Losing her only son and her only hope, the dignified queen of the Li Dynasty seemed to be dozens of years old in just a few months, with a lot of hair, haggard, and no longer able to raise the spirit to deal with the affairs of the harem. Except for the New Year's Eve banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, she almost never left the Yongyang Hall, and she never even took a step at the gate of the dormitory. Seeing that the queen was so depressed, the eldest aunt didn't know how many words she persuaded and how many tears she wiped behind her back, so she went to Zichen Hall in private to ask Emperor Li to come and see the queen. But for Li Zheng's affairs, Emperor Li himself can't take care of himself, where is he in the mood to visit this wife who is blindly crying, depressed and useless?

On this day, I don't know what wind was blowing, so Li Nan came to Yongyang Hall to spread the word, saying that His Majesty was coming for dinner, so let everyone prepare first. The eldest aunt was naturally very happy when she heard this, and hurriedly asked the dining room to prepare food, and ran to the dormitory several times in a row, wanting to serve the queen to freshen up and change clothes, but the queen always leaned on the bed with tears in her eyes and refused to move.

"Niangniang, my mother, Your Majesty is willing to come, it must be for the sake of many years of love, thinking that although the prince is gone, but you are still husband and wife, always have to live together, knowing that you have been sad and sad for many days, this is to come to talk to you well, comfort and relieve you, and it is also Your Majesty who attaches great importance to you will be so, you should get up and dress up one or two, so as to get close to Your Majesty's heart. You see, these days, you cry day and night, you don't know anything about the outside world, but you don't know how many gossips are in this harem now, and how many people chew their tongues behind their backs!"

"Zheng'er is gone...... The two unsuccessful princes are dead, wasted, and the virtuous concubine is not in good health and cannot be favored and conceived, and the harem is full of lifelessness, what else can happen......" The queen was about to cry hard, rubbing her eyes and still feeling that her eyes were blurry, and muttered, "Even if Your Majesty favors which concubine, even if she is pregnant, can she immediately give birth to an adult prince who is worthy of heavy responsibilities and convinced by the courtiers, can she immediately be like the Zheng'er of this palace......"

The eldest aunt helped the queen to the dresser and said in a low voice: "What the mother said is good, there is really such a person in the palace now...... It's just that the royal bloodline is such a big deal, this person's identity and bloodline have not yet been recognized, but His Majesty has kept him to live in the Zichen Hall for three months. If he is false, after three months, wouldn't Your Majesty have already verified that he is going to be blown out?"

The queen looked at the eldest aunt in a daze, and only after a while did she come to her senses, and asked with a frown, "What did you say?"

"This person is twenty years old, and he said that he was the son of a guard surnamed Jin by his side when the first emperor of Wei was a proton in our dynasty, and his name was Liancheng. ”

"Son of the Guard, how can the Son of the Guard be of royal blood?"

"This person seems to have something to do with Yao Jin, the lord of the country who left Beijing to seal the domain, when Yao Jin was still in the palace as Princess Ya, he begged His Majesty to find him a good errand, and His Majesty let him go to Beiping Army, but this person disappeared not long after he went to Beiping, and then somehow became a red man in front of the King of the Jungle, and helped Xiaonanguo to open up a trade road from the dense forest to the border of the Wei State, saying that it was not until half a year ago that the Jin family was infected with the plague and the whole family was gone, and he did not return to Beijing. However, somehow, it was rumored throughout the capital that he was not the son of the guard Jin Changqing, but the son of Jin Changqing's sister Jin Changqin, this Jin Changqin was a woman that our Majesty had been looking for for several years after he ascended the throne, but because of her death, the Jin family concealed the news, so His Majesty has not been able to find it. ”

"Can't stop it - this Jin Liancheng is the child of Jin Changqin and His Majesty?" The queen took the hand of the eldest aunt who was about to give her a thrush, "There were countless affairs of Your Majesty back then, and before and after ascending the throne, the palace also dealt with many lowly women who wanted to cling to the royal family, but this Jin Changqin, the palace has never heard of it." ”

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he often went out of the palace in private, and the mother didn't worry about this matter, isn't it that His Majesty frequently went out of the palace back then, not to visit beautiful women, but to find this woman?"

The queen held her forehead to recall the past, although Emperor Li was quite romantic when he was young, but he didn't have a special affection for any woman, but most of them were lost when they turned their heads. The queen stared for a long time but didn't come up with any eyebrows, shook her head and said: "It's not like, if it's just to find a woman out of the palace, how can this palace find out back then." Now that after so many years, no one has mentioned this Jin Changqin, and His Majesty himself has not mentioned it, why is it that the Zheng'er of this palace has just disappeared, and such words have come out - Mo No, Mo Isn't there a person with ill intentions who wants to seek the throne?"

The eldest aunt looked at the queen with a look of surprise, and hurriedly made a forbidden gesture, "Niang Niang be cautious! Now Your Majesty attaches great importance to that person, I don't know what to do." ”

The two were about to continue, when a palace maid outside the door announced: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Your Majesty has arrived at the gate of Yongyang Palace." ”

The queen hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, and when she heard that His Majesty had arrived at the gate of her palace, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart for a while, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised and her eyes were dim, and she finally took a breath and said, "Let's change the clothes of the palace first." ”

When the queen was about to arrive at the main hall, the palace maid came to report that His Majesty was enjoying spring in the garden, and the queen walked quickly to the garden behind the Yongyang Palace, and saw that Emperor Li was standing in front of the spring flowers next to a rockery, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The concubine knocks on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." The concubine failed to greet His Majesty in front of the palace, and asked His Majesty to forgive her sins. ”

"Okay, what is the crime or not, the queen hasn't met with the widow for a while, so it's rusty. Emperor Li said very kindly, but he didn't say to let the queen get up, nor did he stretch out his hand to pull her, but just looked at the cluster of goose yellow and pretty spring flowers, and seemed to be very distracted.

"Concubine...... The concubine knew that she had been unwell recently, and many harem affairs had been neglected, and she had failed to fulfill her duties as a concubine, failed to serve Her Majesty well, and asked Her Majesty to surrender her guilt. ”

"I just said, where are there so many crimes, what's wrong with the queen today?" The emperor turned around and pulled the empress who was kneeling on the ground up, looked at the look on her face, and smiled: "The queen looks good today." ”

"Knowing that His Majesty is coming, Niangniang was overjoyed, and her complexion was naturally good. The eldest aunt on the side looked at the emperor's face and said cautiously: "There is white tea that His Majesty likes every day in the flower hall, as well as the fresh Qilin Pavilion dim sum just sent by the Shang Food Bureau, do you want to use some?"

"Well, this will be a little hungry, the queen will accompany the widow to use some. It just so happened that I had something to tell the queen. ”

The queen was stunned, and seemed to hesitate to glance at the eldest aunt next to her, the eldest aunt shook her head, and the queen followed the emperor into the flower hall.
