Crossing the East Palace

"Whoa!"

Aunt Yu was startled and cried out.

The queen said: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Yu hurriedly hugged the baby, and walked towards the queen: "Look, ma'am, it's strange that the servant only thought that the baby was born with a red mole, but I didn't expect that he was born less than half an hour ago, and he has already opened his eyes. Open your eyes."

The queen turned her head and saw that it was not good where the red mole grew. It happened to be on the place where the baby's eyebrows were slightly above the forehead. It was like the red mole on the statue of Guanyin. She immediately felt disgusted: "Auntie said What's more, the appearance of a boy and a girl is really strange."

Aunt Yu hesitated to speak, and said a few more words to the queen, and called the good time and beautiful scenery outside the door, and asked them to take good care of the empress, then she took the blood book and opened an umbrella to cover the baby, and then went to the rain Went out at night.

It just so happened that the imperial physician and Mrs. Wen rushed over, and the guards were about to let her go. Aunt Yu rushed out without saying a word.

The chief guard immediately raised his sword and said, "How can you disobey the imperial edict, you maidservant? Leave Qingning Palace privately?"

Aunt Yu raised the baby in her arms: "It's not that I want to leave Qingning Palace, but that the Seventh Prince wants to leave Qingning Palace. The Holy Majesty said that the Queen is not allowed to leave Qingning Palace, but when did he say that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is not allowed to leave? Stop me, I have nothing to say. However, this empress is a descendant of the blood of the sage, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. Do you really want to stop the Seventh Prince?"

The chief guard's eyes were wide open, he felt that the palace maid was too troublesome, and he neither dared to stop her nor let her go immediately.While thinking in his heart, a guard next to him said in the ear of the chief guard: "Why are you worrying? Our duty is to stop her. It's just that the palace maid threatens the seventh prince. How can I hurt the seventh prince? This is how I will hurt the seventh prince." The servant girl was let out."

The chief guard really stopped Aunt Yu in vain, how shrewd is Aunt Yu?Although she was bitter in her heart, the empress wanted her to come out like this, so she didn't hesitate at the moment, hugged the seventh prince, and rushed out, completely ignoring the chief guard and two guards following her.

The palace gates were locked all the way, but Aunt Yu had the Seventh Prince in hand, so the whole journey was unimpeded. At midnight, she arrived at the gate of Changle Palace, raised an umbrella to cover the Seventh Prince, and knelt down.

"Please help me, send us a message and tell the Empress Dowager that we are hugging the seventh prince who was just born by the empress, and come to pay her respects!"

After saying such words, and seeing the heavy rain, how can an umbrella cover the heavy rain?

Aunt Yu was completely soaked, and the swaddling clothes were already half-wet. The crying of the baby in the baby was loud, and the slaves guarding the Changle Palace did not dare to delay.

Aunt An immediately got up and went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

——If Aunt Yu came alone, not to mention the Empress Dowager, Aunt An would not even see her.But now that Aunt Yu came here with the newborn Seventh Prince in her arms, and she came here on such a rainy day, she had to tell the Empress Dowager.And it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to let this newly born great-grandson get wet in the rain.

The Empress Dowager was old, so she already felt light, and she opened her eyes when she heard that Aunt An was coming.

After hearing from Aunt An that Aunt Yu, who was beside the queen, was holding the Seventh Prince in the rain, the Empress Dowager woke up immediately.

"Presumptuous!" The Empress Dowager said angrily, "Master Ning dares to threaten Aijia with Xiaoqi's body!"

Aunt An hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, let the slaves hurry up and bring His Highness Seventh."

The Empress Dowager said: "You have always done things safely, why didn't you bring Xiao Qi here this time, and then report it to Ai's family?"

Why?Naturally, it was Aunt Yu who kept saying that without the empress dowager's words, she would never give up the queen's flesh and blood to others?Not even Aunt An who is next to the Empress Dowager?

The empress dowager looked even more annoyed, and said: "Bring her quickly, Xiaoqi will be held by you. If she doesn't follow, she will be killed on the spot!"

Aunt An didn't even lift her eyelids, she responded, "Your servant obeys."

After burning incense, Aunt An hurriedly walked in with the Seventh Prince in her arms.

Because Aunt Yu was soaked all over, she was not suitable to meet the Empress Dowager, so she was taken down to change clothes.

When the Empress Dowager heard it, she said disgustedly: "If you take it down, don't bring it up again."

Aunt An embraced the little Seventh Prince, hurriedly responded, and then lifted the Seventh Prince's swaddling clothes to show the Empress Dowager.

"Ah." Aunt An was shocked, "Master, look quickly, there is actually a red mole between the eyebrows of the Seventh Prince! Eh? Master, he has opened his eyes!"

Although the Empress Dowager was well-informed, she couldn't help but take a look.

The baby's complexion was reddish, and the red mole above the eyebrows was even more eye-catching.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, and was about to laugh when she saw the baby's clean and bright eyes suddenly wide open, looking back at her curiously.

The Empress Dowager is over sixty years old.At this age, what I like the most is the child's clean eyes?Especially since this child is still the great-grandson of his own direct relative.

The Empress Dowager caressed the red mole on the baby's forehead lovingly, and said happily: "This red mole grows directly above the eyebrows, and it is actually a Guanyin mole! Bless the Buddha, it is because of the blessings accumulated by my royal family for many years that I got such a baby." A prince!"

Aunt An immediately knelt down on her knees, held the baby high with both hands, and said, "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, a good omen from heaven! Congratulations to Your Highness the Seventh Highness, who was born with Buddha's destiny!"

After Aunt An finished speaking, the other maids in the palace also hurriedly knelt down and repeated Aunt An's words.

The Empress Dowager rarely laughed out loud, and hugged the baby with her own hands, saying: "You girl, you have always been a sweetheart. However, it's good to be a sweetheart, and a sweetheart is good!" Looking down at the baby, she said lovingly, "Today is His Royal Highness's birthday, and she was born with a mole of Guanyin. , won the favor of the Buddha, and the whole palace, all enjoy the three-month monthly ritual, and the Changle Palace rewards the half-year monthly ritual."

Everyone kowtowed to thank him without mentioning it.

The Empress Dowager lowered her head and felt that her hands were slightly wet. Thinking that the Seventh Prince had been drenched in the heavy rain for a long time, she felt even more displeased with the Empress. Come, ask the small kitchen to prepare a small quilt with hot water, change this swaddle for Xiaoqi, and wipe it well."

When the Empress Dowager gave an order, everyone got busy.

Without a cup of tea, the Empress Dowager carried the Seventh Prince to the side hall in person.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Seventh Prince is young, so it's inevitable that there will be filth on his body at this moment, so it's better to come here as a servant."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she gave up on changing the clothes of the Seventh Prince herself, and stood aside, intending to watch Aunt An change the clothes of the Seventh Prince.

Then Baozhu, the servant girl beside the Empress Dowager, walked in quickly and whispered that the Empress Dowager had arrived.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, and Baozhu went out to invite someone.

Changle Palace is very close to Shou'an Palace, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are the aunts and nephews of the direct relatives. When they heard the movement here, they might rush over to have a look.

The empress dowager is sixty-five years old, and the empress dowager is 46 years old. She wears plain clothes and has the same round face as the empress dowager, but she looks like she is in her early forties.

"Auntie, I heard that there is a lot of movement here, but something happened..." The Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager have always been close. After curtseying for a while, they stood up by themselves. Just as they spoke, they heard the baby crying and Aunt An's surprise. the sound of.

"This is..." After the Queen Mother hesitated, Aunt An knelt down on the ground, holding a piece of cloth in her hand.

"Your servant is disrespectful." Aunt An lifted up the piece of cloth and hurriedly said, "This piece of cloth is wrapped around His Highness the Seventh Highness, and there seems to be blood stains on it, and I'm afraid it's... the empress is going to pass it to the Taihuang Her Majesty's autograph."

The empress dowager kept a cold face, obviously she was extremely dissatisfied with the empress.

The Empress Dowager was soft-hearted, she glanced at her aunt, then beckoned and said, "Read aloud."

Aunt An was naturally literate, so she put the cloth on the queen's invitation and read it out word by word.

"...The concubine was trained when she was young, and the word loyalty and filial piety was the first word learned by the descendants of the Ning family. The word loyalty and filial piety has long been engraved in the hearts of the descendants of the Ning family....The concubine does not ask for forgiveness, because he is unfaithful, filial, benevolent and unkind. A righteous person will ask for forgiveness. What the courtiers and concubines ask, only the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the emperor are willing to thoroughly investigate the case of treason by the Ning family. The empress dowager took pity on her, and brought up the concubine's bereaved son, and became a king for a while. Concubine Ning, Jin bows."

Every word written by the Ning family speaks of the loyalty of the Ning family.And since the Ning family is loyal, how can they collude with the enemy and treason?But since the Ning family dared to ask the emperor to investigate the case carefully, it can be seen that she is loyal to the Ning family and extremely confident.

"That's all." The Empress Dowager helped the Empress Dowager to the bed, and said, "The Ning family has been a general for generations, and they have been loyal for generations. The emperor did not believe in the case of treason. Aunt locked the empress in Qingning Palace, so why not protect the empress? What does it mean to protect the flesh and blood of the empress? Even if the empress did not do this, the emperor would investigate the case thoroughly and return the Ning family to innocence. However, it is not impossible for the empress to suddenly become confused for the sake of the child as a mother Things. Auntie looks at the child's face, just forgive him."

The Ning family is loyal, how could the Empress Dowager not know what the Ning family wrote in the blood book?

But precisely because they knew that the Ning family was wronged for treason and collaboration with the enemy, half of the officials in the court wrote a letter to seize the military positions of Marshal Ning and General Ning, and they were detained for trial. The emperor still thought of the loyalty of the Ning family and only sent upright officials He hurried to investigate the matter strictly, but did not dismiss the Ning family from official positions at all.

Even in the harem, because Ning Shi was about to give birth, the emperor and her were worried that the blind concubine would disturb Ning Shi, and in order to silence others, they simply confined Ning Shi to Qingning Palace.Although the feet are restricted, in the Qingning Palace, except for Xin Zhaoyi and her two personal maids, the rest are Ning's own people.The clothes, food and meals sent were all sent from the kitchens of the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager.

With such a lot of effort, no matter whether it is the empress dowager or the emperor, everyone thinks that the Ning family will be grateful to them, take care of their bodies, and give birth to dragon sons.Unexpectedly, Ning Shi gave birth suddenly, and even made up her own mind to write a blood letter after giving birth. As soon as the Seventh Prince was born, he was sent to her palace in the rain.

With such actions by the Ning family, how could they not indirectly force the empress dowager and the emperor to clear up the grievances of the Ning family?

Although the empress dowager knew that the emperor would continue to use the Ning family, and originally planned to clear up the grievances of the Ning family.However, there is a huge difference between the emperor himself wanting to help and the Ning family using means to force him.

The Empress Dowager was about to reprimand the Ning family, but she saw that her niece and widow daughter-in-law had happily embraced the Seventh Prince.

"This child..." the queen mother said joyfully, "the eyebrows and eyes really look like the emperor when he was a child. And these eyes, which were opened at birth, are clear and bright, and there are red moles on his forehead like Guanyin. He is the son of Zhonggong, this is really a good omen."

When the Empress Dowager heard the phrase "son of the middle palace", she sighed in her heart, that's all.

Let it go, no matter how confused the Ning family is, the Ning family is not. When Marshal Ning and General Ning come back, the emperor will still use them to defend the border; Such an identity, such auspicious omen, is enough to eliminate some of Ning's faults.

However, Ning Shi had to punish her good grandson if she let her good grandson get caught in the rain.

"After dawn, pass on the decree of mourning the family, Queen Ning, who is virtuous and virtuous, who gave birth to an emperor's heir, should be the head of the harem, the confinement... Let's go." Then he glanced at the seventh prince, "But the queen just gave birth to a child , I wrote a blood letter, thinking that my health was not good, so I asked the Seventh Prince to stay at Ai's house for a few more days."

"Ah, His Highness the Seventh Prince smiled."

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager heard the words and saw the white and tender little baby's face, smiling happily.

"This child is so happy to hear that he can stay with his aunt. It can be seen that the great-grandson relationship is really natural!"

The baby laughed more and more cheerfully, with big eyes, he couldn't clearly see the faces of the people around him, but he still turned around, not lively.

It's a pity that the baby just rolled his eyes in his heart - he doesn't understand such things as natural kinship.However, after finally time travelling, he became the "civet cat" in the princess who was replaced by a civet cat. Isn't it better to live in the palace of the empress dowager who loves him than in the palace of the queen?

Besides, the queen couldn't help but be satisfied, so wouldn't his biological mother, Xin Zhaoyi, also be free?Even if you can't move out of Qingning Palace, there will be more and more people waiting around.Thinking about the queen, the chance of attacking Xin Zhaoyi would be reduced by more than half.

With such an intention, this baby with a very old psychological age actually laughed more and more cheerfully.
