Some words, if not made clear, will always hang there, but if they are clear, what can they do?

At this moment, Concubine Shu looked at the emperor, the tears in her eyes were different from the emotions contained when she saw Xiang Ye in the Antai Palace, she put her broken heart in her stomach well, and said calmly: "The concubine has nothing to ask, but can the emperor promise the concubine one thing?" ”

Xiang Ye said: "You talk about it first." ”

Concubine Shu smiled bitterly: "If the queen asks, the emperor will also listen to it before making a promise, right?" ”

The emperor was indifferent: "Then you're done asking?" ”

"Nope." Concubine Shu's expression was very firm, she stood straight in front of Xiang Ye, her throat seemed to swallow something, bitter or helpless? Who knows. She said solemnly: "If the queen mother gives birth to a prince, can the emperor treat your sons fairly, Feng'er Hao'er, and the queen's prince, who can do it in the future, who will be the prince, regardless of the eldest or younger, can the emperor agree to the concubines?" ”

"This is not what I want to promise you, this is what I want to promise the people of the country and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. The Xiang clan has been the emperor since my generation, and I must let the country be passed down from generation to generation, and I will carefully choose the successor, as you wish, regardless of the eldest and younger, the sage will prevail. Xiang Ye said calmly, "But what do you think ......?"

But after the words, he swallowed most of it, Concubine Shu was looking forward to the emperor saying it, and Xiang Ye didn't want to say it anyway. He wanted to say that Min'er didn't bother to fight with anyone at all, but if she said this in front of Concubine Shu, the meaning would definitely be different to her ears.

"It's time for me to go, you should rest sooner." Xiang Ye finally put down this sentence and left Concubine Shu without looking back.

The wind that had just calmed down swept in again, Er Zhen hugged Shuguifei, and felt her arms trembling, was it cold? Still chilling?

Xiang Ye walked back to Qingming Pavilion, his heart was inexplicably heavy, he received a letter from Min'er yesterday, Min'er said that if he gave birth to a son-in-law, he would immediately canonize the prince, but he just said that to Shuguifei.

A few months later, will you give an explanation to the Jiang family, or an explanation to Min'er? In the end, he failed to deal with all this, the road ahead, how to go on, Min'er is too strong, she will not escape the world in Qinzhou for the rest of her life, but she will definitely rather be broken than broken.

From the first time he saw her, Xiang Ye was convinced.

The wind was howling, which made people upset, but Zhou Huai suddenly sneakily stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's here." ”

The emperor's heart trembled, and he hurriedly followed the direction pointed by Zhou Huai, and broke into the quiet warm pavilion alone, and the person he hadn't seen for a long time appeared in front of him, their brothers had never been separated for such a long time, Shen Zhe was no longer the gentle and handsome son, the scorching sun and wind of Qiangshui Pass made him strong and rough.

When Shen Zhe saw his brother at first glance, his heart was hot, the emperor walked towards him and stretched out a strong fist, Shen Zhe smiled slightly, and clenched his fists. I still remember that when the plague was raging in Xiping Mansion, the emperor was dying, and their brothers were almost separated by yin and yang, there is no more loyal minister than Shen Zhe in this world, and there is no younger brother who is more obedient than Shen Zhe, there are several people in this world, Xiang Ye is willing to protect with his life, his younger brother is one of them, and Shen Zhe is not like this to him.

"It's a pity that your daughter-in-law and sons have all gone to Qinzhou." The emperor took off his coat and stood by the fire to warm his hands, after that fist, there was no excitement and emotion of reunion after a long absence, such as every day when they were together in the past, Xiang Ye said, "It's not the right time for you to come back, didn't I tell you not to come back?" ”

Shen Zhe said: "I was going to Qinzhou, so I took a look around to see the emperor and left immediately." ”

Xiang Ye glared at him: "You are not small, I have allowed you to go to Qinzhou?" ”

Shen Zhe smiled: "I want to surprise Yunsheng, I miss her too much." ”

The emperor scolded with a smile: "Deliberately to show your deep affection? In my eyes, you will always be a stinky brat and really think of yourself as a man? ”

Shen Zhe said seriously: "I have a son." ”

The emperor laughed loudly, but immediately realized that he shouldn't let the people outside notice something, restrained his smile, and said, "Go ahead, treat Yunshang well." ”

Shen Zhe took out a thick book-like thing, opened it and opened it with dense words, he handed it to the emperor and said: "The army of Qiangshuiguan has been formed, and it is waiting for the emperor to dispatch at any time." Obviously, we will continue to build roads and divert water, build cities, and practice martial arts in secret without delay, and the emperor will give an order, and the army can be invincible from the south to the north. ”

Xiang Ye pressed the book and put one hand on Shen Zhe's shoulder: "With you, I have no worries, you must remember that even if I run out of ammunition and food on the front line in the future, or even die there, you are not allowed to bring the army to the rescue." Defend the capital, guard the Queen Mother and my wife and children, this is your only mission. Compared with the heroism of expanding the territory, as long as I live, you will be aggrieved for a lifetime, but only by hiding your strength can I sit back and relax. In this life, I owe you. ”

Shen Zhe's face was calm: "Brother, didn't we already say it?" ”

Xiang Ye smiled bitterly: "For you, I never worry about it, and I am also full of confidence in this country." Only the harem ......" the emperor sighed, "like you, how good should it be?" ”

Shen Zhe said: "It's better to go with the flow, you don't believe in yourself, don't you believe in the queen?" ”

The emperor's deep eyes looked at his younger brother, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "That's right." ”

The brothers talked for a long time until late at night, and at dawn, Shen Zhe quietly disappeared from the palace, no one knew that he had ever appeared, even if he arrived in Qinzhou, maybe someone was staring at him all the time, and it was difficult to find that he had gone around the capital.

Even Min'er didn't know that Shen Zhe came to Qinzhou to give Yunshang a surprise, but in those days, Yunshang seemed to have encountered something very good, the sun was shining all day long, smiling like a flower, and walking was also jumping and jumping, even if Shen Yun cried hoarsely, she was happy to coax her son, and after more than half a month, Min'er knew that it was Shen Zhe who had secretly come to see her.

Until that time, Yunshang also smirked lightly, Min'er saw it in her eyes, sweet in her heart, pure love, how beautiful.

Qinzhou is comfortable and quiet, there are no waves in the capital, the emperor's pure heart and few desires soon made the harem concubines die, and the concubine Shu Guifei concentrated on assisting her son to study and enlightenment, except for some occasional natural disasters throughout the country**, the days are so calm that people can't feel the passage of time.

In the scorching summer, the emperor left the capital to go to Qinzhou, the queen was about to give birth, the peaceful life in the palace finally rippled, when sending the holy car out of Beijing, Concubine Shu held a string of prayer beads in her hand, it was Erzhen who went to Huguo Temple for her to beg, she prayed every day that the little princess in the queen's womb was safe and healthy, this seems to be a positive prayer, it seems that even God can't find fault with her.

At the end of June, the queen gave birth in Qinzhou and gave birth to the second princess of Daqi.

When she returned to the palace, she walked through the empty Shangyang Palace, stood beside the Taiye Pool, and said to the babbling son: "Hao'er, you will love your sister well in the future, and the queen will give birth to many sisters for you." ”

The young prince looked up at his mother, smiling brightly, Concubine Shu touched his head, and raised her eyes to see Er Zhen coming with a face, they were meeting in the pool of Tai Liquid, Concubine Shu was very calm, and the people who came were not in a hurry, only Er Zhen's face was stiff like a dried paste.

She led the little prince to stand aside, and heard Concubine Shu said: "The queen's drinking water, be extra careful, cook soup and make tea, cook and bathe, don't be lazy, I will rest assured that I will hand it over to you." ”

The person who came received the order, bowed down and didn't know what to say, Er Zhen didn't hear clearly, the little prince babbled non-stop, I don't know what she was doing, so she had to be distracted, and when the person left generously, Concubine Shu allowed her to get close to the child, and the concubine personally picked up her son and laughed hard: "The little guy is heavy again, my brother was not as good as you when he was a child." ”

Er Zhen's eyes chased the man away, and Concubine Shu saw it, and said coldly: "What do you want?" ”

"The slave didn't think about anything." Erzhen pursed her lips tightly.

"Then don't think about anything." Concubine Shu smiled, hugged her son and walked away happily.

The group here is far away from the Taiye Pool, Xiangwei in the Begonia Palace happened to pass by, the mosquito coils in her house were exhausted, the mosquitoes in the late summer and early autumn were very poisonous, she was bitten and couldn't stand it, so she went to ask someone for some. Who knew that Qingya had already taken care of her, and people were very polite when they saw Xiangwei, and blamed themselves for not doing their best to send her things to Begonia Palace.

Xiangwei came back happily, but saw the scene by the Taiye pool. Maybe Concubine Shugui was not afraid of being seen, so she met strangers by the Taiye Pool so generously, but the look on Er Zhen's face was too strange.

Far away in Qinzhou, the emperor happily carried the little princess to the queen mother's house, and before entering the door, he heard his mother saying to Mama Lin: "Although it is good to have a daughter, but I have not been here for more than half a year in vain. ”

Xiang Ye smiled helplessly, turned into the door, pretended not to hear, hugged the swaddling clothes and asked his mother: "This time you have the name of your granddaughter, don't be dissatisfied." ”

I don't want the Queen Mother to say: "Born in Qinzhou, take the word qin, and their sisters' names will have their origins." ”
