Da Suining

Chapter 75 Ruby Hairpin

When Lan Tuo was young, he was weak and sick, and he was the only son of Princess Guo and the only second-generation male in the Changxinhou Mansion, so when he was young, not all children could get in touch with him. together.

Lan Heng has a very good temper, usually docile, and when he was a child, he would often run behind Lan Tuo, like a little tail.

When they were young, they sat together on the swing frame in the backyard and watched the fireflies at night, and they also counted the number of bees that fell on the newly blooming flower buds in the garden in early spring.

Once Lan Tuan wanted to eat the pea yellow sold by a hawker outside, but Princess Guo refused to let her buy it. It was Lan Ji who secretly asked the nanny to buy it, and sent it to Lan Tui's bedroom when it was dark, and watched him personally with a candle. eat.

At that time, Lan Xun understood what Lan Tui was thinking.

Now Lan Fai's smile is very weird.

He was injured, he was not stuffy, and he smiled instead, it seems that the injury is not serious.

Lan Ji was worried: "Don't let your mother see it, or she will worry about you again. Last time you rescued the Xiang Er girl in the dive, the imperial doctor said that you still have cold air in your body."

"Do not worry about it."

"Who hurt you this time?"

"Irrelevant people. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it." Lan Fan changed her posture and lay on her stomach indifferently.From childhood to adulthood, Princess Guo almost held their brothers and sisters in the palm of her hand. Although she would not give them the stars in the sky, she always took good care of them when they grew up. Anything that might hurt Lan Fai in the slightest must be shoveled away.

I still remember eating fish meat when I was a child. Parents and servants always scraped the fish meat and put it on Lan Tai's plate, so that he had the illusion that fish was born without bones or thorns, just a lump of meat. Just like eating buns or fruits, just open your mouth and bite.

Ordinary people know Lan Fa's identity, so they won't provoke him easily.

Anyone who provokes him is either a desperado, or someone more noble than Lan Tui.

"Who are those people who hurt my brother? My brother has a grudge against them?"

"No."

"Then why did they hurt my brother?" Lan Yu frowned: "Could it be that my brother is standing up for others again?"

"Lan Xie, it's all over, it's okay, don't worry too much." Lan Tui comforted her: "It's just a small injury, it will be fine after a few days with some medicine. But, don't tell mother."

"I promise you, just don't say anything." Lan Yu was a man of faith, and when he agreed to Lan Tui's matter, he was naturally strict, and her mother, Princess Guo, naturally didn't know anything.

Until Guo Kai's mother Xuan Guo Princess entered the palace.

Guo Kai's mother's real name is Zhao Rui, and she is one of the four concubines in the palace. She gave birth to Guo Kai, and the emperor bestowed on her the word "He". Mind.

The emperor occasionally went on a errand, went out for a tour of the palace, and visited privately to observe the sufferings of the people. The emperor's concubines did not have such freedom. Serving, those who are not favored, thrown into the cold palace, accompanied by green lanterns, are just left for the rest of their lives. Some concubines have never come out since entering the palace, until they died and were buried in the concubine's mausoleum. Square sky.

Mothers are more expensive than children, and the concubine who gave birth to the prince naturally has high-quality food and accommodation. In Xuanguo's palace, she has a large courtyard alone, named Heyi Courtyard. Although she can't go out and walk like the noble ladies of Qingcheng, But in the palace, it is also necessary to be in the wind.

When Princess Guo entered Heyi Yuan, concubine Zhao Rui was still dressing.

Although Princess Guo often went to the palace, she didn't have much contact with this concubine, but the concubine summoned her suddenly, which made her feel uncertain.

The concubines in the palace are also polite when they see Princess Guo, after all, she is a compatriot with the emperor, and she is born of a serious empress dowager.

Concubine He combed her hair for a long time, cleaned her hands, evened her face, and spent a cup of tea on her eyebrows and eyes.

Even Princess Guo went, but she didn't get up to greet her.

After a stick of incense, Princess Guo felt a little sleepy sitting by the window.

Concubine He just came out from behind the bead curtain. She painted bright red lip balm and wore a high bun, with a long golden hairpin inserted between her buns, and a bright red Melaleuca velvet flower on her temples. .The wide-sleeved shirt embroidered with gold peonies almost blinded the princess.

Maybe a maid was too slow to open the curtain, and the pearls on the curtain cooled Concubine He's face, Concubine He slapped the maidservant: "It's useless, punish the rice."

The maid was dragged away crying.

Another maid brought the lotus seed soup, knelt down on both knees and lifted the lotus seed soup over her head.

Concubine He lifted the bowl: "I said I don't like lotus seed soup, and brought it up again. Are you trying to make me angry on purpose? First beat the five boards, and then take it to the Huanyi Bureau to wash clothes."

The maid backed out sobbing.

After disposing of the maidservant, Concubine He sat down, and said coldly to Princess Guo: "Why doesn't the princess drink tea? Do you think the tea in Heyi Yuan is not good?"

This is whoever scratches whomever meets.

Princess Guo touched the tea bowl with her hand, but did not drink it.

"Concubine He called me, why?" Princess Guo tried her best to be patient.

"The princess goes to the palace to meet the emperor every day, and she is the empress dowager's own daughter. She is the third princess of the Xuan Kingdom. She has a noble status. Surely she doesn't take my concubine seriously?"

Princess Guo didn't understand, she and Concubine He had always been in harmony with each other, why Concubine He had a gun with a stick, and gave her a meal.

"Concubine He has something to say, you might as well just say it."

"Your son hit my son!" Concubine He stood up abruptly.Thinking of Guo Kai's chest that was livid when he returned to the palace, he invited the imperial doctor to see it. The imperial doctor said that there was blood in his chest. Guo Kai said that he was kicked by Lan Tui. Tui is not in the palace now, otherwise he would have to be dragged to the emperor to judge.

But Guo Kai said that he would not disturb the emperor, Concubine He only thought that he was used to being bullied by Lan Tui, but couldn't swallow that tone, so she called Princess Guo to interrogate her.

Princess Guo was at a loss: "Tu'er hit the second prince? Impossible? What enmity can they have?"

"I don't know what kind of hatred there is. Anyway, your son was almost kicked to death by my son. He's chest hurts, and his head is full of sweat."

"It's really the one who got hurt, can you see clearly?"

"Of course I can see clearly. Could it be that my son is still blind?"

"I didn't say anything like that."

"Speaking of which, we are also relatives, but we didn't bully others like this. You are a princess, and Jie'er is also the emperor's son. How could you beat Jie'er so hard?" Concubine He was very angry.

Here the imperial physician prescribed a prescription and took the medicine, and the maid took the medicine and went to the Heyi courtyard to boil.

It seemed that Guo Kai was really hurt.

Princess Guo knew nothing about it.

Now that Concubine He is asking about the crime, she has no choice but to apologize: "It's all my fault. Although I don't know why I hurt Jie'er, I'm afraid it wasn't intentional. When I go back and ask, I will naturally tell him well." , Princess Guo pulled out a ruby ​​hairpin inlaid with a silver lily from her hair: "This hairpin was rewarded by the Queen Mother back then. This ruby ​​is the largest in Xuanguo, so I will give it to Concubine He."

Concubine He squinted at the ruby ​​hairpin, the ruby ​​is so big, pure and bright, shining brightly, her Heyiyuan doesn't have such precious things.

Anyway, Guo Cheng had already been beaten, and she also vented her anger. It would be nice to get a hairpin, so she accepted it, and did not forget to taunt the princess: "The princess's child is her own, and ours is not carried outside. Whose child is it?" Who doesn't feel hurt, if Tui'er hurts me again in the future, don't blame me as a mother's protection, I won't talk about relatives or not."

Princess Guo was embarrassed, she didn't have anything to say while sitting, drank half a cup of tea, and left Heyiyuan.

Concubine He didn't get up to see her off.

Princess Guo left the palace and returned directly to the mansion.

Lan Heng was learning embroidery from her embroiderer in the mansion. She had just embroidered a red plum, which was blooming brightly on the branch, when she heard the voice of Princess Guo returning to the mansion.

In the past, when she was doing embroidery work, Princess Guo had to give her some pointers. This time, Princess Guo had someone carry the embroidery frame away, and asked Lan Yu to ask, "Where's your brother?"

"Brother... I'm changing clothes right now, so I'm going to be on duty."

"What did your brother do, do you know?"

"I...I..." Lan Yu blushed, "I..."

"Hesitate, you just know."

"I do not know."

"Go and call your brother, I have something to ask him." Princess Guo waved her hand.

Lan Xie felt that something was wrong, so he obediently went to invite Lan Tui. When Lan Tui came to Princess Guo, Princess Guo saw her own son, and half of her anger disappeared: "Tu'er, are you Didn't you have some festival with the second prince?"

"I……"

"Why are you brothers and sisters so hesitant? When did you have a feud with the second prince? I don't know at all. Although I am Jie'er's aunt, this child has been very strong since he was a child, and he is not serious. Cao Mang, his mother is such a person again, I told you the day you entered the palace to lead the messenger, stay away from him, what is this time for, you kicked his chest so livid?"

It seems that this matter cannot be concealed.

Lan Tui didn't want to argue, but just lowered her head and said: "It's my fault that my mother listened to gossip too much."

"Mother, why are you talking for Guo Kai?" Lan Xie's eyes were red, and she almost shed tears. When did Princess Guo question her brother like this?Presumably, he was angry when he entered the palace.

Lan Yu pointed at Lan Tuan's back: "I was afraid that my mother would be worried, and I didn't want her to know, but I didn't expect that Guo Kai would sue him for his inhumanity. Brother, his back was injured, it must be Guo Kai's fault."

When she heard that Lan Tui was injured, Princess Guo lost her soul.

Lalan faded to the side room, pulled his clothes to see, such a long wound was a new wound.If the position was deeper, wouldn't it penetrate to the chest and directly poke a hole in the heart?
"It was Guo Kai who hurt you?"

Blue faded nodded.

Thinking about his son flying over the roof and climbing walls, with first-rate swordsmanship, and an ordinary person who is decent, he is not easy to cause trouble, then Guo Kai must have used his status as a prince to attack him cruelly, and almost killed Lan Tui.

Isn't this going to be the queen of the Xinhou Mansion?

Just now in the palace, he even apologized to Concubine He, and even gave her a good hairpin as compensation.

What a joke.

Princess Guo immediately asked someone to set up a carriage and went to the palace, and happened to see Concubine He wearing the ruby ​​hairpin showing off to several nobles and young masters: "This is what the princess put on for me to show her favor. We are fighting for success, and the princess likes it when she sees it, so she favors me, a mother."

Princess Guo tore off the ruby ​​hairpin from Concubine He's head.

Concubine He lost her face and blushed so badly that she had to act like a concubine in front of everyone: "Third Princess, why did you go back on your word, you forgot about us..."

"I'm afraid you don't know how miserable we are."

The voices of the two were louder than the other, and the nobles and young masters who watched the excitement all retreated one after another in fear of causing trouble.

The emperor had just come out of the military plane, and wanted to go to the garden pavilion to have a look at the scenery. He didn't want to hear the voice of Princess Guo arguing with Concubine He from afar.

Being busy with government affairs every day is already very hard, and this group of women's troubles are more worrying than the government affairs.It's okay to not go to court for the time being, and it's hard for these women to hide.In the past, concubines and concubines were fighting each other, so why is Princess Guo joining the team now?
The emperor wanted to go around the corner gate to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Concubine He had sharp eyes, and glanced at the emperor first, the pear blossom that was crying was raining, and Guo Wei said that he was about to die of serious injuries.

When Princess Guo thought of Lan Tui's injury, she was also indignant.

These boys, at the age of fifteen, sixteen, seventeen or eighteen, are the ones who fight cats and dogs the most. Hairy mouth, not afraid of people watching jokes.

The emperor originally wanted to make a big deal into a small one, but the two women didn't want to give in at all.

The emperor couldn't help it, so he had to say: "Why did Jiaer and Tuer fight?"

Concubine He was speechless.

Princess Guo was also speechless.

Guo Kai and Lan Tui didn't know why they were fighting.

The emperor sat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and called Guo Kai and Lan Tui to come.

Guo Cheng timidly stood behind his mother and concubine: "Mother, I didn't say that, you know the wound on the chest, don't make trouble with the emperor, what are you-you want to kill me."

"You are the victim, why are you afraid that your father will know, the one who hurts someone should be afraid." Concubine He pushed Guo Cheng, and pushed him directly in front of the emperor: "Let your father see your injury. "

Guo Kai had no choice but to crawl in front of the emperor, not daring to lift his head, but lying there with his buttocks pouted.

Lan Tui respectfully knelt in the middle of the hall, put his hands together, bowed his head and bowed, very respectful.

"Fa'er, I heard from your mother that you were injured, is it serious?"

"It's not serious, thank you for your majesty's concern." Lan Huai said brightly: "I hurt the second prince, I know I'm guilty, please punish me."

"Are you guys hurting each other? Can you see clearly that the other party hurt you? Or was it hurt by something else?" The emperor leaned on the soft bed with half-closed eyes, and these words were to find a way out for Guo Kailan. If they don't recognize each other, it's over.

But who dares to deceive the king?Lan Tui handed over the orange jade pendant in his arms, the jade pendant that was broken into two pieces belonged to Guo Kai, and the emperor recognized it.

This is really a child.

"Tell me, why did you fight each other?"

Concubine He whispered: "Cao'er, why did he beat you, you must tell your father well, and let your father decide for you."

Princess Guo rolled her eyes and sighed: "Tai'er, tell the truth."
