The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 333 She is truly a peerless beauty

This year in Daqi can be described as a year of natural disasters. In the spring, a nationwide drought led to no harvest in many places. In the summer, floods occurred in the south, which caused many people’s homes to be destroyed and homeless. In the winter, there were continuous snowstorms in the north. Typhoid fever was prevalent, and people died of cold and illness.

There are countless poor people.

The life of the common people was simply miserable, but this did not affect the bright lights in the imperial city.

Just in time, this year is a year of tribute. As the winter solstice approaches, vassal kings from all walks of life come to the capital in an endless stream to pay their respects. There is a big banquet in the palace on three days and a small banquet on the fifth day. All vassal kings come to the capital to pay tribute.

Before that, all the dignitaries in the capital, officials of second rank and above, and wives of the imperial family were ordered to enter the palace for a banquet. The huge banquet hall of the palace was full of people drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.

Li Ling and Jingshu were naturally among the first to be invited. The palace banquet would not end until the full moon rose into the sky. Li Ling and Jingshu left the banquet hall and walked along the palace road. They happened to meet Prince Zhao who had just returned from outside the palace.

Bi.

Zhao Bi was not present at the palace banquet today, and no one knew why. However, because the prince had always behaved erratically, no one took it to heart. Now he met Zhao Bi, and Li Ling stepped forward to salute him respectfully.

Zhao Bi helped Li Ling up with his own hands and said pleasantly: "We are all one family, cousin, there is no need to be polite." However, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Jing Shu who was standing behind Li Ling.

Although it was night, the moonlight was bright. In this hazy night, the Jingshu that fell in Zhao Bi's eyes was even brighter than the pearl at night.

When Li Ling saw Zhao Bi glancing at his wife unscrupulously, his face suddenly darkened, he moved his steps to block her in front of his wife, and said calmly: "It's getting late, I will leave the palace now, Your Highness, please walk slowly

.”

It wasn't until he heard Li Ling's displeased tone that Zhao Bi came back to his senses. He quickly replied: "Cousin, walk slowly."

Li Ling turned around and pulled his wife over, striding out of the palace.

The more he talked, the angrier he became. His hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He said bitterly: "Father, he wishes I didn't go. I'm not in front of him. Haha, he

The elderly can be happier."

Although the attendants only knew Mrs. Li Ling's surname and did not recognize Jingshu, they knew that only the old lady and the crown prince's wife were in charge of the Duke's residence. Even if they made a guess, they would know that this young woman must be the crown prince's wife.

Already.

Seeing this, the attendant beside him carefully stepped forward and tried to remind him: "Your Highness, it's getting late, it's time to go back."

Zhao Bi was losing his composure here, and a eunuch came face to face. When he saw Zhao Bi, he bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, you have finally returned. The queen has been waiting for you all night, and she has sent you over."

How could Empress Cao not know that the root cause of such an embarrassing and crisis situation for their mother and son was that she was not more popular with Emperor Ming than Concubine Meng. In fact, as a wife, she hated and resented her more than anyone else, but in this case, she could only protect her wholeheartedly.

Empress Cao felt even more sad and desolate when she said it from her own son.

As she spoke, Empress Cao, who had always been strong and decisive, couldn't help but burst into tears: "My son, you said that if you give up now, there will be no way for you to survive in the future. With Concubine Meng and Prince Jin.

The mother and son are so vicious that they can’t help but eat our mother and son alive.”

When Empress Cao saw her son, she waved away the female officials and maids in the palace, frowned and asked, "Where did you go during the banquet in the palace today?"

Zhao Bi entered the hall, gave a symbolic salute to his mother, and said with a dull face: "Why did the queen call the orphan here?"

The attendant respectfully replied: "If you return to Your Highness, the person following the Li family's eldest son will be his wife Shen."

Zhao Bi touched his palm and said, "Wonderful man! You are truly a wonderful man!"

Zhao Bi turned around after hearing the attendant's reminder. He looked at the attendant and asked, "Is that woman the wife of the heir apparent of the Li family?"

When Zhao Bi heard that it was the Queen's mother who announced him, his face immediately darkened, and he walked helplessly towards Jiaofang Hall.

Seeing that his mother was so sad, Zhao Bi not only had no compassion for his son, but turned his head to the side and replied angrily: "Even so, what can the queen do to the orphan? Humph! What will happen in the end?

It all depends on the emperor's will. Concubine Meng Guifei and her son are the ones the emperor likes. Who makes us displeased with the emperor?"

When Empress Cao saw that her son was so angry that he did not even care about her honorific title, she felt so sad that she couldn't help but shed tears and said: "As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If you are just an ordinary prince, King Jin will finally gain power."

, with the power of the Cao family in this palace, even if the new king ascends the throne, he can't do anything to us, but you are the crown prince, if you are pulled down, we will be doomed."

Emperor Ming liked the King of Jin who was born from Concubine Meng more, and he even wanted to pass the throne to the King of Jin. Although the Cao family was very powerful in the court, he couldn't help but Emperor Ming always harbored Yi Chu's thoughts. Now the courtiers

The forces supporting King Jin in China are also growing stronger.

Empress Cao, her son and the entire princeling party have reached a precarious situation.

Seeing that his mother was angry, Zhao Bi lost his temper, frowned, and replied angrily: "What does it matter if I show up or not? If I go, will my father be happy with me? Those old immortals

Will the ministers be able to stop thinking about Yi Chu?"

Today, there was a banquet in the palace. All the vassal princes and high-ranking civil and military ministers were there. In full view of everyone, the prince was absent without any reason. Empress Cao was angry and anxious. Those waiting in the Jiaofang Hall were restless.

Seeing her son's attitude, Empress Cao was so angry that she picked up the tea cup beside her and threw it at his feet. She said sternly: "Can you please have some snacks? We are having a banquet in the palace. King Gelu and other important officials in the court are all here. On such an important day, you

Why don't you show up at the banquet and go wandering outside the palace? Did you get some unknown girl in the palace again? How long has it been? You let the queen tell you what to do."

Until the two figures' backs disappeared into the hazy night, Zhao Bi still stood there stupidly, staring blankly.

Hearing this, Zhao Bi murmured: "I am still a prince in vain. Even if I have seen countless women, I have never been lucky enough to see such a peerless beauty."

Zhao Bi replied with a dull face: "What can I do? I just want to go out of the palace for a walk because I feel unwell."

She sighed deeply and looked at her son with great disappointment: "You are not young now. If you insist on not seeking to make progress, then there is nothing I can do about it. You can just do it on your own."

After saying that, she waved her hand towards her son and said, "Just go."

When Zhao Bi heard this, he didn't even say a word to comfort his mother, Empress Cao. He turned around and left the hall neatly.

I’m on the list at the end of the month, more updates to come!
