When I was six months pregnant, I met my younger brother Jiang Wan, he has been very competitive in recent years, after joining the army, he has been a captain in the Beiying army with a thousand people, I can see him this time, but also because His Majesty went to Beiying to reorganize the army, I heard General Xu of the Beiying Unified Army talk about him, saying that he is not very old, but he is very steady and pragmatic, leading the army but tough and sharp, is a rare talent, when His Majesty promoted him, His Majesty summoned him, asked about his origin, only to know that it was my younger brother.

His Majesty never mentioned it to me, but he let my brother and sister meet before he personally led the troops into the battle.

When I left, he was just an infant baby, not as old as Huan'er is now, and when he came, I didn't sleep all night with excitement. The year before last, the eldest brother came to a letter, saying that the younger brother had joined the army, I asked someone to inquire around, but there was no whereabouts of him, I thought he was dead, I haven't seen him for two years, he is much taller, and stronger, his eyes are firm and powerful, and he is already a man who stands up to the sky.

I pulled Huan'er, Huan'er was a little afraid of him, but I still mustered up the courage to pull my younger brother's sleeve and called timidly, "Uncle." ”

The younger brother smiled and reached out to touch Huan'er's head, but he thought that it was not in order, so he knelt on the ground, "Meet the Seventh Prince." ”

"Younger brother, what grievances have you suffered, why did you join the army in a good manner? Although I am not favored in the palace, I can't ask for official positions for you and my brother, but at the very least, I can ensure that you don't have to worry about money, and your eldest brother is also doing business, and if you follow him, you will definitely have a good future, and you have always been attentive in your homework, and you can also take the imperial examination, how can you join the army? How dangerous. "I cried and pulled him up.

The younger brother stood up, the clothes on his knees were a little torn, and they were stained with dust, I remembered that when I was a child, he always looked like this, and made himself dirty, and then cried and said to me, "Sister, that wild dog outside is chasing me." ”

At this time, he was no longer the child who was coquettish beside me, and he smiled faintly at me, "I, the minister knows that Niangniang is difficult in the palace, but he still helps the brother outside, and my eldest brother and I also feel guilty for not being able to help you, six, the matter of the six princes, the minister has also heard about it, if Niangniang can have a family background like those people, it will not be, and it will not be covered up as if nothing happened." If the minister is in the imperial examination, the list in the imperial examination is naturally good, but this year is an official everywhere, and he will not be able to help his mother, if he is in the army, now the border is not very peaceful, the minister wants to protect the family and defend the country, and the second also wants to reduce the burden of the mother in the palace, so that you can be easier. ”

The younger brother said this high-sounding words, still not proficient, when he spoke, he couldn't stop glancing at Huan'er who was standing beside him, and finally took Huan'er's hand, Huan'er was very happy, and completely let down his guard, and was very kind to the younger brother.

As a foreign man, my younger brother couldn't stay too long, I watched him leave, he looked back at me standing at the door, and walked two steps before he said, "Sister..."

His sister, my tears immediately flowed, and his eyes were slightly red, "Sister, I will come to see you and Huan'er again." ”

I nodded, touched my belly, and he immediately added, "And this one in your belly." ”

"Okay, okay, Sister is waiting for you, waiting for you and Big Brother to come."

Since I know where my younger brother is, I can't help but pay attention to him, he followed His Majesty's personal expedition, broke Yan in Beigucheng, and saved General Hu's life in the area of Xiagupo, he is the commander of the southern battalion, higher than the general Xu of the northern battalion, and is highly respected, and is the chief soldier of the fourth battalion.

Yan Guo was greatly injured by the beating, and Liang Guo did not contribute less, but he still did not completely swallow Yan Guo, so His Majesty returned to the court after six months of expedition.

By this time, my daughter had already been born. In this palace, the queen's mother, concubine, and concubine Yi all gave birth to daughters, and my daughter is the fourth princess of His Majesty, the princes are named from the fire, and the names of the princesses are to see His Majesty's mind, because the queen's eldest princess is named Yiqing, and the second princess of the concubine also took the word Yi, named Yini, and the title of the concubine is the word "Yi", which is homophonic and different, so it is avoided, named Fujia, and my daughter is named Yining, which means that the border is peaceful.

Your Majesty likes Yining very much, in addition to being the only child born of His Majesty in the past five years, she was born on the border and was stable, but also my younger brother, who performed well in the army, first promoted to the captain of General Xu in Beiying, commanding 5,000 troops, ringing a thousand quintals, and then being asked by General Hu of Nanying, directly named a deputy general, General Yinfeng, commanding 20,000 troops, ringing 2,000 quintals.

The promotion speed of the younger brother is the great saint of the country, which has not been seen since the Taizu dynasty, and the last one to be promoted so quickly was the forty-year-old general Shen Zike Shen.

For a time, there was an uproar in the DPRK and China, although the command of 20,000 troops is not too many people, but the general general under the command of the general Yinfeng has a convention, that is, the deputy general who can take over his position, although the official position is not high, but in the battalion is also the most respected, in addition to the main general, the most respected person. General Hu is over fifty years old, although he is already brave, but since his son died in battle, this body and morale are not as good as day by day, and he has already started to cultivate a successor, but he has never met someone who can take over such a heavy responsibility, so he met his younger brother.

When I heard these news, I felt that my younger brother was a pearl, and I would shine there, proud of him, and at the same time I was terrified. I'm afraid something will happen.

But everything was calm, the younger brother returned to Beijing, and the marriage became the most urgent thing. The eldest brother married the daughter of a businessman, Li, I have seen it, she is a very shrewd woman, although she is still timid, but her temperament is good, and she is good for her eldest brother, and she has already given birth to a son for her eldest brother, who is the eldest grandson of our Jiang family.

In the end, I chose a daughter of a civil servant for my younger brother, she was a concubine in the palace with me, and Zhuang Zhaoyi's own sister was a dignified and generous woman.

I vaguely felt that the reason why my younger brother did not take the road of the imperial examination was also because he had no doorway, and he saw through the dross and was afraid that he would be buried, so he looked elsewhere.

Now, the eldest brother has a child, and the younger brother has also married, although reluctantly, I also have a lifelong place, and the three of us can now reassure Daddy, Auntie is blind.

The younger brother kept his promise and came to see me again, I led the two-year-old Yining to pick him up at the door, and saw a somewhat shy woman behind him, she looked around helplessly, and finally reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the younger brother.

The younger brother dropped his wide sleeves and took her hand, and the two of them held hands and came to me. It's really love, it's just that between newlyweds, the sparse and ordinary intimacy, I haven't enjoyed it for a moment.

Although I am related in my heart, I no longer put these things that I have never had in the first place, I have my family and my children, I have to go more steadily and forward.

I was named a virtuous concubine, but I still live in this small palace, I know, Your Majesty is still very fair, he rewarded, sealed the late brother high official position, because he did merit to the great saint, and I, just gave birth to two children, and he is not loved, and he naturally has no credit, and I also need to beat the younger brother, to the queen mother, I don't live in the flawed alley across the wall, it's already good.

And so, another ten years passed.

In the past ten years, except for last year, the second prince born to the queen did not live past the age of 20 as the imperial doctor said, and after a long stay in bed, he died of illness, and when he died, there were still five days before his 20th birthday.

When I reacted from a long period of distraction, I had already slapped Concubine Dan in the face.

Thinking about it, the concubine finally found the evidence that Concubine Dan killed the five princes, and she was in the queen's palace, crying and begging the queen to give her child a clean slate.

And Concubine Dan is still climbing the queen who has nothing to do with this matter, this matter really has nothing to do with the queen, the death of the fifth prince, thinking about some details, Concubine Dan is not clear, but she can no longer find out her innocence.

The war on the front line is in full swing, listening to the war report that came a few days ago, saying that the Yan Kingdom has been destroyed, but the Liang State, which is an ally of the Great Sage, suddenly turned back and bit the front army of the Great Sage, His Majesty was also surrounded, and the younger brother and the little general of the Xu family, Xu Antai, broke through from the outside to the inside, and the fight was very difficult.

His Majesty has lost news for ten days, and for a time the people in the court are panicking, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is already twenty-five years old, has also made preparations and is very firmly standing in the front court.

And in the harem, which has always been firmly controlled by the queen's mother, the concubine seems to dare to stand up to her in front of her.

"Concubine Dan, when you speak, you have to talk about the evidence. At the beginning, when the five princes were concerned, the queen mother was praying for the drought in the three provinces, and Fenghua Guanzhong, the maids around her could not easily enter, and the grandmother around the queen mother also had attendants. ”

"Concubine Xian, don't worry about her. Guifei, as His Majesty said, as long as you have evidence, this Danfei is at your disposal, and now, you have put the evidence in front of this palace, so you say, how to deal with Danfei. The queen pressed the breath of her heart and looked at the concubine who was already crazy about this matter, and the concubine had a horizontal heart, "Since ancient times, killing people pays for their lives." ”

"Concubine Dan, after all, she is the biological mother of the prince, and now that Your Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, I hope you will think twice." The queen didn't really think about persuading the concubine, and now the forces in the court seem to be very clear.

The queen has no prince to count on, she naturally can't look down on my son, the four princes in the palace, the eldest prince is the prince, it seems that he is already the biggest winner, and the three princes born to Concubine Dan are also quite liked by His Majesty, and the Chai family also intends to get closer to support, the biological mother of the six princes is not high, and now she is just a small Zhaoyi, after the queen raised for a period of time, it is really difficult to educate, after the six princes were injured in an accident, the biological mother of the six princes cried so much that her eyes were blind, His Majesty could not bear to separate their mother and son, and sent him back to his biological mother. But although this Chun Zhaoyi was reluctant to have a son, he could still see things clearly and let his son get closer to the third prince.

Although the prince is powerful, none of the ladies in the palace like to be favored by His Majesty, they all hold their breath, and naturally they will not let their sons fall under the prince.

Now, the concubine wants to kill the biological mother of the prince who holds some power in her hands for an old thing ten years ago, which is really tantamount to asking for trouble.

Sure enough, before Concubine Dan was escorted, the third prince came up and made a big fuss, but it made the concubine even more irritable, the pain after the loss of her son had made her lose her mind, and she asked the prince to be invited.

At this time, the prince also had some inflated hearts, and was hit by a few words, and finally put on the shelf of the prince, "The father is not here, and the palace is the prince in charge of the country, this evil woman has harmed the fifth brother, and naturally the sin is not forgiven, and he will be given death immediately." ”

"Big brother, this is my mother, I, I beg you." The third prince should have never spoken to the prince in such a low voice, but the prince made him lose his sense of proportion the more he spoke, and the more he felt the expansion in his heart, "How can there be your mother, but she is a slut." You are the son of your father and the younger brother of the main hall, and you should not have anything to do with this slut. She killed your fifth brother, and you should hate her. ”

The queen glanced at me, she still has some understanding of the prince, although she is occasionally impulsive, but she is careful in doing things, and she can be regarded as cautious, there will never be such a time when she indulges herself.

In the end, Concubine Dan was still given death by the crown prince, and the three princes watched from the sidelines, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, as a prisoner of the country, gave him an order not to disobey.

His Majesty was finally rescued by his younger brother and General Xu Xiao, this fourteen-year-old young general is really brave and invincible, coming and going like the wind.

And my younger brother, who was the greatest hero in this war, rescued His Majesty, intertwined with King Yu, and coaxed him to cut off the head of King Liang.

The Liang army was defeated, and in the end it was even chased back to the cold capital by King Yu, or His Majesty recalled it quickly, otherwise the Liang State might also be destroyed.

Such a big war is a joy for the whole country. The younger brother finally did what he said, made meritorious contributions, and shared my worries.

I'm not very interested in all the happy events, but I moved out of that, and I have lived in a small palace for almost 20 years since I entered the palace, and moved to a Chonghua Palace.

I was the only one living in the palace, and when I moved to the palace, I told the palace people to take good care of my camellia tree, but it still didn't bloom after all, and I still didn't feel the arrival of spring.

"Your Majesty, is this year's spring too late?" I asked His Majesty, who was standing beside me patiently, and he plucked a young leaf and said "grace".
