Zhaozhao was five months old, and when he was lying down, he turned over. After turning over, he had to look at his mother first, as if he had done something extraordinary and hoped that his mother would praise her. The daughter is beautiful and cute. Song Jianing does not feel tired of accompanying her daughter every day. Her energy is occupied by her during the day. Only at night, when her daughter falls asleep, Song Jianing lays down silently, all the sounds are silent, and the sourness of longing will come to my heart. .

Where did Wang Ye go to the Yellow River now? The peach blossoms bloom early, the Yellow River is flooded in spring, is the water potential big

Before going to bed, she was always thinking about it. At night, Song Jianing had several nightmares. She dreamed that her prince was standing on the dyke when a flood suddenly hit in the distance. , the monstrous wave rushed in front of her in an instant... Song Jianing woke up suddenly, hearing her daughter's humming cry, she reached out to touch it, and the little girl urinated again...

The wet nurse slept under the bed, woke up when she heard the sound, and skillfully helped the little princess put on a clean underclothing. Zhaozhao closed his eyes and devoured it, Song Jianing patted his daughter unconsciously, and unconsciously began to think of the prince again. Wang Ye left Beijing at the beginning of February, and a letter from home came at the end of February. The next letter will probably have to wait until the end of this month, right

Thinking about it, fell asleep.

When Lin's mother and son came over the next day, Song Jianing had just pushed her daughter to stroll in front of the cherry forest in Baiguoyuan. In mid-March, the cherries on the treetops were already turning red. Song Jianing came to visit every day. Today, he found that the cherries were even redder. Song Jianing was overjoyed and ordered Liu Xi: "Have someone make the cherries on the treetops red. Take them all off."

Liu Xi nodded with a smile and went to make arrangements immediately.

Song Jianing carried her daughter out, sat in the Dequ Pavilion, lowered her head and teased her daughter: "The cherries are ripe, let's send them to the father and let the father have a taste."

Zhaozhao blinked her big eyes and stared at her mother's lips. Although she didn't understand what her mother was saying, she smiled when she smiled.

At that moment, Song Jianing vaguely saw a trace of the prince's shadow on his daughter's face, which resembled hers. She bowed her head to kiss her daughter, and the two of them were playing with each other. Song Jianing was overjoyed when she heard that her mother's younger brother was coming, and immediately put her daughter back in the cart and went to the main courtyard to see her mother.

Seeing that her mother had something to say, Song Jianing asked her wet nurse brother to play with her daughter in the yard, and she invited her mother to the inner room alone.

Lin thinks, as a princess, her daughter does not need to be involved in the important affairs of the court, but she has to know everything she should know. Therefore, I will start with Zhao Pu's return to Beijing, and give her a detailed introduction to Zhao Pu, the father of the two dynasties. Among the achievements, the grievances between Zhao Pu and Emperor Xuande were omitted, and only the grievances between Zhao Pu and Xu Wei, the prime minister of the dynasty, were mentioned.

One is the former prime minister and the other is the current prime minister. Although Song Jianing is now a high-ranking princess, she still feels that a high-ranking official like the prime minister is far away from her, and they are like people on the stage, so her mother said it carefully, and she listened to it all as a story. , it has nothing to do with her anyway. Song Jianing was surprised when his mother mentioned Zhao Pu's will to Emperor Xuande.

The Queen Mother's edict, after the emperor's death, should the throne be passed on to the emperor's uncle, King Qin

However, the one who was the emperor in the last life was her Shou Wangye.

"What is An An thinking?" The daughter's expression changed too obviously, and Lin asked while suppressing her surprise. She has always felt that her daughter is heartless and only knows how to eat, drink and sleep. Last year, her daughter refuted Princess Rui, which made Lin look very impressed. Could it be that her daughter can understand the various things after the throne

She can understand, or because Guo Boyan hinted.

"The Queen Mother, why do you want to issue such a widow?" Since her mother asked, Song Jianing asked her the most incomprehensible point.

Lin was silent, the will itself was too involved, she asked Guo Boyan, Guo Boyan didn't say anything, and told her not to think too much. Lin's trust in Guo Boyan, so she also perfunctory daughter said: "The queen mother has her own reasons, in short, those have nothing to do with us, mother came to see you today, mainly to tell you two things. First, you go to the palace or enter the palace Now, listen to other people talking about these things, you can know what you have in mind, don't interrupt, and secondly, the next time the lord sends a letter to the family, when you reply, simply mention Mr. Zhao and the edict, no need to say more, the family is the main thing."

Song Jianing nodded thoughtfully.

After his mother left, Song Jianing was distracted while playing with his daughter, and his thoughts returned to the puzzle of how the prince got on the dragon chair in his previous life. In the end, Song Jianing simply gave up, that is her husband is her man, he is the emperor, she will follow Zhanguang to be the queen, he is just the prince, she will feel at ease to be the princess for him, as long as the prince treats her well to her daughter, he is right She doesn't care how others are.

"Princess, the cherries have been picked." Liu Xi came in with a basket of red cherries and said with a smile.

Song Jianing looked at the basket of cherries and thought of her mother's words, and she felt that it was not appropriate to send cherries at this time. Yesterday, the palace had just issued a widow, and she sent cherries to the prince today, which would easily make people suspect that she was impatient and tipped off. With the decision, Song Jianing asked Liu Xi to divide the cherries into three parts according to the old practice, and give one to the palace, the Chu palace, and the madam. This is the rule set by the prince.

At the end of the month, Song Jianing first received the letter from the prince.

A page of rice paper was half full, and he briefly introduced his itinerary this month. Song Jianing laid out the map, facing the prefectures and counties around the Yellow River, his eyes moved along the footsteps of the prince, and finally settled on Chan, which is three hundred miles away from the capital. State. After talking about the itinerary, the letter also came to an end: "Everything is fine here, how are you and Zhaozhao? Don't read."

The prince can only say four words, so he has no scruples in writing letters.

Song Jianing glanced at her daughter, who was sleeping sweetly on the bed. She spread out paper, researched ink, and wrote a reply.

Because they were going to deliver fresh fruits like cherries, the guards of the palace who delivered the letter set off before dawn, hurried horses and whips, changed horses halfway, and finally arrived at the inn where the two princes were staying after more than two hours. It happened that the people of Chanzhou were offering sacrifices to the river gods on the banks of the Yellow River today. The prefect invited King Shou and King Gong to watch the ceremony. Zhao Heng was about to leave, and he had already walked to the front yard. .

Zhao Heng squeezed the bulging envelope, his eyes softened, and he returned to the main room, sitting alone on a chair reading the letter.

Song Jianing's letter is half a letter from home and half a picture she drew. Zhao Heng looked at the paintings first. There were five paintings, all of them were of his daughter. If Zhao Heng praised the painting level of his own princess, he would definitely coax her, but looking at the white and plump little girl in the painting, she obviously didn't look like the beautiful daughter he remembered at all. It is conceivable that her daughter is wearing embroidered plum blossoms. His little clothes were lying on his back on the bed, imagining his daughter sitting obediently on the couch, imagining her lying there and smiling back at him...

Zhao Heng returned to his heart like an arrow.

Zhao Heng looked at the five paintings three times from beginning to end. He was worried that he was about to leave, so he put them away for the time being, and then picked up her home letter. What she wrote were the daily trifles of coaxing her daughter. If a staff member presented such an article, Zhao Heng could see ten lines at a glance, but no matter how trivial what she wrote, Zhao Heng read every word carefully.

Seeing her mentioning the widow of Zhao Pu and the Empress Dowager, Zhao Heng's warmth in his heart because of his wife and daughter instantly became invisible.

The family letters and portraits were all put into envelopes. Zhao Heng personally put the envelopes in the study and set off as usual. The fourth prince, Prince Gong, had been waiting for him for a while. He learned from the serving post that the third sister-in-law had sent a letter to the family. King Gong smiled and joked: "Third brother, did the sister-in-law bring cherries? Then you score half of my points. Don't eat alone."

In the letter, Song Jianing was especially attentive, saying that she picked all the cherries, and Zhao Heng didn't want to share the princess's thoughts with others, so he casually said, "The journey is long, and the cherries are already rotten."

Prince Gong didn't quite believe it. Just as he was about to question it, Eunuch Fu bent down and smiled, "Your Highness wants to eat cherries, so I will order someone to buy some fresh ones."

King Gong looked at Father-in-law Fu's smiling appearance, and was sure that the third brother didn't want to give him the chicken intestines, but a man should not care about this trivial matter. He just thought of the gentle and beautiful third sister-in-law, and compared his own Li Mulan, who had nothing to do with gentleness. , Prince Gong couldn't help but secretly envy the third brother.

The brothers got into the carriage separately.

The curtain was lowered, Zhao Heng sat on the narrow couch, and fell into contemplation in front of the slightly swaying curtain. He had already known about the changes in the courtroom that she mentioned in the letter, and he also knew that shortly after Zhao Pu entered Beijing, the deputy prime minister, Lu Xun, fell ill and returned to the mansion to recuperate. The emperor agreed, Zhao Pu once again worshipped the prime minister, and Xu Wei temporarily took the place of the deputy prime minister.

Queen Mother's decree...

As soon as the edict came out, the uncle Qin Wang became the recognized heir, which was indeed not good for the father, but when the great ancestor was on the throne, Zhao Pu had the confidence to oppose the father. Now that the father is the king, it is too late for Zhao Pu to please the father. Continue to fight against your father and blatantly support your uncle, King Qin? What's more, Zhao Pu was able to enter Beijing and have the opportunity to give his widow. He must have obtained the acquiescence of his father and emperor first.

Therefore, the fundamental purpose of that edict should be to stop the people's suspicion of the father and the emperor. It is Zhao Pu's surrender to the father, not to support the uncle. But in this way, the uncle became the future emperor in the eyes of the common people and courtiers. Since the father accepted the edict, he had to recognize the uncle's status as the heir. Thinking of this, Zhao Heng frowned again.

Based on his understanding of his father, the father would never willingly give the throne to others. So, how is the father going to take back his uncle's qualification to inherit the throne

Since childhood, Zhao Heng had no uncle and nephew relationship with King Qin. He was not worried about the uncle, he was only worried about his brother who was close to the uncle...

Zhao Heng closed his eyes, his face sinking like water. If he had known that such an accident would happen, even if the Yellow River burst its banks, he would not take the initiative to take on this errand. Now that others are not in Beijing, who can persuade his brother if an accident occurs? The river cruise was a big deal, and Zhao Heng couldn't give up halfway and return to Beijing without an edict. He could only hope that his father would act later.

After thinking about it all the way, the carriage came to the river, and the prefect of Chanzhou led the local officials to wait for a long time.

Zhao Heng put away his sadness and leaned out, his expression was cold and alienated, and he was as handsome as a fairy, which aroused the admiration of the onlookers.

"Three Highness, Fourth Highness, please this way." Liu Zhifu respectfully said.

Zhao Heng and Prince Gong nodded and led the officials to the viewing platform. When they reached the platform, there were still two quarters of an hour before the auspicious time for offering sacrifices to the river god. Liu Zhifu asked the maids to serve tea first. Zhao Heng looked sideways at the water of the Yellow River, but did not pay attention to the maid serving the tea. King Gong looked around, and suddenly found that the maid serving the third brother was actually a plump beauty!
