Back in Hanzhang Courtyard, there were two large camphor wood boxes in the center of the courtyard. Zhuang Minhua asked people to open it and take a look, in addition to a box of medicinal materials, there was also a box of ancient paintings. Zhuang Minhua ordered some medicinal herbs and ordered, "Send these two branches of ginseng and this box of cordyceps to the concubine." ”

There was also a small box in the box containing treasures, Zhuang Minhua asked people to take it out, and when they opened it, there was a set of jade heads.

The eldest princess was sincere, Zhuang Minhua closed the small box and handed it to Biqing, "Put it away!" You take an inventory of these things, put them in a book, and put them in the storeroom. ”

After reading the things sent by the eldest princess's mansion in Guangde, Zhuang Minhua returned to the room and removed the hairpin ring. While letting Orange give her a scalp, she listened to her say the gossip she heard today. Listening to all kinds of gossip, Zhuang Minhua suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to see Princess Leyang in Baihuayuan today!

Ci'an Palace

Princess Leyang, whom Zhuang Minhua didn't see today, was sleeping on the Huanghuali shelf bed with a golden red tent at this time, and she was sick.

The Queen Mother sat on the edge of the bed, holding Leyang's little hand, and whispered to Concubine Yu, "How do you do you?" said that he missed Qing'er, and took him back to your palace to live for a few days. You're sick for this stay, you can do it. Didn't I say you, you can't even take care of a little girl, those palace maids and grandmothers are all dead? According to me, the servants who serve should each be rewarded with thirty boards for a long memory. It's just that you said that it's not good for you to see blood when you eat fasting and chanting Buddha now, so I spared them this time, and there will be no next time. Look at Qing'er's little face, she has lost weight. "Princess Leyang's real name is Meng Qing.

The Queen Mother looked at Princess Leyang's pale cheeks distressedly, thinking about Qing'er's ruddy little face in the past. The fire in my heart came out again. "If you don't know how to take care of people, don't meddle in Qing'er's affairs in the future." After speaking, put Princess Leyang's little hand into the quilt and tuck the quilt corners.

Concubine Yu listened at first, but she didn't let her care about Leyang anymore, did this mean that she was not allowed to raise Leyang? Concubine Yu suddenly panicked, now that she has such a daughter by her side, how can she be willing to give it, she hurriedly cried and begged: "Queen Mother, the concubine knows that she is wrong." I beg the Queen Mother not to separate our mother and daughter. ”

"Cry for what. What should I do if I wake up Qing'er? Come out with me. The Queen Mother got up and went to the front hall, and Concubine Yu followed behind her, only daring to cry silently, and not daring to make a sound.

The Queen Mother thought to herself as she walked. "This time of year. Qing'er is the most active in the Hundred Gardens. Don't look at Qing'er's naughty weekdays. But the projects that show their talents at the flower party. For Qing'er, getting on top is like picking up something. I can't go when I'm sick this time, so I'll get better when Qing'er gets better. I'm afraid I'm so annoyed that I'm going to cry. Thinking of her granddaughter pouting and coquettishly playing with her, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing. That's it, for Qing'er's sake, I'll put Concubine Yu again.

Sitting on the couch in the front hall, the Queen Mother looked impatiently at Concubine Yu's bitter face, she had been reading the scriptures for so many years, and she still hadn't grown up. If it weren't for Qing'er, she wouldn't want to deal with her. The Queen Mother waved her hand to let Concubine Yu go down, "You recite your scriptures, Qing'er is fine in Ci'an Palace!" When she's well, you come and pick her up. ”

This is not to deprive her of custody, Concubine Yu quickly wiped away her tears and said a few auspicious words. In the Queen Mother's increasingly impatient face, she reluctantly reluctantly retired.

When Concubine Yu's back disappeared, the Queen Mother asked Mama Jiang, "What will happen to the flowers over there in Guangde?" I vaguely remember that at this time of year, the manuscript of the poem of the Hundred Flowers Society should be presented. ”

Mama Jiang said: "I think it's snowing heavily now, and the road is not good, so it's delayed."

As he was talking, Gonggong Qiu came in with some blank paper and knelt in front of the hall, "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the poem manuscript of the Hundred Flowers Society has arrived." ”

The Queen Mother was happy, "It seems that you are still clear." ”

The palace maid Liu Er took the poem and read it to the Queen Mother as in the past, her voice was soft as water, and it sounded very comfortable.

Thinking about the emperor and coming in, Liu Er hurriedly stopped and saluted the emperor with everyone.

Emperor Zhaoyuan excused himself and asked the Queen Mother for peace.

The Queen Mother let him sit, "Why is the emperor here at this time?" ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled, "After approving the excerpts, come over and talk to your mother." Emperor Zhaoyuan sat down generously, and turned his eyes to see the poem manuscript in Liu Er's hand, "Are you listening to the poem manuscript of the Hundred Flowers Society?" Keep reading, and I'll listen to it too. ”

Liu Er's cheeks immediately turned red when she heard this, and under the instructions of the Queen Mother, she continued to read the poem, and her voice was like spring water with honey, which was even sweeter.

Emperor Zhaoyuan felt comfortable in his ears and glanced at Liu Er. didn't say much, but commented on these poems with the Queen Mother. This one is too flattering, that one is too rough. When I heard the sentence "Good wind frequently borrows strength, send me to the clouds." At that time, Emperor Zhaoyuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise, "It's kind-hearted, do you know who wrote it?" ”

Liu Er's eyes darkened, and she looked at the signature, and her lips opened slightly, and she read out the name. "Li Wenxiu, the eldest daughter of Li Fan, the eldest daughter of the prince of the country."

The Queen Mother was a little displeased, "It's not the heart that a woman in IKEA and IKEA should have." Listen to this sentence "send me to Qingyun", his ambition is obvious, and he is not restful in the room, and he is really from a small family, and he is not strict enough to be self-controlled. It's good that this woman marries into the people, but if she is included in the royal family, it is easy to cause chaos. The Emperor remembers. ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled, "I have a different opinion. ”

The Queen Mother asked, "What do you say?"

Emperor Zhaoyuan said: "If she is really ambitious, it is better to be included in the harem and watch it under her nose." No matter how much you jump, it's just a woman, how can you set off any waves? ”

The Queen Mother did not have a good impression of this Miss Li. But he has a very good impression of this Miss Li, because the optimism and open-mindedness expressed in her poem are very much in line with his heart.

And he only has about one year to live, and he is not as good as he wants, isn't he sorry for himself? As for the ambition mentioned by the Queen Mother, as long as he includes Li Wenxiu in the palace, after his death, what storm can Li Wenxiu set off as a concubine?

He accepted Li Wenxiu into the palace, and the Queen Mother would definitely oppose it, so it was better to cut it first and then play it; At that time, Li Wenxiu will be her person, and the Queen Mother can only help him watch it, so that Li Wenxiu's chance of making waves is even smaller. As for his physical condition, it is not time to tell the Queen Mother.

Poor Li Wenxiu really doesn't have that kind of thought, but the poems that need to be open-minded for a while are distorted like this by the mother and son of the heavenly family. As a result, he had to spend the rest of his life in the palace walls, and it can only be said that time is also fate. She was laughing with her sisters, laughing innocently, not knowing that she was going to face such a fate.

Although there were outstanding poems in the future, the emperor was no longer amazed. So the ranking was evaluated, in the end, because the Queen Mother didn't like it, and the emperor wouldn't let the Queen Mother dislike it in this regard, Li Wenxiu fell off the list. Emperor Zhaoyuan and the Queen Mother rewarded something again, and sent someone to send it to the eldest princess of Guangde.

The Queen Mother sent everyone down and asked Emperor Zhaoyuan, "You are busy with government affairs, and it is not easy to find time to accompany your wife to read the poems." Go ahead! What's the problem? ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled: "Can't you come over to accompany your mother if you have nothing to do?"

The Queen Mother said: "You are my son, and the mourning family still doesn't know you?"

Emperor Zhaoyuan was no longer verbose, and said, "Queen Mother, this time I came over to ask the Queen Mother about the prince."

The Queen Mother was stunned, "Aren't you unwilling to make a prince so early?" How? Do you already have a candidate in mind? ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan said: "King Chen is arrogant and lascivious, and has done nothing; The king of Jin was loyal and honest, too restrained; King Han has both civil and military skills, virtuous and humble, and King Min attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but his mind is too simple. ”

After counting the advantages and disadvantages of several sons, the Queen Mother knew it as soon as she heard it.

"So you mean King Lihan?" The Queen Mother's eyes closed slightly, but when she opened her eyes again, she was full of light, "What about the five princes?" He's a prince. ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan sighed, "The fifth prince is too small, and the power has not been formed, even if he has the support of his mother's family, he can't compete with his brothers who have been adults for many years, and King Han still has the brother of King Min." ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a while, "King Han is neither a concubine nor a chief, what reason did you make him the crown prince?" ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan said: "I want to record the King of Han in the name of the queen and use it as a concubine, so that the name is justified."

"So, will the Empress agree? It's not that she doesn't have a son, according to the rules of her ancestors, her son is the future prince. You have recorded the king of Han in her name, and you are not her own flesh and blood. And King Han is an adult, and his relationship with Concubine Zheng Guifei is very good. Can the queen agree? ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan pleaded: "I have to ask the queen mother to bother more about this matter."

The queen looked tired, "You are my son, I am naturally on your side." Since you belong to the King of Han, I have to do my best with this old bone. It's just that I'm uneasy! ”

The conversation between mother and son came to an end, and they did not notice that a petite figure was eavesdropping on them at the doorway of the inner chamber.

Princess Leyang held her pounding chest, did her father want to make the third emperor brother the crown prince?

Thinking of the second emperor brother who was very good to her, she was a little hesitant to tell the second emperor brother. However, the second emperor brother didn't want to fight for the throne, so it shouldn't matter if he wanted to tell him, right? Just let him keep it a secret.

Princess Leyang made up her mind and quietly went back to the inner room to rest.

After Emperor Zhaoyuan left, the Queen Mother was stunned for a while before she instructed Mama Jiang, "Go and invite the queen to come." ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei paced back and forth in the hall, asking from time to time, "Has the emperor come over?" Until she heard Emperor Zhaoyuan coming, she hurried up to meet her.

Zheng Guifei shouted like an ordinary husband and wife, "San Lang, are you back?" Emperor Zhaoyuan showed a gentle smile in his eyes when he heard this, and the two entered the main hall and sat on the couch. Concubine Zheng Guifei commanded the palace maids to serve refreshments, and personally fed them to Emperor Zhaoyuan.

The two were tender and sweet for a while, and Concubine Zheng asked, "San Lang, what did the Queen Mother say?" Did she say yes? ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan lazily leaned on the pillow, "I agreed, when Jiang Er is recorded in the queen's name, I will appoint him as the crown prince." (To be continued......)
