In the East Palace, Li Chengqian happily rewarded a group of people, these people received the favor of the prince, naturally acted smartly, kept secrets for him, and the most important thing was to hide from the emperor and the eldest grandson Wuji.
Rejecting Wu Mei's matter, the prince also proudly told him what a great thing he had done. That night, the East Palace Mansion was very lively, the lights were bright, and after the lights were turned off at night, he slipped into the prince's room, and did not come out until the next morning, with a radiant face.
Empress Changsun herself can't be reborn, but she can't finish her leisure with the children, and she has recruited a few young ladies from several families for Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian picks his nose and picks his eyes, but he doesn't agree, and he prevaricates for various reasons. Empress Changsun can't do anything about him, he is indeed not very old, and it will not hurt in two years.
Another year of scorching heat is coming, because the weather is hot, the eldest grandson queen has symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath, sweating like rain every day, but she does not feel thirsty. The imperial doctor was really helpless, so he could only suggest escaping the heat.
In order to make his wife feel more comfortable, Li Shimin rushed the construction of Jiucheng Palace, and then temporarily moved the court here.
Before leaving, Empress Changsun personally went to visit the Emperor Taishang, who was very ill and was lying on the bed talking nonsense. Empress Eldest Sun burst into tears, quickly wiped it, put on a smiling face, and said, "Father, Your Majesty specially asked your daughter-in-law to come and invite your father to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer." ”
"The people hate me, how can you say that?" Li Yuan said coldly.
This? The eldest grandson queen is quite helpless, the deeper the resentment between the father and son, I am afraid that it will not be resolved.
"Innocent, your queen mother entrusted me with her dreams. I said I missed you. Li Yuan muttered again.
Empress Eldest Sun was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I must be complaining that my daughter-in-law has not burned incense for many days." I'll make it up in a few days. ”
"Go ahead!"
"Yes!"
Empress Changsun walked out of Da'an Palace with heavy steps, but refused to take the phoenix. Instead, he walked like this, and his heart swelled with infinite desolation. Everyone in the world says that it is good to be a queen, why is it better to be more down-to-earth in the Qin Palace?
A gust of wind suddenly blew in the alley, and on a hot summer day, the rest of the people felt very refreshed, but the eldest grandson queen, who had always been timid, felt a chill down her spine, and had a feeling of early winter.
"Who?!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and Empress Eldest Sun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, feeling more and more physically exhausted.
"Who's making a fuss?" Empress Eldest Sun asked unhappily.
"Returning to the Queen. Just now, someone saw a middle-aged woman passing by, dressed very strangely, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. The attendant hurriedly replied.
"Presumably there must be a woman who has entered the palace, why make a fuss?"
"Yes, my subordinates know their mistakes!"
Empress Changsun felt tired, so she sat on the phoenix, hot and cold, as if she was going to be sick, and someone seemed to be shouting her name in her ears in a daze. When I looked up, it turned out to be the face of a middle-aged woman.
This face looked strange and familiar, and Empress Changsun thought for a long time in confusion, and finally remembered a portrait. Suddenly exclaimed: "Aren't you the Empress Dowager Dou?" ”
Oops, Empress Eldest Sun was clever and suddenly opened her eyes. But he didn't think it was a dream, and took a step back in horror. The body was unstable, and he actually fell upside down from the phoenix.
The crowd was terrified. She helped the eldest grandson queen up, but she waved her hand again and again, ignoring the pain on her body, and urged: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”
Contacting the woman that the attendants saw just now, Empress Changsun felt more and more cold, and her teeth couldn't help fighting. In fact, this phenomenon is also very popular, not that there are really ghosts dedicated, but that the eldest grandson Wuji first heard the name from the Emperor Taishang, and his heart was sensitive, and he was always in a state of tension.
I also heard the attendant say that I saw a strange woman, and I was even more scared, because I was weak and sick, and I hallucinated while napping, but in fact, it was just the old palace maid who came to the Shangyi Bureau to get a change of clothes.
is old, his appearance is no longer good, his body is blessed, and he is homeless, so he can only die in the palace. This kind of woman's heart has long been numb, she lives like a walking corpse, and she doesn't pay attention to her clothes, she wears which set she wears when she picks it up, and she happens to wear the style that was popular twenty or thirty years ago, her face is expressionless, and she is not afraid of the guards.
Empress Changsun repeatedly told her that she couldn't tell her about today's events, and the attendants fell on the queen, of course, nodding again and again, who was idle and full of food and looking for death.
Along the way, the eldest grandson queen was very hesitant, her body bones were really not good, saying that she was afraid of the heat, that is, she didn't feel cool with ice cubes, saying that she was afraid of the cold, and others were sweating profusely, but she couldn't wait to cover the quilt.
Since the preparations for moving to Jiucheng Palace for the summer have been completed, especially Li Shimin, who temporarily moved the court to that side for the sake of his wife, Empress Changsun didn't want to be infamous as a wicked woman because she tossed everyone.
Jiucheng Palace is built by the mountains and rivers, the environment is elegant, especially in summer, the constant temperature is 27 degrees, neither cold nor hot, it is a very nourishing temperature. Everyone is very comfortable here, including Yuan Ziyan, this is a natural air conditioner, and he will not get air conditioning disease, every joint is very comfortable, the spirit is good, and the work efficiency is also very high.
But Empress Changsun is tormenting every day, this temperature makes her feel like she is in an ice cellar, because the other concubines come less, and there are many days to sleep, and it is not good to show it in front of the emperor, she has been gritting her teeth and enduring.
Finally, when the hot summer passed, the eldest grandson queen fell ill when she returned to the main hall, and the menacing mountain was like a mountain, and the medicine stone was hopeless. Li Shimin was so anxious that he invited famous doctors all over the world to diagnose and treat him, but he was powerless.
Empress Changsun did not forget to worry about her son's marriage during her illness, and struggled to select a few to enter the palace, so she had to let Cheng Qian pick out a princess from among them.
Cheng Qian twisted and pinched but didn't agree, the eldest grandson queen was very angry, and said in tears and trembling voice: "Cheng Qian, my son, people have their own days, and the queen mother's body is afraid that it will not work, do you want the queen mother to not see you get married before she dies?" ”
"Mother, I ...... the child"
"Don't say it again, the queen mother has selected a number of good ladies for you, just waiting outside, you need to choose a princess among them." After speaking, Empress Eldest Sun coughed.
The satisfaction on the side pushed Cheng Qian and said, "Prince, don't make the queen angry, let's choose one!" ”
"But I really don't like them!"
"I haven't seen it, so I don't like it, maybe there is a beautiful woman that the prince likes!"
"No one is as good as you!"
"What are you two muttering?" Empress Changsun looked up and saw the two chattering, and her heart was displeased.
"Let the child choose one according to the will of the queen mother." Li Chengqian finally compromised, his face was full of reluctance, and Empress Changsun was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to invite a few young ladies in.
Nine beauties walked in, and greeted the queen and the prince delicately, and the eldest grandson and queen liked all of them, and their character and family background were also carefully screened.
However, Li Chengqian didn't bother to look at them, and only came to a few people lazily under the urging of Empress Eldest Sun. Several young ladies all smiled at the corners of their mouths, standing in a standard posture, hoping to be favored by the prince, but there was only one girl, who was really honest, and this kind of occasion almost scared her, her body trembled, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian grinned when he saw her, and said happily: "Queen Mother, it's her!" ”
Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly looked at it, but couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment. This girl is the daughter of Taizhou Thorn Shi and secretary Cheng Sugan, although she is also outstanding, but from the perspective of the nine girls, she is not the best in terms of birth and appearance, I don't know why Cheng Qian fell in love with her.
"Cheng Qian, do you really like the Su girl?" Empress Eldest Sun asked again uneasily.
"The queen mother, the child is very satisfied, it's her!" Li Chengqian kept looking, and the eldest grandson looked at the girl again, although she had stage fright, she could be trained for a few years, and her father's place of office was far away from the capital, so there would be no suspicion of foreign relatives interfering in politics in the future.
Especially the crown princess will be the mother of the world in the future, and it is better to be calm than charming. With a little hesitation, the eldest grandson queen finally decided that it was this woman.
The Su family girl was surprised, she didn't expect that she would be selected, her parents didn't have much hope before she came, it was like a pie on her head. Panicked and thanked, her limbs trembled, and her voice was out of tune, which made Empress Changsun frown for a while, and it seemed that she would have to train herself in the future.
Now that the matter has been settled, the son is still very happy, and the relationship is just to get in love, and the eldest grandson queen gradually put her mind at ease. After Li Shimin learned about it, he also felt that his son had a good vision, the lintel and everything else were secondary, and it was not a matter of his own words, he could raise as high as he wanted, just take his time.
"Prince, I think the rest of the young ladies are better than this one, why did you choose the Su family?" After going out, he scratched his head and asked.
"Hehe, those few eyes are rolling, shrewd like little foxes, where will the prince be free in the future? This, what is this surname? ”
"Sue!"
"Yes, the Su family is honest, and she is still timid, as long as the prince scares her, she doesn't dare to say a word. And she is a small family, and she has become a princess, what else do you want to hope for! Li Chengqian said.
"But His Royal Highness the Prince, if the two of them don't agree, it's boring to watch every day." Satisfaction is still a little incomprehensible.
"Fool!" Li Chengqian stopped, gently stroked his face, and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't give you the title, otherwise this princess can still be the turn of others?" ”
"I am satisfied with the words of the prince, and I will die without regrets!"
"Don't die, I want you to live well and stay with me for the rest of your life!"
"There's another life!"
The two children ran away hand in hand, Xiao Zhaorong who was not far away sneered, she was a person from the past, she had never experienced anything, the prince's actions had already explained everything, he really cared about this little follower. (To be continued......)
