Raised baby is reborn
Chapter 63 Waiting
When Shixing yelled for the third time, there was a sound of going downstairs.
The dark stairs creaked, she waited quietly, standing here felt gloomy and cold, an inexplicable coldness surrounded her.
"Why is the concubine looking for me?"
The voice was as cold as ice, and Shixing's heart jumped in fright, but when he looked up, he saw that the eldest princess had arrived at some time.She patted her chest to comfort herself, and replied: "The concubine called to ask you to go back to the house, saying that there is something important to do."
"What is the important thing?"
The emperor's voice echoed in the warm pavilion, pushing the originally chilled atmosphere into the ice cave.
Sensing the displeasure of the two masters, Shi Xing replied bravely: "The concubine did not say anything, the Queen Mother Sun invites you to have dinner together."
Mingshu walked down the stairs slowly, her eyebrows and eyes were low, her lips were rosy and stained with luster, and she asked displeasedly, "Did the two of them agree?"
Shi Xing didn't dare to answer, but came to report that the concubine did indeed come out of the Queen Mother Sun's Qing'an Palace, if she said there was nothing tricky, she wouldn't believe it.
Concubine Toffee and Empress Dowager Sun's sister-in-law have a good relationship, and Concubine Toffee often goes to Qing'an Palace to talk when she comes back.
She didn't dare to answer, and after a while, the emperor snorted softly, "Go back to Queen Mother Sun, I will stay in the Nuan Pavilion today."
"I want to go back to my residence, what are you doing here?" Qin Tangxi's eyes showed helplessness, and the little girl's temper became worse and worse.In the past, he was docile and soft, and listened to what he said, but now he will turn his face when things go wrong.
The emperor's breath is strong, but it also makes people more headache.
Mingshu raised her hand to touch the collarbone bitten by her, and muttered in her mouth: "You bit me eleven bites, and you will definitely get it back in the future."
"You have no chance." Qin Tangxi looked at her generously, the corners of his lips were pursed, and there was still a taste of Ming Shu in his mouth.
The two separated at the entrance of the Nuan Pavilion, one south and one north, Mingshu walked towards Qing'an Palace, when Qin Tangxi arrived at the gate of the palace, she happened to see the concubine waiting for her.
The mother and daughter went home together.
The Qing'an Palace also had a warm and warm scene. After Mingshu arrived, the Empress Dowager Sun sent someone to serve tea, and then dragged her to talk about family matters and interesting things about Qinhuai.
Ming Shu listened, and did not forget to ask about the Sun family: "Mother, do you want to take your uncles to Beijing?"
"No need, they are doing well." Queen Mother Sun directly refused.
Mingshu looked at her face and said kindly: "You think they are doing well, maybe they want to come to Luoyang, and you are alone, they come and walk around, you will be happier."
"You want to pick them up?" Queen Mother Sun looked at her.
"Don't you want to?"
"I really don't want to, Mingshu, do you still have resentment towards the Ming family?" Queen Mother Sun asked back.
"Don't complain, each is his own master. I am not a child of the Ming family. Their actions are still reasonable. The Sun family treated you badly?" Ming Shu became suspicious. He didn't mention anything about the matter, let alone the reward, and he didn't even see the reward.
It is said that the mother's family is Tweeted, but Queen Mother Sun is just the opposite.
She said again: "The Empress Dowager Wu also has the father Rongchang Hou, don't you think about it?"
"I don't want to, let's eat first." Queen Mother Sun waved her hand and refused to mention it.
Mingshu had no choice but to give up and follow her to have dinner.

Chujiu has a bad temper, and he doesn't want to talk to strangers when he sees them. When he meets Zhao Jingchu, he twists his buttocks and turns his back to her.
Zhao Jingchu patiently went to feed some food, and slowly stroked Chu Jiu's feathers with her white fingertips, "Chu Jiu, Chu Jiu, don't you want to eat some?"
Concubine An was sitting on one side holding the account book, and when she saw something wrong, she subconsciously said, "Are you still sending money to the Hu family?"
"A few days ago, the Hu family came to beg." Qin Tangxi said lightly.
Zhao Jingchu, who was forgotten by the two, turned her head to look at Chu Jiu after glancing back at the eldest princess.
Concubine An said: "Ten thousand taels, you are generous."
"This is the last time."
Concubine An didn't ask any more questions, and after putting the account book aside, she said, "Miss Zhao is going back home today?"
Zhao Jingchu trembled when she heard the words, slowly straightened up, and shyly said: "The Empress Dowager ordered the servants to stay here for a while."
"Alright." Concubine An nodded and waved at her: "The ninth day."
Zhao Jingchu sent the bird cage over, glanced at the silent eldest princess from the corner of her eye, and blushed again.
"Ninth day, ninth day, go back to the house with me tonight?" Concubine An took melon seeds to coax the ninth day.
Chu Jiu flapped his wings, turned his back to her, and squeaked at Qin Tangxi twice.Concubine An said: "Then I'll bring you back to the house and let the maidservant feed you something so you don't starve."
"Understood." Qin Tangxi agreed, and went to carry Chu Jiu back to the house in person.
After watching her leave, Zhao Jingchu was inexplicably flustered, the eldest princess ignored her, how could she please her.
Gritting her teeth, she knelt down towards the concubine, "Concubine, please show Jingchu the way?"
"Ming Lu..." Concubine An sighed for a long time, facing Empress Dowager Sun's persistence, there was nothing she could do. All the problems were very difficult, so she had to take one step at a time.She looked at the girl in front of her, "You also saw that the eldest princess's house is deserted, and there is no one else but you. If you regret it, you can go back, and if you don't regret it, you can stay. Bing, let's see if you can warm it up. I know you want to ask her what she likes, but actually, I don't know either, so you can figure it out on your own."
After finishing speaking, he also left, leaving Zhao Jingchu kneeling alone.
After a long time, she cried aloud and tried her best to come to the eldest princess's mansion, but she never thought that the eldest princess was pure-hearted and had no desires of ordinary people at all.
After crying for a while, she got up by herself, cleaned up her makeup, let out a deep breath, and the speed of her breathing slowed down.
Now that you're here, be prepared.

Even deeper, the light in the study was still on, Zhao Hui said carefully: "According to your order, the younger one has been exploring for a long time by the Qinhuai River, but there was no movement at first, and later the Tianli religion recruited people, and the younger one went in Yes. After entering, I found that the Tianli Sect is a member of King Chu Xiang’s rebellion against the party. The Tianli Sect not only took root in Qinhuai, but even has people in Luoyang. I heard that some courtiers are from Tianli, and even high-ranking officials.”
"Senior official?" Qin Tangxi inexplicably thought of Duke Xin, and asked, "Do you have a name?"
"The little one hasn't been found out yet. I came to Luoyang this time to pack up my itinerary. Someone will come to Luoyang to do business in the near future." Zhao Hui replied, taking out a letter from his cuff, "This is the temporary residence address. There is no one in Luoyang City. They are the sub-rudders of the Tianli Sect, they are going here as if they are the sub-helmsmen here."
Luoyang was the imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the Tianli Sect did not dare to look at the court's eyes, so it has been delayed until now.
He added: "Last year, the Tianli Sect scooped up a lot of weapons, food and grass in a mountain, which brought great convenience to their affairs."
Qin Tangxi understood that it was her arrangement, and it would be easier to do things by giving them some sweets. She glanced at the address and pressed the letter under the document, and continued: "Keep staring, I'll send someone to talk to you, Don't come to the princess mansion if there is no serious matter."
Zhao Hui wrote them down one by one, and said a few more words before leaving.
Qin Tangxi stayed in the study alone and continued to look at the address. There is nothing special about the residential area in the north of the city.There are many people in the dwellings, and there are many secrets, unlike the south of the city, where officials live in groups, and each house is extremely guarded.
Mou's eyes, who were staring at the address, gradually turned dark, and there was a faint flash of light, which was cold.
After a while, Qin Tangxi got up and went back to the bedroom.
The maidservant was carrying a lantern in front of her, and the journey was uneventful, but when she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw a swaying shadow.
Qin Tangxi stopped in her tracks, and the shadow approached slowly, saluting to her: "Your Highness, I have made some soup, but my eyesight is exhausted."
The frail and bright girl bowed her head timidly, not even daring to raise her head. Qin Tangxi somehow thought of Ming Shu, the same gesture was always unforgettable.
Her heart softened for a moment, so she was picked up by someone, and said: "It's getting late, go back and rest." After speaking, she lifted her foot and left.
Seeing this, Zhao Jingchu boldly followed up two steps, "Your Highness."
Qin Tangxi followed and stopped, "Miss Zhao, you were arranged by the queen mother, so it's not easy for you to say anything, but I only give you three words, knowing how to measure."
"Your servant understands." Disappointed, Zhao Jingchu said softly with grievance in her voice, "The Empress Dowager Sun said that if I enter the mansion, I will belong to His Highness."
"Innocent and free, you are your own." Qin Tangxi refused coldly.
Zhao Jingchu's figure swayed, her cheeks were pale, her white teeth were biting her cherry red lower lip, she couldn't speak aggrievedly, her breath was heavy, and when the Elder Duke took the initiative to walk, she walked quickly and said, "Jingchu can wait for Your Highness."
Unmoved, Qin Tangxi lifted her feet into the room, and just as she stood still, Zhao Jingchu's voice sounded again: "Jingchu can wait for Your Highness."
Adding a little irritability for no reason, she turned around to reprimand, but there was no one, and another sentence came from beside her: "Jingchu can wait for Your Highness."
Follow the sound from Qintangxi, it's the ninth day in the birdcage.
On weekdays, let me say it or not, and learn what is not good. If Mingshu hears it, the sky will be turned upside down.
"Chu Jiu." Qin Tangxi approached step by step, picked up the bird food at the side to coax her, Chu Jiu still pointed her butt at her.
She was helpless, and ordered: "Go get the dagger."

After going to court the next day, Mingshu changed her clothes and went to Wenyuan Pavilion, the largest book pavilion in the palace.
Wenyuan Pavilion is where the founding emperor collected the only copies of documents from all over the world. It is for the learning of future generations, and non-royal children are not allowed to enter here.
Ming Shu went in after familiarizing herself with the road. When she was a child, she came here several times with the eldest princess. The books here are disorganized. Compared with the warm pavilion, they are miscellaneous and useless.
Miscellaneous books can see different contents. She is very curious about the case of King Chu Xiang's treason.
These have become her curiosity.
The emperor entered Wenyuan Pavilion, and the eldest princess also left after handling the government affairs in her hands.
After entering Wenyuan Pavilion, I saw a small figure crouching in the dark, holding a thick book in his hand, reading it with gusto.
Qin Tangxi approached quietly, and found that it was a history book, and said, "The books in the Nuan Pavilion are not enough for you to read?"
"Huh?" Mingshu looked up inexplicably, but seeing her white and gentle face, she immediately pulled the person to sit down excitedly, spread the book she got in front of her, and said happily: "Look, I found this place , King Qin Zheng of Chuxiang learned martial arts at the age of three, and at the age of five he could compete with adults and even beat the opponent."
Qin Tangxi frowned: "The loser must have lied."
"You still look at this. King Chu Xiang went to the military camp to practice at the age of ten, and when he returned at seventeen, he was invincible in Luoyang City." Ming Shu took a page.
Qin Tangxi said, "That's what everyone else gave in to. Don't forget that he was killed by your father."
"So what, my father is five years younger than him, and he came from behind." Mingshu said proudly, and turned another page, "Sister, his weak crown ceremony was personally organized by His Majesty Gaozong. You said that we are as close as father and son." Why did the two of you turn against each other?"
"It's all about power." Qin Tangxi looked calm.King Chu Xiang was too arrogant, young and held most of the military power in Wei, the emperor would be suspicious and jealous.Emperor Ming was like this to Duke Xin, let alone His Majesty Gaozong who had been emperor for decades.
Ming Shu made a lot of progress, and after listening to her own analysis, she said: "History books are secretive, and I'm afraid there are inside stories. Most of them are the same as my father's case. My father was arrested without a fight, but King Chu Xiang rose up to resist. It's just a pity that this pair of brothers, They went the same way."
"Sister, I want to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to reverse the case."
Qin Tangxi frowned.
"The case files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are not as complete as the ones here, and there is nothing famous about them." She refused, "Why are you investigating these things?"
"Qianzong wrote a paragraph at the back of the case. He said that a king should have a clear eye and a clear heart. Rewards and punishments should be distinguished first, and love should be avoided." Mingshu replied, holding Sister's hand, feeling in his heart. Suspicious, "Which one does love refer to?"
"Love is divided into many types, affection, family affection, friendship, and even benevolence and righteousness. Those who are emperors are not allowed to have these." Qin Tangxi said with downcast eyes.
Qian Zong also said these words to her back then, but she didn't understand until she saw the case of King Chu Xiang.Qianzong broke his brotherhood with King Xiang of Chu in exchange for the stability of the country.
Ming Shu disagreed: "Then you will become a lonely family."
"It's too cold at the heights, so you're a loner. You're still young, and you don't know that feelings are also a knife. What Emperor Ming did was not wrong, and ruthlessness is the nature of emperors."
"You have nothing against her." Ming Shu was not convinced, "What Emperor Ming did was ungrateful."
Her caressing made Qin Tangxi feel inexplicable, and said amusedly: "You don't want to imitate her, by the way, what can you see?"
"Well, it's the fault of the ministers that King Xiang of Chu held a heavy army and didn't know how to restrain himself. It's the emperor's fault that Gao Zong was afraid of being wronged. Everyone is in his position, and people's hearts are unpredictable. It's hard to say whose fault it is, but I don't think it's necessary for suspects to It is also Gaozong's fault that King Xiang of Chu holds a heavy army. He shouldn't have believed it at the beginning, and since he was suspicious, he shouldn't have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility." Ming Shu frowned.
The little girl was eloquent and her analysis was thorough. The books she had read in the past year were quite beneficial. Qin Tangxi felt a little more relieved in her eyes, "It's easy to say, but if you think about it yourself, neither of them is wrong. The only thing wrong is power. However, power deceives people, and people's hearts follow power, and if you take one wrong step, there is no turning back."
Why isn't she like this, if one step is wrong, there is no room for change, Ming Shu and her, how to untie it?
The two sat until noon, and the Empress Dowager Wu invited the emperor to the banquet, and the two went hand in hand.
****
Ci'an Palace is luxurious and exquisite, and every spring is full of fragrance.
Since Wu Fan was demoted, Empress Dowager Wu has been much quieter and rarely interfered in political affairs, but she is the mother of Emperor Ming, and the emperor should not be treated lightly, she will give whatever she wants.
After the emperor and the eldest princess went to the banquet together, the queen mother came out to greet them in person. After the two looked at each other, they went to the banquet in silence.
"I heard that Your Majesty has started to deal with the government affairs recently?" Empress Dowager Wu raised her glass to the emperor, fearing that the other party would not drink it, and said, "This is the fruit wine that Wusi paid tribute to last year. I heard that after drinking it, my mouth would be fragrant. Emperor Ming sent it to Ai's house. Here, I will let His Majesty have a taste in the near future."
Ming Shu wanted to drink, Qin Tangxi pressed her hand, and raised his glass to the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager treats you kindly, Your Majesty is not suitable for drinking, so I drank it for you."
The Empress Dowager Wu smiled kindly, "It's the same, Emperor Ming's birthday is coming soon, and Ai's family wants to live in the temple for a few days."
"If the Empress Dowager goes, I will order the Imperial Army to protect your safety." Ming Shu said with emotion.
But Qin Tangxi felt puzzled, there was no movement in Emperor Ming's birthday last year, so why is he going this year.
She continued to listen calmly.
Empress Dowager Wu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please worry."
She toasted again, and Qin Tangxi allowed Mingshu to drink.
After the guests had a good time, the emperor and the eldest princess left together, and the Empress Dowager Wu personally sent them out of Ci'an Palace. She only showed a sinister smile after the chariot disappeared.
****
After the mid-spring, it is the season of spring, the spring is strong, the flowers are blooming, and the greenery spreads over the courtyard.
Mingshu moved some potted green bamboos to the third floor and sprinkled some water every day. The green bamboos grew very fast, and in summer they were taller than her.
Also at this time, Uz envoys arrived in Luoyang.
The Minister of Honglu Temple went to meet them in person, placed the group in the post house, and held a banquet for them on a chosen day.
There were many female emperors in the Great Wei Dynasty, and women were more able to regent and enter the court. There was a faint sign of equal rights between men and women, but in Wusi, men were emperors, and women became goods in the business.
As soon as he entered Luoyang, Prince Uskanaz begged for many beauties, but Honglu Temple refused, so he made a fuss in front of the emperor.
Kanaz was furious, and chatted with the emperor for a while, his cheeks were swollen and protruding, and the veins on his forehead were blue.
The speed of the speech was too fast, and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple couldn't translate, and Ming Shu was also confused. Kanaz stood up at the last moment when he took the table, and the court officials were all shocked.
However, Ming Shu slowly calmed down, her expression stained a bit of coldness similar to Qin Tangxi, and said: "The envoy who doesn't understand the language of Wei is also embarrassing to Us, why don't I give you a chance to go back to practice, wait You can speak Dawei dialect and come back."
Kanaz immediately calmed down and stared at the emperor. The eldest princess on one side reminded: "Your majesty is a woman. I'm afraid the prince doesn't know the rules. Why don't you ask someone to teach you alone."
It was disrespectful to look directly at him, and Kanaz realized it in a moment, and immediately apologized to the emperor, and then talked about women in Dawei's words, "Our Wusi would like to exchange a good horse for your Dawei's girl."
"Go to your mother's place." Ming Shu couldn't help cursing, there was no freedom in Dawei except for the women who were sold in the flower building, and everyone else had their own rights, how could they compare with animals.
When the emperor scolded people like this, the minister of Honglu Temple was dumbfounded, and suddenly he didn't know how to translate this sentence. After a moment of stalemate, the eldest princess walked up to Kanaz and whispered a few words.
It is Uzbek.
They didn't understand, but Kanaz smiled, and the eldest princess said loudly: "Great Wei women have dignity, which is different from Wusi. Why don't we exchange pigs for your soldiers?"
"Pig? No, the soldiers are our warriors." Kanaz refused, subconsciously figured it out, and immediately waved his arms and cursed.
Mingshu was impatient and opened her mouth to say something, the eldest princess said first: "Prince Kanaz doesn't understand the customs of the Wei Dynasty, why don't you go to the posthouse to study hard, and send them back first."
Wu Sichen immediately flew into a rage, groped around his waist, and found that his knife had been removed when he entered the palace, and he was about to hit someone with a punch.
Ming Shu sat high on the dragon chair and said slowly: "I don't know the etiquette, send them back to Usi, send someone to tell their emperor, and send someone who can speak human language."
The Minister of Honglu Temple nodded immediately, and immediately took the order to repair the book.
A turmoil just passed, but Mingshu was angry and resentful, leaving behind Qin Hou and others after the court dispersed, insisting on destroying Usi.
The eldest princess first appeased the emperor: "Why bother with the people in the barren land, there are unscrupulous generals on the border, this is our shortcoming, Your Majesty should understand."
Ming Shu was short of breath for a while, she scolded Emperor Ming severely in her heart, and said: "Order the counties and counties below to recommend some good generals."
The Minister of the Ministry of War disagreed, saying: "There are good and bad generals, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find good generals for a while, so it is better to choose from aristocratic families."
The eldest princess first refused: "You and I know the character of the children of the family. First follow what your majesty said, and let all the places recommend you before choosing the best."
Minister of the Ministry of War did not dare to disobey the eldest princess' wishes, so he had to agree.
After leaving the palace, he pulled Qin Xiang and said: "The eldest princess is nothing more than worried that the military power in her hand will be dispersed by the family."
Ambitious wolf, controlling the emperor but not satisfied.
Qin Xiang glanced at him and said nothing. The relationship between the eldest princess and the new emperor is particularly close, and there will be no discord between Emperor Ming's reign so easily.
After the ministers dispersed, Mingshu was still angry and hated by Yulouchun. At this time, after hearing the envoy's words, those unbearable memories flooded into her mind, especially being forced into a desperate situation by Wu Yan.
Taking a rough breath, she got up and walked out: "I'm going to the Nuan Pavilion."
"Your Majesty." Qin Tangxi sensed that something was wrong, and the vulgar words of Chao Shang showed that her mind was wrong, and she secretly regretted her negligence towards her, so she turned around and hurriedly chased after her.
Mingshu walked quickly, and within a few steps, she opened the distance with the eldest princess.
After a few steps, Qin Tangxi could only watch the emperor's figure getting farther and farther away, her remorse enveloped her in an instant, she took a deep breath, and turned back to the Tai Chi Hall by herself.
After a while, Wen Xia was called.
Wen Xia rushed in from outside the palace, and walked into the hall cautiously, "I have seen Your Highness."
"Go to the imperial mausoleum." Qin Tangxi lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes stayed on the white paper on the case.
Two words were written on the white paper, Wu Wen.
But the two characters were forked with a Chinese ink pen.
Wen Xia understood, and immediately led the order to leave the palace, picked some experts from the princess mansion, and quietly left the city.
****
After the court meeting ended the next day, Empress Dowager Sun went out of the palace, accompanied by the imperial guards, and the emperor sent him out of the palace gate in person to show his benevolence and filial piety.
After returning to the palace, the emperor still returned to the Nuan Pavilion.
Surprisingly, the eldest princess is also on the third floor.
As Ming Shu approached, the original dark eyes slowly overflowed with a little heat, and the wrinkled eyebrows also curved slightly.
Sitting on the carpet, Qin Tangxi reached out to her, Ruyu's fingertips looked particularly slender and beautiful under the light of her lamp, "Aren't you happy?"
After seeing the tenderness on her face, Ming Shu lowered her eyes unconsciously, and sat down beside her naturally without any twists and turns.
But as soon as she sat down, Qin Tangxi stretched out his hand to embrace her like a stream of kindness, and patted her on the back lightly, "How can I coax you?"
Mingshu lowered her head and rubbed against the side of her neck. The emptiness in her heart was gradually filled. She gritted her teeth and said, "If my father is here, Uz will be destroyed."
The author has something to say: There is no catching bugs.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The dark stairs creaked, she waited quietly, standing here felt gloomy and cold, an inexplicable coldness surrounded her.
"Why is the concubine looking for me?"
The voice was as cold as ice, and Shixing's heart jumped in fright, but when he looked up, he saw that the eldest princess had arrived at some time.She patted her chest to comfort herself, and replied: "The concubine called to ask you to go back to the house, saying that there is something important to do."
"What is the important thing?"
The emperor's voice echoed in the warm pavilion, pushing the originally chilled atmosphere into the ice cave.
Sensing the displeasure of the two masters, Shi Xing replied bravely: "The concubine did not say anything, the Queen Mother Sun invites you to have dinner together."
Mingshu walked down the stairs slowly, her eyebrows and eyes were low, her lips were rosy and stained with luster, and she asked displeasedly, "Did the two of them agree?"
Shi Xing didn't dare to answer, but came to report that the concubine did indeed come out of the Queen Mother Sun's Qing'an Palace, if she said there was nothing tricky, she wouldn't believe it.
Concubine Toffee and Empress Dowager Sun's sister-in-law have a good relationship, and Concubine Toffee often goes to Qing'an Palace to talk when she comes back.
She didn't dare to answer, and after a while, the emperor snorted softly, "Go back to Queen Mother Sun, I will stay in the Nuan Pavilion today."
"I want to go back to my residence, what are you doing here?" Qin Tangxi's eyes showed helplessness, and the little girl's temper became worse and worse.In the past, he was docile and soft, and listened to what he said, but now he will turn his face when things go wrong.
The emperor's breath is strong, but it also makes people more headache.
Mingshu raised her hand to touch the collarbone bitten by her, and muttered in her mouth: "You bit me eleven bites, and you will definitely get it back in the future."
"You have no chance." Qin Tangxi looked at her generously, the corners of his lips were pursed, and there was still a taste of Ming Shu in his mouth.
The two separated at the entrance of the Nuan Pavilion, one south and one north, Mingshu walked towards Qing'an Palace, when Qin Tangxi arrived at the gate of the palace, she happened to see the concubine waiting for her.
The mother and daughter went home together.
The Qing'an Palace also had a warm and warm scene. After Mingshu arrived, the Empress Dowager Sun sent someone to serve tea, and then dragged her to talk about family matters and interesting things about Qinhuai.
Ming Shu listened, and did not forget to ask about the Sun family: "Mother, do you want to take your uncles to Beijing?"
"No need, they are doing well." Queen Mother Sun directly refused.
Mingshu looked at her face and said kindly: "You think they are doing well, maybe they want to come to Luoyang, and you are alone, they come and walk around, you will be happier."
"You want to pick them up?" Queen Mother Sun looked at her.
"Don't you want to?"
"I really don't want to, Mingshu, do you still have resentment towards the Ming family?" Queen Mother Sun asked back.
"Don't complain, each is his own master. I am not a child of the Ming family. Their actions are still reasonable. The Sun family treated you badly?" Ming Shu became suspicious. He didn't mention anything about the matter, let alone the reward, and he didn't even see the reward.
It is said that the mother's family is Tweeted, but Queen Mother Sun is just the opposite.
She said again: "The Empress Dowager Wu also has the father Rongchang Hou, don't you think about it?"
"I don't want to, let's eat first." Queen Mother Sun waved her hand and refused to mention it.
Mingshu had no choice but to give up and follow her to have dinner.

Chujiu has a bad temper, and he doesn't want to talk to strangers when he sees them. When he meets Zhao Jingchu, he twists his buttocks and turns his back to her.
Zhao Jingchu patiently went to feed some food, and slowly stroked Chu Jiu's feathers with her white fingertips, "Chu Jiu, Chu Jiu, don't you want to eat some?"
Concubine An was sitting on one side holding the account book, and when she saw something wrong, she subconsciously said, "Are you still sending money to the Hu family?"
"A few days ago, the Hu family came to beg." Qin Tangxi said lightly.
Zhao Jingchu, who was forgotten by the two, turned her head to look at Chu Jiu after glancing back at the eldest princess.
Concubine An said: "Ten thousand taels, you are generous."
"This is the last time."
Concubine An didn't ask any more questions, and after putting the account book aside, she said, "Miss Zhao is going back home today?"
Zhao Jingchu trembled when she heard the words, slowly straightened up, and shyly said: "The Empress Dowager ordered the servants to stay here for a while."
"Alright." Concubine An nodded and waved at her: "The ninth day."
Zhao Jingchu sent the bird cage over, glanced at the silent eldest princess from the corner of her eye, and blushed again.
"Ninth day, ninth day, go back to the house with me tonight?" Concubine An took melon seeds to coax the ninth day.
Chu Jiu flapped his wings, turned his back to her, and squeaked at Qin Tangxi twice.Concubine An said: "Then I'll bring you back to the house and let the maidservant feed you something so you don't starve."
"Understood." Qin Tangxi agreed, and went to carry Chu Jiu back to the house in person.
After watching her leave, Zhao Jingchu was inexplicably flustered, the eldest princess ignored her, how could she please her.
Gritting her teeth, she knelt down towards the concubine, "Concubine, please show Jingchu the way?"
"Ming Lu..." Concubine An sighed for a long time, facing Empress Dowager Sun's persistence, there was nothing she could do. All the problems were very difficult, so she had to take one step at a time.She looked at the girl in front of her, "You also saw that the eldest princess's house is deserted, and there is no one else but you. If you regret it, you can go back, and if you don't regret it, you can stay. Bing, let's see if you can warm it up. I know you want to ask her what she likes, but actually, I don't know either, so you can figure it out on your own."
After finishing speaking, he also left, leaving Zhao Jingchu kneeling alone.
After a long time, she cried aloud and tried her best to come to the eldest princess's mansion, but she never thought that the eldest princess was pure-hearted and had no desires of ordinary people at all.
After crying for a while, she got up by herself, cleaned up her makeup, let out a deep breath, and the speed of her breathing slowed down.
Now that you're here, be prepared.

Even deeper, the light in the study was still on, Zhao Hui said carefully: "According to your order, the younger one has been exploring for a long time by the Qinhuai River, but there was no movement at first, and later the Tianli religion recruited people, and the younger one went in Yes. After entering, I found that the Tianli Sect is a member of King Chu Xiang’s rebellion against the party. The Tianli Sect not only took root in Qinhuai, but even has people in Luoyang. I heard that some courtiers are from Tianli, and even high-ranking officials.”
"Senior official?" Qin Tangxi inexplicably thought of Duke Xin, and asked, "Do you have a name?"
"The little one hasn't been found out yet. I came to Luoyang this time to pack up my itinerary. Someone will come to Luoyang to do business in the near future." Zhao Hui replied, taking out a letter from his cuff, "This is the temporary residence address. There is no one in Luoyang City. They are the sub-rudders of the Tianli Sect, they are going here as if they are the sub-helmsmen here."
Luoyang was the imperial capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the Tianli Sect did not dare to look at the court's eyes, so it has been delayed until now.
He added: "Last year, the Tianli Sect scooped up a lot of weapons, food and grass in a mountain, which brought great convenience to their affairs."
Qin Tangxi understood that it was her arrangement, and it would be easier to do things by giving them some sweets. She glanced at the address and pressed the letter under the document, and continued: "Keep staring, I'll send someone to talk to you, Don't come to the princess mansion if there is no serious matter."
Zhao Hui wrote them down one by one, and said a few more words before leaving.
Qin Tangxi stayed in the study alone and continued to look at the address. There is nothing special about the residential area in the north of the city.There are many people in the dwellings, and there are many secrets, unlike the south of the city, where officials live in groups, and each house is extremely guarded.
Mou's eyes, who were staring at the address, gradually turned dark, and there was a faint flash of light, which was cold.
After a while, Qin Tangxi got up and went back to the bedroom.
The maidservant was carrying a lantern in front of her, and the journey was uneventful, but when she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw a swaying shadow.
Qin Tangxi stopped in her tracks, and the shadow approached slowly, saluting to her: "Your Highness, I have made some soup, but my eyesight is exhausted."
The frail and bright girl bowed her head timidly, not even daring to raise her head. Qin Tangxi somehow thought of Ming Shu, the same gesture was always unforgettable.
Her heart softened for a moment, so she was picked up by someone, and said: "It's getting late, go back and rest." After speaking, she lifted her foot and left.
Seeing this, Zhao Jingchu boldly followed up two steps, "Your Highness."
Qin Tangxi followed and stopped, "Miss Zhao, you were arranged by the queen mother, so it's not easy for you to say anything, but I only give you three words, knowing how to measure."
"Your servant understands." Disappointed, Zhao Jingchu said softly with grievance in her voice, "The Empress Dowager Sun said that if I enter the mansion, I will belong to His Highness."
"Innocent and free, you are your own." Qin Tangxi refused coldly.
Zhao Jingchu's figure swayed, her cheeks were pale, her white teeth were biting her cherry red lower lip, she couldn't speak aggrievedly, her breath was heavy, and when the Elder Duke took the initiative to walk, she walked quickly and said, "Jingchu can wait for Your Highness."
Unmoved, Qin Tangxi lifted her feet into the room, and just as she stood still, Zhao Jingchu's voice sounded again: "Jingchu can wait for Your Highness."
Adding a little irritability for no reason, she turned around to reprimand, but there was no one, and another sentence came from beside her: "Jingchu can wait for Your Highness."
Follow the sound from Qintangxi, it's the ninth day in the birdcage.
On weekdays, let me say it or not, and learn what is not good. If Mingshu hears it, the sky will be turned upside down.
"Chu Jiu." Qin Tangxi approached step by step, picked up the bird food at the side to coax her, Chu Jiu still pointed her butt at her.
She was helpless, and ordered: "Go get the dagger."

After going to court the next day, Mingshu changed her clothes and went to Wenyuan Pavilion, the largest book pavilion in the palace.
Wenyuan Pavilion is where the founding emperor collected the only copies of documents from all over the world. It is for the learning of future generations, and non-royal children are not allowed to enter here.
Ming Shu went in after familiarizing herself with the road. When she was a child, she came here several times with the eldest princess. The books here are disorganized. Compared with the warm pavilion, they are miscellaneous and useless.
Miscellaneous books can see different contents. She is very curious about the case of King Chu Xiang's treason.
These have become her curiosity.
The emperor entered Wenyuan Pavilion, and the eldest princess also left after handling the government affairs in her hands.
After entering Wenyuan Pavilion, I saw a small figure crouching in the dark, holding a thick book in his hand, reading it with gusto.
Qin Tangxi approached quietly, and found that it was a history book, and said, "The books in the Nuan Pavilion are not enough for you to read?"
"Huh?" Mingshu looked up inexplicably, but seeing her white and gentle face, she immediately pulled the person to sit down excitedly, spread the book she got in front of her, and said happily: "Look, I found this place , King Qin Zheng of Chuxiang learned martial arts at the age of three, and at the age of five he could compete with adults and even beat the opponent."
Qin Tangxi frowned: "The loser must have lied."
"You still look at this. King Chu Xiang went to the military camp to practice at the age of ten, and when he returned at seventeen, he was invincible in Luoyang City." Ming Shu took a page.
Qin Tangxi said, "That's what everyone else gave in to. Don't forget that he was killed by your father."
"So what, my father is five years younger than him, and he came from behind." Mingshu said proudly, and turned another page, "Sister, his weak crown ceremony was personally organized by His Majesty Gaozong. You said that we are as close as father and son." Why did the two of you turn against each other?"
"It's all about power." Qin Tangxi looked calm.King Chu Xiang was too arrogant, young and held most of the military power in Wei, the emperor would be suspicious and jealous.Emperor Ming was like this to Duke Xin, let alone His Majesty Gaozong who had been emperor for decades.
Ming Shu made a lot of progress, and after listening to her own analysis, she said: "History books are secretive, and I'm afraid there are inside stories. Most of them are the same as my father's case. My father was arrested without a fight, but King Chu Xiang rose up to resist. It's just a pity that this pair of brothers, They went the same way."
"Sister, I want to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to reverse the case."
Qin Tangxi frowned.
"The case files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are not as complete as the ones here, and there is nothing famous about them." She refused, "Why are you investigating these things?"
"Qianzong wrote a paragraph at the back of the case. He said that a king should have a clear eye and a clear heart. Rewards and punishments should be distinguished first, and love should be avoided." Mingshu replied, holding Sister's hand, feeling in his heart. Suspicious, "Which one does love refer to?"
"Love is divided into many types, affection, family affection, friendship, and even benevolence and righteousness. Those who are emperors are not allowed to have these." Qin Tangxi said with downcast eyes.
Qian Zong also said these words to her back then, but she didn't understand until she saw the case of King Chu Xiang.Qianzong broke his brotherhood with King Xiang of Chu in exchange for the stability of the country.
Ming Shu disagreed: "Then you will become a lonely family."
"It's too cold at the heights, so you're a loner. You're still young, and you don't know that feelings are also a knife. What Emperor Ming did was not wrong, and ruthlessness is the nature of emperors."
"You have nothing against her." Ming Shu was not convinced, "What Emperor Ming did was ungrateful."
Her caressing made Qin Tangxi feel inexplicable, and said amusedly: "You don't want to imitate her, by the way, what can you see?"
"Well, it's the fault of the ministers that King Xiang of Chu held a heavy army and didn't know how to restrain himself. It's the emperor's fault that Gao Zong was afraid of being wronged. Everyone is in his position, and people's hearts are unpredictable. It's hard to say whose fault it is, but I don't think it's necessary for suspects to It is also Gaozong's fault that King Xiang of Chu holds a heavy army. He shouldn't have believed it at the beginning, and since he was suspicious, he shouldn't have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility." Ming Shu frowned.
The little girl was eloquent and her analysis was thorough. The books she had read in the past year were quite beneficial. Qin Tangxi felt a little more relieved in her eyes, "It's easy to say, but if you think about it yourself, neither of them is wrong. The only thing wrong is power. However, power deceives people, and people's hearts follow power, and if you take one wrong step, there is no turning back."
Why isn't she like this, if one step is wrong, there is no room for change, Ming Shu and her, how to untie it?
The two sat until noon, and the Empress Dowager Wu invited the emperor to the banquet, and the two went hand in hand.
****
Ci'an Palace is luxurious and exquisite, and every spring is full of fragrance.
Since Wu Fan was demoted, Empress Dowager Wu has been much quieter and rarely interfered in political affairs, but she is the mother of Emperor Ming, and the emperor should not be treated lightly, she will give whatever she wants.
After the emperor and the eldest princess went to the banquet together, the queen mother came out to greet them in person. After the two looked at each other, they went to the banquet in silence.
"I heard that Your Majesty has started to deal with the government affairs recently?" Empress Dowager Wu raised her glass to the emperor, fearing that the other party would not drink it, and said, "This is the fruit wine that Wusi paid tribute to last year. I heard that after drinking it, my mouth would be fragrant. Emperor Ming sent it to Ai's house. Here, I will let His Majesty have a taste in the near future."
Ming Shu wanted to drink, Qin Tangxi pressed her hand, and raised his glass to the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager treats you kindly, Your Majesty is not suitable for drinking, so I drank it for you."
The Empress Dowager Wu smiled kindly, "It's the same, Emperor Ming's birthday is coming soon, and Ai's family wants to live in the temple for a few days."
"If the Empress Dowager goes, I will order the Imperial Army to protect your safety." Ming Shu said with emotion.
But Qin Tangxi felt puzzled, there was no movement in Emperor Ming's birthday last year, so why is he going this year.
She continued to listen calmly.
Empress Dowager Wu said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please worry."
She toasted again, and Qin Tangxi allowed Mingshu to drink.
After the guests had a good time, the emperor and the eldest princess left together, and the Empress Dowager Wu personally sent them out of Ci'an Palace. She only showed a sinister smile after the chariot disappeared.
****
After the mid-spring, it is the season of spring, the spring is strong, the flowers are blooming, and the greenery spreads over the courtyard.
Mingshu moved some potted green bamboos to the third floor and sprinkled some water every day. The green bamboos grew very fast, and in summer they were taller than her.
Also at this time, Uz envoys arrived in Luoyang.
The Minister of Honglu Temple went to meet them in person, placed the group in the post house, and held a banquet for them on a chosen day.
There were many female emperors in the Great Wei Dynasty, and women were more able to regent and enter the court. There was a faint sign of equal rights between men and women, but in Wusi, men were emperors, and women became goods in the business.
As soon as he entered Luoyang, Prince Uskanaz begged for many beauties, but Honglu Temple refused, so he made a fuss in front of the emperor.
Kanaz was furious, and chatted with the emperor for a while, his cheeks were swollen and protruding, and the veins on his forehead were blue.
The speed of the speech was too fast, and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple couldn't translate, and Ming Shu was also confused. Kanaz stood up at the last moment when he took the table, and the court officials were all shocked.
However, Ming Shu slowly calmed down, her expression stained a bit of coldness similar to Qin Tangxi, and said: "The envoy who doesn't understand the language of Wei is also embarrassing to Us, why don't I give you a chance to go back to practice, wait You can speak Dawei dialect and come back."
Kanaz immediately calmed down and stared at the emperor. The eldest princess on one side reminded: "Your majesty is a woman. I'm afraid the prince doesn't know the rules. Why don't you ask someone to teach you alone."
It was disrespectful to look directly at him, and Kanaz realized it in a moment, and immediately apologized to the emperor, and then talked about women in Dawei's words, "Our Wusi would like to exchange a good horse for your Dawei's girl."
"Go to your mother's place." Ming Shu couldn't help cursing, there was no freedom in Dawei except for the women who were sold in the flower building, and everyone else had their own rights, how could they compare with animals.
When the emperor scolded people like this, the minister of Honglu Temple was dumbfounded, and suddenly he didn't know how to translate this sentence. After a moment of stalemate, the eldest princess walked up to Kanaz and whispered a few words.
It is Uzbek.
They didn't understand, but Kanaz smiled, and the eldest princess said loudly: "Great Wei women have dignity, which is different from Wusi. Why don't we exchange pigs for your soldiers?"
"Pig? No, the soldiers are our warriors." Kanaz refused, subconsciously figured it out, and immediately waved his arms and cursed.
Mingshu was impatient and opened her mouth to say something, the eldest princess said first: "Prince Kanaz doesn't understand the customs of the Wei Dynasty, why don't you go to the posthouse to study hard, and send them back first."
Wu Sichen immediately flew into a rage, groped around his waist, and found that his knife had been removed when he entered the palace, and he was about to hit someone with a punch.
Ming Shu sat high on the dragon chair and said slowly: "I don't know the etiquette, send them back to Usi, send someone to tell their emperor, and send someone who can speak human language."
The Minister of Honglu Temple nodded immediately, and immediately took the order to repair the book.
A turmoil just passed, but Mingshu was angry and resentful, leaving behind Qin Hou and others after the court dispersed, insisting on destroying Usi.
The eldest princess first appeased the emperor: "Why bother with the people in the barren land, there are unscrupulous generals on the border, this is our shortcoming, Your Majesty should understand."
Ming Shu was short of breath for a while, she scolded Emperor Ming severely in her heart, and said: "Order the counties and counties below to recommend some good generals."
The Minister of the Ministry of War disagreed, saying: "There are good and bad generals, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find good generals for a while, so it is better to choose from aristocratic families."
The eldest princess first refused: "You and I know the character of the children of the family. First follow what your majesty said, and let all the places recommend you before choosing the best."
Minister of the Ministry of War did not dare to disobey the eldest princess' wishes, so he had to agree.
After leaving the palace, he pulled Qin Xiang and said: "The eldest princess is nothing more than worried that the military power in her hand will be dispersed by the family."
Ambitious wolf, controlling the emperor but not satisfied.
Qin Xiang glanced at him and said nothing. The relationship between the eldest princess and the new emperor is particularly close, and there will be no discord between Emperor Ming's reign so easily.
After the ministers dispersed, Mingshu was still angry and hated by Yulouchun. At this time, after hearing the envoy's words, those unbearable memories flooded into her mind, especially being forced into a desperate situation by Wu Yan.
Taking a rough breath, she got up and walked out: "I'm going to the Nuan Pavilion."
"Your Majesty." Qin Tangxi sensed that something was wrong, and the vulgar words of Chao Shang showed that her mind was wrong, and she secretly regretted her negligence towards her, so she turned around and hurriedly chased after her.
Mingshu walked quickly, and within a few steps, she opened the distance with the eldest princess.
After a few steps, Qin Tangxi could only watch the emperor's figure getting farther and farther away, her remorse enveloped her in an instant, she took a deep breath, and turned back to the Tai Chi Hall by herself.
After a while, Wen Xia was called.
Wen Xia rushed in from outside the palace, and walked into the hall cautiously, "I have seen Your Highness."
"Go to the imperial mausoleum." Qin Tangxi lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes stayed on the white paper on the case.
Two words were written on the white paper, Wu Wen.
But the two characters were forked with a Chinese ink pen.
Wen Xia understood, and immediately led the order to leave the palace, picked some experts from the princess mansion, and quietly left the city.
****
After the court meeting ended the next day, Empress Dowager Sun went out of the palace, accompanied by the imperial guards, and the emperor sent him out of the palace gate in person to show his benevolence and filial piety.
After returning to the palace, the emperor still returned to the Nuan Pavilion.
Surprisingly, the eldest princess is also on the third floor.
As Ming Shu approached, the original dark eyes slowly overflowed with a little heat, and the wrinkled eyebrows also curved slightly.
Sitting on the carpet, Qin Tangxi reached out to her, Ruyu's fingertips looked particularly slender and beautiful under the light of her lamp, "Aren't you happy?"
After seeing the tenderness on her face, Ming Shu lowered her eyes unconsciously, and sat down beside her naturally without any twists and turns.
But as soon as she sat down, Qin Tangxi stretched out his hand to embrace her like a stream of kindness, and patted her on the back lightly, "How can I coax you?"
Mingshu lowered her head and rubbed against the side of her neck. The emptiness in her heart was gradually filled. She gritted her teeth and said, "If my father is here, Uz will be destroyed."
The author has something to say: There is no catching bugs.
