The queen mother took a few eunuchs and palace maids and a team of guards back to Cining Palace from the outside, stopped in front of the palace gate, the guards dispersed, and the queen mother was about to take the palace maid into the palace but saw the princess of Luoyang come out of the palace.

Princess Luoyang knelt down to the Queen Mother and said: Biyun meets the Queen Mother.

The queen mother hurriedly stepped forward and dragged her up and said in surprise: When did my sister come, why didn't you inform my sister in advance?

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang smiled and said: I decided to come to Beijing temporarily, so I didn't come and informed the Queen Mother, hoping that the Queen Mother would forgive me.

The queen mother smiled and said: My sister can come to see me, it's too late for me to be happy, what's the crime, go, let's talk in the palace.

After that, he pulled Princess Luoyang and walked towards the palace.

After entering the palace, the Queen Mother pulled Princess Luoyang to sit on the bed, and then asked with concern: Sister, I see that you are in a hurry to come to Beijing this time, what are you doing?

Princess Luoyang sighed lightly and said: Isn't it for the sake of the child?

After a moment's pause, he continued: First, I came to intercede with the emperor for my unangry son; The second is to ask the Queen Mother for a favor for Ying'er's marriage.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was stunned and asked: What's the matter, Hong'er has an accident?

Princess Luoyang said: There is a murder case, the son of the prefect of Luoyang killed two people, Hong'er also has a share, the son of the prefect of Luoyang has been executed by Li Zhixian, Hong'er because it is my son, Li Zhixian did not move him in my face, but this is only temporary, if there is no amnesty decree issued by the emperor, Li Zhixian will definitely arrest Hong'er for questioning, so my sister is cheeky to enter the palace to beg the emperor, the queen mother, help my sister.

Hearing this, the queen mother said angrily: Hong'er is too good at messing around, and she actually killed people, this is a big case, I don't know if the emperor can agree to pardon.

Princess Luoyang said: I have given generous compensation to the family of the deceased, and they have agreed not to pursue the matter, and Li Zhixian of Luoyang has also promised that as long as the emperor decrees to pardon Hong'er's crime, he will not pursue it anymore. Sister, help my sister, my sister is such a son, once she is asked about the capital crime, my sister can't live anymore.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I'll tell the emperor, maybe the emperor will agree to pardon Hong'er's capital crime, Hong'er must be a royal family."

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang said happily: Thank you Queen Mother, thank you sister.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said: Sister is not polite, no matter how you say that we are also sisters, can my sister care if my sister has something.

After that, he paused, and asked again: By the way, what did my sister say about Ying'er's marriage just now?

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang did not directly answer Empress Dowager Li's question, but asked: Empress Dowager, I heard Ying'er say, Li Zhixian in Luoyang is your righteous son?

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded and said: Yes, Li Zhixian is my adopted son, why did my sister ask about this?

After speaking, he was suddenly startled and seemed to understand, so he asked: Sister, the marriage you just said about Ying'er won't have something to do with Li Zhixian, right?

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang smiled and said: Yes, Ying'er likes Li Zhixian very much, Li Zhixian also likes Ying'er very much, I think the two of them are very compatible and agreed, one of them is the county lord, and the other is the queen mother's righteous son, and the marriage can't be hasty, so I came to Beijing to discuss with my sister, and I want the emperor to give the next marriage decree.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was stunned and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Princess Luoyang asked strangely: Queen Mother, what ------ wrong with you?

The queen mother came back to her senses, turned her head to look around, and saw several palace maids and eunuchs standing around, so she raised her hand and waved to them: You go down, you are not allowed to come in without a summons.

Hearing this, everyone responded in unison: Yes, Queen Mother.

After that, they all walked out, and then closed the two palace doors.

The Queen Mother looked at Princess Luoyang and hesitated for a moment before saying: Sister, the two of them can't get married.

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang was taken aback and asked in a lost voice: What, why is this ------?

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was embarrassed and said: Alas! Let me tell you.

Princess Luoyang said anxiously: Queen Mother, what's going on?

Then he guessed: Queen Mother, are you not a good match for the two of them?

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "That's not it, it's ------

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking again, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Princess Luoyang and said seriously: Sister, this matter is too important, I can't say it.

Princess Luoyang said hurriedly: Queen Mother, but you have to give me a reason, otherwise I won't be able to convince Ying'er and Li Zhixian, if I can't convince them, this marriage can't be stopped.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother thought for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and said: Okay, I'll tell my sister, but sister, you must not tell anyone after listening to it, otherwise there may be chaos in the world.

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang was shocked and said: Queen Mother, is it so serious?

The Empress Dowager nodded, and after a deep sigh, she said: "Sister, do you remember when I followed the emperor on his northern tour?"

Princess Luoyang said: Remember, eighteen years ago, the emperor toured the north, when you were eight or nine months pregnant, the emperor was afraid that it would not be safe to leave you alone in the palace, so he took you with him, and as a result, you gave birth to the emperor on the way to the north.

The Queen Mother nodded and said: Yes, I gave birth to the emperor on the way to the Northern Tour, but you don't know that I gave birth to not one at that time, but a couple, oh, to be exact, I gave birth to a child and a meat ball.

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang was so shocked that she changed her face and said: What ------, a child and a meat ------ ball?

The Queen Mother nodded and said: At that time, the emperor and I thought that the meat ball was a freak and not a child, so I ordered the midwife to take it out and throw it away, and then the more I thought about it, the more inappropriate it became, if the meat ball was wrapped in a child, then wouldn't it be equivalent to killing one of my own sons with my own hands.

Princess Luoyang hurriedly waved her hand and said: No, that meat ball must not be a child, I have heard of such things, for example, some women have given birth to molar pregnancy.

Hearing this, the queen mother said sadly: Sister, on the contrary, the meat ball is a child, the midwife discarded the meat ball in a ditch outside Tiangui Town, just an old woodcutter surnamed Li walked back through the ditch after selling firewood in the town, he heard a child's cry from the ditch, so he followed the sound to find it, and then found the meat ball, and then used a firewood knife to cut the meat ball and found the child. So he took the child home and raised him as an adult, and later the child entered the Beijing scientific examination, won the first place, and was softly named by the emperor as the magistrate of Luoyang County, Li Zhixian of Luoyang is actually another biological son of mine, he and Ying'er are cousins, so they can't get married.

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang's body trembled violently, and she almost fell from the bed to the ground, and after calming down, she said: Queen Mother, how can you be sure that Li Zhixian is your meat ball child, is there any evidence?

The Queen Mother nodded and said: This is also a coincidence, Ying Long offended Ying'er somehow before the scientific expedition, Ying'er tricked him into the palace in order to retaliate against him, and then left him alone in the imperial garden, Ying'er wanted him to break into the palace, and then was killed by the palace guards as an assassin. I saw that he looked like Heng'er was very imaginary, so he let him enter the palace to talk for a while, in the conversation I knew his hometown and posture, I was very excited, but I was not sure that he was my meat ball child, so I asked him if he had any proof of origin, because when he threw the meat ball, it was wrapped in a piece of the emperor's clothes, and there was a piece of jade pendant that the emperor carried, and he told me that there was a yellow satin dress and a jade pendant, And that jade pendant was worn around his neck, and he took it off for me to see, it was the jade pendant of the former emperor, and I was sure that he was my other son.

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang asked in shock: Queen Mother, does Li Zhixian know about this?

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: I didn't recognize him, he didn't know about it.

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang asked strangely: Queen Mother, why don't you recognize him?

The Queen Mother said: I can't admit it, in the order of life, Ying Long is the elder brother, he is the real heir to the throne, and now Heng'er has succeeded to the throne for several years, and the ministers in the court also recognize him as the emperor, if I recognize Ying Long, Heng'er will give way or not.

After speaking, he paused, and then said: Even if Ying Longzhai is kind-hearted and does not fight for the throne with his younger brother, but can the ministers in the court get through, it is not clear that the court and the central government will split into two major forces, and it will even evolve into a battle for the throne, if this happens, the world will not be in chaos.

Hearing this, Princess Luoyang seemed to have an understanding: That's why the Queen Mother accepted Li Zhixian as her righteous son as compensation for him.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: I have two purposes for accepting Ying Long as a righteous son, one is to compensate him; The second is to see my poor son more.

Princess Luoyang sighed and said: Alas! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

After that, he was suddenly stunned for a moment and exclaimed: Oh no, Ying'er and Li Zhixian already have a deep relationship, I ------ how can I tell her.

The Queen Mother nodded and said: Sister, this is really a problem, you can't break them apart if you don't tell the truth, but you can't tell the truth.

Princess Luoyang said anxiously: What should I do then?

Hearing this, the Queen Mother said helplessly: Alas! Creation makes people, there is no way, you can only take one step at a time.
