Thirty, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Prince Rong Liang Yuan entered the palace this morning, planning to go to Guanghua Hall to see the emperor first, and then go to Xiufang Palace to ask Yu Shuang, the concubine Niangniang, to say goodbye.

The emperor was looking at the book with his face down, and Eunuch Kang stood aside, took the tea cup handed by the palace maid, gently put it on the table, and proposed: "Your Majesty, you have been reading for a long time, why don't you take a sip of tea first and rest for a while?"

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he put down the book and asked slowly, "Kang Ruohai, what day is today?" ”

Eunuch Kang was slightly frightened: "Emperor, today is Chinese New Year's Eve!" You forgot again. ”

The emperor's eyebrows were lowered, he picked up the teacup and blew the floating leaves lightly, took a shallow sip, and then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, and said with emotion: "I am old, I often don't remember, my life is more than half a hundred years old, and these days are getting fewer and fewer." ”

Eunuch Kang hurriedly walked to the emperor and knelt down, and said respectfully: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Hahaha!" The emperor raised his eyebrows and grinned: "Kang Ruohai, you have been following me for several years, I have always been relieved that you are doing things, I want you to go to Prince Rong's mansion this time to see with your own eyes how the princess is doing." ”

"Emperor, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Prince Rong may bring the princess over to ask the emperor for peace, and the emperor can see with his own eyes what the current situation of the princess is."

As soon as Eunuch Kang's voice fell, the little eunuch outside the door walked in from outside the palace and announced: "Your Majesty, Prince Rong is here!" ”

The emperor put down the book in his hand, his expression was constricted, and he said, "Xuan!" ”

As soon as the announcement was made, Liang Yuan, Prince Rong, walked in from outside the door, and the emperor frowned slightly when he saw that Liang Yuan did not come with the princess.

Liang Yuan walked up to the emperor, knelt down and saluted, "Sons and daughters see their father!" ”

The emperor said, "Yuan'er, please get up quickly!"

Prince Rong Liang Yuan stood up after agreeing, and the emperor was silent for a long time before he asked, "Yuan'er, why didn't Princess Ye come?"

Liang Yuan replied: "Back to my father, Mei'er has been seriously ill recently, and now she is lying on the bed to recuperate, and she can't go to the palace. ”

The emperor sighed faintly, and said slowly: "Mei'er's health has not been very good in recent years, I am a little worried about her, Yuan'er, in the past few years outside the Guan, you have really made great achievements and won glory for my face, and you have really worked hard for you all these years." ”

The corners of Prince Rong's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "Father, all this is what a son should do, and it is the duty of a son to share his father's worries." ”

"Hahaha!" The emperor smiled, his dark eyes turned slightly, and his gaze fell on a wooden bench by the wall, and said, "Yuan'er, go and sit down." ”

Liang Yuan lowered his head slightly and said, "Erchen doesn't dare." ”

"I and you are both a monarch and a minister, and a father and son, why don't you dare? I let you sit, and you sit. ”

Prince Rong Liang Yuan smiled lightly, then walked to the position by the wall and sat down.

After the palace maid went to pour a bowl of tea for Liang Yuan, Prince Rong, the emperor asked suspiciously: "Yuan'er, why did Princess Ye suddenly become seriously ill recently?" ”

Liang Yuan's eyes darkened: "Back to my father's words, Erchen has been outside the gate for the past few years, and has no time to take care of his wife and children, Mei'er never said in the letter about her physical condition, Erchen really doesn't know much, but thanks to the careful care of Imperial Doctor Jiang in the palace, Mei'er's body is still better." ”

The emperor frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Your husband and father are really unqualified. ”

Liang Yuan's eyebrows jumped: "Erchen is at fault!" ”

"But over the years, you have repeatedly won great military exploits, made great contributions, won glory for me and Nanyue, and the days outside the customs were very hard and hard, and it is reasonable that you have no time to take care of your wife and children."

The emperor continued: "Yuan'er, you are twenty-five years old this year, but you have only married one princess, the Ye family has been married to you for seven years, since you gave birth to a little emperor grandson, your body is not as good as day by day, that little emperor grandson is very clever and intelligent, and it is the most satisfying among all the emperors and grandchildren, but now it is a little difficult for me to ask you for another emperor grandson." ”

Liang Yuan frowned: "Father, it was the son-in-law who failed to fulfill his husband's responsibilities and filial piety, making Mei'er wait day and night, which also worried his father." ”

The emperor pressed his eyebrows and said: "You have been too busy outside these years, and you have rarely had time to accompany the Ye family, but now that you are back, you have enough time to accompany your wife and children, but you only have one princess is always considered less, if you are free, you go to see which family's daughter is your favorite, and I will give you a marriage." ”

Liang Yuan thought slightly, frowned, and said: "Father, the sons have no time to take care of their children's private affairs over the years, and they feel guilty about Mei'er, and now Mei'er's physical condition is very poor, and the sons want to spend more time with her, and they are unwilling to take concubines for the time being." ”

The emperor frowned slightly: "I already know what you mean, Yuan'er, whenever you have a woman you like, I will support you and complete your marriage." ”

Liang Yuan bowed slightly: "Son-in-law Xie Father."

After retreating from Guanghua Palace, Liang Yuan, Prince Rong, walked to Xiufang Palace.

Shuo Qiu hurriedly walked in from outside the door and said happily: "Niangniang, Prince Rong is here!" ”

Yu Shuangmo, who was frowning and drooping his eyes, suddenly had his pupils dark and shiny in a wave of shallow eyes, and he smiled and said, "Quick, let him in!" ”

Liang Yuan, Prince Rong, walked into the house, saw Yu Shuangmo, and saluted: "Erchen to meet the concubine." ”

Yu Shuangmo hurriedly stepped forward to help Liang Yuan's hand, and said with a soft smile: "Yuan'er, please get up quickly!" ”

Yu Shuangmo looked at Liang Yuan, the joy on her face overflowed unconsciously, and she said happily and worriedly: "Yuan'er, the mother concubine hasn't seen you for several years, and you have been gone for another three years, and after you come back, everyone has lost a lot of weight." ”

Liang Yuan gently pressed Yu Shuang's hand that touched his face, and said, "Mother, my son's ministers have often missed you in the years they have been outside the gate. ”

Yu Shuangmo smiled: "You miss your mother, you know that over the years, the letters you sent have always been kept. ”

Having said this, Shuo Qiu walked over with a wooden box in his hand, and after opening it, Liang Yuan saw that dozens of letters were placed inside, and said with a smile: "Mother, Erchen didn't expect that these letters were preserved intact." ”

Yu Shuang smiled silently: "The letter that my Yuan'er wrote to me, I naturally want to keep it well." ”

After Yu Shuangmo let Liang Yuan sit down, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she asked suspiciously: "Yuan'er, why don't you bring the princess into the palace and say hello to the concubine?" ”

Liang Yuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly patted his head and said: "It's the son-in-law who forgot, so he didn't tell the mother why Mei'er didn't come today, and he didn't greet the mother on behalf of Mei'er, the son-in-law is at fault."

"It's okay, Yuan'er, tell your mother now, why didn't she come?"

Liang Yuan's long eyebrows frowned slightly: "Mei'er has been seriously ill recently, and she is recuperating on the bed, so she couldn't come, and she asked her mother to forgive her sins." ”

Yu Shuangmo smiled slightly: "Since you are not feeling well, you can raise it in the mansion, what is the crime, but in recent days, Imperial Doctor Jiang has been taking care of the princess in Prince Rong's mansion, Imperial Doctor Jiang has always been the most skilled imperial doctor in the palace, and the princess is in better health under the careful care of Imperial Doctor Jiang?" ”

"Back to the mother's concubine, Mei'er has been in better shape recently than a few days ago."

Yu Shuangmo bent his eyebrows and said softly: "If your body is better, that's good!" ”
