Chapter 56: I Am Pity
Su Wanqing didn't know why, so he only focused on painting the qin, but he was also confused about painting the qin, and he didn't know where the eldest princess's anger came from. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Auntie, what's wrong? Who is Qin Li'er? How could it be..."
"I always thought she was dead, but I didn't expect her to be alive and safely become the queen mother of Great Xia!" The eldest princess narrowed her eyes, and the killing intent was revealed, which was terrifying.
"The Queen Mother?" Su Wanqing shouted in surprise, he didn't expect that there was a grudge between his aunt and the queen mother.
The eldest princess recalled the face of Kehou Chu Xiuze, and her eyes suddenly widened, "I remember you said that Qin Lian'er attaches great importance to Xiuze?" ”
Su Wanqing nodded, but saw a desolate smile on the eldest princess's lips, and sighed to herself, "So that's the case, fourth brother!" You've been hiding it from me! ”
Intermittently, the eldest princess finally told Su Wanqing what happened. The Empress Dowager Zhou, who is now the mother of the Great Xia country, is not the daughter of the Zhou family, she was brought back by the emperor from the people, and this point has long been investigated. But Su Wanqing never expected that the queen mother's original name was Qin Li'er, who was just a courtesan in Jinling Fengyue Field, and she also had a relationship with the king of Annan County.
"Your fourth uncle was only weak and old, but he just fell in love with this Qin Lian'er, saying that there is a man and a woman, and he insists on marrying her back to the palace as a concubine." The eldest princess talked about the past, her expression was pale and her heart ached, "If Qin Li'er is honest and responsible, it is not impossible for your mother to issue a decree to promote her, but she is simply a prodigal, where is she really willing to follow your fourth uncle?" ”
"So the father and the queen mother decided to send Qin Li'er away?"
The eldest princess gritted her teeth and said, "Originally, I wanted to kill her openly, but Brother Tong forced her to die, and in desperation, I could only openly say that I would send her to Daxia and secretly send someone to kill this vixen." ”
"But she survived." Su Wanqing frowned, there were still thousands of doubts in his heart that could not be solved.
"Don't even think about it, my stupid fourth brother bought the killer on a mission." The eldest princess sighed, and then slapped Xiao Ji indignantly, "After many years, I recognized this vixen at a glance, she scourged my younger brother to be depressed all his life, how can I let her be the queen mother of Great Xia so peacefully?!" ”
Su Wanqing recalled that the king of Annan County, she only had an outline left in her memory of him, just a man who was very tall but never smiled. When he was a child, the palace held banquets, he rarely participated, and if he had to come, he would leave silently after three rounds of drinking. The shadow of that man will always be so lonely and so desolate.
"Auntie, it doesn't make sense. You suspect that Brother Xiu Ze was born to Qin Li'er, but the year Brother Xiu Ze was born, she was already a lady in the harem of Great Xia, how could it be..."
The eldest princess sneered, "Xiu Ze was born in the seventeenth year of Longhua, but I remember that Great Xia and my Southern Chu had a border confrontation the year before, and the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty drove the expedition in person. At that time, Brother Tong was not in Jinling, and accompanied the princess to Yangzhou to travel the landscape. At that time, I was still strange that his elm head was finally enlightened, and he knew that he felt sorry for the princess, but he didn't expect that he had a plan! ”
In this way, everything basically makes sense. Qin Li'er, who was Mrs. Yipin at the time, may have accompanied Emperor Xia on the expedition, but the king of Annan County just found an excuse to leave Jinling. Whether the two of them met again by chance, or whether they had discussed it a long time ago, I'm afraid there is no way to know!
"But there are still a lot of questions, the Queen Mother... Qin Li'er will definitely show her feet when she is pregnant with a child, even if there is no problem, the child will naturally become a prince when she is born, and it will be impossible for Brother Ze to appear in Jinling! ”
The eldest princess said, "This is also what I can't figure out, Qing'er, you have to find out as soon as possible." Come to think of it, the only people who knew what happened were the palace people who followed the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty back then! ”

Finding someone close to you is not an easy task. The maids of the Great Xia court had to be replaced every five years, and most of the old concubines left behind were assigned to serve the concubines, which was extremely rare.
Su Wanqing thought about it, but she could only secretly look for the eunuchs who served in the old years, but the results of the search couldn't help but surprise her - the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty had a killing ring in the autumn of the sixteenth year of Longhua, and successively executed nearly ten palace people who served closely, and many of them were taken out of their tongues and could no longer speak.
"The meaning of this is self-evident, the emperor wanted to hide something." Su Wanqing concluded, she was stunned, and fiddled with the ashes in the gilded filigree furnace in her hand, "Go and find out how the Queen Mother spent that year." ”
"Little master, the slave has checked. In the sixteenth year of Longhua, Emperor Xia personally marched, accompanied by Mrs. Zhou. After returning to Beijing from the expedition, the emperor immediately made a decree, and Mrs. Yu was injured and needed to recuperate, so she recuperated in the imperial village in Chengde Mansion for a year and a half. ”
"If it wasn't for some unsightly situation, why should it be sent so far away from Chengde Mansion? Yiqing Garden or Changchun Garden are both places to cultivate body and mind, and the first emperor of Daxia is really willing to do it. Su Wan snorted coldly.
Huaqin opened her mouth, as if she still had something to report, but there were bursts of high-five outside the courtyard, followed by a sharp shout from the eunuch Si Li, "Jia Shunyi takes over!" ”
In a hurry, Su Wanqing didn't have time to make up, so he had to lazily welcome the emperor in. Yu Wenche didn't care at all, she always felt that she was wearing only a moon-white cover, and she looked more and more like a fairy in the nine heavens.
"Today is the fifth day of the first month, but on the day of welcoming the God of Wealth, the harem also inherits the folk tradition, and also makes a ceremony. It's just that the concubines don't know much about that, and it's not lively, so they didn't go. ”
The emperor held the porcelain snuff box in his right hand, sniffed it closely, sneezed twice happily, and blew his nose again before feeling comfortable. He frowned and said, "What kind of God of Wealth does the harem ask for, it's ridiculous." It's just right if you don't go, it's cold outside, so you won't have to freeze. ”
Su Wanqing asked the palace maid to fetch hot water, and wiped his nose for him, only to see that his nose was red due to the wind and cold, and she said, "The emperor has always bowed to Kang'an, and this Chinese New Year is so sick." Look, in two days, the Taihe Palace will be in the court, but I am afraid that I will be laughed at by the adults outside. ”
The emperor suddenly became decadent, and said like a child, "Whoever dares to laugh at me, I will push him out and behead him!" ”
"Isn't that a faint king?"
The emperor is a person who wants to save face and suffer crimes, and he was a little embarrassed to see her going around on this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Good fellow, this little belly is good, it seems that he has not treated my son badly!" ”
Su Wan rolled her eyes, she had a poor appetite when she was first pregnant, and now she is worried about eating as much as a "cow", and now she has gained a lot of weight in just over two months.
"Don't make trouble, your majesty, massage your back! The concubine has something to ask you, and she said that you should not be angry. ”
The emperor felt very comfortable, and snorted, "Let's talk, little Qingzi." ”
"The Dafu father-in-law I met in the Qianqing Palace last time, but the emperor's childhood playmate?"
