Chapter 20: Doom

The palace people came in and put out the lights and candles and withdrew, and the room suddenly darkened, and only the faint light of the night pearl wrapped in light gauze remained between the beds. :Music:Text:Novel 3wしw0

Xu Lian couldn't see his expression clearly, and she didn't know what to say for a while. She carefully recalled that since marrying him, he really didn't seem to have found anyone else.

Needless to say, the sweet joy lingers in my heart, and my brain can't help but open.

Could it be that she is really the true love of the legend?

But this doesn't make sense, right, how long have we known each other? Xu Lian thinks that she doesn't have the charm to make His Royal Highness the Prince, who has seen a big scene, fall in love with her at first sight, is it the legendary stand-in? He is as similar as 99% to his dead beloved, and then the emotion is transferred or something.

Thinking about it carefully, Xu Lian felt that she couldn't sleep if she didn't understand, so she pushed him and said: "Your Highness, the concubine thinks that she knows the omission, I don't know why the queen mother chose the concubine to marry Her Highness in the first place?" ”

The prince was very tired from running for the day to repair the canal, and he was sleeping on his pillow, but he was suddenly woken up, slightly annoyed, and listened to this boundless question, and said bluntly without thinking about it: "Xu is queen mother is also the same as Lonely, and I feel that you are the most stupid among so many women's statues." ”

Xu Lianben waited with bated breath, but when he got such a sentence, he turned sideways and fell asleep again, she lifted her foot to the edge of his fart, hesitated between kicking him down and not dying, her foot withdrew and let out a long breath and turned over and fell asleep with his back to him.

Xuande Palace, Emperor Yanping held a book in his hand, his eyebrows were gathered, the more he read it, the worse his look became, especially when he read it to the end: "Chen Mingren is soft-spoken, His Royal Highness's majesty is no longer violable, the more I am afraid of seeing the emperor's private seal, the only way to receive the order, the process of repairing the canal is in full swing, the holy decree has not been issued, the minister has not been able to sleep at night since listening to His Royal Highness's actions, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.

"Evil animal, it's really the opposite."

Jia Ren bowed down and picked up the song and put it in the corner of the bookcase, and persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, the dragon body is important." ”

"How am I going to appease my anger? It is my attitude to leave the fold in the middle and not send it, but he can take out the private seal of the first emperor to persecute the officials, where is I placed? ”

Jia Ren's eyebrows didn't move, and he picked out the key point to remind: "The slave is stupid, but the private seal given by the emperor when His Highness was young?" If so, the relics of the emperor are of great significance. ”

It's okay not to say this, but Emperor Yanping was even more angry when he heard it, not to mention the extraordinary significance? This dynasty rules the world with filial piety, if he refutes what the prince did with his private seal, it is disrespectful to the first emperor, and this rebel son is pinching this point, so he dares to be so presumptuous.

Jia Ren stopped mixing oil and vinegar, and said: "Your Majesty has been watching the excerpt for a long time, and it's time to rest, the wind and cold of the third prince have improved a little today, and your Majesty wants to go and take a look?" ”

How can a bold and reckless rebel son have a well-behaved and lovely young son who is intimate and agreeable, Emperor Yanping thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.

In the apse of Yihua Palace, Tong Yan said something in the ear of Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu, who had been guarding the bed side of the third prince since returning from Yanwang Palace, immediately returned to the dormitory and changed into a plain Luo dress of lotus green embroidered bamboo, faded the fat powder hairpin ring, and only lightly applied a layer of powder, showing a little haggard and a charm of not applying powder, and returned to the apse again, took the towel from the palace maid and waved all the palace people away.

What Emperor Yanping saw was that Concubine Shu was unintentionally dressed up for her son, and she didn't even know when she came in, concentrating on changing the towel on her forehead for the child on the bed, Emperor Yanping walked over, put his hand on Concubine Shu's shoulder, and called softly: "Jiaojiao." ”

Concubine Huo Ran got up, turned her head to look at Emperor Yanping, her surprised and aggrieved look turned into sorrow and despair in an instant, tears flowed before she spoke, and her lips trembled lightly and snorted: "Your Majesty xià ......"

Emperor Yanping's pity in his heart was even worse, and he added the guilt of being snubbed for a few days, and his eyes moved to the third prince on the bed, whose cheeks were red and his little face was wrinkled, and said, "How is Feng'er?" ”

Concubine Shu didn't use a handkerchief, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and choked up: "I got rid of the fever last night, and I can eat some porridge and rice...... You say he's such a small person, how can he stand it......"

Emperor Yanping grabbed Concubine Shu's shoulder and persuaded softly: "Don't hurt your mind too much, Xu Shifeng'er should have this catastrophe in her fate." ”

Concubine Shu stopped sobbing: "If it is a catastrophe, I, as a mother, am willing to bear it for him, but the hateful thing is that Feng'er needs to be careful at this age, and there is no cool breeze at night, if it weren't for the night vigil palace maid who opened the back window for a night, how could Feng'er suffer like this?" ”

Emperor Yanping was shocked: "There is such a thing?" Where is the palace maid now? ”

"The palace maid did not protect effectively, the concubine wanted to deal with the palace rules, the queen mother recently put the Buddha hall for His Royal Highness fasting for a month, not to see blood, ordered the palace to take twenty lashes to go to the autumn to leave the hospital to do hard labor.

Autumn is the place where the deposed palace concubine stays, although the punishment is heavy, compared to her responsibility for causing the prince's serious illness, the prince is already well, the queen still eats and prays for him, Feng'er is still sick, but the palace maid who committed the crime is so lightly spared, in the end, it is not his own children who will treat each other so differently...... Emperor Yanping frowned, but the queen didn't say anything after all.

At this moment, the eyes of the three princes moved, and Concubine Shu exclaimed in surprise and called "Your Majesty", and Emperor Yanping hurriedly ordered someone to announce the imperial doctor.

The imperial physician arrived, administered a few injections, and commanded the palace people to help the three princes pour a bowl of decoction, so tossing the three princes' faces The flush receded, and the imperial physician waved his hand at Emperor Yanping, and said: "The fever has receded, and whether the minister can be healed will need to be delayed for a few more days." ”

Emperor Yanping bowed his head, ordered everyone to retreat, sat on the edge of the bed and held the little hand of the third prince and asked, "How does Feng'er feel now?" ”

Erchen felt much better. The sons are not filial, and the father and the queen are worried about the sons. Because of the sick and weak voice, it seemed a little milky, Emperor Yanping smiled lovingly and lifted the quilt for him: "What stupid thing did this kid say?" ”

Although the third prince is liked by Emperor Yanping, there are not many opportunities for father and son to see each other on weekdays, and now that he is sick, he is even more dependent on his father, and he has to say more regardless of the sore throat. ”

Emperor Yanping saw that he was still reading his homework at this time, and felt that this child was well-behaved and sensible at a young age, so he persuaded Wen Yan: "This book can't be finished, but the body is the most important. Do you remember where the gentleman said? ”

As soon as he mentioned his homework, the third prince had the spirit, and immediately responded: "Erchen remembers." Last time, Mr. said of the "Five Punishments of the Book of Filial Piety", "Those who want a monarch are supreme, those who are not saints cannot, and those who are not filial have no relatives." The way of this great chaos is also'. ”

Emperor Yanping's face sank when he heard this, and he said, "Feng'er can understand the meaning?" ”

The third prince was a little afraid of the sudden change in his father's expression, but he still replied according to the countless drafts he had imagined in his heart: "The sons think that it is hateful to disobey the monarch's father, not to respect the saints, and not to understand filial piety, but in comparison to those who misinterpret filial piety and coerce others with the words of the saints. ”

Concubine Shu has been standing quietly on the side not to disturb the father and son talking, at this moment seeing Emperor Yanping's solemn expression implied anger, obviously because of the content of the answer to remember something unpleasant, if this answer is placed on weekdays, she will definitely reprimand too aggressively, but remembering the news that the prince has recently gotten frequent actions in Puzhou, her heart suddenly became clear, and she gave her son who was nervous a look of appreciation.

Before going to bed, the sentence "You are the stupidest" almost didn't make Xu Lian angry, and when she woke up the next day, she still felt very uncomfortable, but when she realized that he was about to wake up, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep and didn't dare to fight him, for fear that she couldn't help but lose her temper or something, and her thigh-hugging career would fall short.

The prince thought that she had not woken up yet, so he lightly lifted the curtain and put on her shoes, and when she came back to see that her eyelashes were still fluttering, he knew that she was pretending to be asleep, and he directly debunked without mercy: "Lone knows that you have woken up." ”

If you know, you know, no one asks you to say it. Xu Lian scolded secretly, picked up the quilt and covered herself over her head and buried herself in it, so she didn't get up, what's the matter.

The prince sat on the bed and stretched out his hand to pull the quilt twice, but he couldn't pull it down, so he simply picked her up with the quilt, let Xu Lian's back lean against the bed wall, and the quilt slid down, revealing Xu Lian's head with unkempt hair like a bird's nest.

Laughing at your soul, Xu Lian knocked off his outstretched hand and straightened his messy hair by herself

The prince finished laughing, and looked still puffed up, and suddenly put one hand on her lower abdomen through the quilt.

Xu Lian's movements froze, and she was suddenly shocked: Is this to care about the rhythm of her menstrual cramps?

Then the prince said in a consoling tone: "Lone knows that you are not happy, and you can't be in a hurry about this matter, the time is still short, there will always be." ”

Xu Lian: "......"

After speaking, the prince left Xu Lian, who had a brain crash, and called someone to come in and serve.

After he left, Xu Lian sat on the bed with the quilt rolled up and reacted silently.

Did he think that she didn't want to pay attention to people in the morning because she wasn't pregnant, so she happily coquetted with him?

Her temperament is to come and go quickly, and most of the oolong has gone after such an oolong, and after the morning, the prince ordered someone to send a pot of water lily bonsai over, and she was coaxed immediately.

In fact, I don't blame her for being so coaxing, this master will laugh with her when there is quite warmth between the sheets, and get along all day with a "girl, please respect yourself" face or "what do I do to save this idiot's heart" face, although there is no lack of reasons why she loves to pounce up, but it is the first time that he sends a bonsai to coax people or something, and she is not stupid and she reluctantly forgives him.

Of course, as soon as the aunt's period passed, reason also returned, although I don't know which tendon he was tied to, Xu Lian also understood that it was very rare for him to be able to do this step in this world, so he decided to make something small for him to count as a reward, in order to show his full affirmation of his expression

The first time I did this, I still had to be cautious, Xu Lian found steamed buns and Chun Tao to discuss together.

The steamed bun is embroidered with a sachet, the reason is that His Royal Highness can wear it with him, and every time he sees it, he can remember the affection of the master.

Xu Lian: ...... Sounds so tooth sore.

Chun Tao said that he was very disgusted, the sachet was too ordinary, any concubine could send it, how could it reflect the identity of the mother, and I don't know if His Royal Highness would not smell any spices, and then something would go wrong, and then something would go wrong, and he would be very happy and sad, or embroider the concentric knot, which not only shows affection, but also shows identity, and it is not easy to have an accident.

Xu Lian: ...... It's still tooth soreness, and the other two are the ones to wear, the girls can't ask for it.

was discussing and couldn't come up with a result, the former "card friend" little eunuch was anxious to see outside, and after being allowed to come in, he knelt down and said: "My master has an accident, please help Niangniang." ”

The little eunuch's master is Chen Bao, the head of the eunuch must have provoked the prince, and the apprentice will come to her after provoking, so it can be seen that he is also panicking, Xu Lian has always had a good impression of the honest and honest father-in-law Bao, and decided to follow the idea of being idle and idle.

It doesn't matter if you don't go, as soon as you arrive, you will find that the atmosphere is very wrong, through the door, I saw Chen Bao and a group of eunuchs kneeling on the ground, the prince sat without saying a word, Xu Lian had never seen him so fierce, she saw that she was careful and trembling and decided to leave immediately without wading into this troubled water, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a crumpled fragment on the desk, which was the topographic map she drew that day in order to get back her yard to eat mung bean cake, and there should be the sentence "The protracted battle, get up and ...... backache"

She went in and picked up the half piece of paper, and was about to speak, when she was interrupted by the prince in a cold voice: "Leave it down." ”
