The whole summer and autumn gradually passed, the weeping willows by the Taiye Pond were green and withered, the lotus flowers bloomed and thanked, and the concubine did not choose a more satisfactory candidate for the princess, and the princess herself was not willing to marry, so the princess's marriage was gradually put on hold.

The show girls selected for the crown prince on the side of the Yeting Palace were all ready, and after learning the palace rules and etiquette for several months, they were sent to the East Palace.

The concubine has seen that group of show girls, and almost all of them are impeccable in appearance. The news from the Yeting Palace also shows that this batch of show women is also good. The old eunuch of the Yeting Palace happily replied to the concubine, he had been training show girls since Emperor Dezong first ascended the throne, this batch of people was probably the best he had ever seen, both in appearance and temperament.

His Majesty personally decreed that among the six beauties, two Liangyuan, two Zhaoxun, and two Furong were canonized, and they were canonized on a certain day.

The concubine waited for more than a month, but she didn't hear which side concubine the prince preferred. Even, the news from the East Palace shows that the prince stayed in the Chongren Hall almost all the time and never entered the backyard except for getting drunk and entering a Wu Zhaoxun's house for the night on the day of his canonization.

But he never tried to meet or contact Luoluo again.

Luoluo has always lived in the side hall of Penglai Palace, and even when he came to Penglai Hall to say hello, the prince only came once in a while, and there was nothing unusual.

Winter came again as scheduled, and the winter clothes in the palace began to be purchased, and after the new clothes of Penglai Hall were made, Du Qiu, the dressing of the Shangfu Bureau, came to the door in person.

Nian Yun saw her and smiled, "Du Qiu, you are getting busier and busier now, why do you need to come here in person for these idle things?" ”

Du Qiu bowed his head and blessed her, "Niangniang, what Du Qiu did may not be an idle matter." ”

Nian Yun helped her up, stepped back from left and right, and asked, "Is there anything abnormal in the palace?" ”

Du Qiu lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment, but he never answered. Nianyun waited for a while, and then said, "Since you are here, why bother to spit out, just say it." ”

Du Qiu said: "If it is related to the East Palace, will the mother complain about Du Qiu?" ”

Nian Yun's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, and he was originally going to bring it to his mouth, but it seemed that he suddenly forgot what he was going to do and stopped in the air.

After a long time, she put the teacup down gently on the table and looked at Du Qiu, "Du Qiu, this palace knows that you are the most careful and cautious person, it doesn't matter, you just say it." ”

Du Qiu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and put it in front of Nian Yun, "Niangniang,." ”

Nian Yun picked it up and looked at it for a while, it was just an ordinary itemized list, and he didn't see anything abnormal.

She put the list back on the table and asked Du Qiu, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Du Qiu shook his head: "This list is almost no different from last year. However, because it was too normal, Du Qiu felt a little strange. According to the people in the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have raised some disciples in the past few months, and from time to time he has learned some martial arts and played some juggling. ”

After hearing what Nian Yun said, her brows began to twist.

Raising customers, learning martial arts, practicing juggling? Heng'er doesn't seem to have such a hobby, when he asked his master to teach him martial arts in the past, he didn't work hard, and even martial arts were not as good as Ning'er.

She took Du Qiu's words in her mind and asked, "You mean, Heng'er raised a doorman, but didn't apply for winter clothes for the doorman?" ”

"Yes." Du Qiu nodded, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there are five hundred princes and three hundred princes, as their own cronies, the palace can provide rice, food, clothing, etc. as appropriate, and it is not against the rules." ”

Heng'er has not been living in the East Palace for a long time, and he has not raised guests before. It is indeed strange that there is such a trend all of a sudden, but it is concealed and not reported, or even applied for supplies from the palace. It can even be said that it is a bit of a desire to cover up.

What is he trying to do?

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he can even be said to be the only prince who is suitable to inherit the throne, and he can't make mistakes. If it was for the sake of a fall, she had some thoughts that she shouldn't have, or did something she shouldn't do, even she, a mother, might not be able to escape the blame.

"Is there any news from Sishun?"

Du Qiu pointed to the outside of the main hall: "Du Qiu made a good idea, and privately invited Sishun's father-in-law to come over, and he waited outside the main hall." ”

Nianyun nodded, "Let him in." ”

Du Qiu is good at this, when he wants to return to something, he must make all the preparations, and he will never make some empty speculations. It is very time-saving and labor-saving.

Sishun came in, saluted like a concubine, and said, "Sishun, since you came with Du Qiu, you must know what is going on." Tell me, is there anything out of the ordinary? ”

"This ......" Sishun hesitated for a moment and knelt on the ground: "Niangniang forgive the sins, and the little cubs below will come back to report that His Highness rests in Chongren Hall every day, and those doormen ...... I also arranged to stay in Chongren Hall, juggling at night for fun, and we were not allowed to serve......"

"What about the winter clothes, have anyone noticed, did those customers get new winter clothes?"

Sishun kowtowed: "I don't know about the winter clothes, I seem to have heard that His Highness's disciples all wear fine kudzu cloth, and occasionally there is silk, but I don't know if His Highness will do it uniformly." ”

Nianyun nodded: "Okay, this palace knows, from today on, you will send more people to pay attention to the affairs of the East Palace, and if there is anything abnormal, you will report it to the palace in time, can you understand?" ”

This Sishun is a smart person, and he knows that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince and the future son of heaven, the noble concubine behind him is the one who really strategizes. He hurriedly nodded like garlic: "Yes, yes, the slave understands." ”

A few days later, when Nianyun summoned Sishun again, the news came that made her a little difficult to accept.

There are about thirty or fifty diners in the East Palace, and they also play polo every day in the name of martial arts and rehearsals, but what they do is probably a drill of formation and actual combat cooperation.

Not only that, but their crown prince seems to have hundreds of people outside the city. These people are uncertain, and their identities seem to be closer to those of the Dark Guard and ...... Assassin.

Moreover, the Shiquan beside him seemed to have been bought by him on some terms, and began to help him hide the situation together.

What does Heng'er want to do, is it to force the palace to rebel?

This kind of drama is no stranger to Nianyun. When Emperor Dezong was sick, His Majesty was also like this. There is also the Emperor Taishang......

Those memories are brutal and bloody, and from ancient times to the present day, any coup d'état has a bloodthirsty atmosphere.

But this time, she didn't want to see even the slightest bit of gore. Because of these two people, one is the man she has relied on all her life, and the other is the son she has watched grow up little by little. Both of them are the most important people in her life.

Moreover, she knew the intelligence and ability of her son, he did not have his father's skills and strategies at all, and if he did, he would only bring about his own destruction.

She needs to mention this matter and ring the alarm bell, she can't let this child do anything wrong.

She pondered what to do next, tapping her fingers on the table unconsciously, and the other hand picked up the teacup on the table and brought it to her lips.

One reached over and took away the teacup she had sent to her lips, "Niangniang forgot, this is yesterday's overnight tea, I can't drink it, Niangniang and wait, Qixi will cook a new one for Niangniang." ”

Nianyun looked up and saw that it was Qixi, tall and thin, with his back to her, bending down and putting the purple sand teapot on the tea stove.

She put the small teacups aside and said casually: "Where did the fennel pothos go, why did it disappear early in the morning?" ”

Qixi looked at the boiling water, and replied gently: "Niangniang forgot, didn't you tell Luluo to go to the Shangfu Bureau to pick up things last night." Princess Fangcai wanted to go to the pool of liquid, and Fennel went with her. ”

Nian Yun helped his sideburns and sighed lightly, "Hey, I'm old, look at this memory!" ”

The water on the stove was already boiling, Qixi picked up the purple clay pot, poured water on the tea cup to wash the cup and warm the cup, and added mountain spring water to it, simmering slowly.

Hearing that Nianyun just sighed uncontrollably, he asked, "I don't know what Niangniang is worried about?" ”

It's really troublesome, but it's not something that can be relieved by talking to the people below. Nianyun said: "It's nothing." ”

Qixi stopped with his hand fanning the fire, and suddenly said, "Niangniang, are you worried about His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"What did you say?" Nian Yun was startled, and almost brushed the few teacups at hand to the ground.

Qixi lowered his head, and there was no emotion on his face, "Niangniang, don't be impatient." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trained the secret guards in private, even if the Liufu side probably already knew about it, Qixi knew that it was not a shocking thing. ”

Qixi is her cronies, and there are more or less people who have installed her in the East Palace, if Qixi has a heart, it is really not difficult to know.

Rokfook ......

There is no doubt that the Six Blessings are His Majesty's people, and if even the Six Blessings already know about them, then that means that His Majesty ......

Nian Yun almost didn't dare to think about it.

Although His Majesty has appointed Heng'er as the crown prince, and his favor for her can almost be called unparalleled, but in all dynasties, this matter is taboo. Even if the heir who has been drafted is too eager to ascend the throne and become emperor, most of them will not end well, especially when His Majesty the Emperor is still an iron-blooded emperor who has made a difference.

If His Majesty really moves the heart of abolishing Heng'er, the consequences will be unimaginable. His Majesty's heirs are thin, and if something happens to Heng'er, then he can only inherit from the descendants of other princes. When the time comes, the desires of those people will be aroused, and I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm.

At that time, even if Guozuo is still stable, what about the Guo family? If the throne changes, the Guo family's honor may not be maintained. Starting from my grandfather, the big family that worked hard to support me doesn't know what kind of heavy blow it will be hit at that time.

Not only will Heng'er's life change, but even the fate of the Guo family may be worried.

"Qixi," Nianyun suddenly grabbed Qixi's sleeve, "You go to the East Palace for the main palace and warn Heng'er, don't do stupid things......"
