Changsheng's eyes looked at her coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many people outside are starving and freezing now, but you are still worrying about such a trivial matter, it's really boring!" It's ridiculous! ”

His angry and low voice made Zhou Yan'er's heart slightly stunned.

If it were an ordinary woman, I am afraid that my legs would have trembled with fright. She didn't, she looked directly into the prince's eyes, and said quietly: "Your Highness, the concubine is not coming here today to worry about it, but to let His Highness make a promise for the life of the concubine." The crown princess can't tolerate the concubines like this, and now she has to find trouble with the concubines, and the concubines will be struggling in this palace in the future...... Danger ...... every step of the way"

As soon as these words came out, Changsheng got up and shook his sleeves: "You don't want to talk nonsense!" It's just a fuss! ”

Zhou Yan'er's face was straight: "The concubine didn't make a big fuss, it's just that Your Highness, you don't understand anything." ”

The battle between women does not see the smoke of gunpowder, but blood drips everywhere.

When she first met, his seemingly heartfelt words had made her the laughing stock of the capital first, and now she has become a thorn in the side of the crown princess.

All these troubles came because of him, but he refused to favor him at all.

Changsheng looked at her coldly, thinking to himself that if it weren't for the queen mother's intentions, he would definitely not let her enter the palace.

There were too many calculations and thoughts hidden in her dark eyes.

Zhou Yan'er didn't say much, and saluted again: "Your Highness, the concubine has finished saying what she should say, so she will retire." ”

She turned to leave, Changsheng looked at her coldly, and had no intention of retaining.

Xiao Chunzi hung a heart and didn't dare to let it go.

These little masters are not easy to deal with, and if they make trouble in the future, I am afraid that they will inevitably annoy His Highness.

At the same time, Xie Zhenzhen also got the news that Zhou Yan'er did not hesitate to stand outside the Heart Cultivation Hall for two hours, and also wanted to see His Royal Highness the Prince. However, it is said that the prince was in a bad mood, and after seeing her for a while, he brought her back.

Xie Zhenzhen listened to the words of the palace maids and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

I really deserve it, find my own guilt! If she does this, it will only make Her Highness hate her more and more.

The imperial dining room prepared dinner, and Xie Zhenzhen sent someone to the Heart Cultivation Hall to invite His Royal Highness back.

Who knows, the palace maid who was sent out hurried back and said: "Niangniang, Gonggong Chun beside His Royal Highness said that His Royal Highness is still dealing with political affairs, and he will stay in the Heart Cultivation Hall tonight, and no one will be gone." ”

Xie Zhenzhen was still a little complacent, but she disappeared without a trace.

What's going on? Why didn't Your Highness come back for dinner? Don't...... He was really angry with himself because of Zhou Yan'er.

Xie Zhenzhen was slightly apprehensive in her heart, and asked the palace maid to send a few more foods.

At this time, Shen Dan had already accompanied Changsheng to dinner. A very simple meal, a very thick cooked japonica porridge with a few delicate side dishes, light and light.

Shen Dan saw that His Royal Highness was in a bad mood, so he stayed with him quietly.

After dinner, Changsheng spread out his folds and sat in front of the bookcase with a slight distraction, his thick eyebrows frowning.

Shen Dan brought the tea over, and saw that he suddenly got up, turned his hands behind his back, paced around the hall, and walked around, as if he was in a very irritable mood.

Shen Dan looked at him quietly for a while, then bit his lip and stepped forward, stood on his back, and reached out to gently wrap his waist around him.

Changsheng didn't feel the slightest abruptness or disgust.

The two of them waited quietly for a while, and then Shen Dan asked, "Your Highness, don't be unhappy, no matter how difficult things are, they will pass." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Changsheng's mouth hooked slightly, and he sighed softly: "Do you know that there is a disaster in the northwest, and I don't know how many people are starving and waiting to die......

Shen Dan tightened his hands and hugged him tighter.

"There are some things in this world that you can't do with your best efforts. Now that I'm in this position, I know what really "hard" is. ”

Changsheng's tone was melancholy, he would not say these words to others, but only to Shen Dan.

Shen Dan didn't speak, his chin lightly resting on his shoulder.

She couldn't solve any of the things that bothered him. But the only thing she is good at is to accompany him, no matter when and where.

Shen Dan stayed with Changsheng for a night in the Heart Cultivation Palace, accompanied him to see the excerpts, and accompanied him to worry.

Early the next morning, Xie Zhenzhen saw that the prince had not returned overnight, and she was even more concerned.

Mama Chen replied: "Niangniang don't worry, Your Highness has been watching the excerpts last night, and I heard the palace maids say that the Palace of Heart Cultivation is brightly lit all night." ”

Xie Zhenzhen glanced at her when she heard this: "Don't forget, there is also a Shen Dan by the prince's side." ”

He didn't return overnight, and there must be someone around to serve him.

"Niangniang, that Shen Dan is not helpful at all. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince welcomed the three side concubines at once, but he didn't even have a decent name for her. ”

Xie Zhenzhen is not as simple-minded as her, not to mention anything else, just because Shen Dan does not serve him all day long, and the benefits are all right, it is impossible for His Royal Highness not to be attentive to her.

Xie Zhenzhen waited all day with apprehension, and waited until dusk before she could see the prince again.

The expression on Changsheng's face was lukewarm, and when he saw Xie Zhenzhen, he said, "I just went to see the queen mother." ”

Xie Zhenzhen hurriedly said, "How is Niangniang's body?" Do you want the concubine to go over and ask for peace? ”

Today's Cining Palace, but no one can enter.

"The queen mother is not in good health, so it's better for you not to go over."

Changsheng sat down, and Shen Dan behind him also followed.

The expression on Xie Zhenzhen's face was unnatural for a moment, and when she saw the palace maid serving the tea bowl, she sat down quietly.

After Shen Dan stepped forward to test the poison, Changsheng Fang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"I heard that you are going to reduce the amount of money in the palace, it is a good thing to save money, just don't hurt the harmony in the palace."

A faint sentence gently tugged at Xie Zhenzhen's heartstrings.

Xie Zhenzhen couldn't help but stand up and said, "Your Highness, the concubine is a good intention, and she just conforms to the mother's wishes." Xu Yes, Sister Yan'er, she misunderstood......"

Changsheng glanced at her: "They have just entered the palace, and the coming days will be long, you can train slowly, why rush for a while." ”

Xie Zhenzhen was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Obviously, she was ready, but there was still an embarrassment of being poked in front of her.

"Concubine...... I don't want to embarrass anyone, just ......"

Changsheng stretched out a hand and pressed the back of her hand, the force was neither light nor heavy.

"Don't be too anxious. They're under you after all. This sentence seems to be comforting, but it has a different meaning.

Xie Zhenzhen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she nodded and said, "The concubine knows." ”

Seeing her answer like this, Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.

"I'll go to someone else's tonight, and you can rest early."

He said this lightly, and got up and left.

The expression on Xie Zhenzhen's face stiffened slightly, and he knew where he would go without asking.

Did he do it on purpose, or did he really feel sorry for Zhou Yan'er.

Among the three side concubines, only Zhou Yan'er was the first to be favored. This is undoubtedly telling the people in the palace that he loves her.

Although Meng Xilan doesn't go out or see anyone, she is still clear about the things in the palace.

When Changsheng came over, he mentioned this matter to her intentionally or unintentionally, and Meng Xilan just smiled faintly: "It's good that the prince has his own idea." ”

She has already said everything she should have said, and the prince has already had a sense of proportion in his heart.

Changsheng was about to say something more, but saw Jiao Changqing walking in with his head down, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand.

Today, he always guards the Cining Palace and accompanies his mother every day.

Changsheng stared at him: "How is the queen mother's body?" ”

Jiao Changqing said truthfully: "The fetus in Niangniang's womb is the possibility of being born at any time. ”

Changsheng's heart tightened slightly when he heard this, and when he looked up at his mother, she looked calm.

"Mother, you must take care."

Meng Xilan nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, everything is Jiao Changqing." ”

Changsheng's heart sank when he heard this, only to feel that the queen mother trusted Jiao Changqing too much.

After the crown prince left, Jiao Changqing took the lead in speaking: "His Royal Highness seems to be suspicious of Wei Chen. ”

Meng Xilan said lightly: "You are so loyal to this palace, who will understand?" ”

Meng Xilan drank the medicine he sent, then leaned on the bed and stroked her stomach.

In the past few days, she has always felt abdominal pain, and it seems that the days are really near.

Jiao Changqing stretched out his hand, put his fingers lightly on her wrist, was silent for a moment and said, "It may be the past day or two, Niangniang must be ready." ”

Meng Xilan took a deep breath: "This palace understands. ”

In early spring, it was not a rainy day, but this year's rain was abundant.

The weather was cloudy for two days, and then it was followed by heavy rain.

The torrential rain was like a pour, and the lightning and thunder roared, as if the whole sky was going to be torn apart.

Meng Xilan has been suffering from abdominal pain since she got up in the morning.

When Jiao Changqing saw this, he knew that today was the time.

In Cining Palace, everything has already been prepared.

It's only been an hour, and Meng Xilan is almost exhausted by the pain, and she can't even breathe.

Jiao Changqing did not shy away from it, and stayed in the hall, looking at Meng Xilan's bloodless face, his brows condensed.

Back then, when she gave birth to the crown prince, Meng Xilan felt that she was about to die more than once. Now, she felt this cold feeling of despair again.

The sound of thunder and rain outside the window always reminded her to regain consciousness and stay calm.

She couldn't pass out, she had to stay awake.

I don't know how long it took, but my body suddenly felt like someone had torn it apart.

Meng Xilan gritted her teeth and shouted in a low and hoarse voice, and finally heard a baby's faint cry.

Meng Xilan gasped deeply and raised her head, wanting to take a look at her child. Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything, and the bedside was full of people.

Baozhu stepped forward with tears in his eyes, and after glancing at the child, he knelt down and said, "Congratulations to Niangniang, it's a boy......"

And so it was! Secretly, she always thought that this child would be a boy.

Jiao Changqing had already prepared a decoction to replenish qi and blood, and personally helped Meng Xilan up and fed her to drink.

Meng Xilan turned her head slightly, her eyes were dilated, and she commanded Baozhu weakly: "Hurry up and send him away, send him out of the palace, and go to the Meng family......"
