nothing to do, so she started to make embroidered handkerchiefs, brightly colored silk threads, and fabrics with excellent hand feel.
About half an hour later, Hongying heard footsteps coming from outside, and there seemed to be someone greeting her. She hurriedly put down her embroidery work, and when she walked to the door, she saw the prince walking towards her, and she hurriedly lowered her head. He walked to the door, stepped back to the side of the door and stood on his knees.
"Princess is asleep?" Yan Jinqiu glanced at Hong Ying, and just asked, Hua Xiwan's voice came from the room.
"I was sleeping, but you woke me up."
Hearing this, Yan Jinqiu strode into the inner room. Seeing Hua Xiwan leaning on the soft couch and lazily not wanting to get up, she walked to the soft couch and sat down, "Since you are awake, sit with me."
"How tiring to sit," Hua Xiwan leaned her upper body on Yan Jinqiu's body weakly, "Why did you come back so late today, and you don't even care about going back to the house to eat lunch?"
"It's still because of the assassination of a horse in Linping County," Yan Jinqiu put his hand on her waist and said indifferently, "Dali Temple found out that the incident was related to the prince, which made the emperor furious and angered the people in Dali Temple. ."
Hua Xiwan covered her mouth with her hand and yawned: "Isn't the prince locked up in the sky prison?"
"Two days ago, the emperor said that he wanted to release the prince and put him under house arrest in the prince's mansion. Who would have thought that the Dali Temple would say that the prince might be related to the assassination of a horse in Linping County today in front of the ministers. If you can't let it out, how can the emperor's face hang on?"
"The people of Dali Temple... have a lot of courage," Hua Xiwan felt that this was a bit too coincidental, but cautiously did not say, "The emperor did not have the sin of ruling the Dali Temple?" Although it happened this morning, but some The world has already heard about it, and Hua Xiwan heard about it before lunch.
"Even if the emperor has this heart, he can't do this, unless he wants to leave a reputation as a stunned tyrant in the history books," Yan Jinqiu smiled with some irony, "If the emperor still has a son, he will probably be able to do so without hesitation. Give up the prince."
Hua Xiwan was noncommittal. With Emperor Qilong's temperament, he probably didn't have much fondness for the prince. It's a pity that he only has such an unsatisfactory thing under his knees, which is really a pity and ridiculous.
If it is for the common people of the world to think that there is such a useless, tyrannical and lecherous prince, it would be better to abolish the adoption of an excellent child from the royal family, and at least it will ensure that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment for the next few decades.
It's a pity that there may not be a few emperors in this world who can truly be so generous.
"My lord, I have something to report." Mu Tong's voice was cautious, as if the report would not make Yan Jinqiu happy.
"Come in," Yan Jinqiu's eyes were frosty, but the hand on Hua Xiwan's waist was still gentle.
"I have seen the prince and the princess. People from the Prince's Mansion came to report. The prince has a good news for two months."
"Prince Concubine has a good news?" Yan Jinqiu looked at Mu Tong with a strange tone, and after staring at Mu Tong for a while, a smile appeared on his face, "This is a big happy event, our Da Zhao Dynasty will soon be over. To have a grandson."
Hua Xiwan looked at Yan Jinqiu and Mu Tong suspiciously. The two seemed to have a strange attitude towards the princess' pregnancy.
"Since the Crown Princess is pregnant, I will visit the Crown Princess tomorrow with a generous gift," Hua Xiwan said with a smile, "The Crown Princess finally expects a child."
Mu Tong laughed dryly and did not dare to say more.
"In this case, there is Lao Xiwan." Yan Jinqiu lowered his eyes and said, "Prince Concubine is pregnant with a grandson, which is a noble body. We must pay more attention to the gifts we send."
"I understand," Hua Xiwan nodded. It doesn't matter if the gift is given. If there is a problem with the golden grandson in the stomach, they will be unlucky no matter how many reasons they have to show the palace.
Early the next morning, Hua Xiwan took a carriage to visit the prince concubine. When she arrived at the gate of the prince's mansion, she found that the gate of the prince's mansion was heavily guarded.
After Hua Xiwan got off the carriage, a female official stepped forward to greet her. Seeing that there was a carriage parked beside her, she asked, "I don't know which noble person has arrived."
"Princess Echo Hsien, that is the frame of Concubine Xu's Crown Prince, and Concubine Xu arrived before half a column of incense." The female official originally served in Zhaoyang Palace and was a respectable maid who served the emperor, but in front of the nobles in the capital, she did not dare to There is half a point of slack.
"It turns out that she has always been considerate," Hua Xiwan said with a smile on her face, "It is absolutely impossible for me to get up early every day. The weather is getting colder and colder, and people are getting tired and lazy. ."
The female official smiled and didn't dare to speak, but she was sighing in her heart, how could she be as comfortable as Princess Xian, with her mother-in-law on top of Concubine Xu. What's more, the fact that King Xian pampered his own princess was a matter known to the whole capital. Don't talk about staying in bed for a while, I'm afraid that if this person wants a star, King Xian will try his best to find it.
It is said that King Xian is a gentleman who has his own flair, and now he is just an ordinary husband who bows down to this Princess Xian's pomegranate skirt. Fortunately, some maids in the palace are still thinking about this talented and beautiful King Xian, and they don't even look at how stunning and beautiful the Princess Xian is. Can their beauty and skills catch the eyes of King Xian
After leading Hua Xiwan into the room where the Crown Princess was staying, the female official bowed and walked out. Before she went out, she turned her head back and looked at the Princess's back. Standing in the room, it actually made the whole room look bleak.
She hurriedly retracted her gaze and sighed when she walked out of the door. If this person entered the palace, she would definitely be the concubine who was in the harem. Fortunately... The female officer slapped herself in the face, what was she thinking, don't Dead
"I've seen the Crown Princess," Hua Xiwan said before she was supported by the Crown Princess' personal maid.
"Why should my cousin be so polite?" The Crown Princess asked Hua Xiwan to sit down with a smile on her face.
After Hua Xiwan and Xu Wang Shizi greeted each other, they sat down and said, "Yesterday I heard that the Crown Princess has a good news, and the court lady couldn't help herself, so I came to disturb you the Crown Princess early this morning, how could I know that the Crown Princess is better than the court lady? It's still early."
"If I had known that you were coming, wangfei, I would have come later, so that you can win the jackpot," the princess said with a smile, "it's really a sin."
"Forget it, even though I didn't get the jackpot, it's not bad to get the second place," Hua Xiwan said with a smile, "I was a lazy person, and it's very rare to get the second place today."
"It can be seen that the princess is pregnant, and you have changed your lazy temperament." The prince wanted to sell Hua Xiwan a good deal, and turned to the prince, "For the sake of the princess' hard work, you must be the prince. Give her the best snacks, she likes these little things to eat and drink the most."
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "My cousin gave me such a face, how dare I be slow, Shuyun, hurry up and serve the best dim sum and the best tea, and treat our princess well."
The three were talking and laughing, no one mentioned the prince, only good things, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
It's just that Hua Xiwan always felt that there were other emotions in the Crown Princess's smile. Could it be that she was worried about the child's father
After about two cups of tea, someone led Princess Shengjun in, Hua Xiwan saw that there seemed to be a few more people serving in the room, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
This is to prevent Princess Shengjun
Princess Shengjun greeted her in a proper manner, with a proper smile on her face, which made it impossible for people to see that something was wrong. Her behavior was too careful for the people in the Prince's Mansion.
Seeing this situation, Princess Xu Wang Shizi and Hua Xiwan felt a little boring, and they were afraid that something would really happen to Princess Shengjun, so they simply found a reason to leave.
After leaving the main courtyard, the two looked at each other and smiled. Although they didn't talk much along the way, they felt that they were particularly in harmony and tacit understanding.
When they parted, Concubine Xu suddenly leaned over and whispered in Hua Xiwan's ear, Hua Xiwan's face stiffened, and then her smile returned.
When she got back into the carriage, the smile on her face disappeared.
"It is rumored that it is difficult for the prince to have a son."
This is the original words of Princess Xu, but there is too much information in these words.
Since it is difficult for the prince to have a child, who is the child in the prince's womb
