Ning Chen Ling Xiao

The reserve position has been suspended for many years, and now the second prince, Chu Yicheng, has finally been appointed. The second prince, King Jing, led the decree to enter the palace to thank him, and moved into the East Palace the next day.

Qin Tianjian was optimistic about the future. On August [-], the emperor officially issued a decree: Since the Kaiyuan Qingping, the Chu family has followed the fate of heaven, and now it is the foundation of the Changlong country, and the Yuan Chu was established.His son, Yicheng, is a talented man in the sky, and he is outstanding every day. During the ceremony, he was awarded a book of treasures, and he was established as the crown prince, and he was in the East Palace.Yifan...

Concubine Jing Wei, she is Suxian and elegant, with a gentle heart, so she canonized as the crown princess...

Since then, the battle for the reserve position that has lasted for more than ten years has finally ceased. In this war, the Chu Dynasty lost the eldest son and three princes, but they did choose the most suitable person among the princes.

The day before the establishment of the crown prince, the old emperor sighed to Ling Chunqiu: "Old brother, I know you blame me... You used to be the teacher of the fourth child, and you blamed me for killing him."

Ling Chunqiu bowed his head respectfully and said: "The fourth prince's attempt to usurp the throne is a heinous crime, I dare not hold any resentment in my heart."

The old emperor wiped his tears and said, "What can I do? Is this world really divided into pieces and divided among our sons? Isn't that the reason why we caused trouble back then... They are all my sons, I can't bear it, so what can I do?" Only the second child can do it. He is ruthless enough to the enemy and benevolent to the people, old brother...what else do you think I should choose? Just him, and I can’t keep the fifth if I don’t settle down.”

Ling Chunqiu watched the princes grow up step by step, the emperor was happy to see the princes fight, leaving the best prince of the Da Chu dynasty to succeed.Ling Chunqiu does not agree with this kind of method, but he has to admit that the second prince who is left behind is indeed a rare talent.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, the old emperor looked at a room full of old brothers who came over through the thorns and thorns, and couldn't help sighing: "How many years... okay, I think that's it, old brothers go back, these two days have been hard, I will give you gold ingots, go home and count the money."

The old courtiers remembered that when the uprising was the worst, Chu Longfeng promised them while chewing dry pastry: When we have money, we will give you gold ingots one by one, one hundred for each person, and eat meat and drink all day long...

Reminiscing like this, the veterans couldn't help laughing when they remembered the time when they fought the world, thanked them and went home one after another.

After returning to Shoukanghou's Mansion, Old Master Ling looked at Ling Xiao and knew that he had guessed it. He nodded and smiled: "I'll prepare a generous gift and go to your uncle's house to congratulate you right away."

On the third day after the canonization ceremony, Crown Princess Wei Hua sent eunuchs to summon Ling Xiao brothers and sisters into the palace. Mrs. Shi hurriedly dug out the dresses for the children to wear. After dressing up, the group followed the eunuch and female officer into the carriage, passed through layers of guards and entered the East Palace.

The Crown Princess met them in the main hall. Wei Hua had cut off contact with the Ling family since the battle for the reserve had intensified a few years ago. Do not recognize this relative.In fact, even Ling Ruxue and Ling Xuan could see that Concubine Jing was afraid that if things go wrong in the future, the Ling family will be affected. Now that the big event has been decided, the princess hastily called the children of the Ling family to come and see.

Since Wei Zhuang's death, the Crown Princess has been very sympathetic to the two children left by her younger sister. She has never broken things during festivals, and she goes to Shoukanghou's mansion from time to time to see them.Later, I was afraid that my husband's accident in the battle for the reserve would hurt them, so I haven't seen my two children for several years, and I miss them very much.

The four sons of Ling Xiao approached the main hall to pay their respects, the Crown Princess hurriedly stepped aside, her eyes turned red after watching for a long time, she choked up slightly and said, "This is Ling Xiao... this should be Ling Pheasant... it's so big, come here quickly Let my aunt see."

Ling Xiao and Ling Zhi hurriedly approached, and the Crown Princess hugged Ling Zhi and then Ling Xiao, seeing her sister's similar eyebrows and eyes, she couldn't help but shed tears, and cried: "Your mother left early. , I haven’t been able to take care of it in the past few years..."

Ling Zhi couldn't help crying too, took out a handkerchief and obediently wiped the tears for the princess, choked up and said: "I haven't seen my aunt for several years, I still keep the little sachet you embroidered for me..."

The princess cried for a while, then shook her head and sighed: "My good boy, come here if you miss me in the future, and you can live with me... Ling Xiao really has grown up, and his appearance is getting better and better."

Ling Xiao nodded and smiled: "The Crown Princess is ridiculous."

The concubine paused, took Ling Xiao's hand and sighed: "Okay, there are no outsiders, let's call you aunt as before...how come you have a birth with me in just a few years."

Of course Ling Xiao remembered the benefits the princess had given him and his sister back then, so he quickly said, "Aunt..."

The princess smiled happily, and pulled Ling Zhi to ask this, and turned to Ling Xiao to ask that, from time to time she smiled gratifiedly, and from time to time sighed and choked up again, completely ignoring Ling Xuan and Ling Yi who were still standing underground.

Holding Ling Pheasant and Ling Xiao in their arms for a while, the princess's motherhood was released. Holding the brocade handkerchief and pressing the corners of her eyes, Shi Shiran ordered the female officer to arrange seats for the four of them.

The Crown Princess still knew about Xia's dirty work back then, and now she doesn't like the two concubine children very much. In fact, Ling Xuan and Ling Yi are also related to the Crown Princess, but if it is from the cousin Ling Ruxue In terms of the relationship with the legitimate son born to his own sister, the difference is much worse.

The princess didn't want people to gossip about her injustice, so she called all the children here.

After offering tea and snacks, the princess picked up the teacup to calm down, and said calmly, "I heard that Ling Xuan already has an official position? Sure enough."

What does the princess mean by this?Is it really boasting about your own achievements, or is it insinuating that you are an official donated by your father?Or are you blaming your family for not donating to Ling Xiao?Ling Xuan had many thoughts in his mind for a while, complained endlessly, and replied with a bow: "It's just using my father to walk around, it's not worth anything."

The principal of the sixth grade is really worthless, the crown princess nodded in agreement.He asked Ling Zhi gently again: "I didn't take a good look at it just now, what is it wearing on this head? I have seen some things, but I really haven't seen this."

Ling Zhi smiled innocently: "Second Brother drew it for me, and I wear it every day."

Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing, and teased: "You don't know how to change until you get a new one every time, and you wear it all day, as if you only have this one."

The Crown Princess liked the harmony between their siblings, and said with a smile, "Xiao'er's hand is so ingenious! Even the emperor praised the bow that he drew that year."

Ling Xiao got goosebumps all over his body from the concubine's saying 'Xiao'er', and said with a smile, "Auntie made fun of me again."

The princess smiled, and asked a female official to take a box of golden cat's eye and a box of Dongzhu, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to give jewelry, but I am embarrassed to reward you when I see the things worn by the pheasant girl. Here are two boxes for you." Zhuzi, let your brother go and beat it for you." Then he smiled at Ling Zhi, "If you have any good ones, I will send some to my aunt, haha."

Ling Xiao and Ling Zhi stood up together to thank them, and the Crown Princess rewarded the four of them with a lot of things. Ling Xuan had the same as Ling Xiao, and Ling Yi had the same as Ling Zhi.

The Crown Princess looked at Ling Xiao and then at Ling Xuan. She knew about the Ling family's affairs. Although Ling Xuan was only the head of the sixth rank now, outsiders always felt that the eldest son of the concubine was more valued by the Ling family than the eldest son Ling Xiao.

The Crown Princess lightly held the jadeite bracelet on her left wrist with her right hand, and thought for a while, how could she not let the child born to that lowly maidservant of the Xia family pass her sister's child!

Compared with her younger sister, Crown Princess Wei Hua's life is much better. Ever since she married the second prince, the backyard has been peaceful and stable. Later, the second prince was granted the title of king of Jing and went out to build a mansion. The husband has more and more concubines. , Those who are rewarded by the emperor, those who are filial by the people below, and those who are not easy to shirk have to be kept in the yard.Although there are many goblins in King Jing's mansion, King Jing didn't even have a side concubine. The most rare thing is King Jing, the current crown prince has four sons and two daughters, all of whom are descendants!

Some people even speculated whether the princess was vicious and could not tolerate others. In fact, the princess was very wronged, and the prince often went to the concubines, but it was true that they did not allow them to conceive a child.The princess also secretly guessed that this should be what the prince meant.The crown prince really worked hard for this position, and the many children did not come from a single mother. The crown prince knows the pain best, so the crown prince simply does not want a concubine son, and the crown princess is also upbeat, relying on the crown prince's favor and giving birth to six children. A child comes out.

While the princess is deeply loved by her husband, she also secretly admires the prince's foresight. In the future, their children will definitely not intrigue and kill each other like their parents.But at this time, the prince hadn't realized that his killings over the past ten years had long been reflected in the eyes of the four emperors and grandchildren. The emperor's family always did not care about family affection when fighting for power, and neither did the same mother. Change, of course, is another story.

In the eyes of the princess, her four sons are all the same, and she was moved, and smiled at Ling Xiao: "How is Xiao'er's recent article?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "It's not very good, the master also said I was stupid."

"Nonsense!" How could your own child be bad?The princess smiled and said, "It seems that the master I invited is not good. I intend to let you enter the palace to be the emperor's grandson's companion. What do you mean?"

Ling Xiao and Ling Xuan were both shocked. The emperor's grandson is the future prince, and possibly the future emperor!The prince has always been carefully selected for reading companions. The companion books have no grades, but no one has ever underestimated this seat. Soaring to the top.

Ling Xiao has been favored by the Crown Princess since she was a child. It is no big deal to give her a companion to read. If she gives her younger sister a face, she can also receive the best education from the best master in the palace, and the Crown Princess is confident enough that the Crown Prince will respect her wishes.

With such a good errand, Ling Xiao certainly wouldn't let it go, and readily agreed: "Thank you aunt for the compliment."

The princess was happy, and asked again: "Then let me praise you again, four grandsons, tell me, who do you want to be your companion?"

Originally, only the princes and grandchildren chose to read with them, but now the concubine let Ling Xiao choose by herself, the love is evident, Ling Xiao's eyes moved, and he said with a smile: "I heard that the fourth grandson will also enter the Faith Academy this year, nephew If you don't have talent, you want to serve the Fourth Emperor's grandson as a dog and horse."

The Crown Princess never thought that Ling Xiao could pick the six-year-old fourth grandson, Chu Yiyan. She just said that, and she thought that Ling Xiao would definitely pick the eldest grandson. In any case, it's a good future to follow the great emperor's grandson, Chu Yijin.

The concubine rolled up her wide sleeves, stroked the coral beads on her temples, and smiled softly: "Although the first three emperors and grandchildren already have companions, it's nothing. Like Yijin, there are already two companions." It's over."

Ling Xiao smiled shyly: "My nephew is thinking... the fourth grandson is the youngest, and he must be the most relaxed in the curriculum. Please ask my aunt to agree." Linghou's years of teaching were not in vain, and Ling Xiao didn't want to be involved in the future at all. In the battle between the emperor's grandchildren, the fourth prince is still young, so he is definitely the best choice.

The concubine laughed, but Ling Xiao himself was willing, nodded and said: "Alright, Yiyan is cute, I must like you." Then she asked the female officer to call Chu Yiyan, "Tell him, choose a good companion for him, let He's coming to see you."

Not long after, several female officials came over with a chubby doll, and behind them was a boy who was slightly younger than Ling Xiao. The two came in together to greet the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess smiled and said: "Feng'er is here too, you My aunt's children are here, see you."

After seeing each other, Ling Xiao took a closer look. At this time, Chu Yiyan was still a fat six-year-old baby. After meeting Ling Xiao and knowing that she was his companion, he couldn't be happier. Play, I will give you any delicious food."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words. The boy behind Chu Yiyan was the second emperor's grandson, Chu Yifeng. He was 13 years old this year. This emperor's grandson liked weapons and military service since he was a child. The handsome little face is very heroic, with a cheerfulness that boys of this age don't have. Seeing Ling Xiao, his eyes widened, and he said excitedly: "Ling Xiao! I know you! The new bow and arrow in the army is you Improved, the current bow and arrow are accurate and have a long range, this is all thanks to you!"

Ling Xiao also smiled when he saw the little general: "The second emperor's grandson Mu praised, I can't afford it."

"Oh! I didn't know it was you who came, and I have nothing to give you..." Chu Yifeng naturally knew the importance of bows and arrows since he was a child in the army. Now he doesn't know how to express his excitement when he sees Ling Xiao. After a long time, I found a green jade pendant, handed it to Ling Xiao, and said with a smile: "This is the lottery that the emperor rewarded my swordsmanship the day before yesterday. He said it was for me to give it to the person I like. If I like you, I will give it to you." You! I don’t understand, they all say it’s good jade.”

Ling Xiao took it over and took a closer look, and couldn't help but blush a little, this stupid boy!

Jade is a rare and good jade, two inches square, without a single blemish, the green color is almost dripping water, but it is hollowed out with concentric knots carved on it, although it is simple and generous, you can tell it is for your sweetheart at a glance !

Ling Xiao thought he was thick-skinned and couldn't help being a little embarrassed. Seeing this, the princess wanted to go over and have a look. Laughing, she instructed with a smile, "Take what's for you, haha."

Chu Yifeng didn't know that he was making a joke. He had been in the army for a long time and didn't understand anything. When he saw everyone laughing, he also laughed a few times.

The concubine smiled for a while and said: "Forget it, it's getting late, I'll stay with Lingzhi for a few days, you go back first." Then she gave some treasures and ordered the eunuch to send them back properly.
