Chapter 40: Forty Doves of Wine
"Shut up!"
Empress Dowager Wen looked at the crown princess like this, and it was difficult to suppress her anger.
To tell the truth, the crown princess has entered the palace over the years, although she doesn't like the crown princess from the Chen family, but in the friendship between the Wen and Chen families, especially for the sake of the Chen family is her mother's mother, she can be regarded as taking care of this princess.
At the beginning of Chen's entry into the palace, she did not know how to act in a mess, and she made a mess of the East Palace, she asked the queen to cover it and personally teach the palace people around her; has been in the palace for many years, and has never given birth to an heir to the prince, and the emperor can't help but complain, or she cares about her feelings and lets her be the crown princess safely; Now, the eldest grandson of the emperor is isolated and helpless, and she raises them personally, just hoping to give their mother and son more care.
Who would have expected that the crown princess would make such a move, it was simply ...... It's just that I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do.
kept saying and asking to return the child to her, in the final analysis, it was to reject her from the bottom of his heart and guard against her.
The eldest princess of Jinyang stood aside and watched coldly, there seemed to be irony in her eyes, she took the child out of Fuyuan's arms and handed it directly to the queen mother, and only sneered in her mouth: "The princess behaves like this, outsiders will look at it, and those who know will sympathize with the queen mother's painstaking efforts, I don't know, only when we want to compete for the child with the princess's own mother!" ”
What the eldest princess of Jinyang said in her mouth was still sarcastic, but looking at the eyes of the Empress Dowager Wen, she was not mocking this, when the eldest princess of Jinyang wanted to send Fu Hui to sit on the throne of the crown princess, in fact, the biggest resistance was not the secular concept, inside and outside the court, but the grandmother who claimed to love Fu Hui the most.
Empress Dowager Wen thinks that she cares about the overall situation, and she also thinks she has affection, but she never wants to think about who is closest to her. Now that she has protected such a wolf-hearted thing, the eldest princess of Jinyang only felt ridicule in her heart, and there was only a sneer on her face.
Empress Dowager Wen originally had anger on her face, and when she heard the words of the eldest princess of Jinyang, she added fuel to the fire, she hugged the emperor's eldest grandson, but because of her blood and family, because of the prince's pity for the emperor's eldest grandson, she was also finished by her mother at this time.
She bent down directly, put the eldest grandson of the emperor into the hands of the crown princess, and said in a cold tone: "You are so self-conscious." ”
After saying this, Empress Dowager Wen turned around and stopped looking at the crown princess.
When the crown princess's expression had not yet turned from the warmth stuffed into her arms to ecstasy, when she heard the words of the Empress Dowager Wen, a bad premonition rose in her heart.
Her complexion changed, and she didn't care to look at the eldest grandson in her arms, so she looked at the Empress Dowager Wen in a panic, and also looked at the eldest princess of Jinyang and Furui.
Empress Dowager Wen's expression couldn't be seen, Fu Yuan only glanced at her, and then lowered her head, only the eldest princess of Jinyang, her eyes were full of ridicule, as if she was looking at a fool.
Of course, the eldest princess of Jinyang did regard the crown princess as a fool. If the crown prince is alive, he has a noble status, and even everyone wants to get rid of it, but now that the prince is gone, and the emperor is not in good health, the new prince, and even the new emperor, are about to come out, and in the case that the emperor has a clear will, the existence of the emperor's eldest grandson has become particularly embarrassing.
Others will only avoid the hot potato of the emperor's eldest grandson, even the queen, I am afraid that they will not dare to touch it more because of avoiding suspicion. At this time, only the Empress Dowager Wen dared to touch and touch, but the crown princess actually pushed the Empress Dowager away, isn't she a fool?
Although Empress Dowager Wen looked at Cihe, the eldest princess of Jinyang knew her mother best, and when her father was still there, she might still be a little restrained, but now that her father is gone, she is the most willful. Like the crown princess, she already had a bad heart, and even with it, she had no good impression of the emperor's eldest grandson, and it was impossible for Empress Dowager Wen to care about the emperor's eldest grandson anymore.
Since she was a child, the crown princess has not been smart, but I don't know if she is lucky or bad, as the only school-age concubine of the Chen family who has a close relationship with the Wen family, she was elected to the palace as the crown princess. But because she is not smart and has a strong personality, she is not liked in the palace, and even the prince only copes with her. It's not that she doesn't want to learn, it's just that she always can't figure out the prince's temperament, and she doesn't know how to please the above.
Today, she finally understood under the gaze of the eldest princess of Jinyang, but this understanding made her rather not understand herself, and continued to be confused and confused.
She raised her head and looked at the stiff back of Empress Dowager Wen, the whole person was cold, this was not the cold caused by the loss of blood in the body and the pain in the lower body, but the chill in the heart.
The palace people who came to support her around her, as well as the imperial doctor who came from outside the door, all seemed to turn a blind eye, and only hugged the emperor's eldest grandson tightly and looked at the Empress Dowager Wen.
"Imperial Grandmother ......"
As soon as the crown princess shouted this sentence, tears fluttered and dripped down. She barely supported her body, wanting to lean over respectfully, wanting to make Empress Dowager Wen change her mind.
And at this time, suddenly an inner supervisor appeared at the door, and when he saw the scene in the house, he couldn't be surprised, so he just said to the people in the house with a panicked face: "The Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess...... The three princes sent servants to invite you to the emperor's bedroom, the emperor ...... I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to! ”
The words of the inner eunuch were like a thunderclap, the Empress Dowager Wen's body shook twice, tried her best to hold back the dizziness, and held the hand of the eldest princess of Jinyang with her hand, before she barely stood still, her eyes only looked at the inner eunuch sharply, and asked hysterically: "What nonsense are you talking about, the mourning family only went to see the emperor in the afternoon, and the emperor is still fine." How...... How could it suddenly not work? ”
The eldest princess of Jinyang also didn't believe it.
Although he rushed back to the palace all the way, he could be nursed by the imperial doctor, and the emperor's eldest grandson was born, and the emperor's health was obviously improving, how could it suddenly not work!
The majesty of the Empress Dowager Wen and the fierce gaze of the eldest princess of Jinyang made the inner eunuch's legs tremble and weaken with fright, and he fell to his knees with fluttering, crying and saying: "The slave doesn't know, I only heard that after the emperor went to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the second prince, he fell down when he came back, and immediately sent someone to invite His Royal Highness the Third Prince to come over, and then, the slave got the order of the Third Prince and came to invite the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
"Iniquity!"
Empress Dowager Wen covered her face and cried bitterly, but this was not the time to be sad at all, and the two didn't say anything more, just supported each other and walked towards the door.
Xia Yuelang and Fu Rui glanced at each other, and followed without saying a word.
It's just that when Fu Hui passed by the crown princess, she hesitated and stopped, and ordered the palace people below: "Escort the princess back to the East Palace, and ask the imperial doctor to take good care of the crown princess and the eldest grandson." ”
Regardless of whether the emperor can survive this time, but as the supreme master of this empire, if this kind of thing happens, I am afraid that the palace will be full of chickens and dogs, and at this time, no one will take care of an insignificant crown princess and an embarrassing emperor grandson.
Xia Yuelang and Fu Rui failed to catch up with the car of the Empress Dowager Wen and the eldest princess of Jinyang, and when they arrived at the emperor's bedroom, outside the door of the dormitory, there were kneeling with royal relatives and nobles, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. The two of them looked at the closed palace gate and hesitated whether to enter, but the inner supervisor guarding the door opened the palace door.
The two hesitated and took a step into the house, but no one stopped them.
It's just that although Xia Yuelang and Fu Rui entered the palace gate, they did not enter the emperor's bedroom, and in the bedroom, it was obvious that the emperor had summoned important ministers and royal relatives, and they were talking about something important.
Fu Hui and Xia Yuelang stood in the outer room of the dormitory and waited, Xia Yuelang was a little idle, and couldn't help but pull over the inner supervisor to ask about the situation.
The inner eunuch didn't dare to say much, and finally only said one thing: "The emperor has ordered to give His Royal Highness the second prince dove wine, but he only said that he could not leave a disaster for His Royal Highness the third prince." ”
