The eldest princess is the only daughter of the first emperor, and after the current emperor ascended the throne, she was named the eldest princess of Yongtao, from the period of the Cheng Wangfu to the palace, this princess was extremely favored, but she did not follow the path of flying and domineering, but fell deeper and deeper into the water of the mournful green lake, hurting chūn sad autumn at every turn, crying because of flying flowers, and crying because of the river that went east - of course, this is a certain xìng character characteristic that will only be revealed in front of the closest people.

She looked at the Queen Mother resentfully, and said: "The emperor's brother is too, which family is not good, I have to give it to the Fan family, I know that the Fan family and the prime minister are ......."

"You go out first. The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes, lowered her voice but said two words very majestically. The grandmothers were expressionless and quietly withdrew.

"Smack!", a red palm print appeared on the eldest princess's face, and she looked at her mother in front of her with fear in her eyes. The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said coldly: "How many times have I said, don't put that person in front of me! You don't have a face, our royal family still needs to have face! If you hadn't protected him with your own life, I would have killed that person a long time ago!"

"Over the years, I haven't let him see Chen'er, but I haven't put any obstacles in his way. The kindness of the Queen Mother has long since disappeared at this time, and her face is full of frost, "Because I know that when he wanted to marry you, you were afraid of misleading his future, so you didn't marry...... If you want to give him a future, I will give him a future, and now that he is the head of a hundred officials, you should also fulfill your original wish, but ...... I don't allow you to have anything to do with him anymore, and in Chen'er's marriage, the family surnamed Lin can't have any right to speak, understand?"

The eldest princess wiped away her tears and smiled hard, but her voice trembled a little: "Got it." ”

The Queen Mother then turned around, looked at the queen, and said lightly: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, and for things like this, you should be more careful, and you should do more about the marriage of your own children, but since the emperor promised Chen'er to the Fan family, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Yes. The queen was already shocked by the scene just now, and hurriedly bowed her head in response.

"Queen, don't always serve by the side of the mourning family, when you have free time, you still have to accompany the emperor more and relieve your majesty's worries. The Queen Mother's tone was much softer, and the meaning of encouragement between the words was obvious.

The queen smiled bitterly and responded, and suddenly her brows furrowed, as if she had thought of something.

The Queen Mother didn't know the truth of these people's thoughts, and said softly: "Just say something about it." ”

The queen glanced at the eldest princess who was still wiping her tears, and said in a low voice: "Gonggong Hong sent someone to say that a case is being tried in the Kyoto Mansion today. ”

"Oh, what a case, even the old dog is interested. ”

The queen smiled embarrassedly: "Queen Mother, this matter is actually of interest to everyone in the capital, because this case has been in trouble in the palace in the morning, and it has not been until there is a result before...... I heard that it was Guo Baokun, the only son of Guo Youzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who sued the one in Fanfu, saying that he beat Guo Baokun in the street last night, and chanted a poem, this poem ...... The queen mother also watched it before. ”

"Oh?" the Queen Mother was very surprised and said, "Ten thousand miles of sad autumn often beat people as guests?"

As soon as these words came out, the queen next to her couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and even the eldest princess burst into tears and laughed, saying, "Mother is really funny when she speaks. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "It's not that I'm funny, it's that Fan Xian is interesting, it's only been a few days in Beijing, why did you beat Shangshu's son, tell the mourning family, what kind of scene is on this mansion." She suddenly thought of something, frowned, and said, "Kyoto Prefecture didn't dare to use torture, right? This is going to be broken, how can you get married in October?"

The queen sneered and said: "What is the queen mother talking about, although Fan Xian is not from a serious background, but after all, he is Si Nanbo's flesh and blood, and he has talent in his chest and abdomen, and he has long had a talent background, so it is impossible to be beaten." ”

"That's good. The Queen Mother said: "Then Guo Baokun is not one of those people who is often with the prince?"

I don't know why, the queen's face suddenly became a little uneasy, and she answered in a low voice. Sure enough, the Queen Mother snorted and said: "Those little rabbit cubs will only persuade Cheng Qian to go around and make eagles, they are all bad in their stomachs, needless to say, that Fan Xian must play well." ”

The eldest princess's expression did not move, but her mood was very complicated, she never expected that her mother would think that the illegitimate son of the Fan family was good at playing without asking the reason, but she had only been slapped before, and it was inconvenient to speak at this time. Fortunately, the queen said meaninglessly: "That Guo Bian also has a bit of talent, so it is always a little unreasonable to be beaten on the street." ”

seemed to notice that the queen was not quite the same as her own thoughts, and the queen mother did not react, and asked lightly: "What is the result of the trial of the case?"

"Fan Xian moved the prince of King Jing to come out as a witness, so the Kyoto government had no choice but to temporarily postpone the retrial. ”

"Hongcheng gave him a witness? It seems that this little Fan Xian still has some popularity. ”

The queen was secretly happy in her heart, knowing that although the queen mother did not have anything on the surface, she was actually most tired of the too close connection between the hundred officials and the royal family, but she also knew that things had to be measured and it was impossible to say too much, so she turned the topic back: "I heard that on the night when Guo Bian was beaten, the son of the Fan family and the prince of the family were on the Liujing River...... stay, so this matter should have nothing to do with him. ”

There was silence in the back garden of the palace for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing, and the Queen Mother suddenly got up and said, "I'm a little tired." The ladies of the palace outside caught up and helped, and a large group of people walked on the way back to the palace.

After watching the queen mother's drive slowly turn into the palace wall, the queen and the eldest princess stood up and glanced at each other. A wry smile appeared at the corner of the queen's lips: "It seems that although the queen mother is very unhappy that the Fan family is a prostitute, her tone has not loosened." I'm afraid that after half a year, Chen'er will really get married. ”

The eldest princess sighed and said, "I'm just worried about Fan Xian's character, but ......" She looked at the queen, her weak expression was like a weeping willow on the riverside, and she said softly: "The Fan family has a good relationship with the Jingwang Mansion, and the queen should be careful." ”

The queen was in her heart, knowing that the other party was reminding herself that if the kid surnamed Fan really married the other party's daughter, and His Majesty really handed over the business of Neiku Nalu to the Fan family to manage, then the Fan family's father and son, one in the household department and the other in the inner treasury, would be equivalent to mastering the silver money exchanges of Qingguo Dashu. And if the Fan family really fell to the second prince because of the relationship between the Jingwang Mansion, they were afraid of the crown prince...... She frowned, thinking to herself that although her son was not successful, after all, he was the only descendant of His Majesty, could it be that His Majesty's move had any deep meaning?

"Don't overthink it. The eldest princess comforted: "You also know, in the past two years, I have rarely taken care of the affairs of the inner treasury, and the Supervision Yuan has always been guarded by people, after all, the Fan family's identity is not enough, the one named Fan Xian, even if he really marries Chen'er, it is impossible to really control the inner treasury." ”

The queen frowned and said, "I'm just very suspicious now, what kind of soup did that old guy Fan Jian pour into the emperor, and he actually said that his majesty was moved." ”

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Niangniang shouldn't have summoned the Liu family into the palace for a long time, right?"

The queen's face was cold, and she said: "That woman marrying Fan Jianzuo as a concubine seems stupid, but in fact, she is cunning and ruthless in her heart. Four years ago, you came up with the idea to kill the illegitimate son of Lanzhou, but it turned out to be the head of the Liu family, she must have a grudge against us, and then try to lure her out as a shield, but I am afraid it will not be easy. ”

"So what?" the eldest princess smiled, her skin in her thirties was still very good, "Does she dare to say anything? Besides, I have known Liu since childhood, and I know that she is a person who likes to drill the horns of the bull." ”

The queen suddenly frowned and said, "It's strange to say, why did Your Majesty decide to hand over the inner library to the Fan family four years ago? If it wasn't for the urgency of the matter, there would be no need to take risks at that time." The eldest princess said softly and weakly: "The emperor's brother doesn't like me to have too good a relationship with you, so he has long decided to let me get rid of the inner curry...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked the dean to send someone to garrison me from the beginning. ”

She then sighed and said: "This civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter how foolish they are, there is always a way to control them, but that Dean Chen, who is loyal to His Majesty, takes care of the affairs of the academy thoroughly, and we can't put it in the hands of people." ”

Hearing this, the queen frowned imperceptibly: "As a courtier, it is a matter of course to be loyal to His Majesty, and we are secretly planting people, but we are also worried that the lord will be deceived by the ministers, and Dean Chen's loyalty can be learned, so there is no need to say anything." The eldest princess knew that she had said the wrong thing, and said softly: "Yes, but the Supervision Yuan's investigation of the assassination case in Lanzhou has not stopped over the years, and it seems that it is a strict order from His Majesty." ”

"It's nature. At that time, when His Majesty saw your daughter after drinking, he was very happy, and accepted her as a righteous daughter on the spot, and pointed her out to the Fan family, which only a few people in the palace knew. The queen recalled the scene four years ago, and said coldly: "As a result, within a month, there was an assassin in Lanzhou, although this matter was not opened, but the Supervision Yuan was clear, how could His Majesty not know the truth? He naturally didn't care about the life or death of that illegitimate son, but he was very concerned about the fact that in this palace, someone dared to leak his words." ”
