In the spring of the next year, under the recommendation of General Yue Da, a member of Prince Jing's family, the Seventh Prince went into battle again, and together with General Gao, commanded the two battalions in Kyoto and then stationed in the northwest.

In March, the news of the arrival of the Seventh Prince did not come back to Beijing, and there was a big commotion in the capital.

First, a woman named Qionghua beat the drums in Yingtian Mansion to protest her grievances, claiming that Prince Jing's side concubine had seized her son to deceive the emperor; There were several crimes such as splitting, favoring concubines and destroying wives, and 23 censors seconded it. In the end, more than a thousand students from Taixue went to the Confucian Temple, and the people's voices were boiling.

The case was handed over to the patriarchal government for a thorough investigation, which lasted two months. Finally, the Lang family was granted death, and the Yue family was imprisoned in the nunnery; Prince Jing was removed from his hat and crowned with Dongzhu, demoted to the county king, and suspended for several crimes such as lax family management. Penalties.This scandal was spread by Tai students, and it became a well-known joke throughout the country.King Jing's family also had to temporarily retire from the competition.

In June, Yuanchun was found to be pregnant.The Empress Dowager rewarded four picking girls in the Xiaojin Palace, and then the emperor's grandson distributed them to uncles.

In November of the same year, the old emperor who had been in power for more than [-] years had a relapse, and the dragon returned to the sea.The empress dowager mourned for her injury and died soon.

The grandson of the emperor entered the main Qing palace, and issued thirteen imperial edicts on the same day.First, call the general Wang Qiwang who is in the northwest to ride back to Beijing alone; second, order Zhu Houchen to command Fengtai Daying to blockade the nine gates to guard the capital; third, appoint King Jingjun to go to the imperial mausoleum for burial .The rest will not be repeated.However, "if the father dies, the son will not change his way for three years", let's follow the old practice for the time being, and gradually figure it out.

In December, it is tentatively scheduled that the Seventh Prince will return to Beijing.

Jia Yuanchun, now the Concubine Jia, wore a white filial dress and slowly walked up the white marble steps, with tourmaline and Baoqin carefully guarding her left and right.

"Why did you come here at this time?" The grandson of the emperor, who is now the emperor, greeted the door of the South Study in person.

Jia Yuanchun smiled and took his outstretched arm, stepped over the threshold with some difficulty, glanced at the study room casually, saw the two civil servants behind him were waiting with their heads down and held their breath, turned their eyes to Shui Luo and said: " The concubine thought that it was getting late, and the emperor was busy with his family and the world, so he should take care of himself. Why don't you have dinner first, and then..." She hesitated for a while, "Replenish...be rejuvenated...hey, my concubine These days are also stupid, words can’t come out of my mouth.”

Shui Luo paid close attention to her feet, only helped her in, and said casually: "Work hard."

Jia Yuanchun clapped his hands and smiled, "This is the emperor's golden words. Only when you are full can you work hard."

As soon as Shui Luo said something, he knew he had been fooled. Recently, Yuan Chun fell in love with playing this trick, and he couldn't get tired of it. He had no choice but to smile, watching Yuan Chun sit quietly, and said to the two civil servants behind him: "In that case, Ai Qing will also accompany you." Let me eat first."

The two civil servants didn't dare to drink some soup in the morning for the sake of sanctity, and only stuffed a few mouthfuls of dry food. After such a long time, they couldn't stand it anymore, but the new emperor was in a good mood. Feeling dizzy for a while, I was afraid that the imperial court would be disrespectful. Hearing these words at this moment is really like hearing the gospel, and there is a smile on his face.

The eunuch who served food had arranged the dinner that had been prepared earlier.

Taking advantage of the gap between setting the table, Shui Luo issued another decree. He talked about the two civil servants while drawing up the decree, "The former great general, the seventh prince, has fought for years and made outstanding achievements. When the decree arrives, he will be granted the title of county king and rewarded Receive the prince's salary." He paused for a moment and then said: "After the Jin Dynasty, the post of general left behind, that is to say, Zhu Houchen, the governor of Fengtai, took it. After the officer came to Beijing to see his majesty, he immediately took up the post. "

As soon as Shui Luo's words fell, the civil servant had already written the decree, submitted it to the emperor for a look, and passed it on without any inappropriateness.

Jia Yuanchun listened on the sidelines, this tactic was to take back the military power from the hands of the Seventh Prince.

After dinner, Yuan Chun got up and said goodbye.

Now she is the only one in Shuiluo's harem, and according to Shuiluo's intention, they can live together in Qianqing Palace; but now it is still in the filial piety period, and it is always difficult for the emperor and concubine to sleep together, so Yuanchun temporarily lives in Fengzao Palace.However, if Shuilong hadn't been busy with political affairs all night, he would have come to Fengzao Palace to take a look.

At the end of December, the coffins of the late emperor and empress dowager were sent to the imperial mausoleum.On the day of departure, Yuan Chun accompanied Shui Luo to offer incense in front of the ancestral tablet.

She looked at Shui Luo's red eyes, took his hand and gently placed it on her already protruding belly, letting him feel the beating of new life.

"Let's think of a name for our baby."

Shui Luo smiled, and said softly: "I've been thinking about him since I knew I had him, and I've thought of hundreds of names in the past six months."

Yuan Chun couldn't help smiling, "Hundreds of them? How come I don't know?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm afraid you'll bother me. I'm thinking of picking the three best ones for you."

"Well... three..."

The two gossiped, and walked out of the ancestral temple arm in arm. Behind them were rows of ancestral tablets and circles of Buddhist temple incense; in front of them was the boundless clear sky and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
