The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

On April 26, the empress and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowagers went to Tongshan.

This was also the first time that Shang Chanchan saw the emperor Yizhu with her own eyes.

The two emperors, the upper and lower emperors, were naturally very powerful, such as the Qingyou team, the Jinwu Guard, and the halberd front team, etc. twelve guard teams will not repeat them here.

From the imperial palace to Tongshan, the route he traveled was even cleared by the Six Armies.In short, not to mention idle people, even idle animals are impossible to appear.

There is also the Jingying as the emperor's guards. At this time, General Xie Yucei led 5000 of them to escort the emperor.

Shang Chanchan couldn't help but think of Shang Chi's words: "If there is an accident in the imperial city, the capital camp can come all day long, and the king will be diligent to escort him. Therefore, the military governors of the capital camp must be the confidantes of the emperors of all ages."

Although Wang Ziteng was promoted and left Beijing that day, under the escort of the Supreme Emperor, this official position never resigned.

The emperor couldn't help it either, so he had to ask Xie Yuce to go in and take a deputy position, and slowly gather the military power.

However, the emperor's reuse of the Xie family is like a double-edged sword to the eldest prince.After all, Xie's family is his mother's family, and they are in-laws connected by blood.

Of course, the emperor can't allow this diligent king's teacher to sway left and right.

So Shang Duo speculated that the emperor should not be planning to establish a crown prince when he became king this time.It's not that he is dissatisfied with the eldest prince, it's just the emperor's mind of balance.

It is estimated that when Xie Yuchu takes all the military power of the Beijing camp and returns it to the emperor, the eldest prince will have the crown prince position.

Just like what the Baoninghou Mansion did back then: Shang Duo was voluntarily released to the south of the Yangtze River and stayed away from the center of power in central Beijing for six years.

The Supreme Emperor watched coldly, seeing that the Emperor and his mother's family were keeping themselves safe, and there was no other son to choose from under their knees, so he abdicated and chose the current enthronement.

You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it's useless to be in a hurry.

Besides, according to Baoninghoufu, the eldest prince doesn't have to worry about being a prince: let alone a prince, so what about the emperor, he has to pretend to be a grandson in front of the emperor.

Second in command is hard enough, let alone third in command.

A prince is like a grandson's daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law in the upper two floors has to serve, which is simply not a human job.

Of course, the downside of not establishing a crown prince is that the emperor's unresolved attitude will give other princes the illusion that they also have hope, and then resort to various means to compete for the position of crown prince.

For example, the second prince, now finds a different way, squatting in the Supreme Palace every day to fulfill his filial piety, and put his own father in the second place.

With the emperor's petty mind, how could he bear it? He deeply felt that his fate was destined to be short-lived, so he raised a white-eyed wolf.

But since the Supreme Emperor accepted it with a smile, the Emperor really couldn't do anything about the second prince for a while.

Shang Chanchan couldn't help but get a headache: the water in the capital is too muddy now, everyone has constraints, and if one move affects the whole body, it is very likely that one mistake will lose everything.

Even if you are the emperor, you dare not act rashly. After all, the power of the emperor and the emperor is still divided between four and six.

The sad thing is that the emperor is the four.

If you really annoy the Supreme Emperor, he will become the first abolished emperor in this dynasty, and his life will definitely not be as good as the abolished prince.

So the emperor is also gritted his teeth and endured it. To put it bluntly, he must have hoped that his father would drive west as soon as possible in private.

Shang Chanchan couldn't help feeling: Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is the most comfortable when he got away.

She no longer thought about this messy court situation, but opened the curtain a little, ready to look at the western scene again.

As the emperor's guard of honor stretched for hundreds of meters, Shang Chanchan, as the accompanying courtiers and family members, naturally fell behind.

At this time, she lifted the curtain slightly, and she could see the emperor's sedan chair that had begun to turn. She saw flags, flags, banners, buildings, umbrellas, and fans all around, and there was even a drum band sent by Taichang Temple accompanying her. Playing music all the way, solemn and majestic.

"Huh, there is actually an elephant in front of us as a guide." The emperor is really a showman, but he is going to the other garden, but he put on a full set of postures.

Jiang Shi stopped her and said: "Just take a look, why don't you put down the curtain and let people watch you."

Shang Chanchan had no choice but to listen to her mother and sit upright.

Jiang continued to instruct: "I called you this time because the old sage had said this long ago, but it's not that we rest assured that you will run around."

"You don't want to be peaceful in the palace, let alone outside. If I don't care about you, I'm afraid you will be turned upside down—and you are not allowed to play around with that kid from the Xie family."

Shang Chanchan said helplessly: "Mother, I've told you many times. Roasting venison was the fifth prince's idea. Brother Xie tried to persuade me to go back, but I insisted on refusing. And if he didn't stop me, That day, the fifth prince will order wine."

Jiang turned a deaf ear: "You don't have to speak nice words for him."

Shang Chanchan could only keep silent.

Fortunately, after arriving in Tongshan, the Empress Dowager Shang sent someone to pick up Shang Chanchan to live in another garden.Jiang had no choice but to give her a few more stern orders before letting her go.

Zhongnan Xianguan, where the Empress Dowager Shang lives, is lush with flowers and trees, and there is a Wangyun Tower on the east side, and you can look at Nanshan leisurely when you climb the tower.

Of course, only the empress dowager or the empress dowager dared to build tall buildings.

Changing the palace next to it is like spying on the emperor's traces - standing so high, the emperor's ceremonial car can be seen clearly wherever he goes.

When Princess Lirong came, the Empress Dowager Shang was summoning the imperial physician to feel Shang Chanchan's pulse.

Shang Chanchan looked at the old doctor suspiciously: this old man seems to have reached the age of cataracts, and his eyes are always squinting.Among other things, can he be sure of the word "Wangwen Wenqie"?

The old imperial physician has far-reaching qualifications, has served the emperors of three dynasties, and his speech is no better than that of other imperial physicians, who can only be cautious and talk over and over again.

At this time, he spoke briefly and said: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, Miss Shang is already well, so you don't need to be restrained anymore, it's also good for your health to go out and walk more."

Shang Chanchan immediately put away her expression of distrust: she really is a miracle doctor!

Princess Lirong was listening in: "Since that's the case, my lady will ask Chanchan to go out with me to have fun. I promise, we won't mess around again this time."

Empress Dowager Shang was relieved when she heard that the imperial doctor dared to say the word "good", and allowed them to go out.

After returning to the Empress Dowager Shang, Princess Lirong took Shang Chanchan to the tower to look far away.

Shu Er pointed to the southwest corner and said, "Did you see that enclosed building? There is a stable at the back, and a white flag is planted in front. Once it is replaced with a red one, it means that Xiao asked them to be free today and wait for us there." .”

Then he turned around and said to the following maid: "You are in charge of sitting here and looking at the flag these few days, and you should not be used for other tasks."

Shang Chanchan was startled at the time, and was very speechless: "We are not thieves, why are we still playing semaphore now? And it's fine if there isn't an elegant place like Qianqiu Pavilion, why did we go to the stables to meet?"

Princess Lirong put her hand on her forehead to block the sun, and said with a smile: "First of all, it's close to Zhongnan Immortal Hall, and few people go there, and it's also under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Guards, that is, Xie Ling himself."

"Secondly, you thought it was in the palace. We usually rely on the little eunuchs to deliver messages to them, but do you know how many eunuchs there are in the other garden?"

"There are thousands of eunuchs in the East and West Palaces, each with their own ranks. However, there are less than a hundred followers this time, and there are only a dozen or so who serve in front of the imperial court and pass the decree, and there is no time to care about trivial matters like us."

From her words, Shang Chanchan heard the word freedom.

Sure enough, looking at Princess Lirong, she saw that her eyes were also shining brightly, like a bird out of the cage: "So, for these seven days, we can be at ease."

While the two were talking, they saw that the white flag waving in the wind was replaced by a red one.

Princess Lirong patted the railing: "I think it's almost time. I arrived in Bieyuan today, and the palaces only need to be settled, and the two of them have nothing to do. Sure enough, they will be free now."

Few people walk around the enclosure, and if the emperor or the princes want to ride a horse, they will order the people below to lead it.So it's also very quiet.

Xie Ling hadn't seen Shang Chanchan for a long time, and seeing that she was able to go out, she finally let go of her heart hanging for a long time: If it wasn't for her recovery, the Empress Dowager Shang would never let her out.

However, after seeing Shang Chanchan, she couldn't help but blurted out: "It won't be allowed in the future."

Shang Chanchan clasped her hands together and said, "I beg you, don't talk about me anymore. Do you know how many times I've heard the word 'no' these days? Whenever I move, someone will follow me and say no."

Princess Lirong nodded: "I will testify to this."

Xiao Rang was also a little embarrassed: "It was my idea, but I forgot that you are weak."

Seeing that the fifth prince felt guilty, Shang Chanchan turned away and said, "It's all over now, don't mention those words. I heard that there is a BMW that Yili paid tribute to. Is it the legendary BMW of sweat and blood?"

Xie Ling said, "I'll take you in to have a look."

The fifth prince smiled and said: "The sweaty horse you are talking about should be the Dawan horse. It started in the Han Dynasty and is gone now. Let alone this dynasty, I haven't seen it since the previous dynasty. It's only written in ancient books. I I don't really believe it. If a horse bleeds while running, it is really a thousand-mile horse-it bleeds to death after running 1000 meters."

Xie Ling said: "A horse that is good at walking may have small scabs on its front shoulders and ridges. If it breaks, it will bleed. Perhaps the ancients just called this sign of a good horse a sweaty horse."

While talking and leading them in, Shang Chanchan couldn't help sighing when she saw it: "It's even cleaner than where people live."

Princess Lirong shook his head: "Of course, these horses are more expensive than people. Under the harem master, I am afraid that there are not so many people to serve them."

Then he pressed Shang Chanchan's hand that was about to move: "Don't touch them randomly, these horses have a big temper."

Princess Lirong has a deep-seated heart. Back then, she was naughty and quietly followed behind her father, trying to touch his mount secretly, but was almost kicked. Fortunately, the guards around her were quick, otherwise it would have been dangerous.

Although these horses are all in the pen at this time, if they lose their temper, it will not be fun.

Xie Ling turned her head and said, "You can touch my horse."

The Fifth Prince and the Lirong County Master both had their own horses. Now that they had arrived at this time, they each took some fine fodder with their own hands to deepen the friendship between them and horses under the leadership of the servants.

Only Shang Chanchan followed Xie Ling to see his horse.

It was a black horse with a whole body, only its four hooves were as pure white as treading snow.Xie Ling touched the horse's mane first, and then motioned for Shang Chanchan to reach out.

Shang Chanchan didn't know how to distinguish a good horse from a bad one, so she could only compare the other mounts she had seen with her own eyes horizontally, and thought: This is indeed much better looking than the donkey that Lord Lirong Shangyuan Jie rode upside down.

Seeing her hand on the dark horse mane, Xie Ling was a little dazed, until the sapphire bracelet in Shang Chanchan's hand flickered slightly, he stopped breathing and turned his face away.

However, when Shang Chanchan said the next sentence, all his thoughts were dispelled immediately.

She only heard her clear and crisp voice, without distinguishing between emotions and anger: "I heard that your family does not agree with our family's rule of not taking concubines."
