Chapter Twenty-Eight: Yuanchen

After a stick of incense, the sixth prince Yuanchen came.

A ten-year-old boy who is half the age is still a little thin, with clear eyes and a handsome face. When he laughed, he could clearly see Queen Pei's shadow between his eyebrows.

Such a handsome and gentle little boy is a joy to look forward to.

Emperor Xuanhe likes beauty, the harem concubines are like clouds, and the princes and princesses are one after another, a total of eight princes and two princesses. Except for the three princes who died young, the rest of the princes and princesses all grew up safely.

The most saintly favored is the eldest prince.

Back then, Princess Yan Pei Wanqing had been out of the door for three years. The eldest son born to Concubine Zheng was the first and only son of King Yan. The weight occupied in King Yan's heart is naturally different.

Later, King Yan was named the crown prince, and the princess became pregnant and gave birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes. The prince was overjoyed. favored the second son Yuantai.

Later, princes and princesses were born one after another, and there were more children. It's a habit of being a father. In the year when the sixth prince was born, Emperor Xuanwu contracted a vicious disease. Within two years, Emperor Xuanwu died and returned to the west, and the crown prince ascended the throne as Emperor Xuanhe.

Out of a subtle and indescribable mood, Emperor Xuanhe was quite fond of the six princes.

Every time she saw the six princes, Mrs. Yong'an Hou felt depressed in her heart.

When Pei Wanru was sent into the palace as a stand-in, no one expected that Pei Wanru would be able to give birth to a prince. But under the circumstances at that time, the Pei family didn't dare to do anything at all, and even hoped that Pei Wanru's mother and son would be safe.

Otherwise, Pei Wanru's heart disease worsened and she died of depression. Where are you going to find another "Queen Pei" when the time comes?

Over the years, Empress Pei has lived in the Jiaofang Palace almost autistically, and she has been extremely cold to the six princes, and she has not shown the slightest ambition to win the position of prince.

Rao is like this, and the Pei family has always been wary of the six princes.

……

The second prince and Princess Shouning didn't know the complicated thoughts of Mrs. Yong'an Hou at all, and when they saw the sixth prince, the brother and sister both smiled.

Princess Shouning stepped forward with a smile, took the hand of the sixth prince and looked at it slightly: "Sixth brother, are you in good health?" ”

The sixth prince hummed obediently.

The second prince raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You read all day long, don't be a nerd." In the future, I will ride more horses and practice archery, and my body will be stronger. ”

The sixth prince smiled a little shyly: "Second brother is making fun of me again." ”

Emperor Xuanhe emphasized martial arts and light literature, and almost all of the princes inherited Emperor Xuanhe's temperament and temperament - even if they didn't like to practice martial arts so much, they had to pretend to be ten, so as to win the favor of Emperor Xuanhe.

The sixth prince has liked to read since he was a child, and he does not forget to draw inferences from one example. Several of the princes in the upper study were full of praise for the six princes.

Emperor Xuanhe often joked about this matter, and the brothers would joke with each other.

After a few jokes, the sixth prince stepped forward and bowed to Queen Pei: "My son has seen the queen mother." ”

When the sixth prince raised his eyes, he looked at Queen Pei with admiration and closeness in his eyes.

Empress Pei lowered her eyes, avoiding the eager light of hope from the six princes, and hummed softly.

The light in the eyes of the six princes quickly dimmed.

His father loved him, Emperor Zheng's concubine treated him gently and closely, and several royal brothers and sisters liked him. But for some reason, the queen mother was extremely indifferent to him.

He wanted to come to the Jiaofang Palace every day to ask for peace, and the queen mother wanted to recuperate, and he was only allowed to come back once every three days.

He is intelligent by nature, extremely talented in reading, and is often praised by Taifu. The queen mother never praised him for a word.

He was occasionally sick, and he always looked forward to seeing the queen mother. However, every time I came, it was woad and blue......

However, it is no wonder that the queen mother. The queen mother was already sick and weak, and in order to give birth to him, she completely damaged her body's vitality. All these years, he has been confined. It's rare to have a good time.

He is a man, and he should take good care of his mother. How could the queen mother be worried about him?

Thinking of this, the sixth prince straightened his slightly thin chest, and said with a smile: "I drank the decoction, sweated, came over overnight, and it was already well." The queen mother doesn't have to worry about me. ”

Empress Pei finally raised her head and glanced at the six princes, with a little tenderness in her eyes: "You take care of your body." ”

This rare trace of warmth made the six princes smile happily, and nodded again and again: "Yes, the son must listen to the words of the queen mother." ”

What a kind and innocent child.

Empress Pei silently stared at the handsome face that looked like herself, and a burst of guilt and sourness suddenly surged in her heart.

……

At lunchtime, Queen Pei sat down and moved a few chopsticks slightly, revealing tiredness. I went back to the dormitory to rest.

The second prince and others are used to it. After lunch, the second prince went to the study, and Princess Shouning sent Mrs. Yong'an Hou out of the palace.

The six princes were supposed to return to Yuqing Palace. But today, Queen Pei's attitude is rare and gentle, and he is quite reluctant. plucked up the courage and went to Empress Pei's bedroom.

The palace maid guarding the door was about to pass the word, but the six princes stopped it with their eyes.

Mother and son should be close to each other...... Right! He occasionally didn't enter the queen mother's bedroom through the passage, so it couldn't be regarded as a transgression!

With a hint of naughtiness, the six princes quietly pushed the door in their hearts with a hint of joy in their hearts.

The only people who can enter the queen mother's bedroom to serve are Qingdai and woad. Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Qing Dailan's expression changed slightly, and she looked over, but she was on guard.

Empress Pei was also stunned, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly put away the scroll in her hand.

What's going on?

Did he come by mistake?

The sixth prince inexplicably felt a little weak, stopped his steps, and whispered: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. The palace people guarding the door wanted to pass the word, but I stopped them. ”

The six princes of the Great Chu Dynasty, who were noble, were just a lonely little boy who longed for the attention of his mother at this time.

Queen Pei's nose was slightly sour, and her hand holding the scroll trembled slightly.

The sixth prince waited for a while, and saw that Queen Pei was still silent, feeling disappointed and sad. Pretended to be brisk and said: "The queen mother has a good rest, and the son will retire." ”

The sixth prince glanced at Empress Pei reluctantly, and turned around slowly.

Empress Pei finally relented and said softly, "You come and sit for a while before leaving." ”

The six princes turned around like a whirlwind, slipped to Queen Pei's side, sat down happily, and smirked at Queen Pei.

Queen Pei: "......"

Qing Dai and Xiang Lan glanced at each other, and the vigilance on their faces gradually faded.

The sixth prince smirked for a moment before asking, "Queen Mother, what were you looking at just now?" ”

Qing Dai's expression tightened, and she was about to open her mouth. Woad Lan glanced at her quickly. Qingdai had to keep silent.

Empress Pei hesitated slightly, slowly let go, and opened the scroll.

The Sixth Prince looked over curiously.

On the picture scroll is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old fair girl, with bright eyes and bright teeth, green silk like ink, and unparalleled. The girl stood under the begonia tree and held a delicate begonia in her hand.

Ying Ying smiled, people are more delicate than flowers.
