Huaibi

The incident of falling into the water didn't make He Jinyi feel bad, but it caused the prince to catch a cold, and he coughed more and more after the evening.

The entire Xu'an Hall was in a hurry, and the imperial physicians came to the hall in twos and twos, eager to diagnose the prince's pulse and prescribe prescriptions, fearing that the emperor and empress would blame him.

Ping Huaizhen was lying on the bed coughing, dizzy, unable to think clearly, and still shouting "Jin Yi" in his mouth in a daze.

The little eunuch serving the prince, Jiang Changfu, listened carefully by the bedside, and he heard his question clearly for a long time: "Has Jin Yi also caught a cold?"

He Jinyi had already left the palace at Yinshi, how could Jiang Chang know if he was safe and sound at this moment, but now Ping Huaizhen was concerned, so he could only comfort him: "Prince, don't worry, Young Master He is fine."

Ping Huaizhen let out a sigh of relief, went to bed with peace of mind, slept for a while, and then confessed: "Look for someone to pass on a message to order Jin Yi not to come tomorrow, so that I won't be harmed by me."

"How did you kill me?"

Emperor Hongxuan's voice suddenly came from beside the bed.

The prince opened his eyes, not knowing when his father came in, he looked at him blankly.

"I have become like this, and I am still thinking about others?"

"Father, my sons see Father..." Ping Huaizhen greeted Emperor Hongxuan, but he didn't get up, and he was still lying on his stomach. Emperor Hongxuan didn't care about it, and tried the temperature of his forehead with his gentle palm.

"It may not be hot, rest for two days, and learn to be more honest and behave in the future."

Ping Huai pursed his lips, thinking that his mother was still gentle, so he would coax him distressedly, and would never teach him a lesson at this time.

Just as he was thinking, there was singing in the courtyard, and it was the queen who had arrived.

Ping Huaizhen smiled "hehe", waited for the queen to enter the room, turned over, stretched out her arms and acted like a baby: "Why did the queen come here?"

The empress came forward to salute Emperor Hongxuan, and went to meet Ping Huaizhen's cheek in distress.

"It's not fine during the day, why is it getting cold at night... I blame the queen mother for not taking good care of you."

Ping Huaizhen complacently received the pampering, she didn't feel uncomfortable and unwell was a big deal, on the contrary she was inexplicably pleased with herself.

Relying on the sick, Ping Huaizhen was pampered and spoiled, and dragged his father to tell many stories, most of which were legends about the lives of soldiers and horses who had experienced the dynasties of the dynasties.Emperor Hongxuan was not impatient, he didn't get up and leave until the sky was completely dark and the lamps and candles in the hall were all burned out.

The empress who had been immersed in it suddenly came back to her senses, stood up and sent Emperor Hongxuan out of the palace, and couldn't help saying: "It's getting late, there is hawthorn tea cold in Fengyi Hall, the emperor talked for a long time, why don't you drink it at the concubine's place?" bowl?"

"Next time," Emperor Hongxuan waved his head without stopping, "The Empress is interested, but Concubine Yi is weak, I will go to see her tonight."

The empress was dumbfounded when she heard the words, and stopped persuading her, and gave her a blessing from her back. She hated Concubine Yi very much in her heart, but she didn't know that Concubine Yi hated both the crown prince and her so much that she couldn't wait for the emperor who promised her all night.

Emperor Hongxuan, who did not stay in the two places, went back to his dormitory to change into his regular clothes. He left the palace under the cover of the dark night with only his eunuchs, and took a carriage to Chengyuan Palace in the middle of the capital.

In the courtyard of the princess, a storm has just subsided.

During the daytime, Princess Chengyuan, who returned to the palace, invited a doctor to check her pulse and learned that she was two months pregnant.King Chengyuan found out about this not long ago, and he looked fine at the moment, but at night he got drunk and broke into the princess's room, spewing alcohol and smashing the room to pieces of porcelain.

The concubine sat at the end of the bed and let him vent his anger until he came forward with his scarlet eyes angrily, and grabbed her neck with his palm.

"Bitch!"

Princess Chengyuan was about to suffocate, she struggled to smile, and said a few words with difficulty: "I can't be humane...but marry me..."

King Chengyuan gritted his teeth, his palms trembling uncontrollably.

"My lord!" Tangli clutched his wrist in dismay, knelt beside him and begged, "My lord, my concubine is dying..."

Chengyuan Wang let go, and slapped Tangli on the face as if venting his anger.

The concubine held on to the bed rail and coughed for a while, then raised her head and roared with tears all over her face: "If it wasn't for you! If it weren't for you, I would have been with him justifiably...Why did I just watch my child recognize someone else as his mother!"

King Chengyuan was furious, but his clenched fist did not drop, and he took half a step back dejectedly.

The noble son of the royal family who was well-clothed and well-fed was born eunuch, which was the most embarrassing shame in his life.But even though he can't be humane, as a man, he also knows the seven emotions and six desires, and also understands the taste of love at first sight.

At that time, the princess was at her best age, generous and elegant, like a refined magnolia on a tall branch, which best demonstrated his dignified status as a powerful person and his selfish desires that he couldn't get.

It's a pity that by mistake, the emperor met the princess one step ahead of him, but he had to give up the woman he liked because of the empress dowager's will.But if Emperor Hongxuan knew that King Chengyuan had a hidden disease at that time, he would never have given up the concubine to him.

King Chengyuan felt sad, but every time he faced the princess's resentment, he felt extremely guilty, as if he really did what she said and ruined her original happiness with one hand.

In the dead silence of the room, Princess Chengyuan looked at him coldly with hatred in her eyes.

King Chengyuan lost his strength and stepped back step by step. The smell of alcohol made him dizzy. After a while, he turned and left, as if he had never been here before.

Tangli stood up from the ground, hurriedly walked to the bed, wiped the princess's tears with a handkerchief, stroked her heart to comfort her, and softly persuaded her: "Princess, don't get angry, it's for the sake of the child in your belly, right?" ..."

Princess Chengyuan pursed her lips and said nothing, slowly caressed her upper abdomen, and replied as if talking to herself for a long time: "I want to keep this child by my side, and no one can take it away..."

The dormitory was cleared away as early as when the prince came, there was no wind, no moon, and no sound from the branches and leaves.Tangli didn't want to call anyone to come, so she squatted on the ground alone, cleaned up the porcelain crumbs one by one, and waited for the princess to wash and change her clothes.

Princess Chengyuan gradually calmed down, and reached out to caress her swollen cheeks.Tangli's heart warmed, and she felt that this matter was too absurd and unethical, and the world couldn't tolerate it. If even she couldn't take good care of the princess, the life of the princess would be even more difficult. Thinking about it, she shook her head and smiled, "It doesn't hurt." .”

Tangli has been with Princess Chengyuan since she was six years old. She is called master and servant, but in fact she loves her sisters. Princess Chengyuan can easily guess what she thinks in her heart. She smears.

Not long after, there was some movement in the courtyard.

Tangli was familiar with her, and she exchanged a glance with the concubine, then left the room and never came back.Princess Chengyuan looked at the hanging curtain quietly, and when she saw the person coming after a while, tears rolled down her eyes.

"emperor……"

Emperor Hongxuan was slightly surprised, the furnishings in the room had been neatly tidied up by Tangli, the princess was sitting on the railing of the bed in her underwear, her temple hair scattered like a waterfall, she was gentle and beautiful, nothing unusual could be seen.If it weren't for those eyes, Emperor Hongxuan would definitely not have guessed what happened just now.

The blood stasis cream was still placed on the low table at the head of the bed, Emperor Hongxuan looked down and asked, "Did he hurt you?"

Princess Chengyuan shook her head: "It is Tangli who is hurt."

Emperor Hongxuan didn't say a word, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something, and gently lifted her chin with the light of the cage, revealing a red mark on her neck.

"Isn't that hurting?"

Princess Chengyuan closed her eyes, not wanting to say any more.Emperor Hongxuan sighed deeply, sat beside her and hugged her into his arms. Knowing that she didn't want to talk about it, he intentionally diverted her mind and said: "Xin'er is suffering from wind and cold, maybe it was caused by the sun setting during the day, and I have been with him for a long time. I just came here to see you."

Wang Feiguo didn't think about anything else, she frowned anxiously: "Is Zhen'er okay?"

"Shang Hao, although I feel unwell, I'm noisy as usual, and I've been pestering me for a long time."

The concubine smiled slightly when she heard the words, and Emperor Hongxuan took advantage of her mood to relax and helped her to lie down: "You should take a good rest and don't worry me."

"The emperor is really worried?"

"I don't care, what are you doing here?"

"The concubine thought that the emperor would go to accompany Concubine Yi tonight."

Emperor Hongxuan laughed in a low voice: "What I said in the Qiuhua Palace during the day, other people don't understand, don't you understand? I will come to accompany you."

Princess Chengyuan really didn't understand, but she was wronged, and she finally showed her little daughter's attitude when facing her sweetheart.She relaxed and lay down, stretched out her hand from the thin quilt to hook Emperor Hongxuan's palm, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the doctor has examined you, and this concubine has been alive for two months."

"I understand," Emperor Hongxuan held her plain hand, "This is your second child with me."

Princess Chengyuan hesitated to speak.

"what you want to say?"

She raised her eyes resolutely, her tone was weak but could not be rejected: "Your Majesty, this child, my concubine must stay by my side."

It's "want", not "want", and Emperor Hongxuan knew he couldn't persuade her as soon as he heard it.Fortunately, I didn't intend to persuade, after all, Princess Chengyuan "died" two sons one after another, it would seem too bizarre.Besides, he has no other reason to take the child into the palace again, if he wants to avoid people's eyes and ears, it is best to keep the child in Chengyuan Palace.

Emperor Hongxuan didn't explain what was in his mind, he patted the back of her hand and coaxed, "I promise you." After saying that, he felt his palms and fingers tremble.

Princess Chengyuan had mixed feelings when she heard these words, she almost shed tears.

It was indeed difficult for her to bear the pain of being separated from her flesh and blood. In the past six years, how she tossed and turned at night, and how she couldn't eat during the day, no one could understand more of the sorrow.She also wanted a child that she raised with her own hands, whether it was a son or a daughter, she could teach him how to write, read nursery rhymes to lull him to sleep, and listen to him call his mother with a waxy voice.This is the longing that she has never been fortunate enough to experience as a mother, and she can only dream of it all day long.

Now with the promise of Emperor Hongxuan, Princess Chengyuan finally fell into a big rock in her heart, her mind was peaceful, she closed her eyes tiredly, and called the emperor softly before going to sleep.

Emperor Hongxuan put her hands back under the quilt, blew out all the bright lights in the room, and returned to the bedside to watch quietly, with a gentleness that no one in the world has ever seen.

"Sleep, I will wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

Princess Chengyuan fell asleep peacefully, with Emperor Hongxuan's affection in her heart, at least at this moment she thought that the emperor loved her dearly.

In the middle of the night, it rained heavily in the capital, and the summer rain was so fierce that the bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, raising the smell of dust and mud.

Ping Huaizhen in the Xu'an Palace was disturbed by the noise of the falling rain and couldn't sleep well, tossing and turning, but she was still dazed and didn't wake up completely.It wasn't until the sky turned white and the rain gradually weakened that Ping Huaizhen finally fell into a dream, wrapped in a thin silk quilt, and slept soundly.

Ping Huaizhen went to sleep until Si o'clock, no one disturbed him, yawned and opened his eyes contentedly, vaguely saw a figure lying on the bedside, and immediately rolled in shock.Looking back, I realized that it was He Jinyi, watching him with round eyes.

"Brother Prince, are you awake?"

Ping Huaizhen turned over in surprise, leaned over to the bed and asked him: "Jin Yi, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come today? Could it be that no one has sent a word?" Avoid him further.

On the contrary, He Jinyi stood up straight and poked his feet in, with an expression of extra concern: "It's passed on, but you caught the wind and cold, so I want to take a look. It was because of me that you jumped into the water yesterday." .”

"You fell because of me."

"But I'm fine." He Jinyi squinted and smiled, tilting his head and asked, "Brother Prince, are you feeling bad?"

"A little bit," Ping Huaizhen didn't lie to him, "Head hurts dizzily, but it's much better than last night."

After hearing this, He Jinyi didn't know what to think, suddenly stretched his arms and leaned in, bent down and kissed Ping Huaizhen on the forehead.Ping Huaizhen was dumbfounded, touched his forehead, and felt extremely happy.

"When I feel bad, I just let my mother kiss me."

"I'm fine too," Ping Huaizhen happily climbed out of bed, looking for clothes to wear by himself, "I don't feel bad anymore, I don't have class today, let's go to the Royal Garden to play!"

"That won't work, you are not feeling well, you should take a good rest in your room."

Ping Huaizhen's excitement faded, although he was a bit disappointed, but he still obeyed his words and honestly squatted in the room for a day.Thinking about it carefully, since he met He Jinyi, the prince who was supposed to be aloof has never done anything against his words, and he really likes him to death.

The servant girl outside the palace heard the movement and came in to help the prince comb and comb his hair, arrange the clothes he had put on indiscriminately, and bring the newly boiled soup.In front of He Jinyi, Ping Huaizhen drank without frowning.

"Is it bitter?" He Jinyi was afraid when he smelled it.

"It's not bitter." Ping Huaizhen desperately wanted to save face, ran to the table to find peach blossom candies to eat, and fed one to He Jinyi's mouth, and He Jinyi was so sweet that he turned his eyes in an instant.

Seeing this, the maid beside her covered her mouth and snickered, and left the bedroom with an empty bowl in her hand, not exposing the prince's refusal to take the medicine last night.

Unable to go outside, he simply looked for some side fun, Ping Huaizhen ran behind the desk to have a look, He Jinyi also followed like a little tail to have a look, after a while they climbed onto the big chair together, each of them wrote a penny. Start painting.

Now the two children can still write properly, but they are really not good at painting. After a few strokes, there is something drawn on the rice paper.Ping Huaizhen thought about it, dipped in the ink and added a few strokes, then turned to He Jinyi beside him and said, "This is the tree in the imperial garden."

He Jinyi didn't really notice it at first, but after hearing what he said, he looked more and more like it, so he followed him to draw beside the tree, and replied: "This is a small bridge."

Ping Huaizhen was very happy, so the pond water under the bridge, lotus leaf and lotus were added one by one.

He Jinyi obediently waited for him to draw, then found a blank space among the lotus leaves and drew a crooked boat.The surface of the pool was calm, and the two children on the boat sat firmly and did not fall into the water this time.

Ping Huaizhen laughed happily, and wrote an inscription next to it: Ji and Jinyi fell into the water.

He Jinyi's brows and eyes were crooked from being teased...
