Vicissitudes know Jinhua

Qi Wushang secretly rejoiced that he was bored today, and wanted to take a look at this little devil while he was hunting in the city, otherwise, if he was taken away, Chen Jing might be turned upside down, and no living Mu Zishi would be found again. .

Muzishi was in a soft ball in his arms, like a thin and well-behaved kitten, tired of crying, but forced himself to keep his eyes open, looking around uneasy, ready to jump into the kitten with vigilance at any time. No chest injury.

Qi Wushang rode his horse and galloped for the meal time, guessing that those people would not be able to catch up even if they dared to chase him, so he dismounted beside a small stream, Mu Zishi hung on his neck and did not let go.

Qi Wushang was really afraid that his neck would be broken, he had never suffered such a strange crime when he was a child, he smiled wryly: "With the strength of your two arms, it is more than enough to be a crossbowman."

Mu Zishi didn't understand what he meant, and looked up at him with a confused expression.

Seeing his swollen face, Qi Wushang was very pitiful, and patted his head: "Okay, they don't dare to come and catch you, let go."

Mu Zishi hesitated, but he refused to obey.

Prince Fengjing has a big temper, he can be soft and hard when he can't say a few words: "Otherwise I will throw you down, and your butt will fall, and you won't be able to sew any seams."

Mu Zishi immediately let go, but choked and said, "He... Where is Qi Yupei? Why didn't he come?"

Qi Wushang was taken aback for a moment, thinking how could the fourth child have the leisure to come here in person?

Qi Yupei is only 11 years old, and has been the crown prince for [-] years. Every day, the three masters teach the three young masters, and he has been favored by the emperor since he was a child. Qi Jin directed it himself when he had a little spare time, and even reviewed the memorials in the Zhiping Palace. During government affairs, he was often called to listen to political assistants.

That day when he returned to the palace from the outskirts of the city, Qi Yupei ordered the officials of the East Palace to thoroughly investigate Mu Zishi's details. If there were no hidden dangers, he would send someone to pick him up ten days later, but he never had time to visit him again.

Seeing that Qi Wushang hadn't spoken for a long time, Mu Zishi was heartbroken, "Has he forgotten me? Or doesn't he want me anymore?"

Qi Wushang smiled and said: "He is the prince, he is very busy, I am here to pick you up for him, okay?"

Mu Zishi sized him up for a moment, thought for a while, and neither said yes nor bad, but held his cheek and said, "It hurts..."

Qi Wushang pulled him to sit down by the stream, and said: "Your mouth is broken, of course it hurts."

As he spoke, he picked up water to wash his face, took out the water bag, and said, "Rinse your mouth, and the smell of blood will disappear."

Mu Zishi took a big sip of water as he said, gurgled and rinsed, but spat out a small tooth.

Qi Wushang was startled: "Hey, have all the teeth been knocked out? I should have smashed out all their teeth just now!"

When Mu Zishi saw it, he couldn't help crying.

Qi Wushang was already afraid of his tears, so he hurriedly comforted him: "It doesn't matter, anyway, you are still young, you still have to change your teeth."

Mu Zishi cried loudly: "The one that fell out is the one that just grew!"

Qi Wushang only felt a headache, he clutched his forehead and said reluctantly: "It will grow...Really, you believe me."

Believe it or not, Mu Zishi would feel the pain, so he just rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and cried with all his might.

Qi Wushang saw that the palm of his hand was scratched at some time, and saw a small piece of white thatch growing not far away, so he had an idea, went over and dug out a few by the roots, and said, "Little rascal, if you don't cry, I will teach you how to do it." A good way to heal wounds."

After all, Mu Zishi was a child, he was distracted when he heard the words, but couldn't help being curious, so he naturally stopped crying.

Qi Wushang took a deep breath and said, "Look, this kind of grass is called Imperata praecox. Don't look down on it, but its roots can stop bleeding and detoxify."

As he spoke, he cut off the long roots of Imperata cuspidatum with a short knife, washed them in the stream, chewed them until they were crushed, and applied them to the wound on Muzishi's palm. The movements were extremely skillful: "Imperata cuspidatum exists in many places in Liangzhou. Lived the lives of many soldiers."

Mu Zishi heard that his voice was a little low at the moment, which was very attractive, and asked for a while, "What about you? Have you ever used Imperata coronata root to treat injuries?"

Qi Wushang smiled and said, "Guess?"

Although this Mu Zishi is much younger than him, he has a cleverness and intelligence beyond his age in his speech. As long as he doesn't cry, he can still talk.

Mu Zishi looked at him: "I can't guess, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you take off your clothes, I'll know if there are any injuries."

Qi Wushang was taken aback and laughed loudly: "If there is a scar, must have used the coriander root?"

Mu Zishi had already been exhausted after being overwhelmed with grief and joy for half a day. He smiled, blinked his eyes and thought for a long time before he realized that his face blushed involuntarily: "...Not necessarily."

Qi Wushang patted him on the shoulder: "Does your hand still hurt?"

As the medicinal power of the Imperata root dissipated, Mu Zishi felt cool and comfortable in his palm, and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore." He said and took the remaining Imperatae into his arms: "Thank you... this is Imperata, I remember!"

Qi Wushang asked suddenly: "Why were you greedy for the geese I shot that day?"

Mu Zishi bit his lip, and said in a low voice: "I want to eat... I haven't eaten it, Yao Datou won't give me meat."

Qi Wushang nodded, picked him up and gave a whistling whistle, and Qing Zou, who was grazing in the distance, galloped over. When he stepped on the horse, Qi Wushang said: "Little devil, sleep well, you will see the prince when you wake up."

When Qi Wushang came to Chenjing, he never lived in the royal mansion, but only lived in Zhaoxu Hall, the prince's east palace side hall. His father was King Fengjing who held a heavy army, and Qi Yupei treated him closer than his own brother, so he hugged him in his arms. With a child, he actually entered the East Palace smoothly all the way.

It's just that a few young maids met, and after a little thought and play, the entire Eastern Palace was filled with an aura like blood, air, acid, and heat.

Someone with quick eyes: "His Royal Highness brought a child back!"

There is a quick talker: "Ah, His Royal Highness has a baby?"

Those with diffuse thinking: "Xiaofei, that little goblin in Xiangluan Palace, has only been playing around under the eyes of the prince these days..."

Some are good at associating: "Xiaofei... that child..."

Some are willing to speculate: "Xiao Fei gave birth to a child for His Royal Highness?"

Some beat their chests and stamped their feet: "How could the son fall in love with her?"

There is a final word: "A mother is more valuable than a child, Xiao Fei is going to Liangzhou to be a concubine!"

It's a pity that Qi Wushang didn't hear these private words, otherwise his complexion must be colorful and beautiful.

Qi Wushang is in a daze at the moment, Mu Zishi in his arms is sleeping unconscious and unshakable, continue to hug him, I always feel like a nanny, wake him up, I can't bear it, and I am afraid that he will turn around and cry again How could that tooth be born well, so His Royal Highness was stumped, with a melancholy expression on his face.

Fortunately, there was a court lady named Bi Luo, with bright eyes and careful heart, who happily ran up to salute: "Your Highness is a great hero on the battlefield, so naturally he can't take care of children. How about letting your servants serve the little prince to sleep?"

With this word of nectar from the sky, Qi Wushang felt as if he had received an amnesty, hurriedly stuffed Mu Zishi into Bi Luo's arms, he was excited and happy, but he didn't notice that Bi Luo called Mu Zishi the little prince...

So when it was time to light the lanterns, Qi Yupei, who accompanied the emperor after dinner as usual, returned to the East Palace, and asked Qi Wushang with a smile, "Third brother, don't you want me to see the little prince?"

Although Qi Wushang was careless, the whispers and strange eyes of the court ladies and eunuchs for half a day were enough for him to understand, but it was too late to regret, and he couldn't just grab the collars of the little palace maids to clarify one by one.

At this moment when Qi Yupei asked such a question, Qi Wushang couldn't suppress his grief and indignation, he wailed, propped his head and didn't want to say a word, he just pointed to the bed with the soft brocade curtain hanging down.

Qi Yupei walked over in three steps and two steps, lifted the curtain, was stunned for a moment, turned back to look at Qi Wushang, with a face suddenly enlightened, dignified and solemn, and said: "It turns out that Zishi is actually a little prince... No wonder Mu Encourage him to move him to another courtyard and torture him in every possible way."

Qi Wushang thumped on the table, so angry that his seven orifices smoked: "Fourth brother, you are the one who caused the trouble, why am I the one who is unlucky!"

Qi Yupei laughed enough, and then asked: "Why did you bring him back to the East Palace? It was too hasty. I haven't even mentioned to my mother about changing my companion."

Qi Wushang sighed: "Qing Pinghou really can't tolerate Mu Zishi, if things are in danger, I must save him."

Telling about the evil deeds of the people in the Qingping Hou Mansion today, Qi Yupei just listened quietly without saying a word, not knowing what was going on, and blurted out: "If you don't want him, let me take him back to Yongliang .”

Qi Yupei was slightly angry, but smiled: "Why, the third brother wants to steal someone from me?"

Qi Wushang said: "You know, I only have two older brothers at home, and they are born in a concubine. I look like an enemy. Zishi is small and obedient, so I will treat him as my younger brother, won't he?" good?"

Qi Yupei shook his head: "You are used to staying in the military camp battlefield, Zishi is young and frail, how can he endure the hardships of the frontier beyond the Great Wall?"

Qi Wushang snorted coldly, and said: "Although the wind and frost in Shelu Pass is severe, there are only obstacles and no hidden reefs. The Dajing Palace looks beautiful and prosperous, but it is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. It is not easy for you to protect yourself well..."

Qi Yupei's eyes darkened, and he reluctantly said: "You are over-concerned, my father treats me very favorably, and who can make me unhappy?"

Qi Wushang said in a low voice: "What I am saying now is to my fourth younger brother, not to His Highness the Crown Prince... The military power in the hands of the Tao family is already too heavy, or in other words, too risky."

Qi Yupei was startled, closed his eyes for a while and nodded: "Third brother, you treat me sincerely."

Looking at Qi Wushang's clear and sincere black eyes, he sighed and said, "In recent years, there have been immediate relatives of the Tao family holding important positions in the Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Industry and even the Ministry of Rites."

Qi Wushang asked in surprise: "The Tao family has such a climate?"

Qi Yupei said slowly: "Tao Ruopu is the best among them. It is said that even your father praised him for his use of troops. Since he joined the military department, he has been controlling the military power in the inner and outer cities of Chenjing year by year. Even the defense of the nine gates of the Dajing Palace has fallen half Falling into his hands... You said it was too dangerous, so why didn't your father know about it? But the Tao family has a century-old family, generations of ministers, disciples and old officials all over the world, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, how can it be easily moved?" Qi Wushang listened intently, Said: "Beware of the third son of the emperor, your real third brother."

He is direct by nature and doesn't like to be procrastinating, so every time he speaks, he hits the nail on the head. If there is a succession dispute behind Qi Jin, the only one who can be Qi Yupei's opponent is the third son of the emperor Qi Hefeng.

Qi Hefeng's biological mother was the daughter of Tao's parents, who lived in the imperial concubine's position in the palace. In the first year of Yongxi, the third son of the emperor was born, and the eldest son and the second son of the emperor were all born by maidservants in the palace. , in the court, there is a faint tendency to be the crown prince.

The Tao family rejoiced secretly and became more diligent and cautious in their actions, but Concubine Tao had already packed up and was ready to take over Fengyin and move to Liangyi Palace at any time. Unexpectedly, the imperial edict was delayed, and Tao was only allowed to take the position of concubine. The matter of the six palaces has the reality of a queen, but not the name of a queen.

After two years of being so real and nameless, finally even the real thing is gone.

In the third year of Yongxi's reign, the Luo family entered the palace, and the wedding sedan chair entered through the Danfeng Gate and was carried straight into the Liangyi Palace. They were registered as the empress, and the wedding ceremony was held. Qi Jin was ecstatic, and within a hundred days, he personally held a grand banquet at the Chongxuanmen to celebrate. Before he was one year old, he was officially canonized as the crown prince in the Xuande Hall.

The six important ministers still weighed the three and four in their hearts: Although the fourth is the first son, the identity of the third is also considered precious, not to mention that the Tao family has generations of hairpin tassels, but the queen's family is just a poor family. Although the background of the hall, the third child is more than a step ahead of the fourth...

In the end, before they could figure it out properly, His Majesty the Emperor came here, and everyone felt lost, but they were all well-informed and interesting. Over the years, there were very few people who jumped out to talk about it.

There are no more than three reasons. One is that Qi Jin is only in his thirties, and it is estimated that he is still a while away from death. Even if there is a crown prince, he is only a prince, and he may not succeed tomorrow. Yiji insisted, putting on a posture that if you don't let me be a prince in peace, you don't want to live in peace and stability. Third, Qi Yupei is getting older, and his scheming and courage are indeed far above the other princes.

Therefore, Qi Yupei's crown prince seems to outsiders to be as stable as a rock, but people of insight, including Qi Jin and himself, know that Yun is in danger and there are many hidden dangers.

At this moment Qi Wushang pointed it out, Qi Yupei felt relieved for a while, glanced at Mu Zishi who was sleeping on the bed with flushed cheeks, and said with a smile: "Since the third brother loves me, don't take Mu Zishi away from this place. Let him stay and help me."

Feeling lost, Qi Wushang asked softly: "Have you found out his details?"
