Shuhui also walked forward slowly; "That's right, this time we'll run an errand together, so we can get together by the way, Prince Xia Han." Xia Han bowed his head: "Okay, the itinerary is all up to you to negotiate with the princess of Southern Xinjiang, I will accompany Xia Xingquan, and I can tell someone when I get there." We hurried home, so we took our leave. The two walked past Ming Qin, and Ming Lang and Ming Jin walked out just in the way of the two.

Xia Xing looked up at the two people who were in the way, and said with the corners of his mouth curled: "What's the matter with the third prince and the fourth prince?" At this time, Ming Jin is no longer the appearance of the Queen Mother's palace, and he is not low-key and humble at all. Minglang also smiled and said: "Today I am the east, let's go to Juxian Tower to gather together and discuss the visit to southern Xinjiang, how can this not avoid you, I don't know what the two of you think." ”

Xia Xing refused: "There will be opportunities after the dinner, and it will be lively when the two princesses come and there will be more people." As for the discussion, there is no need to discuss it, we have never received foreign guests, and we are all up to you. Say goodbye and stay. Minglang spread his hands helplessly, and Mingjin asked suspiciously: "Why do you say they are in a hurry to go back?" Could it be that something is catching up? Shuhui also pouted: "Then who knows." ”

As soon as Xia Han left, her mood was not high, and several people knew that they didn't break it. Ming Qin raised his eyebrows and looked at Ming Jin a few times and said, "Perhaps, they are too annoyed to look at the Fourth Emperor Brother, so they should leave." Ming Jin smiled angrily, squinting at Ming Qin, both like contempt and laughter: "Fifth brother, you are young, and the imperial brother doesn't care about you." I didn't answer to the two of them, and it wasn't annoying to me. ”

This sentence offended the three of them, and Ming Qin immediately retorted: "That's not necessarily, it's because I am afraid that you will also say it except for you, so I quickly resigned." "Let's talk about it, pull it up and Minglang" Brother Sanhuang, you say yes. "Hmph, it's more unreasonable than being arrogant, Ming Qin has never been afraid of anyone, at the beginning there was a delicate and willful Shuhui, but as he grew older, he also converged a lot, and now Ming Qin is the dominant family in the palace.

Minglang hurriedly played a round: "Okay, it's rare for us to come together to visit our grandmother, how can we have a verbal dispute in front of her old man's palace." "When everyone heard 'Grandmother' and thought about what kind of place this was, they all fell silent.

If the palace people saw what happened just now, they would definitely tell the queen mother, and Shuhui also quickly sorted out her appearance, Ming Qin didn't care, anyway, everyone in the palace knew the virtue of the little overlord.

Ming Lang has earned enough to be a brother and a friend, it seems that his younger brothers and sisters are all obedient to him, Ming Jin snorted and thought, in fact, we are just afraid of Cining Palace, should I coerce and lure the palace people on duty? Forget it, this palace didn't say anything anyway, if the lure didn't work...... It's not good if my grandmother knows about it, after all, who knows if anyone sees it in the shadows?

Compared to just letting my grandmother know that these are still lighter than that, after all, it is one thing to be gentle and polite, and it is another thing to be cowardly and incompetent, so it is good to let my grandmother know that this palace is benevolent but not easy to bully. Minglang saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "It's rare to come to the harem, I'll go to see the mother concubine, what about the two royal brothers and the royal sister?" Shu Hui also nodded: "Naturally." Several people separated and left, each choosing a direction.

Xia Han and the two walked to the palace gate, Bingning and Biak were staring at each other, and it was not until Xia Xing coughed that the two came back to their senses. Bing Ning greeted him and asked, "Your Highness, you have come out." "Well, let's go back and talk about it."

In the Millennium Palace, there are only two people in the huge palace room, one sitting and one standing, Concubine De Niangniang sat in the first place, looked at Ming Jin and said: "It turned out that the two princesses of southern Xinjiang were coming, I got the news earlier that people from southern Xinjiang were coming, but I didn't think that I would ask you to go here to explain this matter." "It's the mother concubine, the queen mother asked us to receive the two princesses from southern Xinjiang with Xia Han and Xia Xing from Beiyan, saying that they would take them around for a walk."

Concubine De squinted her eyes and asked cautiously: "Oh, is it really so?" Let you take the two princesses on a tour? Mingqin said suspiciously: "Yes, I don't know what grandmother means?" Let's take care of this together. Concubine De pondered: "Don't care what the Queen Mother means, the key is to let you accompany the princesses of Southern Xinjiang to visit Shengjing, so they must stay in China for a while." And the king of southern Xinjiang sent two princesses? ”

Concubine De suddenly smiled, "This is a good thing, Emperor." I heard that this generation of southern Xinjiang kings has six princesses but only one prince, except for the eldest princess and the fourth princess who died early, the second princess who has been married, and the two princesses of the current age have come to China. Ming Jin suddenly realized: "Mother, you mean?" ”

Concubine De smiled and nodded: "The prince of Southern Xinjiang is the youngest, but the king of Southern Xinjiang is old, and there is already a princess left in the country, these two must borrow foreign aid." "Then what foreign aid is better than ours?" "Yes, Emperor, this is your chance." Ming Jin hesitated: "Didn't the mother concubine ask me to fight for the princess of Beiyan?" Besides, how far away is southern Xinjiang from us, there is a poisonous miasma everywhere, otherwise how can we stop our country from riding iron. ”

"Didn't you succeed?" "Although the child didn't succeed, but others didn't succeed either, isn't Xia Xing still young. Besides, Beiyan's emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, which is comparable to a small country that relies on geographical barriers for protection. Concubine De said sharply: "Confused, how can you hang yourself on a tree, don't others know what you know?" Rather than fighting for that one, it is better to change a step, the people of southern Xinjiang are good at using poison and insect repellent, which is really a strange army, and the barrier of southern Xinjiang is even more impregnable, and it can be attacked and retreated. ”

Speaking of this, I didn't know what to think of, and whispered: "If it really comes to that point, it can also ensure the safety of my son and the continuation of the bloodline." Why do you think the mother concubine asked you to give up the strong army of Beiyan, will the mother concubine harm you? Beiyan even wants to win over your father and the king of Xiliang, do you want to arouse the emperor's suspicion? Mingjin was frightened and said: "Then why did the mother ask me in the first place... Concubine De raised her index finger and gestured in front of her mouth.

Cai whispered: "Isn't there no choice at the beginning?" Besides, your father needs a son to keep Princess Beiyan, so why can't it be you. My son's background is the most noble, there are no heirs in the two palaces, only one daughter of the virtuous concubine Minglan has been married, and now there is a concubine in the palace. . . Concubine De stopped when she said this, and smiled, "Only the highest quantile in this palace, my son is the most qualified person to succeed his father." ”

"At that time, the mother concubine wanted you to fight, in order not to blame the people and share the worries of your father. Now that there are two choices, the emperor must want to fight for both, so the mother concubine asked you to change the target, it is really more suitable for Southern Xinjiang than Northern Yan, and it is time for the two princesses to come. Mingjin nodded: "Mother, I listen to you." ”

Feng'an Palace, a couch more than a foot long, paved with a whole piece of white tiger skin, the black lacquered wood carving column on the back depicts the dragon and the phoenix, one side of the couch is a small golden wood, and a pair of mother and son sit on both sides. Concubine Hui's ten fingers were delicate and beautiful, and a pair of well-maintained hands were white and tender, knocking on the wooden table.

Ming Qin leisurely leaned on the soft cushion of the carved railing, lying on his side facing the direction of Concubine Hui, taking a piece of tea and preserved fruit on a small table for a while to eat, and slapping on his lap with the other hand. The clicking sound of the tapping sounded for a long time, and finally stopped, and then came from Concubine Hui's rather impatient voice: "Did you hear what I told you clearly?" ”

Ming Qin said lazily: "Mother, you just said so much nonsense, how can I hear it clearly, even if I heard it clearly, I would have forgotten it now, you have knocked on the table for more than half a day." Concubine Hui flushed angrily, slapped the table and shouted: "You get up for me, sit down or not, listen carefully to me." ”

Mingqin shook his head: "Don't, concubine." I received a summons from my grandmother to go to Cining Palace early in the morning, and I sat all morning, and the grain of rice was not eaten, and I starved to death. Concubine Hui raised her hand and pointed directly at Qin's head: "You ......" and immediately withdrew her hand, pulled off the armor on her hand, and stretched it out again to point at Ming Qin's head, "You know how to eat you, eat, drink and have fun, you can have a snack." ”

Ming Qin smiled with a begging smile: "Oh, mother, you have really big hands, and the sword is not old." Oh, don't poke it, if you poke it again, your son will be out of shape. What a big deal, isn't it just sitting up? I'll just sit down, don't be angry with yourself. As he spoke, he stood up and ran behind Concubine Hui and beat her shoulders.

While thrashing, he asked, "How's the strength?" Concubine Hui sighed helplessly and said, "You said that you have such a temperament, what can you do if you leave us in the future?" I don't expect you to make a career like your second brother, but can you grow a little bit and let your old lady worry less. "Concubine Hui has two children in the palace, and she is still a pair of princes, she is proud of the spring breeze, but she is proud of her heart.

The eldest son is smart and capable, but he is not ambitious, and he has no need to let Concubine Hui bother with all parties, because the mother family Dexing Marquis Mansion has no real power; The youngest son was born as a prince, and he was the only child born in the palace at the beginning of Emperor Jing's accession to the throne.

Ming Qin pouted: "It's good if you have a second brother, no matter what I do, you can't let me sacrifice for the sake of the second brother!" "What are Qin'er and Mother talking about me?" There is a saying that 'Cao Cao Cao arrived', Ming Qin looked at Ming Ye who walked in in surprise. Concubine Hui turned from the mood of wanting to reprimand Ming Qin angrily, and asked, "Ye'er, why did you enter the palace today?" Ming Ye looked at Concubine Hui sitting firmly on the couch.

and Ming Qin, who was standing behind Concubine Hui and beating her back, said slowly: "I heard that today my grandmother summoned Qin'er, Minglang, Mingjin and Shuhui to Cining Palace, thinking that Qin'er should be in the palace of the concubine at this time, so I came to ask what was the matter?" Concubine Hui sighed: "You come and talk about Qin'er, choose Xia Xing as his concubine, am I not good for him?" Ming Ye nodded: "Of course, why do you ask that?" ”

Turning his head to look at Ming Qin, he sat down on the couch opposite him and said, "Qin'er didn't tell you before, because you were too young, and now you should look at each other at your age, and you will marry a wife when you are sixteen." The reason why I and the simile are so late is because of special circumstances, and now that we have chosen them for you, what are you not satisfied with? ”
