The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

In the palace, when Xiao Rong learned about the situation in Yangzhou and the news of Daiyu's well being, the big stone in his heart finally fell. His body also became better and better.

Concubine Feng was confinement, and when she had time, she brought the little princess Yu Ning to Changle Palace to accompany Xiao Rong. Xiao Rong had two grandchildren, so he naturally loved this only granddaughter very much, and this granddaughter was still soft Xiao Rong couldn't put it down because of her pink tenderness. She couldn't leave her for a moment.

Concubine Wu's illness was getting better day by day because she had the eldest son of the emperor, and considering the matter of Yangzhou, she did not hold a canonization ceremony. Her generosity was highly appreciated by the queen and Xiao Rong.But Xiao Rong didn't treat her badly, he insisted on taking a few decent treasures from his small treasury, and bestowed them along with the canonized imperial decree.

All the bad things seemed to disappear slowly, and the days were peaceful.Often grandparents and grandchildren sit in the flower viewing pavilion for a whole day.

Xiao Rong hugged Yu Ning, who was just full-term, and smiled happily.Thinking about the few days when I was sick, this child was born so quietly, it can be said to be the most worry-free child.

"Little Yuning looks like Concubine Feng, she's pretty."

Concubine Feng smiled lightly, clutching her handkerchief, "I heard that children are different every day."

"Even if it's different every day, it's just a change between you and the emperor. Both of you are good-looking. This child will also be a beautiful princess in the future." Thinking of Xiao Yuning growing up into a proud girl Princess, Xiao Rong felt excited in his heart.Every woman has a princess dream, let alone this is a real royal princess.

Thinking about it like this, I like it no matter how I look at it.

Nanny Cui walked in and blessed her body, "The imperial concubine and the eldest prince are here."

"Announce them in."

"No." Nanny Cui hurriedly walked out again,

After a while, I saw the imperial concubine, dressed in a plain dress with a bright yellow imperial concubine and phoenix pattern, walking in, with bright eyes and bright teeth, charming and moving.Behind him was a nanny, who was holding the emperor's eldest son Yuan Qi in her arms.

Concubine Feng hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Imperial Concubine Wu gave a little support, and then bowed to Xiao Rong.

Seeing that the imperial concubine looked good, Xiao Rong was also happy, "You look pretty good today, it seems that the people around you are doing well."

When the imperial concubine heard the words, a bright and joyful smile appeared on her face, "They are all under the protection of the empress dowager."

Xiao Rong smiled and nodded, calling the mother and son to sit on the big chair next to him.

Before Yuan Qi was carried by Xiao Rong, even though he went to Fengyu Palace, he was still very close to Xiao Rong. When he saw Xiao Rong, there was a smile on his face.

"Ouch, my good grandson." Xiao Rong looked at Yuan Qi's delicate face, his heart was filled with joy, and he stretched out his hand to take Yuan Qi from the imperial concubine's hand.

"Well, it's overwhelmed, the imperial concubine will take care of the children."

The imperial concubine hurriedly said: "This child is also well-behaved. He is not picky about food on weekdays, but he is very well-bred."

"Qi'er is really a well-behaved child. When he was at Ai's house in the past, he never cried at night, and even when he felt uncomfortable, he didn't make a sound. He is really a sweet baby."

Yuan Qi didn't have the energy to get close to his grandmother at this time, his attention was all attracted by the little girl in Concubine Feng's hand next to her.It was probably the first time I saw a 'little man' who was younger than me, my eyes were full of curiosity, and a pair of dark eyes stared at the little doll motionlessly.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine smiled lovingly, "Qi'er has been fussing over the past few days to see his younger sister. He is used to being obedient, but he is stubborn at this time. Seeing him today, he is much more obedient."

Concubine Feng covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Yu Ning will be blessed in the future, with such a good elder brother protecting her, I'm afraid she will become more and more pampered."

Xiao Rong didn't think so, "It's good to be spoiled, daughters are expensive."

Several people chatted lively and lively for a while, and then they heard the king of Beijing handing over a sign to the empress dowager, who was waiting outside the palace.

Xiao Rong was puzzled, why did she come here?

The Cui family, Princess of Beijing, whose boudoir name is Cui Wan, is from the famous Cui family in Qinghe.Nowadays, many important positions in the court are from the Cui family of Qinghe.However, they have never participated in any partisan disputes, so they live in peace with each faction.The only exception is Cui Wan's marriage relationship with King Beijing Jing.It is said that Wang Wan fell in love with Shui Rong at first sight when he was still the son of the world, and he would not marry unless he was a king. The head of the Cui family loved his daughter dearly, so he agreed to the marriage.This Shui Rong was originally a prince who had passed his temper, but since having the Cui family as Yue's family, his power has increased a bit, and he has become even more restless.

When he saw the rumored Princess of Beijing, Xiao Rong's first reaction was that Shui Rong really wasn't good enough for such a woman.

Although the appearance is not perfect, the temperament exuding from the inside out is rare and beautiful and gentle.A real beauty is a temperamental beauty, and Xiao Rong thinks it is most suitable for this princess.She was dressed simply, only wearing the red cloud-pattern princess dress, wearing a golden step rocker on her head, without any other extra decorations.

Princess Bei Jing saluted Xiao Rong and the other empresses.

"Excuse me." Xiao Rong said to the palace man again: "Give me a seat."

The palace people hurriedly brought in a big vermilion pear wood chair covered with embroidered balls.

Princess Bei Jing bit her lip, but did not sit down, she took a step forward, and knelt down in front of Xiao Rong with a bang. "Empress Dowager, the concubine has something to report to the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Rong was slightly startled, a little surprised by the behavior of the princess in front of him.She looked left and right at the imperial concubine and concubine Feng, and they both stood up with great eyesight, "The empress dowager, the concubines and concubines will kneel down first."

"Well, let's go." Xiao Rong nodded.

Nanny Cui also waved her hand, and retreated the palace people, leaving only herself by Xiao Rong's side.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xiao Rong just said: "Okay, let's get up and talk."

Princess Beijing shook her head, "The concubine is guilty, and dare not stand up to speak, so let the concubine kneel in front of the Queen Mother and tell the truth."

"Forget it, what is it?"

Princess Bei Jing kowtowed hard on the ground, her smooth forehead immediately became red and swollen.There were tears in her eyes, but they never fell, and her eyes were firm, "No matter how the queen mother punishes the concubine, please see the queen mother for the sake of the concubine's confession, and don't hurt the lives of the concubine's family. It's not a pity, I only regret that I had no eyes back then!"

When Xiao Rong heard this, he knew the seriousness of the situation.The heart also raised, and said seriously: "You explain the situation first, and the Ai family will handle it according to the circumstances."

"Queen Mother, please make the decision for the tens of thousands of people in Yangzhou City, beheading the king of Beijing, Shui Rong!"

"What do you mean?!" The voice was full of shock, could it be that those people...

Princess Beijing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the trembling in her voice, "A few months ago, my concubine found a half-burned letter in the prince's study, and vaguely saw the plague in Yangzhou. A word. At that time, the concubine didn't think much about it, but it didn't take long before she heard about the plague in Yangzhou. The concubine wondered how such a coincidence could be, but the matter was so important that the concubine couldn't be sure. I put a little more thought into it, and paid attention everywhere. As a result, I heard their conversation in the study that day, and I was really sure that this tragic plague was really their hands. I married this person for a while, and I never blindly obeyed his actions, so that the names of so many people were harmed. Now the concubines only want to die, and they only hope that the Queen Mother will not involve the mother's family. They don't know about these things Love, it was the concubine's confusion that made them suffer."

The lives of tens of thousands of people in Yangzhou were planned by these people for their wolf ambitions!

Xiao Rong always thought that even if it was a battle for imperial power, the worst thing would be fighting with each other, but he never thought that they would have such a vicious plan.The plague, the plague of the previous dynasty killed millions of innocent people. If the Yangzhou plague is not stopped in time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

These people, these people really deserve to be hacked into pieces, death is not a pity!

Her heart was already filled with monstrous rage, and her body was trembling because of the extreme anger. Xiao Rongzhi felt a bad breath in her heart, unable to speak, she wanted to cry, to roar, to tear those wolfish and ambitious beasts apart!

Seeing that Xiao Rong's complexion was not right, Cui Mama hurriedly comforted her in a low voice: "Queen Mother, take care of the Eucharist, otherwise, wouldn't these evil spirits do what they want?"

Xiao Rong clenched his fists tightly, and his sharp nails pierced into his palms, excruciatingly painful.

After trying hard to calm down, Xiao Rong finally took a deep breath, looked at Princess Beijing who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up, don't go back to the manor for now, as long as you can kill your relatives righteously at that time, the Ai family will ask the emperor for discretion." deal with it." This is more than a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans.How to deal with it, you have to ask the emperor, the civil and military officials, and the people all over the world.

Princess Bei Jing kowtowed heavily and got up from the ground.

The redness and swelling on the forehead did not damage her gentle temperament, adding to the woman's flexibility and determination.She bit her lip tightly, her eyes were free and easy like never before.I finally said it, an apology that cannot be repaid even if I die, but after all, those innocent people did not die in vain, and the debt that should be repaid cannot be escaped.
