In the prince's bedroom, the third prince Yuancheng mysteriously leaned into the ear of the prince Yuanxiang and whispered: "Big brother, the second brother will go back after leaving the queen's bedroom!" ”

"Oh!" , Prince Yuanxiang obviously didn't put his mind here, and responded perfunctorily.

"Big brother, you are the crown prince! But the second brother didn't come to visit you after returning to the palace, isn't it too rude?! Seeing that Yuan Xiang did not react, Yuan Cheng thought that the latter did not understand what he meant, and said again.

"Okay, Yuancheng! Your second brother has been on the border for the past few years, and he forgot the rules of the palace for a while, what's the big deal? Are you going to be verbose here?! Yuan Xiang scolded dissatisfiedly.

"Big brother, I didn't mean that! I just heard-", Yuan Cheng said this, deliberately elongating the sound and selling the lawsuit.

"What did you hear?" , Yuan Xiang really showed a nervous look on his face, and hurriedly asked.

"I heard that my father is going to canonize the second brother as the crown prince after the Chongyang family banquet!" , Yuan Cheng bowed slightly and spoke, and a hint of gloom flashed in his long narrow eyes.

"Oh!" , Yuan Xiang saw that what Yuan Cheng said was not the same thing as what he thought, and he was obviously relieved, and said: "The sacred heart is unpredictable, don't speculate indiscriminately." ”

"Big brother? Aren't you worried? Yuan Cheng said with some surprise when he saw Yuan Xiang's indifferent look.

"Yuan Cheng, what do you think I should worry about?" , Yuan Xiang finally reacted, turned his head and looked at Yuan Cheng seriously, and asked in a cold voice.

"No, no, I'm just talking casually, nothing else." , Yuan Cheng knew that Yuan Xiang was suspicious, so he bowed down and left the prince's bedroom.

"Founding the country, no return, Shengping, Chenshi!" The eunuchs on duty carried the bronze bells and struck them, and walked through the palace and screamed.

In front of the queen's bedroom, Jiang Chan, the maid of the medicine palace, carried a rosewood plate, led a group of palace maids to kneel in front of the yellow gauze tent, and said in a low voice: "The slave maid visits the queen, and the medicine is decoction!" ”

"......", the queen's embroidery hand paused slightly, glanced at Jiang Chan outside the tent, and continued to embroider golden chrysanthemums, and asked seemingly casually: "You are Jiang Chan?" ”

"Yes!"

"Imperial Physician Jiang is your father?"

"Yes!"

The queen sneered in her heart, and asked again: "Recently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's complexion is not very good, and his body has become more and more weak!" ”

"The slave doesn't know." , Jiang Chan lowered her head and whispered.

"Really?" , The queen stopped the needle and thread in her hand, looked at Jiang Chan for a while, and then said coldly: "Come in!" ”

"No!" , Jiang Chan bowed down and walked into the yellow gauze tent, took the green jade bowl of the palace maid with her, poured a bowl full of black herbs, and served it to the queen.

"......", the queen forcibly suppressed the nausea in her heart, picked up the jade bowl "Gudu" and "Gudu" and drank a big sip, and then threw it on the wooden plate.

"The queen ......", Jiang Chan glanced at the remaining herbs at the bottom of the bowl and reminded in a low voice.

The queen endured her anger and poured out the remaining herbs in the jade bowl in front of Jiang Chan, and then said coldly: "Go down!" ”

"Yes......", Jiang Chan didn't dare to disobey the queen, so she had to take the rosewood plate and lead the palace maids away, and after informing Imperial Doctor Jiang of the matter, she sneaked into the prince's bedroom......

Early in the morning of the second day, the eunuchs and palace maids in Weiyang Palace were full of golden chrysanthemums under the chrysanthemum platform in front of the Zhengyang Palace, full of tens of thousands of pots, facing the golden sun, swaying gently with the wind.

"Brother Yaozhi ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood!" , the king Xia Qing in a golden dragon robe admired the chrysanthemums and recited the poems of the chrysanthemums in his mouth.

Subsequently, he saw the queen, the prince, He Qizheng and Yuan Cheng coming from under the chrysanthemum platform, and seemed to be moved and said: "Yuan Jie has returned to the palace, and our family will be reunited!" ”

"......", the queen, the prince, and Yuan Cheng didn't know what medicine was sold in the king's gourd, so they didn't dare to respond, and stood silently under the boxy square table.

"......", He Qizheng was too lazy to take care of the king's disease-free Shenyin, thinking that he was not the "protagonist" today, so he looked at his nose and nose, and stood aside silently.

"Do you know why I want to drink with you on the Double Ninth Festival?" , King Xia Qing squinted his eyes and swept over the four people under the table, then raised his hand to give him a seat, and asked slowly.

"Father!" , Yuan Cheng had the intention to show off his knowledge in front of the king, and hurriedly got up and replied: "On September 9th, the two nines are overlapping, the sun and the moon are yang, so it is called Chongyang!"

It is suitable for a long time, when parents and brothers help the old and the young to climb the feast together!! ”

"You're saying a great deal! The high platform is round, and the table is square, what is this called? ”

The king looked at the expressions of the few people in front of the table coldly, and continued: "This is called the round sky! Taking the law from heaven and earth is a rule!

In this circle, you are in your place, and this is also the rule! Just like the father and son of the monarch and the minister, loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, and righteousness, it can't be messed up! ”

"......", the crown prince and queen are calm on the surface, but they are already uneasy in their hearts, and they always feel that the king is implying that they have messed up the rules and broken ethics!

"Is there anything you guys are up to?" After the king knocked on it, he saw that everyone was silent, so he opened his mouth and asked.

"Father, my son wants to go to Qingzhou to the border, please ask my father for permission!" After listening to the king's words, Prince Yuanxiang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he was weak, so he hurriedly got up and said.

"Okay, why do you want to go to the border?" , King Xia Qing seemed to be interested, raised his eyes and looked at his once most beloved son and asked.

"Erchen has lived in the palace for a long time, and I want to go out to practice!" , Yuan Xiang didn't dare to look at the king, and lowered his head to reply.

The king glanced coldly at the queen, who pretended to be calm, and did not answer or refuse, but asked again, "What else is the matter?" ”

"Father, the son is in trouble!" , Yuan Cheng got up again and said.

"What?"

"Erchen, I don't know if it's appropriate ......," Yuan Cheng hesitated.

"Let's talk about it if you think about it!" , King Xia Qing has never paid much attention to this son, and he no longer pays attention to him when he sees him.

Then, he turned his head to look at the queen, his eyes burned, and he asked in a deep voice, "Chenshi's medicine, you drank two sips less?" ”

"......", the queen did not respond, and squinted at Prince Jiang and Jiang Chan's father and daughter, obviously the two of them told the king.

"Do you still have any medicine?" ，

"King Qi, there are still some left." , Jiang Chan replied in a low voice.

"Make it up!" , the king said indifferently.

"Yes!" , Jiang Chan hurriedly got up, trotted all the way back to the imperial medicine shop to get a small bowl of herbs back, and presented it to the queen.

"King, the concubine is not sick at all!" When the queen saw that the king was forcing herself to drink medicine in front of everyone, she immediately said with a cold face.

"That's your opinion!" , the king didn't blink his eyelids, and continued: If you take medicine, you have to do it on time! That's the rule!! ”

"......", the queen grabbed the phoenix skirt with both hands, staring at the indifferent prince Yuanxiang opposite with her eyes, and felt sad in her heart.

"Yuan Cheng!" , the king suddenly shouted.

"No!" Yuan Chengcheng got up from his seat, knelt down in front of the queen, and begged with a wailing voice: "Queen Mother, don't make your father angry!" Drink it!! ”

"......", the queen was unmoved, her two eyes were still staring at the prince Yuanxiang, and her heart was hateful and painful.

Prince Yuanxiang finally couldn't sit still, hurriedly rushed over, snatched the jade bowl with his hand, and then knelt on the ground with a "plop", presented the medicine to the queen with both hands, and persuaded: "Queen Mother, please take the medicine!" ”

"......", the queen trembled her lips and turned her head to look at the prince Yuanxiang in front of her, who looked like she was begging her to drink medicine.

She really didn't expect that the man she had been with day and night for 3 years would be so ruthless and weak, and she didn't even dare to say a word about fighting against the king for her!

"If your queen mother doesn't drink, then you will always kneel!" , King Xia Qing saw that the queen seemed to be going against him, and shouted angrily.

"Queen Mother, you've been drinking for so many years, why bother?!" , Prince Yuanxiang persuaded again.

"Yes! I've been drinking it for so many years, so why bother?! Seeing that the two princes did not dare to disobey the king, the queen only came to persuade herself to drink medicine, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

Moreover, her other prince "Yuan Jie", although he did not come to persuade her to drink medicine, he also sat there like a lump of wood from beginning to end, without saying a word......

Seeing this, the queen was disheartened, but finally took the bowl of herbs and drank it all, swallowing it into her stomach with the tears in her heart......

"Do you know that your mother is sick?" , The king saw that the queen had drunk the medicine, the expression on his face softened slightly, and he looked at a few princes and asked.

"Erchen knows." , Prince Yuanxiang, Third Prince Yuancheng and even He Qizheng also replied in unison.

After all, in He Qizheng's eyes, even if the queen is not physically sick, she must be psychologically ill, otherwise who can disregard her husband's face and son's face, and do such ugly things with her juniors?

The reason why people are human beings is that they can abide by their own bodies, do something and do nothing! Otherwise, everyone will mess up the ethics of the Gangchang, how is that different from the beasts who can only make friends?

"If you are sick, you have to take medicine, is there anything wrong?" , the king took advantage of the beating on the chrysanthemum platform to give the "queen medicine" a hammer.

"Nope!" , He Qi is replying loudly in his heart.

"What did you just want to say?" , King Xia Qing suddenly asked Yuan Chengdao.

"Father, this year's Double Ninth Festival, the son wants to be the commander on duty, so let's have a good experience!" , Yuan Cheng bowed and replied.

"Now that Yuan Jie is back, he should be the commander on duty!" , King Xia Qing looked at He Qizheng, who had been silent, and said: "Yuan Jie, the commander on duty commands the palace royal forest army and guards the safety of the palace!" Do you understand what it means?! ”

"Erchen understands that Erchen will never live up to his father's trust!" , He Qizheng showed an expression of "honor" on his face, and got up to bow to the king.

However, he was thinking about another thing in his heart: Little brother Jay, your style of play is pure nonsense, let's see how I attacked Weiyang Palace!
