Crossing the East Palace

Tang Luojin was a little early to worry about the establishment of the reserve.

No matter how much Emperor Tianyuan liked him, he would wait until he was one year old before announcing it.

After all, there were too many infant deaths at this time, and Emperor Tianyuan wanted to establish the position of crown prince early to discourage the rest of the princes. Putting his life on the line, and talking about other things, Emperor Tianyuan had no choice but to put this matter aside for now, and went to Qingning Palace in person, promising to send someone to Ningfu to pick up the three younger siblings of Queen Ning who stayed in Ningfu.

The queen wept with joy: "Your Majesty's words are true?"

In fact, Emperor Tianyuan still valued the Queen Ning very much. Hearing this, he took the Queen's hand and said with a smile, "When did I tell Zi Tong a lie? My father-in-law was born and died on the border for the Datang dynasty. Let us take care of it."

The empress nodded heavily, and then snuggled into Emperor Tianyuan's broad chest - although she is an empress, she is also a woman, so how could she not expect her husband's love and affection?

Emperor Tianyuan was not thinking much at the moment, and said again: "When Zitong's younger siblings come, they will live in the West Palace, and my seventh prince will live in the East Palace. I have already told the emperor's grandmother, and the emperor said, five A month ago, send Xiaoqi back. Zitong is here, but Xiaoqi has been cleaned up?"

The queen was taken aback.

Emperor Tianyuan said again: "The fourth princess died early, Xiaoqi is the first child of Zitong and I, I value Xiaoqi very much, Zitong should raise Xiaoqi well."

The queen lowered her eyes and said angrily: "Look at what the emperor said, it's as if Xiaoqi didn't crawl out of the belly of the concubine."

Emperor Tianyuan thought that Tang Luojin was gradually growing up, and that apart from his appearance, he looked like the Ning family, not at all like Xin Zhaoyi. He also said that he was suspicious, so he comforted him: "I believe in Zitong."

That night, the red candles were shining brightly, and there were countless joys.

The next day, after seeing off Emperor Tianyuan, the empress leaned on the imperial concubine's couch and said, "Call Yugu."

Wujuan, who was waiting on the sidelines, was taken aback for a moment, then immediately bowed his knees and went out to call someone.

Although she is the queen's maid of honor, she is not very smart, she is obedient and loyal.Although she didn't know why the queen left Aunt Yu in the cold before, nor why the queen called Aunt Yu now, but this did not prevent her from quickly calling Aunt Yu over.

Aunt Yu had been chilled by the queen for several days, and she said happily after hearing the words: "Your Majesty really asked me to serve you?"

Wujuan said honestly: "I only heard from my mother that I want to call you over. I don't know about the other things."

This was enough for my aunt to be happy, so she immediately took off an opal ring from her hand, put it on Wujumaki's hand by force, and said, "Then I should also thank you for coming to find me in person."

Wujuan couldn't evade it, so he had to accept it.

Aunt Yu's clothes were neat and tidy, and she immediately followed the fog to the queen's place.

The queen was drinking from a bowl of medicine.

She gave birth in July, and got out of bed after giving birth, bit her finger and wrote a blood book, and besides planning hard, she also missed the fifth princess... Under all these circumstances, how could the queen's body be safe?At the moment, I have to take good care of myself.

Aunt Yu knelt down when she entered the door.

The queen ignored her, just drank the medicine, rinsed her mouth, and the people from the House of Internal Affairs came in and out to ask questions, and at noon, the people from the House of Internal Affairs left cleanly.

The queen drank a cup of tea from Wujuan, glanced at Aunt Yu who was still kneeling on the ground, and then gave Wujuan an angry look: "You girl, you should hit me. If I didn't drink this Pu'er tea, I thought Aunt Yu makes the best Pu'er in the palace, how can I see that Aunt Yu is still kneeling. Why didn't Wujuan remind me?"

Wu Juan stretched out his right hand, slapped his face lightly, and said with an apologetic smile: "Your maidservant has been beaten, may your empress forgive this maidservant?"

The queen stretched out a finger, pointed at her out of thin air, smiled for a while, and then turned to look at Aunt Yu: "Quickly get Aunt Yu an embroidered stool and sit on it."

Aunt Yu hurriedly said, "I don't dare."

The queen waved her hand, and Wujuan ordered the little maid to bring up the embroidered stool, and asked the little maid to sit on it numbly with her already kneeling legs.

Then the queen waved away the surrounding servants, the door was wide open, but the palace servants were all standing outside the door.

Aunt Yu hurriedly pulled herself together.

The queen drank tea in a leisurely manner.

After drinking all the tea in her hand, the queen said: "Auntie came back in the past few days, but I didn't let my aunt come to serve me. Is it my aunt's fault?"

Aunt Yu immediately got up and knelt down again: "This servant is terrified. The fact that this servant came out of Changle Palace alive is due to the blessing of the empress and the Ning family. Now it is too late for this servant to thank you, so how dare you blame her? "

After all, Aunt Yu reassured herself when she saw that the queen was silent, and said, "Although I was not tortured for a month, I was only imprisoned by the empress dowager in a narrow palace, but there was only one small girl in that palace." The window only delivers two meals a day to the servants. How honorable is the servant beside the empress? At that time, he had to carry the chamber pot by himself and send the chamber pot out of the window, and was insulted and scolded by the little maid and eunuch. Where have you ever suffered such grievances before? Heaven is sorry to see that the only ones who are loyal to you are the empress and the little princess."

Aunt Yu gave another big gift.

The queen then smiled and said: "Get up, aunt. My aunt is from my palace. My parents and brothers are all on duty in the Ning Mansion. How can I doubt my aunt's loyalty to me? It's just that the empress dowager deliberately separated you and my master and servant. Although Gong is the empress, she is only the grand-daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager, knowing that it is not your fault, but she has no choice but to stay away from you. Aunt Yu, have you ever blamed me for this?"

Aunt Yu was naturally terrified, she hurriedly said that she didn't dare not.

The queen laughed immediately, got up from the couch herself, and helped Aunt Yu up.

Aunt Yu became more and more frightened.

The queen sighed slightly, and said: "Only you and my master and servant know about the night when the little princess was born. Needless to say, Liu Pan and the others have been working as sweeping maids in the courtyard of the palace since they were five years old. Since the age of 12, I have served Bengong personally. Bengong has never doubted them. Although my aunt did not grow up with Bengong, she was also sent to Bengong by my mother when I was [-] years old, and has been with me for more than ten years. Old man. Bengong is in trouble now. Originally, I just hoped for a few. Unfortunately, they are young after all, only my aunt. I have learned many skills in the past, which makes me value more. But I don’t know my aunt, would you like to help me again? once?"

Aunt Yu is a servant of the Ning family, just as the queen said, her parents and brothers are all in the Ning family.How dare she disobey the queen's orders?

Immediately knelt down again: "Your Majesty, you can tell me what you want."

Only then did the empress reveal her plan: "The Seventh Prince will come to live in Qingning Palace in these two days. I will see, and only by sending you to serve the Seventh Prince can I feel at ease."

Aunt Yu felt a little dizzy at the moment.

What is the identity of the Seventh Prince? If others don't know, how could she not know?The empress ordered her to go to the seventh prince's side, saying that she was "serving", but in fact, apart from monitoring, she was looking for an opportunity to kill the seventh prince completely, so that the seventh prince would die early, so as not to hinder the empress' future real son's path?

As for the prince's early death, no matter what the truth is, the close servants like them have no way out.The queen asked her to go to the seventh prince's side... In the final analysis, she still refused to believe her.Not only did she refuse to believe her, but the queen wanted her to die, so she completely shut up, and could no longer tell what happened on the night of March 26.

"Auntie, don't worry, the emperor has some doubts about the fact that the seventh prince and the fifth princess were born on the same day. I will not let you do anything in the near future. Of course, if my aunt can do it while protecting yourself, I will not say anything. , will send you out of the palace safely, and make you go back to Ningfu to marry and have a son, and the house will be full of children and grandchildren, what does aunt think?"

Aunt Yu knew that the possibility of her having children and grandchildren in the future was very slim, but at this moment she could only kneel down and thank the queen.

To be a slave and maidservant is a low life.Where does she have a chance to choose?

At noon on April [-]th, the queen's younger brother and two younger sisters who stayed in Beijing entered Qingning Palace.

Ning Yue'er is the concubine daughter of the Ning family, sixteen years old, slender, delicate and timid, her eyes turn red when she sees the queen, she is so pitiful.

The queen didn't even look at Ning Yue'er.What she cares more about is a pair of siblings who were born on the same day.

"Second sister!"

"Second sister!"

Ning Zhener and Ning Junyu have the same father and mother as the queen, and they are only four years old now. When they first entered the palace, they were a little scared. When they saw the queen looking at them with concern, they couldn't help but look at them. The queen rushed over.

The queen hugged the two of them, tears streaming down her face.

"Second sister, Zhen'er is so scared. No one in the family can go out, my aunt cries every day, and the servants in the house cry too."

"Second sister, Yu'er is also afraid. But Yu'er didn't cry, Yu'er only thought about elder brother, second elder brother, third elder brother and father. Why didn't they go home? Third elder brother told Yu'er before leaving. Come back, why is it that April is almost over now, and the third brother hasn't come back yet?"

For a moment, the queen didn't know how to answer.Her third brother disappeared after leaving the barracks.And he disappeared for two months.Life or death is unknown.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the Fourth Young Master, the Third Young Lady, and the Fourth Young Lady wash up and have some snacks." Liu Pan reminded implicitly, "Then the slaves will take the young masters and young ladies to Changle Palace, Shou'an Palace and the palace masters. Go see me there."

Only then did the empress stop her tears, and upon hearing the words, she could only instruct a few people in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are naturally charitable, you go, just kneel and worship. As for the lords of the palaces... go to Xiang Guifei, Qin Shufei, Just go and have a look at Concubine Jiang De. The rest are not worthy of your visit."

As soon as Ning Zhen'er was about to answer, Ning Junyu said, "Second sister, what about Xin Zhaoyi? My cousin gave birth to a little princess, so we should go and see."

And they brought presents too.

The queen was startled, and then said softly: "That's right. The fifth princess is very cute, you should love her."

Ning Junyu nodded solemnly: "Second sister, don't worry, we will definitely love her, only a little less than our little nephew."

Ning Zhen'er also said: "That's right. The fourth brother is right. We will love the little nephew more. By the way, the second sister, where is the little nephew? Why don't you see him?"

The queen's expression was very complicated, and she was about to make the two of them love the fifth princess more, when she heard that Aunt An from Changle Palace sent the seventh prince back.

In addition to the Seventh Prince who was sleeping soundly, the Empress Dowager also sent two wet nurses, two maids, and a warehouse full of things.
