Chapter 3 The Palace
The prince was the first royal child Jiang Cailing got to know. When she was still in her infancy, she was often taken to the Cuiwei Palace to be kneaded by the queen's aunt. The prince was the first to bear the brunt and regarded this porcelain doll-like sister as a doll. Once, he even threw her on the carpet. She hated the prince, which probably stemmed from this.
Dad always said that he didn't respect the prince enough, and he would suffer a big loss in the future. She stuck out her tongue, so what about the prince? In the future, she would be hiding in the mountains and forests with that man. The sky is high, the water is vast, the emperor is far away, and no one is afraid. Now that I think about it, , is also ridiculous.
This time the prince was completely defeated, but she felt pity for the first time in her heart. She wished she could get into his cell, pat him on the shoulder and say, "Thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi. The days will be long in the future. Who says there will be no chance of a comeback?" ." The thing she was least afraid of in life was to start over again, but looking at the dejected prince, he was extremely disheartened. If he was killed in the sky prison, the lives of more than twenty members of the Jiang family would also be buried with him.
But after all, the prince listened to his father's words, and the previous discussion cheered him up. This time he said to Shen Muchi who came for interrogation, "This matter is a plan of one person in the palace. The Queen Mother will also go there." Report, the forced uterus has nothing to do with the Jiang family."
The Jiang family members all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but Shen Muchi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You know this is not the answer my father wants."
"But this is the fact." The prince said solemnly. Jiang Cailing's lips curled up slightly. It turns out that a child can be taught.
What happened was exactly as she expected. When the Queen Mother heard that the matter had nothing to do with the Jiang family, she immediately put pressure on the emperor. Ministers from the Jiang faction in the DPRK also jointly launched an attempt to rescue Jiang Xiang. The emperor imprisoned them for another ten days in the name of investigation. He was released after no results were obtained. The prince was not so lucky and was demoted to a commoner and exiled to the border, and was not allowed to return to the capital for life.
Cailing didn't know what happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as she walked out of the prison, she was invited to the carriage of Prince Qin's Mansion.
Later, I heard that although his father did not personally participate in forcing the palace, he was accused of being an incompetent assistant to the prince and was demoted to Shu. She had been to Shuzhong once when she was a child. Although the mountains were steep, the air was fresh and the streams were sweet. There was a fat cat with black and white fur, and it was so cute. She had always wanted to keep one in the backyard. She could spend half a day just watching it take a nap while drinking tea.
Shen Muchi didn't allow her to step out of the courtyard. Prince Qin's palace couldn't keep her. He Yue's Qinggong was so easy to lift her that she could fly over the walls easily. But that day, Shen Muchi came suddenly and didn't even enter the house. Drinking a cup of tea in the yard gave her enough time to hide He Yue. After she hid her nervous mood and walked out with a fake smile, he slowly said: "If you want to leave this place, Of course the king won't stay. But you also know in your heart that they don't necessarily want you to follow."
She frowned but still smiled, "What are you talking about, Your Highness? How can a father not want his daughter?" After saying that, she looked into his smiling eyes for a moment, and finally said dejectedly: "Then What should I do? If you let me go home, I will go to Shuzhong with you."
He was right. How could his father, who was keeping a low profile to save his life, want such a flamboyant person like her by his side? Furthermore, did the emperor really want her to marry Shen Muchi because he was interested in her humility, gentleness, kindness, and virtuousness? The purpose is simply to put the most valuable member of the Jiang family under house arrest in the capital. In such a huge capital, the most suitable place is Prince Qin’s Mansion. It’s funny to say that there are three legitimate sons and three concubines of the Jiang family, and the one who worries the emperor the most is actually She is a weak woman. Is it Jiang Men’s misfortune or her great fortune?
Jiang Cailing sighed, "That's fine. I didn't want to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. From the room in Dongxi Tower, I can always see Baique Pavilion, which is annoying, so I will bother you in your mansion for a while. When His Highness gets bored, I will go to the Prince's Mansion."
Buy a house nearby, and from now on there will only be harmony between you and me as neighbors." She took the teapot from his hand and took it into the house to drink.
He Yue waited for a stick of incense before leaving. There was no one in the courtyard, and the number of guards on the handle outside the courtyard door also changed from eight to two. After more than half a month, because she was quiet and not causing trouble, the two guards suddenly disappeared.
Without any trace of her, she could walk around the Qin Palace as she pleased.
The pond in that corner was very similar to that of Ziwei Palace, with the same red railings of the nine-curved corridor, the same white lotus and purple lotus. She leaned under the willows on the river bank and watched a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water. The weather was slightly cooler at the end of September, and the close-fitting
The girl's name was Manyun, and she put a moon-white cloak on her shoulders. She gathered up her clothes. Although the texture was soft, it was not as smooth as Jiangnan silk. She glanced down and said calmly, "This is not my clothes." She said.
I love bright colors and never wear moon-white clothes.
"The girl came into the house in a hurry. The house didn't have time to prepare suitable clothes for the girl. If the girl likes anything, Man Yun can go tell the steward and buy it tomorrow," Man Yun said.
"That's not what I meant." Although she entered the mansion in a hurry, several carts of dowry had been delivered to Prince Qin's mansion many days earlier. It would be understandable if Shen Mu had coveted her boxes of jewelry, but could her old clothes also be there?
I want to detain him together. It seems that she needs to find an opportunity to have a good deal with him.
"Miss Biluo..." Man Yun bowed her knees to the east. Then she raised her head and looked in the direction of the visitor. She saw that the person coming was wearing a emerald-colored brocade patterned skirt, with light and swaying steps. The skirt was the shopkeeper of Cuishanlou.
It was delivered two months ago, claiming that the fabric came from tributes from the Western Regions. She had always disliked the fact that the waist of this skirt was a bit tight, but she didn't expect it to be a bit loose when worn on Biluo. She had always envied Biluo's waist, and now she was even more angry.
"Why are you wearing my clothes?" I couldn't help but ask, but I realized that I had lost my temper. In the past, Caiqian would often steal her jewelry and clothes, but she would turn a blind eye and pretend not to know, and sometimes she would even laugh.
Joking, "You really look better in orange than me."
"Young lady, you don't know something." Man Yun pulled her sleeves and whispered, "These are gifts given to Miss Biluo by the prince."
"Why should he reward my things to others?" Cailing said angrily.
"Your Majesty, he..." Before Man Yun could finish his sentence, he saw that Jiang Cailing was already riding on Bi Luo. She looked thin but her brute force, which she didn't know where to come from, actually tore Bi Luo's dress to pieces. Bi Luo's entourage quickly came forward to pull her away.
He opened the door, but only heard her say coldly, "Man, I can give it to you! No need to talk about other things!"
Bi Luo cried all night after being humiliated, and Shen Muchi accompanied her attentively. I heard that he later ordered people to burn all the dowries and gave Bi Luo several boxes of jewelry. Man Yun said: "The girl and the prince have known each other since they were young, how can they not understand
As for the prince's temperament, if you just say a few nice words, this matter will be over." Jiang Cailing only felt sad for the painting of flowers and birds painted by a hermit in the box, which she had originally obtained from Tao Tao's trustee.
Now it is burned to the ground!
Early the next morning, he came to investigate the crime. Instead of getting angry or being detained as expected, he only said coldly, "Jiang Cailing, you know that I am jealous of you. But now that you are living under someone else's roof, do you still have the right to be jealous?"
"I advise you to stay in the house during this time and don't wander around." He turned to leave. She was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand. He didn't even look back, only turned slightly sideways, and the teacup fell.
It was shattered on the ground in the corner, and the sound of banging attracted the guards at the door to rush in. He didn't even look at the tea cup, and left with his hands behind his hands.
Rumor has it that the prince beat Jiang Xiang's daughter for Miss Biluo, smashed a lot of furniture, and warned her that if she dared to cross the rules again, she would not end well.
If he dares to take action, I will definitely set fire to Prince Qin's Mansion.
