When the matter came out, the emperor was naturally furious again.

Feng Luan sighed when he heard this, "Why don't you want to live a clean life?" There is no time for contentment. "Thinking about it, it's doubtful, Jiang Zizheng is so bold? The mistake in front has not yet been settled, and the palace maid of the princess's mansion has slept again, is he careless, or is there something else hidden? It's just that it has nothing to do with yourself.

I don't want to get involved in this mess, they want to make trouble, whatever they want.

Feng Luan felt that she was not in a good mood recently, and she couldn't listen to the troubles, but when she heard it, she felt upset, so she said to Jiang's mother: "It's probably because I haven't rested well recently, and my temper is also big." ”

Mother Jiang heard this, but said, "Can Niangniang's temper not be big?" This has been since entering the palace......" pointed to the Yongshou Palace, "there is no day to stop there, no matter if there is something or not, they love to toss Niangniang, and no one can stand it." ”

Feng Luan nodded, thinking of the Queen Mother's recent cold words,—— although he won't get angry about this, he will definitely not be in a good mood. shook his head and sighed: "Those who come to be daughters-in-law are all a little angry, if you meet a reasonable person, it's okay to meet an unreasonable ......, it's okay, but the emperor is distressed and considerate of me." ”

How can there be so many things in the world that are perfect? The mother-in-law has shortcomings, but the husband is good, and the children are both complete, and it is enough.

I was quiet for a while, and then said: "Now the midsummer is unbearable, and there are also impetuousness." Let people prepare some more chilled sour plum soup, I love to drink it, the emperor can also drink two bowls when he comes, and the children also like to drink it. ”

Jiang's mother smiled: "Don't worry, it's definitely enough to drink." ”

Xiao Duo came back from the front, took out a pair of hostas and a few jade pendants, and said to Feng Luan: "A few pieces of good jade are put in under the previous section, and I let people carve them into ornaments, one of which is a particularly good material, it's a pity to make ornaments, so let me make these, the hosta is for you, and the jade pendant is for the children." ”

Feng Luan took a look, the two hostas were very beautiful, "Thank you." He smiled, pinned the mirror to his head, and looked at the remaining jade pendants, a total of seven.

It seems that Xiao Duo, the father, has done a good job, and every child remembers it. After that, let the children pick their favorites, and then send one to Chongge'er and Nian Ge'er, and the next day, send someone out of the palace and give one to Sister Zhen'er, Princess Xiaoxian and Princess Xiaohui.

The palace people who went to give Princess Xiaohui a jade pendant came back with a sad face, "Oh no, the master fell into the well and drowned." ”

"Drowned?!" Feng Luan's tea lid jingled and was stunned, and the first reaction in his heart was that ,—— was about to have a big storm again. But I couldn't cover this matter, so I hurriedly called another palace person, "Go and tell the emperor, as for the queen mother's side......" He groaned, "The queen mother is sick, so let's wait for the emperor to say it slowly." ”

lest his palace people be angry and give up their lives.

And then he asked, "What's going on?" ”

"It is said that after the death of the palace maid Fang Su, the horse was in a trance, and he made a noise at night that he had seen a ghost, which made the people in the courtyard uneasy. Then ......, I don't know when the horse went out in the middle of the night, and when the morning dawned, the people couldn't find the horse, and searched all over the yard, only to find the horse in the well in the backyard. The palace man gestured: "It is said that the head bubble is so big, and the body is so thick......"

Feng Luan felt sick to his stomach when he heard this, and said in disgust: "Don't say it!" Somehow, I couldn't help but turn over the river and the sea in my stomach, but I vomited out the taro porridge in the morning. She pounded her heart again and again, let people bring water, rinsed her mouth for a long time and panted, and still felt uncomfortable.

Mother Jiang didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly asked someone to invite the doctor to come over and take a look-

But it was an unexpected joy.

"Congratulations to the Queen." The imperial doctor who came to check the pulse was overjoyed, with an expression of picking up a good thing, "The queen mother has a happy pulse for more than a month." ”

"Huh?" Feng Luan was stunned, a little incredulous.

The small day was a few days late, but it was late a few times in the year after entering the palace, and the doctor said that it was because of the poor mood and the endocrine disorder, so he didn't care too much. Besides, the dragon and phoenix fetuses are seven years old this year, and they haven't been pregnant for seven years in the middle, where would they think of this? After being stunned for a long time, he said happily: "But really? You cut the pulse again, don't be mistaken, and let Hongu Kong rejoice. ”

The imperial doctor smiled: "You can't cut the wrong pulse of joy." However, seeing that the queen was not at ease, she still cut it again, and then got up and said: "It's true, the queen's mother is a happy vein." ”

A smile bloomed from the bottom of Feng Luan's eyes, like a flower.

Xiao Duo just got the news of Jiang Zizheng's death, and as soon as he rushed over, he saw that the people in the hall were full of joy, and he couldn't help but be stunned. If it weren't for the fact that Feng Luan was not the kind of person who gloated, he would have been careful, because he asked, "What is the joy of?" ”

"Don't say it!" Feng Luan smiled and groaned, and drove the imperial doctor and the palace people out.

Xiao Duo looked at her, "It's still so mysterious." But looking at her appearance, it is indeed a happy event, so naturally I want to hear it, so as to sweep away the bad news of Jiang Zizheng's death.

After Feng Luan entered the palace, he really didn't live a few comfortable days. Although she is protected by the emperor, the queen mother is restless every day, even if she is calm, she is definitely not happy. And the fact that she was pregnant again was too happy for her, enough to repel all her troubles.

"Rokuro." She wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, "I'm happy." ”

"Happy?" Xiao Duo hadn't reacted yet, "What's the joy?" ”

"Why are you so stupid!" Feng Luan said angrily: "Stupid! He took his big hand and put it on his stomach, his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy and pride, "You're going to be a father again." She asked, "Are you happy?" Thank you for the good news. ”

"Really?" Xiao Duo picked her up, hugged her, looked up and said, "I'm so happy that I don't know what to say." I couldn't help but want to hug her in a circle, turned around a little, stopped again, and carefully put her on the beauty couch, with a face full of joy, "Ah Luan, whether you give birth to a daughter or a son, I am happy." And he said, "Well, thank you for your good news." ”

Feng Luan smiled: "It's funny, you take it seriously." ”

"It's true." Xiao Duo remembered that after he ascended the throne, there were few happy things, her pregnancy was indeed a great piece of good news, who would think that he had many children? What's more, it was born to a beloved, and that joy naturally expanded many times. How beautiful it is to think of having a child like her? How joyful is it to be like your own child? I couldn't stop laughing, "When I'm empty, let's celebrate." ”

The two of them were happy in the house for a while.

Overjoyed, Feng Luan said: "I haven't told the Queen Mother about Jiang Zizheng, I want to wait for the emperor to come over and tell me euphemistically, so as not to make the Queen Mother angry." ”

Xiao Duo groaned, "The queen mother has not been in good health recently, Jiang Zizheng ......, let's not talk about it first." "Not only does the mother know that the news is unstable, but the horse died strangely, and she has to check this matter, in case it ......, she always feels that she has nothing to do with her daughter.

If it was really Sister Hui who did something and made a fuss, it would really be a big storm.

Therefore, Xiao Duo concealed the news for the time being, and did not tell the Queen Mother as soon as possible, and also explained to the palace people around the Queen Mother, it is strictly forbidden to spread the news of Jiang Zizheng's death to the ears of the Queen Mother, and the offender will be killed! Therefore, Empress Dowager Jiang has been kept strictly hidden, and she does not know that her nephew has died.

Here, Xiao Duo sent someone to Princess Xiaohui's mansion to check, and after checking and checking, nothing was found. This is not surprising, how can the people in the princess's mansion say that the princess is not? The colt is dead again, what can be found in front of a drowned and soaked corpse? But Xiao Duo refused to close the case like this.

After all, Jiang Zizheng is a member of the Jiang family, so he can only hide it from his mother for a while, not for the rest of his life, he has to make the twists and turns in it clear, and he has a plan in his heart.

Therefore, Princess Xiaohui entered the palace to speak, and it was originally just a routine general inquiry a few words, but she found that her daughter's words flickered, and her eyes did not dare to look directly at herself, and she couldn't help but sink in her heart. If the horse is not the Jiang family, but since the Jiang family is involved, Xiao Duo can't be so vague about the death of the horse, so he suddenly sank, "Sister Hui, you tell the truth, how did the horse die?" ”

Princess Hyo-hye's heart jumped, "I'm telling the truth." She shuddered, but still didn't dare to look up, "Ever since Fang Su died, the colt has been very guilty, and at night he began to talk nonsense, saying that he had seen Fang Xu. After tossing for a long time, everyone was too tired to sleep, and no one knew when the horse came out, and then he ......, and Tianming found that he had fallen into the well. ”

Xiao Duo's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at his second daughter, who was not complicated.

She has a grudge against Jiang Zizheng, Jiang Zizheng is dead, it is normal for her not to be sad, but what is the matter with facing her own uneasiness? Therefore, he had a plan and said: "Your imperial grandmother is not in good health, and I haven't told her about the death of the concubine, so you can go over and talk about it yourself." ”

"I'm not going, I'm not going!" Princess Xiaohui waved her hand again and again, raised her eyes, her eyes were obviously a little panicked, and then hurriedly lowered her head, "I don't want to go to see the emperor's grandmother, it's better to ......, or my father to talk about it." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Duo became more and more suspicious, and simply deceived his daughter, "Sister Hui, you are bold!" His voice suddenly became stronger, "Then you tell me why the forensic doctor checked the pony's stomach for hallucinogenic drugs?" The death of the colt, I'm afraid there is something else going on! ”

Princess Xiaohui suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning, she raised her head, opened her mouth wide and couldn't move.

Xiao Duo didn't expect it to be true!

Princess Xiaohui is not the kind of person who has a city in her heart, she was intimidated by her father, and she thought that the evidence was conclusive, and she soon couldn't hide it. Although she didn't admit it, Xiao Duo asked people to strictly interrogate the palace people who served her closely, and after a few trips to the criminal law, the palace people explained everything.

Jiang Zizheng didn't fall into the well by himself, but because he was drugged in the food and was delirious, he shouted that there were ghosts in the world, and then he was pushed down by someone .......

The person who started it was naturally instructed by Princess Xiaohui.

Xiao Duo couldn't help but be furious, slapped the table and said, "Sister Hui, you are murdering your husband!" ”

Jiang Zizheng really had some unclean faults, but he was not guilty of death.

Princess Xiaohui cried bitterly and said: "Father, don't marry a daughter like Jiang Zizheng, and don't marry a ...... daughter" over and over again, that's it.

Xiao Duo saw that she not only did not have the slightest remorse, but relied on her status as a princess to do whatever she wanted, in order to get rid of Jiang Zizheng, she even dared to murder her husband and cousin,—— such a ruthless person, is she still her own daughter?! No, no, Sister Hui has always been timid and naïve, not like someone who took the initiative to come up with such evil thoughts.

"Pass Princess Xiaoxian into the palace." He said coldly.

Princess Xiaoxian didn't expect her sister to be so unsuccessful, and she actually leaked the matter. She was quite responsible, and she admitted it with a stiff neck, "It was her daughter who taught Sister Hui'er, don't blame her father." He said aggrievedly: "I shouldn't have given this marriage to Sister Hui in the first place, if I hadn't ......, there would have been no such things." ”

Xiao Duo said angrily: "You still don't repent?!" reprimanded the eldest daughter, asked her to think about it, and then pointed to Princess Xiaohui, "You have been filial piety for Jiang Zizheng for three years, you have thought about it day and night, and you have repented!" ”

Princess Xiaoxian was a little anxious, thinking that Jiang Zizheng was dead and her sister could remarry, but she didn't think of keeping filial piety for three years. Therefore, as soon as he left the palace, he went to the Mu family's room, and asked his aunt not to be in a hurry to betrothal his cousin.

But the news that Princess Xiaoxian went to the Mu family's room was passed back by the palace people, which made Xiao Duo's brows jump for a while, and the eldest daughter not only didn't know the slightest repentance, but also had the idea of adding her sister to the Mu family, okay, no wonder they dared to kill Jiang Zizheng so boldly, and even found the next house.

The next day, the emperor gave the second son of Grandma Mu a marriage.

Princess Xiaoxian hurriedly entered the palace and said in a panic: "Why did my father give the cousin of the Mu family a marriage?" That's ...... "That's what will be left to my sister in the future, my brother-in-law in the future."

Xiao Duo looked at his daughter who became unrecognizable, "In your eyes, Jiang Zizheng's life is not fate, right?" Because you and Sister Hui are princesses, even the children and grandchildren of the Queen Mother can harm if they want?! It seems that it is still the fault of me who indulges and dotes on my daughter. ”

Princess Xiaoxian was stunned when she heard this.

Xiao Duo stared at his daughter's eyes and said, "You think this is helping your sister?" You're doing her a disservice! In the future, the Queen Mother will know about this matter, how do you let Sister Hui deal with herself? ! ”

Princess Xiaoxian was stunned and said, "How can the imperial grandmother know the Tao? As long as my father doesn't say ......"

"Ha Lu Ha." Xiao Duo laughed angrily and asked, "Why do I want to cover it up for you?" Why lie to your mother for your daughter? Tell me, what kind of reasoning is this?! It was true that he didn't plan to tell his mother, but he felt that his daughter didn't take it for granted, so he broke off and shouted, "You disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous thing, kneel down for me!" ”

Princess Hyohyun knelt down, opened her mouth, and closed her mouth again.

Although Xiao Duo was angry, his daughter was not a son, and it was not good to take the board out to beat people, so he was angry for a while, and then closed his eyes and said: "That's it, I don't want to see you jumping up and down like this again, go back and arrange a provincial errand for Wei Rong, you can go with him." ”

"The father wants to expel his daughter from the capital?!" Princess Hyo-hyun was shocked when she heard this.

Xiao Duo opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I hope you will do it yourself, and live in peace in the future." ”

"Father......" Princess Xiaoxian is flustered and sad, if her biological mother is still alive and she is the queen, where will her sister's marriage be manipulated? How could he end up being expelled from the capital? She shed tears and choked up: "Although my daughter is at fault, this marriage was not a good match in the first place." If there is no ......" wanted to say that there was no imperial grandmother intervening, and he was afraid of making his father even more angry, and then changed his words, "If the queen mother can dissuade her and let the imperial grandmother change her mind about marrying the Jiang family, how can it be like this?" ”

Fell to the ground and cried: "If you want to say that there is a mistake, she is also wrong!" ”

"Smack!" Xiao Duo gave his daughter the first slap in his life, and then without saying a word, he raised his feet and brushed his sleeves out.

******

The peaceful days passed until the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and it was quiet.

But at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Empress Dowager Jiang found that there were a few people missing, and said in surprise: "Why don't you see Sister Xian and Sister Hui today?" And what about the horses? She didn't care about her granddaughter's condition, but she was worried about meeting Jiang Zizheng, but she just asked by the way.

As early as last month, Princess Xiaoxian left the capital with Wei Rong to take up her post, so naturally she couldn't attend. And Jiang Zizheng is already dead, if Sister Hui comes alone, it will not be beautiful, Xiao Duo simply did not even let Sister Hui come. Hearing the mother ask at this moment, she said: "The daughter who married out of the land will splash the water and let them reunite themselves." ”

How did Empress Dowager Jiang agree? said unhappily: "Then you have to go into the palace to ask for peace, I didn't come during the day." ”

"Let's get started." Xiao Duo let people start the feast, singing and dancing.

interrupted Empress Dowager Jiang's complaints, but she couldn't let her forget about it, and asked again the next day, instructing the palace people, "Go and pass on filial piety and concubines into the palace." ”

Jiang Zizheng has been dead for more than a month, and the grass has grown on the grave, and if it can be transmitted, it has to be a corpse.

The palace people couldn't help but look embarrassed and looked at Feng Luan.

Empress Dowager Jiang was already suspicious, and she had always been dissatisfied with Feng Luan, so she became more and more suspicious, and couldn't help but say: "Empress, are you blocking people from entering the palace?" ”

"The daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Feng Luan smiled.

"What about the man?" Empress Dowager Jiang was unhappy, "The people of the Jiang family have asked you to be driven away, and you will not be seen for the rest of your life, what are you not satisfied with?" The mourning family just wants to see Zheng'er, do you want to stop it? ”

"The daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Feng Luan still said this, and then looked at the palace people, and signaled to ask the emperor to come over and save the scene, he didn't want to tell the news of Jiang Zizheng's death in person.

When Empress Dowager Jiang saw her eyes, she said, "You really have a ghost in your heart!" Do you think it's okay to move to the emperor? He scolded his daughter-in-law: "You kneel down for the mourning family!" ”

How is Feng Luan willing to kneel? Not to mention that I am pregnant now, I don't want to be angry. So he just stood up and lowered his head, did not kneel, and said with a smile: "Things are a little complicated, the queen mother still waits for the emperor to come and explain it clearly, and then she understands." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang has always wanted to find an opportunity to attack her, and today she finally caught her, so she naturally didn't want to let it go. He scolded the surrounding palace people: "What are you all doing in a daze? Are there any rules in this Yongshou Palace? Go tell the queen and get her to kneel. ”

It means that he directly knocked Feng Luan to the ground.

If you change to an authoritative queen mother, relying on her identity and status, she can really clean up the queen like this, after all, the queen is a daughter-in-law. But Fengluan is not a soft persimmon, the emperor's favor for her is obvious to all, and it is unprecedented in this dynasty, but I am afraid that there will be no one in the future.

In addition, the queen mother and the emperor have fallen out for a long time, and what she said is not easy to use in the palace at all.

None of the palace people were willing to move.

Just kidding, it moved the tip of the emperor's heart, the queen mother has nothing to do, and the slave doesn't die quickly? Because he was scolded or even beaten by the Queen Mother, he couldn't move the queen.

Empress Dowager Jiang trembled with anger, "It's the opposite, it's all against the sky." ”

The situation in the hall suddenly became deadlocked, Empress Dowager Jiang kept scolding, the queen just stood aside and didn't speak, there was not even a trace of anger on her face,—— she was pregnant, so she naturally refused to get angry easily. Besides, if you are angry for someone like your mother-in-law, you will die of anger seven or eight times a day.

Empress Dowager Jiang is still scolding, "Are you a mother-in-law, or am I a mother-in-law?" Is there a daughter-in-law like you? You are still a queen, what kind of mother is the world, what is the difference between you and those foxes......"

The palace people of Yongshou Palace all changed their faces when they heard this, and the Queen Mother actually didn't care about her face at all, and scolded the queen like a shrew in the market, the queen was annoyed, can she not hate the people in Yongshou Palace? They all want to get into the cracks in the ground.

Feng Luan's face did not change, and his heart was calm, just as a fly was buzzing in his ears.

Fortunately, Xiao Duo came quickly like a gust of wind.

Empress Dowager Jiang pointed to her son, "The queen stopped Zheng'er from entering the palace, her words flickered, and there was a ghost in her heart." He whimpered and cried, "You have to be the master of the mourning family." "The majesty of the Queen Mother can't be played, so she simply plays the bitter card, and the mother and son cry for the son.

Xiao Duo regretted a little, he should have told his mother about Jiang Zizheng earlier, he was born yesterday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he was in a hurry to go to the morning court today, but he didn't expect it to make trouble so soon. Worried about Feng Luan's pregnancy at the moment, he said first: "You go back, I will talk to my mother alone." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes widened, "You actually let her go first?!" ”

Xiao Duo said: "Ah Luan is pregnant, and she is still in the first three months. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang was stunned when she heard this, "Pregnant? "It's weird in my heart, I can't tell what it's like, if this foxy woman has another boy, her son is afraid that she will love her even more, and there will be no mother in his eyes, right? hated in his heart, and as soon as Feng Luan came out of the hall, he said: "The mourning family wants to let Zheng'er enter the palace to speak, but the queen doesn't let her, and she stops her, you say that even if she is pregnant, she can't be so rampant, right?" Oh, she just relied on being pregnant, so ......, the emperor would protect her, and the mourning family didn't dare to punish her, so she was so bold! ”

Xiao Duo was quiet, and then said: "Queen Mother, Jiang Zizheng fell into the well last month and drowned. ”

The anger on Empress Dowager Jiang's face gradually converged and turned into shock, "What are you talking about ......?" Zheng'er is so dignified, how could she fall into the well and drown? No, it can't be! ”

"It's true." Xiao Duo endured the anger in his heart towards his daughter, and did not mention it, but said on the surface, "Jiang Zizheng and Sister Hui were a little disagreeing, so they slept with a palace maid in the princess's mansion, and after the palace maid died, Jiang Zizheng was in a trance and always said that he had seen a ghost, and then went out in the middle of the night and fell into the well." ”

"You talk nonsense!"

"It's true, Jiang Zizheng has been buried." Xiao Duo said: "Because I was afraid that the queen mother would be sad, I kept this matter a secret, and I wanted to find an opportunity to say it slowly, so I ......"

"You, you ......" Empress Dowager Jiang trembled with anger, "This is ......, you want to kill all the people of the Jiang family, so that you can ......rest assured" She trembled and wanted to say more, but her eyes were crooked, and she couldn't say it clearly.
