Gonggong An was stunned, and finally gritted his teeth, and said: "Concubine Zhen likes the little lord of the prince's family very much, it is better to let the princess lead the child to see her tomorrow, it is said that their mother and daughter have not entered the palace for several days." ”

"Yes, when my sons were young, they were all eccentric, and the palace almost overturned them," Emperor Hongsheng sighed: "I don't know when they are gone!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest." Gonggong An reminded.

"It's time to rest," Emperor Hongsheng actually smiled, and continued: "I don't know how Yuansheng is in southern Sichuan now, among these children, Yuansheng is an honest one, and I really miss him now." ”

Restraining the panic in his heart, Father-in-law An smiled and said: "Didn't the third master come to the letter, saying that he was very good there, and now there is a third master in southern Sichuan, but it is much more stable, by the way, the golden cicada and jade wood in Xiuluan and the palace are all tributed by southern Sichuan, and it will be there in a few months. ”

"Now it seems that this son is obedient." Emperor Hongsheng sighed and walked out of the imperial study with his hands behind his back.

The next day, Feng Yuer did not follow the arrangement of Father-in-law An, at the invitation of "Jingyang Palace", to visit Concubine Zhen, it turned out that the little county lord suddenly fell ill.

Keqing had a fever the first night, she couldn't stop crying, and her little face was even more red, which made Tu Yuanhui and Feng Yuer feel so distressed that they couldn't do it, and they just wanted to give birth to this disease for their children.

Doctor Zhao from the Tai Hospital got the letter from the East Palace, and soon rushed over, touched the child's head, hands and feet, and asked Tu Yuanhui: "Prince, what symptoms did the little county lord have before?" ”

Tu Yuanhui glanced at Feng Yu'er, who was putting a cold handkerchief on the child's head, and her eyes were a little red and swollen, and said: "It's good, I heard the princess say that she was still running around in the yard during the day, and when it was almost dark, she was a little mentally weak, and her head and body were hot after a while." ”

"Back to the crown prince and princess, this is the lack of middle qi, the spleen and stomach are weak, as long as you replenish the middle qi," Zhao Yizheng finished speaking, then went to the side to prescribe a prescription, and instructed Aunt He: "Auntie, take some soybeans, boil water to feed the child, add a little sugar, this is a folk remedy, but it can also be effective." ”

Aunt He took the prescription and went down immediately.

Doctor Zhao rolled up his sleeves at this time and said, "Crown Princess, the lower official will do some massage for the county lord, or it will be better soon." ”

At this time, Tu Yuanhui stepped forward and helped Feng Yu'er aside, "Lao Zhao is the holy hand of the national doctor, and Keqing's illness will be cured." ”

When the husband and wife got out of the way, Zhao Yizheng picked up Keqing's small hand, pressed her thumb and fingertips in a circle to the right, and after a while, pushed back and forth from the root of Keqing's index finger to the fingertips, and then the other fingers did the same, and finally pushed many times from the wrist to the elbow socket.

The husband and wife both looked carefully, and after a while, Doctor Zhao stopped and said: "The prince, the mother, you two don't have to panic, the child's fever is a common disease, as long as the right medicine is prescribed, it will get better soon. ”

Although Doctor Zhao said that it was okay, only the heart of a parent, watching the child suffer, it was inevitable to feel anxious, and the husband and wife were guarding Keqing together, and even the doctor and the girl were sent outside.

In the dead of night, Tu Yuanhui and Feng Yu'er both sat on the edge of Keqing's bed, neither of them dared to sleep, but looked at the child's face without blinking, for fear that something was wrong.

"Yu'er, this time I really annoyed my father completely."

Tu Yuanhui didn't want Tu Yuanye to always attack him, he wanted to give him a place where he could cause pain, and his henchman brother Tu Yuancheng could only achieve miraculous results if he broke it.

"You may not be able to be the prince anymore, will you be disappointed?" Tu Yuanhui muttered.

Feng Yu'er shook her head and sighed: "Disappointed," then took off the cool handkerchief on Keqing's head, got up and went to the basin rack to change it into a new one, and said with a smile while gently covering it on Keqing's little head: "Although it is a pity that you can't be the queen and can't be a harem, but on the other hand, if you become a waste prince, you naturally can't afford to raise three thousand beauties, and whether you like it or not in the future, you can only guard me, and you feel that you have been blessed by misfortune!" ”

"Really?" Tu Yuanhui felt that Feng Yu'er's words were very fake, and couldn't help but glance at her.

Feng Yu'er blinked, "If it is your destiny to be the emperor, naturally you can't disobey it, but if it's fate, this throne is unattainable, so you don't have to force it too much, just let it be!" As for me, I don't spare anything, the only thing I want to do, as long as you live well, you will live up to me. ”

"You can think about it," Tu Yuanhui smiled, "Do you think that if I don't want to be this prince, I can be inappropriate?" Those guys who held me up had to hang themselves in anger! Also, those ...... My opponent, you think you're going to let me go? ”

Tu Yuanye, who had been staring at him like a gutter rat; seems to be like a brother to him, but he doesn't know what the hell he has in his heart; There is also the more and more moody Emperor Hongsheng.

As soon as Tu Yuancheng fell, Tu Yuanye could be regarded as breaking an arm, how could he be willing to suffer this loss, this time he must be thinking about a way to fight back, Lin Wenye They are right, Tu Yuanye is defenseless this time, and he is just one move away, and after that, he will be vigilant, it is not easy to kill him.

As for Tu Yuansheng, he has always fought with him in his memory, but this time he stopped fighting him, and so far, he has not seen what his position is.

A soft thing lay on Tu Yuanhui's body, and then Ke Qing's "giggle" laughter, and when he opened his eyes, Tu Yuanhui found that he didn't know when he was lying on the bed, and Ke Qing was stretching out his little hand, wanting to twist his ears, Feng Yu'er, who looked haggard but relaxed, was watching the battle with a smile on the side.

"Bold!" Tu Yuanhui hugged Keqing and sat up, frowning, "This son knows how to toss your father, how did you get like that yesterday?" Don't get sick in the future! ”

"Kerr is well!" Ke Qing was like a little monkey and refused to go down, and said coquettishly: "I want to go out to play!" Daddy's! ”

Aunt He brought a bowl of medicine at this time and coaxed: "Good girl, drink the medicine, the illness can be cured, and when the illness is cured, you can go out to play at that time." ”

Keqing is really a good person, although she is unhappy in her heart, she still obediently squirts her little face and takes the medicine dry.

Feng Yu'er asked Xingyue to take the pear, tore a small piece and stuffed it into Keqing's mouth, kissed her cheek, and said: "Ke'er is the most sensible and obedient, and when she is cured, her mother will take her outside to play." ”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tu Yuanhui's heart warmed, everything is fine now, Feng Yuer is still there, Keqing is still there, happiness is still there, the only thing Tu Yuanhui has to do is to protect his wife and daughter and not let them be hurt at all.

After two days of restlessness, Emperor Hongsheng finally waited for a good letter, and today the crown princess entered the palace with the little princess, and this son was talking to Concubine Zhen in Jingyang Palace.

It turned out that she couldn't stand Keqing's obedient behavior, so Feng Yuer had to take her to the palace to visit the door, and this first stop was naturally Concubine Zhen's Jingyang Palace.

At this time, the pomegranate trees in Jingyang Palace have blossomed and borne fruit, and the small pomegranates are really rare, but Keqing looks interesting, and she refuses to stay in the house obediently to listen to the adults, Feng Yuer is not difficult for her, so she asked Xingyue and the nurse to take Keqing to play outside, and she left the house to chat with Zhen Guifei about the shortcomings of the family.

Concubine Zhen Guifei is very interested, just because Tu Yuansheng has repeatedly made military exploits in southern Sichuan, the emperor has recently rewarded him repeatedly, and now his rank has been promoted by one level, among the brothers, he is the only one who has been awarded the title of prince who is not demoted, and this is second only to the crown prince of Tu Yuanhui.

Feng Yu'er followed behind and praised the third master, making Zhen Guifei very happy, and took the specialties and medicinal materials sent by Tu Yuansheng from southern Sichuan, and enthusiastically gave some to Feng Yu'er.

"I heard Yuan Sheng say in the letter, there is a place called Baiyu Country in southern Sichuan, which is rich in golden cicada and jade wood, and this time Xiuluan and the palace are the wood that came in from there," Zhen Guifei smiled, "The palace has thought about it, go back and ask the emperor for a decree, if it is not overdue, let Yuan Sheng give me a coffin of golden cicada and jade wood, and when the palace is old, I can enjoy it." ”

"Hundred Jade Country?" Feng Yu'er's heart moved, her grandmother's country.

"You are young, naturally you haven't heard of it, it's the age of this palace, and you haven't caught up with that time," Concubine Zhen didn't know Feng Yu'er's origin, because she had never said it on the surface, the last time the Bai family raised his wife, the insiders knew that it was not simple for the Bai family, and people outside thought that it was the Feng family that Rongguo Mansion wanted to become the prince of the Yue family.

Zhen Guifei said: "The Hundred Jade Country is a legendary place, I heard that at the beginning of Emperor Wen's dynasty, this Hundred Jade Country was terrible, it once occupied most of southern Sichuan, and wanted to fight in our Central Plains, but later it was leveled by your ancestor and grandfather." ”

"That was a long time ago,"

"There seems to be a legend that after the Baiyu King who invaded the Central Plains was defeated and died, his head was presented to Emperor Wen?" Feng Yu'er inquired curiously.

"Ouch," Concubine Zhen Guifei was a weak woman, and when she heard these beatings and killings, she couldn't help but tremble, "Don't mention this, I'm really panicked!" ”

At this time, Mama Zhao next to her interjected, "Speaking of which, there are still some unknown old things in this Hundred Jade Country." ”

Concubine Zhen glanced at her, "Since it is unknown, how did you hear it, I think it is some unfounded wild history outside." ”

"Let's take it as a wild history, and now the old slave will say that he will relieve the boredom of the two mothers?" Mama Zhao said with a smile.

"Say!" Concubine Zhen nodded.

"This must have been many years ago, when the old slave was still young, I heard the story outside about the rebellion of the Hundred Jade Kingdom, I didn't remember anything else, but there was a secret story of the palace, which was really interesting."

Concubine Zhen Guifei pointed at Mama Zhao and smiled, "You old thing, you still have these in your stomach, and you never tell this palace." ”

"Isn't this today's princess came to mention Baiyu Kingdom, the old slave remembered, it is said that when the queen mother of Baiyu Country was young, she was a great beauty who captivated the country and the city, and the queen mother who was still Concubine Li was deeply favored by the old king, and she became pregnant soon after entering the palace, but she was hateful, and at the same time as her, there was another concubine who was pregnant with Liujia, and she was also a favored one."

As the concubine of the harem, Concubine Zhen immediately felt the same way, remembering that she had many such opponents back then, so she naturally sighed.

"At that time, the queen of the old king was long gone, and there were no children and no daughters under his knees, and it was the time to worry about the heirs, but he didn't think that the two concubines would have them at the same time, and the old king was very happy, so he let go, and whoever got a son first between the two of them would be the queen."

Feng Yu'er asked, "Obviously, Concubine Li won, did she let people assassinate the child over there?" ”

Mama Zhao shook her head, "Concubine Li has a twin, and she has a dragon and phoenix fetus, and although that concubine also has a son, it is only half a day late, so naturally Concubine Li won." ”

"What's the secret?" Feng Yu'er asked puzzled.

"Later, after the destruction of the Baiyu Kingdom, there were people in the old palace who spread that Concubine Li gave birth to two daughters, but she had already made preparations, and brought a baby boy from outside to replace one of her daughters, and Li Dai Taostiff became a dragon and phoenix fetus."

Concubine Zhen asked in surprise, "Could it be that the baby boy is the Baiyu King who later attacked the Central Plains?" ”

"But no," Mama Zhao said with a smile: "Concubine Li has exhausted her calculations, and after being the queen mother for less than a year, she became a dead country because of the wild seed that came from nowhere, and she was forced to commit suicide in the palace, and the two princesses born to her have no whereabouts since then." ”

"It's so desolate!" Concubine Zhen sighed, "It can be seen that this Concubine Li is greedy, if she keeps her duty and is her concubine in the palace, she can at least have a good death, maybe the Baiyu Kingdom is still there!" ”

"How did you talk about the Hundred Jade Country?" At this time, the voice of Emperor Hongsheng came in, and then, after a while, Emperor Hongsheng stood in front of everyone and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your women's family would actually read history." ”

Concubine Zhen Guifei hurriedly took Feng Yuer and others to come forward to say goodbye.

Seeing Feng Yu'er kneeling on the ground, although he couldn't see his face clearly, Emperor Hongsheng felt that his mood was suddenly a lot more relaxed, and he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Get up, I didn't expect the princess to enter the palace today, that's right, my own relatives should move around more." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Feng Yu'er hung her head slightly and replied respectfully.

After everyone sat down, Emperor Hongsheng said: "I just mentioned the Hundred Jade Kingdom, and you can see that you are very good." ”

"I want to make the emperor laugh, how dare we women talk about the ancients, but listening to Mama Zhao chatting about the gossip on the streets and alleys is just for fun." Concubine Zhen personally served the tea.

"The ladies in the palace should have more knowledge than ordinary women outside, I just heard two sentences, and you are very curious about the affairs of the palace," Emperor Hongsheng thought about it for a while, and said to Concubine Zhen: "There are a lot of such wild history books in the library of the imperial study, if you like it, I will let someone send some over." ”

"Then thank the emperor!" Concubine Zhen Guifei got up overjoyed and thanked her, and for the first time felt that Emperor Hongsheng was really considerate.

"The crown princess also wants to see it?" Emperor Hongsheng asked Feng Yu'er seemingly casually, and said: "When I was young, if I was tired of studying, I would be able to see that these things should be relieved. ”

"Emperor Xie!" Feng Yu'er got up and replied.

Emperor Hongsheng nodded with satisfaction, "I just saw Keqing, you have raised the child very well, but you are a virtuous person." ”

Feng Yu'er got up again and said: "The daughter-in-law doesn't dare to be beautiful, the prince loves the child more than me, and the discipline is even more hands-on. ”

"This mother, don't you still eat your daughter's vinegar?" Zhen Guifei quipped on the side.

"Hey, once this child can speak, he will naturally have a heart and an eye, and he knows who is the best for her, and who is closest to her." Feng Yuer pretended to be helpless.

Originally, when she saw Emperor Hongsheng coming, Feng Yuer thought about taking the opportunity to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, Emperor Hongsheng talked about Xing Zhengnong, and talked to Concubine Zhen about Tu Yuansheng's childhood, and she had to pull Feng Yuer without saying a word, and she didn't care about looking out of the hall, obviously absent-minded.

"Yuan Sheng has been dancing with guns and sticks since he was a child, and he really looked old at the age of three, and now he has really become a famous general in this dynasty." Emperor Hongsheng sighed.

Concubine Zhen suddenly remembered the past, "When Yuan Sheng was still in his arms and didn't understand anything, once the concubine took him to the imperial garden, and saw that the emperor was teaching the prince who had just been able to walk at that time to practice swords, and the concubine remembered that Yuan Sheng was so happy that he really clapped, I am afraid that he didn't have the idea of practicing martial arts at that time." ”

Emperor Hongsheng paused for a moment and replied, "When he comes back, I will compare my swordsmanship with this kid." ”

Feng Yu'er had already noticed that whenever Concubine Zhen Guifei pointed the topic to Tu Yuanhui, Emperor Hongsheng always consciously avoided it, and sighed in his heart, this emperor was really ruthless, and he didn't know what Tu Yuanhui did wrong, so he refused to mention him as a father.

When they returned to the East Palace, they looked at Tu Yuanhui who came out of the hall to greet them, and felt that Tu Yuanhui had been sad these days, but the more he looked at it, the more pitiful he became.

Tu Yuanhui took Ke Qing at this time, and walked around the yard several times, making Ke Qing "giggle" and laugh, and shouted: "Dad, turn around again, don't stop!" ”

was still sharp-eyed, and finally saw Feng Yu'er's strange appearance, and hurriedly hugged her in his arms, and coaxed with a smile: "Aren't you jealous, why don't I hug you and turn around a few times?" ”

Feng Yu'er patted Tu Yuanhui and said, "What nonsense! ”

"You woman has a small belly and chicken intestines, seeing that I feel sorry for the girl, I feel out of favor, and I am about to cry at this time, I am right!" Tu Yuanhui teased.

"I don't care if you feel sorry for me," Feng Yu'er suddenly whispered: "I feel sorry for Tu Yuanhui, even if no one in the world loves you, I also love you!" ”

These words made Tu Yuanhui stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "It's obvious that he has been spoiled, and he really calls Gu Daming, but ......" Tu Yuanhui didn't care that there was anyone next to him, and kissed Feng Yu'er on the forehead, "Call this name more in the future, I like it tightly!" ”

Soon the days passed peacefully for three years, and the East Palace was peaceful and tranquil, but out of the East Palace, Tu Yuanhui's situation became more and more difficult from the original Manchu Dynasty.

In the court, within a few days, someone will go up to the book to participate in the prince, or say that he is arrogant, or extravagant and wasteful, or for this or that reason, but often in the end, it is gone, and there is no follow-up.

It's just that whenever there are officials to participate, Tu Yuanhui will have to be reprimanded by Emperor Hongsheng in public, so that everyone has a score in their hearts, and Tu Yuanhui's road to the prince is about to end.

And those in the court who stepped on the high and low, rarely had to guess in private, how long the prince of Tu Yuanhui could be the prince, and which prince would be in the pocket of this prince.

Now in this capital, the most sought-after, or most people's most suitable candidate for the prince, is the fourth prince Tu Yuanye, as for the other princes, everyone believes that the possibility is far lower than this fourth master, who has a good name and is obviously more and more valued by Emperor Hongsheng.

On the other hand, Tu Yuanhui is completely motionless, a posture of letting you wind in the southeast and northwest, I am immovable, I am not happy or angry about everything in the outside world, I obediently go to the court every day, let the emperor scold, and the ministers are also polite, that is, to those who deliberately seek trouble with him, and do not seem to be at ease, and return to the East Palace after the court, living in a simple place, as if only willing to wait to be abolished.

But the strange thing is that Emperor Hongsheng scolded and scolded, but there was no indication of abolishing the reserve, as if he felt that hanging the Yuan Emblem there was more in line with his Hongsheng Emperor's mind, so after three years, Emperor Hongsheng never opened his mouth to mention the abolition of the prince, and the preferential treatment that should be given to the East Palace was not lacking at all, and it was even more generous than before.

On this day, Jia Min, who brought her daughter to Beijing, asked to see the crown princess.

Feng Yu'er agreed.

For the little cousin Daiyu who suddenly appeared and was still wrapped in diapers, Keqing showed great curiosity, taking advantage of the adults talking on the side, touching her little hands for a while, kissing her face for a while, and even preparing to take her favorite fruit these days, asking the three-month-old Daiyu to taste it, which scared Daiyu's nurse so much that she almost jumped up, but Keqing was noble, but no one dared to reprimand.

Instead, Feng Yu'er walked up and carried Keqing over, and said to Jia Min, who was red-eyed, "Auntie, this kid is very skinny, don't mind." ”

"Mother's words are not right, Aunt Daiyu came to our house as a guest, and she should be entertained, this fruit was specially brought to me by Uncle Sanhuang from southern Sichuan, you are not allowed to be reluctant!" Keqing was unconvinced.

"Good boy," Jia Min wiped her tears and pulled Keqing into her arms, "She's still a little bit, but she doesn't want to eat these, and in a few years, you aunts and nephews will be able to talk and joke together!" ”

"Your grandfather is probably about to be there," Jia Min said after seeing the child leave. This time she came over to receive a letter from Mrs. Guo, Grandpa Guo is afraid that he will not be alive in a few days, after all, it is his father, how can Jia Min not be sad in his heart, "His old man has worked hard all his life, and it is actually in the end." ”

"The lifespan of a person is determined by heaven," Feng Yuer was calm and quiet.

Jia Min sighed in his heart, it seems that there is no way to repair it, otherwise when the time comes, the crown princess will not have such an attitude.

It's just that other people's affairs can't be forced.
