Ye Xiang came to the Qianqing Palace, accompanied by Zhang Weixian, Liu Yixian, Luo Sigong, Wang An and Wang Tiqian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This body's biological mother Wang Cairen died last year, and now his biological father is gone, which is a painful blow to a 16-year-old child, and the original Zhu Youxiao will also return to the Qianqing Palace, because there are his closest people here.

Wang Tiqian, nearly 50 years old, the palm print of the East Palace Seal Bureau, the Seal Bureau is the head of the six bureaus of the East Palace, and the others are the soldiers, the soldiers, the clothes, the meals, and the medicines, he is the biggest official in the East Palace.

The sun was scorching outside, but it was cold and biting in the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, because there were several wooden barrels containing ice cubes to cool down. Indoor under the south window is a wooden kang, called the bright room; There are two floors to the north, the upper part is called the fairy building, and the next part is divided into two, the left is the dragon bed, and the right is the staircase leading to the fairy building.

Zhu Changluo's body is on the dragon bed downstairs at the moment, his body has changed into a dragon robe, he is wearing a crown of golden silk wings, and his face is covered with a white cloth, but he can't see the horror.

The deceased is the greatest, Ye Xiang first came to the dragon bed and knelt down to bow three times, and then got up, unable to say what he felt in his heart. He brushed away Wang An's hand that wanted to block, took off the hood, and looked at the unfortunate emperor carefully.

Just like what Ye Xiang saw in the morning when he was in a trance, Zhu Changluo's face was thin, his eyebrows were like willow leaves, he had a mustache, and his lips were as thin as paper. After sighing secretly, Ye Xiang thought to himself, is this the thin life in the face? Because of his birth, he did not please his father Wanli's love, he was careful all his life, and it was easy to be crowned the prince or walking on thin ice, and finally ascended to the throne.

Zhu Changluo is like a mirror, making Ye Xiang seem to see the near future, could he also drink the spirit dew drink sent by others when he was dying, leaving a mystery to future generations? Can I get rid of this fate? Ye Xiang was a little confused.

Covered with a hood, Ye Xiang came to Xinuan Pavilion with an expressionless face, knelt down and saluted Xi Li who was sitting in the bright room, and then got up and looked at the hole that he had smashed out of the morning in a daze, quietly waiting for Xi Li's reprimand.

"Brother, do you still know how to come back? How old are you to not listen to discipline? Do you know who is lying on the dragon bed in the East Warm Pavilion? That's your biological father. Since the death of Cairen, I have been taking Li as my own flesh and blood, for fear that you will be hungry and freezing, you ask yourself, has my aunt ever treated you badly? Xi Li was almost shouting at the top of his throat, and after a long pause, he didn't see Ye Xiang respond, so he changed to a serious tone and continued, "Of course, sometimes I am more strict with you, but you must know that my aunt's ultimate goal is also for your good, and I hope you will become a person who is useful to the country and the family." Auntie's hard work, why don't you understand? ”

Ye Xiang knew that filial piety was great since ancient times, although Xi Li was not his biological mother, but after all, he had raised Zhu Youxiao for more than a year, and there was a folk proverb that 'the biological mother is not as big as the adoptive mother', so according to Wang An's previous point, he responded with low eyebrows: "You Xiao always remembers the teachings of my aunt, and I dare not forget it for a while." ”

Xi Li pointed to the hole that had not yet had time to be repaired, and almost jumped up, "You dare not forget?" Did I teach that before? Is it harmful for you to let your younger brothers and sisters rest here? Also, when the ministers kidnapped you, did you not hear the call from behind me? Don't forget, I'm your adoptive mother, and this can't be changed, and the filial piety you usually teach, you have thrown it to Java. ”

Ye Xiang still held his patience and defended in a low voice, "At the beginning of the period, I just wanted to visit my father, and I saw that Tian Zhao and the others closed the door and refused to let them out of the warm pavilion, so they smashed the window in a hurry. As for meeting the ministers, I can't help myself, so I ask my aunt to forgive me. ”

"You...... Okay, okay, what's going on with the captain outside the door? What about the original Han generals? ”

Luo Sigong waited by the side, never interjected, listened to Xi Li's inquiry, and immediately stepped forward to explain, "Back to Niangniang's words, now that Long is driving the guests, in order to prevent accidents, the captain outside the hall is just on duty as usual, and there is nothing wrong with it." And, the behavior of the mother and the mother is not limited, please be considerate of the filial piety of the ministers. ”

"Luo Sigong, you, don't forget, the emperor and the emperor let you take charge of the Jinyi Guard, but it is a trust in you, you have no will and make your own decisions now, aren't you afraid that the black veil on your head will not be guaranteed?"

"Niangniang, the old minister is the commander of the emperor's order, the head of the emperor's army, only listen to the holy decree and ignore the order, this is the ancestral law. Today, the eldest son of the emperor is the prince, which is known to the world, and the ministers dare not obey the will of the mother. ”

Xi Li shivered angrily, "You, are you going to rebel?" ”

"Coveting the great treasure is the rebel thief, the old minister was appointed to the first emperor, loyal to my Ming Emperor, this life is unswerving. Now, the emperor's eldest son is about to ascend to the pole, and the old minister has not left his side for a moment, where does this rebellion start? ”

Xi Li found that it was not advantageous to argue with Wenchen, and he was inferior everywhere, so he stopped talking nonsense with him, turned to Ye Xiang and said, "Brother, as an adoptive mother, my aunt has never dared to live up to the trust of the emperor and the present emperor, and she has always taken good care of you. Now, you are still young, you don't know what people are afraid of, in order to avoid being coerced, stay in this Qianqing Palace from now on, don't go back to Ciqing Palace. ”

Liu Yixiao couldn't bear it either, and interjected, "Why did Niangniang say this, the Qianqing Palace is to the inner court what the Imperial Palace is to the outer court, but the emperor lives in the sky, and only the queen can live together with the sky." Other concubines, although they enter the palace in turn, are not allowed to live permanently, and when they move to the palace in case of great death, they are not only to avoid suspicion, but also to be respectful and humble, not to be noble and lowly. Niangniang is neither the mother-in-law nor the biological mother of the prince, but she lives in the main palace, and the etiquette is not in line, and the minister dares to ask Niangniang to move to his palace to correct her name. ”

When Xi Li heard this, he slapped the table and got up, angrily pointed at Liu Yixiao and said, "The surname Liu, the emperor has just passed away, and the body is still in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the bones are not cold." Are you going to drive out our orphans and widows? You are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but here you are separating our mother and son, how vicious your heart is. ”

Seeing that he was about to quarrel again, Ye Xiang hurriedly spoke up to stop him, "Your Excellency, can you let me say a few words alone with my aunt." ”

"Your Highness......" The British Duke and others all felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to speak out to stop it.

Ye Xiang was not the previous Zhu Youxiao, he waved his hand to stop them from thinking about what to say, and continued, "You guys exit the hall first, my aunt is my adoptive mother, it will be fine, stay with you." ”

Seeing Ye Xiang's undoubted tone, everyone had to withdraw from Xinuan Pavilion and stand outside the door watching from afar, not daring to stay away. Ye Xiang saw that the windows in the house were still closed, so he asked Wang An to open the windows. After that, a burst of heat mixed with the high chirping of autumn cicadas hit the face.

Ye Xiang didn't wait for Xi Li to greet him, he took the initiative to go to the side of the wooden kang and sit down, playing with the teacup on the kang table, thinking about the opening remarks. Wang An took the opportunity to fill the teacups of the two with fragrant tea and stood aside, he wanted to hear what the future emperor had to say.

"I can also guess the reason why my aunt won't let me leave the Qianqing Palace, so I won't break it. Presumably, my aunt also understands the attitude of the ministers, if I guess correctly, tomorrow there will be ministers who ask my aunt to leave the Qianqing Palace. ”

"You are still young, and you do not know the hatefulness of those ministers who are full of loyalty and intrigue behind their backs, and I am afraid that you will be deceived by them to achieve their ulterior purposes. Even the former emperor and the emperor often sighed that it was not the emperor who was in charge of this great tomorrow, but those courtiers. ”

"My aunt's concerns are understood by the school. But I've grown up, I can't take care of politics and I will learn, do you want to keep me locked up like a bird in this Qianqing Palace? Ye Xiang smiled slyly, "Or do you want to listen to politics?" Acting for the Imperial Power? ”

Xi Li was embarrassed to be seen through, and quibbled, "I'm doing this for you, and I'm also thinking about the Daming Jiangshan Society." ”

"Auntie, the harem doesn't interfere in politics, it's the ancestral training. Not to mention that the ancestors and ancestors did not agree to this matter, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and I would not agree. A sneer appeared on the corner of Ye Xiang's mouth, "If you take the initiative to move out from now on, it will give people the wisdom of both the demeanor of an elder and the overall situation, and the school can guarantee to follow your father's will and crown you as your father's concubine, and will treat the eight sisters well; If you insist on refusing, you don't need me to speak, and then the ministers will let you move, and then you will have no choice, even if I want to obey my father's will, I am afraid that the ministers will find many reasons to prevaricate, you must go to that step, everyone tears their faces to be willing? ”

Xi Li's eyes widened, she couldn't believe her ears, is this still the school brother she has raised for more than a year? Why did you become so aggressive after not seeing each other for half a day?

Ye Xiang ignored the difference in her eyes and continued, "Auntie, I regard you as my own mother, if you treat me as your own, you should understand the meaning of the words 'parents are for their children'. Even if you can control me for a while now, can you really stop the eagle from soaring for nine days? What's more, as the eldest son of the emperor, I am regarded as the Son of Heaven and a dragon. ”

Xi Li came back from her astonishment, she thought about it a lot, for a long time, after a long time, finally she thought of Concubine Zheng Guifei, who had been united with her, and asked Ye Xiang, "What about your imperial grandmother?" Your imperial grandfather agreed to seal it. ”

Ye Xiang was a little speechless, "This matter has already been decided, my father didn't agree, and I won't agree either." Do you think, if Grandmother Zheng is named the queen mother, where will you put your father? Do you want to welcome Uncle Wang to Beijing? Do you think he'll be like me to you? ”

Xi Li seemed to be a little moved, but she was not in a hurry to express her position, but said vaguely, "Let my aunt think about it." ”

Ye Xiang was not in a hurry, as for the matter of Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, thinking that since it had passed, pursuing it would only make things more complicated, so he never mentioned it.

In silence, Zhu Youzhen walked in with Zhu Huiyuan, and there was still a glass box in his hand, and from time to time there were bursts of long sounds, and when he saw Ye Xiang, he kept talking, "Big brother, are you back?" You were taken away by the ministers in the morning, and I thought I would never see you again. Later, someone sent milk, saying that it was sent by the eldest brother, and I knew that you were fine, and I was going to go to Ciqing Palace with the eighth sister to find you to catch it. ”

Ye Xiang sincerely fell in love with this younger brother who was as ill-fated as Zhu Youxiao, pulled him over like a qualified eldest brother, smiled and pointed to the glass box and asked, "Did you catch it yourself by climbing a tree?" Come, let my brother see, is there anything hurt? ”

"Big brother, we're fine, this is Gonggong Li asked someone to arrest us. I was also given a snuff box, you see, it's beautiful. Does Big Brother like it? I'll give it to you. Zhu Youzhen's heart warmed, and he said with some invitation, and handed the box to Ye Xiang.

Ye Xiang thought of the sticky rod from the cicada, and was secretly sighing for the emperor's power, but saw Zhu Youzhen holding the box he was going to hand to him in both hands, looking at himself with a blank eye, smiling embarrassedly, putting Xi Li's matter aside for the time being, taking the delicate 'snuff box', and looking at it carefully.
