On such a cold day, the child fell into the ice cave, things can be big or small, Xiang Ye can't be ignored, Min'er can't be indifferent, the emperor and queen rushed to the Begonia Palace together, passing by the snowman they just built together, the snowman is still smiling and guarding the long bridge, but the people who walk by no longer have the interest of building a snowman.

In this imperial city, there are always waves of unsettled, and where there are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and it is not just because they are women. It can only be said that they happen to be women, they are all women's rights and wrongs, the sedan chair swayed and went to the Begonia Palace, Min'er hoped that the eldest prince could grow up soon, go to his fiefdom early, and take his mother with him.

The days of such an unfinished heart, I don't know when it will be a head, it's not that Min'er doesn't want to worry, but she doesn't want to worry about the other women and children of the man she loves. At this point, Min'er did not have the consciousness of being a queen, she was unwilling to put the concubines in her eyes from the beginning, her mother was only for the people of the country.

In the Begonia Palace, there has been a royal doctor coming, the palace people are nervously looking in the courtyard, as soon as the emperor enters the door to see the crowd of Wuyang, his heart is irritable, Min'er gestured to Qingya, and dispersed them.

Inside the door, the panicked Wang Jieyu was already kneeling on the edge of the bed with weak legs, the imperial doctors were checking the pulse of the child, and everyone saw the emperor and queen coming, and they came up one after another. ”

The imperial doctor said: "The eldest prince is frightened and frozen, I don't know if he has drunk ice water, although the pulse is stable and I can't see anything at the moment, but I have to observe for a few days, maybe I will have a high fever tonight." ”

As soon as his voice fell, he heard Wang Jieyu's crying voice, but not all women's tears are valuable in Xiang Ye's eyes, at least at this moment, he doesn't want to see anyone crying, but as an emperor, how can he be angry with a weak woman in front of people, not to mention Min'er often says that joy and anger are invisible.

"If you look at it again, you will step back and send someone to guard here and take care of the eldest prince carefully." Xiang Ye endured the displeasure, and walked to the side of the bed after giving the order, the frightened and frozen child's eyes were closed, he was also afraid of death, but seeing the eyeballs rolling under his eyelids, obviously not asleep, the emperor called a few times, "Hong'er, it's the father." ”

The eldest prince slowly opened his eyes, full of timidity and grievances, and said softly: "Father." ”

Xiang Ye didn't blame him for falling into the ice cave angrily, and it was not too late to investigate when he got better, so he coaxed a few words and asked him to be obedient and take medicine to sleep, until his son closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

Min'er stood quietly and watched, didn't this man who was frizzy in front of him and couldn't be a father do a good job? She has no father in her life, even if she looks at other people's fathers, she can't imagine what to do with her father, this Min'er can't help the emperor, but he is getting better and better.

"Let's go." Xiang Ye got up to leave, glanced at Wang Jieyu, who had already stood up from the ground, did not blame or complain, just said seriously, "If you don't see it yourself, don't blame others, he is at a playful age, I have nothing to do when he is so old, it's good for boys to be naughty, but you have to tell him what danger is, don't just be stupid." There are many things in the New Year's Festival, and all etiquette is exempted, so it is good to give birth to the body first. ”

Wang Jieyu was stunned, and unconsciously moved her eyes to the queen, is it because the queen is here that the emperor has become so gentle? In the past three years, he has either ignored his son, or he has beaten and scolded him, so simple and rude, that anyone thinks that the emperor does not like the eldest prince.

However, Xiang Ye still asked: "How did he fall?" ”

Wang lowered his head and said timidly: "The first month is the emperor's birthday, and this child seems to be preparing some congratulatory gifts for you, and the specific concubines don't understand." ”

When Min'er heard this, she couldn't help but look at the emperor, he was about to have a birthday?

Xiang Ye said: "Nonsense, when you wake up, you tell him that you will be happy to read a few books seriously." But in the end, he relented, and said, "I will come to see the child tomorrow, don't cry, he doesn't like to see you shed tears." ”

Talking like this, the emperor took Min'er away, and finally made up his mind whether there was any danger or danger, and then went back to the long bridge and passed by the cute snowman, only then did he smile again, and Min'er gently pulled Xiang Ye's sleeve and said, "The emperor is going to celebrate his birthday?" ”

Xiang Ye said coldly: "I don't love my birthday at this age, and I am going to be forty years old." He squeezed Min'er's hand and said, "In the next year, my birthday and yours will be your birthday, so that you will be two years older a year, I will not move, and you will soon catch up with me." ”

"What kind of child's words are these?" Min'er smiled, but said guiltily, "I didn't care about it, no one in the palace mentioned it, and I didn't celebrate my birthday much before." ”

The emperor asked, "Why?" Didn't you girls love the moon by the stars on your birthday? ”

Min'er shook her head and said: "When I was a child, after I went to Yuanzhou, once I had my birthday, I thought of my mother, and I thought that she was still suffering in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I was left with distress. ”

Xiang Ye comforted her: "This is serious, you should think about your mother on your birthday." For now, you can rest assured that your mother will not suffer any more in Yuanzhou, but it is inevitable that you will be worried that there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. I heard that after you returned the congratulatory gift from Qiu Zhenyu last time, the Zhao family has not gone out for a long time, and the housework in the prime minister's mansion is also in charge of the concubine's room, Qiu Zhenyu is very ruthless. ”

"Don't mention them." Min'er didn't like to mention anyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and blamed herself, "Good manners, how can you mention them." ”

Xiang Ye wanted to make her happy, so he asked, "Now that you know my birthday, what are you going to prepare?" ”

Min'er mentioned her spirit and smiled: "Naturally, I will honor my mother, thank my mother for giving birth to the emperor in October, and raise the emperor with hard work." ”

The emperor smiled and touched Min'er's face: "It doesn't matter, I will ask you myself." ”

The eyes are tactful, the affection is lingering, and they finally return to the world of the two, although they can't have fun tonight, but a game of chess and a cup of tea, sitting and talking, and then hugging each other and sleeping, it is also rare to be clean. And after this day, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the first day, Min'er and the Empress Dowager alone with the concubines of the six palaces had to deal with all kinds of rituals to worship the heavens and ancestors, and the emperor was also very busy, and the two could have a cup of tea at leisure, which was a few days later.

On this day, Min'er and Yunshang greeted the Queen Mother in the Longevity Palace, and then walked together, and happened to meet Qin Wenyue who came from the plum garden. After that incident, they almost never met again, and Qin Wenyue also insisted on staying by the Queen Mother's side, and until the day she was sent away, she would never show her feet, and the Queen Mother still loved her, I am afraid that she still wanted to marry Qin Wenyue to Shen Zhe.

In the first month of the New Year, the unmarried girl was dressed in a delicate and bright manner, Min'er and Yunshang had to wear luxurious dresses, although they were beautiful and noble, but among the three peers, Qin Wenyue was indeed more vibrant, and she smiled brightly when she saw them; "Niangniang and Madame are leaving, why don't you drink another cup of tea and enjoy the plum blossoms with the Queen Mother."

Min'er smiled and said nothing, and glanced at Yunshang: "Sister, do you want to go back to enjoy the plum?" ”

Yunshang shook her head, although she didn't like or even hated Qin Wenyue, she had learned and got used to the posture of everyone in the capital talking: "I remember the game of chess a year ago, if it's too late, the concubine will lose again, so let's enjoy the plum next time." ”

Min'er looked at Qin Wenyue, and she stepped aside with interest, but when the two walked in front of her, Qin Wenyue deliberately said: "In a few days, the courtiers will leave Beijing, if the lady has the heart to appreciate the plum, she must remember to come to the Longevity Palace these days." ”

Qin Wenyue thought that when she heard that she was leaving, these two people must be very happy, and behind this happiness was fear of herself. But the queen's face was faint, and so was Jiang Yunsheng, they simply agreed, and without saying a word, they walked away.

"Miss Qin......" The palace maid on the side saw the dark clouds on Qin Wenyue's face, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Qin Wenyue suddenly woke up, returned to her usual gentleness and responded: "It's okay, the Queen Mother is waiting, let's go." ”

And on this side, after walking away, Min'er asked Yunsheng: "I want to look back at her." ”

Yunshang said: "It's best not to see her again for the rest of your life." ”

Min'er sighed lightly: "Actually, now that I think about it, I was too radical in dealing with the matter of Jinxiu, and quickly pushed the contradiction between the emperor and Qin Zhuang to the forefront, which could have lasted at least another year or two, and the emperor's strength could have been stronger." But having said that, it is not a way for Qin Wenyue to cause trouble in the capital, there are priorities and trade-offs between pros and cons, and it is impossible to cover everything. ”

However, Yun Sheng was not interested in these words, and Min'er saw that she was indifferent, so she didn't continue, but asked coldly: "You and Shen Zhe, still don't say a word?" ”

After the splendid incident, although Yunshang was no longer sad about Shen Zhe's "betrayal", she couldn't find the entrance to the relationship between husband and wife, and it was not a cold war between each other. But other than that, there was no communication, at least before that, Yunshang would deliberately ask Shen Zhe if he had anything to explain to the queen, or deliberately told him that the queen was fine.

Those things looked stupid, but it was the original intention of her to communicate with Shen Zhe, but she did it, and it looked inexplicable.

But now, the general's mansion is lifeless, and neither of them has taken a step first.

Xiang Ye asked Min'er to watch and not have to interfere, saying that his younger brother was stupid, but when he was stupid, he would understand. However, the time for enlightenment is too long, and it looks like spring is about to bloom.

"There is a sentence that has never been told to you, after the matter of Jinxiu, the Queen Mother said to me personally, even if there is no Jinxiu, if you don't move for a year or two, you can't blame her for being ruthless." Min'er said, "I don't know what to say to you." ”

Yunshang smiled bitterly: "I understand, Niangniang is not a haven here, I can't let you down." ”

Min'er shook her head and said, "Don't let yourself down, Yunshang, have you lost half of your enthusiasm and courage?" ”
