The New Year's Zichen Palace is filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, and there are all kinds of lanterns and window grilles that symbolize the New Year.

Xiao Yuanjing in the Chengqian Palace is being served by a changing lady. She wears a red and scarlet round-neck gown, a jade belt tied around her waist, adorned with a beautiful waist pendant, long tassels with flowers, and a sash on her head. The ruby ​​hair crown with the hair tied up, the eyebrows dyed with ink, and the eyes are bright and energetic.

After tidying up, the dressing lady brought him a thick cloak to match him, and sent him a hand stove for him to hold, so that he wouldn't be frozen.

As soon as he left the gate of Chengqian Hall, he saw Xiao Yuanhe and Xiao Yuanchen coming together. When he saw Xiao Yuanjing, he was stunned for a moment, and then he saluted him: "Fourth brother."

Xiao Yuanjing was a little puzzled: "If you're not going to Zichen Palace, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yuanchen chuckled: "Aren't you here to wait for the fourth brother? I want to go there with the fourth brother."

Xiao Yuanjing nodded and smiled, quickly raised his hand and said: "Let's go, don't wait a while, Father and the others will be here first and wait for us."

The two brothers nodded and followed Xiao Yuanjing. Xiao Yuan said congratulatoryly: "Fourth brother, I heard people say that there will be lantern festivals in the capital from the first day to the fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Fourth brother is now a minister and can go out of the palace at any time, but My sixth brother and I have to wait a long time before we can leave the palace, fourth brother, can you tell your father to go out with you to see the Lantern Festival during the Chinese New Year."

Is there still a Lantern Festival in Beijing?It's quite romantic.

A certain string in Xiao Yuanjing's heart seemed to be plucked, and he thought about it for a while: "Lantern festival? Is it the kind of lantern festival where many people walk on a street and then put various lanterns? "

Xiao Yuanchen also nodded: "There are still more, I also heard that you can also put river lanterns. This gifted man and beautiful woman will use lanterns to send letters to confirm their love."

Xiao Yuanjing looked at Xiao Yuanchen beside him in surprise: "Who told you this, how old are you."

Xiao Yuanhe: "Fourth brother, I don't like to watch those gifted scholars and beautiful women pass letters to confirm their love. I remember that there are lantern riddles at the lantern festival, so I want to see it. Fourth brother, can you do it?"

Xiao Yuanjing thought about it carefully, and nodded in response: "Success, fourth brother, try to talk to father, if father agrees, I will take you out of the palace to play."

With Xiao Yuanjing's approval, the two younger brothers were like canaries whose cages had been removed. They were so happy that they almost flew up the palace road. Fortunately, there were quite a few attendants by their side, so that they would not be let free. soul.

But Xiao Yuanjing was thinking about how to use the Lantern Festival to ask Wei Changgong to meet.

Brother Wei, shall we watch a lantern festival?

Xiao Yuanjing pursed his lips and rejected such an opening statement, so he continued to think.

Brother Wei, I heard that the lantern show will be beautiful, how about we be a companion?

Xiao Yuanjing shook his head again and rejected this silly invitation, and gradually fell behind. Fortunately, Xiao Yuanhe and Xiao Yuanchen found out early, and they both passed a palace gate. Da Da ran back, and took Xiao Yuanjing to Zichen Hall together.

When Xiao Yuanjing and the others arrived at Zichen Palace, the other three sons of the emperor had already arrived, but to Xiao Yuanjing's surprise, there were Wei Changgong, Li Changting and Xie Liunian.

Later, I heard from Mingshu that the Prince of Zhenbei was alone in Beijing and was a relative, so he was summoned into the palace to celebrate the new year together.

After Xiao Yuanjing was seated, he happened to sit opposite Wei Changgong, Xiao Yuanchen sat next to Xiao Yuanjing, and Li Changting sat next to Wei Changgong. Occasionally, the two of them whispered a few words, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

Xiao Yuanchen also noticed something wrong between Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong, so he hurriedly leaned into Xiao Yuanjing's ear and said, "Fourth brother, why didn't the little prince say hello to you?"

Xiao Yuanjing was a little helpless: "There is a little misunderstanding between us, it's okay."

Only then did Xiao Yuanchen feel relieved, and cast his gaze towards Xiao Yuanchang and his concubine.

Among the several princes present here, there are only three people who can be crowned kings, but only Xiao Yuanchang married the concubine. The emperor personally bestowed the marriage. Well organized.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanheng and Xiao Yuanchang also sat on the side, occasionally saying a few words, but it was harmonious.

Only Xiao Yuanqi and Xiao Yuanhe had different expressions, one was lukewarm towards his elder brother, the other was full of doubts, no matter how much he asked, he couldn't get an answer.

Xiao Yuanheng cast his gaze towards Xiao Yuanjing, just met Xiao Yuanjing's gaze, and immediately staggered to meet him, feeling a little disgusted.

Xiao Yuanjing didn't take his actions to heart, but put all his heart and soul on Wei Changgong.

And Wei Changgong seemed to be wearing a nutrient solution protective cover, completely turning a deaf ear to Xiao Yuanjing, neither looking nor listening or asking, it seemed that Xiao Yuanjing was not in his eyes.

This made Xiao Yuanjing very frustrated, but what can he do, if he disagrees with the wife that the deer in his heart has chosen, he will goug out his heart with its antlers, it will be painful to death.

So what can Xiao Yuanjing do, his daughter-in-law pampers her, and one day she will grind him into a needle with an iron pestle!

No, one day, warm his heart!Let him accept himself.

The annual banquet in the Zichen Hall officially started after the emperor came, and it was officially opened after receiving the New Year's congratulations from all the children.

Although Xiao Yuanjing didn't get to see this year's Spring Festival Gala, it might be a kind of enjoyment to see those artisans in the palace performing music and dancers performing dances.

Even in order to make the New Year banquet lively, Xiao Yuanjing even warmed up the atmosphere in the Zichen Palace himself, interacted with many craftsmen and dancers, told jokes and jokes, and even coaxed the emperor to burst into laughter. , but in the end he still couldn't hold back, covered his lips and burst into tears.

Xiao Yuanjing stood in the hall with a chopstick in his hand, and his movements were casual and funny: "The weather is too hot this summer. When Xiao Jia went to school, he was afraid of the sun, so he walked very fast, and ended up accidentally falling into the well." I went, but I didn’t expect that when he arrived at school, his classmate Xiao B was laughing. Xiao A asked him why he was laughing, and Xiao B answered him that it was too hot today. There was a person walking on the street like ice cubes. You have to walk and it will melt..."

After Xiao Yuanjing finished speaking, the hall was silent for a while, and there was laughter in exchange for joy. The emperor raised his eyes and looked up at the sky with a smile, not letting the tears of joy flow down:

"Hahaha, Jing'er... Where did Jing'er hear it, why... why is it so funny."

Xiao Yuanchen couldn't get up from laughing at this moment, Xiao Yuanhe covered his face with his smiling hands, and didn't dare to laugh out loud at all, the others also smiled symbolically.

Xiao Yuanjing glanced at Wei Changgong furtively, seeing him tilt his head slightly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and the flickering tip of his tongue hooked Xiao Yuanjing's heart.

Xiao Yuanjing responded to the emperor's words with a smile: "It's as long as the father is happy, it doesn't matter what the son hears."

The emperor waved his hand, only threw out a reward, and then continued to smile.

By the time the New Year banquet was over, it was half past midnight. Although it was the beginning of spring, the temperature was still frighteningly low in the middle of the night. Everyone was tightly wrapped in cloaks to prevent any wind.

Xiao Yuanjing deliberately lagged behind, and followed Wei Changgong not too far away, because tomorrow he would pay New Year greetings to the emperor and empress dowager. In the palace, he lived in the Mingzheng Hall as before.

After the other princes had gone far away, Xiao Yuanjing followed Wei Changgong's pace, stood in front of him and blocked his way: "Why is Wei Shizi walking so fast, you don't want to see me so much?"

Wei Changgong looked around, Li Changting and Xie Liunian coughed knowingly, and walked straight forward, leaving only Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong standing in front of the palace gate leading to the harem.

Wei Changgong nodded and said, "I haven't."

Xiao Yuanjing, who made such a defense without confidence, laughed a little, and then put on a straight face: "You are still angry with me."

Wei Changgong: "I haven't."

Xiao Yuanjing took a deep breath, but then he calmed down again, and said directly: "Well, my father agreed with my two younger brothers to go out to the palace to watch the Lantern Festival in the second day of junior high school. ?”

Wei Changgong raised his eyes and looked directly at Xiao Yuanjing: "Second year of junior high school?"

Xiao Yuan nodded, with an extremely arrogant expression: "You have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree, otherwise I will go to your door early in the second day of junior high school to guard the door, and you will be the last to see me, and break in if you don't see me, anyway Those people at the gate of your house dare not stop me."

Wei Changgong looked at Xiao Yuanjing's imposing manner, and it was not easy to refuse, so he finally nodded: "It will be done."

As soon as Xiao Yuanjing heard these two words, the smile on his face was rippling, it was extraordinarily bright, he jumped over the threshold of the palace gate with a smile, and ran happily on the palace road.

The emperor and Cheng Youzhi, not far behind, looked at the two children in front of the palace gate with serious expressions. It wasn't until Xiao Yuanjing left happily that the emperor frowned.

Cheng Youzhi was a little puzzled: "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

The emperor stretched out his hand and patted his forehead: "Who do you think this scene looks like? Listen to what he said just now. It's insulting to gentlemen. Why don't you force Chang Gong to agree to go to the lantern festival with him?"

Cheng Youzhi nodded and smiled lightly: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, has opened up his mind and knows how to win over people."

The emperor looked at Cheng Youzhi in disbelief, and then pointed at Xiao Yuanjing who had disappeared: "That's it? Winning over people? Thanks to Chang Gong, who understands my intentions and asks him to help Jing'er more, otherwise just look at Jinger With that arrogant appearance, and even breaking into the Prince's Mansion in Zhenbei, I have to educate him in another day."

Cheng Youzhi said respectfully: "But Your Majesty, Fourth Highness doesn't understand your intentions, so we can only let Prince Wei take care of you."

The emperor sighed, thinking about it, he hadn't told Xiao Yuanjing to win over Wei Changgong yet, now that Xiao Yuanjing was able to attract Wei Changgong's attention by himself, it was still a good progress.

Although this attitude is a bit outrageous...

The emperor stroked his forehead sadly, and then he followed Cheng Youzhi back to Ganlu Hall.

Xiao Yuanjing went back to the palace road of Chengqian Palace. Although he had walked this road a thousand or eighty times, Xiao Yuanjing always felt a little different tonight. I don't know if it was because there was no one around him at the moment. .

Xiao Yuanjing had just passed by the Royal Garden and bumped into Xiao Yuanchang and the princess who had come back from the Longevity Palace. Xiao Yuanjing saluted them both symbolically, but was stopped by Xiao Yuanchang when he was about to leave.

After Xiao Yuanchang gestured towards the princess, the princess saluted and left first, leaving the two brothers to talk.

Xiao Yuanjing smiled and said, "Brother, Happy New Year, you left me alone because you want to give me a red envelope for the New Year."

Xiao Yuanchang was as gentle and courteous as usual, and said with a smile: "Brother hasn't sealed the red envelope yet, but it suddenly occurred to me that as soon as March this year is over, the fourth younger brother should be crowned king and leave the palace. Big brother congratulates in advance."

Xiao Yuanjing rolled his eyes mockingly: "Brother, congratulations are really cheap, congratulations are congratulated as soon as you touch your lips, and there are no congratulatory gifts."

Xiao Yuanchang was choked by him, and he smiled after a while: "Is fourth brother so snobbish? Or is it that Duke Qing's mansion is not as helpful to fourth brother as before, so he needed to find another helper, so he extended his hand to Zhenbei In the palace, the fourth younger brother would not think that if the emperor let you be the minister, the position of the prince will be yours in the future, right?"

Xiao Yuanjing rubbed his nose, with a little anger: "What's the matter, the elder brother also wants to fight for the crown prince? If I remember correctly, the elder brother and I are not the same mother, or is it that this As the crown prince, what the father says doesn't count, but the eldest brother has the final say?"

Xiao Yuanchang's face gradually became gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "The position of the crown prince is naturally not considered by the eldest brother, but if the eldest brother wants to fight for it? What are you fighting with me? Do you still have connections in the court?" Or do you think that you can rest easy when you find the helper of Zhenbei Wangfu who is far away in Yunzhong City? Fourth brother, the affairs of the court are not as simple as you think. It is better to know your own strength earlier. "

Xiao Yuanjing didn't care about Xiao Yuanchang's harsh words at all, but smiled very relaxedly: "Since the elder brother said that I can recognize my own strength, then as a brother, I would also advise the elder brother, don't look at some people It is helpful to you, but it is actually a knife, as for hurting others or hurting yourself, it depends on how big brother chooses, don't end up hurting both sides, and you don't even have the qualifications to fight with me."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuanjing stuck out his tongue at him, snorted triumphantly, turned and left the Imperial Garden and headed towards Chengqian Hall.

Even if Xiao Yuanjing doesn't become the crown prince, and his younger brother is still there, it's not the turn of these outsiders, just a little bit.

Xiao Yuanchang looked at Xiao Yuanjing's leaving back, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched his fists at some point, and the hatred in his eyes became more and more exposed:

"Xiao Yuanjing, one day I will avenge this new and old hatred!"

…………

In the Yilan Palace, the candlelight was flickering, Concubine Gao Shu looked at her son in disbelief: "Even you, do you want me to die? I thought I could still live when you come back."

Xiao Yuanchang responded coldly, and handed the pulled gauze curtain to Concubine Gao Shu's face, lightly exhaled the turbid air in his chest and said: "The mistakes made by the concubine mother are unforgivable, even if I beg for mercy, the emperor will not I will pardon the mother and concubine for murdering the prince and the queen mother, such crimes, my child can't afford this kind of love."

Concubine Gao Shu broke down and pushed Xiao Yuanchang away, her face full of tears: "I did it to Xiao Yuanjing because of you! But I didn't murder the Queen Mother! I didn't, someone killed me! Someone wanted to kill me!"

Xiao Yuanchang looked calm: "Who would harm the mother and concubine? Fourth brother? But he is also a victim, there is no need for him to set fire to the Temple of Ci'an to frame himself."

Concubine Gao Shu suddenly felt that this son in front of her was very strange, his calmness and alienation seemed like an outsider, especially the murderous intent in his eyes, Concubine Gao Shu felt a chill in her heart when she saw it, she suddenly felt fear, she turned around and ran outside Yilan Hall.

But Xiao Yuanchang would not allow her to run out of the Yilan Palace, but he stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Gao Shu's shoulder, and took advantage of the opportunity to wrap the gauze tent twisted in his hands around Concubine Gao Shu's neck, and pulled it out forcefully.

Concubine Gao Shu struggled, her eyes were full of fear and disbelief, she was strangled by the gauze curtain, she couldn't cry out, couldn't cry out, her eyes were staring until she died.

It wasn't until Concubine Gao Shu died that Xiao Yuanchang let go of her and let her fall into his arms.

Xiao Yuanchang looked stern and indifferent, calmly put his hand on Concubine Gao Shu's eyes, and said softly: "Mother Concubine, of course you have to die, only if you die, the ministers in the court will remember my loyalty, and the emperor will remember me." You will entrust me with important tasks and trust me, because I am a person who can distinguish between grievances and grievances, who can distinguish right from wrong, and will not mess with the law because of personal relationships. I can't plead for you, I can't let me work hard all these years Everything in the business is destroyed, mother and concubine, when the child sits on the position of the crown prince, sits on the position of the ninety-five lord, the child will definitely avenge your grievances and make you a queen, then I will be the son, the son!"
