Sometimes, there are words that don't have to be spoken.

Xie Mingxi looked at Sheng Hong quietly for a long time before he said softly: "Sheng Hong, have you really thought it through?" ”

I don't want you to regret the decision you made today for years to come.

Sheng Hong raised his eyebrows and smiled freely: "It's lucky to live one more life." Meeting you is the luck of my life. God has treated me so kindly, and I have no regrets. ”

"I don't want to compete for the position of prince, but I also have to protect myself."

At this point, Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong coincide: "You are right. No matter when and where, you must have the power to protect yourself. ”

Taking a step back does not mean being rubbed by others.

Even if he is a vassal king in the future, he will also have to manage the power of the court in the palace. Otherwise, it is not at ease, but "artificial chopping board, I am fish and meat".

Sheng Hong's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "After the New Year, several imperial brothers will listen to the government and take errands. I'll have to stay at Shochiku Academy for another year. ”

In the words, there is a bit of regret.

It's always one step slower than the three princes and the others.

Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "The princes are all young, even if they are in the court, they only listen to the government, and they have no qualifications to discuss matters at all." You don't have to be in a hurry, you can read with peace of mind. ”

After a pause, he said: "As I expected, the third prince and the fourth prince will get married soon." ”

After the New Year, the three princes and the four princes were all seventeen years old, and they had also reached the age of marriage.

Xiao Yuhan and Li Xiangru still have a year left to graduate from Lianchi Academy. However, in the face of such a major event as marrying into the royal family, studies are insignificant.

……

Xie Mingxi was not wrong.

On the first day of the new year, everyone ordered to enter the palace to meet the queen, and the concubines in the palace also entered the Jiaofang Hall one by one to ask for peace.

The elegant and gentle concubine mentioned the wedding of the three princes with a smile: "...... The third prince is seventeen years old, which is the age of marriage. I implore the queen to handle the family affairs for the third prince as soon as possible, and when the bride enters the door, she will get pregnant and give birth to a child as soon as possible to open up the branches and leaves of the heavenly family, and the concubines will have nothing to worry about. ”

Concubine Li also echoed respectfully: "What Sister Shufei said is also what the concubine thinks. The concubines are also looking forward to the early marriage of the four princes! ”

The third prince and the fourth prince are the same age, and there is only a two-month difference. It's also appropriate to get married together this year.

Empress Yu didn't answer in one mouth, and said with a smile: "For such a happy event, the palace has to discuss with the emperor before making a decision." ”

Concubine Jing's heart moved. After thinking about it, the fifth prince is one year younger, so he has to wait for the third prince and the fourth prince to get his turn after the wedding. I just didn't open my mouth.

Concubine Duan was sent down once and lost her favor, but now she is more honest and peaceful, and she smiled and flattered when she heard the words: "The Queen Mother has been sick, if you hear the good news that the third prince and the fourth prince are about to get married, maybe it will be good to rush to the sick." ”

Speaking of Empress Dowager Li, Empress Yu sighed lightly: "The palace also hopes that the queen mother will recover soon." ”

The sincerity of that face made the concubines present have to secretly praise.

What a good performance!

……

At the palace banquet on the first day, Empress Yu opened her mouth and Emperor Jianwen mentioned the family affairs of the three princes and the four princes.

The prince's mansion has been built, and the princes are all older, so it is inconvenient to live in the palace. Emperor Jianwen was also happy to see the princes get married and leave the palace earlier: "I asked the Ministry of Rites to pick two good days and let them marry earlier." ”

smiled again: "It's a pity that Miss Xiao and Miss Li won't be able to finish their studies." ”

Empress Yu said with a smile: "The girl's family is studying for the sake of being sensible. Xiao Yuhan and Li Xiangru are both people with a blue heart, and they have been studying in Lianchi Academy for four years, and they are both very outstanding. In the last year, it doesn't hurt not to read. ”

If you want to get married, you have to wait in the mansion to get married, and it is not appropriate to go to the academy again.

The emperor and queen settled the matter in a few words.

Empress Dowager Li was still ill and did not attend the palace banquet. Queen Yu said softly: "Today's palace banquet is so lively, the queen mother stays alone in Cining Palace, quite lonely and lonely. The emperor went to Cining Palace to accompany his mother! ”

Then, he added a few words without self-deprecation: "The concubine originally wanted to go with the emperor." It's just that when the queen mother saw me, she was unhappy. The concubine lost her honor once and didn't bother the queen mother. ”

The mother and son of the in-laws, no matter how angry they are, it is impossible to hold a grudge for a lifetime.

After more than a month, Emperor Jianwen's anger has disappeared for the most part, and he sighed when he heard this, and gently patted the back of Empress Yu's hand: "I know all the grievances you have suffered." ”

"The queen mother is nearly sixty years old. I am a son in the end, and I must be filial to my mother. ”

Oh, yes!

It is only natural for a son to honor his mother!

Emperor Jianwen is a son of heaven, an example for all the people, and filial piety first! She, the daughter-in-law, should swallow her anger and not be half dissatisfied......

Scold!

That dead old woman, who lived to be sixty years old, why didn't she die?

Empress Yu smiled and said: "Husband and wife are one, and the concubines are the same as the emperor, and they are filial to their mothers. ”

……

Emperor Jianwen went to Cining Palace and was alone with Empress Dowager Li for a long time. No one knows what this mother and son, the most noble mother and son in the world, said.

When Emperor Jianwen came out of Cining Palace, his eyes were slightly red.

Empress Dowager Li gave up her old life to repent and cried, and finally got her son's forgiveness.

…… What else can you do without forgiveness? I can't change my mother! It can't be like punishing concubines, and they can enter the cold palace at every turn. After drying Empress Dowager Li for more than a month, it was unprecedented for Emperor Jianwen.

On the first day of the new year, mother and son reconciled.

Empress Dowager Li's heart disease went away, and her health quickly improved.

During the Shangyuan Festival, Empress Dowager Li appeared at the palace banquet. was dissatisfied with Queen Yu's change of pickiness in the past, and her mouth was full of praise: "...... The queen is virtuous and benevolent, filial and respectful to the mourning family. Having such a queen of the middle palace is a blessing for the emperor and a blessing for the mourning family. ”

Empress Yu hurriedly smiled: "I don't dare to be a queen mother." In this palace, you can't leave the queen mother for a day. The queen mother's body is safe, and the daughter-in-law is very happy. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sneered secretly in their hearts while acting.

The concubines didn't mention it in their hearts, with constant smiles on their faces, full of flattery, and a group of flowers.

Emperor Jianwen is a dragon-hearted joy.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not harmonious, and it is really uncomfortable to be sandwiched between their mother-in-law and wife. is a son of heaven, and he has a headache about this matter.

This turmoil can be exchanged for Empress Dowager Li's repentance and complete repentance, and it can be exchanged for the harmony and harmony of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the peace of the harem.

As for the county lord of Yongning, who was innocently imprisoned in the Cixin Nunnery, Emperor Jianwen didn't take it to heart at all.

Behave, have a perverse temperament, stay honestly in the mercy nunnery for a few years, and then talk about it!

After the Shangyuan Festival, Emperor Jianwen issued an edict and ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day for the three princes and the four princes to get married. The Ministry of Rites acted neatly, and within a few days, an auspicious day had been chosen.

The wedding day of the three princes is set on the tenth day of the fourth month.

The wedding of the four princes is on the second day of June.
