With a slight movement, Ling Zihan fell into Xuanyuan Huang's strong arms.
Lowering his eyes, Xuanyuan Huang stared at the flawless face of the person in his arms, and evoked an evil and seductive smile like Satan: "Qingqing, we still have some unsettled accounts!" He leaned close to his ear and spit out a burning smile with an evil smile.
He breathed heavily, tickling her auricles, and added mischievously, "Let's talk in the room?"
Settle accounts?
In the room...
Her blood was rising, and Ling Zihan, who was a first-time wife, had no reason not to understand such a simple and deep meaning in his arms. With her face red, she got into his arms, turned away, ignored all the eyes, and let
Let him hold you and leave.
And those scorching gazes will not disappear because of neglect. The gazes filled with various emotions follow the two of them, like thorns on their backs. However, Xuanyuan Huang, who is walking steadily and looking only at his beloved wife, seems to be completely unaware.
, he walked around the screen, passed through the corridor surrounded by long gauze curtains, and stepped into the back room where dragons, phoenixes and red candles were burning.
In the main room, all the stewards looked at each other in disbelief, exchanging the unspeakable secrets in their hearts. Finally, they looked at the chief steward Gu Fu inquiringly, but received a look of affirmation, and sighed in their hearts——
This palace is about to change.
Most of the concubines started talking about Xuanyuan Huang's departure.
The two people slightly in front were obviously well-dressed, with dazzling red lips and snow-white makeup. But at this moment, their faces under the makeup were either white and blue with coldness, or red with anger.
"Sister Liu, your lord...are you going to force us to death?" The woman, who was relatively younger and whose original appearance was unrecognizable with exquisite makeup, held on to the armrest of the chair behind her and fell down on the chair, like a puppet that had lost its strings.
, his eyes were dull, even looking at the other woman in front of him a little distractedly.
Glittering tears were welling up in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.
The woman who was called Sister Liu obviously took great care of this smaller woman. She reached out and stroked her fine and shiny hair that she had carefully combed, and coaxed her softly: "No, I'm just going to another hospital. Sister.
Haven’t you heard the story about the beauty hidden in the golden house? Your Majesty probably wants to imitate it too!”
But having said that, when her eyes left the woman and turned to the screen that Xuanyuan Huang passed by when he left, her eyes instantly became ferocious and cold, as if there was a trace of anger ignited at one moment, but it turned away at the next moment.
Turned into ashes, only the pain that seems to be despair is left, remaining in the smile at the corner of the mouth.
"Bah, Liu Ruyi, you can tell this kind of thing to deceive a child. Stop dreaming about the beauty hidden in the golden house. If we go to another courtyard, we will be buried there for the rest of our lives! Are you still thinking about the story about the beauty hidden in the golden house?
?Haha, the words "Golden House Hidden Beauty" are not bad for our new princess!" The woman who was closer to them spoke quickly, without her usual timidity at all. Even the steward was present,
Not afraid either.
Anyway, they were about to be sent to another courtyard. As victims of the family, they should have had this consciousness since they were sent to the palace like objects. Sooner or later, they would have to face the cruel fact.
The other concubines also followed suit——
"Yes, yes, Liu Ruyi, you can't protect Sister Zhuang like this. She will have to face what she should know sooner or later. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you are reluctant, let's talk about it."
"That is, let her stop daydreaming about crows flying on the branches. How could a humble merchant's daughter be sent to the prince's palace if it weren't for her family's wealth?"
"Wake up, Sister Zhuang, there is only one phoenix in this palace! It is the princess who is dear to the heart of the prince, the enchantress of the Ling family"...
Three women perform a play, and if five or six women gather together, they can probably form a troupe.
While they were chattering, someone who didn't know who it was suddenly screamed, interrupting the noise of everyone accusing each other, and pointed the finger at the person who caused the trouble.
"It's all those two bastards Ren Xia and Wulu Jiayi. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have to leave the palace at all!" Maybe we just don't have to leave so quickly.
For them, their use value is that they are in the palace, and because of their status, they will be "supplied" by the family. Now, as long as they are sent away, it is no different from the concubines in the palace being thrown into the cold palace.
, everyone in the family will naturally not spend money to raise a loser. Of course, one can imagine what will happen to them in the future after they are used to living a life of fine clothing and fine food.
"It's all that bitch's fault for angering the prince."
"If they hadn't provoked the princess, how could the prince have brought us like this?"
"..."
Accusations and denunciations became more and more intense.
Ren Xia, who had been disheartened when Xuanyuan Huang left, listened to the accusations from all sides and looked at the youngest sister Zhuang who was crying more and more violently. She sneered and thought to herself: Everyone wants to
She stayed in the palace, but... no one knew at this moment how much she wanted to leave. Even if she had to be imprisoned outside for the rest of her life, she was willing to do so.
After today's experience, she finally understood one truth - the devil cannot be messed with.
Amidst the noise, Jinghao, who had originally left with the prince and princess, returned to the main room.
She heard the noise here in the corridor. She quickened her steps and entered the house, only to see the concubines surrounding Ren Xia. They were cursing each other in an extremely unpleasant way.
Unconsciously, I frowned and sighed that the young lady was so knowledgeable.
These so-called well-educated and well-educated young ladies always say that they were abandoned in the wilderness and have the evil deeds of being born without a mother. But look at their faces and their dirty words, which are comparable to those in the wilderness.
How much more powerful is the shrew of the earth!
How ironic.
"Sister Liuyun," Jinghao shook her head helplessly, walked quickly towards Liuyun, whispered a few words in her ear, then pushed away, then bypassed the group of women, and turned her head from behind the screen behind the seat.
After walking around two pillars, he found the chief steward behind the beaded curtain, blessed her, and then leaned over and spoke in his ear.
Gu Fu nodded, stroking his gray beard, turned to look at the stewards, blinked suggestively, and made a coded gesture.
Two of the younger stewards nodded in response as if they were ordered to do so. They turned to look deeply at Jinghao. One of them even raised his lips and smiled, then lifted the curtain and walked over. The leader was the boss.
In a flat, calm tone, he said to the women who were still arguing: "My concubines, it's getting late, let's look back today! The princes and princesses have to rest too, in the main courtyard
The rules cannot be broken."
There are no idlers in the main courtyard, and those who stay overnight are only close friends. This is the rule of the palace.
As soon as this sound came out, the quarreling woman's voice suddenly paused, and the whole room became quiet. But in just a few seconds, they started arguing again, and this time the spearhead turned to the two stewards, scolding them one after another.
Said they were not qualified to discipline them.
The two stewards were quite calm and didn't seem to care at all about their rude insults. One of them smiled very kindly at the women and held his hand towards the woman who scolded the loudest: "Madam, the rules of the palace, you
From the day I entered the mansion, I understood why there was any need to embarrass us slaves. Today, let’s take a look while it’s early in the morning. Go back and pack your things. It’s time to leave in a few days.”
"Presumptuous! It's not your slave's turn to make irresponsible remarks about what we are going to do. No matter what we do, we are still the prince's people, so..."
Before the woman finished expressing her "high opinion", the smiling man bowed his hand humbly, but his expression was full of arrogance, "If I don't want to leave, I can only ask someone to help me."
I gave my wife a hand and sent her away."
Before he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound, and ghostly figures descended from the sky, all wearing black clothes and hats. They subdued the noisy women one by one, and at the same time said "I'm offended", and quickly
He tapped their sleeping points, and with the hint from the steward, sent them out of the main courtyard.
After all the women who were to be sent to another hospital left, the man who had been smiling seemed to sigh in relief, and then glanced at Ren Xia, who was still sitting on the ground and feeling sorry for herself, his eyes full of mocking contempt.
Turning around, he whispered something to another cold-faced man, then turned to Ren Xia, leaned down and said: "Madam, I will take you to where you should go, okay?"
Hearing the sound, Ren Xia gradually raised her head, her dull eyes focused at that moment, flashing an indescribable sadness.
She lost, lost to her own greed, and lost to the superior woman.
But at this moment, she didn't feel as happy as when she defeated those women in Leng Yuan, and she didn't feel any sadness at all. She just felt chilled. She remembered the time when she begged her father to send her to the Nine Princes' Mansion. That year.
She would rather be a concubine than be close to Xuanyuan Huang. She is not satisfied just standing in the attic
She went up and watched him leading the army to the capital from a distance. However, her heart was wrong. And her mother, who had a long-term view, had told her long ago that she would go crazy for her.
As a choice versus forcing, you have to pay a price, a heavy price... Now, I probably have complied with my mother's words!
It's retribution.
She looked down at her hands. They were white hands, delicate and clean, and they looked like the hands of a rich lady who had never touched the spring water. But she knew that it had long been filled with the smell of blood, and the lotion could not wash it away.
Even after it was washed off, the paper covered under her body still showed her past sins.
She is a disgrace to the family.
"Mrs. Concubine?" the man's voice came again.
Ren Xia held her hand on the ground and stood up with the last bit of strength. She nodded to the steward, then looked at Gu Fu outside the curtain and said to him: "Manager Gu, please tell the prince that I know that I have committed a serious crime. I wish to
I will bear the gift. But I beg the prince not to embarrass my concubine’s family.”
After saying that, she looked back at the messy papers scattered on the ground, then turned to look at Liu Yun who was standing there like a door god. Looking at her iceberg-like face, she finally lowered her eyes and swept her peripheral vision towards the person who was covering her face.
The screen in the corridor connected to the inner room sighed lightly, and said as if realizing, "It may not be a bad thing to leave."
He immediately followed the steward and left without any struggle.
But when she left the main courtyard, she suddenly stopped, stood in front of the main courtyard door, and looked back.
Looking at the majestic main courtyard, she clenched her fists, biting her lower lip while resisting the pain of despair in her heart.
Two and a half years... Unknowingly, she was imprisoned in this mansion for two and a half years.
Spring passed and autumn came, but when the third autumn came, her dream came to an end. No, perhaps it should be said that it came true. She did indeed step into the gate of the main courtyard and the place where he lived as she wished.
For this purpose, she not only spent her youth, but also consumed all her innocence, forcing herself to a dead end.
Eat your own consequences.
"Haha," Ren Xia laughed out loud. She recalled that when she first came to the palace, the grass was everywhere, willows and cherry blossoms were flying, and pomegranate flowers, which symbolized many children and grandchildren, were in bud. But now the autumn wind swept,
To be continued...
