The snow in Yanjing City in December is always extremely cool.

The human heart is also extremely cold.

The Forbidden City was covered with snow, wrapping up the bright yellow and vermilion that could be seen everywhere, as if the terrible power was wrapped in the depths and disappeared.

In the palace, the stumps and dead leaves are withered, as if only winter is the most like the hundred turns in the palace.

Now it is the twenty-eighth year of Tianyuan, Emperor Shunhui is in power, Yunliang is still rich and peaceful, and the surrounding small countries are peaceful coexistence, and there is harmony.

It's just that Emperor Shunhui's heirs are scarce, and the harem is beautiful, only the queen gave birth to the prince Murong Fenghua, the princess Murong Yu; Xue Guifei gave birth to the second prince Murong Fengchi; Concubine Hui, who died early, gave birth to the third prince Murong Fengduo, but her fate was really bad, she died young, and was posthumously named King Ke; The jade concubine gave birth to the fourth prince Murong Fengji, the third princess Murong Liu, and the fourth princess Murong Yan; There is also a fifth prince born to a lowly palace maid, who does not follow the style and is named Murong Feng.

At this time, in the Fengluan Palace, there is smoke from the stove, and the fragrance of fruit is curling.

The queen has always been afraid of cold and likes heat, so in winter, the soup woman never leaves her hand, and the palace must be hot.

The queen is dressed in phoenix silk, and the pattern of the big red peony is printed on the palace robe, lining her fair complexion, although she is in her early thirties, her eyebrows and eyes are still picturesque, and her time is as good as ever.

"Hua'er, come here." The queen leaned on the couch and called softly to Murong Fenghua, who had just left the school.

Murong Fenghua was only six years old at this time, but he had already entered the study, reviewing poetry and books every day, looking like a young man.

"I have seen the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed with Jin'an."

The queen smiled and took Murong Fenghua by the hand, "Do you have a good book today?" Taifu taught, do you understand? ”

Murong Fenghua's face was as cool as water, he had always been as gentle as jade: "After returning to my mother, what Taifu taught today is the Analects, and the meaning of it is probably understood by the sons. ”

The queen suddenly narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and said sharply: "I can't forget everything that this palace teaches you on weekdays, if you want to compete for the crown prince, then you can't say such uncertain words as 'roughly'!" ”

Murong Fenghua's eyes darkened, he was only a six-year-old child after all.

"Erchen understood."

The queen was satisfied: "That's right. ”

She paused, but after all, she still wanted to save something, and said: "Hua'er, don't blame the queen mother for being very strict with you, it's just that although this palace is the queen, she is also a pawn of the mother's family, and you are too." ”

Murong Fenghua was born as the son of the Heavenly Family, and he can understand the queen's words.

The door was opened suddenly, and the cold wind outside the door suddenly poured in, Murong Fenghua was unexpected, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The queen was furious: "What thing is so careless! ”

The one who broke in was the queen's personal palace maid, called Chiyu.

She has always been on the top, but today she is rarely panicked. Because of running all the way, the sideburns were stained with snow particles, and the whole person's face was frozen white.

"Niangniang, there was news from the previous dynasty that Xue Guifei's father, Xue Taiwei, united with the six Shangshu to play the emperor, saying that Xu Guogong privately hid his own soldiers and intended to rebel, and the sixty people in Xu Guogong's mansion were all put in prison except for Niangniang, and the saint will be tried in person tomorrow!"

Xu Guogong is the queen's father.

As soon as she spoke, the queen's face turned pale, she grabbed Chiyu's hand violently, and said tremblingly: "Father, father, he, now ......"

Chiyu's hand was pinched out of blood by the queen, she endured the pain, and said: "Don't worry, Xu Guogong is still in good health, but Niangniang should think of a way to protect Xu Guogong's mansion." ”

Mama Du, who was beside the queen, said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, Xue Guifei is menacing, and now that she has won over the six Shangshu, it is a perfect retreat, I am afraid that it will be much more difficult for the prince to ascend to the throne of the prince." ”

Mama Du is the old grandmother in the palace, and she is also the queen's upbringing from childhood to adulthood.

When the queen heard this, she recovered from her deep grief.

She stroked Yu Ruyi without a match, and immediately made a decision, and instructed Chiyu: "Go to see the emperor, and say that the prince intends to pray for the queen mother's illness, and invite himself to live in the palace, live in a farmhouse, abstain from mountain treasures, pray every day, and return to the palace to serve His Majesty in the next day." ”

Chiyu was stunned: "Niangniang, this, isn't this equivalent to giving up the dispute between the princes......"

The queen shook her head: "This palace is to make Xue Guifei mistakenly think that we have given up the position of the crown prince, so as to let down our guard and turn to deal with the sick seedling born by Concubine Yu wholeheartedly." Hua'er left the palace just to divert attention, what should be learned, what should be taught, and no one in this palace will be left behind. ”

Chiyu suddenly realized, hurriedly walked out of Fengluan Palace, and went straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The queen turned her head to look at Murong Fenghua, the corners of her eyes were sour, but she couldn't cry. It seems that when it is extremely sad, there are no tears to come out.

"Hua'er, when you leave the palace this time, the palace will let Chiyu come to visit often, and when the time comes, the palace will ask the best gentleman to teach you secretly, you want it, it's good."

"Also, if you take this jade pendant, you can't leave it at any time." The queen put a piece of jade pendant in his hand, and Yin Yin instructed, "This is the peace jade that the queen mother asked for you in the temple, which can protect you." ”

After all, the queen's eyes were slightly red.

She didn't know if she was doing the right thing, and she didn't know if she would be able to see the emperor she had in mind again.

Murong Fenghua had already tears in his eyes.

is Fang Cai, he is still talking and laughing with his mother, and in an instant, his grandfather's family is gone, and he is leaving his mother.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Hua'er won't leave, Hua'er will stay by the mother's side forever......"

The queen's heart felt as if she had been cut by a knife, but she couldn't be soft-hearted: "Mama Du, send the prince out of the palace immediately!" ”

"Yes."

"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! Murong Fenghua had already walked out of Fengluan Palace, but his crying was endless.

The queen finally couldn't stand it anymore and collapsed on the couch: "Come on, close the palace door, no one will come!" ”

A big red phoenix robe on his body was scorching and shining, but inexplicably, the fire phoenix was extremely pale, as if it had lost its life.

The snow in December was really cool, but it couldn't cool the queen's heart.
