Xiao Tan knew and went out with a sense of interest. Xiao Xuan grabbed Xie Yunqing into his arms and buried his head in her neck, "Did you miss me?"
"How can I miss you so much time?" Xie Yunqing gently combed his hair with his fingertips, "Your son toss me every day."
"It's a girl." Xiao Xuan corrected.
"Okay, if it's a son, wouldn't you want to throw him out?"
Xiao Xuan was a little guilty, he did think so.
"Xiao Xuan, you'd better be mentally prepared. We have very few girls in the Xie family. I don't know if I can give birth to a girl for you."
Xiao Xuan drooped his ears, "The girl is so beautiful, how wonderful, I don't want a brat."
Xie Yunqing twisted his ears, "I can warn you, if you are a son, if you dare to show a little disgust, I will throw you out."
Xiao Xuan quickly said that he didn't dare.
This is pretty much the same.
Xie Yunqing saw that he looked a little tired, so he said: "Go into the house and wash your face, rest and rest."
Xiao Xuan smelled his body, stayed in the palace for a day and a night, keeping his spirit tense at all times, and had no chance to take a bath. At this moment, he smelled his body almost rotten.
"Let the maid fetch water, and I will clean it myself, don't smoke you and the child." Xiao Xuan leaned over and put his ear to Xie Yunqing's abdomen, "Have you been obedient in the past two days? Didn't you bully your mother-in-law? "
Xie Yunqing gave him a light push and smiled: "How can he understand you?"
"He really kicked me!" Xiao Xuan said in surprise. He could feel that his face was kicked sturdily, but then Xiao Xuan's face was bitter, "I must be a kid with such great strength."
Xie Yunqing had no doubt at this moment that if she really gave birth to a son, she would definitely be thrown out by Xiao Xuan.
After washing, Xiao Xuan lay in his arms around Xie Yunqing, he gently stroked Xie Yunqing's lower abdomen, his eyes were gentle and narrow, and the couple enjoyed the warmth at this time.
"How are things in the palace handled?"
Xiao Xuan pecked on Xie Yunqing's lips, "Don't worry, if I'm on the stage, are you afraid that things won't work out?"
What Xie Yunqing was worried about was not that Xiao Xuan was unable to deal with Xiao Yu, nor was it that the emperor’s conspiracy, Xiao Xuan understood the emperor’s way.
Xiao Yu's heart was naturally deep, but they had already figured out Xiao Yu's details. The power of the emperor had already been emptied by Xiao Yu, and it was nothing to be afraid of.
What Xie Yunqing worries about is if Xiao Yu is pulled down, whether the rest of the imperial concubine and prince will have different thoughts.
The harem concubines are pregnant with ghosts, and Xie Yunqing, who has dealt with them in the previous life, can't understand them better. Everyone has their own careful thoughts, and the seemingly harmonious harem, but in fact, the dark tide is surging. Everyone seems to have nothing to do with the world, calm as water, but ambition is bigger than anyone.
"Xiao Xuan, you have to be well, my child and I are waiting for you at home."
He held her face against her forehead, and he sucked her lips, his eyes soft and lingering so that Xie Yunqing almost melted into it.
Xiao Xuan redeployed the patrol of the palace, and told them to protect the princess and princess, and then led his men into the palace.
With Xiao Yu being deprived of the title of prince and breaking into the dungeon, it was the thoughts of the concubines and princes.
The concubines and princes have been running between Cining Palace, Chengqian Palace and Changqiu Palace for several days. Naturally, the emperor's face is not visible, but in any case, let the emperor know how much they care about him.
Cheng Qiangong is now under the control of Xiao Xuan and the Queen Mother.
In the early morning, the entire Danyang city was bathed in the morning light.
The Queen Mother and Xiao Xuan stood on the highest tower in Danyang City, overlooking the rows of buildings. The morning mist gradually dissipated, and the solemn buildings appeared in front of them.
This huge imperial city, which has stretched for hundreds of years, is buried with countless winds, currents and secrets. No one can see its truth.
Reality.
The queen mother was still majestic, but her eyes became more solemn.
For this grandson she loves most, the Queen Mother undoubtedly has a lot of guilt in her heart.
In the past, she only hoped that Xiao Xuan would be safe and sound throughout her life, but now she finally understands Xiao Xuan's ambitions. Since it is an eagle, it should belong to the vast world and cannot be kept in a cage like a canary.
"Xuan'er, the road to the throne of the emperor has always been rough and bumpy. Even if you sit on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, what awaits you will be a lifetime of loneliness. Would you still choose this path?"
Scenes of past events appeared before Xiao Xuan, thinking of studying with Gu Shoufu when he was a child.
Gu Pingzhang never shy away from teaching him the emperor's tactics. At that time, every time Gu Pingzhang mentioned his late father, he always showed a sad expression. When he was very young, Xiao Xuan had already clearly realized that one day he would embark on the road of fighting for power.
"Grandma, I have known since I was a child that the blood of the Xiao family is flowing through my body, and the desire for power and the throne has penetrated into my blood. Since I stepped into the palace, I have made up my mind. Not only It’s for my own ambition, not just to get back what should belong to my father and me." Xiao Xuan's voice is extremely firm, "Now Da Zhou is in the midst of being surrounded by tigers and wolves, internal and external troubles, if Da Zhou is allowed to do so. Declining, sooner or later, it will become the belly Chinese food of other countries."
The queen mother turned her head to look at him. The young man's facial contours had faded away from immature, and his eyes were bright and energetic. On him, the queen mother seemed to have seen a young son who had passed away more than ten years. The youngest son of the year was also so energetic, always full of vigor and publicity.
The queen mother finally understood that she had been worried about her small grandson, and now she is also a good man upright.
After the queen had dealt with the palace affairs, the palace people came in and passed on to the concubine Xiangxian.
"Manny, do you want to see you?"
Now in the eventful autumn, the queen mother has already given oral instructions to save the concubines from the daily morning and twilight, so that they can stay simple and copy the scriptures. What will the concubine do at this time? The little palace lady was suspicious, but the queen knew it well.
"Everyone is here, how can she be reconciled without seeing you?" the queen said.
Concubine Xian came in with a smile on her face, and greeted the queen. Before she was seated, she said: "The concubine has gotten a couple of bird's nests, thinking that the bird's nest can nourish the lungs, and the majesty can't break the bird's nest every day. I'll bring it to you." Concubine Xian ordered the maid behind her to present the bird's nest.
The queen only glanced, but saw that the bird's nest was silky like a silver fish, white and lovely, and knew that it was not an ordinary bird's nest. The bird's nests used by the royal family are all from Lingnan. In the past two years, the weather in Lingnan is bad, and the number of tribute bird's nests is decreasing year by year. The eldest prince can't make the bird's nest short, the queen has been having a headache for a long time.
The emperor picked up a tea cup and drank a sip of tea, and said calmly: "This palace thanked you for your kindness on behalf of the eldest prince, but the eldest prince is the son of this palace, and there has never been a shortage of anything. These bird's nests must also be obtained It's not easy, let's keep your own body conditioning."
Hearing this obviously rejection, the concubine Xian's expression did not change. "The empress is still compassionate to the concubine, but the body of the princes is always the most important thing inside and outside the palace. The body of the eldest prince is always bad, concubine body. As an elder, it is really uncomfortable in my heart, and I also asked the empress to accept a little from her concubine." Although Concubine Xian's complexion is still as usual, her heart is still a little cramped.
The queen has been in charge of the Sixth House for many years, and has always been peaceful, seemingly warm and swallowing water, but in fact it is like a bunch of cotton that makes people unable to work hard. No one can find her weakness. The concubine Xian and the queen have known each other for many years, and they still can't break the queen's mind.
"Concubine..." The queen put down the tea cup and let out a long sigh.
Concubine Xian leaned slightly, waiting for the queen to continue speaking.
"Put away your
Think carefully, this palace knows what you are thinking, but this matter, this palace will not agree to it anyway. "
"Why?" Concubine Xian couldn't hide her disappointment, her voice suddenly raised.
"This is not something that this palace can decide. This palace never intervenes in political affairs, and you should not try to get into the water." The queen said slowly: "Our Zhao family never participates in party disputes. Who is the emperor, Zhao family? Loyal to whom." The queen was expressionless, her eyes were even more calm, but her words set off stormy seas in the heart of Concubine Xian.
"It's all about this time, the queen should also make a decision. The prince was imprisoned, the second prince died, and the third prince was dangling. The seventh and eighth princes were young, and they were more suitable to be the sixth princes. The emperor? You are the queen of the central palace. When the six princes are enthroned, you will definitely be respected and loved. When the time comes, you and the Zhao family will be glorious." The concubine Xian stood up suddenly, and no longer played the demure of Su Rili. With a gentle look, there was a little eagerness in his voice.
The queen didn't say a word, looked at her quietly for a long time, and finally broke into a smile. "Concubine Xian, if you are really confident that your son can become the emperor, you won't run over to win the palace. Go back, the palace won't promise to help you, nor will the Zhao family, you don't want to think about it. Let your son be another Xiao Yu, right?"
Become another Xiao Yu? Concubine Xian's temple jumped, and there have been many emperors who have forced confessions to usurp the throne in the past dynasties, but the biggest problem her son is facing now is that her son is still young. The Xiang family did not start from military merit, nor did they have real power in the court. It is not easy to talk about usurping the throne.
Concubine Xian wooed the queen, but the queen refused to give in. Concubine Xian and the queen stood in a stalemate for a while before returning.
"Niang, this year Lingnan's tribute is less than in previous years, but the fineness of the bird's nest is not as good as before. Since Concubine Xian has delivered it, you might as well stay. You don't have to agree to what she asks you for." Concubine Xian left. Later, the maid of the Changqiu Palace spoke.
"You don't go to work, what are you chewing on?" The mother interrupted the palace lady. "The best bird's nest that the middle palace can't get, the concubine Xian has it. What does this mean? It means that someone has surrendered to the concubine and the sixth princes. , These things were given to Concubine Xian by others. Do you think that the queen empress is just accepting bird's nest?"
The little palace lady lowered her head and agreed a few times, still feeling a little disapproving in her heart.
The queen waved her hand, causing the little palace lady to retreat.
"Although Concubine Xian has ulterior motives, she is right. No matter who becomes the throne, this palace is still the queen mother." The queen said softly, "Our Zhao family has never been after flowers and brocades. Wishful thinking is about to fail."
Cheng Qiangong.
"Your Majesty has been ill for a long time, and the six princes are worried about your majesty's body and come here to attend to the sick." Concubine Xian looked at the newly appointed Zhongchang Servant, whose expression in front of him was not touched at all. Naka Changjiro doesn't know how to promote it.
On the grounds that Fang Dexi was getting older, the Queen Mother gave Fang Dexi back to the hometown for retirement. The newly appointed Zhong Chang servant named Lu Fengchun was cold and cold, and only listened to the words of the Queen Mother. The concubine Xian had touched countless nails here. . But the concubine Xian couldn't threaten him, in case he turned around and told the queen mother that it was not her and the sixth prince who suffered.
"The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Office are here, and there are no lack of court servants around your Majesty. Don't worry about the concubine, it's not good to delay the six princes from studying."
At this time, what books are you still reading? No matter how well you read the book, if other princes become the throne in the future, can they still treat the sixth princes well? Concubine Xian thought.
"The concubine Xian, please return."
The concubine Xian had no choice but to take the six princes back. As soon as he turned around, he saw the Queen Mother and Xiao Xuan coming with a guard of honor.
Why did Wang Yu come here? Concubine Xian was a little puzzled, too late to think, and took the Sixth Prince to greet the Queen Mother.
