little fool's child bride

In just three days, the news that Xiao Xiao married a man as a child bride-in-law a year ago spread all over Wangcheng. I don't know how many literati sighed, and how many young ladies were filled with grief and indignation.Xiao Xiao is very talented and learned, but his reputation among literati is as high as ever, and even this reputation has been improved because Xiao Xiao, a threatening competitor, is missing from the literati's courtship; but between the young lady and the common people, However, Xiao Xiao's reputation has dropped a lot.The ladies held grudges because of Xiao Xiao's disorderly acceptance of handkerchiefs, but the common people were baffled——

"People say that poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be subdued. This Mr. Xiao sold himself to the Jiang family as a child bride-in-law because of lack of money. How can he be a good person?" A person in the teahouse snorted, "I heard that the Jiang family is the richest man in Ancheng. Mr. Xiao, don't go for the property of the Jiang family!"

"That is to say," a guy with a mischievous eyebrow nodded, "I have secretly followed Xiao Xiao's carriage to see his house. Such a large garden, a doctor in the Imperial College can afford it? It must be money from the Jiang family!"

The tea guest sitting near the two had already quietly pricked up their ears, and couldn't help interjecting when they heard this: "More than that! Do you know who he married? It's the second master of the Jiang family, a ten-year-old fool!"

"Isn't this just for the money!" The person who spoke first slapped the table angrily, "Damn! It's a shame that I worshiped him so much before!"

Everyone in the teahouse was attracted by the shouting, and those who knew what had happened hurriedly added fuel to everyone's "science popularization" about Xiao Xiao's stains, which triggered a new round of "fans turning black".However, this was just the beginning, one pass three, three pass nine, until seven days later, when Xiao Xiao was thrown into the carriage by someone, she didn't know how bad her reputation among the people was.

"pain!"

Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth while frowning and said, "Couldn't you be gentle, Xie Lao?"

Liu Kaize rolled his eyes, and replied impatiently: "If you are afraid of pain, apply the medicine yourself, but if you become a big face, don't blame the old man, I won't help you!"

That's right, this stone hit Xiao Xiao's face. Fortunately, Liu Kaize was in the carriage today and gave Xiao Xiao a hand, so it was extremely dangerous that the stone didn't hit his eyes.But the eyes were fine, but the forehead suffered a swollen lump from the stone that was the size of a quail egg, and a few bloodstains were also scratched.

"If it wasn't for the lack of a mirror, would I need you to do it?" After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, she felt that Liu Kaize pressed the swollen bag hard again, so she groaned in pain.

Liu Kaize looked at the honest Xiao Xiao with satisfaction: "You can also wear a small bronze mirror, isn't that famous handsome man Wei Jin from the previous court?"

"It's just that he died a bit miserably. It is said that the wife of a certain high official who was seduced by him made a human and bled to death."

Xiao Xiao felt goosebumps on her back when she thought of Ren's appearance, so she rubbed her face to tell Liu Kaize not to say this.

"Then let's talk about something else." Liu Kaize put away the porcelain bottle after taking the medicine, "You said that suddenly so many people poured dirty water on you this time, is it because the Rong family is doing something wrong?"

Xiao Xiao bit her nails and thought, and felt that it was impossible for her to suffer such severe retaliation just because of her marriage. After thinking about it, she thought that it was the Rong family who found someone to control the public opinion.But when the two of them returned to the yard and saw the stone-throwing man caught by the dark guard, they found that this was an iron-headed boy who wanted to show off his prestige after being encouraged by others. He didn't know what the Rong family was at all.

"Is it really not the Rong family?" Liu Kaize was full of disbelief, thinking that the old fox Ying of Rong hid too deeply, so they didn't catch them.It's a pity that he didn't expect that the Rong family would have the energy to deal with Xiao Xiao?Although Xiao Xiao is in the limelight now, in the eyes of those high-ranking officials, he is just an eighth-rank official with some literary talents!When Rong Zuo received the news of Xiangcheng's victory in World War I, he began to fight for Rongyu, discussing the disposal of the prisoners of war and the signing of the agreement between the two countries.Empress Rong is even more busy, because she is about to give birth.

Empress Rong had extremely high expectations for this child. After all, no matter how she was favored, wouldn't Concubine Lan be the one to act as a domineering concubine without the child?That is to say, something has happened between the prince and Concubine Lan recently, and the emperor will not go to Concubine Lan to find the prince, otherwise Empress Rong will have no way to raise her baby with peace of mind.Empress Rong, who didn't even dare to get angry every day, had long forgotten Xiao Xiao somewhere. Every day was spent admiring flowers and embroidery, waiting for the arrival of this new life.

That night, Empress Rong was just about to go to bed, but her stomach suddenly hurt, so she hurriedly hugged her stomach and asked the maid to call the imperial doctor.The palace maid calculated that the day of labor was approaching, so naturally she didn't dare to trot carelessly all the way to the imperial hospital to find Mrs. Wen, and then went to bring the emperor.Unsurprisingly, when the emperor arrived, Empress Rong was already screaming with her stomach in her arms, and the loud shouts made the emperor outside the door want to push the door in to find out, but it was a pity that it was limited to etiquette.For a quarter of an hour, an hour, the emperor who was full of anticipation finally waited for the door to open, but he expected bad news.

"The fetal position is not right, it's stuck," Wen Po knelt tremblingly, "Bao Da still..."

Before Wen Po finished her words, she was kicked into the room with a heart-warming kick, and then the furious emperor pulled out the knife of the guard at the door and put it on Wen Po's neck.He said viciously: "Nothing can happen to their mother and child, otherwise you will all be buried with my Xin'er!"

Wen Po was so frightened that she lost control, she even forgot to close the door, and was supported by the maid beside her and went back to the bed.Empress Rong's complexion was pale but her eyes were red, she looked like a water ghost coming out of the water, glaring at Po Wen: "I...my prince..."

Wenpo finally calmed down, and trembling with fright when she saw that Empress Rong was almost out of breath.She hurriedly asked the maid to help the empress with strength, gritting her teeth, thinking that she must pull the child out, otherwise she would kill two people and her head would fall to the ground.It's a pity that Po Wen made a good plan, but Empress Rong gasped for a few breaths after saying that, and then she stopped breathing. Naturally, the child in her stomach couldn't be dragged out. She froze, sweat soaking her clothes.

"Xiner—"

The emperor, who had been standing not far away, didn't understand when he saw this situation?In grief, he ran over and hugged Empress Rong, feeling her gradually losing body temperature.Countless pictures of the two loving each other in the past flashed across his mind, the emperor called her name over and over again, hoping that the person in his arms would open his eyes and say that he just closed his eyes and took a rest.pity--

On the third day after Liu Rong's death, that is, on July 21, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites: "Empress Liu Rong died on July [-], and her posthumous title is 'Empress Xiaozhen, Zhuangyi, Gongjing, Benevolence, Qintianfu Shengchun'. The ceremony should be held, and Erbu will inspect it in detail, and discuss it quickly."

The news of the queen's death spread quickly throughout the royal city, and the common people sighed for the loss of the mother of the country, but only one person was happy in his heart, and that was Concubine Lan.Originally, she just had the mentality of giving it a try, how could she know that the fragrance of that strange monk is really so magical!

It turned out that since Concubine Lan was pregnant with a child, she had looked down on Liu Ziming, who did not listen to discipline, and planned to give birth to a prince.But if the one in Empress Rong's stomach is a girl, it's okay, but if it's a boy, wouldn't it be that his own child will live under the shadow of the Rong family for the rest of his life?As a result, Concubine Lan Gui continued to do nothing, and had some vicious thoughts in her heart, planning to deal with the biggest threat first, and do something to make Queen Rong slip away.However, she has little power and lost Liu Ziming's support. The implementation of this plan is full of difficulties: the emperor used to favor the empress alone, and the beautiful women who were sent to the palace every year were either sent to the Chuxiu Pavilion or sent home after being a court lady for a few years. There is not even a single person who shares the same hatred in the palace; no one in her family has the ability to escape the search of the palace and send her some contraband, and all loyal people are trapped in the palace like her. Concubine Lan Gui could only give up if she didn't enter the queen's palace.But one night when she was sitting at the gate of the palace frowning, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Don't bark, or don't blame me for being merciless~"

The man in black covered Concubine Lan Gui's mouth, seeing her nodding desperately before letting go of his hand.Immediately he took off his mask, and Concubine Lan found out that this man was a handsome monk who broke into the palace for some reason.

"I'm just an unfavored concubine. If I need money, I'll go to the house to get it!" Concubine Lan Gui said in panic, kneeling on the ground, fearing that this person would do something to her.

"I'm not asking for money," the monk held his chin to admire Concubine Lan's embarrassed posture for a while, and said slowly, "I'm here to help you~"

"Help me?" Concubine Lan Gui raised her head suspiciously.

The monk answered with a smile, and then asked, "Didn't you want Empress Rong to have a tire?"

Concubine Lan Gui's heart was beating extremely fast, she was afraid that her thoughts would be discovered by others, but also excited that this person said to help her.Concubine Lan Gui lowered her eyes, stood up after a while, and patted the dust on her skirt.She stared at this strange monk: "If you can kill her for me, then I can give you whatever you want!"

Later, when Concubine Lan Gui heard that the monk had mixed some kind of incense into the censer of the Queen's Palace, she was very much looking forward to it, but she hadn't heard anything happened for a long time, so Concubine Lan Gui thought that the monk was just teasing herself.However, she only accepted the monk's help with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so she was not too disappointed, but planned to bribe a court lady to do tricks when the queen gave birth.It's a pity that the court lady didn't enter the queen's room. Concubine Lan thought her plan had failed, but who would have thought that the incense would actually be effective!

"I didn't feel this fragrance when I first smelled it, but on a certain day, I will suddenly feel weak and paralyzed like soft mud." The monk was still smiling, but Concubine Lan Gui felt the bone-chilling chill, "And this day, it happened to be What about the day she gave birth~"
