At the end of the 38th year of the Great Yao Qing calendar, Emperor Yao deposed the crown prince of the great prince, and at the beginning of the following year, he decreed that the seven princes were canonized as the new princes on his sickbed. On the same day that the seal of the crown prince of the Seven Princes was officially awarded, the five princes set off for Cangwu County on the border of Dayao, becoming the prince whose fief was farthest from the imperial capital in the history of Yaoguo.

Five or six miles outside the imperial city, the famous pavilion is hung with a colorful curtain today, and the man standing in the pavilion is handsome, but for some reason it has a little cold feeling.

"Today is a good day for the seventh brother to inherit the crown prince, but my father came to see me off, a criminal minister, and I was annoyed and angry again when the seventh brother found out." Speaking in a mocking tone, Yi Chenxuan didn't even glance at Emperor Yao behind him, and there was no trace of the once gentle and filial image.

"Although Jing'er has a problem with me, there will be enough time to resolve it in the future, and the last thing I want to see is that you can't think about it." Looking at the dark clouds in the direction of the palace, Emperor Yao coughed a few times, still full of fishy sweetness. tightened his cloak and walked to Yi Chenxuan's side, and the old body of Emperor Yao straightened slightly: "Jing'er has promised not to hurt your life." He is a child who keeps promises, as long as you keep to yourself in the future and don't make trouble again, he will not do anything to you. ”

Yi Chenxuan sneered, took a deep breath and sighed: "Father, it's better to put away your sympathy and pity, fight with Lao Qi, I lost, and I should accept that the loser deserves the end." However, the father will not be unclear about the princes, who of the princes does not have hidden evil intentions. It's just that I and Lao Qi are the most powerful, and the ending is unfortunate, he is the king and I am the loser. ”

From the time Yi Chenxuan was thrown into the prison to the time he embarked on the road, Emperor Yao talked to him no less than ten times, and each time it ended in this fruitless situation, and it seems that this time is no exception.

With a wave of his hand, he scattered the bunch of words he wanted to say, and Emperor Yao turned around: "I have degraded your identity but have not withdrawn the care of the Qi family, she will live in the palace and be cared for by the best imperial doctors and maids before giving birth to a son." Now that we won't see each other until a few months later, let's say goodbye to you husband and wife. ”

Qi couldn't wait to say a few words to Yi Chenxuan, and when she saw Emperor Yao waving to her, she hurriedly walked into the pavilion, and before she could finish paying tribute to Emperor Yao, tears were already raining down.

"Who told you to come. Did I tell you that you forgot everything? , get out of here," As soon as Emperor Yao left, Yi Chenxuan's face changed greatly, and he raised his hand to fan Qi's face. When his eyes swept over the high bulging abdomen, he suddenly froze, hesitated for a while, withdrew his hand, and turned into a cold scold: "You know what to do yourself, and it is not to teach you to continue to live a good life by letting you stay in the palace." In two days, Lao Qi will move into the East Palace, you can show me the situation over there, and if there is any trouble, people will pass it on immediately. ”

Qi held his stomach up, held his back waist with one hand and bowed slightly: "Cheap concubine remember." ”

"Maybe if I don't wait for me to make a comeback, I don't know if someone will take the first step against Lao Qi." A sneer rippled at the corner of his lips, Yi Chenxuan took a deep breath, walked out of the pavilion and opened the door, and stepped into the carriage. I don't know if it's to tell the people next to me or if it's really concerned, when the wheel turned, Qi unexpectedly heard a low order: "I'm leaving, you take care of yourself." ”

It was just a very ordinary farewell speech, but looking at the carriage heading into the distance, Qi suddenly burst into tears, gently caressing his heavy abdomen with one hand, and crying silently with the other.

Crying and crying, but showing a peaceful smile, it was a little desolate, but it was satisfied in the end.

The liveliness in the palace of Yaoguo was not affected by the deserted atmosphere of the pavilion at all, the crown prince was newly established, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty congratulated one after another, so busy that Yi Chenjing was about to cramp when he spoke, and finally found an excuse to get out reluctantly, but when he returned to the dust Xuan, he couldn't find the shadow of Bai Qige anywhere.

At that time, Bai Qige was beside the queen of Huanqing Palace.

"Sit down, you don't have to be polite when there are no outsiders, just chat with ordinary mothers and daughters." Picking up the ginseng tea and blowing the steaming steam, the queen raised her eyes to look at Bai Qige, with an unnatural smile on her face, "I was still pitiful when I saw you at the birthday banquet the year before last, but now it has only been a long time, although the person is much thinner than before, his spirit is much better." ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the queen's mother, the harem is stable, and the concubines can rest assured."

The queen smiled and shook her head: "Why are you carved out of a mold like the Seventh Prince, and you always mess up the name." You are the concubine of the Seventh Prince, and now that he has taken the crown prince's throne, you are the crown princess, according to the rules, you can no longer call yourself a concubine, and you can call yourself by your name when you see the palace in the future. There is always less closeness and popularity in this palace, and this palace hopes that you can be a good example, and you and I will be as intimate as a mother and daughter in the future, and that would be the best. ”

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, let alone in the palace of deceit, not to mention, it is a woman who once used to interfere in politics and is very likely to be a thief. Bai Qige naturally didn't contradict anything, and nodded with a submissive expression.

Xu is performance made the queen very satisfied, the palm that could not see a trace of wrinkles was raised to signal Bai Qige to sit beside her, the queen pulled Bai Qige up and patted it twice on the back of her hand: "The seventh prince has been smart and clever since he was a child, although he has not been around the palace for a long time, the palace likes him very much, and now he is very happy to see that he will inherit the throne as the crown prince, and I always feel that this is the best candidate for the emperor." It's a pity that I haven't seen each other for many years, so that there are a lot of children between mother and son, and I have to rely on you to move around more in the future, this palace and the seven princes, ah, it's time to call the prince now, it's really old and confused. Shaking her head as if she was blaming herself, the queen sighed: "The mother-son relationship between the palace and the prince is very deep, and I hope that the prince and the princess can let go of their restraints and walk around with the palace more." ”

What the queen said, Bai Qige blindly nodded in agreement, anyway, she couldn't object, it was unpleasant. However, what the queen said next, Bai Qige didn't dare to say anything, so she nodded casually.

"The emperor has looked for you privately." The queen asked tentatively.

Bai Qige pondered slightly, and then replied cautiously: "How can the emperor have the leisure to find me." It's just that when he entered and exited the palace with His Highness, he simply talked a few words, and nothing else. ”

"That's ...... It's fine, but you should always be prepared, lest you shouldn't be able to say anything about the emperor. Looking at Bai Qige meaningfully, the queen had an inexplicable smile on her lips, and her words were unknown, "The emperor doesn't like it the most, it's a smart woman like the crown princess,"

Bai Qige's heart moved, and his face was still silent: "Qige is stupid, where can I get the word smart." The queen was too worried. ”

"This palace just said casually, you don't have to go to your heart, it's good to know that there is such a thing." Seeing that Bai Qige didn't seem to care, the queen didn't continue to say deeply, and turned her meaningful gaze to a bottle of fire kite flowers on the wooden shelf, "You see that flower is blooming gorgeously, and the flowers are all intoxicating red, but who knows that this bouquet of flowers originally had a white one." Originally, the white light and elegant and noble is better than the red flower, but it can be matched with this red too much to compete for the limelight, and it looks very incongruous at a glance, so the palace asked people to cut the white flower, although it is a pity, but at least it does not damage the scenery of this vase of flowers. ”

If flowers are used as metaphors, the queen is the same. Bai Qige could hear the deep meaning of the queen's words, and when she thought that she was a rising bird after all, she couldn't help but think of what Yi Chenjing said, the queen back then was also a powerful character, better than her.

"Qi Ge remembers the teachings of the queen."

The queen nodded: "You are a smart child, what the palace says is a little clear, ask more and see more if you encounter anything in the harem in the future, don't rush forward by yourself, or be slapped in the face." This Huanqing Palace occupies a clear word, it is really unusual, you can move around more when you have nothing to do, to accompany the palace to talk, relieve boredom. Many things can't be explained thoroughly for a while, and in the future, when our mother and daughter get along, this palace will tell you slowly. ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Qige should do her best." I stole a glance at the hourglass, and it was already afternoon. Bai Qige got up and saluted: "It's not early, Qige will no longer delay the queen's rest, if there is nothing to do, she will retire first." ”

"Go ahead." The queen waved her hand, as if tiredly leaning back on the cushion and closing her eyes to rest.

In the end, she has been a queen for many years, and her every move is full of style, and Bai Qige can't do it with this kind of demeanor. Exited the door lightly, but through the door, I heard the queen's low sigh and it was not very clear.

"What the emperor hates the most is that white flower."

After a pause, Bai Qige took a deep breath.

If it is said that the queen overstepped her authority and interfered in politics to cause Emperor Yao's suppression and grounding, then she is afraid that she will not be much better because she is too popular. General Guangshu may be demoted to a side room, and Emperor Yao's actions are not cutting off the most eye-catching white flower.

In this palace, it is really difficult and dangerous.

Slowly walked back to the dust Xuan, it was dinner time, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw Yi Chenjing walking around the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and Bai Qige coughed lightly: "What are you turning around?" This ground is about to be trampled by you. ”

"And ask me. Where did you run away without a sound, I don't know if I'm worried. As soon as he pulled Bai Qige over his forehead, he snapped his fingers, and Yi Chenjing pinched the tip of his round and beautiful nose hard, "Don't think that Yi Chenxuan will be safe when he leaves the palace, how many people are looking at you and you should have a number in your heart." ”

Isn't the person who is most eyeing your father? Bai Qige rolled her eyes and slandered.

She didn't plan to tell Yi Chenjing about the choice that Emperor Yao was forced to choose for the time being, after all, Emperor Yao had only released thunder and no downpour, and talking nonsense was easy to make Yi Chenjing, who didn't trust Emperor Yao, make an unexpected move.

"Didn't tell me what you're anxious about, it's definitely not my late return." Slapping away Yi Chenjing's wanton hand on his face, Bai Qige glared fiercely.

"Just now, Gonggong Tao came to deliver a message, and my father asked the two of us to go to the dormitory later, and I don't know what to say." When it came to Emperor Yao, Yi Chenjing's rare interest in playing was immediately dispelled, "He is not in the palace during the day, I think he is going to see Yi Chenxuan, I don't know how many complaints there are at this time, you just take your skin and go, and your ears and heart will be left in the dust Xuan." ”

"When did you learn to be so flamboyant." raised his eyebrows and stepped on it, but Yi Chenjing, who had been on guard, quickly jumped away, and the two of them played a game of stepping in the courtyard unscrupulously, completely unexpectedly that another twist and turn would appear in front of them.
