Crossing the East Palace

The fourth prince and the third princess are twins.

Dragon and phoenix twins, no matter when they are, are auspicious omens, and they are existences that make many people envious and happy.

It is said that when the fourth prince and the third princess were born and washed three times, the empress dowager, empress dowager and Emperor Tianyuan all went there in person, and all of them gave great gifts.

Obviously, even people as sensible as the Empress Dowager would inevitably like this auspicious omen more in their hearts.

Unfortunately, the joy of the dragon and phoenix twins did not last long.

The family of Mei Jieyu, the biological mother of the fourth prince and the third princess, was confiscated because of a big mistake. She pretended to commit suicide and tricked Emperor Tianyuan into coming to see her, and then interceded for her family.

What kind of person is Emperor Tianyuan?

He could bear it once or twice, and the number of times was too many, so he directly imprisoned Mei Jieyu in his own palace.Mei Jieyu had no choice but to do something stupid, causing a low-ranking concubine who was pregnant at that time to have a miscarriage.As a result, before Emperor Tianyuan dealt with her, she was frightened and died.

Because Mei's family was ransacked, Mei Jieyu committed the crime of murdering the emperor's heir again, and became a criminal concubine.Therefore, Mei Jieyu had just died at that time, and when Emperor Tianyuan asked all the concubines who was willing to raise the fourth prince and third princess, no one spoke at all except Ruan Jieyu, who had just lost her son.

The mother clan was exiled by criminal officials who ransacked their homes, and the biological mother was a criminal concubine. With such shortcomings, what if they are princes or princesses?It's not as good as those princes and princesses whose biological mothers are ordinary people.

Even if the third princess is okay, she is a princess after all, and she has a beautiful appearance, gentle and charming, and she can put down her figure, knowing how to please others.Therefore, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Tianyuan didn't really hate her.When choosing her son-in-law two years ago, he personally asked her what she thought, and betrothed her to a noble family with neither high nor low background.

Although at that time, the Empress Dowager frowned, thinking that in the capacity of the third princess, such a low marriage was a bit too demeaning.But the third princess insisted that Emperor Tianyuan had nothing to do, and this marriage was settled just like that.

The marriage of the three princesses is still easy to talk about, the Queen Mother and Emperor Tianyuan are willing to ask her a question.But when it comes to the fourth prince's marriage, the two don't have such a good temper.

The mother clan of the fourth prince is a stain after all.Even if no one took the initiative to bring it up, but among the current princes, in terms of status, the fourth prince whose mother's family was confiscated, whose biological mother was a criminal concubine, whose adoptive mother had not been recruited for more than ten years, and whose adoptive mother's family was a commoner, is obviously the fourth prince. The most humble one.

The Fourth Prince is extremely sensitive.These things, even if others don't mention them, the fourth prince can still feel that although those people don't mention them, they think so in their hearts, and feel that their status is humble.If it wasn't for his adoptive mother Concubine Rong really liking him and the third princess, it is still unknown what he will look like now.

For such a sensitive fourth prince, how could Tang Luojin, who became the prince as a "concubine", not make him feel jealous?

Just because Tang Luojin was able to reincarnate into the belly of the queen, it determined their future status, which was very different.

Just because he was reincarnated in Mei Jieyu's womb, it was determined that no matter what achievements he made in his life, he would be inferior to the queen's son?

The fourth prince used to be jealous from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't dare to do anything.

What can be done?

Tang Luojin, his seventh brother, was indeed better at reincarnation than him.

Indeed, he was reincarnated as the son of the Empress Zhonggong.

Since Tang Luojin had this luck, no matter how jealous the fourth prince was, he also recognized it.

But, look, what did he discover now?

A prince is not a prince.

The so-called son of the middle palace is just a trick of exchanging a civet cat for the prince.

What a noble concubine Xin, what a Shen family!

He said, why did Concubine Xin, who was still Xin Zhaoyi at the beginning, have a big belly foolishly and accompany the empress who was grounded at that time?At that time, Xin Zhaoyi, how could she be stupid?It was simply calculated, deliberately taking advantage of the fact that there were very few people in the Qingning Palace during the confinement, so that the two gave birth prematurely at the same time, and exchanged the son she gave birth to the queen.From then on, the queen's daughter became a concubine, while Xin Zhaoyi's son became the true prince.

Even because of this status as a "legal descendant", Xin Zhaoyi's son climbed up to the position of prince step by step.

And Xin Zhaoyi herself climbed to the position of noble concubine step by step.

Thinking about the Shen family now...

Ah!

The fourth prince couldn't help but sweep the teapot and teacups on the table to the ground with his arms!

With a "bang", all the teapots and cups shattered to the ground.

What a stealing phoenix to turn a dragon, what a fraudulent one, Xin Guifei and the Shen family, what a good way!

If Tang Luojin was really a prince from the first line, or a prince from a concubine like him, but because of other incidents, he was designated as the prince by his father, the fourth prince would not say anything.But now, he knew that Tang Luojin ascended to the position of prince because of the deliberate calculation of "some people".

How could the Fourth Prince not be resentful?

How could it be him?How could it be him?

If you talk about the descendant, it should be... the twelve emperor's younger brother.

However, the Twelve Emperor Brothers are still so young, naive and childish.If it hadn't been for the fact that the twelfth emperor brother was so angry a few days ago, crying and saying that he had slipped his mouth, and spent a lot of effort to investigate, how could he have found out these palace secrets and the matter of exchanging sons?

Although the twelve imperial brothers were innocently robbed of the eldest son's position.But...the Twelfth Prince is really too young and naive, how can he afford the position of prince?

Needless to say, eldest brother, since he has gone to Buddhism, he will never return; the second prince was born in a noble family, but he and Concubine Jiang De have never been favored by his father, and the second prince himself is too sharp to be suitable. To be the crown prince, but he is a good candidate for the target; the third brother is born of Jiang Meiren, who is weak and timid, and raised the third brother to be weak and timid. He only dares to say that he likes calligraphy and painting, and dislikes government affairs, and the prince is married. Then he can listen to the government in the early morning. Brother Sanhuang is cowardly and cowardly, and he dare not even do this, so how can he become a master?

As for the remaining emperor brothers, only the ninth emperor brother can take a look.

But although the clan of the Nine Emperor Brothers and mothers is powerful, Xiao He is also defeated by Xiao He. Because the clan of the Nine Emperors Brothers and mothers is too powerful, the Nine Emperors Brothers are smart and eager to learn, but they also rely on and trust the mother clan.As a crown prince, it may not be a good thing to value his mother's family so much.

After eliminating them one by one, the Fourth Prince's chest throbbed violently.

Even if his mother's family was ransacked, so what?The real Twelve Princes are too young, and the Second and Third Princes are not suitable for that position.Looking further down, several emperor brothers are not suitable either.

except him.

The fourth prince's ambition, which was suppressed by Concubine Rong with great difficulty, was ready to move again.

Don't be in a hurry.

There must be no rush.

In front of him, there is the second prince blocking, and behind him, there are the ninth prince and the twelfth prince.

In any case, he can't be in a hurry.

The fourth prince clenched his fists tightly.

He has learned these four words since he was a child.When he is not strong enough to fight the enemy he wants to defeat, let the enemy of the enemy take action and defeat their common enemy for him.

The fourth prince thought of the twelfth prince who innocently leaked his words, and then thought of what he had found out, and once again said to himself in his heart, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry.

In fact, even if the fourth prince wants to be anxious, it is impossible.

Not only is it useless for the fourth prince to be anxious, but it is also useless for the twelve princes to be anxious.

Although they knew well that Tang Luojin was not the queen's direct descendant.

But the big question is, what about the evidence?

Where is the evidence that Tang Luojin is not a descendant?

Let's look at appearance first, Tang Luojin is not like Concubine Xin, but like a Queen.The three of them stood together, no one would think that Tang Luojin was the son of Concubine Xin.

Argue the witness again.

In Qingning Palace that day, apart from the Queen and Concubine Xin, there were still five servants serving the Queen and two servants serving Concubine Xin.

Needless to say, the two palace servants serving Concubine Xin, no matter whether it was the empress or Concubine Xin who made the move, the matter has now become settled, and Tang Luojin has already taken the position of crown prince. If you are a human being, you will definitely not admit this matter, making it difficult for the Shen family and the prince.

And the five palace people around the queen...

A aunt, Yu, died of a fire in Fujian. Two court ladies were originally sent by the empress to serve the sixth and seventh princesses. After the incident of poisoning at the Queen's banquet that year, Emperor Tianyuan ordered him to die by Ling Chi.

Although there are still parties involved now, among these few people, except for the queen, who would admit the matter of changing sons back then?

Talking about the evidence, the old doctor in the palace has said about the blood test, it is not too feasible.Because of this method among the people, many unjust cases occurred, and many women were directly hanged outside the court because they were wronged.Nowadays, many people don't think this method is appropriate.

Arguing about witnesses, witnesses are nowhere to be found; about evidence, evidence is nowhere to be found.

Only one side of the queen's words...

The fourth prince thought through this, and looked at the servant who was kneeling on the ground wiping the floor, his heart trembled.

Really, apart from the indirect sources and indirect witnesses he found, there is really only one side of the Queen's story.

The fourth prince's eyes became more and more hesitant.But after hesitating, he was firm.

The winner is king and the loser is bandit.In any case, whether this matter is true or not, in the end, the fact that Tang Luojin is not the Queen's biological son will become true.

What the fourth prince plans here, the twelfth prince doesn't fully know.

However, although the twelfth prince couldn't guess his fourth brother's plan, he still clearly remembered that he was a real virtuous king back then, and he was extremely respected and trusted by Tang Luojin.As a person who is reused and trusted, it is obvious that he is not lacking in scheming and ability.

The Twelve Princes are now too young because they are too young, and they also know that there will be no changes in their father's place, and his father still can't wait for him to grow up.In this way, it is impossible for him to do anything on his own.He can only think of a way to bring disaster to the east.

but--

Before that, he had to do one more thing.

"Brother Four, now there is only one son." Standing in front of the queen, the Twelfth Prince said slowly, "This son will die in a few months. If the son remembers correctly, Brother Fourth needs two sons." Years later, there will be a next son."

The queen didn't understand what she meant: "So—"

"Mother, the son is afraid, the son can wait, but the father can't wait. If you really can't wait... the third uncle only cares about that person in his heart, then we can only take the next best thing and let the fourth brother sit for a while That seat."

The queen slapped the table suddenly: "Absurd! He deserves it too?"

The twelve princes said: "Did the queen forget what my son said? If it wasn't him, would Tang Luojin still be allowed to sit in that position? If Tang Luojin sat in that position, he would be only 12 years older than me, and he would never stand up I am the emperor's younger brother." He mocked slightly, "For example, in the previous life, the fourth uncle tried his best to let me be the emperor's younger brother. But he didn't allow it, and he was only willing to make a little palace girl's baby as the emperor. Brother."

The Queen's face suddenly became ugly.

"But the fourth prince is in his prime, and he will have his own son in the future..." The queen said a few words, and immediately realized that the son was hinting at her, asking her to take action, cutting off the chance of the fourth prince to have any more children in the future, " The mother will do this matter later. No matter how smart the fourth prince is, he is still just a young man. He doesn't know much about the secret affairs of the concubine's room in the back house. Chance."

The twelve princes knew that although their mother and queen were imprisoned in the Qingning Palace, they could not easily see outsiders.However, it was only "easy". In order to save face for the crown prince, the father took great pains, and even let outsiders come to see the queen mother on the first and fifteenth day of every month.Since the queen mother said that there is a way, he naturally believed it.

Tang Luojin didn't know anything about Chang'an City.

He is now reading the military training and war letters written by Ning Junyuan - of course, the transcripts - but it is also very precious to Tang Luojin.

After reading the letter, Tang Luojin was about to get up to see how the construction of the city was going, when Chang Qu came to report and Lord Xin Guo came.

Tang Luojin nodded expressionlessly, and Changqu invited Ning Junchi in.

In the past, when Tang Luojin was still young, Ning Junchi could use his status as uncle to enter and leave the East Palace at will.But now, he can only stay outside, waiting for someone to report first.

Before Ning Junchi could finish thinking about the emotion in his heart, Chang Qu invited him in.

"Uncle." Tang Luojin called out first.It is a courtesy and a reminder.

Ning Junchi laughed when he heard the words.

However, as usual, he sat beside Tang Luojin, not across from him.

"What are you looking at? Second brother's letter?" Ning Junchi said, "Now that the war is over, you and I have nothing to do, why don't you lead troops separately and have a battle game? It's just that uncle has never been on the battlefield to lead soldiers, and we have to Xiaoqi should be merciful."

Tang Luojin had actually led soldiers to fight, and she didn't want to "bully" Ning Junchi who had never led soldiers.But seeing Ning Junchi's gaze from the side, he nodded inexplicably.

Come on, let's go, idle around is also idle, and there is nothing that can't be done.
