Happy days always pass quickly. After the prince was imprisoned in the cold palace, the active officials of the prince's party were also demoted or dismissed by Emperor Mingxuan. No matter how good the kung fu is, after the prince's incident, her mask was completely poked. If she hadn't had a belly and a dragon son, I'm afraid she should have stayed in the cold palace at this moment or was given a foot of white hair. Aya.

The crown prince fell, and the crown prince's party also dispersed. Zhenyuanhou's mansion calmed down. Unlike the previous publicity, it is now a lot more low-key. Although Emperor Mingxuan wanted to take the opportunity to take back the military power in Zhenyuanhou's hands, he stopped thinking after much deliberation.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan has held the military power to the east of the border for generations, coupled with the deliberate actions of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the border soldiers have almost recognized the Marquis of Zhenyuan to the point where they only recognize people but not orders. There have been some abnormalities in the past year, and Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was even more worried about forcibly taking back his military power.

Decades ago, the Donglin Kingdom was extremely powerful and ambitious, so when Emperor Xia Qixian was old, he sent the most valiant army to the Donglin border in order to prevent Donglin from taking the opportunity to attack. Sure enough, Donglin took action, but instead of invading Xia Qi, he invaded Baijin. This was also the beginning of Donglin's trouble with blood, and the holy monk of Hanshui Temple became famous all over the world. According to the secret words of the holy monk, Donglin Kingdom fell silent Fifty or sixty years ago, the first emperor passed away, and the new emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years now, Donglin Kingdom is naturally not willing to keep a low profile like this for a long time.

Xianshuo Palace, study room.

Xiahou Lingyuan looked at the message in his hand and said nothing.

Xiao Yi, who was kneeling at the bottom, did not dare to speak out. According to the news, hundreds of ministers from the Jinluan Palace wrote a letter today, asking the emperor to re-establish the crown prince, saying that the country cannot live without a heir.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty had thirteen heirs, including the fourteen in the belly of the concubine Xian. It sounds like a lot of heirs, but after a closer look, I realized that there is only one person who has the ability and qualification to sit on the crown prince. That is the tenth prince Xiahou Xiuji.

Xiahou Xiuji has just turned 11 years old this year, and he was born by Chen Jieyu in the palace. Because of his low status as a concubine, and because he didn't have much success in the Imperial College, no one would have guessed that the status of the prince was stable in the past The tenth prince will have this day, and now the crown prince is abolished, the second prince is sick, the fifth prince is demoted to a commoner, the seventh prince has half of foreign blood, the eleventh prince is only six years old, but the mother and concubine are just a beauty, and the twelve The prince is stupid, and the thirteenth prince is under two years old. From this point of view, the tenth prince is the most suitable prince.

The reason why Xiao Yi didn't dare to speak was not that the tenth prince might become the crown prince, but that the tenth prince and his mother and concubine were a little restless, and even sent crooked thoughts to the queen.

The thirteenth prince, Xiahou Xiuming, had a sudden fever yesterday. If Xiahou Lingyuan hadn't arranged for someone in the imperial hospital, the thirteenth prince would have been in danger.Because of the fever, it was late at night, and there were not many people on duty in the imperial hospital. It never occurred to me that the only five imperial physicians at that time were called to the tenth prince, because the tenth prince's hand was cut by broken porcelain.

The queen sent someone to announce an imperial doctor, but was stopped, saying that the hand injury of the tenth prince was serious.

Xiahou Lingyuan put down the news and asked Xiao Yi to check the people around Chen Jieyu, and he entered the palace by himself.

A Jieyu who had no sense of existence in the past is now so courageous. The matter of establishing a crown prince is not a certainty. She can change her previous low-key and become so arrogant. If there is no support behind her, he will definitely not believe it. .

In the queen's palace, the thirteenth prince is still lying on the bed. The fever is gone, but his body is still weak.

The corners of Xiaobai Tuanzi's eyes were rosy, and he looked at Xiahou Lingyuan with his mouth pursed, "Brother, I feel bad."

Xiahou Lingyuan sat by the bed, hugged his small body together with the thin quilt into his arms, patted it gently, and said softly, "Are you a brave little man?"

Bai Tuanzi said softly, "Yes."

Xiahou Lingyuan and Xiaotuanzi looked at each other, "Then this is uncomfortable, can you bear it?"

Bai Tuanzi sniffed, holding back the tears that were about to fall, "Yes."

"You're so good," Xiahou Lingyuan kissed him, "Brother will bring you a big toy next time as a reward."

Bai Tuanzi blushed slightly, nodded, then pointed to the other cheek, and whispered, "I want to kiss on this side too."

The queen was holding back her tears and standing aside, but when she heard this, she chuckled, Xiahou Lingyuan shook her head: "I'll wait for you to recover before we kiss."

Xiahou Lingyuan seldom kissed Bai Tuanzi. The last time Bai Tuanzi was lying in his infancy was when Bai Tuanzi was lying in his infancy. This time, seeing someone lying on the bed sick and weak made his heart ache. She cried as soon as she was born, and immediately laughed when she was born in his hands, like a little fool, and loved to lick his hands and face, making him drool every time.

If it is said that among Xia Qi's relatives, the little white dumpling he loves the most, worries the most, and can't let go of the most, ranks first, and the queens are all below him.

The queen stepped forward to persuade Xiahou Lingyuan to put down the little white dumpling, "Yuanyuan also misses you very much, just hug her for a while, otherwise it will be bad for you if you get too sick."

Xiahou Lingyuan smiled and put it down, but it was not because of the queen's words, but because he also had something to say to the queen.

After Bai Tuanzi fell asleep, the two went to the next door. The people in the Compassionate Ning Palace were all sent in by Xiahou Lingyuan, and they didn't dismiss the servants when they spoke, otherwise it would seem like they were conspiring.

Xiahou Lingyuan asked why Bai Tuanzi suddenly had a fever, the queen shook her head and said she didn't know, Xiahou Lingyuan asked what she had eaten yesterday, the queen said one by one, Xiahou Lingyuan immediately noticed the cakes sent by the queen mother.

The queen was puzzled: "I rewarded the pastry to the servants. Yuanyuan saw that she was greedy, so she just took a small piece. The servants are fine to eat."

Xiahou Lingyuan didn't say much and said that he would come back tonight. In the evening, Xiahou Lingyuan took Yao Qing into the Palace of Compassion. After Yao Qing took the pulse of Xiaotuanzi, he asked someone to write down the daily diet look down.

Yao Qing: "The little prince is poisoned."

The queen suddenly softened her body and was supported by the nurse beside her.

Sure enough, others were fine after eating it, but Xiaotuanzi was fine after eating it, because there was something in the pastry that was in conflict with what Xiaobai Duanzi ate every day.

Yao Qing comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the poison is very mild, it was discovered early, just pay more attention in the future."

Yao Qing gave the queen a small bottle of pills, "This is a detoxification pill, which can only cure common minor poisons. If there is something wrong, take one pill. Even if you can't cure the poison, you can suppress it."

The Queen nodded and sent them out.

Xiahou Lingyuan got the news from Xiao Yi, and sure enough the queen mother had a connection with Chen Jieyu, but there must be someone behind the queen mother, otherwise how could he even know the daily diet of Xiaobai Tuanzi? No need to think about it, he knew it was related to the Marquis of Zhenyuan The government can't get rid of the relationship.

Yuanyuan's matter is probably also testing whether there is anyone in the Compassion Ning Palace.He didn't intend to find out the spies from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but let people tell the empress about it, so be careful, this spy is still useful,

On another day, Chen Jieyu was promoted by the emperor, surpassed one rank, and was directly named a good concubine, one of the four concubines.

Three days later, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty praised the ten princes who had studied in the Ministry of War on the spot in the Jinluan Hall, which was a foreshadowing for him to be crowned prince.

The next day, the emperor postponed the morning court because something happened to the thirteenth prince, and the news of the harem could not be spread for a while. Everyone guessed that only Zhenyuan Hou's eyes were dark. What did that unworthy woman do?

The thirteenth prince disappeared in the harem. After several hours of searching, he finally found it in a hidden rockery cave. When he was found, he was hot all over, his face was flushed, and there were bruises on his wrists.

The empress was so worried that she passed out long ago. Now the emperor is guarding the Compassionate Ning Palace, looking at the big and small lying on the bed, he is full of anger, and his eyes are even more murderous.

He knew very well what the thirteen princes meant to the queen.

"Check!" he ordered.

In just one night, the spies of the Palace of Compassion and Ning were uncovered, tortured and interrogated overnight, and finally found out that she coaxed the little prince out, the little prince was hot all over because of the food she fed, and her master was the newly promoted Liang. concubine.

The emperor naturally didn't believe this one-sided statement, and after further investigation, he found out that the thirteenth prince had a fever at night a few days ago and couldn't find the imperial doctor. She lost, and directly demoted the Chen family who had just become a good concubine for only a few days to four ranks, and became a nobleman directly, and the palace given to live was next to the Leng Palace.

The Tenth Prince was also sent to be raised by Concubine De, and Concubine De was always by the Empress Dowager's side. On the surface, the Tenth Prince still had a concubine mother, but the older generation of courtiers knew that the Tenth Prince was abolished. Relegation, because the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is not good, so the ten princes were directly assigned to the queen mother's side.

Chen's mother's family was impeached by the appointed Metropolitan Procuratorate, and finally the house was ransacked, the whole family was exiled, and the palace was also cleaned up. People were executed, and everyone in the palace was in danger for a while, and they didn't dare to talk too much.

During that time, all the courtiers who made mistakes were severely punished by the emperor, and the courtiers did not dare to mention the matter of establishing a crown prince after Ming Xuan's bloody tricks. After all, the emperor is still in good health, and it is feasible to appoint a crown prince two years later.

In Xianshuo's mansion, Xiahou Linyuan sighed, he didn't expect his mother to be so resolute, when he rushed over to see Yuanyuan's appearance, he was startled, and his heart trembled in panic.

That's right, the queen planned this time, but maybe something went wrong and she couldn't find anyone, so she fainted in panic. The queen made this decision because she took precautions. Something was wrong, if it wasn't for the pill left by Yao Qing, I'm afraid it would have been a long time to toss this time.

Instead of being frightened every day, it is better to take the initiative to attack and kill the enemy with a single knife. This is what Xiahou Lingyuan persuaded her. The queen looked coldly, glanced at the sleeping thirteen princes, and finally nodded. The queen has no specific matters. Talking to him in detail, after he checked it out, he found that the mistake was because someone secretly wanted to save Xiaobai Tuanzi, but he didn't want to scare the snake away.

When Xiahou Lingyuan learned of the identity of that person, he was indeed shocked. The person was the eleventh prince Xia Houlan who was only six years old.

Xia Houlan was an existence that Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty did not want to admit, because his mother was originally a maid of the Huanyi Bureau, and Xia Houlan was born because Emperor Ming Xuan was drunk for a while.

Xia Houlan's concubine mother is a beauty, the one with the lowest status is not much higher than the maid, and even the maid who has a concubine dare to show her face. If she didn't have a son, she must have died of poverty by now.Xia Houlan's status was embarrassing, and he didn't go to the Imperial College, so when people talked about the prince in the palace, they naturally ignored him.

Xiahou Lingyuan laughed. Unexpectedly, after the fall of the prince, the children in his father's queen's courtyard would show up one by one. However, he was surprised that the eleventh prince was able to beat a strong and strong man at the age of six. Diao Nu, although it was a sneak attack, he valued his courage and ferocity very much.

In the bleak palace in the corner of the palace, Xia Houlan, who was boiling medicine, didn't know that he had been thoroughly investigated. At this moment, he was frowning, looking at a small head protruding from the kitchen door with a cold face.

When Bai Tuanzi finally saw him, he exposed his body, lowered his head and pointed at his fingers, and asked softly, "Brother, can I come in?"

Xia Houlan smelled the smoky smell of medicine and firewood in the hut, and looked at the plump-faced Bai Tuanzi in a brocade robe and jade robe, and said coldly, "No, I'm not your brother either, you can go."

Bai Tuanzi pursed his mouth when he heard the words, continued to point fingers, and looked at him pitifully with big eyes. Xia Houlan turned his head, poured the medicine into the medicine pot, and passed by without saying a word to Bai Tuanzi.

Bai Tuanzi thought he followed quietly, Xia Houlan stopped when he heard footsteps behind him, Bai Tuanzi also stopped, looked up at the sky, as if I didn't follow you, Xia Houlan continued walking, Bai Tuanzi continued to follow, Xia Houlan stopped again, and Bai Tuanzi stopped again.

Xia Houlan really regretted saving him that day. The two wanted to attack directly. After he knocked out one person, the other panicked so much that he thought someone was there, so he threw him in the cave. Come out and find yourself.

And he was very familiar with the remote cave, so he turned away from the man with all his twists and turns, went into the cave and saw that the villain was still angry, so he left some traces so that the palace people could find the villain.

This little thing learned to be smart. In order to find himself, he hid in the rockery and waited for him to appear, and then followed here. He already knew that this villain was the emperor's favorite prince and the queen's precious son. Now he followed him , he and his mother will also enter the eyes of the people in the harem. The most important thing is that he can't be found out that he stole the medicine from the palace, otherwise his mother...

Xia Houlan made up his mind and started trotting directly with the medicine pot. Bai Tuanzi behind him also ran when he saw this, but he was anxious, and he was small, so he fell heavily. Xia Ri's clothes were thin, and his knees They were all broken and bleeding.

Bai Tuanzi saw that his brother who had been kind to him had disappeared again, his body was in pain, and his mouth was about to cry. Suddenly, he felt that this place was a secret place between him and his elder brother, so he held back his tears and stood up slowly. , Only when he reached the place where there were palace people did he burst into tears.

In the days to come, whenever Bai Tuanzi had a chance, he would throw off the palace servants and come to find Xia Houlan. At first Xia Houlan still ignored him and even wanted to kill him, but for more than ten days in a row, no matter how fierce or frightened he was, Bai Tuanzi was soft, and he wasn't angry, he just called his brother softly with a pitiful voice and extremely wronged.After all, he was a child who had no playmates since he was a child. No matter how precocious he was, Xia Houlan couldn't bear Bai Tuanzi anymore.

Seeing Xia Houlan talking to him, Bai Tuanzi was willing to follow him. He was very happy and found time to accompany Xia Houlan to decoct medicine every day. Although he still couldn't enter the hut where Xia Houlan came out, he went up consciously. He grabbed the man's clothes and went with him to give people medicine. When Bai Tuanzi saw his elder brother calling the man's mother, he called the man's mother resolutely.

In the following days, Bai Tuanzi secretly took the things from the Palace of Compassion and Ning under Xiahou Lingyuan’s secret protection. Today is a delicious pastry, take a few pieces and hide it in his clothes, and tomorrow it will be delicious The fruit, hidden in his clothes, was brought over. The day after tomorrow, the queen gave him a small gold chain. He continued to bring it over. Xia Houlan refused to accept it, and lied to Bai Tuanzi that he had it himself.

Bai Tuanzi was smart and knew that his elder brother was short of money, so he wanted to give his elder brother the small box that the queen put away for him. The box was full of gold, silver and jewels, all of which were gold or silver gifts from the emperor. There are quite a lot of things in the box, and Bai Tuanzi can't carry it, so he can only drag it on the ground tied to a rope. The palace people on the road have already been dismissed by Xiahou Lingyuan's people. When he arrived in front of Xia Houlan, covered in sweat, his hands were already red and swollen, showing signs of broken skin.

"Brother, here you are." Bai Tuanzi's eyes were bright and he had a bright smile on his face.

Xia Houlan opened the box and saw something, his heart trembled violently, he was stunned for a while, then hugged Bai Tuanzi, his voice choked up: "Little idiot."

"Yuanyuan is not stupid," Bai Tuanzi retorted softly, "The queen mother said Yuanyuan is very smart."

Xia Houlan naturally confiscated the box of jewelry. He helped Bai Tuanzi get it to a place where no one was around, and then asked Bai Tuanzi to call his servants to help him take it back.

Bai Tuanzi was originally unwilling, but Xia Houlan looked at him coldly, so he nodded obediently.

Xiahou Lingyuan nodded at the news that Bai Tuanzi and Xia Houlan had been getting along in recent days, this Xiahoulan is not bad.

Xiahou Lingyuan asked Yao Qing to treat Xia Houlan's mother, but he met Xia Houlan in secret. He didn't know what agreement Xiahoulan had made with Xiahou Lingyuan. Two days later, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty happened to pass by this remote palace. Seeing Xia Houlan filially helping her long-ill mother out for a walk, although the two of them were dressed in shabby clothes and their faces were a little disheveled, as if they were malnourished, the smiles on their faces were like a warm spring breeze. The son blew away Xia Ri's irritability, and the affection between mother and son moved Emperor Xuan of Ming Dynasty.

"That's it?" Emperor Ming Xuan asked Chang An.

Chang An took a few glances, then bowed and replied, "That's the Eleventh Prince and his mother Zhou Meiren."

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty frowned and thought for a long time before he remembered who Miss Zhou was. He sighed, turned around and walked back, and then said: "I pass on my oral order to promote Miss Zhou as Zhaoyi."

Chang An said: "Yes."

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty asked again: "How is the performance of the Eleventh Prince in the Guozijian? Someone bring his past homework to me to have a look."

Chang An whispered: "This...well, Your Majesty, the Eleventh Prince did not go to the Imperial College." Before Ming Xuan Emperor got angry, Chang An hurriedly continued: "Because... because of the status of a beauty... ...too low."

The emperor naturally knew about Qian's wide-eyed, flattery and flattery in the palace, but he was still furious. No matter how he didn't take it seriously, the prince was still a prince, so how could he allow others to despise him.

The next day, apart from the sacrificial wine, six people from the Imperial College, Jian Cheng and the Doctor, were given [-] slaps by the emperor's order. When everyone didn't know why, they saw the father-in-law Chang'an who was serving Emperor Mingxuan respectfully welcome one person in. It was the eleventh prince Xia Houlan.

Xia Houlan ignored the other people's greetings, followed Jijiu into the classroom expressionlessly, sat on an empty table, and didn't say a word the whole time. It was not until after school that he looked up at the sky that he realized that he was I really stepped into this quagmire.

However, thinking of Bai Tuanzi's red and swollen palms, he became firm again. He only hated the so-called father and this magnificent palace. Although he yearned for freedom, he thought of that stupid Tuanzi being in danger every day In the midst of this, he resolutely stepped into the quagmire.

Someone next to him talked to him, saying that he had just come to Guozijian, and he could introduce the various places of Guozijian to him.Xia Houlan looked at the person who came, and recognized that it was the tenth prince Xiahou Xiuji. He heard that Bai Tuanzi was in danger that day, and it was his mother and concubine who did it.

Xia Houlan put away the indifference on his face but did not show enthusiasm, he said: "Thank you, brother ten emperors."

Silly Baituanzi, from now on, I will protect you from your danger.

The author has something to say: The Guozijian here is equivalent to the upper study room in the Qing Dynasty, and it is the place where the princes study.In fact, there was no Guozijian in the Ming Dynasty, and the princes learned from the internal attendant, accompanied by attendant reading, because the plot required it to be set up privately.
