Chapter 397: Waiting for the Opportunity (1)
The night breeze rose, the garden was silent, and the queen went out of the Sacred Heart Palace, step by step back to the Yuanhe Palace, and the palace attendants followed from a distance. Mama Tan was afraid that she would be tired, so she persuaded: "Niangniang, let's get on the sedan chair." ”
"Hongu wants to take a walk." Although she has been pregnant for nearly five months, Queen Wang's belly looks like six months. But after the imperial doctor saw it, they all said that the queen's body was normal. But her hair is falling out worse day by day. No matter how much she tonic, it was useless, she couldn't help but look forward to giving birth to this child as soon as possible, otherwise, her head full of green silk would really fall off.
When Mama Tan heard this, she just stepped forward and held Queen Wang steadily, and said, "Niangniang, slow down." ”
Queen Wang glanced at the sky irritably, stroked her bulging abdomen, and said: "The monarch only has the emperor in the belly of the palace in his eyes, and he ignores the body of the palace. Bengong said that he was not happy, so he only told the imperial doctor to pay more attention to it, so as not to damage the child in his womb. ”
Mama Tan was also a little worried about the queen in her heart, but when she thought that the prince had been worried about state affairs recently, she said: "The prince has lost a lot of temper for the prince's affairs, and those officials don't know what happened, so they insisted on biting this matter, and they had to ask the prince to give an explanation to the people of the world." Presumably, the king is also worried about this. ”
Queen Wang also had a cold face and said, "Those officials and imperial histories are like mad dogs, what do you want the prince to explain to them?" Could it be that thunder and rain are my son's final say? Why is it so insincere? ”
"Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the biological son of the queen's mother, so he naturally sincerely prays for his mother's blessings. It's strange to say, that thunder didn't know what was going on, but it was split in the Buddhist hall where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was. ”
"Hmph, those foolish people really haven't seen much of the world, but a thunderbolt can make them preach to this point!"
There are some things that the queen said, she can't say, so she can only say: "When the Buddha bathing festival is a lot of people in Japan, it will be spread by falsehood, and it will naturally spread quickly." ”
Queen Wang had already asked about the events of the day, and she also knew what happened on the way to Chongyuan Temple for the prince, so she thought about it and said: "There are also those who make trouble, they themselves caused their lives. It's good that they didn't blame them for running into the prince, these people actually blame the prince for leaving the people first! Outrageous! Even if the prince cares for the people, he can't have them for the people! ”
Mama Tan said: "The old slave heard some people say that those imperial histories say that as a prince, you should be righteous and loving to the world, and you can become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future." ”
Speaking of this, Mama Tan subconsciously stopped, and Queen Wang couldn't help frowning.
Thinking of the previous "celestial" statement, Queen Wang can't help but be a little difficult even if she is the prince's biological mother, they are all her sons, one is the prince, and the other is an extraordinary person ordained by God, who is more suitable to be the future king?
Back in the Yuanhe Palace, the crown prince Beishan Xun was still waiting in the hall, and when he saw her coming back, he immediately stepped forward: "Queen Mother? Where have you been, Erchen has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Queen Wang was surprised: "It's so late, why hasn't the emperor returned to the East Palace?" ”
Beishan Xun subconsciously glanced at Queen Wang's belly, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "How is the queen mother's health?" Is it getting better? ”
Queen Wang waved her hand tiredly and said, "Don't talk about the queen mother, the queen mother hasn't asked you yet, what is the matter with the child in the crown princess's womb?" You didn't know she was pregnant? How careless! ”
It's okay not to mention this matter, as soon as the Yue family is mentioned, Beishan Xun is full of anger. He was still young and had not yet begun to pay attention to the matter of his heirs, so what he was concerned about from the beginning was the disadvantages brought to him by Yue's miscarriage. "That stupid woman, she deliberately kept it a secret when she was pregnant, for fear that Yun'er would steal her limelight, so she had to go to Chongyuan Temple with her, if it weren't for her, Erchen wouldn't have been said to be retribution by those foolish people!"
Although he didn't know the twists and turns in Yue's heart, Cui Yun couldn't understand it very well, as long as he gave a little hint, Beishan Xun would naturally understand how to give Yue's a good face.
Wang: "This Yue clan is too incomprehensible!" The queen was also a little displeased when she heard this, and complained. But she thought about it, it was normal for the Yue family to be afraid that the concubine would take away her favor, and she was not just as worried that those young and beautiful girls would take away the heart of the king, and it was as simple as losing an heir for the position of the queen back then.
So she said again: "But this is already the case, you don't have to be too harsh on her, after all, she is General Yue's daughter." ”
Beishan Shun heard her mention General Yue, and he also fell silent. Indeed, as long as the Yue clan is there, General Yue is his solid backing. "Yes, Erchen understands."
When the queen saw that he had figured it out, she asked about the matter and said, "Do you have a charter for yesterday's incident?" How to deal with it? When the queen mother went to the Sacred Heart Temple, she saw that the faces of her fathers were very unsightly. ”
Beishan Xun frowned: "My son hasn't thought of an idea yet, I don't know what to do with it, people's words are terrifying, the mouth of the world is leisurely, how can it be blocked so easily." ”
The queen looked at him, and who knew him better than she knew the flesh that had fallen from her own body. The crown prince did not inherit the wisdom and strategy of the king, and even compared with the indecisive fourth child, he was more straightforward. "It's a pity that your third sister is not in Kyoto at this time, otherwise, she will definitely be able to help you think of ideas."
Beishan Xunping Su also trusted the third princess very much, and when he heard this, he couldn't help touching the green jade Si Nanpei on his waist, and sighed: "Third sister, she went to Black Stone Island to collect stones, and I don't know when she will come back." ”
The mother and son were speechless for a long time, Queen Wang showed a tired look, and Beishan Xun saw that the queen mother didn't have any ideas, so he said: "The queen mother rests early, and the son will go back to the East Palace first." ”
Distraught when he returned to the East Palace, the maidservant beside the Yue family, Cai Apple, was waiting for him there. Beishan Shun couldn't help frowning when he saw her: "What's the matter?" ”
Cai Ping felt aggrieved for his master, but he didn't dare to show a little bit on his face, and bowed down and replied: "The crown princess just had a miscarriage, and that day she was frightened by the wind...... Your Highness, go and see the Crown Princess. ”
Beishan Xun's heart has not yet been resolved, where is he in the mood to comfort the Yue family, just wanted to get angry, and thought of the queen's words, so he said according to his temperament: "Since she is asleep, you will wait for your life according to the words of the imperial doctor." I'm tired of being alone, so I'll see her tomorrow. ”
Seeing that he seemed to be holding back and not having a seizure, Cai Ping didn't dare to say much, so he had to retreat.
Beishan Xun raised his head, glanced at the floating gray clouds in the dark sky, and instructed the attendants around him: "Go to Zhanghua Palace." ”
……
The spring is cold, the bright moon is veiled, and the stars in the sky take the opportunity to bloom with glow.
Cui Yun was dressed in a soft old plain dress, loosely holding the green silk, sitting in front of the desk and copying the "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra".
Beishan Xun entered the Zhanghua Palace, saw the figure of the woman reflected by the candlelight on the window, remembered the sentence "the flower shadow overlaps the window", and couldn't help but relax slightly, raised his hand to stop the palace attendant's report, and quietly entered the house.
The woman in front of the case was concentrating on writing, which was completely different from the appearance she saw on the Shangyuan Festival that day, and he never thought that the little rabbit on the edge of the side was actually the second side concubine that the queen mother chose for her.
He was overjoyed and felt that he had retrieved a lost treasure. He couldn't refuse the help that Queen Wang had chosen for him, but he was still young after all, and he was even more pleased to be able to get to know and support the woman he loved.
Cui Yun felt the candle flame on the desk flickering, looked up at the door, and was startled, and quickly got up and saluted: "Your Highness, why don't you speak when you come?" ”
Kitayama Shun saw that he especially liked to see her flustered appearance, so he reached out and stroked the broken hair on her forehead, as if to soothe a frightened rabbit, and asked, "What are you writing?" ”
Cui Yun blushed from his movements, turned sideways slightly and avoided shyly, and said: "It's the "Dizang Bodhisattva Original Wish Sutra", and the concubine wants to copy some of the children lost for the crown princess. ”
Beishan Xun said movingly: "You have a heart." ”
Cui Yun said: "It's nothing, it's sad that it's the crown princess." The concubine body is just doing what she can. She helped Beishan Xun to sit down, instructed Yushuang to ask someone to set the meal, and said, "Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, right?" The concubine prepared a few side dishes, and His Highness used some. ”
Even Queen Wang didn't ask him if he had eaten, Beishan Xun saw that she was so caring, and he felt moved: "Yun'er, you are still the most considerate to Lone." ”
Cui Yun glanced at him with disgust and said, "Your Highness, don't say that, if you talk about the people who care about Your Highness, Yun'er is afraid that she will not be able to come forward." She glanced at Beishan Xun's face and said, "I heard that the crown princess has His Royal Highness the crown prince in her sleep, so it can be seen that His Royal Highness is engraved in her bones." ”
Beishan Xun heard her mention Yue's family, and his face was a little unsightly. Cui Yun was not afraid that he would be angry, and said, "It's a coincidence. We didn't know that the crown princess was pregnant, but now that we think about it, it was also in time for Rainbow to appear. ”
Beishan Xun paused the ivory in his hand and looked up at Cui Yun.
Cui Yun showed a panicked look, hurriedly put down his chopsticks and knelt down in front of him, and pleaded: "Your Highness, forgive me, the concubine has lost her words." If this is known by the queen's mother, she will definitely be unhappy. ”
Kitayama Shun showed a thoughtful look, helped her up and said, "What you said reminded me. ”
Cui Yun's eyes flashed with a different color, and he pursed his lips slightly.
If she wants to have a foothold next to the crown prince, she must move to the crown princess first, otherwise, it is not her character to always let someone press on top of her head. Among the things that the third princess promised her was this one. Therefore, after the prince's accident, Yan Hong asked someone to send her a message and tell her what to do.
"What does Your Highness mean by that?"
Kitayama slowly raised his eyes, and the words slowly spat out from his mouth. It's like asking Cui Yun, and it's like saying to yourself: "Does the Yue family think so too?" ”
