Chapter 16: Back to the Girder 2

On the right, there was the sound of a five-year-old child's milky voice, and Xiyin looked at Concubine Jia's son in surprise, not only because he could not change his face, but also because she had figured out that the only people who could enter the palace where the emperor kept the gifts were the prince and the princess.

As soon as the transfer of flowers and the carpenter shouted to catch the thief, Xiyin sneered and withdrew her eyes, no wonder Aunt Qi said that everyone in the palace is two skins, one with a human face and the other with a drama face.

Now the situation, no matter how he explains it, is just a quibble, Xiyin did not say a word in the face of the questioning of the emperor and the concubine.

This is a punishment arranged by the Emperor of Heaven, since it can't be avoided, it is better to accept it happily, Xiyin didn't blink his eyes much when he listened to the punishment of the emperor's announcement of the 'Ten Rods'.

was driven to the courtyard, because it was a typical warning to the princess and princess, Concubine Shu specially summoned all the palaces to watch.

Almost until the moon was on the top of the moon, Xiyin's kneeling knee was numb, and then the punishment began.

When Shein stood up, she was a little unstable for a while, but she quickly settled her body and walked to the place that was specially fenced with white veil because of her status as a woman.

Lying flat on the narrow bench, Shein grabbed the corner of the stool, clenched her hands, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and waited for the wooden staff to fall.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from the crowd

"Wait!"

The wooden staff raised by the palace man stopped at the sight of the emperor's raised fingers.

Shein looked up and saw through the white veil a seven-year-old child dressed in yellow standing next to her through the crowd.

Slightly sideways to look at the child, Xiyin looked at the jade crown on his head and recognized that this was the current crown prince Li Shangxuan.

Although Li Shangxuan ranked ninth, he was canonized as a prince at birth because of his descendant.

Being able to stand up for her in this situation, Xiyin admires his ignorance of current affairs in his heart.

After Li Shangxuan looked at Xiyin through the white yarn for a few seconds, he looked away, only to see him salute the emperor and say, "I have seen this imperial sister before. ”

"Oh?" said the Emperor slowly, with no joy on his face. ”

On the morning of his father's birthday, the child passed by the Qingxin Hall and saw that the sister was coughing, so he immediately asked the imperial doctor to treat him, and explained to the queen mother that she was exempted from celebrating her birthday. ”

"If the father doesn't believe it, you can call the duty of the hospital to ask. ”

As soon as the prince said this, Xiyin remembered that he hated the cumbersome birthday worship etiquette at that time, and there were no good things to send, so he pretended to be sick at the gate of the cold palace that day and waited for Concubine Jia to send someone to make excuses, but for some reason he met the seven-year-old prince first that day.

It's just that she has never cared about mundane things in her life, and she forgot about it for a while.

Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Heaven, you have made this abacus, I am afraid that it will fail, Xiyin felt a little proud in his heart.

Just looking at the straight prince standing next to him, Xiyin put his head on the stool and sighed regretfully.

Now the saint is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, and he is quite afraid of Qingguo Gong, who has a heavy army, and the queen, as the concubine of Qing Guogong, only has one child under her knees, and even the age is almost twenty years younger than the emperor's eldest son.

Li Shangxuan's birth was originally to solve a siege of the city, hearing the cry of the children in the palace and the holy decree of being crowned the prince, Qingguo Gong took the military uniform and left the imperial city with the troops.

In this case, how much can the emperor like Li Shangxuan?

It would be good not to abhor the conditions that the situation forced them to make.

This time the crown prince is extremely unfavorable, Concubine Jia was born in the Hou Mansion, and she is more or less classified as the queen's faction, and the prince's words to defend Xiyin will only make the emperor more suspicious.

For a long time, the emperor did not speak.

At this moment, although there were many people standing in the courtyard, they could not hear a breath quietly.

Finally, Shein saw the emperor put down the teacup in his hand, and his tone seemed to be smiling

"Since the prince has said so, there is nothing I don't believe. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Concubine Shugui, "It seems that you made a mistake in checking it, so that everyone can see such a joke." ”

Concubine Shu knelt down slowly, a trace of annoyance flashed on her face, but she quickly hid it, and calmly said to the departing emperor

"The concubine knows her mistake. ”

Seeing that the people in the courtyard were almost gone, Shein patted her ass and prepared to return to the cold palace to sleep well.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he was stopped by an old woman who had never seen him before.

"Ninth princess, the queen mother is invited. ”
