A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 112
The wind blew the lanterns under the eaves, the lanterns dangling, and finally it was calm.
Wang Chen: “Father, if you are here, what prince do you want?”
“If you become a prince, you will have your own Zhan Shifu, and you will have the power to deal with the affairs of the government. You don’t have to get the consent of your father for everything.” Emperor Longfeng laughed: “Lingzhou Mingjia, it’s just a matter of yours. .”
“Even if the princes are not the princes, they want to deal with them, it is a matter of saying something to you.” Wang Chen shook his head: “I can find you if I have something to do before, but I will do it myself in the future. What’s the point of this prince?
“Men set up a family and set up a business to support their wives and children. Don’t you want the princess to see you calmly and decisively and point out the world?”
“Do you want your princess to feel that you have nothing to do except to find your father?”
“Do you want the courtiers to laugh at me, saying that I can’t find a good successor?”
“Your eldest brother has an upright personality, although he is clever, but he doesn’t know how to be flexible. Your second brother is even more straightforward and doesn’t have the courage to hold up big things. As for the third child, he is gentle, too sleek, but too sleek, he can’t be a wise man. Emperor. Fourth…”
Speaking of Yun Yanze, Emperor Longfeng looked at Wang Chen: “His disposition is the most unsuitable for being an emperor among all of your brothers.”
“You are my beloved son, and you have the power of an emperor.” Emperor Longfeng sighed: “When the first emperor was in power, the people lived in hardship. Regardless of the noble concubines, the poor women in the concubine palace are just the first emperors. A drop in the ocean of evil deeds. As long as you can sympathize with the noble concubine, you can understand how important you are to the people of the world.”
“The world is more than just two words.” Emperor Longfeng opened the window and let King Chen see the flowers and trees outside, and the bright moon in the sky: “The world is tens of thousands of people. In the emperor’s joy and anger.”
“When your princess was born, she was forced to separate from her family and was finally abandoned in the mountains and forests. The culprit was not the Ming family in Lingzhou, but the Emperor Xian.”
“He listens to slander, does not discern loyalty and traitor, and makes the whole court smoky. Your princess is the lucky one among the victims.” Emperor Longfeng turned his head to look at Wang Chen: “Du Qing, you are my eyebrow. Dai’s child, you have my decisiveness and the kindness of Meidai. I believe you will become a good prince.”
Wang Chen walked to the window, closed the window, took up his robe and put it on him: “You have taken off your robe, what night breeze is blowing.”
“Fine.” Emperor Longfeng smiled lovingly: “You are still young now, and I will talk about these things later. I promise you about the Ming Family in Lingzhou. You will rest at Taiyang Palace tonight.”
“I have a daughter-in-law now. What are you doing here?” Chen Wang helped Emperor Longfeng tidy up his robe: “You should rest early. Don’t stay up late all the time.”
As long as there are a lot of affairs in the court, the father and the queen are afraid that the mother will know that he will stay up late to deal with government affairs, so he will find an excuse to stay in the Taiyang Palace. This little trick, he knew when he was very young.
“I heard that someone in the palace talked about the old fourth’s gossip, and you handled it?” Emperor Longfeng sat on the dragon bed.
Wang Chen sat down next to him: “The son should let Laozi discipline him, what should outsiders say? There is a folk saying that the meat is rotten in the pot and there is no reason for outsiders to take it away.”
Emperor Longfeng laughed: “You are right.”
Everyone thinks that it is because of Meidai that he particularly favors Duqing.
But I don’t know what he loves most is his character.
“You hurry up and rest. Tomorrow is not bright, and you have to rush to the Great Court.” Wang Chen always felt that the emperor, especially the Mingjun, often covered the stars out of bed, backed up the palace, and often got up in the middle of the night to deal with it. Urgent matters.
Although power is tempting, if self-denial and self-examination cannot be achieved, being in a high position will only harm more people.
“I really hope that you can live long and healthy, and Fuze is safe.” Emperor Longfeng of the Chen dynasty deeply thought, turned and walked out of the Taiyang Palace.
The palace is extremely quiet, and occasionally there is the sound of insects. The **** and palace lady on duty walked by with a smile, and when he saw the steps he was riding, she quickly reduced her smile, and respectfully retreated to the side.
The guards in armor passed by, and the saber hit the armor, making a noise.
They bowed their hands to him respectfully, and the red tassels on the helmets moved slowly in the night breeze.
“Stop.” Wang Chen looked at the guard on duty slowly going away carrying the lantern, and looked back in the direction of Taiyang Palace: “Go back to Taiyang Palace.”
Jiuzhu woke up from the bed, the king Chen beside her was still asleep, she thought about it, and then retracted her head.
There was the sound of birds singing outside, and she looked at the long eyelashes on Wang Chen’s face, and silently counted how many eyelashes he had with a smile.
Someone outside was pacing non-stop, it seemed that there was something urgent to tell them, but they didn’t dare to come in and disturb them.
Holding the pillow with one hand, Jiuzhu turned over and jumped out of the bed, wrapped his robe around her body, and went to the outside room with her toes on her toes: “What happened?”
“Wang Concubine.” Seeing Jiuzhu coming out, the vernal equinox walked to her and whispered in her ear: “Something happened to Zhang Liugong.”
“what’s happenin?”
“Four princes and concubines had a miscarriage.” The vernal equinox complexion was a little pale: “The person who came to spread the word said that today the four princes and concubines woke up later than before, and the people who served by her were worried, and when they entered the inner room, they found that the four princes The bedding under her body was dyed red, and the child in her belly was gone.”
Jiuzhu was stunned for a moment: “You go to the storeroom to get medicinal materials for replenishing qi and blood, I’ll go over and take a look immediately.
“Princess, you wait.” The maids gathered around her: “The servants are waiting for you to dress up.”
Jiuzhu sat in front of the dressing table, her brows frowning tightly. She had only met Sun Caiyao a few days ago. She looked very good and didn’t seem to be prone to miscarriage.
In the room of Zhangliu Gong Xiaoyuan, Sun Caiyao leaned on the bedside and drank the medicine from the white peony. Her expression was not sad or angry, but rather numb.
Yun Yanze walked into the room and waved his hand to make everyone in the room retreat. The worry and distress on his face disappeared a little bit.
Sun Caiyao sneered: “His Royal Highness, finally you don’t have to act in front of me?”
Yun Yanze: “The child is gone, you are in a bad mood now, take a good rest in the house.”
“You disgusting hypocrite.” Sun Caiyao said bitterly: “I really regret it, I really regret marrying you.”
“It wasn’t you who approached me on the initiative and wanted to marry me?” Yun Yanze said blankly: “Now that I see my king loses power, and Yun Duqing is still the superior Chen Wang, regret it?”
“That’s really a pity.” He sneered, “If you didn’t go boating with me on the lake back then, you might be Princess Chen now. How kind Yun Duqing is to her princess, silks, jewellery and jade are constantly going to her house. Let it go, accompany her to set off fireworks, accompany her to climb mountains and admire the scenery, and accompany her to make paper kites.”
“Unfortunately, your life is not good.” He walked to the bed and clamped her chin with his hands: “I know you saw what happened last night.”
Sun Caiyao’s pupils widened and tears filled her eyes: “You are a lunatic!”
“You who worked so hard to marry me are such a good thing.” Yun Yanze let go of her chin: “I remember you had an older brother working in a field, and you obediently prayed for him, in case something accident happens. It’s not so good, right?”
“The one who was riding on horseback and catching the child who fell out of the window was not you at all, right?” Sun Caiyao asked sharply, “You have been lying to me all the time.”
“Lied to you?” Yun Yanze chuckled, “When did I admit that I was that person, everything is your hysterical thoughts, what to do with me?”
“No wonder…no wonder…”
Sun Caiyao finally understood that it is no wonder that Ming Jiuzhu in the dream will die with him in the end. Poorly, she still felt that Ming Jiuzhu was acting harshly and worried about him everywhere, but she didn’t expect that she was the fool.
“Let me think about it, that year there was indeed a prince who saved the child who fell out of the window.” Yun Yanze’s face was filled with crazy pleasure: “Guess who it is?”
Sun Caiyao’s face was as white as paper.
“It seems you have guessed it.”
“It’s the Yun Duqing who is so despised by you.” Yun Yanze laughed out loud: “If you didn’t seduce me, you might be able to marry your sweetheart.”
Since his life is full of misfortune, seeing others in pain also makes him happy.
“Sister Vernal Equinox, listen, it seems that someone is crying.” Jiuzhu looked behind the rockery: “You take someone to see, what’s the matter?”
The vernal equinox came back soon: “The princess is a palace lady who raised a cat for Princess Roude. The cat she raised was broken by somebody. By the time she found it outside Zhang Sixth Palace, the cat was already half-lived. No more. She both loves the cat and is afraid of punishment by the princess, so she hides here crying.”
Jiuzhu frowned. She remembered that Princess Zhao’s cat had two front legs broken in Zhang Sixth Palace.
After she walked to the rockery, she saw the little palace lady holding the cat and sobbing quietly. The plush cat looked very pitiful.
“Still alive.” Jiuzhu thought for a while, took a pill out of her purse, twisted it gently with two fingers, crushed the medicine, broke the kitten’s mouth, and fed the medicine in.
“Wang Hao, what kind of medicine is this?”
“The medicine my master refined, said that as long as it doesn’t hurt the inner abdomen, it can cure illness and save lives.” Seeing that the cat has already vented a lot and has little air intake, it is useless to find an imperial doctor: “Just try it.”
“Thank you, princess, thank you princess.” The little palace lady hugged the cat and thanked Jiuzhu again and again.
“It’s okay, you keep the cat here, don’t move it.” Jiuzhu touched the cat’s head: “When I come out of Zhang Liugong, I will help you send the cat to Princess Roude.”
The princess is protecting her.
The little palace lady didn’t understand yet, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed her head at Jiuzhu.
When Jiuzhu left, she leaned on the rockery and sat in a daze with the cat in her arms. After waiting for some time, she suddenly heard the cat whispering.
She lowered her head excitedly, and saw the cat opened her eyes, tears streaming out of her eyes again.
When Jiuzhu arrived in Sun Caiyao’s house, the other princesses had already arrived. The princesses were a little depressed, and when Jiuzhu came in, there was no smile on their faces.
“Sister-in-law.” Jiuzhu gently held her wrist: “How is your body?”
Sun Caiyao looked at Jiuzhu who came from the Kylin Palace, held her hand tightly, resisted the tears for a long time, and rolled down.
“You are not easy to cry now, now you raise your body, you will have everything in the future.” Seeing the beauty weeping, Jiuzhu’s heart softened, she took out a handkerchief to help Sun Caiyao gently wipe her tears: “Anytime, girls do Be nice to yourself.”
“Just cry out.” Seeing Sun Caiyao crying so sad, Princess Pregnant also reddened her eyes: “The imperial doctor said that she was overwhelmed by anger and caused a miscarriage. If there is something in your heart, cry, always relax. A little bit.”
It’s just that they didn’t expect that the relationship between the fourth sibling and the fifth sibling did not seem to be too close, but after she came, they wept bitterly.
Sun Caiyao felt even more sad when she heard Jiuzhu’s comfort. She reached out and hugged Jiuzhu’s waist and cried aloud.
This woman who had been jealous, guilty, and defensive, finally became the only one who could give her a little sense of security.
Jiuzhu was stunned for a while, then stretched out his hand and placed it lightly on Sun Caiyao’s back, patted slowly.
The white peony came in with the medicine, and saw the four princes and concubines leaning on the arms of the princess Chen, looked down at the steaming soup medicine in the bowl, and stood aside.
“No more, no more.” Sun Caiyao cried and muttered: “It’s all my fault, it’s my fault.”
Her chattering voice was so small that no one except Jiuzhu could hear her.
“It’s not your fault.” Jiuzhu comforted her: “The child is just too naughty. He ran to other places to play and forgot the way to home. When you get better, you will come back.”
“It’s okay if he doesn’t come to such a home.” Sun Caiyao leaned on Jiuzhu’s ear and said quickly and quietly: “Be careful with Yun Yanze, he is a lunatic.”
Suddenly, she pushed Jiuzhu away and sneered at her: “What’s the use of such comforting words, I think you are laughing at me?”
Jiuzhu turned her head back naturally, she saw Yun Yanze standing outside the door, haggard and painful.
