July 15 is the Midyear Festival.

The ancestors of the Zhongyuan Festival have returned to the soul, salty and godly clothes, and wine and food are recommended, although they are poor, they dare not lack it. For the royal family, its sacrifice is particularly solemn and grand, Long Yin wore a dark robe and a Wusha winged crown on the emperor in Xiyuan for a month and a half, appeared in the ceremony of worshipping the ancestors, and raised his right hand.

In the past month and a half, the emperor has also been in the early court several times, sitting on the dragon chair with his hands hanging on his knees, and has not moved. In private, there were many courtiers who secretly muttered in their hearts, and the emperor's right hand was half paralyzed. But at the solemn sacrifice, the emperor raised his right hand, held the sacrificial text steadily in both hands for a quarter of an hour, and recited the sacrificial text. Then at the Zhongyuan Night Banquet that night, in front of the ministers, he made a poem to worship his ancestors.

The emperor's poetic attainments are not very good, but the emperor held the pen firmly and wrote a poem, which was completed in one go, and the handwriting was used to being clear. Is the pen that the emperor holds steadily? Wenchen eats with the pen, and the emperor relies on the pen to guide the country.

What the emperor firmly holds is power!

A few days later, King Jing and the princess both entered the palace to greet the queen Concubine De, entered the Kunning Palace according to the ceremony, and then entered the Changchun Palace where Concubine De lived. King Jing stepped into the main hall of Changchun Palace alone, Concubine De had looked at the door of the palace several times, King Jing approached, Concubine De asked, "Where is Peiyi?"

King Jing bowed again and again, and asked Fang Peiyi to say goodbye, saying, "The queen mother is a little unwell, she will come back later in Kunning Palace." ”

Concubine De was also concerned, and immediately asked, "What's the matter? Since the queen mother is not in good health, you don't have to rush over." ”

"It should be heat stroke, and the imperial doctor is being summoned over there. In Concubine De's palace, King Jing slightly faded from the elegance and modesty he had always maintained, and said indifferently: "It's the queen mother who asked me to come over and greet you first." ”

Concubine De looked at the palace maid wearing a sauce-yellow palace dress beside her, and said, "Tell Princess Sù, it is important to serve the queen wholeheartedly, and you don't have to come to me today." ”

The palace maid took the order and left, and Concubine De hurriedly greeted her son, served tea and pastries, and deliberately pointed to a plate of milk skin rolls and said: "The original cook has retired, this is made by his apprentice, you often don't have the same taste." ”

The milk skin roll is King Jing's favorite dim sum, and now he picked up a piece, put it down after only taking a bite, and said briefly: "It's almost." ”

Concubine De smiled and said to the palace maid nearby: "Reward that little slave." There were two palace maids nearby, and they all retreated together.

Concubine De's smile disappeared suddenly, and she suddenly frowned and said: "Son, what should I do for today?" At the Zhongyuan Night Banquet, in addition to writing a poem, the emperor also praised King Xiang for a sentence of "my son is pure filial piety" in front of the civil and military ministers, because King Xiang went to Songshan Zhongyue Temple to pray for half a month last month, and now the emperor's hand is good, and King Xiang has a sentence of pure filial piety.

Are these four words fluttering? These four words, on the 15th day of the seventh month of the solemn worship of the ancestors, in front of the civil and military ministers at the night banquet of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, whether they imply a deep meaning, King Jing had to think about it more, this word is a thousand words, so that King Jing is a little depressed and said: "These days, the sons always feel that their father is far away from me...... It seems to be the same as in previous years, but there is a seventh brother who is increasingly valued by his father, and I ......"

This has already caused King Jing's uneasiness, and King Jing can't speak.

"Damn!" Concubine De also fell into this uneasy feeling, and scolded angrily: "The world is really impermanent, even the son of the Tang clan dares to think about the throne." ”

Concubine Tang, Concubine De has always looked down on her, the singer who was kept in captivity by the eunuchs, still served the emperor outside the palace back then, and her son was also conceived outside the palace. That is, it is not particular to stay in the most unruly place like the royal family, and the children who are made out of the palace, the concubine is the outer room, and her son is an adultererous child.

The mother and son have such an unbearable background, and they dare to think about the throne, that is, to be a prince, which is also a good blessing that he has cultivated in his eighteen lifetimes.

The more Concubine De thought about it, the more angry she became, her hand held the corner of the table, the green tendons on the back of her hand were raised, and her face was dyed with anger and said: "Ungrateful things, I knew this was the case, and I should have been rid of him in the first place." ”

It was the twenty-fourth day of the ninth year of Yuanyou, and the Yanqing Palace where Zhang Guifei lived was on fire that day. The emperor didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the queen was confined in Kunning Palace by the prince's troops, and there was a suspicion of burning the prince's biological mother Zhang Guifei, and it burned to the emperor, and the queen's life was not guaranteed at any time, and the people in the palace were panicked for a while. The harem concubines were all placed in several palaces, and at that time, Tang Xuanzhi and the Seventh Prince still lived in her palace for more than half a month, which can be regarded as taking care of their mother and son, ungrateful.

King Jing did not refute the ruthlessness of Concubine De's outburst, if he had known that this seventh brother would become the biggest threat to him on the Emperor's Road, he should have snuffed it out when he was still a spark.

After Concubine De said two words, her chest rose and fell with anger. King Jing got up and changed his seat to Concubine De's side, stroking Concubine De's heart with one hand, and stroking the white jade wrench on his thumb with the other, which was King Jing's habitual action when he was meditating, he was still pondering, and he had already said after hesitation: "It was me who was in a hurry, and I didn't listen to the words of the queen and the Marquis of Changxing at that time." ”

The controversy over the establishment of the reserve, which was very noisy before, has gradually died out in the past few days. Especially now that the emperor has faintly lifted King Xiang up, he is invisibly competing with this wave of controversy. If King Jing goes against the emperor's wishes, the emperor will be even farther away from him, and when the time comes, it will really be put into the time when the prince will be reconsidered at the court meeting......

One blow and then three and then exhausted. Without a firm grasp of it, this call for a reserve will gradually die out.

Concubine De breathed well, held King Jing's shoulder and encouraged him: "There are so many roads at the fork, and I know that this road is not passable after walking through it." ”

King Jing nodded. The matter of establishing a reserve cannot be made by the trend, and if he wants to say that he regrets, there are many regrets. Regret, regret only when you don't do it, this is not true repentance. His resentment was pressed into the deepest part of his heart, and he whispered: "My father refuses to obey the old man!"

They are all fifty-six years old, and their health is not very good, and they still hold on to their rights and refuse to accept old age. Then he has to wait and wait, he is twenty-four years old this year, and the best years are spent waiting, his father and the emperor will not even put the title of crown prince on his head, and his waiting may still be in vain.

Seventeen years have passed, and for the first time, he personally understands why his eldest brother is still rebelling as a prince. The eldest brother waited for ten years, and what he waited for was the possibility of failure, which was enough to make people go crazy, and he was so crazy that he committed the great crime of rebellion......

Concubine De said to herself: "It's also strange, I can't understand the emperor's right shoulder injury, and the few imperial doctors who treated the emperor's injury at the beginning have judged that the bone injury is afraid that it will torment people when they are old, and they must not be bumped for the second time." For this reason, the emperor has not been able to hunt for more than ten years, so he is afraid of bumping into it, being cautious, or falling down, how can it be good. ”

The last few words were said very lightly and briefly, which meant that the emperor was not good, and King Jing replied in disappointment: "I heard that it was Zhou Side who sacrificed the pill and ate it." ”

Buddhism and Taoism, the emperor has always believed in Taoism, and he often eats some pills that can be fierce and can increase longevity year after year. On this road of asking for immortals, Zhou Side is the emperor's best Taoist friend, and now he claims to be ninety-nine years old, and he does have a bit of immortal wind and dao bones, he is in charge of the Daolu Division, and presides over the famous palace view, and this time the refined pill has eaten the emperor's pain again. Concubine De covered the back of King Jing's hand and sighed: "This person has great talents and ghost talents, you have to come over." ”

King Jing smiled bitterly: "This bull-nosed old man has a more stubborn temper than a cow. ”

I have long wanted to entrap him, and I have tried many times, but this person can't pry. The emperor is such a trusted person, he is not completely sure, and he can't roll up his sleeves and pry people over.

Everything seems to be going wrong, and I can't do anything about it for a while. Concubine De could only change the topic, and asked again: "Peiyi's body is okay? ”

King Jing showed a little joy at this time, and said happily: "It's an active child, Fang said that the child has been able to kick people in the past few days." ”

"That's good, that's good. Concubine De couldn't help but look at the palace door. She actually wanted to take a look at her grandson, and her grandson who was still pregnant in her belly also loved to see it, but Fang Peiyi had been in Kunning Palace, she sent the palace maid and said that she didn't have to come, and Fang Peiyi really couldn't come.

The joy on King Jing's face gradually subsided. He cautiously pondered the reminder Zhu Miaohua gave him a few days ago, and asked Concubine De first: "Mother, how is Concubine Jing's body recently, but you have been declared a doctor, how many times has you been a doctor?"

Concubine De is in charge of the harem, which is in charge of some trivial palace affairs, such as the matter of the harem concubines calling the imperial doctor for a period of time, she takes a unified look, if the low-level concubines do not have the qualifications to directly call the imperial doctor, there is still a request to her here. Suddenly talking about Concubine Jing was very abrupt, Concubine De said curiously: "Why did you mention her? She has always been in good health, and she doesn't have a headache and brain fever a few times a year, but I haven't paid much attention to it." ”

Fortunately, the mother and son can talk at will, King Jing said: "The mother concubine takes care of Concubine Jing these days, and the ninth brother, if Concubine Jing dies of a sudden illness, you must let the ninth brother and the mother concubine get close." ”

Concubine De pondered the deep meaning for a while, the ninth prince born to Concubine Jing is only four years old this year, if Concubine Jing suddenly dies, the young prince still needs other concubines to raise. The emperor's youngest son, which concubine to raise, still has a little symbolic meaning, at least it represents the emperor's trust, at least to say that it represents the emperor's trust, to the big one, after a hundred years of the emperor, he will entrust everything to the successor monarch, the emperor, and the minor children in the harem.

Concubine De's behavior has always been square, she only looks at the small, and it is not a taboo for her to get the emperor's trust. Concubine De agreed first and said, "I will walk around with Concubine Jing more in the future." ”

King Jing stood up slowly, his eyes dark. He was thinking deeply about Zhu Miaohua, this person was so strange, she just knew about things outside the palace, and the things in the palace, even her mother didn't pay attention to them, so she mentioned it?

This person is mysterious and mysterious!
