Chapter 49: The Prince

After sending Qian Tongsi away, Le Yue glanced outward, and then turned around and entered the hall.

There was a slight crisp sound of beaded curtains in the room.

Concubine Yi was half-paralyzed on the beauty couch, her rouge satin embroidered shoes were kicked to the ground by her, and a pair of snow-white bare feet swayed leisurely, swaying in front of the collapse, as if it was very comfortable.

Those eyes, but they fell into thoughts.

After a few small footsteps, Le Yue's familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"The handmaid is gone?"

"Yes, the slave maid is staring at it with her own eyes, she is indeed going in the direction of Ziwei Pavilion. Thief and thief, Qian Tongsi is a slippery head, if she didn't dare to lie to us, there is no doubt that the ghost must be her!

"Don't startle the snake, just take a look."

Le Yue nodded and looked at her master, her eyes full of doubt.

"Master, how do you know that the money has been deducted from the silver money for repairs? In the Showa Palace, there is nothing inappropriate, if he bites to death and doesn't admit it, won't we slap ourselves in the face? ”

"Humph!"

Concubine Yi sneered and said lightly, "The head of the inner court, this is a fat difference!" Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has already ordered the palace concubines to save money and change the extravagance in the palace. ”

"I guess it's the human heart."

Those clear eyes, suddenly, became extremely thorough, revealing an indescribable calm.

The people around him nodded silently.

"This chess piece, let's keep it first, maybe at the critical moment, it can help me fight against the army...... In addition, you go to check the background of this 'shadow', as well as her real relationship with Concubine Feng, a 'distant relative'? I don't believe this kind of nonsense! ”

"Yes, master."

The bare feet stopped shaking, and when they looked again, the eyebrows of the people on the couch furrowed.

"I always feel that the word 'Feng' seems to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it no matter what......"

Le Yue also bowed her head in thought.

"Oh...... The slave remembered! Isn't the godson of our Han Mansion manager surnamed Feng? Five short figures, walking up and not knowing the corner, rampage, known as 'Feng Crab', when he was a child, he came to the house, and the slave maid saw it once, but he came? ”

Concubine Yi shook her head gloomily.

"I always feel ...... Related to Concubine Feng. ”

"Oh."

The air was silent, and the bare feet on the edge of the couch slowly began to shake again.

Under the corridor outside the Purple Emblem Pavilion.

A figure of a palace man was stepping on a big broken step and hurriedly walked over.

When she walked to the back door of the garden of Ziwei Pavilion, she kept looking left and right, looked cautiously several times, and saw that there was no one around, so she knocked lightly on the door.

As soon as his finger touched the door, it opened.

The maidservant was puzzled, but a hand stretched out from inside, grabbed her, and without saying anything, she suddenly dragged her in.

"Ah......h

She couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

"It's me."

"Hui ...... Sister Hui'er. ”

"No one saw you on the way here, did you?"

Ying'er swallowed a snort, patted her chest with her hand, and was still frightened, "Sister, don't worry, the slave is very careful along the way, and no one will see it." ”

"That's good, the other side has suffered a loss recently, the wind is tight, don't come here if it's okay."

"Sister, that's ......"

In the shade of the back door of the garden, the two bowed their heads and chatted for a while.

"There is such a thing?" After listening to her words, Hui'er's expression became extremely gloomy.

"The slave and maid heard it with their own ears, and they did not dare to hide it."

Hui'er hung her eyes and glanced at her.

"It's hard to be careful for you", she said, she took out a bag of silver nudes from her sleeves, and a friendly smile appeared on her cold face, "Here, this is a reward for silver, the mother is still counting on you to do things, and I said before, in our palace, there is a lack of a big palace maid in charge." ”

When she heard the words "big palace maid", Ying'er's eyes were very excited.

"Yes...... The slave must live up to the mother! ”

"Don't worry, after the Showa Palace suffers, the mother will not live up to you."

As she spoke, she raised her arms and trimmed her sideburns, and the shrimp bracelet on her wrist was shining with gold.

Inside the Fengqi Pavilion.

It's just getting clear.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and the water stains on the yellow leaves shook off the trees one after another, dripping into people's necks, and the palace people couldn't help but snort.

The inner sanctum has been lit with a fireplace.

In the center of the lotus hall, there is a small wooden bed of a hundred children carved with vermilion lacquer and gold, the four sides of the small bed are wrapped with Zhang velvet, the bottom is mainly Shu brocade, layer by layer of mats, and the white fur fox skin is inlaid around with silver needles, which appears soft and warm.

A white-faced baby was asleep.

He breathed evenly, exuding a sweet and greasy milky smell all over his body, perhaps a sweet dream, the corners of his delicate mouth rose leisurely, his chubby little hand was placed in his mouth, and he sucked gently, a little arm like a lotus root, which was very lovable.

Breast milk has just been fed.

After Mingyue coaxed him to sleep, she couldn't help but be more and more happy, and quietly pursed her lips and smiled.

"Our little prince is really getting cuter the longer he grows!"

The queen was nesting on the beauty couch, holding a flower bandage in her left hand, holding a colorful needle and thread in her right hand, and was concentrating on embroidering her small clothes.

"Niangniang......" Mingyue tilted her head suspiciously.

"Huh?"

"The little prince has only been a few months, but you have even finished his five, six, seven or eight years old clothes, no wonder people say, this woman who is a mother, I really can't wait to put my heart and liver on it, hold it in my hand for fear of falling, and hold it in my mouth for fear of melting."

The queen laughed and scolded in a low voice: "You monkey cub, you are getting more and more ground!" When I marry you off one day and give birth to a few little monkey cubs, you will know how powerful this palace is. ”

"Slightly slightly slightly slightly ~~"

Mingyue made a few silent grimaces.

"The love of mother and son is far-reaching. The position of the queen of the mourning family, I don't know how long I can sit, there is still a long way to go, this palace takes advantage of the fact that there is still time now, prepare first, and if there is something good in the future...... Who else but his mother can do this for him? ”

"Phew!"

Mingyue heard her ominous words, so she hurriedly interrupted, "Niangniang is deeply blessed, and now there is a prince to maintain it, who dares to trespass?" ”

Unexpectedly, the queen smiled.

It was a fearless smile, but deep and careful.

"Although there is a child in this palace, the people in the palace are sinister, and it is difficult to guarantee that no matter when and where, you have to plan for the worst."

Mingyue lowered her head and quietly looked at the prince's pink little cheeks.

After a long time, she suddenly pondered:

"That...... Why don't you have another prince? As long as you keep your children by your side since childhood, teach carefully, even if there are any disputes in the future, you will eventually miss the brotherhood and leave a way to live. ”

The hand holding the needle and thread suddenly trembled uncontrollably.

"What's wrong with you, mother?"

The queen bowed her head gloomily and remained silent.

Mingyue was worried, and shook her arm lightly, "Niangniang, you speak, don't scare the slave maid......"

Two lines of clear tears flowed down the pale cheeks.

"The doctor said that my body is no longer suitable for pregnancy."

"What?!"

"This ......" Mingyue heard it, like five thunderbolts, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Tears fell and smashed on the baby's embroidered new clothes, and she reached out and firmly grasped her master's hand, and a cold breath came.

The queen's facial features twisted into a ball, and she tried her best to suppress her crying.

"Only this palace knows, Imperial Doctor Zhou is strict, my mother is kind to his family, he is also towards this palace, except for the three of us, until the critical moment, this news must not be leaked out."

Mingyue had tears in her eyes, and she also lowered her head and said, "The slave understands." ”

Suddenly, the people on the ground raised their heads and looked at their masters in a daze.

"The slave dares to ask, ...... Do you love the emperor? ”

A voice seemed to wander out of the sky, faintly.

"Love? Perhaps...... This palace used to hate him for being indifferent, hating him for being ruthless, and that little bit of hope that still existed once tormented me so much that I couldn't help but die. On that day, when I gave birth, he rushed into the delivery room regardless of etiquette, and the palace was also moved......"

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Mingyue's eyes, as if she was telling or admonishing.

"Don't bury your future for some useless desires."

Mingyue's sleeve secretly clenched her fist.

"Niangniang, you take a sip of ginseng soup."

Under the pretext of serving the teacup, she turned her back, bit her lip tightly, lowered her head, and remained silent.

"How did the matter of Shangguan's strangulation go on?"

A whispered inquiry came from behind.

Such a thing, asked from the queen's mouth at this moment, but it was like a family affair, extremely bland.

Mingyue handed over the teacup and replied, "The thief's methods are very clever, and Mingshan also spent a lot of effort to only find out the cause of her death, and the rest of the things are still being investigated." ”

She took a sip of the ginseng soup and nodded.

"On the day of the birth of the palace, the Shangguan family deliberately leaked the murder of his father and brother at the palace wall, because of this, the palace almost died of palpitations and dystocia, and now the prince was born smoothly, and the palace is also safe, but the Shangguan family was strangled to death for no reason, and the murderer's intentions are obvious."

As he spoke, his tearful eyes were half-squinted at the moment.

It's as if she's never shed a tear.

"Clever means? Hehe......"

There was a hint of cruelty in the queen's eyes, and the corners of her mouth pulled out an eerie sneer.

"...... of Concubine Song"

"Father, Daddy, you wait, Lian'er must avenge you!"

After a long time, the cold and hard voice returned to its usual indifference, and she quietly drank the ginseng soup, her expression was leisurely and soft, and she looked very comfortable.

"Haosheng looked at the mother-in-law who was eating inside and out, don't let her die."

"Yes."

"Yu'er's food and clothing should be checked well......"

"The slave and maid will take good care of the prince, and will never let the prince have another half-point difference."

As he was talking, Mingshan shook off the dust and hurriedly entered the hall.

"Niangniang, the emperor is here."

The queen was startled, hurriedly put down the tea cup in her hand, and stood up to greet her.

"The Emperor's ......"

"The queen is up quickly", before she could bend down, Emperor Yin held her up, "Between you and me, there is no need to be polite." ”

Since the birth of the crown prince, Emperor Yin has been very fond of it, and he has to come to see it from time to time, tease and play when he wakes up, and watch quietly when he is asleep, even if he sits on the edge of the small bed, he is also willing to eat.

The smile on that face really laughed into the bottom of my heart. She knew that he really liked it.

"Xiao Xiazi, bring the newly made pottery in the inner court."

"That guy Qian Tongsi recently made a little wooden horse, I looked interesting, so I sent it to Yu'er to play."

"This year, the Western Regions paid tribute to a piece of ......"

"Oh, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that he was overjoyed, the queen smiled and whispered softly.

"Yu'er is still in swaddling clothes, and she only knows how to drink milk, where can she play so much?"

Being reminded like this, Emperor Yin reacted to himself, touched his head and smiled.

"Yes...... Or the queen is smart! ”

Although he was still a baby, the crown prince was rewarded twice in three days, and even the palace people of the entire Fengqi Pavilion were happy to bloom on their faces, and they were filled with a festive atmosphere every day.

And the other people in the palace also followed suit.

"Look at his little mouth, how well-behaved, he really looks like the queen."

"Really?" The man on the couch was stunned.

"What did you say, Queen?"

Emperor Yin turned his head and looked at the people on the phoenix couch with a smile on his face, and saw that she was embroidering small clothes with needles and threads in person, so he was a little distressed, "These chores are tiring, just leave them to the embroidery girls to do, you have only been giving birth for a few months, you must take good care of your body, and add a few more little princes and princesses to me in the future!" ”

The low-hanging face was suddenly so pale that there was no blood.

But when she spoke, she laughed again.

"Don't say it, the emperor doesn't make enough trouble for me, add a few more, I'm afraid the concubines will be too tired to sleep."

"I know you're tired."

He walked over to her, then stretched out his arms and gently took the man in his arms.

"You don't have to do everything, and you can save some energy."

"Father and mother can't be slapped, but they laugh stupidly."

"Although the concubine married into the royal family, she is no different from ordinary people, the child is heartbroken when she cries, the child is worried if she doesn't sleep, and the child is hungry and busy, how can she not bow to her relatives in everything?"

"The stronger he is, the more sick and free he is, the more pleasing his concubine will be. The emperor waited, and when he reached the age of three or four years old, the minions in the entire palace added up were not enough! ”

"What are you afraid of? Let Qian Tongsi pick another batch of clever minions! ”

For some reason, after all, she still wanted to try again.

The queen's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that your concubine almost died in childbirth? If you hadn't forcibly broken into the palace that day and used your true qi to renew the life of your concubine, I'm afraid the concubine would no longer be here at this moment. ”

For a split second, she felt ...... The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

The smile on Emperor Yin's face instantly stiffened.

"The Shangguan clan has gone, I didn't expect that a little colorful girl would have such jealous thoughts, and now that you are safe, everything is my fault, if you want to blame, blame me!"

"But ......"

"It's not too early, I still have a lot of excerpts that haven't been approved, I'll come to see you another day."

After saying that, he let go of her, suddenly rose to his feet, turned and walked out of the temple gate.

She felt that the filled place in her heart was still empty after all.

"The concubine sends the emperor."

When Mingyue helped her up again, there were already a little tears in her moist eyes.

"I already knew that this was the result, so why bother?"

The queen's eyes were hazy with tears, and she swallowed the last bite of grievance.

"I know the measure, you don't have to worry."

"Even though he tried his best to take care of the palace and love Yu'er, he still ...... Don't love it. ”
