His little apprentice has a soft and charming waist

After the prince and concubine left, Concubine An Gui cried to the emperor for a while, crying and crying, all she could do was "If you are gone, the concubine will not live anymore", "I will live as long as your majesty grows up in this life. If I live a hundred years old, I will leave to see the Lord of Hell." Wait for the unlucky words.

She also said these words on weekdays, the emperor was very moved, but today, after recalling the past with the princess for a while, the emperor felt that he was still not old, not much different from when he was young, so he was a little tired of Concubine An's crying Voice.

He said helplessly: "Concubine, you and I have not yet reached the point of life and death, it was just a wind and cold, Yingniang didn't take it seriously, and went back to the East Palace happily, why do you have to live and die here? ?”

Concubine An secretly hated, and regretted that she cried too much - but she cried so much because she saw that the emperor was happy with the Donggong couple, so she intensified it, so that the emperor would not see her benefits.

Concubine An Gui used to be a hot tempered person, and she became the emperor's concubine by chance. At that time, her mother's family was not visible and she had no influence. As a result, she fought with one another when she was hiding in the mansion. She still didn't get the position of concubine. The palace, who cried once in a while, was surprised by the emperor and turned over immediately, won the favor of the emperor, and since then the journey has been smooth and smooth, very unhappy.

At that time, the empress had passed away long ago, and the concubines with prominent families who fought with her either died or gave birth to only daughters or a useless son, which was unbearable for reuse.She was the only one who gave birth to the favored King Jin and sat on the position of noble concubine.

The emperor did not make another queen. As a noble concubine, she controlled the harem. Although she didn't have the real name of the queen, she was the same as the queen.

With such power and status, she thought carefully and found that it was the same cry back then, so she began to analyze the crying. There are many kinds of crying in these years, and there are also her unique crying methods today.

She took out her handkerchief, her eyes drooped, and she wiped her tears in grievance, "Your Majesty, the concubine is also worried about you. The concubine is young and doesn't understand the heart of a concubine, don't you understand too? She has a prince, and the concubine The concubine only has you, even if you have a little wind, it will be a big deal to the concubine."

As she spoke, her sadness came from her, and she threw herself into the emperor's arms and said in a painful voice: "Your Majesty, you have not been sick for many years, and my concubine is afraid. you."

The emperor was moved again.After all, he came here together when he was young. Even though he knew that she was not sincere in crying now, he said softly: "Okay, okay, the children are still here, they are all grandmothers, why are they still like when they were young?" Crying like that."

After thinking about it, he made a promise to be the Empress, "I think there will be many good days in late November, why don't you just move to Yongle Palace?"

Yongle Palace is where the queen lives.

Concubine An Gui finally cried out her position as empress, but she was not happy, she talked for a while, and seeing that the emperor was tired, she got up and left.After leaving the gate of Chengde Hall, he walked fast and angry all the way, and when he returned to his palace, he was too angry to speak.

"Well, after crying for a long time, he thought I was crying for the queen?"

King Jin comforted him: "Father has let go, which is also a good thing."

Concubine An gnashed her teeth, "The Queen's position is mine. I have waited for so long and hoped for it every day, but he gave it to me like this, which made me sick!"

King Jin understood what she meant, but there was nothing he could do about it, "Father has become more and more suspicious over the years. He doubts that his mother is crying for the position of queen, and it is normal - just by looking at how he treats the prince, one can know how he treats his mother. There is also sympathy left.”

Concubine An felt relieved when she thought about how the prince was smashed today and how he was scolded in the past.Not only did he lose his temper, but he also laughed, "If the position of the prince continues like this, it will be unstable after all. Your father really hates him, and also really likes you."

She whispered: "Don't be angry that your father didn't give you the position of crown prince. The position of crown prince is very important after all. Behind the crown prince is the Su family. Now he has attracted some small people. With a good reputation, your royal father also has concerns."

Upon hearing this, King Jin frowned and said, "Mother, why do you have to tell your son these things day after day? My son only cares about what is right and wrong. I know what is right."

Concubine An Gui could not tell.She could see that the King of Jin had already criticized the emperor, so she became more and more flustered. She had slept with the emperor for more than 20 years, and she knew too well who the emperor was.She grabbed King Jin's hand and said: "You must not harbor any hatred towards your father, if you have hatred, think about the prince...you have seen what kind of days the prince and your father have lived apart. "

Upon hearing this, King Jin suddenly said after being silent for a while, "But mother, how long will I have to live like this?"

He smiled wryly, "I used to think that I was a sharp blade. Because my father was brave and good at fighting, when he saw my sharpness, he thought I was a precious sword, so he praised me, liked me, and wanted to give the position of the Eastern Palace to me. I."

"But later I followed his will and embarked on this road of seizing the crown. The more I walked, the more I felt that I was not a knife, but just the prince's whetstone. Because the prince is really stupid and cowardly, my father saw me showing my sharpness. , let the prince come to me to test the knife."

When he said this, he covered his face, "Mother, I'm still not at that age. At that time, the emperor gave me a piece of jade like a prince, thinking that I was like a prince, and it was not when I was a teenager. I am now in my 20s, and I know what I look like and my position in the heart of my father... Mother, do I want to go on like this? What if my father ends up like this? Does the emperor still only use me as a whetstone?"

Concubine An's heart skipped a beat, she took King Jin's hand, "Son, what do you want? You must not do anything stupid."

King Jin shook his head, "I don't do stupid things. Now that my mother is about to be the queen, and I'm also the son, I will only be more justified."

He suddenly smiled and said: "I just don't believe that my father will let me go with the flow and give me this position in the East Palace. Mother, I have to leave a way out for myself."

Concubine An's forehead jumped violently, she didn't speak for a while, but she finally agreed with her son's words, and said: "What do you want to do, mother will naturally pave the way for you, here in the harem, you don't have to worry."

Then he paused, and said: "Princess Concubine... is much more powerful than the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince is not as good as her. With her around, I am always worried."

Concubine Jin had been sitting on a chair and dared not speak before, but now she replied, "Concubine Mu, the East Palace... is not a beautiful scene, isn't the prince, Zhao Mei, just making trouble together?"

Concubine An looked over, "Do you have a solution?"

Princess Jin nodded, "I have to try."

Concubine An hesitated again and again, nodded and said: "Be careful, don't leave your tail behind."

Princess Jin: "Mother, don't worry."

Concubine An can't rest assured.Now at the critical moment, she was afraid that the two couples would show their feet and make the emperor disgusted.Being so worried, I thought of something else, "When the Crown Princess mentioned Suilan today..."

King Jin's face darkened, "Mother, don't mention him."

Concubine An didn't dare to mention it, she just sighed, "I don't know if your father really doesn't blame you or something..."

In fact, she also likes that child, and she doesn't want him to die.But he is a subject of the prince, loyal to the prince, has different ways and does not conspire with each other, so he has no choice but to get rid of him.

She waved her hand, "I'm tired too, you guys go to the side hall to rest too."

Jin Wang and his wife got up to leave, went out, and carried the lanterns. The moon and stars were thin outside, but it was a sunny day.

……

The moon and stars are sparse, the wind is slightly cool, and autumn is strong.

Sheng Yanling carried a hexagonal glazed lantern, boldly took Guan Gui to tell Li Shi, "Auntie, it's a good day today, I want to go out to see the night view."

Li Shi was taken aback, "It's so late, why are you going out? Wait until tomorrow?"

Sheng Yanling whispered: "Auntie, shall we go back tomorrow?"

Li rubbed her nose with guilt, "Yes, Your Majesty is ill. King Shun will ride on the horse first, followed by your elder sister. She should be in the palace now. It's not good for us to stay here, we still have to go back to the capital. "

There is no reason for His Majesty's sick and suffering courtiers to enjoy themselves.Forget about other people's homes, King Shun and the prince both went back from Xiaoxi Mountain. When the emperor inquired, well, you are still soaking in hot springs. Isn't this an extra crime?

Li Shi didn't dare to stay, she was already planning to pack up and leave tomorrow morning, but she just coaxed her along the way.She smiled again and said, "It's my aunt's fault, she treats you like a child—will you wait until next time?"

Feast Bell nodded in disappointment, "Okay, next time."

She went back with the hexagonal glazed lantern, and then the second young lady came out from behind the screen, patted her chest and said, "Oh, I almost came out and promised my mother, why is Yanling so good at being pitiful? If I were a Man, how can I resist being nice to her?"

Li Shi still scolded Yu Xingzhi, "The little beast is harmful to people!"

After cursing, he said as if thinking of something: "Let my mother-in-law go and deliver some supper to Yanling and Xixi, don't be hungry."

The mother-in-law went away in response, and as soon as she went out, she saw the third young master and Miss Sheng Biao standing in the yard.The third girl is in front, and the third young master is behind.

Behind the third young master there are three or four young servants, and behind the cousin girl there are also maids and maidservants. The two met in the veranda, and they obviously met. The third young master probably didn't see the third young master in front, but the third young master saw the third young girl behind him. Yes, no sound.

Both of them were wearing cloaks for evening, one was graceful and graceful, the other was charming and docile, they looked like a perfect match.

It's really eye-catching, but it's a pity that the portal is wrong.

The mother-in-law sighed secretly, walked over respectfully, and called out: "Third young master, Cousin girl."

Ning Shuo was preoccupied with things, didn't realize it for a while, and before he could react, Shengyan Bell turned around with the light on, the wind brushed his temples, and said with a smile, "Mother Huang, what's the matter?"

She had seen the third cousin a long time ago!But she dare not look back!

The old woman was confused by her figure for a moment, and after a while she said: "Girl, madam is asking the old slave to go to the kitchen to order supper, what would you like to eat, Miss?"

Shengyan Bell: "Just make a bowl of clear water noodles."

The mother-in-law nodded, "Yes."

After she left, Sheng Yanling looked at Ning Shuo, didn't know what to say, and asked in a panic, "Third brother, why is the other courtyard named Xiaoxi Zhuang? Is there any allusion?"

Ning Shuo was looking at the hexagonal glazed lamp in her hand in a daze, and was called "Three Brothers", and then he came back to his senses, and then murmured: "I don't know, it should be taken from Xiaoxuan Window, and I am dressing up." .”
