341 Your Highness, let go of your slaves
Qiu Jingxuan was stunned, seemed to be surprised, and his eyes fell on the queen blankly.
"After becoming a colt, your only responsibility in life is to make my daughter happy. At that time, you were Sheng Yuan's only husband, and her unhappiness was all your sins, and the Great Qi country has never lacked talents, and the emperor will want you to be a man who can make his daughter happy, not a brave general. Min'er's seemingly gentle smile has a formidable majesty, "You think it out for yourself." ”
Qiu Jingxuan's heart tightened, but he was not intimidated by this, the future he planned, when he had a "sin", when he Xiang Yuan fell into misfortune, the woman standing in front of him at this moment had already disappeared from the world, no one would come to sanction his sins, and he did not need to take any responsibility for Xiang Yuan's happiness. So he is a colt, and he will not live up to his life.
"No matter what kind of life Sheng Yuan chooses, the emperor and I will support her and encourage her, whether she chooses you or someone else, whether your surname is Qiu or your surname is He, it doesn't matter." Min'er slowly walked back to the top of the hall, sat down again, and said, "It's just that the emperor and I will never allow anyone in this world to hurt her." ”
Qiu Jingxuan was deeply moved, without words, he was nothing, and what qualifications did he have to promise.
"What I said to you today, you can tell Sheng Yuan, maybe you can think about what to do in the future together." Min'er said, "She is so close to you, you accompany you every day, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on, you don't have to pretend to be stupid, and the emperor and I won't obstruct it, I just hope that you can all be well." ”
Qiu Jingxuan's expression was solemn, and he simply said "yes", and he couldn't find the right words to deal with the queen.
Min'er commanded: "Stand down, I still have to talk to your sister about family life." ”
Qiu Jingxuan curtsied and bowed respectfully and withdrew from the hall respectfully, and the second prince outside the door had hurried back, and the princess and the second princess did not go to the garden, each of them had a nervous face, but Qiu Jingxuan smiled: "Niangniang invited the princess and the princess to go in, Niangniang didn't know that His Royal Highness had arrived." ”
Qiu Jingrou didn't have time to say anything to her brother, so she hurriedly left the hall, Xiang Feng was a few steps late, looked at Qiu Jingxuan and asked, "What is the queen looking for you?" ”
"Just a few ordinary instructions." Qiu Jingxuan felt that it was not appropriate to say anything at this moment, and his expression was also passed on to Xiang Feng.
Xiang Feng then instructed: "It's okay, I have a few things to ask you, I will stop by your house before sunset, if you are fine, wait for me to come." ”
Qiu Jingxuan clenched his fists, and saw that the second prince also followed into the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and followed the people who came to lead the way, and when he walked out of the prince's mansion, the people in his house waited in front of the door and told him: "The eldest princess has returned to the palace." ”
In the imperial city, Xiang Yuan stood in the center of the empty Hanyuan Palace, although the specifications of this Hanyuan Hall were much larger than the Qingming Pavilion in front, but the palace people told her that it was far less spacious than the Shangyang Hall in the past. But there is nothing in the Shangyang Hall except a chair, even if she ran all over the ground in the Shangyang Hall when she was a child, the palace people were not afraid that she would bump into it, but the Shangyang Hall was isolated in the middle of the Taiye Pool, and they were worried every day, afraid that the princess would fall into the water.
However, Xiang Yuan didn't remember anything.
She stood here in a daze for a long time, and the palace people didn't dare to disturb her, but Xiang Yuan thought that she would think about a lot of things, and she would worry about what her mother was going to say when she saw Qiu Jingxuan in private, but at this moment, her mind was blank, as if she suddenly felt that everything before was unreal, and she didn't understand what she was doing these days.
How could love be so terrible, did she really fall in love with Qiu Jingxuan, but what did she love about him? Why is there a person who can compete with his parents and sisters in his own heart?
"Princess." A palace man came forward from the door, stood aside and said, "The news from the prince's mansion is that Niangniang has left to return to the palace, and she will arrive in half an hour." ”
Xiang Yuan woke up and nodded in a daze, seeing that the sky was bright outside the window, it was not yet noon, since his mother was not in the prince's mansion for lunch, it could be seen that he had no intention of visiting the second brother's house at all, just to find an excuse to go there so that it was convenient to see Qiu Jingxuan.
"Will the Queen Mother say anything to him to keep him away from me?" The lack of confidence for no reason made Xiang Yuan feel that he was too ignorant, is there anything in the world that the father and the queen mother can't agree to her? But she is really weak-hearted, so weak that she doesn't dare to face her parents at all.
"I'm going to say hello to my great-grandmother." Xiang Yuan said, "If the queen mother comes back and wants to see me, you come to the other courtyard to find me, and I will be there." ”
The palace maids responded, and saw the princess go out alone, except for a few who served on weekdays, the others did not dare to follow at all, and as soon as the princess left, the idle palace maids whispered to each other, and even made private bets, many people felt that the queen would not let the princess marry her nephew.
And Xiang Yuan walked through the imperial city, walked all the way to the back door, and met the third prince with a few eunuchs to the west. In this imperial city, except for the palaces of the previous dynasty and several palaces dedicated to the ancestors, as well as the Queen Mother's Longevity Palace, and the Anle Palace of Shuguifei, all the palaces are vacant, even the palace maids and eunuchs who are responsible for cleaning each palace have another place to live, even Xiang Yuan, who has been playing everywhere since he was a child, will not go to too remote places.
At this moment, there was nowhere to go, but he just wanted to avoid his mother so he chose to go to Mrs. Qiu, Xiang Yuan saw that there was something new in the third brother, so he turned around and followed all the way, and he was afraid that he would disturb his brother, so he ordered the palace maids to wait in place, she followed all the way for a long way, and the three princes in front of him had already taken people into a courtyard where the palace maids lived.
Passing through the uninhabited palace, it is not deserted here, the original palace maids went in and out, and as soon as the three princes arrived, there was no movement. Xiang Yuan felt curious, and was about to follow to see what was going on, but saw that the third brother was dragging a palace maid's hand and almost dragged her out, while the thin palace maid was desperately hiding from the door and refused to come out.
"Third brother." Xiang Yuan ran forward, her brothers were all gentle-tempered people, and suddenly made such a rude move, which couldn't help but make people worry, "Third brother, what are you doing, what's wrong with this palace maid?" ”
The palace maid looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, as if she was sick, her expression was haggard and her face was pale, but if she looked closely, she was also born with beautiful eyebrows and very beautiful eyes, because of Xiang Yuan's arrival, Xiang Hao was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, the palace maid broke free from the hands of the third prince, turned around and drilled into the door.
"Where are you going, you have the ability to escape from this palace." Xiang Hao caught up with her and grabbed her, but if you look closely, although the action is rude, it is not rude, and even a little intimate, in Xiang Yuan's opinion, her brother does not seem to be bullying a little palace maid, but protecting her.
"Your Highness, you let go of the slaves...... Palace, Your Highness...... "The palace maid was pleading, but gradually her pale face showed a painful look, and her body became more and more weak, and suddenly her eyes closed, and she fainted in the arms of the third prince.
Xiang Hao was shocked, hugged the palace maid and shouted: "Spring rain? What's wrong with you in the spring rain? While scolding the eunuchs around him, "What are you doing in a daze, find the imperial doctor." ”
A few middle-aged grandmothers came out of the courtyard, but saw Xiang Hao glaring viciously: "What did you do to her?" ”
The grandmothers hurriedly defended: "Your Highness, we haven't done anything, we have been sick since the spring rain came, and she herself refuses to ask the doctor for treatment, and we can't do anything." ”
Xiang Yuan was confused, obviously his brother didn't plan to explain anything to her, he picked up the palace maid named Chunyu horizontally, and walked away in stride, the direction was towards Anle Palace, and Xiang Yuan followed all the way.
When the queen returned to the palace, the imperial doctor had already been to Anle Palace, although there was no clear word about what happened, but the third prince went to make a fuss, and the palace people talked about it, and the queen mother had already called her grandson at this time, and it seemed that the queen mother should have known what was going on.
Xiang Yuan has been following the side, naturally he has seen and heard, and when he learned that his mother had returned, he couldn't care about his own affairs for a while, so he ran back to Hanyuan Hall to tell his mother.
Min'er was changing her clothes, and when she saw her daughter breaking into the door, she said good-naturedly: "It's getting more and more unruly, do you want to learn it from scratch?" ”
The daughter ordered the palace maids to retreat, leaving only Qingya and a few of her mother's cronies, and she said, "Queen Mother, third brother, he ...... He fell in love with the palace maid in his palace, and let the palace maid get pregnant. ”
Min'er's face turned pale, obviously angry, Xiang Yuan was frightened, but fortunately, she didn't do anything wrong, so she continued to tell Fang Cai's situation tremblingly.
It turned out that after the palace maid found out that she was pregnant, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, so she left the Anle Palace on her own initiative, wanting to secretly kill the child herself, and did not dare to approach the third prince again. And Xiang Hao disappeared his sweetheart, and initially ordered the eunuch to come to her to go back, but sent back a few hurtful words, he sulked for a few days, but he couldn't let go of the spring rain anyway, and today he was hot, and he went to find someone in person, and happened to be met by Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan said simply and neatly, raised his eyes to see his mother, it was rare to see his mother so angry, and Mama Yun had already gone to find someone, and the few minions in charge of Anle Palace came tremblingly, so they kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying that they were hiding this matter, and it was the third prince who pleaded repeatedly.
"Even if I have a child, you are hiding it from me." Min'er was so angry that she didn't know what to do, and she was not her son.
Xiang Yuan stepped forward to help his mother sit down, and said gently: "Queen Mother, you are angry, and the imperial grandmother is still waiting for you to make up your mind." ”
"Where's your father?"
Xiang Yuan said: "Father and uncle, and a few ministers are discussing matters behind closed doors in the Qingming Pavilion, and no one is allowed to disturb them, and I don't know when it will end." ”
Min'er calmed herself down and instructed her daughter: "You wait outside the Qingming Pavilion, if the queen mother doesn't come, ask him to go to the Longevity Palace when you see your father, don't make him too angry, what did you say to the queen mother, tell your father the same." ”
Min'er sighed again: "Just because your third brother is not the son of the queen mother, this kind of thing is not a big deal in the palace." ”
"What the queen mother said is, but the third brother ......" Xiang Yuan looked helpless, "The third brother said to the imperial grandmother that he wanted to marry that Chunyu as a concubine."
