The dispute at the palace gate quickly spread in every corner of the imperial city, and soon spread to the Lizheng Palace, where the emperor was summoning ministers to discuss state affairs, and when he heard about the dispute, he was furious.

When the crown prince and the fiefdom prince quarreled at the gate of the imperial city, it was a loss of face and a loss of national body.

In this way, in front of all the important ministers, the two were summoned to the Lizheng Hall to ask what the so-called matter was.

King Kang Zhu Bo was originally born of a palace maid, and he was not favored by the emperor since he was a child, and he was casually named king by his father and went to the fiefdom, and he was not called back to Beijing when he was idle. This time, he returned to Beijing without being summoned, which was naturally a mistake in the first place. still quarreled in front of the prince, ignoring the order of the elders and the young, and provoking the distinction between the monarch and the minister, which was even more wrong.

When Emperor Zhu Yuanming saw him, he was already full of fire because of the affairs of the court and politics, but now he seemed to have found an outlet, and he vented it all on him, and a sky blue glazed red spotted petal-type tea cup was thrown straight at him, and the ruthlessness didn't seem to treat him as a son, and the tea cup fell to the ground and bloomed in an instant, "Say!" What the hell is going on? The prince is not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict! ”

Zhu Boqiang gritted his teeth, he was still quite angry in his heart, "The people in the palace sent a message, saying that his son A-Niang is seriously ill, and his son will return to Beijing to visit." ”

Up to now, King Kang's mother has no concubine grade because of her background as a palace maid, Zhu Bo is naturally angry in his heart, but no matter how angry he is, there is no difference in etiquette, he can't be called a concubine after all.

Zhu Yuanming was stunned at the beginning, "Why don't you take the fold first and then return to Beijing?" ”

"The son has folded many times, but has not yet received a reply. Erchen was anxious, so he could only return to Beijing first. ”

How many times have you been broken?

Zhu Yuanming has never seen a twist and turn. I'm afraid I'm being detained. This matter cannot be discussed before the ministers. Then he said, "You two, why are you arguing?" ”

The crown prince Zhu Yuan bowed his hand to salute, showing the demeanor of the heavenly family, "Back to the father, the son is to prevent the third brother from entering the imperial city, the prince is not allowed to enter the capital without an edict, and the son discourages him from returning to the fief in time." However, the third brother had some misunderstandings, so they quarreled. ”

"As the eldest brother, Erchen argued with the third brother on the spot, it is really inappropriate, it is Erchen's fault, and Erchen is willing to accept the punishment."

This is a mistake that people can't find fault, the prince is the prince in the end, and the surface work is very deep, which makes Zhu Bo, who was kneeling on the side, even more dissatisfied.

In front of the ministers, Zhu Yuanming is not good at partiality with anyone, he only avoids the important and light, and instructs lightly, "After you finish reading your mother, go back to the fiefdom!" ”

"Father, the son of the emperor has returned to Beijing this time, and he also has important things to say."

Zhu Yuanming waved away a group of ministers, and after a while, only two of them were left in the palace, and he didn't want to see the matter of the brothers' wall, but he also understood that the royal brothers could be as harmonious as the common people's families, after all, there was only one throne.

Although he had already established the crown prince, the temptation of imperial power was not small.

"What?"

"Back to my father, the princess has been pregnant for more than two months, and she should have given priority to the safety of the baby, but this time she had to leave her family and enter Beijing with her son, but it was for some things that happened to her mother's family, which involved the royal family, and asked her father to judge it himself."

Zhu Yuanming didn't expect this to be the case, he had long heard that King Kang and the princess had a deep relationship, and the concubines in the mansion were all furnished, and this son would risk death to enter Beijing for her?

Does he believe that King Kang will risk death to enter Beijing because that palace maid is seriously ill, and even the people in the palace will send a message to him? I'm afraid that I entered Beijing for the princess.

And as his father-in-law, he doesn't seem to have seen Princess Kang a few times, so he has no impression. Who is her surname, Zhu Yuanming can't remember it in the morning, where will she pay attention to the affairs of her mother's family.

He muttered, "Your princess ......"

Zhu Bo followed, "Princess Kang, Fang." ”

Fang's ...... Zhu Yuanming still didn't have any impression, he was searching for the Fang family in his memory, which family was it?

After a while, he remembered that it was the daughter of an eight-grade sesame petty official, and her family was too low to match a prince, but he didn't care, he only heard the queen mention that this girl was very good, with a good temperament and a generous match with King Kang, and seeing that the queen mother had no opinion, he agreed, and did not check how this daughter-in-law was. Simply their little couple has a good relationship.

Recalling this, Zhu Yuanming suddenly remembered that King Kang already had a son and two daughters under his knees, both of whom were born to the princess. This ability to pass on the family is really much easier for those girls who are not from big clans. It's like that crown princess, I'm afraid that she has been pampered for too long in a big family, and even her body is very weak.

Zhu Yuanming, who had roughly sorted out his thoughts, spoke again, breaking the silence in the hall, "What's going on in her family?" Her father is not an official, and it is enough to give an eight-grade product. The implication is for the sake of Princess Kang's meritorious childbirth.

"Princess Erchen has a younger sister, who has not yet left the cabinet, has been married, and was taken by the royal family a few months ago, and had to be robbed to be a concubine, but the Fang family did not agree, but the person said that he would not let go and must be a concubine, and then her sister committed suicide. This news reached the fiefdom. ”

"I beg my father to decide."

There is still such a royal family member who forced a woman from a good family to death? Zhu Yuanming was stunned, "Who is it?" ”

"Listening to the Fang family, the other party only said that it was a royal person, and he didn't know who it was. Therefore, the son begged his father to investigate the matter thoroughly and return justice to the Fang family. ”

As the emperor, this matter is really in charge. Although she is the daughter of an eight-grade sesame petty official, there should be no such thing as the royal family forcing a woman from a good family to die, "I know." I will return justice to the Fang family. ”

"Thank you, Father."

Zhu Yuanming waved away the two brothers, and the dispute was perfunctory, and the quarrel between the brothers was a family matter in his opinion, and there was no need to deal with it according to the rules, so as not to affect the harmony of the brothers.

King Kang returned to Beijing without an edict, although he was angry, but he was not unsympathetic, and finally ordered a fine of one year and kneeling in the temple for three days and three nights, in order to set an example, if he committed it again, he would be severely punished.

As for the prince's side, there is another woman in the East Palace, and I heard that the family is lowly and the body is strong.

This matter was rumored to be boiling until it was getting dark, and Wang Jingshu listened to the chatter of the dyed willow while unloading the jewelry.

"Why are brothers arguing, but the prince still gives a woman?" There are already many wives and concubines in the East Palace. Wang Jingshu only dared to think about this, "I can't understand it a little." ”

Lin Nushi reminded with a smile, "The master doesn't know, Princess Kang is very good at giving birth, and King Kang has had a son and two daughters after more than three years of marriage." I heard that she is pregnant again. ”

The words are intentional, Wang Jingshu can understand it, the left is just for the heir, King Kang is not hard-hearted, but the heir is very hard-hearted. But he didn't mention this matter, and only smiled and talked about another prince, "I heard that King Yi's fief is in Raozhou, which is extremely rich in the east. ”

"Yes, compared to King Kang's fiefdom, Liancheng is extremely rich. It is the most important level of defense against foreign enemies in the east. "Although Lin Nushi knows a lot about things in the harem, "King Yi's mother is the late Concubine Zhuang Min. His princess is the eldest daughter of Lord Shangshu, Wu, who is the princess whom King Yi personally proposed to marry, but unfortunately has never given birth. In addition, Raozhou is too rich...... Therefore, there are many concubines. ”

Raozhou is too rich...... Does that mean that the prince is nostalgic for the land of fireworks, so there are many concubines?

"Then now, the emperor's grandson is only the son of King Kang?"

"Yes." That's the case, but the emperor doesn't care at all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor hopes that the crown princess can give birth, and that is the real bloodline. This time, I directly stuffed women into the East Palace, I am afraid that I am also in a hurry, the prince has no other heirs except for an illegitimate daughter.

Wang Jingshu thought of King Kang again, and asked after changing her bedclothes: "How did I hear that Princess Kang is also here this time, so I ......?"

"You really should go and see King Kang and Princess Kang. It was only the princess and princess who returned to Beijing and were punished again. You can also go back in two days. ”

The existence of Lin Nushi is like a military advisor next to Wang Jingshu, and she can always get twice the result with half the effort. Regarding the matter of the harem, about the matter of welcoming and sending her to the clan, Wang Jingshu mostly asked her what she meant, and she was extremely trusting.

Because of Lin Nushi's words, Wang Jingshu originally wanted to visit her in two days, but she didn't think about it, and the next morning, she came out of the Ninghui Palace and met Princess Kang Fang, who kowtowed outside the palace to leave. When she was happy, it was inconvenient to enter the hall, so she kowtowed outside the hall to show her sincerity to the Queen Mother.

Neither of them knew each other, but they both guessed each other's identities.

Princess Kang Fang was honest and a little cautious, Wang Jingshu liked it when she saw it, and immediately heard her ask, "You are the fourth brother and sister, Princess Ning?" ”

Originally, the princely wedding, the vassal princes and clansmen had to rush to Kyoto to attend the wedding, but King Ning's wedding was too hurried, and the royal relatives who were not in Beijing could only miss it if they couldn't return for a while.

"Yes, this is a gift for the third sister-in-law."

Princess Kang leaned slightly sideways and only accepted a half-salute, and gave a half-salute, "You and I are concubines, you don't have to be polite." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"When I first saw the four brothers and sisters, I felt that I fell in love, why don't we go together?"

Wang Jingshu has no reason not to admit it, "Okay." ”

The two concubines walked silently along the palace road. Princess Kang broke the silence with a smile, "I just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, and I haven't had time to drink the tea of my younger siblings." ”

Wang Jingshu answered happily, "If my sister-in-law wants to drink, I will go to the prince's office." ”

Princess Kang stroked her lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, "I think, it's a pity, my body is not very useful, and I can't drink tea, but I have disappointed the kindness of my younger siblings." ”

There are words in the words, Wang Jingshu understands, but she can't drink tea when she is pregnant. But that sounds weird. Perhaps, Princess Kang, who was born in a small family, has been a daughter-in-law in the court for a long time, and it is not simple.

It's a pity that Princess Kang's move is destined to not suppress Wang Jingshu, she only mentioned lightly, "My sister-in-law is so blessed, she gave birth to a son and two daughters in a row, and now she is pregnant again." ”

"Where am I so blessed," Princess Kang mentioned again, "my younger brother and sister are not in a hurry to have an heir, but some people are in a hurry." ”

It means something, and it's about the crown princess. There are only three of them in the imperial city, and they will never talk about Princess Yi who is far away in Raozhou.

The crown princess has a prominent family background and is a future queen. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, why does Princess Kang want to offend her? In front of the public, this word will reach the East Palace.
