The pale sunlight of February shallow into the long corridor, and the swaying light and shadow on the vermilion wall are like the frozen pond water, some lazy and some trance. The mottled traces left at the root of the wall by the years, the unknown desolation in the cold wind that is still steep, about the nine-fold palace, the world's imagination is endless prosperity and honor, flowers are splendid, even if there are many affectionate literati in various miscellaneous romances to write the sorrow of red faces and white bones, it is also hidden deep under the brocade clothes and jade food, it is the deep palace resentment Ai does not know the sorrow of the world, but I don't know that on this golden tile red wall, some of the dilapidated are difficult to describe and decorate, and they are exposed in the place where the eyes are rarely reached.

Even those who are in it rarely pay attention to the fact that there are cracks in the prosperity that need to be bent down and lowered in order to see clearly.

A hurried pace sounded from the other end of the corner, and there was no one in sight, and I was already anxious.

The woman's gold-embroidered dress, her temples are pearlescent, and her delicate makeup is as if frost is gathered, her hands are wrapped in fur sleeves, and she walks without squinting, and her eyes are burning unwillingly, and she even ignores the magnificence that is obviously easy to see around her, and she does not pay attention to the dilapidated steps at the bottom of the wall.

She is Liang Zhaoyi, the seventh prince, and her biological mother is the aunt of Empress Kong.

Although according to the system of Dalong Palace concubines, their ranks are already below the nine concubines, but because of the queen's "special care", Liang Zhaoyi doesn't even look at the concubine in his eyes.

However, she has always been unfavored, and although she has a dragon heir, she has never been promoted to another level.

She came to complain today, and when she entered the Xinuan Pavilion of Kunren Palace, she straightened her knees, and she couldn't hold back her angry tone: "Sister, Concubine An is becoming more and more rampant, what kind of place is Yan Shan, and the holy order is not allowed to set foot in it!" It's good for her, she found out that the saint was there, and went to deliver the ginseng soup...... "The delicate makeup was gnashing her teeth, and the frost disintegrated, and a hideous appearance appeared: "The saint actually allowed her to enter!" This is a passover, how can my sister allow her to be bullied! ”

Liang Zhaoyi's accusation did not arouse the queen's jealousy, but she frowned slightly when she heard the word "Yan Shan", and the carefully maintained long coke slowly scraped the carvings on the hand stove.

"You live in Chuxiu Palace with her, and over the years, the contradictions have become more and more intense."

"Sister, the concubine is unjust for you!"

"Shut up!" The queen raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes were slightly sharp: "Don't use your little caution on me." ”

Liang Zhaoyi bit the corner of her lip angrily, and her eyes turned wet red: "My Qilang has a hard life, there is Liulang in front of him, what is Li Concubine, it is nothing more than three or two points Xiao seems to be ...... by appearance" But after all, he didn't dare to spit out that person, Liang Zhaoyi took a hard breath: "Even if Qilang is not more studious and inquisitive than Hachiro, it is better than Liulang, but it is the most undesirable...... Even Eleven Lang and a hairy child dare to bully, who made me just Zhaoyi. ”

The queen looked at her nails, and the corners of her lips were cold: "If you weren't busy fighting with Concubine Li and Concubine An, how could you be pinched by someone and promoted to the position of concubine early, and I worked hard in vain...... Who can Shichiro blame for not having a sacred heart? It was you who instigated him, but when you got the opportunity, you asked for the seal for you in front of the saint, and slandered Liulang and Hachiro in a daze, what the saint hated the most was that the prince was involved in the rights and wrongs of the harem concubines, how many times have I warned you, you can tell me yourself! ”

"How can it be instigated by a concubine, Shichiro is also out of filial piety......"

The queen couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the stove in her hand on a few cases: "I tried my best to persuade the Holy Lord to finally move and want to set a new list for Shichiro's niece...... He is good, he dislikes people who are not beautiful enough, and he is from a poor family, and he went to the saint to toss in front of him, which caused Long Yan to be angry, this time it is okay, the Cao family is decided, and your mother and son are finally satisfied? ”

Liang Zhaoyi finally said a little: "The Cao family and the queen mother are related to each other, and Qilang married the daughter of the Cao family, which will also help the prince in the future." ”

"Narrow-minded!" The queen slapped her palm on the case: "Even if there is no family business of the Cao family, the queen mother will protect her heirs, and this is a big move!" ”

"The concubine can't do anything, Qilang didn't know where to inquire about the daughter of the Jiang family, saying that she was fat and looked very ordinary...... There are a few young people who don't like beauty, not to mention that Shichiro is the emperor's nobleman. ”

The queen smiled bitterly and shook her head again and again: "Marrying a wife, the picture is to help the portal, is there no beautiful concubine around Qilang in the future?" I still have high hopes for Shichiro, hoping that he will become the prince's right-hand man in the future...... You only have a red eye for An Concubine, and you don't learn from the wisdom and wisdom of others, your heart is on the saint, you never make your own opinions, and you teach your son to be studious and progressive, and he is both virtuous. ”

"That's why my sister has to be careful of An Concubine, she will be ambitious!" Although Liang Zhaoyi was dissatisfied with the queen's contempt for the Seventh Prince, she forced herself to hold herself and resolutely pointed the finger at Concubine An's mother and son.

The queen glared at her cousin for a long time, and finally became powerless: "An Concubine's background is not obvious, and the eighth prince has no maternal family to rely on, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, and the imperial power is unified, it is natural to rely only on the holy will to choose the power of relatives, but now, ...... The throne is mostly constrained, and they must rely on strength, and the saint has no intention of consolidating power with Hachiro, and their mother and son are not a threat. ”

"Sister! That's when Hachiro is still young, and the marriage has not yet been decided, so it is difficult to ensure that his wife will be strong in the future. ”

"What can be done about the momentum of one door? As long as the Eighth Emperor Concubine is not from the Yan and Su factions in the future, there is no need to worry, instead of staring at Concubine An's mother and son, Shiro is the big trouble, he is the Fu King, and he is more threatening than them. The queen frowned heavily: "Although King Fu's biological mother is humble, his concubine is the eldest daughter of the Weiguo Mansion...... I never had peace of mind...... The Kong family does not have a woman of appropriate age, but your niece is the same age as the Su family's Saburo, at this time, you must pay attention to her upbringing, if the holy will is not unswerving, the Liang family is not hopeless to marry the Su family. ”

The queen's vision is far-reaching, but she doesn't know that the Son of Heaven has reached the end of his life, and all plans have become a castle in the air.

In the warm pavilion where Yan Shan was, the son of heaven who had just undergone the needle could not hide his tiredness, so Concubine An knelt beside him and pinched his shoulders for him, closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Hachiro's future marriage, have you considered it?" But suddenly asked.

An Concubine's gentle expression was condensed, and she replied to her gentleness in a moment: "But it is up to the saint to decide." ”

The Son of Heaven opened his eyelids slightly: "I want to hear what you mean." As he spoke, he had already stroked An Concubine's hand and pointed to the next case.

"Concubine...... Never considered. Although Concubine An was given to sit down, she lowered her eyes respectfully.

"Sanlang's side concubine Ning, there is a sister of a mother's compatriot, two years younger than Hachiro, this year's Fanglin banquet let the queen mother post, you pay attention to her a few points." The Son of Heaven did not ask, but directly stated his determination.

Concubine An's fingertips trembled slightly, but she got up respectfully: "The concubine obeys the order." ”

"Okay, you go back, Hachiro is a good boy, I will plan for him, his princess...... Regardless of the background for the time being, it should be important to be gentle and virtuous. The Son of Heaven spoke gently, but closed his eyes slightly.

Even if no one was watching, Concubine An still performed an impeccable blessing and maintained a smile.

It wasn't until he got out of the place that he tightened the palace maid's arm.

The palace maid was chattering and chattering proudly, "This is the place of Langshan, the saint strictly orders that the concubines are not allowed to set foot in it, and even the queen is rare, so I don't want to let the mother take the ginseng soup...... can be regarded as the first decent", suddenly in pain, the palace maid almost didn't exclaim.

"The road was slippery, and I almost lost my footing." Concubine An's palm was relaxed again.

The palace maid looked inexplicably at the road surface without a trace of water stains.

An Concubine raised her eyes to look at the shallow sunlight leaking through the clouds.

The Ning family is not prominent, the eldest daughter is the side concubine of the third prince, but the saint intends to make the second daughter the concubine of the eighth prince...... Although the Ning family is a relative of the queen, it is only going around in circles, and the Kong family once had a concubine who married the eldest son of the Ning family, and it was not Concubine Ning...... According to the current situation, the second daughter of the Ning family's partial branch will never be qualified to become the prince's concubine, unless she ......

Unless Concubine Ning becomes the imperial concubine in the future, the Ning family may rise.

The storage location is about to change.

An Concubine took a deep breath, the saint intended to make her Hachiro the arm of the new monarch, but she couldn't take advantage of the power of the wife's clan.

The honor and disgrace of the Ning family all depend on the will of the three princes in the future!

It's the third prince......

An Concubine suddenly chuckled, as far as Hachiro was concerned, as long as he was not the prince, it would be fine.

An Concubine and his entourage just disappeared into the corner, in the opposite direction, the third prince walked all the way with his hands bowed, and entered the place of Yan Shan unimpeded, but he suddenly paused on the edge of a pool of rippling water, and his eyes were burning to look at the winding path on the opposite side of the pond and deep into Mei Hong, and a trace of obscurity and uncertainty flowed in his eyes.

There are some memories, as vivid as yesterday.

In a trance, there seemed to be a silhouette of a woman under the plum tree.

Suddenly, he hugged the young child in his arms, and his smile was slightly low: "San Lang, do you miss your father...... You are so young, he had to leave Beijing, you should not remember...... Your father is so nice, I miss him so much...... San Lang, do you know how happy the mother concubine is at this time...... You and your father are the people that the mother loves the most......"

Suddenly, it was a pretty girl with a beautiful face, her eyes full of sorrow, and she was also looking forward to returning under the plum tree, and she turned a deaf ear to his call.

Love is such an emotion, happy or sad, sinking by itself.

"Mother, what is it like to tell me such happiness......" The third prince muttered to himself, turning his back suddenly.

The pace is unswervingly towards the end of the bluestone Yong Road, and there is a warm pavilion of more than ten servants.

Gradually, the wind and waves under my eyes are calm, and there is no sadness or joy.

In front of his son, the Son of Heaven had already restrained the fatigue and laziness when facing An Concubine just now, and sat upright, with one arm on the desk, and his palms slightly gripped.

Even Father-in-law Zhan bowed down and withdrew from the warm pavilion, waving his hand to signal the waiters outside the pavilion to stay away.

The third prince did not get a seat, and stood aside respectfully.

"How's it going?" The Son of Heaven asked, his gaze gently swept over his son's face, and he saw that the light of the sky outside the window paper was faintly reflected in his eyes, and there was a slight light, and he was in a trance...... seemed to see a pair of very similar eyes, looking at him tenderly.

Blue Bead ...... I have never forgotten you, and soon, we will see each other again, and from now on, it will only be you and me, and no one will bother you, you ...... Please don't be resentful, don't refuse me a thousand miles, give me another chance.

The Son of Heaven's heart shook like this, and the solemnity in his eyebrows faded until he heard his son's quiet tone.

is completely different from the woman in her memory, and the warbler's laughter is completely different.

"The fourth brother has already learned about the dance...... Erchen is through the mouth of Zhang Shishu and Su Tanhua. "The third prince will report back once.

"Are you sure Shiro won't be suspicious?" The Son of Heaven frowned slightly.

"The fourth brother is cautious, he should be suspicious, but even if he guesses that Zhang Shishu wants to use him to deal with the Kong family, he will enter the urn, he has already begun to investigate, the sons and daughters are properly arranged, those two prostitutes are very credible, and then Zhang Tai's son invited friends to a banquet, he was drunk that day, and he had no impression of what he said, and the fourth brother couldn't detect anything strange in him."

"The person who drinks and feasts with him must have been arranged by you." Only then did the Son of Heaven relax his eyebrows.

The Three Princes acquiesced.

"Next, it's up to Shiro to see what he does." The Son of Heaven said again, glanced at the third prince again, and his tone was slightly soft: "San Lang, you know my ...... Why only give you questions, but let you solve the problem, not personally layout. ”

"My father has ordered the Weiguo Mansion and Yuanyang to fully assist the sons and daughters, and they are already the grace of heaven, how can the sons rely on their fathers for everything."

The Son of Heaven smiled lightly: "Then in your opinion, what will Shiro do?" ”

"In order to get a target, it will inevitably make things worse," Erchen speculated...... Before instigating the impeachment of the imperial history, the fourth brother will reveal the news to the ......" The third prince hesitated slightly, but still did not say the word queen directly: "Revealed to the Kong family, in order to drive people to a dead end and kill people." ”

"And how do you deal with it?"

"The son has not yet known his father's next question." The third prince was very cautious.

"Before the abolition of storage, the Qin and Chen families were made first." The Son of Heaven said.

The third prince raised his eyebrows slightly: "In this way, it is necessary to ensure that Zhang Tai does not die, and admonish the prince not to take risks, make mistakes again and again, and draw salary from the bottom of the kettle...... If the fourth brother is forced to be anxious and kill people on his own, it is not difficult to find evidence of the crime. ”

If Zhang Tai is exterminated, he will not be able to implement the crime of Kong Zhishang's dance, and it will be useless to abolish the store in the future.

If you can force the four princes to have the heart of marrying the trouble and take matters into their own hands, they can take the lead in breaking their arms, but they are only broken arms.

The Son of Heaven stared at the third prince: "Without the Chen and Qin families, Shilang is no longer afraid, San Lang, he is your sibling brother in the end, don't kill them all, if he is obsessed, trapped in the forbidden garden is already a hidden danger, if he does not conspire against the felony, you ...... Spare his life. ”

"The retainers obey." The third prince did not hesitate, but his eyes were gloomy, especially when he heard the next words of the Son of Heaven: "In the same way, as long as there is no queen and the Confucian family, there is no need to worry about the abolished prince, I will personally order him to be imprisoned for life, and you must ensure that he will be clothed and fed in the future and will not be free...... The prince is incompetent, but he has no evil intentions, and over the years, he has also been a little sincere in his brotherhood with you. ”

The palms of the three princes were loosened, and suddenly they said: "Erchen remember the king's instructions." ”

Suddenly a gust of wind passed by outside the window, and in that piece of plum forest, there were countless reds.
