The sixth prince looked at Queen Pei with a condensed expression, and his heart was turbulent.

He had long noticed that the queen mother was not close to her mother's family. In the past, Mrs. Yong'an Hou often entered the palace to ask for peace, and after her cousin entered the palace to become a doctor, Queen Pei almost never summoned her mother's sister-in-law. When mentioning Yong'an Hou, he was also extremely cold.

The words just now undoubtedly showed Queen Pei's intentions.

Empress Pei deeply hated and hated Yong'an Hou.

Why?

There seemed to be a thick fog before his eyes. He seemed to vaguely see something, but he couldn't seem to see anything clearly. Doubts converged in his mind.

However, Queen Pei refused to say more, and slowly walked forward.

The sixth prince had to put down the doubts in his heart and accompanied Queen Pei around the garden.

……

The next day, after the six princes came out of the upper study, they went to see Cheng Jinrong alone.

Du Ti went to Changle Palace to see Princess Shouning. There was only Cheng Jinrong on duty for the imperial doctor. When the sixth prince stepped in, Cheng Jinrong was concentrating on looking down at the medical case in his hand.

Hearing the footsteps, Cheng Jinrong raised his head, and then got up to greet him with a little surprise: "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

The six princes have long been taught as future princes, with a lot of homework every day, and they have to accompany them, so they are hardly idle. She often met with the Six Princes in front of the Imperial Palace, but the Six Princes had not come to her in private for a long time.

The sixth prince obviously had something on his mind, and Chong Cheng Jinrong smiled: "Cousin Rong, I want to talk to you alone for a while." ”

Cheng Jinrong's mind turned slightly, he had guessed a few points, and responded with a smile: "Okay." ”

Without waiting for Cheng Jinrong's order, the palace maid who was waiting on the side had already retreated.

Cheng Jinrong didn't rush to ask, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of hot medicinal tea for the six princes: "This is wolfberry chrysanthemum tea, which has the effect of clearing the heart and removing dryness and brightening the eyes." Your Highness has a drink. ”

The sixth prince smiled and thanked him, took it and took a sip.

Maybe it was because the medicinal tea really had the effect of clearing the heart and removing dryness, or maybe it was because Cheng Jinrong was extra relieved by his side, and his slightly chaotic mind quickly calmed down.

After half a cup of tea in his mouth, Cheng Jinrong asked softly: "Your Highness seems to be in a bad mood today, is it because of Yong'an Hou?" ”

The sixth prince glanced at Cheng Jinrong deeply, and asked instead of answering: "Cousin Rong, I have always been very strange. You grew up in the Yong'an Hou Mansion since you were a child, and the Yong'an Hou has nurtured you. Why are you so estranged from him? When it comes to him, there are only three words Yong'an Hou, and I have never heard you call your uncle. ”

"You moved out of Pei's house three months before Ji Lu and returned to Cheng Mansion. After that, he never stepped on the door of the Pei family again. ”

"You and Pei Zhang's cousin are childhood sweethearts, and they should have been born together. But you resolutely broke off with him. Of course, the character and martial arts of Captain He's family are more outstanding. You and Captain He are also a natural pair. I'm just wondering, why on earth did you break with Pei Zhang so decisively? ”

"Cousin Rong, these questions have always been in my heart. If you never mention it, I won't ask either. Today, I opened my mouth to ask you, can you tell me? ”

Cheng Jinrong: "......"

Looking at those dark and clear eyes, Cheng Jinrong couldn't tell any lies.

But how could the cruel and terrible truth be told to him?

Cheng Jinrong pursed the corners of his mouth, and complex and contradictory pain flashed in his eyes.

Silent for a long time.

The sixth prince looked at Cheng Jinrong so quietly and stubbornly, waiting for an answer.

Cheng Jinrong finally looked away and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I don't want to lie to you. ”

The sixth prince was not surprised, and muttered, "You don't want to lie to me, but you don't want to tell me the truth." Right? ”

Cheng Jinrong's eyes were slightly hot, and his nose was pantothenic: "Yes." I can't say. ”

How can I tell you that your own mother is also my own mother!

How can I tell you that your birth was an accident that no one expected!

How can I tell you that you have been living in a vain lie!

From the perspective of the six princes, you can see Cheng Jinrong's reddened eyes, as well as the sadness and sadness in his eyes. The sixth prince only felt that there were thousands of catties of boulders, and they fell heavily on his heart.

After a long time, the sixth prince said: "If you can't say it, don't say it!" As long as you are sincere to me, and the queen mother really cherishes me, it is enough. ”

Cheng Jinrong's nose was even more sour, and he resisted the urge to cry, turned his head and smiled at the sixth prince: "Your Highness, don't think too much. It's all old things, and it has nothing to do with His Highness. ”

Therefore, these old things must have something to do with him.

The sixth prince thought silently in his heart, and squeezed out a smile: "It's okay." After a pause, he repeated yesterday's events: "...... Yong'an Hou always showed favor everywhere, and invited me to Pei's house when he opened his mouth. The queen mother asked me not to deal with Yong'an Hou, let alone go to Pei's house. ”

Cheng Jinrong took over the conversation without thinking: "The queen mother said this, there must be a reason for the mother." You just listen to your mother's orders! ”

The Sixth Prince nodded.

Next, the two tacitly opened the topic and gossiped.

It wasn't until Emperor Xuanhe, the servant of the Inner Palace, came to invite the six princes to have lunch together, that the six princes got up and left.

The moment he walked out of the door, the sixth prince quickly glanced back at Cheng Jinrong.

Cheng Jinrong stood there pretty, his eyes shining and his lips smiling. The previous emotional agitation was exposed, and there was no trace of it.

The smile on the face of the sixth prince was as usual, but he sighed long in his heart. With a sense of confusion and helplessness that I don't understand.

……

At the end of November, Yong'an Hou wrote again, please establish a prince!

Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Liang Shangshu of the Household Department also made their own concerts and asked the Son of Heaven to make a decree.

The Duke of Weiguo and the Duke of Yasukuni, who have not moved, have also been put on the setback. Pingxi Hou and other generals also played one after another, although the candidates for the prince may not be the same, but the intention of the prince is equally urgent. Even the Duke of Pingguo, who was far away at the border, also went to the request to establish the prince.

Xuanhe Dilong's body is weak, and he doesn't know how many years he can last. The state has a prince, and the people's hearts are determined.

Emperor Xuanhe finally "let go", and at the end of the year, he opened his mouth and issued an edict to set up the six princes as the princes.

The six princes who went to the court for the first time in their lives, under the attention of hundreds of civil and military officials, stepped forward steadily, knelt down and kowtowed, and received the decree to thank him.

Growing up at the beginning of his youth, he has a handsome face, bright eyes, and a posture like a bamboo.

Emperor Xuanhe looked at his beloved son, his eyes were unprecedentedly gentle and loving: "Yuanchen, I have established you as the prince, and I hope you will live up to my expectations and be an excellent prince." ”

The sixth prince replied loudly: "The sons and daughters must do their best to live up to the high expectations of their father!" ”

Hundreds of civil and military officials have spoken out to praise the newly released Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The eldest prince standing in the Jinluan Hall squeezed out a stiff smile, and the resentment in his heart was unwilling, almost bursting through his chest.
