Chapter 45: Hu Xian'er in the cold palace

<!--The beginning of the chapter content--> I knelt on the ground, not daring to raise my head, not knowing what to do.
After a while, I heard the sound of a woman sobbing, I took a peek, and it turned out that Chang'e was wiping tears.
"Peng Aiqing, even you don't care about me anymore." Chang'e choked.
"Pengmeng doesn't dare, please tell me something, Master."
"Your master doesn't care about me less and less, he doesn't love me anymore."
Peng Meng lowered his head in a panic, "Where? Master once said to me personally, the most beautiful woman in the world is you, and he will love you forever."
Chang'e shook her head and said sadly, "If he really loves me so much, how can he ask you to find him a concubine over and over again?"
"This..." Peng Meng hesitated for a while, and whispered, "It is common for a big man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he is the king of a country, so how can he give his heart to only one woman. Please forgive me for this. ."
"Where did he give me his heart? Since you dedicated Hu Xian'er to him, his whole person has changed. He spends day and night in Hu Xian'er's Jinse Palace. Xian'er sings and sees Xian'er dancing.
I was so angry that I had trouble with him a few times. He occasionally stayed in my Jinxiang Palace, but when people were absent, Xian'er Baoer Xian'er was obedient to talk in sleep at night. Angrily, I threw that Hu Xian'er into the cold palace and ordered her to wash and cook every day, and not to meet the monarch. Your master couldn't bear it in his heart and refused to betray me too much, so he found all kinds of excuses to avoid me.
When there was a war, he immediately rushed to calm down, even if it was a few little thieves, he would go out himself, I know he did this on purpose, he was just to avoid me, he had long since stopped loving me. He went to the border frequently under the banner of calming down the rebels, just didn't want to see me, he hated me, he hated me. "
Peng Meng handed his hand, "I'm afraid that my mother is too worried. Although Master is the king of a country, I know that compared to dealing with the affairs of the country, his favorite is to lead soldiers to fight. Even if the border is safe, he often takes me. Hunting everywhere. It is a man's nature to be aggressive, and I hope my mother will understand this."
Chang'e didn't seem to hear what Peng Meng was talking about. Instead, she walked forward slowly, "Thinking that I was the number one beauty in a poor country and he was the number one marksman in a poor country. , Like glue like paint, envious of others, he vowed to be inseparable from me forever, and stay with me forever.
But when he became a monarch, everything changed. He listened to songs and dances, drinking wine and admiring flowers. These things that once felt particularly beautiful are now indifferent to him. When he is with me, his heart is Not on me, I can see from the look in his eyes, he is only with me out of husband and wife friendship, he is just perfunctory me. At first, I thought it was because I was too worried. It wasn't until Hu Xian'er appeared that I realized that he was tired of staying with me. "
"Actually, the matter of Hu Xian'er really has nothing to do with the Weichen. It is true that Hu Xian'er was the monarch who ordered the Weichen to propose marriage. The monarch said that he was afraid that the empress knew the objection, and specifically ordered the Weichen to tell the empress that Hu Xianer was the minister.
Niangniang should know that Hu Xian'er has been very popular these days. Not only is she good at singing and dancing but also good at charm, she was named the number one goddess in a poor country by the folks..." Peng Meng whispered and searched for the right thing in her mind. The wording, for fear that improper wording will cause killing.
"Enough." Chang'e gritted her teeth and trembled with anger.
"This... From the point of view of the mother, how to deal with it?" Peng Meng kowtowed again humblely.
"Only get rid of her!" A cold light flashed in Chang'e's eyes, and her sharp eyes were estimated to be able to split that Hu Xian'er in half.
Peng Meng shivered involuntarily, "Is the mother planning to kill her?"
"No!" Chang'e sneered. "Your master will hate me for killing her. I want him to never get that Hu Xian'er again. I want to make him feel uncomfortable for a lifetime!"
Chang'e's voice was sharp like a knife, stabbing my eardrums, and her jealous words stirred the surrounding air.
I knelt on the ground motionless like a rock, not wanting to hear the harsh sound, but those words were like daggers with wings, word by word poured into my ears, ramming in my ear canal, no one Pay attention and stab me with blood.
Peng Meng shuddered, "See you from the master, how?"
At this point, Chang'e suddenly changed to a soft voice, "Have you been lazy recently?"
Peng Meng didn’t know what it meant, and he didn’t dare to be abrupt. He told the truth,
Return to the mother, in recent days, Sun Monarch is still the same. There are eight out of ten days of slack in work, and once in a while, he also hurried down the mountain. Complaining about the lack of light on the crops, I fear that the harvest will be short again this year. The monarch is having a headache for this."
Chang'e sneered, her voice becoming more gentle, "Everyone has weaknesses, everyone has desires, and it is easy to cure him."
"If you have any ideas, please be honest. If you can save the people of Li people, the monarch will be grateful."
"The Aijia heard that Sun Jun has been coveting Hu Xian'er's beauty, is there such a thing?"
Pengmeng frowned, "I don't know what the empress means?"
"Since the sun is always passive and sabotaged and makes the monarch a headache, it is better to reward Hu Xian'er with a beauty to supervise him, so he won't be lazy."
Pengmeng was shocked, "Isn't that appropriate? Should we wait for the monarch to return to discuss this matter?"
Chang'e said fiercely, "I don't think it is necessary. Hu Xian'er has deceived the monarch and made the monarch unwilling to govern and has been demoted to the cold palace. Can the harem concubine leave me as an empress?"
Peng Meng whispered, "This..."
Chang'e said loudly, "Come here!"
Several maids responded immediately.
"Where is Hu Xian'er now?"
"Return to Niang Niang, Hu Xian'er is chopping wood in the wood room." A maid replied tremblingly.
"Bring her to me."
"Yes, mother."
After a while, a woman with unkempt, tear-stained faces was dragged over by several maids pushing and shoving.
Even though the woman was wearing an old dress full of stains, she still had a pink face, peach cheeks, gorgeous beauty, and poetry, but Jingchai's sarong could not hide her beauty, and she was born with beauty without carving.
I took a peek at it, but it was a pity that the beauty's little hands, these days the washing and chopping wood has been sharpened a little rough.
Chang'e looked a little proud of Hu Xian'er who was embarrassed, "How is Hu Xian'er?"
Hu Xian'er knelt on the ground, sobbing, "Thanks to the blessing of the empress, the concubine has always been well."
"The Aijia ordered you to wash and cook daily to serve the harem concubine, do you have any complaints?"
"The concubines disturbed the king's heart, and the sins are serious. They deserve to be punished. How dare you have half a complaint."
Seeing Hu Xian'er trembling and tears streaming, Chang'e became more proud, "The Ai family sees your country is beautiful, it’s a pity to wash and chop wood all day long, it just happens that the sun king wants to accept the concubine, the mourning family thinks about it, but you are not in the harem. To the right person, the Aijia wants to entrust you to serve Mr. Sun. This is just to get rid of your daily labor. I don’t know what you want?"
Hu Xian'er wiped her tears and sobbed, "The concubine Xie Niang Niang Longen."
Chang'e sneered and said, "Peng Aiqing, then I will trouble you."
"Weichen is here."
"Labor trouble Peng Aiqing sent Hu Xian'er to Sun Jun's mansion, go now."
"Now? Just go? Don't you want to freshen up her?" Peng Meng stared at Hu Xian'er, who was covered in dirt.
Chang'e covered her lips with a smirk, "Just go, Hu Xian'er is a natural beauty, no need to be carved, if a brocade dress with a beaded head full of jade, it will cover her beauty instead."
Peng Meng nodded, "Yes, Weichen obeyed."
Peng Meng led Hu Xian'er and turned and left, but heard Chang'e stop drinking behind her, "Wait!" Then she pointed at me, who was standing by with a slender finger, and sneered, "Bring her along."
