According to historical records, the 20th year of Shunde was an auspicious year.

In February of this year, the sky suddenly appeared with a five-star alignment, and in April, a farmer in Shanxi Province found a pair of red geese while working in the fields and presented them to the imperial court. In May, Concubine Ning gave birth to five princes. In July, a huge stone monument resembling a big bird appeared in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and some people say that it is the Phoenix Stone.

In August, many people began to plead with the emperor to establish a new queen.

In Yuehua Palace, Yingge put down the half-embroidered upper in his hand and looked out the window, raised his head and instructed the palace maid standing on the side: "It's almost time for lunch, you can take someone to Furong Palace to pick up the four princes back." ”

The palace maid answered.

Since Concubine Li's death, the four princes born by Concubine Li have been raised under the knees of the nobles. There are not many children in the palace, and the fourth prince who was born on the same day and Princess Fu'an are playing very well. The Queen Mother lost her mother at a young age in the fourth prince, and she couldn't bear to detain him all the time, so she was happy to see the closeness between the two children.

The four princes often go to Concubine Li's Furong Palace to play, and occasionally Princess Fu'an will also come to Yuehua Palace.

After a while, the palace maid sent to pick up the four princes came back: "Niangniang, Ning Guifei Niangniang left the four princes to eat in the Furong Palace." ”

When Yingge heard this, she frowned slightly, with some imperceptible worry in her eyes. She doesn't mind that the children are close to each other, which is what the Queen Mother and the Emperor want to see. Even the Queen Mother said that when the two children eat together, the rice is sweeter.

But Concubine Li's ......

"Niangniang, the slave maid ordered the meal, right? You're a double now, but you're hungry. ”

Yingge heard that her hand unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, she was two months pregnant. Although she has not yet shown her abdomen, she can already feel that a life is being conceived in her blood. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but put her frowning brows flat, Sanniang once said that the emotions of pregnancy will affect the fetus in the womb. She also wants to give birth to a healthy child who is as lively, cute and caring as Xiaoyi.

". Or you go to the Queen Mother and ask Prince Xuanzhuang to come to the palace. Every time the princess and the little prince come, you will be happy for a while. The palace maid suggested with a smile.

Yingge shook her head: "She is also pregnant with a child now, I heard that this baby is tossed more than when she was pregnant with a younger one, and she always vomits after eating." Just don't toss. ”

When the palace maid heard this, she seemed to think of something, pursed her lips and smiled: "The slave maid heard that the little prince had to beat the legs of the queen mother when he followed the old princess into the palace last time, and then asked the queen mother to give him a box of cherries when he left. was teased by the queen mother and the emperor for his greed, and he also smiled and did not defend himself. Later, I learned that he was begging for the princess, just because the princess wanted to eat cherries a few days ago. When the Queen Mother found out, she told the Internal Affairs Office to send some seasonal fruits to Prince Zhuang's Mansion every once in a while. The people in the palace said that the little prince was filial. ”

Yingge also smiled: "Xiao Yi is a likable child, and there is no one in the palace who doesn't like him." ”

"Yes, a three-year-old child is so sensible." The palace maid looked at Yingge and smiled. "Xiao Shizi likes to be close to you, and said that you will give birth to a boy like him. The slave and maid listened to the old man in the palace, and the child's words were very accurate. ”

Yingge smiled slightly when she heard this, "Let's set the meal." ”

When the fourth prince came back in the afternoon, he was clean, but Yingge found that the clothes on his body had changed. The hair is also recombed. beckoned him over, touched his head and said, "What are you playing with Fu'an?" ”

The fourth prince hurriedly climbed up the kang, but was stopped by the palace maid on the side: "Fourth Highness, be careful, don't bump into the mother." ”

The four princes slapped the palace maid's hand away.

Yingge shook her head at the palace maid: "It's okay. Stretched out his hand and pulled the four princes up.

Only then did the fourth prince say happily: "Yingying, let's move back to Yichun Palace, right?" ”

Yingge was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Why do you say that?" Is Yuehua Palace bad? ”

The fourth prince tilted his head and said: "But my mother is in Yichun Palace, if I live in Yichun Palace, my mother can bless me from being killed by bad people." ”

The palace maid's face turned pale and looked at Yingge.

Yingge was stunned again, then gently stroked the forehead of the fourth prince and said gently: "How could His Highness think so?" Who is the bad guy trying to harm you? ”

The fourth prince played dissatisfiedly: "I don't know." I'm just going to move, I'm going to move, I'm going to move......"

Yingge sighed lightly and coaxed: "Moving the palace is a big deal, and you need the permission of the Queen Mother and your father, not if you want to." ”

The four princes looked at Yingge suspiciously. Some distrust: "Really? Isn't it Yingying, are you afraid that my mother won't dare to go back to live? ”

Yingge's face couldn't help but change when she heard this: "Your Highness, you ......"

The fourth prince stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and his eyes flashed, "I didn't say anything." With that, he slid neatly off the kang and ran away.

"Niangniang—" The palace maid looked at Yingge worriedly.

Yingge steadied her breath and waved her hand: "I'm fine." Go and let people look at Your Highness, don't bump into it. ”

After the palace maid retreated, Yingge closed her eyes, and when she opened the ground again, her eyes were already quiet.

In the evening, the emperor came to Yuehua Palace.

Yingge accompanied the emperor to dinner as usual, and then the two drank tea and talked together.

"The emperor uses less today than in the past, are you still thinking about the affairs of the court?" Yingge asked with concern.

The emperor took a sip of tea: "It's just a quarrel for the sake of the future, and the quarrel gives me a headache." ”

Yingge shook her head and smiled when she heard this, but she didn't express her opinion on it.

The emperor took the initiative to ask: "Tell me, who is the right person to sit in this queen's position?" ”

Yingge glanced at the emperor when she heard this, and saw that he seemed to ask casually, and did not mean anything else: "How can a concubine understand these court matters?" The emperor really asked the wrong person. ”

"This is a harem matter, and you are also a palace concubine."

Yingge shook her head with a smile: "If it's just a matter of the harem, how can the court and the middle of the court quarrel as the emperor said?" Your Majesty, don't cheat your concubines, concubines are sometimes smart, so they don't want to be fooled. "There was a bit of a smug look.

The emperor was stunned. Then he laughed: "Ying'er is right, I really shouldn't underestimate you." ”

"Your Majesty, today His Royal Highness said that he wanted to move back to Yichun Palace to live." Yingge waited for the emperor to finish laughing, and then seemed to mention it casually.

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "Isn't Yuehua Palace bad?" Although this place is not as big as Yichun Palace. But it is also delicate and clean, and it is close to the Queen Mother's Ci'an Palace. ”

Yingge lowered her head and smiled: "The Fourth Highness must miss Concubine Li." ”

The emperor laughed: "How old was he then?" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but pause. I heard that he often goes to Furong Palace these days? ”

Yingge nodded: "His Royal Highness likes to play with Fu'an, so I still have dinner with Fu'an at noon today." ”

The emperor muttered: "He is not young anymore, he should go to the imperial study in another year to study, and it is not good to always play with girls." In the future, let's go to Furong Palace less. ”

Yingge hurriedly bowed her head and responded.

The emperor said: "It's just that you shouldn't work too hard now, you might as well let him accompany the queen mother during the day." The Queen Mother is old and likes to be lively. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The concubine knew. ”

After the emperor left, Yingge couldn't help but be a little thoughtful. The emperor's attitude towards Ning Guifei ...... Something seems strange.

It's just that a few days after this incident, the emperor stated in the early court that he did not plan to marry the new queen again, but decided to make Ning Guifei, the biological mother of the fifth prince, the queen. He ordered the Heavenly Supervisor of Qin to discuss with the Ministry of Rites to come out with a date and ceremony.

The news reached the harem. The palace gate of Furong Palace was almost broken by Daoxi's concubines.

"Mother, you've finally arrived." After the arrival of the Furong Palace and the people who congratulated him left, Ning Guifei's side touched the world happily.

Rao is Ning Guifei is usually calm, and at this time, she can't help but show joy on her face. She waited so long for this day, planned so much, and even did not hesitate to borrow Concubine Li's life to force Queen Shen to death. Looking at this harem, who else is more qualified than her to sit in the position of the mistress of this harem?

"Niangniang, over there in Yuehua Palace...... Do you want to stop? Now you are about to be crowned queen, and that noble man is just a lowly person, even if he is pregnant, it is only two months. I don't know if it's a man or a woman. If something happens to her at this time, it will inevitably be unlucky. ”

Concubine Ning frowned: "If she is just a humble and insignificant person, the palace would not bother to do anything to her, but she has four princes in her hands and is pregnant, not only the queen mother likes her, but even the emperor treats her differently from other palace concubines." If it weren't for the fact that the emperor had already indicated that he would establish the palace as the queen, the palace would be most worried about her coming in the way! ”

"Isn't Niangniang overly worried?" Touch the puzzle authentic. "Even if she raised the four princes, she was only born as a maid, and her identity is not a little worse than other palace concubines."

Ning Guifei took Mama's hand and walked to the kang and sat down, smiling slightly: "Born? Birth in another place may be a hurdle that cannot be overcome, but in the most noble place in the world, birth is the least important thing. If you look at the queens of the previous dynasty, if you look at it from a distance, Empress Min, the founding emperor of this dynasty, is a village woman who can't read a single character, and Empress Gao of Emperor Taizong is just a small family born in a small family. When she arrived at Emperor Suzong, her successor, the Yang family, turned out to be a widow found by the people. It is said that when Emperor Lingzong was old, he wanted to set up a palace maid beside him as his queen, but unfortunately he died before he could make an order. Therefore, the most important thing is who the emperor wants to appoint. ”

"But the emperor still decided to make you the queen. As for what you said about the emperor looking at the nobles differently, the slaves and maids really didn't see it. The slave maid looked at Zhao Guiren and Liu Meiren, who had served the most recently, and even Concubine Zhou, who was also pregnant, was more favored than Zhen Guiren in terms of identity and the rewards she received. ”

Ning Guifei sighed lightly and shook her head: "The truth of this harem matter cannot be seen with your eyes. The emperor has not given special preferential treatment to the nobles, but it is difficult to say that this is not a kind of maintenance. Look at the concubines Zhou, Liu Guiren, and Zhao Meiren who are fighting to the death, but the noble people have never been affected. How could they forget that although the emperor does not spend the night at the noble person's place many times, he will not miss her days every month, and he still chooses the days when the woman is most suitable for conception! ”

To say that women have a natural intuition, Ning Guifei is intuitively aware of the threat of Zhen Guiren, so she pays more attention to her than the three most favored palace concubines on the surface.

Mama pondered Ning Guifei's words carefully, and was also surprised: "That'...... The nobleman's side ......"

Ning Guifei thought about it carefully with her forehead, and finally shook her head and said, "That's it." Let's not do it yet. You're right, if something happens and you end up missing the ceremony, the palace will lose more than it gains. When the palace sits firmly on the queen's throne, these people are not afraid one by one. ”

"Yes,. When you become the queen, our fifth highness will be the prince. Our dynasty has a tradition of establishing a descendant but not a long-term successor. When the time comes, why will you compete with the women who serve by their beautiful women? ”

Concubine Ning smiled faintly: "If I don't do it, it doesn't mean that the noble person can be smooth and smooth." You must know that the previous one left her behind. ”

"Niangniang is talking about the palace maid and nurse around the four princes?" Mama suddenly realized.

Concubine Ning covered her mouth and smiled very happily: "If you want to talk about the previous Concubine Li." I really like her. She is indispensable to the fact that this palace can have today! ”

Although the four princes followed the nobles, the palace maids and grandmothers around him were left behind by the four princes' biological mothers, Concubine Li. At the beginning, there was nothing to do, but as soon as the noble man was pregnant, those who were originally submissive in front of the noble man were surging in their minds.

After all, at the beginning, the princes were young, and they had to rely on the nobles to survive. But when Zhengui gives birth to a child and has her own prince, then the situation between them and the four princes will be awkward.

The four princes are okay to say, after all, there are still the emperor and the queen mother to protect them. Those of them who stayed behind had to worry that the nobles had removed them.

It's just because Zhen Guiren is not the biological mother of the four princes. It's not good to change them at the beginning to make people criticize, so that people outside doubt her motives.

Naturally, she wouldn't beat the idea of the Four Princes, after all, there was the Queen Mother staring at her, but if she wanted to get the attention of those around the Four Princes, it would be very easy.

It was only a few words of provocation, and they began to sit on their seats, jumping up and down.

Come to think of it. Concubine Ning smiled happily.

But she didn't know that she couldn't laugh for long.

It didn't take long for Qin Tianjian to pick out the day suitable for holding the post-sealing ceremony, although it was a succession, the emperor's will was also a little rushed, and the post-sealing ceremony was still set for November.

On this day, Ning Guifei took Princess Fu'an and the five princes from Ci'an Palace to the Queen Mother to greet her, Princess Fu'an and the five princes were left in the Queen Mother's Palace, Ning Guifei rushed back to Furong Palace to deal with some palace affairs, and ordered the imperial dining room to make a bowl of noodle soup at noon. When you're done, plan to take a nap.

I didn't want to, but I suddenly started a high fever.

The emperor came to see it in person, and at that time, Concubine Ning was in a daze, and kept saying "this palace", "queen", "prince", ...... Wait a minute.

The grandmother on the side turned pale with fright, for fear that she would say something she shouldn't say. The emperor didn't notice it at all, and only gently helped Concubine Ning straighten out the quilt.

When he left, he only thoughtfully explained: "Concubine Ai is sick, and the child will be left with the Queen Mother to take care of it for the time being." Serve well here. ”

The people of the Furong Palace all bowed down to respond.

The emperor got up, took one last look at Concubine Ning, with a hint of indifference in her gentleness, and then left without looking back.

After coming out of the Furong Palace, the emperor went straight to the Yuehua Palace of the noble people.

"Your Majesty, is Concubine Ning better?" Yingge hurriedly greeted him and asked.

Emperor Shunde nodded: "Tomorrow will be fine." ”

This sounded a little strange, but Yingge didn't think much about it, and only welcomed him in to serve him.

On the second day, Concubine Ning still didn't get better, and in the evening, she suddenly breathed rapidly, her face twitched, and finally she kicked her legs and swallowed her breath.

The people of Furong Palace were stunned for a long time before they reacted, and Ning Guifei was so close to her that she collapsed to the ground in fright, and then the sound of crying sounded to the sky.

Everyone didn't understand why someone who was fine yesterday morning suddenly said he was dead and died.

Even Concubine Ning herself didn't understand why she was about to climb to the enviable peak when she was in sight, but she suddenly fell on the road. But she didn't understand and couldn't ask any more.

Concubine Ning's death was too sudden, and it also caused a lot of turmoil in the palace. There are even rumors that the late Concubine Li was actually killed by Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning's sudden death this time was Concubine Li's life.

Yingge was also startled when she knew that Ning Guifei was dead, and then she couldn't help but feel a little chilled. She suddenly thought of the appearance that when the emperor came to her yesterday, he looked a little different from before, and she was at a loss in her heart.

In the end, the rumors in the palace were suppressed by the Queen Mother. After all, Concubine Ning is gone, but the princess Fu'an and the five princes she came out of still have a foothold in the palace.

The diagnosis given by the Tai Hospital was that Ning Guifei was suffering from a weak heart and was overjoyed recently. As a result, the heart pulse could not bear it, and finally died of a sudden heart disease. Regardless of whether this diagnosis is reasonable or not, no one in the palace dares to blatantly discuss the matter of Concubine Ning under the strict orders of the Queen Mother.

In the end, the emperor let Ning Guifei be buried with the dignity of the imperial concubine. Concubine Ning is forever only one step away from the position she dreamed of.

In the twenty-first year of Shunde, Concubine Zhou and Zhen Guiren gave birth to six princes and seven princes one after another, adding new sons to the royal family. Emperor Longyan Dayue named Concubine Zhou as a concubine, and Zhen Guiren as a concubine.

The imperial court once again proposed the matter of establishing the post, but the emperor rejected them one by one. Some people speculated that the emperor's refusal to establish the queen so soon may be related to the crown prince's position.

Because if there is a queen. The queen is the concubine, that is, the future crown prince.

So the harem, which was originally spelled beauty, ushered in the era of spelling sons. Everyone knows that as long as the son is angry, in the end, the mother can rely on the son.

And the contradictions between Concubine Zhen and the palace maids and grandmothers around the four princes gradually increased. The saying that stepmothers are embarrassed is true many times.

In the harem of such a complex environment. Many times the relationships between people are determined not by feelings, but by interests. As a prince, or a prince-centered interest group, he will inevitably gather a group of people who depend on him for survival.

These people are attached to him and used by him, and the older the four princes get, the more obvious this trend becomes, and there is no way to change it.

Unless Yingge does not give birth to his own prince for the rest of his life, he only ties himself to the interests of the four princes. Otherwise, there would be no way for her to be truly compatible with the group that represented the interests of the Four Princes.

In the harem environment, it is impossible for Yingge to really lock up the four princes and raise them, she is not her own mother after all. Nor is there kindness to the point of challenging the world for a child who is not his own.

And the Seven Princes born to her. Whatever her intentions, there were groups behind the Seven Princes who represented his interests.

The four princes were raised in Yingge's Yuehua Palace until they were six years old, and then they set up another palace like many princes and moved out of Yuehua Palace.

In the years when the fourth prince was still in Yuehua Palace, the relationship between the two sides was quite peaceful under Yingge's efforts, at least as an adoptive mother. What Yingge did made people unable to find faults.

It's just that as the princes grew up, the four princes and the Yuehua Palace eventually went farther and farther away.

At that time, Concubine Zhen had already been promoted to a noble concubine because she gave birth to the Nine Emperor Princes and Princess Shenghua, and she was the leader in the harem.

In the twenty-seventh year of Shunde, Emperor Shunde fell seriously ill and almost couldn't afford to get sick, and finally Prince Xuanshao and Princess Zhuang risked their relationship with the support of Concubine Zhen to invite Mrs. Jiang to rescue Emperor Shunde with the secret method.

It is rumored that Imperial Physician Chiang risked the crime of killing his head and used a knife on the emperor. It's not the facts, but Emperor Shunde himself after recovering from his illness was secretive, and he didn't cure Imperial Doctor Jiang's crimes.

It's just that the matter of establishing a prince has once again been put on the table, and this time even Emperor Shunde himself can't avoid it.

In the Yuehua Palace, Concubine Zhen looked at the child who was only eleven years old standing in front of her, with a complicated expression.

"This palace doesn't understand what the Fourth Highness means."

The fourth prince's expression was flying: "Mother, the son-in-law has been taken care of by you since he was a child, and the mother concubine has always regarded the son-in-law as her own son, and the son-in-law thinks that you should also hope that the son-in-law can get what he wants." As the eldest son of his father besides the eldest brother, doesn't Erchen deserve the position of crown prince? ”

Concubine Zhen sighed lightly: "Fourth Highness, this matter is not for this palace to decide. The four princes are a little restless, waiting for the decision of the emperor and the courtiers. ”

The fourth prince frowned: "Mother, are you perfunctory?" No one in the palace knows that the most trusted person in the palace is you, and what you say is worth ten or a hundred sentences from others. You shirk it like this, but you still want your own seventh brother to be the crown prince, right? ”

Concubine Zhen Guifei looked at the four princes for a while, thought about it and asked, "Your Highness, can you tell the palace who asked you to come to the palace at this time?" ”

The fourth prince was impatient: "You just promise the emperor, what does it matter who asked me to come." ”

"Then please forgive this palace for not being able to do anything, this palace has never interfered in the affairs of the previous dynasty."

The fourth prince's face sank: "Is the mother concubine really so ruthless!" ”

Concubine Zhen said earnestly: "Your Highness, this palace kindly reminds you today, stay away from those villains who slander." This man is simply uneasy and kind-hearted......"

"Is it kind or hypocritical, the minister knows it very well in his heart!" The fourth prince pursed his lips, "Whether you promise or not is a matter of one sentence." But the mother has to think clearly, if you reject me, don't think that I will miss your old feelings in the future. ”

Concubine Zhen said helplessly: "What does the Fourth Highness want to do?" ”

The fourth prince glanced at Concubine Zhen: "I have the evidence in my hand that you killed my mother in the first place!" ”

Concubine Zhen looked at the fourth prince in surprise: "This palace hurt your mother?" ”

The fourth prince snorted lightly: "If it weren't for Aunt Lin telling me." I'm still in the dark with you! In order to raise me under your knees, you did not hesitate to poison my mother, and you also framed the blame on the former queen! Before my mother died, it was too late to discover the truth of the matter. I can only secretly swallow this bitter fruit and hand over the evidence of your harm to Aunt Lin for safekeeping, and ask her to wait for me to grow up and leave you before telling me the truth! ”

Aunt Lin in the mouth of the four princes was originally the eldest palace maid in front of Concubine Li, and she served the four princes after Concubine Li's death, and she did not leave the palace to marry when she reached the age.

Concubine Zhen couldn't help but be annoyed in her heart, these people really did whatever it took to climb up.

Regardless of whether the so-called evidence of the fourth prince was fabricated by Concubine Li in order to prevent her, or that Aunt Lin fabricated it, it was all punishable.

"Mother. If you think about it again, Erchen will retire first. The four princes gave an ultimatum, and they bowed hastily and withdrew.

After the four princes left, a woman with a beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament walked out of the inner hall.

Concubine Zhen turned around and smiled bitterly: "I don't want you to listen to the joke." ”

The woman smiled and shook her head: "I didn't expect to hear this, I knew that I wouldn't go in to change my clothes." It's just tea that wets some of the skirts. ”

"I'll send someone to send you out of the palace, Xiao Yi must be in a hurry waiting outside."

Hearing Concubine Zhen mention her son, Sanniang couldn't help laughing: "Well, he has to learn what the ancients want to drive back the carriage for me, so let him wait." He's good-tempered. ”

Zhen Guiren laughed: "You, always play tricks on children." It's also a shame that he can put up with you. ”

Sanniang walked up to her and said with a smile: "Hasn't Niangniang made up her mind yet?" ”

"What?" Zhen Guiren raised his head and looked at Sanniang.

Sanniang smiled: "When the interruption continues, the situation is afraid to be more tense." Now is not yet the time for the fish to die and the net to break. Maybe it's better to do it than when you have to. Mother, there is no turning back when you open the bow. Whatever decision you make, make sure it is done early so that you can keep things under control. ”

Zhen Guiren thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand." ”

Sanniang saluted her and quit the palace.

A few days passed. The emperor came to ask about the establishment of the crown prince by Concubine Zhen.

"Doesn't the emperor already have a candidate in his heart? Why did you come to ask the concubine this woman? Concubine Zhen said with a smile.

Emperor Shunde looked at Concubine Zhen for a while, and suddenly sighed lightly and hugged her in his arms: "I'm sorry, Ying'er." ”

Yingge smiled faintly, gently rested her head on his chest and did not speak.

In fact, what Emperor Shunde wants to establish is the eldest son of the fourth prince, which is why he has not established a queen, and the order of the young and old is very important to him and the queen mother, which is the foundation of the internal stability of the royal family. Although the talents of the four princes are not as good as those of the seventh princes.

On the second day, Concubine Zhen and the emperor went to the palace of the Queen Mother, and then there was a rumor that Concubine Zhen took the initiative to ask the emperor and the Queen Mother to make the four princes the crown prince.

After that, the emperor decreed that the four princes were appointed as the crown princes, and the concubine Zhen was appointed as the imperial concubine.

On the day of accepting the canonization, the imperial concubine faced the envious and jealous faces of the harem concubines, but secretly smiled faintly.

Her good reputation was promoted to her by the emperor, including the division of the imperial concubine, which was all compensation for her. In fact, she is a woman who has nothing to do in the inner palace, how can He De influence the decision-making of the emperor and the queen mother? It's just a matter of pushing the boat along.

If she had replied to the emperor who she had made the crown prince the prince of the seven princes she had born, what was waiting for her would have been a different story.

Being in the royal family, many things can only be understood by yourself, and what others see is just the superficial liveliness.

The person who provoked the four princes to come to her to blackmail her at the beginning was not really planning for the four princes, but just like her, she saw the emperor's thoughts, and used the secret to harm the four princes out.

The purpose is to make the four princes provoke her, and then she turns against the four princes, and waits for the four princes to lose the qualification to compete for the crown. It's time for her, a black-hearted and vicious concubine, to give way.

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine Yingge looked at Concubine Duan, who was sitting on the side with a far-fetched smile, and smiled at her, the meaning was unknown.

It's a pity that she doesn't want to be used as a gunman.

And the four princes ...... Thinking of the Four Princes, Yingge still couldn't help but sigh.

Since he chose this path by himself, she could only watch. As a mother. She is naturally partial to her children, which she can't help but admit.

All she can do is not take the initiative to harm others. What happens in the future depends on their respective abilities.

Since then. The imperial concubine became more low-key, she began to spend a lot of time in Ci'an Palace every day to accompany the sick queen mother in bed, and even the affairs of the harem were assigned to Concubine Duan, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Liu took care of it together, completely away from the circle of right and wrong and started to be the shopkeeper.

Two years later, the Seventh Prince invited himself to go to Northern Xinjiang with the second son of Prince Zhuang to experience training. Although the seventh prince was still young, he was honest and steady, and the emperor entrusted him to Wang Jing, the chief soldier of Ningxia.

Thirty-two years in Shunde. When the prince went out of the palace to play, he encountered an assassin and was injured in the meridians of his limbs, and when he was carried back by the guards, his limbs were already crippled.

The Assassin claimed to be avenging the Shen family.

The injury of the crown prince hit Emperor Shunde hard, but it was impossible for the emperor to sit on the crippled person. In the imperial court, it was proposed to abolish the crown prince and set up a separate excerpt.

The emperor thought about it again and again, and announced that the seventh prince returned to Beijing. At this time, the seventh prince returned to Beijing. The meaning is different. The palace of the imperial concubine, who had been neglected for several years, was lively again.

The imperial concubine still did what she had to do, and was unmoved, and finally simply closed the door on the grounds that she wanted to be clean.

The Seven Princes' journey back to Beijing was not smooth sailing, he encountered three groups of assassins along the way, and finally fortunately met Prince Zhuang Shizi who took someone to pick up his younger brother back to Beijing and Prince Li, who had nothing to do with him to join in the fun, and finally the four of them fought all the way back to the capital.

The four teenagers, who were in an embarrassment, looked at each other and smiled when they saw the gate of the palace, and then fell to the ground in exhaustion.

"Xuan Lao Er. Don't you often boast that your kung fu has been passed down by Prince Zhuang, which is much better than you, the eldest brother who has been spoiled by his mother since he was a child and only knows how to recite poems and paint, and deceive his sister-in-law's heart? Who asked my brother to save him in the previous battle? The Seventh Prince, who was lying sideways, teased the platform of the second son of Prince Zhuang.

Xuan Liangliang secretly glanced at his brother with a smile, and his eyes twitched: "I, when did I say that kind of thing!" How could I say something like that! I...... I...... My brother is the best! ”

"Really? Who secretly told me that he was worried about his brother's future? said that his brother can only embroider his legs with fists and fists, and will only please his mother and sister? "Prince Li also came to add fuel to the fire.

The smile on Xuan Xiao's face was gentle. looked at his brother and was silent.

Xuan closed his eyes in pairs, his face was full of tears, and he said very unkindly: "How can this be what Young Master Ben said!" In the heart of this young master, my brother is an insurmountable existence! What will only be coquettish in front of the mother, and will only please the woman...... It's me! ”

“……”

"Cut ......"

Xuan Liangliang comforted himself in his heart: My mother said that a real warrior must dare to face a bleak life, dare to face the dripping blood, and the most important thing is to be able to bend and stretch, and not to fight hard with people who are stronger than you!

*********

On the day when the seven princes returned to the palace, Concubine Duan was given a cup of poisoned wine by the emperor. The Zhou family behind Concubine Duan was raided and wiped out overnight.

In the thirty-third year of Shunde, the Shunde Emperor established the Seventh Prince as the crown prince, and the biological mother of the Seven Princes, Concubine Zhen, was canonized as the queen.

After the ceremony, Sanniang took her three children back to her home in a carriage.

Looking at the children laughing and laughing on the side, Sanniang couldn't help but smile.

Just thinking about it, she still said, "I have something I want to say to you today. ”

The three laughing children immediately shut down and looked at their mothers with blank eyes.

Sanniang touched their heads one by one, and said seriously: "At the beginning, you insisted on saving the Seventh Prince, but my mother did not stop you, because my mother knew that you have grown up, have the ability to judge right and wrong, and can be responsible for your own actions." In the end, you have fulfilled this brotherhood with your own ability, and my mother is very proud of you. ”

After a pause, she continued: "However, from now on, my mother hopes that you can always remember another one, that is, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister. When it is time to talk about brotherhood, do not be stingy to give, and when it is time to recognize your own identity, you must put those things aside, and do not let the words and deeds of outsiders affect your judgment. Only when you can do this, can my mother really rest assured of you. ”

The three brothers and sisters thought about it seriously, looked at their mother, and nodded solemnly: "Mother, we understand." ”

When the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a slender and upright figure stood quietly at the door, staring at the carriage with serious eyes, Sanniang's eyes met him, and smiled brightly.

"Your daddy is waiting for us, let's go down."

……

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the story of the older generation slowly ends, and the era of young people is coming.

That's another story......
