Those years when I was Princess Yan

It was almost dusk, and the golden glow of the setting sun reflected the pale begonia red in the western sky, and the night gradually surrounded us from all directions.

It's very cold in the depths of winter, and now no matter what living things are outside, they all cower and don't like to move, and there is no sound.

The bleak north wind stopped, and there was silence in the imperial garden.

Xu Qingqing accompanied Empress Ma for a walk after dinner, and both of them held the stove in their hands.

"Only this midwinter night is the quietest." Empress Ma stood in the pavilion, looking at the bamboo forest under the twilight, and sighed leisurely.

Xu Qingqing nodded silently, she knew that Empress Ma was enjoying this moment of silence.Since this spring, things in the palace have happened one after another. A concubine was just dealt with a few days ago.Concubine Jin cried and fussed in front of her for a while again today, the queen must be very upset and very tired during this time.

Empress Ma took Xu Qingqing's hand, "It would be great if everyone was like you so that I can save my worry."

"My mother has been working so hard these days! Why don't I press the acupuncture points for my mother when I go back to ensure that I can relieve fatigue." Xu Qingqing's clear eyes are shining brightly, and she smiles when talking to people, which makes people uncomfortable Consciously infected by her joyful mood, I relaxed a little.

Empress Ma was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded in response.If it were someone else, they would probably say a lot of clever words to comfort her, but in the end it was just some clever words, nothing real.The fourth daughter-in-law is different, she doesn't say much, and directly finds a way to relieve your fatigue.

Empress Ma therefore thought of the sleep aid pillow that Xu Qingqing gave her earlier, this year, it really made it easier for her to fall asleep and sleep longer.After sleeping well, he will naturally have the energy to deal with things during the day, and it is not easy to make mistakes.In the past six months, the harem has been in constant trouble. If it weren't for this pillow, Empress Ma really suspected that she might have spent too much and fell ill.

"Good boy, it's hard for you to put so much effort into it." After Empress Ma said, she took off the blood jade bracelet and put it on Xu Qingqing's wrist.

The fiery red bracelet hung on Xu Qingqing's white and slender wrist, especially delicate and beautiful.

Just looking at the fineness of this jade bracelet, Xu Qingqing knows that this jade is amazing.She will always be happy when she gets a baby, so she hastened to thank Queen Ma for her kindness.

Empress Ma liked the boy's straightforward and down-to-earth temperament.The emperor always said that the fourth daughter-in-law was clever, playful and lovable.But she felt that the fourth daughter-in-law was naive, lively on the outside, but simple and innocent in her bones. Among the daughters of many official families, she was rarely seen with her quality.In the end, it was the fourth child who was lucky to have met such a good sex.

When Xu Qingqing pressed the acupoints for Empress Ma, seeing Empress Ma's expression of comfort, she tentatively chatted with her: "How about empress mother and daughter-in-law talking about Prince Yan's childhood? A face, my daughter-in-law really can't imagine what the prince will look like when he was a child, and always thinks that he will be like this when he was a child?"

"That's not the case! When he was a child, he would laugh at everyone. He was the most gentle and well-behaved. He would even trample an ant to death. At that time, the palace servants around him bullied him for being kind and neglected him. He fell down and broke his leg, so he endured the palace man again and again and let him go. Later, when the incident happened, His Majesty was annoyed at the benevolence of his wife, so he wanted to temper his temperament. In those two years, which minister ransacked his house in Fanjing? Ask him to beheaded, His Majesty will send him to watch the execution."

Xu Qingqing's shoulder pressure was just right, and Empress Ma felt comfortable immediately.

He closed his eyes and sighed at Xu Qingqing's skill.

"Lao Wu also studies medicine like you, but I haven't seen him as capable as you." The daughter-in-law was so satisfying that Empress Ma began to dislike her son.

"The fifth younger brother loves to study medicine more, and his daughter-in-law is far inferior to him."

Xu Qingqing smiled modestly, and continued to work hard to understand Queen Ma's words.

"My lord was young at that time, would he be afraid after watching the beheading? When I was young, I followed my master down the mountain and happened to see an old farmer slaughtering chickens and bleeding at the door. Since then, I have had nightmares for several days in succession. I dare not Sleeping alone. After two or three months, this matter will be completely over."

"I'm afraid, I had the same nightmare as you at first, but I still want to see it as usual. But he is a man, he is the prince of Ming Dynasty, and he may have to fight on the battlefield for his father in the future. ?”

Empress Ma agreed with the emperor's tempering of Zhu Di's temperament, but at that time the emperor's method of enlightening him, Empress Ma did not agree too much, it was a bit too intense.The fourth child later changed his sex and was indifferent to everything, which is the reason.Later, when that incident became more exciting, the temper of the fourth child became even colder.

"Then the prince and the third brother couldn't play together before? I think they are always bickering now." Xu Qingqing said half-jokingly.

"On the contrary, the relationship between the two of them is the best. The third child always bullies the fourth child because of his fun, but the fourth child never complains, and kindly lets him go."

"Then later—" Xu Qingqing couldn't wait to hear the story behind it.

"Later, because of one incident, the brothers had a disagreement. The fourth brother refused to forgive him, and the third child had a soft-tempered temperament. The two brothers have been at odds for so many years. Don't look at their brothers now, in front of big right and wrong But we can share the same hatred.”

Empress Ma understood the nature of the two children.

Because of one thing?What's the matter?Xu Qingqing wanted to hear this part, but Empress Ma skipped it again.

But the more someone deliberately hides this matter, the more it means that it is a big secret and important enough.

Since the Empress refused to speak, Xu Qingqing could only find another way.While living in the palace, first lock the old palace people in the palace, and send Biluo and Bixi to infiltrate the crowd to find out the news.

This Ziying girl has loved knives and guns since she was a child. Because she is the younger sister of a heroic general who died for the country, Empress Ma and the emperor felt sorry for her when she lost her brother when she was young. upbringing.When the princes were young, Ziying played with them and they had a very good relationship.

"The people who served Miss Ziying in the past are no longer in the palace. It is not easy for the servant girl Hongan to find the little maid who is in charge of sweeping the yard. She told the servant girl that Miss Ziying was once in the palace before she was given the marriage. There was a big quarrel with King Jin and King Yan in the house, but they didn't know what the content of the quarrel was. In short, they seemed to be very angry when they dropped something.

At that time, there were many people guarding outside, and no one else was allowed to approach. No one except the person involved knew the specific situation.After the quarrel, Prince Yan ran out first and hurried away, and then King Jin also left angrily.Miss Ziying cried alone in the room for a long time before she calmed down. After that, the three who were originally very good friends stopped seeing each other. ?”

Xu Qingqing pondered the situation Biluo had inquired about twice, and then calculated the ages of the three people at that time.Could it be that the three of them were in love at the time, and there was a polyamorous story of 'I love him, but he loves others'?

Xu Qingqing remembers that when she

When I first asked Zhu Di about the past of his transformation, Zhu Di once said with emotion: The princes and grandchildren have never been sent to serve, the difference is that they are insincere, involuntary, and not worthy of sincere betrayal.

Insincere words: Love is hard to express?

Involuntary: You are a beautiful woman, but why is there not enough background, so this king can't marry you?

I don't deserve a sincere betrayal: I'm so sincere to you, but I didn't expect you to only like the good-looking King Jin?

Xu Qingqing couldn't help imagining an abusive and affectionate polyamorous drama, which was even more exciting than the script.

However, the real truth of the matter still needs to be verified by Zhu Di, and there may be other inside stories.

After noon the next day, Zhu Dite came to Kunning Palace to pick up Xu Qingqing and leave.

When the two were walking back, they happened to meet the pregnant concubine Zhou who had a sudden abdominal pain on the way, showing signs of miscarriage.Xu Qingqing hurriedly called for help, helped Concubine Zhou back to her room, and diagnosed her fetus.

Then Doctor Liu came, with the same diagnosis as Xu Qingqing.Concubine Zhou's fetus is a little unstable, and now it is red, if it is difficult to give birth, it may be difficult to keep it.

"Last month, the veteran took the pulse of Concubine Zhou, and the fetal image is still not like this." Imperial physician Liu summoned the maid who was next to Concubine Zhou, and asked Concubine Zhou about her living conditions in the past month, wanting to know where the problem lies.

Because Zhu Di wanted to avoid the emperor's concubine, he was still waiting in the side hall.Xu Qingqing didn't stay any longer, and after meeting Zhu Di, she wanted to leave.

At this time, Imperial Physician Liu came out and hurried over to see the two of you.Liu Yuyi originally thought that the two of them would be asked symbolically how Concubine Zhou was doing.Unexpectedly, the couple didn't say a word of greeting, after dismissing him, they wanted to continue to leave.

Doctor Liu is one head and two older. Concubine Zhou is being favored recently. He really doesn't want to be the one who reported the truth, or be angered by His Majesty, or offend Concubine Zhou.

"Why didn't the prince greet you just now?" Xu Qingqing asked him curiously after the two came out.

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Qingqing, "Why did the princess slip out like a rabbit just now?"

It turned out that the dog man responded according to her reaction, so he was smart.

"I don't want to cause trouble. If you know too many secrets, it's easy to be clicked." Xu Qingqing wiped her neck and told Zhu Di what she knew, "Concubine Zhou doesn't want a child in her belly."

“How come you see?”

"Her pregnancy has been unstable for some time, and she must have been abnormal for a long time. Anyone who is nervous about the child will definitely notice it, but she has never called for an imperial doctor. She must stay in bed to protect the pregnancy and cannot move around, but Concubine Zhou still has to go out Walking around. If it wasn't that you don't want this child, what would it be?" Xu Qingqing explained.

Zhu Di frowned and remained silent for now.

Xu Qingqing led the way, wondering how the emperor and empress would react if they found out about this matter.As a result, after walking for a while, he raised his head and looked around the surrounding environment, and realized that he seemed to have taken the wrong path, so he turned around and asked Zhu Di where they were now.

Zhu Di raised his eyes and saw a sycamore branch protruding from the palace wall, his eyes froze.

"This seems to be the back wall of Rouyi Hall." Bixi recognized it.

Rouyi Hall, the place where Concubine Yu once lived.

Xu Qingqing immediately looked at Zhu Di, but saw that he was frowning fiercely, holding back something.

Xu Qingqing had a bad feeling...

The next moment, the man in front of her hugged her unexpectedly, and whispered into her left ear: "The scholar may be coming."

Xu Qingqing was startled, but it was too sudden!After a while, the scholar woke up and found that he was in the palace. How should she explain it?We lost our way because we eloped, so we accidentally ran into the palace?

Walking in the palace, it is inevitable that you will meet palace people who pay homage and call you prince and concubine.When the scholar hears this and collapses, what should she do?
