Chapter Seventy-Six: Birth

In early autumn, the dense clouds are like a misty light smoke gauze tent, shrouded in the majestic and magnificent imperial city, the cool breeze blows through every palace in the deep palace, the golden dragon carved on the giant pillar, whirling and coiling lifelike, seems to be waiting to fly in the air, the golden glazed tiles dot the top of the heavy eaves hall, showing the extraordinarily solemn and solemn.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

In the dormitory, the red sandalwood is the top beam, the jade white pearl curtain, the golden gauze tent hanging next to the wooden six-foot-wide cedar bed, the tent is embroidered with the pattern of the dragon, and it is like a soaring dragon under the swaying breeze.

The emperor standing in the dormitory had a radiant face, majestic and majestic, but his face was dark and unclear, and there was an inexplicable melancholy between his eyebrows.

"Hey, two hundred, two hundred, how do you want me to give an account to the people who sacrifice, but if I don't pay tribute to these two hundred, then how can I give an account to the people of the whole city."

"If the capital really wants to come because of this natural disaster, I am only afraid of me, I am sorry for the emperors of the Gao family, and I have no shame to face the ancestors of the Gao family." Immediately, a sigh hung on his lips, ready to move, and his heart was entangled. It turned out that this was all because of the Qingling Lake incident.

"See the Emperor." A man dressed in black with an expressionless face knelt down.

"Pingshen, what has been the prince's movement in the past few days? Can leaving the imperial city provoke right and wrong, and cause more trouble? The emperor asked solemnly, even if the matter of Qingling Lake was haunted in his heart like a nightmare, the prince's movements still had to be known, and as the Son of Heaven, the future prince was the big thing.

"Back to the emperor, the prince has been very stable these days, and he hasn't done anything too much, but..."

"Just what? Don't swallow and spit out, let me guess for a while, and tell me completely. The emperor frowned, and when he heard the words of the crown prince's stability, he felt relieved, and before the smile on his face was revealed, he heard the word 'just'. You know, whenever this word is used on the prince, then things are definitely not that simple.

"Back to the emperor, it was the day before yesterday, that is, the day His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince returned to the palace from the royal hunting ground." The man's voice did not fall, but he was stopped by the emperor's reprimand.

"What's the matter with the third prince? I have commanded that if there is any conflict between these two people, you must tell me as soon as possible. The Emperor said angrily.

"Back to the emperor, the minister didn't dare, because this matter did not involve the conflict between His Royal Highness the Third Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince, and I was afraid that this matter would make the emperor worry after you knew about it, so the minister made his own proposal to tell the emperor about the future and asked the emperor to atone for the sins of the ministers." The man in black pleaded guilty.

"There will be a next time, and I will not spare it." The emperor tactfully shook off the yellow robe, and turned around to face the hollow flower window to show the imperial prestige.

"Yes, thank you for the emperor's grace." The man in black knelt down and thanked him.

"Go on." The emperor was indifferent.

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince returned to the capital from the hunting ground one after another, and encountered an incident in the streets and alleys of the capital. The man was embarrassed, but he insisted on talking.

"Rumors have spread: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is arrogant and unreasonable and instigates and connives, and his subordinates are tyrannical in the capital and are in the limelight, while His Royal Highness the Third Prince is gentle and elegant, intellectual and courteous, and there is a huge gap between the people in the royal family, and even more, it is said that the appointment of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the prince is... Wrong... Yes, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is the best for the prince... Candidate. The man also glanced at the emperor boldly, and the emperor's face became more and more ugly, his eyebrows became more and more solemn, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

This is the Son of Heaven, it is wrong not to tell him to know, how to consider his resignation to satisfy him is the first choice, but the emperor wants the truth, there are good things about the prince before, but who is the emperor? is the Son of Heaven, the father of His Royal Highness the Prince, knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, how can the emperor not know the temperament of His Royal Highness the Prince? Which sentence is a compliment and which sentence is the truth, you will know it as soon as you hear it, therefore, he does not dare to lie, what the emperor wants to hear is the truth, even if it is not what the emperor wants to hear.

"It's extremely hateful, unrepentant things, how many times have I preached the prince, and I am also persuading the prince to live in harmony between brothers in the deep palace, and to value harmony, this is good, even relying on the identity of the prince to dare to be in the limelight among the people, this is not counting but it is still so arrogant in the streets and alleys of the capital, and rotten wood cannot be carved."

"What kind of place is the capital? If he is a tyrant, I will not be at peace under the Nine Springs, if he is a tyrant and is secretly terminated, I am also ashamed, after all, it is my own flesh and blood, and it is the royal dragon. ”

"The crown prince and the three princes were born on the same day and month in the same year, if it weren't for the crown prince first, if it weren't for the birth mother of the three princes from a humble background, I would really have changed the three princes to the prince, but now I can't, change the three princes to the prince, according to the prince's temperament, it will set off a bloody storm in the deep palace, which is not good for the three princes, I am in a dilemma." The emperor also sighed with regret, as soon as these words came out, helplessness, confusion, and entanglement suddenly came to his heart.

In the year of the emperor's establishment, at this time, because of the government and the matter of the prince, the original radiant face sighed and there were some vicissitudes.

"What other rumors are coming together?" The Emperor knew that he did not dare to speak, but he also wanted to hear the truth.

"Back to the emperor, I heard that the sudden rainstorm in Qingling Lake is related to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no pool of water in the streets and alleys of the capital, but the water in Qingling Lake is rising, therefore, it is rumored that His Royal Highness the Prince's return to the palace angered the Dragon King who gave rain, because the disaster of His Royal Highness the Prince three hundred years ago was about to befall the whole city." The man said with a shudder.

"This, this Qingling Lake, Qingling Lake." Suddenly, the emperor's eyes widened, the depths of his eyes became a little heavier, his voice trembled a little, and then he looked thoughtful again, but he didn't come up with any good ideas.

"There's one more thing... Confession. The man in black cowered.

"If you have something, just say it." The emperor said dejectedly, there are still things that have not been said, it is better to say them together and bear it.

"Back to the emperor, tomorrow is the birthday of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, this birthday banquet..."The man in black paused and said.

The emperor was also stunned, and then stunned for a moment, yes, tomorrow, it is the birthday of Cheng'er and Heng'er, immersed in the government and politics all day long, but he didn't even pay attention to the birthdays of the two emperors and forgot everything, thinking of this, I felt ashamed.

"Yes, the crown prince and the third prince were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, this birthday banquet is a big one for ordinary people, and they can drink and talk about it..."

But the royal family can't, since the three princes recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors, the two have never been harmonious in the deep palace, and they can't get along well.

"When I choose two birthday gifts to send to the dormitory of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and then pass on my message, I will say that this birthday will be simply passed in the bedrooms, so there is no need to make a big deal, and the reason is that the matter of Qingling Lake has not yet been resolved, the whole city is in a predicament, and banquets in the deep palace are taboo." The emperor thought again and again, and said with relief.

"Yes, the minister obeys the holy commandment." The man said resolutely, with the momentum of seeing death as home.

It's no wonder that he is embarrassed, His Royal Highness the Three Princes is fine, kind and elegant, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince makes him a little frightened and uneasy.

The emperor walked from the window lattice to the table and carefully selected two beautiful paintings, spread out on the table, the beautiful landscape of the landscape, immediately appeared in front of him, remember not long ago, Cheng'er and Heng'er were very happy about it, and couldn't put it down, so they reprimanded them less, fortunately, the two of them did not love the same picture, at this time, he could take it out as a birthday gift for Cheng'er and Heng'er, otherwise, he really had nothing to do.

The East Palace, the most dangerous palace in the deep palace, is also the realm that the princes yearn for, not how luxurious it is compared to other palaces, but the name of the prince, and the position of the prince is enviable.

However, life is fate, although this prince is only the second prince, but he is the real chosen son, the eldest prince has a thin life, died young, the emperor is grief-stricken, fortunately there are two princes. Therefore, the second prince became the crown prince.

The prince's palace, the plaque in front of the carved decoration of the word "East Palace", the vermilion doorpost, the dragon's totem carved on the sandalwood cornice, want to fly up in the air, the red wall glazed tile roof, carved beams and paintings and majestic magnificent, under the smoke and clouds, it really makes people derive awe.

Walk over the long steps, along the paved ground of blue bricks or bluestone slabs, pass by the solemn and chic hall, and pass all the way to the dormitory.

"Minions, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Spread the word of the saint: because of the incident of Qingling Lake, the people of the whole city are in a predicament, the forbidden banquet in the palace, the birthday banquet is canceled, and you can simply celebrate your birthday in the palace."

"This is a birthday gift specially chosen by the emperor." An official eunuch said respectfully, but deep in his heart he was trembling and frightened, as if he was on the edge of an abyss. Immediately took out a birthday gift, which was a beautiful picture, only this one, from a famous family, can be called extinct.

"I see." The prince also said indifferently.

"Eh, who is this picture for?" The prince was also quick to step forward to get the birthday gift for the third prince, but was stopped by the man in black.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be impulsive, this picture scroll is the birthday gift of the Holy Lord to the three princes, if there is any mistake in this painting, the slave is not easy to explain and can't afford it, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will understand the situation of the slave." The man also blocked with both hands, and one sideways leaned over to protect the scroll tightly.

"I'm just looking, and you don't say that I'll know it's for that person. Anyway, I've been tired of seeing that picture for a long time. His Royal Highness is not uncommon. The prince glanced at the minion.

"The minions are gone." This is the best, otherwise, I really can't explain to the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and I will also suffer, right now, going is the best policy, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will regret it.
