Soon after Jiang Lingzhou returned from the Xu family, he heard that the king's concubine had lost his child.
Strange to say, this is the fourth time something has happened. In the past, the pregnant concubines gave birth to children due to accidental collision or inadvertent eating of incompatible foods. To say it was a coincidence was too much of a coincidence.
Some people said it was the regent who was involved, others said it was Concubine Liang who was doting and jealous, and some people said it was Empress Lu who had a vicious heart. There are various opinions, but there is no serious evidence, so we can only speculate.
The Empress Dowager Fang always wanted Xiao Wuchuan to have children sooner. Unexpectedly, these concubines had accidents one by one. Xiao Wuchuan has not had a son and a half so far. She is a woman with a soft temper and no drastic measures. She cannot find out who is stirring up trouble in the palace, so she can only go to the temple to worship Buddha.
In the past, when a concubine gave birth to a child, the Queen Mother would go to Daguangming Temple in person to pay her respects. Firstly, I pray that the unborn emperor¡¯s heir can reach the Pure Land as soon as possible, and secondly, I pray that Xiao Wuchuan¡¯s descendants will continue to have long heirs and enjoy eternal blessings.
The same was true for the concubine Wang¡¯s miscarriage this time. Both Queen Mother Fang and Queen Lu, who were in charge of the Sixth Palace, could not find out anything. Empress Lu secretly suspected that Concubine Liang had done something good. Although Concubine Liang was favored by the Holy Spirit, she had never been able to conceive. According to Liang Guifei's high-spirited temperament, it is very likely that she would do such a low-level thing.
¡° She just sighed that she couldn¡¯t catch Concubine Liang, so Empress Lu could only knock out her teeth and swallow the blood, watching Concubine Liang continue to dominate in the West Palace.
Queen Mother Fang sat in the palace for two or three days before going to Daguangming Temple to worship Buddha. In order to be sincere, she always brought the female members of the Xiao family with her. The queen in the palace, the concubines with special status, the princesses outside the palace, and the famous concubines all had to go with them, and Jiang Lingzhou was no exception.
Jiang Lingzhou is not averse to going to the temple, but the thought of meeting Liang Guifei gives her a headache.
The night before leaving for Daguangming Temple, she saw Jian Jia packing up her luggage and sat on the couch with a gloomy expression. Xiao Junchi happened to come into the room, holding a newly made rosary in his hand. Seeing this, he asked: "The princess looks like this, but have I offended the princess again?"
"I'm going to see Liang Luhui tomorrow, I'm sorry," she said.
"I'm annoyed with her too," Xiao Junchi laughed and dismissed the maids in the room with a wave of his hand, "but my nephew puts her at the top of his heart and dotes on her. If you touch Liang Luhui, my nephew can dance for three days."
When Xiao Junchi mentioned Xiao Wuchuan, Jiang Lingzhou thought of what happened to the Xu family.
At that time, Xiao Wuchuan asked her if she knew the reason why Xiao Junchi married her. Jiang Lingzhou recalled carefully, and there was indeed something unclear - when Xiao Junchi asked to marry her, the situation of the Wei army was very good, the blade was pointed directly at Huating, and a prince of Qi State was captured. He broke through the gate of Huating and drove straight in.
If she really ends up in that situation, then she will be a subjugated princess who can be abused by others.
But at that time, Xiao Junchi suddenly sent an envoy to say that he wanted to get married.
If you insist on saying it, you can also give a reason - for example, Wei has been waging war and the people are in dire straits. Xiao Junchi no longer wants to harm the lives of soldiers and wants to cultivate his health. But Jiang Lingzhou always felt that it was not that simple.
"Your Majesty, I have a question." She tugged on Xiao Junchi's sleeve.
"You ask."
"My lordwhy did you ask for a concubine that day?"
She was a little embarrassed when she suddenly asked this question.
Xiao Junchi put away the rosary beads, smoothed his cuffs, and said slowly: "Princess, do you want to hear the truth, a lie, or a half-truth and a half-lie, or a half-truth and a half-truth?"
¡°Let¡¯s listen to lies first. Lies sound better,¡± she said.
"Well," Xiao Junchi said with a smile, "The princess has always been known as the most beautiful woman in the country. Jingling has been fascinated by it and has admired it for a long time. The army went south just to take the opportunity to marry you. As the saying goes, she will fall in love with you at a glance. When you live in a city, you should take care of your country."
"It's ugly!" she shouted, "What's the matter of 'overwhelming a country and a city'? The blame for family ruin and death is all blamed on women. Since ancient times, only incompetent people have talked nonsense like this."
"Xiao Junchi couldn't speak to her and was speechless. After a while, he said: "Yes, yes, the princess is right. Does the princess want to hear the truth?"
"Of course you have to listen."
"I'm afraid the princess will be angry if she hears this."
"not angry."
"Are you really not angry?"
"Then I said it."
Xiao Junchi coughed and said: "Things are a bit messy. Now that I think about it, I still feel guilty. The princess also knows that my nephew is a little pervert. He can't walk when he sees Liang Luhui. He forced Concubine Liang into the palace and made her a noble concubine. But Concubine Liang"
Xiao Junchi rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "It's also my fault. I loved to joke when I was young, which delayed her."
This statement made Jiang Lingzhou's ears stand up at once. "My lord, just tell me," she said with a gentle smile, looking like a generous Pingting, "I will never be angry."
"Concubine Liang once told me that she wanted to be a person above others, so I agreed. I thought that since she was the daughter of a sergeant and married into the palace and became a noble concubine, she could be considered a person above people; but she originally wanted to That¡¯s not what you want¡¡±
"Are you marrying the prince?"
"Yes." Xiao Junchi nodded, and then said distressedly, "I don't know what she thinks. I am a warrior, very vulgar, and besides having a small and powerful position, I have nothing to be happy about. My daughter, the eldest Wei I have always been sentimental and lively, but this time I became a little more sentimental and lively"
"Oh." Jiang Lingzhou said, "My lord, continue."
Xiao Junchi rubbed his forehead, feeling a little troubled, and said: "Forget it, it's okay that the princess doesn't know about these things. Knowing it will make her more upset, and I will handle it myself."
"Why are I upset?" Jiang Lingzhou's smile became more gentle, "The prince kept it secret and didn't tell me, so I was upset."
Xiao Junchi was silent, thinking for a while, and felt that what Jiang Lingzhou said made sense. So, he said slowly: "Later, Concubine Liang married into the palace, and her favor continued, but every now and then, she would order the palace maids to come to me. This was really outrageous, so I planned to marry a wife so that I could end her relationship. thought."
"So, the prince chose a concubine?"
"Yes. However, there is another reason for this." After Xiao Junchi said this calmly, he suddenly became silent again - he realized that he had said too much. After a while, he smiled and said, "Don't take it to heart, Princess. I'm talking nonsense."
Seeing that he refused to tell me "the remaining reasons", Jiang Lingzhou's heart felt like white claws scratching his heart. He went up and put his arms around his shoulders, shaking his arms and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, just tell me."
The beauty as snowy as jade hugged his shoulders and neck with her tender arms, and her fragrant fragrance made people's hearts tremble. Like a orchid candle with phoenix marrow added to it, it shines brightly; it is also like a golden reed that plays softly and the oriole sings softly.
Xiao Junchi almost listened to her obediently, but finally held back.
"What I just said was half-truth, half-truth, and half-truth. Princess, don't take it to heart." He hugged the soft and boneless waist in his arms, and rubbed his delicate and exquisite body up and down with his hands, his voice deepened. Some, "Tomorrow you will go to Daguangming Temple and stay overnight in the Buddhist temple, so you can't waste tonight"
Soon, the spring is warm, the flowers are blooming, and the jade is fragrant.

Setting off the next day, Jiang Lingzhou followed the Queen Mother to the Daguangming Temple outside Taiyan City. The carriages and horses of Xiao's female family members were arranged in a row, and the accompanying palace maids and guards were like a long queue. From a distance, the fragrant carriages, jade horses, golden cages and jade boxes are spectacular.
Jiang Lingzhou met the Queen Mother early in the morning and learned good news from the Queen Mother. Liang Luhui said she was ill and stayed in the West Palace instead of going to Daguangming Temple.
Jiang Lingzhou felt that the air felt much more comfortable at the thought of not having to see the resentful concubine in the palace.
A little woman like Liang Luhui has done nothing serious and cannot be punished. She is always verbally irritated and resentful, like an ant hiding in the cracks of beams and pillars. A knife can cut a big deal but it can't be hit with a broom. It's very uncomfortable.
The carriage was rickety and after driving for a long time, it arrived outside Taiyan City.
Daguangming Temple is hidden in the green hills ten miles outside Taiyan City. With roof tiles and eaves, it is extremely solemn and solemn. Because this temple is supported by the Xiao family, no outsiders go there on weekdays. Therefore, although the temple is grand and majestic, it is quiet and quiet.
The abbot and several young novice monks were waiting at the gate of the temple, waiting to receive this distinguished female family. Empress Dowager Fang got off the carriage with the help of the female officer, then gently took Jiang Lingzhou's hand and led her to the abbot.
"Master Mi Xing, there is no need to be polite." Empress Dowager Fang said with a smile, "This is the sister-in-law of the Ai family, Princess Jiang of Jingling."
Master Mi Xing has a long white beard and bright eyes. He is obviously an enlightened monk, which is why he is treated so courteously by the Queen Mother. The mage clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said to Jiang Lingzhou: "The poor monk has met Princess Jingling."
After the ceremony, Master Mi Xing led the way and led the group into Daguangming Temple.
Behind Queen Mother Fang were Queen Lu and three or four high-ranking concubines, as well as Princess He Wanqing of Haozhou and a stranger. Jiang Lingzhou glanced at the strange woman with his peripheral vision and asked Aunt Lan in a low voice: "Who is the woman next to Princess Haozhou?"
Aunt Lan, who has always been familiar with Taiyan's worldly affairs, was unexpectedly embarrassed: "This I don't know about this. I'm afraid it was only when I was in Jingling in the past two years that I became a female family member of the famous family."
Queen Lu had sharp ears. When she heard this, she smiled and answered for Aunt Lan.
"The Princess Regent doesn't know something. This is the concubine of the King of Haozhou, Pingshi, Chaoyun." She held the handkerchief, glanced at the Pingshi, and suddenly laughed lightly, with contempt in her words, " Her ancestral family is from Haozhou, and the family is engaged in business, so it is normal for the princess not to know about it."
She is the daughter of a businessman. No wonder Queen Lu looked disdainful.
Jiang Lingzhou thought like this, and suddenly felt that the name "Ping Chaoyun" was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)At this time, she entered the female family of the famous family. "
