King Zhongling is nine years old this year, and it is a good thing that the crown princess is finally happy again.

However, when she found out about this fetus, she rushed to the "death" of the prince's biological mother, Cui Guifei, not to mention the big celebration, and she was very low-key during the entire pregnancy.

This time the production met the emperor's big line, from Cuihua Mountain to the capital in a hurry, all the way bumpy, cold and hot, despite the imperial doctor's efforts to protect the fetus, after returning to the imperial capital, except for the first three days of crying, has been lying on the couch to recuperate - it is really not smooth.

When they heard that she had successfully given birth to a little prince, everyone was relieved, and only asked if it was Ji Tailai.

Who thought that everyone would prepare a congratulatory gift, and he heard the bad news: the little prince who had just landed was gone!

At this time, I was a little dumbfounded inside and out: after entering the palace like this, is it Daohe, or is it annoyed?

"Don't cry, mother!" Tian looked at the eldest daughter distressedly, their mother and daughter were originally very close, and they didn't pay so much attention to talking in private, but since the Wei family's position wavered at a critical moment last year, there has been a gap in the end.

This will make the crown princess the queen again, so the Tian family doesn't dare to call her by her name like before, "If you are going to fall ill like this in the confinement, the mother is in her prime, why worry that there will be no more heirs in the future?" Besides, what about Zhong Ling? ”

"Mother, you don't want to think about it, how old is this child and Zhong Ling?" The crown princess was sad, her fetus was actually not very good, mainly because she didn't know it when she was just pregnant, she was too worried, it hurt her heart, and affected the fetus, and then Cui Guifei passed away, and she was a mound woman as her own daughter-in-law, and she had to be busy - it can be said that she failed to recuperate well in the first three months.

Later, the situation stabilized, and she had a chance to breathe, but when she was about to give birth, this series of changes occurred, and the long-awaited child was held in her hands, and she was separated forever!

How could she stand this?

Even if I knew that I couldn't cry my child anymore at this moment, I still couldn't help crying, "What's more, I lost my vitality before I gave birth this time, and the doctor said that I have to recuperate well in the next few years, which means that it is difficult to conceive - can I have a second child?" Although Zhong Ling is good, it is too lonely to have only one biological flesh and blood! ”

The Tian family also felt very uncomfortable when they heard it, both public and private, and the Wei family now hoped that the crown princess would be able to have more children and more blessings.

It's just that the little prince is gone and can't be resurrected, so she can only sigh: "You also remember that the imperial doctor asked you to recuperate, but now that you are crying like this, how can you recuperate?" If you really want to add a brother to Zhong Ling as a companion, this will be the right way to collect sorrow and raise it well! ”

He lowered his voice and said, "The first emperor and His Majesty have a deep relationship between father and son, and there are rumors in the foreign dynasty that Your Majesty is determined to keep filial piety for the first emperor for three years, instead of replacing the day with the month - in the next twenty-six months, since Your Majesty wants to keep filial piety, he will not get close to the harem!" If you don't take advantage of this time to recuperate your body, if Your Majesty adds a new person at that time, then it will ......"

It was only after saying it that the crown princess was persuaded to accept her tears - but of course the pain of losing her son could not be alleviated.

Regarding the death of the little prince, in fact, not only the crown princess was grief-stricken, but Emperor Duanhua was also deeply distressed.

After all, he lost his loving father, and then his young son, it would be a disaster to leave it alone.

Strictly speaking, Emperor Duanhua is even more uncomfortable than the crown princess, and the crown princess and Emperor Xianjia are just daughters-in-law in the end, so they can't talk about deep feelings. Regarding the death of her father-in-law, the crown princess was actually a little relieved.

But for Emperor Duanhua, it was really painful to the bone marrow.

"Now that my father has been buried, can the enthronement ceremony of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the two imperial aunts be held?" Emperor Duanhua locked himself alone in the imperial study for a long time before he came out, summoned His Majesty Gu Shao, and discussed with him, "Although my wife has lived in Weiyang Palace, she has not yet been officially registered, and it is not the same in the end. ”

Gu Shao knew that he said this, in fact, it was mainly to give the crown princess a book - the queen mother and the queen mother have not recovered from their illness, and it is difficult to get up, isn't it tossing them to have another ceremony?

"Wei Niangniang is the wife of His Majesty, and it is natural that she is in the middle palace. As for the promotion ceremony of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, the minister heard that the two ladies have not reduced their grief so far, and they must mention this matter, and they will provoke the two ladies to be sad, so it is better to slow down. The decree has been issued, and the name has been decided. Gu Shao figured out that Emperor Duanhua mentioned this matter at this moment, mainly because it was to comfort the crown princess.

After bowing his head, he said quietly, "But since Your Majesty wants to be registered, will the prince of Zhongling County and several other imperial heirs also be promoted to the throne?" After all, according to the system of this dynasty, the son of the crown prince is the king of the county, and the son of the son of heaven is the king. Now His Majesty is in the ninety-five, and his eldest son is still the king of the county, which is not in accordance with the rules. ”

"Zhong Ling will be the crown prince directly!" Emperor Duanhua didn't hear Gu Shao say this to test his attitude towards Lichu, but even if he heard it, he would say so.

First, he has gotten along with the crown princess more and more harmoniously for most of the past six months, which will make the princess lose her young son, so he naturally has to find ways to comfort him, and the book is what he expected, but there are not many surprises, how can he add a prince to be enough;

The second is that Emperor Duanhua himself has been a prince since he was a child - he is very satisfied with his growth experience, and is full of gratitude and reverence for his father, Emperor Xianjia, so when he raised his son, of course, he also imitated Emperor Xianjia. Therefore, there was no resistance to the early establishment of the crown prince, but he thought that doing so would help discourage the ambitions of the other sons.

…… After all, King Zhongling has an advantage over Emperor Duanhua, that is, he is not only the eldest son, but also the son-in-law, and he is impeccable in his appearance.

But after the new monarch finished canonizing, the queen followed the crown prince - in the eyes of those who care, he was a little worried about his brother, so he set up the crown prince early to show that there was a successor, so as to stop the brother's bad thoughts!

The brothers here, of course, refer specifically to King Su and King Xiang.

According to the tacit agreement reached between Emperor Xianjia and all parties during his lifetime, after his death, these two kings will be vassalized.

Originally, they didn't plan to stay on it, mainly because the Empress Dowager Su was very bad during this time, as her biological son, even if she was not nominally, she was thinking about her mother after all.

Therefore, King Su privately asked Emperor Duanhua to wait for the Empress Dowager Su's situation to get better before becoming a vassal.

Emperor Duanhua agreed to this matter very happily, after all, the Empress Dowager Su is not his mother, and now she is indeed very sick, if there is no King Su to take care of her, and there will be three long and two short when you look back, how can people not suspect that the new monarch is harsh to his mother-in-law, knowing that his mother-in-law is seriously ill, and sending his only parent and child away from afar, deliberately forcing his mother-in-law to die?

And since King Su didn't leave, Princess Xiang was reluctant to act as the eldest princess and his wife, so she pretended to be confused and stayed.

As a result, the crown prince stood like this, and the Empress Dowager Su took the lead in urging King Su to move: "Now it is not as good as when the first emperor was there, but now it is certainly generous, how can my brother be in charge of the family and my father in charge of the house?" You don't have to worry about me anymore, and you can take Mai Sakura and go to the fiefdom - as long as you are well, I will be relieved! ”

King Su went to Xuanming Palace on the same day to ask for a vassal - Emperor Duanhua only realized the impact of the crown prince's move to be crowned at this time, but he didn't plan to let these two younger brothers stay in the imperial capital for a long time, because he heard King Su say that the Empress Dowager Su had improved, and he should also set off.

However, looking at King Su, who was still childish between his eyebrows, Emperor Duanhua was a little unbearable, and said: "You grew up in the imperial capital, and you have never been to other places, and this time you have walked so far, and you can't pack things in a hurry." Besides, if it's still very hot today, it's better to stay a few more days and wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival before leaving! ”

King Su understood that this was to let himself and Empress Dowager Su have another Mid-Autumn Festival, so he couldn't help but thank him and accepted Xinjun's kindness.

And he started, and King Xiang's side didn't dare to delay it anymore - Emperor Duanhua treated everyone equally, maybe he would go to the vassal after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the news came out, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom summoned Nie Wuying to talk almost every day.

In front of Nie Wuying, the eldest princess smiled and was in good spirits, but once this little daughter left, her expression was gloomy, and sometimes she would cry secretly.

Jia Yue was very distressed in his eyes, but he was helpless, so he had to reveal to Song Yixiao in private: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is very sad because of the death of the first emperor, and now the county lord of Jinghui is also going to travel far away, His Royal Highness doesn't say it, but his heart is as uncomfortable as cutting meat!" The slaves and maids watched from the sidelines, and they all felt extremely sad! ”

"Aunt Jiayo means that she wants us to help speak in front of His Majesty." After Song Yixiao relayed these words to her husband, she shook her head and said, "Your Majesty has already promised the second king to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and if we intercede again, it will only backfire - Your Majesty has always respected her mother, and her mother has not opened her mouth, so she naturally understands that she can't do anything." Although Aunt Jiayo is well-intentioned, this matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. ”

He said softly, "It's going to change, that's going to be fatal!" ”

- Perhaps, Emperor Duanhua planned to go against Emperor Xianjia's arrangement before his death and kill his two younger brothers!

Song Yixiao knew what to say, and the next time Jia Yue said it, she was no longer vague, and euphemistically expressed the fact that she couldn't do anything, and after Jia Yue sighed, she didn't mention it anymore.

More than half a month passed in a flash, and although the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and the Empress Dowager Su were very reluctant, the Mid-Autumn Festival still came as scheduled.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is particularly deserted.

Because it has been less than 100 days since Emperor Xianjia's death, there are still various taboos in the palace forbidden.

In addition, Emperor Duanhua is determined to keep his father's filial piety for three years, who else dares to surpass?

Therefore, the lack of kindness at the festival banquet was presented to the food table in front of the Queen Mother, and the meat was placed in front of the empress dowager, and it was extremely refreshing in front of the others.

Although the imperial chef's skills in making vegetarian food are not bad, there is no silk and no bamboo, and there is no wine, and this kind of banquet is like washing the dust of the Ji family before the Yanguo Mansion, which is also dull and lonely.

The only good news is probably that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Su were finally able to get up and attend the banquet in their entirety - but the people who were really present to see these two complexions knew in their hearts that the phoenix bodies of the two mothers were definitely not complete, but they were thinking that King Su and King Xiang were about to travel far away, and they deliberately forced themselves out to get together.

Early the next morning, the two kings of Suxiang took the princess into the palace to resign, and made less peace in the palace of the empress dowager and the empress dowager - the king and his wife went to the place of their adoptive mother Jiang Xian - and then the princess went out of the palace, and the two kings went to Xuanming Palace to say goodbye.

Emperor Duanhua sat on the high throne, watching the two younger brothers bow down and withdraw from the Guangdian, sighing, but there was also a kind of relaxation of the boulder falling to the ground.

"In the coming year, the rewards of the two kings must not be slackened!" He exhaled and admonished the attendant beside him.

The chamberlain prostrated himself and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent! ”

Before he got up, a figure flashed at the palace gate, but it was King Liang who walked in: "Brother Huang! ”

"What's the matter?" Although Emperor Duanhua has a grudge against King Xiang of Su, he still likes and indulges his younger brother, and when he saw him, his expression suddenly eased, and he waved his hand to signal him to be exempt, and said, "Come up and speak, you and my brother, why do you want to see the outside like this?" ”

"Etiquette should not be abolished." King Liang is not a very cautious person, so he said this, but he also took three steps and two steps up the Danqi, and only stood two feet in front of the imperial case, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Brother Huang, I have something I want to ask you!" ”

He also made a gesture as he spoke, looking very solemn.

Emperor Duanhua said unexpectedly: "What's the matter?" ”
