princess's sorrow

I feel like a poor puppy who was abandoned by others and was kicked out of the Jingyang Palace by my concubine. I pouted and walked in the imperial garden. Am I going back now?Am I saying "come when you call, go when you wave"?My mood was extremely depressed, and while walking, I kicked the pebbles on the side of the road with my feet.

"Princess Wan'an." After turning a corner, a eunuch facing me smiled and saluted me.

"En." I said, and I recognized him at a glance as the most favored Eunuch Ping beside my father, so I asked, "Eunuch Ping, where is my father?"

"The princess is really filial, she misses her Majesty as soon as she enters the palace." Eunuch Ping said, "Your Majesty is in the imperial study, please go with the servants, the princess."

I was taken aback, "Did Mr. Ping come here to wait for me?"

Eunuch Ping said with a smile: "Exactly."

Seeing my surprised look, Eunuch Ping hurriedly laughed and said: "Princess, don't be alarmed. The imperial concubine is not feeling well. Your majesty sent someone to notify the third highness and the princess to come to visit. The servant is here to wait for the third highness and the princess." Princess, but I don’t want to wait for the princess first.”

I nodded and said: "Yes, my concubine asked me to go back first, my brother is still in Jingyang Palace." While talking, I followed Eunuch Ping to the imperial study.

"Father." When I saw Father, I yelled, opened my arms, and hugged him passionately.

Father embraced me, hugged me to sit on his lap, let me take his hair scattered on his shoulders in my hands, and play with it around my fingers, I nestled in his arms , swaying her little feet, she said, "Father, Imperial Concubine Mother is not happy today."

The emperor asked with concern: "What's the matter? Your mother and concubine Gao are not happy, how did you know, Ning'er?"

I pouted and said: "Ning'er just knows that Ning'er was kicked out by his mother and concubine just now, and now only my brother is still in Jingyang Palace."

Father heard this, and he frowned for a long while without saying a word. I stroked his forehead with my hand and asked, "Father, what's the matter with you, Father?"

Father carried me down to the ground, took my little hand and said, "Ning'er, let's go to the Imperial Garden with Father to enjoy the flowers. A few days ago, the subordinates brought some chrysanthemums as tributes, and they are growing in the Imperial Garden. I heard it’s blooming brightly.”

I nodded, and as I followed Father, I asked, "Father, why are you unhappy?"

Father Huang sighed for a long time, and said: "Ning'er, you are still young, you don't understand these things."

I grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously: "Father, Ning'er has been married for two years. What do you mean is still young? She is not young anymore."

Father was immediately amused by my words, followed me and replied: "Okay, Ning'er is a big girl." After finishing speaking, he looked at my thin body, grinned secretly, and even the people behind him Eunuch Ping was also smirking.

But I didn't care so much, and said cheekily: "Father, since Ning'er is already a big girl, you can tell Ning'er if you have any unhappy things."

Father hesitated for a while, and then said: "Ning'er, father asked you, do you want your eldest brother to be the crown prince or your third brother to be the crown prince?"

I replied: "It doesn't matter, they are all my imperial brothers anyway, so what does it matter which one becomes the prince? No matter which one becomes the prince, I am still the princess."

After hearing my words, my father couldn't help but smiled wryly, and then enlightened me: "Ning'er, you have to know that your elder brother was born to Concubine Gong, and your third brother was born to your concubine mother."

I suddenly remembered the words I overheard, and what my mother and concubine said to me about "speaking nicely for my brother in front of my father", so I said "ah", and my father looked at me strangely, I So he shook his hand and said: "Father, I understand, mother concubine, she wants her brother to be the crown prince."

Father Huang nodded and motioned for me to continue, so I said: "Father Emperor, Mother Concubine is crying today, she is lying on the bed, crying so sadly, brother is comforting her by the side, Father Emperor, why don't you go See mother concubine?"

The emperor said: "It's not that I don't want to see your concubine mother, it's your concubine mother, she doesn't want to see me now."

"Ah? Why?" I hurriedly asked back. In my impression, my father would go to my mother's side every day, and my mother would get up every morning to dress up beautifully. How could I still not want to see my father? when?

"Yes, it's the emperor who couldn't comply with your concubine mother's request this time." The emperor said.

"What request? Father, why can't you agree to Mother Concubine?" I asked, but I was thinking in my heart, is it because Mother Concubine's request is too much, otherwise, I can't wait to dote on Mother Concubine like Mother Mother He picked all the stars in the sky to her, so what request should he refuse her?

Father stroked my hair and asked me: "Ning'er, if I make your elder brother the crown prince, will you blame father?"

I shook my head and said, "No wonder."

The royal father smiled and said: "My Ning'er is really cute and cute. If your mother and concubine think the same way, you won't be angry with me."

"What's the matter? Father, can you tell me? Okay." I said coquettishly to Father.

Father finally couldn't hold me back and said: "Okay, okay, I will tell Ning'er, but Ning'er is not allowed to tell anyone else, not even your son-in-law Captain."

I quickly nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and my father said: "Your concubine mother gave birth to three princes for my father, but in the end only your third brother survived. At that time, you The concubine mother yells every day that someone wants to kill her and her son. The emperor loves your concubine mother, and in order to reassure her, he wrote an imperial decree specifying that your third brother should be the crown prince. That's it. Your mother and concubine are gradually feeling better, and in the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years."

I thought of the "imperial decree" or "God's will" I overheard in the mother's bedroom, and thought in my heart, it must be this imperial edict. Waiting for the emperor to speak slowly.

So the father continued: "In these days, the courtiers have come forward one after another to ask the father to appoint your elder brother as the crown prince. The father really cares about your third brother in his heart, but as an emperor, the father cannot close the door. Speak the way, treat the subjects above the court with your own love, last night, the father went to the Jingyang Palace where your mother and concubine lived, and your mother and concubine found the imperial edict from that day on the beam He came out and asked his father to make this imperial decree public. His father was really hard to decide, but he didn't want to. When he opened the imperial decree, he found that the imperial decree was riddled with moths, especially the words "you The place where Brother San Huang's name is, is so rotten that I can't even read a single word."

I was startled, tightly grasping Father's hand, and asked: "Then, Father, what should I do then?"

Father said: "Father saw it and felt stunned. Thinking about it, this is only God's will. Otherwise, with Father's hard work in the past ten years, it would not be enough to support your third brother as the crown prince." It can be realized, but this imperial edict has also been destroyed for no reason, let me ask, how can humans overcome the sky?" When I said this, my father looked up at the sky, and the hand tightly held by me trembled slightly.

"Father, don't be sad, don't be sad." I said quickly.

After a while, the father came back to his senses and said: "Last night, after the father left, the palace people reported that your mother and concubine cried a lot, and then smashed all the things in the palace. The father is afraid She couldn't think of anything good or bad, so she announced you brother and sister into the palace early this morning."

Oh I got it!It turned out that it was the father who came here in the morning to announce the imperial edict. It turned out that the reason why the mother and concubine were crying and angry was because her brother could not be the crown prince, but is the position of crown prince really that good?I deeply disagree.
