Xiang Hong was obviously very disappointed, blaming himself for being the eldest brother, the eldest child, and he couldn't be coquettish like his younger brother, but when he was his younger brother's age, he hadn't even seen his father's face.
Zhao motioned for the two daughters-in-law to stay, and quietly retreated, making it easier for the young man to speak, and the daughters-in-law had long been instructed by their mother-in-law not to say what they shouldn't say. Wang Jieyu saw that they were just polite, and gradually let down her guard, but she never let go of her son's hand, after Han Meiren's matter, she hoped that she and her son could stay away from the queen as much as possible, that woman was too ruthless.
But on this side, when Min'er teased the little prince, she saw Xiang Hong's longing eyes between the light and dark of the fireworks, although his hand was tightly held by his mother, and he was not allowed to make a mistake, but the yearning in the child's eyes was distressing.
"The Emperor's ......" Min'er firmly remembered her grandmother's teachings, she is trying to put herself in the right position, but the desire in her heart will never be abandoned, she will never want to coexist with these women. But the child, is innocent.
Xiang Ye heard Min'er whispering, pretending to look at Xiang Hong inadvertently, although the child didn't look at him, he lowered his head and seemed to be very lost.
"I see." Xiang Ye said with relief, "You are still careful, I always take care of one thing and lose the other, and the two children are too busy to be busy." ”
It didn't take long for Min'er to hug the little prince, but Xiao Feng'er was very sensible, saying that he was older, and the queen couldn't hold it, so she stood on the ground obediently, holding Min'er's hand, and her father was not by her side, so he said that he was not afraid.
Min'er likes this child so much, but unfortunately Concubine Shu must not want her to think so.
Over there, the attendants brought long sticks to light the fireworks, and when the emperor went to light the biggest fireworks, Xiang Ye stepped forward and turned to look at the eldest son: "Hong'er, come." ”
The eldest prince here was stunned, and Wang Jieyu was also surprised, but the son didn't wait for her to agree, so he broke free and ran towards the emperor excitedly.
Xiang Ye took his son's hand and lit the last fireworks together, illuminating the night like day. On the ground is the emperor's tall figure, followed by a small prince, such a beautiful scene, is the implication of the royal inheritance. It's a pity that the eldest prince came from a humble background, but it's a pity that the queen of the middle palace has not come out for a year.
This banquet was held by the emperor especially for the empress, and the entire Qiu clan was invited to attend, in the eyes of the ministers, the emperor should have been the expansion of the power of the old dynasty in the place, but because he fell in love with a woman, he was pushing Qiu Zhenyu to the top.
But in Qiu Zhenyu's view, all this is the emperor trying to slowly kill him invisibly, and the hostility between them has never disappeared.
The banquet dispersed, the eldest prince happily followed his mother back to Haitang Palace, Wang Jieyu silently washed and changed clothes for him, and his son chattered about tonight's events, Wang Jieyu couldn't help asking: "Hong'er, do you like your father so much?" ”
Xiang Hong nodded: "Of course I like it, my father is the greatest hero in the world, and I want to be like my father." ”
Wang Jieyu looked at her son in confusion, but they are not related by blood, if it is a natural closeness of blood, it is not father and son at all, the son is just simple worship, right? She looked wistfully at her son's face, who was becoming more and more like his biological father, but fortunately no one would remember his father's face, and no one would ever see him.
"Hong'er, my father is very busy, you have to be measured, don't pester your father all the time." Wang Jieyu said, "Your younger brother is still young, even if he is wrong, his father will remember him young, and his father must hope that you are an obedient and sensible child." ”
"I know, don't worry." The one-year-old child, who was much more sensible than last year, obediently went to bed and reminded Wang, "Mother also rests early." ”
Wang Jieyu took a fan to dispel the heat for him, patted her son to see him sleep peacefully, but her heart couldn't calm down no matter what, so many years have passed, why did she start to be scared?
In the Shangyang Palace, the emperor was bathing, Min'er was too hot to accompany him, and she was drying her hair by Qingya, speaking of tonight's night banquet, Qingya's eyes were not idle, she saw Zhao and his daughter-in-law approaching Wang Jieyu, and so coincidentally, when the emperor wanted his eldest son to light the fireworks, everyone saw the two young ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion behind Wang Jieyu.
Qingya said: "It's okay if you walk together at will, but the slave maid saw the Zhao family take them to deliberately walk behind Wang Jieyu, you know, the other ladies are not happy to be with Wang Jieyu, she always takes Her Highness alone on the side." However, others may seem to be just a coincidence, and they may not be paying attention. ”
"It's really strange, if she deliberately approaches, what idea does she want to hit on the Wang family? I haven't entered the palace for more than half a year, and as soon as I come in, I'll look for Wang? Min'er shook the fan and instructed Qingya, "Continue to be careful, but don't startle the snake." ”
And at this moment, Xiang Ye, who had taken a bath, broke in with a hot body, Qingya immediately retreated, seeing that the emperor was hot and frizzy, Min'er shook her fan and stepped forward, so she said: "It's good to be quiet, there is no cooler place in the palace than Shangyang Palace." ”
Xiang Ye tore open the placket of his nightgown, revealing his strong chest, stood in the tuyere, and said: "It's been a few years, and I'm still not used to the summer in the capital, the summer in Kizhou is very cool, you see it's so late, and it's still hot." ”
Just now in front of the ministers, the emperor was calm and relaxed, but at this time he was like an impetuous child, Min'er patiently fanned him to drive away the heat, wiped his hair and sweat, Xiang Ye drank a bowl of cold sour plum soup, and finally stopped.
And his hand touched Min'er's skin, which was cold and tender, so that people couldn't help but want to lean on, but Min'er opened it with a fan: "The emperor will go out of the city early tomorrow morning, and he won't sleep well tonight, and he will suffer from heat stroke on horseback tomorrow." Wait until tomorrow to come back, tomorrow will be good? ”
The emperor responded lazily, but remembering tonight's events, he said happily: "I have finally made up for some of the shortcomings in my heart, Min'er, it has been a year, this year with you by my side, it is much more down-to-earth than in the past few years, I can slowly do what I want to do for the court." ”
Min'er was stunned in her heart, she noticed tonight that only Yunshang was enjoying the banquet in the Antai Palace, and when the fireworks were set off, she was also standing alone beside the Queen Mother, Shen Zhe was nowhere to be seen, and Qingya told her afterwards that General Shen was patrolling the palace with his guards.
Such a trivial matter, the emperor lost it to Shen Zhe again, since the beginning of spring, Shen Zhe has not had a major event in his hands, nothing more than these small things to inspect and guard, or the sending of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and when Min'er first entered Beijing, General Shen played a pivotal role in the imperial court.
Seeing that the emperor was indifferent, he didn't plan to mention these things at all, Min'er couldn't be self-righteous, just wait and see what happened, the queen mother was not in a hurry, and it was not her turn to point fingers.
In the general's mansion, Yunsheng, who arrived home earlier than her husband, has not changed her dress and has been waiting at the door of the house. It took a long time to bring Shen Zhe back, and he was really blamed: "It's so late, why are you standing here feeding mosquitoes?" ”
Seeing that her husband was not in a bad mood, Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help complaining: "When it is so festive today, why did the emperor send you to inspect, you are a dignified general." ”
Shen Zhe smiled: "It is my responsibility to protect the emperor. ”
Yunshang followed him back to the room, Shen Zhe was so hot that she took off her coat, but she stood aside and didn't hold a hand, and ordered the maids to retreat, and said seriously: "Xianggong, in fact, you are very aggrieved in your heart, don't bear it with me, okay?" In the past six months, the emperor has been very strange to you, isn't it, you can't do anything you want to do, with all due respect, the things you do, the father-in-law Zhou next to the emperor can also do it. ”
"Nonsense."
"Do you think you really didn't show your face?" Yunshang was so distressed, "Isn't the emperor and you on peace, does it have anything to do with me?" ”
"Why are you getting more and more cranky, it has nothing to do with you, don't talk nonsense when you enter the palace." Shen Zhe sighed, "I don't know how to explain it to you, I can only tell you that I'm fine, if there is something on my mind, I will tell you, okay?" ”
Yunshang shook her head: "You won't say it, I know." ”
The room was quiet for a moment, Shen Zhe slowly took off his coat, and finally spoke: "Any founding monarch starts with the closest people around him, Yunshang, you have to be prepared in your heart, I may not be as beautiful as before, but I will not let you suffer, this is inevitable." ”
"What will the emperor do to you?" Yunshang was worried, "I guess other people have noticed it, what about the Queen Mother, why doesn't the Queen Mother help you." ”
"The Queen Mother enjoys happiness in the deep palace, as long as no one tells her, she doesn't know anything, you do this very well." Shen Zhe told his wife, "Don't go into the palace and talk nonsense, remember?" ”
Yunshang had tears in her eyes: "Are you willing to give up your life for the emperor, and the emperor doesn't trust you?" Last year, I still let you enjoy the treatment of the prince, why did it change as soon as you turned around? ”
Shen Zhe shook his head: "Yunshang, if I say that there is no change, do you believe it or not?" Don't think nonsense, just follow me, I won't be bullied, and I won't let you suffer, and the matter between me and the emperor can't be explained clearly for a few days and nights. It's easy to attack the city and it's hard to defend the city, Yunshang, you also have to be considerate of the emperor's difficulties. ”
"Worst...... What will happen? Yunshang's heart has been hanging for a long time, and today he finally broke it, but he was calm.
"With the Queen Mother here, what can I do?" Shen Zheyun is light and light, but the breath between his eyebrows is not a joke, he has stepped down from the position of the past three years, and retreated to a position that he can't imagine, newcomers have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, the emperor boldly uses newcomers and even the forces of the old dynasty, and in half a year, the situation of the court has been very different.
What is even more incomprehensible is that the emperor has given Qiu Zhenyu a faction of forces, more and more power and interests.
"Xianggong." Yunshang's voice became weaker.
"Don't be upset, you say." Shen Zhe is not gentle.
"I look like I'm pregnant."
