I was a salted fish in ancient times

Someone was crying in his ear, crying continuously, and his head hurt from crying.

This was the only thought in Xiao Shan's mind when he opened his eyes. The sobbing and weeping sounds were like needles continuously piercing into his brain, which was very uncomfortable for a person like him who was dizzy due to illness one thing.

But when he saw who was crying, his cry of mourning stuck in his throat.

Because it is none other than his mother Gu Rulan, who is now Concubine Lan, who is crying as if he was dead.

Gu Rulan is beautiful but has a cowardly personality. She has no other ideas except crying when encountering things.If the queen mother was not her aunt, and the queen was her first cousin, she would not have lived long with her personality, let alone have a son and become a concubine.

It's the same now, when Xiao Shan closed her eyes, she cried softly, and when Xiao Shan opened her eyes, she began to hold his hand and cry loudly, and said while crying: "My poor child..."

Xiao Shanren was already uncomfortable, his head was a little dizzy, and his body was sticky and greasy due to some cold sweat. When she howled so loudly, his head seemed to explode instantly.

Fortunately, Gu Rulan is confused and has no idea, and the big court lady Cuishu next to her is still very clear-headed.

Seeing that Xiao Shan's face was not looking good, Cui Shu hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Rulan and comforted her softly in a low voice: "Madam, the prince just woke up, if you have something to say, why don't you talk about it after you take the medicine."

She didn't say the key words, in this palace, their Jinglan Palace was leaking everywhere like a sieve.Her master's crying will spread to other people's ears. If the emperor and queen are dissatisfied because of this matter, it will not be worth the loss.

It was only then that Gu Rulan remembered that Xiao Shan was still sick, she hurriedly stood up and said anxiously with tears on her face: "Yes, he is still sick. Hurry up, bring the medicine for the prince to drink."

Xiao Shan: "..." It's not that he is willing to think too much, but he always feels that these words are similar to the sentence "Da Lang gets up and drinks medicine", which sounds a little permeating.

Cuishu personally went to the outside room to bring the boiled medicine over.

Xiao Shan could not help wrinkling his nose when he smelled the bitter smell of medicine.

He is the most impatient to drink these. What used to be solved by a single pill is now a big bowl of dark bitter medicine.It's just that after meeting Gu Rulan's eyes full of tears, he took the medicine bowl with a numbing scalp and drank it in one go.Compared with drinking medicine, he couldn't stand Gu Rulan crying.

Cuishu originally wanted to serve Xiao Shan to drink medicine, but seeing that he didn't intend to do so, he quietly backed away.

Seeing Xiao Shanyao drink the medicine, Gu Rulan's mood calmed down a lot. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Xiao Shan with a bit of reproach, distress and grievance: "You really are, even if you really don't like your father This marriage bestowed by the emperor should not mess around with your body. When you were six years old, you suffered a serious illness and almost died. These years, your body has finally grown stronger, and you started to toss yourself again..."

Xiao Shan: "..."

Gu Rulan recalled the past, pursued the present, and judging by her words, it probably took an hour to get to the bottom of it.

He really didn't get sick because of his marriage, he just slept dishonestly at night and liked kicking the quilt to catch a cold.I felt a little uncomfortable when I got up in the morning, and when I got up after greeting Gu Rulan in the palace, I was dizzy and fainted, otherwise it would not be his turn to be an adult prince lying in the side hall of Jinglan Palace.

But this was entirely because he didn't pay much attention to the cold weather, and it had nothing to do with the emperor's gift of marriage.

When it came to the matter of giving the marriage, Xiao Shan didn't care much yet, but Gu Rulan was angry, anxious and aggrieved.

Xiao Shan is nineteen years old this year. Although he has the title of King Li, he is not serious all day long, either fighting crickets or going to eat, drink and have fun.He was also said by the emperor himself that he was too stupid to be educated, which made some famous ladies and younger brothers unwilling to come to him, for fear of having something to do with him.

The other 19-year-old princes in the palace were already full of concubines and side concubines, and some of them even became fathers.Just Xiao Shan was still alone, without even a concubine or servant by his side.

It's not that Gu Rulan didn't send the little brother of the court lady who taught personnel to his bed, but her kindness was not appreciated.Back then when Xiao Shan saw someone on his bed, he thought it was an assassin, and he was so frightened that he screamed and shouted. Everyone knew about it, and because of this, Xiao Shan fell ill and drank the medicine to recuperate his body for more than half a year.

The emperor later said that Gu Rulan acted recklessly, and if Xiao Shan was frightened into being inhumane, then he would never have to get married for the rest of his life.

In this way, Gu Rulan was impatient but did not dare to be too hasty.

She was anxious about Xiao Shan but acted like a normal person.

Not only was Xiao Shan not in a hurry in front of her, but also in front of the emperor, he also pushed back the marriage whenever he could. Show him a portrait and he can find out a lot of problems.All in all, it was all kinds of dissatisfaction, and the emperor was very unhappy about it, and kept him hanging.

Now it's all right, the emperor personally bestowed Xiao Shan with a marriage, but Xie Zhui was the one who bestowed it.

Who is Xie Zhui?The elder brother of General Xie in the north.

If this is the case, this is a good marriage, but the bad thing is that Xie Zhui's identity was discovered by a military doctor in the military camp.

It is said that when Xie Zhui was 14 years old, he dug out the pregnancy mole between his eyebrows and bandaged his brother Xie Shen who was an impostor on the grounds of his forehead injury. With the talent of a general, he had a bright future.

But what happened was that not long ago when Xie Zhui was injured and comatose, he was treated by a military doctor and found the red flower seal on his waist.

The little brother in this world was born with a vermilion mole between his eyebrows and a vermilion flower on his waist.

The vermilion mole was dug up and bandaged, so it could be said that it was injured, but the vermilion flower on the waist had grown into the flesh and grew on the bone marrow. If it was really dug up, even the bones would have to be taken out.Then this person will be completely useless.

So Xie Zhui, who was found with a red flower on his waist, just exposed his identity as a little brother.

Not to mention the repercussions it caused in the army, but the emperor on the dragon chair was stunned when the news reached the capital.

What Xie Zhui committed by entering the army under the false name was the crime of deceiving the emperor, which is a capital crime, but he has made great contributions. Enter Beijing.

Xie Zhui was placed under house arrest in the Xie family mansion as soon as he entered Beijing.

The court was also divided into two factions on how to deal with Xie Zhui, one said that Xie Zhui should be damned, and the other said that there were so many men in Dazhou who couldn't even compare to a little brother, and they were talking about guarding the border. reward.

The emperor's brain and eyes hurt from their quarrel, and he didn't know how to deal with this difficult matter for a while.The emperor was a little annoyed at Xie Zhui, if he really wanted to thank Chen, everything would be easy to say, but taking a step back, it would be fine if he was found dead and his brother's identity was discovered.

It's all right now, Xie Zhui made a publicity about his younger brother's entry into the army, which made it hard for him to follow along.

Xie Zhui was under house arrest for half a month, and the emperor suddenly made up his mind after hearing someone's advice.Xie Zhui committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and should be executed, but he has made great contributions, and Xie's family keeps pleading guilty.

Since Xie Zhui is the younger brother, the emperor, thinking of his merits, issued an imperial decree, bestowing Xie Zhui on the unmarried Li Wang Xiao Shan as the rightful emperor.

The imperial decree of the emperor shocked the people inside and outside the court.

The existence of this little brother has always been embarrassing. In terms of coquettishness, they are not as good as women, and in terms of fertility, compared to women, they are even more difficult to match. Some even never have a child in their entire life.

Since ancient times, those aristocratic families have rarely married the younger brother as the king for the sake of the family's descendants.

Of course, less is less, not nothing.

But no one thought that the emperor would give his son a younger brother to be the rightful emperor. Is this to kill King Li's queen?

What's more, Xie Zhui had dug out the pregnancy mole between his eyebrows before and spent the whole day hanging around among men. He must have been bumped by those men on weekdays, and he had already been taken advantage of by those men.

Just like that military doctor, if he hadn't touched his waist, how could he be sure of his identity?

Marrying such a young brother is like telling the world that he is running naked with a prairie on his head.

This kind of thing is probably unbearable for a man.

No matter how bad Xiao Shan's reputation was, he was also an upright third prince, the emperor's own son, and an upright prince.He has a bad reputation but looks very handsome. In terms of appearance, what kind of person in this world can't he marry?

From this incident, it can be seen how much the emperor looked down on Xiao Shan.

Of course, on the other hand, anyone with long eyes knows that the emperor is paving the way for Prince Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin is the queen's descendant.

Speaking of which, Xiao Jin was born an hour earlier than Xiao Shan, and the two had a good relationship since childhood because of their mother.

If Xiao Shan really married Xie Zhui, it would be tantamount to pulling Xie's family into Xiao Jin's camp.

The emperor loves Xiao Jin, so naturally he has to plan a lot for him.

Gu Rulan couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of this, she and Xiao Shan were born to belong to the prince's school, and she also hoped that the prince can ascend the throne smoothly.But this marriage is so bad that her heart aches when she thinks about it, and she believes that Xiao Shan doesn't like this marriage either.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen ill as soon as the imperial decree was issued.

This disease must be caused by anger.

Thinking of this, Gu Rulan gritted her teeth and couldn't help but said: "Shan'er, this marriage has wronged you too much, that Xie Zhui is not worthy of you. Why don't we go to your father now and ask him to take back his will."

Xiao Shan: "..."

Xiao Shan said truthfully: "I dare not go." The emperor's decree has been made, and this matter is a certainty, who dares to touch the bad luck.

Gu Rulan's tears were stuck in her eyes, despite her strong words, she would not dare to let her go.

She usually dared to shed tears in front of anyone, but in front of the emperor Xiao Sheng, without Xiao Sheng's permission, even if she was paralyzed from fright, she dared not shed a tear easily.Xiao Sheng got angry, that would be fatal.

She thought that shortly after she entered the palace, she saw Xiao Sheng beating and killing the palace servants in public, that scene was still fresh in her memory, and she dared not forget it for so many years.

"Then what should we do?" Gu Rulan was a little at a loss, she couldn't help but said after thinking for a while, "How about we go and beg the empress and the prince?"

In the final analysis, it was Xiao Jin who got the military power but made Xiao Shan want to marry an unfaithful younger brother...

Xiao Shan glanced at Gu Rulan, wondering if the queen is stupid, this kind of good thing that can stabilize Xiao Jin's power and position, she wished to hold his head down and marry Xie Zhui immediately, how could she beg the emperor to take back the imperial decree.

If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do such a thankless job well.

Gu Rulan wanted to say something else, but someone outside reported that it was Chang Le's father-in-law who had come.

This father-in-law Chang Le is the emperor's personal servant, and he is very favored by the emperor. The concubines in the harem will give three points of face when they see him.

Chang Le looks ordinary, but very fair, and has a pair of beautiful eyes, smiling at everyone, looking very kind and kind.But who in the palace and outside the palace really dare to underestimate him.

As soon as Chang Le entered the palace, he saw the swollen walnut-like eyes of Xiao Shan and Gu Rulan who were lying on the bed, but his face did not move for a moment, and he kept smiling all the time and said: "I have seen Concubine Lan, I have seen the prince."

Gu Rulan was cowardly or not stupid, after stopping Chang Le from saluting, she said in a hoarse voice after crying: "Eunuch Chang is here, but what orders does the emperor have?"

Chang Le smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Lord Long Live knows that the Prince is here with the Empress, so he specially asked the servant to invite the Prince to the Qianming Palace to talk."

The phrase Lan Fei empress, the phrase empress, and the latter sound immediately made people feel a lot closer.

Gu Rulan didn't have time to think about this, she said with a bit of embarrassment: "But Shan'er is ill, it's not good to go to see the emperor at this time."

Chang Le smiled and said nothing, her eyes were on Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan heard Gu Rulan cry all morning, his head was still hurting, now that he had a chance, he hurriedly said: "Eunuch Chang, wait a moment, I will change clothes and go."

Chang Le said: "The slave is waiting for the prince outside the door."

Gu Rulan wanted to stop it but couldn't, so she got up and left.

Xiao Shan changed his clothes and followed Chang Le to Qianming Hall.

When they arrived at Qianming Hall, Chang Le pushed open the hall door and whispered, "My lord, please."

Xiao Shan walked in with a normal expression, and before he saw clearly where the emperor was, a memorial flew in to greet him.

Xiao Shan hid in the past and looked at the person throwing the memorial and called out to his father.

Xiao Sheng leaned on the soft couch and snorted coldly: "Why, are you still wronged?" Xiao Sheng was also very good-looking when he was young, but he has been on the throne for many years, his face is somewhat fatter, less handsome and more kind-hearted.

It's just that those eyes are full of awe-inspiring even when they are casual.

Xiao Shan took two steps forward and said: "I can't say I'm wronged, my son is still dazed and dazed, father, you can knock this son out."

Xiao Sheng said coldly: "Isn't it because of the grievance of marriage? How did I hear that your illness was caused by the overnight marriage? Are you feeling resentful towards me?"

When Xiao Shan heard this, his eyebrows turned upside down, and his extremely handsome face was immediately blinded.

He said angrily: "I don't know who is instigating the father-son relationship between the emperor and the son. The emperor knows the temper of the son. If the son has any dissatisfaction, he will definitely tell the father directly. What is the use of it?" Outsiders are talking too much."

Xiao Sheng was choked, Xiao Shan didn't believe what he said, because Xiao Shan had been doing this since he was a child, he always sued in an aboveboard manner, and he always spoke honestly, never using those crooked methods.

He has five sons and four daughters, all of whom are afraid of him, but Xiao Shan, who has been stingy since he was a child, is not afraid of him at all.

Xiao Sheng snorted and said: "Since there is no resentment, then you are satisfied with this marriage."

Xiao Shan: "..."

Xiao Shan glanced at Xiao Sheng, with a sincere face: "Royal father, these are two different things. Whether or not my son is satisfied with this marriage depends on whether that Xie Zhui is good-looking. My father knows that my son's eyes have always been only I love looking at beauties."

Xiao Sheng slowly pursed his lips, looking displeased.If Chang Le was here, he would definitely not dare to fart at this time.

Xiao Shan was still muttering there: "Father, why don't I take a sneak peek at what Xie Zhui looks like first, if he looks good, I can guarantee that the eyeballs will stick to him..."

"You bastard." Before he finished speaking, the emperor rewarded him with another memorial.

This time the zhezi landed at Xiao Shan's feet, successfully stopping his unfinished words.

Xiao Sheng couldn't help standing up and said: "You think it's a child's play to marry me? Even if Xie Zhui is an ugly monster, this marriage is not up to you."

Xiao Shan lowered his eyelids and said, "Since this is the case, why does the emperor ask the son if he is satisfied?"

Xiao was so happy: "Is that asking your opinion? I'm telling you the result."

Xiao Shan had no words, and said in his heart, okay, you are the emperor and you have the final say.

Seeing that his complexion was not very good, Xiao Sheng said in a soft tone when he thought that he was still sick: "The prince once suggested that you should accept Xie as a side king. If you really don't like it, it's fine to offer it to the mansion on weekdays. But I think , since this grace has been given, it is better to give it to the best, the title of a righteous monarch. Xie Zhui is a smart person and will not cause trouble easily, you just give him a face."

Xiao Shan snorted.

Seeing him like this, the emperor couldn't help but get angry, so he waved him back.

Xiao Shan was about to leave the palace when he came out of Qianming Palace, mainly because he felt more dizzy, and now he wanted to go back and have a good sleep without thinking about anything.

But soon, he was stopped by Prince Xiao Jin.

Xiao Shan wanted to leave the palace immediately, and Xiao Jin wanted him to go to the East Palace for a chat.

Xiao Jin wanted to explain the current situation to him, and he didn't want Xiao Shan to misunderstand.He can guarantee that Xiao Shan will marry Xie Zhui, and he and the queen are totally unaware of it.

Xiao Shan watched his mouth move, and finally couldn't help holding Xiao Jin's hand and shouting: "Second Brother..."

His voice was a little trembling, Xiao Jin thought he was moved by himself, and couldn't help but want to reply to him. When the third brother said, he only heard Xiao Shan say: "Second brother, I'm dizzy."

After saying this, the man closed his eyes and fell down.

Xiao Jin was so frightened that his face changed drastically and he hurriedly supported him, even calling for the imperial doctor.

There was a sudden panic in the palace.
