"According to the slaves, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are so affectionate, no matter how the Crown Princess makes trouble with His Royal Highness the Prince, she is very tolerant, and it is normal to be pregnant after being married for so long." The housekeeper beside the governor of Huaibei said respectfully.

The governor of Huaibei frowned, and then he walked to the desk and quickly read a book, he handed the folded paper to the butler and said in a deep voice: "In case you suddenly want to eat Huaibei specialties, it is better to investigate clearly and then conclude." ”

"Yes, the minion will do it." The butler carefully took the letter handed to him by the Governor and put it in his sleeve, and with that, he quickly withdrew.

Not long after the butler left, the Governor had just taken a sip of a cup of tea on the table, when a panicked servant quickly walked into the room, followed by a messenger who was in the dust.

"Slave see my lord, there is a letter from the capital." The minions and messengers knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.

The teacup in his hand was put down, and the governor of Huaibei looked at the messenger and said, "Letter." ”

The messenger respectfully took a sealed letter from the envelope he was carrying, and presented it respectfully with both hands above his head.

After the governor of Huaibei took the letter, he looked at it with a shock, and then hurriedly walked to the charcoal stove in the house and put down the letter paper, which burned clean in an instant.

"Prepare, I'm going to the courtyard where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives." He said in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir." The subordinate quickly retreated.

There are many dangers in Huaibei, because of the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess left Beijing and the situation is rolling, the Queen Mother of Shoude Palace just got up and received a letter from Huaibei, opened it and saw that her face was first shocked and then joyful, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"But what's going on?" Mama Lian brought tea for the Queen Mother and asked softly.

The Queen Mother took the tea and handed the letter to Mama Lian, and then said with a kind face: "Although the mourning family is very angry that the prince and the princess suddenly left the palace, this happy event is still worth celebrating, and the mourning family will definitely protect themselves with Bai Yuzhu's thoughts." ”

After Mama Lian finished reading it, she first bowed to the Queen Mother, and then said respectfully: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, the crown princess Bing Xue will definitely protect herself from being harmed." ”

The Queen Mother took a sip of ginseng tea, and looked at Mama Lian with a chuckle, but the next moment her face was slightly gloomy, and she said meaningfully: "The dragon descendant who is pregnant with the prince is not her intention, she wants to use this dragon descendant to let the mourning family let go of her from now on, and no longer bind her hands and feet, although the prince is very happy to have the dragon descendant mourning family, but the mourning family is more worried about what will happen in the future......"

Mama Lian looked at the Queen Mother and reassured: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry too much, the slave believes that the Queen Mother will have a way to solve this matter." ”

The Queen Mother did not feel a little relaxed because of Mama Lian's comfort, but was even more worried: "Now that the old lady is gone, no one can stop Bai Yuzhu." On the day when the concubine entered the palace in the East Palace, you didn't know how she targeted Princess Anyang, how could this Princess Anyang also be the princess of Loulan Kingdom, she actually threw the phoenix seal in the boiling water and let Princess Anyang take it herself, and the mourning family heard that Princess Anyang's hands were so hot that they were full of blisters, and the flesh and blood were blurry......

"The queen mother knows the temper of the crown princess, although she is a little ruthless, but she also gives the concubines of the East Palace a dismount to let them know who is their master, although it is a little heavier, but the effect of setting an example is not bad, the slave maid heard that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princess are not in the palace in the East Palace, the concubines in the palace are very well-behaved, and there is no contradiction." Mama Lian looked at the Queen Mother with complexity in her eyes and said respectfully.

"The affairs of the East Palace are just some small things, and the mourning family is worried about the affairs of the crown prince and the crown princess in Huaibei." The Queen Mother put down the ginseng tea in her hand and said to Mama Lian in a worried tone.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought five hundred elite soldiers and dozens of personal guards to Huaibei, the crown princess has Yeling and Ninghua in the Western Regions by her side, nothing will happen, the Queen Mother relaxed and cultivated well." Mama Lian comforted the Queen Mother, wanting to alleviate the worry in the Queen Mother's heart a little.

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to support her forehead, she sighed and said weakly: "Since the death of the old lady, the mourning family has become more and more powerless, more and more weak, and the mourning family's body is getting weaker and weaker, and I am afraid that I will not be able to live for a few years." ”

"Queen Mother, don't say that, the Queen Mother will last for generations." Even Mama hurriedly spoke in fear.

"That's it, these concubines in the East Palace can keep to themselves, and other matters in the palace will be handled by the queen." The Queen Mother said lightly, and then thought for a while, she looked at Lian Mama for a moment, and she said in a deep voice: "Xiaolian, why don't you go to the General's Mansion now and tell the General Bai Qing the news that Bai Yuzhu is pregnant." ”

Mama Lian was shocked when she heard this, she hurriedly lowered her voice and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the Queen Mother, if the general knows that the crown princess is pregnant, and the crown princess is now in Huaibei ......."

"This is exactly what the mourning family is worried about...... "The queen mother said as she was about to get up from the chair, and even Mama Lian stepped forward to help, and she said in an intriguing tone: "Although Huaibei has a governor in charge of military affairs, most of the military affairs are still served by captains together, to put it simply, the army in Huaibei is basically controlled by the general's mansion, if you tell the general about the princess being pregnant with a dragon now, maybe it can make him less embarrassed by the prince, they are, after all, there is nothing more important than the dragon descendant." ”

"Of course, it would be best if the old lady used this method in the world, but now the general hates the crown princess very much...... If the general knows that the crown princess is pregnant with a dragonborn, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity......" Lian Mama looked at the queen mother nervously, hesitated, and said in a worried tone: "The slave said something disrespectful, although the dragonborn is very important, but if the dragonborn has a good one, it is the crown princess who is hurt, and making the princess Niangniang suffer is what the general wants to see the most." ”

As soon as Mama Lian's words fell, the Queen Mother's face turned cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The mourning family sees that he dares to hurt the dragon descendant in Bai Yuzhu's belly!" If once the dragon descendant is born, the poison between Bai Yuzhu and the crown prince is resolved, it doesn't matter whether she is dead or alive, what the mourning family wants is the heir to contain the Great General's Mansion for a long time......"

"It is indeed a matter of urgency to contain the general, however, now that the crown princess Niangniang married into the East Palace, it can be regarded as a good way to contain the general, although according to the temper of the crown princess, she may turn her face one day and leave the royal family, if it is handled properly, such a thing will not generally happen, not to mention that the crown princess is pregnant, and it is necessary to protect it well, when the dragon descent is born, the queen mother uses the dragon descent to contain the general, and the crown princess is here, so she can completely stabilize the court." Mama Lian continued to analyze and said to the Queen Mother.

"What you said about the mourning family understands it in their hearts, but the mourning family wants you to tell the general the news that the crown princess is pregnant, to tell the general not to make the officials in Huaibei embarrassed them, and more importantly, let them keep the crown princess, rather than let the crown princess be harmed." The Queen Mother looked at Mama Lian with cold eyes and said in a deep voice.

Lian Mama looked at the Queen Mother, and could see that the Queen Mother had made up her mind, and she asked cautiously: "Then at least there must be a threatening bargaining chip, so that the general can obey the Queen Mother's orders." ”

"No, the mourning family asked you to say this in person, and he would understand what it meant in his heart." The Queen Mother shook her head, looked at Mama Lian and said.

"That'...... The slave maid will go to the General's Mansion now. Seeing that the Queen Mother had given the final result, Mama Lian said respectfully.

"Go ahead." The Queen Mother nodded and motioned for Mama Lian to leave.

After even Mama left, the Queen Mother went to Jingren Hall to worship the Buddha, and she did not leave the Buddha Hall for most of the day.

The crown princess Bai Yuzhu was pregnant, except for the queen mother, Bai Qing knew about it, and sent away Lian Mama, Bai Qing sat in the study with a gloomy and cold face, and then reached out to open the letter placed in front of the table, and after opening it and looking at it, he picked up the ink pen and wrote a letter and called loudly: "Someone." ”

"The minions are here." In an instant, Hou Hou's subordinate outside the door quickly walked into the house.

"Send this letter to Captain Zhang Zixian of Huaibei, remember, hand it over to Zhang Zixian with your own hands, and you are not allowed to fake others." Bai Qing put the folded letter in the white envelope and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the minion will do it." The subordinate stepped forward, respectfully took the letter, and then quickly withdrew.

"I saw Mama Lian when I came over just now, what did she come here for all of a sudden?" When Li Hui'er came to the study, the maid behind him was holding a celadon vase in her hand, which was full of pink peach blossoms, which was extraordinarily bright.

As soon as Bai Qing saw Li Hui'er coming, he lowered his heart and said gently: "It's just some small things, why didn't you go to enjoy the flowers with Xue'er today." ”

Li Hui'er tightened her hands in her sleeves, she reached out and took the vase full of peach blossoms from the maid's hand, walked to the flower stand next to the desk and placed the vase on the flower table, and said softly: "The master has been in a bad mood recently, how can Xue'er and I appreciate this flower, if you want to enjoy the flowers, you have to go with us to enjoy the flowers." ”

Bai Qing stretched out his hand to hold Li Hui'er's hand, and he said mildly: "The weather is good today, so let's enjoy the flowers together, our family hasn't enjoyed the flowers together for a long time." ”

Li Hui'er's face was as gentle as water, and she said softly: "But isn't it, it's been several months since the old lady died, the weather is slowly getting hotter, and the flowers outside are blooming very delicately. ”

"Hmm." Bai Qing got up as he responded.

"By the way, sir, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Niangniang have been going to Huaibei for so many months, when will they return to the palace?" Li Hui'er and Bai Qing said casually after taking two steps, paused slightly, and she was surprised again: "Grandma Lian just came, wouldn't something happen?" ”

"Nothing happened...... It's just Bai Yuzhu that she ......" Bai Qing saw that his wife was so surprised, he blurted out, but before he finished speaking, he paused, and said, "That's it, it's not a big deal." ”

"Master, there is something you and I husband and wife can't tell me for decades." Li Hui'er stopped, she looked at Bai Qing and asked, "What happened?" Is the crown princess coming to embarrass the lord again! It's so damning! ”

"No, she's pregnant." Bai Qing saw that Li Hui'er was full of hatred, and he hurriedly spoke out to appease.

Li Hui'er suddenly trembled, and the whole person looked at Bai Qing in disbelief, and she said in shock: "Huai...... Pregnant? ”
