"Who, who threw themselves into the water?"
"I don't know. It seems like the young lady from which family can't figure it out."
"Go down and save people, quickly!"
"How can you go to the imperial garden to throw water without worrying about hurting your family?"
…
Encountering the incident here, the ladies on the shore were chattering and having different opinions. The guards over there had dragged the unconscious He Yuxiu to the shore. Her clothes were soaked. It was spring again, and her graceful figure could be seen at a glance. Her hairpin was in a mess, with a few strands hanging on her forehead. She didn't look like a normal woman, but more like a crazy woman.
I don't know where the palace skirt was hooked, and a few pieces were torn, revealing the scenery inside, allowing the guards to feast their eyes on it.
Fortunately, this is the palace, no one dares to move, the guards retreated.
"This woman is crazy!"
"He must be crazy, otherwise he wouldn't go to the Royal Garden to jump into the lake."
"Do you recognize him?"
"I don't know him!" "I don't know him either!"
Everyone shook their heads. The He family had fallen into decline and could not enter the circle of wealthy families. She was also a foreigner, so no one would recognize her.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the Queen is coming!" Someone shouted in the distance, and everyone moved away involuntarily.
Surrounded by palace people, the queen came first, followed by Concubine Su and Concubine Zhao.
"What's going on?" the queen asked as she stood still on the ground and looked at He Yuxiu, who was soaked and thrown to the ground casually. Several eunuchs opened her long hair that was messily covering her face, revealing her s face.
Someone came over and whispered a few words in the Queen's ear. The Queen's expression immediately became strange. She turned back to look at Concubine Zhao behind her and said with a half-smile: "Concubine Zhao, look, is this from your natal family?" people?"
Concubine Zhao, who was a little slower than the queen, changed her expression slightly when she saw He Yuxiu. The clothes looked so familiar to her. Of course she recognized He Yuxiu. How could she not see him for a while? Her so-called niece looked at her Her unsatisfactory look made her stomach hurt for a moment, but when the queen asked about it, she couldn't bear to ignore it. Just now, she was still talking to the queen about letting He Yuxiu enter Prince Xuan's palace as a concubine.
At that moment, he stepped forward and bowed gracefully, and said with a soft smile: "I am the niece of my mother's family. She just entered the palace this time. She doesn't understand any rules. I am afraid she bumped into someone. I don't know who. Throw a girl into the lake, and someone will help Miss He down to change her clothes."
What she meant by this was that someone deliberately knocked He Yuxiu into the river. Compared with He Yuxiu's current situation, this was the best explanation. It put the responsibility on others and gave herself a reputation as a gentle and generous person. , Concubine Zhao has this wishful thinking here.
A eunuch and a palace maid passed by her, half-supporting and half-carrying He Yuxiu away.
The queen's expression was a little strange, and she slightly curved her lips and said, "Sister, you are so generous. Would you like me to help find out who knocked Miss He into the house? Miss He only met Concubine Zhao when she entered the palace for the first time. We were getting married, and something like this happened. It was the guards who rescued us just now, and our reputation was damaged. What should we do! Where is Prince Xuan..."
Concubine Zhao's face stiffened instantly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. She had been locked up in a deep palace for ten years. She was said to be protected, but she was actually imprisoned. She had no freedom in life. She finally got out of the Spring Breeze Banquet this time. How could she be willing to go there again? Guarding his palace for the rest of his life.
Others don't know, but she is fully aware that the emperor used to come to her to talk about his sister. As Concubine Xian's only sister in the palace, and she looks so similar, it is necessary for the emperor to miss Concubine Xian. , this is all her role, saying that in order to prevent the queen from harming her again, she was imprisoned in the palace for more than ten years. The tender expectations at the beginning have long since changed.
Now she just wants to appear in front of everyone as a beloved concubine, she wants to enjoy the gaze from above, and she wants to get greater rights. Regardless of her original motivation or her current purpose, she feels that she is the one who has the most right to enjoy it. The man of glory and wealth.
Over ten years, or in the Emperor's heart, she slowly entered Emperor Zongwen's heart. She felt that now she had taken the place of Concubine Xian. With her similar appearance and gentleness as Concubine Xian, she did not believe it. Emperor Zong Wen would be completely unmoved. In the past, he ignored her requests, but now he would let her appear in front of others!
She believed that with the emperor's change of heart, she could get more!
Of course, she also needs someone to support her. The He family that emerged at this time became her best tool. She used the He family to connect Feng Jueran and extend an olive branch of goodwill to him. Concubine Xian was gone long ago. His aunt was the closest person to him in the palace, so she could properly say some good things to him in front of the emperor.
If Feng Juoran can ascend to a high position in the future, her aunt can also ascend to the throne of the Queen Mother. This is all Concubine Zhao's plan. Of course, she took it for granted and forgot about Concubine Xian's death. That woman was just too stupid. As for Ji, he died indirectly in his own hands and even left his husband and son to himself. He was really stupid.

He Yuxiu is her niece who wants to marry Feng Jueran, and it is also the necessary means for her to establish a relationship with Feng Jueran, so she is so friendly to He Yuxiu, but she never expected that He Yuxiu, a stupid woman, would end up like this after she left her. Why didn't she get angry
Who was it that secretly sabotaged her plan? If she found out, she would never let him go.
There were so many guards just now, but they were all men. They were pulled up by several men, and even the skirts of their clothes were torn. This really ruined their reputation. How could such a woman marry into Prince Xuan's palace! Prince Xuan was The emperor's most beloved son, how could he be willing to let him suffer a little injustice
Thinking of what she hated so much, she couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly, but didn't show it on her face. She smiled slightly, and then followed the Queen's tone and said: "Thank you, the Queen. If the Queen can help my niece find the person who hit her, I will be here." Thank you very much, Queen. I pity her for being a girl with just enough hair. What does she know? Even if she accidentally offended something, it was unintentional. Why would she harm someone like this!" There was a hint of sadness on her face. It's sad, and there's a bit of vulnerability in the tenderness, which is very endearing.
It's just that the one present is not a human spirit. Concubine Su glanced at her sideways, quite amused by her shenanigans!
Everyone knew that she must have hated the person who knocked He Yuxiu down, but she still pretended to be generous and aggrieved, and she didn't know who to show it to. We were all women, and we really didn't like this charming look.
If we say that the most powerless person in the palace is Concubine Zhao, a concubine who has been locked up in the palace for more than ten years, besides one or two old palace maids, who else is there, so now the other concubines know through their own channels that it is Concubine Zhao. Xuan Wang Feng Juoran knocked someone down, but no one told her, they were all watching the show.
"Sister Zhao Fei, forget it, it's not a big deal if you accidentally bump into someone and fall into the lake. Just ask Miss He to pay more attention in the future." Wang Zhaoyi, who had just entered the palace, covered her lips with a handkerchief and persuaded with a smile. , throwing all the problems on He Yuxiu, a low-class girl from a small family, who collided with the arrogant Prince Xuan, it is strange that she will reap the consequences.
"No, Concubine Zhao, please don't hold on to this matter. The people entering the palace this time are all children of aristocratic families. They are all noble and extraordinary. Miss He has never entered the palace. It is normal for something like this to happen. Let's let it go soon. The emperor just needs a little warning." Another young concubine also looked at her and said with a smile.
Of course, no one knows whether Emperor Zongwen will reprimand Feng Juoran. Anyway, the master is an arrogant person. Anyone who offends him will be surprised if he doesn't peel off his skin. Everyone knows that he must protect himself.
What does it mean that she is holding on to this matter? What does it mean that she has never been in the palace? It is normal for something like this to happen. The smile on Concubine Zhao's face couldn't be held back and she was a little stiff. It wasn't the Queen who said she wanted to check for her just now. Why did it only take a while? The fault of time all fell on her, and it was her own lack of generosity.
She also mocked her mother-in-law's family for not being able to get on the stage. If they hadn't been locked up for more than ten years, they could be regarded as cultivating their moral character. Concubine Zhao could hold back. Even so, she pinched the maid's arm hard while holding her hand. The palace maid's face turned pale in pain, but she did not dare to make a sound.
The Queen took the topic gently and said with a smile:
"Sister Zhao Fei, it seems that the sisters don't want to cause trouble, so let's forget it. It's not a big deal. Just be careful next time."
"What happened here?" A majestic voice came from behind the crowd, and everyone turned away involuntarily. Emperor Zongwen appeared behind with a large group of people. Seeing that the queen and others were there, he walked over slowly.
"Your Majesty, my concubine's niece was washed into the lake. She almost died just now. Concubine, concubine..." Before the queen could respond, Concubine Zhao came over with tears in her eyes and said aggrievedly, with a pair of very similar eyes. Concubine Xian's watery eyes were both aggrieved and sad, which instantly captured the emperor's heart.
Completely ignoring the queen, Concubine Su and others were present, making everyone look at Concubine Zhao sideways. Is this what the eternal favor of a saint looks like
"Don't be afraid, my dear concubine, I am here and will make the decision for you." Emperor Zongwen took her hand in distress and comforted her gently.
For a moment, even the queen and the concubines present cast jealous eyes on Concubine Zhao.
"Your Majesty, go and check for Concubine Zhao. Who caused Concubine Zhao's niece to fall into the water? How come the harem is in such chaos? Who dares to come to a banquet after this!" Emperor Zongwen turned around and said displeasedly. .
This is not just a matter of investigating He Yuxiu, it is a slap in the face of the queen. She was ill a while ago, and Concubine Su helped handle the harem affairs. It is getting better now. She has taken over and handled it herself. Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days. , just because Concubine Zhao was reprimanded by the emperor, her dissatisfaction had already turned into cold anger.
However, the Queen's eyes did not show any displeasure. Instead, she smiled even more gently. She stepped forward gracefully and calmly and whispered in the Emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, Miss He Er behaves frivolously. When she saw His Highness Prince Xuan, she made teasing remarks. , was knocked into the lake by His Highness Prince Xuan, and I don’t know how to deal with it..."
Prince Xuan Feng Juoran is the most beloved prince of Emperor Zongwen. Who would want to offend him for nothing!
He had an extremely handsome face, and all the unknown women who saw him were obsessed with him and wanted to get close to him. There were also a few who were kicked into the lake by him, but in the past he was not so showy, and there were people around him who liked him. Save, so it didn't cause such a big mess, but why didn't Emperor Zongwen know that his son hated women the most when they looked at his face like a nymphomaniac, looking silly and silly!
"Miss He Er behaves like this!" Emperor Zongwen frowned and looked at Concubine Zhao with some displeasure. His son knew that it must be the Miss He family who had offended Lao Ba and caused such a situation. Disaster! "If this is really the case, let's do it!"
After saying that, he let go of Concubine Zhao's hand, turned around and left with the others, ignoring the matter.
It's not a big deal if the tearful Concubine Zhao is left behind, and it's not a big deal if she immediately follows her, or if she doesn't follow her!
I just felt that the other concubines nearby were all looking at the joke with mocking faces. They gritted their teeth and stepped forward to smile at the queen and said with a smile: "Queen, my wife, they are all the fault of my concubine. I have exhausted my reputation. They are all my brothers." If you don't teach him well, he will be sent out of the palace in a short while."
She clearly knew that she had no strength in the palace and all she relied on was the emperor's favor. She must not fall out with the queen at this time! Fortunately, she also has the Queen's handle. As long as she softens up, the Queen will not go out of her way to embarrass herself.
"I don't care about my sister in this matter. It's because I am unable to help my sister vent her anger." Sure enough, the queen sighed and replied casually with a gentle and generous look on her face, but there was no hint of sincerity in her sigh!
When the Emperor was here just now, Concubine Zhao looked extremely hateful... (To be continued)
