Crossing the East Palace

Mrs. Yuehou tried her best to persuade her, but she had no selfishness in her heart.

Master Zhishan once said that the queen had to give birth to three princesses who were younger than Tang Luojin, and only after she was 35 years old could she have a son.

But seeing that the queen's two princesses are gone, even though they are healthy, the third princess has not come, and the last youngest son is still missing.

Most of the men in the royal family were short-lived, especially the emperor.Since ancient times, there have been few emperors who lived to be over 60 years old.

If the queen has a son after the age of 35, then the emperor will be 38 years old after the birth of the child.

If Emperor Tianyuan lived long enough to live to be six or seventy years old, then the real son of the empress would be in his prime at that time, and it would be a good time to inherit the throne.

But, can Emperor Tianyuan really live a long life?

Mrs. Yuehou and Emperor Tianyuan were about the same age, so she naturally remembered that when Emperor Tianyuan and several princes competed for the throne, she was seriously injured and her heart was broken. Fortunately, Master Zhishan rescued her and finally survived and won the throne.

Although there have been no rumors of Emperor Tianyuan's poor health these years, the royal family's secrets are kept secret. Mrs. Yuehou is very worried that Emperor Tianyuan's lifespan will not be long enough, at least not long enough for her sister's biological son to grow up. .

Moreover, after Huan'er lost two daughters in a row, her hatred for Concubine Xin's mother and son overshadowed her reason.Huan'er only saw Tang Luojin's threat to her future biological son, but she didn't see the 15-year-old eldest prince who had the Prime Minister's Li family as the backer, and the 14-year-old eldest prince who had a noble family background and the entire Jiangnan Academy as the backer. Second Prince.

Compared to Tang Luojin, these two are even older.Even this year, Concubine Xiang Gui and Concubine Jiang De have already selected the concubine and side concubine for the two of them. Once they get married, they will be able to enter the court one step earlier than the rest of the princes.

Mrs. Yue Hou sighed inwardly.If Huan'er was not confused, she had tamed Tang Luojin early on, even if Tang Luojin was not Huan'er's biological child, at least publicly and privately, Tang Luojin would always regard Huan'er as her biological mother, and would definitely treat her biological mother completely. trust.In this way, if Emperor Tianyuan lives long enough, when Tang Luojin defeats the eldest prince and the second prince, and the rest of the princes are honest, then they will try to get rid of Tang Luojin and let Huan'er's biological son It is entirely possible to ascend to the throne.

If Emperor Tianyuan's lifespan is not long enough, then even if Tang Luojin really becomes the emperor, as long as they keep the secret to themselves, no one can doubt that Tang Luojin and Huan'er accidentally have a similar appearance. Isn't Tang Luojin Huan'er's son?In this way, whether it is the Ning family, Huan'er, or her, they can naturally get the benefits.

If Huan'er still does not give up at that time and wants to make her son the emperor, Mrs. Yue Hou has a solution in her mind.

It's just that for all these plans, when Mrs. Yuehou saw the queen who was getting more and more wrong, Mrs. Yuehou held back these words for her life, and turned into the previous persuasion.

Let it go, let's stabilize Huan'er first.

Then... think of another way, and get an old doctor from outside the palace to give Huan'er a good diagnosis and treatment.

The harem is so dirty, Huan'er is so different from before, she always feels that Huan'er has been murdered by villains.

The queen didn't stop at what the elder sister was thinking, after hearing what the elder sister said to persuade her, she was silent for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said: "Come on. In the past few years, I have neglected him, and the emperor has also neglected me. .Even if you come to me on the fifteenth day of every month, you will rarely touch me again." The queen paused, then said, "I don't really care about the emperor's favor. But, I always want to put my last son Girl, it's better to give Yi Yi a life."

Only then did Madam Yue heave a sigh of relief.

However, she was not relieved yet, and the queen said again: "But elder sister, let's just leave it alone, the matter of revenge on Concubine Xin... It is impossible for her to give birth again in her life. In bed, when the weather is warmer, she often gets sick... She is so weak that it would be torture to let her suffer for a few more years. It's just the fifth princess of my palace... Big sister, I want to bring the fifth princess to me to raise her. "

Mrs. Yuehou stopped suddenly.

It took a while to find her own voice, and said: "Huan'er is worried that the fifth princess will get close to Concubine Xin? Why should you be afraid? The fifth princess has been away from the palace for seven years, and now she is seven years old. Naturally, she knows how to please her aunt. Her advantage is that as long as Huan'er gives a little signal, she will not get close to Concubine Xin. Besides, the fifth princess is already seven years old. According to the rules of the palace, she should live in the princess courtyard, and should not live with her biological mother. Huan'er If I do it reluctantly, I'm afraid it will make the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager feel suspicious."

The queen looked at Mrs. Yuehou.

Mrs. Marquis Yue went so far: "The fifth princess and the crown prince were born on the same day in the same year, and they were both born prematurely."

Such a coincidence should have been suspicious.

But maybe God helped the queen, Tang Luojin was born seven or eight points like a royal family member, but the remaining one or two points, it was a coincidence that she looked like a queen.

Therefore, the doubts in the hearts of the people in the harem turned into a sudden realization—the queen gave birth to the night, maybe she really thought about the idea of ​​changing children, but it was a coincidence that the queen was lucky and gave birth to a son, and Concubine Xin gave birth to a daughter Only then did the empress change her son.

The queen also got seven years of peace.

However, if the empress is particularly close to the fifth princess, there are many smart people in the palace, so why can't she think of the passing of the generation from generation to generation?

You must know that Mrs. Yuehou and the queen's biological mother, the deceased Mrs. Cheng'en, and Concubine Xin's biological mother are direct cousins. Although the two have different temperaments, if someone close to them takes a closer look, they can still tell how much they are. very similar.

The reason why Tang Luojin looked a bit like an empress was that she was not actually an empress, but Concubine Xin's birth mother.Concubine Xin's biological mother is similar to Mrs. Cheng Engong, and Tang Luojin is like a queen, and it is not without reason.

After hearing this, the queen finally gave up the idea of ​​raising the fifth princess.

"My poor Wu'er, I don't have either name yet." The queen sighed, "Not only is she not named, but she hasn't stayed by my side since she was born. I always feel a lot of guilt towards her. Sister, you say, How can I treat her better and let her stay by my side for more time?"

Mrs. Yue Hou couldn't help it either.

In fact, if Mrs. Yuehou were to tell her, since the empress had thought of a plan to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix into a phoenix, she should be ruthless. Even if it was a pretend, she had to pretend that Tang Luojin was her own son. Everyone could see how close mother and son were. Even if Tang Luojin "accidentally" made a mistake, no one would think of her; as for the daughter who was replaced, Concubine Xin was their cousin, and they knew how soft-hearted she was. Not bad, with such a mother's family, the fifth princess can't suffer.If he really felt guilty, then the Empress Chu should be more ruthless and get rid of Concubine Xin directly. Wouldn't the Empress be able to raise two children?

It's a pity that the empress was too indecisive in her actions at the beginning, and took the initiative. Now Concubine Xin has two daughters. Although Concubine Xin herself has not been promoted, her father, brother, son and nephew have been compensated for this. For Concubine Xin, it may not be a bad thing.

It's just that the queen wants to get her daughter back, which is almost impossible.

The queen was not completely ignorant, she sat down with Mrs. Yue Hou and sighed, but she also let go of the matter.

The queen could only think that finding a good husband's family for the fifth princess was a gesture of her motherly kindness.

The queen is making careful plans for the five princesses, and so is Concubine Xin.

But besides them, there are still people who are "planning" for the fifth princess.

"Eldest Imperial Sister really convinced the Fifth Imperial Sister?" The Eldest Prince is now ten to five, burly and strong, armed with force, no one can match among the princes, and asked suspiciously, "But the Fifth Imperial Sister is already seven years old, how can she be willing to fight again?" Suffering the pain of broken bones? Besides, Wu Huangmei has golden branches and jade leaves, why worry about not getting married, how can she be willing to suffer such suffering?"

Concubine Xiang sneered and said, "My son doesn't understand women. What's more, your fifth sister, although she is a golden branch and jade leaf, was sent to the nunnery shortly after she was born. What is there in the nunnery? Ancient Buddhas in green clothes, wooden fish incense candles, The servants and slaves around your fifth emperor sister bullied the master, and raised your fifth emperor sister to be cowardly and cowardly. She dared not leave the nunnery for half a step, and she was sent to the nunnery only because she thought she was disliked. Such a fifth princess Although she has the body of a princess, how can she have the manners of a princess? Zuo is just a foolish girl. Besides, I don't know, the eldest princess bound the feet of the fifth princess three months ago in order to please us , now, I am afraid that it has already achieved some results."

The eldest prince was relieved at first when he heard the words, and then said: "The fifth emperor's sister is obedient, it is the best. However, the fifth emperor's sister has bound her feet for so long, did the empress dowager not get any news? Concubine Xin There is no movement around?"

Concubine Xiang understood this quite well, and said: "The two aunts sent by the empress dowager fell seriously ill for some reason, so they had to leave. The empress dowager wanted to send people there again, but the empress beat She was a step ahead, and put in the manpower first. The empress dowager didn't know what to think, so she let the empress go. Although the empress has the reputation of being a queen, she has become more and more confused in recent years, and she can't control her servants. It's strange Who gets it? As for Concubine Xin, in the past few years, she has only been able to let in a few little nuns who clean up, and she can't get close to the fifth princess."

Concubine Xiang said this, but she guessed in her heart that the queen probably didn't like Concubine Xin being favored, so she deliberately pretended not to know about the five princesses' footbinding, so that the eldest princess really did it.

The eldest prince looked slightly smug: "That's good. Mother and concubine let go, and the son has arranged a censor on the other side of the court, and then he will directly participate in the court. , scolding the woman with feet bound. Since the crown prince has the most reputation, the crown prince has such a stigma, when the time comes, let’s see how the crown prince will refute it in the court? Let’s see if the father still thinks that his Xiao Qi is anyone No one can compare?"

Concubine Xiang looked at the eldest prince lovingly for a while, then relieved the eldest prince for a while, and then mentioned another matter: "That's all, when it comes to the court, those ministers who have foot-bound women in their families, especially wives and daughters, It is inevitable to quarrel with the prince. At that time, the emperor will not be able to protect the prince. However, what are your plans for the matter that the concubine mother told you? Although Min'er looks a little ordinary, she is your great-grandfather's favorite after all. A great-granddaughter of yours, who is also your uncle and aunt's only legitimate daughter. If you marry her, the Li family will not even plan for you."

The eldest prince naturally wants the Li family to support him, but the Cousin Min mentioned by Concubine Xiang is really too ordinary in appearance, and has a straight face all day long, just like the disgusting Tang Luojin, who has no expression. Every time I see her, I can't afford the slightest love.But the mother concubine asked him to marry her, but it was for the Li family that he could not abandon.

The eldest prince weighed the Li family and Cousin Min in his heart, and finally said reluctantly: "Marriage is a major matter, the order of the parents. These are naturally decided by the mother and concubine. The son, the son just marry her!"

Seeing the eldest prince's reluctance, Concubine Xiang smiled, covering her handkerchief, "You! You think that your Cousin Min is really unmarried, so you are asked to marry her with alms? The concubine mother is just telling you now. , on your grandfather's side, the concubine mother has to give up her face to ask for it, but even so, you may not be able to marry your cousin Min."

The Li family said before that they would not help the eldest prince win the heir.Now it is not easy for them to ask to marry the daughter of the Li family.

The First Prince was young after all, so he didn't take it seriously.He is the eldest son of the father and emperor, and he is eight years older than Xiao Qi who became the prince. It is a blessing for a daughter of the Li family to marry him.How could the Li family shirk?

Taking a step back, if the Li family really shirks, the girl's reputation is the most important thing, if he wants to marry Cousin Min... there are ways.

It's just that when the time comes, whether to be the main concubine or side concubine will depend on his mood.

Concubine Xiang didn't know what her son had come up with, she just said that his son still didn't like his niece's appearance, so he babbled and said good things about the Li family.

The eldest prince's ears felt callused when he heard it, he was melancholy for a while, and hurriedly avoided it.

Concubine Xiang couldn't laugh or cry when she saw this, and said with a smile: "This child is also stupid. So what if the first wife is not good-looking? As long as the concubine's room is beautiful and moving, isn't that enough? But he is confused, breathe in."

Concubine Xiang's nurse echoed a few words, and asked cautiously: "The censor that the eldest prince was looking for in the court hall probably didn't clean up his tail. If the emperor knows that this censor is the action of the eldest prince, what... Is good?"

Concubine Xiang disapproved and said: "Nurse is too worried. The emperor also experienced the danger of seizing the throne. In order to test the princes, the late emperor allowed them to compete for the reserve within the control of the late emperor. The emperor was not originally a candidate for the reserve. , it was just the whetstone that the late emperor gave to... that person. But in the end, it was the emperor who ascended to the current position. It can be seen that the world is impermanent. Now it is a whetstone, but it may not be a whetstone for a lifetime."

Tang Luojin didn't know anything about the eldest prince's affairs.

He was boxing with Ning Junchi.

Tang Luojin originally wanted to learn sword or arrow directly, but Ning Junchi said that he was not strong enough, and he had to practice boxing for two years before he was qualified to learn archery.

Tang Luojin: "..." That's not what his former martial arts master said.

It's a pity that no matter what Ning Junchi's predecessor said, it is Ning Junchi who is teaching Tang Luojin now, and Ning Junchi bears the identity of his uncle. Even if Tang Luojin is not happy, he can only squat aside and punch hard .

"Straighten your arms, and lower them a bit." Ning Junchi is now 16 years old, and he is a handsome young man, Xiao Xiao Susu, quite handsome.

Tang Luojin didn't like him very much.Seeing that several of his companions have started to draw bows and shoot arrows, and he is still punching here, it is no wonder that he can see Ning Junchi pleasing to the eye.

So Tang Luojin's small face became more serious, as if Ning Junchi in front of him was his big enemy.

——But having said that, Ning Junchi is the queen's younger brother, and Ning Junchi obviously can afford the title of "big enemy".

Tang Luojin silently put Ning Junchi and the empress together in his heart and pierced his heart with a thousand arrows, only then did he feel refreshed.

It's a pity that the comfort in my heart is only for a moment.Emperor Tianyuan asked Ning Junchi to befriend him in such a way that he wanted to calm the hearts of Marshal Ning and General Ning who were far away on the border, and let them work for Datang with peace of mind.

But to make them feel at ease, Tang Luojin couldn't touch them easily.

Life is hard, and being a prince is not easy!

Tang Luojin complained a lot in her heart, but there was no expression on her face, her bright black eyes were as serious as if she was really on the battlefield.

Ning Junchi already liked this nephew, and seeing his nephew like this, he naturally liked him a little more.

After taking Tang Luojin to practice today's boxing, Ning Junchi personally brought a cup of honey water over: "Drink it first, to moisten your throat. Then go take a bath. Xiao Qi and I will have dinner together."

Tang Luojin drank the honey water slowly, looked at the sky, and agreed, and then ordered Ze Lan to take Ning Junchi and others to the study to wait for him.

Tang Luojin is a small person, but there are four maids serving her when she takes a bath, so it is natural to take a bath very quickly - although she is not used to being guarded by four women in the bath at first, but as time goes by, she is actually not used to it. Treat them like robots.

The maid who was treated as a robot quickly finished taking a bath for Tang Luojin.

Tang Luojin wiped her hair half dry, then walked to the study.

In the study, Ning Junchi was taking Ning Junyu and the others to criticize the beauties he had drawn before.

Ning Junyu said: "Although Xiaoqi is young, this painting is very energetic. When I look at this painting, I feel that the beauties in this painting seem to be coming out."

Although Yan Qingsong has grown up a bit now, the problem of delicious food has not changed, and said: "The best painting by Your Highness is not a beauty. You didn't see that I offended His Highness that day, and His Highness abruptly let the kitchen go to the kitchen. He cooked a table of spicy dishes and drew several sweet snacks, saying that he wanted me to enjoy the table of spicy dishes and the snacks in the painting, and finish the meal well.”

When Yan Qingsong said it now, he felt extremely painful.

Ning Junyu and the others laughed very happily. Although it was uncomfortable to be tossed by Tang Luojin, but, seeing Tang Luojin toss others, they would immediately be happy.It's really weird, weird.

Tang Luojin listened to Yan Qingsong's complaint, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she didn't bring it up, she just said: "The pictures of beauties in the palace are painted alone, but the pictures of beauties outside the palace have never been drawn. He glanced at the four companions, passed by Ning Junchi who was a lot taller than him, hummed in his heart, and said, "Gu Ke is waiting to come out of the palace, you take Gu to enjoy the flowers in the building Let's see if she is more beautiful than the maids in the palace."

Ning Junyu and the others immediately grimaced.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never shy away from others' faults of being playful, quarrelsome and beautiful. The Emperor somehow indulged the Crown Prince to play.It's just that it's hard for them companions, the emperor doesn't think it's wrong for the prince to play, but if they have gone to play, or lured the prince to play, then it must be their fault.

Ning Junchi vaguely understood in his heart that Tang Luojin was so playful, but it was not because he liked to play around by nature, but because he didn't want to be a perfect prince, which made Emperor Tianyuan jealous, and he didn't want to be "the reincarnation of Emperor Wu". The matter created a rift between the father and son, so that after learning the daily homework, they played around and admired the beauties, and they got involved in everything.

but--

If it is really about beauty, Ning Junchi looked at Tang Luojin, who was only seven years old, and thought in a daze, his little nephew has red lips and white teeth, straight eyebrows, and a little Guanyin mole on the center of his eyebrows, which makes him even more contrasted. Status is precious and inviolable.If he grows up, his little nephew will definitely be a beauty.

She is still an iceberg beauty who only has a handsome face every day.

Ning Junchi thought about Tang Luojin's grown-up appearance, hooked the corners of her lips, and smiled.

I just hope that this little nephew of him can laugh more when he grows up, that's the best.

Several people were thinking about their own things, but they chatted in full swing. After dinner, Tang Luojin and the others each drew a picture of a cat playing with a beauty. In the end, the competition was average, and they sat down to sleep.

Early the next morning, Tang Luojin planned not to go to morning class because she slept late last night.

Ze Lan and He Liu: "..." Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince has one more flaw?At first I just left early, but now I don’t even go to class.

The two tried a few more words of persuasion, but Tang Luojin still refused to get up.

Until Xu Youwei came, saying that he was ordered by the emperor to invite His Royal Highness to go to court.

Sleeping in a daze, Tang Luojin stared: "...Why did the father call the orphan to go to the court? Could it be that there are people in the court to visit the orphan? Usually, someone handed the booklet, but the father ignored it. Why did he call the orphan to go to the court today?" ?”

It is quite common for His Royal Highness to be involved.

Xu Youwei said honestly: "Back to Your Highness, the Crown Prince, today there is a censor, His Highness the Crown Prince, who disregarded the style of a gentleman and his status as a prince, and scolded the ministers' wives and daughters. Your Majesty, therefore, asks you to go up to the court to argue."

Tang Luojin: "...When did Gu scold them?"

Xu Youwei said: "The censor said that His Highness once reprimanded the ministers' wives and daughters, saying that footbinding is useless to please men, and it will increase the court's burden. It should not be. The emperor listened and proved that you really said these words , and then call the servants to invite you to court."

Tang Luojin: "..." I've seen someone cheat my father, but I haven't seen someone cheat my son.

Father, father, even if you want to ban footbinding, don't push your son to the forefront like this!

The author has something to say: Thank you little angels for your support~~ I won’t abuse Xiaoqi.

As for letting Xiao Qi attack the queen, it is basically impossible now. Around Xiao Qi, there are three giants who let him go. As soon as he makes a move, he will be discovered.Xiao Qi was placed with her aunt, and Ze Lan didn't let Zelan know from the beginning to the end. Xiao Qi has a special status, so she must be cautious in doing things and change the attack. The little angels can wait for Xiao Shou to grow up to see if Xiao Gong is suitable~ ~ He is actually quite good.
