The World of Peace in the Red Mansion

Princess Mingxuan's expression was a little hesitant, she was still considering whether to speak, but the Empress Dowager said: "Come here, you must talk about something!"

After hearing the question, Princess Mingxuan didn't dare to hide anything, so she had to report today's events in a cryptic manner, mentioning the death of Yuma Si's servant Cheng Xiao, and the Empress Dowager's expression turned cold.

With a "crack", the porcelain was smashed to pieces, and the princess hurriedly said, "Queen mother, calm down."

"Calm down, some people's hands are stretched too long. It's really dead for Aijia. Go, mother Liu, tell the Punishment Department to go and call all the people, but Aijia wants to Let's see if everyone is dead." The Empress Dowager is naturally not ignorant, she has already got the news about Daiyu's today, so it's nothing serious.Originally, I thought it would be fine for Wanrong to come forward, but I didn't want those people to be so courageous and kill them directly.In this case, she wants to see who is hiding behind.

Grandma Liu took the order and left, the Empress Dowager looked at Cheng Xiao coldly, "This is your wife's business, you are very calm."

Cheng Xiao said calmly: "With my aunt and grandmother here, why should I worry about my nephew." Having said that, before coming here, he had already secretly sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, so maybe there should be news.It's just that although he is in the capital, he has heard a thing or two about the affairs of the palace, which may add trouble to Yu'er. Some things don't need to be brought out in the open.

But who is the Empress Dowager? Cheng Xiao made her see the big one from a young age, how can she not understand.Therefore, he just glanced at him with a half-smile and smiled at Princess Xuan, "Look, this is the one who grew up under the care of the Ai family. It can be seen that the pain for so many years has been in vain."

Princess Xuan hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Xiao'er is filial, but whenever the mother talked about it, she didn't find it immediately. The mother did it on purpose to make the children envious."

"Okay, I know you love him and help him, so I don't care about Aijia. This matter will be investigated by Aijia. If you have nothing to do, just go back!" The Empress Dowager said lightly.

Concubine Xuan didn't understand what it meant, she gestured to Cheng Xiao with her eyes, but she didn't want Cheng Xiao to just salute and leave calmly.

It wasn't until the concubine outside the courtyard said: "What's the matter? I don't seem to be in a good mood when I look at my mother."

"Something happened in Beijing, I'm afraid that mother and concubine will have to spend more time with my aunt these days." Cheng Xiao didn't want to talk more, but simply mentioned a few words.

Princess Xuan immediately thought of Cheng Xiao's injury, and then thought of the situation in Beijing in the past two years. I don't know if it's a big deal, but Cheng Xiao doesn't want to talk about it, and it's hard for her to ask.

In fact, the tense situation in Beijing and China can be felt by anyone with a little bit of political sensitivity. How can there be no trouble between the Taishang Emperor and the young and energetic Jinshang, especially when the Taishang Emperor is supporting the loyal prince and fighting against Jinshang? It made the rift between the father and son of the Tian Family even bigger.Now in the palace, Ssangyong is not easy to see each other.The treasures that were continuously sent to the upper palace replaced the last filial piety.

The empress dowager chose to leave Beijing during this sensitive period, it was a helpless move, she did not want to make things difficult for her grandson and son.She naturally puts more emphasis on sons, but the relationship between father and son in the Tian family is not so simple.For the sake of the consolidation of the country, she did not want the emperor to abolish the emperor, nor did she agree.

But what can I say? The emperor who no longer needs the opinion of his mother, the empress dowager does not want to see the scene of father and son fighting each other. The empress dowager who has not left the palace for many years left the palace, but she also made a choice to hand over the power of the palace to the emperor. In the hands of the queen, it also indicates that she has stood behind the emperor in this power struggle without gunpowder.

This is probably the reason why the emperor's behavior became more and more outrageous during this period. He lost the most stable supporter, the empress dowager, and also lost his control over the court.The thing that the emperor was afraid of happened in the end. He could not win his son when he was old.

The strange situation of Bo Yun in Beijing is a bit far away, Princess Xuan doesn't care about it at the moment, the husband and wife have already discussed the position of Mingxuan Palace, and she believes that her husband will handle it properly, but Cheng Xiao didn't mention it. , apparently fine.

It is the matter in front of me that is more important. "How is your injury? I didn't have to ask in detail before."

"It's okay, just take care of it for a while." Cheng Xiao said softly, "Mother Concubine, is Yu'er better?" Cheng Xiao hesitated for a while but couldn't help asking.

The corner of Wangfei's mouth curled up and looked at him with a smile, "I'll pretend you didn't ask, why can't I help it now, I was very calm in front of my mother just now."

Knowing that the concubine intended to make fun of her, Cheng Xiao turned her face away and said calmly: "The child doesn't understand what the concubine mother said."

What didn't understand was just pretending to be stupid. Concubine Xuan pinched Cheng Xiao's face in anger and said, "If you don't worry, just look at it yourself. You just need to be polite, and you need to be taught by the concubine?"

Cheng Xiao didn't dare to hide and let the concubine succeed in exchange for an advantage. Naturally, she would not be afraid of anything if she had the concubine.He was thinking about Daiyu in his heart, but he pretended to say goodbye to the concubine as if nothing had happened on his face, then turned around and went back to take the things he brought to see Daiyu.

Although it seemed nothing, but Zhen'er was not at ease, thinking it would be very convenient to have an imperial physician in the palace, so she just asked someone to announce the imperial physician to come.

Fortunately, there was nothing serious, but I was frightened, so I couldn't sleep well at night, so I prescribed a prescription to soothe the nerves.But the imperial doctor prescribed another prescription for health.

Daiyu didn't understand, but the imperial doctor smiled and said: "Miss Lin's body is not inappropriate, it's just that the climate here is different, some discomfort can be adjusted a little bit."

This imperial doctor is also surnamed Xu, so he is Xu Cheng's nephew, but the Xu family has practiced medicine for generations, and there have never been many people from the Xu family in the imperial hospital. .

However, the rules in the palace are strict, even if the palace is a little looser, people can't help but walk around.Therefore, I have never been in contact with each other, and I didn't want to be found by the princess this time. It was a coincidence, so I naturally stopped by to help me take a look.

Knowing that it was Xu Cheng's nephew, Daiyu's expression softened, but she was Xu Cheng's junior sister, and the older than her in front of her was a junior.It was not easy to call, but in the end it was just a compromise and I just called Doctor Xu.

Zhen'er heard the relationship between the two of them and was polite to Doctor Xu. After showing him to Daiyu, he sent it out in a good way, but he didn't give gold or silver, and prepared some other gifts. .

When Zijuan sent Imperial Doctor Xu out, he ran into Cheng Xiao coming over, and when he saw the imperial doctor, he showed a bit of solemnity on his face.

Imperial Physician Xu also knew him, so he hurriedly stopped to greet him, and Cheng Xiao asked directly, "Who is the pulse for?"

It was Zicuckoo who saluted and replied: "If you go back to your son, my girl will be a little frightened, so I asked Imperial Physician Xu to come and prescribe a prescription to soothe the nerves."

Zijuan is Daiyu's big maid. Cheng Xiao saw it once, but she had some reflections. Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Doctor Xu: "I'm sorry, if there is anything wrong with Miss Lin, you just need to pay more attention to it." .”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured." Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, Imperial Physician Xu left and left, but Cheng Xiao naturally did not stop her.

It's just that he came here to see Daiyu, but he hesitated when he came to the door. "What is your girl doing now?"

Zijuan lowered her head, "The girl is talking to the princess, and the maidservant will pass it on."

"Well, you go!" Cheng Xiao pretended to be calm and let Zijuan in, standing with his hands behind his back looked extremely free and easy.

It's just that the confidant who was holding things at the side couldn't see it any more, and leaned forward and whispered: "Master, this person is coming and going, should we just wait here? Why don't you just go in!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cheng Xiao reprimanded the boy coldly, secretly thinking that if he was alone, he could try it.

But after a while, someone came out, Cheng Xiao looked at it with a smile on his face, but immediately put away the smile.The person who came out was not Daiyu, nor the other maidservants but Zhen'er.

Naturally, seeing Cheng Xiao's change, Zhen'er just sneered in her heart, but there was no smile at all with a lotus face.

"The Princess is polite." Cheng Xiao calmly turned his body sideways to make way for Zhen'er, just showing courtesy.

Zhen'er didn't move but said coldly: "You want to see Yu'er." But it's just a question, if everyone knows.

"I see that Miss Lin probably doesn't need the consent of the princess. If the princess is fine, she can learn some poetry and book etiquette. Don't lose the dignity of the royal family." It's a good dream, he is sure that Daiyu has no such intentions, but he can't trust the Princess Hongxia.

As soon as these words came out, Zhen'er's face immediately became a little ugly, and she was about to speak, but she didn't expect a soft calling voice from behind.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, she gave Cheng Xiao a provocative smile, then smiled, Yan Yan turned around and replied, "I'll come."

But he ignored Cheng Xiao and went into the courtyard, leaving Cheng Xiao alone with an ugly expression on his face.Fortunately, Zicuckoo soon came out to welcome him in, saying that the girl invited him in.

Suddenly hearing Zijuan report to Cheng Xiao, Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up. "Really! Where?"

Zijuan smiled and said: "The prince is just outside the yard, and he has some things with him, presumably for the girl."

Facing Zicuckoo's eyes full of smiles, Daiyu realized that she was a little too excited, and she sat down embarrassedly and said as if to cover up: "I probably came to see my aunt, so I stopped by."

Although the two yards are very close, it is clear that they came to see their girl specially, but the girl is embarrassed, and Zijuan dare not tease her.Not wanting to, Zhen'er walked out while the two were talking.

Daiyu was a little far away, didn't hear the conversation between the two, but felt something was wrong, and was a little worried that she called Zhen'er back.She didn't suspect anything, after Zhen'er came in, she realized that Daiyu had seen her, her face turned ugly, she bit her lip slightly and said, "You doubt me."
