Cui'er - Princess Rong'an's personal maid and "trial marriage" - once quietly told her family that for a long time after the death of the first emperor, Concubine Ligui was bored, and she washed her face with tears and had no intention of dressing up, and the whole person was haggard. The age of the noble concubine was two years younger than that of the "west", but at that time, the comparison between the two was compared by the "west".

However, as soon as Princess Rong'an's intention to marry was released, Concubine Ligui immediately seemed to be a different person, radiant, and within a few days, the style of the six palaces that was gorgeous back then came back! Cui'er said that the most amazing thing is the fine lines on the concubine's face, which are seen day by day, and finally, they are all gone! A face is like a peeled hard-boiled egg, which is called a smooth and smooth one!

Everyone secretly said that Concubine Ligui "grew back"!

Well, it seems that Cui'er's words are not for me to deceive!

"Lord ......"

The delicate call pulled Guan Zhuofan out of the trance state of being out of his soul, he let out an "ah", seeing that the beautiful mother-in-law was as red as fire, and her expression was different, a thought couldn't help but flash in his mind: I won't have any "unhonored" actions, right?

He startled himself, quickly coughed in disguise, sat upright, and said, "Yes-what else does the concubine have to order?" ”

"There's one thing," Concubine Ligui's voice was low, "I really don't know...... How to speak? However, after thinking about it, I still have to ...... Ask the prince. ”

Guan Zhuofan looked at Concubine Ligui's "different" look, it was an inexplicable nervousness, uneasiness, and vague anxiety that was difficult to hide, so the mother-in-law's "red face" may not be caused by what she had just done.

On the one hand, he was relieved. On the one hand, I brought up my curiosity again: when Concubine Ligui talked about Concubine Wan, she couldn't see these abnormalities - well, I'm just afraid that Concubine Wan's "going out of the palace and living separately" is just the "introduction" of the bowl of bird's nest porridge, and what I want to say next is the real "play meat".

It is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauty. Is this "emperor's treatment" so easy to bear? Wake up the spirits!

"Your concubine, please say, I know everything, and I have no end to it."

After a pause, he added: "We are a family, close relatives, and there is nothing that we can't say." ”

Hey, why do I say "flesh and blood"? "Family" is "family", but we don't seem to have any blood relationship, right?

"Yes. What the prince said was, that ...... I'll just say it. ”

After a pause, "Originally, Li Niu'er wanted to ask you about this, but she was tender and couldn't say it." Still is...... I'll come over and trouble the prince. ”

Well? It turned out to be a "mother's and daughter's job"? Ah, no. This word is not used correctly, that is, "serving in the army on behalf of women"? Ouch, even more wrong...... Well, I mean, what do you mean, between husband and wife who are skin-to-skin and have a good relationship. I can't say it, but I want to work my mother-in-law to go out?

"Please, please."

Concubine Ligui hung her head slightly, biting her lip, and ten fingers like onion tubes. Tightly twisted together, it can be seen that she is really hesitating, Guan Zhuofan is about to "lead" for her again, Concubine Ligui finally spoke, her voice was very low:

"Liniuer and I, when we heard the rumors, said it was...... Say yes...... The 'evil poison' in the emperor's body is...... What is ......'bayberry' ......"

Speaking of the word "bayberry", the voice is almost inaudible.

Guan Zhuofan suddenly felt in his heart, it turned out that you two mothers and sons were for this matter.

However, he didn't say anything, he knew that Concubine Ligui still had something to say.

"I also said, I also said that the emperor's ...... 'bayberry' is not from ...... Where are other women...... Stained back, but, but, rather, rather......"

After saying three "buts", he finally said the most important words: "...... From his biological parents, he was 'handed down'. ”

His voice trembled, mixed with irrepressible horror and anxiety.

It is very understandable why the mother-in-law is so worried, if the little emperor's "bayberry" and "pass" his own parents, then Wenzong and Cixi cannot be exempted from suspicion; If this "bayberry" was actually "passed on" from Wenzong - hehe, since it can be "passed on" to his son, he may naturally also be "passed on" to his daughter, and "passed" to his eldest wife, younger wife, and so on.

When she spoke, Concubine Ligui lowered her head from beginning to end, and she didn't dare to look at Guan Zhuofan at a glance.

Guan Zhuofan wanted to reach over and pat her on the shoulder, or press her hand, just like to Princess Rong'an, but this was naturally not possible.

"I know what the princess and princess are worried about," Guan Zhuofan's voice was calm and powerful, "but don't worry about it! ”

Concubine Ligui finally raised her head, her face flushed, but she already showed a look of surprise.

"The 'evil poison' in the emperor's body," Guan Zhuofan said, "may indeed be 'bayberry' - however, this is not conclusive." If—I mean, if—if it's really 'bayberry', the emperor is young and inhumane, this 'bayberry' can only 'live' his own parents-"

Hearing this, Concubine Ligui's expression changed again! His complexion turned from red to white, and panic and anxiety resurfaced on his face.

Guan Zhuofan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, listen to me-even if you 'pass' your own parents, you can only ...... 'pass' your own mother, not your own father." ”

Concubine Ligui was shocked, stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "That's ...... Why? ”

"The reason is very simple," Guan Zhuofan's face seemed to be smiling, "The situation of the first emperor coming to the imperial concubine, the noble concubine knows better than anyone else-"

Concubine Ligui's face, "brushed", turned from white to red.

It's fun, it's fun, it's fun.

Interesting is interesting, it would be inappropriate to make her so embarrassed and embarrassed, Guan Zhuofan put away the strange smile on his face, and said solemnly: "If the emperor's 'bayberry' is his own father, then, from giving birth to a pregnant dragon to being a guest of the dragon." A full six or seven years of Chenguang - such a long Chenguang, how could there not be a concubine contaminated with 'bayberry'? ”

In fact, when Concubine Ligui thought about it alone, she also made similar inferences, but what she thought about herself. has no confidence, but the same words, coming out of Guan Zhuofan's mouth, feel completely different! This inference, which originally did not know whether it was right or wrong, was immediately as solid as a rock in her mind!

"Yes, what the prince said," Concubine Ligui's voice said. Although he was still a little trembling, he was already smiling, "That's it......"

"Also," Guan Zhuofan said, "If the evil poison in the emperor's body is really 'bayberry', it can't be 100% ruled out that it is contaminated with which palace person - although it has been checked, but." I only checked the Changchun Palace and the Taiji Palace, and the Forbidden City was too big. Thousands of houses, thousands of palace maids, where can they be checked one by one? Besides, it's too late to cover up this kind of thing, so how can you investigate it with great fanfare? ”

There was a pause. "If it really finds out, it's also a troublesome matter - if nothing else, the queen mother and queen mother have to take responsibility first......"

This sentence frightened Concubine Ligui, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, yes." You can't implicate the Queen Mother! ”

"So," Guan Zhuofan said, "Please concubine and princess, put your heart in your stomach, regardless of the 'evil poison' in the emperor's body, whether it is 'bayberry' or not, and no matter where this 'bayberry' comes from, anyway, it's none of the emperor's business, so-"

After a pause, "It's none of the princess and the concubine." ”

"Yes, yes......"

"Also," that strange smile returned to Guan Zhuofan's face, "If the 'evil poison' in the emperor's body is really 'bayberry', if this 'bayberry' is really 'passing' among his biological parents, biological father and biological mother, and really 'passing' his biological father, then the first one who can't sleep well should actually be my ......"

Concubine Ligui was stunned for a moment: What do you mean?

"Ming'er," Guan Zhuofan lowered his voice slightly, "The noble concubine can ask the princess, see what her family has done with her tonight after going to bed and 'settling'?" ”

Concubine Ligui was stunned for a while, and suddenly understood what Guan Zhuofan meant, and suddenly her face was red with shame, and her heart was beating wildly - this person!

She almost couldn't sit still, but after a little thought, she felt that this was really the most powerful and solid evidence of "the first emperor's innocence"! More powerful and better than any empty mouth and white tooth rhetoric!

Although his face was burning to the point of almost catching fire, in the blink of an eye, his eyes were already full of smiles, and his eyes flowed, and he circled Guan Zhuofan's face and immediately took it back. However, at such a glance, Guan Zhuofan already felt that he had fallen into a flood of spring water, and every nerve was warm and itchy, and they were trembling slightly.

Neither of them spoke, and there was an inexplicable ambiguity in the air in the study.

After a while, just when Guan Zhuofan felt that if he didn't say anything, something might happen, Concubine Ligui spoke first, she lowered her head, and her voice was also very low:

"Liniuer told me that the prince was very good to her......"

Excellent? I'm really good to my wife, but what kind of "good" does my mother-in-law refer to?

"Too good...... It's a little too much for her to bear......"

Ha, I know what you're talking about!

But when such a thing comes out of your mouth, it is ...... Surprising!

This, this, alas, all, all, all, that...... The moon is in trouble! The moon tonight is so good!

"Li Niu'er said," Concubine Ligui pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "She is willing to ask Cui'er to share a little more for her......"

Yes?

"I said, your 'virtuous' belongs to 'virtuous', but if you go too far, you're a little stupid, it's not a 'trial marriage'...... The prince is not staying with you because he sees the sky, you have to wait until you are pregnant...... Well, when the time comes, isn't it...... It's all Cui'er's errand? When the time comes, some of her will be busy......"

"Errand"? That's interesting!

Guan Zhuofan's whole person was already dizzy, he laughed dryly, and said "yes, yes" twice, I don't know, what else should I say?

Concubine Ligui raised her head. The red clouds were full of faces, and her eyes were clear: "I'm looking forward to it, Liniu'er will give birth to a son for the prince and the Guan family one day sooner......"

It's good for the "prince", for the "Guan family...... Hey.

"My son too. Whether it's a daughter or not, it's all good, it's all good...... Uh, boys, girls, all the same, all the same......"

Prince Xuan's words, to the ears of Concubine Ligui, were inevitably a little incoherent, and she smiled softly. said: "It's rare for the prince to open it like this, but in the end, it is the son who inherits ......the incense."

As soon as the words came out, I felt that it was inappropriate, people already had two sons, and I said this by myself, as if I was "inheriting the incense". It has to be a concubine - it has to be born by one's own daughter in order to be counted?

A change of thought. I thought about it again, even if it is a concubine, it may not necessarily come from his daughter's belly, this Prince Xuan, there is a wife in the small Suzhou Hutong.

Concubine Ligui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. was thinking about saying something to explain himself, only to hear Guan Zhuofan say: "I still like my daughter, as the saying goes, 'my daughter is my father's little padded jacket', haha!" ”

There was a pause. He also said: "Besides, even if it is 'inheriting the incense', the daughter may not be successful!" ”

Yes?

"Under the sky...... Where is the daughter who inherits the incense? Rajah...... It's good at telling jokes. ”

"I'm not joking," Guan Zhuofan said, "isn't the king of England a daughter?" Does that mean that the incense of the English royal family was inherited by their daughter? ”

The king of England is a woman, this, Concubine Ligui knows, but she never thought that this is actually equivalent to "the incense of the English royal family, inherited by the daughter of their family", for a while she was speechless, speechless - ouch, in the world, there are really daughters who inherit the incense!

"And Spain," Guan Zhuofan said with great interest, "the king is also a woman, that is, the incense of the Spanish royal family is also inherited by their daughter!" ”

The name "Spain", Concubine Ligui vaguely, has also heard of it, she can't help but be a little confused, so many countries, are women as kings, "inheriting the royal incense"?

After a while, he suddenly thought of something, and said tentatively: "Lord, I don't know if what I think is right, uh, the female emperor of Japan, isn't she living with us......"

Guan Zhuofan cocked his thumb: "What the noble concubine said is very true!" Yes, there is also Japan, where a woman is the emperor, and the daughter inherits the royal incense! ”

In fact, the situation in Japan is quite different from that of England and Spain, and it is not good to say that "the daughter inherits the royal incense", but the difference, Mo said that Concubine Ligui can't figure it out, at that time, the whole of China is counted, except for Guan Jun Zhuofan, who can really understand this problem, may not be able to exceed the number of palms, so don't care so much, it will be counted as "daughter inherits the royal incense".

Concubine Ligui was praised by Guan Zhuofan, a little proud, but also a little embarrassed, smiled, and said: "This female emperor of Japan seems to be called ...... And Emperor Sakura? ”

"That's right, with Emperor Sakura."

Concubine Ligui asked with some curiosity: "This Emperor Sakura, it seems to be ...... Don't have an heir yet, do you? ”

"Yes."

"That's the heir of their Japan......"

That's a good question, but I can't answer you right now.

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said: "Emperor Sakura is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the matter of the emperor's heir, don't worry." ”

What does it mean to be "not in a hurry"?

It is a very sensational thing to travel east to China with Emperor Sakura, her identity as a "female emperor", especially the harem concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs, for a long time, the "topic list" of the inner court of the Forbidden City has the name of Emperor Sakura, so the basic situation of Emperor Sakura is understood.

Concubine Ligui knows that although this female emperor of Japan is "in full bloom", she is actually a widow, since she is a widow, how can she give birth to an heir? Do you want to "Jiao again"?

She was really curious, and wanted to ask again, but just about to speak, she suddenly woke up: This is a major national event - the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!

I've always been cautious in my words and deeds, what's wrong with me today? - What kind of devil are you in?

I was shocked, and a cold sweat almost came out.

With such an agitation, his brain immediately cleared up a lot, and he remembered some strange expressions of the prince opposite......

Her heart was pounding, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, and she even said in her heart: Too many words, too many words!

"I've delayed the prince too much," Concubine Ligui reluctantly smiled, "Uh, this, the prince is going to go straight early in the morning, Liniu'er...... Ming'er is also going to enter the palace to ask for peace for the queen mother, uh, you husband and wife, settle it early, I ...... I won't bother the prince anymore. ”

She didn't really have the ability to hide her emotional changes, Guan Zhuofan saw it in her eyes, knew what was going on, and said in her heart, it's okay, it's okay - you should go too, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble can this moon cause?

He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, but I still have a few folds to read, and I always have to stay here in the study for about half an hour, please ask the princess to tell the princess and ask her to wait a little longer." ”

"Huh? Ah, okay, okay. ”

Today's task of "Gong Dai Folding", Guan Zhuofan has already completed it, and there is no more excerpt to see, this half an hour is reserved for Concubine Ligui and Princess Rong'an, mother and daughter, to talk about themselves - tonight, Guan Zhuofan said a part, part of which Concubine Ligui wanted to relay to her daughter in time.

Concubine Ligui resigned, and Guan Zhuofan was sent to the outside of the house, watching her go away with a palace lamp surrounded by maids.

Look up, the sea of clouds and dust is clear; Bow your head, the moon is like water.
