In the palace is the emperor's big family, it is indeed inappropriate for Zhenzhen to live in it before she is married, and the queen mother does not mind rescuing this little girl, maybe it will be useful in the future: "You get up, the mourning family will keep you by your side and be a little girl who combs your hair, I think no one will embarrass you." ”

The guards who stayed in the Empress Dowager's palace reported the matter to Pei Yuan: "The Empress Dowager has decided to keep her, do you want to, Lord Wang?" ”

Pei Yuan waved his hand: "I'll go in person, you don't have to worry about it." ”

When Pei Yuan passed, Zhenzhen was laughing with the Queen Mother, she was not very smart, but she could coax the Queen Mother to be happy, Pei Yuan stood outside the hall and looked at the two of them and smiled: "The king's treatment of them, I think the Queen Mother already knows, is the Queen Mother still satisfied?" ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand for Zhenzhen to stand behind her, and then looked at Pei Yuan and said, "They are your brothers and sisters-in-law, and those juniors are also innocent people, shouldn't you do this?" ”

Pei Yuan took two steps and sat down in front of the Queen Mother: "When you did those things back then, did you ever think about whether my mother was an innocent person, and whether my fourth emperor brother was an innocent person?" ”

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and looked at Pei Yuan: "I have already done what you said, is King Xian going back on his word?" ”

Pei Yuan looked at the embarrassed and angry Queen Mother, and only felt that his heart was full of sadness, and he had no intention of wasting his lips and tongue with her: "What this king said, naturally he will not go back on his word, but the Queen Mother is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and she actually wants to rescue another one." After speaking, he pointed to Zhenzhen behind the Queen Mother.

"You sent away all the people in the palace, and the mourning family just wanted to leave a familiar person to talk to every day, can't it? What's more, you also said in front of hundreds of officials, you will never embarrass innocent people, and she is also innocent, isn't she? Why should you let such an innocent person go to the palace to suffer? The Queen Mother looked at Pei Yuan and finally softened her attitude.

Pei Yuan only said coldly: "She is the queen's niece, if you leave such a person in the palace, this king will not be able to sleep peacefully every night." ”

Knowing that he was unwilling to let go, he had to be completely convinced: "Even if you are begging for help, what can I do with a lonely old woman, she is just a little girl, what can I do with you?" I beg you to leave her with the mourning family in a moment. ”

Liuyu looked at Pei Yuan, who came out alone, and asked, "Is the prince really going to keep that girl in the palace?" He remembered that this girl had spied on the prince and made the princess unhappy.

Pei Yuan glanced back, there was no light in the hall, and he couldn't see clearly in the dim and dim way: "Let them go, the people in the palace are already clear and clean, and they can't make any waves." ”

After dealing with the affairs in the palace, Yuan Yang and Yuan Xu asked Pei Yuan if he wanted to stay in the palace: "If you stay in the palace, your subordinates will let the palace people prepare." The previous dormitory must not be used, so you have to prepare another room. ”

"No need, the king has to go back to dine with the princess." Pei Yuan waved his hand, "Go prepare the carriage." ”

Shen Jiahe really waited in the palace, the food was hot over and over again, and even Bai Ying couldn't stand it: "Princess, you can use it first, so many things have happened today, and the prince will not come back." ”

"He didn't send someone back to say a word, he shouldn't stay in the palace, we'll wait a while." As soon as these words fell, Pei Yuan had already pushed the door and walked in.

He straightened his sleeves and smiled: "I went to change my clothes, which is delayed, let's eat." ”

After the two sat down separately, Pei Yuan looked at the table full of chopsticks and said strangely: "Don't you like to eat these things?" Is it that someone in the kitchen does not know your taste. ”

Before Shen Jiahe could speak, he called out to Bai Ying: "You didn't go and stare at it, this king looks at this table, but there are few things that your princess likes to eat." ”

Bai Ying glanced at Shen Jiahe and said with a smile: "I didn't like to eat before, but since the princess became pregnant, her taste has changed, except for a few dishes on this table that are specially made for the princess to eat, the others are what the princess likes to eat." ”

The chopsticks in Pei Yuan's hand snapped and fell, and he raised his eyes to look at Shen Jiahe, his eyes full of joy: "You have our child?" ”

Shen Jiahe nodded, and said to him with a smile: "Yes, I wanted to tell you again in the evening, but who made you busy with so many things, and you are still so concerned about my meal." ”

Pei Yuan cautiously leaned forward, wanting to hug Shen Jiahe, but he was worried that it would touch her stomach, so he withdrew his hand again.

Shen Jiahe smiled and took his hand and put it on his lower abdomen: "It's still small now, I heard Xinrou say that when he gets older, he can feel him move inside." ”

Pei Yuan only felt that this was a very magical thing, and he was extremely careful with Shen Jiahe, even Bai Ying didn't let her follow and serve, and he sat aside and personally served Shen Jiahe vegetables.

Shen Jiahe smiled and quipped: "You are the emperor, how can the emperor serve people like this, if it is spread out, it will not make outsiders laugh off their big teeth." ”

"You also said that they are all outsiders." Pei Yuan didn't care and scooped another bowl of sweet soup for Shen Jiahe, "Even if it is the emperor, it is normal to take care of his wife and children, not to mention that I can still succeed to the throne, let alone care about the opinions of the outside." ”

Shen Jiahe took a sip of sweet soup, and saw that he was still staring at him, so he had to divert the topic and said, "How can I see that you don't have the excitement of being the emperor at all." ”

Pei Yuan thought for a while before replying: "I didn't think about being the emperor myself, I wasn't forced to come to this point, and now I'm full of you and the child, and I can't think about anything else." ”

After dinner, Pei Yuan carefully served Shen Jiahe to wash: "When I'm not there, you won't come to take a bath alone, this won't work, in the future, if I am not in the house that day, you still let Bai Ying come in to accompany you, if you accidentally slip ......"

Shen Jiahe interrupted him helplessly: "Bai Ying has already thought of these problems, isn't there a thick mat here, when I go to sleep, the next person will take out the mat to dry again." ”

"That's not good," Pei Yuan said seriously, "If you are not used to Bai Ying serving and washing, I will try to come back and take care of you as soon as possible in the future." ”

Shen Jiahe was hugged back to the bedroom by Pei Yuan with tears and laughter, and when he was lying on the bed, he saw Pei Yuan holding the quilt and going out, so he immediately sat up: "What are you going to do?" ”

Pei Yuan pointed outside: "I sleep outside, I'm afraid that I will kick you at night, if you get up at night and call me." ”

Shen Jiahe felt that Pei Yuan was too much: "You come back for me, I finally look forward to your return, maybe after you ascend the throne, I will have to separate the dormitory from you, and in the past few days, you will have to sleep separately from me." ”

Shen Jiahe's face was aggrieved, Pei Yuan had to turn around and come back to coax her: "Isn't this afraid of hurting you and the child!" Don't worry, even if I enter the palace, I won't live separately from you. ”

"Then you will fall asleep tonight," Seeing that Pei Yuan was about to refuse, Shen Jiahe immediately hugged him and said coquettishly; "You have to sleep outside when you're back, I won't be able to sleep, and if I stay up late, it will affect the child."

Pei Yuan had no choice but to lie down, but he still didn't dare to get too close to Shen Jiahe, Shen Jiahe was also worried that he would not be honest when he slept at night, so he didn't ask for more, and the two finally slept well.

Concubine Rong was still packing up the things she was going to take to the palace in the palace, and when she heard that there was nothing there, Concubine Rong was worried that the child would follow her and suffer, so she thought about bringing more things over.

She was directing the palace maid to clean up, but the nurse on the other side hurriedly ran over and said, "Niangniang, the little prince has chickenpox, go and take a look." ”

Chickenpox is a big deal, and a bad one will kill you, Rong Guifei hurriedly ran to the next room: "Have you gone to ask for a doctor?" ”

"I've already gone to please, it's been a while and it's time to come back." The nurse replied breathlessly.

Concubine Rong looked at the red pox on the little prince's face, she was very anxious, and was about to send someone to urge the imperial doctor, but the palace people who went out before would hurriedly run back again: "Niangniang, no one in the imperial hospital is willing to come, and the slaves and maids are invited three times and four times, but they either shirk something, or say that their medical skills are not good and they can't see this disease." ”

Concubine Rong just wanted to get angry, but she suddenly put away her anger, only turned her head to look at the child and whispered: "Go get some warm water, and then take some clean handkerchiefs and wipe them for the little prince." ”

"Niangniang, you ......" the nurse stopped talking.

Concubine Rong smiled bitterly: "Now that the dragon chair has been replaced, we, the concubines and princes of the previous dynasty, should have been in prison, how could those imperial doctors dare to come to see my child, if I can survive tonight, I will find a way tomorrow." ”

Concubine Rong personally looked at the little prince's bedside, there was no medicinal use, so she could only scrub his forehead, hands and feet with warm water over and over again, all night long.

At dawn on the second day, Concubine Rong rubbed her already stiff knees and wrists, and instructed the palace people: "Wash and change clothes for the palace, and the palace will go to see the new emperor in person." ”

Pei Yuan woke up before dawn, on the first day of the court, he must not be late, Shen Jiahe followed up and dressed him: "It's better to move to the palace, it's too hard for you to get up early every day." ”

Pei Yuan stretched out his hand to arrange his belt: "It's good to stay in the mansion before succeeding to the throne, and I am still a little reluctant to live here for so many years." ”

Shen Jiahe smiled: "That's right, when I think of going to the palace, I also feel a little unaccustomed." She straightened his collar and said, "I'll send you out." ”

"No," Pei Yuan helped her to the side of the bed, "You can sleep for a while, now that you are pregnant, you can't be too tired." ”

Pei Yuan stood in the center of the main hall and looked at the dragon chair for a long time and didn't sit on it, only asked the palace people to set him another table before the imperial case, and then began to announce that he would let the hundred officials enter the hall.

Pei Yuan has not yet ascended the throne, so it is understandable that after the hundred officials saluted as usual, someone came out and proposed: "Wechen heard that the prince let go of the former prince and his party, Wechen feels that this matter is inappropriate, as long as the former prince is there, I am afraid that the court will be unstable and the people's hearts will be unstable." ”

"This king has promised the Queen Mother that she will spare all innocent people, and the former crown prince Pei Shu and his brothers are all innocent people. There is no reason for this king to dispose of them. Pei Yuan looked at the man and said coldly.

Cheng Yiming also said: "The prince is benevolent, but I'm afraid that the former prince will have a grudge against the prince, and I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this to make trouble, so it's better to deal with it." ”

Pei Yuan knew that their words were reasonable, and he didn't want to lose his heart with them, so he said softly: "This king knows the worries of the Zhongqing family, but since this king has promised the queen mother, there is absolutely no reason to regret it, otherwise how can he win the trust of the people of the world in the future." ”

"What's more, they are all sons and nephews of this king." Pei Yuan looked at everyone and continued, "If this king only cares about stabilizing the country and the court, and does not care about indiscriminately killing innocents and mutilating relatives, then it is different from tyrants, and such an emperor is not what you want to assist." ”

"The prince is benevolent and righteous, and the ministers are ashamed!" All the officials said in unison.

Pei Hao also breathed a sigh of relief in it, and hurriedly took the initiative to take the lead in diverting the matter: "I don't know when the imperial brother is going to ascend the throne?" ”

Pei Yuan pondered for a moment and then ordered: "This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, let Qin Tianjian choose the nearest good day first, and then the Ministry of Rites will arrange the enthronement ceremony and then submit the specific matters to the king for reading, and then hand it over to King Ling to deal with after no problem." ”

The next court replied to the side: "Concubine Rong asked to see her outside, saying that it was a matter of human life. ”

Pei Yuan invited Concubine Rong into the hall to reply, and after listening to it, he immediately ordered: "Liuyu, go and ask Concubine Rong for a doctor!" ”

Concubine Rong prostrate on the ground: "The concubine thanked the prince." ”
