Chapter 345: Joy and Sorrow

readx; Two days after the triumph, the palace was still in celebration, and Concubine Zhou gave birth to a daughter, who was the sixth princess. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The INFO sage was very fond of this daughter, who was regarded as one of the auspicious signs, and personally went to Hanliang Hall with Queen Du to visit. Because the child was too young, the two only looked at it for a long time and did not get close. However, hearing her cry loudly naturally made me feel much more relieved.

When many concubines heard the news, they secretly felt sorry for Concubine Zhou De. As everyone knows, Concubine Zhou Defei knew that after she gave birth to the sixth princess, she completely relaxed and rested. This child came by a very coincidental coincidence, and as a mother, she naturally hoped that she would not have to be involved in all kinds of turmoil in the future. Princess? The princess is the most reassuring and pampered, even if she is also heartbroken for her future future, it will not cause speculation about right and wrong.

After the emperor returned to the Penglai Palace, the sage drank the bitter medicine soup carefully boiled by the Shang Medicine Bureau before approaching Empress Du and gently caressing her abdomen. Queen Du lowered her eyes and smiled, showing her kindness. However, when the corner of her eye swept over the empty medicine bowl, her brow couldn't help but move slightly.

She had already noticed that the saint seemed to be sick, but it should have been only mild. After all, none of the people who served the medicine showed any signs of anxiety, and the saint didn't seem to care. However, seeing that the saint had to drink bitter medicine every day, and the symptoms of light cough were not getting better, she inevitably became a little worried.

At this time, Princess Changning also came back with Princess Yong'an: "Fang Cai'er also took Wanniang to take a look at Liuniang, looking red all over, and her arms and legs were very strong." When they heard the news, the emperor and queen had not long left. However, even they only glanced at it from a distance, lest they disturb the little one.

The happy events in the palace came one after another, and all the signs meant auspiciousness, which also made Princess Changning gradually believe in her heart that the child born by Queen Du must be a brother. Otherwise, Grandpa's expectations will be disappointed again, and it will have an immeasurable impact on both the court and the court. After all, the saint is now thirty-five or sixteen years old, and so far he has not been able to find a suitable heir, and the political situation must be difficult to stabilize.

"By the way, A-Niang, tomorrow is Wang Jialuoniang's big day, I want to send her to get married." Princess Changning suddenly remembered the wedding card sent by the Wang family, and said with a smile, "Wan Niang and Shou Niang have also been thinking about going together to join in the fun." Because the emperor didn't fully know the little ladies around her, she specially added: "She is the eldest sister of Wang Sheren, married to the new Ming Jing Juzi, and is currently serving in Hongwenguan." ”

"It turned out to be Zhiyuan's married sister." Hearing this, the sage was also a little more interested, "Why don't Zitong give him an item and marry it as an object at the bottom of the box?" "The queen's gift, no matter what it is, is naturally a good thing for both parties to get married, and it also shows the saint's love and trust for the prince.

Queen Du hooked the corners of her lips: "The sage is right, just pick a set of heads." ”

Princess Changning slapped her palms and smiled: "Tomorrow, send a palace envoy to send it in full view of everyone, Luo Niang will definitely be very happy." ”

When it came to marriage, and seeing his beloved daughter's eyes smiling like crescent moons, and seeing no shadow of the previous marriage, the saint couldn't help but move slightly in his heart: "Yue Niang, you seem to be very close to the Wang family?" ”

"Yes, Luo Niang and Xiang Niang have excellent temperaments, and I often invite them to play and feast together." Princess Changning didn't understand the meaning of his words for a while, and replied with a smile, "Carefully speaking, we are also very fateful. If it weren't for the close relationship between Brother Ah and the Wangsheren, we wouldn't have known ......."

"Would it be nice to let them be your sisters-in-law?" The sage asked coldly.

Princess Changning was stunned for a moment, and even the smile on Queen Du's face couldn't help but stiffen. Then I heard the sage continue: "He is young and promising, both civil and military, and extremely handsome, so he can be described as a good son-in-law who is difficult to find. If it weren't for the fact that your grandfather had already set the marriage of the Yan family for you, I would have immediately decreed that he would be the son-in-law of our family. Now that he is not married, and you have long since divorced, isn't it a godsend? ”

"I will never marry him!" After reacting, Princess Changning almost instinctively refused, "No matter who I marry, I must never marry him!" That's my brother's "princess" and a serious "sister-in-law", how can she get her hands dirty? What's more, she really wants to marry into the Wang family and let Sister Wang Luoniang be her sister-in-law - but this one is also the eldest brother, not the husband!! This kind of thing that violates common morality, just thinking about it, makes you shudder, okay?

"Why are you reacting so violently?" The saint frowned slightly, "What's wrong with Wang Aiqing?" I dare to say that I can't find a better young man than him in Chang'an City. Even your cousin Jing Xing, who is quite talented in Yu Xingwu, is not as talented as his all-round talent for cultural relics. The youngest head of the dynasty, if he can't become his own family, I really feel sorry. ”

"Is Grandpa valuing his people, or is it something he can master in the future?" Seeing that he seemed to be a little obsessed, Princess Changning couldn't help but be anxious, and said a word to break through the worries in his heart, "Grandpa wants to support an absolutely credible person and gradually replace those old ministers?" With the uncle of the Qin family in front of him, he felt that his son-in-law must be more suitable?! Can't Grandpa think about it? If you marry for the first time, can't you marry again?! ”

The saint was stunned and watched her turn away, as if in flames. It was the first time that the poor father had seen his beloved daughter so angry, and he couldn't help but look at Queen Du in disdain: "Zitong...... I am also thinking about Yue Niang, not because of ...... "Prince Xian is such a young man, which father with a daughter doesn't feel moved when he sees it?" In a short period of time, can you find a better son than him?

However, it is undeniable that he does have the intention of supporting a family member of his own to fight against Jian Guogong. After all, although Li Xin, Li Hui, and Li Wei and Li Jing are powerful nephews with trustworthy character, they can't give them power too casually, so as not to fuel their unnecessary ambitions. Only son-in-law, only marriage, is the fastest and most effective way to balance.

Queen Du knew about her beloved daughter's past, and she also paid special attention to her relationship status. Indeed, no matter who you marry, it is more appropriate than marrying a prince. After all, if she marries this person by mistake, it is equivalent to completely severing her fate with that young man. In the future, you will have to face each other from time to time, and you will surely feel pain and regret for the rest of your life.

"......" After a moment of silence, Queen Du could only sigh, "Your Majesty, this time to choose a son-in-law, let Yue Niang choose it herself." As for the rest, maybe if you think about it, there is a more appropriate solution? ”

The saint lowered his eyes and was silent, and after a long time, Fang coughed lightly again.

*******************

The next day, the Wang family's small house was full of joy. Although the royal palace has been given three roads and five entrances, it is not easy to clean up after all, and it is not possible to catch up with the auspicious day. Therefore, Wang Luoniang is still married in her family's current Sanjin courtyard. He Cheng's family also built an exquisite courtyard in the neighborhood next door, which is said to have cost thousands of yuan. The wedding was also within the scope of the etiquette system, and it was extremely lively and magnificent.

As the palace envoy sent a complete set of heads and noodles to the bride to press the bottom of the box, all the guests were bright-eyed and surrounded the prince more and more enthusiastically. After all, anyone can see the future of Wang Sheren. At this time, you don't bother to make friends with him, how long will it take?

There are many guests in the main hall, but they are all people who do not interact closely with each other on weekdays. On the contrary, it was the prince who offered his true friends, such as Cheng Wei, Fan Wu, Yan Balang, and En'ergu and other Qianniuwei, who quietly sat in another courtyard and were personally entertained by the king of Xin'an County.

Energu and several other foreigners didn't understand the customs of the Central Plains, and only thought that the prince couldn't take care of it, so he specially invited his friend Li Hui to help him, and also took the opportunity to let his friends get to know each other. However, the other Qianniuwei were all puzzled in their hearts: Didn't you hear that Wang Jia Saburo was vulgar a few days ago? Why should Wang Saburo come out to entertain guests? Even if the relationship between the king of Xin'an and the Wang Sheren is close, it is an outsider! How can such an occasion allow the King of Sin'an to entertain guests as the host?

Cheng Wei, Fan Wu, Yan Balang and the others glanced at each other, and everything was silent. Li Hui pretended not to notice everyone's confusion, smiled slightly and raised his glass to persuade them to have a glass of wine. Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, naturally didn't notice anything, and shouted loudly to help his cousin persuade him to drink. Du Chongfeng shook his head helplessly - as a close person, he was so slow to offer this move to the prince, and it was no wonder that he had not noticed anything unusual so far. If His Royal Highness King Sipu knows about this matter, it will definitely be gloomy for a few days!!

A group of people drank glass after glass, and the new son-in-law had not come to the door to marry, and the Qianniuwei felt that their stomachs were full of wine and a little groggy. On the other hand, the king of Xin'an didn't drink much, and almost all the good wine went into the belly of the king of Tianshui. His expression was also extremely satisfied: "It's good to go out to fight, but it's hard to eat or drink!" It's been a long time since I've drunk the wine of Chang'an City!! ”

"If you want to drink, drink enough." The king of Xin'an next to him smiled lightly and continued to fill it for him.

At dusk, the new son-in-law came to greet the relatives, and the guests immediately came to see the excitement. You must know that the eldest brother of the Wang family is the youngest head of the dynasty and the senior brother of the new son-in-law. This contest between brothers and sisters-in-law must be particularly interesting.

Li Hui listened to the cheers from afar and curled the corners of his lips. In order to successfully win the approval of his eldest brother, He Cheng invited his junior brother Yan Shishilang and several colleagues as his concubines. He even wanted to invite Cheng Wei to help, but Cheng Wei refused on the grounds that he was a close friend of Wang Zixian. Compared with the two sides, the difference in strength is huge, presumably He Cheng and the prime ministers all feel deep pressure, lest they be embarrassed by their eldest brother and unable to marry a beautiful woman smoothly. However, perhaps only he knows that this eldest brother has never thought of embarrassing his own junior brother, and the pairs and couplets prepared for him are also the simplest.

Just when he was hesitating whether to listen to the conversation between the two brothers, Li Hui suddenly saw that Wang Zimu, who was wearing a hanging foot, was hurrying out of a certain courtyard and whispered to the servants and maids what to prepare. At the gate of the Moon Cave on the other side, Princess Changning, who had quietly come to celebrate, stopped and looked at him fixedly. Wang Zimu seemed to sense her gaze and raised his head suddenly. The two looked at each other stupidly across the courtyard, but neither of them ever approached even a single step.

Not long after, a servant and maid hurriedly summoned Wang Zimu away, and Princess Changning suddenly came back to her senses and found her brother standing not far away. Her smile was a little bitter: "Brother, is it possible, I can't even remarry?" ”

Li Hui looked at her with pity: "Don't be anxious, just wait a little longer." ”

"I'll wait." Princess Changning said in a low voice, "I can wait as long as I want." After he has learned the scriptures or entered the ranks, he will come and marry me in a beautiful way. However, Grandpa couldn't wait. Of course, she had anger and sorrow in her heart, but when she recalled the appearance of the saint's low cough, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

knew that he was thinking a lot, but no matter how many words he used, he couldn't dispel his suspicions, and it was even more difficult to share his worries. Could it be that she can only be a good and filial daughter at the cost of her own marriage?

Li Hui was silent: The matter of the saint's dragon body is not safe, as a henchman who is often in front of the emperor, he naturally knows. And he also noticed that since the saint was worried, his illness seemed to have tended to worsen. If I can't help him, I'm afraid his symptoms will continue to deteriorate slowly. This may be a heart disease, which can only be treated by heart medicine.

*****************

More than a month later, Queen Du suddenly felt abdominal pain in the middle of the night. Princess Changning, who was waiting in the Penglai Palace, immediately sent someone to summon Fengyu, the medical girl and others, and then unsafely invited Princess Pu Yan and Princess Yue to sit in the town, and firmly suppressed the people in the palace who had thoughts on their minds. When the saint heard the news, he rushed over, and despite his daughter's persuasion, he insisted on waiting outside all night.

Under the pale moonlight, Princess Changning looked at the saint from afar, and the emotions in her heart were extremely complicated.

When the sky was bright, there was a sudden cry of a baby inside, and immediately Shang Gong came out with a smile to announce the good news: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, mother and son are safe!" The five princes were in good health, and Her Royal Highness the Empress took a temporary break. ”

The saint stood up suddenly, raised his head and laughed: "I have a prince!" I really have a prince!! Good boy! It's been so good!! ”

On August 21 of the sixth year of the general chapter, Queen Du gave birth to a son, and the preface was Wulang. The sage was overjoyed, immediately granted amnesty to the world, and insisted on appointing the fifth prince who was still in infancy as the crown prince. Although Wu Guogong, Jian Guogong and other old ministers had doubts and felt that it would not hurt to wait for the fifth prince to be a few years older before appointing the crown prince, the sage always insisted on his own opinion.
