The emperor has been tired of the queen recently, and as soon as they met, he urged him to hurry up and remove King Qiong's military power and weaken the power of King Qiong's mansion.

It's not that the emperor doesn't want to do it, but he knows that although King Qiong is in the capital, his prestige remains in the northern frontier, and once the king of Qiong is moved, he does not dare to guarantee that the northern frontier will not rebel. I just thought that it would take a long time in the future, and I would slowly wait for the soldiers in northern Xinjiang to relax and see the opportunity to act again.

Moreover, because King Qiong returned to the capital, there would be no chaos in northern Xinjiang, and Dali in southern Xinjiang is now calm. The emperor was down-to-earth, so he didn't bother to worry about those things.

Every day, in the West Palace, there is no queen.

The queen has never been pregnant, and now the emperor has not seen her all day long, and she is even more angry and anxious.

The nurse returned to King Qiong's mansion to take the little prince and the county lord, and the nurse's daughter stayed in the mansion to serve Qiu Xun, although Xing'er was not as smart and careful as Purple Butterfly and Chunnuan. But it is also neat and diligent.

The nurse asked Qiu Xun about Zhao Gongzi and Qiu Xun more than once, and the children wanted Mr. to come back soon and teach them to read and learn to draw.

Qiu Xun only said that he didn't know where they went, and he would send someone to inquire if they heard that King Qiong had returned to the capital. Will be back soon.

Qiu Xun calculated the days, Chun Nuan should have been born for a few months, and I don't know what happened to her and Zhao Gongzi. I think of them in my heart.

King Qiong and Nie Tiancheng, Young Master Shi were drinking wine in the guest room. Young Master Shi has a cup of all-you-can-drink.

"Didn't the emperor mention the military power to you these days?" Nie Tiancheng asked King Qiong.

"No," King Qiong said, taking a sip of wine, "it's useless for him to unload my military power, it's better to be favorable, and it seems that the emperor trusts me." ”

"Sure enough, it's smarter than the first emperor," Young Master Shi hadn't completely eaten a glass of wine, and left half of his senses, "but the secret arrow is difficult to prevent." ”

Nie Tiancheng looked at Young Master Shi and poured a glass of wine directly into Young Master Shi's mouth.

"On the day you go to Northern Xinjiang, I will also secretly investigate the poisoning on Chinese New Year's Eve," Nie Tiancheng lowered his voice, "I once bought Qiu Heng to be secretly interrogated in the cell, and he said that the poisoning on Chinese New Year's Eve was not the fourth prince, but the great prince. ”

"Ao, then why did the four princes protect the eldest prince and not allow me to find out who poisoned people." King Joan asked.

"Because he's afraid of being involved in another poisoning case?"

"Which one?" King Joan asked.

"The person who poisoned the princess back then was not Aunt Shen, but also the eldest prince." Nie Tiancheng stood up, looked outside the house, closed the door again, and said, "But he was instructed by the fourth prince, the current emperor. ”

"They poisoned me because they were afraid that I would threaten them to take the crown prince." King Qiong stood up and walked back and forth, "But what did they poison the princess for, and at that time Xun'er was just a little girl of fourteen or five years old. ”

"It's also because of you, King Qiong," Nie Tiancheng said with a look on King Qiong's face, "At that time, you and the princess had just been married, and the fourth prince knew that the princess was smart, beautiful, healthy and lively. In order to continue to spread the reputation of your wife, I poisoned it, but I didn't expect the princess to have a big life and come back to life. ”

When King Qiong heard Nie Tiancheng's words, he felt a wave of anger rushing to his head.

It turned out that Qiu Xun had been implicated by himself, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Nie Tiancheng, "Don't let the princess know about this, I'm afraid she won't be able to suppress her anger." ”

Nie Tiancheng looked at King Qiong and said, "Yes, King Qiong, but King Qiong still has to prepare early." It can no longer be passive, but the embankment is the main thing. ”

King Qiong understood what Nie Tiancheng meant.

King Qiong secretly thought, I, King Qiong, have been obedient since I was a child in the palace. I don't want to fight for the throne, but you have repeatedly forced me, and you have harmed me three times, and you are trying to force me to take action.

"King Qiong, this matter must be considered in the long run, and you must not let them see that you know these things," Nie Tiancheng was afraid that King Qiong would not be able to suppress his anger.

"I know," said King Joan, "that the time is not yet ripe, and that we must wait for the right time." ”

After discussing the big things, Nie Tiancheng picked up the sleeping Young Master Shi. Farewell to King Qiong and leave King Qiong's mansion.

King Qiong was alone in the house suppressing his anger and calming his emotions, in order not to let Qiu Xun see it.

"Lord Wang, come out quickly, see who is back?" Qiu Xun was calling him.

King Joan let out a long breath and walked out of the room after a while.

In the courtyard stood Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan holding the child.

"I've seen King Qiong," Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan hurriedly came over to give King Qiong a salute.

King Joan hurriedly lifted them up.

Seeing Chun Nuan and Zhao Gongzi, King Qiong's mood was much better.

"You're finally back," Qiu Xun picked up Chun Nuan's child. "Is it a daughter or a son?"

"It's a daughter," Zhao Gongzi replied.

"What a beautiful embryo," Akihiro praised. "Have you picked a name?"

"It's called Runyu," Chun Nuan looked at Zhao Gongzi shyly, "the name her father gave her." ”

"Runyu, that's nice." Qiu Xun happily kissed Xiao Runyu.

As she was talking about the excitement, the nurse ran out of the back garden, and she wiped the table in the study every day when she was fine, saying that Mr. Zhao could open the school for the children as soon as he came back.

She grabbed Chun Nuan's hand. said, "Finally, I have brought you back." Where have you been? ”

Chun Nuan helped the nurse wipe away the tears on her face and said, "I came out of the palace and had nowhere to go, so it was Zhao Gongzi who took me to a small village that we didn't know about and settled down." These are the words that King Qiong taught Chun Nuan. King Joan also commanded her to say the same to anyone.

"So you, ahaha," the nurse looked at Chun Nuan's child, looked at Zhao Gongzi, and understood everything. The nurse laughed happily.

Qiu Xun settled Chun Nuan and Zhao Gongzi's room and said, "In the past few days, the children are looking forward to Mr. coming back to teach them to read, and Gongzi will rest for two days before opening the school." ”

"I wanted to come back later, but the child is too young and I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything." Chun Nuan said with her head down. "I just miss you so much."

"You and the nurse take care of the three children, and the nurse's daughter Xing'er will follow me." Qiu Xun said, "I'll buy a girl in a few days." ”

Chun Nuan took Qiu Xun's hand and said. "Miss. You better find another nurse, I still serve you, I don't worry about others. ”

Qiu Xun stroked Chun Nuan's hand and said, "Okay, I'm really not used to it without you by my side." ”

The news of Chun Nuan's return to the house was soon known by the eldest princess, and the matter of a girl in the house was not paid attention to. But when Chun Nuan came back, she became a relative to the queen's cousin and had a daughter, which added weight.

Early in the morning, the eldest princess came to the harem.

The queen hadn't seen the emperor for several days. The emperor didn't come, but the queen mother came often from time to time, and she had nothing to teach her a few words, and then looked at her stomach that had not moved and left angrily.

This queen is also enough.

The eldest princess couldn't wait when she saw the queen, "Queen, I said that the second princess is really a strange person." Even her personal maid is amazing. ”

"Is that the girl named Chun Nuan?" The queen said. "It's amazing what a girl can do."

"It's such a girl, she was stunned to be married to that Zhao Gongzi, oh, by the way, it was the queen's cousin. also took the child back to King Qiong's mansion. ”

"Ahh The queen was shocked that her cousin, who she misses every day, actually married Qiu Xun's personal girl, which is obviously humiliating me, the queen, "Are you serious?" ”

"Queen, how dare I talk nonsense." The eldest princess continued, "It seems that Zhao Gongzi saw that she had nowhere to go, so she was pitiful, so she took him to a rural area. ”

The queen couldn't listen anymore. She slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground.

"Queen, what are you?" The eldest princess didn't know why the queen was so atmospheric.

The queen also felt a little out of shape, and hurriedly said, "Zhao Gongzi is both talented and beautiful, and he is the queen's cousin, how can he marry a maid as his wife." ”

"Yes, Queen, do you think this is strange?" The eldest princess saw that the queen was a little impatient, stood up and hurriedly left the harem.

The queen felt a great sense of shame. She couldn't wait to tear Qiu Xun's personal girl apart, but how could she find the emperor to cure her crimes? She can't say that her cousin is someone she likes. How can you marry a maid?

The queen has lost her mind, and she wants to go to King Qiong's mansion to find her cousin in person and ask him why he wants to marry a maid.

The next day, the queen only brought two palace maids, did not dare to take a sedan chair, and hired a carriage to come to King Qiong's mansion.

Qiu Xun heard the little guy guarding the door say that the queen was coming. Hurry up with your family and welcome the queen. I wondered in my heart. Okay, what did the queen do when she came to King Qiong's mansion.

Welcoming the queen in, Qiu Xun set up a seat for the queen again, and when the queen sat down, Qiu Xun gave a salute, "I've seen the queen." ”

"Oh, I heard that Zhao Gongzi became a relative, and he also added a cousin and niece to me, I'll come and see them." The queen tried to slow her tone as much as she could.

"The student has seen the queen mother," Zhao Gongzi heard that he was coming for himself. Hurry over and give a salute.

The queen glanced at Zhao Gongzi. There was a mixture of love and hatred in his heart, "Then my cousin will take me to see my niece." ”

Childe took the queen to the house of the little prince and the county lord.

"Go out, all of you," said the Queen.

The nurse hurriedly led the little prince and the county lord out.

The queen looked at Xiao Runyu lying on the bed, which was her cousin's other face, except for the small dots. There is no difference.

"Why do you want to marry a maid?" The queen lowered her voice and asked in a choked voice.

"Can't you let me marry a princess?" Zhao Gongzi said lightly, "When Chun Nuan and I experienced the crisis together, we shared weal and woe, and never gave up, we are a husband and wife in distress." ”

"So what should I do?" The queen finally couldn't help it. She tugged at the sleeve of her son's coat, "Cousin, have you forgotten our childhood sweethearts, Qin Se and Ming?" ”

Zhao Gongzi shook off the queen's hand, took a step back, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "The queen forgives the sin, and the students dare not offend the queen." ”

The queen sobered up a little.

Qiu Xun walked in with Chun Nuan.

"I've seen the queen," Chun Nuan gave the queen a salute.

"The queen is Chun Nuan, and I are like sisters, she and Zhao Gongzi have become married. There are also daughters, this is a happy event, the queen must be happy for them. ”
