Chapter 333 There are so many princes that they are worthless
Lead powder is used on the face to make the skin smooth and white like a cardamom girl. However, it can have serious side effects and damage the liver and kidneys. It is difficult to find such covering materials on the market that damage the elements and roots. Concubine Hui did not believe in evil. In order to make Emperor Rui look at her more, she ordered the palace servants to buy rare lead powder from the ghost market and used it for several days. As a result, Emperor Rui did not see her, but she One morning when she woke up, she had a severe headache and frightening spots on her face. She was so frightened that she hurriedly announced that she would enter the palace.
Fortunately, Bai Yao had superb medical skills and performed acupuncture to detoxify her. The headache was much better, but the dull and sallow color on her face was not as good as before using lead powder.
It's really a waste of effort.
"Okay, okay," Concubine Hui was very impatient, "Don't just talk about me. I am trying to win favor in front of your father with this old face. Why? It's not all for you!"
"You ungrateful brat!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Chengyi smiled and said, "Concubine, please eat well and drink well in your bedroom, and don't be too ostentatious. My son, I know it well."
Although her son's words were unbearable, Concubine Hui felt inexplicably happy when she heard the words.
She raised the enamel-chiselled gold armor on her little finger, pinched a sour plum from the table and put it into her mouth, "Have you heard about what happened in court yesterday?"
Zhuo Chengyi lifted up his robe and sat back on the stool, "Did the mother-in-law talk about Meng Quan's demotion?"
Concubine Hui was noncommittal, "Do you want me to come forward and terminate your engagement with that Meng Qingxue?"
Zhuo Chengyi crossed his legs again and said, "My mother-in-law has not been out of the house recently and is recuperating in her bedroom. Have you ever heard of the interesting things outside the palace?"
Concubine Hui blinked her confused eyes, "What's the matter?"
Zhuo Chengyi narrated to Concubine Hui how Meng Qingxue caused chaos in Dongshi and got into a fight a few days ago, and was later imprisoned and fed for five days by the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division. Concubine Hui was stunned when she heard this. Stunned.
Zhuo Chengyi thought that Concubine Hui would despise Meng Qingxue's domineering and mindless behavior after hearing his words. However, Concubine Hui, who had always been on the same page as him, did not disappoint him. What she said left him speechless. Extremely.
"Does she have no brains? She wants to teach people a lesson. Why does she ask so many servants to do this? Isn't this just giving her own clues to others? She should be secretly waiting for the woman who snatched her seat to come out and stop her in the dark. Alley, just give him a good beating! Stupid!"
Zhuo Chengyi pinched his brows, took a deep breath, and patiently said to Concubine Hui: "What I mean is that Meng Qingxue is both mindless and bad in character. Now that the Meng family has been overthrown, my marriage... .....”
Concubine Hui was not too confused about the important matter. She frowned and analyzed for a moment, then said sternly to Zhuo Chengyi: "If the Guangmeng family falls and you insist on breaking off the engagement, my mother-in-law would like to persuade you. You will be the heir in the future. A man of great authority should not add insult to injury when someone speaks lightly. Meng Quan is favored by your father, and there is no chance of him recovering in the future. But since Meng Qingxue has ruined the family so much, if you marry her, you will only become a laughing stock in the eyes of others."
"Okay!" Concubine Hui slapped the table, "Tomorrow I will take action to cancel your engagement."
"It's just," Concubine Hui hesitated again, "What kind of princess should I choose for you?"
Zhuo Chengyi said: "Let's discuss this later. There are so many girls from aristocratic families. You can see which ones are about to get haircuts. Don't just stare at those noble girls on the market. It's very boring."
A charming figure appeared in Zhuo Chengyi's mind, and he asked: "Is there any girl in the Shang family who is about to get haircut?"
That one should have some kind of sister, maybe she's 70% or 80% as good looking as her Xia Ziyueyun.
"You brat," Concubine Hui sneered, "What are you thinking? The Shang family is Zhuo Lingchu's maternal family. If my mother and concubine can help you get married, do you dare to marry her?"
Zhuo Chengyi was instantly discouraged. Well, he was just thinking about it.
Concubine Hui thought of something, "Yi'er, I haven't been to the romantic field recently. Although your father doesn't care about you, the influence is so bad. Look at your eighth brother or fifteenth brother. Don't you have trouble with women?" Is something wrong?"
Zhuo Chengyi's eighth brother contracted a heart disease in a brothel and was sent to the outskirts of Zhuangzi by Emperor Rui to recuperate in isolation. It was said that it was very serious and might even hurt his life.
His fifteenth brother drank some ecstasy soup and insisted on marrying a brothel girl as his concubine. Emperor Rui was so angry that he demoted his fifteenth brother to a commoner. Since he wanted to sleep with a prostitute, it would be fulfilled. he.
Anyway, there are so many princes in Xijing that they are worthless.
Zhuo Chengyi sneered at Concubine Hui's admonition, "If I don't pretend to be a dandy who hangs out in the flower house, the eldest and second brothers should notice me." He put down his crossed legs, his expression became serious, "Concubine Among the eighth and fifteenth brothers I just mentioned, which one didn’t originally have pretty good qualifications, excelling in reading and martial arts among the princes, but suddenly he got the upper hand and liked to hang out with brothel girls?”
Concubine Hui's face turned a little pale with fright.
"Before the eldest brother was here, the son hid his clumsiness to save his life. Now that the second brother is back, the son hid his clumsiness." Zhuo Chengyi raised a smile on his lips, "It was to take advantage of his unpreparedness and give him a surprise blow."
Looking at her son's determined expression, Concubine Hui seemed to be inspired by him and slapped the case hard, "Son, I support you!"
"Don't forget, you have the Ye family backing you to play with power. Can that brat Zhuo Lingchu stand up to your cabinet minister's grandfather?"
Mother and son looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Concubine Hui was in a good mood and left Zhuo Chengyi to have a meal in her bedroom.
The dishes on the dinner table were all cooked according to the medicinal recipes left by Dr. Bai Zhuo for Concubine Hui's health. Zhuo Chengyi frowned as he ate this meal.
"Why doesn't that girl Wan'er come over?" Concubine Hui picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of ginseng chicken soaked in medicinal fragrance for Zhuo Chengyi.
The maid replied: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is feeling unwell. He is using some easy-to-melt meals in his dormitory. He will not come to dine with you, My Majesty."
Concubine Hui waved her hand nonchalantly, "Let her go."
Zhuo Chengyi looked at the yellow chicken nuggets in the bowl and pouted, pinched his nose and took a bite, swallowing it while holding back the nausea. After a long while, he said: "She must have seen me coming. That’s why I didn’t dare to come over.”
"Why?" Concubine Hui was puzzled.
Zhuo Chengyi snorted, "She didn't complete the task I gave her."
Concubine Hui was not interested in asking any more questions. Her children had been quarrelsome since they were little. She took a sip of chicken soup and reminded her: "Don't lead your sister astray. She is simple-minded and has nothing to do with you." Same."
Zhuo Chengyi's lips twitched, "Does the concubine dislike your only son so much?"
