The queen's birthday, that is not a trivial matter, although the mouth keeps saying that it will not be luxurious, and Liu Yiyi also believes that this is indeed the meaning of the eldest grandson queen, after all, the simple style of the eldest grandson queen has been deeply experienced as early as when he entered the palace to see the qi disease, and even the meal of three meals a day is only the mother of a country with one meat and two vegetables, and it is indeed not the vain and extravagant person.

However, even if this is the case, people's invitations have been sent to the house, if they do not have a proper indication of their actions at that time, they will inevitably fall into the hands of people in the future, and be tongued, this great disrespectful sin, but it is not light, especially under the manipulation of some well-intentioned people, it is not an exaggeration to ask for their own little life.

Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, who have a Dao Mingjun, although they are good to themselves and have a lot of seclusion, but Liu Yiyi knows that these are just temporary phenomena, not long-term solutions, as a villain in a certain movie said, people must rely on themselves.

After sending Xiao Dezi and the eldest grandson away, regardless of the little sister's coquettish play on the side, Liu Yiyi walked back and forth in the hall to think, the queen's birthday, gifts are indispensable, but what kind of gift to give is a little embarrassing.

If it is too valuable, it will be disliked by the eldest grandson, and if it is too cheap, it will be despised by others, and it will be reprimanded for being disrespectful, although Liu Yiyi will not care about other people's opinions and evaluations, but he has to think more about the safety of himself and his family.

What's more, the second child of their family is now officially in the official career, the so-called 'someone in the court is good to be an official', if they can coax the eldest grandson queen and Li Shimin's Mingjun to rejoice, it will also be of some help to the second child of their family.

It's just that this gift is a bit difficult to get it just right. As if thinking of something, Liu Yiyi's body was stunned, his eyebrows raised slightly, thinking of the objects he ordered Liu Cheng to make and search for half a year ago, he couldn't help but blurt out softly: "If you want to do it just right, let others pick it up without half of it, only novelty!" ”

"Big brother, what do you say, don't play with Xiaohui!" Seeing the eldest brother's slightly excited appearance, Liu Xiaohui, who felt that he was being snubbed by the eldest brother, couldn't help but purse his lips and looked at Liu Yiyi with grievances.

"Huh?" Liu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was a little bit of a little girl playing around him, and he couldn't see the little sister so aggrieved, Liu Yiyi was busy squatting down, and said softly to Liu Xiaohui with a warm smile: "Xiaohui is good, why wouldn't the eldest brother accompany Xiaohui, the eldest brother just thought of some interesting stories, can't I tell them to Xiaohui now?" ”

"Ah, really?" As soon as she heard that there was a story to hear, the little girl immediately took back her pouting mouth, and Fang Cai's grievances turned into excitement and joy, and she hurriedly hugged her eldest brother's arm and said urgently: "Okay, okay, Xiaohui wants to listen, Xiaohui wants to listen......"

"Oh? Hehe, okay, let's sit down and say," Seeing the little girl's cheerful and anxious appearance, a trace of warmth and warmth appeared in Liu Yiyi's heart, and he turned around and commanded the subordinates on the side, and after sending them down, he pulled the little sister to sit down lightly, and after a little thought, he started to say: "The story of "Snow White" Big brother has already told you, today the big brother will tell you a story that is opposite and similar to her, her name is 'Cinderella'......"

Just when Liu Yiyi was leisurely telling stories to Liu Xiaohui, it was not long after Xiao Dezi returned to the palace that he heard that something unpleasant had happened in the palace.

was put in prison for more than a month, and the concubine Niangniang, who was about to be beheaded as an example after the New Year, hanged herself.

Three days before Empress Changsun's birthday, when the palace was overflowing with some joy for this matter, she died.

I have to say that this concubine is very good at picking a day, even if she dies, she also has to be disgusted with her former opponents, just like someone suddenly gave a good coffin to a couple at the wedding of a couple, which ruined the scenery.

"Bengong knows that she won't be so duty-bound, even if she goes to the prison and gets the death penalty, she won't make Bengong feel comfortable!" In the Lizheng Palace, the eldest grandson queen, who has always been kind and rarely angry, lost her temper once, her little hands were clapped loudly and red on the table, and the expression on her face was a little less charitable.

"It's just, it's just that Bengong never thought that more than ten years of sisterhood, and Bengong has always treated her sincerely, but I didn't expect that in the end, she still holds such a grudge against Bengong, that is, death, and does not forget to target Bengong...... "For the death of the Yin Concubine, the eldest grandson queen does not feel sorry, and wants to murder the emperor, the Yin concubine can be said to be innocent of death, but no matter how she and she are sisters who have been friends for more than ten years, the eldest grandson queen never thought that the Yin concubine's mind would be vicious, and even the time of death calculated herself like this.

"The queen mother is angry, it is not worth it to be so sad for a dead person." Li Chengqian, who ran to the Lizheng Hall early after getting the letter, saw that the queen mother was sitting there alone sulking as he expected, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade without thinking: "At the beginning, even her father, the emperor and his old man could be so ruthless to assassinate her, so bold and unkind, it is difficult to think of anything in this world that she can't do." ”

"Since she wants to disturb the birthday of the queen mother, then don't blame her son for being rude and change her burial period, anyway, the weather is cold now, and it can't rot if it's ten days and a half a month late!" Li Chengqian's face had a hint of ruthlessness, and he said, "Just let her stay in the coffin honestly!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Empress Eldest Sun's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and she reprimanded with displeasure: "How can this be what you, the prince of the East Palace, should say?" Even if that Yin Concubine is wrong in a thousand ways, no matter how she says it, she is also your nominal mother, how can you say such unfilial words?! ”

Compared with Concubine Yin's repeated actions, Empress Eldest Sun seemed to be even more angry at her eldest son Fang Cai's cruel words, although she knew that what he said and did was just for her own mother.

"But the queen mother ......"

"You are the crown prince and the future monarch of my Tang Dynasty, and the queen mother hopes that you will not forget this at any time." interrupted Li Chengqian's words to continue, and at the same time waved his hand to signal Xiao Dezi to retreat outside the hall with the palace maids, Empress Changsun glanced at the eldest son beside her, and said quietly: "A monarch, just like your father, in addition to the necessary deterrent measures, a benevolent and broad mind is also indispensable. ”

"Qian'er has been a well-behaved, tolerant and kind person since he was a child, and he will repay this kind of temperament, which is not suitable for you, nor for a future Tang monarch." After taking a deep look at her eldest son, Empress Eldest Sun sighed lightly, and couldn't help but mention it again: "Moreover, your father will not hand over the great rivers and mountains of my Tang Dynasty to a narrow-minded prince who does not have the slightest tolerance to inherit and take care of it." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, the son has been taught!" Understanding the implicit meaning of the queen mother's words, Li Chengqian got up and bowed to the eldest grandson queen, and then looked up at the eldest grandson queen with some reluctance, and said, "It's just that what about the queen mother's birthday in three days?" Erchen really couldn't bear to watch his mother's birthday be ruined like this. ”

"My son is filial piety!" Nodding at Li Chengqian with satisfaction, Empress Eldest Sun whispered disapprenosingly: "It's just a birthday, but it's okay, don't take it to heart." ”

Saying that, Empress Changsun couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Taiji Palace, and thought in her heart, if the emperor has a heart, he will not miss his birthday, if the emperor has no heart, it is useless to say more.

"Dead?" Hearing Li Ran's return, Li Shimin was stunned, and couldn't help but slowly raise his head: "When did it happen?" ”

"Back to the emperor, according to the report of the autopsy, Concubine Yin Niangniang did hang herself, and the hour should be around three o'clock." Carefully looking up at the emperor, Li Ran replied sharply: "When the jailer found out, it was already the end of the day, and it was too late to treat him, so he ......."

"Alright, I know." After a moment's effort, Li Shimin's expression became very tired, he raised his hand and kneaded it lightly on the tip of his eyebrows, and then ordered Li Ran: "You go to the Ministry of Rites to order, the funeral of the concubine is all up to the general concubines......"

"Well, also, on the day of the burial, bring the King of Qi out as well, as a son of man, he will be indispensable that day." After speaking, he waved his hand at Li Ran a little weakly, and Li Shimin sat there with a somewhat lost face, no longer speaking. One night husband and wife for a hundred days, not to mention the concubines who have lived together for more than ten years, it is a lie to say that they are not sad.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the villain will do it." Bowing down and responding lightly, Li Ran did not withdraw from the hall according to Li Shimin's wishes, but boldly glanced up at Li Shimin, and reminded him in a screaming voice: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, the villain doesn't know whether to talk about it or not......

"Say!" Raising his eyes and glancing at Li Ran, Li Shimin, who was in a bad mood, said lightly.

"Yes, the emperor," the emperor looked at him tightly, Li Ran hurriedly bowed and replied: "If it is buried according to the specifications of ordinary concubines, the day of the burial of the concubine should be three days later, and the day of the three days will be ......."

"Huh?" Before Li Ran finished speaking, Li Shimin suddenly understood the meaning of Li Ran's words, and at the same time, a wave of anger and anger also rose in his chest, that is, if you are dead, do you want to fight with the queen? For a while, the trace of loss that swelled up in Li Shimin's heart after learning of the death of Concubine Yin disappeared without a trace.

"Inform the Ministry of Rites that the funeral is one day in advance, and everything in the court will be as usual that day!" In the midst of indignation, Li Shimin issued such a will in his mouth, and it was obvious that he would not go on the day of the funeral.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gao responded, Li Ran bowed and withdrew from the hall, and when he turned around at the palace gate, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
