Half a year has passed, and some major events have occurred in Jinling and the Eastern Capital.

Prince Yu, who had been recuperating from his injuries in the Eastern Capital, finally died of his injuries and died suddenly on the second day of the second month after His Majesty's burial. After Rong Xu, the little prince of Yu, inherited the throne and buried his grandfather, the new emperor decreed that his family moved into the palace of King Yu in Jinling.

Then there is the original side concubine Xiao of the new King of Yu, because she is the cousin of the new emperor, Rong Xu, the king of Yu, asked for a decree to hire her as a concubine, the new emperor agreed, and also pardoned the Xiao family, all the sins, and restored the Hou of the Xiao family.

Among them, Rong Ying's uncle's family, there is only one concubine left, who was only two years old when the family was broken, and now inherits the submission of the Xiao family.

And Xiao Nanyin's father is Rong Ying's little uncle, who was saved from death because of his heir, which is Rong Ying's closest blood relative in this world. Rong Ying not only restored Xiao Chengwen's original position, but also added a first-class position and gave a new position, which greatly raised the status of his mother's family in order to become a candidate, as if his mother's Xiao family had not rebelled.

Public opinion in Jinling City was boiling, and it was the first to be opposed by the family of Queen Chai and the Chai Palace, but the county lord of the Chai Palace, Chai Bijun was awarded the title of concubine and became the highest-ranking concubine in the new emperor's harem, pointing directly to the back position. This generation of Chai Wang Ye is also accustomed to examining the degree, so he also has a wait-and-see attitude for the time being.

Without the opposition of the Chai Wangfu, the opposition of other people has no position at all, so naturally there will be no resistance. It took only half a year for the Xiao family to return to Beijing, and they became the most prominent Houmen in Jinling City.

And another family that has gained great glory because of the women in the clan is the Anxuanhou Mansion who carried the life of the former prince Rong Zhao.

His Majesty has just come out of the mourning period, that is, shortly after the Xiao family returned to Jinling, he issued an edict that will definitely cause an uproar, and completely played the prince of Chai who was just a wait-and-see, that is, he was the queen, and he was the Xinyue county lord of the Anxuan Marquis Mansion, as the queen. And after ascending the throne, he will marry into the palace.

Among the people who opposed this time, there was not only one Chai family, but also the Xinyue County Lord, the original husband's family, the mother family of the Empress Dowager Sheng Yu, and the Houjiang family in Zhenbei. And Jiang Yang, the younger brother of the current Marquis of Zhenbei, is the fiancé of the lord of Xinyue County, and he is also a marquis because of his meritorious service in battle, and he is the youngest marquis of the feudal lord since the founding of my great saint, and he took over a total of 400,000 soldiers and horses in the entire southern camp after his father and the old marquis were killed in battle. Compared with the Chai family, which has no military power in their hands, the Jiang family is much more difficult.

This uproar, in Jinling City, almost everyone is waiting for the result, seeing that the wedding date is getting closer and closer, His Majesty has no intention of changing his mind.

And Crescent Moon in the center of the storm, still living in the other house, seemed to find a trace of peace, and as soon as the door was closed, she stayed in this place that seemed like a paradise.

After half a year of cultivation, Xinyue and Lian'er's bodies are all better, especially Lian'er, Xinyue was worried that he would grow slower than ordinary children because of long-term poor nutrition, but in this half year, the speed at which he grew his body was faster than the speed at which Xinyue made clothes for him.

And Xinyue herself, the imperial doctor sent by Liang Wei for her, had resigned five days ago, and his original words before leaving were "The girl's body is no longer in serious trouble, but she still remembers that everything must be left with a trace of air, otherwise she will worry too much and repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

Xinyue touched the bead on her neck, the wound on her neck was still very obvious, this bead had become a part of her neck, which also reminded Xinyue of Liang Wei, he had always said that when he got better, he would take her back to Liang Guo, but now, he seems to have no such plan.

The courtyard is very quiet, Lian'er's desk is placed in front of the new moon, Mr. has just finished today's lesson, Lian'er is writing on the paper Mr. assigned homework, he is not yet a four-year-old child, just enlightened, the words have not yet been recognized, just holding a long brush, on the paper, one stroke by one strokes, is now writing "one".

Xinyue saw that he was serious and tight, and he had to be able to write, so she didn't bother him and continued to be busy with the needle and thread in her hand.

She is making clothes for Lian'er, and in ten days, they will return to the palace together, and Xinyue wants to make a new dress for him to wear when he enters the palace. The pattern of the crane on the gown was embroidered by Xinyue herself, and her temperament has been grinding out in recent years. Yunhe is only a divine sense, and Liuyun is not equipped with a good color line, and he lacks a sense of agility. It's just two pearls that fell on the beads of Yunhe's eyes, and Xinyue touched it again and again with great affection.

"Auntie, I have already written the word "one" a hundred times. In the middle of the night, Lian'er put a thick pile of paper in Xinyue's hand, and on this fine rice paper, like a ghost, wrote one "one" after another, for fear that others would not know that his Lao Tzu is the saint of today.

"However, the last few times, the writing is excellent." Although Xinyue felt sorry for this expensive rice paper, she still affirmed the expectant Lian'er, the two walked to the desk, Xinyue picked up the pen, and wrote a "one" under the best "one" written by Lian'er, and then asked Fei'er, who was standing on the side, "You say, who writes better between me and Lian'er." ”

Fei'er naturally understood the meaning of the new moon, so she pointed to the "one" written by Lian'er above, and said, "The slave maid thinks that the little prince writes this more seriously." ”

"Looks like my aunt lost." Lian'er smiled and fell into Xinyue's arms to be coquettish.

"Well, my aunt also thinks Lian'er writes well." Xinyue picked up Lian'er and put it on her lap, feeling heavy.

Lian'er smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said to Xinyue, "Since Lian'er wrote it well, can Lian'er make a request?" ”

"You won, and you still want your aunt to fulfill your request? Shouldn't you comfort your aunt as a loser? As he spoke, the crescent moon pulled the veil sadly.

Lian'er was very embarrassed, he reached out and grabbed Xinyue's hand, and said to Xinyue, "Then, then let Mama Wang make you your favorite braised pork slices with bamboo shoots for you today." Lian'er, Lian'er won't drink whitebait soup. ”

Xinyue looked at him wronged himself in order to comfort himself, with tears in his eyes, and couldn't bear to say, "What about the whitebait soup that Mama Wang has already made?" Is it rare to fall? ”

"Really? Mama Wang made whitebait soup? ”

Xinyue touched the tips of Lian'er's expectant eyes and nodded, "It's true"

"Thank you, auntie, aunt is the best." As she spoke, Lian'er reached out and hugged Xinyue.

In the end, it is a child, whoever loves him, he thinks who is good, not mixed with any hypocrisy, Xinyue sighed with some worry, Lian'er who was lying in her arms immediately felt it, and asked Xinyue, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Auntie is just thinking, we are going to enter the palace in a few days, after you enter the palace, you have more contact with things, and all kinds of people around you have also poured up, will you still like me."

"Auntie, Lian'er will always like you. And Lian'er heard Qi Niang say, you are going to marry my father. Lian'er was still young, and asked a little incomprehensibly, "Auntie, what is marriage?" ”

Xinyue thought for a while and said to Lian'er, "It seems that I want to live with this person for the rest of my life." ”

"Then my aunt will be with her father for the rest of her life?" Lian'er asked.

Xinyue nodded and said helplessly, "This time, at least one of the two of us died to break this game." ”

"How can this be a bureau? You just said that you want to live with your father. Since they are living together, my aunt must take care of her father like Lian'er, you have to make clothes for your father, make good food, bathe him, and comb his hair..."Lian'er happily counted the things that Xinyue wanted to do for Rong Ying, Xinyue listened helplessly, and then asked, "Then what can your father do for me?" ”

This asked Lian'er, he thought about it seriously, and then replied: "Father will protect you, Lian'er is still young, and she can't protect her aunt, so that her aunt doesn't cry." But my father is the most powerful man in the world, and he will definitely protect you, so that no one else can bully you, and he will not let you shed tears. ”

Xinyue listened to this child's words, and couldn't help laughing, "Do you know that the person who makes me cry is your father." ”

"Then aunt, you don't want to marry your father, he can't take care of your aunt." When Lian'er heard this, she was still willing, so she immediately straightened up and looked at the new moon seriously.

Crescent Moon smiled: "It's that simple there. Lian'er, you also said just now, your father is the most powerful person in the world, and the reason why a strong person is strong is that he can make the people around him who are inferior to him submit to him. Auntie and I, just aren't as strong as him, so I can only give in. ”

"Then Lian'er also has to be a strong person." As she spoke, Lian'er raised her arm.

Xinyue frowned, and hurriedly pressed Lian'er's arm, "Good boy, you can only say this to your aunt, and no one can say it except your aunt." ”

"Isn't my father okay?" Lian'er doesn't seem to understand.

The new moon again emphasized, "Especially to your father, the Emperor." The child, a strong person, the last thing that can not be allowed, the appearance of a person who is stronger than him. ”

"Why?" Lian'er was a little sleepy and rubbed her eyes.

Crescent Moon said earnestly, "Once someone stronger than him appears, he will give in." A person who is used to being strong will not give in. ”

Lian'er nodded thoughtfully, Xinyue touched his eyes lovingly, and then asked, "Lian'er, after entering the palace, how about we still rely on each other together?" ”

"Shall we separate?" Lian'er nestled in the arms of the new moon.

"Auntie naturally doesn't want to be separated from you."

"Then let's not leave. Qi Niang said that in this world, the most inseparable thing is the relationship between mother and son. After you, you will be my father's wife, I will be my father's son, and we will be mother and son. As she spoke, Lian'er grabbed Xinyue's hand tightly, then tilted her little head and fell asleep.

Xinyue looked at the carefree child in his arms, what sorrow can he have at his age, but whether the "one" is written well or not, and there is no whitebait soup to eat, will he be separated from the person he likes.

If there was a choice, Xinyue wouldn't want to think about it so much, but the hand that kept pushing her forward made her think more and more.

The ceremony after the closure is set for ten days later.

This courtyard, not only did Xinyue deliberately close the door, but Changxian was ordered by the emperor to guard the periphery, saying that it was to protect Lian'er's safety, and it was more like imprisoning Xinyue, Xinyue didn't want to worry about it, but that day by day was approaching, and she had already accepted her fate, but she was afraid that some people who cared about her would go the wrong way, so she really wanted to go out, at least to see Jiang Yang first.

Jiang Yang had 300,000 troops, which was second only to the number of the Northern Army facing Liang directly in the Quartet Army. He also supervised the defense of Jinling, and if he wanted to rebel, it would be more harmful than King Yu. Although Xinyue knew that even if she really married Rong Ying, Jiang Yang would not rebel, but Rong Ying didn't believe it.

He was already very wary of these Quartet Army, and there was not a single person from him in the Quartet Army. So he wanted to take the Jiang family first. Just like back then, the first emperor took King Yu to open the knife.

Just thinking about it, Xinyue felt frightened, when she was in Yanzhou, the old marquis Jiang had already died in battle, and she couldn't harm anyone from the Jiang family anymore, in that case, if she died, what kind of face would she have to see her grandmother.

She was going to see Jiang Yang and ask him not to have any objections. There is also the new Yu King Rongxu.

He is indeed a little too busy to take care of himself now, but after all, he is the successor to the throne of King Yu, and in the eyes of those old subordinates of King Yu, he is the new commander, not the new emperor Rong Ying.

He still has the strength to raise his arms and shout, but he only has the strength to shout. This little bit of strength, if it is used to save life, is the most sufficient.

The two chatted briefly before, and the new moon asked him to cater to Rong Ying, and now Rong Xu has been in Beijing for almost half a year, but there is still no movement, and Rong Ying's patience is about to run out.

After seeing the two of them, Xinyue also went to see her brother Xu Xintai, although he was the last, he was the person Xinyue cared about the most, after all, he could be Xinyue's concern, but after that, in the long palace years, Xu Xintai would be her most important strength, the two were not just relatives, but also tied to each other, and their interests coexisted.

Xinyue put Lian'er on the bed, and Changxian was already waiting outside, and Xinyue called him in.

"See the county lord, I don't know what the county lord commands?"

"Go and tell your master, I will leave the house tomorrow to see Jiang Yang, Rong Xu and my brother."

"Your Majesty has never instructed the slave to stop your steps, and Your Majesty heard that you refused to go out, and said to the slave, now that it is summer, I want to persuade you to go out and see more." Chang Xian said the words that had been prepared a long time ago, and Xinyue was tired and panicked for him when he saw it, but he also had to follow his words, "In that case, then I will go out early tomorrow morning, and come back before the city gate closes, you take good care of the little prince in the mansion, I am not here, don't make a mess." ”

"Yes" As he spoke, Chang Xian saw that he had finished his orders, turned around and left, and sent a letter to Rong Ying.
