"Qianhua, come and taste, this is the pre-rain Longjing that was just sent the day before yesterday. The queen smiled lightly, filling the empty lamp for the two of them, and did not distinguish between joy and anger.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. Qianhua bowed, "I don't know why the queen mother called her sons today?" and she was so anxious.

"It's not a big deal. The queen paused for a moment and stopped what she was doing, "I just want to ask if the blue jade butterfly hairpin you asked me for a few days ago is still there?" The queen mother really likes that thing, and wants to let the construction division make another one like that." If it's convenient for you later, I'll let the pearls come with you, don't you think that's good?"

"Since the queen mother likes it, Qianhua should not take love, and it is really too arrogant to pester the queen mother that day, and now the queen mother wants to borrow it, and Qianhua should have agreed without reason. Qianhua looked ashamed and said: "It's just that the queen mother doesn't know that the hairpin is no longer here with the child." ”

"Oh, then who is this hairpin in now? Qianhua might as well tell the queen mother. The queen seemed to have an inquiry, but the understanding and confidence on her face seemed to be insightful.

Only then did Qianhua understand the queen's purpose, it turned out that it was the hairpin that looked at the red jade standing on the side and said, "Hongyu, let's talk about it." ”

"Yes, Princess. Back to Niangniang, Niangniang didn't know, the day before yesterday, the princess ran into a big snake when she was enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden, and she was too flustered when she was frightened, and lost the hairpin. Ruby stepped forward.

"Oh?" the queen's gaze wandered over the two of them, but she didn't detect a hint of panic.

"How dare the sons and daughters deceive the queen mother. If the queen mother doesn't believe it, she can send someone to inquire, and the day before yesterday, Hongyu had already gone to the construction department to report the loss. Qianhua smiled indifferently, but she was secretly glad in her heart, thanks to the meticulousness of the red jade that day, otherwise there was no evidence to say it now.

But...... Who is that person? Do you really think that she is a palace maid, and she has gone to the palaces to find someone?

The queen put down the teacup in her hand and gestured to the maidservant standing beside her.

After everyone retreated, the queen took Qianhua's hand and said: "It's not that the queen mother can't trust you, it's just that there are many people in this palace, and everything should be more hearty, so as not to be truthful." ”

After a pause, he replied: "Do you know that your father came to me today with that hairpin, and he was so angry that he almost tore off my roof. ”

"How could that hairpin be in the hands of his father?" Qianhua said hurriedly, and the man had the courage to take the hairpin to find his father?

"But why is my father angry with you?" "If you want to be angry, you should come to me, it's not that guy talking nonsense."

"That thing is not in the hands of your father, but in the hands of the Great Qi Ming King. As for why your father is angry, don't you understand? That hairpin was originally my thing," the queen explained, not noticing Qianhua's strange appearance.

"The queen mother is saying, my father suspects you and King Ming? This is not good! The son will go to his father to make it clear!" Qianhua was shocked, if the emperor and queen were disgusted because of this, she would really be unforgivable.

was about to get up, but saw the queen motioning for her to sit down, and said: "You don't have to worry, your father already knows that I gave you the hairpin, and I called you here today to ask if it is you and the king of Na Ming It seems that I am too concerned now." Since the hairpin is lost, and the construction department is registered, it will be no big problem to show your father and the emperor at that time. ”

The queen looked at her meaningfully, stretched out her hand to brush the scattered hair on her sideburns, and said: "No matter what, you should remember the words of the queen mother, and those who have achieved great things should not be rigid in small ways, let alone stumble because of the love of children." The queen mother asks you this for your own good, and you will ascend there in the future."

"Queen Mother!" Qianhua couldn't help but raise her voice, lowered her head, covered a trace of loneliness and unwillingness between her eyebrows, and when she raised it again, she had replaced it with a well-behaved and docile smile: "Erchen understands." ”

***

The Guanhai Hall is located on the south side of the palace outer garden, which is different from the bustling and lively of the Imperial Garden, and also different from the charming and misty of the Falling Moon Lake.

Outside the sea viewing hall, the milk-colored nine-song promenade is set up near the water, depending on the weeping willows, and the first appearance of the canopy, there is a beautiful and exquisite.

King Ming put his hands behind his head, leaning lazily on the fence behind him, and across the stone table sat an old man in green clothes, with a bright face.

The small pavilion is on the water, the corridor leading to all sides stands silently in the wind, the lake water is clear and translucent, and the sound of the breeze blowing willows is faintly heard in the air, quiet and serene, suitable for wine tasting and chatting.

"Isn't the prince worried?"

"Uncle Zhu, there are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it, just let it be. ”

"But this morning, Emperor Shengzhao was already furious, and now you are in such a hurry, you are not worried?"

"You see that the water of this lake is clear and you can see the bottom, but if you want to catch a fish with your bare hands, how can you catch it?" King Ming looked at the smart fish in the lake and sighed: "If we want to eat the fish in this lake today, will we be hungry?"

"Does the prince want to fish in troubled waters?" Zhu Bo's eyes lit up.

"It's good to fish in troubled waters, but if you're not careful, you can get your clothes wet. Now that my aunt has sent a net for free, why don't you fish in troubled waters at ease?" The sunlight slanted in and sprinkled on that smiling face, giving it a little more unusual style.

"That painting, exactly"

"Don't worry, my aunt won't hurt me. King Ming held the wine and pecked lightly, "This time, this king is bound to win!"

"But" Before Zhu Bo finished speaking, he was interrupted by King Ming's lazy and casual voice: "Don't Zhu Bo feel a pity if you don't appreciate such a beautiful scenery? ”

The old man looked at the man who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and he couldn't laugh or cry. And the person who made him speechless, his thoughts at this moment have long been drifting away with the spring breeze.

The Empress of Qi died early, and her uncle was also sick on the bed, and Emperor Qi was obsessed with alchemy, and favored Concubine Min, the daughter of Chen Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. The queen's two sons and daughters, the eldest princess Qi Mingluo and the third son Qi Mingyi, are not as glamorous as other heavenly sons. Although the life in the past was not satisfactory, the sister and brother had a deep friendship with the equally unpopular Yan Proton Luotian. We spent the hardest but best three years of our lives together.

Thinking of those days, King Ming couldn't help but smile at the corner of his lips.

Those days, very happy, really happy.

Stealing fish and roasting them in the Taiye Pool, stealing buns in the imperial dining room, climbing the tallest tree in the cold palace, hiding on it to watch the stars and moon, cutting off the beard of Concubine Min's big yellow cat, watching it get its head stuck in a small hole, although it is occasionally hungry, there is no thick quilt in winter, and it will often be bullied by other brothers.

At that time, I was young and naïve, and I didn't know what it was like to be sad, and I thought that such a day would be forever and ever

At that time, I didn't know that fate was so ruthless, and it was destined that beautiful things would not last long.

It turns out that the more enthusiastic the flowers bloom, the more miserable the withering

That night, turned everyone's fate around.
