In June, Lingxi's health was already in good shape. Not only can you walk around the courtyard of the Lingyan Hall with the support of lotus leaves, but you can also wander around the small garden in the Yongle Palace for a while.

Now Lingxi is in the position of concubine, and in the entire harem, except for Concubine Ying, who is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, she is the most noble.

In the past month or so, Emperor Yong'an has visited Lingyan Hall more than once. But every time he walked in front of the Lingyan Palace, Emperor Yong'an became heavy.

Every time he saw Lingxi's thin face, Emperor Yong'an couldn't help but think of the night of the fire, Lingxi cried, and said to him with blood on his face, "Sinful concubine, both children are complete." ”

A pair of princesses, this has become an indelible pain in Emperor Yong'an's heart. The pain began to spread from the bottom of my heart to the limbs.

On this day, Emperor Yong'an ordered someone to carry the sedan chariot to the door of Yongle Palace. Seeing Xiao Wuzi's figure flashing at the gate of the palace from a distance, Emperor Yongan ordered someone to carry the sedan chair back.

Gonggong Feng followed to the right side of the sedan chair, bowed his head and asked, "Your Majesty, even if you are already here, why don't you go in and see Concubine Yingniang?" ”

"She arranged for someone to watch me come, and if I went in, she would have to pretend to be asleep again, so it was better not to go in and let her stay at ease. Besides," Emperor Yong'an looked at Yin Zi Qianhong in the Imperial Garden, frowned and said, "Xiao Fengzi, if I say I don't dare, do you believe it?" ”

Gonggong Feng didn't dare to answer, so he lowered his head deeper.

"I'm here," the right hand wearing the jade plate finger slapped his left chest, clenching his fist and beating it, "It's like being hollowed out!" As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw that she had floated out on the rockery that day...... When I looked at her hands that day, I had chilblains, so thin that I could see the veins under the skin...... She ......"

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon's body." When Gonggong Feng saw Emperor Yong'an beating him, he hurriedly comforted, "Concubine Yingniang is suffering, but it is precisely because of suffering that the emperor should comfort Concubine Yingniang." Otherwise, the pain in Concubine Ying's heart is there, and the emperor is also ...... The old slave has been waiting for the emperor for more than 30 years, and he really can't bear to see the emperor and Concubine Yingniang torture themselves like this. Even if the two little princesses have spirits in the sky......"

"Don't say it, just wait......"

The five words 'two little princesses' pierced Emperor Yong'an's heart like a knife, and Emperor Yong'an hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt Gonggong Feng's words.

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Gonggong Feng said, "Then the emperor will scatter his mind, the emperor hasn't been to Wen Jieyu for a long time......

"Go back to Zichen Palace, I don't want to go anywhere today."

The three words Jieyu have also become taboo for Emperor Yong'an. Every time he heard the name Wen Jieyu, Emperor Yong'an's mind couldn't help but think of the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, when he was warm and jade, but in the cold palace, his twin princesses were gone.

Get a beautiful woman and lose a pair of princesses.

In this state of mind, how can he see Wen Jieyu's charming face. Wen Jieyu's warm smile fell in the eyes of Emperor Yong'an, and when she heard Emperor Yong'an's heart, it became delicious.

Gonggong Feng sighed, and instructed the eunuch who carried the sedan chair, "Go back to the palace!" ”

When Emperor Yong'an blamed himself in every way, Lingxi often looked at the east side hall in a daze.

It has been more than a month since she returned to the palace, and she has never seen Concubine Yu except for the day she came back, let alone the Five Princes.

On the eighth day of the sixth month of the eighth year of Yong'an, Lingxi did not wait for his five princes, but waited for the fifth daughter of the Zhu family, the fifth daughter of Emperor Yong'an, and the fifth princess Qingmu.

The reason why the main hall of the Lingyan Hall was not repaired was also because Lingxi passed down the words, "The west hall is repaired first, and everything comes first to the five princesses." ”

Lingxi had seen the five princesses before, at the family banquet in the palace and the birthday of the five princesses. At that time, the fifth princess was still in swaddling clothes, a ball of tender meat, soft and soft, and very cute.

Seeing the five princesses again this time, Lingxi was touched by the pain in the eyes of the five princesses.

The children in the royal family are precocious, and the fifth princess, who is only five years old, has already understood that she is no longer the daughter of the queen, and she is no longer a princess.

Under the guidance of the nurse, the fifth princess bowed to Lingxi, and called out in a regular manner, "Qingmu asks for peace to the concubine." ”

Princess Chang, there is no need to bow to the concubines.

Lingxi bent down to help the fifth princess, looking at the delicate little face of the fifth princess and her clear big eyes, she felt a trace of unbearability in her heart.

When Zhu did those hurtful things, why didn't he think about his young daughter?

The fifth princess was a little panicked by Lingxi, and looked up at her nurse again and again, afraid that the nurse had taught her the rules for a few days and made her wrong.

Lingxi picked up the little face of the fifth princess, trying not to think about the abolished Zhu family, and trying to make his face look soft. She whispered, "Does the fifth princess remember me?" ”

The fifth princess wrung her little hands, glanced at Lingxi with some fear, shook her head, but then nodded again, and said, "Qingmu remembers, you are Qingmu's biological mother......

The fifth princess's voice became smaller and smaller, and at last she only looked down at her little hands that were twisted together.

Lingxi raised his head, looked sharply at the nurse of the fifth princess who was kneeling on the side, and said coldly, "This is what you taught the fifth princess?" ”

The nurse Zhu Li nodded flatteringly, and smiled at Lingxi, "Concubine Ying is the biological mother of the fifth princess, and the slave maid didn't teach anything......"

The look of admiration has been revealed.

Lingxi stood up and protected the fifth princess behind him, raised his hand and slapped Zhu Li's family, and shouted, "The fifth princess is a dignified princess, how can you allow this cheap slave to do this!" ”

Zhu Li covered his face and looked at Lingxi in disbelief, as if he didn't understand why Lingxi hit her.

When the fifth princess saw that her nurse was beaten, she was so frightened that tears rolled in her eyes, and she sobbed and swallowed back.

Seeing this, Lotus Ye hurriedly stepped forward and shouted to Zhu Li, "Don't get out of here yet!" ”

Zhu Li hurriedly kowtowed, turned around and went out.

After Zhu Li retreated, Lotus Ye stepped forward and persuaded, "Niangniang, you slapped the fifth princess today, I'm afraid that the news will spread throughout the harem in less than a day, and then others will say that you are competing with a five-year-old doll......"

Lingxi hugged the body of the fifth princess into his arms and said, "This person can't be reused!" Don't scold her father for her son, the fifth princess has reached the age of remembering, how can she teach the fifth princess to forget her mother? Besides, she is so inflammatory, staying by the side of the fifth princess will be a scourge sooner or later, anyway, my wicked person is decided, it is better to blast out directly, and then find me to take care of the fifth princess with confidence. And ......" Lingxi paused, and said, "Now everyone is staring at the Lingyan Palace, just wait for the five princesses to come in, and I will give the five princesses an ugly look to relieve the hatred in their hearts." Now I'm doing this, just to do what they want, and save them from calculating such a little doll day by day......"

Lotus Ye sighed, admired Lingxi, and said, "Niangniang, you have made so much knowledge in this slap, and the slave and maid can't learn it." ”

Lingxi took a cotton handkerchief, helped the fifth princess wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Mu'er, you heard what the mother concubine just said." ”

The fifth princess sobbed, looked at Lingxi with horror in her eyes, and nodded.

"Do you understand?"

The fifth princess shook her head.

Lingxi kissed the fifth princess's fair-skinned face with a little teardrop, and said, "From now on, you will live in the palace of the concubine." Everything the mother does, you have to watch, listen, and learn carefully...... You can't let others bully you......"

"Mu'er......" The fifth princess sobbed and nodded, looked at the pastries on the table, and said, "Mu'er listens to the words of the concubine...... Mu'er, Mu'er is hungry ......"

Lotus Ye saw the sight of the fifth princess and said with a smile, "No, it's already noon, and the fifth princess must be hungry." The slave maid first took the pastries to cushion the stomach of the fifth princess, and after a while, the meal was passed on......"

"That is, as soon as Mu'er said that she was hungry, the mother concubine also felt hungry, Sister Qiaozhu said that she was going to make a lotus leaf chicken today, and Mu'er was blessed......" Lingxi pinched the egg of the fifth princess, licked her lips, and her greed would appear.

The fifth princess was amused by Lingxi's appearance, she was no longer nervous, and she was a little intimate with Lingxi.

But Lingxi frowned, licked her lips again, she looked up at the lotus leaf and said, "What did I eat today?" Why are lips bitter? ”

Lotus raised her eyebrows and replied, "Niangniang ate a cup of rock sugar bird's nest today, if it tastes, it should be sweet, how can it be bitter?" ”

The fifth princess also licked her lips and said, "Mu'er's is also bitter......

"Mu'er spit it out...... Lingxi said busily, holding the handkerchief to the mouth of the fifth princess, and said, "Learn from the mother and concubine, bah bah!" ”

The fifth princess was frightened by Lingxi's nervous appearance, and hurriedly learned from Lingxi to spit out all the spit in her mouth.

Lingxi sat on the ground and took the fifth princess into his arms and thought for a while. I feel that this suffering is not due to myself, it must be from the fifth princess. Thinking that he had kissed the fifth princess, Lingxi ordered the lotus leaf to take a cup of boiled water, moistened the face of the fifth princess with his fingers, and then dipped his fingers......

The fifth princess said in a milky voice, "Mother, Mu'er just bathed when she came, and she also pounced on the powder." ”

Lingxi's face had changed greatly, and she hurriedly said to the lotus leaf, "Go and get a basin of clean water to clean the face of the fifth princess, and then ask the imperial doctor to come over!" ”

Lotus Ye nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran out.

After the fifth princess cleaned her face again, the imperial doctor also came.

After testing and tasting the water that the five princesses had cleansed, the imperial physician said to Lingxi with certainty, "Concubine Ying, there is oleander juice in the water of the five princesses, and the amount is very large. ”
