Chapter 6: The Arrangement of the King and Queen

After the little girl, the fifth princess, climbed out of the window on the left side again, and walked so far away that she could no longer hear a sound, Wei Hua turned out of the compartment, bowed to Qin Siyang again, and said, "Is there anything else with Your Highness?"

Since the fifth princess Qin Sijing left from the bedside, Qin Siyang has been looking at the top of the gauze tent with her handsome eyes open, her eyes are hooked, she hasn't blinked for a long time, she doesn't know what she is thinking. It wasn't until Wei Hua walked back to his bed www.biquge.info and bowed and asked this sentence that Qin Siwei came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Wei Hua, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, you go out first, and come back to get the letter back in two days." ”

Wei Hua was surprised, he didn't want Qin Siyang to reply to the letter two days later, in the past, as soon as he, the crown prince, received the letter, he hurriedly wrote a reply letter and asked him to send it immediately. How did you change sex today? wanted to ask the reason, but saw that the prince was just silent, he thought for a moment, but still endured the question in his heart, bowed his head and agreed yes, then he didn't delay any longer, and left quietly as when he came.

Qin Siyang didn't care how Wei Hua left, just lay on the bed, his eyes staring straight up, motionless. I don't know how long it was, until the maid of the palace came into the palace and invited him to dinner. Only then did he get up and put on his coat under the service of the palace maid, and went to the outer hall of the East Palace to eat.

What Qin Siyang didn't know was that not long after he was carried back to the East Palace by the palace maid and the female history, Fang Xinyi, the empress of the harem, came to Kunning Palace and explained his unlucky encounter to the queen and queen.

"Hua'er is really getting more and more unspeakable. Queen Wang scolded angrily.

"The second princess's temperament, if you don't change it, I am afraid that it will make a bigger mess in the future. Fang Xinyi said worriedly.

"She is too ignorant," Queen Wang scolded again, and immediately ordered her cronie eunuch Zhao Sheng, to order, "Go and call the second princess." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Sheng agreed and walked out.

Zhao Sheng went to find the second princess, but the anger in Queen Wang's heart still couldn't calm down, she paced around the palace irritably, and it took a long time to forcibly suppress the anger in her heart. The eunuchs and palace maids who waved their orders to serve left and right all retreated. It wasn't until only she and Fang Xinyi were left in Ruoda's palace that she asked in a deep voice, "What happened to the Yangtze River water transport?"

Fang Xinyi bowed and said, "Yesterday, I received a letter from Lu Wanqiu, and the channels for shipping on the Yangtze River have all been opened?"

The queen nodded, and then asked, "How are you now?"

Fang Xinyi bowed his head and said: "Now the Yangtze River shipping, the Shu hemp and tribute transported from Sichuan and Shu, as long as it reaches the Three Gorges of the Shu River, nine out of ten ships will be capsized, and half of the capsized ships can be hijacked by us." Chu Jing and Wu Yue's grain, salt, silk cotton, porcelain, tea, etc., were also looted in the various sections of the river transported. From the time of departure to the transfer of these goods to the canal waterway, a total of six to seven ships could be held hostage out of ten ships. ”

Queen Wang nodded with satisfaction, pondered for a while, and said: "Other goods can be robbed more, only grain and salt, these two are related to the fortune of the country, and it is not appropriate to rob more." You immediately wrote back to Lu Wanqiu, grain and salt, ten ships to keep one-well, keep five. ”

Fang Xinyi put her hands on her chest and said, "Yes." ”

I only heard Queen Wang say in a deep voice: "Now the emperor's condition is good and bad, and I don't know how long it will last, and the crown prince will not be far off to succeed to the throne." We must not have another problem at this time. ”

Fang Xinyi's face trembled: "Is the emperor's illness really not going to get better?"

Queen Wang shook her head: "It's impossible to look at it." ”

"So fast. Fang Xinyi frowned.

The queen nodded, and then asked, "What is the current situation of the crown prince?"

"It's still the same as when I returned to the palace two years ago, cold and stubborn, and I don't intersect with anyone. Fang Xinyi replied.

"Hehe, it's good for him to do that. Queen Wang sneered, "What about those old men recently, are they still looking for the prince?"

"I've been looking for it all along," Fang Xinyi replied, "but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just hasn't seen anything." Because of this, those old men cried bitterly every day, especially the university scholar Zhong Xuanchong, who heard that he had been sick for three days in a row, and the coffin at home was ready. ”

"Hmph, these self-righteous old guys are always working against Bengong, do you really think that Bengong is a soft persimmon, let them pinch it? ”

"Niangniang?-" Fang Xinyi exclaimed.

Queen Wang waved her hand: "Okay, you don't have to worry, I know that they are all elders of the Three Dynasties, and they can't be moved easily." No matter how angry I am, I won't really do anything to those old men. ”

"If you don't move, you don't move, but you should also be prepared. Fang Xinyi was blessed again.

Queen Wang narrowed her eyes: "Prepare, are you afraid that those old men will come to rob the prince?"

"Yes. Fang Xinyi nodded and said, "This can't be unguarded, although Niangniang clearly adopted the prince, she is not the prince's biological mother after all, and the two are not connected." The prince's temperament is dull and silent, and he never says anything in his heart, if he accumulates like this, it will be difficult to ensure that there will be no trouble after a long time. ”

The queen stood with her head tilted her head and asked, "Then according to Xinyi's meaning, what should I do?"

Fang Xinyi lowered her head and thought for a long time and said, "Three days later, March 28 is the thirteenth birthday of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's not a full year's birthday, but it's still a day. Why didn't Niangniang take this opportunity to come out with a scene, firstly, to give the prince enough face, and secondly, to let those courtiers see their future monarch clearly at once. ”

The queen covered her hands and pondered for a long time. She understood what Fang Xinyi meant, saying that it was for the prince, but now that the emperor is sick, she can't afford to take care of these things anymore. In this way, the highest person on the prince's birthday can only be her. The prince is a child, born and lonely, he couldn't say anything that day, and at this birthday banquet, naturally everything was decided by her, the queen. Hehe, this is the best, and it will also let those courtiers see clearly who is the person in charge of this palace. Thinking of this, Queen Wang nodded again and again: "Okay, that's it." On this birthday of the prince, you should be more attentive, be prepared for everything, invite all those trouble-making ministers, and the palace will have a good time with them. ”

"Yes. Fang Xinyi agreed.

As he was talking, he heard someone in the courtyard of the palace gate shouting: "What is the matter, the queen mother must call the child urgently, and it will not work if she does not come." ”

Before the sound fell, I saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids holding the second princess Qin Sihua striding in from the main entrance, turning the screen, and coming to the front of the queen.

The two princesses did not salute when they met, and with their usual favor, they only stopped and called to the queen: "Good mother." But he didn't pay any attention to Fang Xinyi who was standing aside.

Instead, Fang Xinyi slowly stepped forward and saluted the second princess, and the eunuch Zhao Sheng and the eunuchs and palace maids also came forward to salute the queen and Fang Xinyi, and then stepped aside.

Queen Wang looked at this spoiled daughter, and she was angry in her heart, but in the end, she was also favored by her heart, so she could only stare at her, and only after a while did she get some anger and said with a cold face: "You are embarrassed to ask." Tell me, why are you pushing the prince into the rain when you're fine, what do you want to do?"

Qin Sihua heard that her mother was looking for her, and knew that it must be for this matter, so she had already prepared in her heart, and smiled disapprovingly: "What should I do, it's this again." Aunt Fang has said that I have a round before, and the queen mother will come to say, I know, I borrowed it, okay, the queen mother will let me go, don't say it again. "Speaking of which, it turned out to be coquettish.

Queen Wang's face sank: "Hua'er, you really know that you are wrong. ”

"Yes, the child knows that he is wrong. ”

Queen Wang looked at this daughter coldly. said that she knew that she was wrong, but a discerning person could see that she didn't take it seriously at all. couldn't help but shout again: "What are you going to do, when this is child's play." Do you know that your seventh emperor brother is the crown prince of the dynasty, the emperor who went down, the king of a country, do you know? Is he a person who can do whatever you want? You are so big and small, you really think that you are the daughter of this palace, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, you can come to everything randomly, you can do whatever you want? You are just a princess, after all, you are also a girl, and in the end you still have to marry someone else's family and be a daughter-in-law to others, when the time comes, what else can you do, dare to come to the king of a country? and you still want the queen mother to protect you, where do you put your royal face?"

After the words of Queen Wang, although the reason was all above, Qin Sihua still didn't want to listen to it, and he resisted it in his heart, and turned his face away with his mouth shut, looking evasive.

Queen Wang looked at her daughter, and her heart was even more troubled, and she couldn't help sighing, and said: "It seems that it is the fault of this palace, I spoiled you too much before, and indulged you too much, so I raised you to such a temperament that does not know the height of the sky." That's it, I can't control you anymore, you're sixteen this year, it's time to find a mother-in-law to marry, and let your mother-in-law take care of you. ”

Saying that, Queen Wang turned her head to look at Fang Xinyi, and Zhengse ordered, "Xinyi, you go down and keep more snacks, see which family has a good master, it is best to be powerful, it doesn't matter if you have a little bit of a family, as long as you can shock the second princess, who is a bopi child." Hey, this matter must be done quickly, and the second princess can no longer be allowed to live in the palace. ”

"Yes. Fang Xinyi agreed.

Qin Sihua couldn't help but shouted: "Queen Mother, how can you be like this, for the sake of that cold-faced and cold-hearted prince, you want to drive me away." ”

But the queen didn't want to pay more attention to her, but just scolded a few more words with a straight face, and said something to ask her to pay more attention, so she asked her to reflect on herself.

Qin Sihua still protested repeatedly, but it was useless, and in the end, he could only worship the queen with a sad face, and turned around and left stupidly. While walking, he was still angry and vented his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Which bastard prince did it, if only he didn't come back, the queen mother wouldn't do this to me. It's really infuriating, why didn't he just die outside, and what did he run back to do, he was so angry, he was really angry. ”

Qin Sihua only scolded by her own temperament, completely ignoring the eunuchs and palace maids who followed her. didn't even notice that the fifth princess Qin Sijing, who followed her to Kunning Palace to inquire about the news.

Three days later, his birthday came as scheduled without Qin Siyang being specifically informed.

In fact, if he didn't tell him about this birthday, Qin Siyang didn't bother to care. I remember that in the nearly two years of wandering, the first time he came to his birthday, he followed Liu Shuangli in Xuanhua City, when they had just gone to pay homage to Chen Qiqing's daughter's family, Liu Shuangli was feeling sad in his heart, and he didn't mention his tenth birthday. The second time, it was because of him, they went to Monte together, and a series of things happened on Montenegro that he didn't bother to remember his birthday.

Therefore, it was not until he returned to the palace that Liu Shuangli knew exactly what his birthday was. It's just that by this time, Liu Shuangli couldn't celebrate his birthday with him anymore, and the previous year's birthday was made up together after Qin Siyang went out of the palace to hunt again. And the two can celebrate their birthdays together, which is what Qin Siyang wants to get the most of this birthday gift.

This time, Liu Shuangli left Beijing for a long trip, because he couldn't predict when the letter would reach him, so he sent a birthday gift a month in advance, it was a clay figure she made by herself, and her demeanor really looked a little like Qin Siyang. Qin Siyang liked it very much when he saw it, and asked her to pinch another one in the reply, and this time he wanted to pinch her appearance to make a pair.

Liu Shuangli saw the reply, but he smiled knowingly, but he didn't pinch it immediately as he asked, but replied that he didn't know what he looked like now, and asked him to draw a picture for her to reference, so that she could follow it.

Because of this, when he was busy preparing a birthday banquet for the prince in the palace, Qin Siyang, the main party, hid alone in the house, avoiding everyone, and secretly painted a portrait of the person in his heart. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
