"Huh? Concubine Qing sent the female official to the old mansion of the Lin Pavilion to apply for the girl of the Wu family? Concubine Qi of Enhua Palace was sitting on the kang and watching Xiao Honglan, the fourth son of the emperor, who was only three years old, playing, and when she heard someone say this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Is she crazy?" ”

As he was talking, there was a loud report outside: "The Third Highness has arrived." ”

Xiao Honglan grinned: "The third brother is here!" He jumped up from the kang, climbed down the kang, and didn't wear shoes, and as soon as His Royal Highness Xiao Hongqing walked in the door, a small figure rushed over like a cannonball, hit his legs, hugged his legs, and looked up just laughing.

Xiao Hongqing picked him up, and when he saw that he was not wearing shoes, he skillfully changed to hug, Xiao Honglan opened his short fat arms around his neck, and his soft body was lying in his arms.

It's strange to say, in the golden branches and jade leaves in the palace, Xiao Hongqing looks like the one that is the most difficult to get close to, as sharp as a war knife, killing cold, these little guys in the palace, all of them are willing to get close to him, and the younger brother Xiao Honglan of the same mother will not talk about it, it is the fourth princess from Concubine Qing, the fifth prince from Concubine Xi, the fifth princess from Concubine Duan, the sixth prince from Concubine Ning, the sixth princess from Concubine Hui, and the seventh princess from Liu Zhaoyi are also willing to get close to him.

Of course, Concubine Qi wanted them to be close to their brothers, and when she saw Xiao Hongqing coming over with Xiao Honglan in her arms, she hurriedly asked him to sit down and asked someone to serve tea: "This tea is a holy reward, you drink a cup, and these two snacks, you can taste it." ”

Xiao Hongqing saw his mother's henchman Ling Yi standing respectfully in front of the kang, and he already knew the Tao in his heart, but he just asked, "How many days is my mother doing?" In this rainy season, it is the most cold and hot, and the mother and younger brother have to be careful to change their clothes. ”

Concubine Qi smiled: "I know the Tao, you also pay attention to it." I just heard about a new Wen'er, the young lady from Deqing Palace who sent someone to the old mansion of Lin Ge to apply for the Wu family. ”

Xiao Hongqing wanted to put his younger brother on the kang, but Xiao Honglan didn't want to come down because of him, so he had to hold the little guy and pick up half a piece of preserved peach for him to hold the teeth.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Concubine Qi smiled and said, "I think that most of that person is crazy, at such a critical time, she doesn't know how to woo Lin Ge Lao, but in order to take a breath of leisure, she pushes her hands out, and she doesn't know what to think." ”

Xiao Hongqing still refused to answer, and Concubine Qi said tentatively: "I know about this, but Miss Wu turned her foot when she was walking, she didn't stand firmly, she happened to be close to the water, and she wet her skirt, but the young lady of Dingzhong's uncle's family, most of them were suspicious of the cousins, but she took the opportunity to say that it was her cousin who pushed Miss Wu Family, and Miss Wu Family actually had nothing to do with it. Although everyone knows that Miss Wu was wronged, in the end, her reputation has been damaged. I saw when the young lady entered the palace, although it was not a first-class appearance, it was considered to be middle-class, and her demeanor was also demure, I thought, at this time, I went to ask the saint and gave you to be a side concubine, one, the Wu family is also a family in Jiangnan, quite a few foundations, and second, Lin Ge Lao also has to accept this feeling, isn't it the best of both worlds? Do you like it? ”

Xiao Hongqing sat up straight and replied quickly: "Not good." ”

Concubine Qi didn't expect him to answer so happily and so categorically, she was surprised for a while, Xiao Hongqing glanced at Ling Yi from the corner of her eyes, Ling Yi only felt that Xiao Hongqing's glance was like a knife, and she couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart, she didn't dare to say a word, and retreated respectfully.

Xiao Hongqing then said: "Mother, the son knows what you mean, but the son thinks that the marriage is a sign of sincerity, and there is sincerity before it is expressed, under the rule of the Holy Son, only the daughter of Shangshu is the concubine, and there is no father of the concubine as the Shangshu, just like in the harem, because of the birth of the prince and the concubine is rewarded with the throne, not because of the concubine and the crown of the prince, the mother has put the cart before the horse." ”

Concubine Qi couldn't come back to her senses, and Xiao Hongqing didn't say more, but Concubine Qi was also the eldest daughter of the big clan in the end, and after groaning, she nodded and sighed: "It's that I want to fork, what you said is that if the Wu family Lin family doesn't have this mind, even if the Wu family girl and you are concubines, it's just a matter of giving up a daughter, and it's not the same as the family foundation. ”

There may be many foundations for the big clan to stand on, and the good □□ is also one of them, but the premise should be that both parties have the intention to get married, not because they are married.

Xiao Hongqing said: "Mother is an understanding person, so naturally there is no need for her son to say more, but since my mother said this matter today, my son has to say more, Concubine Qing's move may have its own deep meaning, and we should not intervene." ”

Suddenly, Concubine Qi felt that her son seemed to have grown up, like a sword showing its edge, although it was only a flash of brilliance, but it was indeed different.

She said, "You mean ......."

Xiao Hongqing touched Xiao Honglan's hairy head in his arms, and said to Concubine Qi: "Mother has been in the palace for many years, although she is not a favorite crown of the six palaces, but she has two princes, and Guo is backed by the Guo family, she is noble and glorious in the palace, no one dares to underestimate it, and after a hundred years of the father's emperor in the future, the son will be crowned king, and the mother will go out of the palace to the son's palace to be raised, and the son and daughter-in-law will naturally be filial to the mother until the mother drives the crane, such a noble life, is the mother willing?" ”

They had never talked about such an in-depth topic between their mother and son, and at this time, they were picked up by Xiao Hong's knife, and Concubine Qi was suddenly shocked, and she was speechless for a long time.

After a while, Xiao Hongqing continued: "Mother's mind, the son does not know the Tao, that is, because he knows the Tao, he is afraid that the mother will not understand for a while, and do something to annoy the father." The son is the prince, and it is common for the mother to want the son to go further, but there is a saying, only by cherishing the blessing is blessed, some things, if you force it, it will be a disaster, mother, think about it. ”

Concubine Qi is a person who thinks slowly, but because she is slow, she thinks more carefully, she looked at her youngest son's chubby round face a little dazed, he firmly grasped one of Xiao Hongqing's fingers with one little fat hand, and grabbed a piece of preserved peach with the other hand, eating attentively.

After a long time, she slowly said, "Have you figured it out?" ”

This is indeed a very difficult and important decision, but Xiao Hongqing replied quickly: "Yes, I think very clearly. ”

Concubine Qi was waiting for him to say.

Xiao Hongqing said: "The son entered the military camp at the age of twelve, the son is still martial, and he will probably be able to lead the army in the future, but if the world is clear, especially the way of employing people, it is not the son's strength, regardless of these, even the holy family in the heart of the father, just say that the eldest brother went down to Jiangnan with Uncle Cheng Wang, only thirteen years old, he has already cleaned up the salt administration clearly, if it is not for Uncle Cheng Wang's intention to assist, I can't do it, the eldest brother is such a means, the son thinks that he can't compare, and now the black cavalry guard has been used by the eldest brother, Uncle Cheng Wang, Jing and the eldest princess's mansion have already shown their flags, and they are the father and emperor......"

He said: "On my son's birthday in the old year, my father specially invited me to have a secret talk. ”

What is the secret talk, Concubine Qi doesn't have to ask, looking at her son's attitude, the saint thinks that there is a hint, Xiao Hongqing said: "Father intends to hand over the Black Cavalry Guard and the Supervision Department to me in the future." ”

The Black Cavalry Guard is the trump card in the hands of Commander Shen, and the Supervision Division is where King Cheng's power lies, looking at the current 'First Brother' and Commander Shen's status in the empire, a big stone in Concubine Qi's heart finally fell to the ground, and suddenly became relaxed.

"You've grown up." Concubine Qi said: "What I want to see most as a mother is that you are safe in my life, you now have your own ideas, and I don't force you, you only have to be careful in everything." ”

Xiao Hongqing said: "Mother just take care of peace of mind, just ignore the affairs of Concubine Qing's mother, no matter who has an accident in this palace, who is in power, it will not affect my mother." ”

Concubine Qi really didn't ask any more.

Xiao Hongqing stayed in Concubine Qi's palace and had dinner before leaving, when he left, Xiao Honglan hugged his legs, refused to let go, cried wow, persuaded for a long time, and finally was able to get out.

Walking out of Enhua Palace, Xie Zheng, a personal guard, stepped forward and whispered: "Before, the second master went to Deqing Palace to ask for peace, and there seemed to be some disputes, and there were a lot of things in the palace. ”

The mother of this pit son...... Xiao Hongqing said: "You tell Li Rong and Li He, you have to be more and more vigilant these days, but don't take it lightly, if Wei Meiren is only punished a little, you don't need to take action, if it's powerful, you will shoot." ”

Li Rong and Li He are two sisters who are now ordered to protect Wei Meiren.

This is also a chess piece placed by the eldest prince, Wei Meiren fainted in the New Year, intending to provoke the dissatisfaction of the saint with Concubine Qi, this hand pleases Concubine Qing, although there is no movement on the saint, Wei Meiren's name is also valid, and often goes to Deqing Palace to ask for peace, hand over some of Concubine Qi's movements, slowly, Concubine Qing took Wei Meiren by herself.

This time, Concubine Qing took Wu Yuehua as a fight, which was a successful provocation and offer by Wei Meiren.

Therefore, after Concubine Qing and the second prince quarreled, they came back to their senses and took out their anger at Wei Meiren...... Of course, it doesn't hurt to be a little stingy, and it can also be used to cry in front of the saint to complain about Concubine Qing's harshness, if it is too much, you still have to protect it, so as not to hurt the dragon species.

A young and beautiful palace concubine like Wei Meiren, who has no big clan support behind her, has successfully gone to the dragon bed, is ambitious, likes to play tricks, and feels that she has failed her smart palace concubine when she stays honestly, which is really not so easy to find.

At such times, she had to think that the little cleverness she was playing with had succeeded every time, and the tricks of others had failed, day after day, year after year, so that she felt that she was really smart, and that everyone else was stupid.

In the end, it is best for her to give birth to a prince, so that it is enough weight, if it is a princess, it is still a troublesome matter.

Li Rong and Li He took on such a drudgery, it was really difficult to make Wei Meiren's small movements succeed every time, and to successfully avoid the schemes of those concubines.

The corners of Xiao Hongqing's cold mouth were slightly hooked suspiciously, remembering what the eldest brother told him: "Come to think of it, when my father and the emperor supported Concubine Qing to ascend to the throne, Uncle Shen must have felt that it was a chore. ”

The eldest brother is really the cool Xiao father.

Thinking of the eldest brother's instructions, Xiao Hongqing said to Xie Zheng: "Send someone to wait at the gate of Deqing Palace, the second master came out, and told him that I had a jar of good wine and invited him to have a drink." ”

Xie Zheng responded yes, and said: "The eldest princess is out of the palace, and she hasn't returned to the palace yet." ”

Xiao Hongqing said: "That's the uncle's business, it has nothing to do with us, so we don't need to pay attention to it." ”

Of course, the eldest princess will definitely not dare to spend the night outside the palace, it is nothing more than to have dinner, Zhou Baolu specially ordered to set up the meal in advance, to invite the eldest princess to return to the palace earlier, the eldest princess smiled: "It doesn't matter, the eldest brother is doing things in the ministry today, I sent someone to tell him, and he will come to pick me up when he comes back." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to come in and reply: "Your Royal Highness and the prince have entered the mansion together, please go back to the palace with the eldest princess." ”

The eldest princess is a no-holding, so she pulled Zhou Baolu and said with a smile: "Send me to the door, and it will not be in vain for my brother to pick me up." ”

Zhou Baolu hated and wanted to pinch her: "What nonsense! ”

But Xiao Hongcheng looked at Zhou Baolu's gaze and really proved that the eldest princess was not, the eldest princess was laughing secretly on the side, and Zhou Baolu was shy in hindsight!

It's just that even if Xiao Hongcheng is full of enthusiasm, he can't say anything considerate to Zhou Baolu in front of everyone, and of course he can't transfer the black cavalry guard again in order to say anything, otherwise, even if Uncle Shen connives, his father will be annoyed.

Xiao Hongcheng had to look at it one by one, but Zhou Baolu suddenly became shy, only lowered his head, and couldn't accept the gaze.

Xiao Hongcheng was stunned, on the way back to the palace, he was thinking all the way, and suddenly he figured it out, and when he entered the palace, the eldest princess just got out of the car, and saw her brother standing in front of her, looking at her with shining eyes, and she shuddered: "What, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Hongcheng said with a smile: "Now that the weather is good, I heard that many young ladies will go out and go out, and Jinshan Villa is about a good time now, you went to ask your father, it's good to live there for a while." ”

The eldest princess's first reaction was not joy, but suspicion, her brother always scolded her for running around on weekdays, and she was stricter than her father's control, why did she suddenly give her an idea to go to Jinshan Courtyard to live?

Her brother has a courtyard in Geumsan, she is a good place, it was Uncle An Wang who gave her brother, although it is not very big, but there are hot springs and living water, flowers and trees, and it is the most open place in the middle of the mountain, it is a good place, the problem is ...... Did her brother eat something today?

After thinking for a long time, the eldest princess said: "Let's brother and sister, brother, what do you have to tell me directly, I will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire, don't be so yin to me, I don't have the bottom ...... in my heart."

Xiao Hongcheng glared at her: "What nonsense...... On weekdays, you always complain that I detain you, and now I ask you to go out to play, and you are like this, this little bit of guts, it's my sister who loses! Which eye will I show you! ”

The eldest princess said with a bitter face: "It's because I'm your sister that I know that I'm afraid, if you don't give me an understanding, how dare I respond, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get up if I step on it......"

As she spoke, she was going to count the history of blood and tears that her brother had pitted, but she had no mother since she was a child, and she relied on her brother, and she suffered countless losses before she figured out that her brother was caught, and she didn't have to plan at all.

Xiao Hongcheng couldn't cry or laugh, the girl was bitten by a snake this time...... Only then did he say reservedly: "What do you have to be afraid of, I just thought, you go to live in another courtyard, it is boring to be alone, wouldn't it be good to invite a few good young ladies to join you?" ”

The eldest princess slapped her thigh and grinned, "Ah, I see! Brother you can think of it, it's a good idea, I'll invite Xiaorou, Xiaolu, Xiuxiu to live together in Jinshan Villa for three or five months, brother, you can make raw rice and mature rice! …… ay

Yo...... Brother, you let go, you let go, I was wrong...... Ouch, it hurts...... I'll just make a joke, brother, spare me, I don't dare to ...... anymore."

Xiao Hongcheng put on a beautiful face, and finally removed his hand from the eldest princess's ear, and taught her seriously: "If you talk nonsense again, break your legs!" She will be your sister-in-law in the future, and she will be a serious sister-in-law who wants her father to marry three media and six appointments, you should be respectful! Call me to know that you are bullying her......"

"Well, break my leg, I know it, brother, don't worry, I have already seen her as a serious sister-in-law in my heart, and I will honor her as soon as I am ready, and I will beat anyone who dares to bully her!" Princess Celestia hurriedly expressed her loyalty.

Xiao Hongcheng is really helpless.
