The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the name of the year to Jian'an, and several canonized decrees were also issued on the day of his accession to the throne.

Among them, the most surprising thing is that Li Mingze was canonized as King Zhuang, enjoying the prince's fortune, and can live in the capital forever. Princess Yongming and Princess Yongqing remained unchanged, but they were each rewarded with fiefs.

The least surprising thing is that Mei Xue was canonized as the crown princess, and there was no side concubine to be crowned.

Some people say that the new emperor and the crown prince are generous, and they treat the orphans of the first emperor so kindly.

But some people even say that the doctor Mei Xue really boiled her head, flew on the branches and became a phoenix.

The holy decree of canonizing the crown princess was sent to Mei Mansion by Song Zhijie with the inner servant, Mei Xue went out of the courtyard to greet him personally, and said with a smile:

"The DPRK is busy, how can Mr. Song have to make this trip?"

Song Zhijie smiled and waved his hand, saluted Mei Xue and said:

"Your Majesty is filial, and at this time of the day, he has to put aside state affairs to serve the Empress Dowager for dinner. I was too lazy to come to the girl's place to ask for a cup of tea. ”

Mei Xue nodded with a smile, but she knew that what Song Zhijie said was definitely an excuse.

Sure enough, after receiving the holy decree, he sat down to drink tea, and after Jiu'er and the others withdrew, Song Zhijie said to Mei Xue:

"The third prince and the imperial grandson were both named princes this time, but His Majesty didn't mention the second master, and Concubine Lin was about to go crazy with anger.

It should be to be angry with His Majesty, she refused to enter the palace under the pretext of taking care of the second master, and took the opportunity to leave the county lord in the palace.

The second lady's due date is in these two days, whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl, and the news can reach the capital in two days at most. ”

Li Jinhuan did not receive any reward, but Sister Han was still named the county lord as usual.

Emperor Jian'an is very fond of his only grandchild, and he sees him almost every day.

Concubine Lin's move was obviously fighting with Emperor Jian'an, and even tried to use Sister Han to control Emperor Jian'an.

Mei Xue smiled and said:

"Concubine Lin is also too anxious, if the second lady gives birth to a boy, she is afraid that she will lose her sense of proportion."

Concubine Lin asked the second lady Huang Qingya to diagnose her pulse several times, but she said that she was pregnant with a girl, so she threw Huang Qingya in Hankou and ignored her.

But from a personal point of view, Mei Xue still hopes that Huang Qingya can give birth to a boy.

is not patriarchal, but pity Huang Qingya from the bottom of his heart.

If she can have a son, she will be able to suffer less in the hands of Concubine Lin in the future.

Song Zhijie's purpose in coming this time was to remind Mei Xue to beware of Concubine Lin, and seeing that she already understood, he didn't say more.

After lunch, it was estimated that the Empress Dowager had already taken a nap, and Mei Xue took a carriage to the palace.

The carriage was stopped at the street corner of Lilac, and Concubine Lin, wearing a hat, actually came to the door in person.

Mei Xue smiled in her heart, where is this, why is Concubine Lin in such a hurry?

Concubine Lin took off her hat as soon as she got into the carriage, and the tiredness and impatience in her eyes were clear at a glance.

Mei Xue was indifferent and looked at her indifferently.

Concubine Lin suddenly had red circles in her eyes and said:

"If you say that you are ruthless, the queen is even more than me. Back then, the prince was still young, didn't she have the heart to attack him?

After all, I was still designed by her to enter the game, why do you have to hate me so much? ”

Mei Xue laughed angrily, looked at Concubine Lin and said:

"Niangniang, I first want to state to you that the second master's illness is not that I deliberately did not treat it, but that there is really no good way.

Secondly, the grievances between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother have nothing to do with me. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has forgiven, why should I hold a grudge?

In addition, only you said that it was the queen mother who killed the prince, but we didn't say that. ”

Empress Xiao really moved her mind back then, and she didn't need to justify it on the grounds of "ineffective restraint".

But she also used half of her life to compensate, she raised Li Jinzhi to grow up, and protected him all the time.

Just like Li Jinzhi once said, without the protection of the queen, he didn't know how many times he would die at the hands of Concubine Lin when he was young.

But now, Concubine Lin still wants to use this to provoke the relationship between her and Empress Xiao, is she really a fool?

Concubine Lin put away her tears, looked at Mei Xue coldly and said:

"Don't you remember how many dying people you healed? What's more, my son is still alive today, which means that his illness is not incurable at all, and you are obviously deliberately shirking it.

Is this your conscience as a doctor? ”

Mei Xue was still unmoved, and only spread her hands to show that she was powerless.

If she saves Li Jinhuan, it will be tantamount to her wanting Huang Qingya to take Huangquan Road again.

Mei Xue has long understood that Li Jinhuan was folded in Huang Qingya's hands, and others have no evidence, but if Li Jinhuan wakes up, Huang Qingya will definitely be unable to escape her fate.

Concubine Lin left angrily, and when she left, she looked back at Mei Xue and said:

"Mei Xue, I want to see how proud you can be in the spring breeze one day!"

Mei Xue nodded, smiled and said:

"In order not to disappoint my mother, I must live better.

In addition, I also remind Niangniang that people are watching the sky, even if it is only for your grandchildren, please think twice about everything. ”

Judging from Emperor Jian'an's current attitude towards Concubine Lin's mother and son, if she goes to trouble again, there will definitely be only a dead end.

Seeing that Concubine Lin was so angry that her face turned colorful, Jiu'er, who was following the carriage, almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

As Mei Xue hoped, Huang Qingya really gave birth to a boy.

When the news reached the capital, Emperor Jian'an was overjoyed.

Empress Xiao was also overjoyed, she had always gotten along well with Huang Qingya, and loved Huang Qingya as a junior from the bottom of her heart.

Empress Xiao immediately arranged for someone to go to Hankou to pick up Huang Qingya's mother and son back to Beijing, and Concubine Lin took her granddaughter into the palace on the same day after learning the news, and cried in front of Emperor Jian'an and said:

"Your Majesty, Jinhuan's child is pitiful, he has his own son, but he can't see it."

Emperor Jian'an was about to go to Cining Palace with Li Jinzhi, and waited patiently for Concubine Lin to finish crying, so he looked at her coldly and said:

"Your mind is very clear, but Mei Xue is a person, and she is not a fairy, do you want me to kill her?

I am a father, how can I not feel sorry for my children?

But what Jinhuan did to the Huang family at the beginning, you know best in your heart.

After the Huang family returns to Beijing, if you want, you will hand over Jinhuan to her to take care of. If you don't worry, you can continue to live in the palace and take care of yourself! ”

These words were said very ruthlessly, Concubine Lin's face turned white, and she didn't even dare to shed tears.

Sister Han watched Concubine Lin beat and scolded her biological mother Aunt Chen every day, and she was very afraid and disgusted with her.

When she finally saw Emperor Jian'an today, she refused to be with Concubine Lin again, and only held Emperor Jian'an's hand and cried.

Li Jin felt sorry for Sister Han'er, bent down and hugged her in his arms, and the three of them went to Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager's body has actually collapsed, and no matter how hard Mei Xue tries her best, she is just dragging her feet.

Princess Chenyang was waiting for her to take medicine, and the county lord of Changle was sitting beside her with her daughter Shen Qiuyue in her arms.

After drinking the medicine and rinsing her mouth, the Empress Dowager took a breath and said:

"Mei Xue, this child has no mother's family, but these six rites must be completed, and outsiders must not look down on her.

As for my old bones, I have to hold on for a few more days anyway, otherwise, she and Jinzhi will have to keep filial piety again, and the marriage will have to drag on. ”

Princess Chenyang nodded, put the brocade quilt for the Empress Dowager, and said softly:

"Don't worry about the queen mother, the imperial sister-in-law also said the same, the marriage is handled by her, and there will be no mistakes."

The county lord of Changle smiled and said:

"Mei Xue is not a calculating character, although she doesn't say it, she is actually very tired of those red tapes."

Princess Chenyang glanced at her daughter and said:

"You are also a mother, don't be so open-mouthed in the future.

Mei Xue is going to be the queen in the future, and she should not be criticized anywhere, her dignity should be given by the royal family.

You shouldn't be big or small in front of her in the future, at least you can't call her by her name anymore. ”

The county lord of Changle was not happy, and stood up with his daughter in his arms and said:

"Mother, Mei Xue is my best friend, if we are destined to have a life in the future, then wouldn't all these years of friendship be a show?"

Thinking of the past, thinking of the ending of Emperor Mingde's family of three, the county lord of Changle suddenly couldn't help crying.

Mei Xue arrived at the door at this time, she had already heard the conversation between Princess Chenyang's mother and daughter, so she walked over and picked up Shen Qiuyue into her arms and hugged her, and then said to the county lord of Changle:

"County Lord, in this life, you can call me by my name.

I also hope that when we all have gray hair, we will not have regrets, because we have all lived freely and freely. ”

The county lord of Changle cried, tilted his head on Mei Xue's shoulder and kept choking.

Emperor Jian'an has ordered someone to go to Yuezhou to pick up the orphans of the Meng family and return to Beijing, but this turmoil, the wounds left in the hearts of the clan relatives and courtiers and the people cannot be easily healed.
