The news of Xinjun's succession to the throne and Enke's meeting soon became a hot topic of public opinion in the capital. Other negative news, such as the situation in Liaodong, the post-disaster food shortage, or the prince's infirmity, quickly stole the limelight. It's not going untalked about, but it's no longer the center of the conversation.

The Jokhang Frontier has been peaceful for more than 30 years, and there are not many people who still remember how terrible the Beirong army is, and even if there are still people who remember, it is because the result of the war that year ended with the victory of the Jokhang, and they did not take the attack of the Beirong people too seriously. Anyway, the imperial court has already sent troops to resist, so it must be safe and sound in three or two months, right? The cold winter in Liaodong is not easy, and the Beirong people may not have much upper hand compared with the garrison in Liaodong. Even if it can pose a certain threat in a short period of time, it will be weak in the future.

What the officials and people in other regions think, the people in the capital do not know. But within the capital, most people were not too worried about the situation in Liaodong. Even the possible shortage of military rations has only caused concern among a small number of officials. After all, there was a rain disaster in Zhili this year, but Jiangnan and Huguang had a bumper harvest, and after a while, there would be enough grain to be transported to the capital and Liaodong.

There is still a lot of singing and dancing inside and outside the capital, and there are many people who discuss Liaodong and food issues, and they may not have paid attention to the ownership of the lord of the harem after the new monarch succeeds to the throne. No matter what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's physical condition is, it is already clear that he will succeed to the throne in three months, but the crown princess's condition is getting worse day by day, and God knows if she will be able to survive this winter? If she has three longs and two shorts, then she will not choose the crown princess, but the queen! What do the emperor and the queen mother think about this issue?

The circle of the official eunuch family secretly paid attention to this matter very enthusiastically. You know, the family that is most likely to give birth to a new queen is among them.

In this bustling scene, Qin Hanzhen still lives her quiet little life, regularly governing the board, entering the palace, returning to her parents' home, reading, practicing calligraphy and painting every day. As for the news from the outside world, someone will report it to her, and there is gossip at all levels. As long as she wants to listen, someone will tell her the answer, and she can tell people to pay attention to the topics that interest her. Of course, she is not such a gossip person, so she will not really send out the eyes and ears of the Suning County Mansion to inquire about gossip and trivial matters. She just wanted to know what the outside public opinion had to say about the various major events that were happening in this eventful season. If there is any important remark or interesting anecdote, she can also take it into the palace and tell the Queen Mother to listen to it and make the old man happy.

The Queen Mother seems to be quite busy lately, and occasionally spending time with Qin Hanzhen and other juniors, listening to some interesting things outside the palace is a rare moment of relaxation. The biggest impact of the crown princess's serious illness is that there is no one in charge of harem affairs, the princess is not in high status, and it is okay to act for a period of time, but it is impossible to really preside over the overall situation. Not to mention that the palace is now at a critical moment, since the preparation of the throne ceremony, and the preparation for the crown prince's accession to the throne, but also to vacate the palace, prepare the emperor to be the empress, with the harem to avoid the deep palace, and the concubines who are preparing to ascend the throne and the queen mother, concubines and concubines who are currently living in Cining and Shoukang palaces How to arrange it is also a trouble. Since the crown princess can't do these words, naturally the queen mother can only come forward. The princess took two harems with a slightly higher rank to give the queen mother a hand, and there were still a lot of things to deal with every day.

Of course, Qin Hanzhen couldn't help with this kind of thing, so he could only say more good things to make the Queen Mother happy and let her relax. However, as a result, the number of times she saw the princess also increased. In the past, she didn't pay much attention to this Wang family girl, most of them inquired about each other's news from the mouths of others, and only knew that in the ups and downs of the Wang family in the past few decades, only this Wang Concubine was the most stable, and when the Wang family was in the limelight, her position did not improve, but the Wang family was down, and her status was not shaken. Regardless of whether she had helped the Wang family or not, now seeing her calmly assisting the Queen Mother in handling various tricky affairs, and her appearance of not being arrogant or impatient, Qin Hanzhen knew that it was not unreasonable that she could still maintain her position in the harem.

If it weren't for the bad luck of the princess, who gave birth to two children in a row and didn't keep them, and ran into an ambitious eldest brother, maybe her fate would be completely different, right? I don't know if the emperor would have promoted her position to the next level after abdicating? Anyway, as a concubine of the imperial examination, as long as she can't be in the position of the queen mother, no matter how high her position is, it will be meaningless.

Qin Hanzhen had such a thought in his heart, but his feet turned and walked on the road to the East Palace.

Every time she entered the palace and saw the Queen Mother, she had to go to the East Palace to greet the crown princess again. Although under normal circumstances, she would not be able to see the princess herself, but it is always good to meet the lord of Minshun and inquire about the princess's condition. The situation of the crown princess is becoming more and more unsatisfactory, and if it continues like this, it may not be able to hold the crown prince's enthronement ceremony. Could it be that the crown princess Tang will become the first crown princess in the history of this dynasty to fail to survive the day when her husband sits safely on the throne of the emperor? If this is the case, in view of the mistakes she had committed in the death of the great emperor and grandson, she may not even be able to obtain the grace of posthumously crowning the empress.

Qin Hanzhen sighed secretly in his heart as he walked into the East Palace. As she expected, the crown princess still failed to meet her in person today.

Lord Minshun personally came out to apologize to her, and said in a low voice: "The mother concubine is not in good spirits, except for waking up for a short time this morning, she is in a coma at other times. It's rare for her to sleep so deeply, and I can't bear to disturb her. Sister-in-law forgives sins......"

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly said: "What's this? I was just worried about the condition of the crown princess, so I came to ask for peace, not with the intention of disturbing her." Why should my family be polite? The fact that the princess can sleep peacefully will definitely help her condition, and I can only be happy for her, so how can I complain? But the county lord, your dark circles are so heavy, have you slept well? It seems that you have lost some weight than the last time I saw you, and you can guarantee three meals a day on weekdays? Although the county lord is filial and worried about the princess's illness, if the princess has not yet recovered, you will be tired and sick first, won't it make His Royal Highness the prince and the princess worry and sad? Please also ask the county lord to take care of himself. ”

Lord Minshun's eyes turned red, and he bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, I'm fine, maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Now that my mother is sleeping peacefully, I'll go and make up for sleep in a while. ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed, seeing that the county lord of Minshun frowned slightly, he seemed to be a little depressed, thought about it, and said tentatively: "Recently, there have been many rumors outside the palace, some of which are very unreliable. If the county lord heard something, he didn't have to pay attention to it. People who are close to the palace know that those rumors are nonsense, but they are just good people who have nothing to do, and they just chew their tongues to pass the time, who will take it seriously? The county lord is in the palace, and the closest relatives around him are the most effective people in the country, and the county lord's words are much more credible than those gossip. If you don't believe in the county lord, you can go out of the palace and see who the world believes more than what you say?"

Lord Minshun smiled a little embarrassedly, lowered his head and said, "I also know that those words are unreliable, it's just ...... It's inevitable that you will be upset when you hear it. My mother is still alive, and they are looking forward to replacing her......"

Qin Hanzhen patted her hand lightly, tried to change the topic, and inquired about the crown princess's recent medication, eating, and rest. Since the county lord of Minshun feels that the crown princess's condition has been alleviated, it is always safest to talk about these things.

It's just that when she left the palace, her mood was much heavier than when she entered the palace. Even if the county lord of Minshun was happy that the crown princess was able to sleep peacefully, the crown princess's other symptoms did not improve at all, and she did not seem to have improved, but more like it had worsened. The reason why I can sleep peacefully is not that I can finally rest peacefully, but more like I am delirious, or I am in a coma. It seems that the crown princess's heart is really serious, has she finally woken up and knows what kind of situation she is in, and she has lost the will to live? If she really dies, maybe she can still keep her name behind her. But if she survives, it is still unknown whether she can be crowned queen, but the queen mother and the emperor will not have much affection for her. I'm afraid that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not still be thinking about the friendship between husband and wife in the past twenty years, right?

Qin Hanzhen sighed and returned to the Junwang Mansion. Regarding the crown princess's condition, she didn't mention a word to others. Presumably, the queen mother, the emperor and the crown prince all know it in their hearts, and she is an outsider, so she doesn't have to talk much.

After the Wanshou Festival, it was Qin Jian's wedding. At the same time, Qin Shutao's letter of appointment also came down. As he and Qin Zhonghai brothers were optimistic about in advance, he was appointed as the five-grade minister of the Zhili Punishment and Prosecution Department, and he would go to Baoding to take office within a month. Qin Jian's wedding banquet is also Qin Shutao's practice banquet. Many of his old friends and relatives came to the feast and saw him off by the way.

accompanied by Xu Rong. Since Baoding is not far from the capital, he will follow his future father-in-law to Baoding for a few months, and then return to Beijing to take the exam when the next spring county exam begins. His new husband did not let him be idle, because Mr. Liu's own brother lived in Baoding, and also opened an apprenticeship in Baoding, and Mr. Liu had prepared a handwritten letter and a gift for the student Xu Rong to bring to his younger brother. In the few months in Baoding, Xu Rong not only had to follow his father-in-law to increase his knowledge and experience his communication skills, but also had to accept the teachings of his uncle every day, and his life must have been very fulfilling. On Qin Jian's wedding day, he arrived at the Chengenhou Mansion one step ahead of his parents and grandparents, and he was also very attentive to help as his future sister-in-law. It seems that he has no intention of rejecting the future that the Qin family has arranged for him.

Qin Hanzhen, as Qin Jian's cousin, although he was able to get together with several sisters today, he did not sit in one place and talk. Her identity is different now, and she was arranged to go to the table of Princess Xiuning and other royal ladies of the clan early, so she could only look at the sisters from a distance and nodded. This has to be said to be a pity. She sent Feng'er to secretly send a letter to Qin Jinhua and Qin Jinchun, leaving them to find another place to gather during the wedding banquet, and she could hear the noise of gongs and drums in the direction of the front yard.

The bride's sedan chair arrived.
