As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 199 Vicious Dog
The prince paused and sighed secretly, "It is inevitable that people will pursue profit."

Emperor Xuanwu frowned and looked at the Qilin paperweight on the royal table.

At first, the enfeoffed sons were stationed at the border to ensure the stability of the border, but now there is a faint tendency for the vassal king to become bigger.

His father, the emperor, could see clearly the ambition of King Liang.

The other vassal kings on the border may not share King Liang's heart, but they just have a wait-and-see attitude now.

Emperor Xuanwu ruled the world, and he knew that when encountering such unrest, killing one to serve as a warning to others was the best way.

But no matter how presumptuous King Liang is, he is still his biological son.

He was already in his sixties and had many sons, but only a few grandchildren.

This also made the elderly Emperor Xuanwu reluctant to raise the butcher knife.

In order to fear that after his death, the surrounding areas would be unstable, Emperor Xuanwu continued to delegate power to the prince in recent years, strengthening and stabilizing the prince's position in the court, and also selected the Prince of Zhongshan for Yun Qi's marriage.

But Yun Qi has been making trouble for five years without stopping.

Now, the eldest son of King Zhongshan is hooked up with King Liang.

The expression in Emperor Xuanwu's eyes changed, and after a while he sneered, "I want to see what other dramas can be performed."

……

We arrived at Laba in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Xuanwu ordered a banquet for all the officials. Princes, nobles, civil and military officials could bring their families to the palace for the banquet.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't want to go because her family was not in Beijing and she didn't like to join in the fun. However, she didn't expect that the Xianfei in the palace would send her a message and even send her clothes for the banquet.

Naturally, Xie Zhaozhao couldn't refuse Concubine Xian, so he had to prepare.

Early in the morning on the day of Laba, I dressed up and headed towards the palace.

Because he could only bring one personal maid to the banquet, Xie Zhaozhao chose the calm and skilled Hong Xiu to follow him.

Along the way, Xie Zhaozhao sat quietly, and Hongxiu also accompanied him quietly, not chatting.

When I got off the carriage in front of the palace gate, there were already other carriages of the officials and their families parked here.

Now the entire Xie family has been demoted, and only Xie Zhaozhao remains in the capital.

The second wife's concubine who married into Prince Liang's palace died of illness, and the second wife also died suddenly.

Some people feel that the Xie family is a little unlucky.

But because Xie Zhaozhao had contributed a lot to saving the prince, he had to come up and exchange a few words with him, but he immediately retreated.

It's not like the last chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, with provocative words and taunting eyes.

Xie Zhaozhao also doesn't like to pretend to be with them, so this is what he wants.

"Thank you sister!"

Suddenly there was a soft call from behind. Xie Zhaozhao turned around and saw Yun Yao getting off the carriage, dressed in pink and with a little blush on her cheeks, trotting up to Xie Zhaozhao.

"I asked Brother Qi if he would come that day, but he ignored me. I thought he wouldn't come."

Yun Yao said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come. It's great. Let's enter the palace now."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao responded with a smile and walked forward with her.

Yunyao was just getting haircut now, and she was very lively. She was chattering along the way, talking about this and that with Xie Zhaozhao like a little sparrow.

Because he had accepted Concubine Xian's post earlier, and the clothes for the banquet were also given by Concubine Xian, so after entering the palace, Xie Zhaozhao had to go to Concubine Xian's palace to thank him first, and then went to the banquet.

Yun Yao said "Ah" after hearing this, "Then go ahead, sister Xie, I'll go there first."

"it is good."

The two separated on the palace road, and Xie Zhaozhao went to see Concubine Xian in the palace.

Xian Fei was as virtuous and gentle as her title. After meeting Xie Zhaozhao, she took her and chatted with her for a few words.

Speaking of Xie Xingchen and Mrs. Dou, Concubine Xian's tone was slightly cold, "I remember when you and she came to see me, they looked like a smart and clever child. Unexpectedly, the good fortune was so shallow that it disappeared in the blink of an eye." "Yes." It’s her fault for not taking the right path.”

Concubine Xian and Mrs. Yu have known each other for many years, so they naturally know a lot about the Xie family's affairs. She shook her head and sighed and said: "The second wife has enjoyed all the glory and wealth thanks to your father, but she is not satisfied and has done those little tricks behind the scenes. "

"Now it's your own fault."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't say much. He just said: "Everything has a cause and effect. Whatever the cause, you will get the result."

"good."

Concubine Xian nodded, looked at Xie Zhaozhao with a smile for a while, and said softly: "This dress looks really beautiful on you."

"I would also like to thank the Concubine Xian for the reward."

"Say such kind words again."

Concubine Xian helped Xie Zhaozhao hold the hairpin on his head and asked curiously: "Why didn't you wear the glazed pearl headdress from the last Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet? That headdress matches the clothes very well."

Xie Zhaozhao secretly thought that it wasn't because that person was too ostentatious, but now that the situation was uncertain, she naturally couldn't be ostentatious.

"Come."

Concubine Xian seemed to ask casually and did not need Xie Zhaozhao to answer.

She led Xie Zhaozhao to sit down in front of the mirror, picked out a gold-colored bead-shaped bead flower from the dowry, and pinned it on Xie Zhaozhao's bun.

"You love pearls." Concubine Xian said softly while arranging Xie Zhaozhao's hair: "Although this pearl flower is a small thing, it is uniquely made. When I saw it in front of you, I thought it would look good on you. "

Concubine Xian always treated her gently and considerately, and Xie Zhaozhao was not too restrained.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

The pearl flower is just like Concubine Xian said. It looks small, but it is indeed unique and exquisitely made. When worn between the buns, it is quite the finishing touch.

Xie Zhaozhao thanked Concubine Xian and chatted for a while before accompanying Concubine Xian to leave the palace and go to the banquet.

Nowadays, Concubine Ning is still bedridden, and the affairs of the Sixth Palace are handled by Concubine Xian.

Along the way, the palace people were very respectful.

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but remember that her soul followed Yun Qi in her previous life and saw him supporting Prince Ping to ascend the throne.

Prince Ping is the son of Concubine Xian and the fourteenth son of the emperor. He went abroad to study in his early years, but now it seems that he has not come back for two years.

I don’t know this life——

"Damn bitch, General, bite her to death!"

Suddenly there was a tender and childish yell from the front, followed by vague dog barks and screams.

"Who's making the noise up front?"

Concubine Xian's eunuchs and maids immediately guarded her.

Xie Zhaozhao's expression changed slightly, he lifted up his skirt and ran forward quickly.

When she got to the corridor, she saw Yunyao running forward with a white face from a distance, with a long-haired mastiff chasing behind him.

The two maids beside Yunyao fell not far away, being held down by two women.

One had claw marks on his face, and the other's dress was torn in several places, with blood stains still oozing from it.

"Thank you -" Yunyao cried and shouted immediately when she saw Xie Zhaozhao.

The mastiff pounced towards Yunyao at this moment.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't have time to think too much, he quickly stepped forward, pulled Yunyao behind him, and kicked the mastiff in the head.

The mastiff flew out with a "whimper".

boom!
It fell heavily to a distance of two feet, tossed twice before getting up, and completely stopped moving.

Xie Zhaozhao turned around and asked, "Are you injured?"

Yunyao shed tears and kept shaking her head, "I didn't, but Cai Mulberry and Sophora japonica -"
