Family Has a Concubine

Chapter 402: Courtesy First, Soldiers Later (Part 1)

Qiuju has already made the bed, and turned her head to urge: "Third Grandma, it's getting late, go to bed quickly."

Although it's only Haishi, everyone is tired after a day's driving.

And they are not like Ye Tangcai, whose masters can wash hot springs. They still have to pack their things here, and they are already exhausted.

Huiran frowned when she heard Qiuju's slightly complaining tone.

Ye Tangcai also yawned: "It's getting late, let's all go to sleep." As he spoke, he stood up and went to bed to rest.

Huiran and Qiuju walked outside. This palace was originally intended for the emperor and the accompanying nobles to live temporarily, so it would be a bit crowded, so there are half-foot-wide Xiangzhu wide couches in the outer room, enough for two servant girls to sleep.

Early the next morning, Empress Zheng gathered people to the racecourse and asked the female relatives to learn how to ride a horse.

The entire racecourse covers more than ten acres of land, and there are patches of gazebos and corridors on the side for people to rest and enjoy the shade.

The racecourse was already full of excitement, there were handsome horses or pony horses everywhere, and there were eunuchs and nuns who knew how to ride horses in the palace, teaching the ladies how to ride horses.

For a moment, the entire racecourse was filled with the sound of warblers and swallows, and the colorful clothes fluttered, which was really moving and beautiful.

Emperor Zhengxuan actually came today and was sitting in the spacious main pavilion.

Behind him are two large golden canopies embroidered with dragons and clouds, and two court ladies are holding sun and moon fans crossed.

Ye Tangcai, Princess Xinyang and several other noble ladies were sitting in the pavilion next to them, watching those people playing around on the horse farm.

At this time, there was a sound of charming laughter, but seeing Princess Yue'an, Shangguan Yun and several noble ladies coming, Shangguan Yun said with a smile: "Young Madam, why are you sitting here, let's go to the horse farm to ride horses together."

Princess Yue An nodded again and again: "Young madam can't ride a horse? Bengong can, but I might as well teach you."

She is the most honorable princess born of the empress, and she never takes the initiative to talk to others, but Chu Yunpan is powerful now, and Empress Zheng wants her to get closer to Ye Tangcai.

Ye Tangcai smiled and said, "Thank you princess for your kindness, but I'm not feeling well, just sit down and be fine."

"Aren't you sick?" Shangguan Yun tilted her head.

"Uh..." Ye Tangcai covered her chest, "I was in a bumpy car for too long yesterday, and it made me feel sick."

"Oh." Princess Yue'an felt unhappy that Ye Tang had brushed off her face, but she still had a smile on her face: "Then young lady, let's rest here, Sister Shangguan, let's go."

Shangguan Yun frowned slightly, she wanted to sit here with Ye Tangcai and build a good relationship with Ye Tangcai.

But Princess Yue'an called someone, and she didn't want to take the princess's face, so she smiled and said to Ye Tangcai: "Mrs. Chu, take a good rest here, let's go play first."

As he spoke, he walked shoulder to shoulder with Princess Yue'an and left chattering.

"The third grandma is unwell?" Qiuju looked at Ye Tangcai with bright eyes.

These days, Qiuju has been worried about Ye Tangcai's pregnancy, and has read many books about pregnancy, knowing that pregnancy will cause nausea, inability to eat, vomiting, lethargy, or changes in taste and other reactions.

Qiuju has been paying attention, but Ye Tang's picking is quite normal.

Qiuju is naturally anxious.

Now hearing that Ye Tangcai actually felt sick, Qiuju couldn't help feeling excited.

But last time when Ye Tangcai was sleepy in autumn, Qiuju whispered to Huiran whether Ye Tangcai was pregnant, but Huiran scolded her, so Qiuju didn't dare to talk nonsense.

And she herself was standing in that position, so she couldn't say it out loud.

"Since the third grandma feels unwell, why don't you ask a doctor to take a good look at it." Qiuju said courteously, "By the way, the emperor has brought several imperial doctors with him, and they are all here anyway, how about Please come and have a look."

"No big problem." Ye Tangcai said flatly. She remembered that Chu Yunpan had said before leaving that he would teach her how to ride a horse when she was free, and she wanted to wait for him to come back and take him with him.

Qiuju was not happy in her heart, she just pursed her lips, she was anxious whether Ye Tangcai really got it, but she couldn't be too eager.

Seeing Ye Tangcai refuse now, I feel bad, but after thinking about it, the third master is not at home now. Even if it is discovered, there is nothing to be done.

Qiuju laughed and said, "It's just not hot today, the weather is cool, and the sun here is abundant. It's also good to sit here and breathe fresh air."

Just as he was talking, there were bursts of exclamations not far away. Ye Tangcai looked over there, and saw Liang Wang and Zhao Yingqi coming out together.

Many noble ladies sitting in the gazebo looked at him with bright eyes. Liang Wang has a charming appearance, a romantic personality, but also a cold side, and the ladies love to look at him.

Zhao Yingqi was following behind him, looking listless.

At this moment, Cai Jie ran over and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the Emperor is calling for you."

Liang Wang raised his eyebrows lightly, and strode away.

Zhao Yingqi quickly followed him, and King Liang entered the main pavilion. Zhao Yingqi hurried to Ye Tangcai's place, sat down next to Ye Tangcai, and hugged Zhao Yingqi's arm: "Sister Tang."

Ye Tangcai smiled: "You can come today."

Zhao Yingqi said, "The queen's birthday."

Ye Tangcai understood that this was also a formal occasion.

Over there, King Liang was invited to sit beside Emperor Zhengxuan.

King Liang looked at Emperor Zhengxuan lying loosely on the big chair, and raised his sword eyebrows.

"Oh, I really want to be like you young people, riding a horse and chasing outside. I don't know how happy it is." Emperor Zhengxuan said with envy on his face.

"Oh." Liang Wang sneered.

"It's a pity...Look, my body has collapsed into this appearance." Emperor Zhengxuan coughed twice after speaking. "Look, even your two uncles are healthy and strong."

Ye Tangcai was sitting not far away, she also listened, and looked up, and sure enough, she saw two old men in their sixties riding horses, strolling happily.

"Ahem... I have worked too hard, that's why I became what I am now." Emperor Zhengxuan said with a wry smile and shook his head, "I often envy them, they don't have to bear the heavy responsibility of a country, and their status is noble and leisure. "

Liang Wang only looked at the two old men indifferently, but a pair of strong eyes flashed ridicule.

"What's so good about being an emperor..." Emperor Zhengxuan coughed fiercely again, causing pain in his lungs and chest. Freedom, no health, like a puppet, busy for this country, for the people, and hurt yourself."

As Emperor Zhengxuan said, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, thinking of the pain and fuss that he had been in the highest position for decades.

His tone was full of endless complaints: "It's not a war in the Northwest, it's a war in the Southwest, spring floods, floods, plagues...cough cough...and then desperately trying to find a way, every time this happens, I'm thinking, I finally got through it Yes! But the next year...continue again! I struggled so much that I wanted to scream, but in the end I didn’t even have the strength to struggle, because these things cannot be stopped, and they happen every year. It’s like a bad pot, not here It's broken, that's the hole on the other side, just blocked this side, and the other side opened again. Endless! As long as you sit in this position for a day, you have to repeat these shitty things endlessly, and you can't escape if you want to. Look at you Those two emperor uncles are so chic every day, I don't know how leisurely they are, I am really envious to the extreme."

Liang Wang's handsome face was already as cold as ice, and his red lips raised a mocking sneer: "And then?"

"Zhenger..." Emperor Zhengxuan looked at him deeply, "You are the son of me and her, and the best gift she left me. From childhood to adulthood, I was the first I think of you. The following tribute items, I let you pick first every time. I want to leave the best things to you. No matter what you think, think I want to compensate or something else... I hope you Live happily. You suffered too much when you were young, so...cough, cough, I don't want you to continue to work hard in the future, so that I can be worthy of my sister Xiao."

Thinking about it, Emperor Zhengxuan burst into tears. Now he just wants their son to be happy.

"Have you finished?" Liang Wang smiled lightly.

Emperor Zhengxuan's old face recognized the sadness, and he remained silent.

Liang Wang looked cold, and said: "I'm going to ride a horse."

After saying that, she stood up, strode towards Ye Tangcai and Zhao Yingqi, grabbed Zhao Yingqi, and Zhao Yingqi gave Ye Tangcai a pleading look, but was finally dragged away tearfully Alright, I went to the racecourse.

The people below had already brought King Liang's horse, and King Liang stood up, put Zhao Yingqi in front of him, and kicked the horse forward.

Emperor Zhengxuan looked at King Liang on the racecourse, frowned deeply, and said to Cai Jie in a low voice: "Tell me, Zhenger, can he understand me? Look..."

Knowing what Emperor Xuan was thinking, Cai Jie shook his head: "Your Highness has a cunning personality and insists on going his own way. Even if he knows it's wrong, he has to hit him head-on."

Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes were complicated, and he nodded with a look of "it's true", "I knew... no matter how much kindness others have, he won't accept it."

Ye Tangcai could hear the conversation between Emperor Zhengxuan and King Liang quite clearly. If you were an ordinary inner house person, you might not understand their relationship, but Ye Tangcai understood it very well.

Seeing that he was going to die, Emperor Xuan wanted to hand over the throne to the crown prince, so now he actually persuaded Liang Wang to be kind, and persuaded Liang Wang to voluntarily give up.

In fact, it means: I am going to die, and the place is for your brother. Not giving it to you is for your own good, you should understand my painstaking efforts, don't be a demon.

Ye Tangcai also laughed.

There was a sudden commotion at the racecourse, Ye Tangcai was startled and looked up.

I saw Liang Wang and Zhao Yingqi riding around in circles, turning around, Zhao Yingqi disappeared.

The people behind shouted: "My lord, my lord, your princess is gone!" "

Liang Wang Junmei's face darkened, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhao Yingqi fell to the ground, and felt completely humiliated, this stupid woman couldn't even sit on a horse.

Thinking about it, he reined in the horse and walked back with "dede", bent over and picked her up, and hurried away in front of her.

Ye Tangcai was a little speechless. Looking at the excitement over there from a distance, the autumn wind was blowing a bit bit bitterly, and thinking of Emperor Zhengxuan's words just now, she always felt as if she had forgotten something very important.

On the fifth day of November, after holding a banquet for Empress Zheng in the palace, everyone hurriedly boarded the car on the sixth day of November the next day and returned to Shuocheng.

During Emperor Zhengxuan's trip, he took Luo Yizheng's medicated bath, but it had no effect at all.

On the return trip, Emperor Zhengxuan was already a little bit unable to get up.

Ye Tangcai is the same as when she went back, drawing a car with Qin Shi and Chu Miao.

Chu Miaohua chirped with Ye Tangcai: "Why didn't sister-in-law ride a horse yesterday?"

Ye Tang smiled: "I was a little tired when I came here, so I didn't go out. Have you learned it yet?"

There was a sarcasm in Qin's eyes, why are you pretending to be delicate! But he dared not speak out.

"I've almost learned it." Chu Miaohua's face was a little excited, "It's a pity that I'm going back now, and the time for this trip is too short. I heard that when the emperor was in good health, there was autumn hunting every year, and once he went, he had to go to the autumn hunt." More than half a month. Although we are not autumn hunting, we are traveling, even if there is no half a month, it will take ten or eight days, and I don’t want to return in only four days.”

Qin coughed dryly, "Since it's the Empress's birthday, it's destined to be so early. Because it's November."

"What November?" Chu Miaohua asked puzzled.

Qin said: "November 13th is the anniversary of the death of the former empress. On that day, there will be a ceremony in the palace. The emperor has a deep affection for the former empress, so there will be a big event."

When Ye Tangcai heard this, she was startled. These days, she always felt that she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it.

Now hearing Qin's rephrasing, Ye Tangcai was enlightened instantly.

The first queen's death day! Yes, it was this day, she heard about it in her previous life.

At this time in the previous life, she had already been sent to Zhuangzi, but Qiuju and Huiran still never left her.

Around mid-November, I remember that there were a few persimmons outside Zhuangzi’s house, and the autumn oranges were picked for her, and I told her some outside things to pass the time: “A few days ago, the queen’s death day, the prince The poisoning...it was a big mess, the whole capital was shocked, and finally it was found out that the murderer was..."

At this time, the head of the village outside called Qiu Ju and called her out to work.

At that time, she was also sick and dazed, and she had no interest in interesting things like Qiuju, and these things were not related to her, so she didn't take them to heart.

Thinking about it now, Ye Tangcai shuddered all over.

At this time, who will poison the prince?

The crown prince is poisoned, who suffers the most? The eldest son of the emperor, King Lu? King Liang?

It is obvious that the king of Lu is sick and a concubine. Although he is the eldest, his name is not right. Therefore, the biggest benefit is the first wife's son Liang Wang.

Therefore, Mao Tou will point directly at King Liang.

But combined with the current situation, the plan of Liang Wang and Chu Yunpan was not to poison the prince, but to seize power by force. Because the prince was poisoned to death, Emperor Zhengxuan would not establish the king of Liang. But the people don't think so, they only think that the prince's death will benefit the king of Liang.

Qiu Ju's words didn't go further, but if I guess now, it would be: find out that the murderer is King Liang!

Therefore, that would be a strategy to frame King Liang.

I also remembered the "heartfelt words" that Emperor Zhengxuan said to King Liang yesterday, which obviously meant: "I advise you to give up! If you don't give up, then don't blame me for being rude!"
