Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[[-]]

When she came out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, Zhou Jinyu had an extra handful of rapeseeds that the Empress Dowager personally gave her. That handful of rapeseeds was tied up with a hemp rope and held in her hand. It was in the yard of Empress Dowager Heyu. It grows in the garden, it grows green and oily, take it back to the kitchen and fry it with shredded pork, it will definitely be delicious.

As Zhou Jinyu walked out, he asked Wei Huanian: "Is what the queen mother said just now true? Did the princess tell Mr. Meng about the refugees?"

Wei Huanian turned his head to look at her, the young man's cheeks were covered with dirt because he had put rapeseed in the yard with the Queen Mother just now.

Wei Huanian raised his hand to wipe off the mud on her face, then smiled and said, "What do you want to ask?"

Zhou Jinyu sighed softly, and said: "Listen to her old man, I don't want you to deal with this matter. In my opinion, what the queen mother said about the refugees is true. The rice of my Zhou family celebrated a good harvest from the south of the Yangtze River by the Jinjiang waterway. All the way here, the residents on both sides of the Jinjiang River have always lived and worked in peace and contentment because of the water, and have ample food and clothing. This time the dam suddenly collapsed, and there must be a reason for it.”

Wei Huanian just listened to her analysis quietly, with the same expression as before, neither sad nor happy, very calm.

Zhou Jinyu paused, and then said: "I think the queen mother is right, princess, you should not rashly intervene in this matter."

Wei Huanian looked at her: "My son-in-law asked me to leave it alone?"

Zhou Jinyu shook her head: "It's not that I don't care about it, but before the matter is investigated and the reason behind it is unknown, the princess needs to wait and see what happens."

Wei Huanian looked at her for a while, and finally replied: "Understood."

After she finished speaking, she walked forward again.

Zhou Jinyu was startled, looking at the back of Wei Huanian walking away, a little confused about her attitude.

If I am so cautious, will she make her look down on her?

With this thought, Zhou Jinyu seemed to be choked by something, flustered.

She suddenly had a premonition that this girl is far from being as simple as outsiders seem. Although she looks like a woman, it is not difficult to see from the meaning behind the Queen Mother's words that this girl is planning What……

In the eyes of the world, Wei Huanian is a legendary girl.

In the early years, she went out with the army as a woman. It is said that the people in those days admired her, the eldest princess who did not give way to men, because their princess was willing to go to the battlefield without fear of death in order to protect them. Fighting the enemy bravely on the battlefield, there are rumors that she was once captured alive by the enemy and disappeared for a long time, but she was finally safe and sound.

If you think of this, what Cai Cai and Empress Dowager Yu said just now, she suffered a lot in the early years, I am afraid it is also the reason.

Regardless of her going to the battlefield, Wei Huanian's reputation among the people has always been excellent. Before she went to the battlefield, she once assisted the eldest prince Wei Chenglu in arresting corruption and repairing water conservancy projects, all of which were well-known for benefiting the country matter of the people.

But later, after Wei Huanian returned from the battlefield, he brought back a child.

The people are like this, if you do [-] good deeds, they may praise you, but if there is any stain, they will step on it desperately. There are faint rumors among the people that this child may be born to Wei Huanian and a foreign race.

Since then, the folk rumors about her began to change, and there were all sorts of plots behind her back. There were even rumors that she had already betrayed Da Jin, and she brought back that child to overthrow Da Jin.

But she is a dignified princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, what kind of effort is there to subvert the Great Jin Dynasty?

That's what people say.

Looking at the girl who had gone away, Zhou Jinyu felt distressed for no reason, and she shouted: "Princess."

Wei Huanian stopped and turned around.

Zhou Jinyu quickly walked a few steps to follow her, held her hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go together."

Wei Huanian raised his eyebrows to look at her, Zhou Jinyu still had a smile on his face, took her hand and said, "Princess, you don't need to intervene in some matters, just let me do it, I am your husband, it is important to protect you." As it should be."

Wei Huanian looked at the young man in front of him, her eyes were shining brightly, like the stars beside the bright moon, as if they could emit light, she looked so sincere.

Wei Huanian's heart warmed, and he held her hand instead, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Okay".

Zhou Jinyu became happy again in an instant. She couldn't help scratching the girl's palm, and then tightly held the cold hand. She made a secret decision in her heart that she must protect this girl.

Even though she is powerless now, even though she has nothing now, even if she loves her dearly, even if she is broken to pieces, she will do her best to protect her!

Besides, it's impossible for her to stay in the position of servant all the time, waiting to die for a lifetime.

Just thinking about it, Wei Huanian leaned over, stepped on something, and was about to fall down.

Zhou Jinyu's heart tightened, and he instinctively put his arms around her waist, and said nervously, "Princess, are you alright?"

Wei Huanian stood firm and shook his head slightly: "I'm fine."

At this moment, the young man looked concerned, wrapped her arms around her waist nervously, and wrapped her in her arms to protect her.

Wei Huanian looked into her eyes, paused, and reminded: "My son-in-law, I'm fine."

"Ah...? Oh, oh," Zhou Jinyu finally came to his senses, laughed twice, and reluctantly took his hand off Wei Huanian's waist.

She felt relieved, looked at the "culprit" under Wei Huanian's feet, the small stone and said, "There is no one cleaning the palace."

As she spoke, she angrily kicked the small stone into the grass beside the road.

Wei Huanian tilted his index finger to a red-lacquered wooden door opposite, and explained: "It's a cold palace, and few people come here, so it's common for the palace people to be negligent."

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "I see." She asked again: "Is there anyone still living in that cold palace?"

Wei Huanian nodded.

Zhou Jinyu asked, "Who lives there?"

Wei Huanian paused, and finally said: "It's one of my father's concubines, the residence of Concubine Mei, she... is also a poor person."

Zhou Jinyu nodded. She had heard of the rumors about Concubine Mei.

It is said that this concubine was originally the first wife of Wei Gou, the younger brother of His Majesty Wei Jian, but after Wei Gou died, Wei Jian replaced the Northern Zhou Emperor as the Great Treasure. Once favored the sixth house.

The rumors came to an abrupt end. After all, what the common people talked about was nothing more than the romantic rumor between the current emperor and his sister-in-law. As for what happened to the heroine of this romantic rumor, no one paid attention to it. .

Zhou Jinyu originally wanted to ask again, but at this time a gust of wind blew by, and the door was blown open by the wind. Looking up, he saw the desolation in the cold palace. It was just a few trees planted in the yard, but But it is not as luxuriant as in the empress dowager's palace, full of withered feeling.

A woman in a pink palace dress was sitting under a tree with no one around, muttering something.Wei Huanian was startled: "Concubine Mei?"

So this is that Concubine Mei?

Zhou Jinyu bent down slightly, trying to see the woman's face clearly, but she was lowering her head, but she couldn't see clearly.But she is not at all like the rumored concubine who dotes on the Sixth Palace. Even, to put it bluntly, at this time, her hair is disheveled and her clothes are disheveled, she looks like a crazy woman.

At this time, Concubine Mei suddenly raised her head and looked at her.

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback by that look, she felt a little familiar with that look, it was a kind of look that had gone through many vicissitudes and returned to silence, she had seen it in her mother's eyes before, and when she realized it, she realized that Concubine Mei looked It was Wei Huanian.

Wei Huanian was also looking at Concubine Mei, and the two looked at each other from a distance.

Wei Huanian bowed slightly, and saluted: "Ms. Concubine Mei."

Concubine Mei seemed to laugh at herself, she still sat on the ground, and said to Wei Huanian lightly: "I didn't kill Princess Hanning, but he framed me, I didn't!"

Zhou Jinyu has a meal, Princess Hanning?

She was in the Empress Dowager's palace just now, and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl on the calligraphy and painting, and the word "Hanning" was written on one side of the portrait.

Could it be this Princess Hanning?

Seeing that Wei Huanian was silent for a while, he nodded slightly to Concubine Mei: "Yes, I believe it."

Concubine Mei was stunned when she heard what she said, and was silent for a while, as if suddenly thinking of something, she laughed at herself again.Immediately afterwards, she raised her head and laughed, as if she had thought of something interesting, and she couldn't help laughing while covering her belly.

But there seemed to be all kinds of unwillingness and all kinds of despair in that laughter.

Zhou Jinyu couldn't help frowning.

There was a voice not far away.

"How did this door open?"

"This, I don't know..."

"Quickly close it, it's locked! Save her and start going crazy again!"

Two young eunuchs rushed over in a hurry, one of them immediately stepped forward and closed the palace door to death, and the other came forward to salute Wei Huanian: "Slave pays respects to the Eldest Princess, best wishes to the Eldest Princess!" .”

Wei Huanian waved his hands: "Get up."

"Eldest Princess, did Concubine Mei's master offend you?" the little eunuch asked in a panic.

Wei Huanian said: "It's okay."

The little eunuch raised his head to look at Wei Huanian, then immediately lowered his head: "Then Master Concubine Mei didn't talk nonsense to you, did she?"

Wei Huanian looked at him with raised eyebrows, without saying a word.

The little eunuch immediately said: "Your Majesty has ordered that this place is a forbidden place, no one is allowed to enter without permission, and the slaves are also following orders, so you and your son-in-law should leave as soon as possible, princess."

Wei Huanian only said: "I was going to visit the Empress Dowager, so I passed by here, and I have no intention of staying here."

The little eunuch said repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Wei Huanian turned around and looked at Zhou Jinyu: "My son-in-law, let's go."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, looked at her and smiled: "Okay, princess."

They left aside the two little eunuchs and walked forward. When they got out of the cold palace, Zhou Jinyu wondered, "Princess, who is that Princess Hanning?"

Wei Huanian said: "Princess Hanning is the only daughter of the current Empress Dowager, and she is also the aunt of the Palace. She left shortly after her father ascended the throne."

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Oh, so that's the case, but what does this matter have to do with that Concubine Mei?"

Wei Huanian glanced at her and moved closer to her. To outsiders, it looked like the eldest princess was kissing her son-in-law's forehead.

Wei Huanian's sudden approach made Zhou Jinyu a little uncomfortable. She twitched the corners of her mouth and was about to speak.

Just listen to Wei Huanian's low voice: "It's probably the father, who can't tolerate the emperor's grandmother's child."

Zhou Jinyu was startled, and blurted out: "Is it His Majesty who killed that child and blamed it on Concubine Mei?"

After the words, I was shocked.
