However, in an hour or two, all palaces and gardens received the emperor's holy decree. Naturally, everyone was happy, and because it was mentioned in the holy decree that it was the Queen Mother, everyone was busy thanking the Queen Mother's palace. So from afternoon to evening, the gate of the Empress Dowager Yang's palace was really busy, and wave after wave of concubines from the palace came to kowtow happily or dignifiedly to thank her, and Yang, as the queen mother, is now in charge of the affairs of the harem. The emperor in the Ming Palace heard about the hard work of the Queen Mother's day, so he specially instructed someone to send the newly paid tribute blood swallow to the Queen Mother's palace, and then called Jiang Jianing, who had just returned to the palace after sending Jiang Yingyue back to Fujian.

"Lady Jiang has returned from Fujian this time, how are the king and queen of Min doing?

"Back to the emperor, the king and the queen are all right, although Mrs. Jiang mourns the loss of her daughter, but His Majesty treats the Jiang family well, Duanzhen Imperial Concubine and the emperor's eldest son is there, always a comfort from Mrs., and the Queen of Min is very careful, afraid that Mrs. will be lonely in the house, so she deliberately put Mrs. Aoyuan to live with Concubine Zhen, the prince of Fujian is smart and lovely, and always follows Queen Min to visit, often amused the two old people very happy, so Mrs. Everything is fine. The lady specially asked the slave maid to convey her gratitude to the emperor, thanking the emperor for his deep affection for the Jiang family, and hoping that the emperor's eldest son would grow up safely and be healthy and smooth, and there would be no other request from then on. ”

"Madame Jiang's heart is the same as mine, and the safety and health of the emperor's eldest son is also the most important thing for me. Wen Zihua glanced at a delicate envelope sealed with fire paint in Jiang Jianing's hand, "Is this a letter from the King of Min to me?"

"Back to the emperor, this is what Queen Min handed over to the slave maid, saying that it is ...... The lord of the small southern kingdom gave it to His Majesty. ”

Wen Zihua's tea-drinking hand paused for a moment, he swallowed the tea, felt that his throat was a little dry, and coughed twice before he said lightly: "Present it." ”

"Yes. ”

Carefully open the fire paint, the envelope seems to be a little heavy, Wen Zihua tilted the mouth of the envelope slightly and wanted to pour out the letters inside, but he didn't expect to pour out a pile of green origami, large, small, light green, dark green, lake green, full of handfuls, all of them are paper folded four-leaf clover.

The four-leaf clover, which represents luck, is full and vivid green, and suddenly jumped into Wen Zihua's eyes, and there is also a page of letter paper sandwiched between them:

WEN Zihua,

Hello.

I wanted to write you a letter before, and there are some things to thank you, but when I heard about Jiang Yingyue, I thought that since everyone is a friend, they should comfort you.

It's just that I've never been able to say comforting words, and I don't think an emperor needs much comfort. Now that Jiang Yingyue is gone, it is useless for her to have ten thousand points of goodness, and it is useless for you to miss it no matter how much you miss it. But she left you a son, and when you become a father, you should cheer yourself up, treat this child well, and be the king of your country.

Although I don't have much friendship with Jiang Yingyue, I think she is a good woman, a good wife to you, and she has always taken good care of Sister Taili. I wanted to give her child a little treasure, but I don't want to come to Wei to have any treasures, he is the eldest son of the emperor, his status is precious, and he is about to lack anything, so I don't shudder myself. After thinking about it, it took a lot of effort to find these papers, and the papermaking technology was developed to this time, which was not suitable for making origami, and it was a lot of waste, so I folded the seventeen four-leaf clovers by hand. Seventeen is my lucky number, and may luck always be with you, and your children.

Thank you for your many support to Xiaonanguo in Wangcheng Mutual Market.

Jin Liancheng is now working in the capital of Li Dynasty, if possible, please help in the past, thank you.

Thank you for always being kind to Sister Terri.

I wish you good health.

Yao Jin

The letter is not too long, the words are polite, too polite, except for the last line of "thank you" one after another, it seems to be just a distant and slightly rusty letter from a friend, the gift to you, the reason to thank you, and even bother to think of a few words of blessing, but Wen Zihua stared at this short letter paper, his hand clenched the smallest four-leaf clover, the paper seemed to be a little deformed in his palm, but it was contaminated with the warmth of his palm, small, but warm.

Seeing that Wen Zihua was a little distracted, Jiang Jianing coughed slightly, and said: "There is one more thing to tell the emperor, the latest news has come from Li Chaolingjing, since Emperor Li's two useless sons, one suddenly died of illness and the other made a mistake and was cut off, and the virtuous concubine who had high hopes before has been weak and unable to get pregnant, Emperor Li has begun to look for suitable candidates in the clan and is ready to come to the royal family. But in the past few months, some strange rumors have been circulating in the capital, and this matter is still somewhat related to the first emperor of our dynasty. ”

"What kind of gossip is it?"

It is said that the first emperor was friendly with Emperor Li when he was a proton in the Li Dynasty, so Emperor Li got to know Jin Changqing, the guard who served by the first emperor's side, and his sister Jin Changqin, and had a relationship with Jin Changqin. Later, Emperor Li ascended the throne, and a few years later, the overall situation was decided, and he planned to take Jin Changqin into the palace, but Jin Changqin had already died due to giving birth to a child, leaving a baby boy to Jin Changqing. It is said that this Jin Changqing was resentful of Emperor Li for failing his sister and causing his death, so he concealed all this from Emperor Li and everyone in the outside world, secretly hid the child, and only told Emperor Li that his sister was sick and died. In fact, this child is still alive. ”

Wen Zihua frowned: "How could such a secret thing suddenly come out?"

"The news from Lingjing seems to be related to the death of Yuan Youzhang, the former general of the Xiguan Army of Li Chao. said that Yuan Youzhang somehow learned about the Jin family at that time, and planned to go to Beijing to report to Emperor Li in person, but he didn't expect to die in the Xishan bombing. At that time, the death of Yuan Youzhang was a little criticized, and at that time, someone suggested that this matter was secretly instructed by Li Rao, the king of Xishan, but at that time, Emperor Li had just ascended the throne, and his power was already unstable, and the king of Xishan was in the limelight at that time, and those who said this naturally died soon after. ”

"There is no wind and no waves, and now such words are coming out, nothing more than for the empty prince. It depends on whether this was said by Emperor Li himself, or if someone deliberately did it. Wen Zihua paused, and suddenly said, "You said that the surname of this family is Jin?"

Jiang Jianing raised his head with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "It is the Jin family, the Jin Liancheng family that is good friends with the lord of Xiaonan Kingdom. I heard that he has been back in Lingjing for a long time. ”

"He's—"

"It seems unlikely at the moment. His father is Jin Changqing, but the Jin family has no other men of the same generation except him, half a year ago there was a plague in the capital of the Li Dynasty, and the entire Jin family died in the plague, and he was the only one left - now Jin Liancheng himself has been summoned into the palace of the Li Dynasty. ”

Wen Zihua's gaze stayed on Yao Jin's letter again, the sentence "Jin Liancheng is now working in the capital of the Li Dynasty", couldn't help but make his heart flash, for a moment, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "I know, continue to let the people in the capital keep an eye on this matter, and report back in time if there is a situation." Jiang Nu has worked hard all the way, go down and rest. ”

"Yes. ”
