The good news that Cheng Jinrong gave birth to a pair of twin sons came into the palace yesterday.

Empress Pei was both happy and afraid.

Fortunately, Cheng Jinrong left the palace in time, otherwise, he would have had a stomachache attack in the palace. Now that she, the queen, is unable to protect herself, it is not easy to protect her daughter. It's better to go back to He's house and give birth to a child.

When the six princes learned of this good news, they were also very happy, and when they asked Queen Pei to say goodbye, they sent all the palace maids out. Only then did he laugh in a low voice: "Cousin Rong gave birth to a pair of twins safely, and it is really fortunate that there is no danger." ”

Cheng Jinrong entered the palace with his pregnant belly and exchanged blood for Emperor Xuanhe and Empress Pei, and there was a fetal gas in the middle. It is also expected that the child will be born prematurely.

Fortunately, the mother and child are safe, and they can rest assured.

Queen Pei's eyes flashed with joy: "Yes, it's good that the mother and son are safe." ”

I only hate her involuntarily, and I can't go out of the palace to see my daughter, nor can I reward Cheng Jinrong as much as I did in the past. Now, Emperor Xuanhe already knows that Cheng Jinrong is her biological daughter. She has to maintain an appropriate degree of "goodness" to Cheng Jinrong, so as not to make Emperor Xuanhe unhappy.

Thinking of this, Empress Pei's eyes darkened.

The sixth prince knew Empress Pei's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "The queen mother will bear with it for the time being." My father was not angry, and my mother and I had to keep our distance from Cousin Rong, so as not to anger my father. ”

Suppressing the anger of being deceived for more than ten years and accepting a woman who had married and had a daughter as his queen is already a great concession for the dignified emperor.

If Empress Pei and the six princes behaved too closely to Cheng Jinrong, they would undoubtedly be nailing Emperor Xuanhe's heart.

Empress Pei cheered up and responded: "I understand what you said. Don't worry, I won't anger your father. ”

For the safety of Jinrong and for the sake of your position as the prince, I will forbearably retreat.

The last sentence, Queen Pei did not say it, and there is no need to say it.

The six princes saw a deep sense of shame in their eyes, and they were silent for a long time before they whispered: "Queen Mother, I'm sorry." I, as a son, not only can't protect the queen mother, but I have to make the queen mother bow her head for me......"

"Little Liu," Empress Pei stretched out her thin arm and gently hugged the sixth prince: "If you really want to say sorry, it's me who can't live with you." ”

"Back then, I was forced into the palace, if it wasn't for the Jinrong in my heart, I wouldn't have been able to hold on at all. It was an accident to be pregnant with you. I had to give birth to you. I don't want to lie to you, at that time, I really wished I didn't have your son. ”

"I'm not a good mother, I'm sorry for Jinrong, and I'm sorry for you."

"You have moved out of the Jiaofang Hall since you were a child, and I, my mother-in-law, are indifferent to you. I haven't fulfilled my responsibility to you as a mother, and I'm sorry for you......"

His arms trembled slightly, and the voices in his ears choked.

The sixth prince's nose was sour, and he reached out to hug his mother: "Mother, I have never complained about you." I used to want to be close to you but couldn't, and I was a little disappointed and a little sad. I thought that when I grew up, I would be able to protect you, and I would no longer allow the Zheng family to bully you. ”

"Over the past few years, you have been so close to me. My heart rejoiced. I also like Cousin Yung...... That day, I suddenly learned the truth, and I was so shocked that I lost my words on impulse, which made Cousin Rong feel angry. I was annoyed and blamed myself. ”

"These days, I've calmed down and thought about it a lot."

"Back then, my father was also kept in the dark, no wonder my father, let alone you. It was Pei Wanqing and Pei Qin's fault. They all died, and the Pei family also suffered. ”

"It's all in the past, and I don't have to mention it in the future."

"Our mother and son still have to live in the palace. Mother, you forgot Cheng Wang! You have to treat your father as your true husband. Otherwise, his father would never let him live. Even Cousin Rong will also be implicated and will worry about her life. ”

……

Empress Pei's whole body trembled, and tears poured out silently.

These words pierced her heart deeply.

If she were alone, she could beg for death.

But she still has Jinrong and Xiaoliu. There is also Cheng Wang, who is a medical officer in the border army who knows nothing...... His life and death are only between the thoughts of Emperor Xuanhe.

For the sake of the people she cares about, she has to give up everything that belongs to Pei Wanru and be the real Queen Pei.

Warm tears soaked the clothes of the six princes.

The eyes of the sixth prince were also red.

His voice was still calm and calm: "Mother, this is the first and last time I mention Cheng Wang in front of you. After today, I won't say that name again. You also have to forget this name completely. ”

"You are the Empress of the Middle Palace. In the future, I will ascend the throne as emperor. You are the Empress Dowager of Da Chu. ”

Empress Pei's crying gradually stopped. She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, looked up and said to the six princes, "I have written down everything you said. ”

"Little Liu, you've really grown up."

In this way, if you are the gentle and kind little six you used to be, you can't say it at all.

An ordinary prince with a gentle temperament and a soft heart is not a bad thing. But as the crown prince of Da Chu, he must be calm and decisive, and if necessary, he must be ruthless.

Such a change is necessary and a good thing for the Six Princes.

The sixth prince pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly: "The price of growing up is to become cold-blooded and ruthless." Actually, I didn't want to grow up at all. ”

In the past, he lived under the favor of his father, and someone sheltered him from the wind and rain.

Now, all the storms come from his father, who once favored to shelter him.

He was forced to grow up overnight.

Mother and son, relatively speechless. After a long time, Empress Pei said softly: "I go to the Baohe Palace every day to ask for sin." Until your father is discouraged. ”

The Sixth Prince nodded and did not speak.

He was made crown prince and had to continue along this path. Otherwise, once it is abolished, it is a dead end. No matter which royal brother is appointed as a prince, it is impossible to tolerate him who was once a prince.

……

The six princes packed up their mood and went to the Baohe Palace.

Emperor Xuanhe's mood in the past two days has improved significantly, and he is no longer angry at every turn.

After the six princes saluted and greeted him, they reported to Emperor Xuanhe on the affairs of the court. Emperor Xuanhe didn't like to say much, and occasionally opened his mouth to ask the most difficult questions to answer.

The six princes responded cautiously and did not dare to say half a wrong word.

The intimacy between father and son in the past has turned into a ready-made suspicion and vigilance of each other, which is really sad.

After finishing finishing business, Emperor Xuanhe said coldly: "I heard that Imperial Doctor Cheng went out of the palace yesterday and returned to the house, and gave birth to a pair of twins in the evening. ”

The sixth prince replied respectfully: "Yes, Commander He sent a good letter into the palace and took a leave of absence for five days." ”

Emperor Xuanhe glanced at the six princes lightly: "This is a happy event." You go to the Pingguo Mansion and reward some things for Imperial Doctor Cheng. ”
