The so-called three years of decay is not a joke, during the period of filial piety, except for the sick, weak, young, and old, normal and healthy adults can't even move the meat. There will never be any entertainment in the palace, and when they are bored, the palace people can go to the garden to swing, fight flowers and plants, and even secretly push dominoes...... But now, these entertainments are completely extinct in the East Palace. Not to mention the Yanguan, Zhongguan, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, even the prince himself, he will not tolerate someone who does not take Emperor Wen's filial piety seriously. After all, he is Emperor Wen's favorite grandson! Although as the eldest son, even if he did not determine the title early, it was justified for him to be named the crown prince, but no one would think that this title would be determined one day earlier.

Although according to the old practice of Hongwu, after the death of Emperor Daxing and the removal of the heir emperor, the crown prince had to study according to the system, but at that time, the son of the Jianshu people was still very young, and he was originally the age of reading and writing, and now the prince is in his twenties, compared to his father, who is older and has some lack of energy, he is in the prime of life, but he is outstanding, and he has considerable experience in all matters and martial arts, which is enough to assist his father in court politics. Therefore, after the 100 days of filial piety, the prince, who was still wearing plain clothes, had already gone out early and returned late to participate in state affairs. Those who have stayed in the East Palace for a long time are the only four wives and concubines.

Speaking of which, these four people are a little bad, and now Shouxiao is recuperating from illness, and the crown princess has even been temporarily exempted from the morning and dusk provinces, in order to make the illness of the crown princess and Xu Cairen - Xu Cairen is just a miscarriage, and lying down for a few more days is already recovering her vitality, and her main problem now is still absent-minded, and she is confused all day long, as if she has 'soul disorder'. But the crown princess's illness is not trivial, she just came out of the confinement, and she forced the funeral of Emperor Wen to follow, as long as more than a month of tossing, so that the crown princess is a little lost vitality, and it was easy to survive the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince, turned her head and lay down again, will be raised for more than a month, it is easy to control the condition, that is, now, walking around in the East Palace is still weak, from the residence of the Lianhua Hall to the main hall of Ciqing Palace, she is let people carry her over.

As a person like the crown princess, it's not that she really doesn't want to walk, and she won't act like this, so the princess didn't feel unhappy because of her somewhat suspicious performance, but asked Sun Yunu with concern, "Didn't you say that it was already good, and it would be enough to raise it for two more days, how can you see that your face is still so pale, but you have to ask a doctor to help you again?" ”

are all in filial piety, it is said that they can't even wear fur or even cotton clothes, but when it's cold, what else can keep out the cold better than fur? Everyone can only do silk and satin not to go up, these princesses and concubines, wearing white coarse cotton jackets, gathered in this simple room, not like the concubines of the heavenly family, but like a peasant women's party. The headcloth wrapped around Sun Yunu's head is the same color as that of a peasant woman, it is all black coarse cloth, but it seems that her complexion is pale and lacks blood, hearing the princess's condolences, she smiled reluctantly, and said softly, "Actually, what I asked to prescribe is those food supplements, it is better not to bother with this." It's just that I'm a little dizzy today, and it shouldn't be a big deal to rest for a while. ”

When the crown princess heard this, she didn't continue to ask, but talked about business, "I went to see Niangniang today, Niangniang has already revealed the wind with me, our filial piety is to be guarded with our hearts." ”

Keeping filial piety for the Son of Heaven is actually a novelty for the entire court. Because it is difficult to leave an official written record of the affairs of the palace, and the Nanjing palace was almost burned by the Jianshu people, there is a lack of written records of how the palace people kept filial piety when Emperor Gao died more than 20 years ago. This filial piety, whether to keep it with heart or to keep it, is still a lot worse. Just like the general court staff, between 'intentions' and 'truthfulness', the difference is often a human life - if filial piety is not guarded well, it is easy to make a human life, and this joke of the crown princess is very playful.

- But what she responded to was a blank and ignorant look......

He Xianxian really didn't realize that the crown princess was telling a joke. And although Sun Yunu understands that the crown princess wants to tell a joke, she may not know this intentional and real allusion - although she grew up in the inner court, the affairs of the outer court are not something she can casually contact and understand.

As for Xu Xun, he was completely distracted, his eyes were blank, he understood at a glance, and he didn't know where his mind had drifted......

The crown princess looked around, and couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart: The queen wants to draft, how can she not understand the painstaking work? As court ladies, the concubines are also their faces. are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and even the green head card of the servant is less than a game, which is completely the result of the eldest woman's work and not doing haode. Sitting in their position, the general jealousy can no longer affect the mood of the queen and the crown princess, for the royal wife, doing her job well is the most important thing.

The three beauties in the womb were still able to support the scene in previous years, but now that they look at it, they seem to be extremely thin and weak, and all of them are not healthy, how can they be on the stage? is reasonable, the crown princess has to consider accepting a new crown prince.

Of course, the filial piety period of up to twenty-seven months is enough for her to prepare calmly, and when the emperor is drafted in the harem next year, she can also say hello to the queen and reserve some beauties for the prince, and the princess is not worried about the selection of candidates now. What she was worried about was the decadent spirit in the Tai Womb. -- The three beauties, all of whom seem to have something on their minds, none of them have a happy face on their faces, and even when they are filial piety, this face looks a little too depressed.

As for the reason, the crown princess has vague and guesses in her heart, but it's hard to say clearly, and today she gathered everyone in the palace in order to let this news boost everyone's mood.

"Since we have to keep it carefully, let's not talk about our food and clothing, even the eldest brother, we must abide by the etiquette system," the crown princess said gently, "There are no secrets in the palace, once something happens, maybe it will be the handle of the eldest brother who will be dealt with in the future...... In the past, we also saw how the people in the East Palace behaved. As a concubine, she should be cautious in her words and deeds, and she can't cause a little trouble to her eldest brother. ”

The words are a bit twisted and turned, but they also reveal their meaning obviously. The crown princess didn't use any hints considering everyone's mental state - anyway, there wasn't much evidence left for what she said.

As a prince, he has always been more trembling and angry. is one step away from the position of the Son of Heaven, and his status and authority are not comparable to others, but because of this, he is also more suspicious than others. In particular, the crown prince was deeply loved by Emperor Wen, surrounded by important ministers, and almost all the cabinet ministers instructed him in his studies, and now is also the time when he is in the prime of life...... Compared with the prince, who has never been very favored, his edge has always been very prosperous.

The more proud you are, the more careful you have to be. Although the relationship between the crown prince and the emperor is not wrong in the slightest, this does not mean that the concubines of the East Palace can slack off, or even be pampered and arrogant. Since the queen said that this filial piety should be guarded with heart, with her status by the emperor's side, this matter is equivalent to having been decided. The East Palace must be consistent with the three words of heart, and in the entire filial piety period, anyone and the prince will do the Dunlun ceremony, which is equivalent to adding endless disasters to the East Palace in the future. Filial piety is a major crime of unfilial piety, and serious investigation can kill people. Which concubine can afford such a responsibility?

The crown princess's words also succeeded in making all the concubines show a look of deep thought and fear, and even Xu Xun came back to his senses and focused his attention on the crown princess. The crown princess nodded with satisfaction, and continued, "Not only must we be strict in our own etiquette, and even the restraint on the palace people must be strict. The eldest brother is young and vigorous, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he can't hold it back, such as a dry firewood, if he encounters cold water everywhere, then it's fine. But if at such a time, there are still people who deliberately tease the prince with eyebrows and affection......"

All the concubines said, "Don't worry, we know what to do." ”

Like the flowers around Xu Cairen, there are a few palace maids who have been favored and have no reputation, and there are so many in the palace. Several concubines have this kind of existence similar to the big girl in the room, although they have no name, it has been proved that the prince is indeed not interested in them, and the possibility of returning to the lucky house is very small. The way out for these palace maids is also relatively bleak, and most of the time they live in seclusion in the palace - the palace people who have received grace will generally not be released again. But there are one and there are two, and many palace people may still have a dream of ascending to the sky in their hearts.

For this kind of thing, the concubines have different attitudes, but most of them have an indifferent attitude, they are not jealous people who love to fight for the wind and jealousy, if there is one more favored concubine, who is from their own palace, it is also a good thing.

But now, not only can he not have any too ambiguous contact with the prince, but even the palace people around him must be strictly restrained, and those characters who are not very honest in temperament and have a bit of grace can no longer appear by the prince's side. The crown princess didn't say something explicitly, but everyone knew it: in the Yulu Rebellion, everyone also learned a truth. The emperor must have ears and eyes around him, and what happened in the palace may be difficult to hide from the emperor. If you want to have an affair with the prince in private to maintain your favor, it is simply playing with fire. Once the incident happens, even if there is the prince to protect him, it will provoke the anger of the crown princess and even the queen in the blink of an eye.

The crown princess is still very confident in her three sisters - none of them are scheming people who are jealous and jealous. The reason why they said it so clearly was just to let them be cautious and avoid negligence. Now seeing that the three of them nodded yes, they also relieved themselves and dismissed everyone, "Let's go back and raise it as soon as possible, if it's not good, don't come to me to ask for peace, just take care of it." ――More than 20 months, enough for you to slowly recuperate. ”

Now, the three concubines seem to be at ease, for more than 20 months, what illness can't be recuperated? Everyone can't sneak away anyway, and there's nothing to worry about in their hearts...... Even what a rookie girl, that's a matter of much later. Others don't say it, but the expression on Sun Yunu's face is a little brighter - she has a heavy mind, her health is not good, and she has worked hard to raise a daughter, and in the blink of an eye, she is sick again, and she needs to recuperate......

The crown princess also took in the expressions of the three concubines, she smiled slightly, got up and sent everyone out of the house, and called out to Xu Xun, who had already walked to the front of the crowd, "Xiao Xun, you stay for a while, I have something to ask you." ”

Xu Xun has also been in charge of palace affairs, and it is not surprising that the crown princess has something to ask her for help, even she herself thought it was a matter of detail, and when she walked into the house, she asked, "My sister wants to ask about the rotation of the palace maid in this palace——"

The crown princess waved her hand, interrupting Xu Xun's speech, she glanced at Xu Xun, frowned, her face became gloomy, and she said straight to the point, "Xiao Xun, what's going on with you lately, you are in the palace, where did your soul fly?" Could it be that one miscarriage that drained all your thoughts? ”

Seeing Xu Xun's lips move slightly, as if he wanted to argue for himself, the crown princess intercepted again, "Don't blame me for speaking ugly - who hasn't lost a child a few times in these years?" Even I fell once after Huang'er, but it was kept secret, and not many people knew about it. You feel uncomfortable, we can all understand it, but it's uncomfortable to continue to lose your soul like this now, I'm just afraid of ...... People will think you're too squeamish. ”

Seeing that Xu Xun had a little more vigilance on his face, the crown princess was also comforted: Fortunately, if she knows how to be vigilant, she can be saved.

She still didn't give Xu Xun a chance to speak, and after a moment of silence, she went straight to the point. "Actually, I can guess that you are so confused, I'm afraid it's not all because of the child's business-it's the scene of being martyred, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xun's shoulders suddenly shook significantly.

The author has something to say: Xiao Xun's mind is best understood by the crown princess.
