The Mid-Autumn Festival, which has been celebrated for three years, is coming as scheduled in the anticipation of everyone.

In the early morning of this day, there was a light rain, and at the beginning of the day, it gradually stopped dripping, and the cloud layer was pressed very low, and the whole morning was shrouded in cool humidity, which made people unconsciously worried, and the sky continued to be cloudy, and the full moon was missed. It wasn't until the afternoon that the belated golden sun penetrated the clouds and spread the brightness between the sky and the earth, so that the golden-roofed red walls, green trees and yellow flowers regained their bright colors.

At the beginning of Shen, the prince and the noble, civil and military officials who entered the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival luncheon presided over by the emperor and queen, just went out of the Taiping Gate, along the way, there are still people who use the wine, clamoring to be drunk or rest, it turns out that at the palace banquet held in the Hall of Bliss today, the protégé of Jin Xiang and the old officials of Qin Xiang unexpectedly fought to win, and they did not admit defeat, thanks to the inner supervisors of the celebrant who reminded them not to lose their manners in front of the emperor, so it did not evolve into a "martial fight", but the saint seemed to be unimpressed, and raised a few times to encourage the courtiers to have fun, This made both sides of the battle very excited, and in the middle of the feast, some people were drunk and unconscious, and were "carried" out of the Hall of Bliss by the attendants to sober up.

At the end of the palace banquet, most of the nobles and princes returned to their homes by car to reunite with their families, but the left and right ministers, the royal family, Jianning Hou, Wei Guogong and the official department of Shangshu had to rush to the Maoying Garden at the foot of Kunming Mountain in Jinyang Beijing to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner of the royal family.

The queen mother and the concubines of the six palaces have moved in the early morning, and the eldest princess has arrived with the duchess Huang and her daughter-in-law Su Lian, and her granddaughters Yichen, Yijing, and Yifeng.

In the garden, this season, the autumn water of Kunming Lake is slightly rippling, the smoke willows along the embankment are still green, and there is no bleak color, the begonia in the garden is spitting, the autumn chrysanthemum is blooming, the cinnamon is fragrant, the jade belt bridge across the clear waves, bathed in the pale sky and the thin mist on the lake, the silhouette is more and more beautiful, such a vast scenery makes the beautiful scenery and the two girls of Liuniang just enter the garden, they can't sit still, and they can't wait to go to the west embankment to enjoy the scenery.

Huang and Yichen accompanied the queen mother to gossip for a while, and then the noble concubine Chen sent someone to invite her to sit in the palace where she rested, the queen mother knew Chen's calculations, and after a little hesitation, she still let go, because of some words, she really wanted to talk to the eldest princess alone.

Sizheng, there is still a little bit of moisture left on the pebble path, the west wind is over, and it can also roll up the rain like fog, the queen mother and the eldest princess have no heart to enjoy the scenery, only sit in the palace, taste white chrysanthemum tea, through the window lattice, watch a garden of ink chrysanthemum.

"Shangyuan, you have always been my envy." The Queen Mother suddenly sighed.

Seeing that the eldest princess didn't seem to know why, the queen mother smiled again: "Back then, you and General Su had the years of galloping and fighting, life and death side by side, you can know how much envy of our ordinary women who are confined to the boudoir. ”

At such a time, the queen mother was caught off guard and mentioned the old prince who had passed away, how much made the eldest princess a little sad, when the beacon fire was everywhere, she rode side by side with him, fighting for the splendid country, I still remember that night, the long sword was stained with blood, the iron armor was slightly cold, the reckless jungle, and the danger was everywhere, he delivered a pair of mandarin duck swords to her hand, and made a lifelong promise, although it was only a short eight words - for the rest of his life, life and death.

But his eyes are deep and resolute, and in a word, he promises it for life.

Just let her engrave him deeply in her life.

Her marriage, since that day, there is no second possibility.

I still remember in my heart, the last breath of his life, although he has frequently coughed up blood, but he does not want to lie on the sickbed, holding her hand, leaning on the chaise longue.

He called her name, and he said, my biggest regret is that I can't grow old with you, he said, if there is an afterlife, I still hope to spend it with you, he said, it seems that I am going to take the first step, this is me, the most sorry thing.

In the evening, the remnant sun was like blood, and he held her fingers together, gradually losing his last temperature.

A corner of my heart has always become a missing and can no longer be made up.

Now when I mention it, how can I not feel confused.

The Queen Mother saw that the eldest princess seemed to be a little sad, and ended the topic in a timely manner: "Shangyuan, I know that you are planning for Chen'er, and I also hope that she can find a consistent beloved, but in this world, don't talk about the royal family, but how many people can do it for a lifetime?" I also know that Haoxi is a little ridiculous this time, but this kid is a young maniac, not just to mess with flowers and grass, you see......"

"I also understand the difficulties of the saint and the fifth sister-in-law." When it came to business, the eldest princess suppressed the sentimentality in her heart, and frowned slightly: "Actually, Chen'er's marriage, I was also a little hesitant, not that San Lang's mistake is really unforgivable, but I think the two children are really not suitable, Chen'er I know, it's just a dead eye, what grievances have been suffered, and I will only hold it in my heart, San Lang is talented and good-looking, and his temperament is also very uninhibited, he is a prince, naturally he has to be concubine Teng concubine, and then he is so outstanding, it is inevitable that he will be jealous and compete for favor in the back house, The housewife of the house in the future has to be a more flexible and flexible way to be safe, and Chen'er is really not suitable. ”

The Queen Mother sighed for a long time: "I also understand your feelings as a grandmother, but in the current situation, I won't hide it from you, the Holy One has decided to reform the system, and you also know what happened in Nanzhejiang, if you don't govern it, it will be a big disaster for the country in the future, and it will be difficult for the Holy One." ”

The eldest princess's brows tightened a little: "The Holy Lord is determined to do it?" ”

The Queen Mother bowed slightly, and her expression added a little solemnity: "Jin Rongzhong was still restrained in the fashion of the first emperor, but once the son of heaven and a courtier, right now, he is so domineering that people can not bear it, if you don't get rid of the scourge of the Jin family, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult, but at the moment, the interests of the nobles have to be taken into account, except for you Weiguo Mansion, who can take on this heavy responsibility." ”

The eldest princess was silent for a moment.

The Queen Mother said again: "You can also understand Chen's intentions, if Chen'er really becomes Shiro's concubine......"

"Don't talk about the fifth sister-in-law, I still know this reason, and I don't plan to do it at all." The eldest princess said without hesitation.

"Then, there is only Erlang at the moment...... To say that the temperament of the two children is suitable, they are both gentle and elegant, but Erlang's background ...... "The queen mother is a little worried, and the eldest princess looks down on the grandson born to this palace maid."

But I didn't want the eldest princess to care: "What's wrong with your background?" Erlang is also the bloodline of the saint, the pride of the sky, and does not hide from the fifth sister-in-law, in fact, I have long had a plan, Erlang just has no mother's family to rely on, but this is not a defect, rather than fighting for the word power, it is better to have peace and joy. ”

The eldest princess also has a layer of unspoken meaning, although Erlang is also a prince, but he is gentle and obedient, and his talent and appearance are ordinary, plus the reason for his birth, even if he will accept one or two concubines in the future, he should not be born a powerful person, of course, he cannot threaten the status of Concubine Yichen, plus Erlang is also serious, after the two get married, even if they can't sing together, they can also raise their eyebrows.

Seeing that the eldest princess was so simple, the Queen Mother was also overjoyed: "So, Shangyuan, did you promise to let Chen'er and Erlang get married?" ”

"I don't hide it from my fifth sister-in-law, since the matter of Qianrao Pavilion came out, I was also thinking about it, and asked Chen'er what she thought, she was also a little uncertain about Sanlang, but she agreed with Erlang very much, although the marriage pays attention to the life of the parents, but this day is not that the juniors have to close the door by themselves, reluctantly, therefore, I came here today, I just want to talk to you."

The queen mother was overjoyed, and immediately tightened the eldest princess's hand: "Then let's decide...... At present, the queen and the Chen family are still hanging, for fear that the two of them will make some twists and turns, so it is better to take advantage of today to simply let Yichen go to Concubine Li, which can be regarded as a success in the hearts of the queen and the Chen family. ”

To be honest, the queen has been worried that Yichen has become the fourth princess, and the Chen family is also trying her best to fight, neither of them wants each other to be good, Li Concubine was the biological mother of the sixth prince, when the second prince was born, the saint asked her to raise the second prince for several years, and even simply recorded the second prince in the name of Li Concubine, but when the sixth prince was born, Li Concubine was indifferent to the second prince, but in the end it was still the mother and son in name, the queen mother asked Yichen to go to Li Concubine, that is, the queen and the concubine should not have other plans.

And whether it is for the queen or the concubine, Yichen is the second princess, and it does not pose a real threat to them, and he will make another plan in the future.

So, when Chen Guifei was holding Yichen's little hand and praising it, and did not forget to flatter the Huang family with a smile on her face, she suddenly felt like an aunt descending from the sky, claiming the order of the Queen Mother, so that Huang and Yichen accompanied the concubine After speaking, they went to Concubine Li's end, not to mention that Chen Guifei was shocked by such a mess, even Huang felt extremely surprised.

The eldest princess actually abandoned the fourth prince, but instead chose the second prince, the grandson-in-law who doesn't love his father and mother?

Although Chen Guifei was unwilling, but after thinking about it, it was okay, the second prince was not talented, and he was the son of the palace maid, even if he won the in-laws of the Weiguo Mansion, he would not be a threat in the future, so he planned to fight for the granddaughter of Jin Xiang for his son.

Besides, the queen went to the Maoying Garden with the saint, and she also heard about this unexpected thing, even if she felt a lot more relieved - she had one more chess piece in her hand than the concubine, that is, the Zhen family, and now Yichen has become a non-threatening second princess, as long as the marriage between Zhen Mo and Su Xun is promoted, the Weiguo Mansion will inevitably become the help of the prince.

In an instant, I thought of the Jin family's six mothers, and naturally they were also calculating, and secretly determined that they would not let the Jin family's six mothers be selected as the princess and make the Jin family a threat to the crown prince.

After some consideration, the queen summoned two cronies and palace maids to come forward and give them a detailed explanation.
