I am a cat in the palace

Wei Guogong's mansion is very lively today, but anyone who can gain some kinship relationship has prepared generous gifts and wants to squeeze in the gate, and the queen Guining is accompanied by the second prince. This has not happened for many years.

Seeing that the old emperor's health is getting worse day by day, the second prince, who is the eldest son, is likely to be the future emperor, usually separated by palace walls, it is impossible for their relatives without rank to get together with the queen Go in front of the second prince, but if you take the opportunity of Queen Guining today to make a good impression in front of the queen or the second prince, not to mention the promotion of officials in the future, at least you won't be easily bullied.

The second prince took his concubine, Princess Liang, to Duke Wei's mansion after lunch, but obviously Princess Liang was not very popular, so after sitting for a while, the second prince took Princess Liang away, saying that he wanted to Go to the inner city street to watch the Lantern Festival.

There were cars and horses weaving in front of Duke Wei's mansion, but the atmosphere in the back house was not harmonious.

The second prince came and went in such a hurry that the Duke Wei's mansion, which was originally full of joy, seemed to be drenched in freezing rain in an instant.

Although the queen sat at the top according to the rules, she lowered her head. The old Wei Guogong sat on the bottom left of the queen with a face as heavy as water, but stared at the queen fiercely with angry eyes: "How do you raise your children? You Look, what is Shang Hui's attitude towards me and his uncle now? Lukewarm, does he think that Duke Wei's mansion is useless without military power?"

"He hasn't ascended to the throne yet, just like this, if he really sits in that position, he's afraid that he will be like his father. I'm afraid that our foreign relatives will hold his elbows, and it's more than just overhead military power." , but also to kill us directly."

The one who opened his mouth to answer the words of Duke Guo was Wei Guogong's youngest son. He is nearly ten years younger than the queen. He is the old man of Mrs. Wei Guogong. He is only in his early thirties this year. , who idles around all day and fights cocks and horses, he can be regarded as a small leader among the dudes in Beijing.

Relying on his father who is a prince of the country, a sister who is a queen, and a nephew who may become an emperor in the future, he has always been domineering in the capital, and the children of ordinary officials and eunuchs dare not provoke him easily.

"Jiaping! Shut up!" Wei Guogong gave his youngest son a sharp look.

Jiang Jiaping was used to being pampered, unlike his elder brothers and sisters who were so afraid of his father. Even though Wei Guogong scolded him angrily, he still argued with his neck: "Father, am I wrong? Look, we know that Wei Guogong's mansion fought Daliang." For so many years, his second uncle died in battle at Nanyun Pass, and our Jiang family had a blood feud with the Liang State. This time, it was because the emperor married him to the Princess Liang, which made our Duke Wei's military power lose. But today, my sister Gui Ning, he brought that princess of Liang Kingdom to the door, what does he mean? Did he come here specially to slap our Duke Wei in the face? Does he still remember that he crawled out of his sister's stomach? yes?"

"Enough!" This time it was the queen who had been sitting quietly at the head with her head bowed all the time. Jiang Jiaping's words pierced her heart deeply. You may remember that he is just a monster whose body was taken by a ghost, he is no longer my son!

But when the words came to her lips, they rolled and rolled on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say anything with her lips trembling.

Jiang Jiaping was taken aback. After all, he was still a little afraid of this queen sister who had an unusual status, so he could only stop talking resentfully.

"Your Majesty's time is running out. A few days ago, I finally figured out a way to get Shen Rentang's prescription for the emperor's medicine. After reading it, Lao Du said that the medicine used in it is already a life extension that does everything possible. And looking at the dosage of the prescription, it is fully calculated, the emperor will not live for a year, and I am afraid that he will not be able to survive the next winter." Seeing his daughter's temper, Wei Guogong softened his tone slightly down.

The queen felt a chill when she heard this—has it been less than a year?

It wasn't until this time that she vaguely remembered that the "emperor" whom her father spoke of was still her husband.It seems that she has not linked the word "emperor" with "husband" for a long time, probably since she was confused for a moment, and she covered the panic-stricken court lady and winked at the inspecting woman let's start?Her husband left her far away.

She suddenly remembered the scene when she was just married. When she married him, she was only 14 years old, not as high as his chest, and he always treated her with care.Even when they were in the same room, as long as she complained of pain, he would force himself not to move, he would rather feel uncomfortable than hurt her.Occasionally, when I had free time during the day, I would sit in the garden and watch her flutter the butterflies and kick the keys, and when I saw her forehead sweating, I would call her over and wipe her sweat with a sweat towel.

How happy was she then?

But how happy it was at that time, how painful it was to see another woman by his side.

She married him for ten years without having children, and could only watch helplessly as the lowly court lady climbed into his bed and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor for him. Although she didn't do it herself, that child was really a thorn in her heart. She doesn't like him, doesn't like that he has his eyebrows and eyes, has the name he gave himself, is not a child born by her, but has his blood, as long as she thinks of this, she feels as if she is choked in her throat and can't eat pharynx.

So, when she found out that someone was also interested in that child, she gave it a push, and then the child died, and the thorn in her heart was finally pulled out.It's just that the man who made her happy or painful was far away from her.

From then on, the only belief in her life was the common blood between him and her. She guarded it day and night without rest, and during the long night, she didn't even know that she was really guarding the dying child. , Still guarding the last relationship between him and her.

only--

Until now—

nothing at all.

It turned out that not only the love between them had already dissipated, but even the blood had already been cut off.

Princess Jingguo sat shyly in the carriage, and occasionally secretly lifted the curtain to look at Mr. Pianpian riding on the tall and handsome horse. It seemed that the uneasy heart from Liang Guo to Daxia was slowly being comforted and stabilized.

Although there is still some estrangement between the two, the second prince of Daxia seems to be a very gentle person.

"Prince Qi, the Changyang Restaurant has arrived, please get out of the car." A little eunuch next to the second prince ran over and bowed beside Princess Jingguo's carriage to announce.

"Okay." Princess Jingguo responded softly, and a maid beside her immediately adjusted her dress, and then took out a knee-length plain gauze veil and put it on her head.Women in Liang State had to wear a veiled hat to cover their faces when they went out. Although the folk customs in Daxia were more open, some aristocratic women who were more particular would also wear a veiled hat or a face scarf when they went out to block those impolite and coveting eyes.

She had just got off the car, and before she could reach her husband, she saw the second prince suddenly stop and look towards the east side of the restaurant.

She couldn't help but looked over there curiously, and immediately saw two teenagers in a messy crowd.

One is a cold-faced young man with a golden crown and a jade belt, wearing a prince's uniform with a golden dragon pattern on a white background; the other is a stunning young man with a black gauze hat and a blue water-colored gauze uniform.

The two came almost side by side, even though the crowd was chaotic, there seemed to be light emitting from the two of them, allowing people to see them clearly in the crowd with just one glance.

"His Royal Highness King Zhen is here too?" Princess Jingguo still remembered King Zhen who represented Emperor Daxia and came to the Sifang Pavilion to welcome them.

Although he is young, he has a graceful bearing, considerate and polite demeanor and impeccable manner.

The elder brother of the prince attaches great importance to this young man who is still a little under 12 years old, and bluntly said that if he can grow up safely, he will definitely not be a thing in the pool, and he will definitely be a powerful character who can stir up troubles in all directions.

It's a pity that, in terms of birth, this King Zhen is still inferior to the second prince. In the battle for the throne, he is naturally at a disadvantage.

Presumably the emperor of Xia Kingdom had realized this a long time ago, so he would have made him king early, so as to stop his coveting of the throne.

It's just that compared to King Zhen, who was born in the royal family and was born with extraordinary momentum, she was more curious about the little eunuch standing next to King Zhen.

Looking at his clothes, he seems to be a little eunuch without even a rank, but just because he walks almost side by side with King Zhen when he walks over, and looks calm and composed when standing beside King Zhen, she feels that he is definitely not an eunuch. It's as simple as an ordinary little eunuch.What's more, even though the young man was dressed in eunuch uniform, he didn't have the humbleness of ordinary eunuchs, and his behavior was somewhat free and easy.

"Who is that person?" Princess Jingguo turned her head and asked softly the little eunuch who picked her up from the carriage.

"That's His Royal Highness Prince Zhen." The little eunuch only thought that Princess Jingguo was asking Shang Xin.

"No, I'm asking about the little father-in-law on the right side of His Highness King Zhen, who is he?"

The little eunuch was taken aback by Princess Jingguo's question. He was just a low-level eunuch in the second prince's mansion. He hadn't even met his master a few times, let alone the people who followed King Zhen. To be honest, he could I knew King Zhen because he was the boss at the banquet on the day of the second prince's wedding.

"This... I don't know, I don't know. His clothes should be full-time servants of His Highness King Zhen." The little eunuch was a little puzzled, how could his princess ask a little eunuch all of a sudden, but...he Then she quietly turned her head and took a look at the little eunuch standing next to King Zhen, seeing her smiling face, she was indeed very conspicuous in the crowd.

"Third brother." With a false smile on his face, the second prince stood in front of Changyang Restaurant and waited for Shangxin.

The waiter at Changyang Restaurant wanted to persuade him to stand on the side, but he didn't dare, so he could only look at the second prince and the people he brought with him with a smirk, blocking the door of the restaurant tightly, making the already crowded The unbearable doorway became more congested.

Shang Xin raised his eyes and saw the second prince, and couldn't help slandering that he was really haunted, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold Daxian's hand.

"I've seen the Second Prince and the Second Prince's Sister-in-law." Shang Xin walked up to the Second Prince unhurriedly, glanced at Princess Liang, and gave a slight salute.

The second prince couldn't see anything else in his eyes, he only had one feeling when he saw Shang Xin, and that was to salivate.

Princess Liang Guo noticed that Shang Xinwei's hand behind her back was tightly holding that stunning young man. Under the veil, her brows twitched. They...

Prince Mingrui's entourage had already been waiting at the door, and when he saw the second prince and Shang Xin arriving together, he hurried up to urge him, but at the moment of harmony and excitement, Daxian shook his ears violently, and suddenly grabbed Shang Xin tightly. Xin's hand.
