What is the biggest anecdote in Beijing recently

That is when the crown princess gave birth, the evergreen tree next to the imperial mausoleum was struck by lightning, and there was also a fire near the capital. This kind of miracle is usually not treated when people are born, but it is better not to have such a miracle.

Some people come out and say that this grandson is a demon star, which will bring disaster to the whole country. Some people also said that this was a warning from God and the ancestors of the Yan family, because this grandson was not the child of the prince at all, but was born of adultery between the princess and the king of Shengjun.

Negative gossip is always more popular than complimenting others, and it spreads the fastest. Soon the news about the prince concubine's adultery with others and giving birth to a demon star spread all over the country, and even in some remote places, rumors have become a prince concubine. Having sex with a wild man will give birth to a monster that is inhuman and will bring disaster.

Although human beings don't completely believe in the myth of gods and monsters, they definitely hold awe. Not to mention the rumors about the emperor's grandson spread with nose and eyes, making those who didn't believe so much begin to doubt it.

"So, the rumors outside are that your grandson has three eyes, six arms, dark skin, and thick fangs?" Hua Xiwan drank tea, covered her mouth with a fan and smiled, "What does this mean? What a mess."

Hongying smiled and said, "No one outside has ever seen the emperor's grandson. The rumors are getting more and more outrageous. Isn't it normal?"

Hua Xiwan smiled, but she turned her head and thought, this is too coincidental. Seeing that the thunderstorm is coming, the crown princess is about to give birth. The thunder won't cut anything, just cut the evergreen tree of the emperor's mausoleum. There was a fire in the house, although some property was burnt, but no one was injured, as if someone knew that there would be a fire in the house and rescued people in advance.

"Bai Xia, when the fire broke out, who rescued the people in the house?" She lightly covered her stomach. She had her menstrual period today. Not only can she not eat ice bowls, but she can't even put ice in the house. It was hot and uncomfortable, and it was really uncomfortable.

"I heard that the patrol of Weiwei Temple happened to pass by and rescued people. Unfortunately, the fire was too big. Although people were rescued, some houses were burnt down." Bai Xia knew that Hua Xiwan was suffering, and called. After getting hot water to wipe her hands and face to cool down, she twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Hua Xiwan, and continued, "It's a coincidence, this Weiwei Temple patrol was previously managed by Mr. Zhang Houzhang, Later, Master Zhang went to Dali Temple and brought his deputy to fill the vacancy."

"Zhang Hou?" Hua Xiwan first thought of an honest face and a tall and straight body when she mentioned this person, "I heard that he suffered a lot of grievances in Dali Temple, how is he now?"

"Sometimes ago, someone impeached the Dali Temple Minister. After the Dali Temple Minister was dismissed, Mr. Zhang filled the vacancy. Now he is the Dali Temple Minister." Bai Xia took the handkerchief that Hua Xiwan had used, "the people outside Everyone said that Master Zhang is a fool and a fool, but they completely forgot that they laughed at Master Zhang not long ago for being stubborn, not flattering."

"Most people in the world are like this," Hua Xiwan said after wiping her neck and arms, feeling that she was finally not so sticky, and said in a good mood, "I think Zhang Hou's luck is also very good."

She raised her head and glanced outside the door, and there was a sudden gust of wind outside, and it seemed that it was about to start to rain again.

"Has the lord returned to the manor?" She suddenly remembered that Yan Jinqiu seemed to be very busy recently. Although he still tried to make time to accompany her every day, judging from the speed at which he fell asleep at night, the energy he spent recently was definitely several times the usual amount. times.

"This servant doesn't know, otherwise the servant will go and ask." Bai Xia glanced at the loquat tree that was swept up and down by the strong wind, and handed the basin to Hongying next to him, ready to go out.

"It's going to rain, don't go out," Hua Xiwan walked to the door, enjoying the power of the wild wind, and then pointed to Yan Jinqiu whose robes were flying not far away, "Isn't that back? ?"

Bai Xia turned his head and glanced, seeing that the prince was walking over with a few attendants, he smiled and stepped aside to stand.

"The wind is so strong, what are you doing standing at the door?" Yan Jinqiu walked in and touched Hua Xiwan's fingertips, and found a thin layer of cold sweat on her hands, and asked worriedly, "Why do you still sweat cold in such a hot weather? ,Physical discomfort?"

"Recai is standing at the door and blowing the air," Hua Xiwan whispered in his ear. Seeing that his face became uneasy, he stroked his lower abdomen and said, "Now do you know what's going on?"

Yan Jinqiu coughed dryly, glanced at the servants around him, raised his hand to let them back down, picked Hua Xiwan up on the bed, and then reached out and gently rubbed her lower abdomen, "Since you are not feeling well. , just sleep for a while, and when it's time for dinner, I'll call you again."

Maybe it was because it was the first time to do this kind of thing, Yan Jinqiu's movements were very unfamiliar and stiff, and he didn't dare to use too much force. Said: "Are you rubbing your stomach or tickling me?"

Yan Jinqiu's strength increased a little. After rubbing for a while, he saw that the breathing of the person on the bed became even, and after a deep sleep, he gently retracted his hand and covered her with a cool silk quilt.

There was a sudden crackling sound outside, as if a lot of rain had suddenly poured down from the sky. He walked to the window and looked at the banana tree that was smashed by the wind and rain, squinting his eyes in great mood.

A sudden thunder sounded, and he turned back to look at Hua Xiwan on the bed. Seeing that she was not awakened by the thunder, he quickly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. He reached out and patted the bulging quilt lightly, listening to the sound of rain outside the window. , the tenderness of the eyes can almost make people into a pool of water.

The sound of the rain is not noisy, it is more like another kind of tranquility and serenity.

When Hua Xiwan woke up, she found a person sitting next to her, turned her head, and saw Yan Jinqiu leaning on the bedside and holding a book, she covered her mouth and yawned: "It's so dark in the room, why are you here? Reading a book?"

"It's alright, it's quiet here," Yan Jinqiu threw the book aside, got up and walked to the window and closed the window before sitting next to Hua Xiwan again, "Just wait for dinner, just get up and wash your face first. ." After that, he clapped his hands, and the servants who were waiting outside filed in.

"Why did you close the window, it's so hot." Hua Xiwan got off the bed and stretched out her hand to let the maids wait and get dressed.

"You just got up from the bed, it's easy to get sick when it's hot and cold, so put on your clothes first," Yan Jinqiu sighed helplessly, "I told the pantry at night that they only cook light dishes. ."

"Oh," Knowing that the other party is treating her well, Hua Xiwan is not someone who doesn't know the good and bad, so she can only obediently put on her clothes and make up before letting people open the window.

She lay on the window and blew the wind comfortably, and did not forget to pull Yan Jinqiu over to lie down with her: "How long has it been raining outside?"

"You started going down soon after falling asleep," Yan Jinqiu stretched out his hand to wrap the strands of hair that fell on her cheeks behind her ears, and said, "You've been staying in the house these days, will you be bored?" Recently, due to the tense situation, various prefectures have reduced entertainment activities. He was worried that Xiwan would get sick from boredom by staying in the house every day.

Shaking her head, Hua Xiwan said with a smile: "My purpose in this life is to eat when I want, sleep when I want, and don't tell me to go out if I don't want to go out. No matter how tired I am when I go out, I just need to be careful when I speak. The tall ones also bow to flattery, do you think it's annoying?"

"I don't know how to raise such a lazy temperament," Yan Jinqiu chuckled softly, "If you don't like going out, don't go out. There will be a day when you will never salute anyone again."

Hua Xiwan: Hehe, even if he becomes emperor one day, he won't let her salute, and there is an empress dowager on her head. Can she salute

"Report! The Queen Mother is critically ill!"

Hua Xiwan swore that she never meant to curse the Queen Mother!

"What's going on?" Yan Jinqiu's reaction was unexpectedly calm to Hua Xiwan. She silently looked at Mu Tong who came in to report, and then suddenly realized that every time a major event happened, she would report it to Yan Jinqiu. Almost all of them are wood passers.

Her eyes wandered around Mu Tong and Yan Jinqiu. It seems that Mu Tong is very trusted by Yan Jinqiu

"I heard that in the afternoon, the Queen Mother sent a plate of cakes to the Queen Mother. Soon after the Queen Mother used it, she felt unwell. As a result, before the imperial doctor came, she spit out a mouthful of blood. After the imperial doctor came, she found out that the Queen Mother was poisoned. , the poison is exactly the same as the pastry sent by the queen."

The queen herself carried pastries to poison the queen mother? The queen is not brainless, she would do such a stupid thing

It seems that the queen has been calculated.

"Where's the queen?" Hua Xiwan said, "Is the queen imprisoned?"

"The people from Dali Temple have already put the queen in the sky prison to be guarded by heavy soldiers," Mu Tong was stunned for a moment. "It's just that the case has not yet been decided, and the queen mother is still in a coma."

"Prepare the carriage, the princess and I are going into the palace to visit the emperor's grandmother." Yan Jinqiu took Hua Xiwan's hand and said, "Let's go."

Mu Tong just wanted to remind the prince that the robe on his body was a little wrinkled, should he change it, but then he thought about it, maybe it would be better not to change it.

In the prison, the queen was sitting on the bed with her hair loose. Although she was a suspect of poisoning the queen mother, she was the mother of a country after all, so no one dared to neglect anything. There was no shortage of everything in the prison. The only thing she couldn't do was go out. .

The crown princess stood outside the prison door and looked at the queen, and sneered: "Mother, are you all right? My daughter-in-law is here to see you."

The queen looked at her coldly and said nothing.

"Do you think that if you work hard on Granny Wen, you can go to the mother and keep the child?" The Crown Princess sneered, "It's not that easy."

"What's there to be proud of when you give birth to a demon star," the queen sneered. "Do you think the grandson, who has been carrying such a reputation since birth, can inherit the throne?"

The Crown Princess was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "I never thought about letting this child compete for the throne. Back then, when I married the Crown Prince, I never thought about getting to this point. Back then, when you criticized me, the Crown Prince was left out in the cold. I even flirted with other concubines in front of me, can I have any complaints?"

"But even so, you still think I'm not good at everything," the princess said, and then suddenly laughed, "You're where you are today, that's because God has eyes. All these years, in order to prevent other concubines from having children. "Have you done any evil?"
