The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(222)

These maids were full of imagination, so they didn't notice that the Princess Hui lying on the couch had horror in her eyes and her facial expression was a little distorted.

In fact, even if they saw it, they probably wouldn't think much about it. The Princess was born with a very strange disease. She was paralyzed on the couch and couldn't even move. Fortunately, she was born in the palace. If she was in an ordinary family, she would have died long ago. But from their perspective, the Princess didn't have many days left. Even if the prince was filial to his mother, he was still trying to get married.

"Mother, you are probably tired, so I won't bother you. Please take care of yourself. I'm waiting for you to drink this bowl of tea."

Zhao Zuo tucked the quilt for the Princess Hui, and told the maids a few more words before leaving.

The Princess Hui took a sharp breath and collapsed on the couch. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of small bones crackling. This is caused by being stiff for a long time.

"My queen, you've been working hard again. Take a break. I'll wipe your sweat."

Just letting the maids toss and turn her body, Princess Hui felt sad.

She used to be the crown princess, but now she is like this. He died, and it is said that he died miserably. This is said, of course, according to King Hui. When that incident just happened, King Hui would come to beat Princess Hui every day when he was drunk, and this is what he said at that time.

Princess Hui didn't want to live a long time ago, but she didn't have the final say on whether she could live or not. The royal family couldn't let such a scandal go, so she spent the first few days peacefully, and then one day she fell ill.

On the day of her illness, someone came to the palace, and Princess Hui was lying on the couch like this, and her son was also there, just outside the door. But she let the dog slave abuse her, and after drinking a bowl of medicine, she could only count the days like this to get through the days.

Princess Hui knew that she had given birth to a wolf. Zhao Zuo was very smart since he was young, but he was cold-hearted and didn't look like the prince's son at all. But she didn't feel anything when he didn't treat her well before, but now Princess Hui felt what it meant to be cold to the bone.

This kind of cold seeped into her bones little by little. Her son watched her being drugged without saying a word, but he came to visit her every morning and evening, every day, and even served her medicine. Now he is going to marry a wife for her.

Princess Hui was cold, really cold. It was the dog days of June, but she still felt cold.

"What's wrong with the princess?" The maid touched the shivering body of Princess Hui.

"Did you catch a cold from rubbing your body?"

"Help the princess put on her clothes quickly. If the princess has something else, the prince will definitely be more sad..."

"The prince is really filial..."

The sunlight sprinkled in through the semi-transparent window panes, casting circles of light beams on the ground. Princess Hui could only look at the floating dust floating in the light beams.

The day of Zhao Zuo's wedding soon arrived, and the wedding was naturally held in the Huiwang Mansion.

Several palaces came to congratulate him, not only the men came, but also the women and children of the family.

Unlike before, this time Yao Niang could clearly feel the warmth of the princesses to her, just like a family member, and even held her hand and said a lot of intimate words, which made her stunned.

In the end, it was Princess Qing who cleared her confusion, because Emperor Hongjing mentioned the words of brotherly friendship and brotherly respect three times, and this brotherly friendship and brotherly respect naturally refers not only to men, but also to women in the family, so the several palaces were unprecedentedly harmonious together.

The older ones played with the younger ones, without fighting or making trouble, and they were all very sweet and knew to call people. In the past, they would never take the initiative to call people unless the adults reminded them, but now they have changed.

The older boys were in the front yard, and the younger boys and girls were in the back yard, with their respective mothers. Princess An and others went to visit the Huiwang Mansion, and after returning, they drank tea and chatted. Several children of similar age were playing together.

"I'm afraid that my sister-in-law won't live for long?" said the Princess of Wu.

"Looking at her condition just now, I'm afraid she won't get well." Even the Princess of An couldn't help but sigh.

Several women were silent. They all knew what happened in the palace that day. They thought that the Princess of Hui might not survive, but they had never heard of it. They never expected that it would happen a year later.

"She is in such a state that it's more painful to live than to die. It's better to die." said the Princess of Lu.

The words were a bit harsh, but it was true.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about her. Why talk about these unhappy things on such a happy day? Let's talk about something else!"

Then several women started talking about other topics. Yao Niang and Xiao Jirou exchanged glances, and there was a bit of desolation in their eyes.

At the same time, the front yard of the King of Jin and others were also harmonious.

Including the King of Hui, who used to like to say inappropriate things the most, but today was his son's wedding, so he restrained himself a lot.

The King of Dai always felt that the King of Jin was looking at him. He looked over several times without making a sound, but the King of Jin didn't look at him. The last time, he couldn't help it and asked, "Old Five, why do you always look at me?"

The King of Jin looked at him and blinked.

Before the King of Jin could speak, the King of Lu started talking, "Third Brother, do you think that Fifth Brother seems to like to stare at people? Is it because you are often looked at by girls and you are a little oversensitive?"

This so-called girl should be in a story. Several brothers knew it, and they all laughed when they mentioned it.

The King of Dai said, "Forget it, you just make fun of Third Brother."

He shook his head with a smile, as if he was very helpless. He was born with a square face, narrow eyes, a hanging nose, and thick lips. In general, the King of Dai is the most honest among the brothers, and he is born with a peaceful face. He is neither like Emperor Hongjing nor Queen Wei.

Although the King of Hui is now fat and out of shape, before he got fat, he was also handsome and beautiful, combining all the advantages of Emperor Hongjing and Queen Wei. The King of Dai has been inconspicuous since he was born, and the two brothers don’t look like brothers at all.

This joke naturally diverted the topic, and no one mentioned it again, but after that, the King of Dai always went to see the King of Jin intentionally or unintentionally.

Let’s not talk about these. After the wedding wine, when Yao Niang and the King of Jin returned to the King of Jin’s mansion, it was already dark.

After washing and changing clothes, Hongchou came with a letter, "My queen, there is a letter from Jinzhou for you."

When she heard that it was from Jinzhou, Yao Niang immediately took the letter and read it. It was indeed a letter from her sister.

Before the end of last year, Yao Niang had someone send a car of New Year gifts to Jinzhou, and reported safety and recent situation. The guards who escorted the car also brought a letter to Yao Niang when they came back. The letter said that Hui Niang and Yao Chengdu were doing well, and the children were also doing well, so Yao Niang should not worry and live her life well.

The content of this letter was no different from the previous one, but there were a few more interesting things. Yao Niang wanted to laugh and cry, and she cried while laughing.

She missed her sister.

The King of Jin pulled her over and hugged her: "If you really miss your sister, take her to Beijing to live for a while."

Yao Niang wiped her tears: "No, there are so many things in Beijing recently."

"If there is something, it has nothing to do with them. You don't think that I can't protect a few people?"

"No, wait until the situation is better."

In Yao Niang's mind, the King of Jin should keep a low profile at this time. She is not afraid of her sister and brother-in-law, but if Li comes and gets involved with someone, it will cause trouble for the King of Jin. Besides, when she thought of her sister and brother-in-law coming, Li would also come, and she immediately lost all interest.

It must be said that Li was quite capable, leaving so many psychological shadows on Yao Niang.

However, when Yao Niang was talking to King Jin, she didn't know that the Yao family was already on the way, not only the Yao family, but also the Su family.

Speaking of this, it was about the car of New Year gifts that Yao Niang sent to Jinzhou during the New Year.

In fact, this matter was also arranged by King Jin. Yao Niang didn't say it, but she was actually sweet in her heart for a long time. For this, King Jin received many favors from beauties, of course, I won't mention it here for the time being.

The New Year gifts were naturally not only for the Yao family. The Su family was Yao Niang's natal family. Even if Yao Niang had a gap in her heart with Su Xiucai and others, as a daughter, she couldn't ignore it, so there were some New Year gifts for the Su family, but they were much less than those for the Yao family.

But it was precisely this New Year gift that triggered this incident. Sister-in-law Zhu had heard some rumors that the younger sister-in-law had climbed up the ladder. But it was just a rumor, and it was not reliable. She had gone to the Yao family to inquire openly and secretly, but Su Huiniang was unwilling to tell her, so she let it go.

Even if Yaoniang had picked up the most insignificant gift, how could the things sent by the royal palace be so bad? This pierced Zhu's heart, and she had to argue with the Yao family.

It just so happened that there was a troublesome Li in the Yao family. Although Li was now scared and dared not to investigate her daughter, it did not mean that she was willing to see Su Yaoniang well. It was obvious that Zhu was a blood-sucking leech, and Li would be happy if the Su family stepped forward to cause trouble for her.

So she gave Yaoniang to the prince as a concubine, and she was very favored in the palace. The cold-faced prince treasured her and gave birth to a son for the prince. She told Zhu all the stories.

When Zhu heard this, she was shocked. Her sister-in-law had become rich.

She knew her sister-in-law was no simple person, and this came true.

The King of Jin, the King of Jinzhou! God!

When Zhu came home, the Su family was shocked. Even Su Xiucai, who was so pedantic and disdainful of such things, was distracted after teaching students for many days. Zhu and Su Yucheng thought that since their sister had become rich, she would naturally help her brother and sister-in-law, so they wanted to come and seek refuge. But the place Yao Niang went to was too far away, in the capital. The two of them had no money and had never traveled far, so they dared not go on the road rashly.

So they could not help but think of Su Xiucai. They also knew that they treated their sister badly, so if they went, they would definitely not get anything good, but it would be different if their parents came forward.
