King Guangping had just recovered from a long illness, and after working for half a day, he soon couldn't hold on. Gao Zhen settled his father and watched him fall into a deep sleep before leaving the room, ordering his attendants to wait carefully, and then turning to find his mother.

When he arrived at the courtyard where his mother Zhong lived, he heard her sobbing sadly in the house, and the eldest girl Huan Yanyun and her cronies Cao's mother were comforting her:

"Don't be sad, Princess, Your Highness will get better soon, and then the emperor will canonize His Royal Highness as the crown prince again. Among the other princes, which one is as good as our Highness? Even the four princes can't compare.

"The princess should be careful of her body, everything in the palace depends on you, if you also fall ill, when His Royal Highness is well and re-enters the East Palace, who can you expect to go to those complicated affairs?"

Gao Zhen frowned when he heard this, even his child's heart was very clear, his father's blindness was a foregone conclusion, if he insisted on staying on the throne of the prince, even if there was no fault or mistake, he would be driven down sooner or later, and now he took the initiative to resign early, but he could get the pity of the imperial grandfather, and the situation would be better in the future, and he could help the fourth emperor uncle to sit on the throne as soon as possible and stabilize the overall situation of the court. At this time, if you still have to think that after your father's condition improves, you will be able to return to normal and re-enter the East Palace, which will only cause trouble for yourself, and if you show your mouth in front of the Four Emperor Uncles, it will be easier to separate the brotherhood between your father and the Four Emperor Uncles. The big girl next to her mother, it stands to reason that she shouldn't be so stupid, why do she always say such things to her mother?

He walked into the house, and Yanxia, who had been standing on the side and kept silent, saw it and hurriedly saluted him: "Shizi." Yanyun and Cao's mother both raised their heads. Qi Qi's face was overjoyed: "The prince is here, come over and persuade the princess." ”

Zhong looked up from the table and did not look at his son, who was saluting. Instead, she turned her face away, lowered her head and gently wiped away her tears, and when she turned her head again, the tears on her face had been wiped away, except for her red and swollen eyes and the slightly red tip of her nose, there was nothing to prove that she had just cried.

She looked at her son with a very gentle gaze: "Coming? Playing with Brother Wei of the Zhao family today, is it still enjoyable? ”

Gao Zhen nodded. Under the signal of her gaze, she sat down on the round stool opposite the table: "Zhao Wei treats people kindly, and his speech is also interesting. still has an old friendship with the child, but after five years, the child has almost forgotten it, and some things need to be reminded by him to remember. ”

Zhong smiled: "It's no wonder. He fell overboard that year. I've been sick, and I didn't let you see him because I was afraid that you would be too sick. It's his sister Xiu'er, who has lived in the same room with you for ten or twenty days, just like a brother and sister, and you also taught her to write by hand. ”

Gao Zhen's face flushed slightly. His father had also mentioned this incident, but he didn't remember it well. Only Ying Ying remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, but it was Zhao Xiu's small appearance, what he just remembered what it looked like.

Yanxia took a basin towel to clean Zhong's hands, and also joked: "Shizi not only taught Miss Zhao to read and write, but also took Miss Zhao to see Zhao Gongzi when the slave maid was away. ”

Zhong cleaned his face and washed his hands under the service of Yanyun, and when he heard the words, he also remembered the original situation, pursed his lips and chuckled, and the sadness between his eyebrows disappeared a little. Seeing this, Cao's mother was relieved, so she withdrew with a smile and ordered someone to pour the tea again.

Unexpectedly, Yanyun listened to Yanxia's words, and his heart was not very strong, and he interjected: "The slave also remembers that the prince taught Miss Zhao to write and boxing at that time, and also said that Miss Zhong Jiabiao's knowledge is better than him, and she doesn't like boxing, so it is more interesting to teach Miss Zhao." The slave and maid were still laughing at the world, the girls of the Zhong family are all big girls, of course they can't punch like boys or anything. ”

Gao Zhen looked puzzled: "Is that so?" That's not what I said at the time, was it? ”

Yanyun was a little weak-hearted, but relying on Gao Zhen's fact that he had forgotten many things when he was a child, he forced himself to say: "Isn't that what you said?" Shizi must have forgotten about jì. ”

Yanxia glanced at Yanyun and didn't say anything.

However, Zhong remembered his niece because of Yanyun's words: "Yazhi hasn't been here for a few days, so I miss her." In the past, she often went to the East Palace to play with Zhen'er, but now that Her Royal Highness is sick, she has also become a big girl, and it is not good to come, and even her sister-in-law only occasionally comes to sit. ”

said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and Cao's mother came to report that Zhong's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhong, had arrived. Zhong thought she was bringing her niece, but when she met, she found that her niece didn't follow, so she couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "Why didn't you bring Yazhi?" I'm thinking about her. ”

Mrs. Zhong's face stiffened, and she said with a dry smile: "She occasionally felt a cold a few days ago, and she has not been well, how dare I take her out, I am afraid that she will be sick." ”

Gao Zhen had just finished saluting his aunt, and when he heard this, he glanced up at her, and then lowered his eyes silently.

Zhong didn't think much about it: "Why are you so careless?" In this hot weather, it can also be infected with wind chill, and it must be that ice is used a lot. You go back and tell her more, don't be greedy for cold because it's hot, the girl's family is not as good as others, if she is contaminated with more cold, she will suffer in the future. ”

Mrs. Zhong's face stiffened again: "It's just that the wind was accidentally blown, it's not that I used too much ice, I still know this taboo." She couldn't wait to change the topic: "My brother is getting taller and taller, and he looks like a little adult, and it is rare to be stable!" It's just that why did the princess lose weight again? Even if it's for the sake of ...... For the sake of His Royal Highness King Guangping, you must also take care of your health. ”

Zhong's expression darkened, and he sighed: "My sister-in-law knows about me, Your Highness is like this now, how can I not worry?" I am looking forward to the arrival of a miracle doctor every day, or if someone comes up with a good prescription that can cure our Highness's eyes as well as before, even if I am asked to reduce my life by ten years, I am willing. ”

Young Lady Zhong also sighed for a long time. What about Chung? Everyone in the Zhong family feels heartbroken, their aunt and grandmother are only one step away from their mother's world, but they will never be able to take this step, is there anything more embarrassing in the world?

Gao Zhen didn't want to hear his mother and aunt say such things again. Under the pretext of going back to the room to read, he got up and left. Zhong knew that her husband valued his son's homework, so of course he wouldn't stop him. If Mrs. Zhong is in the past. must have dragged Gao Zhen to talk for a long time before he was willing to let go, but today because of other important matters, he did not keep him, so Gao Zhen got out smoothly.

Young Lady Zhong hinted that the Zhong family retreated left and right, and then lowered her voice to explain the meaning of today's coming: "I really don't know how to tell you this, but I can't tell you if I don't tell you, I'm afraid that you will hear some rumors outside in the future." It will be a misunderstanding of the meaning of the family. ”

Zhong was very surprised: "What is the matter with my sister-in-law?" So solemn. ”

Mrs. Zhong lowered her voice again: "This is because the second uncle and the second aunt are confused, and they are thinking about it recently, waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to enter the palace to ask for peace." Let the second aunt bring the eldest daughter and go to ask for peace to Concubine Zhu Li. ”

Zhong was confused: "Why is this?" Zhu Lifei...... She is not the highest-ranking person in the harem, what do you do to ask her for peace? If you want to go, you should go to the lady lady, right? "Concubine Jiang Shu, the biological mother of King Guangping, is now the highest-ranking concubine in the harem. Taken by the Sixth Palace. The edicts all went to her when they entered the palace to say goodbye.

Mrs. Zhong saw that her sister-in-law didn't understand, so she had to say more clearly: "They have the idea of the six princes, and they think that their daughter may be able to compete for the position of the sixth princess......"

Zhong stood up suddenly, his face was pale and full of anger, and Young Lady Zhong hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, princess, this is because they are confused." With the official position of the second uncle, can Zhu Lifei and the sixth prince look down on his daughter? The lord and the lord persuaded them. They refused to listen, and the master was afraid that if he made a big fuss and let the outside know, it would make people gossip, so they could only let them go. I just hope that the princess can think of ideas and let them not be too embarrassed in the palace, which is the blessing of our Zhong family. ”

Zhong's anger gradually disappeared, if she was still living in the palace, this little thing was just a gesture, but now that she has moved out of the East Palace, she is no longer the crown princess, and if she wants to meddle in the affairs of the palace, she can only ask her mother-in-law Jiang Shufei to let Jiang Shufei know that someone in their Zhong family has a different heart? She must not do such a stupid thing!

She glanced at Young Mrs. Zhong with a calm face: "Since the second uncle and second aunt have this heart, let them go!" It's just that the sister-in-law remembered to remind them when she went back that the sixth prince was just a little doll of six or seven years old, and their daughter was only nine years old, so could she plan for marriage so early? But don't go to the end, lose your wife and break your soldiers, it's a joke! ”

Mrs. Zhong's heart sank, and she barely maintained a smile on her face: "What the princess said is true, the family thinks that they are confused, but they are just not good at scolding." ”

Zhong Shi stared at Mrs. Zhong: "It's good that my father and brother and sister-in-law know that the second uncle is confused, and the second uncle thinks that our Royal Highness has lost his position, so he wants to climb another high branch, but he doesn't want to think about it, he is already a close relative, and he still wants to go to Qin Duchu, what do you look like in the palace?" The people in Shilin looked at it, and they also despised the character of the second uncle. You know, our Royal Highness was not deposed for sin, the emperor is very distressed about our Royal Highness, if the emperor knows that His Royal Highness has been wronged in the Yue family, I don't know how angry he will be, then even my daughter-in-law will not be good, my father and eldest brother have to be cautious. ”

Mrs. Zhong was sweating all over her back, and she didn't care about whether her sister-in-law had seen something, and even claimed that it was, and said homely words with her for a while, so she left uneasily. When she walked out of the gate of Guangping Palace, she was still thinking, maybe her sister-in-law's words were right, now is not the time to consider making friends with other princes, who knows if the six princes can succeed? If not, what is the difference between marrying your daughter and your sister-in-law? On the contrary, he offended the king of Guangping, so let's wait and see first.

She didn't know that Zhong had also become vigilant after she left. Why did the second uncle suddenly have this idea? Obviously, it has been less than a month since the crown prince abdicated, and the emperor has not decided on the next prince, so it is still too early to stand in line. However, the second uncle said in the former Hanlin of the imperial court, although the official position is not high, but he is a close minister of the emperor, could it be that he noticed something from the emperor's daily words and deeds?

But...... How can it be? The Sixth Prince is still a little doll! If the emperor is in good health, he can still cultivate a satisfactory prince from an early age, but now his body is much weaker than before, although he rarely has serious illnesses on the surface, but the people in the palace know what is going on, how many years can he survive? How many adult princes don't stand and set up the smallest doll? The emperor could never be so confused!

But...... Zhu Lifei is now being favored, maybe the emperor was affected by the pillow wind and was confused, but it is not known......

Zhong was in a state of confusion for a while, and he didn't know whether to tell her husband about it. (To be continued......)
