The one hundred and sixty-fourth

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in the twenty-second year of Linde, a palace banquet was set up in the palace to feast the courtiers. After having a good time with the ministers, Emperor Lin De went to the inner hall to attend the royal family banquet.

There were a few people sitting in the inner hall, and compared with the bustling outer hall full of ministers, it suddenly seemed a little empty and deserted.

Emperor Lin De looked at his two nephews, the only two men in the Great Qin royal family besides him, one was so sick that he coughed repeatedly, and the other was full of energy, but he was born a child who couldn't have children.

Seeing that he is getting old day by day, his energy is declining day by day, and he is becoming more and more powerless, but there is no successor to the throne, if this is the punishment and retribution given to him by God, he is at ease, because this is what he deserves. What he was worried about was that if he had no successor to the Great Qin because of his own retribution, and the country died in internal and external troubles, then he would be a sinner of the Great Qin Dynasty through the ages.

In any case, the Great Qin royal family must have an heir born as soon as possible! Min'er's body has to continue to recuperate, and as for Fei'er, he has to send a few more imperial doctors to see him, if his hidden disease can be cured, why should he worry about having no successor.

He looked at the vacant seat beside Qin Fei and couldn't help frowning, "Fei'er, could it be that you entered the palace alone today, Princess Zhou and Concubine Jin?" ”

"My cousin's strange illness hasn't healed yet, and she did it again a few days ago, how dare my nephew bring her."

"What about Princess Zhou? She is your concubine, on such a big day as Chinese New Year's Eve, you will leave her alone in the royal mansion? ”

Qin Fei was surprised: "How could the Zhou family be in the palace? Uncle Mo Fei didn't know that Zhou was also sick and was sent by me to her dowry Zhuangzi to recuperate. ”

Although he knew that Qin Min must have known the news a long time ago, his eyes still couldn't help but glance at him, and seeing that Qin Min's expression really didn't fluctuate at all, he was still at ease, so he despised him again in his heart.

Emperor Lin De said unhappily: "How can you be so decent, even the Zhou family is sick?" You tell me the truth, what's going on with Zhou's disease, don't be angry with you, right? ”

Qin Fei immediately shouted injustice, "Her illness is obviously caused by Concubine Jin, why is my uncle to blame me." When Cousin Jin fell ill that time, Zhou was also in her room, and when she saw the disgusting scene, she was very frightened, and since then she has suffered from the strange disease of vomiting for no reason. If the uncle doesn't believe it, ask the imperial concubine Niangniang, the last time I took her into the palace, she also vomited the tea given by the imperial concubine because of this illness, which offended the imperial concubine! ”

Sun Xuemei saw Emperor Lin De turn her head to look at herself, so she smiled coquettishly: "The last time Princess Zhou entered the palace, she did commit an illness in front of her concubine, which is also excusable, not to mention any offense. ”

Emperor Lin De nodded and continued to train his nephew, "Since the Zhou family is sick, it's okay if you didn't let her enter the palace, but why didn't you leave her in the palace to recuperate, but instead sent her to the Zhuangzi to marry her, you have gone too far, what do you think in the eyes of others?" ”

Qin Fei said helplessly: "My nephew can't help it, Zhou's disease is always not good when I ask a doctor for medicine, and later it was Dr. Miao who said that she might change places to live for this disease, so that she could not easily remember the scene of Jin's illness that day, and maybe it could be cured slowly." That Jin is my mother's own niece and nephew, how dare I move her, so I can only wronged the Zhou family to go to her dowry Zhuangzi to live for a while. ”

Emperor Lin De glanced at his mother, no one could understand his nephew's helplessness at this time better than him, so he slowed down his tone, "I understand your helplessness, but after all, the Zhou family is your concubine, and her father has contributed to the country, leaving her only an orphan girl, you must not treat her badly, you must give her enough respect and decency." ”

Qin Fei grinned, "This nephew knows it, although she moved out of the palace to live, but when she is used for daily worship, the nephew has never been short of her, I just went to see her yesterday, she lived very comfortably in that Zhuangzi, and her life was very comfortable!" ”

Concubine Sun Huang picked up the golden cup, brought it to her lips and took a sip, with a smug smile on her lips. This Fei'er is lying and deceiving people again, he was obviously fighting cocks and lackeys yesterday, drinking flower wine in the Jinchun courtyard, where did he go to the suburbs to see his princess?

It can be seen that in the palace before, he cared about all kinds of thoughtfulness of the Zhou family just for himself, and he only showed a little displeasure, and he drove the Zhou family out of the palace. When she thought that after all these years, she was still the unique sister in his heart, and she felt extremely happy.

However, it's no wonder, who made her the first beauty in the capital, a natural stunner, as long as it was a man she fancied, who could escape her palm? Even Emperor Lin De, who has always hated the daughter of the Sun family the most and has read countless beauties, was taken down by her, not to mention Qin Fei, a hairy boy.

Sun Xuemei was proud of her unparalleled charm, but she didn't know that Qin Fei was telling the truth this time, how could she find out the true whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Linchuan with those wine bags and rice bags she sent over. These days, he has quietly slipped to the small courtyard where Cai Wei lives several times, and saw that his daughter-in-law eats and sleeps well all day long, and the life is very moist, although this is due to his arrangement, but he still sees that he is very depressed in his heart.

Seeing that he wanted to stay in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve to keep the New Year, and had no time to sneak out to see his daughter-in-law, Qin Fei planned to go again the next day, not wanting to go again the next day, because many places have not been very peaceful recently, he secretly has a lot more things to do, and he can't squeeze out for more than ten days.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he glanced at the secret letter files that were still piled up on the bookcase, sighed, hesitated slightly, pushed them aside, got up and walked out of the secret room, and touched Cai Wei's courtyard again in the night, and the familiar ones began to peep again.

He stayed outside with a cold wind blowing, but his princess sat comfortably on the kang in the house, thinking that the dragon was burning enough, and the room was as warm as spring, she only wore a goose-yellow jacket, her cheeks were pink and lush, and the color was excellent.

How did these people in the house know that His Royal Highness the dignified county king was drinking the northwest wind outside the window at this time, and they sat around the kang together, eating, drinking and having fun, and they didn't know how happy they were. The two little girls, loquat and banana, toasted a glass of wine with their girls and said: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the slaves and maids wish the girl a smile and a reunion with us every year!" ”

Xiangcheng also said: "Yes, in the past few years since I returned to the capital, I have had the most comfortable time this year, but unfortunately I can't go out to watch the lights today, otherwise it will be really perfect!" ”

"I also think that this year's festival is the most enjoyable, if only we could celebrate the New Year quietly in this courtyard every year in the future, it would be much better than spending the New Year in the Bofu and Wangfu!" Gan Tang said this sentence desperately.

Sure enough, she was poked on her forehead by Mama Guo's finger, "You girl, dare to drink too much yellow soup, and you are full of nonsense!" What does it mean to spend every year in this courtyard, do you want the girl to never return to the palace for the rest of her life? ”

"Even if my uncle is out of tune, but since the girl is married to him, she is still the mistress of Linchuan Palace, so why do you live outside all the time. During the previous Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, the girl did not enter the palace, this time it can be said that she is sick and cannot enter the palace, if it is like this next year, the year after next, then the girl's identity as Princess Linchuan is just a false name, what does this make others think? According to me, the girl still has to go back to the palace to live, and it is only right that she can live well with the prince, and she can't give the palace to the second concubine Jin to monopolize it. ”

Hearing this, Qin Fei couldn't help nodding outside the window, and felt that although this old lady was not very smart, her insight was excellent.

Cai Wei didn't think so, she smiled: "Mom is too sorry for me!" What if she was monopolized? Anyway, the king of Linchuan can't let her give birth to a son, a concubine without a son, no matter how it is, it won't cross my head. ”

She naturally knew that it was not such a simple matter, but in order to avoid her nurse's worries, and even more to save her own ears, she deliberately said that her nurse's worries were not worth mentioning.

Mama Guo nodded, "The girl is right, if that's the case, I don't think it's a bad thing that the prince can't have children, so he is a woman who spoils a lot, as long as he can't give birth to a son, he won't shake the position of our girl's concubine, and he will inherit an heir in the future, and it will definitely be recorded in the name of the concubine." Otherwise, if the concubine is allowed to have a son, the girl will ......, alas, although this is good, it is a pity that the girl cannot have her own children! ”

Qin Fei suddenly felt that the old woman's previous knowledge had been eaten by the dog, he glared at Cai Wei, who was smiling happily, and while grinding his teeth, he secretly said in his heart: "You dare to talk about your husband like this behind your back, what do you mean that you can't give birth to a son anyway?" Hmph, when the time comes to turn back, see that this king will not let you give birth to seventeen or eighteen sons, and this king will not be surnamed Qin! ”

I don't know if it's because his teeth grinding is too loud, or the resentment in his eyes is too strong, Cai Wei faintly felt that something was wrong, so she laughed with everyone a few more words and asked them to rest earlier.

As soon as Qin Fei waited for Cai Wei to be the only one left in the room, he quickly climbed in through the window.
