Chapter 20

Lian'er was stunned, looked at Ah Xiu's angry face, it should be true, thought about it, walked to Ah Xiu's side and stroked her back, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile: "How can there be parents in the world who don't love their children?" The children of the heavenly family are naturally even more precious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The queen is the mother of the world, and naturally loves all the royal heirs of Her Majesty, and Your Majesty should be glad that her sister is such a dignified and dignified person. Why did the dispute come to such an end? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of anger and sat on the side. Lian'er said: "Besides, the abolition of the crown prince is a matter of shaking the country, and my sister is the mother of the country, and she has always been based on His Majesty's country, and she is categorically unwilling to shake the country because of her own selfishness." Your Majesty should not have broken her sister's heart because of this argument with her sister. ”

Ah Xiu was deeply relieved to see Lian'er Xiao's righteousness, and said: "From ancient times to the present, abolishing the elder and establishing the young is the way to take chaos: after Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Tan was abolished, Yuan Shang was established, and the bane of cannibalism was planted, which led to the division and contention of the ministers, and only then was Cao Thief took the opportunity to pacify Jizhou, and Yuan Tan was defeated and killed; Yuan Shang was defeated and fled to Liaodong, where he was killed by Gongsun Kang. After Liu Biao's death, Liu Qi was abolished and Liu Cong was established, and finally the Han family completely declined. Emperor Wen of Sui abolished Yang Yong, established Yang Guang, and Emperor Yang was poor and extravagant. ”

"Enough!" Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted impatiently, "What you said is all about a waste of sons and daughters, although they are both abolished and young, but how can they be compared with our children?" Ah Xiu sighed: "Your Majesty loves your young son, and I am naturally happier than anyone else." But Biao'er is loyal and diligent, treats his brothers and teachers extremely leniently and respectfully, and his literary and martial arts are not inferior to any of his peers and nephews. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang finally dissipated his anger slightly: "Biao'er is good, but how can the queen be sure that our sister-in-law is not as good as Biao'er?" Ah Xiu sat down while pulling Lian'er, and replied: "The child in the womb is unknown to men and women, even if it is a prince, if you want to see the difference, it will take more than ten years to compare, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, why not wait for time, you have to be in a hurry?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite useful for Ah Xiu's retreat, and finally nodded: "In this case, according to what the queen said, but if the concubine is better than Biao'er in the future, the queen should not prevent me from setting up another prince." Ah Xiu also nodded: "If the coming day is really as His Majesty said, the concubine will definitely not stop it." ”

Outside, Zhao Cheng came in and whispered a few words to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and waved him out, and said to Ah Xiu: "In this case, I still have official business to deal with, since Concubine Ning, since you are here, sit with her and persuade her, don't always refuse to give in like this." Lian'er bowed with low eyebrows, and Zhu Yuanzhang hurried away.

Ah Xiu got up to the door, stared at his back and went west, and turned around to come in. Lian'er asked Su Xin: "How many months is my sister pregnant?" Su Xin replied respectfully: "It's been nearly two months." I couldn't eat today, thinking it was the summer heat, but Mr. Dai came to check the pulse and found out. ”

Lian'er nodded: "You have to serve more wholeheartedly, my sister is weak, and she has almost been emptied of trivial matters over the years, so you must take care of it well, and you must not let your sister work hard by temperament." Su Xin responded with a smile. Ah Xiu lazily leaned to the side, Ying'er handed her tea, and she didn't take it, but only let it be put on a few.

"My sister is so depressed, it's not good for the imperial heir in the womb, since Your Majesty is gone, my sister should take this page over and don't take it to heart." As he spoke, he took out a purse from his bosom, took out two dried plums and handed them to Ah Xiu, "Sister, try this, eat a shengjin to quench your thirst in this weather, and you can also dispel your annoyance." ”

Ah Xiu picked one up and put it in her mouth, and Lian'er put the other into her mouth. Ah Xiu smiled with a smile: "This plum tastes excellent, no wonder you hide it in your purse." Lian'er also smiled: "If my sister likes it, I'll send you a can another day, what's the matter." ”

"Then I'll wait to eat." Ah Xiu smiled. Only then did Lian'er continue to persuade her: "Your Majesty loves her sister, and she loves Wu and Wu, so she cares so much about the sister-in-law in her womb." My sister is in a hurry to obey the power, it is not appropriate to argue like this, not to mention the hurt harmony, but also provoke the palace people to discuss, and suffer after all. ”

"If I only act for my own merits and disadvantages, I will naturally be much more leisurely, and I will have a more sacred heart, but all the people of the world, even Your Majesty, will be hurt by rumors, who will be spared? Your Majesty is a generation of holy lords, if the people are criticized by the people because of the prince's affairs, and the courtiers are separated, is it not the fault of me, the queen. ”

"My sister is too obsessed with the overall situation and offends the king, what good will it do for herself? It is a good thing to have the ability to be pregnant, and the harmony between the emperor and the queen is also a fortunate thing in the palace, but now because of pregnancy, he is out of harmony with His Majesty, although he is virtuous but not beneficial to himself. Lian'er handed over another dried plum.

Ah Xiu was silent, and Lian'er started to talk differently: "The osmanthus flowers in the basket outside taste refreshing, do you want to make osmanthus wine again?" I'm going to get a jar this year! Ah Xiu smiled: "Isn't it a waste to only make osmanthus wine?" My sister gave me dried plums, how about I send my sister osmanthus glutinous rice lotus? ”

"It's good, but my sister is pregnant now, and osmanthus wine is fine, and things like osmanthus glutinous rice lotus are labor-intensive and time-consuming, so let's eat them again next year." Lian'er smiled. "Suxin, go and get some soaked glutinous rice, choose a few sections of lotus root, and take out a bowl of osmanthus in the basket." Ah Xiu shook his head and insisted on ordering Su Xin.

Ah Xiu suddenly remembered something: "Yizhen lives in the southeast of you, and the people who go to her palace will definitely pass by your palace and send someone to watch carefully, and then someone from the palace in the west will go over and tell me carefully." ”

"Don't talk about Yizhen, now there are only Tianying and Qiuqin left in the west, didn't my sister hear any rumors?" Lian'er should go down, but mention the west. Ah Xiu raised her eyebrows slightly: "What did you hear?" Let's talk about it. These few people in my palace are all stuffy gourds, and they never tell me anything. ”

Tianying has been crying in the palace recently, as if it was because Concubine An once beat Tianying's room to look for books, and gave Tianying no face in public. is also a concubine, in the final analysis, Tianying is an old person after all, although An Concubine's position is slightly higher than her, she should not be so undeep. Lian'er sighed.

"The newcomers are naturally in the limelight, but Your Majesty is not a person who does not miss the old. Today, His Majesty and Cheng Huan passed by Changchun Palace, and Cheng Huan also said that he heard someone crying inside. Ah Xiu touched the tea on the table, Ying'er would take it and pour the tea again, Ah Xiu said: "It is a crime of disrespect to make a loud noise in the palace, but Your Majesty stopped and listened, not only did he blame, but also went in and sat for a long time, which shows that His Majesty has not forgotten the old feelings." ”

"Having said that, she was tired of killing her sister that day, and Her Majesty will still have a bad heart in the end." Lian'er asked in surprise. "Then we have to wait and see what happens, our majesty, the original mind is very unpredictable." Ah Xiu smiled noncommittally. (To be continued.) )
