Chapter 546: Knocking

This palace banquet has a harmonious atmosphere, father and son are filial piety, brothers and friends are respectful. Exemplar.

After the palace banquet was dispersed, Emperor Xuanhe summoned several princes to Baohe Palace.

The eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince, stood in a row, arranged in order of age. The six princes who were appointed as princes stood in front of all the princes, highlighting the unique and noble status of the prince of Dachu.

Emperor Xuanhe first looked at the six princes: "Little Liu, you are now the crown prince, and you must be kind to your siblings in the future." ”

The six princes should respond: "The sons and daughters should remember their father's teachings, and they will never be suspicious of each other." ”

Emperor Xuanhe nodded, and then looked at the eldest prince: "You are my eldest son, the oldest among the princes, and the longest time in the court. I have always trusted you, and I have made you an errand boy in the military department. In the future, you must do your best to assist Xiaoliu and guard the country of Dachu. ”

The eldest prince wanted to lift the table and scold in his heart, but his face was sincere: "Please rest assured." Erchen must assist the sixth brother. ”

Emperor Xuanhe snorted, and then looked at the second prince: "You are my sister-in-law, and you are also the brother of Xiao Liuyi's mother." I didn't make you the prince, and chose Xiaoliu to be the prince. Are you not convinced?"

Second Prince: ""

Of course not

Why

He was five years younger than six years younger. The young and the old are orderly, and if you want to establish a prince, you should also set up him, the second prince. Why is it Xiaoliu's turn, it is obviously his father's eccentricity

But he couldn't say a word about these words

The second prince was full of resentment and refused to swallow it, and replied respectfully: "Xiaoliu is smart and generous, and he has been personally taught by his father and emperor, and he has the love and support of the military generals. He is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, and his sons are not dissatisfied. ”

Emperor Xuanhe's voice came into the ears of the second prince lightly: "I have written down everything you said today. If you move your mind and do something you shouldn't do, I will never spare you."

The second prince lowered his head, hiding the hatred in his eyes, and said yes.

The four princes and the five princes saw this battle, and what else did they not understand, the father and emperor took the opportunity of the palace banquet to beat their brothers

Eccentricity is too eccentric

Emperor Xuanhe's key point is the eldest prince and the second prince. When it came to the fourth prince and the fifth prince, his tone was much softer: "You two have been listening to politics in the court for nearly a year. Next year, I'll send you some errands. Hone your work well, and in the future, you will be crowned a vassal and become a vassal king, and you must be considerate of the people. ”

The four princes and the five princes responded respectfully, and they all felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Father, this is not even going to let them stay in the capital for longer. I'm going to get rid of them early.

and then to the young Seven Princes and Eight Princes, Emperor Xuanhe's words were a little gentler: "Little Seven Little Eight, both of you are still young, and you will have to study hard in the future." Learn more from your sixth brother. ”

The Seven Princes and the Eight Princes straightened up and responded in unison: "The sons and daughters must follow their father's teachings, and the sons must live up to their father's high expectations." ”

After beating in turns, Emperor Xuanhe ordered all the princes to retreat, leaving only the six princes to accompany him.

As soon as the prince was established, the status of the six princes suddenly changed. It doesn't matter if the princes are convinced or not, in short, they are very convinced.

In the Jiaofang Palace, all the palace concubines retreated, and Queen Pei only left a few daughters-in-law to speak.

The eldest princess, Concubine He, was respectful, no matter what Queen Pei said, she always responded softly.

The fourth princess is pregnant, and her whole person is much plump, and if you look closely, her face is still slightly swollen.

Empress Pei smiled and advised: "You are a person with a double body, and now that the month is getting older, your body is also very bulky." In the future, I will give birth to a baby in the house, and I don't have to go into the palace from time to time to ask for peace. ”

The most delicate woman is at this time.

The fourth princess thanked her a little shyly: "Thank you for your compassion to your daughter-in-law." I didn't dare to hide it from my mother, and my daughter-in-law felt sleepy and lacked energy recently. Today's palace banquet, halfway through, I can't hold it anymore. In the name of grooming, I quietly retreated and rested for half an hour."

Queen Pei smiled: "Being pregnant will inevitably be harder. ”

The five princesses listened on the sidelines, and their hearts were sour.

A few months ago, when she heard that the fourth princess was pregnant, she was not very happy, and she had some tongues. As a result, he was scolded by Queen Pei, and he was not a big loser, but later he was much more restrained.

Even if his heart is sour, he can squeeze out a smile to echo: "The fourth imperial sister-in-law is a blessed person, and this child is the emperor's grandson." It's harder, but it's worth it. ”

The fourth princess smiled slightly, and her voice was gentle: "As daughters-in-law, we should be spreading branches for the heavenly family." I also hope that this child will be a son. If it's a daughter, it's also the meat of my palm, and I like it too. ”

Just listen to what you say, and see what you are up and down for.

Empress Pei glanced at the unpleasant Fifth Imperial Concubine and said lightly: "What Wei said is reasonable. As long as it is your own flesh and blood, there is no reason why it is not painful to be a mother. Zheng, it's been almost a year since you passed the door, regardless of whether it is a son or daughter, you must conceive one first and report the good news to the palace. ”

The five princesses and concubines bowed their heads and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhongcui Palace.

After Zheng Jieyu came back from the palace banquet, she was a little restless, and sent people to wait at the palace gate from time to time.

The personal palace maid who served Zheng Jieyu in the past has already been replaced. Now these palace maids are all people selected by Queen Pei.

"Jieyu Niangniang has been imprisoned for more than a year, and today she can finally get out of Zhongcui Palace."

"Niangniang is worried about the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and she sent us over and over again to wait."

"Niangniang used to be so beautiful, but now she is down like this, it's really a little unbearable."

"Don't talk nonsense, if it reaches the ears of your masters, you two will be slapped. Besides, the mother is not down, and she is also clothed and fed, much better than us slaves. We can't bear it here, it's ridiculous to say. ”

The palace maids muttered a few words and stopped talking.

After waiting for a long time, the eldest prince and the fourth prince finally came.

Zheng Jieyu didn't have anything to say to the two daughters-in-law, so she said a few words casually, and then asked them to retreat and rest. Only the eldest prince and the fourth prince were left to speak.

The mother and son didn't know what to say in the bedroom, and after an hour, the eldest prince and the fourth prince walked out.

Looking closely, the eyes of the eldest prince and the four princes were a little red.

Zheng Jieyu didn't come out to see her off because she cried for most of the hour, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse. The grievances in her heart were annoyed and unwilling, and she was deeply pressed into her heart.

Zheng Jieyu sat in front of the mirror, looked at the haggard old woman in the mirror, and gritted her teeth secretly.

Their mother and son were a few steps behind for the time being, and they were not completely defeated for the time being, so they forbeared, and secretly planned to wait for the opportunity to turn over in the future.
