Chapter XII

Li Zhen'er has been in the palace for almost a month and has not seen the emperor's face, seeing that Cui Guiren and Xu Guiren who are with her have already served and sealed the nobles, she is still a small servant.

After not being called to bed for a month, the palace people in her palace began to be restless. They talked about her master behind her back, and from time to time they said some secret words to ridicule her.

Li Zhen'er was originally a quiet person who didn't talk much, and she was even more depressed and sad when she was treated like this by the palace people. She doesn't even dare to go out of the house now, except for her personal palace maid, she doesn't want to see anyone, she is afraid that everyone will talk about her.

……

Shen Xuanxin had just gotten down the court, and was walking towards the Heart Cultivation Palace: "Li Dezhong seems to have a show girl who has not slept yet, right?"

Oh, the emperor, he finally remembered this stubble, the show girl was put on hold for a month and didn't see the emperor ask, and no one cared. The emperor asked so suddenly, he was going to be lucky.

Li Dezhong replied truthfully: "There is one back to the emperor."

Shen Xuanxin walked without saying a word, and it was not until he walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall that he instructed Li Dezhong to arrange for the show girl to sleep at night.

The news that Li Zhen'er was going to sleep spread in the harem, and Li Zhen'er finally showed a smiling face, and the emperor finally remembered her.

……

Concubine Yonghe is playing shuttlecock with Princess An Ning, who is the eldest princess and she is eight years old. Concubine Shu gave birth to a child of Princess An Ning, and she was very fond of Princess An Ning on weekdays.

When Concubine Shu was tired of kicking, she gave the shuttlecock to the palace maid, and she wiped the sweat on her face with a handkerchief: "Alas, after kicking for a while, I feel sweaty and uncomfortable."

Xin'er took Concubine Shu's arm and walked to the main hall: "I'll let someone prepare water for a while to bathe."

Concubine Shu saw that she was playing happily and peacefully, and she smiled and said, "Okay."

Xin'er came back from outside just now, and she told Concubine Shu what she heard: "Niangniang, the emperor asked Li Zhen'er to sleep at night."

It's been a month, and I can't say that I can't go to bed anymore, and Li Zhen'er will definitely go to bed when she enters the palace without illness or disaster, it's just a matter of time or time.

"Where's the Queen?"

"I heard that the homework left by the Taifu was not completed by the third prince yesterday, and he was criticized by the Taifu today. Just now, the emperor went to Kunning Palace, I don't know if he went to find the queen for the matter of the three princes. ”

Concubine Shu felt funny when she thought of the queen's actions, and the third prince was the same age as An Ning. The queen has forced the three princes to read and write since she was a child, and it is clear that the three princes are not the kind of talented and intelligent princes, but they were born with the title of talented and intelligent by the queen.

It's good now, Taifu is very strict with the three princes. He also assigned more homework to the third prince than other princes, and now it's okay, the third prince can't finish it at all and will be criticized by the Taifu. blindly wants to show the cleverness of the three princes in front of the emperor, now it depends on how the queen ends.

Shen Xuanxin sat on the soft couch in the queen's palace and looked at his wife, who had been married to him since she was fifteen years old for fourteen years. At the beginning, the third prince was raised under the name of the queen because the queen was too sad to lose her child, and now Shen Xuanxin regrets it.

He shouldn't give the third prince to the queen to raise, he knows the queen's thoughts. She didn't have children of her own, so she pinned all her hopes on the three princes. At the beginning, the Zhao family had not yet grown, and he was willing to let the queen raise the three princes, but now the Zhao family thinks that there is a queen in the palace, so there is no taboo and it is becoming more and more rampant.

He must take the opportunity to get rid of the Zhao family, and he will also change the place for the third prince, and the queen should let go of his thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"The third prince has not been good at school recently, can the queen know?"

The queen looked ashamed: "The emperor forgave the sins and concubines for not taking care of the three princes."

"The queen is tired of managing the six palaces, so the three princes will move to Yongshou Palace in the future."

This sentence hit the queen hard, and her only hope was to be pulled out by the emperor. The queen was teary-eyed: "Please give the concubine another chance, the concubine must take good control of the three princes."

"The third prince is in Yongshou Palace, and the queen mother looks at me, and I am more relieved."

Does the emperor mean to be disappointed in her, she is his wife, because the third prince is not good at his studies, he will erase all her previous efforts, and the emperor is too ruthless. The queen is unwilling to let all her efforts over the years go down the drain, and she still wants to fight for it again.

The queen cried and complained to Shen Xuanxin: "The emperor's concubines and the three princes have been together for many years, and they have been in a deep relationship between mother and son."

"The queen must know that the third prince is just fostered by you."

Shen Xuanxin's words took back all the queen's next words of intercession, and he had already decided that it was useless for her to say anything.

The queen was wilted as if she had lost her soul, and Shen Xuanxin didn't bother to look at her and left. If you want to blame the Zhao family, you can only blame the Zhao family for being too rampant, which emperor would like his courtiers to be too powerful. The tree is talking about the Zhao family.

The third prince knelt in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time after knowing this, and then the emperor let him in and didn't know what to say to him, so he didn't kneel anymore. That's it.

……

Yesterday, she was reprimanded by the emperor and took away the custody of the three princes, and the queen's state today is not very good. She didn't even have the mind to see the concubines of the palaces, and it was rumored early in the morning that she was not feeling well, so that the masters of the palaces did not have to go to Kunning Palace to ask for peace.

This is undoubtedly not big news, and the last time I was not allowed to ask for peace was last year. Cui Jinxi didn't need to ask for peace and slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, the meal sent by the imperial dining room was already cold, and she didn't have a small kitchen here and couldn't cook it herself, so she could only go to the imperial dining room to get something else to eat.

Tingxue took some pastries and a bowl of porridge that had just been made in the imperial dining room, and Cui Jinxi sat there lazily eating. Her hands are already in good condition, and she doesn't need An Chun to help Bucai. The pastries in the palace are very exquisite, and the purple potatoes taste like red beans, which is different from what she eats outside the palace.

After An Chun glanced at Cui Jinxi, he told the queen about it, Cui Jinxi didn't go out yesterday and slept early at night, she didn't know: "Master, yesterday the emperor took the right to support the three princes."

It's a big deal that the queen doesn't have a prince under her knees, why did the emperor suddenly do this: "The reason?"

"The queen's neglect to discipline the third prince caused him to be poor in his studies. This is just on the surface, I heard that there were people in the previous dynasty who participated in the Zhao family, saying that they were arrogant and domineering in Shangjing. ”

In recent years, the Zhao family's power has indeed been great, and Cui Jinxi has also heard her father Cui Yi say it. No wonder the emperor wants to take away the right to support the three princes, even if it is not because of this matter, the emperor will find other reasons to let the three princes live in Yongshou Palace.

The emperor has always liked centralization, and Shen Xuanxin, as a clear-minded king, must know that he can also play a role in killing chickens and monkeys.

This queen is estimated to not be able to give birth to a prince when she is old, and she will guard against her even if she wants to give birth to the emperor.
