Prince Heng [Qing wear]

On May Day, the second brother of the prince, who was studying in Changchun Garden, also returned to the Forbidden City to celebrate the festival with his family.

After the family banquet, Prince Yinreng followed Fifth Prince to the Palace of Mercy to meet the Empress Dowager.

In the fifth elder brother Yinqi's impression, the queen mother is just a middle-aged woman with a unique kindness and kindness.When she sat with Uku's mother, it was obvious that they were from two generations.But now, the empress dowager has grown old all of a sudden, with gray hair all over her head, and her energy seems to have been taken away with the passing of the empress dowager.

Fifth elder brother was very worried.He knew that Wuku's mother had a great influence on Emege Eji, but he didn't expect that the influence would be so great, Emege Eji seemed to lose his soul.

Fifth elder brother said worriedly: "Eh Ge Erji, you have to take good care of yourself."

The queen mother looked at the child in front of her. He had grown from a crying baby to a tall boy.Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in one fell swoop.She still remembers that it was her aunt who advised her to raise the fifth elder brother so that she could have someone to rely on in her later years.She also knew in her heart that raising the fifth elder brother was also to preserve a prince who was close to the grassland for the Horqin grassland.Although my aunt did intend to do so, she never asked herself and Xiao Wu to do anything for the Horqin Grassland.

She didn't know if her aunt had given up on this plan, or if her aunt thought it was enough to just raise the fifth elder brother.However, in the last period of time, my aunt still softened her heart.Like her, my aunt loves Xiao Wu and Jiu Gege from the bottom of her heart. How can she be willing to let these two children who grew up beside her participate in such a complicated government affairs?

The queen mother came back to her senses: "Emmage Geerji is fine, Xiao Wu, don't worry about it. If you can take good care of yourself, Erme Geerji will be very happy. Go and see Xiaojiu in the inner room, she is sick these days , it’s really boring. You go in and accompany her, and the prince can stay here and talk to me.”

"Yes, Grandmother, Yinfeng obeys."

"I see, ermegeerji. I'm in the house."

The prince and the fifth elder brother answered respectively.

Fifth elder brother entered the inner room and saw Jiugege lying sickly on the bed, flipping through a book boredly.

Fifth elder brother snatched the book from Jiugege's hand, wanted to tease her, and said with a smile: "Stop reading when you're sick, what's the difference in studying hard? Let me see what book you're reading—"

"Fifth brother, return it to me quickly!" Jiu Gege rushed to grab the book.

The fifth elder brother held the book high, the difference in height between the two was too big, Jiu Gege couldn't get it even if he jumped up.

"Let me take a look, "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". It's too early for you to read this book at this age, and there are many things in it that you can't understand. When you are older, read this book carefully." Five Elder Brother said to Jiu Gege seriously.

Looking into Fifth Brother's eyes, Jiu Gege felt a little guilty for no reason: "I see, Fifth Brother. Please return the book to me."

Brother Wu was about to hand the book back to Jiugege when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The thickness of this volume of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" was a bit wrong. He remembered that his set of books was not so thin.

The fifth elder brother took the book back abruptly, and opened the first page, only to see that it was imprinted: "Chen Shimei: I was in the Golden Temple just now, and Long Live came to say hello. I went to the back palace with the princess again, and the queen mother smiled when she saw it." .I was supposed to be the son-in-law of the dynasty, and no one would dare to join the civil and military officials. I walked to the palace gate and got off the chariot, swaggering back and returning..."

""The Case of Gui Mei"?" Fifth elder brother rolled the book into a ball and slapped the palm of his left hand, "Jiu girl, who found you the playbook? I remember—something like this—should not appear in your room." right."

"Fifth brother—good fifth brother—fifth brother, you are the best—" Jiu Gege acted like a baby, "Don't tell Ge Erji, okay?"

"Who found it for you! Answer me!" Fifth elder brother was a little angry.

Jiuyatou was doted on since she was born. Her mother-in-law was a concubine, and she was handed over to Emoge Eji by Khan Ama to raise her.In addition, Jiu Yatou is Princess, not an elder brother who attracts attention like him, even if Han Ama loves her more, nothing big will happen.There are three big backers behind this girl, and she has been walking sideways in the Forbidden City since she was a child.Fortunately, this girl is very innocent, and she won't do anything to bully others, but she is a little too lively.Now there is a playbook in Jiu Yatou's room that shouldn't appear, fifth elder brother is really worried that someone will teach this girl badly.

"Fifth brother——" Jiu Gege saw her good-tempered fifth brother losing his temper with her for the first time, and suddenly became a little scared, "Fifth brother, don't be angry. I'm just because I'm sick, so I'm bored to watch, you do not be angry."

"Go back to bed and lie down for me." The fifth elder brother was a little soft-hearted, but he was not Aixinjueluo Yinqi until this matter was clarified.He tried his best to appear stern, staring at Jiugege: "Who gave you this thing!"

Jiugege lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs: "If I tell you, Brother Wu, what will you do with her?"

The fifth elder brother sat by the bed and patted Jiu Gege's head: "Actually speaking, if you teach Gege not to learn well, this kind of girl should be dealt with according to the palace rules. But I don't know how to do it, I can only watch it." How did the imperial concubine judge?"

"Fifth Brother, can't I read this kind of book?" Jiu Gege felt aggrieved.As for the maid who helped her bring the book, Fifth Brother is so smart, he will definitely be able to find her.

The fifth elder brother sighed: "It's not that the fifth elder brother does not allow you to read this kind of playbook, but you are still young, and watching this kind of thing will inevitably change your temperament. When you grow up in the future, you will understand right from wrong , when you watch this kind of thing again, Fifth Brother will definitely not object."

"But I think I can understand it now!" Seeing that her dear fifth brother was no longer angry, Jiu Gege immediately lost her temper and forced an excuse.

The fifth elder brother laughed angrily: "Then tell me, what did you know from reading "The Case of Guillotine Beauty"?"

"Well—let me think about it." Jiu Gege broke his fingers, "First, Chen Shimei is not a good person. Second, Bao Zheng is a good official. Third, Qin Xianglian is very remarkable, but also very pitiful. , raising children. She searched thousands of miles for her husband, but was abandoned. Fourth—"

"What's the fourth point?" Seeing Jiu Gege's expression of wanting to say something but not daring to say it, Brother Wu smiled, "Let's talk."

Jiu Gege hesitated and said: "Fourth, I think the princess in it is very pitiful. Her father chose her marriage for her. I guess this princess must not be favored. Her father actually married her to A mere champion. There is one champion every four years. Oh, no, if counting civil and military champions, there are two. If Enke is added, there will be even more champions. This emperor married his daughter to a young No matter how you look at it, the little ninth-rank official is unreasonable, it must be because the emperor doesn't like his daughter at all."

The fifth prince poured Jiu Gege a glass of water and asked her to continue talking after drinking it.

Jiugege returned the teacup to the fifth elder brother: "But what did this princess do wrong? Her father married her to such a small official, and she was extremely wronged. Later, someone came to tell her that her The husband is a married man. Her dignity has been violated. She is the king. That's why she invited her queen mother to maintain her dignity as a royal family. Unfortunately, Bao Zheng didn't listen to her at all. Chen Shimei was beheaded."

Jiugege looked at Fifth Brother: "Fifth Brother, am I right?"

"It makes sense. But when I read this book, what I thought was why Wang Yanling, the prime minister of the three dynasties, wanted to help Qin Xianglian? Is it because he is a good official? It must not be the case. If I read the book carefully, Qin Xianglian On the first day in the capital, I found out about Chen Shimei’s situation from Zhang Yuanlong, an innkeeper. On the second day, Qin Xianglian looked for Chen Shimei and was kicked out of the palace. She met Wang Yanling on the street, and Wang Yanling also gave Qin Xianglian advice. , don’t you think all this is too coincidental? Therefore, I think Wang Yanling must have planned to destroy Chen Shimei. But Chen Shimei is only a champion and is of no use. Wang Yanling’s real purpose should be to attack the princess’s mother clan, and All of this corresponds to the fact that your princess was not favored just now." Fifth elder brother replied.

Jiu Gege was a little dizzy by the fifth elder brother, this should be the difference between elder brother and Gege.She didn't care about it, she only cared about her book.

"Fifth brother, return the book to me."

"Okay, Nong, here you are. Don't do this again, you know?" Fifth elder brother persuaded, "You are young now, you should watch something right. Wait until you grow up to be able to distinguish right from wrong, and then watch these things Not too late."

"Thank you Fifth Brother, Xiao Jiu knows." Jiuge Nuonuo nodded, and she looked at Fifth Brother sincerely, "Fifth Brother, will Khan Ama marry me to someone I don't like in the future?"

Fifth elder brother didn't know how to answer.The fate of most of the little princesses in this palace is to marry into Mongolia, marry with Mongolia, and maintain the friendly relationship between the two races.But he knew that the little girl in front of him was different. She stayed in Beijing because of the love of her grandmother and father, but unfortunately she died soon after.I don't know if the little girl's fate track will turn around in this life.

"I don't know. These things are decided by Han Ama, and I don't know what will happen in the future." He can't even decide the fate of himself and Xiaoru now.

Jiugege was a little disappointed, but soon became cheerful again, no matter, she is still young anyway, so let's talk about such a complicated matter when she grows up.

"Jiu girl, here you are." Fifth elder brother handed two strings of multicolored rice dumplings to Jiu Gege, "One is from you, and the other is from your fourth brother. My fifth brother and I gave you a May Day gift." , I wish you happiness and health in this year, free from disasters and diseases."

"Thank you, fifth brother, and thank you for me, fourth brother." Jiugege smiled sweetly at fifth brother.

Afterwards, the prince sent the fifth elder brother back to the elder brother's place.

On the way, the prince comforted the fifth elder brother: "Xiao Wu, I heard about what happened yesterday. At the ** meeting yesterday, Khan Ama announced that it is forbidden for women to be buried forever."

"Really?" Brother Fifth was a little happy, but also a little helpless.He knew that abolishing Neo Confucianism was whimsical, but he still couldn't help fantasizing about it.

"Don't always be so impulsive. Khan Ama also has Khan Ama's difficulties, Xiao Wu, you have to think more about Khan Ama." The prince sighed, "Don't Khan Ama want to change these bad habits? But food has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be taken step by step. Nothing can be accomplished overnight. Do you know how many Han ministers opposed the decree of Khan Ama yesterday?"

"I know, second brother. Khan Ama is not easy. I just, I just can't help but want to speak out my thoughts. I just don't want so many tragic things to happen in this world." Fifth elder brother is also very confused.

"Second brother knows it, Khan Ama knows it too, everyone knows it. It's okay, Xiao Wu, we will all try our best to help you realize your wish." It is difficult to raise a villain.

The child's heart is always moving, even Khan Ama always dotes on him, the prince sighed.
