After the old prince entered Beijing, the next thing that the whole capital is looking forward to is Cheng Zheng's marriage. But before this, there was a thing that said that it was not big or small, and that it was not small that the second prince Min Che had a child, and he was still a boy. said that it was big because this was the first imperial grandson of the dynasty, and because it was small because Min Che was just a prince who lost his power and was imprisoned, if it wasn't for the emperor's intention, his children wouldn't have too much honor. Min Che was previously confined in Mingyue Xuan, and several princesses and concubines went to serve, but I didn't expect that the good news came out not long after, when Ming An went to report to the emperor, he was playing chess with the emperor.

Seeing Ming Anle running in on tiptoe, the emperor casually asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The emperor is overjoyed." Ming An replied with a smile on his face and bowed.

"Where does the joy come from?"

"Congratulations to the emperor, happy to have the emperor's grandson. With the blessing of the ancestors, the royal family is spreading again. ”

The emperor didn't care: "Yao Ying, is she happy?" ”

Ming An reminded, "Your Majesty, not the eldest prince. ”

The emperor dropped the sunspot in his hand and said angrily, "Hasn't Minhe always been weak, he didn't even get married, and he learned to mess with the palace maids?"

Ming An picked up the two sunspots that had been splashed, "The emperor is angry, and he is not the third prince." ”

"That's? Is it Mincher? ”

"Exactly." Ming An cautiously observed the emperor's reaction.

The emperor took a long breath, fell into deep thought, and said no more. This is his first imperial grandson, and he naturally likes it, but Min Che was imprisoned in the name of the deposed prince, and this imperial grandson must not be taken lightly. If you ignore it, then I am afraid that the world will say that the emperor is ruthless, and he himself will be uneasy, and he will be ashamed of the dead queen. If it is too important, but it is as the princelings of the past, will they take this opportunity to make a comeback? Will the court, which has just calmed down, form gangs and factions again, and there will be constant disputes?

"What does my father think of this white son of his son?" Yilin asked seemingly casually.

The emperor turned his eyes to look at the chessboard and sighed: "Failed, I knew that it was a tiger's mouth and sent it inside." Is it to hint to the father that the tiger poison still does not eat the child? ”

"Definitely." As soon as he knew that the emperor had no intention of playing chess, he smiled and accepted his son, "My father is not a tiger, but a dragon." ”

The emperor looked at the conversation and laughed freely, and she must have already had an idea in her heart: "What about the dragon?" ”

"Dragons can fly, but tigers can't."

"Fly? What do you mean? ”

"No matter how fierce the tiger is, after all, it has to walk on the ground step by step, and it is difficult to escape the trap of the hunter. And the dragon, soaring through the clouds, is ever-changing and elusive. It's better for the father to come and indulge in the old and wait for work. ”

The emperor smiled: "You really look more and more like me." ”

"Thank you for your compliment. The eldest grandson of the emperor is the first grandson of the emperor, and his status is precious, so he must not take the name lightly, so it is better for the father to give a name to show favor? ”

"It's fine." The emperor nodded.

Ming'an has already laid out the rice paper and grinded it, waiting for the emperor to put pen to paper. The emperor wrote a large pen with the word "Qi", and explained overjoyedly, "Kai, Kaiye." My eldest grandson has made a good start for the royal family. ”

"Congratulations to the Emperor." Ming An laughed with him.

"Ming'an, you go to announce the decree, and by the way, bring the child to me to see."

"The emperor is benevolent, and the slave will go." After Ming'an went out, he came back after a short time, and returned to the emperor to say that the nurse was waiting outside with the emperor's eldest grandson.

"It's a big day outside, you're too careless, come in quickly." The emperor blamed.

"Yes, yes, the slave will go and declare." Ming'an led the nurse into the hall, the nurse saluted, and the emperor strode up to the nurse and looked at the child lovingly, "Let me see the emperor's eldest grandson, Qi'er, Qi'er." The emperor stretched out his hand to tease him, and Qi'er shook his little head twice, not crying or making trouble.

"Like me, really like me, don't recognize life, bold." The emperor smiled and gradually retracted his smile, "It's just a little thinner, when Min Che was born, it was a big fat boy, Ming'an, do you remember?" ”

"Remember, of course the minions remember. The second prince was much stronger than the emperor's eldest grandson. ”

Yilin also felt pitiful when he saw the child, "After all, Mingyuexuan's conditions are not as good as the inner palace, so it is better for the father to raise the emperor's eldest grandson in the palace." ”

"That's what I mean." The emperor nodded.

"I'm afraid that the Second Emperor Brotherhood will be reluctant, and it is inevitable that they will ask to come and visit often." reminded the emperor that this would provide a good opportunity for Min Che to make a comeback.

"If they really love Qi'er, they must understand what to do for Qi'er's good."

"It seems that the father has a fixed number in his heart, which palace does the father think is suitable for the emperor's eldest grandson?"

"Manjuo." In a moment, the emperor had already made a decision, "Ming'an, you take the child to Mankuo Palace, Min Xuan and Yao Ying have been married for two years and have not seen any movement, and Min Xuan does not like to interact with the outside world, it is also quiet there, very good." The emperor nodded, very satisfied with his arrangement.

"Yes, the minion obeys."

"I picked a good nurse from the Inner Waiter Bureau, and I went to serve her well." The emperor didn't forget to advise.

Ming An answered and went out.

"What do you think of my father's arrangement?" The emperor was full of pride.

"Ingenious." Yilin exclaimed, "Erchen still thought that his father would arrange the emperor's eldest grandson in an inconspicuous small hall. ”

The emperor explained: "If you give Qi'er too much favor, it will inevitably increase Min Che's power invisibly, Min Che has been deposed, it is good to be able to live the rest of his life in peace, and I am afraid that giving him hope of a comeback will only harm him." If you snub Qi'er too much, regardless of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, you will say that I am ruthless, and give them the opportunity to write a letter in the name of sympathy for the emperor's eldest grandson to ask for preferential treatment of Min Che, and then I will not be allowed or not. ”

"Therefore, the sons thought that their father had given him a name to show his favor, and he would not give too many honors in the future."

"But with Minxuan, it's different. Min Xuan has long been unaware of political affairs, and now the former princelings support Min Che or not, nor do they support Min Xuan, which can be regarded as completely breaking their minds. Moreover, Yao Ying is dignified and virtuous, and she will definitely not treat Qi'er badly, so I am also relieved. The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father is really thoughtful." A secret self-contemplation. Yes, I can't keep a son after giving birth, it can be seen that Min Che has completely lost power, who will care about him. And Min Xuan, a person who can't even face up to his own flaws, if the ministers want to put the bet on him, it will take a lot of effort. Father, you have swept the obstacles so cleanly, do you really want to hand over the country to me, and do I really have to take over this important task as a daughter?

"They are all people who want to take on the heavy responsibility of the country, and they can't be strong." When I think of Cheng Zheng's words, I am very strong, I have always been strong, I will not let you down, you are the king of Xiang, I am the king, this is our agreement.

"Come here, pass the decree, three days later, I will have a banquet for the princes and nobles to celebrate the joy of the emperor's eldest grandson." After dealing with this matter, the stone in his heart also fell to the ground, and the emperor laughed heartily.

Three days later, the emperor gave a banquet in the Qing Xi Palace, and the emperor's relatives came to congratulate him. The old man just said a few words of congratulations, and said that he didn't like the noise of silk and bamboo, so he didn't attend the banquet. However, Menghan pestered Yuanxin and said that he wanted to go to the palace to see, and Yuanxin asked Menghan to pretend to be Yu'an's maid, and Yu'an readily agreed. After Meng Han came back from Huitingxuan, she changed into a maid's costume and looked forward to the palace happily under the service of Yuliu, and was overjoyed.

In the evening, Cheng Zheng, Yuanxin, and Yu'an entered the palace in carriages, and the eunuchs saluted and led them to the Qingxi Palace.

It was still early, Cheng Zheng thought that Yishan should not attend so early, so he went to Minghe Palace to pick up Yishan first, whether he wanted it or not, he still had to do face work, right?

Menghan was very restless behind Yu An, looking around from time to time, forgive her, at the moment she was more curious than afraid. The eunuch led them into the side hall to wait for the banquet, Yuanxin reminded Menghan to be honest, Menghan just responded with an "oh", and immediately came with interest, and stammered: "Yu'an, can you take me out for a walk?" Good view from outside. ”

Yu An picked up the teacup and set up a shelf: "This girl calls Miss by her name, is she tired of it?" ”

Meng Han immediately realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly covered his mouth, and when he saw that there was no one around, he was a little relieved, and changed his words, "Miss." ”

Yu An nodded in satisfaction.

"Miss, take me out for a walk, Miss is the best." Menghan probably never expected to have today, coquettish to a seventeen-year-old girl, who actually finished college at 21, or was she in her twenties, and she was cheeky and happy.

"Well, I haven't been here in the palace for years." Yu'an agreed.

"Don't wait too long." Yuanxin is a rare holding.

Yu An took Menghan to the Imperial Garden.

Cheng Zheng came to Minghe Palace, the palace maid replied that the second princess had gone to the Qingxi Palace, Cheng Zheng left, but saw that Yilin and Qingzhu were coming out of the Qinghe Palace, although the relationship between the two was a little embarrassing, but they couldn't hide it, Cheng Zheng stepped forward, "One coming." "The two of them never needed any politeness.

"You're picking up your sister?"

"Yes."

"Sister, she knew that you were coming, so she went to the Qingxi Hall early."

Cheng Zheng nodded: "I'll go with you." ”

Can you say no, both of them went to the Qingxi Palace, how can you say no? And I don't want to say no, it's good to be around you for a moment.

Yu An and Meng Han were playing in the Imperial Garden, and when they saw Cheng Zhenghe coming towards them, they went over to salute, "Yu An sees the eldest princess." Menghan followed behind Yu An, and also learned to salute, which made Cheng Zheng frown.

"Hurry up," he helped him with a graceful demeanor: "We played together when we were children, and we were polite when we didn't see each other for a few years." ”

Yu An also relaxed a lot when she heard about the old relationship, and got up with a smile and replied, "Thank you, Celestia." ”

"Come in, it's getting late." With a faint smile, the phoenix eyes swept by, and I didn't know if I was looking at Yu'an or Menghan.

Seeing Yilin and Cheng Zheng walking away, Menghan asked in a whisper behind him, "Is she the eldest princess?" ”

"yes."

Meng Han couldn't help but admire, "It's worthy of being a princess, so noble, so aura." But didn't your brother go to pick up the second princess, why did he come with the eldest princess? ”

Yu An pouted, "How do I know?" ”

"I heard that the eldest princess and the second princess are twins and look exactly the same, how do you know that the eldest princess next to your brother is the eldest princess?"

"I've been playing with Princess Celestia since I was a child, and I know it's her with my eyes closed." Yu An said proudly.

As soon as Lin and Cheng Zheng entered the Qingxi Palace, Yishan had already taken his seat, waiting boredly. Yishan saw Cheng Zheng and suddenly became cheerful, "Cheng Zheng, you are finally here." ”

Cheng Zheng sat down beside Yishan, "I went to Minghe Palace to pick you up, I didn't expect you to come so early." ”

"You're going to pick me up? I knew I was waiting for you, so you could run for nothing. Yishan said regretfully.

"It's fine."

Yishan smiled, and her eyes were full of happiness.
