The twilight is low, the evening breeze is light, and when it comes to the palm lamp, the heat is much less than in the daytime. In the third quarter of Youzheng, Jiang Chong touched the secret letter in his arms, and he was in a very good mood.

Jiang Chong's residence is not far from Tingwei's Mansion, it is an extremely ordinary house, and it is only two streets to the west and then turn a corner. When he arrived at the house, the sky had completely darkened, Jiang Chong pushed the door in, took out the velvet and lit the fire, and the originally dark house suddenly lit up.

In the light, Jiang Chong took out the secret letter in his arms and carefully unfolded it under the lamp. This is a fine white silk, on which several lines of small seals are written beautifully, and Jiang Chong read it carefully.

"Brother, Yan'er thought about it and knew that what her brother said was true. The crown prince has been disliked by His Majesty, and reprimanded him for not being like himself, my son is not only for Emperor Yao's life, but also for my brother to plan for Fuling in the future, plan for Yan'er, Yan'er thank you! ”

The candle flame was faint, and Jiang Chong couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Over the years, he has lived day and night in the fear of the prince Liu Ju, Zhao Yan's appearance seems to be God gave him a way to survive again, and the birth of the little prince Liu Fuling has turned this road of survival into a road of wealth, and now the turning point of life is just around the corner, how can this not make him feel upset and upset?

Jiang Chong got up and carefully put away the letter, locked it in a beautifully carved mahogany box, sat down again, and looked at the wick flashing slightly, Jiang Chong fell into deep thought.

As the night darkened, there was a louder sound in the streets, and under the candlelight, I saw a figure under the window, sometimes thinking, sometimes waving.

This is a deep alley, before the first year of Taichu, it was called Yongxiang, now its name is Yeting, although the name is different, but the basic function has not changed, here still live the palace maids and eunuchs who are driven to work, and there is a violent room used to imprison the errant palace people.

At night, Su Wencai returned to the court with tired steps, his status among the eunuchs was high, and he was close to the holy driver, so there was a separate residence in the courtyard. But he doesn't live alone, and the eunuchs all understand that they will have no incense in the future, but no one wants to die without one, so all the powerful Huangmen in his hands will recognize a godson as soon as possible, and when he runs out of oil and lamps in the future, someone will make a flag to send a funeral, Su Wen is naturally no exception, so many years ago, he recognized Xiaohuangmen Chang Rong as his godson, and lived in the same room.

"Aung is back!" The oil cup had already lit up in the ear room, and Chang Rong hurriedly opened the door when he heard the footsteps and welcomed Su Wen in.

"Hmm..." Su Wen bowed slightly, and sat down on the mat with Chang Rong's service, Chang Rong covered the door, and then approached and whispered: "Ah Weng, Mrs. Gou Yi sent someone here today and gave Ah Weng a good thing." ”

"Mrs. Hooky?" Su Wen was stunned, "What do you give me?" ”

Chang Rong got up and turned to the back of the screen, Xu Yu took out a brocade box from behind, walked up to Su Wen and said, "Ah Weng, this is it!" ”

Su Wen took it and opened it with surprise on his face, his face changed at the moment, and then he closed the brocade box, looked out of the door vigilantly, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully for a while before opening it again. In the brocade box are two emeralds the size of cat's eyes, the color is pure, the brightness is dazzling, and it is a rare thing at a glance.

Su Wen has also been with the Yellow Gate of the Holy Driver for many years, and he has seen a lot of good things, but even so, he is still full of praise for these two emeralds, and after looking at them for a long time, he closed the brocade box and asked Chang Rong: "Did anyone ever say why Mrs. Gouyi gave such treasures?" ”

Chang Rong was puzzled when he heard this: "Ah Weng, why did Mrs. Gouyi give away treasures, you don't know?" ”

Su Wen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems that I have to go to the Flying Feather Hall tomorrow." ”

----

Feiyu Hall is located in the northeast corner of Weiyang Palace, carved beams and arches, the palace is heavy, Su Wen dusted off his clothes, stepped forward to the palace people on duty outside the hall and said: "Please report, Huangmen Su Wen asks to see Mrs. Gouyi!" ”

After a short time, the palace people went and returned, and said to Su Wen: "Madame, please!" ”

In the Flying Feather Palace, Zhao Yan sat alone on the seat, pondering slightly. She remembered every word on the letter Jiang Chong replied to, "Yan'er, although my brother is blunt, I am willing to do my best to help Fuling's plan, after you return to the palace, you should have the heart to make friends with Huangmen Su Wen, who has been by the side of the holy driver for many years, and has great use, remember to remember!" ”

"Huangmen Suwen has seen Mrs. Gouyi, Mrs. Changle Wuji!" While pondering, Su Wen was led in by the palace people and bowed down to greet Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan hurriedly retracted her thoughts, and said with a smile on her face: "Su Chang is exempt, please take a seat!" ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Su Wenwei bowed his head and knelt down on the mat under Zhao Yan's right hand.

"The objects sent by the palace yesterday, do you still like the things that Su Changzhi still likes?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile, since she entered the palace for so many years, she has already transformed from a woman who is ignorant of the world to a luxurious and honorable Mrs. Gouyi.

"That's what the old slave is here for!" Su Wen responded, "The old slave was very uneasy to receive such a heavy gift from Mrs. for no reason, so I dare to ask Mrs. to show me!" ”

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Su Changshi's words are wrong! How can the permanent attendant receive the gift of the palace for no reason? Do you remember a few months ago when you praised my son Frin in front of Your Majesty, and how similar to Your Majesty he was? ”

Su Wen thought about it for a while, and said respectfully: "The little prince is very intelligent, and the old slave is just saying it according to the truth, how can such a small statement be able to accept such a heavy gift from the lady?" ”

Zhao Yan shook her head slightly with a smile, and said, "Chang Shi is too humble!" ”

"Chang Shi has served by His Majesty's side for many years, and any whisper can be heard in His Majesty's ears, and it is no longer a whisper." Zhao Yan said meaningfully, "I just don't know what to do?" ”

Su Wen has been in the palace for many years, how clever he is, and when he heard this, he hurriedly leaned over and said, "What Madame said is extremely true!" ”

"Hongu has always liked straightforward people!" Zhao Yan bowed her head with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Therefore, in front of Su Changshi, the palace does not go around in circles, my son Fu Lingsu is liked by His Majesty, if it is for the future wealth, I don't know if Su Changshou is willing to help?" ”

Before coming to the Flying Feather Palace, Su Wen had already guessed in his heart, but now that he heard Zhao Yan say this, he was even more sure in his heart. Prince Liu has long had resentment in his heart, but he was forced to bury this resentment in his heart because of his status as a prince, but now it is different from the past, and today's love for the young son is overflowing. The position of the prince has really changed, why not take this opportunity to seek a great wealth for himself?

Thinking of this, Su Wen hurriedly got up and said earnestly: "Su Wen is ugly, if Mrs. does not give up, I am willing to drive for Mrs." ”

"Su Changshi, please get up quickly!" Zhao Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "If you have to be helped, this palace will be honored!" If there is great wealth in the future, it will be shared! ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's promise, Su Wen was even more secretly happy in his heart, and immediately put his hand against his forehead and said gratefully: "Thank you, madam!" ”

----

After that, Su Wen seized the opportunity to praise Liu Fuling in front of Liu Che from time to time for how smart he was, which made Liu Che, who originally loved his young son, love and appreciate this fourteen-month-old hook Yi son more and more, and even built another hook Yi palace in Ganquan Palace to show his love for his young son.

Wei Zifu saw that Liu Che and Zhao Yan's mother and son were getting closer and closer, and he was becoming more and more alienated from himself and the prince, he couldn't help but feel anxious, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to do, so he had to tell Liu Zhi to be more cautious and cautious.

Time passed day by day, from autumn to winter, from winter to spring.

In the spring, it was the season of catkins and flowers, Wei Zifu occasionally suffered from cough disease, Liu Ju came to greet him every day, and learned from the imperial doctor to stop coughing nectar, and served the disease every day. When Wei Zifu's cough recovered, Liu Ji lost a lot of weight, and he had such filial piety for his son, which made Wei Zifu feel a little more relieved in his worries.

----

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's birthday will be in a few months, I wonder what Your Majesty plans to do this year?" In the Weiyang Palace, Wei Zifu knelt on one side and asked respectfully towards Liu Che.

Liu Che stroked his white beard, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This year is not the birthday of the majority of the number, the queen is at her own discretion according to the system of previous years!" ”

"No!" Wei Zifu responded, "The concubine obeys the order!" ”

"I heard that the queen occasionally suffers from cough disease, and today I see your complexion, it should be fine, right?"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the concubine is fine!" Wei Zifu said with a smile, "Thanks to the close illness of the child, the concubine's cough can be cured so quickly!" ”

"Hmm..."Liu Che bowed his head slightly, and said: "For the son, filial piety comes first, and the prince should be like this!" ”

"Queen, how many palace maids are there in the palace now?" Liu Che suddenly asked.

Wei Zifu was stunned for a moment, and responded: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the palace, there are now fifty-two palace maids. ”

"Only fifty-two? No wonder! Liu Che nodded thoughtfully and said, "Spread my will, the number of maids in the palace will increase to two hundred!" ”

"Two hundred?" Wei Zifu became more and more puzzled, "Your Majesty, why is this?" ”

"Queen, although you are the mother of the crown prince, you still know very little about your son!" Liu Che said slowly with a hint of reproach, "During your illness, the prince entered the Jiaofang Palace every day to serve the illness, don't you know why?" ”

As soon as Liu Che said this, Wei Zifu became more and more confused, "Your Majesty, the concubine is sick, and according to the children, she will enter the palace every day to serve the disease!" ”

"This is only one of them!" Liu Che shook his head and said, "Second, there are a lot of young and beautiful maids in the Jiaofang Palace, and according to the children's meeting, they will go every day!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Wei Zifu categorically denied this, "According to his son, he is by no means a person who covets beauty, the reason why he goes to Jiaofang Hall every day is just to serve the concubine's illness, and nothing else!" ”

Liu Che smiled slightly, and said: "Yes or no, this matter is not a bad thing, the ancients had a saying, 'color is also', according to my Han prince, the beauty of the world is all called to come, as long as he likes it, I am happy to see it!" ”

"Your Majesty..."Wei Zifu was speechless when he heard this, but he couldn't explain it.

"Okay, the queen will do what I want!" Liu Che stopped and didn't want to say more.

Seeing this, Wei Zifu had no choice but to respond: "No! ”
