fake prince

Chapter 1100 Eyelids Twitched
"Miss Zhou, Zhou Yao?" Princess Xinping was a little stunned. Since Zhou Yao left suddenly, she might not have seen her for a long time.

I think back then, how many princesses and noble ladies surrounded me, but now they are neglected, and it would be good to wait for the letter to be sent.

At this time, she appeared and even visited her, which made Princess Xinping feel a little complicated.

"Let her come in." However, Princess Xinping regained her senses and ordered Zhou Yao to come in: "I'll just welcome her here."

As she spoke, Princess Xinping turned her face and returned to her seat. The tea was already cold, and the maid obediently removed the old tea and served new tea.

Princess Xinping took a deep breath, took a sip of tea from her cup, and frowned slightly after taking a sip.

The tea is not necessarily bad tea, the tribute tea is not bad, but it is a bit stale, and the water is good water, but it is not Xiping Yujingquan. . .

Princess Xinping has been in the palace since she was a child. She has never drunk any tea, and she drinks it as soon as she drinks it.

In fact, it is still sweet and fragrant, but she smiled bitterly, and put it down after taking a sip. There is not much difference in taste, but this is the difference in treatment.

No wonder the concubine was worried.

If one step is squeezed out, it may be difficult to go back.

Just thinking about it, Princess Xinping heard a slight gasp.

"What's the matter, so disrespectful?" Princess Xinping frowned again. The people around her are the palace maids and maids. After strict training, they have rules in speaking and walking. What's wrong now?
Thinking about it, his eyes widened in an instant.

In the living room, there was the sound of the ding dong of the ring, and a girl wearing a veil walked in slowly outside. Although she was wearing a veil, she didn't know why. She had a cool and cool demeanor, but in a blink of an eye, she became charming. out of the charm.

Princess Xinping was used to beauties, so she couldn't help standing up: "...Yaoyao?"

Her voice was unbelievable, her eyes widened slightly, and she stood up almost out of composure, how could it be possible, she hadn't seen her for more than half a year, how could she be like a different person, some couldn't believe it, the girl in front of her was Zhou Yao .

If you look carefully, you can see that Zhou Yao's appearance has not changed much, but just this little modification, it seems like the finishing touch, making her look more beautiful out of thin air.

But this is not the key, the key is temperament. For those who are familiar with Zhou Yao, they can see the difference from the past at a glance.

In fact, before Zhou Yao left that day, her body was already conspicuous, but now, even when she was walking, there was a feeling of gentleness and picturesque, one year and ten thousand years.

"Oh, it will be terrible if the emperor sees it."

When the appearance reaches a certain level, it is difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior, but temperament becomes the key.

When Zhou Yao took off her veil and greeted Princess Xinping, Princess Xinping couldn't help staring at her and sighed: "Yaoyao, you have really changed, compared to the past, you are not only more beautiful, but also younger. "

Women in this era are already old girls at the age of 20.

Zhou Yao is still seventeen or eighteen years old now, how can this not make Princess Xinping feel emotional?
Zhou Yao showed a smile on her face, gave a slight blessing, and turned her eyes: "Princess, your demeanor is even better than before, and your demeanor is even more dazzling."

In fact, this is not a lie. Princess Xinping has a beautiful appearance, and the peak value of this appearance is usually at the age of 25 or [-].

She is not yet that age, but compared to the previous few years, she actually bloomed longer, just like a rose in full bloom, a half-bloomed rose is always more beautiful than a flower bud.

It's just that people in ancient times didn't live very long, so many people think that if a woman is over 20 years old and hasn't married yet, she is considered old.

After Zhou Yao said this, Princess Xinping finally showed some smiles.

Regardless of whether what she said was true or not, being praised by a beautiful girl for her good looks always made her feel happier.

"Come here, serve tea." Princess Xinping asked Zhou Yao to take a seat, and asked the maid to serve tea.

After the refreshments were served, for some reason, Xinping suddenly wanted to talk to this former friend, causing everyone to retreat outside temporarily.

Princess Xinping stared at the teacup in her hand, was silent for a while, and then said: "When you came, did you see an ox cart going out?"

Zhou Yao picked up the cup and took a sip of the tea, but she didn't taste the difference at all. She recalled it and said, "Although I didn't meet him face to face, I did see an ox cart and several guards went out together."

"Where are the guards? It's the eunuch!" Princess Xinping sneered: "The person sitting in the ox cart is not someone else, but my mother and concubine."

"Concubine Wu actually left the palace?" Zhou Yao was a little surprised.

The harem is strictly prohibited. Although Wei Zhengdu is relatively relaxed, it is not easy to visit relatives.

Princess Xinping's complexion is very bad: "Yes, mother concubine, in order to persuade me to have more contact with grandson, she actually went out of the palace on purpose."

"In the past, I was grounded when I made friends with the Dai Wang, and my mother and concubine didn't agree with it, and persuaded me to return from my lost path... Now, seeing that the Dai Wang has become a grandson, and my father's body is no longer in good health, the mother and concubine's attitude has changed drastically... ..."

"The matter between me and my grandson made such a mess that day, she is not afraid anymore. I am not afraid of your jokes, I even think that the concubine mother is selling her daughter by doing this..."

This is also the reason why Princess Xinping can't accept it. What does the concubine mother think of her?

At the beginning, she was advised to take care of ethics and not to have too much contact with Su Ziji, but now that the Dai Wang has become a grandson, there is no need to take care of ethics anymore?
Zhou Yao just listened quietly, until Princess Xinping finished speaking, bowed her head and sulked, and then she began to persuade: "Princess, why are you angry?"

"The relationship between people is based on interests. The emperor is old now. Once that day comes, how the former emperor's concubine will be treated can be imagined."

"Concubine Wu only wanted to leave a way out, and besides, her persuasion like this may not be out of love for her daughter."

"The emperor is one's own father, and it is different from the emperor being someone else, even a brother."

Is there any reason why Princess Xinping didn’t know this, Concubine Wu hinted it several times, but I don’t know why, listening to Zhou Yao’s tactful words, Princess Xinping just sipped tea and listened quietly at first, occasionally nodded and smiled, but I don’t know why, slowly Slowly and emotionally, it seems that the words are in the heart, and I can't help but feel red.

"That's right. Originally, in my residence, offerings for the four seasons were always in the forefront, not to mention the first batch of offerings. There was no reason to be negligent."

"But now, the water is only Huqiu water, and the tea is old tea."

"I am still a princess. If I am a concubine in the palace, once I fall out of favor, it will be a disaster."

"Let's not talk about the high-level treatment, the same one hundred catties of rice, replaced by old rice and moldy rice, and the same ten catties of meat, replaced by rotten meat, how can we live?"

"Woman, it's really too difficult."

Zhou Yao's eyes were blurred, she didn't speak immediately, she just listened, and she nodded after a long time: "You are right, I also told someone that year."

"Oh, how did he answer?" Princess Xinping seemed curious.

"He said that in the world, it's nothing more than love and credit." Zhou Yao seemed to be recalling, with a smile on her lips: "I don't want to talk about love, but for credit, he gave an example."

"In the rural households, the men eat first and eat dry rice, while the women can only eat leftovers and porridge. This is very unfair to women."

"But farmers have been like this since ancient times, but it is the way of heaven."

"The way of heaven?" Princess Xinping was inexplicably depressed, she wanted to speak, but she didn't dare, who in the royal family would dare to criticize the will of heaven and the way of heaven?
"Is it true that you discriminate against women like this?"

"He said that if a bowl of water is level, the man will not be able to eat enough, so there is no effort to plow the land as a tenant. If you don't work hard, the production in the field will be less, and the wages paid by the master will be less, so the whole family will not be able to eat. If you have enough food, within a few years, the whole family will starve to death."

"That's why I said that the men of rural farmers eat dry rice first, and the women eat leftover rice porridge. This is the way of heaven." Zhou Yao sighed.

"..." Princess Xinping was speechless and very dissatisfied.

"He also said that it's actually very simple to feed a woman. If a woman can earn money, her status will naturally increase." Zhou Yao smiled slightly, as if talking to him.

"It's not just like this, it's like this at home, and it's like this at home."

"Even if it's in the palace, there is no shortage of money, but there is also some affection and credit. For the women in the harem, the credit is to give birth to a boy and a half girl."

"It's more likely to be promoted in the harem, don't you think so?"

Princess Xinping was still speechless, although she was dissatisfied, but think about it carefully, indeed, the royal family, how many things look back and smile at Bai Meisheng, Liugong Fendai is colorless.

If there are more women, it is no longer a rarity, and if there are more stunning women, it is no longer a rarity.

Not to mention [-]%, at least [-]% to [-]%, it is based on love, background, seniority and merit.

"Affection is indispensable. Without affection, there is no human touch. However, if meritorious service is not rewarded, you can't eat more, and you practice egalitarianism, then who will do meritorious service, who will work, and who will bleed?"

"As long as there are no foreign troubles, that's all. It's nothing more than a pool of stagnant water. If there are foreign troubles, the foreign troubles will become stronger every day, and we will become weaker every day. Nothing can last long."

Even if it is a monster clan, if you can't work hard, you will be rewarded more, and those who work hard will get more rewards, and the monster clan will not prosper. Zhou Yao said this, seeing Princess Xinping dumbfounded, and suddenly woke up from the memory, she couldn't help but feel melancholy.

It's all gone, and it's hard to get it back.

"Princess, you are also like this." Zhou Yao lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes fluttering: "Your father is here, affection is enough, and the treatment will not be worse."

"But if it's a brother, if it's a nephew, how much affection do you have?"

"Not to mention the royal family, but ordinary people, how much can a married girl rely on her brothers and nephews?"

Zhou Yao asked lightly, Princess Xinping suddenly seemed to be enlightened, thought-provoking, her face turned pale, and she thought of her aunts.

Elder Aunt, Young Shang, Unsealed
Second aunt, fifteen married, died at the age of 33
Three aunts, married thirteen, died at 44

Four aunts, sixteen married, died at the age of 22
The longest living one was only 44 years old, and she couldn't help but bitter in her mouth.

"So princess, you can't just rely on affection. The affection is getting weaker and weaker. If you want to gain a foothold in the new dynasty, you have to have some credit."

"Furthermore, the princess and the grandson were friends in the past, and the grandson valued friendship, and now he must never forget his old friends. If this is the case, why should you be stubborn? Why don't you follow the concubine Wu and help a bunch of grandsons?" .”

Seeing that Princess Xinping was in deep thought, she added softly: "The palace is deep, so who knows what will happen?"

As soon as these words came out, Princess Xinping thought deeply.

Seeing this, Zhou Yao knew that her purpose of coming this time was achieved.

Since the goal was achieved, Zhou Yao didn't stay for long, and had a conversation with Princess Xinping before leaving.

Princess Xinping had a big event in her heart, so she didn't hold back too much. When Zhou Yao left, she pondered for a moment, and then called outside: "Servant painting."

A handsome court lady hurried in from the outside: "Princess, are you calling your servant?"

Princess Xinping sized her up and said, "I heard that you have a sister who is an eighth-rank female official in the palace?"

"Yes!" Si Hua didn't know why, but felt his eyelids twitch.
