Crossing the East Palace

The fact that Concubine Xin was pregnant not only shocked Emperor Tianyuan and Tang Luojin, but Concubine Xin herself never thought that after giving birth to the Nine Princesses, she would be able to have another child.

Gently stroking her upper abdomen, Concubine Xin lost her mind slightly.

She still remembered that the year was the tenth year of Tianyuan, and the prince had just returned to the palace. With her big belly, she was thinking about the fifth princess and was pregnant with the ninth princess. In fact, she wanted to use the ninth princess to arouse the emperor's pity for the fifth princess. In the future, the fifth princess can be brought back smoothly.

However, the fifth princess is not her daughter.

And the queen's cousin, even after getting Xiaoqi again, still refused to let her go, trying to kill her twice.

Fortunately, at that time, her son sent a female officer who was good at medical skills to personally enter the delivery room, allowing her to give birth to the nine princesses and save her life.

Even so, at that time, she was also diagnosed by the imperial physician that it took too long to give birth to the Ninth Princess, and there was some heavy bleeding. She was afraid that she would not be able to conceive again in the future, and she would suffer a lot when monthly events came.

It's a pity that at that time, she could be naive. She really thought that the female officer with medical skills in the Eastern Palace would appear when she gave birth. It was really just a coincidence.

Concubine Xin shook her head bitterly.

The Ninth Princess was also happily walking around in Concubine Xin's bedroom.

"That's great, that's great! I have my own younger siblings too! I can take care of them as an older sister!" The smile on Princess Nine's face was extraordinarily bright, she muttered a few words to herself, and ran to Concubine Xin, saying joyfully , "You have to be obedient, when you come out, sister and concubine mother will take care of you together."

Concubine Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Nonsense, you are seventeen, it's time to get married."

Princess Jiu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Concubine Xin sighed: "Xiao Jiu, you have to remember that you are the princess of Datang, no matter what, no one will say anything to you. Even if someone says something, you can still let someone beat him out .You are a princess and you have that right."

Ninth Princess twisted the veil, bit her lips and said: "But Concubine Mu, I and my two fiancés are indeed dead."

Concubine Xin has been looking for a son-in-law for the ninth princess since the ninth princess was 14 years old. It's not that she has to marry him immediately after she finds it, but to make a decision first, so as not to be snatched away by others.

As a result, the son-in-law selected by Concubine Xin twice unexpectedly passed away unexpectedly not long after she got engaged to the Ninth Princess.

Nine princesses have only been dragged to the age of 17, and they still haven't made a decision.

Concubine Xin paused slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Does Xiao Jiu know Jiang Hanbing, the fourth son of the Jiang family?"

Ninth Princess was taken aback.

Concubine Xin said: "The fourth son of the Jiang family is the younger brother of the prince's fiancée. He has always worked with the prince. In the past two or three years, he was sent by the prince to the Turkic border to work under Xin Guogong. He only came back when he got a fifth-rank county baron. Now he is back with the prince."

Princess Jiu came back to her senses, and said: "He is... sister Yi'er's younger brother, the prince's elder brother?"

Concubine Xin nodded, and said: "The crown prince told the concubine mother to listen. The crown prince said that in the past two years, Jiang Hanbing will be used by his side, so he will not send Jiang Hanbing out. When he needs it in the future, he will let Jiang Hanbing go to the battlefield to earn money." Military exploits. Left and right Jiang Hanbing is capable of literature and martial arts, martial arts can go to the battlefield, and Wen Neng works beside the prince, so there is always no way out. Moreover, the four sons of the Jiang family, Jiang Hanbing has three elder brothers who live in the eldest princess's mansion to honor the elder. The princess, Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Hanbing can live directly in your princess mansion when Jiang Hanbing arrives."

Moreover, Jiang Hanbing also lost a fiancée.In this way, don't dislike anyone, and Concubine Xin doesn't worry about the Jiang family blaming Princess Nine for this.

"Did the elder brother say it?" Princess Jiu murmured, and then said, "Since it was said by the elder brother, then I will get married. The elder brothers always love me, so this time it must be the elder brother who chooses me a thousand times." Only those selected by Wan will tell the mother and concubine."

Concubine Xin smiled and shook her head: "Xiao Jiu, don't do this. Your prince brother said that he will let you meet Jiang Hanbing a few times. If you really want to marry, then let you marry. If you don't like it in your heart, then People, then just continue to choose. Zuo Xiaojiu is our princess in Datang, so she has no worries about marrying."

Only then did Princess Jiu giggle and said, "I knew it, the prince brother loves me the most!"

Look, even her title was taken by the prince himself. Princess Duanfu - her prince brother, I hope she will have great blessings!

Concubine Xin was worried about the marriage of the ninth princess, and Emperor Tianyuan was also worried.

However, Emperor Tianyuan was not only worried about the marriage of the ninth princess, but also the marriages of the eleventh, thirteenth, and fourteenth princesses below the ninth.As for the other princes... let Xiao Qi worry about it.

The thirteenth and fourteenth princesses are still young, and now only engagement is enough. The ninth and eleventh princesses are 17 years old and 16 years old. Emperor Tianyuan intends to marry them off immediately.

The Empress Dowager was startled when she heard Emperor Tianyuan's plan, she put down the teacup in her hand, and with a wave of her hand, all the palace people quietly retreated.

Emperor Tianyuan remained silent, and the palace people around him also quietly retreated.

The queen mother said: "Emperor, you are only 47 years old now. After the imperial conquest, you will have many blessings to enjoy and many state affairs to deal with when you come back. The marriage of the princesses is not urgent. When the emperor comes back, It’s not too late to get them married.”

Emperor Tianyuan saw that he could not hide from the queen mother, he was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "It is the son's fault. He wanted to ask the queen mother to help the son, but he refused to tell the queen mother how the son's health is now."

The queen mother was terrified when she heard it, and looked at Emperor Tianyuan in astonishment.

Emperor Tianyuan smiled bitterly and said: "When the father was still there, the kings seized the heir. Because I was raised by the mother's queen, I obtained the precious status of half a son, and I was also hated by my brothers. At that time, the father made me When I went to the south to deal with the flood, I was ambushed and seriously injured on the road. Fortunately, I happened to meet Master Zhishan, who was still a traveling doctor at that time, and was rescued by Master Zhishan in time, so I saved my life. Before Over the years, Master Zhishan gave me medicine every year, which made my son look as healthy as ordinary people."

"It's just that he was seriously injured at the beginning. Although he looks better, the root cause of the disease is still there. Master Zhishan said back then that his son's body is like this, and he may not live as long as ordinary people. But if we can find that doctor... maybe It can also make my son live a few more years."

The queen mother immediately said: "Then go find it! Just say that Ai's family is seriously ill, and immediately issue an edict to find a famous doctor in the world!"

Emperor Tianyuan smiled bitterly and said: "The doctor that Master Zhishan mentioned passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, and he can no longer take care of his son's body. As for the other doctors, his son was also searched for, and then he became an ordinary person and let them Seeing a doctor, there is still no cure. My son now has a short lifespan, so he wants to fulfill the late emperor's last wish. No matter what, he must be conscripted by the emperor himself. It's just that after this trip... the son may not come back. That's all for the prince, he has a concubine by his side, and he will wait for a few years; the ninth princess and the eleventh princess, I'm afraid it's not easy to wait any longer. That's why the son thought, let the two of them get married before the son leaves .”

The queen mother finally had nothing to persuade her, she burst into tears: "The emperor is a good emperor. During the years you have been in power, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the barbarians around you belong to the country, so they dare not be too presumptuous. Since the emperor is the emperor, why did God accept it? Your life, but keep the useless life of Aijia, and live on in the world?"

Although Emperor Tianyuan was not the Empress Dowager's biological son, the relationship between the two was pretty good.Emperor Tianyuan knew the etiquette, and the Empress Dowager knew how to do it, but she didn't criticize what Emperor Tianyuan did. Although the mother and son were not their own mother and son, they were like their own.

Knowing that Emperor Tianyuan is going, fearing that he might not be able to come back alive, how could the Queen Mother not be sad?

Emperor Tianyuan sighed: "Mother, don't be sad. My son hasn't told Xiao Qi about these things. Xiao Qi...although he is very good, he has the emperor's mind, intelligence, Bole talent, and decisiveness in killing and attacking. He has all of them." But Xiaoqi also has shortcomings. He is too attached to feelings, especially to those who are close to him. If the son is here... If something really happens, the mother will definitely watch him and let him ascend the throne smoothly."

After that, he told the Queen Mother the location of the Tibetan edict and the jade seal.

"Although Xiaoqi can successfully ascend the throne without these two things, but...if something happens, the queen mother will use these two things to announce to the world, to show that the person who takes my throne must be the crown prince! In addition , and one more..."

The mother and son chattered for an hour before Emperor Tianyuan left. The Empress Dowager wiped away her tears and pretended nothing happened.

At the beginning of June in the 20th year of Tianyuan, the ninth princess, Duanfu, married Jiang Hanbing, a county man, and the eleventh princess, Duanmin, married the champion of Jin Kewu, and they were given to live in the princess mansion.

In mid-June, the imperial court consolidated its forces and supplies, and Emperor Tianyuan led the conquest in person, all the way to the Turkic border.

The prince supervises the country.

According to Emperor Tianyuan's will before he left, the prince was ordered to replace him, and he could handle everything in Datang, regardless of anything.

It is not that no one in the court questioned Emperor Tianyuan when he announced this will, but the longer Emperor Tianyuan was emperor, the more he showed his strong side, and the prince has always been strong, and he has the love of the people, the respect of the soldiers, and the military merits. In hand, the prince originally had private soldiers, and everyone was unconvinced in their hearts, so they had to suppress those dissatisfaction, tucked their tails, worked under the prince, and looked forward to Emperor Tianyuan's return soon.

In Prince Yi's Mansion, the Fourth Prince was standing in the study with a livid face, thinking about something expressionlessly.

When the five-year-old Twelfth Prince said those words in front of him, he thought it was just absurd.However, when the words of the twelve princes were verified one by one, the fourth prince suddenly realized that the twelve princes might not have lied to him, and that the twelve princes really had the ability to "prophesy" and know the future.

But now?Obviously the Twelfth Prince said that as long as the pregnant maid was aborted, then even if someone becomes pregnant in the future, the status of the pregnant person will definitely not be high, and it will not be difficult to do it at that time.But now?Why is Concubine Xin pregnant?

Moreover, Imperial Concubine Xin is clearly in her forties, but now she is pregnant, but she is in good health, and she can still manage the wedding of the Ninth Princess. That's it, the child is still staying in her belly.

The fourth prince doesn't know who else the twelfth prince is looking for besides him, but it is obvious that no one sent by the fourth prince or anyone else will be able to get close to Concubine Xin, let alone be against Concubine Xin. Concubine Xin made her move.

Someone is protecting Concubine Xin, and hopes that Concubine Xin's child will be born smoothly.

But who is it?There are also twelve princes. The fourth prince believes that he must have the ability to "predict" the future, but the twelve princes have never told him that Concubine Xin will be pregnant. So, does it mean that ten Was the second prince's move intentional?

At that time, the twelve princes said that although the prince has a concubine but has no son, it is a big taboo; but if the prince promises that if he still has no son in ten or twenty years, he will be willing to make a prince, then the court will let the prince go , and will support the prince even more.

That's why the twelve princes said that after him, no more princes should be born in the palace.Even if you are born, you shouldn't live.

But now, the crown prince is indeed as the twelve princes said, although there are concubines, no one is pregnant; but Xin Guifei, whom the twelve princes never mentioned, is suddenly pregnant.

Moreover, this child will be 20 years younger than the prince. Although it is not the most suitable, it is obviously a good reason for the prince who is currently childless.

And the royal father...

The twelfth prince said that his father was going here because he was afraid of hardships and dangers.Since it is difficult and dangerous, then don't let the father come back.

In this way, they can wait for the opportunity when Tang Luojin's wings are not so strong.

But, how can I make my father seriously unable to come back?How can Concubine Xin's child be lost?Let Tang Luojin's plan fail?

When the fourth prince was thinking about it, the nurse next to the fourth prince's concubine suddenly came to report.

"My lord! Little prince, little prince, he, he sneaked into the stable, and was trampled to death by your bloody BMW..."

The fourth prince stood up suddenly.

It is taboo for a prince to have no children.And the fourth prince has only one son under his knees.

But this son just died.

When he calculated his father and other people's sons.

Gone.
