Queen's Road in the Red House

The emperor didn't immediately deal with the people around the sixth prince, he looked at Xin Hongcheng scrutinizingly: "Cheng'er, you have never cared about this younger brother before, why did you ask for leave from the study today to find him?"

Xin Hongcheng knew his father's temper.

He is suspicious of anyone, even himself.

It would be strange for an emperor to be unsuspecting.

So Xin Hongcheng didn't tell any lies at all, and said bluntly: "At first, everyone in the palace ignored the sixth brother. My son thought that in this way, the sixth brother could live a better life. I will go to see him at that time, and maybe in the eyes of someone who cares It hurt him. But today, the two mothers and concubines made a fuss about the medicine of the sixth brother, and the father was also angry about it, so the son had to go to see the sixth brother."

The emperor's expression was a bit complicated, and he looked at Xin Hongcheng for a while before saying: "You are more courageous than the sky, you dare to talk about my harem in front of me!"

Xin Hongcheng knelt on his knees: "My son will not dare in the future."

The emperor almost made him laugh angrily: "You don't dare, why don't you dare?"

After finishing speaking, she pinched her brows: "I don't know any of them, so I don't worry. If your mother is still here... In the end, it's useless to be a queen!"

Eunuch Qin and Xin Hongcheng both felt the same emotion: it started again.

The emperor's tone was not lacking in exhaustion: "Okay, go back to your studies, I will tell the queen about this again."

Xin Hongcheng stopped talking several times, then lowered his head.

The emperor saw it, raised his jaw and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

If Wang Zhong was here, he would find that Xin Hongcheng was very similar to the emperor in many small movements, such as this movement of raising his jaw to signal people to hurry up.

When Xin Hongcheng faced the emperor, he was always nine points sincere and one point restrained.

"Father, have you ever heard some rumors that the sixth younger brother was born mentally retarded because the mother deliberately made things difficult for her concubine? She even wanted to keep the son and leave the mother."

The emperor raised his eyebrows.

Xin Hongcheng knew that the emperor had not only heard about it, but had even thought about it in his heart.

Xin Hongcheng sighed: "So the sixth brother's life is miserable, so the emperor should not blame the mother. Rumors kill people invisible, and the mother has nothing to do. For example, today's mint sachet, the father felt that the mother was negligent, so he never checked the prescription of the sixth brother. , but if the queen mother really went to see the medicine that the sixth brother drank every day, it would not be known what it would look like if it was spread out. In the future, if the sixth brother has a headache, it will definitely be blamed on the queen mother..."

It's like a stepmother raising a child. If she is strict, she will be poked in the back.

The emperor's eyes were heavy: "Kneel down."

Xin Hongcheng knelt down: "My son knows his mistake, he shouldn't talk about his father's decision, and he shouldn't talk too much about the harem."

The emperor said coldly: "Wrong? You don't know where you are wrong."

"Cheng'er, you are growing up too, and you will marry a wife and have children soon. I will tell you today what is wrong with you."

There was indifference in the emperor's voice unconsciously, it was a kind of indifference that was used to being a superior and thus did not care about other people's grievances and sufferings.

"The first wife of the royal family must be tolerant. Back then, the queen didn't take good care of her, which caused Xiao Liu to be born as a mentally incompetent idiot. Being bullied by a slave. Everything is her fault."

"You think the empress is in a dilemma, but who in the world is not difficult to do? Even if I am an emperor, there are the Supreme Emperor and the subordinates. It is difficult. Isn't it a dilemma? Is it not difficult to spread your hands?"

"Since she has become the queen, she has to take on this responsibility."

"Yes, you're justified in defending her: she doesn't care if Xiao Liu is wrong, it's also wrong to care about making people suspicious. But when she becomes a queen, she should find the right way out of countless mistakes! Isn't it true? Do you want me to pave the way for her to go? Then what do I want this queen to do?"

Xin Hongcheng was speechless.

The emperor walked over and put his hands on the shoulders of his kneeling son, his tone finally brought some gentleness and even sadness of a father.

"Cheng'er, I know that you are a child who attaches great importance to feelings. You want to protect the queen and your younger brothers. But everyone has their own destiny. You should put your mind on the business."

Xin Hongcheng thought to himself: Everyone has his own destiny?What you said seems to be the lives of strangers, let them struggle and lose, but they are clearly your wife, your flesh and blood.

But Xin Hongcheng knew that he could not ask, nor was he worthy of asking.Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.So he lowered his head: "Yes."

The emperor stretched out his hand: "Get up."

Xin Hongcheng supported his father's hand to stand up, and the emperor naturally patted the hem of his clothes for him, which was no different from what his father did when he fell down while learning how to ride and shoot.

Xin Hongcheng silently: No matter how ruthless the emperor is to others, he is really kind to his son.

"What are your own plans regarding your marriage?"

Xin Hongcheng's heart skipped a beat, and a silhouette of Xia Ying's gauze suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.However, thinking about the hardships of life in the palace, Xin Hongcheng shook his head: "Father, I'm really not in a hurry. You see, there are three older brothers above me..."

The brothers who usually look at each other and hate each other are now a shield for saving lives.

The emperor suddenly showed a smile: "Your elder brother's marriage has been decided. It was the imperial concubine who begged me, and the marriage was her own niece, the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Zhou family. The marriage of the second child was chosen by your emperor's father himself. As for your third elder brother, he has been weak all year round. Concubine Kang asked me not to ask for a girl's background, talent and appearance, but for a gentle and submissive temperament. She has already taken a fancy to girls from two or three families, and she is only waiting Empress Xuan came to the palace to choose one in person."

Xin Hongcheng: ...

The emperor picked up the tea: "Now you are left."

Xin Hongcheng couldn't help muttering: "It's only one day in the mountains, but it's been a thousand years in the world, when did I miss these..."

The emperor put down his tea, put away his smile, and frowned slightly: "Cheng'er, what do you think about the marriage of your three elder brothers?"

Xin Hongcheng raised his head and smiled, still looking like a vigorous and bright young man: "The emperor's grandfather values ​​the second brother."

The emperor's expression softened.Fortunately, this son is not stupid.

Xin Hongcheng thought for a while: "The old lady of the Zhen family used to take care of the imperial grandfather. I remember that on her [-]th birthday a few years ago, the imperial grandfather specially sent two imperial guards and officials from the Ministry of Rites to give birthday gifts. The whole Jiangnan knows about this The face of the old lady of the Zhen family."

In addition to the old lady of the Zhen family, there is also Concubine Zhen Gui in the palace, who is the concubine who has accompanied the Supreme Emperor for many years, and has also given birth to a prince.

As a result, the Zhen family became more powerful, and there was a faint nickname of "King of Jiangnan" in Jiangnan.

When Xin Hongcheng's mind was spinning, his fingers subconsciously circled the webbing of his purse.

The Supreme Emperor bestowed the daughter of the Zhen family in marriage to the Second Prince, probably because the Second Prince begged from Concubine Ming.

Xin Hongcheng couldn't figure it out: Is my second brother broken?The last time I bypassed the emperor and directly complained to the Supreme Emperor, the emperor was already very dissatisfied.

Now she is even more flattering to the Supreme Emperor, and even asked the Supreme Emperor to decide the marriage, and married the daughter of the Supreme Emperor's confidant's mansion.

No wonder this morning, the emperor not only turned out to be the queen, but also turned out the two concubines, which changed from the previous lenient and trustworthy concubine Ming.There is no mention of resuming her right to assist the Sixth Palace.

Probably annoyed by this.

Presumably, the dissatisfaction with Concubine Ming's mother and child is greater than that of the Empress, but it is hindered by the Supreme Emperor Xingxing who wants to point out the marriage, seeing that he wants to promote the second prince, so the emperor can't openly strip the face of Ming Concubine and the second prince, but he must give it to both of them in his heart. The person wrote down a sum of ruthlessly.

Xin Hongcheng was puzzled: Is this second brother crazy?The imperial grandfather is old, once he dies, the Zhen family and the Jia family will be taken over by the same time.Why bother to look far away, letting the emperor's own father not please him, and instead go to please the Supreme Emperor.

Just like Rongguo Mansion, it can have a few years of good days... a few years!

Xin Hongcheng was shocked.

It was his own mistake.

That's right, only people like them who have come from the future in this world know that the days when the Supreme Emperor is in power are only a few years away.

Although it is not clearly stated in the book, it is not known whether the Supreme Emperor died of sudden illness or other reasons, but three or four years later, the fact that the trees in the Rongguo Mansion fell and the monkeys scattered were clear evidence of the collapse of the Supreme Emperor's power.

Yes, he knows what will happen in the future, but the emperor doesn't know, the concubine Ming and her son don't know!

After all, the Taishanghuang is still in good health, eats well and sleeps soundly, can mount a horse and hunt by himself, and walks like a dragon and a tiger in his actions. He looks more energetic than the emperor's son.

And the Supreme Emperor himself is an iron-fisted emperor, and he has not relaxed his control over the government so far.

No wonder the concubine Ming and her son put the treasure on the Supreme Emperor.

Seeing the change in his son's expression, the emperor thought he was in a hurry, so he comforted him: "Cheng'er, don't worry, father and emperor will definitely choose a capable princess from a noble mother's family for you."

Only then did Xin Hongcheng wake up from his contemplation, and quickly expressed his refusal.

The emperor saw the sincerity of his refusal, frowned and asked directly: "Are you thinking about that little girl from the Lin family?"

A layer of red suddenly flooded Xin Hongcheng's face, and he bit the tip of his tongue before returning to normal: "Father, son..."

The emperor sighed: "Your mother and I are a married couple with deep affection. I naturally hope that you can marry the person you like. It's just Cheng'er, now is not the time for you to be willful. However, if you like it, I see The little girl from the Lin family is also an outstanding child, she is still young anyway, so she will be your side concubine in a few years."

Xin Hongcheng was stunned: "Side concubine? How can Miss Lin be a side concubine?"

The emperor said indifferently: "When Prince Yizhong was not abolished as the crown prince that day, the side concubine also had the daughter of a great official in the frontier. There is a precedent, so it is not too much."

Eunuch Qin couldn't help shivering beside him.

The emperor almost clarified the meaning of Li Chu, comparing Xin Hongcheng's concubines with the specifications of the prince.

Xin Hongcheng suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart: "Father loves so much, and my son is deeply moved."

He calmly took two deep breaths: "But about Miss Lin, my father misunderstood." He looked at the emperor: "I pretended to be a little eunuch that day, but because I heard from the third sister that Miss Lin was born It looks good. I also thought that Mr. Lin was a well-known Tanhua Lang in the capital, so he did such absurd behavior on a whim. My father taught me a lesson, and I knew I was wrong a long time ago."

"What's more, before I had a good look at Miss Lin's face that day, my father arrived - I have never seen her before, so naturally I can't talk about what I like."

Xin Hongcheng felt shivering for a while, but there was still a sincere smile on his face: "So my father really misunderstood. Besides, Mr. Lin gave all his family wealth to his father during his lifetime. You can see that he has solved your urgent needs. You shouldn't just point Miss Lin to your son."

The emperor frowned: "I've seen it myself, that little girl is really outstanding. To be honest, I feel a little wronged to be your side concubine, but I'm partial to you. Why do you avoid it like a snake and a scorpion?"

Seeing Xin Hongcheng shaking his head like a rattle, the emperor couldn't help but smile: "Well, even if you like it, I still have a headache to convince your grandfather that besides the main concubine, I will add such a well-born side concubine to you. Since You didn't mean it, but you saved my effort."

Xin Hongcheng only felt that the tip of his tongue was bitter, and he still smiled on his face, and joked as usual: "It can be seen that the son is filial and does not cause trouble to the father."

The emperor waved his hand: "I've wasted a lot of time, you can go back to the study. I have my own plans for Xiao Liu's matter, no matter what, he is also my own son, and he cannot be tortured to death by the slave."

Xin Hongcheng didn't even know how he stood outside, he just felt that the sun was shining white, piercing his eyes sorely.

When people really find that they care, it is often not when they get it, but when they have to lose it.

Fan Yunyi stepped forward to help him: "I heard about your feat, so I deliberately slipped out to wait for you - you look so ugly that you have seen a ghost, the emperor punished you?"

Xin Hongcheng shook his head awkwardly, unable to speak.

Inside the house, the emperor picked up a vermilion pen and drew a picture on a booklet.

Above is the roster of women of the right age in the families of noble officials.It is said to be a list of women, but in fact it is densely packed with the official positions of father, brother and relatives. Women are just a vague bridge.

After the emperor crossed out a few names, the pen stopped.

"Cheng'er, it doesn't seem right to tell a lie."

Eunuch Qin rubbed his ink with his head down, not daring to speak.

The emperor hung the ink pen in the air: "My marriage back then was probably decided by the ink pen like my father."

Such a random stroke was destined for his first wife, the Zhong family whom he mourned till now, but also for the Yang family who was out of tune with him and the husband and wife had nothing to say to each other.

Eunuch Qin lowered his head even lower: "The emperor is wise and mighty, and he will definitely be able to choose a concubine for his Highnesses."

The emperor showed a trace of disappointment: "I can see that what he said just now is not the truth. But Lin's daughter is really not suitable to be his concubine. The Zhen family is united in the south of the Yangtze River, and the four major families cover the sky with one hand in Jinling. Scheduling, they are instructing like arms, and a single sentence will be more effective than my words."

"Cheng'er's concubine, the mother's family must have real power and use it."

Eunuch Qin cautiously said: "Your Highness understands the painstaking efforts of the emperor, and is more considerate of the difficulties of the emperor. Didn't your highness just mean that everything is up to the emperor?"

Zhu Bi crossed out two families again.

The emperor returned to his normal expression: "The Empress Dowager's birthday is after the Mid-Autumn Festival. You have to keep an eye on the House of Internal Affairs, and you must do it in a decent manner."

--

Although Concubine Zhen Gui is over fifty years old, she has been well maintained. From a distance, she is still a beautiful woman in her thirties.Only when you get close can you see the fine lines at the corners of your eyes.

She smiled kindly at Concubine Ming: "This mutton fat jade bergamot is as delicate as jelly fat. Although there are several in this palace, they are not as good as this."

Concubine Ming said humbly: "The empress likes it, it means the filial piety of the concubine has arrived."

Concubine Zhen Gui ordered the palace maid to accept it: "You are too polite, the second prince is a good boy, but if I promise him, I am very satisfied."

Zhen Ran, the second daughter of Zhen's family, according to seniority, is the grandniece of Concubine Zhen Gui.

Concubine Ming smiled and flattered her a few more words before leaving.

After leaving the door, Qianyun couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the Second Highness is a prince, and it would be a great blessing for any girl to promise him! What Concubine Zhen Gui said just now meant more than what we said His Highness the Second Highness, she is satisfied with the marriage, and it seems that the marriage will come true! Besides, this Zhen Gu Niang is not the eldest daughter of the first wife, but only the second daughter of the first wife..."

Concubine Ming's face was as usual, but there was also a chill in her eyes, she held Qianyun's hand: "Needless to say."

The Zhen family still needs it now, so what if she gets angry once.

She calmed down: "The little Fuzi who sweeps the Mingzheng Palace, it's time to use him. You ask him to carefully inquire about the emperor's plans for the fourth prince's marriage."

Qianyun was stunned: "Madam, Xiao Fuzi is the thread we have buried for a long time. It has been started from the palace, so no one doubts it. Is it really going to be used on the Fourth Highness?"

Such chess pieces are extremely precious.

But once it is enabled, it is equivalent to being useless, and it must be eradicated.Otherwise, it would be bad if he was charged with spying on the emperor's trace.

Concubine Ming said resolutely: "It's time to use it."
