Ye Tingfeng got up from the swing, shook the fan in his hand, and smiled at Zhen Ronghua, "What are you going to do another day?" The child sleeps fast and wakes up quickly, maybe we will go all the way, and the four princes may have woken up. ”

A smile appeared in Zhen Ronghua's eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth widened, and he followed behind Ye Tingfeng and respectfully echoed, "What the queen mother said." ”

Bypassing the rockery, Ye Tingfeng took Zhen Ronghua to the side hall where the four princes lived.

The side hall is very quiet, the four princes have not woken up, they are sleeping sweetly in the cradle, and the tender red mouth is sucking and sucking, which is cute.

Ye Tingfeng slowly walked to the cradle, stretched out his slender hand and pressed down the small pale yellow quilt on the side of the fourth prince's ear, and smiled softly.

"How cute." Ye Tingfeng turned back to Zhen Ronghua and smiled, "You come to the front." ”

Zhen Ronghua slowly walked to Ye Tingfeng's side, and the gaze that fell on the body of the fourth prince became pitiful.

After she gently shook the cradle of the fourth prince twice with her hand, she pursed her lips and smiled, turned back to Ye Tingfeng and whispered, "Queen Mother, you see how much the fourth prince's nose looks like Mrs. Liu." ”

Ye Tingfeng nodded lightly and said with a smile, "The eyes are also similar, but I can't see it when I'm asleep now." ”

Zhen Ronghua bit her lip and nodded repeatedly, her eyes were red, and she burst into tears......

In the outer hall of the Guanju Palace, which is full of orange sunsets, there is a faint fragrance of lilies. The dripping leak placed on the side of Duobaoge, the pointer pointed to the second quarter of the Shen hour in a thin rustle.

With a 'ding' sound, the plain silver hairpin held by Ye Tingfeng touched the bronze engraved peony flower incense burner with lily incense.

Zhen Ronghua sat on the carved round table on the side of the low couch, her eyes slightly red.

She took the brocade handkerchief and lightly tried the side of her nose, and said softly to Ye Tingfeng, who was sitting on the low couch without a trace of expression on her face, "The queen mother, the concubine is out of order." The concubines saw the sadness in the hearts of the four princes, all because they loved and pitied him for losing his biological mother at a young age. ”

After sobbing, Zhen Ronghua raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Tingfeng's expression. Seeing that Kaede couldn't hear her words at night, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Wen Qing walked in from the outside with small steps, and instructed the little palace maid to place a tea cup and a white jade plate osmanthus cake on the small table beside Zhen Ronghua's hand.

Personally put a white jade tea cup on the small table on the side of Ye Tingfeng's hand, and asked Qing to say softly, "Queen Mother, the fourth prince has woken up." ”

'Ding' and 'Ding' twice, I heard Feng knock the plain silver hairpin in his hand twice on the incense burner, put it down and said, "Let the nurse be careful and know what is hot and cold." ”

"Yes, the slave will tell you." Wen Qing raised her eyes, and saw Zhen Ronghua's gaze collide with hers and flashed over.

"Zhen Ronghua feels sorry for the four princes, how can this palace blame you?" Ye Tingfeng finally raised his head to look at Zhen Ronghua, and smiled softly, "Not only Zhen Ronghua feels sorry for the four princes, but the palace also feels sorry for the four princes, and I can't see him crying." ”

"The fact that the four princes can be in the Guanju Palace is a blessing that the four princes have cultivated for several generations." Zhen Ronghua's tone was soft, but there was a trance in his eyes.

Grabbing the brocade in his hand and clutching it, Zhen Ronghua got up from the round table and knelt down to Ye Tingfeng, biting her cherry lip and saying, "Queen Mother, concubine, can you ......?"

Her beautiful eyes swept over the palace maid waiting in the outer hall, and Zhen Ronghua's eyes showed a hint of expectation.

Ye Tingfeng took a sip of the teacup, wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and said to Zhiliu who was standing on the side, "Zhiliu......"

Zhiliu blessed, and took out the eight little palace maids in the outer hall.

"Zhen Ronghua, if you have something to say, just say it." Ye Tingfeng looked at Zhen Ronghua who was kneeling at his feet and said bluntly, "Don't take the fourth prince as a fool anymore." ”

"The concubines see that the four princes are true, and they don't treat him as a concubine. It's just that what I want to say to the queen is also true. Zhen Ronghua, who has always shown people with softness, showed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Then let's talk about it." Ye Tingfeng raised his eyebrows and replied.

"The Queen." Zhen Ronghua pursed her lips, and tears appeared again in her ruthless eyes, "Queen Mother, the concubine begged the Queen Mother to be the master of Mrs. Liu, and to give Mrs. Liu justice." ”

Ye Tingfeng chuckled, "Mrs. Liu died in childbirth, what justice do you want?" ”

"Mrs. Liu did die in childbirth, but this difficult childbirth ...... Queen Mother," Zhen Ronghua choked up and cried, "Mrs. Liu loves her child, and since she knew that she was pregnant, she was careful everywhere and always paid attention. Now that she was nine months pregnant, and her body was heavy, how could she easily leave her own palace and go to the imperial garden? Queen Mother, Qing Xiuyi is very strict with the second prince on weekdays, how could the second prince bump into Mrs. Liu's body? ”

Ye Tingfeng gently closed his eyes and pondered what Zhen Ronghua said.

When the ancestral system of Zigui's mother's death had not been abolished, Mrs. Liu once dropped the fetus in her womb with her own hands. Liu Yan has always been ashamed of this, so he pays attention to the dragon heir in his belly on weekdays.

If nothing else, even the nurse sent it in from her own mother's house, I knew that she would hurt the child in her womb more.

In this case, it was impossible for her to wander around the Imperial Garden with a huge belly.

Qing Xiuyi has great ambitions in her heart, and she is very strict with the discipline of the second prince. At the age of two, he has already learned to memorize four books. On weekdays, the second prince is like a mouse who sees a cat in front of Qing Xiuyi, and it is often when Qing Xiuyi coughs, the second prince has to hide behind the nurse.

How could such a child who obeyed his mother's words run around and bumped into a pregnant concubine?

Mrs. Liu's difficult birth is indeed suspicious.

Opening his eyes, Ye Tingfeng looked at Zhen Ronghua and smiled again, and said, "Zhen Ronghua, this palace will not ask you if there is any evidence in your hand to prove that Mrs. Liu's matter is indeed strange." It is only said that this palace is the princess of Dashun, so she can't be the master of Mrs. Liu. If you really want to avenge Mrs. Liu, you should go to Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Miao. Now the affairs of the harem are taken care of by the two of them, as long as what you say is true, you will definitely give Mrs. Liu justice. ”

Ye Tingfeng didn't want to wade into this muddy water, and the more the harem concubines fought, the more beneficial it would be for Emperor Jianning to stabilize the previous dynasty.

And there is no need for her to be involved, she just needs to protect the prince and let him grow up safely.

"Queen Mother, who is Qing Xiuyi, do you really not know in your heart?" Zhen Ronghua wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a firm tone, "If someone didn't allow her to do this, how dare she?" Even if the concubine has evidence in her hands, in the end, let alone that she can't get back the announcement for Mrs. Liu, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for her to protect herself. ”

As soon as Zhen Ronghua's words were finished, Mrs. Wen's name immediately appeared in Ye Tingfeng's heart.

Mrs. Wen suddenly got so close to Qing Xiuyi, it was impossible not to ask for something. Now that I think about it, it is very likely that Mrs. Wen is going to the four princes.

Qing Xiuyi disrupted Mrs. Wen to hold the prince, so she cooperated with Mrs. Wen to give Mrs. Liu's child to Mrs. Wen.

Left and right, the second prince is young, and naughty is a common thing. If he has done something wrong, he can also use a sentence of childish ignorance to shirk the past.

After Mrs. Wen raised the four princes, the next thing to do was to seek the position of prince.

With a sigh in her heart, she always felt that she had missed something.

"Zhen Ronghua, if you want to say it, then say it happily." Ye Tingfeng's gaze at Zhen Ronghua became fierce, "If you don't want to say it, then walk out of Guan Ju Palace." Today's events are treated as if nothing had happened in this palace. The four princes don't bother you, and they have their own palace to take care of them. ”

Zhen Ronghua looked up at Ye Tingfeng, and stood up with her skirt up. She returned to the small table and took a sip of tea juice, moistened her throat and knelt down in front of Ye Tingfeng again, and said, "Queen Mother, this matter was done by Mrs. Wen, Qing Xiuyi, and Wen Chongyuan. Mrs. Wen has been in the palace for many years and has no children, and what she did was the fourth prince. The relationship between Qing Xiuyi and Mrs. Wen has always been not harmonious, and the reason for the discord is related to the crown prince. ”

Raising her eyes to see that Ye Tingfeng's expression was still pale Then, Zhen Ronghua continued, "Since then, Mrs. Wen has been making things difficult for Qing Xiuyi everywhere, and Qing Xiuyi has done this in order to let Mrs. Wen give her a chance to breathe. And Wen Chongyuan, what he did was to live in Fengyang Palace. As long as Mrs. Liu dies, she will be the highest-ranking concubine in Yijing Palace. Now that the dragon heir in her womb is six months old, as long as she gives birth to a prince, she will have the opportunity to win the position of lady. ”

Ye listened to Feng sighed lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Wen Chongyuan didn't even dare to give birth to the child in her womb when she was still a good person. A few years had passed, and she had locked her eyes on Madame's place.

Moreover, the means are so cold.

"The date is also chosen by them in advance. The emperor was sick with the dragon's body, and the queen was sick in the Qingxin Palace, so she didn't have time to go to Mrs. Liu's palace to take a look. Zhen Ronghua's little face became distorted, and she gritted her teeth and said, "All kinds of calculations are all about putting Mrs. Liu to death." ”

"Isn't Madame Miao ignorant of what they're doing?" Ye Tingfeng raised his eyebrows, "What a great opportunity this is, how could Mrs. Miao let it go?" ”

"Mrs. Miao knows." Zhen Ronghua clenched her hands tightly, and her red and swollen eyes looked at Ye Tingfeng, "Mrs. Miao won't care, is it because Mrs. Wen and the three of them have succeeded in their plan, and it is beneficial and harmless to Mrs. Miao?" ”

"Huh?" Listen to the night maple raised eyebrows.

"Queen Mother, even if the second prince is young and will not be punished for any trouble, if the impression of naughty and uneducated is left in the emperor's heart, it will also have an impact on the second prince in the future." Mrs. Zhen looked at Ye Tingfeng's face and said softly, "Queen Mother, the prince was also on the scene that day......

Listening to Feng's expression at night, he was shocked, and he was empowered!

This is Mrs. Wen, Qing Xiuyi, and Wen Chongyuan's plan to kill multiple birds with one stone. It is not by chance that the prince appeared in the imperial garden, if the prince is not in a hurry to go to the Qingxin Palace, I am afraid that the person who knocked Mrs. Liu to the ground is the prince.

In the realm, Qing Xiuyi would not say to others that the prince was unintentional.

An family is not easy to mess with in the court.

Silver teeth clenched, and hatred rose in Feng's heart at night. She knew that these people would not completely stop, but she didn't want to do a trick on the prince here.

Zhen Ronghua knelt down and climbed two steps forward, stretched out his hand to grab Ye Tingfeng's skirt, gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, concubine, please give Mrs. Liu a chance to avenge her grievances, and concubines please have mercy on the fourth prince who is still in infancy." The concubines also ask you to plan more for your crown prince. ”

With a voice from Mrs. Zhaoyue, it was revealed that Zhen Ronghua knew the identity of Ye Tingfeng. The sentence 'for your prince' makes it clear that Zhen Ronghua knows that the prince is the biological son of Ye Tingfeng.

Ye Tingfeng took a deep breath, looked at Zhen Ronghua who showed determination in his eyes, and sneered, "Zhen Ronghua, after three years, you really impressed this palace." You're here to say this to me, it's not just as simple as seeking justice for Mrs. Liu, right? ”

"The queen mother is very smart, and the concubines don't dare to play tricks in front of the queen mother." Zhen Ronghua let go of Ye Tingfeng's skirt and looked indifferent.

"Then tell me, what do you want?"

Zhen Ronghua is no longer the stubborn Jane Lady from the original. At that time, she was only one person, and she could fight to the death for her parents' revenge.

Now, she has the second princess under her knees, and in order for the second princess to have a good home in the future, Zhen Ronghua can only stand up and fight to trample others under her feet.

What Zhen Yonghua wants is very simple.

One wants four princes.

After Zhen Ronghua gave birth to the second princess, she had a very difficult life in the harem, and even a high-grade palace maid could go to her palace to be powerful.

It was Mrs. Liu who really felt sorry for the second princess and protected their mother and daughter, so that their mother and daughter had a little room to breathe in this cannibalistic harem.

Now that Mrs. Liu has been killed, Zhen Ronghua wants to take the fourth prince to her knees and bring her up with her own hands after she successfully climbs to a high position, like a mother.

After she was defeated, the second princess could be raised in the Guanju Palace like the fourth prince.

Ye Tingfeng married Dayue twice as a princess, one as a concubine, and the other as a queen, and Emperor Jianning's favor for her was beyond anyone's ability.

She only begged that if she lost, Ye Tingfeng could pity the second princess.

Except for these two points, Zhen Ronghua has nothing else to ask for.

"Aren't you going to ask this palace to save your life?" After Zhen Ronghua finished saying the two conditions, Ye Tingfeng asked in surprise.

"What if a concubine saves a life?" Zhen Ronghua said in a soft tone, "If the concubine is really defeated, she will be a sinner if she saves her life." What can a concubine like a concubine bring to the second princess? It's better to die and let the second princess be raised under the queen's knees. The queen mother is kind and generous, and she will not give the second princess a little grievance. ”

After hearing these words, Ye Tingfeng understood why Zhen Ronghua cried repeatedly. She has put life and death aside, and there is only hatred left in her heart.

"What kind of situation have they forced you to over the years......" Ye Tingfeng sighed.

The Zhen Ronghua in front of him, where is the original stubborn Zhen Niang?

Tears slipped down her beautiful eyes, and she looked at the sunset outside with a desolate gaze, "Queen Mother, if there is no Mrs. Liu, the concubine will die many times if she holds the second princess." Now that Mrs. Liu is dead, the concubine will really have no bones left if she doesn't stand up. ”

After Zhen Ronghua left, he listened to Feng and called Wen Qing, Zhiliu, Wen Qing, Yao Yuan, and Xiao Guzi to the outer hall.

It was no accident that the prince appeared in the imperial garden that day, and there was a fine work in the Guan Ju Palace.

Yao Yuan and Zhiliu lowered their heads and meditated for a long time, thinking about all the minions in Guan Ju Palace.

The palace people in the Guan Ju Palace, except for the ones brought by Ye Tingfeng from Dashun, were all selected by Yao Yuan and Zhiliu one by one, and they couldn't think of any of them that would be fine.

But if there is no meticulous work, it is impossible. If there was no meticulous work, how would Mrs. Wen know when the prince would go to the Qingxin Palace to listen to the maple at night, so as to make a trap for Mrs. Liu to die?

After thinking for a long time, Litmus set her eyes on the prince's nurse.

The prince's nurse was specially found by Emperor Jianning after the prince returned to the harem of Dayue.

Because he has been serving the prince wholeheartedly for more than a year, the prince has already had feelings for her, and he has not replaced her after listening to Feng at night.

If you know the details of the prince's whereabouts and work and rest, except for the big palace maid litmus on the side of the prince, there is only the nurse.

With the target of suspicion, things went a lot easier.

After Yao Yuan's many investigations, he finally determined that the prince's nurse, Zhu, was the one who was hidden in Guan Ju Palace.

Before listening to Feng returning to the palace at night, Mrs. Wen was bent on carrying the prince to her palace to raise her, so she gave Zhu a lot of benefits in the open and secret, and asked Zhu to occasionally mention that she was good to the prince by Emperor Jianning's side.

Later, when Ye Tingfeng came back, Zhu became Mrs. Wen's eyeliner.

After Yao Yuan clarified the matter of the investigation, he asked Ye Tingfeng for instructions, "Queen Mother, what should you do now?" Is it to send the Zhu family out? ”

Ye Tingfeng leaned on the low couch, his eyes slightly closed, and his chest fell together, as if he was asleep.

After a long time, Ye Tingfeng opened his eyes slightly, "Keep it first, Mrs. Wen will definitely make another move if she doesn't make a move, instead of sending the Zhu family out to make Mrs. Wen suspicious, it is better to plan and get out of my heart." ”

"Yes, the minions sent people to keep an eye on it, and they will not let the Zhu family hurt His Royal Highness the Prince." Yao Yuan replied respectfully.

"Hurt the prince?" Ye Ting Feng sneered, "No, Mrs. Wen will not let the Zhu family hurt the prince." She has no children under her knees, and now the prince has an accident, and it is Mrs. Miao and Qing Xiuyi who are cheaper......"

Picking up the silver hairpin and lightly picking the incense burner on one side, I heard Feng raise his eyebrows and said, "In ten days, the emperor will go out of the palace to worship the sky...... Since she has the courage to make an idea to Guan Ju Palace, then she must be prepared for death in her heart. ”

In the third year and twenty-fifth year of Emperor Jianning, Wu Fengtian officially entered the office and entered the Jinluan Palace.

Wu Fengtian originally had an idle position, but was later removed because he disappeared for two years.

Emperor Jianning did not first confer the official position of Wu Fengtian with real power, but named him the sacrificial official when he sacrificed to the sky.

The sacrificial official who sacrifices to the heavens has always been served by the national teacher Wu Yang. This year, Wu Yang has not returned from a long trip, and no one has any objections to the appointment of Wu Fengtian as a sacrificial official.

After all, Wu Fengtian is Wu Yang's own brother and a mysterious Wu family.

The sacrificial official is a false position, and he can't even evaluate the official character, but Wu Fengtian began to go to court and stand in the ranks of civil officials.

On March 27, Jianning listened to Feng's 21st birthday.

The queen's birthday, the harem has always been a big celebration.

Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Miao had carefully prepared as early as a month ago and set the venue for the palace banquet in the Luanming Hall of Guanju Palace.

Luanming Hall is a three-storey attic, the first floor covers a wide area for palace banquets, the second floor has a large stage where you can watch the play, and the third floor is the viewing platform.

Because it was March, there was no scenery at night, and the concubines watched the stage play for a long time during the day, and then returned to Luanming Palace to participate in the palace banquet after going back to change their clothes.

On the palace banquet, Ye Tingfeng sat on the main seat in a phoenix robe and accepted the birthday worship of the harem concubines.
