After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 338 The emperor’s “cake” is not easy to eat (page 12)

Ci'en Palace is not another palace, but is located not far from Tonghua Palace. It is actually a Taoist palace built by His Majesty the Emperor in memory of his eldest son Sikong Jui who died in infancy.

Mrs. He was of course unwilling to hear that His Majesty the Emperor had pardoned the Crown Prince's guilt, but later she heard that the Emperor had actually slapped the "title" of Xuancheng Yuanjun on Queen Yu's head, and she almost laughed out loud on the spot - Ci'en The palace is a Taoist temple in Taicheng City. The Yu family moved to Ci'en Palace and was demoted to Xuancheng Yuanjun. It is like leading a monk to practice. He was not directly deposed, but what is the difference between being deposed?

The queen has been deposed, and your majesty believed that the prince had an affair with the Yin family. Although the Liu family was responsible for the crime, can your majesty not feel guilty? In this battle, they are the ones who have won the victory, but they can just give up when they get the chance.

Once the case is cleared up, there is no need for the prince or concubines to stay in the Qianyang Palace. Although everyone understands that today's matter cannot be publicized, but such a big thing has happened, of course they will not leave it as soon as they step out of the Qianyang Palace. Putting it behind her, even Princess Qinghe subconsciously followed her to Wangchuan Pavilion. She didn't dare to discuss it with others in private, but discussing it with her mother wouldn't cause trouble, right?

But Princess Qinghe didn't know where to start the discussion, and she stopped talking several times.

The kitchen of Wangchuan Pavilion prepared a fresh fish soup today. The milky white soup was sprinkled with scallions, rice, and coriander. Concubine Jian saw that her daughter seemed to be overwhelmed by the food, so she asked the maids to present a bowl of fish soup, and then said: "No matter what happens, you must eat well. Eat well first, and then talk."

Princess Qinghe loved and respected her mother, but she had a nickname called Ah Li, and she also loved to eat fish like a civet cat, especially the fresh fish soup cooked by Ming Nu Yi, so she gave up on other people at the moment. With the thought in mind, I finished my lunch seriously and then followed my mother to the study room. In fact, Jian Bin's study did not see many classics, but there were quite a few idle books, more calligraphy and painting than idle books. Jian Bin loved painting in her free time. Every flower and grass in Wangchuan Pavilion could be included in the painting, and the painting hanging in the most conspicuous place in the study is the picture of a child playing with a raccoon dog - but every time Princess Qinghe looks at this picture, she feels that she and the civet cat are actually both. Being "played" by a little palace maid.

"Do you still remember Xiao Tao?" Jian Bin asked.

Xiaotao is the little palace maid in the picture.

"I don't quite remember what it looked like."

"When I drew this picture, Xiao Tao was only eight years old. She had just entered the palace and had not learned the rules thoroughly. I liked her spirituality and chose her specially. Later, Yin Cairen also fell in love with her and insisted on her. She goes to serve.”

"But Xiaotao is my mother's palace servant, how can Yin Cairen..."

"I was originally blamed for this matter." Concubine Jian said, "I was responsible for selecting the maids to serve Yin Cairen. I was too cautious at the time and did not want to go against Yin Cairen's wishes. I first said that I could follow her wishes. She asked Xiaotao to serve her, so I couldn't refuse."

"Then Xiao Tao..." Princess Qinghe shuddered when she thought of Yin Cairen's ending.

"Fortunately, no innocent people were harmed. Xiaotao has left the palace now. Although her life is more miserable, she is far away from risks, which makes her more worry-free."

Princess Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head to look at the scroll. She was holding a flower. She didn't know if she was teasing the civet cat or her maid.

"Ah Li, why are you feeling uneasy today?" Jian Bin asked.

Princess Qinghe couldn't help but feel sore in her eyes. Her mother hadn't called her by her nickname for a long time.

"Auntie, is Her Royal Highness the Queen really, really deposed?"

"Who said Her Royal Highness the Queen has been deposed?" Concubine Jian lit the incense and raised her eyes: "Without the deposed edict, the Queen is still the Queen. In the past, the Queen was not very close to the princesses, and even she was quite distant from Gao Ping. In the future, when the Queen is in Ci'en Palace, whether she is repenting or praying, please don't bother her."

"But what will happen to the prince brother?" Princess Qinghe whispered.

"Ahri, you have to trust your father, and you have to trust Shiro. With your father and brother here, you don't need to worry too much."

"Auntie, I heard from Fu's mother about the Nine Kings' Rebellion. Fu's mother said that the chaos was all caused by the waste of the prince..."

"The struggle for power in the royal family has always been a difficult problem, and no one can tell which way to solve the problem is the right solution. Ahri, what is the purpose of Your Majesty asking the concubines, princes, and princesses to go to the Qianyang Palace for the hearing today?"

"Yes... I have long been dissatisfied with Her Majesty the Queen."

"Although these words are correct, they are not His Majesty's real intention. Your Majesty wants to warn the people that those who kill people indiscriminately will be punished. In fact, the chaos in this palace has existed for many years, and it is far more than just the Yin Cai people. It is better to change than to stay the same if you suffer from it. If you keep hiding it, the sore will continue to ooze pus. Your Majesty is determined to remove the sore this time. "

"I'm scared, even Her Majesty the Queen... if someone frames my mother-in-law..."

Jian Bin smiled: "I have never done anything evil, so I am not afraid of those sneaky people. Although sometimes the saying that good and evil are rewarded seems untrue, there are always innocent people who will suffer disasters for no reason, and even be slandered and persecuted. But my In my heart, I always hold on to the belief that when living in the inner court, you must not be without calculations, but you cannot go too far, otherwise you will be trapped in chaos and chaos. "

Princess Qinghe slowly exhaled: "Then... can I still go to Zhaoyang Palace?"

"Of course you can go. Ahri doesn't have to have any scruples about what happened today."

"I don't know why my father still left Duke He alone."

"About this matter..." Jian Bin thought for a while and decided to reveal her thoughts: "There are only two foreign ministers today. Ting Weiqing was originally investigating this case, and His Majesty also intends to appoint Mr. Gu. As Zongzhengqing, Tingweiqing is Jiangdong Gu's nephew. He knows His Majesty's determination to put an end to the chaos in the royal family, and it will also be convenient for Gu Gong to act after he takes office. But He Jun Gong, in fact, there is no need to be present for the hearing. His Majesty asked him to come, of course. The purpose of letting him come actually has nothing to do with family affairs. It is a matter of national affairs. State affairs come first and the country is the most important. When comparing any personnel affairs with national affairs, one must compromise. "

Concubine Jian also saw that the second prince was not completely innocent in this case. Mrs. He was cruel and ruthless and would not let the queen. But today, your majesty made it clear that he deliberately favored the second prince. It was not because of concerns about "family ugliness", but because of necessity. Jiang Donghe made a compromise on national affairs, and Ting Weiqing understood it and did not go into it further. However, since His Majesty decided to let Gu Gongling be the Zong Zhengqing to handle clan affairs on his behalf, Ting Weiqing would definitely stay in Qianyang Palace for a while.

I don’t know if this matter has anything to do with Shiro.

It is said that Shiro has been in frequent contact with Zhongnvshi recently, and they no longer need her as a "middleman". They are so close that they are as close as if there is no one else... Based on her understanding of her son, she assumes that their personal relationship has nothing to do with it. Zhongnvshi It was even less likely that she would have an intriguing relationship with a certain prince out of nowhere. After the storm subsided, something big was bound to happen. What she was worried about was not the fight within the inner court at all. Concubine Jian looked at her daughter and said softly: " Ahri, we are already in the safest situation. What your father is worried about is not limited to the fight for the reserve. It is difficult for anyone to predict at this time whether the reserve will be changed, but I can be sure that it will be, Your Majesty. Now that we have made a choice, we should not allow the tragedy of fratricide and fratricide to occur. "

In the Qianyang Palace, the emperor also left He Ao and Gu Geng to share lunch. Yingshu did not have this benefit. After lunch, she still needed to write down things. At this time, she could only be on duty at one side of the imperial study room for a short time. Rest, the palace attendants were not allowed to eat when they were on duty. Although the middle-aged girl Yi was considerate and brought her a cup of candied date tea. After Yingshu drank it in one breath, she felt slightly refreshed, but since last night, she has actually not recovered. After a good meal, I still felt ravenous at this time, so I could only distract myself by chatting with Zhongnvyi.
