Ling Xi shook the rattle in her hand lightly, she looked at Xiang Minghao's increasingly strong little body, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if her son was still alive, he should be like the second prince now, lively and cute.

Feng Yingying personally served Ling Xi a cup of tea and said respectfully: "Thanks to the queen's compassion for the concubine and her plea for your majesty's concubine, Your Majesty lifted the concubine's grounding, and the concubine really doesn't know how to repay the concubine's kindness." ”

Ling Xi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, after Xiang Minghao turned one year old, Xiang Hongxuan's heart to establish a prince became stronger and stronger, Feng Yingying's lifting of the ban, Xiang Hongxuan was just pushing the boat down the river, after all, the prince's biological mother could not be a sinner.

"The palace didn't do anything, Your Majesty has long wanted to lift Concubine Shu's grounding."

Ling Xi saw a pile of precious congratulatory gifts not far away, she stepped forward to take a look, they were all rare things, she thought that these were probably gifts from the wives of the inner and outer kingdoms to the second prince's first birthday.

Suddenly, she noticed a box of exquisite gifts, which didn't look like palace things, but like new things in the city, Ling Xi asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

Feng Yingying stepped forward to take a look and said, "This is a gift from Princess Zhaoqing to the second prince, Princess Zhaoqing has been sending some rare things in the city to the second prince every month since last winter, saying that it can bring blessings to the second prince." Saying that, Feng Yingying's face did not show smugness, but a look of contempt.

Ling Xi looked around Xiang Minghao again, it seemed that none of these precious gifts, Feng Yingying gave Xiang Minghao to play with, Ling Xi remembered that a few days ago, Bo Baoling told her that some petty officials in the previous dynasty asked Xiang Hongxuan to establish a prince, these petty officials were all recommended by Zhaoqing, and sure enough, Zhaoqing's sister understood Xiang Hongxuan's thoughts.

It's just a pity that with her as the queen, how could the descendants let the son of the imperial concubine become the prince, Xiang Hongxuan just wanted to set off the flame of the prince in the previous dynasty, but Yu Ziqi took the lead in turning up a huge wave and extinguished the flame of Xiang Hongxuan, Ling Xi thought that Xiang Hongxuan would be very unhappy at this time, no, it should be extremely depressed.

However, Zhaoqing has indeed been very involved in the previous dynasty over the years, before Ling Xi heard that Wu Cheng'an was dissatisfied with Xue Pingchuan's placement of cronies in the Pingcheng military camp, and left Pingcheng with his descendants in a fit of anger, and then I don't know how Zhaoqing spoke to Xiang Hongxuan, Xiang Hongxuan not only acquiesced in Wu Chengan's behavior, but also divided Pingcheng's military power into three points, and Jiang Wanfeng, the king of Pingnan, completely became a decoration.

Now that Zhaoqing is so on the pole to tie up with Feng Yingying's mother and son, it is estimated that he wants to take the route of the prince, and it seems that the grudge with Feng Yingying back then is as if it didn't happen. Ling Xi had to admire Zhaoqing, she was not only a queen mother, give her enough time, maybe she would be able to join the previous dynasty and make an eldest princess to participate in politics in the dynasty, thinking of this, Ling Xi couldn't help but worry.

"It's a pity that such a good thing is not used by the second prince." Ling Xi said.

Feng Yuying sneered, and said lightly: "These people are all people who tend to be inflammatory, after the concubines were grounded that day, these people can't wait to go around Xiyan Palace, and now they are locked up."

The palace only gave birth to a princess, and these people saw the wind and rudder, and began to desperately come to Xiyan Palace, who knows what kind of heart these people have, and how many harmful calculations there are in these gifts. ”

"Lady, be careful." Ling Xi said in a low voice.

Feng Yuying didn't think so, she continued: "Queen Mother, it doesn't matter if you say it carefully or not, Your Majesty comes to Xiyan Palace less and less, even if she comes, she only visits the prince and princess, and she doesn't talk much with her concubines, even if the concubines say carefully, they can't bring back Your Majesty's heart." ”

Ling Xi looked at Feng Yingying with a lost face, if there is anyone in this harem who is the most sincere to Xiang Hongxuan and does not have a trace of calculation, then it is only Feng Yingying, she can't compare, Xiao Xiangxiang can't compare, but unfortunately Xiang Hongxuan can't see it.

"Shufei, don't be too suspicious, don't forget the lessons from the past."

Hearing Ling Xi say the lessons of the past, Feng Yingying remembered the past, her resentment surged into her heart for a while, and said: "It's because I can't forget it, so I have to be more careful, Niangniang, you know, that person has clever means, does everything he can, and he can't prevent it." ”

"That's why you can't show your suspicions, or you'll be used by others." Ling Xi continued to persuade Feng Yingying.

"From now on, except for the things sent by the queen mother and your palace, no one's things, the concubines don't want them, and they don't need them." Feng Yingying said excitedly and loudly.

"Including me?"

Xiang Hongxuan strode into the Xiyan Palace, and his cold voice surprised Ling Xi and Feng Yingying, who immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean that. ”

After Xiang Hongxuan glanced at Ling Xi, he walked to Xiang Minghao's rocking car, he picked up his son, teased for a while, and said quietly: "The queen should take care of Concubine Shu's mother and son, Concubine Shu has a soft temperament, and I am more at ease with the presence of the queen." ”

Ling Xi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and took care of Hongxuan's words, not only the harem woman, but also her. This reminded Ling Xi of many years ago, when Feng Yingying was being favored, and Xiang Hongxuan was counting on her to solve problems for herself, but now it is different that at this time, Xiang Hongxuan is not for Feng Yingying, but just for his son.

....................................................................................................................

Xiao Xiangxiang sat in front of the bed with her daughter in her arms, staring at the outside of the hall attentively, she heard that Xiang Hongxuan had lifted the grounding for Feng Yingying, and she also heard that Xiang Hongxuan would go to Xiyan Palace to visit the prince every other day, she looked down at her daughter who had just completed the moon, and couldn't help but feel melancholy, and whispered: "How good it would be if you were a prince, you will not lose half a point in the country and father's love." ”

Lian Yingrong came to Xiao Xiangxiang's side and said, "Niangniang, Princess Xiyue is afraid that she is hungry, let the nurse go down to feed the princess." Saying that, Lian Yingrong took Xiang Xiyue from Xiao Xiangxiang's arms and turned around

handed it to the nurse behind her, and the nurse quickly carried Xiang Xiyue out of the inner room.

"Auntie, don't you think Guan Ju Palace is a little deserted? On the full moon day of Princess Xiyue, not many people came to congratulate her, but the Xiyan Palace has been very lively recently. Xiao Xiangxiang said with some taste.

"Niangniang, in the harem, the birth of a prince and the birth of a princess are naturally not the same thing, and it is natural that Xiyan Palace is in the city, Niangniang does not have to be discouraged, as long as Your Majesty's love remains unchanged, you will give birth to a prince sooner or later." Lian Yingrong comforted Xiao Xiangxiang.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiangxiang grabbed Lian Yingrong's arm and whispered: "What if this palace gives birth to a prince in the future, the tooth order of the second prince is higher than that of the son of this palace, and if the son of this palace wants to become a prince, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, it is better to ......"

"Niangniang," Lian Yingrong hurriedly interrupted Xiao Xiangxiang's words, she turned around and looked around, saw that there was no one in the inner hall, and continued to whisper: "The third prince has just died, if you do it at this time, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Your Majesty and the queen, and it is not good for Niangniang, Niangniang, please relax, there will be a chance in the future." ”

"I can't wait for later, doesn't my aunt know? In the previous dynasty, some people had already begun to encourage His Majesty to establish a prince, if His Majesty was determined to appoint the second prince as the crown prince, everything would be over in the future. Xiao Xiangxiang was a little impatient, this impatience was mixed with deep anxiety, and Xiao Xiangxiang didn't understand whether her anxiety came from Xiang Hongxuan's vast harem or this cruel battle between princes.

Lian Yingrong was calm, she smiled slightly, and said: "Niangniang, you don't have to worry, the slave maid saw Lord Zhou when Lord Zhou entered the palace, Lord Zhou said, Your Majesty wants to establish a prince, I'm afraid it's no fun, the descendants don't agree, even Yu Xiang came forward to stop it, Dongyu has not yet appeared, the queen is built, and he set a precedent for the son of the imperial concubine to be the prince, if the queen gives birth to a son-in-law in the future, then Dongyu is not the country shaken?" ”

"But in case the queen can't give birth to a son-in-law, and the second prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, isn't the position of prince still his?" Xiao Xiangxiang said anxiously again.

Even Yingrong also fell into contemplation, Xiao Xiangxiang's words are right, not only Feng Yingying's son can't live, but also the prince of the harem woman can't live, only in this way can Xiao Xiangxiang's prince sit firmly in the position of prince in the future.

"Don't worry, someone will help Niangniang take care of everything, including the second prince."

Xiao Xiangxiang looked at Lian Yingrong suspiciously, and just wanted to say something, when suddenly the palace people walked into the inner hall and said, "Concubine De, Mrs. Zhao is here." ”

"Quickly invite Mrs. Zhao in." Lian Yingrong hurriedly said.

Zhao Xinyue walked into the inner hall with hurried steps, she didn't care about greeting Xiao Xiangxiang, and said straight to the point: "Concubine De Niangniang, have you heard?" His Majesty handed over everything in Xiyan Palace to the queen to take care of, and the eating and drinking expenses of the lady concubine and the princess and princess had to be checked one by one. ”

Xiao Xiangxiang glanced up at Lian Yingrong, only to see Lian Yingrong shaking her head slightly, she was silent, and Lian Yingrong said softly: "Hey, who called His Royal Highness the Second Prince His Majesty now."

The heart of the flesh, poor Concubine De only gave birth to a princess, and His Majesty is a little unkind to see my mother. ”

"No, Your Majesty's holy favor for Concubine De, who can share it." Zhao Xinyue said in surprise, she came to Guan Ju Palace to get close to Xiao Xiangxiang at the same time, and then discuss some ways to deal with Feng Yingying, otherwise according to the current situation, Feng Yingying will gain power in the future, and she will really have no good life.

"Mrs. Zhao, don't you know, Your Majesty is now going to Xiyan Palace much more diligently, and Guan Ju Palace doesn't know how long you can keep Your Majesty." Xiao Xiangxiang immediately understood what Lian Yingrong meant, and she continued to say according to Lian Yingrong's words, she had to make Zhao Xinyue as anxious as she was.

Zhao Xinyue immediately got up, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Then what should I do?" ”

Lian Yingrong glanced down at Xiao Xiangxiang, Xiao Xiangxiang immediately understood, and said: "The princess and the prince have always been the prince's honor, but unfortunately there is no blessing in the palace, only Princess Xiyue was born, unlike Mrs. Zhao, you gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, if the emperor's eldest son did not die early, the palace and Princess Xiyue can still count on Mrs. Zhao's favor, but now they can only ask for more blessings." ”

As soon as Zhao Xinyue heard Xiao Xiangxiang mention her son, the hatred of many years ago came to her heart, she entangled the silk handkerchief in her hand, and Xiao Xiangxiang's words kept echoing in her ears, she thought that for her son, for herself, maybe she had to take a risk and do something.
