Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

The birthday of His Majesty the Emperor is called Longevity Festival.

Birthday rites from all over the world flowed into the imperial capital, and this year is the [-]th birthday, so it is inevitable that the arrangements will be bigger, and the clans will all enter the capital according to the order.

At that time, the capital was very lively, and the signboard at the entrance of Duobaozhai was smashed down. Among the ten people, five families were clan relatives, four families were officials, and one was a waiter.

Ming Yilan was talking with the queen, and the queen gave the imperial concubine full authority over the Wanshou Festival on the pretext of being busy with harem affairs.

"Do you think this is all right?" asked the Queen.

Ming Yilan comforted her and said, "Don't worry, your majesty will do it with such a heavy heart. The crown prince is locked in the East Palace, so it's good if he doesn't move. The crown prince is involved in Guo Zuo, and the crown prince doesn't make mistakes. How can your majesty find a reason to abolish him? Yu History will surely turn His Majesty into anger, and the Third Prince and his mother just happen to shine brightly. The best result is that His Majesty releases the Crown Prince and gives him some error-prone errands. No matter how bad it is, the confinement can be lifted."

Favor is only temporary, and sometimes, the emperor has to understand the general trend.

"The concubine Hou of the third eldest family came to complain to me twice. At first I thought she was stupid enough to be subtle, but later I found out that she was actually here to numb me." The queen said, "She probably already knew Anping The matter of the princess is over, but he pretends to be ignorant on purpose. His Majesty hates the prince largely because of Anping, if it gets involved in full view, the prince will suffer a crushing defeat."

"If she knows, so what?" Ming Yilan said, her trust and admiration for the grandmother, the Queen Mother, surpasses everything else, "What the Queen Mother does will never be found out. Don't forget, my lady, come and talk to you The one who cried out that the third prince had an affair with Princess Anping was Hou Fangfei, the daughter of Duke Xiu, his own cousin. He is so close to the third prince. If it wasn't for the fact that his heart was ashamed and he was at the end of the road, why would he want to be with your estranged mother-in-law? What about crying?"

"I also thought the same way. The third child actually had an affair with Princess Anping, and after many years, he empathized with Concubine Lan." The queen smiled slightly, "He really thinks my son is a fool. He pretended to let the prince To steal the minds of younger siblings, I have no choice but to give him a gift in return."

The third prince made such a big noise just to draw people's attention to Concubine Lan.At worst, it can remind people of Princess Anping's death. At best, the crown prince is noble and wants a side concubine who was born as a slave as a substitute. Could he not give it?

Pity.

He only knows one, but not two.

At that time, it was not the third prince, let alone the prince, who had an affair with Princess Anping, but His Majesty the Emperor.After Princess Anping and her adoptive father conceived secretly, she wanted to rely on the prince.

Right in the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to hold down Princess Anping, and poured her a bowl of medicine with her own hands.Ming Yilan and the queen were watching beside her.

Look at the endless blood flowing from the woman's body, and see her dying of wailing.

The Queen Mother just said indifferently, "Princess Anping died of illness, and the mourning family pitied her for her young age, and enshrined her tablet in Miaoying Temple, so that she can enjoy the influence of Buddha."

At that time, Ming Yilan had lost her husband, so she watched it coldly, "Let someone drag it down and wash the floor."

At that time, he already knew that Anping was pregnant, and was about to discuss it with the queen, never thought that she would enter the Palace of Compassion and Peace and never come out again.

He rushed to Kunning Palace angrily, and threw the porcelain all over the floor, "You poisonous woman! You can poison my own daughter! She already has my own flesh and blood!"

The queen slowly showed a strange smile, "Isn't my adopted daughter your majesty's? Your majesty's adopted daughter has your majesty's flesh and blood, is your majesty going to make this dragon princess or princess?"

The emperor was too embarrassed to start, "I have already promised to change her identity."

"Princess Anping, born in Prince Qi's mansion, the eldest daughter of King Qi and his concubine." The queen said quietly, "Every time the wife is appointed, she always shows her face. Which concubine in the palace doesn't know her. Call the princess today and say a word of righteousness." Daughter, I will call her imperial concubine tomorrow, and call her your sister."

When she said this, she suddenly raised her voice, "What is the face of the royal family! Is His Majesty planning to make her the wife of Guo Guo or Wei Guo?!"

The emperor suddenly slapped her, "Presumptuous! How dare you compare me with Tang Xuanzong."

A furious scolding came from behind, "Aijia thinks you are almost the same! One robbing the daughter-in-law and the other robbing the righteous daughter, it's only more absurd!"

The Empress Dowager leaned on a dragon headed crutch and scolded the emperor angrily, "An animal is nothing more than that. Aijia will help you get rid of that little animal. Do you have any objections?"

The emperor had no choice but to swallow this breath, and apologized to the queen under the threat of the queen mother.

As a result, within a few days, the imperial concubine told him that Anping had been in contact with the prince.

I believed it to be true, and felt that my son had put on a cuckold for me, and the queen mother scolded me because she was partial to the prince. Under the contradiction, I didn't like to see the prince and queen very much, and loved the noble concubine and the third prince wholeheartedly.

For this reason, the Empress Dowager also called the noble concubine to the Palace of Compassion and Punishment to punish her by kneeling. The reason was, "Let the Ai family teach you the rules of being a concubine."

The emperor broke into the Palace of Compassion and Peace and took away the noble concubine.

The Empress Dowager never saw her again until her death.

"The Ai family's biggest regret in this life is that they didn't teach their son well. Yilan, you have to teach brother Ji well. Don't let down the name that the Ai family gave him. Ji is not called his strength, but his virtue. "The queen mother said to Ming Yilan, "It's a pity that the Ai family can only give him the title of son of Changle County, and he can only rely on himself. In the future, he must assist the prince well."

Ming Yilan has come to this day, remembering this sentence, brother Ji must assist the prince well in the future, this is the queen mother's will.

The queen also recalled the past by coincidence, and what she remembered most was not the slap, but the lack of morality in the present, so that the queen mother did not want to see him when she was dying.

"I know Gui Shilang's idea is actually good, but he doesn't know the inside story. If the crown prince goes to beg for mercy, His Majesty may not have any father and son to talk to him, it's better to keep his character." The queen said.

"I know that Gui Shilang is a close minister of the emperor, and he understands it when he thinks about it. The matter has come to this point, how it got out is not very important." Although Ming Yilan knew that there were people guarding around and no one was eavesdropping, she couldn't help but lowered her voice. , "I'm already fifty today. Fifty knows the destiny. I should also understand today that some people have certain things, but destiny belongs to them."

"Yilan, I hope to see the day when brother Ji assists the crown prince."

"There will definitely be. But the prince may have to wait a few more years, brother Ji is still young."

During the Great Dynasty, Yushitai was turned up and down again and again, Your Majesty will live forever, and amnesty the world, why not pardon the crown prince?It is still the crown prince of Guangwang, her father is strong and strong, and said generously, "The prince is the prince of the country. Now that many clans come to congratulate him, the prince is still grounded. Isn't it a shame for the royal family? What's more, in terms of filial piety, the prince is also You should share your father's worries, the old minister sees that the third prince is getting busier and has lost weight, although the prince is honorable, he can't just enjoy life like this."

There was a low laugh.

The third prince almost wanted to go up and strangle the old man himself. Seizing power is not called seizing power, it is called sharing worries, restraining feet is not called restraining feet, it is called enjoying blessings.What the hell is this called.You don't care if I'm thin or not, if the crown prince is imprisoned in the East Palace for a lifetime, it doesn't matter if I become skinny.

It's just that he always has a gentle and jade-like appearance to the outside world, and he immediately came out and said, "To share the worries of the father and the emperor, the son is duty-bound."

"Although the third prince has a heart, there are some things that you really can't tell the difference. What about offering sacrifices to the emperor's mausoleum and paying homage to Mount Tai is the job of the prince." Another stunned Qing Yushi jumped out.

Zuodu Yushi glared at him, he was on shift the day before, so he couldn't speak more elegantly.

The emperor looked at the people below with an unfathomable face. He was thinking about why these censors jumped out to speak for the prince, and how likely it was that they were manipulated.

Another censor jumped out, "Your Majesty did not blame the prince for his disrespect in front of the imperial court, but only confines his feet, which is a great kindness. I think that the prince is so unworthy of the emperor, and he has never given an apology afterwards..."

He impeached the prince endlessly, but the emperor felt a chill in his heart. The prince had never given an apology, and he lost his temper at that time, but no one knew about it except the cabinet members and the third prince present. .

How did the censor know?

Is it a double spring?

He looked at the third prince who was unparalleled in style below, and stopped the Yushi's verbal confrontation, "Okay, I know what you mean. Then let the prince out. I have a long life, and I had this plan. The third son , the reception of the imperial family in Beijing is going well?"

The third prince talked eloquently, telling how those who had come would be arranged, and who would be left who hadn't, so that the emperor would know who was more loyal and enthusiastic.

Except for those who have a long way to go, such as those from Guangdong, Guangzhou and Fujian, those who have not yet arrived in the capital, most of them have a bad attitude.

The emperor was very satisfied with what he heard. After all, he was his most beloved child, and he was always so pleased.

This is actually a good errand to make friends with the clan, who would not praise the clan who came from afar when they saw the third prince?

The third prince is confident, as long as the prince comes out, he will have a way to make the prince make mistakes again.Youdao said that it is better to be still than to move, so he naturally hoped that the prince would move.

In the East Palace, everyone received the emperor's oral order, but none of them showed any joy.

The crown prince stood there without moving for a long time, and the crown princess didn't bother him, she just stood beside him quietly.

"Is solitary useless?"

"No, you are the most powerful person in my heart." The princess held his hand, "It's time for you to thank your father."

The prince pursed his lips, and the sarcasm was self-evident, "Yes, it's time to thank my father."

When the queen heard the news that the prince had lifted the confinement, she was not at all happy, "There is still a long way to go."

King Yujun is the clan of Yangzhou. His birthday gift this time was sponsored by salt merchants in Yangzhou. What is the suet white jade beauty bottle from the previous dynasty? The most peculiar thing is a jade longevity peach with pink top and green leaves underneath , It was carved from a mother stone.

The third prince had a good relationship with him, so he had the honor to take a look at him first, and he couldn't help saying, "I don't want Yangzhou to be so prosperous."

Prince Yu immediately understood, "This is what Xiao Wang prepared for the third prince, what do you think?"

"Didn't you let me steal the limelight from the county king?"

"What matters now is not mine, but yours."

The third prince couldn't refuse again and again, so he accepted it with a smile, and waited for the brocade box to be exchanged, and presented it together with the one he had prepared.

There was no one around, so he asked King Yujun in a low voice, "Is Lin Ruhai dead?"

"Should be dead, I think it's time to send the funeral report."
