Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

The three-day holiday is so pleasant.

Ming Tan and Lin Shurong made an agreement that Xiu Mu would go to the Lin Mansion as a guest the next day, so he had a good sleep today, and didn't get up for lunch until the sun was high.

She studied hard during this time, and really worked hard, so the empress was quite tolerant of Ming Tan, not only did not blame the latter for his disordered work and rest, but also agreed to her daughter's request to hang out outside Kunning Palace in the afternoon.

"Just a little bit, I have to ask Mallow to follow," the queen stood beside the palace door, and said softly, "Remember to come back before dinner."

"Yeah, I would like to obey my mother's edict!" Ming Tan smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, waved at her, turned around and ran outside.

Some time ago, the sky was dark and the sky was dark, and the scene in the palace changed unknowingly. Most of the flowers in the imperial garden withered, but the trees became more and more lush.

The sky is bright and the air is clear, the Huifeng blows past, the thick green branches and leaves and the sound of running water not far away make a rustling sound in my ears.

Ming Tan stepped on a stone step, bathed in the sun, and his whole body was sunburned lazily, "Mallow, why is there always no one in this imperial garden?"

She couldn't stay in the Kunning Palace, but she didn't know where to go when she came out, so she could only come to the Royal Garden to wander around. But I couldn't even see a person, so I could only return disappointed.

"My maidservant once heard the old mothers say..."

Mallow thought for a while, and said: "When the first emperor was still alive, he used to dote on the imperial concubine Shu. The imperial concubine Shuhuang is an elegant person, and she is used to enjoying the scenery in the imperial garden. She often stays here to deal with those who conflict with her. His concubines... Over time, the empresses of all the palaces have avoided the edge, preferring to detour rather than easily stepping into the imperial garden."

Emperor Shu's noble concubine, Shen, was the most favored concubine during the late emperor's period.

The former empress died young, and passed away shortly after giving birth to Mingyi. In the Six Palaces, only the imperial concubine Shu was left alone, with power in her hands.If the ministers in the court hadn't strongly opposed it, thinking that the latter had never had an heir, otherwise, based on the late emperor's love for the Shen family, he would have issued a decree long ago to make her his successor.

Back then, Ming Yi suffered a lot from Shen's hands in order to keep the crown prince.Therefore, after he became the emperor, the first thing he did was to send Mrs. Shen to the imperial mausoleum to be repaired, and let her accompany the late emperor's coffin.

Besides, as far as Ming Tan knows, there is one more thing worth mentioning...

The royal concubine Shu Huang was favored back then, and her natal family also prospered. For example, Shen's younger brother was proclaimed the Duke of Cheng by the former emperor.

Cheng Guogong is much smarter than his sister. He stood in line in time and contributed a lot to Ming Yi's ascension to the throne, so he did not end up in the same bleak end as Shen's, but enjoyed a happy life in Beijing. All the glory and wealth.

Moreover, he also has a daughter who is a concubine in the palace - she is the current Concubine Wan, Shen Ruofu.

But these are old things.

"I really didn't expect that the Imperial Garden looks so bright, but there is such a story behind it," Ming Tan said with emotion, "It's so unlucky, no wonder it's usually deserted."

Mallow smiled, but did not answer in a measured manner.

After Ming Tan learned that the imperial concubine Shu was coming, he also felt very unappetizing, so he lost the interest to continue shopping on the spot, and prepared to go back home.

She and Mallow returned the way they came, turned a few turns, and when they were about to reach the South Bridge, they suddenly heard a strange woman's voice coming from ahead.

"...It's just a little nobleman who dares to compete with me? I really don't know what to do!"

——My lord?

Ming Tan was taken aback for a moment, blinked his eyes, and subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Could it be Mrs. Zhaozhao's mother and concubine Mrs. Ying?

She frowned, and was about to speed up her pace, when she heard the other person say timidly: "I didn't mean to beg for this flower with my empress, please calm down my concubine..."

Mallow listened carefully, and said to Mingtan: "Your Highness, the two people in front should be Empress Song Guifei and Empress Jing Guiren."

Ming Tan quickly went through these two names in his mind.

... It seems that I have no impression.

Fortunately, Mallow also seemed to know that she was not familiar with these two, and immediately explained: "Concubine Song Gui is the biological mother of His Highness the Sixth Prince, and Mrs. Jing is the biological mother of His Highness the Seventh Princess."

Hearing that she introduced the sixth prince and the seventh princess, Ming Tan could be worthy of the name.

The sixth prince, Ming Ye, was the youngest prince in the palace, born only a few months earlier than Ming Tan; while the seventh princess, Ming Ye, was only nine years old, and had always been known for reclusive life... Thinking about it carefully, counting from the beginning However, Ming Tan and her have never even met each other.

It's really strange.

Now that he knew that it had nothing to do with Ming Zhao's mother and concubine, Ming Tan also felt relieved and stopped worrying.

She lowered her voice and greeted Mallow excitedly: "Be quiet, let's take a closer look!"

Mallow was a little helpless, and was about to be persuaded, but Ming Tan had already lowered his waist and rushed over.

Jokes, the liveliness of the heart and soul is right in front of you, so why not join in?

The closer the distance, the more clearly the sound is heard.Ming Tan hid behind a big tree, poked his head out quietly, happened to have a full view of the three women standing on the South Bridge.

One of them was full of arrogance, dressed in jewels, followed by a young girl who looked like a court lady, presumably that was the arrogant concubine Song Gui.

"Hmph! There is only one peony in bloom, so I should bring it back to the palace to appreciate. Why should I give it to you?"

"Your concubine and empress, the seventh princess has been waiting for the flowers to bloom, and she has not thought about tea and food for half a month. She just wants to see if it is the same as the picture in the book... Besides, the concubine was the first to pick the peony. How can you take love away with a knife?"

"Why, do you think that if the seventh princess is brought out to talk about the matter, this palace will be afraid?" Song Guipin sneered, raised her head, and stared at the other party condescendingly, "It's true that you picked the flowers first, but you can see it It was Ben Gong who saw it at first sight, how can you argue against it?"

Opposite her, the noble man in plain clothes suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief, and he blurted out: "How can your empress be so unreasonable?"

"Oh? You said that Bengong's words are unreasonable?"

Concubine Song's eyes lit up, as if she had finally caught her handle, her tone was quick and decisive, "It seems that Mrs. Jing has been behind closed doors all day, because she has even forgotten the rules of the palace, how dare she treat the high-ranking man The concubine is disrespectful! She should be punished!"

"But ma'am, you..."

"Don't kneel down for me!" Guibi Song yelled sharply, "Otherwise, do I have to go to report to Concubine Ning and ask her to come and punish you for being a wicked woman!"

Jing Guiren trembled all over, biting his lower lip, as if intimidated by the word "Concubine Ning", when he closed his eyes and was about to kneel down——

"Huh? This is the first time this princess has heard that this violation of the palace rules is not reported to the Kunning Palace or the Shang Palace Bureau, but is it going to be handed over to Concubine Ning for conviction?"

Song Guibi was startled, and suddenly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Ming Tan standing not far away, with his hands behind his back, looking at them with a smile, his legs seemed to go limp.

"Nine...His Highness Princess Nine...?"
