The breeze blew and blew off the cherry blossoms all over the ground, and the dark fragrance floated. In the face of such a dreamlike beauty, the crown princess had no intention of appreciating it, her face was black and almost smoking, she placed nine posts, namely the sixth princess, the seventh princess, the ninth princess, the county lord of Shuyang, the two daughters of Prince Yinglie, the county lord of Yining Yihuan, the granddaughter of King Wucheng, Xuanhe county lord Xiao Tang, the prince of Yijun, and the last one was given to the mother's family.

The crown princess wants to invite more royal relatives and relatives, and it is easy to do things with many people, but the royal family is thin, except for the elders, there are only so many people who can be invited. Except for the emperor's three brothers and sisters and an uncle, the rest of the Xiao family died, and this old uncle was the king of Yijun.

But in the end, there were very few people who came, only the six princesses and the three ladies of the Yijun Palace. The crown princess's face was elongated at that time, if it weren't for the princess's eldest sister-in-law Du Shi to warm up with a smiling face, the sixth princess would have thrown her hands and left. Although the sixth princess is a political opportunist, she shows favor in many ways, and no one can be offended, but she is also a golden branch and jade leaf, and she will not be able to stick to other people's cold butts with a hot face.

The crown princess restrained her expression under Du Shi's reminder, greeted the guests, and cut to the chase in a few words. The sixth princess talked about him left and right, but she didn't pick up the stubble, and secretly regretted it, she knew that everyone didn't come, and she didn't come, so she was targeted now. That Mu Lei moved his mind to the military quartermaster, and also led a fiasco, and now whoever is involved is waiting for the reputation of the street!

The crown princess was so angry that the sixth princess who didn't lose her hand hurt her liver, her face was gloomy, and the sixth princess's face was also not good-looking.

The crown princess drooped the corners of her mouth, her eyes were prickly, she didn't think of begging them for a hand at all, but she didn't like their attitude of being afraid to avoid them. only looked the three of them creepy, they didn't want to come, but the crown princess's post was not something they could refuse, so they were pushed out by the old princess.

Du Shi didn't look good, and said stubbornly, "This wind is blowing stronger and stronger, it's really not a good time to enjoy the flowers, let's make an appointment another day." ”

The three of them nodded busily.

The crown princess shook her handkerchief and said hatefully, "Let's go, let's go!" ”

Du's face turned pale, he was calm, and sent away several ladies of the Yijun Palace, although the Yijun Mansion did not participate in the government politics, the old county king received a righteous errand to implement the rule of inaction to the fullest. But the old county king is the highest ranking person in the Xiao family, and the emperor has always respected this old uncle, and it is useless to offend him.

Du Shi, who sent people back, saw that the crown princess's face became more and more gloomy, and complained when he saw her, "One or two, they still take me in their eyes." ”

Du Shi was exhausted and almost collapsed, "Niangniang knew yesterday, no matter how much anger there is, it should be gone, and bringing it to today is not a misunderstanding." "Since you can't cancel the banquet, then treat the guests well, and it is only right that the guests and hosts are happy, and there is no need to make people laugh.

The crown princess didn't understand what she meant, patted the case, and was angry, "How do I get rid of this tone, I'm going to become a laughing stock." ”

Du Shi said in his heart, you have made fewer jokes, and Du Shi doesn't want to come in his selfish heart, Mu Lei, this little uncle, simply makes her feel bad, there is no pity to die, I just hate him for dying undignified. But who called her a mother-in-law to press on top.

Xiao Mi, who rushed to hear the news, was in sync with Du Shi's weird mood at this time.

Du Shi looked up and saw that it was her, and his heart was relieved, don't look at this niece's age, but she is more reliable than her mother, her mother, the princess has been in office for a long time, and the score is getting bigger and bigger, but people are living more and more back.

Xiao Mi smiled apologetically at Du Shi and bowed his head, "Uncle Lao is in charge today." ”

Du Shi was too busy to do anything, and when he saw this, he asked for his resignation.

Xiao Mi wanted to send it, but was politely rejected by Du Shi.

Retreating left and right, Xiao Mi looked at the crown princess with a headache, this banquet was a farce from the beginning. "Someone on the front foot is not strict with the foreign tutor, and the mother is here to set up a banquet on the back foot, isn't Sima Zhao's heart known to passers-by."

The crown princess said vigorously, "So what, your little uncle has died, and these people still want to climb your foreign family, do I still have to be indifferent when I see my mother's family suffering?" Aren't they raised by their fathers and mothers, and they can't do it without brothers? ”

"But whose brother would poke out such a basket." Xiao Mi didn't have the face to say, this uncle was simply embarrassed, and he endured it and endured it, "Some mistakes can be pleaded, but some mistakes can't, the mistakes made by the little uncle are there, why doesn't my mother take the initiative to ask for guilt, maybe my grandfather can still ......"

The crown princess didn't listen to her words at all, and looked at Xiao Mi in disbelief, "What nonsense are you talking about?" The Mu family is convicted, what good is it for you, the foreign family is a criminal minister, how do you sisters behave. ”

Our surname is Xiao, as long as the Xiao family does not fall, who dares to point fingers at our sisters. Xiao Mi didn't dare to say this, for fear of driving the crown princess crazy.

"But what's the use of what my mother does, instead of begging others to make people laugh, it's better to leave it to my father, and it's always easier for my father to do things outside." Xiao Mi changed the subject.

"You think I didn't ask, your father just sighed and promised me to do his best, but what's the use." The crown princess came from sorrow, "Your uncle followed him on the expedition, and he promised me that I would find a chance to make your uncle get ahead, but as a result, your uncle's life is gone, and he is only thirty-one!" ”

Xiao Mi laughed angrily, "Is it because my father braves the disapproval of the world and desperately loses my grandfather's favor to protect my uncle, so that my mother is happy." The fourth uncle is ridiculous, and his mother shouldn't have let his father take him on the expedition, otherwise there would be no disaster today. ”

The crown princess stalked in her throat in one breath, and pointed at Xiao Mi with a shaking hand, obviously angry.

Xiao Mi added a grievance, "In your eyes, is our family more important or the Mu family more important?" King Duan was eyeing the tiger, and the prince poked out the basket again. Do you really think that the East Palace is as stable as a rock?

The crown princess's hands trembled even more, her chest rose and fell violently, and she raised her hand in anger and slap. After the fight, the crown princess regretted it. I wanted to go forward to see how my daughter was, but I couldn't pull my face.

Xiao Mi stood there with her face covered, tears rolling in her eyes, angry, annoyed and sad.

At this moment, the maid of the first palace came panting, "The second master of the Wucheng Palace's mansion is dead." ”

The crown princess was taken aback, "Why is it gone?" ”

This is a question that the emperor is also asking.

King Wu Cheng, who was sitting in the chair, looked defeated, "A bowl of abortion pills went down, and Wan died...... People didn't notice, and he hit the wall......"

The emperor didn't know how to comfort his brother, he had experienced the pain of losing his son several times, especially Prince Yinglie, it was a piercing pain. Xiao Zhi and Prince Yinglie cannot be compared, but he is the only son of King Wucheng. Halfway through, the emperor held back a sentence, "You mourn, you still have Ah Jing." "The only son left his father and young son to die for a shameless woman, King Wucheng was not in good health, and the emperor was really afraid that he would not be able to stand the blow.

King Wu Cheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, wasn't it for Xiao Jing. Xiao Zhi's death was the result of his connivance, and seeing Xiao Zhi's appearance was really murderous to Xiao Jing, if he was determined to avenge Wan's mother and son. His body is becoming more and more useless, after his death, Xiao Zhi wants to kill Xiao Jing, what should Xiao Jing do.

The lesser of two evils was taken care of, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhi's actions to be so fast. In a sense, it is a relief to be with him, and he doesn't have to do it himself.

These can't be said to the emperor, Xiao Zhi shouted that he and the Wan family have a life, and there are many people who know it, otherwise how could the Wan family survive to this day. is as disgusted as the eldest princess of Langya, but she can only endure it. Xiao Jing was not afraid of breaking the jade bottle, but he committed a taboo. King Wu Cheng doesn't blame his grandson, but he can prevent others from making a fuss about it.

After thinking about it, the emperor spoke, "In terms of regulations, it will be done according to the prince's courtesy, what do you think?" "This is great decency, the emperor doesn't like this nephew, normal people won't like it, it's all in the face of King Wucheng.

"He can't afford this honor, and he doesn't have to bring bad morals. The minister asked for a decent burial for him with a shy face. ”

Naturally, the emperor had no reason not to agree, "Your mind has been decided, so I will have someone send a message to the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long......"

The emperor swept over with a look, and the eunuch on the side supported King Wucheng, who was trembling and saluting.

The emperor couldn't bear to look at the haggard brother with gray temples, "Do you still need these vulgar rituals between you and my brothers?" He said another sentence of condolences and change, "You can take care of it in the palace, and I will send the imperial doctor to recuperate your body." ”

King Wu Cheng shook his head, "The minister wants to take Ah Jing back to Jiangnan in a hundred days, where it is suitable for our ancestors and grandchildren to recuperate." ”

If King Wucheng uses the reason on the side, the emperor will persuade him again, he is really afraid that this parting will be the eternal separation of the two brothers. But when Xiao Jing was mentioned, the emperor stopped, and there were many people in the capital, and there was no news that something had ruined Xiao Jing's future, and he was concerned, "Is Ah Jing better?" ”

"It's better than in the early years, but it still needs to be recuperated for a while." King Wu Cheng's mouth was bitter, it was already good, but since he fainted last time, Xiao Jing became more and more weird after waking up.

The emperor was pleased, "That's fine." Thinking about the two of them, the son is unreliable, and he can only count on his grandson, and he can't help but sigh. If you don't say anything to others, you can say it to your brother, "You and I are so old, if we can close our eyes and watch our grandson become a weapon, we will be blind." After this battle, the emperor had to admit that the crown prince was a dou who couldn't be helped. Then he was so worried that he couldn't sleep, if he crossed the crown prince to pass on Xiao Qi, where would this put the prince, it would not be good to make the gap between father and son, the father was the son, and Xiao Qi was not allowed to be ...... But according to the appearance of the crown prince, he can be coaxed away in just a few words, and the emperor really doesn't dare to think that he can do anything ridiculous when he succeeds to the throne.

King Wucheng raised his eyebrows, he was not in the capital, but he was not far from the court, he also had the identity of the emperor in private, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, fed half of the Great Zhou, and controlled seventy percent of the salt in the world, collusion between officials and businessmen is the norm, how many officials have lost their integrity in Jiangnan, King Wucheng is standing there, or light or dark can make those people more restrained.

King Wucheng understood the emperor's words, and he didn't expect the prince anymore, but he also understood that the emperor couldn't give up the prince, and he couldn't persuade the emperor to be like him, let his son die to make way for his grandson, the situation of the two was different! Then he said, "The prince is honest and pure, but he was deceived by the villain." "The prince is really not a bad person, leave him a group of loyal ministers and good generals, and the Great Zhou may not be chaotic, but there is a danger of losing power.

The emperor chewed on the word villain, and his expression changed slightly.

The matter of the Mu family was decided in a few days, and Mu Lei's two brothers-in-law were dismissed, and they were not allowed to be hired within the third generation of the Mu family's long house, which cut them off from relying on the crown princess to rise again. Such a punishment is already to give the prince face. But the prince's wife was cut into a blank slate, and the brother-in-law was convicted, which is not a glorious thing. Just when the rumors that the prince could not have a sacred heart grew.

The emperor promoted the eastern commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to the commander-in-chief in the Jinluan Palace, and the original commander-in-chief died of illness. This position is not of high grade, but it is responsible for the security of the capital, the fire ban and the dredging of the canal streets, etc., and the characters who are not Jane in the emperor's heart are not competent.

The newly baked commander-in-chief made Chu Yuan marry the cousin of the crown princess. The two sons of the Mu family did nothing after the death of their fathers, but the daughters married quite well, the princess does not need to mention, Chu Mu's husband is an earl, he is a hard worker, and he is one of the few people who have been knighted by his military exploits in the past ten years, and now he has taken over the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division at the age of no doubt, and the future is immeasurable.

As soon as this decree came out, the rumors disappeared.

Duanwang's mansion resounded with the sound of broken cups.

King Duan stood in place with a horsewhip and panted, like an old bellows, staring at the mess all over the place, his face was hideous, "That stupid pig, just because he was born from the original queen, his father tolerated him everywhere, knowing that he was stupid and dull, and he wanted to pass on the country to him." I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced! If the eldest brother is alive, I have nothing to say, but why is he, why! King Duan waved violently with resentment, hunting sounded, and the broken porcelain pieces he brought flew up, and the maid who was trembling on her knees couldn't help but scream, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth, but it was too late. The maid looked up in horror, and looked at the oncoming whip in horror, and her mind went blank.

On the morning of the second day, Princess Duan was gently coaxing her two-year-old son Xiao Huan to drink fish porridge, and the eldest girl Ziyuan came in with a panicked face and whispered in Princess Duan's ear.

Princess Duan's body stiffened, and she slowly handed her the bowl, and then held her son who was playing with his fingers in his arms, tightly. Everyone praised King Duan as gentle as jade and a humble gentleman, but her first child was kicked by King Duan, just because she tactfully persuaded King Duan to be content and happy. In the past few years, King Duan's temper has become more and more tyrannical, and the concubines come and go, Princess Duan touched the abdomen that still has no pain, she is really afraid that one day their mother and son will also die in his hands.
