There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 97

"In October, the emperor will take all the princes and ministers to hunt, and then we will all go!"

"It just so happens that one of you is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the other is the granddaughter of the Marquis of Nan'an. One from the south and the other from the north are rare women in our Great Xia Dynasty. When the time comes, you will make good use of your skills and give us a big favor." Xia Chao’s daughters set an example!”

The queen looked at Tang Wanning with a smile, the meaning in her eyes was too obvious.

'My old lady can't cure you. Now that my old lady has a daughter-in-law who is better than you in every way, why are you so arrogant? '

'This time I must embarrass you, just wait for me! '

Receiving the queen's unfriendly gaze, Tang Wanning's heart turned cold, but her face was still full of smiles.

"The queen mother is really overrated, and the daughter-in-law can't bear the title of a woman! She was too naughty when she was at home before, and she didn't learn any kung fu. She made a lot of troubles, so there's nothing to do!"

Tang Wanning was very worried.

The queen's smile became even brighter: "You child is too modest! I have heard about the brave and invincible Marquis of Zhenbei for a long time. How could his daughter know nothing!"

"Okay, there's no need to talk about this matter, it's settled! Lan'er, do you have any objections?!"

The queen looked confidently at her daughter-in-law who was equally confident.

"It's up to the queen mother to decide everything!" Jin Lan'er bowed her knees and saluted obediently, with a smug smile on her lips.

Her surname is Jin, and Lan'er is her boudoir name. Because both her grandfather and father are good at water warfare, the names of the children of the family are mainly based on the word "Shui".

In addition, the Jin family started with military exploits, and all the children in the family are martial arts. Even if she is a daughter, she has to go to the family to learn martial arts.

But she is a lady after all, and in the future she will talk about marriage and marriage, so she can't always play with these things, so after school every time she goes home, she has to learn female red knitting, reading and writing, poetry and chess.

She lived a more tiring life than the men in the family, and no one knew what she had gone through these years.

Now she is finally 16 years old, finally has the ability to be able to read and write, and finally married into the royal family as she wished.

There is even a chance to be the mother of the world, to become the most noble woman, and to be a role model for all women in the world.

She will never give up.

By that time, all her hard work will not be in vain, and all the sweat will be worth it.

Of course, she is better than everyone else, and she deserves it, right?

Jin Lan'er raised her head high, imagining the moment when she became the Queen's mother.

And the real queen on the side was looking at the daughter-in-law she had chosen with admiration, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

"it is good!"

"As expected of coming from the Jin family, you really have courage and courage!"

She smiled and glanced at Tang Wanning, her words were sarcasm, "I hope that when the time comes, the third family will not disappoint me, your background is also good!!"

"Yes!" Tang Wanning sneered in her heart, and replied respectfully.

The empress nodded contentedly, without further words, she turned her eyes to the side concubines after showing off.

She glanced at Yunshi dissatisfied, and said coldly.

"It's going to be cold the day before yesterday, so pay more attention! Don't worry about it all day long. If you catch a cold today, you'll have a fever tomorrow. There's no time to stop!"

Needless to say, it was Yun Shi who said this.

One must know that she has been sick for a long time and has not come to Fengyang Palace to serve her, especially when the queen didn't come when she needed it most, one can imagine how angry the queen is.

Yun Shi was terrified and knelt down with a plop.

"Empress, forgive me, this concubine must obey the teachings carefully, and dare not!"

Tang Wanning sneered in her heart: 'Didn't you say this for yourself?Where is Yun's qualification to claim illness? Didn't they all report it by themselves? '

But she was too lazy to say much, and simply drooped her eyelids, pretending not to hear.

After reprimanding Yun's, the queen felt completely at ease, and let them all disperse.

……

The heat in July is still hot, the sun is scorching the earth like fire, and the air is as hot as a steamer.

The masters of the palaces didn't go out very often without special business, and even the servants were much less, and the inside and outside of the palace were quite empty for a while.

Tang Waning had nothing to do, she took her big oranges to enjoy the coolness and fished by the pond in the courtyard, drinking herbal tea while holding a fishing rod, very leisurely.

In the pond, she asked someone to raise a lot of small herrings, and she would catch them for the big oranges when they were bigger.

When Xia Houjue arrived, he happened to see Tang Wanning throwing a fish he caught to Daju to eat.

The corners of his lips twitched a little: "You are free!"

"I don't have anything to be busy with, why can't I be free?" Tang Wanning looked up at him.

A gust of breeze blew through, and a few strands of hair on her forehead floated gently on her cheeks, making her look more delicate and cute than usual.

Xia Houjue's heart moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

He turned around and put up his robe and sat down beside her, picked up a cup of tea and drank it down: "Don't you want to leave the palace?"

"Hey, that tea is..."

Before Tang Wanning finished speaking, it was too late, and then both of them were a little embarrassed.

"What... what did you just say?" Tang Wanning touched her nose.

Xia Houjue shifted his gaze to the water surface uncomfortably.

"Don't you want to go out of the palace? Father has already granted me permission to go to Jiangnan for inspection next month! When the time comes..."

"Not good! His Royal Highness is not good!"

Li Dequan was suddenly shocked and rushed in, kneeling in front of the two of them sweating profusely.

Tang Wanning frowned: "Why are you so flustered? Are there any rules?"

She shouldn't have reprimanded the people around Xia Houjue, but she couldn't hold back for a moment, she hated such unstable people.

For the first time, Xia Houjue didn't object, and looked at Li Dequan equally sternly.

"Go and get ten boards by yourself, don't take it as an example!"

"Yes!" Li Dequan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"His Royal Highness, Empress of the Crown Prince! People from Chen Wang's Mansion just came to report that two main beams in the outer study suddenly broke, the central beam collapsed, and the roof caved in. His Royal Highness Chen was crushed inside, and his life and death are uncertain!"

"The news has been reported to the emperor and the central palace. The empress fainted on the spot, and the emperor was furious. He must summon His Highness immediately!"

"what?!!!"

Tang Wanning stared wide-eyed and stood up slowly.

On the contrary, Xia Houjue was still stable, with a calm expression, but his eyes were cold and frightening.

After a while, he stood up unhurriedly, curling his lips coldly.

"You don't need to summon him, I will take the initiative to see Father!" He said and walked out.

Tang Wanning wanted to ask a few questions, but Xia Houjue disappeared before she could speak.

She froze on the spot for a long time, unable to recover, and then murmured a sigh.

"The empress' trick is too ruthless!"

Isn't it just that Yun's was placed under house arrest, and she didn't help her with the marriage in the Prince Chen's mansion?Is it necessary to risk the life of one's own son by doing such a cruel trick?
What are you drawing?
