Three months later, it was near the end of autumn and the weather was getting colder. The toxins in Mrs. Jiang's body had been completely eliminated. During this time, she lay in bed and worshiped all the Bodhisattvas in the sky. Now that she has recovered safely, she wants to go to the White Horse Temple to offer incense She fulfilled her wish and at the same time wanted to ask for a lottery for Jiang Ning, so Jiang Ning was granted a day off by Madam Xu.

The next day, at dawn, the mother and daughter went to the White Horse Temple outside the city in a carriage.

The White Horse Temple is solemn and solemn, with a magnificent momentum, the sound of wooden fish, the smoke of Buddha, and constant pilgrims.

Jiang Ning followed Mrs. Jiang into the Daxiong Palace. The hall is spacious and grand, and the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined in the hall. Jiang Ning followed Mrs. Jiang respectfully kowtowed to the Buddha, and opened his eyes after three worships. , seeing Mrs. Jiang still kneeling on the futon, she didn't know what to say.

After making a wish, Mrs. Jiang brought a lottery on the incense table, "Sister Ning, come and draw a lottery."

Jiang Ning held the stick with both hands, shook it a little bit twice, and a bamboo stick jumped out of it.

Mrs. Jiang was going to draw the lottery, but Jiang Ning didn't go with her. This kind of thing is not sure, Jiang Ning doesn't want to know, if the lottery is drawn, she may also have negative emotions.I also heard from the pilgrims along the way that the scenery behind the White Horse Temple is very beautiful, so I took a stroll.

Autumn is refreshing, the ancient trees on the back mountain of Baima Temple are towering and gloomy, and the red maple falls gracefully, covering a layer of warm red carpet. Jiang Ning's embroidered shoes are specially stepped on places with many fallen leaves, bouncing and jumping, naughty With the sound of "cracker-cracker" under your feet.

Suddenly, her back tightened, and Jiang Ning suddenly looked back, only to see two people watching her not far away, seeing her turn around, one of them bowed and retreated.

Jiang Ning stared at the slender figure in a daze. The man was wearing black clothes and a jade and gold crown, looking at her with a smile on his mouth.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised, and went forward to pay his respects a little cautiously.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the ceremony, before she could speak, a pair of warm hands grasped her arms and pulled her into the man's arms.

"Miss Jiang is too polite." The warm breath brushed her cheeks gently like a feather, and Jiang Ning's face flushed red.

She struggled a few times, but seeing that she couldn't break free, Jiang Ning's tongue tied up nervously, "My lord, my lord, please respect yourself."

Yang Xun loosened his strength a little, but still held her in his arms, leaned back and leaned on the thick tree trunk: "Next year you will be my princess, a year is too long, my king Just asking for some interest."

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, the blush on her face had faded, and she said bluntly: "My lord, the love that my ministers want is a couple for a lifetime, can the lord give it?"

Yang Xun was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Jiang Ning to ask this question.

Since ancient times, it has been common sense for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and some people are even ridiculed because there are too few concubines in their families.

What's more, he is still the prince of Qi, how could there be only one woman in the backyard, the concubine.

Yang Xun didn't answer, but looked at her with a frown, and slowly lowered his hands.

His actions have already explained everything, Jiang Ning's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, she slowly backed away from Yang Xun's arms, and barely held up a smile: "I know, I will be a virtuous princess in the future, and I will be a prince with peace of mind." Manage the affairs of the government."

Yang Xun seemed to be about to say something, but Jiang Ning hurriedly said, "My lord, it's getting late, my mother is still waiting for me, and my daughter-in-law will go first."

Before Yang Xun agreed, Jiang Ning turned around and ran back the same way.

Back in the carriage, Mrs. Jiang was still excited that the autograph she had drawn was the top autograph, which represented a happy marriage and a full house of children and grandchildren.

Jiang Ning was not in the mood to listen, and quietly leaned against the window of the carriage, looking at the scenery that flashed along the way.

Prince Hui's Mansion

Yang Xun unfolded a picture scroll, and the picture showed a beautiful woman with a cloudy bun, a misty bun, a scorpion head and moth eyebrows, eyes like autumn waves, and red lips like a dandelion, she is really a stunning beauty.

That was Yang Xun's mother and concubine Wei, who was regarded as the most beautiful woman in Daqi. At that time, on the Qixi Festival, the mother and concubine ran into the father, who was on a tour by the Qinhuai River, and the father was shocked. In the palace, she was named a first-rank imperial concubine.After six years of pampering, the concubine mother was murdered when she gave birth to her eldest sister, her body was not as good as before, it is said that at the age of 25, she had fine lines around her eyes.The father and the emperor have always loved beauties, and the aging mother and concubine will not be able to resist the three thousand beauties in the harem after all precautions. In addition, the young and beautiful women who are selected every three years in the harem, the mother and concubine finally give up their hearts. Education Elder Sister.

After giving birth to him, the mother's health was even worse, and she barely survived until he was sensible and passed away.

Hearing the news of the mother's concubine's death, the emperor just lamented and ordered a proper burial.

Now, the royal father is still surrounded by beauties, and the vigorous love between him and his concubine mother was just a joke after dinner.

I heard from the mother and concubine that every woman has a dream of being a couple for the rest of her life. If the mother and concubine did not realize it, her husband is destined to be impossible for her alone.

What about her?

She also wants to be a couple forever?

Yang Xun rolled up the scroll and put it away, summoned the housekeeper, and said, "Clean up the Tongfang Garden. The flowers and plants displayed in the yard must be replaced with the latest ones."

The butler agreed, but thought about it. This Tongfang Garden is the closest to the prince's study. Not only is the feng shui good, but the scenery is also very beautiful. Occasionally, the prince will sleep there for a few nights when he is in the mood.

It must be for the princess to make the prince so troublesome.

That night, a strange scene suddenly appeared in Jiang Ning's boudoir. Bright rose petals formed seven characters: "One Life, One Life, One Double". Xin brought anything there, and the visiting time was only half an hour.

Jiang Xin felt that the mother's delicate and weak mother would definitely not be able to bear the bitter cold of the family temple, as if she had secretly brought something there, but she never thought that people called Jiang Taifu would search it away.

Before seeing Wen Shi, Jiang Xin was still angry that she was useless and could not do anything for her mother, but she actually saw Wen Shi sitting cross-legged on a futon, grilling charcoal fire, and eating hot pot.I haven't seen it for a few months, but it's still a lot more plump, and it doesn't look like it has suffered.

"Mother you..."

Wenshi put down his chopsticks, "Xin'er, you are here."

"Where do these foods come from?"

"Xin'er, take it easy, don't let the guards know about it." Wen said displeased: "Let's not mention this, I think your father won't let you stay here for too long."

Jiang Xin nodded and said, "Only half an hour."

Wen Shi nodded: "Xin'er, let's make a long story short, you were born to me, and I probably know what you are thinking. My mother wants to say, don't spend too much energy on King Hui."

Jiang Xin bit her lip, feeling unwilling for a while.

Wen Shi sighed and said: "Mother knows that you like King Hui, but King Hui is not something you can afford to provoke."

Jiang Xin was silent. She knew that King Hui was not as humble as he looked. In her previous life, King Hui was enthroned, and there were rumors among the people that King Hui killed his father and brother to win the throne.When King Hui ascended the throne, she was already trapped in the brothel. There are some special boxes in the brothel with excellent sound insulation, which are for those high-ranking officials. The girls in the building are all trained. The treatment is worse than death.Therefore, some officials will not be too scrupulous about speaking in the box. She has gone to accompany guests a few times and heard some officials mention some secret things in the court.Now after careful analysis, the previous emperor was seriously ill and the crown prince was not established, but in his later years, the emperor trusted the eldest prince very much, and even entrusted the eldest prince with the important task of offering sacrifices to heaven when he was seriously ill. Everyone said that this was a sign of succession to the throne.Unexpectedly, after the emperor passed away, it was King Hui who was written in the posthumous edict.

Who would believe that there is nothing tricky in it?

If the Eldest Prince had been more cautious and arranged everything before the emperor died, the throne might not necessarily belong to King Hui.

Jiang Xin thought so.

Wen Shi said pointedly: "King Rui has handled the errands these few times very well."

According to the ancestral system, the prince should have six concubines, three concubines on the front and two sides, and several concubines without status. The six high-grade concubines in Prince Rui's mansion are full.

"Could it be that mother wants me to be King Rui's concubine?" Jiang Xin shouted in surprise.

Wen shook his head: "I've inquired about it. A concubine surnamed Zeng in Prince Rui's mansion is about to die. It's been two days. If I take care of it properly, the seat of this concubine must be my son."

Jiang Xin frowned: "How to deal with it, mother, you are no longer from the Taifu's mansion, we have no power and power, who will help us."

"Xin'er, you don't understand. Only when you come out can the Zheng family relax. You go back and prepare well. Mother will definitely let you enter the Rui Palace."

At this moment, Jiang Xin suddenly felt that Wen Shi was very strange. Wen Shi had been locked in the family temple, and it was supposed to be impossible to communicate with the outside world, but Wen Shi could not only contact outsiders to give her food, but also clearly understood matter, and now she is swearing that she can enter the Rui Palace.

How can a person suddenly become so fast?

"I can only tell you a few things now." Noticing her daughter's suspicious eyes, Wen said, "I am originally the daughter of a famous incense making family in Daqi, and my family has supplied imperial spices to the royal family for generations. When I was six years old, I only By mistake, the ambergris concocted by my father was added by a villain who blindly contradicted it. After using it, the late emperor developed a red rash all over his body, which lasted for several days. Therefore, his father was dismissed from his post and sent to heaven. My father was tortured and beaten to death in the sky prison. The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. When he was in power, many people came to curry favor. When he was in trouble, there was no one to help him. My mother was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment. I just watched her die. As soon as my mother left, I was sold into Zheng's mansion by the grandmother, and I was reduced to the life of being a maid and concubine."

Wen Shi said, with strong hatred in his tone.

If it weren't for this, how could the daughter of Zheng's family, a mere fourth-rank official, be over my head.

"One day husband and wife, one hundred days of grace, even if I did something wrong, but your father doesn't care about the old love at all."

Wen's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous light flashed: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
