What happened in the Wenhua Pavilion was soon reported to the Queen by a palace servant.
After hearing this, the queen sighed inaudibly: "This child Yiqing..."
"Perhaps it was Mu Zhaoyi who angered Shengyan. The third princess was worried about the mother and concubine, and she felt uncomfortable, so she became impatient. It's just that I feel sorry for the little girl Tang..." said the maid next to her.
The queen shook her head and instructed: "After school, you can pick out some of the brocades that your majesty bestowed on you a few days ago, and a few from the head flowers prepared for Jing'an, together with the string of jade beads in the box..."
After thinking for a while, he added: "And then instruct the imperial kitchen to prepare a few cakes that Little Tang Tang likes and send them to Tang Mansion together."
The maid of the palace responded, and went to prepare without mentioning it.
Niangniang didn't say anything to blame the third princess, but her actions this time were one of the relief to the little girl Tang, so she was not dissatisfied with the third princess's actions.
For a whole day, the third princess held back her anger, but she couldn't let it out. Looking at the little girl who was surrounded and comforted by everyone, for a moment, she wondered if she really pushed her. .
But in that instant she woke up.
Impossible, she clearly didn't touch her!
"Perhaps she was frightened by His Royal Highness and fell down without standing up for a while?" The county magistrate of Jiaping raised such a possibility.
"How is that possible?! I'm not a man-eating tiger!" The third princess refused to admit it.
How can she be so delicate and fall down when scared
The head of Jiaping County pouted.
The way you looked at the time was not much different from a man-eating tiger.
However, she only dared to say this in her heart, and she only regretted that she had become a companion for this one, that is, with the fourth princess, or the eldest princess!
Xu Yunyao didn't expect that she would fake crying, and actually got a few pieces of woven brocade that the concubines of the harem had asked for. At the same time, that stinky little appearance made Wang Shi, Bi Wen and other girls hide their mouths and laugh.
Ruan's face did not show any joy, her lips were tightly pursed. Seeing her daughter's heartless smile, she felt even more distressed.
The thicker the reward, the more it shows that the daughter suffered great grievances in the palace. The daughter she loves in the palm of her hand is not as noble as a royal family member, but in her heart, she is far more important than a royal princess.
"One for my mother and one for my grandmother. I will keep one for clothes when I grow up." The little girl didn't know what she was thinking, and happily pointed to the three precious brocades to distribute.
When Ruan Shi heard this, he felt even more distressed. Wang Shi's eyes were even more wet, and she hugged her little granddaughter in her arms, and said lovingly, "Grandmother is too old to use such good materials. I will leave it to Baoya to wear it when she grows up."
Xu Yunyao thought about it for a while, but was not polite to her.
Anyway, with the temperament of the old lady, maybe she will get this one, and she will be coaxed by the big room when she turns her head. It is better to keep it for herself and make her a suit when making clothes in the future.
Naturally, Nguyen didn't want it either, so she just let Cuiwen carry everything into the warehouse and put it away, and give it to the little girl in the future.
When Tang Songnian returned in the evening, she told him about the Queen's reward, and finally said with concern: "Baoya is such a small child, she can't bear the slightest grievance at home on weekdays, but now she has entered the palace, There are many nobles in the palace, and she is young..."
She sighed: "How can there be a reward for no reason, and I don't know what grievance she suffered in the palace today, but I can't ask anything."
Tang Songnian frowned, not without worry, after thinking about it, he called his daughter.
Xu Yunyao jumped into the room in a good mood, and asked in a crisp voice, "Call me?"
Tang Songnian saw that her smile did not change, and his worries disappeared for a while, and he waved to the little girl, signaling her to come over.
Xu Yunyao didn't care about his actions like a kitten or a puppy.
Looking at this bright smiling face, Tang Songnian felt that the fatigue of the whole day was gone, rubbed her head and asked, "Does Baoya still want to enter the palace tomorrow?"
"Think! It's fun in the palace!" Xu Yunyao pretended to be innocent and cute, her eyes sparkling, and replied with a smile.
There is no reluctance or unwillingness, but full of expectations, it can be seen that there is no grievance in the palace.
Tang Songnian watched his words and expressions, and immediately felt relieved.
The little girl in the big room came back from the palace on the front foot, and the reward from the queen on the back foot came. Maybe she was jealous to a certain extent, but Li Shi was calm this time.
The other floor was also because she was busy fighting with Tang Bainian's new concubine recently, and she didn't have the mind to pay attention to the affairs of the third room.
Tang Bainian was so fond of this newly acquired concubine that he was so responsive to every request. On the other hand, this woman also has a lot of means, and she keeps Tang Bainian close to her.
Li looked for her a few times and couldn't get in trouble, but instead suffered a secret loss, and hated her more and more to death. And the concubine He, who was originally favored, was naturally unwilling to dote on the sidelines, and also exerted all her powers to compete for favor.
As a result, the scuffle between wives and concubines in the big room became more and more smoky, and she saw Wang shi shaking his head and sighing, and Ruan frowned frequently.
Xu Junyao was happy to watch the excitement, but after watching it for a while, he lost interest. It's all because the number of paragraphs in the dispute between the big house's wife and concubine is really too low, and she can't get into her eyes at all.
Mu Zhaoyi was so angry that she cried again when she learned that the third princess had made a commotion in the Wenhua Pavilion.
It's really a worry, it's this time, not to say to help, but to give her a whole moth!
I regretted it for a while, but I should have chosen the smaller one. Who would know that looking at the little girl who is about to be unable to support her, she has grown up safely and is used to pleasing His Majesty.
In the next month, Emperor Tianxi did not come to Xiqing Palace again, nor did he call Mu Zhaoyi to sleep. The palace servants of Xiqing Palace were worried about Zhong Zhong, worried that the master would fall out of favor completely.
But Mu Zhaoyi somehow calmed down. Instead of staying behind closed doors like before, she went to Fengzao Palace more often, which disappointed those concubines who wanted to see her jokes.
The Empress looked at her squatting posture, and sighed secretly, knowing that she didn't have to do this. Her Majesty's anger came and went quickly. In addition, there were so many opportunities in the day, and she didn't take the matter of the harem to heart.
But Mu Zhaoyi's sense of proportion is very good, silently doing her duty as a concubine, but she will not feel disturbed, and teach people not to pick out the slightest mistake. Over time, the Queen's gaze towards her softened a bit.
When Emperor Tianxi's reward arrived at Xiqing Palace, Mu Zhaoyi's eyes were red, and she almost didn't shed a tear.
Although this reward is shared by all the palace masters, it is not her only one, but His Majesty has not left her, which means that she has played a role in the empress's low-mindedness during this time, and His Majesty is no longer annoyed with her.
"Congratulations to Niangniang, as long as Niangniang persists for a while, His Majesty will change his mind." Tu Yi smiled and congratulated.
Mu Zhaoyi took her hand and said gratefully, "Thanks to you this time, if it wasn't for you to remind me that day, let Ben Gong start from the empress, I'm afraid how many people will laugh at Ben Gong at this moment!"
"This slave does not dare to be the empress." Tu Yi had a sincere expression on her face.
Mu Zhaoyi was even more satisfied.
Very good, a little clever but understands the duty, such a person can use it at ease. After a long while, she thought about the two talented people in the East and West Side Hall who were at the same age. The smile on her face gradually faded, and the worry between her brows deepened.
Whether she admits it or not, she is indeed no match for the delicate and delicate girl in her teens. In addition, she has not given birth to a child or half a daughter. The third princess she is raising now is not very reliable. What should she do
No, she had to think of another idea.
She frowned, then suddenly looked at the woman who was standing beside her with humbly lowered eyes, and took a serious look at the other person's face. Seeing that although she is not very outstanding, she also has a different charm of her own, and she can't help thinking.
It is better to support your own people than to benefit others. This Tuyi is nothing but a slave, and even if he is favored by His Majesty for a while, it will not pose any threat to him.
What if she was pregnant with a dragon seed and gave birth to a son... Her eyes flickered, and she already had an idea in her heart.
Although Xu Yunyao always accompanied the Fifth Princess when she was in the palace, she would secretly pay attention to the movements of the Xiqing Palace, and Mu Zhaoyi couldn't hide her from the empress' low-pitched behavior. She had to admit that Mu Zhaoyi was finally wise and found a way.
Emperor Taizong had a lot of love for the empress, and he was angry with Mu Zhaoyi last time. Nine times out of ten, Mu Zhaoyi's words involved the empress. Whether she was intentional or unintentional, in the end, she still angered Long Yan and pushed herself into a predicament.
"Yaoyao, that picture is the one in Mu Zhaoyi's Empress's Palace. I just saw her in Ming Cui Hall." Yan Wu floated back at some point, and whispered in front of her.
'What's so strange about this, she's a palace maid, and she's not banned from going out. Isn't it normal for you to see her? ' Xu Yunyao lazily took a bite of a snack.
"When I saw her, she was talking to His Majesty the Emperor!" Yan Wu floated around her.
"What did you say?" Xu Yunyao finally got interested.
"I didn't hear that. Anyway, I looked at His Majesty the Emperor and seemed to be in a good mood." Yan Wu replied.
Xu Junyao thought to himself: Could it be that Tuyi finally couldn't help but want to take action against Emperor Taizong? Although it is not a good time to choose at this time, it is not bad.
She hesitated for a moment, not sure if she needed to take action on Tuyi to teach her that she couldn't do anything. But if you think about it again, you might as well just take a look at it naturally, or you can infer what happened in the previous life from the experience of Tuyi in this life.
If everything still follows the trajectory of the previous life, then maybe one day in the future, Tuyi will meet the 'Xu Yunyao' of this life.
Wanting to understand this level, she leaned back on the back of the chair again, her short legs dangling, and she took a bite of the sweet and glutinous dessert from time to time.
Seeing that she didn't care, Yan Wu floated out to have fun again.
Another half a month passed before Xiqing Palace finally ushered in the holy chariot again. Mu Zhaoyi was so excited that her hands trembled, and she managed to calm down and stepped forward to pick up the chariot.
Emperor Tianxi's anger had long since dissipated, and seeing that Mu Zhaoyi respected the Queen during this time, the last reluctance was gone, so he set out to drive the Xiqing Palace that night.
This time, Mu Zhaoyi has behaved well. Apart from being considerate and waiting, she didn't dare to say any more irrelevant words. Emperor Tianxi asked about the schoolwork of the third princess in the recent period. Some gratification for her daughter's understanding.
Emperor Tianxi nodded frequently, and his expression gradually softened.
Seeing this, Mu Zhaoyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The palace servants had already prepared a fragrant soup and asked His Majesty to bathe and change clothes.
Emperor Tianxi got up and entered the clean room under the service of the palace servants. When his body was immersed in the hot water of moderate temperature, he closed his eyes and sighed in comfort.
Outside the hall, Mu Zhaoyi looked at the shocked Tuyi with a cold face: "What are you still doing here? Is it possible that the palace still can't point you?"
Tuyi stammered, "No, no, that's not what slaves and slaves mean. But Niangniang, Your Majesty is rarely here, you should..."
"It's not up to you to tell me what this palace is going to do!" Mu Zhaoyi was impatient.
She was feeling uneasy in her heart to push His Majesty, who had been waiting for so long, to another woman. Seeing that the other party kept delaying for some reason, the blockage became even worse.
Tuyi did not expect that she would actually let herself serve the emperor. Although she did have a desire to compete for the top position, she had already planned it secretly, but she hadn't put it into action yet. How could she have thought that Mu Zhaoyi would push such an opportunity to the top? in front of her.
She only thought for a moment to understand what Mu Zhaoyi was thinking, and snorted coldly.
She will definitely not be as she wishes, but she is unwilling to give up such a good opportunity. Of course, she would not allow herself to be pushed onto the dragon bed by Mu Zhaoyi like a cargo, so tonight, she must honestly do her duty as a slave, but not let her innocent body hand over in a confused way.
After all, it's really too cheap, and men won't cherish it if they get it. It is the best way to do it only if it seems to be falling out of place.
After she figured it out, she pretended to be aggrieved and blessed her body. She lowered her eyebrows and walked towards the clean room. Under Mu Zhaoyi's hateful, reluctant and sad eyes, she pushed the door and entered.
Mu Zhaoyi took a deep breath, barely suppressed the hatred in her heart, and asked the maid in a low voice, "Can I put things in?"
"Don't worry, madam, it has been put in!"
Mu Zhaoyi nodded, but felt as if he was bitten by an ant, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Emperor Tianxi in the clean room was closing his eyes and resting. He was busy with political affairs recently. He hadn't had a good rest for a long time. Now he was fuming with hot water, and the whole person was a little drowsy.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of soft hands resting on his back. He thought it was Mu Zhaoyi, so he didn't care. He also felt that those hands were rubbing his back seriously with a bath towel. That kind of strength was not Mu Zhao. What a pampered concubine can have.
He was about to open his eyes to see who was coming, when he suddenly smelled a sweet smell that seemed like nothing, and his lower abdomen was even tighter, but he suddenly woke up.
He stood up abruptly, pulled the robe on the side and draped it over his body, pushed away the blushing palace maid, and shouted angrily, "Bad maid!!"
Tuyi was pushed by him like this, and the whole person fell to the ground when he couldn't stand still, but he also recalled a bit of clarity in an instant, and was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty forgive me, this servant does not know. …”
"Come on, come on!" But Emperor Tianxi didn't want to listen to her, kicked the door open and called out loudly.
That night, the masters of the palaces heard that His Majesty left Xiqing Palace in anger again, and this time, different from the last time, His Majesty also passed an oral order to surrender Mu Zhaoyi to Mu Chongrong and ban him from the Xiqing Palace. There is no edict.
When Xu Yunyao came into the palace the next day, there was no Mu Zhaoyi in the palace, only Mu Chongrong.
Xu Yunyao raised her eyebrows and asked Yan Wu to walk around the harem, collecting various rumors in the palace about the Xiqing Palace last night. After Yan Wu vividly told her the gossip she heard, she roughly filtered After reading it again, combining Tuyi and Mu Zhaoyi, no, Mu Chongrong's temperament made him smile unkindly.
It turns out that the clothes in the previous life were probably the same as last night. They were folded into the hands of the clever Mu Chongrong, so she had to give up the idea of becoming Taizong's concubine, and went to the Prince's East Palace to find another way out.
She suddenly felt that it was also a good experience to watch Fangyi Tuyi and the others struggling around like spectators.
Days passed, and after months of getting along, the princesses and companions who were still somewhat unfamiliar gradually became familiar with each other. Perhaps because the adoptive mother was demoted, the third princess was unhappy, and mostly kept her face straight. Except for occasionally saying a few words to the county magistrate of Jiaping, no one paid any attention to her, and no one was pleasing to the eye.
Except for Xu Yunyao, who was from the lowest background, all of them were the arrogant daughters of heaven, so naturally they would not be willing to stick their hot cheeks against her cold ass. At the beginning, the eldest princess took the initiative to talk to her because of her status as the eldest sister. It could be seen that she was still ignoring her, so she was also annoyed.
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, the third princess became more aggrieved, and the more angry she felt in her heart. Seeing Xu Yunyao was very unpleasant, but she was afraid of the fifth princess who protected the little girl tightly.
Xu Yunyao was amused by the fact that these little girls in front of them were angry with each other and even quarreled, but because they were still young, they had not yet been involved in too many conflicts of interest. .
It's just that as each other grows older, more interests are involved. Even if they greet each other with a smile, they have to consider whether the other party has other thoughts.
She glanced at Xu Wanjing and Peng Yuqi who were talking in a low voice. The smiles on the faces of these two are still sincere, I'm afraid they will be a few years older...
"What is the little girl looking at me for?" Xu Wanjing asked with a smile, sensing her gaze.
Xu Junyao smiled sweetly at her: "Look at Sister Wanjing's good looks."
Seeing that Peng Yuqi was also looking over, she cleverly added another sentence: "Look at Sister Yuqi's good looks too."
Being praised by such a cute little girl who gave birth to Yuxue, both Xu and Peng couldn't help laughing.
"Look at this mouth, it's like smearing honey, no wonder the fifth princess likes you so much." Peng Yuqi laughed.
"I like Xiao Tangtang without honey." The fifth princess poked her head over and said quickly, then turned her head and continued to write.
Just now, the eldest princess and the second princess discussed that they want to play shuttlecock in the garden, but the fifth princess has not finished her homework, so the royal sisters of Yang will wait for her and go together after she has written it.
The eldest princess and the second princess are naturally all right. Although the third and fourth princesses are not happy, it can be seen that they agree to do so.
Hearing her words, the second princess teased: "You still have the heart to pay attention to what others are saying, so you can see that the schoolwork is almost over?"
"It's coming soon, second emperor, don't be arguing, there's one more piece left, just one more piece." The fifth princess's hand holding the pen moved quickly, and the fourth princess came over curiously to take a look, and suddenly clicked her tongue.
"Sister Fifth, what did you write?"
The dragon flying and the phoenix dance, and it is said that it is a painted talisman, I am afraid that some people will believe it.
But the fifth princess has no time to answer her words now.
The eldest princess also came over curiously, looked down at the stack of large characters written by the fifth princess, and was speechless for a long time.
The third princess snorted, and naturally she saw the 'ghost painting talismans'.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the fifth princess finally wrote the last stroke, threw the pen, and clapped her palm happily: "It's done!"
Xu Yunyao was unable to play with them. She is the youngest, and the two older princesses are worried that she will be hurt, while the third and fourth princesses dislike her short hands and feet and will only hold her back.
Xu Junyao didn't care either, picked some flowers and plants and sat on the stone bench to make a wreath.
This is what she learned from an old mama in her last life before she entered the palace, but now her ten fleshy little fingers are not very flexible.
But even so, Xu Wanjing, who was sitting quietly beside her and watching her movements, was surprised, and even Peng Yuqi and Zheng Yan not far away were attracted.
"Sister Yao, I didn't expect you to do this." Peng Yuqi said in surprise.
Xu Yunyao pursed her lips and smiled, and said crisply with the little pride that belongs to a child: "There are so many things I know!"
Xu Wanjing burst out laughing, and the county magistrate of Jiaping, who was looking over, snorted disdainfully and turned away.
The five princesses over there, who were supposed to be having a good time, looked at the shuttlecock hanging high on the branch with difficulty, and the little palace maid who was instructed to fetch tools to poke the shuttlecock down came with a long whip.
When the fourth princess saw it, she scolded: "What an idiot, what's the use of a whip? Could it be that you can beat it down?"
The little palace maid was about ten years old, with a round face, she whispered, "But, but I only found this!"
"Look for it again to see if there are any bamboo poles or sticks," the eldest princess said.
"I'll knock it down!" The fifth princess mischievously took the whip from the little palace maid's hand and threw it hard at the shuttlecock embedded in the tree, only to hear an 'ouch' in pain. Instead of hitting the shuttlecock, she was beaten down by her own whip, which made her grin.
"I said no, but I don't believe it. Are you at a loss now?" The second princess said angrily.
"You deserve it, but you are stupid!" The fourth princess gloated.
"I'll take it down for you!" Suddenly, a glutinous voice sounded, and when everyone looked back, they saw Xu Yunyao coming over at some point and picking up the horsewhip thrown by the fifth princess on the ground.
"Don't, don't, don't, please don't, the Fifth Emperor suffered a loss just now, you can't come again." The eldest princess hurriedly stopped.
"Let her come, but she is brave!" The third princess snorted softly.
"Sister Yao, you can't do this kind of thing, be careful to hurt yourself." Xu Wanjing and others also stepped forward to stop it.
Xu Yunyao smiled at them, and then made a face at the third princess while no one was paying attention. She successfully saw the third princess' face change, and then she raised her hand, and everyone only heard 'smack'' Clap' twice, and then watched helplessly as the shuttlecock fell to the ground along with several broken branches.
Princesses: "..."
Companions read: "… "
Looking for the bamboo pole, the servant who came in a hurry: "..."
Only the fifth princess was stunned for a moment, then rushed towards the little girl who was patting the stained leaves on her body with a pair of short hands.
Coincidence right? It's all just a coincidence, right? The others looked at each other, looking at the fat white girl who was being held by the Fifth Princess, and such an idea popped up in their hearts.
No matter what everyone thinks, Xu Yunyao, as the fifth princess's little companion, has already begun her "happy days" in the palace.
Time flies, three years later, in Pingdong County, Lin'an Prefecture, far away from the capital, in Zeng's house on the sixth lane in the east of the city, thirteen-year-old He Shaoting, as the younger brother of the bride, carried his cousin Fang Jie'er out of the house step by step. , took her to the wedding sedan.
Behind him, Mrs. He, who was obviously a little sick, looked at the distant sedan chair with tears in her eyes.
"Auntie, go back to the house!" The boy walked over to help her and whispered.
