265, the pain of birth and separation (2)
Feng Miao cried too much this time, both eyes were red and swollen, Su Wen gave her a thick layer of incense powder, but she still couldn't cover Miao combing her hair with a peach wood comb, looking at the red and swollen eyes in the mirror.
"Niangniang, let's put a compress on the brewed tea leaves," Su Wen put down the powder box and said, "Otherwise, it will be even more swollen tomorrow morning." ”
"No, so be it," Feng Miao put down the comb, not knowing whether to say it to herself or to Su Wen, "I thought that if he spoiled me and loved me, there really would be nothing to worry about, but I didn't expect it to be like that." I forgot that he was the emperor, not just my husband. ”
Su Wen also looked at the red-eyed face in the mirror, "The emperor always has something difficult for him...... Forgive the slave and maid for saying something disrespectful, not to mention that the mother is married to the Son of Heaven, even if she is married to a peddler and a pawn, it is impossible for everything to go well. There are aunts and uncles, and everyone has to worry a little at home. ”
Feng Miao looked at Su Wen's lips opening and closing in the bronze mirror, she understood all these truths, but if she really wanted to watch her flesh and blood being taken away, no one would be able to stand it. She shook her head and said, "Those old ministers have been hostile to me for a long time, and to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than because I support the emperor's new policy and break their old rules for many years of hard work. I only care about the affairs of the palace now, and the person who spreads those gossips must be Gao Zhaorong. Now that Huai'er has gone to the Hualin Annex, I have to hold her down so that she doesn't dare to do anything to Huai'er. ”
She attached it to Su Wen's ear and whispered a few words, asking Su Wen and Lingshu to do it as soon as possible. Gao Zhaorong has a smart and sensible prince, and he has never made a mistake by half a step, since he can't find a chance to lead her to make mistakes, he can only make good use of her perfection.
Because of the contradictions between the various departments in the north, Tuoba Hong stayed in the side hall of the Taiji Hall for several days and nights. In the past few days, some words have gradually spread in the harem, saying that when the noble man was pregnant, he once dreamed that there was a round of entering the house tomorrow, and the noble man hid everywhere in the dream, but he was still caught up by the red sun and jumped into the belly. The same dream lasted for a few days, and then she gave birth to the second prince.
Through the women who entered the palace to ask for peace and the eunuchs who went out of the palace to do business, the news spread more and more widely, and gradually spread throughout Luoyang. It is already obvious that the prince's qualifications are mediocre and not favored by the emperor, but the second prince is extraordinarily smart, and some people have begun to circulate in private that sooner or later the emperor will abolish the prince and replace the second prince Yuan Ke.
In the Shuangming Palace, Gao Zhaorong was picking and choosing among the melons and fruits in Xingong, and he had to find one that was smooth and smooth without any scars before he was willing to put it in his mouth.
"Niangniang, that's all there is to it," Chuntong asked cautiously, "But the slave doesn't understand, these are all words that are beneficial to Niangniang, praise the second prince, don't Niangniang also have a light on her face?" ”
Gao Zhaorong snorted, but did not speak. She knew that Feng Miao had officially declared war on her. If Ke'er is made the prince, then she, the biological mother, will not be able to escape the ancestral precept of "establishing a son and killing his mother".
If she didn't want to die so soon, she would definitely not be able to touch that little green-eyed mongrel, originally the emperor was still hesitating between these two children, but if something happened to Yuan Huai, there would only be one choice left for the second prince, Yuan Ke.
Seeing that Huai'er had entered the Hualin Annex, but the method he had thought of couldn't be used, Gao Zhaorong was depressed in his heart, and rescratched it on the table with his nails, making a piercing sound, and then asked, "What did my brother say over there?" ”
Chuntong hurriedly responded, "Lord Gao said that the time has not yet come, please be patient for a while." ”
Gao Zhaorong became more and more upset when he heard this, Gao Huan said such things, I don't know how many times, since she was sent to the palace in a hurry, he said this, and now Ke'er is already a teenager. How much did she endure enough? If she endures it any longer, she will be like Lin Lang, and she will endure it to the grave. can't move that green-eyed child, it doesn't mean that she can't move others, such as Feng Miao's stupid brother......
Thousands of miles away, the prince Yuansui slept all the way, and had rushed to the ancestral tomb of the Tuoba clan, where it was cleaned every year, and the stone steps were neat and clean, and even weeds were rare. Yuan Sui identified all the way and found the stele that read "Queen Zhen Lin".
Yuan Hong has already said that he will be buried in the new capital of Luoyang after his death, and has begun to order people to build a mausoleum, and the mausoleum of Empress Zhen will not be buried with the emperor, and the specifications are much smaller. Perhaps because of the repeated washing of the rain, the four corners of Empress Zhen's tombstone have become a little smooth, and the gold dust painted on the handwriting has also fallen a lot.
"Queen Mother...... Yuan Sui knelt down in front of the tombstone, and hugged the cold stone tablet with open arms, like hugging a living person, "Others say that my father loved you very much back then, so he made me the crown prince." Mother, is this true? ”
The mountain wind whimpered, but no one could answer his question. "Queen Mother, if it's true, why does my father hate his sons so much now? Is Erchen really that annoying? Yuan Sui still stubbornly asked, like a son talking to his mother, revealing all the doubts in his heart over the years.
"The queen mother, although the sons don't want to admit it, the sons really don't look like their fathers at all. The father and the two younger brothers were thin and fair-skinned, but the sons ......" he said, and he couldn't hold back his crying, "Queen Mother, why did you leave your sons and leave alone?" Sometimes Erchen really hates, why can't Erchen be the son born to Concubine Gao or Concubine Feng? If there was a favored mother concubine who said good things in front of her father, maybe her father would not be so indifferent to his sons. Mother ...... You speak......"
He deliberately came alone, leaving all the guards outside, because he had something to say to his mother. He knew that the queen mother could not give him any answer, but he just wanted to say all the words that had been piled up in his heart all these years. He had grown to such an age in trembling, first by the side of the unsmiling great-grandmother, and then by the cold and stern father of the emperor.
Yuan Sui saw that the tears wet the corner of the tombstone, and wiped it with his cuffs. At this time, there was a sudden sound of broken footsteps behind him, and a female voice that was not good sounded sounded behind him, "Lord Wang, have you come to see Queen Zhen again?" ”
Rajah? Yuan Sui was puzzled, turned his face to see, a woman less than thirty years old, was walking step by step, she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, her hair was wrapped in a piece of arrowroot, and she was holding some paper money, incense and candles, and it seemed that she often came here.
When the woman saw Yuan Sui, she seemed to be taken aback, and looked at him carefully for a long time before asking, "You...... Who are you His Royal Highness the King of the North Sea? ”
Yuan Sui didn't expect that a mountain woman could also know the title of the King of Beihai, so he replied, "I am Yuan Sui, the prince of Great Wei, and the King of Beihai is my uncle." ”
"......," the woman whispered, the shock in her eyes even heavier, "you...... Are you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? With that, she knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Sui again and again, "Your Highness, the slave didn't expect to see you in my lifetime......" Her tone seemed to tremble with excitement, and after kowtowing, she turned to the tombstone again, "Niangniang, you see, your son has come to see you, he ...... He looks almost exactly like the prince, and you can rest in peace underground. ”
Yuan Sui was confused when he heard this, this woman seemed to know a lot of things when he was born, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you talking about...... Uncle Beihai Wang? ”
"Uncle Wang?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Yes, Your Highness doesn't know anything, and you should call the prince uncle." She set up the incense candles and paper money in her arms, lit them skillfully, and threw the paper money into the copper basin.
The doubts in Yuan Sui's heart became more and more serious, and he walked up to the woman and asked, "You often come here to burn paper money?" Do you know my mother? ”
The woman used a jade hairpin to flick the paper money burning in the copper basin, and said faintly, "The slave maid is the palace maid who served Queen Zhen in the past, called Xinbi, when His Royal Highness the Prince was born, the slave maid also hugged His Royal Highness." "The wind and sun in the mountains are blowing, and Xinbi is only in her twenties, but at this time, she looks like a peasant woman in her early thirties.
Yuan Sui then asked, "You just said that I look exactly like a certain prince, what do you mean?" ”
Xinbi sighed and said, "Old things are all bad fate, the emperor is very good to you now, don't ask Your Highness." ”
Yuan Sui naturally refused to comply, but no matter how he pleaded, Xinbi refused to say any more. In desperation, he could only give up and turn around and prepare to go back. As soon as he walked a few steps away, he heard a voice behind him that seemed to be talking to himself, "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see you just now, and the slave saw him...... Don't worry, he is still alive, he was not killed by the emperor, he really looks exactly like the prince of Beihai, you know under the spring, you can also rest assured. Back then, you fell in love with the prince of Beihai, but you were broken up by the emperor, and on the day you gave birth to the child, you were given death by the emperor. Now, you should rest assured......"
The fact that he was unwilling to say it just now was said in a blink of an eye is already very suspicious. But Yuan Sui didn't notice this suspiciousness at all, and there was no way to distinguish it, Xinbi's words were actually very different from the truth back then. He had only seen the King of the North Sea a few times, and when he thought about it at this time, he suddenly felt a layer of cool sweat on his back, he was indeed more like the King of the North Sea.
Yuan Sui hurriedly returned to Empress Zhen's tombstone and twisted Xinbi's arm, "You just said...... I'm not my father's biological son? Is the King of the North Sea my father? ”
Xinbi was taken aback by him, and refused to respond to this sentence at first, but was forced by him to ask several times before finally nodding and saying "yes".
Yuan Sui's face became gloomy and blue, and he asked word by word, "You...... Is there any evidence to prove that what you say is true? ”
