After dressing as a deposed prince's favorite concubine Section 178
The emperor is quite talented in Danqing calligraphy, and his Danqing attainments are more charming than people like Xiao Yanxing, who are called Tianzhong assets by Mr. Mu. It is estimated that if it weren't for the emperor's limited overall situation in governing the country, he would be regarded as a person with outstanding qualifications.
At this time, the emperor was painting, and the two children were lying on the table one on the left and one right, and the fat little fingers were pulling wantonly. Make a mess of a piece of fine rice paper at the end of the hand. However, the emperor was not angry, reached out and touched Yoyo's little head, staring at the little girl's beautiful little face. With a few strokes, the scribbled gesture was drawn.
"What's the girl's name?" The two children have been in Daming Palace for a few days, and the emperor has not asked for their names.
When the chamberlain heard this, he immediately went back and forth: "I heard that Xiao Shizi's nickname is called Lu Mian." The small county lord ......"
"Yo Yo!" The little guy's black paws slapped on the bulging little belly, and the clapping sounded, "Yo Yo Lu Ming, Yo Yo Yo!" ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect such a young child to remember this.
The ancestors and grandchildren were talking and laughing in the house, and Wang Shu stood outside the door with Wang Ruyi and heard it clearly.
Wang Ruyi was stunned, he really didn't expect the emperor to get along with the child in such a harmonious scene. is a little princess, and the emperor has never been so loving. Wang Ruyi felt a strange feeling in her heart, and asked the nurse to put the little princess down. She took the little princess by the hand and walked to the steps herself.
Waiting for the doorkeeper to announce, the inside answered. Wang Ruyi led the little princess into the inner hall with a smile on her face.
As soon as he entered, Wang Ruyi's smiling face stiffened for a moment. It was not only surprised that the emperor allowed Wang Shu's children to sit on his lap, but also surprised that these two children looked like fairies beside the Bodhisattva. Her little princess was sinned against when she was a child, and she almost didn't raise it. The body is a little weak. In order to protect her daughter, Wang Ruyi raised her even more delicately. Usually I can hold it, so I won't let the child walk on the ground.
In other words, the little princess is very squeamish. Not to mention the small size, the thin ones are not comparable to the two fat balls.
Kid, it's still fat and good-looking. The little princess is too thin and small, and she looks like a sick cat, so people can't get close. Although the emperor also sincerely loved this youngest child, it was true that he never hugged it.
I didn't see each other much, and the little princess was afraid of life, and the relationship between father and daughter was not as deep as the love between the dragon and phoenix fetus in the past few days.
Wang Ruyi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. But he still smiled and pulled the little princess up to meet his father.
The little princess looked at the emperor pitifully with big and outrageous eyes, like a little deer cub who had been thrown out of the nest. Not daring to approach, he stood timidly three steps away, and bowed crookedly as an adult.
The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth faded, and he sighed, "Wangxi, come here from my father." ”
Xiao Wangxi looked back at his mother pitifully, and under Wang Ruyi's hint, he walked slowly towards the emperor. As a result, he didn't walk steadily halfway through, and fell to the ground with a click. She curled the corners of her mouth and immediately began to cry.
The child's cry stabbed people's brains and hurt with melon seeds, and the emperor was already low on energy. I lost interest right now.
Wang Ruyi was a little anxious in his heart, and before he could say what he wanted to say, the emperor lost interest.
She rushed up and hugged the child, hugging people and coaxing them. However, the more the child cried, the louder he cried, and he couldn't hold it. I was in a hurry to take it away like this, which made the emperor angry. The child in his arms suddenly stopped crying. Wang Ruyi raised his head in disbelief and saw a chubby little doll grabbing Xiao Wangxi's hand.
Xiao Junheng raised his hand and touched her face, especially the little adult said: "Don't cry, noisy." ”
Xiao Wanglu pursed his mouth, and he really didn't cry anymore.
The emperor was a little curious, and Wang Ruyi took the opportunity to speak: "Your Majesty, the little princess has never seen a child about the same age as her, and she wants to play with the little princess." Can you let the little princess go to Xingqing Palace to sit down? ”
The emperor's body was already tired, and his eyes rolled on the faces of several children. Seeing that the little princess did look at Xiao Junheng with a blank eye. And Yo You, who was beside him, climbed down at some point, got to the other side of the little princess, and grabbed the little girl's other hand. The three children face each other hand in hand, looking at each other with wide eyes, is indeed quite interesting.
Without much thought, the Emperor agreed.
Wang Ruyi was overjoyed, gave a salute to the emperor at the moment, and returned to Xingqing Palace with the two children.
Chapter 141
Wang Ruyi doesn't say anything else, it's really reliable.
said that she would bring the two children over, Wang Shu waited for half an hour, and she really brought the two children over. In addition to Mama Yuan and the two grandmothers around the child, there are also the great eunuchs who serve by the emperor's side.
The big eunuch estimated that the emperor had an unusual attitude towards the two children, and he naturally did his best to take care of them. The two children are not afraid of being born at all, and they stay like fish in water in the palace for half a month. If you hadn't entered the inner hall, you would suddenly see Wang Shu. These two children still can't remember their parents. Xiao Junheng saw Wang Shu first, like a small hammer flying in the air, and a fierce man rushed into Wang Shu's arms.
This kid doesn't like to scream, so he rushed over and hugged Wang Shu's thigh and laughed.
Yoyou was a little slower than him, and only saw Wang Shu when he found that his brother had run away. At that moment, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over.
As soon as the eunuch entered the Xingqing Palace, he was sent by Wang Ruyi to drink tea in the side hall, but he didn't find that there were others in the inner hall at this time. Mama Yuan saw that Wang Shuxin almost didn't fly out of her throat, so she walked over quickly.
"Why did Niangniang enter the palace?"
"Come and see the kids." Wang Shu hugged the two children left and right, "Is it okay in the palace during this time?" ”
At the mention of this, Mama Yuan's face was a little strange. To be honest, she didn't expect that the emperor, who hated His Highness so much, seemed to really like two children. I often hold it, and patiently accompany the child to paint.
This is like the posture of an ordinary grandfather, which makes Yuan's heart go up and down.
Mama Yuan didn't lie, although she was puzzled by the emperor's strange attitude, she still told Wang Shu about the situation of the two children in the palace during this period of time. After speaking, seeing that Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but say at the moment: "Niangniang, you are too impulsive like this." With His Royal Highness in the palace, the child will be fine. ”
As he spoke, he realized that the voice was too loud, for fear of alarming the great eunuch who was eating tea in the side hall. Hurriedly pressed down his voice again, and said hurriedly: "You entered the palace so rashly, if you are used as a raft by bad people, it will not be beautiful." ”
She said this lightly, but she underestimated the heart of a mother. Although she rarely accompanies her children on weekdays, Wang Shu's love for children is sincere. I didn't know the news, so I was panicked, so I naturally wanted to enter the palace to take a look.
Wang Shu raised her eyes and glanced at her, and Mama Yuan knew that her words had crossed the line. Although this is not a big mistake, it sounds like a lesson to the master. Mama Yuan is also concerned about chaos, how important Wang Shu is to Xiao Yanxing and to the people of the world, she can't have an accident when she is idle. To put it mildly, Xiao Shizi is not as important as Wang Shu. It is indeed too dangerous to enter the palace so presumptuously.
The people in the palace are not outsiders, the people here are all living with their heads hanging on their trouser belts, and everyone has 800 hearts and eyes.
But Mama Yuan didn't dare to talk about these words to her face, and only let Wang Shu talk to the two children.
Xiao Junheng hugged his mother's neck for a long time, and felt wronged in hindsight. In the past, although my mother was very busy, she often went out early and returned late without seeing anyone. But every night when I came back, I would sit on the ground and play with them for half an hour. I haven't seen my mother for such a long time, and the two children finally start to miss her. Xiao Junheng was still pouting, but Yo You was more direct, and she cried when she threw herself into Wang Shu's arms.
The two children rarely cried, and suddenly cried so sadly that Wang Shu's heart hurt.
After holding and coaxing for a long time, the two children were tired of crying and fell asleep in her arms. Wang Shucai sighed faintly. Mama wanted to come over and help, but Wang Shu refused. She carried her two children alone and put them on the soft couch behind her.
As soon as she put it down, Wang Shu noticed that something fell from Xiao Junheng's clothes.
She was stunned for a moment and took it to see. The discovery was a gold token carved with a bat on it.
Wang Shu hurriedly went to touch Yoyo's body. The little girl didn't find any tokens on her, and she had an extra chain around her neck. There is nothing new about the chain itself, it is made of gold. The novelty is that a small dragon is hung on the pendant of this chain.
This is ancient, not the afterlife. What the dragon stands for is self-evident.
"Where did this chain come from?" Wang Shu put away the token and turned her head to ask the two grandmothers.
How did Mama know that they didn't dare to enter the inner hall this afternoon, but only dared to wait in the outer hall.
Mama Yuan glanced at it, and her heart jumped suddenly, "I guess it was given by His Majesty." ”
During this time, the emperor took a lot of things out of his private treasury and played with them for the two children. Very generous. These good things were thrown away after the child finished playing, and the emperor did not return them. What can be stuffed into the children's clothes should be given by the emperor to the two children.
Wang Shu didn't speak, twisted her eyebrows and thought for a moment, unable to guess the emperor's thoughts.
As for the token, Wang Shu didn't take it out and ask Mama. Looking at this posture, it is estimated that the situation is the same as that of Yoyo.
Except for the emperor who would give it, no one else could have this kind of thing to give to the two of them. Wang Shu held the token and looked at it for a long time, not quite sure what this thing was for. The hideous bat face on it looks like a portable token of some institution. According to Wang Shu's experience in later TV dramas, it is absolutely impossible for such a thing as a token to be useless. I just don't know what kind of token this is.
Thinking about it, she shoved it back into the child's clothes. Ordered Mama Yuan to look at it vividly, don't lose it.
Mama Yuan knows the severity, and this thing can't be lost whether it was given by the emperor or not.
Sitting on the edge of the bed and watching the two children fall asleep, when the hour was almost right, Wang Shu quietly left the palace again.
When I returned to my residence, my heart that had been hanging for half a month was put down.
Wang Shu was shocked to realize that she hadn't slept well for several days, and she was slack, and her whole body was sore. However, thinking of those two strange things, Wang Shu still felt unusual. This current emperor is really a strange neurotic, doing things as he pleases, making people unable to figure out the routine. Relying on his strong memory, Wang Shu drew those two things and ordered someone to hand them to Xiao Yanxing for identification.
When Xiao Yanxing received Wang Shu's news, it was already a few days later.
During this time, he has not rested for a long time in order to clean up the mess. I only sleep less than two hours a day, and I have super meetings all the time. As soon as I opened my eyes, there were countless pieces on the desk, and many things were very urgent.
Xiao Chenghuan is really harmful!
Seeing the letter handed by Wang Shu, Xiao Yanxing realized in a trance that he hadn't returned home for a long time. Half a month passed unconsciously, and I don't know if Shu'er was in a hurry to die.
Xiao Yanxing hurriedly opened it to see, not to mention how scared he was when he saw Wang Shu quietly enter the palace. Speaking of the two pictures attached to the letter, Xiao Yanxing was a little surprised when he saw it.
A necklace with a dragon pattern, a token with a bat head. These two things may not be recognized by others, but Xiao Yanxing, who has been cultivated as a prince since childhood, naturally recognizes them. The royal family has a janissary guard who secretly takes care of dirty things. How many people there were in this guard, only the emperor knew. Only follow the instructions of the emperor. As the last shield to protect the emperor, it was hidden deeply.
In other words, in fact, Xiao Yanxing did not come to save the emperor at the beginning. As long as the emperor has the opportunity to use it, Xiao Chenghuan will die sooner or later.
Speaking of which, this is also the disadvantage of this token. Only when he saw the token did he move, and the Praetorian Guard team was very scattered. Without clear instructions from above, the Praetorian guard would easily not have appeared. Confidentiality is extreme, and it is naturally not flexible enough to use.
Xiao Yanxing had heard that the token was a token with a bat head, but he had never seen it. I guessed privately, or it could be something inconspicuous.
"Really?" Xiao Yanxing was also shocked, the token of the bat head.
But why did the emperor give him his son? Xiao Yanxing was also confused by the old emperor's actions. He always does things unexpectedly.
However, before Xiao Yanxing could figure out the emperor's thoughts, the thoughts of the ministers came alive again. Xiao Yanxing worked diligently to turn the tide in the past 20 days and quickly put an end to the chaotic situation caused by the former prince. The ability is unquestionable. Moreover, the emperor's health has not been good. They were really worried that the emperor would suddenly die one day, and there would be chaos in the capital.
For the sake of the future situation, it is natural to appoint a prince as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be another Xiao Chenghuan, and Daqing will die.
Their preferred prince is naturally Xiao Yanxing.
The canonization of the crown prince was again put on the agenda.
This time, the voices of the government and the opposition were exceptionally unified. Even if the Gao family objected, it was troubled, and it was quickly drowned in the cold eyes and ridicule of the supporters. The Gao family was resentful, and tried several times to refuse the fifth prince to come to power, but the fifth prince was still young, and he really had no merits. The only thing worthy of praise for being studious and diligent is nothing compared to genuinely working for the well-being of the world. Not to mention the gentle conduct of the five princes who were praised to the sky, in front of the eldest son of the emperor, they were lined with mediocrity and mediocrity.
The proposal of the crown prince was delivered to the emperor's desk, and there was no splash at all. The emperor didn't seem to know about it, and he didn't want to do it.
The courtiers didn't understand what the emperor was thinking again. Why did he obviously hand over the responsibility of supervising the country to the eldest son of the emperor, but he was unwilling to appoint him as the new prince. This makes people like cattle and horses and doesn't give benefits to them, does the emperor really hate them that much?
I think about it, but I can't figure it out.
Xiao Yanxing seemed to know this and was not impatient. There are other people who are impatient.
As the prestige of the eldest son of the emperor grows day by day, his ability to turn the tide is indeed outstanding. The support of the courtiers is getting deeper and deeper day by day, as if the position of the prince is in Xiao Yanxing's bag. If you change someone else, you can't do it. This kind of cognition is called how can Concubine De be willing? They waited patiently for twenty years, enduring the opportunity to be trampled under the feet of these unknown demon concubines, and finally got the opportunity!
The Gao family and the five princes were so anxious that they couldn't sleep at night. Concubine De was even more anxious, and her mouth was full of bubbles.
She couldn't think of any other way to suppress Xiao Yanxing, so she could only start from the back house.
The court can't move, and it's not impossible to find another way.
Although those who have become great things since ancient times are informal, the first emperor of the ages also has a flaw that is criticized. But Concubine De still wants to find flaws in her private morality. As long as the rumors spread widely enough and there are many people who believe them, it will always have an effect. Concubine De's hand reached into Xiao Yanxing's backyard and checked it for a few months. Except that he is inhumane, there are old rumors that Longyang is good, and there is no other stain at all.
can be born from the dragon and phoenix fetus, and the rumors that it cannot be humane and the goodness of Longyang are self-defeating.
However, Xiao Yanxing does not have any stains on women's private morality, and there is not much criticism of his conduct. But the line of Lu Guifei, which was reminded by the fifth prince, did find out something. This Lu Guifei is really a crazy person, and the stains on her body are like a sieve. is not thoughtful, if no one takes care of the aftermath for her, any one of them can be brought out, and she can die.
For example, in the first month, Lu Guifei tied a jinshi from the student alley behind her back to enter the palace. imprisoned people in the palace for more than ten days, and then was beaten unconscious and escaped. For example, Lu Guifei has been spending a lot of money to secretly transport a special spice from the Western Regions from Jiangnan, and she is very addicted to it.
Concubine De laughed sarcastically, no wonder Lu Li's little slut has been so peaceful recently. It turned out to be a thief!
Concubine De had already determined that Lu Li was Xiao Yanxing's hidden stake in the palace, and the reason why she turned over so quickly was because of Lu Li's slut's pillow style. Thinking about Ye Huiqiong, she was planted in Lu Li's hands at the beginning, although this crazy woman has a lot of dirty things, she can be regarded as capable. But people can't always rely on blowing the pillow wind, and men's favor becomes faster than the June day. Xiao Yanxing thought that relying on one Lu Li could change the emperor's dislike for many years. Stop dreaming! If Lu Li can be uprooted and Xiao Yanxing can be implicated, it will be just right for him to go back where he came from!
However, before Lu Li can be exposed, there must be conclusive evidence. Concubine De was confident and spent a lot of money to check.
When the news reached Xiao Yanxing, he was discussing with his ministers about reforming the official evaluation system. At the beginning, a whipping method advocated by Mr. Qi Jilan could not be implemented and died on the street. After this period of precipitation, Xiao Yanxing also saw that the policy promotion needs to be gradual and gradual. The reform of the whip law is too strong and violates the fundamental interests of many family bureaucrats, and it is bound to not go far.
He then chose a tactful and roundabout strategy, intending to temporarily infiltrate one by one.
Hearing that the informant came to report the private actions of the fifth prince, Xiao Yanxing just smiled coldly: "Let him check, just wait for him to check." ”
Xiao Yan forgot to sleep and eat in the court, and on the other side, Concubine Xian had nothing to do and remembered Wang Shu who met in the garden. For some reason, she always felt that this sister of Concubine Zhao looked very familiar. Concubine Xian thought about it, she must have seen it somewhere.
