"It doesn't matter." The emperor said indifferently, "Xian'er is still young."
He wouldn't bother with a child, otherwise, he would have been mad at his own little fat man many times.
Besides—
The emperor's eyes fell on Huangfuxian's legs, his body was not good, and it was inevitable that he would get upset.
"Lian'er, take Xian'er out to get some sunshine first." Princess Ning'an said to Lian'er.
"Yes." Lian'er respectfully responded, and cautiously came behind Huangfuxian, pushed his wheelchair and walked out.
"Your Majesty." Princess Ning'an explained, "Xian'er has spoiled me, please take care of Your Majesty."
"Do you still call me Your Majesty?" The emperor stared at her and asked.
Princess Ning'an smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Huang."
Eunuch Qin came over and reported with a smile: "The Queen Mother, the dormitory of Princess Ning'an and the son has been tidy up."
"Queen Mother..." Princess Ning'an looked at Queen Mother Zhuang in astonishment.
Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "The Bixia Palace was always reserved for you before you left the pavilion. You and Xian'er should stay there temporarily."
"I..." Princess Ning'an's eyes moved, and she asked, "Can I still live in the palace?"
Princesses who have not left the cabinet live in the palace. In fact, ordinary princesses do not have their own dormitories. They mostly live with their mothers and concubines. Princess Ning'an is a special case. A Bixia Palace.
And she has been married far away for so many years, and Bixia Palace has never been used for other purposes.
The emperor hurriedly said: "Since it is the meaning of the mother, you can stay here."
The emperor also hoped that Princess Ning'an could live in the palace, so that it would be more convenient to take care of their mother and son.
The emperor had a lot of things to say to Ning An, and he guessed that his mother was too, but it was difficult for the three of them to say something when they got together.
"I will accompany you to Bixia Hall," the emperor said.
Princess Ning'an nodded and bowed to Empress Dowager Zhuang: "My son will come back later to greet the Empress Mother."
Empress Dowager Zhuang nodded and watched the emperor and Princess Ning'an leave the Renshou Palace.
Eunuch Qin came over with a cup of tea, and seeing Empress Dowager Zhuang's sad face, he could not help but sigh and persuade: "Princess is a hard life, if I had listened to your words, what would have happened? But fortunately, she came back safe and sound. Now, no one will blame the princess any more in the future."
Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes and turned her head, a tear rolled down her cheek.
The emperor and Princess Ning'an walked side by side to Bixia Hall.
Lian'er pushed Huangfu Xian to follow behind him not too far.
Princess Ning An looked back at Huangfu Xian, who had an indifferent face, and sighed helplessly.
The emperor noticed her gaze and asked softly, "What happened to Xian'er's leg? Was it injured in this battle?"
Princess Ning'an shook her head stubbornly and said, "It's a matter of childhood. When Xian'er was five years old, the frontier suffered a heavy snow that was hard to come by in ten years."
The emperor hummed thoughtfully: "I have an impression of this, and the court has also allocated disaster relief funds to the border gates, quiet..."
Concubine Jing personally made clothes for Princess Ning'an to keep out the cold, and entrusted the imperial envoy for disaster relief to the frontier fortress.
The emperor really doesn't want to mention this name now. He hates her extremely, but she is Ning An's biological mother, which is really embarrassing.
Princess Ning'an smiled lightly: "Yes, the mother-in-law also gave me clothes to keep out the cold."
"What does this have to do with Xian'er's legs?"
"At that time, my father and I both went to provide relief to the victims, and he slipped out of the Princess Mansion by himself. This child was naughty and could not stop for a moment. The guards couldn't even look at him, and they managed to let him escape. It was a day and a night when we found him, he fell down the hillside and lay in the freezing snow, his legs were frozen to death, and the doctor had to amputate his legs to save his life."
Princess Ning'an said this, trying her best to appear calm, but her breathing and clenched fingers still revealed her emotions.
The emperor's heart twitched, and he couldn't tell whether he felt more distressed for Huangfuxian, or more distressed for Princess Ning'an, whose son had suffered such an encounter.
He held Princess Ning'an's hand as he did when he was young: "I didn't know what happened to you and Xian'er... Why didn't you say it in the letter?"
Princess Ning'an whispered: "This kind of thing... It's hard to say."
Mentioning a heart is like a knife, being comforted once, and a knife is a knife, a person who really hurts to the extreme is not looking for comfort, but isolating himself from the outside world.
The emperor naturally understood in his heart, so he felt more distressed for Princess Ning An.
He secretly vowed that from now on, he would never let Princess Ning An leave his side, and he would never let her and Xian'er suffer any grievances.
"Xian'er he..." Princess Ning An hesitated.
The emperor is her brother. Even if she hadn't seen each other for so many years, he could still guess what she was most worried about.
He stopped, looked at her solemnly and said, "No matter who Xian'er's father is, he is your child and my nephew, and I will do my best to protect him."
Not many people objected to Princess Ning'an's return to Beijing, but not necessarily Huangfuxian. After all, he had the blood of the previous royal family flowing in his body. Those radical civil and military officials were afraid to talk about Huangfuxian's blood.
Princess Ning'an said ashamed, "I'm going to cause trouble to the emperor."
"No trouble." The emperor said.
If Huangfuxian is a healthy body, it may be a little troublesome, but what is the point of his broken body that makes people feel jealous
Those officials wanted to make fun of a child because they had nowhere to vent their anger. When they knew the truth, the controversy would be much smaller.
The emperor said: "Ning'an, I still want to talk to you about Concubine Jing."
Princess Ning An smiled lightly: "Brother Huang doesn't need to say more, Ning An understands that concubine she... is a meticulous work of the previous dynasty. From the moment she worked for the royal family of the previous dynasty, her final outcome was doomed."
"Can you blame her?" asked the emperor.
Princess Ning'an said, "It's pointless to say this now."
Emperor "She once sent Long Yingwei to the frontier to look for you, but she threatened to hold you hostage?"
Princess Ning'an shook her head: "They wanted to take me away. They came with a secret guard. The secret guard said that there was an accident in the capital, and the frontier fortress was afraid that it was not safe, so let me leave with them first. But they couldn't beat them. Huangfu Zheng's dead soldiers were all wounded in the end, and the dark guard died."
The emperor also didn't expect Du Zheng... No, Du is a fake surname, and his real name is Huangfu Zheng.
He didn't expect to have such a powerful master in his hands.
Fortunately, Princess Ning'an was all right, otherwise the emperor would have no time to regret it.
Princess Ning'an didn't know how many times she expressed her guilt today: "Sorry, Long Yingwei, who killed the emperor's brother, was seriously injured."
"They will recover." The emperor said, Long Yingwei has returned to the capital with the army, and is training in a special place.
It would be a lie to say that there is no pain in the flesh, but this matter has nothing to do with Ning An, everything is the idea of Concubine Jing.
Princess Ning'an continued to move forward: "I think the mother-in-law should have guessed that she won't be able to hide it for a long time. The methods of King Yi and Huangfu Zheng are outrageous. She was worried that the disclosure of the matter would put me in crisis, so she sent someone here. Save me. She took advantage of my whole life, and when she came, she suddenly woke up and wanted to do something for me."
Speaking of this, Princess Ning'an laughed at herself, "Why?"
The emperor looked complicated and did not speak.
The group quickly arrived at Bixia Hall.
People in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are used to worshiping the high and the low. Even though Princess Ning'an is just a widow who lost her husband, she has all the favor of the emperor and the empress dowager Zhuang, and the items purchased for her are all the most luxurious, exquisite and priceless. of.
If nothing else, the bed curtain alone was made of shark yarn, and even Empress Xiao and Princess Xinyang did not receive such treatment.
The palace servants who served her were also carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There was one eunuch in charge, one maid in charge, four grand palace maids, ten small palace maids, and ten small eunuchs.
This is not a specification that a princess can enjoy.
"Brother Huang." There was a trace of complexity in Princess Ning'an's eyes, and she sighed, "I can't use such expensive things, and I don't need so many people."
The emperor's face sank when he heard the words: "You are the sister I love the most, I said you can use it if you need it!"
"I..." Princess Ning An hesitated.
The emperor held her shoulders, fixedly looking at her weathered face, and said with distress and self-reproach: "I failed to protect you at the beginning and caused you to suffer for so many years, I will make up for it in the future. You, you don't have to worry about anything, just leave everything to me. No one dares to criticize you, if there is, I will chop his head off!"
Princess Ning'an wanted to say something, but before she refused to say anything, a chattering voice belonging to a child came from outside the Bixia Hall.
A look of confusion appeared on Princess Ning'an's face. The emperor smiled and said, "It's the voice of Xiao Qi and his little classmates."
Xiao Jingkong just entered the palace. He is a child, and he doesn't know who is in the palace. He came here purely to increase the rent. He asked his brother-in-law for a rent increase that day, and the brother-in-law said that his Unreasonable request.
So he wanted to ask his aunt how to increase the rent reasonably.
It's a pity that my aunt seems to be in a low mood. He is a kind and considerate child, so he decided to temporarily put aside the rent increase, and tried to sell cute things for a long time, only to be thrown out by his aunt with a blank face.
It's noisy…
Then he went to Qin Chuyu.
Qin Chuyu recently raised a puppy, and the two chased the puppy around.
The puppy probably smelled the emperor's scent, and ran to Bixia Hall.
When Qin Chuyu and Xiao Jingkong chased outside Bixia Hall, they happened to see Huangfu Xian basking in the sun at the door.
They had never seen a wheelchair and were quite curious.
Xiao Jingkong walked over, looked at Huangfuxian's wheelchair and said, "Wow! What kind of chair is this? There are wheels!"
Compared with this strange chair, Qin Chuyu's focus was more on this person. He asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you?"
The palace is Qin Chuyu's home, and he may not recognize the palace maid and eunuch, but he shouldn't be ignorant of this kind of person who seems to have some background.
Huangfuxian sneered and looked at a small bean and a bean in front of him: "Who are you?"
Qin Chuyu introduced solemnly: "I am Qin Chuyu, and he is my classmate Qingkong."
Huangfuxian looked at Qin Chuyu up and down, looked at Xiaojingkong with a sneer, and said sarcastically, "You are so old, and you still go to school with such a young child. Is your prince of Zhao Kingdom so stupid?"
Qin Chuyu's hair froze: "Who are you calling stupid! I, I, I am not stupid! I read the prodigy class of Guozijian!"
Huangfuxian snorted: "Is it stuffed in?"
"you!"
Qin Chuyu blushed from choking.
Xiao Qingkong was completely attracted by the big wheel of the wheelchair. He didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two. He squatted down and tilted his head to seriously observe the big wheel in front of him.
Qin Chuyu stomped his feet on his hips, this is a habitual action of Xiaojingkong.
He said angrily: "How dare you talk to me like this! Do you know who I am! I am the seventh prince of Zhao Kingdom! If you are so rude, I will let someone beat you!"
When Huangfuxian heard this, not only was he not frightened, but he reached out his hand coldly and pushed Qin Chuyu to the ground!
Unfortunately, Xiao Jingkong was squatting on the ground looking at the wheels, when Qin Chuyu fell, he also knocked him down.
"Oops!" Xiao Jingkong exclaimed in pain.
His little feet were pressed by Qin Chuyu's butt!
When the emperor and Princess Ning'an came over, they saw the two children falling to the ground.
Eunuch Wei also followed, and he stepped forward quickly, pulling up Qin Chuyu who was on the top, and then dragging the small clear space below.
"Are you all right? Did you fall somewhere?" he asked worriedly.
Little Clearance's right foot hurts a bit.
Qin Chuyu has a lot of flesh, he didn't fall in pain, but he was very angry!
He turned around and was about to pounce on Huangfuxian.
"Stop!" the emperor shouted.
Eunuch Wei hurriedly hugged Qin Chuyu.
Qin Chuyu complained decisively, pointing to Huangfu Xian: "Father! He pushed me!"
The emperor looked at Huangfuxian in the wheelchair.
Huangfuxian slowly leaned back on the back of the wheelchair and raised his eyebrows: "I didn't push you, you fell yourself."
Qin Chuyu's eyes widened: "You are talking nonsense! I won't fall down by myself! It's you who pushed me! Clearance, did you see it?"
"Ah?" Xiao Jingkong, who was suddenly named, was confused.
He just focused on studying the big wheel and saw nothing.
At this moment, Lian'er came back panting with a bunch of flowers, she didn't know what happened, she handed over the peony flower in her hand: "Young Master... give... the... flower you want... "
This is the flower that Princess Xinyang planted in the conservatory of the imperial garden, and a flower is worth a hundred gold.
Lian'er picked up five flowers with one hand.
Huangfu Xian took it over and said disgustingly, "There are only so few, didn't I let you pick them all?"
Lian'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "...It, the others... haven't grown well... These five are the best looking."
"I don't like it." Huangfuxian said, and without thinking, he threw the five peony flowers that Princess Xinyang worked so hard to cultivate.
The emperor could already imagine Princess Xinyang's expression when she found out that her flowers were gone.
"Xian'er." Princess Ning'an's face sank.
The emperor's throat was a little dry, he took a weak breath, coughed lightly, and said calmly: "It's okay, just a few flowers, Xianer likes peonies, I will ask the flower room to pick up a few more pots and send them to Bixia. Come to the palace."
As he spoke, he turned to Qin Chuyu and said solemnly, "Come over to meet your aunt and cousin soon?"
Qin Chuyu asked, "Who is my aunt? Who is my cousin?"
Princess Ning'an walked towards him, raised her hand and touched his head: "I am your aunt Ning'an, and he is your virtuous cousin."
She said, pointing to Huangfuxian behind her.
Qin Chuyu took her hand away: "He's not my cousin!"
The emperor's eyes sank: "Presumptuous!"
Qin Chuyu angrily pointed at Huangfu Xiandao: "He pushed me!"
Huangfu Xian said lightly, "I didn't push you."
Qin Chuyu was so angry that he went mad: "If you push, you push and you push!"
Princess Ning'an looked at Huangfuxian and asked solemnly, "Did you push His Highness the seventh?"
Huangfuxian met Princess Ning'an's gaze with a magnanimous and reckless face: "No, yes."
"You have!" Qin Chuyu was about to explode!
"Enough!" The emperor shouted to stop Qin Chuyu, and said to Eunuch Wei fairly, "Send His Highness the Seventh Highness back to Kunning Palace, and also, send Qingkong back to Renshou Palace."
Eunuch Wei bravely responded: "...Yes. Let's go, Seventh Highness, clear space."
The two were gently embraced by Eunuch Wei and walked forward.
The moment he turned around, Qin Chuyu raised his hand and wiped away the tears of grievance from the corner of his eyes: "...I didn't lie, he just pushed me, why doesn't the royal father believe me?"
Xiao Jingkong took Qin Chuyu's chubby hand soothingly and looked back at the boy in the wheelchair.
At this time, the young man also looked right here.
Xiao Jingkong saw the young man show him a malicious and provocative smile.
Leave far away.
The young man sneered and said silently.
