"The glory and fall of the world are re-patrolling, and I sit in the four springs in Duqiu Garden" Since ancient times, the king has been defeated and defeated, often in an instant. Inside the Xuanzheng Palace, compared with ordinary times, it became more and more cold, and I don't know when it started outside the hall, and it rained slightly. Emperor Yuan Yi sat upright, as in the past, reviewing the recitals that came from all over the country.

"The green robe is like grass every year, and the white hair is like silk, and it is new every day." After speaking, I saw Emperor Xiaoming writing this emotional sentence on a blank piece of rice paper. His face was very heavy, and he did not seem to be as exuberant as the verses he described.

Outside the Taihe Palace, I saw a woman dressed gorgeously, and the top of the pearl jade was filled with a jar of red pearl swimming dragons on a green wood end plate, which probably contained soup and other foods and was walking towards the Xuanzheng Hall step by step. Judging by her age of thirteen, fourteen or five, she should be the concubine of Emperor Ming, and there should have been one or two palace maids behind her, but no one followed her.

When he walked to the corner around the Xuanzheng Palace, he was suddenly intercepted by a man in white. Looking at this person closely, he was dressed in simple clothes and had no other clothes, and judging from his careful and meticulous appearance, he probably had been waiting for her here for a long time. "This is not the place to talk, come with me," he said, and Wu Yazi dragged her to a corner of the palace that was rarely visited

"Brother, why are you here" Pan Chonghua looked around cautiously, fortunately, there was no one around, although there were guards standing guard around the palace, but she was the concubine of Emperor Ming, and she would naturally not be required to be strictly investigated when entering and leaving the palace. And she doesn't have the habit of taking a handmaid, and even if she does, she will be away from her for a long time. "The Queen Mother's side"

"The emperor wants to raise troops, do you know" Wu Yazi looked at this sister who had been with him for decades with a serious face. Since the Pan family was framed and lonely by the Gongshu people and other small people, Pan Yingziyang begged him to take her away from this sad place, but at that time, what Wuyazi was thinking about was hatred, in order to take revenge, he did not hesitate to let his sister serve the king, and now, Pan Chonghua is ten months pregnant, and he has been named a nobleman, and since then the court has been deeply separated from each other.

"So what" Pan Chonghua touched his belly that was about to give birth, to be honest, now, it is not a good choice. However, she had already resigned herself to her fate and wanted to follow the emperor.

Her words were full of coldness, before, Ying Zi would not treat him like this, Wu Yazi dragged her with a look of disbelief, put his hands on Pan Chonghua's shoulders, and only felt that his current sister was far away from her, "What is that, do you already know" Pan Chonghua blinked coldly, and then shifted his gaze to another place. "You know"

"Then why doesn't my brother know!" As she spoke, Pan Yingzi looked at Wuyazi with a sad face. "So, the Queen Mother also knows." Suddenly, she felt a shock in her heart, this matter, even she told her only when Emperor Ming had expected it, no wonder, no wonder Wu Yazi would come to her, want to take her away, want to come to this matter, it is no secret.

Gradually, the hands on her shoulders gradually began to slip, and Wu Yazi was full of lost condensation. Pan Yingzi grabbed the innocent expression with a panicked face and said, "Really? Brother, you tell me, you tell me."

"The Queen Mother knows, she plans to kill Your Majesty, and now, the person who sent the poisonous wine has gone" Wu Yazi finished coldly, and then he pulled Pan Yingzi's hand tightly like crazy and said, "Yingzi, I'll take you away, let's escape!" The reason why the Queen Mother has made all plans is because you are pregnant now, and once you give birth to the child, you will die, and he will not live. ”

"No, no" Pan Chonghua said that he didn't believe anything, the emperor, no matter how he said it, is also the son of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother Hu will not kill her own children. She only felt a chill behind her, this feeling was very bad, and it gave people a very terrifying feeling, "Your Majesty, she is the only child of the Queen Mother, how can her mother hurt her own child"

"Yingzi, don't be stupid, while no one notices you yet, come with me! This is the palace, and it is about to face a storm" said, Wu Yazi dragged Pan Yingzi, who was stunned in place and couldn't bear to leave, so he angrily pointed to the direction of the Xuanzheng Palace, "This is the palace that kills people without blinking, and what is imprisoned here is the supreme power of the world, don't try to use your so-called family affection to impress the queen mother, the heavenly family is not the same as the people, here fathers, sons, and brothers will kill each other, don't be naïve"

"My brother has already lost you once, I don't want to lose the second time, if I knew that killing the Gongshu people would avenge my father and mother and take my only sister, my father and mother would not be comfortable under Jiuquan"

The droplets of water falling along the eaves are getting bigger and bigger, and the sky is falling closely, and the drizzle is not as soft as before, but pierces people's hearts like needles.

"Brother, let's go! Daddy won't blame you, and I won't blame you, just fate," she slowly reached out of the eaves, clearly feeling the strength of the rain hitting her skin.

The jade face is dry, the hibiscus is reflected, and the center of the eyebrows is the frost of ice and jade. I saw the light rain murmuring, and the wisps of cold accompanied by the rhythm of the water disappeared from sight little by little.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, in the resplendent place, Emperor Xiaoming is still sitting at the table conscientiously reviewing the twists and turns from all over the place, standing next to him this beautiful woman dressed in light pink like peach blossoms, this is Emperor Ming's newly sealed Chonghua Zhu, at this moment she is standing on the side of the emperor and raising the Qianqian jade finger for the emperor grinding.

This is probably the first time Pan Chonghua has seen the emperor's newly sealed sister! She glanced at the past, probably in response to Li Yannian's sentence "There are beautiful women in the north." Peerless and independent. A look at the city. Then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country. Beautiful women are hard to come by. "It's a rare sight.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty is here" Just took two steps, the two guards standing at the gate of the palace stood in unison towards the center of the door, and then a guard stopped her with a slight request, and then the emperor waved his hand, and the guards dispersed.

"Concubine Ai is here, come here, I am here" I felt that Emperor Xiaoming suddenly took off a heavy shackle and looked at the door of the palace, and he didn't feel that he was pleasant, which may be in the harem, and it was not seen by many concubines.

"Your Majesty" said, Pan Chonghua walked towards the center of the hall step by step with the lunch box in both hands, and saw Emperor Ming walking towards her like seeing a flower.

Er Zhu Ying'e stood in place, stopped what she was busy with, put her hands habitually in front of her abdomen, looked at Emperor Ming's childlike appearance, and looked at Pan Chonghua's very satisfied look, she couldn't help twisting her lips and smiled slightly, and the eunuch next to her had quickly taken over the end plate in her hand.

Before Pan Chonghua walked to the center of the hall, Emperor Ming had already rushed to her, "It's still raining so heavily outside, why don't you let the maids do it, you have to send it yourself, what if you fall!" ”

"The concubine is fine" said that the two of them were like ordinary couples, and Emperor Ming helped Pan Chonghua step by step to the table and chairs in the hall.

Seeing that Erzhu was standing very restrainedly on the side of the corner of Emperor Ming's table, Pan Chonghua looked at her with a little ridicule, "No wonder Your Majesty refuses to come to the palace of the concubine, it turns out that there is a sister here, no wonder Your Majesty can reluctantly review the folds here."

Emperor Ming saw the sour voice in Pan Chonghua's words, and couldn't help laughing, "I haven't seen you for a few days, the tone of the concubine is getting more and more powerful" As he spoke, he took Erzhu's hand and walked to Pan Yingzi's side.

"I have long heard that my sister is full of poetry and books, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation" said, Er Zhu Ying'e squatted slightly towards Pan Chonghua and saluted, and then said to Emperor Xiaoming, "Your Majesty, the concubine is a little unwell, and the concubine is retired" After speaking, she bowed to Emperor Xiaoming again and slowly disappeared into the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Is this what Your Majesty said about the daughter of Erzhurong of the Qihu clan?" Pan Chonghua asked with a serious face

"Yes!" Emperor Xiaoming looked at Erzhu Ying'e's back, and meticulously showed the process of getting along with Erzhu Ying'e for so long. Since Er Zhu Ying'e was promoted to Chonghua, he can still clearly remember Er Zhu Ying'e's fearless expression when Chongming took her to Luohua Palace, and now, still, other women in the palace are dependent on the emperor's favor to live, and she seems to have reached a partnership with Emperor Ming from the beginning.

"Your Majesty, Erzhu Ying'e has arrived" said, Chongming brought the fourteen-year-old Erzhu Ying'e to Emperor Ming's eyes, and saw Erzhu Ying'e for the first time, although this girl was dressed like an ordinary palace maid, there was no trace of fear in her eyes to see the emperor, but it was a very strong firmness.

"Slave maid see Your Majesty" said, Er Zhu Ying'e knelt in front of Emperor Xiaoming's luggage, her head was so low that she could barely look at it. Yuan Yi walked over and gently lifted her chin with a folding fan, although Er Zhu Ying'e's appearance was delicate and unremarkable, it could be described as a rare beauty in the world, and Emperor Ming didn't seem to be tempted.

As he spoke, Emperor Ming folded his fan and waved his back to Er Zhuyan and said to her, "From now on, this place is yours, tell me, what is your name" As he spoke, he turned to stare at her

"Slave, Erzhu Ying'e" said, Erzhu Ying'e got up slowly, she looked at Emperor Ming quietly, and seemed to be very puzzled.

"Don't understand? I don't understand," said Emperor Xiaoming, and said to Chongming, "Pass the order, I will rest here tonight", and he said to Erzhu Ying'e, "You will serve you"

For a while, the Luohua Palace couldn't help but get busy, Emperor Xiaoming calmly leaned on the table and chair with an ancient book and looked at it, probably having seen too many such things, and every day it was almost a different person. As for Erzhu Ying'e, this is the first time, several maids rushed from outside the door at once to surround her, she was like a lamb to the slaughter, she was pushed and pushed by these maids for a while, bathing for a while, removing her hair for a while, changing clothes, and finally they put on a thin nightdress for her and retreated one by one. Suddenly, there were only two people in the dormitory, her and Emperor Ming.

After Emperor Xiaoming saw everyone retreating, he glanced at Er Zhu Ying'e, who was fixed next to the bed, if it was an ordinary palace maid, even if the concubines who asked for the bed were notified in advance, they would not stare at him so directly, "You are bold but very big"

"If Your Majesty's honor for the concubine is because of the concubine's father, Your Majesty might as well say it," said Er Zhu Ying'e looking at him with wide eyes, her body lightly exuding the smell of the petals of the bath just now. The washing place is in this dormitory, she is surrounded by everyone, and Emperor Ming is lying on the side and reading the book intently, as if waiting for her, more about her.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong" Seeing that Emperor Ming had been staring intently at a certain place, Pan Chonghua shook him

"It's okay" said, Emperor Ming patted her hand, signaling her to squeeze out a smile with confidence. Originally, she wanted to tell the emperor that the Empress Dowager already knew that he wanted to unite with Qihu to besiege the imperial capital, but before she could say anything, the Empress Dowager's guards had already rushed into the Xuanzheng Palace.

"What are you doing" Before the guards outside the door finished speaking, the blood-red knife had already crossed through, and then these people swaggered into the Xuanzheng Palace, and said to Emperor Xiaoming, "The Empress Dowager Yizhi, there are assassins in the palace to make trouble, in order to protect Your Majesty's safety, from today onwards, Your Majesty must not take this step, and all affairs will be moved to the Zhengguang Hall to be handled by the Empress Dowager herself" After speaking, these people have already exhausted the water around the Xuanzheng Palace.

Three days later, Er Zhurong's army invaded the city of Henan, but the spies who came back from outside Luoyang heard that Emperor Ming had fallen ill and died, and the government above the court was presided over by Empress Dowager Hu. On the next day, the son of Pan's Chonghua, who was officially publicized to the outside world, was officially established as emperor.

What Empress Dowager Hu didn't expect was that she thought that by getting rid of Emperor Ming, she would be able to set up another young emperor, and then continue her ruling dynasty. But Emperor Ming died early in the prime of life, to solve the prince, this has become a difficult thing for the Queen Mother, Emperor Ming's harem has more than 100 fans, but the children are scattered, and there is only one newborn princess Yuan girl.

"Queen Mother, Pan Chonghua is born" After speaking, the big eunuch said with some unspeakability.

He trembled and didn't dare to speak out, because he knew that at this juncture, if he was a prince, naturally nothing would happen, and the fate of this child, from the moment he was born, was destined to become the emperor and ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan. But unfortunately, fate gave birth to a girl.

After sitting upright in the position of power for a long time, even the last trace of humanity in my heart has disappeared. "Is it a man or a woman," Hu Hou was already very bored and wanted to know what her next step should be.

"Yes, it's a princess" After the big eunuch finished speaking, he saw that the Empress Dowager Hu fell down without a master, sat on the chair stiffly, and made an extremely complaining voice, "This is God is going to kill me!" After a long time, she didn't breathe, because she knew what it meant to her that without a prince, the emperor was dead.

I saw that her eyes were bloodshot and resentful, clenching the armrest, "Who said that it was the princess, the order went down, Emperor Ming died of illness at a young age, God was dying, the imperial concubine Pan was pregnant, and gave birth to the prince today."

The kingdom shall not be without a king for a day,

The people, do not live without a day.

From now on, the prince will ascend the throne as the emperor", said the great eunuch immediately announced the decree to the outside world. After holding the Yuan girl in the Zhengguang Hall and reading the holy decree to the ministers, the Queen Mother sat on the dragon chair in shock, the ministers dispersed one by one, the baby in her arms kept crying, and the Queen Mother sat completely sluggish and did not find the slightest.

After returning from the Zhengguang Palace, the fear that the Empress Dowager Hu had never had began at this moment, the news that the princess was not the prince, and it would not be too long to conceal it, once the courtiers and generals knew, not to mention how the princes of the Quartet would react, but the courtiers alone could reprimand her silently. The baby in the palace maid's arms couldn't stop crying, and Empress Dowager Hu was also thoughtfully worried about her next fate.

"Child, child" On the bed, the pregnant woman who had just given birth to the princess had no strength, looking at her child with a pale face, and her mouth was full of broken thoughts. "Please, give me back the child, this is His Majesty's only child"

Pan Chonghua's pale face wept silently, Emperor Ming died, and nothing was left for her, only this daughter who could be used as a memorial, but unfortunately, she was powerless to protect the last bloodline of Emperor Ming.

Wu Yazi was so distressed when she saw her sister so naturally, but Empress Dowager Hu ordered that no one should go to see the child, the child kept crying, and finally there was obviously no sound in his throat, from birth to now, the child did not eat anything, and she was taken away by the eunuch before she even had time to look at her child.

After Empress Dowager Hu came down from the court, Pan Chonghua couldn't hold on and climbed down from the bed, if she didn't feed the child, it was estimated that the child would starve to death, this is the only bloodline of Emperor Ming, even if it was a death, she had to fight to the death.

"Queen Mother, please, can you give me back the child?" I saw Pan Chonghua's haggard and pale cheeks, a little infiltrating, I saw her clutching the corners of the queen mother's clothes and begging bitterly, just before giving birth, she was weak and weak, sweat stains penetrated her clothes, even if anyone was not careful or the breeze gently helped her to fall to the ground.

"What kind of thing is not angry, what face do you have to stand here" Empress Dowager Hu kicked her out far away with a disgusted kick. From the look in his eyes, he could see that Wu Yazi was very sorry, and he tried to help his sister.

Thinking that Pan Chonghua was born a girl, Empress Dowager Hu was so angry that she had nowhere to go, and now she was begging and making noise non-stop, which made her even more angry.

"The mourning family pinned all their efforts on you, but you treated the mourning family like this." She ignored and angrily scolded Pan Chonghua, who had just given birth.

"Queen Mother, the concubine knows that she is wrong, it's just a child, from birth to now, she has not yet dropped milk" Pan Chonghua held the gorgeous palace clothes of the Empress Dowager Hu like a knife and said, "Queen Mother, this is the only child of the emperor, and it is also your own grandson, think about her calling you grandma in the future, snuggling in your arms to peel your spore melon and honor you, Queen Mother, please be merciful, let the princess eat!" ”

Pan Chonghua begged so hard, and Empress Dowager Hu finally moved to allow her to hug the child she had never seen before. Seeing that the child's hoarse voice could no longer cry and scream, I don't know why, being held in the arms of the mother, the child finally stopped crying, and she instinctively reacted to untie the placket and let the child breastfeed.

"This kid, he is already the emperor of my Northern Wei Dynasty, so you." Hearing the news, Pan Chonghua's heart suddenly stopped, but she knew that her fate was no longer up to her. All of this was already set in stone the moment she entered the palace.

"This child bears an identity and status that ordinary people can't get, but he was born in the emperor's family, and he was born at the wrong time, and he mourned his misfortune" After breastfeeding the child, she looked at the sleeping baby sleeping in her arms with full of application eyes. turned all the things she couldn't do into layers of sustenance.

"After I die, I implore the Queen Mother to take good care of my child, if in the end, her secret is discovered, and I also ask the Queen Mother to give her a good home" Before the words were finished, I saw that the white silk in the hands of the big eunuch was firmly on her neck.

"Queen Mother" said, and Wu Yazi knelt down with tears in his eyes

"Brother, that's it, this is my life" Her pale face tugged at Wuyazi's white dress, and then the eunuch pulled the rope hard, and her voice became smaller and smaller

But she still didn't forget to tell about the future of the princess, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she saw her face red and choked, but she vaguely heard "take care of the princess"

"Forget it, although the ancestor has a will, but there are exceptions, you don't have to die, the princess's fate is already doomed, as for what, you know very well" I saw that the Empress Dowager Hu waved her armrest, and the big eunuch immediately stopped, Pan Chonghua fell to the ground weakly, covering his red neck, and inhaling the air deeply.

The Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to prevent the emperor's mother from being autocratic after the emperor's death, and the death of the son's noble mother, has always retained such a tradition. It wasn't until Empress Dowager Hu that there was such an exception.

Looking at this baby waiting to be fed, she couldn't help but think of when she was a concubine, she was looked down upon and not taken seriously. Mother and son are also because of the child Emperor Ming, and gradually she regained the favor of Emperor Xuanwu, and spent that period of silence, and her good luck followed.

In December of the fourth year of Yanchang, in 515 AD, Emperor Xuanwu died, and his six-year-old son Yuanyi was passed on to the throne, and the emperor's younger brother Gaoyang Wang Yuanyong entered Xibaitang to deal with government affairs, and appointed Yuancheng, the king of the city, to assist in government affairs. Although these ministers' in-laws are to assist the emperor, after all, the emperor is young, and many things are easy to be misled and seduced.
