Entered the second gate, passed through the verandah, arrived at the backyard garden, a piece of snow as far as the eye could see, for today's snow feast, the prince still let the people in the palace carefully take care of the garden, and now this garden is completely different from the last prince's birthday.

The crown princess Su can't afford to be jealous in the eyes of everyone, and at this time, she is also in a sisterhood with Concubine Tong in front of a group of noble ladies.

Ji Yunliu and Yu Heng entered the second gate and were about to part ways, the maid led the way, and Qin Erniang jumped up from the first few steps and walked side by side with her.

"How many months?" Ji Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at her belly that had not yet protruded, "Look at Ning Shizi's careful ......" Until now, her teeth are itching!

"It's only been more than two months since I married my son, so naturally it's only been more than a month. The happiness in Qin Erniang's stomach all floated on her face, "Aunt Shi, this matter has not yet been known to others except in my house, so you can't leak it out later." ”

"Uh-huh," Ji Liu snorted, "Isn't your husband shouting very loudly, my wife is pregnant!"

"Oh, auntie, don't laugh at me. Qin Erniang, who wants to be a mother, finally knows what it means to be embarrassed, "Shizi is afraid that I will hurt myself...... The old man often said that the child in the belly was very squeamish in the first three months, and he couldn't say ......"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to see your happy expression to the bone, and I will help you promote happier things......" Ji Yunliu snorted twice, "No way!"

"Aunt Shi," the second lady hit the snake with the stick, "I saw that after the retreat, the sister became more and more beautiful, it was really as bright as a spring flower, and it was as pleasing to the eye as the autumn moon." ”

"Even if you hold me up to the sky, you can't make up for the pain I just had......" choked on a sore throat from a mouthful of dog food!

……

Over there, Ji Yunliu and Qin Erniang entered the backyard together, and here, Ning Shizi and the Seventh Prince also walked on the avenue to the main courtyard.

Ning Shizi's face was full of spring breeze, and the corners of his mouth were silent, but the Seventh Prince was really good and determined, not like the general climate in the previous life, he looked ahead, out of sight, out of pain, not flustered, and out of breath: "The prince told me something today. ”

Since Ning Shizi called the connections of the Seventh Prince, he was also in the same boat as King Mu, so he couldn't get down, and now when he heard what King Mu said, he turned his head: "What did the prince say?"

"The prince said that he married a side concubine, and the side concubine was charming, but he couldn't do it......" King Mu didn't hide it at all, his voice was small but calm, and there was no hint of ridicule in it, "Also, the prince is over twenty-eight years old, but there is only one daughter under his knees, and the eldest daughter is nearly seven years old......"

"The prince has no heirs...... Ning Shizi's voice was also low, he had been to Jiangxia, and he was also the main judge of King Qi's case, and he was reminded by Qin Erniang, "I sent someone to verify this matter two months ago, and my inner son once said that if a man consumes cottonseed oil for a long time, it may be hindered in giving birth to children...... Now, judging from the information found, the prince Moyo has really eaten cottonseed for a long time......"

King Mu's expression froze: "These things are forbidden in the palace, how did the prince come into contact with them?"

Ning Shizi said in a deep voice: "These things must be taken for a long time, I am afraid that there are such things in the kitchen of the East Palace, and the person who poisoned the prince is also the person who has the most authority to manage affairs in the East Palace......

Yu Heng suddenly turned his eyes to Ning Muhua and looked over.

Ning Mu's warning eyes to the Seven Princes in the picture, his expression was frank: "In the past two months, the lower ministers have been sending people to investigate this matter again, the prince has sent many singers out of the house before, and some singers are listed in Yihong Mansion in order to make a living, and the people of the subordinates have asked one by one, the prince's diet is not used much outside, and most of them are in the East Palace...... And cotton seeds are always brought in in to the East Palace every ten days, saying that they are mixed with other feed to feed the horses...... There is also a coincidence, the housekeeper and cook of the East Palace is the husband of the eldest maid next to the crown princess!"

Ning Shizi, as the commander of the guards with knives instead of those investigators in Dali Temple, was able to find out so many things in the East Palace without eyeline, which shows that he spent a lot of thought, and the previous conversation with Yuheng was called "I", but now he has become a subordinate, which also shows how serious he is about this matter.

Yu Heng thought about every word Ning Muhua said sentence by sentence, and after he groaned for a while, he stood under the pine tree on the side: "According to these things you have found out...... Could it be that it is the crown princess Su who wants the prince to have no heirs?" "The seventh prince didn't believe that the Su family would be so short-sighted, she and the prince had set up a baby kiss since childhood, and the Su family had raised the Su family as a country since childhood, so it was impossible to teach her to kill chickens and eggs like this, and besides, didn't the Su family still want Su Sanniang to enter the East Palace as a side concubine?

Ning Shizi and Yu Heng thought of exactly one thing: "No, the subordinates feel that the crown princess must not know about this, but I am afraid that the loyal maid Yue Lord has done such a poisonous thing." ”

Yu Heng gathered the wool cloak in front of him to the left and right sides with both hands, raised his head to look at the pine leaves pressed by the snow on his head, and after looking at it for a while, he lowered his head and said: "It is about the royal heirs, and it cannot be leaked out for the time being, I will first go to find out the prince's mouth, and then we will make plans." ”

Ning Muhua had found strong evidence, but avoided saying it, and it was precisely because of this that when he saw Yuheng say this, he said "um" at the moment.

……

The prince who greeted the guests at the door entered the door because of the instigation of King Jing, and now there is no one at the gate, and there is no one in the second gate, when someone told the princess that the eldest princess's carriage was about to arrive, Su smiled and asked the Tong family to go to the second gate with him to greet the eldest princess.

The crown princess showed such generosity in front of everyone, and Tong, as a new wife, would never go against the princess's will in front of everyone, so she stood up very politely and followed suit.

"My sister has just passed the house, if you are still familiar with everything in the house, just come and ask the palace, we are all a family, and we serve the prince together, so we should not be so polite......" The princess said very politely.

Mrs. Tong was one step behind her, following behind, although her head was half-hanging, but her eyes did not fall at all, the princess's hands were out of the pavilion, and she kept them in the fur sleeve, so she said these words without squinting and with a proud posture, even if she said it very politely, Mrs. Tong still felt that the princess was like saying this to her subordinates.

Tong lowered his eyes and responded: "Yes." ”

She was full of sadness and couldn't tell that on the day she learned that she was pointed out by the emperor to the crown prince as a side concubine, she hung the white silk on the beam, and was rescued by the maid, her mother hugged her and cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken.

"My son, you can't just leave, you're gone, your mother and I won't live anymore, and I won't be able to live......" Mrs. Tong Lin cried and threw down Mrs. Tong, who was still dizzy, and rushed over and grabbed the scissors and was about to poke her neck, "Jiaojiao...... It's my mother who is sorry for you, my mother didn't set a good family affair for you early...... Mother, this is not ...... for you."

Mrs. Tong howled like this, and she really scared a few maids in the house, and suddenly there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the room, which also successfully woke up Mrs. Tong, and she struggled to kneel on the ground to let her mother put down the scissors.

In the end, it was natural that the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, Mrs. Tong was instructed by Tong Xiang, knowing where the weakness of Mrs. Tong was, she cried and said, this is the emperor's finger of relatives, if you resist the decree, it is to despise the imperial power, and it is to punish the nine clans...... "Daughter, my good daughter, our mother and daughter are so clean and dead, but what about your father, your brother, your sister-in-law, and your younger brothers and sisters...... And the lives of the Tong clan......?

Mrs. Tong was carried into the Prince's East Palace with such a humiliating and unwilling mind, without a red hijab or a sedan chair...... The prince pressed on her on the first night of her house, the prince's body was strong, and his belly squeezed around her, and she felt that sexual intercourse between men and women was the most disgusting thing in the world......

Tong Shi was thinking about it, and the maid behind her reached out and gently pulled down her cloak. The eldest lady raised her head and suddenly saw King Mu standing under the green pine in front of her.

King Mu is looking up at the pine leaves above, the thick snow on the green pine and the white cloak on his body echo together, he wears a purple and gold crown, white clothes are better than snow, his eyebrows are picturesque, like a handsome man from the painting.

"King Mu, Ning Shizi......" The crown princess naturally saw the two people standing under the tree, chuckled, and saluted Yu Heng.

Yuheng and Ning Muhua all made a return gift.

Mrs. Tong hurriedly withdrew her gaze and stood behind the crown princess to salute, she had never seen King Mu before, wearing a white robe......

At this time, she didn't dare to look at the Seventh Prince again, but she was afraid that if she took another look, she couldn't help but roll out tears.

Maybe it's something in mind, since a month ago by the emperor to kiss, Mrs. Tong will always have the same dream as the last time she went to bed every day, at that time she was also kissed by the emperor, but the object of the kiss is the seventh prince, at the queen's birthday banquet, the seventh prince smiled gently at her, and that smile can make her intoxicated for the rest of her life.

"Both of them are distinguished guests in the house, don't be restrained here, the eldest princess has passed the house, the palace and Concubine Tong have to go to greet them, and the two of them are also at their own convenience. When the Tong family didn't dare to look, the crown princess had already finished talking to the two of them and walked forward.

Mrs. Tong mustered up the courage to bow her knees again, raised her head and glanced at the Seventh Prince quickly, only to see him looking to the left, looking at Ning Shizi on the side, not looking at herself at all.

Maybe he didn't fall into his eyes at all, the eldest lady's hands under the cloak were clasped together, and the nails on her hands were almost bursting her palms.

Although the conversation between Yu Heng and Ning Shi standing under the pine tree was not overheard, the two of them also knew that this matter should not be discussed here, so they entered the main hall along the swept snow road, and after entering the door, Ning Shizi and the Seven Princes walked towards two groups of people of different levels as if they met at the door by chance.

All the important ministers who came were in the court, and the literati would always come to discuss who had excellent article skills when they got together, and the military generals gathered to compare the arm strength such as throwing pots and archery, Ning Shizi and the Seven Princes happened to be a martial arts and a literate, even if the ordinary people in the court knew that the six ladies of Jifu had a good relationship with the second lady of Qin, they could not guess that the seventh prince had a great friendship with Ning Shizi.

……

Ji Yunliu and the second lady entered the backyard, and some of the little ladies were already sitting in the pavilion talking and laughing, and some were playing in the snow.

Lin Sanniang, who had previously spit out to everyone on the day of adding makeup to the second lady, pointed out the shocking secret that the eldest lady would point out to the prince, saw the two of them from a distance, immediately stood up from the stone bench, and waved her hand: "Second lady, sixth lady, here!"

With such a shout, the two instantly became the focus of the eyes of the little ladies, Qin Erniang put her hands in the fur glove tube, bumped Ji Liu slightly with her elbow, saw her turn her face, puffed up her left cheek and puffed out her mouth: "This person is really a bag in the capital, the matter of Mrs. Tong is true, I didn't expect the Tong family to be willing to carry their daughter into the East Palace." ”

Ji Yunliu snorted.

Qin Erniangzi said in a very low voice: "Senior aunt, don't you know, Lin Sanniang is the in-law of the Tong family, speaking of which, she still has to call Tong Lady a big cousin, looking at her sister as a concubine, she is so happy in her heart......"

The second lady seemed to think of one more thing as she spoke, "Aunt Shi, there is something, I guess you must be interested in knowing, that lady Tong...... It is said that I like King Mu as tightly as I like!" Seeing Ji Yunliu sweeping over at a glance, the second lady put on a strong posture and said, "This is Ning Shizi's sister-in-law, Ning Da Niang said it herself, Ning Da Niang said that the whole Tong Mansion still seems to think that Tong Da Niang will marry King Mu in the future, and she does not hide this little thought about Tong Da Niang...... Mrs. Tong once said that Mrs. Tong was with "

"Be careful, it's snowing in the morning, and the ground is slippery......" Ji Yunliu stretched out his hand from the white fur, put one hand on the waist of Qin Erniang, and stretched his neck to her ear, "This thing, really?"

"It has to be true. Qin Erniangzi said, "The emperor pointed out that the eldest lady of Tong was married as a side concubine, and the third lady of the Lin family knew about it early, and the previous appearance of the Tong family was determined to win the seventh princess, but I am afraid that the relationship behind it has been a lot?"

Ji Yunliu is exactly what she means, her own man is handsome and has good genes, it is not surprising that someone has a crush on that, and she is not worried about the Seven Princes meeting different thoughts or anything, but the whole family is clearly letting her daughter have a crush on him, and she also puts on a look of "It's okay, you like it, Lao Tzu helped you get married", that's not right!

The second lady looked at the third lady who ran out in front of her, stretched out her hand from the sleeve, shook Ji Yunliu's hand back, and smiled lightly: "In this way, Mrs. Tong made elegant poems on the queen's birthday last year, and let the emperor jokingly say "the first beauty in the capital"...... Mo Yo is also a means of Mrs. Tong. This man also took great pains for the sake of King Mu......"

The snow pavilion has arrived, Lin Sanniang shouted at the right time, and at this time she came out of the pavilion early, and the two of them closed their mouths and stopped talking.
