In the winter of the twelfth year of Hongfu, the crown prince already had the power to appoint generals independently.

Therefore, Feng Weng soon rushed to Fuzhou after being officially ordained, and the execution of the king of Linzi finally came to fruition.

In the end, it was the advice of the prince who ruled out the officials, he left the king of Linzi a life, but he was a crime, but he did not take his surname, and was imprisoned in the high wall of Fengyang for life, but his only son, because he was young and did not be involved in the crime, was pardoned and handed over to the fourth prince Ning Wang to raise, and the jade genealogy was still recorded as a concubine, so he should not be made the son of Ning Wang.

The crown prince was able to make such a decision, and he completely let go of the emperor's intentions, leaving the military and political power alone.

Only ordered the prince's biological mother to be promoted to the imperial concubine, which is like a signal, after his dragon royal funeral of the crown prince to inherit the unification, the prince's biological mother can be the queen mother, so that the prince has to have a debate with the officials of the Ministry of Rites about the ancestral ceremony, so that the biological mother can enjoy the respect of the queen mother.

This year, because many officials were implicated in the Gushui reversal case, the dismissal of the beheaded, there were many vacancies in the court and local official positions, Zhen Huaiyong was able to be transferred from the outside to the capital, this day Xiao Jiang was invited by her cousin Jiang Cairen to visit the Qin Palace, she looked at her cousin's bulging abdomen, smiled and congratulated, and wanted to be more intimate with the palm of her hand and the child in her cousin's womb "Say hello", but Jiang Cairen quietly avoided it.

What she stuffed in her "belly" was an embroidered pillow, which was just a matter of fooling people's eyes, but she couldn't trick her cousin, who had childbirth experience, into touching it with the palm of her hand.

Sisters who haven't seen each other for many years, when talking about those old things, Xiao Jiang sighed even more: "If it wasn't for Sister A's good relationship back then, now I'm scared, but now I can't repay Sister A's kindness, and I can't even persuade my uncle to be considerate of Sister A." ”

"Am I scared?" Jiang Wanxi smiled, she was holding the stove in her hand, her fingertips were playing with the red nao on the top of the stove, one elbow, and the few cases in front of her were leaning on the ground: "Your Royal Highness treats me kindly, and the princess has never been jealous of her temperament, it is the water reversal case that happened earlier, which really made His Highness very worried for a while, for fear that the emperor and the prince would misunderstand His Royal Highness is also involved, but I have never worried about the sky, this life and death are rich and noble, originally from the sky, I am willing to accompany Your Highness when it comes to that step, over the years, I have been deeply favored by His Royal Highness, Live more comfortably than many women, what is not to be lacking? ”

"Sister was ...... It was indeed the first thing that moved His Highness

Meaning? This is a question in Xiao Jiang's heart.

"It's not emotional, but His Royal Highness admires me very much, I can see from his eyes, unlike Cousin Zhen, who is just perfunctory to me, and he doesn't seem to be satisfied with my fiancée, why should I be disgusted? So that marriage, which should have been a sister's marriage, doesn't need to thank me for making it happen. Jiang Wanxi's fingertips finally quieted down on the red nao on the top of the hand stove, and the smile deepened: "As for Daddy, he is such an old-fashioned and stubborn temperament, in his opinion, etiquette and law are more important than everything, and he doesn't care whether his children's life is fortunate or unfortunate, people have a fate, parents and children are no exception, maybe this is the fate between me and Daddy, since I am no longer a Zhenmen girl, I am married to my husband, and there is nothing wrong with Daddy being at peace." ”

"Listening to Sister A's words, it seems that His Royal Highness is safe and no longer afraid of the prince?" Xiao Jiang never asked about the court, and she only asked out of concern for her cousin.

"The prince has no suspicion of His Royal Highness at all, it is a coaxing word, after all, Zheng Xiu once helped His Royal Highness to compete for the crown prince, but it was because of the rebellion of the water, the emperor has already damaged the eldest son, and intends to protect His Royal Highness, if the prince gains an inch, I am afraid that it will also anger the emperor, the prince is already in control, and he must be more cautious at this time."

"But the emperor ......"

"The emperor will take the first step, and there is no way to protect His Highness all the time." Jiang Wanxi said something for her cousin that she didn't dare to say directly, and her fingertips twitched Hongao again: "So I have one thing, I want to ask my cousin." ”

"Sister, but it doesn't hurt to say."

"Zhao Duyu of the Imperial Court, not only for the prince's close ministers, but also for the emperor for the prince in the future to choose the first auxiliary candidate, Zhao Duyu's advice, the prince can still listen to the ear, but His Royal Highness is now in such a situation, it is inconvenient to get close to the courtiers, and the princess has not been good at socializing, what about me, pregnant is even more inconvenient to interact with Mrs. Gu, I also heard Mrs. Gu mention Sister a while ago, saying that Jiangnan and Sister had a very happy conversation, so please ask Sister to communicate with Mrs. Gu more, and it is best to use Mrs. Gu's affection, I can walk around with Mrs. Yi and the crown princess of the Jin State Mansion, and it will be convenient for me in the future, so I can use my sister to match with Mrs. Yi and other people, and slowly dispel the prince's suspicion of the Qin Palace. ”

Xiao Jiang's originally felt that he owed his cousin's kindness, so naturally he would not refuse this idea, and besides, the Zhen family was not without movement with the Taishi Mansion in the past, and her mother-in-law also mentioned that she had to be even more friendly with the Taishi Mansion now, so Xiao Jiang's family

On this day, he handed over a post to Chungui, saying that he had brought back a lot of Tuyi from Jiangnan, and he had entered a meager heart.

Xiao Jiang would not be busy pleading with the Qin Palace, but of course Chungui also thought of her intention.

It's just that it hasn't been broken.

Not long before the New Year, the market is no longer subject to the national funeral restrictions, the people and merchants can put up colorful flags, the official palace should be cautious, but the banquet is no longer restricted, but the Taishi Mansion is still quiet, in addition to the ancestors even the family banquet is not set up, so Xiao Jiang can not take advantage of the origin of the Spring Festival to come to the Taishi Mansion to congratulate, only after the Lantern Festival, try to invite the spring to return to the Buddhist temple to pray for blessings.

I also wanted to find out that although the Ding family was in harmony with the big return, he often had dealings with the spring return, and the little Jiang family gradually moved around with the Ding family.

In the blink of an eye, it was March of another year, and even the Taishi Mansion had lifted the constraints of the mourning system, and Xiao Jiang's family finally had the opportunity to set up a banquet to invite the spring return.

Once Mrs. Yi invited Chungui, Shu Niangzi and others to gather, Chungui also invited Xiao Jiang to go with her.

On this day, Mrs. Yi quietly avoided talking to Chungui: "The emperor's heart disease is getting more and more serious, and I don't know how long it can last. ”

glanced at Xiao Jiang from afar, and Mrs. Yi's voice was lowered: "The Zhen family can't be in the same league with those with ill intentions, just I watch, Jiang Niangzi's mind is not witty enough, she is Jiang Cairen's cousin, but the city government is less than three points of Jiang Cairen, and she is too easy to be instigated by Jiang Cairen." ”

At this time, there was nothing to hide from Mrs. Yi, and there was a whisper in her ear.

Mrs. Yi suddenly looked like she had seen a ghost, and she stared at Chungui for a long time and was speechless.

Chun Gui bowed: "Concubine Zheng Guifei is about to give birth, I guess King Qin won't be able to hold it for long, let's see how he plans the layout." ”

And on this day, Gu's father finally arranged all the trivial things in Fenyang, and led his heir Hua Reign and two righteous sons back to the capital, but he did not predict the return of Lan Ting and Chun Hui, so he did not invite his daughter and son-in-law to meet at home until the next day.

Since then, Gu's father has made it easy for him to settle down in the capital, and the news has not even spread.
