An old lady's life

Emperor Changping, who was separated from Mrs. Lin and King Qi, took his subordinates back to the palace. The brilliance of the setting sun reflected on the palace wall. Two rows of guards stood there neatly. The whole palace was in a state of solemnity. It's not far or close to Emperor Changping. Although Lou Gao and the others don't like to guess the emperor's mood, everyone can feel that Emperor Changping is upset.

Hao Ding greatly reduced his sense of existence, for fear of being held accountable by Emperor Changping.

Of course, it was impossible for Emperor Changping to anger his subordinates for no reason, not to mention that his subordinates had done nothing wrong. As for Hao Ding, Emperor Changping would not waste his time on this little guard.

His mood was only affected, he was thinking, why is the royal family not as harmonious as ordinary people?Isn't the royal family the representative of the world?No matter what aspect should go ahead of the people.

However, royal family affection is always a luxury. Let alone his generation, the brothers also competed like black corns. In the end, he came out on top and sat on the supreme position.

The iron throne, the flowing prince.

Prince?Thinking of his son-in-law, Emperor Changping's mood was a little ups and downs, he was afraid that his father had changed, he no longer loved him, and gave it to other brothers.

Boss?He was made king of Sujun, but he was afraid that he was unwilling to submit to his younger brother as the boss. He was the eldest son, and his self-esteem and pride did not allow him to lower his noble head.

The third and the fifth... Emperor Changping thought about the four adult sons, and his mood became more complicated. He couldn't help but envy Mrs. Lin, the only son, and the only son who became a talent, so he didn't have to worry about whether he could afford the family business.

After entering the palace gate, Emperor Changping went back to his bedroom to wash up, had dinner, and then sat in the yard smelling the fragrance of flowers in the wind and admiring the faint moonlight in the sky.

Wang Wei saw that the emperor had stayed for so long, and it was cold in February, and the temperature was low at night. He was afraid of catching a cold and having a fever. When he was about to remind Emperor Changping, the peaceful voice of Emperor Changping sounded in front of him.

"Show the Qiufang Pavilion."

Wang Wei hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Qiufang Pavilion is the residence of the twelve princes, mother, concubine, and nobles. The twelve princes are just a two-year-old baby, and Emperor Changping will always see two elders every few days.

Emperor Changping saw that most of his sons asked the palace people to carry the eleventh prince and the twelve princes to the imperial study or the bedroom, and they simply slept with the concubines.

The emperor only met two elders yesterday, so I don't know what's the purpose of going to Qiufang Pavilion.

Wang Wei guessed in his heart, but his movements were not slow.

After a while, the royal driver drove to Qiufang Pavilion. Wang Guiren was a young concubine about 20 years old. She had a small face and a watery appearance, which was quite cute. A womanizer, she also dotes on Wang Guiren quite a lot.

The news spread throughout the harem, and other concubines in the palace had mixed reactions.The noble concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the concubine De are no longer competing for favor. They are more likely to figure out the holy meaning from the emperor's words and deeds. But young concubines, thinking that Gao Jieyu and Wang Guiren can give birth to children, it proves that the emperor is not healthy. The problem is that they just want a child, but if the emperor doesn't come, they have nothing to do.

When Emperor Changping arrived at Qiufang Pavilion, Wang Guiren was already in the house to welcome him, and the target person of Emperor Changping's visit to Qiufang Pavilion this time was also there, his old son, the Twelve Princes.

"My son sees my father!" The twelve princes still acted decently, and Emperor Changping's eyes were full of joy, "little twelve, get up and come to my father's side."

The twelfth prince kept a straight face, and tried his best to walk upright in front of his father in the manner his mother and concubine taught him. Emperor Changping patted the seat beside him, "Sit down here!" Then he glanced at Wang Guiren, "My concubine loves you!" Come and sit down too."

Noble Wang is always cautious when facing the emperor, especially the emperor is much older than her. Of course, Emperor Changping doesn't care about Noble Wang's attitude, anyway, there are very few concubines who are not afraid of him.

The emperor stayed at the concubine's place, and the guards would not follow him. Of course, there were guards patrolling outside each palace, and the patrol density would increase when the emperor rested there.

Lou Gao and the others had already returned to their residence in the palace, Hao Ding was beaten up by his brothers again, and Shiwu, who was forced to change shift by him, was still gloating.

Hao Ding was honest for a while, depressed for a while, then revived with full blood, and looked arrogantly at his brothers, "I know you are envious of me, I don't care about you. And I won't tell you, I What did you and the old lady do together this afternoon?" After saying that, he ran away without a trace, making Lou Gao and the others' eyes twitch.

The nights in the palace are normal nights after getting used to it. After midnight, Lou Gao and his brothers were patrolling around the harem respectively. The gate of the prince's residence was suddenly pushed open, and the lights inside were brightly lit.

Some palace people ran in two directions in a panic, one was going to the emperor's bedroom, and the other was going to the imperial hospital.

The palace attendants going to the Imperial Hospital naturally passed through smoothly, and the palace attendants going to the emperor's bedroom were stopped. After Lou Gao asked the palace attendants to go to Qiufang Pavilion, he even cleared the way for him.

After fighting with concubines and goblins, Emperor Changping, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was awakened by nobleman Wang, and his spirit was still quite tired. His expression was calm and dignified: "What's the matter?"

Wang Wei replied outside the door: "Report to the emperor, the eunuch next to the seventh prince has come to report that the seventh prince has a high fever."

Emperor Changping woke up instantly, "Wang Wei comes in to serve you!"

The master and servant got dressed in twos and twos, and Emperor Changping looked at the nobleman Wang, "I won't be coming back, my concubine just needs to rest."

Dressed in single clothes, Wang Guiren respectfully watched the emperor leave, while she herself breathed a sigh of relief.

When Emperor Changping arrived at the prince's office, the tenth prince ordered the palace servants to serve the seventh prince with dignity. The imperial doctor was treating the seventh prince. He said that the wind and evil had entered the body, and as long as the fever was reduced, he immediately took medicine to boil medicine and do physical fever reduction.

It was a long time after Emperor Changping arrived that the eighth and ninth princes arrived. The two princes rubbed their sleepy eyes. Emperor Changping frowned and looked at him. go a little farther...

Wang Wei was sweating for the eighth prince and the ninth prince, because these two princes live closest to the seventh prince, but they arrived later than the emperor, there is no brotherhood!

In the middle of the night, Emperor Changping stayed at the prince's place all night. After the seventh prince's fever subsided, it was almost time to go to court. Just as Emperor Changping ordered the palace staff to take good care of the seventh prince, when he was about to leave, the seventh prince opened his eyes.

He felt very weak all over, and his eyes were sappy, the bright yellow color in front of him... "Father?"

Emperor Changping responded, and touched his forehead, "Xiaoqi has a fever, and the fever has subsided by now, so I'm fine."

The Seventh Prince was a little dumbfounded, blinked, shook his head, and then heard his father say again, "Such a big person doesn't know how to take care of himself, and being greedy for coolness is not such a way."

The Seventh Prince was running horses with others in the afternoon, he had done a lot of exercise, his whole body was hot and sweaty, although he changed his clothes in time, but because there was some wind blowing in the imperial garden at night, he didn't want to just have a fever like this.

"Father is going to go to court, and the fever has subsided, and the medicine boiled by the palace servants will be drunk later."

The Seventh Prince still said blankly: "Oh, yes." He closed his eyes and felt comfortable.

The corner of Emperor Changping's mouth was raised, the cold son's illness was quite cute, he beat the palace servants to serve the master well, and asked the tenth prince to go back to rest, Emperor Changping and Wang Wei got up and left the prince's room.

There are no secrets in the palace. The seventh prince is sick. The emperor kept watch all night, which makes some people feel very upset. Some people are not referring to the ministers, but several princes.

Emperor Changping sat high on the head, and the expressions of the two rows of officials below were all under his eyes.

The expressions of the three county kings were somewhat displeased, while the prince's expression was more complicated, because he was brought up by his father alone, and the treatment of the seventh prince was exclusive to him in the past.

If there is something to do, there is nothing to go back to the court, several things are resolved, and the early court will end soon.

Back in the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Changping asked about the situation of the Seventh Prince, knowing that the Seventh Prince was fine now, so he was relieved.

Commander Wu called the apprentices who were on duty last night to ask questions. Naturally, Lou Gao and the others would not hide from the master. Lou Gao always felt that although the master asked habitually, there was something wrong.

"Master, is there any question?" Lou Gao stared at Master without blinking, not letting go of the slightest expression of Master.However, Master is old and mature, and it is not something young people like them can see through.

Commander Wu shook his head: "It's nothing, just do your own thing and don't get involved in other things."

Lou Gao and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what charade Master was playing!

The Seventh Prince's illness came and went quickly. Thanks to his usual exercise, his body is actually very healthy. When he gets sick occasionally, he should strengthen his immunity.

The seventh prince didn't take it seriously, because in the past, although he was not so aggressive and did not cause such a big reaction when he fell ill, his father always cared about him.

However, on the second day, he discovered that the attitudes of the elder brothers towards him were different. The eldest brother and the second brother seemed to have eyes that were not eyes, and noses that were not noses. , What's the matter with that superficial smile?And what happened to the eighth brother's jealous eyes?Ninth brother and tenth brother are the same as before.

The Seventh Prince discovered that he was only sick, and the world changed drastically.Ugh, getting baffling!

After observing this day, although Lou Gaoshangyong and others didn't know what the master was thinking, but the seventh prince was hated by the princes, they really saw it clearly.

Several people couldn't help but sweat for the Seventh Prince. These princes are all sick. They envy the Seventh Prince for being taken care of by the Emperor. If you have the ability, you will get sick too!

The Seventh Prince sent his servants to inquire about the news, but unfortunately there was nothing. The women in the harem were still jealous and shy away from him, an older prince.

Li Qingsheng was the little eunuch who served the Seventh Prince personally, but he was about ten years older than the Seventh Prince, and since he entered the palace, he has been serving the Seventh Prince.

"Master, this servant has asked someone to inquire. Nothing happened in the harem. I really don't know what the lords are thinking." Li Qingsheng mobilized all the power he could to inquire about, but unfortunately found nothing.

The Seventh Prince thought for a long time, then waved his hands: "Forget it." The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, so if you don't know it, you don't know, "Go to the Imperial Study Room!" After thinking for a long time, the Seventh Prince thought that he should go to thank his father, And after his observation during this period of time, he felt that he should be able to determine the candidate for the princess.

Uh, he is not yet the prince, but on the day the marriage is bestowed, he must be the prince.

Emperor Changping naturally knew the reason of his seventh son's illness. He raced horses with everyone in Beijing. This kid was young and vigorous, and he didn't want to lose to others. A good rider.Of course, it is a good thing to be angry, but if it is for the performance in front of a certain girl, Emperor Changping finds it funny and angry.Watching the jokes of Lou Gao's guards during this time, I don't think his son's pursuit of other girls is the same.

He gave the seventh son four places, all of which were the daughters of important ministers, two civil servants and two generals, and now the seventh son seems to have chosen the eldest daughter of the Yao family.

The Yao family is a family of military generals. Old Master Yao has already retired from the army due to his age, but his prestige has not diminished. The eldest son of Old Master Yao served in the army and inherited the Yao family's lintel.

When Emperor Changping was still thinking about when the seventh son would confess to him, the seventh prince who had recovered from his illness and came to thank him mentioned it by the way.

"Lao Qi took a fancy to a girl from the Yao family? I heard that a girl from the Wen family and Luo family is beautiful, gentle and virtuous. Why do you only take a fancy to a girl from the Yao family?" Emperor Changping said indifferently.

The Seventh Prince was a little embarrassed, and said after a while: "My son is a bit dull, Miss Yao is lively and agile, and my son likes this kind of agility, so the house will not be boring in the future."

A hint of amusement flashed in Emperor Changping's eyes, and he joked, "The girl from the Yao family must not be bad looking."

The seventh prince's cheeks turned red all of a sudden. Compared to another girl from the general's family, Miss Yao naturally had a pretty face. Everyone in the world loves beauty, and the seventh prince is no exception. To choose the most suitable candidate under the conditions, it is natural to start with good looks first, and then consider other aspects.

"I know. Let's go back. I'm just recovering from my illness. Let's rest for a few more days." Emperor Changping didn't want to embarrass his son, so he stopped the loss in time. After the seventh prince left, Emperor Changping chatted with Wang Wei.

"Xiaoqi has grown up, and after we get married, I will be worthy of Concubine Shu." Emperor Changping sighed, and then asked: "Which girls from other families has He Zhaoyi summoned recently? Is there a girl from the Yao family?"

Wang Wei thought for a moment and said, "The people summoned by Lady Zhaoyi are all girls from Wenchen's side, and the Yao family girl is not among them." The main reason is that the Yao family and the He family have nothing to do with each other. The servant is a high-ranking official with real power, but it is a pity that civil servants and military generals still rarely meet. Even if He Zhaoyi is interested in a girl from the Yao family, he can only wait for the draft.

Emperor Changping thought about it for a while, and didn't think about this question anymore. He Zhaoyi only mentioned it not long ago. Maybe it's not yet the draft, so it's still uncertain.

Of course, the four seats he selected were not only for the seventh, but the seventh chose first, so the eighth's concubine could only be selected from the remaining three candidates.

And if Lao Qi chooses a general, then Lao Ba's concubine can only come from two daughters of civil servants.

Hearing the emperor's nagging, Wang Wei thought to himself that it's fortunate that the eighth prince didn't know, otherwise he would have cried in anger. He was picking someone up who didn't want him... Thinking about it this way, Wang Wei felt a little embarrassed.

People in low positions will not notice these subtle changes in the court and palace for a while, and Lin Hai only heard about them after the seventh prince recovered from his illness.

Speaking of which, Lin Hai hasn't seen the Seventh Prince for quite a while. The Seventh Prince seems to be very busy recently. He only works half a day at the household department and leaves at noon.

Lin Hai is not used to seeing the Seventh Prince so suddenly after get off work.

Lin Hai knew that his mother was as concerned about the Seventh Prince as he was about Lou Huwei and others. He didn't tell his mother about the Seventh Prince's illness yesterday, otherwise, his mother would have to say a few words. Pitiful……

"Seventh prince, are you going back to the palace?" Lin Hai cupped his hands and saluted.

The Seventh Prince stopped in his tracks, bowed his head, and Lin Hai always felt that his expression was more relaxed than before, "Lord Lin, long time no see." He knew that Lou Huwei and others had close contacts with the Lin family, but he never met Mrs. Lin again.

"I haven't seen the old lady for a long time. How is the old lady?"

Lin Hai smiled and said: "Mother is very good, and the Seventh Prince is concerned. I heard that the Seventh Prince was sick a few days ago. I wonder if the Seventh Prince has recovered now?"

The two chatted for a long time before parting. One went back to the palace and the other to Lin's house.

After dinner, Lin Hai chatted with his mother about family affairs, and brought up the matter of meeting the seventh prince, "I think the seventh prince is a little thin, but he is still in good spirits."

Ai Cao nodded: "The seventh prince, mother and concubine died early, and the emperor is not a heartless person. He always cares about the seventh prince. The emperor cares about the seventh prince. I am afraid that the prince and the three county kings will feel uncomfortable. This person is all Greedy, why don't they think about it, doesn't the emperor care about them? I'm afraid that a leaf will block their eyes, and they can only see what is in front of them, and never think about it. Speaking of it, I haven't seen the seventh and tenth princes for a long time, but as princes, You must be busy studying, but you don’t have time to spare.”

Lin Hai was ashamed, which family's child was not studying at the age of the seventh and tenth princes. Back then, even if he hadn't reached the level where his head was hanging from the beam and his ass was pierced, he would get up early and go to bed late, studying homework every day. Did you think Tanhua was so easy to take the exam?Of course, this is also thanks to the teacher's teaching. Unfortunately, the teacher has traveled far away and has not returned to Beijing for two years. It has been half a year since the last letter was delivered. I don't know when the teacher will return to Beijing.

In the middle of the night, when it was approaching midnight, the wormwood hadn't come out of the body space. She thought she could break through tonight, but after working hard for a long time, it still couldn't work. When the buds popped out, she was still in a daze.

The feeling of merging with the buds is simply ecstasy, and the fusion skills she has practiced have also improved, but it is a pity that the time for merging with the buds still cannot last for an hour, thanks to her full of confidence.

Waking up from the depression, Ai Cao raised her eyes and looked out, a look of surprise appeared on her face.The space seemed to be a little bigger. Ai Cao measured the size of the land and found that it was indeed half a square more. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seems that her practice tonight was not in vain. The space has grown.

Because there is no need to worry about food and clothing, the wormwood in the space does not plant any particularly valuable plants, that is, some flowers and plants and a few fruit trees. The fruit trees grow into small trees, and the flowers and plants bloom. Intoxicated!

Mugwort kept a happy mood and went back outside for a good night's sleep, but she didn't know that the red leaves had broken through, and the fusion of red leaves and flower buds could last for an hour.

Of course, the change in space is bigger than that of wormwood, and the land has increased by one square meter. The red leaves are also very happy. The filial piety in Rongfu has trapped her, so she can't go anywhere. Every day, she can only think of how to teach her son. Daughter-in-law, the rest of the time is spent thinking about the body space, and now she has some experience.

Back outside, Hongye let go of her consciousness, and found that the area covered by her consciousness had doubled. Hongye couldn't help but be overjoyed. If she only went in one direction, from Rongxi Hall to the entrance of the inner city, she would see the sky above the street. There was no one, and occasionally there was a lit lantern hanging under the eaves.

A team of city guards patrolled past with lanterns, and the watchman was walking in the streets and alleys, "The weather is dry, so be careful of the candles!"

Hongye was not interested in the outside world, so she quickly withdrew her consciousness and narrowed the scope, only covering the entire Rongfu, carefully feeling the tranquility around her.

The chirping of insects and the chirping of mice climbing at night still cannot break the silence of the night.

Many dirty things happened in the dark, suddenly, in the quiet environment, there was a small voice of several people.Hongye was quite depressed, the voice came from Rongning Alley, which happened to be at the edge of Rongfu, out of curiosity, Hongye let go of her consciousness and went towards Rongning Alley.

I saw two big men in coarse linen clothes looking out at the entrance of the alley. At this time, several flames came from the entrance of Rongning Street.

"Don't worry, this is the alley between Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. We can leave when the patrolling guards leave."

"Prostitutes are all sluts, it depends on how the slut escapes."

"Bah, anyway, it used to be the top brand in the brothel. Hey, I couldn't sleep with her before even if I spent money. This time, I have to try something new no matter what."

"Don't worry, there will be you."

A pair of officers and soldiers on patrol got closer and closer. The two big men immediately fell silent and hid in the shadows. The guards on patrol held a lantern and looked inside the alley. They found nothing, and a group of people went down again. a street.

Hongye suddenly became worried, should she take care of this nosy matter?
