In the capital during the state funeral, all the flowers are white and quiet, and the noisy market pedestrians in the past are now all hurrying with their heads down.

Now it has been a month since the death of the first emperor, the prince has ascended the throne in the Taihe Hall with the support of the ministers, the year name is Hongxi, and the first emperor is respected as the emperor of the body Tianhongdao Gaoming Guangyun Shengwu Shengong Chunren to Xiaowen Emperor, and the temple name is Taizong. Although in the days of mourning, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, made trouble together in front of the spirit of the first emperor, but they were all subdued by the ministers. When the two of them saw that the crown prince was in power, they expected that they would not be able to turn the tables, so they went back to their fiefdoms after the first emperor was buried. Prince, no, the current emperor is also relieved to see that the two plague gods were sent away safely. I'm starting to enjoy the feeling of being the only one.

After so many days of chaos, it is finally the end of the world, Yuyu is clear, this day just went down, the emperor remembered the concubine Guo and a few young sons who had not seen him for several days, and couldn't help but miss it very much, so he ordered the chamberlain: "Go to Chengqian Palace." ”

The chamberlain responded smartly: "Guo Niangniang has been waiting for the saint to wait for her eyes, and a few little princes also miss you." ”

The Emperor sighed: "They came from the south, are they still used to this climate?" But if you need anything, you don't have to report it, just go straight to the inner library to get it. ”

The chamberlain answered in a low voice, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say anything more, but was glared at fiercely by a chief eunuch in a patch uniform next to him, and he was so frightened that he swallowed the words in his mouth and didn't dare to say anything.

The frame is parked at the door of the Chengqian Palace, this Chengqian Palace has just been built not long ago, and it has not yet been the owner, it was built by the first emperor for the most favored Goryeo concubine Quan, but the Quan family died not long after coming to Beijing, and the Chengqian Palace has not had time to live.

This Chengqian Palace is built to be splendid, beautiful, and belongs to the most gorgeous and exquisite first palace in the East Six Palaces. The emperor's arrangement for the Guo family to live here reflects the weight of the Guo family's mother and son in the emperor's heart.

Guo got the news early, and at this time, he brought his young son Zhu Zhanyun to greet him at the gate of the palace. When the emperor saw this, he hurriedly got down, opened his arms to hug Zhu Zhanyun, who rushed towards him, picked up his beloved son and said to Concubine Guo with disgust: "Yun'er is still young, and it's cold outside, what are you letting him come out for?" I didn't have to freeze him. ”

This Guo is only in his twenties, and he is born with eyebrows like willows, and his every move is infinite. It is the granddaughter of Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, the founding of the country, and since she married the prince and was named Chenghui, she has favored the prince's mansion. The emperor now has ten sons, just looking at the eighth son Zhu Zhanyan, the ninth son Zhu Zhanyan, and the tenth son Zhu Zhanyan are all from Concubine Guo, you can see where the emperor's favor has been all these years.

At this time, when Concubine Guo heard the emperor's reproach, her eyes turned red, her eyes were full of waves, and tears were not dropping: "The concubines dare not disobey." As a prince, how can he be afraid of the cold and not greet his father? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, I'm afraid that I will be blamed again. ”

As he spoke, tears were already dripping.

The emperor picked her up, walked to the palace, frowned, and said, "Listen to what you mean, what did Zhan Ji say?" ”

At this time, Zhu Zhanyun in his arms hugged his neck and said softly: "Father, father, I don't want to be here, I want to go back to Nanjing!" It's too cold here, the prince's brother won't let me wear a mink fur, father, I'm so cold, woo" and cried.

Concubine Guo didn't wait for Zhu Zhanyun to finish speaking, she was so frightened that she lost her face, and hurriedly dragged Zhu Zhanyun over, not allowing him to speak again, while hurriedly kneeling down and pleading guilty to the emperor: "Your Majesty! Don't blame him, I felt sorry for him when he was young and cold, so I put a mink fur on him. The prince has already rebuked him, and I have already replaced the mink fur for him, so please stop blaming him. If you want to blame, blame the concubine. ”

The emperor helped his concubine and son up and asked, "What the hell is going on?" I haven't understood what it is, so how can I blame you? ”

Concubine Guo said the reason in a low voice, it turned out that the emperor had been supervising the country in Nanjing before he ascended the throne, and it sounded like supervising the country, but in fact, he was sent to Nanjing by the emperor. Therefore, except for the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, who has been following the emperor in Beijing, the rest of the children have grown up in Nanjing. It's just that the winter in Beijing is much colder than in Nanjing, and the royal children who are used to the climate of Nanjing are naturally unbearable. Concubine Guo cherishes her sons, so she naturally wants to put on the best mink fur for her sons.

She was confused for a while, but she forgot that at this time, in the filial piety of the first emperor, according to the law, the princes had to keep Qi Qi for a year, although they could change from day to month, they also had to serve for three months. At this time, it was not yet a month, and the prince openly put on a mink fur, and the others were okay, but they fell into the eyes of Zhu Zhanji, who had a deep relationship with the first emperor, and he was counted. Concubine Guo couldn't, so she had to endure the shame and order someone to replace the prince, but she relied on favor and wanted to give the emperor's grandson eye medicine.

When the emperor saw Concubine Guo in tears, his heart ached. Stretched out his hand to help her up, "It's just that the child is wearing the wrong clothes, what's the big deal." You don't have to be afraid, Zhan Ji also pointed it out for your good, if it falls into the eyes of the imperial history, I'm afraid it's not so simple, you don't know the rules, don't the minions in this palace know the rules either? Someone came, and the chief eunuch here was replaced. You can't do this little thing, so what's the use of you? ”

Concubine Guo saw that the emperor not only didn't say anything about the prince, but instead folded her henchmen into it, and couldn't help but hate it in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "It's good that the emperor and His Royal Highness the prince don't blame, and the concubines are relieved." ”

When the emperor heard this, his heart moved: Seeing that his concubine and son are now so afraid of the prince, if I wait for a hundred years, how will the prince treat his brothers?

At that moment, the emperor said angrily: "He has not been canonized yet, he is not a prince at this time, and Hugh is going to scream." Okay, come over and tell your father, what words did you learn today? ”

Not to mention Concubine Guo, who was secretly overjoyed when she heard the words, only said that Empress Zhang of Kunning Palace, she listened attentively to a small chamberlain who whispered the conversation between Emperor Fangcai and Concubine Guo word for word, and then waved her hand to order the little chamberlain to go. Only then did he look in the direction of Chengqian Palace, and after a while, he lowered his eyes and quietly raised the tea bowl in his hand, took a sip of tea and ordered: "Go and invite the grandson, no, the prince." I want to see, if he is not the prince, who else can be the prince? ”

After the affairs of the court were decided, the courtiers headed by the British prince Zhang Fu asked the emperor to set up the prince as soon as possible and divide the harem.
