After staying in Shoukang Palace for half a day, the three of Yan Chi left Shoukang Palace and headed out of the palace together.
Yan Li looked at Yan Chi and Qin Wan with a smile, "Qin Wan, when I saw you for the first time in Yuzhou, I felt that there was something wrong between you and my seventh brother, but I didn't expect that less than a year had passed. , you are about to get married, time flies so fast, today my seventh brother went to ask for a lot of treasures from the imperial grandmother, this is the first time I saw the seventh brother and the imperial grandmother open their mouths... "
Qin Wan blushed slightly, and said with a smile, "So when will Prince Gong accept the concubine?"
Yan Li clicked his tongue twice, "You are the gods and couples who envy others, I don't know if I have this chance."
Yan Chi said, "Why not? Take it easy, do the yamen's affairs well first, you also have your destiny."
Yan Li teased, "People who want to get married are different. They are more and more able to teach others! Seventh brother will be taken care of in the future, but I can still be happy for a few years, so I should be happy..."
Yan Chi shook his head helplessly, and Qin Wan also smiled wryly.
The three of them walked along the imperial road not long before they diverged. Yan Li bid farewell to Prince Yi's mansion wisely, while Qin Wan and Yan Chi continued to walk forward. Seeing that they were about to turn around, Yan Li turned to look. However, Qin Wan's carriage followed Yan Chi, obviously going to Prince Rui's residence together.
The smile on the corner of Yan Li's lips froze for a moment, watching the two drift away deeply before turning the horse's head and galloping back home.
Qin Wan and Yan Chi did go straight to Prince Rui's mansion, Yan Chi took the emperor's painting today, Qin Wan couldn't wait to go back and see what was different.
After returning to Prince Rui's mansion, the two went straight to the waterside pavilion. Yan Chi took out the two paintings made by the emperor and spread them out, sweeping them with his eyes like torches.
These are two completely different paintings. The papers are still brand new. However, they are stored in the Xuanji Pavilion. The paintings are well preserved and will not look old. Qin Wan saw the signature on the first painting , frowned, "This was ten years ago."
Yan Chi opened the second picture and looked at it in detail, "This is from three years ago."
Three years ago was the time when the emperor favored Concubine Jin. This painting of climbing the heights on autumn evening is suitable for two people who are in love with each other to paint together. Looking closely at the techniques on the painting, it seems that there are really two people painting However, looking at it this way, Qin Wan and Yan Chi did not find anything unusual. A painting is just the painting itself plus inscriptions and seals. All the seals on this painting are The name taboo of the emperor, the time is also very clear, and the inscriptions can also be seen to be from the hands of the emperor. There are two simple paintings like this, and there are many years between them. But as long as it is made by the same person, there should be little difference.
"Seven years have passed between these two paintings. The emperor's calligraphy has become more vigorous and powerful, and his painting skills have become more sophisticated. Especially this painting of climbing a height is extraordinarily wide and delicate. The scene of the setting sun feels like a long river and the setting sun. Your majesty Over the years, my mood has become more and more broad.”
"After all, he is a person who has been in a high position for a long time. It is naturally better to have Concubine Jin by her side to add fragrance to her sleeves."
For men, wealth, power, and women are the three things that fascinate people the most. Yan Huai is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, wealth, power, and territory are all under his control, and there are three palaces and six courtyards in the harem There are countless beauties, especially Concubine Jin who was favored after entering the palace, which shows that the emperor loves her very much. Yanhuai has everything, and her state of mind is naturally more detached than ordinary people, but no matter how detached, she sat on that seat , and there are also shackles that can never be shaken off. He is aloof in his previous life, and he has to plan and weigh his life.
"Look at these two paintings. Although this "Butterfly Loves Flowers" is freehand, but the brushwork is a little jerky and impatient, and the handling of these branches and leaves is also very rough and straight. It can be seen that the emperor was not calm when he was painting, and he was not at ease. Or at that time, he didn't have the later mood."
Ten years ago, both Yan Chi and Qin Wan were still children. At that time, there was a big robbery of the emperor's sister in the middle of the court, and there was an emergency on the northwest border. Is it because of these that the emperor was uneasy
Yan Chi and Qin Wan didn't know these questions, and it was impossible for them to ask the emperor, they could only ponder them by themselves.
"Concubine Jin is better at painting and calligraphy than us. Maybe she can see things that we can't see. What's more, she must have seen more calligraphy and painting than us." Qin Wan frowned slightly, and said suddenly, "Gong Is there a painter in China?"
Yan Chi nodded, "Of course there are. There are many craftsmen of various kinds in the palace. The painters are all in the Ruyi Pavilion, helping the palace masters to paint, and also repairing and preserving ancient paintings. What do you think of the Ruyi Pavilion?" What do people know?"
Qin Wan shook his head, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "By the way, I remember that Ning Buyi also entered the palace to paint, right?"
Yan Chi's eyes darkened suddenly, and he nodded, "Yes, I checked, he has drawn pictures of all the palace masters including the empress, and he also drew pictures of group banquets in the palace twice during the Empress Dowager's birthday. Thinking of him? Do you think this has something to do with him?"
Naturally, Concubine Jin's death could not be related to a small painter in the capital, but Qin Wan couldn't help but think of Ning Buyi.
Shaking his head, Qin Wan said, "No, it's just that they are all painters. I just thought of it all at once. We haven't figured out who is behind Ning Buyi's case until now. I have always remembered it, but Jinfei The murder should have nothing to do with Ning Buyi."
Having said that, Qin Wan still felt that there might be a very thin thread involved between these two seemingly irrelevant cases, but Qin Wan couldn't figure out what this thread was right now.
Thinking this way, Qin Wan suddenly asked, "Why did you choose these two paintings?"
Speaking of this, Yan Chi smiled, "Yan Li chose it, he thinks these two paintings are very good."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips are also slightly curved, and it's true when it comes to meaning. Needless to say, the painting of Die Lian Hua is even more meaningful. Qin Wan's heart warms up, "Who should Yan Li look for in the future? He This kind of temper looks unrestrained on the surface, but I always feel that he understands everything in his heart."
He understands that he himself is a body of guilt, understands the harshness of the world against him, and understands that the affairs of his father will have a long-term impact.
Yan Chi took Qin Wan into his arms, "Wait a minute, he knows it well."
Qin Wan nodded and was a little worried. Whether the death of Concubine Jin had something to do with the emperor's paintings is really uncertain, but now, they can't go to Xuanji Pavilion to take out all the emperor's paintings in a blatant manner. Grinding, that's too much noise.
Yan Chi seemed to know what Qin Wan was thinking, and said, "I will continue to investigate the matter of Xuanji Pavilion, don't worry."
Qin Wan nodded, "I wanted to set up a tomb for my parents earlier, but now that things are getting more and more complicated, I want to postpone it for a while."
"You are in charge of this matter." Yan Chi comforted, "Sun Muqing, do you want to explain?"
Qin Wan nodded, "I will send someone to tell, Senior Brother Sun..."
Qin Wan sighed, thinking of Sun Muqing, he always felt very guilty, and if Li Muyun started to notice Sun Muqing, he didn't know if Sun Muqing would be involved in these things, but what did Sun Muqing know
Yan Chi squeezed Qin Wan's palm, "I will send someone to watch."
Qin Wan originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about the complicated situation now, he gave up the idea of refusing.
Immediately, she felt relieved, fortunately, Yan Chi still knew the heaviness in her heart.
…
…
The wedding of the fifth princess is imminent, and the entire inner palace is busy. Officials from the Ministry of Rituals frequently enter and leave the inner palace, and the guard of honor on the day of the princess's wedding has also begun to prepare. The musicians in the palace began to rehearse the music for that day. In the palace, occasionally the faint sound of silk and bamboo can be heard.
In Kunning Palace, the queen stood in front of the west window, looking towards the northwest of the entire inner palace.
Yun Yan stood behind the queen, and said in a low voice, "Have you made up your mind, Empress?"
The queen smiled, "Is there anything else we have to think about, besides this road, where else can we go?"
Yun Yan lowered her eyes for a moment, "But in this way, there is no turning back."
The queen took a deep breath, her back straightened even more, "I don't need to turn back."
Yunyan stopped talking after hearing the words, but the queen suddenly turned her ears to the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance, "Listen, this is the musicians in the palace playing ritual music... What day is today? Since Zhen'er is getting married How many more days?"
Yun Yan hurriedly said, "It's fourteen today, and the princess will be married in six days."
The queen let out a long sigh, "It's a pity."
Yun Yan reassured, "The Empress has a good intention, Her Royal Highness will definitely know about it, it's not a pity."
The queen shook her head, "It's a pity, I originally wanted to keep Zhen'er by my side forever."
The music in the distance gradually became louder, and the queen's expression became more focused. Listening to these ceremonies and music, she could almost imagine the scene when Yan Zhen got married, but it was a pity that she couldn't even send Yan Zhen to get married in person. Just as she was fascinated by the sound, the unexpected music disappeared. A look of desolation flashed across the Queen's face, and she sighed in an inaudible manner. Yun Yan stood aside and watched in displeasure, "My lady, the princess is getting married. You still have to go to marry me, otherwise..."
The queen frowned slightly, "Don't tell me you want me to bow down to the emperor?"
Yun Yan hesitated to speak, "No... Of course not... It's just this once, Your Royal Highness, you... Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also grounded. I don't know what rumors will come from the court, although you have already made up your mind. Idea, but there is still so much time.”
The queen shook her head and smiled, "I just want Zhen'er to live a safe and happy life, so what's the point of seeing or not seeing each other for the last time?"
The queen withdrew her gaze, and walked towards the inner room with a calm face. When she walked to the dressing table, she opened the drawer of the dressing table. Inside was a letter she was about to send. There was no order to send it away, but today, she had to make this decision.
"Send this letter tonight and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Yun Yan's expression turned serious when she heard this, and she nodded quickly.
…
…
It is true that the situation in the court these days is not good.
Both the empress and the crown prince were grounded, no matter what else, at least the emperor had run out of patience with them, and after Zhang Qide, more than ten people from the crown prince's line were imprisoned. If the emperor wants to help, the prince's power will not be cleaned up so quickly.
Most people only noticed the irresolvable enmity between King Cheng and the prince, but there were still a few people who saw the emperor's mind. Among them, the rare ones included Feng Lingsu, in the Changxin Palace, Feng Lingsu had a happy face Yingmian, "Qi'er, what do you think is the possibility of your father deposing the crown prince?"
Yanqi's brows were full of rebelliousness, upon hearing this, he smiled slightly, "It's still a bit difficult for now, but..."
His words were meaningful, but he didn't finish. Feng Lingsu looked at Yan Qi, and said angrily, "You even hide it from your mother and concubine?"
Yan Qi waved his hand, "That's not what it means, it's all arranged by the court, I won't say more if the concubine mother doesn't understand."
Feng Lingsu sighed, she really doesn't understand government affairs, but she still knows a lot about the gossip in the court, Yushitai sends up impeachment papers for the prince every day, and all the officials who see the prince are one by one After falling off the horse, they all chose neutrality very cautiously. This was completely different from the way everyone was headed by the prince before. Feng Lingsu was aware of these changes, and she even vaguely felt that Yan Qi's good deeds were approaching.
"Qi'er, you have always had ideas, and the concubine also believes in you. It's just that this time is an excellent opportunity. You must seize it. By the way, how did the investigation of the corpse in the Jin Palace go before? The empress also gave up the Kunning Palace."
Yan Qi didn't know what Feng Lingsu was thinking, but he shook his head, "This case can't be investigated anymore, two people died in the inner palace, and all clues have been cut off."
Feng Lingsu snorted coldly, "It must be the queen's hand, the queen is the most vicious, and the death of a few eunuchs is nothing to her." Feng Lingsu rolled his eyes, " Although there is no evidence, the people in Yushitai are not vegetarians, Qier, do you understand?"
Yan Qi smiled, "Mother and concubine, don't worry, I have explained everything, the queen and the prince are now grounded, they are too passive, the impeachment of Yushitai will not stop these days, but I don't want to be too aggressive so as not to provoke Emperor father is upset, after Yan Zhen gets married, I will settle the matter with the crown prince and the others."
Feng Lingsu covered her lips and smiled happily, Yan Qi was becoming more and more like a general, she naturally felt very pleased, "That's right, Yan Zhen is not married yet, your father really loves Yan Zhen, don't you I know, just for Yan Zhen's dowry, your father gave a full hundred boxes and cages, and the inner mansion will be half-empty. No matter how much gold and silver treasures a princess brings, she will never return. I know if your father will let the queen out by then."
Yan Qi frowned upon hearing this, "I'm afraid it's... no."
Feng Lingsu sneered, "That would be the best..."
If the queen doesn't show up at that time, all the officials will know more in their hearts, and when the time comes, she and Yan Huai will stand together at the Zhenghua Gate to watch Yan Zhen get married. No other woman has a higher status than her. Thinking about it makes people happy.
Feng Lingsu thought very well, and said pretendingly, "After all, she is also your sister. Prepare more congratulatory gifts and send them to Jingning Palace. At least it is our attitude."
Yan Qi nodded, "I know, don't worry."
While talking, Feng Lingsu said again, "How is your palace these few days?"
Yan Qi casually said, "It's still the same..."
Feng Lingsu sighed, "What do you mean? It's still like that. Serve some snacks, and the little grandson will be left earlier. Not only will your father be happy, but the queen mother will also be happy. The queen mother is not in good health now. She will be happy if there is a little grandson." You are more satisfied…”
Yan Qi frowned, as if she didn't understand what it meant, Feng Lingsu said again, "I know you dote on that girl from the Qin family now, but let me say first, your eldest son must be Shen Bi. came out, do you understand?"
Yan Qi was a little irritable, but he twitched the corners of his lips, "Don't worry, Concubine Mu, I know."
Feng Lingsu didn't say much, and instead talked to Yan Qi about something else.
…
…
The prince didn't know what was going on in the court, but Qin Shu was watching every day. Seeing that fewer and fewer people from the prince's line could be saved, he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly. More or less, they were all implicated, not only that, Yushitai somehow found a lot of ironclad evidence, the ironclad evidence was so mountainous that Qin Shu didn't dare to open his mouth if he wanted to help.
In the Marquis Mansion, Qin Shu spent more and more time in the study. Qin Yan also went to the study to accompany Qin Shu when he returned to the mansion. Even Qin Ye had a sad face every day. She still sees the situation very clearly, but the current court situation is already complicated and complicated. When it comes to last year's King Jin case, Qin Wan is also in deep trouble, so why would she want to help Qin Shu solve his doubts? Early this morning, It was Mrs. Hu who came to Songfuyuan.
"Guan'er, are you going to enter the palace today?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Those who want to enter the palace should visit the Empress Dowager."
Hu's face showed bitterness, "You haven't seen your eighth sister in the past few days, have you?"
Of course, Qin Wan has never met Qin Chaoyu. Qin Chaoyu and the crown prince were banned from the East Palace together, and the little palace maid did not send any word. Now Qin Wan only wants to see the queen... but how could the queen be seen...
"I haven't seen it before. Does Auntie have something for me to bring to Eighth Sister?"
After asking this question, Hu's eyes turned red immediately, "Guan'er, the current situation in the court is not good for His Highness the Crown Prince, you should know... Hey, I don't know what happened to your eighth sister, no one can enter the East Palace now Go, we can only rely on you, this time you enter the palace and meet His Highness the Crown Prince, see what His Highness has ordered, come back and tell us, so we can do something... "
Qin Wan sighed, "Okay, then I'll go to the East Palace again."
Satisfied, Mrs. Hu took out a letter and handed it to Qin Wan, "You can leave this to your Eighth Sister."
Qin Wan nodded and entered the palace with Hu's letter.
As usual, Qin Wan went to the Shoukang Palace first. When he met the Queen Mother, Qin Wan didn't hold back. Taking advantage of no one in the room, he asked, "The Empress Dowager, how long will the Crown Prince be confined?"
The queen mother was also a little worried when she heard this, "The emperor hasn't come here for several days, and I can't tell for sure. What's the matter, your uncle asked you to ask?"
Qin Wan smiled wryly and acquiesced, and said, "Maybe I will go to the East Palace today?"
The queen mother sighed, "It's really hard for you... go, and help me comfort your eighth sister."
The queen mother always protects the prince in her heart. Hearing what the queen mother said, Qin Wan's heart is at ease. With the queen mother protecting the prince, the emperor is always afraid. The emperor will not drive the prince into a place of eternal doom.
Soon, Qin Wan took the servants of Shoukang Palace to the East Palace.
Arriving at the East Palace, Qin Wan only felt that the East Palace was colder and quieter than the previous few days. The servants went to report, and Qin Chaoyu came out after a while. Qin Wan and Qin Chaoyu entered the room first, and then handed the letter to Qin Chaoyu, Qin Wan He said, "Read the letter first... The aunt also wants me to meet His Highness the Crown Prince to see if His Highness the Crown Prince has any orders. The court situation is very unfavorable to the Crown Prince, and the uncle and the eldest aunt are also very anxious."
Qin Chaoyu read the letter at a glance. The letter probably also said how the court situation was going. Qin Chaoyu's complexion became paler and paler.
After reading the letter, Qin Chaoyu smiled wryly, "I'm afraid you won't see His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince has locked himself in the side hall these days, and no one will be seen."
Qin Wan frowned in surprise, "No one saw?"
The loneliness in Qin Chaoyu's eyes appeared again, "Yes, including me."
Qin Wan hesitated a little, "But what my aunt told me..."
"Go back and tell your father and mother to tell them not to do anything. The empress has her own arrangements and there is no need for them to do anything."
Qin Wan looked at Qin Chaoyu, and said suddenly, "Did the Empress send a message in the past few days?"
Qin Chaoyu shook his head, remembering the empress' explanation before, she hesitated, "Have you gone to see Aunt Qian? What's the matter?"
Of course Qin Wan would not tell Qin Chaoyu, this is not a good thing, "Don't worry about matters that have nothing to do with His Royal Highness."
Having said that, Qin Wan felt something was wrong again. Judging from Aunt Qian's words, there was indeed some inextricable knot between the emperor and the empress, and the relationship was also very strange. Could this be the reason why the emperor treats the prince coldly now? Thinking of this, Qin Wan said again, "In short, there is King Cheng guiding the wind in the court, so you have to make plans early."
Qin Chaoyu nodded, looking thoughtful.
Since he couldn't see the prince, Qin Wan didn't stay any longer, and soon left the East Palace.
After leaving the East Palace, he didn't go far but ran into Yan Zhen who was heading towards the East Palace. Qin Wan and Yan Zhen were not familiar with each other, but they had met several times. Qin Wan immediately saluted and Yan Zhen looked up and down. After staring at Qin Wan for a moment, "Are you here to see the emperor's wife?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, Your Highness the Princess is coming to visit His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Yan Zhen said "Mm", with a somewhat desolate expression on her face, "I can't see the queen mother, so I can only come to see the elder brother of the prince."
Qin Wan stepped aside, "Princess, please..."
Yan Zhen walked forward, walked a few steps and looked back, the queen asked Yan Zhen to send a message to Qin Chaoyu, and Qin Chaoyu told Qin Wan those orders, so Yan Zhen also knew about going to see Aunt Qian , Yan Zhen looked at Qin Wan and said, "Do you need my help?"
Qin Wan lowered his eyes, but when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen smiled and said, "You have trouble walking in the palace, what can I do for you?"
Qin Wan pursed her lips, "The princess said..."
Yan Zhen turned around and looked at Qin Wan, "I brought the queen mother's order that day. You must have listened to the emperor's sister-in-law and followed it, right? I don't know why the queen mother gave you that order, but the queen mother should appreciate you very much." , otherwise I wouldn’t have said such secret things to you, and I don’t know what it is, but I want to help the queen mother and brother prince, so I asked if you need my help.”
Yan Zhen is very calm and serious. She is a simple-minded person, so when she looked at Qin Wan like this, Qin Wan couldn't help being moved, but she hesitated for a while and shook her head, "It's nothing, the princess is fine." I'm going to get married, so take advantage of these few days to spend time with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, Fu turned around and left.
She was really about to speak. Yan Zhen is a princess, and her status is more convenient than Yan Chi, but she still couldn't bear it when she saw her eyes just now. If what Qin Chaoyu said was true, the queen did it on purpose If she wanted to send Yan Zhen away, why would she involve Yan Zhen at this juncture
Qin Wan looked blankly at the entire inner palace as he walked. No one dared to speak lightly of Concubine Jin in this harem. Back then, Concubine Jin was terrified. I'm afraid only Yan Sui knew what Concubine Jin was afraid of.
When Qin Wan returned to Shoukang Palace, he found that Yan Li was there, and was still playing chess with the empress dowager. Seeing Qin Wan coming back, the empress dowager waved, "Come here, you two are equally good at chess. I don’t like to play with him, I have to let him.”
Qin Wan looked at Yan Li with a broken smile, and Yan Li blinked, "Have you gone to the East Palace?"
Qin Wan nodded, and Yan Li said, "How about the prince and princess?"
Qin Wan sat next to the queen mother to help her settle the house. Seeing that the queen mother was also looking at him, she said, "It's not bad, but the East Palace is a bit deserted."
The queen mother sighed, "I don't know when these things will be investigated."
The Queen Mother looked at Yan Li, "You should know about the officials, right? What is the emperor's plan?"
Yan Li said nonchalantly, "I don't know about that either, it's probably just to thoroughly investigate the corruption on the Northwest Road."
The Queen Mother shook her head with a worried expression on her face, and Yan Li comforted her, "Don't worry, the Crown Prince is not involved. Now that the Emperor has grounded the Crown Prince, maybe he didn't want him to protect the people below. You know that, if The prince is very good, those people below will ask to come to him no matter what."
The queen mother sighed, "I hope so... Zhen'er is going to get married, and I don't know what the emperor is planning."
Yan Li and Qin Wan looked at each other, neither of them knew what to say about this matter...
Played chess with the queen mother for a while, but did not see Yan Ze and Yue Ning entering the palace. In the afternoon, Qin Wan left the palace. Frowning, Qin Wan had no choice but to persuade, "At least the queen mother will protect the prince, so don't worry too much, uncle."
Qin Shu had aged a lot in just over ten days, and he only waved his hands when he heard the words, "You don't understand what happened in the court, this time... hey, forget it, we can only wait."
Qin Wan didn't ask any more questions, and only went to Shen's house early in the morning of the second day.
Sun Muqing was waiting for news from Qin Wan these few days. When she saw Qin Wan coming, she thought she was telling him to set up a tomb. Who knew Qin Wan asked soon after sitting down, "Is there any suspicious person near your house these few days?" ?”
Sun Muqing looked confused, "No, what's the matter?"
Qin Wan sighed, "This house is... so I'm worried that you will be harassed."
Sun Muqing laughed immediately, "No, no, you can rest assured, in fact, after a year, many people don't care, this house belongs to the government, someone will always buy it..."
Qin Wan didn't explain it to Sun Muqing, but felt relieved in his heart, "I'm looking forward to the place, and I can go there earlier, but I have a lot of things these days, so it may take a few days, so I'm here to talk to you."
Sun Muqing nodded quickly, "This matter is to trouble the princess, so the princess is naturally concerned about her own affairs."
Sun Muqing made tea for Qin Wan himself. Now that the tea soup was boiling, he poured the tea and brought it to Qin Wan. He was very close to Qin Wan. Qin Wan took a breath and smelled the sandalwood fragrance on his body, "You just came from this morning. Prince Yi's mansion is back?"
Sun Muqing nodded, "Yes, Prince Yi has been feeling uncomfortable in his legs for the past few days, and I have been recuperating for him."
Speaking of this incident, Qin Wan's heart moved slightly, "What happened to Prince Yi's leg injury?"
"It's an old injury from more than 20 years ago. It seems that the prince fell off his horse. The soft tendon in his knee was injured. It was swollen and painful at that time. I know, there is no way to be good on my own, and the prince did not take it seriously when he was young, and now he is suffering from illness when he is old."
Qin Wan naturally knew this truth, but that day Yan Ze said that it was the current emperor and Prince Yi who were injured at that time. Prince Yi's knees have been bad for so many years, why didn't the emperor have such a problem? It doesn't make sense to be fine...
"I know that, but have you ever seen a knee injury and then healed?"
Sun Muqing smiled, "This is not going to heal. My master once affirmed that most of the skin and flesh on the human body can heal by itself, but the soft tendons like the knee joint are hard to heal by themselves. This place is not easy to be seriously injured. But once hurt, it becomes a dull pain."
Hearing this, Qin Wan frowned even tighter, and Sun Muqing said, "What's the matter, Princess?"
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "If there is a person who suffered a similar injury to Prince Yi's but did not have any problems with his knee, why is that?"
Sun Muqing smiled, "It's impossible, unless...unless this person has a different leg..."
Qin Wan also laughed when he heard this, and changed his leg, which is even more impossible.
Qin Wan couldn't figure this out for a while, but left a knot in his heart.
…
…
Time passed by, Qin Wan entered the palace for several days, but did not find a chance to ask about the emperor's injury. It is nothing for those who have experienced these old things to mention by accident, but it seems a bit abnormal for her to ask Well, on October 19th, Yan Ze and Yue Ning entered the palace again, but this time, everyone went to Jingning Palace. Yan Zhen was about to get married, and these younger generations were going Add makeup to her.
In the Jingning Palace, both inside and outside are newly decorated. In the early morning of tomorrow, Yan Zhen will set off from Jingning Palace under the escort of the ceremonial officials, go to the Chongzheng Hall to bid farewell to the emperor, and then go to the Ancestral Temple to bid farewell to the ancestors. The wedding car left the palace and went outside the palace. Changed to a carriage and drove slowly. It took a month to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In this world, the Northern Wei Dynasty has already started to snow. The Northern Wei Dynasty sent envoys to pick up the bride. The people who pick up the bride go to the capital first, and follow Yan Zhen to the Northern Wei Dynasty. The groom Tuo Bahong will meet Yan Zhen at the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty. For him, this is already the highest courtesy.
Yan Zhen has gone thousands of miles away, and she probably won't come back in the future. Thinking of this, no matter it is Yue Ning or Yan Ze, the gifts they give are very important.
Qin Wan came here with the queen mother. Yan Zhen's room was bright red. Yan Zhen had just finished trying on tomorrow's hair accessories. When she saw the queen mother coming, Yan Zhen's eyes turned red, and she cried while hugging the queen mother, "The queen Grandmother, Zhen'er doesn't want to marry into the Northern Wei Dynasty..."
Although Yan Zhen was crying, her tone of resentment was gone. The Empress Dowager hugged Yan Zhen and felt distressed. The group had not been in Jingning Palace for a long time, and other people gave gifts one after another. They heard that Prince Cheng's mansion also gave gifts. Li, Yan Zhen's expression suddenly changed!
"I don't! Throw it out—"
The queen mother sighed, "Zhen'er, King Cheng is also your elder brother."
Yan Zhen suddenly cried more intensely, "He is not, he wants to harm the prince's brother and the emperor's grandmother, you don't have to lie to me, I know it all."
The queen mother shook her head helplessly, "No one will harm your brother prince, don't worry."
Yan Zhen looked at the Empress Dowager with red eyes, "Grandmother, you have to promise Zhen'er that after Zhen'er leaves, you must protect the prince brother and my mother..."
The Empress Dowager originally defended the orthodoxy, so she nodded immediately, "Just rest assured, don't you know how much I value your prince brother?"
Yan Zhen hugged the queen mother coquettishly, and Qin Wan watched from the sidelines, feeling that Yan Zhen was trying to please her today, as if she wanted the queen mother to make this promise. Maybe the queen mother saw it, maybe she didn't. But she is willing to give this guarantee to make Yan Zhen feel at ease.
The gifts from Prince Cheng's Mansion were kept after all, and the dowries in Jingning Palace were filled to the brim. These boxes and cages will be loaded into a carriage tonight, and the carriage will stop after Zhenghua Gate tomorrow morning, followed by Yan Zhen's wedding ceremony went out of the city together, Yan Zhen talked with the queen mother for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Grandmother, will the queen mother and the prince's elder brother send Zhen'er off tomorrow?"
Yan Zhen looked at the queen mother eagerly, how could the queen mother not be soft-hearted, this is her only granddaughter, she is a perfect apple of the eye.
Not to mention Yan Huai, the Queen Mother also held it in her hands for fear of falling and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting.
"Don't worry, I will tell your father."
Yan Zhen sobbed and nodded, the eyes of everyone in the room were red.
After staying in Jingning Palace for an afternoon, the Queen Mother really went straight to Chongzheng Hall after leaving Jingning Palace. General Huai welcomed the Empress Dowager in, and quickly drove out the ministers who were discussing matters. I don't know what the mother and son said in the Chongzheng Hall. That night, Yuan Qing went to Kunning Palace and East Palace with orders. On the second day, the empress and the crown prince dressed in ceremonial clothes and went to Chongzheng Hall to receive Yan Zhen's farewell, and then went to Zhenghua Gate to send their marriage.
In Changxin Palace, Feng Lingsu gritted his teeth with hatred, and said with a sneer, "The emperor only said to let them go to marry, but he didn't say to lift their confinement. It's been a long time since I woke up, and I don't know if the empress has lost weight these days."
The palace people didn't dare to say anything after hearing this, Feng Lingsu turned around and told Baodie, "Go and find me that set of Danfeng Chaoyang court clothes..."
Baodie knew that her master was going to be the crowning star at tomorrow's ceremony, so she didn't dare to be careless. Not only did she find Danfeng Chaoyang's dress, but she also accompanied her with the same bright and expensive headgear. In the early morning of the second day, Feng Lingsu even got up early and put on a lot of make-up. Although she is not the queen, the queen is already at the end of her life. Today, she will let everyone see who in the harem should listen to in the future.
Feng Lingsu put a lot of thought into dressing up, and when she was satisfied with tidying up and down, she watched the time and went to the Chongzheng Hall. All the officials are in front of the ancestral temple at this moment, and everyone in the royal family is first in the Chongzheng Hall. Waiting in the government hall, when Feng Lingsu seized the time and Shi Shiran arrived at the Chongzheng hall, she saw the emperor and empress who had already been sitting on the throne at a glance. She could see Yan Huai every day, but it was I haven't seen Zhao Shuhua for many days. She thought that the confinement for so many days must have made Zhao Shuhua miserable, but she didn't expect that after many days, Zhao Shuhua was still as radiant as before. The bright red court dress on her body was embroidered with bright phoenixes. Sitting next to the emperor with a dignified make-up, she actually pushed her down. At that moment, the jealousy that had been suppressed in Feng Lingsu's heart for so many years burst out crazily.
At three o'clock, the fifth princess, Yan Zhen, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, entered the main hall of the Chongzheng Hall gracefully and gracefully with the help of her maidservants. When she saw Zhao Shuhua sitting on the first seat, Yan Zhen's tears immediately filled her eyes. eye sockets...
