Su Mingyue looked up, and saw a young man in brocade clothes dismounted from his horse, threw the whip in his hand to the eunuch at the door, and he raised his long legs and stepped across the threshold.

Wei Xiangwan had already stepped forward and knelt down, "Princess help!"

Su Mingyue heard that it was the princess she called, and when she took a closer look, the person who came had a face like a crown of jade, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and how she acted like a woman, but with a handsome face and a clear and clear voice just now, she was indeed a woman.It's just that this woman dresses up like this, and brazenly rides her horse and whips her whip in the palace. She must be of high status, and she speaks her mind, so she must be saved today.

"Oh, my sister-in-law doesn't need to do such a great gift." The visitor helped Wei Xiangwan up, and looked at the group of people again, "My sister-in-laws, may I ask which opera this is from?"

"Concubine Hui is going to kill someone!" Wei Xiangwan pointed at Concubine Hui, then rushed forward to protect Su Mingyue who was on the ground, "She wants to kill her own sister."

"Why?"

"What kind of sister, she's just a little court lady who steals things. I said Princess Zheng didn't go to visit Concubine Shu first, she would come to Yanqing Palace to join in the fun." Concubine Hui was very polite to Princess Zheng Yes, with a smile on his face.

"I was planning to go to Concubine Shu. Along the way, I heard people say that there is excitement in Yanqing Palace. You know me. Where there is excitement, you can't miss me. I heard that Chang'e is flying to the moon. Palace, where is Chang'e, where is Chang'e?" After speaking, she walked over and squatted down, lifting Su Mingyue's face for a closer look.

"Oh, I must have seen this sister somewhere."

Concubine Hui rolled her eyes.

Princess Zheng Guo waved her hand, and said "go, go, go" to drive away the court lady and eunuch who was holding Su Mingyue, she respectfully helped Su Mingyue up, wiped off the ashes on her body, and checked Has the whole body bumped against each other, "Chang'e and the hairy thief are talking about you, right?"

Su Mingyue hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted, "As for the princess, I am Su Mingyue, from Gusu, and the younger sister of Concubine Hui. She invited me into the palace a few days ago, and I came here, but for some reason, my relatives don't recognize me now. You have hurt me several times."

"You don't know, I know." Princess Zheng poked Su Mingyue on the bridge of the nose, very frivolously, "She just wanted to see that you are beautiful, and she was afraid that the emperor would take a fancy to you and not want her, so she acted first. .”

Concubine Hui's face turned pale, red, and dark with anger.

"Such an iconic beauty!" Princess Zheng shook her head, "If you say you are a thief, God will not agree, God will not agree, and I, Han Chengying, will not agree."

Concubine Hui resigned, "You can't just say that someone is beautiful because they didn't steal anything?"

"What did she steal from you?"

Concubine Hui was choked for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Some jewellery."

"Pearls and hairpins are nothing. It doesn't matter if it's gold or silver. I'll just pay you." As Princess Zheng waved her sleeves, her eyes kept staring at Su Mingyue's face, "Who are you here?" , Keep an account for Concubine Hui, if there is anything missing, just take it to me. I don’t know about my brother, the emperor. There are good treasures here, if you like it, you can take it as you like, don't be polite to me."

Concubine Hui saw that the general situation was over, it was useless to falsely accuse Su Mingyue of stealing things now, with the support of Princess Zheng Guo.

"Then look at the beauties slowly, I'm tired, so I'll leave first." Concubine Hui flicked her sleeves, "Qiu Shui, Mother Wu, let's go."

"Hey? Don't rush away!" Princess Zheng said, holding Concubine Hui and pulling Su Mingyue over together. She first looked to the left and then to the right. She is a beauty, and I want to be an emperor too."

"Princess! Be careful!" Hui Fei shouted.

"My kidneys are very good, please trouble my sister-in-law to take care of me." While speaking, Princess Zheng Guo didn't keep her hands idle, she kept holding and kneading the hands of the Su family sisters, taking advantage of it.She is obviously graceful, but doing this obscene behavior is not annoying, but rather interesting.

"Beauty Qing Ben, why are you a thief?" She sighed quietly, "The two younger sisters are going to steal my heart."

Sometimes she was a sister-in-law and sometimes a younger sister, and Concubine Hui was a little annoyed, she forcibly pulled her hand back, but it was Princess Zheng who was so strong that she failed to release her hand several times.

"Jingxian, you used to be the most beautiful woman in the harem. When you get angry and murderous, you will be even more beautiful. But you can't be jealous. Jealousy makes you lack self-confidence, so you will lose a little bit of beauty."

"Jealous ass!"

"Aren't you jealous of her? If the emperor pampers her, aren't you jealous?"

"There are three thousand beauties in the harem. It doesn't matter if the emperor favors anyone. Why am I jealous? I am magnanimous, quiet, virtuous and virtuous. Besides, what you said about the Yanguan harem is inappropriate. If you want to talk about the people in the Yanguan harem, who is better than the queen? "

Princess Zheng smiled when she finished speaking, and quickly nodded in agreement, "But the queen lives in Qixia Temple all year round, and Yanguan Harem said you are not wrong."

"Enough joking, can you let go?" Concubine Hui has tolerated it to the limit.

How could Princess Zheng be willing to listen? The more Concubine Hui was annoyed, the more complacent she became, and she just talked to herself, "I said this sister looks familiar, and it is because you two sisters have similar eyebrows and eyes."

"Similar ass, I don't have the slightest similarity with her." Concubine Hui snorted.

"Give me some face, you sisters can make peace today."

"For the last time, she's not my sister."

"Isn't that good..." Princess Zheng looked troubled, "Don't tell me you want to call her sister?"

Concubine Hui felt that she couldn't stay any longer, if her hands were not tightly pinched, she would have left long ago.

"You hurt me!" She said coquettishly, Princess Zheng couldn't bear it suddenly, and let her go.

Concubine Hui led all the troops to evacuate in a hurry, Yanqing Palace finally turned the corner, and Su Mingyue knelt down, "Thank you Princess for saving my life!"

Princess Zheng Guo didn't restrain herself, she still held Su Mingyue's slender hand, "Then would you like to make a promise with your body?"

Concubine Ning finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, let's talk in the room, the sun is so poisonous, it's going to make me faint."

Only Wei Xiangwan applauded, "Sister Mingyue just came out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den!"

"Are you praising me or scolding me? I'm a wolf?"

"You are not a wolf, who is a wolf? You are a pervert!" Wei Xiangwan patted her other hand, trying to make her let go of Su Mingyue.

"If you say it's a wolf, then it's a wolf. I just happened to eat you."

"It doesn't matter if you eat me, how many times have I been eaten by you, don't touch Mingyue sister, you will scare her to death!"

"You little brat, why do you still care about people calling you younger sister?" Princess Zheng seemed to like to poke the tip of the girl's little nose the most.

"I've asked. We were born in the same year. I was born in August and she was born in February. I'm not the older sister, but she is the younger sister."

Princess Zheng laughed loudly, "Is it because it is eight to two?"

"That's natural."

"Okay, okay, just be this good sister." Princess Zheng hugged her left and right, hugged her [-]-year-old sister and sister, and sat in the brocade building, and there was a beautiful little maid she brought with her. Serving, really romantic and happy.

After some more teasing, the princess got up to say goodbye. She walked out of Yanqing Palace in a graceful stride, swinging her whip, got on her horse, and left in a hurry.

Only then did Concubine Ning feel relieved and sent Princess Zheng Guo away. She quickly ordered someone to lock the palace gate, and no one could come in or out today, lest Concubine Hui would kill her.

Su Mingyue and Wei Xiangwan almost cried in each other's arms. They just walked before the gate of hell, and they narrowly escaped death.

"Concubine Hui is domineering, and the emperor will let her do it. She can't rely on her beauty. Fortunately, it is Princess Zheng who is here today. If it were someone else, it might not be able to save you." Wei Xiangwan was shocked and patted Chest, I want to eat candied fruit cakes to suppress my shock.

"Princess Zheng Guo is really unique. When she first appeared, I thought she was a prince and aristocrat. Who would have thought that she was a daughter! She is really a strange woman! She can ride around in the palace, so she must be very big. Do you have a background? Tell me quickly."

Wei Xiangwan was going to sell it, but because of her childish nature, she couldn't wait to say anything in her heart. How could such a joke be sold, so she made every detail of the behavior of Princess Zheng Come on.Occasionally, Concubine Ning would interject, always saying: "Am I right, am I right?"

It turned out that Princess Zheng was the emperor's younger sister, and she was the most favored in the early years when the emperor was alive.Who knew that when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, his temperament would suddenly change. From then on, he liked to dress up in men's clothes and wield knives and guns.By the way, fortunately, she is a womanizer.But after all, she is also a daughter, so she took advantage of the beautiful concubines in the harem by being nympho, and others only thought she was joking and didn't take it seriously.The emperor also followed her temperament, no nobleman in the palace could ride a horse, let alone carry weapons, only Princess Zheng could come and go freely regardless of the palace rules.Because of this, she also did a horrible thing.

Speaking of this, Wei Xiangwan deliberately paused.

Concubine Ning saw that she was frothing, and offered her tea.

Wei Xiang didn't even bother to drink tea, "Have you heard of Concubine Yuan Gui?"

Su Mingyue nodded, "I heard, didn't this imperial concubine pass away?"

"Then do you know how she died?"

Su Mingyue shook her head, "I heard that he died of illness, could it be something else?"

"Death due to illness is only a rumor outside the palace. The harem has a unified caliber and no rumors are allowed. Only a few people know about it. She was stabbed to death by Princess Zheng!"

Su Mingyue was horrified, thinking that just now, the princess of the Zheng Kingdom, her sister-in-law, Ankang, who had a smile on her face, seemed to be a caring and caring person, but she stabbed the emperor's brother's concubine to death with a sword, and she was able to escape without punishment?

"I have only met Concubine Yuan Gui a few times. In my impression, she is a delicate and sickly beauty. Even when she speaks, she sounds like a mosquito. It turns out that the emperor loves her very much, and the queen is also very kind to her. She even gave birth to a dragon." Son, this is the eldest son of the emperor, and the prosperity and wealth will be limitless in the future. Who wants to know people, face and heart, because the queen is also pregnant and is about to give birth to a son. The Chu, the ghost was infatuated and poisoned the queen. The queen was also in poor health after the miscarriage, so she moved out of the palace and moved to Qixia Temple to recuperate. At that time, the queen was poisoned, and Princess Zheng was beside her. All the maids and eunuchs involved in the incident were taken down, and she personally interrogated them. After following the clues, those people confessed to Concubine Yuan Gui. Princess Zheng was in a hurry, with bare feet and disheveled hair, she raised her sword and went straight to Xing Xing like a living hell king. Qing Gong, when he saw Concubine Yuan Gui, he stabbed down with his sword and shouted, 'I'll kill you poisonous woman!'"

Concubine Ning said: "She is telling the story, and I have never seen the truth. After Concubine Yuan Gui passed away, her child was demoted by the emperor to be a commoner, and brought back to Bashu by the mother clan. It is said that they will never be allowed to enter Beijing."

Su Mingyue said: "It seems that Princess Zheng and the queen's sister-in-law have a very strong relationship."

"Princess Zheng Guo did not say anything to the queen, but the queen is very kind to everyone in the palace."

"The empress can be the mother of the world." Su Mingyue said.

Wei Xiangwan interjected, "It's motherly respect, the queen herself seems to disapprove of it, she is not friendly to the concubines in the harem for the sake of motherly respect, she is just like that. Otherwise, what do you say?" How could Princess Zheng be so determined to her?"

Su Mingyue was surprised, "Princess Zheng is so devoted to the queen?"

Wei Xiangwan spoke enthusiastically, "That's right, didn't she start dressing men's clothes in the fifteenth or sixteenth year? It is said that it was at that time that she met the queen who was of a similar age, and the queen had already led the army to fight at that time."

"I've heard of this. The queen was born in the general family, and there are four older brothers on top. The Liang family is full of heroes. The old general Liang once fought with the emperor. Today's country is built by the emperor and empress together."

"Yes, during the years when the queen fought, Princess Zheng He was by her side, and the relationship between aunt and sister-in-law was extraordinary. And when King Yan and his wife got married, Princess Nanyang was already twenty years old. In other words, the age of marriage is too early. **The emperor found a good marriage for her, and betrothed her to Zhongqiying Zuo Duwei, who was the later Xinwu General Gu Changfeng with jade face and flying tiger. Who knows The son-in-law and the princess had a big fight on their wedding night, and blood was almost spattered in the bridal chamber. Since then, the son-in-law has been promoted from Captain Zuo of Zhongqiying to General Xinwu, and has never returned home. Here, Princess Nanyang was granted the title of Zheng The princess of the country has been walking around in the harem, and rarely returns to her princess mansion. By the way, have you met General Gu?"

Su Mingyue shook her head naturally, she was in the Su Mansion almost without leaving the gate, and the empress's background was only known a little after hearing about it from her second sister Su Jingzhi.At that time, I only felt that the words "Queen Liang Guanjing" could not be compared, and I didn't know anything else.Occasionally, the Su Mansion invites the stage troupe to come, and when the opera sings about the female general of the Yang family, she occasionally wonders if the current queen is as heroic as Mu Guiying, commanding thousands of troops with the commanding seal.It was so grandiose and intense, and it was so out of reach for a concubine like her who lived in a boudoir.

"I heard that General Gu is capable of both civil and military affairs, and his talent is stunning. He is matched with this overlord-like Princess Zheng. That's really... Cao Cao met Jiang Gan when he was on the back, and porridge when Hu Dou was on the back. It's bad luck."

"You feel sorry for General Gu?" Concubine Ning was surprised, "I saw you flirting with Princess Zheng, and the flowers were trembling, talking nonsense, completely out of control."

"The princess is an interesting person in the harem. You see, she saved sister Mingyue today. Even if she is a wife, it is really outrageous. I think she only has Empress Liang in her heart, but it's a pity that she is a woman. What can I do? I can’t earn my life.”

Su Mingyue asked again: "Then how does the queen treat Princess Zheng?"
