The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Yang Qi'er is used to doing things in his own way, and dared to pull his father's ears in front of all the ministers. In this Bixi Palace full of powder smell, naturally he completely ignored the other concubines, and only focused on Xu's go on.

He will be one year old soon, and the Ministry of Rites has already prepared his first birthday ceremony and crown prince canonization ceremony, but he himself has no idea about these, nor does he understand them.

At the age of one year, he can walk now, but he can't walk steadily, he can speak some simple words, and he can recognize people.

Mrs. Xu often came to see him in the palace, and children are the most sensitive. How could he not feel Mrs. Xu's love and affection for him, so she was very close to Mrs. Xu.

It is impossible for the Xu family to visit the second prince in the palace so often without arousing speculation from the courtiers and everyone in the harem, but no one can guess that the second prince was born by Ji Heng. At most, they think that the second prince's biological mother has some kind of relationship with the Ji family , but this kind of relationship cannot be guessed or inquired about.

Yang Qi'er was fussing in the emperor's arms, wanting to go to Xu's side by herself, and directly ignored everyone, just calling Xu to "mumble".

Mumu means "grandma" in Yangzhou dialect, and Yang Qi'er will be able to pronounce this pronunciation when she is ninety months old.

Now that Yang Qi'er has grown up, she already has a lot of strength, making a fuss on the emperor. Although the emperor can hug him, there is nothing he can do about it.

She had no choice but to hold Yang Qi'er and walked up to Mrs. Xu, who hadn't seen her grandson for nearly a month, unexpectedly, Yang Qi'er still remembered her, so she was very moved, and quickly reached out to take Yang Qi'er from the emperor's hand.

Yang Qi'er lay in her arms, put her small hands on her shoulders, smeared her whole face on Xu's face, smeared a mouthful of saliva on Xu's face, and called her softly , "mumble".

A small face is about to smile into a flower.

Xu's whole heart was about to melt into water. She loved her so much that she held it in her mouth for fear of melting, and held it in her hands for fear of falling.

The emperor let everyone take their seats, and he himself sat on the top seat.

Now that he has no queen, he should be sitting next to the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, but the emperor didn't say anything, so no one dared to sit there.

The emperor said something that a patriarch should say, and said, "Today happens to be the Lantern Festival, a rare festive season, and there are few people in the palace, so it's deserted and lonely. Today there are ladies coming to the palace, so it happens to be more lively."

Concubine Shao got up and said, "The emperor is considerate of the courtiers and concubines, so that they can spend this festive season with their families, so all the sisters also thought of some ideas, and put up some programs to make it more lively."

The emperor seemed to express some interest, so he raised his hand and went to the show.

So Concubine Shao motioned for the dancer to appear on the stage, and said to the emperor, "This is a dance choreographed by my concubine and all the sisters, to make the emperor smile."

These concubines in the harem are all ladies, even if some people can dance, they will not dance in front of people other than the emperor, so all the dancers are dancers, but the one who plays the piano is Zhaoyi, It was Xu Guiren who played the flute.

Xu Guiren couldn't speak when he opened his mouth, but he didn't expect to play the tune very well.

Concubine Shao didn't show weakness either, so she sat down and played the pipa.

The music is beautiful, the dancers dance gracefully, and Bixi Temple looks like a fairy palace for a while.

Because Concubine Xian is the head of the concubines in the palace, she naturally sits in the closest position to the emperor. This time the seat arrangement is also to arrange the concubine's family with the concubine, so Xu sat next to Concubine Xian , in this kind of occasion that must be ordered to attend, the concubine Xian's biological mother is only the aunt, so naturally she can't come, and there are some grievances between the concubine Xian and the Xu family, so the concubine Xian is not as good as she looks. happy.

Besides, Mrs. Xu is holding His Highness the Second Prince in her arms. The Second Prince is very close to Mrs. Xu, murmuring something in her arms, watching him open a pair of big black eyes. Laughing, frowning again for a while, the muttered words, it is judged to express the meaning of miss Xu.

Mrs. Xu was not in the mood to watch the dance, but just teased her grandson in a low voice.

The two talked like chicken and duck, Xu smiled and lowered his head to His Highness the Second Prince's forehead, and asked softly, "Your Highness still remembers murmuring, have you been obedient in front of the Emperor recently, um, are you good-looking... "

His Royal Highness the Second Prince obviously didn't listen to what she said, he just laughed and muttered indistinctly.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince laughed for a while, then turned his head to watch the dance in the arena. He stared straight at the dance with an attitude of admiration. Mrs. Xu hugged him and put it on his little ears. Kissed and asked, "My sweetheart also thinks it looks good."

His Royal Highness the Second Prince laughed so much after being kissed by her, and wanted to go down to the ground again, but Mrs. Xu didn't dare to let him go down to the ground, and Concubine Xian didn't pay much attention to the dance in the scene, she kept looking at Yang Qi'er tenderly with a smile on her face.

A few years ago, the Ji family suffered from Japanese pirates. The emperor allowed Concubine Xian to meet the family members. Mr. Ji Xu and the fourth concubine all came into the palace. Xu just sat in the Duanyang Palace for a while, then resigned See grandson in the hall.

Master Ji talked to Concubine Xian for a while, because seeing Concubine Xian was thin and haggard, although he himself was not in good spirits, he turned around to comfort Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian also comforted Master Ji, "Things have happened. Now, it doesn't help to be sad now. The emperor said that he would definitely rescue the kidnapped clansman, and it must be possible. Besides, Brother Heng is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he won't let the clansman be snatched away in vain."

Hearing Concubine Xian's words, Mrs. Ji thought to herself that she was just a woman after all, with short-sightedness. It was precisely because Ji Heng was in the south of the Yangtze River that it was more difficult to save the clansmen. If the clansmen were not rescued, Ji Heng would be punished. The grievances in the clan, if it was saved with great efforts, wouldn't someone charge Ji Heng with the crime of using public equipment for private use.Besides, in Mr. Ji's heart, most of the people who were robbed were women. Women were robbed by Japanese pirates. If they were not spoiled, even if they were rescued, they would have no face to live on in the future.

So Mr. Ji and the patriarch of the Ji clan have the same idea, just save the boy, and nothing else.

Master Ji said to Concubine Xian, "Your brother is in the south of the Yangtze River, and things are difficult. If you are in the palace, if you have the opportunity, it would be good to get closer to His Highness the Prince."

Concubine Xian sighed and said, "Father, where do you come from? The emperor personally educates His Highness the second prince, and no other concubines are allowed to approach him. Except for his mother who often comes to see His Highness, no one else is allowed to go I'm approaching His Highness. Besides, Father, you have also seen that it's not that my daughter doesn't go close to His Highness, but my mother never thought of taking her daughter with her when she went to His Highness's place."

It's hard for Mr. Ji to say anything like this, he just sighed.

Mrs. Xu thought that Lord Ji would definitely beat Fourth Concubine, so that Fourth Concubine would not tell Concubine Xian what happened to His Royal Highness Ji Heng, so she did not beat Fourth Concubine herself, but Master Ji did not think of this , or he thinks it's all right for Concubine Xian to know.

After all, Concubine Xian is the aunt of His Highness the Second Prince. His Highness is in the palace. He is still young and loved by the Emperor. Sometimes he even discusses matters with the courtiers. His Highness the Second Prince cannot do without him. The courtier spoke, the favor can be imagined.

But Master Ji felt that Ji Heng was unwilling to enter the harem as a woman, and now that he was far away in the southeast, the emperor's feelings for Ji Heng gradually faded, and he favored other concubines. At that time, the emperor would have other heirs. Besides, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is still young. When he really grows up, the child becomes naughty, and the emperor will probably get tired of taking him with him. At that time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is here How can it be good if there is no individual care in the harem.

So Mr. Ji still thinks that Concubine Xian can take care of His Highness the Second Prince, even if Fourth Aunt tells Concubine Xian about His Highness the Second Prince's life experience, he thinks it is all right.

Lord Ji left before Si Yiniang, only Si Yiniang was left, Concubine Xian took Si Yiniang's hand and led her into the inner bedroom.

Sitting down on the couch, Fourth Aunt said, "It's Auntie who is incompetent. It's been more than a year and I haven't been able to come to the palace to see you again. You have suffered in the palace."

Concubine Xian's eyes were also a little red, and she said, "Mother, what are you talking about. It's because my daughter is incompetent."

The two talked to each other heartfeltly, Fourth Aunt felt sorry for her daughter's weight loss, Concubine Xian felt that her biological mother had aged a lot over the past year, and her heart ached unbearably. When the prince entered the palace, people inside and outside the palace were inquiring about his biological mother, but so far there has been no result. The emperor does not allow others to get close to the second prince, but why did he allow his wife to enter the palace to see His Highness? The daughter also asked someone to tell her From my father, I thought my father knew something, but my father didn't answer. Since he didn't answer, but he didn't say he didn't know, it can be seen that his father knew. Who is the second prince's biological mother, mother, you know."

Fourth Aunt has kept this secret in her heart, and she has been pondering over the mysteries of it for the past year, but she has not figured it out so far, instead she feels that Ji Heng is evil.

She looked towards the door, and Concubine Xian said, "Mother, don't worry, no one dares to eavesdrop."

Fourth Aunt then whispered to Concubine Xian, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince was born to Brother Heng."

After hearing this, Concubine Xian didn't react at all, she was stunned for a while before she opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "Huh?"

Si Yiniang knew that no one would be able to accept this fact, so she had no choice but to explain again, "It was indeed born by Brother Heng. Last year, Brother Heng was recuperating from illness for eight or nine months, and he went to give birth to a fetus."

Concubine Xian laughed, "Mother, Brother Heng is a man." Obviously she didn't believe it.

The fourth aunt said, "When Brother Heng was born, my wife took him back to Yangzhou. The master said that Brother Heng is a son! Brother Heng came back to the capital from Yangzhou when he was seven or eight years old, and the master said he was Son. At that time, some people in the clan felt that the master would not have a son and wanted to send a boy from the clan to your master as his heir, so the master asked his wife to bring Brother Heng to Beijing."

Concubine Xian frowned, apparently she had figured it out, and said in surprise, "Brother Heng, has she always been disguised as a man?"

The fourth aunt shook her head, and said, "I don't think Brother Heng is like a woman. My wife gave birth to Brother Heng, and the master was very angry. An old man in the house remembered that the master and his wife quarreled in the room, and the master was very loud. , It seems that the word monster has been mentioned. Later, my wife went to Yangzhou, and the mother-in-law and maid who gave birth to my wife, except for the few closest cronies of my wife, no one has heard from them.”

Concubine Xian was shocked, "Monster?"

This is also the final result that Fourth Aunt has conjectured over the past year.

Concubine Xian stared at Yang Qier, and found that Yang Qier's eyes were indeed very similar to Ji Heng, she thought in her heart, "A child born from a monster."

She went to see the emperor again, wondering how the emperor was deceived by Ji Heng to accept a man who could have children.

But even if Ji Heng is a monster, she is also her younger brother, she knows the secret, and she has no intention of revealing it.
