After the long-winded preparations were completed and just about to set off, the Pear Blossom Hall had already quickly passed the news: "The Queen Mother took Aunt Shinu and the Lord of Lizhu County to visit the eldest princess Jingyi in Xiaopenglai, and asked Your Majesty, the crown prince and the queen to take care of themselves." ”

Emperor Yongxi was silent for a while, sighed softly, sat down, and instructed Mao Guo'er: "Bring a little more wine." I'm going to have two more drinks with the queen today. ”

Empress Dowager Shen went to the island, which meant that she finally nodded when she finally married the eldest princess Jingyi in the name of the lord of Peony.

Everyone's worries can be relieved for the time being.

It's just that this also means that the "Eldest Princess Jingyi" will disappear from this world from now on. For Emperor Yongxi, his brother, after all, it is a sad thing. What's more, his son can be regarded as being saved by his poor sister.

"Although your aunt is not very clear, and others may have countless reasons to dislike her and attack her, but you are the only one." Emperor Yongxi stroked the top of his son's head, sighed softly, and raised his glass to sip wine.

Empress Pan accompanied him silently, rarely ate vegetables, and drank a lot.

Nan Meng looked at his parents, who were obviously not in a good mood, and closed his mouth wisely.

"Back then, my father was young and not sensible. When you marry your mother, you don't remember to take care of her. At that time, we lived in the East Palace, and she came and went every day to greet your imperial grandmother, and I never followed it once.

Later, when she was late on her way back, she stumbled and slipped into the pool when she passed by the pool. There was no one around. Your aunt quietly slipped down from Little Penglai to swim in the water, saw that your mother was not in good condition, and saved her.

"Jingyi was only a little over seven years old at the time, and in order to drag your mother who fell into the water to shore, she almost had to swim back with exhaustion. When he returned to the island, he fell ill and fell asleep for three days before waking up. ”

As Emperor Yongxi spoke, his expression was stunned.

Nan Meng subconsciously turned his head to look at Queen Pan. Queen Pan bent the corners of her mouth, put down the cup, and continued softly: "I told you last time that your aunt can't leave Xiao Penglai. So when I returned to the East Palace, I could only say that I had fallen into the water and climbed up by myself.

"At that time, I already had you. It's just because the month is still shallow, so there is no fanfare. In the palace, only your father and I and a few close palace eunuchs know.

"As soon as I fell into the water, the doctor came to get the pulse, and I was terrified, saying that I was afraid that the child would not be saved. At that time, thanks to your imperial grandmother, she came in person and comforted me and said, which of our girls who practice martial arts has never danced with a knife and a gun when he was young? It's just a little overboard, don't take it personally.

"I was originally deeply sorry for Lian Lian Jingyi, and let your imperial grandmother say this, so I relaxed. But even so, that time I fell into the water and hurt my body, and when I gave birth to you, I ......"

When Queen Pan said this, her smile was bitter, and she couldn't speak.

A small cup reached out next to her and touched the rim of the cup in her hand.

Empress Pan was stunned for a moment, looked up, but saw Emperor Yongxi say gently: "Marry me, let you be wronged." ”

At this sentence, Queen Pan's eyes were hot, tears welled up, and she opened her mouth, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound.

Nan Meng's delicate voice rang out: "Although my father is busy with state affairs, he has always been concerned about the queen mother and respects the queen mother very much. Although my mother could no longer give me brothers and sisters, she never spoiled me in every way because of this. It is a great blessing for me to have parents like my father and queen mother. ”

Empress Pan was abruptly reminded by her son's words, raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears, choked up and smiled: "Your Majesty said this kind of thing again." Where did I get my grievances? I fell into the honeypot.

"Not to mention the dignity and dignity of the mother of my country, it is an ordinary family, whose husband can cherish his wife like this? I have it. All the women of the world envy me for having a husband who is as deep as the sea! ”

Emperor Yongxi laughed softly, and in front of Nan Meng, he stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Empress Pan's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "The incident that the queen mother talked about last time, now those scholars outside are also shouting. I'm just afraid that after a while, I'm really going to let you be wronged. ”

It's saying, picking.

Empress Pan lowered her eyes and looked at the wine cup in her hand, smiled, and said softly: "This is the fate of being a queen." As long as I know that His Majesty has me in his heart, I will be content. After all, I still blame myself for being careless......"

"Don't talk about it. I'm going to be even more unhappy. Emperor Yongxi intercepted her and asked her to drink with him.

That night, the emperor and queen were drunk.

……

……

When Empress Dowager Shen and Shen Shen stood in front of Nan Chen together, there were Shinu and Jia Liu standing next to them.

"The mourning family won't let Jia Liu follow you. The mourning family knows that as long as you leave the capital and can't wait for Jia Liu, you will definitely try your best to kill him first. Empress Dowager Shen looked at Nan Chen indifferently,

Nan Chen couldn't help but look at Shen Shen.

Shen Shen also looked at her, his eyes complicated.

"Jia Liu will stay to serve Lizhu, but the other people around you will be the people sent by the mourning family to 'take care' of you, even the guards, and even the palace maids." Empress Dowager Shen said coldly.

Nan Chen bit his lip and didn't say a word.

"The mourners know that you want what you call freedom. The mourners tell you that there is no such possibility. If you obediently become your eldest man in Beidi and behave with your tail between your legs, you will be able to have a normal person for a lifetime.

"But if you want to create some opportunity, flee incognito, or want to reveal your identity and provoke a dispute between Beidi and Great Xia. The mourners can tell you that you can't do it unless you kill all the dowries you followed.

"Naturally, with your ruthlessness, killing all these people is not a problem at all. But the mourning family wants to remind you, if there is no one in Daxia around you, what do you think King Beidi will do to you? The princesses who were close to each other in history were tortured to death, but they abounded! ”

Nan Chen lowered his eyes, but remained silent.

Shen Shen looked at her and knew what she was thinking, sighed softly, and slowly spoke: "It's not so easy to wander the rivers and lakes. You should have heard that I still have a master and brother who will never abandon me, and I used to have only half a nest of food every day for a month.

"You left Xiao Penglai not only to be able to walk freely, but also to be free to enjoy the glory and wealth. What other chance do you have of living a more prosperous life than you have now?

"I know that once you leave the palace, there will be a lot of demagogic voices outside. I just ask you, when you hear these voices, think about what you really want. ”
