Queen's Road in the Red House

In the silence of Fengyi Palace, Emperor Xuanhe glanced over everyone present one by one, and finally fell on Xin Hongcheng.

This child didn't sit upright like the others, but looked at his palm a little bored, as if in a trance.

So the emperor directly called out his name and said, "Cheng'er, what are you thinking about?"

Xin Hongcheng got up: "Father, my son is thinking about the homework that the master may ask."

The emperor was a little surprised: "Homework?"

At this time, he was actually thinking about his homework.

The noble concubine couldn't help but said: "Sure enough, His Highness Fourth is diligent and hardworking. Now even the emperor and empress are worried about His Highness Sixth's body, His Highness Fourth only thinks about homework."

Concubine Ming remained silent, glanced at Concubine Gui from the corner of her eye, and said in her heart: If I were you, I wouldn't rush to say this.Don't say that the emperor's heart is biased, the fourth prince in front of you, although he is a boy who has just turned 15 years old, is definitely not a person who jumps into a pit by himself, you are too hasty to make a move at this moment.

Sure enough, the surprise in the emperor's heart turned into a frown after hearing what the concubine said.

It’s just that this displeasure is directed at the noble concubine: “Princes’ reading is of course the top priority. Cheng’er is a child himself, so he should take care of Xiao Liu. What does the queen do? What do you do? You used to assist Liu Gong I didn't hear that you took special care of Xiao Liu when I was here, but now you're provoking Cheng'er's troubles."

The imperial concubine was so choked by the emperor that she could only grit her teeth and admit her mistake.

Xin Hongcheng thanked the imperial concubine for jumping out to give the head away.

He was wearing a sea blue golden cloud tuanfu prince's uniform today. In the hot summer, it was as refreshing as a piece of clean ice in an ice jar.

After hearing the emperor's attack on the concubine, Xin Hongcheng smiled: "What the father said is true. What the sons can do is to study hard and not make trouble for the father. Just like the mother and the two mother concubines, they care about the health of the sixth brother, It is the same to relieve father and emperor's worries."

The emperor's face turned slightly cold: "Relieve my worries?"

He looked at the stern-faced queen, and the two concubines who were sitting below waiting for the results. This was not to relieve my worries. It was clearly him, the emperor, who became the official of the Dali Temple to resolve the case.

No matter who's dereliction of duty, in short, it will cause trouble for him.

The emperor's relaxed mood in the morning because he didn't have to go to court has completely disappeared.

In his opinion, the empress has neglected her duties, but the noble concubine and concubine Ming also watched the fire from the other side, and even fanned the flames, none of them made him feel at ease.

Concubine Ming was keenly aware of the emperor's displeasure, and sighed slightly in her heart: This time, she returned without success again.

She looked at Xin Hongcheng in front of her calmly.

I have to admit that the fourth prince may not be as good as her son in terms of knowledge, but he has a kind of clarity in the world, with a kind of ease beyond his own age, and he is very clear about everything.

It is probably a child without a mother, who grows up gropingly, will always learn to be better than others.

Sure enough, after Miss Zou came back, the emperor not only complained that the queen had neglected to take care of the prince, but also that the two concubines didn't know how to share the queen's worries, so they took such a high position in vain.

But he didn't say a word about restoring the right of the two to assist the Liugong, and then left Fengyi Palace with a bunch of sons.

The imperial concubine was a little disheartened, took a breath, and asked the queen for leave, because she was upset and couldn't listen to the show.Empress Yang didn't bother to see her, so she agreed immediately, and looked at Concubine Ming expectantly, hoping that she would not show up either.

However, Concubine Ming just said submissively that she would go to Changchun Garden to accompany and serve the empress.

Empress Yang was even more discouraged than being accused by the emperor.

After the two concubines resigned, Lady Zou pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, it's the negligence of the servant girl."

Originally, Empress Yang only sent the mint sachets to Xin Hongcheng, but it was Lady Zou who brought the mint sachets to the prince. She treated the prince more favorably than others in order not to offend the emperor, so she sent six copies to Wende Palace.

Empress Yang waved her hand: "If there is no such thing, there will always be that. Besides, the emperor didn't ask the sixth prince a few words just now, and he didn't care at all, he was just finding fault."

Queen Yang, who was not the only one who was unlucky, was in a good mood, saying that she packed up and went to the show as usual.

Sitting in the inner room, Daiyu felt a little apprehensive.

As the daughter of a foreign minister, she accidentally watched the process of the emperor being a queen.Fortunately, after Empress Yang came in, her complexion was as usual, and she even praised the half leaf she embroidered.

Then he beckoned Daiyu to come over: "Come on, help me choose which outfit to wear today."

--

In the Changchun Garden, there are dense phoenix tails and phoenix trees everywhere, which is especially cool and quiet in midsummer.

The screen wall of the stage is colorfully pinned with gold, filled with paint and painted, which is very gorgeous.

In the opposite wing room, there are tens of tables of swallow wings, and there are fruit plates, snacks, and tea on it.And next to the queen's table, there were a few more embroidered piers, the queen said: "There are only two girls' homes in total, let's sit with me."

There are three princesses in the emperor, the eldest princess is ten years old, and her biological mother has passed away, so the emperor appointed concubine Wan to take care of her.

Both the second princess and the third princess are still young, and they haven't followed them to the theater today.It's just that the second princess is Concubine Ming's beloved daughter, while the third princess is the daughter of an unfavorable Bai nobleman, so the usual treatment in the palace is naturally different.

The Eldest Princess is gentle and gentle, and she speaks in a gentle manner, without any airs of a princess. Sitting with Daiyu, she even asked a few words about the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, showing a longing look.

Then he said to Daiyu: "The glazed pavilion behind the Changchun Garden is very beautiful, and there is also a pond from the Imperial Garden. It is also a lotus leaf field at this time, and it seems that there are two egrets. It's just that there are often opera rehearsals here." , the concubine didn't call me over."

After hearing this, the queen turned her head and said: "You little girl, if you are impatient to sit here and listen to the opera, you can go to the Liuli Pavilion at the back. Today, the concubines and concubines are all here, and the actors dare not move around."

The eldest princess was startled, and then quickly laughed: "Mother, my daughter also went to play with mother and concubine before. Today, my mother invited Liugong to watch a play, and my daughter followed suit, so naturally she wants to stay."

The play has just started, so naturally she can't go out to play by herself at this time, otherwise Wanbi will also blame her for being ignorant.

The queen is a bit regretful: no matter how pleasant she is to the eldest princess, the eldest princess is a little afraid of her, and always adheres to the attitude of never making mistakes.

It's so boring to make her every good intention feel like she's used all her strength into the cotton.

So I just nodded: "It's fine, anyway, your mother and concubine will take you, you can go anytime." Then he cheered up and said to Daiyu: "Do you want to go and see, Yu'er? There is the queen mother there." The empress’s ingenuity has built a glass-roofed corridor covered with grape vines, which provides shade and cleanliness in summer, unlike other shade trees where bugs may not always fall.”

Daiyu looked at Empress Yang's excited expression, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said so, I just want to see it."

Empress Yang cheered up: "Okay, okay, then you can go now. It's not very hot now, and after a while it will be so boring that people don't want to move."

As soon as Jing Su was about to follow, Empress Yang said: "No need, you are bound to follow her, stroll for a while, even if it is not enough, you have to go back. Simply ask her to take her own people and go shopping by herself."

Jing Su hesitated a little: "Your Majesty, if you bump into someone..."

Empress Yang waved her hand: "Today, the palace has decided to watch a play here, and those who didn't come are just saying that they are not feeling well, who dares to come out and wander around?"

Jing Su nodded with a smile and said, "Since that's the case, the slave will come back after sending Miss Lin out the door."

Although Concubine Ming couldn't hear it, she could see the empress' love and care for Daiyu with her own eyes, so she became more certain of her thoughts: the empress wanted to win over a good daughter-in-law for herself.

These days, she also asked her mother's family to inquire about many things about the Lin family, and she knew a lot about this Miss Lin.

The Lin family came from a noble family, but they had few children, and this Miss Lin was the last bit of blood. Now she has no father or mother, and she temporarily lives in her grandfather's house.

Without the natural obedience of the mother's family, the queen made a good idea.

But Concubine Ming also has her own plans, and she is not going to destroy the queen's plan, and even wants to add fuel to the flames.

The queen chooses a concubine for Xin Hongcheng who does not have a mother's family. If the emperor agrees, Xin Hongcheng will lose the support of his wife's family on the basis of staying away from his mother's family. It is a good thing.

And if the emperor disagrees, she can also point out this matter, making the emperor feel that the queen has ulterior motives and intervenes in the marriage of the first prince for her own benefit.

No matter how you calculate it, Concubine Ming and her son are not at a loss.

--

Jingsu sent Daiyu to the gate of Changchun Garden, Daiyu smiled: "Don't worry, aunt, I'll be back in a while."

Jing Su also had a gentle smile: "The servant girl understands that the girl may not necessarily want to go shopping, but the empress wants to ask the girl to go shopping, so she just pushed the boat along."

Sometimes Empress Yang, like a child, can't wait to share her ideas with others, and hopes that people will agree.

Zhou Xuanwei followed Daiyu, looking at a glazed corridor with many vines climbing, and couldn't help but think of an outdoor corridor with lilacs hanging in every high school.

Daiyu looked at the pavilion at the end of the corridor, covered by pear-blossom doors carved with a hundred birds, and the windows were covered with light blue Xiaying gauze. It was refreshing to look at: "Let's go and sit for a while and then go back."

Unexpectedly, the two of them were only halfway there when they heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and they couldn't help being stunned.Zhou Huangwei blocked Daiyu from behind and asked, "Who's there?"

After a while, a seven or eight-year-old boy emerged from the flowers and trees beside the corridor.

He was wearing a dusty prince's uniform, and the cuffs were torn.There is also a piece of gray on the right cheek, whether it is a bruise or a stain, and she looks at Daiyu and Zhou Huangwei in a daze.

The two looked at each other, and they didn't expect to see the sixth prince who had only heard about it this morning.

He is thin and small, but his eyes are extraordinarily large, with a kind of innocence that can only be found in young children.

Before Daiyu and Zhou Huangwei could react, they saw the sixth prince running over, raised his face and said: "I'm hungry." As if afraid that the two of them would not believe it, he pointed to his stomach: "Here, here it hurts. I'm hungry."

Daiyu was startled, bent over and said, "Your Highness Sixth, didn't you have breakfast?"

The sixth prince stared blankly at her, and repeated after a while: "I'm hungry."

Daiyu was in a dilemma, who would bring food with her when she went out, so she turned to Zhou Huangwei without much hope: "Sister Ming, do you have any snacks on you?"

Zhou Xuanwei: I really do.

Empress Yang remembered that the dog sent by Xin Hongcheng knocked over all the lychee plates in Daiyu's room, so she sent another plate of lychees to Daiyu yesterday.

Zhou Xuanwei knew that in this day and age, lychee is a rare item and cannot be wasted.But lychees are hot, so she can't eat too much at a time, so today she conveniently packed four or five in her purse, and prepared to peel them quietly for Daiyu to eat intermittently.

At this moment, I took it out and peeled one for the sixth prince.

However, the sixth prince swallowed his saliva, but he didn't take it immediately, he just said: "Hide, hide and eat." Then he stretched out his hand to pull Daiyu.

Daiyu was caught off guard, and was led by him all the way to the pavilion.

The sixth prince took the lychee and swallowed it into his mouth. After a while, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's so sweet. What is this?"

Daiyu couldn't help feeling sad.

After hearing the old affairs of the palace this morning, she could also guess that the life of the sixth prince should be difficult.But I didn't expect that the dignified prince couldn't even eat enough, and he had never even seen a lychee.

Zhou Xuanwei peeled off two more for him.

Then, while the sixth prince was savoring it carefully, he whispered to Daiyu: "Girl, let's go back quickly. Empress Empress... probably won't like you getting close to the sixth prince."

People are not sages, the empress had a big fall with the sixth prince's biological mother, and she still can't get up, and of course she doesn't like the sixth prince.

Daiyu nodded.

She lowered her head to look into the black grape-like eyes of the sixth prince, and said softly: "Your Highness, can you hide here and stay still? I'll get you some snacks."

The sixth prince thought for a while before his eyes lit up: "Snacks, okay, okay, sister go get me some snacks."

Daiyu continued to speak softly: "But His Highness Six promises me not to tell others, who gave you the snack, okay?"

This time, His Highness Six reacted much faster, and he nodded fearfully: "There are also mothers who scold you, right? It was like this before, the sister who gave me snacks was scolded. From now on, she will never bring me snacks again." Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

He spoke this series of words very smoothly, apparently after thinking about it many times in his heart, he was finally able to say it.

Daiyu became more and more sad, and couldn't help reaching out to touch his frizzy hair: "Yes, so we have to be quiet."

She had just finished speaking when she suddenly heard a shrill female voice outside: "Your Highness Six, Your Highness Six, are you here?"

Another female voice was even more annoyed: "What are you calling, let's look for it quietly! Today the Empress is taking the six concubines to the theater, if you make a noise about the ladies, we will die!"

"Oh, what my sister said is that I am confused. You said such a fool, where can you go?"

"Let's look for it, Xiao Guizi said, seeing His Highness the Sixth Highness running around here, since there is no one on the palace road, he probably walked into the Liuli Pavilion."

"It's so embarrassing. Why do we have to wait for such a master? Today, the female officer Zou who is next to the empress suddenly came to check for some medicine, which caused us to eat melons and fined the monthly payment! The other nuns followed the prince. It's the glory and wealth that can't be enjoyed endlessly, but we, serving a fool will be in trouble!"

"If we have the time to complain, let's look for it quickly! If you really run into the theater and disturb the empress, it's not a monthly punishment, I'm afraid you will be punished!"

The voices of the two were getting closer.

Zhou Xuanwei couldn't help but said: "It's really an evil slave who deceives the master!"

Daiyu also made them bite a fool every time, which made them very annoyed.

The sixth prince suddenly pushed the two of them: "Don't come out, or the mother will scold you."

He was confused, and felt that Daiyu and Zhou Weiwei, like the little court ladies who pitied him and secretly gave him snacks, would definitely be scolded and beaten if they were found out by the nanny.

Then they would never talk to him again.

He didn't want to.

It has been a long, long time since no one bowed his head and spoke to him tenderly, and gave him something to eat.

The sixth prince ran out of the pavilion in a few steps: "I'm here."

The two nuns clapped their hands: "Oh, Your Highness, how many times have I told you not to run around. Come here quickly!"

Daiyu and Zhou Huangwei watched the sixth prince come to the two nuns with his head drooping behind Xia Yingsha.

Probably because they didn't expect that there were still people here in Liuli Pavilion, so the two nuns pulled the sixth prince without any shyness, showing no respect for the prince, and slapped him on the back a few times: "Look at this dirty body."

"Your Highness Sixth, you have to know that you are not those elder brothers who can't wear all the clothes of the four seasons in a day. You are really a debt collector!"

The other nun asked with a straight face: "Your Highness Sixth, you are not allowed to run around in the future!"

The sixth prince said vaguely: "I'm hungry, I didn't have breakfast, I came out when I was hungry."

One of the nanny's faces was full of disgust, and it was all because of this fool, who had been punished by the empress for three months, and now they still have the face to cry hungry.

She suddenly picked up a clod of soil from the ground and handed it to the mouth of the sixth prince: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince is hungry, so eat it quickly. This is a snack specially brought for you by this servant."

The sixth prince has been fed by the nuns since he was a child. He really didn't know that soil was inedible. In the past, the nuns would pick up things that fell on the ground and feed him, so he subconsciously opened his mouth.

He even chewed it a couple of times after taking one bite, then spat it out crying.

The mother smiled and said, "Why doesn't His Highness Six eat it, eat it quickly, this will be His Highness Six's meal from now on."

Daiyu was startled at first, and then felt the piercing anger and nausea rising from the bottom of her heart.

She's about to open the door and go out.

Whether helping the sixth prince will offend the queen is out of her consideration at this moment.

--

"It really opened my eyes. There are such dog slaves who bully the master in the palace."

Daiyu put her hand on the door.

She recognized the voice.

This morning, she also heard this voice relieve the queen once.

Xin Hongcheng's face seemed to be covered with ice.

After the emperor broke out about the sixth prince this morning, Xin Hongcheng took an hour's leave from the study.

Speaking of which, he has never taken special care of this sixth brother in the past few years.After all, the time before and after school every day, for the sixth prince, is a rest time, and the two of them are completely staggered.

He often didn't see this sixth brother for several months.At most, the Sixth Prince would only appear on New Year's Day when the Supreme Empress Dowager wanted to see her grandchildren complete.

But because of his mental insufficiency, everyone will automatically ignore him.

Today, after the concubine Ming concubine made troubles about the sixth prince, Xin Hongcheng knew that he had to go and see this younger brother.

People who are ignored by everyone can live a good life, but after today, the sixth prince has become a tool for the two concubines to attack the queen, so they may not be able to live in peace as before.

So Xin Hongcheng wanted to go and see him, at least beat the servants around him.

Unexpectedly, he ran into nothing in the bedroom of the sixth prince of Wende Palace.

The little eunuch next to the sixth prince quickly told him obsequiously that the sixth prince likes to run to Liuli Pavilion recently.

Xin Hongcheng looked at the scorching sun, a little hesitant whether he should look for the sixth prince, or talk about it later.

But now, Xin Hongcheng, who witnessed how the nuns treated the sixth prince, was very glad that he hadn't been lazy just now, otherwise the sixth brother would have been tortured to death in a few days!

The two nuns fell to their knees, trembling: "Fourth, Your Highness, the slaves deserve to die, the slaves deserve to die! Please forgive me, Fourth Highness."

Then, not daring to spare any effort, he knocked his head loudly.

Xin Hongcheng ignored them, walked up to the sixth prince, looked at the child who was still hitting the ground with a "peh peh" and spat out the dirt in his mouth, and asked, "Do you know me? I'm your fourth brother."

The sixth prince raised his head blankly, looked at him twice, then shook his head.

He ignored Xin Hongcheng, but squatted down, carefully picked up a black fruit core from the clod he had just spit out, and hid it in his hand.

Xin Hongcheng saw at a glance that it was a lychee core.

litchi?Who in the palace would give the sixth prince to eat lychees?
