Empress Xian got up slowly, sat opposite Concubine Rong, and looked at her with a gloomy face: "Are you very proud, because the first emperor has always favored you." ”

"You said that you are pet, not love, on the contrary, the concubine has always been very envious of you, because you are the only one in the three palaces and six courtyards who is his wife," Rong Guifei said as her eyes dimmed, "He is different from you, but you can't see anything." ”

The first queen only felt that her tears could not be controlled, she turned her head to look at the emperor who was still lying there, only to feel that her heart felt like she had been slashed by a blunt knife, and there was no blood, but it was painful.

The small bag of crab roe in front of her was still steaming, and the first queen raised her hand to pick up one, and put the bun in her mouth amid the frightened voices of Concubine Rong and the imperial doctor.

She finished eating a whole bun, got up and straightened her clothes, flicked her hair in a bun at will, and lay down on the side of the emperor, her fingers intertwined with the emperor's fingers, and closed her eyes contentedly.

The imperial doctor looked at all this in astonishment, and after a long time, he knelt down and said to Concubine Rong: "The first queen committed suicide in fear of sin!" ”

Concubine Rong nodded, and after a long time, she slowly got up and ordered: "Collect the bodies of the former emperor and the former queen, and the palace will now immediately report this matter to the emperor." ”

Rong Guifei's handwritten letter mobile phone was rushed to Pei Yuan's bookcase overnight, Shen Jiahe saw him frowning and knew that something had happened in the palace at that time, but he didn't know that it was such a big thing: "Then what should I do now?" Do the first emperor and the first queen want to enter the imperial mausoleum? ”

Pei Yuan shook his head, first instructed the chief manager to summon Pei Hao to enter the palace as soon as possible, and then explained to Shen Jiahe: "I will bury them, but I will never let them enter the imperial mausoleum, I am afraid that this matter will have to be dealt with with Pei Hao for a long time, I will let the palace people send you back first." ”

When Shen Jiahe went back to the palace, Pei Hao hurried to the palace, and after reading all the letterheads of Concubine Rong, he was also very shocked: "The first queen is so bold. ”

Pei Yuan pinched his eyebrows: "It's really inconvenient for me to come forward in this matter, I will find a reason for you, and you will go to the palace to help Concubine Rong do it, although they are not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum, but the funeral must not be frugal, and in the future, it is good to give their descendants a place to sweep the tomb, and the silver will come out of my private treasury." ”

Speaking of descendants, Pei Hao pondered for a moment and said: "It's not impossible for me to go, but I and him are brothers, do you look at their children, King Kang?" ”

"I can't say," Pei Yuan raised his head and looked at Pei Hao and explained to him: "My mother killed my father, this matter is really unacceptable, let's hide it first, and then talk about it when you can't hide it, you can also explain this matter to Concubine Rong when you go to the palace." ”

Pei Hao nodded and agreed, and was just about to say goodbye and go back, Pei Yuan instructed again: "Concubine Rong wrote a letter saying that she wanted to be ordained a monk, and she guarded the tomb of the former emperor in the palace by the way. ”

Things were arranged like this, and the people who knew in the court were also kept silent by Pei Yuansan, and Concubine Rong Guifei changed the palace into a temple, and she was to participate in meditation and chant Buddha all day long, and occasionally go back to burn paper money for the emperor and the queen.

Pei Shu wrote a greeting letter to the palace a few years ago, and Concubine Rong could only imitate the handwriting of the former emperor and write a reply to him, and then took Pei Shu's letter to the tomb and burned it to the emperor.

Approaching the New Year's Festival, all parts of the country also have to pay tribute to the capital, this year Jintai's father sent his son, Jintai's younger brother Yongzhen instead of himself and the envoys to Beijing to offer.

Yongzhen went out for the first time, and was dazzled by some prosperity along the road, stopping to eat, drink and have fun along the way, and the original half-month trip made him drag on for a month.

The accompanying envoys could only urge bitterly: "Little master, if you go late, Princess Jintai will definitely worry about you, or when we finish paying tribute, you will have a good time on the way back." ”

In this way, Yongzhen finally sped up some steps and rushed to the official road post not far from the capital, and he would be able to enter Beijing in less than two days.

Jintai received a letter from his father early in the morning, but now he has not arrived, even if the road is not easy to walk in winter, it is too slow and outrageous.

Jintai was in a hurry all day, and if he had nothing to do, he sent someone to inquire if there was a team to pay tribute to Beijing, Pei Hao had to comfort: "Even if it is a few days late, the emperor will not be blamed if he wants to come, you can rest assured." ”

Jintai couldn't rest assured: "It's one thing to be late for the tribute, I'm worried that there will be no danger on his way, he is the first time to go far away, in case he encounters the kind of robbery in the rivers and lakes, wouldn't it be troublesome." ”

"If you're really not at ease, I'll let the people from the Yuan Pavilion pick it up, if they go out, there will be news soon." Pei Hao comforted, and then went to order a few people in his mansion.

It has been several days since the day of the tribute, Jintai couldn't sit still, and went to the palace to ask Pei Yuan in person: "My brother is still on the road now, no matter what the reason, it is my brother's fault, and please ask the emperor to forgive my brother for my sake." ”

Pei Yuan raised his hand and motioned for her to get up first: "Your younger brother is entering Beijing for the first time, and he can be forgiven for being a little reckless, but it is not the first time that the envoys who follow him have done things, the master does not know the severity, but the subordinates do not follow the persuasion, and these subordinates should still be punished." ”

Jintai felt that this was reasonable, and nodded: "What the emperor said, when my first brother and envoys arrive, I will also teach them a good lesson." ”

Yongzhen and the others would have been able to see Pei Yuan two days later, but on the night of their stay at the post station, they met a thief, and a lot of tribute was lost in one night.

The envoys who followed did not dare to continue to enter the capital to pay tribute, and Yongzhen only knew at this time how many mistakes he had made, if he did not stop on the road and advanced directly into the capital, this kind of thing would definitely not happen.

When the people of the Yuan Pavilion passed by, they inquired several times and knew that they were going to pay tribute to the capital, and after learning that the items were missing, they immediately contacted the forces outside the capital of the Yuan Pavilion.

However, all the lost items were recovered in half a day, and after the Yuan Pavilion put the things back in place, he didn't say hello to Yongzhen, and went back to Ling Wang's Mansion to resume his life.

"It's good to come to pay tribute, but there are a lot of people who have come to pay tribute in the past two days, so I don't know if it's the princess's younger brother." The secret guard of the Far Pavilion replied.

Jintai carefully asked the other party's dress and age, and directly affirmed: "It's my younger brother who is right, when he arrives in the capital, I will teach him a good lesson!" ”

Yongzhen originally wanted to take the envoy to King Ling's Mansion to ask his sister for help, but when he went to count the offerings in the afternoon, he found that the things were lost and recovered: "What is going on?" ”

"The little master is favored by heaven again, this is the manifestation of the gods, the manifestation of the gods!" The envoys were very happy, and as long as the offerings were still there, it would be a little late.

Yongzhen swaggered through the market with envoys and offerings, and the streets were made chaotic, Jing Zhaoyin dispatched government soldiers to maintain order, and Zhou Qian, who opened the door to do business, looked straight and sighed: "Young people nowadays are really unbearable, and they will show off." ”

When Yongzhen arrived at the palace gate, the people in the palace went to pass the word to the chief manager, at this time Pei Yuan was accompanying Shen Jiahe to tease the parrot, and after listening to the chief manager's message, he took Shen Jiahe to the main hall to meet the envoys.

"On the way, I missed the time to pay tribute, and I almost made a big mistake, Yongzhen, do you know the mistake?" Pei Yuan asked sharply.

After Yongzhen performed a ritual of his own clan, he replied respectfully: "I know my mistake, and I ask the emperor to calm his anger." ”

Although he is Jintai's younger brother, he made such a big mistake, and Shen Jiahe also felt that he should teach him a lesson, so he didn't help him intercede when he sat aside.

Pei Yuan instructed the chief steward to take the envoys to put the offerings into the warehouse, and then prepared to take Yongzhen to the imperial study to speak, but before he could leave, he heard the palace people tell him that King Ling was asking to see him outside.

Pei Hao originally planned to come to see Yongzhen again tomorrow, but the movement Yongzhen made on the street was too big, and even Pei Niting in King Ling's mansion knew about it, and learned that he had come to the palace to pay tribute to Pei Yuan, so he had to come and see what he said.

Pei Hao couldn't be entangled, so he had to come with Pei Niting and Jintai, and after saluting, he explained to Pei Yuan: "Pei Niting said that she wanted to see her aunt's younger brother, and the younger brother brought people over. ”

Jintai grabbed Yongzhen's ear and reprimanded: "You are no longer a child, but you are still greedy for fun, do you know that if it weren't for the help of the prince this time, you would have been in a big disaster." ”

Being treated like this in front of everyone's eyes, Yongzhen felt that he really didn't have any face left, struggled to move to the side, and waved Jintai's hand away with one hand: "You said that I am not a child anymore, I heard everything you said, didn't I already admit my mistake to the emperor!" ”

Shen Jiahe had no choice but to relieve the two sisters and brothers on the side and said: "Yongzhen knows that she is wrong, and the emperor has already said her, if you continue to say it, it's over!" ”

"Knowing mistakes can improve greatly, and I think Yongzhen will never make such mistakes again in the future." Pei Hao also spoke for Yongzhen on the side.

Pei Yuan originally planned to set up a banquet in the palace to entertain Yongzhen, but when he saw that Jintai and Pei Hao were also there, he invited: "You guys also stay and dine together, Jintai and Yongzhen haven't seen each other for a long time, and they should have a lot to say." ”

When the dinner party was arranged, Yongzhen wanted to sit with Jintai: "Sister, we haven't seen each other for so long, don't you want to talk to me?" ”

Jintai, who had not yet lost his breath, snorted coldly, twisted his head, and Pei Niting on the side sat down next to Jintai and took Yongzhen's hand and said, "Uncle, you sit next to Tingting, Tingting really wants to hear you tell you stories on the grassland!" ”

There was a little bean Ding sitting between the two, Jintai didn't say anything, Yongzhen sat down honestly and said to Pei Niting with a smile: "The story on the grassland is really endless, if Tingting likes it, when you have time, Uncle will take you to us to play." ”

Jintai on the side snorted coldly: "Tingting should be careful, if you let Uncle Yongzhen take you, maybe I will lose you halfway." ”

Yongzhen smiled wryly, and reached out through Tingting and poked Jintai's arm: "I know it's wrong, don't talk about it, Tingting is still a child, don't talk nonsense." ”

When Tingting heard Yongzhen's words, she looked at him with a smile and said, "Uncle won't lose Tingting, Tingting believes in Uncle Hu." Then he turned his head to look at Jintai, shook her arm and said, "Don't be angry, aunt is not beautiful when she is angry, aren't aunts and uncles sisters and brothers?" My aunt always told Tingting to take care of the little brother in the queen's aunt's womb in the future, but my aunt also had to love my uncle. ”

Pei Hao smiled on the side: "Tingting just asked you to set an example for her, don't let her learn badly." ”

Jin Tai also laughed out loud, reached out and pinched Pei Niting's smiling face: "You, you're a ghost." ”

Then he glanced at the rice bowl in front of Yongzhen, and instructed Gong Ren: "My brother eats a lot, you can change to a bigger bowl." ”

Yongzhen was happy in his heart, this is to forgive himself, and hurriedly thanked Jintai: "Thank you, sister." ”

Pei Niting looked at the big bowl that the palace people gave to Yongzhen and noisily wanted an identical one, Jintai smiled and teased her: "Uncle can eat this bowl full of rice, can Tingting?" ”

Pei Niting patted her stomach: "Tingting can also do it." ”

Pei Hao had no choice but to let the palace people serve the same big bowl, Jintai didn't give her too much rice, but Pei Niting still picked up the big bowl and ate it in a big gulp like Yongzhen, which made everyone at the table laugh for a while.
