"Still angry." Yan Jinqiu put the steaming soup in front of Hua Xiwan and smiled softly: "Your favorite pigeon soup has been simmered for a long time, try it, it's very fresh."
Hua Xiwan glanced at him, drank the soup silently, rubbed the corners of her mouth and raised her eyebrows after drinking, "Everyone said that the lord is a literati, but I think the lord is obviously a strong man," she rubbed her waist. , snorted.
"In front of other people, I am naturally a gentleman, but in front of Xiwan, I can only become a gentleman..." Yan Jinqiu leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I'm hungry."
"Your Highness, you are so informal, do those women in the capital who adore you know that?" Hua Xiwan threw her handkerchief in his hand, stood up and said, "For the sake of Your Highness, I still stay away from You, Your Highness. Just a little."
Knowing that he made too much trouble this morning, Yan Jinqiu, who was stared at by his beautiful princess, was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and let Hua Xiwan taunt a few words, until Hua Xiwan finally calmed down. After getting angry, he leaned forward and said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, didn't you say a few days ago to watch Shuzhou's face-changing trick? A few days ago, I asked Mutong to invite the best Shuzhou opera troupe in the capital. Wangfu, I will accompany you to watch the face change later?"
Hua Xiwan glanced at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window and thought about it: "Forget it, let's wait until the snow stops, let them practice more in the house, this cold wind and snow, this is performed on the stage, It must not be frozen out."
"Xiwan is so kind-hearted, it's really my blessing."
Hua Xiwan heard the words and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "It doesn't matter whether it is good or not, I just don't like to let irrelevant people suffer for nothing because of trivial matters. As the saying goes, people don't offend me, I don't offend others, if someone offends me, let him not be people."
"It's true," Yan Jinqiu showed a sincere smile on his face, wrapped his hands around her key, and said with a light smile, "Xiwan and I are a natural match, no one can match."
Hua Xiwan smiled without saying a word. In terms of personality, she and Yan Jinqiu were indeed not kind people, but she was often the enemy, and I didn't. And Yan Jinqiu is more ruthless, belongs to the type that the enemy does not move, and he forces the opponent to move. But if it is said that they are a natural couple, it is a bit funny. Two people who love themselves more, how can they love others without any scruples
In her previous life, she was ups and downs in the entertainment industry, and she saw a lot of splits and splits. Those loves that started with true love all ended with labor and Yan. Divorce, derailment, cheating, unspoken rules, and wrapping are common things in the circle. These are just some famous entertainers, not to mention the current era when it is legal for such men to take concubines.
"I know you must not believe me," Yan Jinqiu's warm breath pressed against Hua Xiwan's neck, "but it doesn't matter, we still have a long time."
Hua Xiwan's eyes were lowered, and the corner of her mouth was hooked.
The news that Linping County Lord and Prince Xian's Mansion fell out quickly spread throughout the capital. Those who had been offended by Linping County Lord were afraid to take any action from the forces of Prince Xian's Mansion. After hearing the news, some female relatives were dismayed. Hold your breath and gossip behind your back.
"Who doesn't know that this county lord has always been aloof and looked down on others. In the past, he used to say that Princess Xian was not the one who was behind the scenes, and that Princess Xian had said something about her. Well, it's also my fault that Princess Xian was unlucky to have such a little sister-in-law."
"What's this? Wasn't this guy making a fuss about getting married back then? I heard that the family who married in the past was not very high on the stage, and the Luo family did a lot of immoral things in Jiangcheng by taking advantage of her power. And that The assassinated county horse, flirted with an oiran in Jiangcheng two years ago, and wrote lyrics and music for that oiran, if it wasn't for her trouble, what would have happened to the county horse and the oiran."
"Actually, thinking about her is also pitiful. I thought she was married to a good man, but who knew that the Luo family was like that, and Luo Zhongzheng was not a single-minded person, so her persistence in the capital a few years ago became a reality. A joke."
"Who says it's not, it's both pitiful and hateful. It's pitiful for her to pay her a wrong heart, but it's a pity that she doesn't care about anything for a man."
The women in Beijing gathered together and talked about the matter of the Linping County Lord, all with emotion on their faces, but in fact, it was just that life was too dull, and the matter of the Linping County Lord happened to be their talk.
Some people think that the Linping County Lord is so terrible that even the people next to her own pillow dare to do it, but more people are laughing at her, because everyone with discerning eyes knows that the Linping County Lord can't kill the Linping County horse, but what's the point? As for the relationship, the emperor wants to protect the crown prince, so the only person who kills Luo Zhongzhen is the Lord of Linping.
But no matter how subjective these people feel about Linping County, many people in the royal family feel that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. Today, the Linping County Lord took the blame for the prince. In the coming day, who will become the prince's shield
The prince is so absurd, but he is the heir of a country, and their future of the Jokhang Dynasty is in jeopardy.
Above the court, Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhang Hou was once again scolded by the emperor. Anyway, since the prince was put into the heavenly prison, the officials of Dali Temple were brought out by the emperor almost every day to be scolded. I'm almost used to it.
"This matter does not need to be discussed again. The Linping County master hired a murderous horse to kill the county horse. This move is really vicious and his heart can be punished!" Emperor Qilong waved his hand, and the case about Luo Zhongzhen became a foregone conclusion.
The whole court was quiet, all the timid officials buried their heads deeply, and some members of the royal family had ugly expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty, this case is full of doubts, so we can't be so hasty..."
"Shut up!" Emperor Qilong interrupted Zhang Hou's words, looked at him coldly and said, "You were the one who said Linping County Master was suspicious, and now you are the one who said there were many doubts. I transferred you to Dali Temple to let you investigate the case. , not for you and the mud. If it's not that Linping County hired a murderer to kill, then who do you think it might be?"
Zhang Hou opened his mouth, looked at the imposing emperor on the dragon chair, closed his mouth helplessly, touched his head to the ground, and said no more.
Several members of the royal family looked at King Xian, who was standing in the first row on the left, as if to see his attitude.
"Your Majesty," Yan Jinqiu took a step forward with his left foot and bowed: "Wei minister thought that my sister loved the county horse very much, so why would she be willing to hurt him?"
"King Xian's remarks are bad. How many women in the world do things that are incomprehensible to ordinary people because of love and hate," Jing Ping retorted when he heard the words, "Everyone knows that Linping County Master was in order to marry Luo County Ma. It's understandable that when he found out that Luo Junma had treated her unfaithfully, he had murderous intentions."
The ministers were speechless when they heard the words. If this kind of divine logic was true, the capital would not know how many men died. Don't talk about others, just say that he is Jing Pingbo. His previous first wife came from the branch of the Zhang family. Let the Chen family reconcile with the original man, and then he turned around and married Chen into the family.
Although they were not as particular about the Jokhao dynasty as the previous dynasty, they were too indulgent to act like Uncle Jing Ping.
"I heard earlier that Mrs. Zhang is infatuated with the uncle, respecting the old man and caring for the young son," Yan Jinqiu said with a smile, "Is this true?"
Uncle Jing Ping's face turned red from the choking, and he himself knew that what he did in those days was not kind, but now that Yan Jinqiu said this, where can he find a refutation.
"Uncle, you stand here well, it shows that it is not common to take people's lives because of love and hatred." Yan Jinqiu bowed his hands in the direction of the dragon seat, "Please the emperor to investigate."
Someone in the hall laughed lightly, but he didn't dare to laugh too clearly, so Uncle Jing Ping didn't know who was laughing at him, so he had to hide in the corner with a red face and dare not speak any more.
"I know that my nephew has a benevolent and honest temperament, but this is not a child's play. The Lord of Linping County has done such a bad thing, and I have to punish." Emperor Qilong also knew that this matter was sorry for King Xian's family, so he said, "However, since Luo Zhongzhen was disrespectful to the royal family and acted hatefully, I avoided the death penalty of Linping County Lord, removed her rank as County Lord, and downgraded her to County Lord, with fifteen sticks, a fine of five thousand taels of silver, and a salary suspension of three. In the future, you must not leave the capital without permission."
Yan Jinqiu knelt down slowly and said, "Thank you for your grace."
This punishment is really not heavy, but in the capital where nobles are everywhere, a county owner who was ordered by the emperor to be punished with a cane, and who was also charged with murdering his husband, in the eyes of others, it means that there is nothing left in face, in this life I can't get rid of this stain until I die.
Everyone present knew that if King Xian hadn't stood up, I'm afraid that this Linping county lord would end up even worse. Maybe even the county lord's title could not be kept, and then her pair of children would be pitiful.
Thinking about the rumors about the Linping County Lord making a riot in the palace of Xian Wang in the past few days, the ministers sighed in their hearts, this Xian Wang is good in everything, but he did not have a good relative, even his own compatriots and sisters will tease him. hind legs.
After the court, several members of the royal family surrounded Yan Jinqiu. They wanted to persuade him, but they didn't know where to start, because everyone knew in their hearts that Luo Zhongzhen's assassination had nothing to do with the Linping county magistrate. But the emperor wants to take her to blame for the prince, what can they do for these clans who seem to be noble but have no real power
At this juncture, King Xian is still willing to take the lead of the Linping County Lord, which is already very kind. If the Linping County Lord did not insist on seeing the Jiangcheng Luo family, how could this happen today.
The emperor's destiny is hard to be violated, and the destiny is hard to be violated.
"Ziling, now above the court... The matter of the county lord of Linping, you have done your best, don't mention it again in the future, so as not to anger your majesty, and even sink yourself into it." Xu Wang stroked his gray beard and walked to Yan. Beside Jinqiu, he smiled and said, "This winter is getting colder and colder, and I am old and old. It is time to ask for a sick leave to recuperate at home."
When he said this, Xu Wang's face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't see the slightest sickness.
Yan Jinqiu bowed and said: "You are serious, you are the humerus of the court. If you take a break from illness, wouldn't the emperor lack a capable assistant?"
"When you are old, you should recognize your old age," Xu Wang laughed and looked back at the golden palace, "Older people can't step on muddy water. The old eldest son is crazy how old you are, but He has a rigid temperament, let him walk around with you more in the future, learn from your graceful demeanor, so that no matter how you look at it, it will be a dull piece of wood."
"The prince is a stable man, how can he be rigid," Yan Jinqiu's smile became more obvious, "It's just for the two of us to improve each other."
"Well, young man, it's time to learn more." Xu Wang nodded and walked away with his beard.
As soon as Luo Zhongzhen's case was over, Emperor Qilong released the crown prince from the Heavenly Prison under the pressure of his clan, but instead of returning it to the Prince's Mansion, he was placed under house arrest in the Suzaku Palace to show that he, the emperor, did not No favoritism intended.
However, this move is just for others to see. The environment of Tianjing and Suzaku Palace is very different. Except that the prince can't move freely in it, the cost of food and clothing is the same as before. Hearing that he finally has After the child, I happily ate half a bowl of rice.
I don't know if it was because he ate half a bowl of rice after he got out of the prison. That night he felt unbearable abdominal pain. He went out several times within half an hour. Xuan Tai doctor.
Although the Suzaku Palace couldn't let the prince out, but it didn't say that it couldn't let people in, so the queen met the prince very smoothly, and when she saw the prince who had gained a lot of weight, the queen's original bitter tears were also choked back, and she just sat down. , the prince covered his stomach again and went out to Christine.
After going back and forth twice, the imperial doctor finally arrived, and after piercing a few big acupoints for the prince with a silver needle, the diarrhea finally stopped.
"His Royal Highness, although Wei Chen used a needle to stop the diarrhea, it was only a temporary effect, but the medicine must be taken." After the imperial doctor issued the order, he got up and went to the prince to get the medicine.
"Wait a minute," the queen called the imperial doctor, her expression changed several times, and she said in a deep voice, "Take the medicine carefully, and ask the prince to recover as soon as possible."
"Yes." The Imperial Physician had some doubts in his heart. Is such a sentence worth the embarrassment for the Queen
However, he had long been accustomed to the complicated thoughts of the people in the harem. The imperial physician didn't even think about it, he turned around and left the Suzaku Palace.
"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" The prince lay on the bed sullenly, noticing that the queen was looking at him in the wrong way, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"It's okay," the queen pulled the quilt for him. "The princess is pregnant now, and you are not at ease here in this palace alone, so you are going to let Chen Liangdi come to the Vermillion Bird Palace to serve you. What do you think?"
"Chen Liangdi is dull and boring, why do you want her to come?" The prince didn't like Chen Liangdi's dullness and frowned, "It's better to let Zhao Liangdi come, anyway, to know what she is interested in."
"Bengong asked her to come here to take care of your body, not to have fun with you," the queen sighed, "I don't know how many people are staring at you now. Think about these things, if you don't want Chen Liangdi to come, let the eunuch serve you."
The difficult life in the prison made the crown prince a lot more honest, so the queen said this, he didn't make a noise, but pinched his nose and acquiesced. Although he didn't like Chen Liangdi's dullness, one is better than none.
"Prince concubine, mother and queen, how much trouble do you have to worry about, it would be great if it were a son." Thinking that he already had a queen, the crown prince said in a good mood, "What did the royal father say?"
"Your father is very happy," the queen looked away from the prince and said in a flat tone, "There are guards in the prince's house, and the female officials who are serving are all from the palace, so you don't have to worry."
The prince was relieved: "It seems that the father also attaches great importance to this child, which shows that he does not hate me."
"You're not feeling well, rest early," the queen stood up. "It's time for this palace to go back."
The prince thought the queen was a little strange, but he turned over and fell asleep without asking any further questions. After staying in the Heavenly Prison for a few days, the silk quilt in the palace is the most comfortable.
The farce in the capital finally ended with the Linping County Lord becoming the Linping County Lord, and the assassination of Luo Zhongzheng was put down just like that. Although the Luo family who rushed to the capital were unwilling, they could only die. They were in Jiangcheng, and they were able to run rampant in Jiangcheng only by relying on the power of Linping County Lord. Now that Luo Zhongzheng is dead, and the county magistrate of Linping has become a murderer, what can they say, what can they say
Are you saying that the emperor's punishment was too light, or that Luo Zhongzheng died unjustly
Thunder, Thunder, Rain and Dew are all graces. Their little Luo family is in the capital, and they don't even have a place to stand. How dare they dare to offend any noble person in the capital
In the end, what they got was nothing more than a jar of ashes and a bunch of rewards that were neither light nor heavy. They were sent out of the capital without even seeing the emperor's face. As for Luo Zhongzheng's pair of children, they didn't dare to ask for it. Even if Yan Jinling was no longer the county lord, she was still a county lord. Would they dare to ask him for a child from Luo's family
Luo Zhongzheng is dead, then it is only natural for the child to be brought up by his mother, so what place does their Luo family have to talk about
"Linping County Lord?" Hua Xiwan looked at Yan Jinqiu in surprise, "Your Majesty really... put this on her head?"
This is too obvious. I'm afraid that half of the people in Beijing will not believe this result. Didn't Emperor Qilong's move make everyone feel chills
The so-called sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox, Emperor Qilong didn't even want to do a full play, and really didn't care about other people.
"I've tried my best to beg for the title of a county lord," Yan Jinqiu said slowly after drinking a sip of hot tea, "If she comes back in the future, there is no need to receive her in the house. Our sister and brother, except for what she did to me. Apart from resentment, there is nothing left."
Hua Xiwan heard the words and played with the jade comb in her hand, without making a sound.
Not long after, I heard from Mutong that the prince was seriously ill.
"Didn't the prince just come out of the heavenly prison yesterday, why did he become seriously ill overnight?" Hua Xiwan looked at Mutong strangely, maybe because she was used to living in the heavenly prison, and suddenly returned to the gorgeous and comfortable palace, Become unaccustomed
"In the middle of the night last night, the prince suddenly had persistent diarrhea. After the imperial doctor asked the pulse and took the medicine, it was already Daan. Who knew that after this morning, the prince suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, and his whole body became hot." Mu Tong said worriedly, "Your Majesty has My usual imperial doctor was sent over, and it is said that the situation is very dangerous, and the queen has already knelt down to the Buddhist hall to pray for the crown prince."
Why does this symptom look like poisoning
But is it really useful to pray for a person like the prince who does not usually accumulate blessings? If the Jokhao Dynasty really wanted such a person to be the emperor in the future, it would be better to be... Feeling that she thought too much, Hua Xiwan coughed dryly and turned to look at Yan Jinqiu: "Jinqiu, this matter..."
"The prince is the heir of a country. How can we sit comfortably if he is seriously ill? Let's go to the palace to visit." Yan Jinqiu looked at the sky outside, and then said, "It's still early, let's change our clothes and go back. Not too late."
The translation of this sentence is that let's go slowly, is it not good to go too early
If you have something to say, it is really the fault of the royal family and the family. If this goes on, she will be infected.
When visiting a doctor, you need to wear plain but not dull clothes. After all, if people are not doing well, you will wear dull clothes. Isn't this cursing people's early death
After choosing a water-colored rabbit fur palace skirt to put on, and filling in a few pieces of jewelry, Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu got into the carriage together. There was a charcoal basin in the carriage, so she didn't feel cold even though the wind was howling outside.
"I always feel that this kind of weather with howling cold wind is more suitable for lying in bed," Hua Xiwan lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and was frightened by the biting cold wind blowing in. Xiangming, reading the small talk book is the enjoyment."
"Have you read the little talk book that someone sent you a few days ago?" Yan Jinqiu put her hand in his own, "If you don't like it, I'll ask you to find something interesting for you. ."
"There are a few books that are still eye-catching. Anyway, they are used to pass the time. I don't pay attention to it," Hua Xiwan pulled her hand, but did not pull it out, she simply leaned her whole body on Yan Jinqiu's body, and then In a soft voice, "Someone told me that the princess' pregnancy is very suspicious, look..."
Yan Jinqiu put his other hand on her shoulder, and said in a flat tone: "The prince can't bear children at all, where will he be?"
Hearing this, Hua Xiwan's thought flashed through her mind, and she frowned: "Then the Crown Princess is trying to save the Crown Prince's false pregnancy?"
"The pregnancy is really pregnant, but the child is not the prince's," Yan Jinqiu smiled: "I'm afraid even the queen knows about it."
"Since the queen knows..." Hua Xiwan's expression changed suddenly, could it be true that this happened as she guessed, "Could it be that this child is..."
This matter challenged her three views a bit, and she felt as if she could not speak.
Yan Jinqiu looked at her with a half-smile, and asked leisurely, "What is it?"
Hua Xiwan raised her eyebrows: "Where did the lord think, I didn't say anything."
"I didn't ask anything," Yan Jinqiu put his forehead against hers and laughed deeply, "Those who know me are Xiwan."
"Tsk." Hua Xiwan wanted to tell him, don't be sentimental, but she didn't say it.
She should be generous and let this man satisfy himself.
At this time, the imperial physicians in the palace were kneeling outside the Suzaku Palace. Several elderly imperial physicians passed out because the snow had melted under their knees, and they turned into their trouser legs.
But they fainted, and no one dared to help them, so as long as these old doctors were allowed to lie in the snow, whether they could save their lives depended on their own destiny.
When Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu came together, they saw three or four imperial doctors collapsed in the snow, with several people kneeling beside her. She paused at her feet and sighed softly.
Yan Jinqiu turned to look at her, took her hand and said, "Let's go."
In the palace, the life and death of others cannot be decided by their husband and wife.
