Raised baby is reborn
Chapter 41 Confusion
After waking up from a hangover, with a splitting headache, Mingshu changed her clothes and went to the office in a daze, and did not see His Highness again for a day.
On the contrary, the eldest princess did not go to court, and the injury on her arm worsened, causing a high fever. The doctor ordered her to rest for a few days.
After the little girl left, she ordered Wen Xia to follow secretly, and there was a mixed bag of dragons and snakes in the household, and there were people of all colors.
The doctor went to prescribe the medicine, and Ping'er went to get the medicine and boil it himself, and no one else could touch the things he handled.
After Qin Tangxi drank the medicine, the properties of the medicine controlled his brain, and he fell asleep not long after.
Noisy people came from outside, she tried to open her eyes, but only saw the faint figure of her mother, her eyelids weighed more than a thousand catties, and she fell asleep in a daze.
The dark and invisible space is gradually replaced by peach blossoms, just like the story of Peach Blossom Spring, when you go to the end, you will suddenly see the light.
There were many people in the peach blossom forest, and the petals fell all over the ground. When they fell, the little girl grabbed the petals that were about to fall, and ran to her excitedly, "Sister, I caught it..."
Duke Xin stood where he was and smiled lightly, stroking his beard and staring at her.
The little girl hugged her knees, her immature appearance was sculpted in pink and jade, she leaned over and hugged the little girl up.
At this moment, Lord Xin Guo came over, "Congratulations, Your Highness."
"Why does the Lord think that I am competent?" She knows that her ability is limited, the current situation is like a mess, His Majesty is a wise king, and he has spent half his life trying to stabilize the situation, but if it falls into her hands, I'm afraid it will fall apart.
Lord Xin Guo naturally said: "Your Majesty knows people, and he raised you with all his strength. It can be seen that he trusts you in his heart. The great rivers and mountains are in your hands, and their fate is also in your hands. Your Highness needs to believe in himself, and more Trust your blood."
Falling petals are colorful, her eyes are full of burning, the beauty of peach blossoms, the next generation of loyal ministers swears, she stares at him in bewilderment.
After waking up from the dream, she stared at the brocade tent for a long time, the pain in her arm gradually brought her back to reality.
Qin Tangxi struggled to get up, her face was bloodless and fearless, Ping'er helped her up, and said quietly: "The concubine is here, I'm not very happy, she just left the mansion."
"What are you doing out of the house?" Qin Tangxi reluctantly sat up, her mind was still dizzy, and Ping'er in front of her was shaking.
Ping'er brought her a welcome pillow, thinking: "I heard that I went to see Princess Xin'an."
Qin Tangxi didn't speak. Her mother and Princess Xin'an only came together because of the little princess. This time, it must be because of the little princess.
Looking at Ping'er's pretty appearance, her heart was ups and downs like a tide, and she finally took her hand: "Ping'er, may you remember those things you forgot?"
"I forgot why I have to think about it again. I'm living a good life." Ping'er was surprised. After thinking of the square embroidered handkerchief, he raised his head and looked at His Highness with a smile, "Who embroidered that square embroidered handkerchief?"
"It should be Mingshu." Qin Tangxi's slightly meaningful eyes slowly fell on the brocade tent.
Maybe Mingshu is not Mingshu anymore, why does she know Zhao Lan's qin, Zhao Lan's cakes, and Zhao Lan's everything, but she just doesn't know Mingshu's embroidery skills, and even accounting has the same headache as Zhao Lan.
Are the scriptures true?
Over the past few days, she has been constantly probing, but the final conclusion is too ridiculous.
How could she justify this absurdity?
People may lose their memory, why do they forget the skills they rely on for survival, and learn the piano that they have never touched?
Qin Tangxi slightly closed her phoenix eyes, her fragility lost a little bit of her previous aura, but made her feel a little more distressed. She was the one who brought Ping'er into the mansion. If she is really the little princess, it should be a good thing.
"Ping'er, send someone to visit Prince Xin'an's mansion, and say that the old matter has been settled."
Ping'er took the order and quietly exited the study.
Qin Tangxi slowly closed his eyes, as if Ping'er was the princess.
Perhaps this war is really about to start.
****
Concubine Xin'an was invited to the Princess Mansion, and it just so happened that Concubine An also came back together.
After the two entered, they each frowned. Concubine An took two quick steps, and when she approached, she saw the haggard woman who used to be a high-ranking and powerful woman. In an instant, her eyes turned cold: "Have you found the assassin?"
"Not yet, it's a dead man." Qin Tangxi smiled slightly and ordered Ping'er to move the stool.
The princess glanced at the surrounding environment. The simple bed was placed behind the study room, and the furnishings seemed a bit perfunctory. She asked curiously, "Why does Your Highness live in the study room?"
Ping'er pouted, "This is..."
"Ping'er." Qin Tangxi called her in time, and said to Wangfei: "I have a deal, Wangfei, what do you think of this girl?"
Concubine An was a little surprised, "Why are you so sure?"
"I was only about seven or eight years old when I rescued Ping'er, and it was more than eight years ago. The jade pendant on her body was taken by the Ming family. But the little girl of the Ming family gave a brocade embroidered with jade pendant to one party, and the two separated. Later, the girl from the Ming family kept looking for her, but she lost her memory, the girl from the Ming family..." Qin Tangxi paused.
What should I say later, that Ping'er was not found until death?
But Mingshu was still alive and kicking around.
She changed her words and said: "The girl from the Ming family has not found her so far, but the embroidered handkerchief is the proof, and the jade pendant is also on the way to find it. But Ping'er suffered from a high fever and lost his memory, the princess can ask the doctor to take her for treatment."
Ping'er's eyes widened in shock, and she pursed her lips slightly, "I don't want to leave Your Highness."
"The prince's mansion is not far from the princess' mansion, so you can come here often." Qin Tangxi smiled slightly, and the feeling of vicissitudes and powerlessness penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
She was not sure, but one of the two little girls must be the little princess of Xin'an Palace. It should have been confirmed that it was Ping'er, but Ming's mother's attitude towards Mingshu was a little strange.
Ping'er didn't have much reaction, Princess Xin'an's eyes filled with tears, and she cried while pulling Ping'er.
Concubine An subconsciously glanced at her daughter, who looked dodged, and she swallowed the words immediately.
Concubine Xin'an had a daughter, so happy she hugged her into her arms, Qin Tangxi's pale face became even uglier, covered her lips and coughed twice, Concubine An couldn't help but pat her on the back.
"Princess, why don't you let Ping'er go back to the mansion with you first, and find a doctor to treat her well, I'm a little tired."
The eldest princess's expression was extremely bad, she lost her luster by looking at everyone, her facial features were twisted in pain, Princess Xin'an gave a few words of comfort and led Ping'er away.
Concubine An was reluctant to let go of her daughter, so she sent someone to send the princess off, but stayed by herself.
Qin Tangxi didn't have enough breath, her breathing was a little rough, her eyes were particularly sore, she opened her eyes and closed them again, thinking of her mother still alive, she persisted in opening her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Concubine An didn't give her time to breathe, and asked directly: "Is the girl from the Ming family Mingshu?"
If it wasn't for Mingshu, she wouldn't have searched so quickly. It took her several years, and Qin Tangxi found it in half a month, which was amazing.
"Well, it's Mingshu." Qin Tangxi sighed, but she still couldn't hide it from her mother.
She was a little dazed, feeling uneasy in a trance.
Concubine An sneered: "Ping'er doesn't remember, you are sure it is her and not Mingshu. I see that the Ming family's family background is not bad, and they will definitely not be sold to the point of selling their sons and daughters."
"Mother..." Qin Tangxi hesitated to speak.
"Qin Tangxi, if you say your thoughts are simple, it's confusing the royal blood, and if you say it's complicated, it's just that you want to be with the little girl, but you should find out, otherwise you will feel uneasy." Dowager An reminded kindly.
Qin Tangxi's eyes were dazed, so what if she asked the Ming family and got a definite answer, but she was so confused.
Besides, Ping'er may not necessarily compete with His Majesty for the throne.
Princess Xin'an needs her daughter's comfort, Ping'er gets the glory and wealth and also has her mother's care, Mingshu will be happy in the princess mansion, what's wrong?
Ask yourself, she is selfish.
"Mother, you said that people are selfish."
"You thought this way, you should sit in that position yourself. What Lord Xin Guo taught you is useless. If he is shrewd and ends up being killed all over the house, it is also my fault." Concubine An twisted her face. With a slap in the face.
Qin Tangxi fell silent, and chose to forget about the letter. It was in everyone's interest to forget it like this.
The room suddenly became quiet, and Concubine An said again: "Since you have made a decision, you should do it. If you find out about Ming's family, you can't hide these things after all, unless the matter is what you think."
"I know, thank you mother for reminding me." Qin Tangxi opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear.
****
After leaving the Yamen, the little girl did not come back, so Qin Tangxi sent someone to look for her, but she was taken away by Princess Kangping for a banquet again.
At Haishi, the little girl came back drunk, and when she climbed onto the bed, she heard the sound of the door opening. She turned her head to see that His Highness had come down.
She paused, thinking about sinking as if she couldn't control herself, and her whole body fell down with a bang.
Qin Tangxi was amused, dismissed the maid, and walked over by herself: "Mingshu, where did you come from?"
The little girl changed her clothes, the white sun was an official robe, but this time it was a skirt.
The skirt fits well, and the lapel at the waist is also pretty. The light blue color is dotted with moon-white brocade, and the hem is like undulating sea water, sparkling in the dim light.
Kang Ping was against her, so he was willing to spend money.
The little girl fell on the couch and wriggled like a big bug. She twisted her body and then slowly got up. She narrowed her lacquered fox eyes slightly, and pretended to be mysterious: "The county magistrate can't say anything."
"Are you listening to me or her?" Qin Tangxi sneered.
The little girl immediately stated: "I will listen to Your Highness."
Qin Tangxi: "Where did you go today?"
The little girl bit her lower lip, her calf trembled on the bed, and she raised her thin neck: "Huafang."
Sure enough, I didn't go to any good place.Qin Tangxi guessed a little bit that Kang Ping was in charge of the household department, and he was able to handle affairs in Beijing with ease, and most of the affairs above the bureaucracy were related to romance.
"What did you do on the boat?"
Hearing this, the little girl trembled, but His Highness was not angry, she frightened herself, and cried: "Drink."
"If you have the guts to do something, you should have the guts to continue." Qin Tangxi glanced at her, rubbed her fleshy right wrist with his left hand, and said coldly, "Why are you crying?"
The little girl was dizzy, and her head was so heavy that she couldn't support its strength, so she fell crookedly.
The drunken appearance was a little less calm than usual, with a naive look, but a sense of coquettishness, Qin Tangxi leaned over, staring at the corners of her delicate lips.
"Little thing, I haven't settled accounts with you yet?"
Mingshu was buried in the quilt, her legs swung like paddling water, she successfully stuffed her feet into the quilt, and then started to work hard with both hands.
In front of His Highness, he stuffed his whole body into the quilt. Finally, he showed a small head and shook his Highness: "No, I'll give you a kiss, and we'll settle the matter, okay?"
The little thing's words were like a layer of boiling oil poured on the fire, Qin Tangxi felt a burst of anger, "Who taught you?"
After Mingshu entered the Hualou, she was given her name, and the manager didn't dare to let her go out to meet people easily, so she just practiced dancing on weekdays. Obviously, these words were not heard at this time.
The person hiding under the blanket rubbed his head, and after a while, he muttered a name: "Qin Jianhan..."
Qin Tangxi was obviously taken aback, and didn't respond for a long while. He glanced at her indifferently, and finally left the bedroom lonely without saying a word.
Mingshu stayed up all night until dawn, almost missed the time, and hurried to the household department to work as an errand.
The Lord of Kangping County took her outside to check the accounts today, and when he saw that she didn't wake up, he immediately laughed and said, "Didn't sleep last night?"
Ming Shu didn't understand, and after tidying up her clothes, she asked about the business: "Where are you going to check the accounts today?"
"Going to the palace, the queen mother said that the accounts are wrong, let us go and have a look. Those people are too timid to go, so you just follow me." Kang Ping suppressed his smile, and reminded him kindly after thinking of the emperor's concubine. Mingshu: "Don't raise your head indiscriminately after entering the palace, the queen mother is not a good person."
"I know." Ming Shu remembered it in her heart.
Kang Ping reminded her again: "The empress dowager and concubine in the harem don't deal with each other very much on weekdays, so be careful."
"Okay." Mingshu knew this well. After all, Qin Jianhan was a burden to the emperor, and would be useless after falling out with the Princess Mansion.
After taking care of themselves, the two boarded the carriage together, and the carriage walked slowly towards the palace.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Kang Ping was in front, leading Ming Shu with a cold expression.
After arriving at the Empress Dowager's palace, Kang Ping went in alone, leaving Ming Shu outside.
Before leaving, Kang Ping told her: "Go to the side room to drink tea and wait for me to come out."
Xiao Nei approached and welcomed the young adult from the household department into a side room for guests.
Mingshu had a slight impression of this place. The queen mother only wanted to see the county magistrate, and she didn't want to waste her words on her villain.
The side room is not big, and you can see everything at a glance when you enter it. The waiter thoughtfully sent a cup of tea.
It was a long journey from the palace gate to the Empress Dowager's palace, Ming Shu had long been thirsty, recalled something, put the tea back in its original place, and sat in her seat as if loose.
There are only a few rosewood chairs in the room, and simply sitting is better than blowing cold wind outside.
Mingshu didn't know how long she had been waiting, she was drowsy, when footsteps came from outside, she woke up immediately.
He trotted to the window, and saw a familiar figure through the gap.
Qin Jianhan is wearing a dazzling palace attire, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and the appearance of the concubine is also very good-looking. If she used to be a compliment, but now she sees the urge to strangle her to death, but the enemy is strong and we are few. She's not going to be head-to-head.
Panting heavily, Qin Jianhan stopped the eldest princess, "Auntie, I'll send someone to the house to look for you, but you didn't answer me no matter what."
The eldest princess was tall and tall, standing under the deep wall with a graceful and moving posture, Mingshu looked at it with crooked eyebrows.
"There is no relationship between you and Gu. Why should I return you? On the contrary, the noble concubine stopped Gu. If it gets to the ears of Yu Shi, it will only be assumed that Gu has colluded with the harem. At that time, you will lose face and Gu will want it. "Qin Tangxi's eyes were cold and his tone was cold.
Hearing the unfeeling words, Qin Jianhan's heart turned ninety cents cold, but the Eldest Princess is so powerful that His Majesty does not dare to confront him head-on at this time, so she dare not offend at will.
"My aunt still has a relationship with me because of Lan'er. Lan'er has been spoiled by you. I can't persuade you to do things yourself. She felt guilty in the end..."
She hesitated to speak, her eyes were red, and she felt a little pitiful for herself.
Then Qin Tangxi is not a fool, if he believed in such a joke, he would not be able to live today, he was unwilling to give him a look in disgust, he raised his head and stared at the blue sky, "Gu knows best how she died, the noble concubine chose her own path You should just go on by yourself, and if you think about turning around again, you won’t be afraid that Lan’er’s soul will find you? When you wake up in the middle of the night, have you ever dreamed of the girl who was with you as a childhood sweetheart? Have you ever dreamed that she is infatuated with you? It came up with her dead body. Qin Jianhan, you come to Gu at this time and say that she committed suicide in shame, and you really treat Gu as a three-year-old child."
Qin Jianhan was terrified in her heart, she clenched her cuffs tightly with both hands, her teeth were trembling with these words, she tried hard to maintain her glamorous appearance, "Auntie, she really committed suicide by herself, ashamed of Xin Guogong In the end, I found out that my father had betrayed the country, and I felt very sad, saying that it was difficult to face your love."
"You, you should trust me, I was brought up by you..."
With a crisp snap, the bird perched on the branch fluttered its wings in fright and flew away quickly.
Qin Tangxi covered her cheeks and looked at the eldest princess who withdrew her hand in disbelief, "You hit me..."
"Foul words." Qin Tangxi glanced at her indifferently, and walked away.
When she walked under the eaves of the corridor, she found that the window was open. She glanced slightly, and when she saw a pair of bright and penetrating eyes, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
After Mingshu was found eavesdropping, she was afraid that she would be beaten too, so she quickly closed the window.
After closing the window, he unconsciously patted himself on the chest. The way His Highness beat someone was so beautiful.
Qin Tangxi who was outside the house didn't pay much attention, he lifted his feet and left Ci'an Palace, and only after he left the palace gate did he ask the servant: "Who else came to Ci'an Palace today?"
The servant said frankly: "There is also the head of Kangping County of the Ministry of Households and a head of the Ming Dynasty."
Qin Tangxi stood at the gate of the palace and paused slightly, said: "Call Master Ming and say that I want to see her alone."
The servant didn't find it strange, and ran to the side room as soon as he turned his footsteps.
Ming Shu trotted out, rolled her eyes around, walked quickly to His Highness, and saluted carefully: "Your Highness."
Qin Tangxi glanced at her lightly: "Is eavesdropping interesting?"
"It's more interesting to peek." Mingshu smiled flatteringly, and reached out to grab her cuff.
Qin Tangxi ignored her flattery, put his hands behind his back, and said: "If you come back late tonight, don't sleep tonight, and don't want to lose your waist."
Ming Shu shuddered all over, felt a shadow from lower back for a long time, nodded slowly: "Understood, will His Highness go back to the bedroom tonight?"
"Go back, or you'll be lazy." Qin Tangxi turned and left, leaving Mingshu stamping on the spot alone.
Your Highness is so annoying.
Not long after, the Lord Kangping withdrew from the palace with a gloomy face.
Mingshu was unhappy but still thinking about serious matters, and asked, "Is the Queen Mother embarrassing you?"
"The accounts don't match. You should go back to the household department to find Chen Dan to compare the accounts first." Kang Ping was so worried that he broke into a cold sweat after remembering what the queen mother said, and walked towards the palace where the eldest princess was in charge.
Unexpectedly, she went two steps late, and the emperor went in one step ahead of her, so she had to wait outside.
In the hall, the little emperor was sitting on the position of the eldest princess, playing with her brush in his hand, his eyes hanging upside down, and said: "I heard that Princess Xin'an has found her daughter?"
"Your Majesty's news is really fast." Qin Tangxi praised without distraction, his eyes fell on the emperor's cold eyebrows, and he let out a long breath.
The emperor's mind was obviously confused. After facing more and more difficult problems, he wanted to come to the eldest princess to try it out. He opened a reviewed memorabilia, and the eldest princess's cursive handwriting was exposed in front of his eyes.
Women don't like cursive script, they love beautiful small characters, but the eldest princess is an exception. Ever since the emperor was sensible, the eldest princess loves to learn cursive script.
The cursive script is just as the name suggests, and the handwriting is wildly cursive. The emperor took a few more glances before remembering today's purpose, and continued: "I am no exception to the things that the whole court knows. The eldest princess remembers what my father said before he died."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never become emperor on my own." Qin Tangxi said indifferently.
"Sister answered so quickly that I couldn't believe it. How does Princess Xin'an's daughter look like?" The emperor smiled lightly and refused to budge, and said, "You don't know how, but the princess who got back is you and me. My cousin, sister, have you never thought about changing the lord?"
Qin Tangxi smiled lightly, staring at the emperor's face as if watching a joke, "Your Majesty is obedient, but my minister will not."
"Be obedient..." The emperor gritted his teeth, and one sentence almost stepped on her self-esteem. She is the emperor, how could she listen to a minister, she said angrily: "Qin Tangxi, I am the emperor."
"Your Majesty, I said that you are the emperor if you are obedient. If you are not obedient, I can avoid you. The case of the Lord Xinguo's mansion is that you forced the minister to the point of no return. What a hero Xin Guogong was when he assisted the late emperor to ascend the throne. The late emperor Bestowing titles, relatives believe in them, and make the ministers treat them well. If you don’t listen to the late emperor’s will, the ministers can replace you with the late emperor.”
The words were very heartless and shocked the little emperor, "Qin Tangxi, you dare to say outrageous things, it's simply presumptuous."
"Presumptuousness is presumptuous. Your Majesty breaks the contract first. It's all for me to follow the example. It's human nature for me to learn from the king."
Qin Tangxi was unhurried, and didn't care about the emperor's words at all, and even threatened her.
The little emperor was furious, "You, you really don't know how to repent, aren't you afraid of retribution on the princess?"
Qin Tangxi's weakness is Princess An.
Qin Tangxi smiled lightly: "If a minister is not an emperor, he has nothing to do with the concubine, but your majesty, what do you mean by talking about the concubine again and again?"
"Zhen, I'm reminding you kindly, don't forget your oath." The emperor walked away angrily.
Qin Tangxi breathed a sigh of relief, walked back to his seat and sat down.
After a while, Kang Ping walked in, "Does Your Highness want to vindicate the government of Xin Guo?"
Qin Tangxi fell silent, his eyes flickered with hesitation, if he really wanted to reverse the case, the letter would definitely be involved, and in this case, it was better not to reverse the case.
"Why are you here?"
"The Queen Mother just wanted to win me over when she saw me."
Qin Tangxi said: "You can figure it out yourself."
"Is the Princess of Xin'an Prince's Mansion real?" Kang Ping still didn't believe it.
"Really, by the way, there is a case in Jianghuai, where a ship of silver was stolen. You have time to confront the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Qin Tangxi took out a copy of the official document and handed it to Kang Ping.
Seeing that she didn't want to say any more, Kang Ping had no choice but to quiet down, took the documents and went to the Ministry of Punishment.
****
It was getting darker and later, and the days were getting longer.
When Qin Tangxi returned to the mansion, she still didn't see Ming Shu, so she frowned and asked the maid: "Has she not come back yet?"
The maid shook her head: "No."
Qin Tangxi stepped into the bedroom, but saw the pearl hairpin quietly placed on the table
It just so happened that hurried footsteps came from outside, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm back."
The sound is like a silver bell, loud and clear.
Qin Tangxi slightly bent the corners of her lips, and turned around with a cold face.
Mingshu's heart skipped a beat in fright, she came back quite early today, glanced at His Highness, and said cautiously: "I came back very early."
After finishing speaking, she saw the pearl hairpin in her hand, and said in a daze, "Your Highness, who is making you unhappy again?"
"The pearl hairpin is not bad." Qin Tangxi threw it to her directly, and turned to leave.
The author has something to say: Ming Shu:? ? ?
Thanks to the nutrient solution and mine, I came on time today.
感谢在2021-03-1421:07:50~2021-03-1521:01:53期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel who threw the mine: 2 rabbit fur ball;
Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: 4 bottles; Ana 2 bottles;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
On the contrary, the eldest princess did not go to court, and the injury on her arm worsened, causing a high fever. The doctor ordered her to rest for a few days.
After the little girl left, she ordered Wen Xia to follow secretly, and there was a mixed bag of dragons and snakes in the household, and there were people of all colors.
The doctor went to prescribe the medicine, and Ping'er went to get the medicine and boil it himself, and no one else could touch the things he handled.
After Qin Tangxi drank the medicine, the properties of the medicine controlled his brain, and he fell asleep not long after.
Noisy people came from outside, she tried to open her eyes, but only saw the faint figure of her mother, her eyelids weighed more than a thousand catties, and she fell asleep in a daze.
The dark and invisible space is gradually replaced by peach blossoms, just like the story of Peach Blossom Spring, when you go to the end, you will suddenly see the light.
There were many people in the peach blossom forest, and the petals fell all over the ground. When they fell, the little girl grabbed the petals that were about to fall, and ran to her excitedly, "Sister, I caught it..."
Duke Xin stood where he was and smiled lightly, stroking his beard and staring at her.
The little girl hugged her knees, her immature appearance was sculpted in pink and jade, she leaned over and hugged the little girl up.
At this moment, Lord Xin Guo came over, "Congratulations, Your Highness."
"Why does the Lord think that I am competent?" She knows that her ability is limited, the current situation is like a mess, His Majesty is a wise king, and he has spent half his life trying to stabilize the situation, but if it falls into her hands, I'm afraid it will fall apart.
Lord Xin Guo naturally said: "Your Majesty knows people, and he raised you with all his strength. It can be seen that he trusts you in his heart. The great rivers and mountains are in your hands, and their fate is also in your hands. Your Highness needs to believe in himself, and more Trust your blood."
Falling petals are colorful, her eyes are full of burning, the beauty of peach blossoms, the next generation of loyal ministers swears, she stares at him in bewilderment.
After waking up from the dream, she stared at the brocade tent for a long time, the pain in her arm gradually brought her back to reality.
Qin Tangxi struggled to get up, her face was bloodless and fearless, Ping'er helped her up, and said quietly: "The concubine is here, I'm not very happy, she just left the mansion."
"What are you doing out of the house?" Qin Tangxi reluctantly sat up, her mind was still dizzy, and Ping'er in front of her was shaking.
Ping'er brought her a welcome pillow, thinking: "I heard that I went to see Princess Xin'an."
Qin Tangxi didn't speak. Her mother and Princess Xin'an only came together because of the little princess. This time, it must be because of the little princess.
Looking at Ping'er's pretty appearance, her heart was ups and downs like a tide, and she finally took her hand: "Ping'er, may you remember those things you forgot?"
"I forgot why I have to think about it again. I'm living a good life." Ping'er was surprised. After thinking of the square embroidered handkerchief, he raised his head and looked at His Highness with a smile, "Who embroidered that square embroidered handkerchief?"
"It should be Mingshu." Qin Tangxi's slightly meaningful eyes slowly fell on the brocade tent.
Maybe Mingshu is not Mingshu anymore, why does she know Zhao Lan's qin, Zhao Lan's cakes, and Zhao Lan's everything, but she just doesn't know Mingshu's embroidery skills, and even accounting has the same headache as Zhao Lan.
Are the scriptures true?
Over the past few days, she has been constantly probing, but the final conclusion is too ridiculous.
How could she justify this absurdity?
People may lose their memory, why do they forget the skills they rely on for survival, and learn the piano that they have never touched?
Qin Tangxi slightly closed her phoenix eyes, her fragility lost a little bit of her previous aura, but made her feel a little more distressed. She was the one who brought Ping'er into the mansion. If she is really the little princess, it should be a good thing.
"Ping'er, send someone to visit Prince Xin'an's mansion, and say that the old matter has been settled."
Ping'er took the order and quietly exited the study.
Qin Tangxi slowly closed his eyes, as if Ping'er was the princess.
Perhaps this war is really about to start.
****
Concubine Xin'an was invited to the Princess Mansion, and it just so happened that Concubine An also came back together.
After the two entered, they each frowned. Concubine An took two quick steps, and when she approached, she saw the haggard woman who used to be a high-ranking and powerful woman. In an instant, her eyes turned cold: "Have you found the assassin?"
"Not yet, it's a dead man." Qin Tangxi smiled slightly and ordered Ping'er to move the stool.
The princess glanced at the surrounding environment. The simple bed was placed behind the study room, and the furnishings seemed a bit perfunctory. She asked curiously, "Why does Your Highness live in the study room?"
Ping'er pouted, "This is..."
"Ping'er." Qin Tangxi called her in time, and said to Wangfei: "I have a deal, Wangfei, what do you think of this girl?"
Concubine An was a little surprised, "Why are you so sure?"
"I was only about seven or eight years old when I rescued Ping'er, and it was more than eight years ago. The jade pendant on her body was taken by the Ming family. But the little girl of the Ming family gave a brocade embroidered with jade pendant to one party, and the two separated. Later, the girl from the Ming family kept looking for her, but she lost her memory, the girl from the Ming family..." Qin Tangxi paused.
What should I say later, that Ping'er was not found until death?
But Mingshu was still alive and kicking around.
She changed her words and said: "The girl from the Ming family has not found her so far, but the embroidered handkerchief is the proof, and the jade pendant is also on the way to find it. But Ping'er suffered from a high fever and lost his memory, the princess can ask the doctor to take her for treatment."
Ping'er's eyes widened in shock, and she pursed her lips slightly, "I don't want to leave Your Highness."
"The prince's mansion is not far from the princess' mansion, so you can come here often." Qin Tangxi smiled slightly, and the feeling of vicissitudes and powerlessness penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
She was not sure, but one of the two little girls must be the little princess of Xin'an Palace. It should have been confirmed that it was Ping'er, but Ming's mother's attitude towards Mingshu was a little strange.
Ping'er didn't have much reaction, Princess Xin'an's eyes filled with tears, and she cried while pulling Ping'er.
Concubine An subconsciously glanced at her daughter, who looked dodged, and she swallowed the words immediately.
Concubine Xin'an had a daughter, so happy she hugged her into her arms, Qin Tangxi's pale face became even uglier, covered her lips and coughed twice, Concubine An couldn't help but pat her on the back.
"Princess, why don't you let Ping'er go back to the mansion with you first, and find a doctor to treat her well, I'm a little tired."
The eldest princess's expression was extremely bad, she lost her luster by looking at everyone, her facial features were twisted in pain, Princess Xin'an gave a few words of comfort and led Ping'er away.
Concubine An was reluctant to let go of her daughter, so she sent someone to send the princess off, but stayed by herself.
Qin Tangxi didn't have enough breath, her breathing was a little rough, her eyes were particularly sore, she opened her eyes and closed them again, thinking of her mother still alive, she persisted in opening her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Concubine An didn't give her time to breathe, and asked directly: "Is the girl from the Ming family Mingshu?"
If it wasn't for Mingshu, she wouldn't have searched so quickly. It took her several years, and Qin Tangxi found it in half a month, which was amazing.
"Well, it's Mingshu." Qin Tangxi sighed, but she still couldn't hide it from her mother.
She was a little dazed, feeling uneasy in a trance.
Concubine An sneered: "Ping'er doesn't remember, you are sure it is her and not Mingshu. I see that the Ming family's family background is not bad, and they will definitely not be sold to the point of selling their sons and daughters."
"Mother..." Qin Tangxi hesitated to speak.
"Qin Tangxi, if you say your thoughts are simple, it's confusing the royal blood, and if you say it's complicated, it's just that you want to be with the little girl, but you should find out, otherwise you will feel uneasy." Dowager An reminded kindly.
Qin Tangxi's eyes were dazed, so what if she asked the Ming family and got a definite answer, but she was so confused.
Besides, Ping'er may not necessarily compete with His Majesty for the throne.
Princess Xin'an needs her daughter's comfort, Ping'er gets the glory and wealth and also has her mother's care, Mingshu will be happy in the princess mansion, what's wrong?
Ask yourself, she is selfish.
"Mother, you said that people are selfish."
"You thought this way, you should sit in that position yourself. What Lord Xin Guo taught you is useless. If he is shrewd and ends up being killed all over the house, it is also my fault." Concubine An twisted her face. With a slap in the face.
Qin Tangxi fell silent, and chose to forget about the letter. It was in everyone's interest to forget it like this.
The room suddenly became quiet, and Concubine An said again: "Since you have made a decision, you should do it. If you find out about Ming's family, you can't hide these things after all, unless the matter is what you think."
"I know, thank you mother for reminding me." Qin Tangxi opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear.
****
After leaving the Yamen, the little girl did not come back, so Qin Tangxi sent someone to look for her, but she was taken away by Princess Kangping for a banquet again.
At Haishi, the little girl came back drunk, and when she climbed onto the bed, she heard the sound of the door opening. She turned her head to see that His Highness had come down.
She paused, thinking about sinking as if she couldn't control herself, and her whole body fell down with a bang.
Qin Tangxi was amused, dismissed the maid, and walked over by herself: "Mingshu, where did you come from?"
The little girl changed her clothes, the white sun was an official robe, but this time it was a skirt.
The skirt fits well, and the lapel at the waist is also pretty. The light blue color is dotted with moon-white brocade, and the hem is like undulating sea water, sparkling in the dim light.
Kang Ping was against her, so he was willing to spend money.
The little girl fell on the couch and wriggled like a big bug. She twisted her body and then slowly got up. She narrowed her lacquered fox eyes slightly, and pretended to be mysterious: "The county magistrate can't say anything."
"Are you listening to me or her?" Qin Tangxi sneered.
The little girl immediately stated: "I will listen to Your Highness."
Qin Tangxi: "Where did you go today?"
The little girl bit her lower lip, her calf trembled on the bed, and she raised her thin neck: "Huafang."
Sure enough, I didn't go to any good place.Qin Tangxi guessed a little bit that Kang Ping was in charge of the household department, and he was able to handle affairs in Beijing with ease, and most of the affairs above the bureaucracy were related to romance.
"What did you do on the boat?"
Hearing this, the little girl trembled, but His Highness was not angry, she frightened herself, and cried: "Drink."
"If you have the guts to do something, you should have the guts to continue." Qin Tangxi glanced at her, rubbed her fleshy right wrist with his left hand, and said coldly, "Why are you crying?"
The little girl was dizzy, and her head was so heavy that she couldn't support its strength, so she fell crookedly.
The drunken appearance was a little less calm than usual, with a naive look, but a sense of coquettishness, Qin Tangxi leaned over, staring at the corners of her delicate lips.
"Little thing, I haven't settled accounts with you yet?"
Mingshu was buried in the quilt, her legs swung like paddling water, she successfully stuffed her feet into the quilt, and then started to work hard with both hands.
In front of His Highness, he stuffed his whole body into the quilt. Finally, he showed a small head and shook his Highness: "No, I'll give you a kiss, and we'll settle the matter, okay?"
The little thing's words were like a layer of boiling oil poured on the fire, Qin Tangxi felt a burst of anger, "Who taught you?"
After Mingshu entered the Hualou, she was given her name, and the manager didn't dare to let her go out to meet people easily, so she just practiced dancing on weekdays. Obviously, these words were not heard at this time.
The person hiding under the blanket rubbed his head, and after a while, he muttered a name: "Qin Jianhan..."
Qin Tangxi was obviously taken aback, and didn't respond for a long while. He glanced at her indifferently, and finally left the bedroom lonely without saying a word.
Mingshu stayed up all night until dawn, almost missed the time, and hurried to the household department to work as an errand.
The Lord of Kangping County took her outside to check the accounts today, and when he saw that she didn't wake up, he immediately laughed and said, "Didn't sleep last night?"
Ming Shu didn't understand, and after tidying up her clothes, she asked about the business: "Where are you going to check the accounts today?"
"Going to the palace, the queen mother said that the accounts are wrong, let us go and have a look. Those people are too timid to go, so you just follow me." Kang Ping suppressed his smile, and reminded him kindly after thinking of the emperor's concubine. Mingshu: "Don't raise your head indiscriminately after entering the palace, the queen mother is not a good person."
"I know." Ming Shu remembered it in her heart.
Kang Ping reminded her again: "The empress dowager and concubine in the harem don't deal with each other very much on weekdays, so be careful."
"Okay." Mingshu knew this well. After all, Qin Jianhan was a burden to the emperor, and would be useless after falling out with the Princess Mansion.
After taking care of themselves, the two boarded the carriage together, and the carriage walked slowly towards the palace.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Kang Ping was in front, leading Ming Shu with a cold expression.
After arriving at the Empress Dowager's palace, Kang Ping went in alone, leaving Ming Shu outside.
Before leaving, Kang Ping told her: "Go to the side room to drink tea and wait for me to come out."
Xiao Nei approached and welcomed the young adult from the household department into a side room for guests.
Mingshu had a slight impression of this place. The queen mother only wanted to see the county magistrate, and she didn't want to waste her words on her villain.
The side room is not big, and you can see everything at a glance when you enter it. The waiter thoughtfully sent a cup of tea.
It was a long journey from the palace gate to the Empress Dowager's palace, Ming Shu had long been thirsty, recalled something, put the tea back in its original place, and sat in her seat as if loose.
There are only a few rosewood chairs in the room, and simply sitting is better than blowing cold wind outside.
Mingshu didn't know how long she had been waiting, she was drowsy, when footsteps came from outside, she woke up immediately.
He trotted to the window, and saw a familiar figure through the gap.
Qin Jianhan is wearing a dazzling palace attire, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and the appearance of the concubine is also very good-looking. If she used to be a compliment, but now she sees the urge to strangle her to death, but the enemy is strong and we are few. She's not going to be head-to-head.
Panting heavily, Qin Jianhan stopped the eldest princess, "Auntie, I'll send someone to the house to look for you, but you didn't answer me no matter what."
The eldest princess was tall and tall, standing under the deep wall with a graceful and moving posture, Mingshu looked at it with crooked eyebrows.
"There is no relationship between you and Gu. Why should I return you? On the contrary, the noble concubine stopped Gu. If it gets to the ears of Yu Shi, it will only be assumed that Gu has colluded with the harem. At that time, you will lose face and Gu will want it. "Qin Tangxi's eyes were cold and his tone was cold.
Hearing the unfeeling words, Qin Jianhan's heart turned ninety cents cold, but the Eldest Princess is so powerful that His Majesty does not dare to confront him head-on at this time, so she dare not offend at will.
"My aunt still has a relationship with me because of Lan'er. Lan'er has been spoiled by you. I can't persuade you to do things yourself. She felt guilty in the end..."
She hesitated to speak, her eyes were red, and she felt a little pitiful for herself.
Then Qin Tangxi is not a fool, if he believed in such a joke, he would not be able to live today, he was unwilling to give him a look in disgust, he raised his head and stared at the blue sky, "Gu knows best how she died, the noble concubine chose her own path You should just go on by yourself, and if you think about turning around again, you won’t be afraid that Lan’er’s soul will find you? When you wake up in the middle of the night, have you ever dreamed of the girl who was with you as a childhood sweetheart? Have you ever dreamed that she is infatuated with you? It came up with her dead body. Qin Jianhan, you come to Gu at this time and say that she committed suicide in shame, and you really treat Gu as a three-year-old child."
Qin Jianhan was terrified in her heart, she clenched her cuffs tightly with both hands, her teeth were trembling with these words, she tried hard to maintain her glamorous appearance, "Auntie, she really committed suicide by herself, ashamed of Xin Guogong In the end, I found out that my father had betrayed the country, and I felt very sad, saying that it was difficult to face your love."
"You, you should trust me, I was brought up by you..."
With a crisp snap, the bird perched on the branch fluttered its wings in fright and flew away quickly.
Qin Tangxi covered her cheeks and looked at the eldest princess who withdrew her hand in disbelief, "You hit me..."
"Foul words." Qin Tangxi glanced at her indifferently, and walked away.
When she walked under the eaves of the corridor, she found that the window was open. She glanced slightly, and when she saw a pair of bright and penetrating eyes, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
After Mingshu was found eavesdropping, she was afraid that she would be beaten too, so she quickly closed the window.
After closing the window, he unconsciously patted himself on the chest. The way His Highness beat someone was so beautiful.
Qin Tangxi who was outside the house didn't pay much attention, he lifted his feet and left Ci'an Palace, and only after he left the palace gate did he ask the servant: "Who else came to Ci'an Palace today?"
The servant said frankly: "There is also the head of Kangping County of the Ministry of Households and a head of the Ming Dynasty."
Qin Tangxi stood at the gate of the palace and paused slightly, said: "Call Master Ming and say that I want to see her alone."
The servant didn't find it strange, and ran to the side room as soon as he turned his footsteps.
Ming Shu trotted out, rolled her eyes around, walked quickly to His Highness, and saluted carefully: "Your Highness."
Qin Tangxi glanced at her lightly: "Is eavesdropping interesting?"
"It's more interesting to peek." Mingshu smiled flatteringly, and reached out to grab her cuff.
Qin Tangxi ignored her flattery, put his hands behind his back, and said: "If you come back late tonight, don't sleep tonight, and don't want to lose your waist."
Ming Shu shuddered all over, felt a shadow from lower back for a long time, nodded slowly: "Understood, will His Highness go back to the bedroom tonight?"
"Go back, or you'll be lazy." Qin Tangxi turned and left, leaving Mingshu stamping on the spot alone.
Your Highness is so annoying.
Not long after, the Lord Kangping withdrew from the palace with a gloomy face.
Mingshu was unhappy but still thinking about serious matters, and asked, "Is the Queen Mother embarrassing you?"
"The accounts don't match. You should go back to the household department to find Chen Dan to compare the accounts first." Kang Ping was so worried that he broke into a cold sweat after remembering what the queen mother said, and walked towards the palace where the eldest princess was in charge.
Unexpectedly, she went two steps late, and the emperor went in one step ahead of her, so she had to wait outside.
In the hall, the little emperor was sitting on the position of the eldest princess, playing with her brush in his hand, his eyes hanging upside down, and said: "I heard that Princess Xin'an has found her daughter?"
"Your Majesty's news is really fast." Qin Tangxi praised without distraction, his eyes fell on the emperor's cold eyebrows, and he let out a long breath.
The emperor's mind was obviously confused. After facing more and more difficult problems, he wanted to come to the eldest princess to try it out. He opened a reviewed memorabilia, and the eldest princess's cursive handwriting was exposed in front of his eyes.
Women don't like cursive script, they love beautiful small characters, but the eldest princess is an exception. Ever since the emperor was sensible, the eldest princess loves to learn cursive script.
The cursive script is just as the name suggests, and the handwriting is wildly cursive. The emperor took a few more glances before remembering today's purpose, and continued: "I am no exception to the things that the whole court knows. The eldest princess remembers what my father said before he died."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never become emperor on my own." Qin Tangxi said indifferently.
"Sister answered so quickly that I couldn't believe it. How does Princess Xin'an's daughter look like?" The emperor smiled lightly and refused to budge, and said, "You don't know how, but the princess who got back is you and me. My cousin, sister, have you never thought about changing the lord?"
Qin Tangxi smiled lightly, staring at the emperor's face as if watching a joke, "Your Majesty is obedient, but my minister will not."
"Be obedient..." The emperor gritted his teeth, and one sentence almost stepped on her self-esteem. She is the emperor, how could she listen to a minister, she said angrily: "Qin Tangxi, I am the emperor."
"Your Majesty, I said that you are the emperor if you are obedient. If you are not obedient, I can avoid you. The case of the Lord Xinguo's mansion is that you forced the minister to the point of no return. What a hero Xin Guogong was when he assisted the late emperor to ascend the throne. The late emperor Bestowing titles, relatives believe in them, and make the ministers treat them well. If you don’t listen to the late emperor’s will, the ministers can replace you with the late emperor.”
The words were very heartless and shocked the little emperor, "Qin Tangxi, you dare to say outrageous things, it's simply presumptuous."
"Presumptuousness is presumptuous. Your Majesty breaks the contract first. It's all for me to follow the example. It's human nature for me to learn from the king."
Qin Tangxi was unhurried, and didn't care about the emperor's words at all, and even threatened her.
The little emperor was furious, "You, you really don't know how to repent, aren't you afraid of retribution on the princess?"
Qin Tangxi's weakness is Princess An.
Qin Tangxi smiled lightly: "If a minister is not an emperor, he has nothing to do with the concubine, but your majesty, what do you mean by talking about the concubine again and again?"
"Zhen, I'm reminding you kindly, don't forget your oath." The emperor walked away angrily.
Qin Tangxi breathed a sigh of relief, walked back to his seat and sat down.
After a while, Kang Ping walked in, "Does Your Highness want to vindicate the government of Xin Guo?"
Qin Tangxi fell silent, his eyes flickered with hesitation, if he really wanted to reverse the case, the letter would definitely be involved, and in this case, it was better not to reverse the case.
"Why are you here?"
"The Queen Mother just wanted to win me over when she saw me."
Qin Tangxi said: "You can figure it out yourself."
"Is the Princess of Xin'an Prince's Mansion real?" Kang Ping still didn't believe it.
"Really, by the way, there is a case in Jianghuai, where a ship of silver was stolen. You have time to confront the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Qin Tangxi took out a copy of the official document and handed it to Kang Ping.
Seeing that she didn't want to say any more, Kang Ping had no choice but to quiet down, took the documents and went to the Ministry of Punishment.
****
It was getting darker and later, and the days were getting longer.
When Qin Tangxi returned to the mansion, she still didn't see Ming Shu, so she frowned and asked the maid: "Has she not come back yet?"
The maid shook her head: "No."
Qin Tangxi stepped into the bedroom, but saw the pearl hairpin quietly placed on the table
It just so happened that hurried footsteps came from outside, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm back."
The sound is like a silver bell, loud and clear.
Qin Tangxi slightly bent the corners of her lips, and turned around with a cold face.
Mingshu's heart skipped a beat in fright, she came back quite early today, glanced at His Highness, and said cautiously: "I came back very early."
After finishing speaking, she saw the pearl hairpin in her hand, and said in a daze, "Your Highness, who is making you unhappy again?"
"The pearl hairpin is not bad." Qin Tangxi threw it to her directly, and turned to leave.
The author has something to say: Ming Shu:? ? ?
