Two days later, Sony recovered and returned to the court.

Everyone knows that it was the Queen Mother who personally visited the house, and later the Emperor also went, and what they said behind closed doors, others couldn't guess, but if Sony could come back, he must have made everything clear.

Above the court meeting, everything was as before, Fulin did not mention Wu Liangfu at all, and the ministers saw that several important ministers did not mention it, so they naturally did not dare to rashly anger the emperor again.

As for Wu Liangfu, he is still on an errand in the Qianqing Palace, but he will never appear at the court meeting again, and the affairs of the inner palace have nothing to do with him from now on.

This turmoil is considered to have passed, but the result is not painful, and it has always been in the hearts of some ministers, and the emperor on the dragon chair is also very different from the past.

The ministers had to admit that the emperor had always been patient with court affairs, and could often calmly observe their arguments or consult with his courtiers.

But after this incident, the emperor had a little more courage to dictate the dynasty, a little more domineering, and he gradually revealed the majesty of an adult man, which made the ministers feel a little jealous.

In March, the cemetery of the fourth elder brother at the foot of Huanghua Mountain was completed, and the emperor held a grand funeral for his son, and posthumously crowned the fourth elder brother as Prince Heshuorong.

For a child who was only three months old, such a mourning was rare in history, but it was neither a posthumous crown prince nor a posthumous emperor, and the ministers did not dare to disagree.

Under the persuasion of Jia Yin, Fu Lin sent the decision to posthumously crown the fourth elder brother as the prince to Nanyuan in advance, and asked the Queen Mother to show it. Yu'er naturally agreed, Fu Lin was not as flamboyant as the crown prince emperor, she was already very satisfied.

It's just that March was busy with the funeral of the fourth elder brother, and the emperor completely forgot that there was still Xuan Ye's birthday.

On March 18, in the Nanyuan Palace, Xuan Ye wore a neat dress and kowtowed to Yu'er, thanking his grandmother for her nurturing grace, a four-year-old child, who already understood the meaning of birth.

"Hasn't Yuan Xi arrived yet?" Yu'er asked, "It's not that she wants to come early in the morning." ”

It just so happened that the news came at this time, Su Mala told Yu'er with a solemn face: "When Niangniang was preparing to go out in the morning, the news sent by the house said that Lord Tong didn't recognize anyone, so Niangniang decided to visit the adults first, and then come to the island to celebrate the birthday of the third elder brother." ”

"Xuan Ye, your grandfather is seriously ill, go and see him. Your grandmother and uncle must have prepared a birthday gift for you, and you will come back after eating at your grandfather's house. Yu'er sighed in her heart and said to the child, "There is no need to go to class today, the prince has lived a long life, and he can also take a day off, go ahead." ”

Xuan Ye saluted his grandmother and said goodbye, followed Pomegranate and Su Mala out, he saw Pomegranate secretly wiping tears with red eyes, but the young child asked bluntly: "Pomegranate, is my grandfather going to die?" ”

Pomegranate pursed her lips, unable to speak, Su Mala said softly: "Third elder brother, do you remember what the slave said, everyone will die, compared to a painful and long life, a short and wonderful life is obviously more meaningful." ”

"Auntie, the third elder brother still doesn't understand." Pomegranate said.

"If you listen to it since you were a child, you will understand it when you grow up in nature." Su Mala said, "The Queen Mother also hopes that the third elder brother can look down on life and death and be a person who cherishes the present." ”

In the capital Tong Mansion, the imperial doctor from the palace had just stepped down and went to prescribe a prescription to boil medicine, but Tong Tulai had been ill from hard work for many years, and he had been seriously injured several times, and he had survived again and again, and his vitality was almost exhausted.

When E Shuo passed away last year, Tong Tulai was barely able to go out, and it became heavier and heavier after a winter, and when he woke up this morning, he suddenly didn't recognize anyone.

The husband's condition deteriorated rapidly, which made Mrs. Tong panic, and immediately sent a message to ask her daughter to return.

At this moment, Tong Tulai sat at the head of the bed, holding his daughter's hand, looking at his daughter with loving eyes, after a period of confusion, he was already awake at this time, but he didn't have the strength to speak, and he coughed non-stop as soon as he opened his mouth, so he simply stopped talking.

"Master, look who's coming." Mrs. Tong came in and flashed out of Xiao Xuanye from behind, and he ran to climb onto his grandfather's bed at once, and Yuan Xi couldn't catch it.

"Third elder brother." Tong Tulai couldn't help but be overjoyed, but his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Why don't you take the third elder brother out quickly, I'm sick like this, how can I make it." ”

Xuan Ye sat down in his grandfather's arms and said, "Grandpa, I am a child who has had smallpox, and Mama Su Mala said that I will never get sick again." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Xuan Ye, grandpa doesn't have the strength to hold you, you come down and come to Eniang." ”

Xuan Ye refused, hugged his grandfather's arm, buried his face, and did not speak.

"Third elder brother." Tong Tulai coaxed, "Third elder brother, let's play, grandpa is not fun here." ”

But Xuan Ye cried, whimpered and asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, are you going to die?" ”

Yuan Xi's heart tightened, and he was about to speak, but he saw his father coaxing his grandson and said, "Grandpa will guard the third elder brother in the sky, and grandpa will bless Xuanye with peace and security." Grandpa is a person who has died 800 times, and it is worth everything to live to see the third elder brother grow so big. ”

Xuan Ye cried, very sad, he said that his grandfather had not taught him to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and he didn't want his grandfather to die.

Yuan Xi was very calm, but his eyes were moist by his son's words, and he turned around and walked outside the door and secretly wiped his tears.

"Sister." Coming from under the corridor is Guowei, who has grown up.

A sixteen-year-old boy is completely childish, but his temperament and expression are completely different from that of his eldest brother Guogang, and his smart eyebrows reveal a bit of sophistication that does not match his age.

"Guowei, are you out of school?" Yuan Xi said, pulled his younger brother to look under the eaves, and said with relief, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've grown taller again, but I'm thin, so it's better to be stronger." ”

"I'm in good health, I've been thin since I was a child, and I can't be like my eldest brother." Tong Guowei said, "Sister, I heard that the third elder brother is here. ”

"I'm talking to Amma, so that their grandparents and grandchildren are tired of it for a while." Yuan Xi said, "If you want to see Xuan Ye, I'll let the pomegranate take you to you later." ”

Who knew that Tong Guowei said: "Sister, the body of the third elder brother is more important than anything else, Ama is seriously ill right now, and he is still ......"

Yuan Xi frowned, he was a little angry in his heart, but his father just said the same thing, their father and son were all for the good of themselves and Xuan Ye, but the reality was too cruel.

"Got it, I'll take Xuan Ye out later." Yuan Xi said, "Guowei, in a few years, you will be able to be on an errand, and then you have to listen to your brother, brotherly harmony is more important than anything else, remember?" ”

"I know, sister, don't worry, if the brothers don't get along, outsiders should be proud." Tong Guowei said seriously, "Our Tong family's road is still very long." ”

As he was talking, Xuan Ye, who was crying and red-eyed, came out, Tong Guowei saluted the third elder brother, Xuan Ye also called uncle, and then said to Eniang: "Grandpa wants Eniang to go." ”

"Guowei, take Xuan Ye with you." Yuan Xi entrusted his son to his younger brother, and just happened to see the maidservant bring the decoction, so he brought it in with his own hands.

Tong Tulai was no longer very happy to drink the medicine, but when his daughter fed it to his mouth, he still drank it.

"Yuan Xi, after you go back today, don't come again, you are the emperor's concubine, you must abide by the rules." Tong Tulai said, "The Queen Mother likes you because you abide by the rules." ”

Yuan Xi promised: "I know, the Queen Mother has already told me about this, and my daughter will not embarrass herself." ”

"Today is Xuan Ye's birthday." Tong Tulai let out a long sigh, "Is the emperor still in Huanghua Mountain?" ”

"There are still three days, and I have to chant for the fourth elder brother for seven days." Yuan Xi said, "Don't get in the way, Xuan Ye's birthday has always been sloppy because of one reason or another, and this kid doesn't care about it himself." ”

"It's a small thing to have a birthday, but it's a big ......thing in the future," Tong Tulai said to his daughter, "Yuan Xi, it's not that Ama is ruthless and abandons his brother's daughter, but for you and Xuanye, you still have to keep your distance from Jia Yin as much as possible." ”

"I'll listen, you say." Yuan Xi said.

"The emperor is so favored that the imperial concubine has become the target of everyone. And now that Xuan Ye is being taken by the Queen Mother's side, others will wake up sooner or later and understand the difference between Xuan Ye and the Queen Mother's heart. ”

Tong Tulai coughed a few times, took a breath and continued: "In this matter, you have to tactfully ask the Empress Dowager for instructions, in order to give Xuan Ye the best arrangement." Before he takes the path of the God King, any smugness will hurt him, since there is such a big target as Chengqian Palace in front of him, don't take the initiative to set him on fire. ”

"Amma, in your opinion, can Xuan Ye walk the path of the emperor?" Yuan Xi had tears in his eyes, "Seeing the emperor like this, I will sometimes be shaken, I am afraid that Xuan Ye will become like the emperor in the future, I, I would rather have a son." ”

Tong Tulai shook his head: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and you don't know if the imperial concubine can still have a son." What's more, there is Horqin, and the queen is here, maybe one day, the queen will have a son-in-law? ”

Yuan Xi calmed down: "That's what you said. ”

Tong Tulai said: "But no matter how their circumstances change in the future, we must prepare everything for Xuan Ye to step on the path of the God King, even if we have to give up in the future, we must protect him, and be a prince who is not in danger of his life and is not suspected by the new monarch." But obviously, this is more difficult than being an emperor, Yuan Xi, look at the siblings of the first emperor, look at the emperor's brothers, what kind of treatment are they in the future? ”

"Amma...... Xuan Ye him. ”

"My grandson will definitely become emperor."
