sick princess

The imperial physicians have excellent medical skills, coupled with the continuous delivery of precious medicinal materials to the Changchun Palace, the fifth princess Ji Qinghan was finally rescued.

It's just that, because she was too seriously ill this time, and her body was very weak, in the future, she might be like the sick and long-lived princess, panting for breath after walking a few more steps.

Seeing Ji Qinghan's misery, Emperor Zhaode couldn't make up his mind to drive Ji Qinghan out no matter how angry he was.

Ji Qinghan finally stayed as she wished, at the cost of her health.

I don't know if it's because of his weak bones, and he has to take medicine every day, Ji Qinghan's temperament gradually becomes gloomy.

If we say that in the past, she was arrogant and bright, like a ball of flames that could burn people, but now she is like a cold snake, who will step forward and bite anyone who is not pleasing to the eye.

Not long after Ji Qinghan woke up, many servants in the Changchun Palace have been punished by her.

Concubine Zhou has a good reputation for being friendly. After hearing about this, she reprimanded Ji Qinghan for messing around, but was contradicted by Ji Qinghan. After returning, she was so angry that her liver ached: "How does this look like my daughter? She is clearly a debt collector!"

Although Mo Zhu didn't like Ji Qinghan very much in his heart, she was a servant after all, so she couldn't say lightly about Ji Qinghan, so he said, "Master, don't be upset, the princess is not in good health now, so I can't help but get a little emotional. In the future, the princess will be healthy again." When you recover, you will be fine.”

After hearing these words of consolation, Concubine Zhou still shook her head: "No, you didn't see Han'er's eyes... She blames Ben Gong for not picking her up sooner. This child has been spoiled by me, and I don't know what's at stake... If I can get her out as soon as possible, can I not do it?"

Mo Zhu thought to himself, of course you can do this, you just see that the seventh prince is favored by the emperor, and you don't want to make the emperor unhappy at this juncture.Last time, there was so much unhappiness in the palace because of the matter of bringing the fifth princess back. According to your usual style, you will naturally wait until these things are forgotten before you bring up the matter of bringing the fifth princess back .

Even though he was thinking this way in his heart, Mo Zhu still persuaded on the face: "How can mother and daughter have overnight hatred? The princess can't turn around for a while, and after a long time, she will naturally be able to appreciate your good intentions." gone."

Concubine Zhou supported her forehead in pain and said, "Hey, I hope so."

Thinking that in recent days, the second prince has been lukewarm towards her and gradually stopped listening to her, Concubine Zhou's expression became even more gloomy.

"Those villains who alienate my mother and child, I will never spare them!"

The villains in Concubine Zhou's words naturally included Concubine Hui, Concubine Zhuang, Empress Xu and Rui Xiaoyi.

Even though there was no direct evidence to prove that Empress Xu and Rui Xiaoyi were involved in this matter, Concubine Zhou still held these two people in a grudge.

If Baoluo was here, he would definitely laugh at it.

As expected, Concubine Zhou still had this temperament, whatever happened was someone else's fault, she was the only one who was innocent.

However, Concubine Zhou probably wouldn't understand that the human heart is the most unpredictable thing in this world.She wants to play with people's hearts in the same way as she plays power-conspiracy, which is simply wishful thinking.

……

"Bao Luo, this is the lantern brought back by my father, take a look, do you like it?"

This year's Lantern Festival, Emperor Zhaode was in such a good mood that he brought people out of the palace in micro-clothes to have fun with the people.

Emperor Zhaode originally wanted to take Baoluo out to get some fresh air, but unfortunately, Baoluo blew a little cool breeze at night, and when he woke up the next day he was top-heavy and spoke with a strong nasal voice. Also can't go.

Seeing that his precious daughter was about to cry, Emperor Zhaode promised her that he would draw the scenes he saw at the lantern festival and bring back the most beautiful lamp at the lantern festival for her. This got better.

At this time, Baoluo was carefully looking at the lantern in Emperor Zhaode's hand.

It was indeed an exquisitely crafted lantern. The lantern had six faces, and on each face was a lifelike beauty, making people reluctant to look away when they saw it.

"This glazed beauty lamp is given to my beautiful and intelligent little princess." Emperor Zhaode smiled and stuffed the glazed beauty lamp into Baoluo's hand.

The attendant at the side stepped forward and explained to Baoluo: "Princess, the emperor personally won this lamp for you. Those scholars like to guess lantern riddles during this kind of festival, but they boast that they are rich in knowledge, I never guessed about the emperor."

Emperor Zhaode smiled and said nothing.

Baoluo looked at Emperor Zhaode with admiration: "Father is so powerful! Since Father won this glazed beauty lamp for my son, I should cherish it even more, so I will order someone to turn the lamp on." Hang it in Erchen's room."

Although Emperor Zhaode was used to the flattery from the people around him, he still enjoyed the adoring eyes of his daughter.

"However, father, don't think that with this glazed beauty lamp, I will forget that you still owe me a painting. Before you left the palace, you said that you would take over the palace in your place. See all the bustling scenes outside, and then draw them for my son...you are not allowed to play tricks."

Emperor Zhaode pointed at Baoluo and scolded Eunuch Liang beside him with a smile: "Look at her, she is the most shrewd, I am afraid that I owe her something. Forget it, I'd better go back to catch up with work, so as not to send the scroll late." , I have to be told by her again."

Eunuch Liang also laughed and said, "The relationship between the princess and the emperor is really good."

After leaving Fengyi Palace, the smile on Emperor Zhaode's face was still there.This child Baoluo is really sweet, even when he grows up, he still plays like a baby with him like when he was a child.

However, the smile on Emperor Zhaode's face faded when he thought of the scene he saw when he stayed in Changchun Palace yesterday.

"Tell me, she is also weak and sick, why is Baoluo so attractive, but Han'er looks so gloomy?"

Facing such a sickly and listless face all day long, Emperor Zhaode loved Ji Qinghan again, but now this love has faded.

How bad the atmosphere in Changchun Palace is recently, even Emperor Zhaode felt it.

Emperor Zhaode came down from court and entered the harem for the purpose of relaxing.After going to Changchun Palace, he felt uncomfortable, so he went less and less.Correspondingly, the number of times Emperor Zhaode went to the study began to increase.The Seventh Prince is smart and smart, and now he is working hard in his homework, and he is praised by Emperor Zhaode every time.

When everyone saw this, they knew that although Concubine Zhou was not as favored as before, the Seventh Prince was still valued by Emperor Zhaode as always.All of a sudden, everyone couldn't help being envious and jealous towards Concubine Zhou Guifei: "I really gave birth to a good son. Now, there is no need to do anything, and the mother can be more expensive than the son."

This news reached the ears of Concubine Zhou, although Concubine Zhou felt a little unhappy, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the fifth princess has fallen out of favor now, and the second prince has recently lost the favor of Emperor Zhaode, as long as Emperor Zhaode still values ​​the seventh prince, everything has not yet reached the worst point.

At this time, Eunuch Liang listened to Emperor Zhaode's words, lowered his eyes and said: "I don't know, maybe it varies from person to person."

"It varies from person to person? You are right. Baoluo has always been more pleasing than others. As for Han'er..." Emperor Zhaode shook his head and stopped talking.

……

Baoluo has been living a rather leisurely life recently, recuperating from illness, eating the nourishing soup made by Empress Xu herself, chatting with Lan Chuyan who came to the palace to talk with her, and playing with Jiujiu puppy After dinner, listen to how unlucky Concubine Zhou has been recently.

There really is no better life than this.

It's a pity that in the palace, this kind of life is destined not to last.

At the beginning of spring, an urgent letter from eight hundred miles came from the border, which immediately made the atmosphere in the front court and the harem tense.

Just after the New Year's Eve, the Beirong people mobilized their troops to invade, and took three cities in the north with lightning speed, and the guard, General Xie, was also assassinated.The northern garrison was leaderless for a while, and panicked.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Beirong people captured two more cities in Daxia.Now, with five cities in their hands, two of which are still fortresses, the Beirong people feel confident that they will have the confidence to compete with Daxia.

The leader of the Northern Rong became arrogant for a while, and yelled at Emperor Zhaode that unless Emperor Zhaode sent the princess to get married and marry a large amount of money and supplies, otherwise, he would never retreat.

The war faction and the peace faction in the court are already arguing.

The main combat faction said: "The small border countries dare to offend our Great Xia. If they don't beat them to the ground and subdue them, how can we save the face of our great country? The rest of the small countries follow the example of Beirong, so what?"

The Zhuhe faction said: "My Great Xia is a country of etiquette, and we must not be as rude and unreasonable as the Beirong people. The Beirong people are confused, and we should not follow them to be confused. We should educate them with etiquette...Once a war starts, it will inevitably waste people and waste money. Those common people are also the emperor's subjects, how can the emperor bear it?"

Whether it is war or peace, this is the most concerned topic of the previous dynasty.

What the harem is most concerned about is whether Emperor Zhaode will send the princess to Beirong for marriage.If he finally decides to send a princess for marriage, which princess will it be?

The eldest princess, the second princess, and the third princess are all married, so this matter has nothing to do with them.In the palace, the only ones who are suitable for marriage are the fifth princess who has grown up, the sixth princess who is thirteen years old, and the seventh princess who is twelve years old.

The fifth princess is quite suitable in terms of age, but the fifth princess has been ill recently, and she may not be able to leave the palace.Although the sixth and seventh princesses are a little younger, the wedding date is set in two or three years, which is just right.

Considering how favored the three princesses are, if they really wanted to send the princesses for marriage, the sixth princess, Ji Changle, who was the least favored, would probably be the one to go?
