"You actually gave the Prince Rong's mansion to the crown prince?"

In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhao who had just returned to her couch was a little surprised when she got the news.

It should be known that the late emperor once had a younger brother who was from the same country. When he ascended the throne, the younger brother was sixteen years old. A majestic palace was built at the nearest place to the Forbidden City, and the little prince only needed to spend a cup of tea every day to go to the Empress Dowager to celebrate with his brothers and sisters with the late emperor.

Back then, the little prince was spoiled all over the entire palace by the late emperor, and even the favorite concubine and important ministers were a head shorter. There was even a rumor in Beijing that if any prince in the palace got the little prince's eye, it must be the next one. There is no doubt that he is the emperor.It's a pity that this rumor is probably groundless, and because the young prince has always respected his sister-in-law, no one was surprised when Emperor Jin Yuan succeeded to the throne.

It's a pity that the empress dowager was murdered by the people in the harem when she gave birth to the young prince. The young prince was sick after birth. After Emperor Jin Yuan succeeded to the throne, the young prince finally failed to survive for a few years and died of illness.After he died of illness, and because he had no heirs under his knees, he was even more unwilling to adopt the royal family's children, so the huge mansion was empty.

Until now, Emperor Jin Yuan actually gave this palace to the crown prince he had just abolished...

Empress Dowager Zhao's thoughts changed, but she smiled on her face. She patted the hand of the close mother beside her and said, "My son is still soft-hearted after all."

Empress Dowager Zhao's personal nun comforted: "Your Majesty has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted since he was a child, but now that the throne is more prosperous, that bit of softness is hidden a little deeper. Fortunately, Empress Dowager, you know that your son is as good as your mother. Time to breathe."

After listening to her words, Queen Mother Zhao's smile faded, and she sighed: "Look at the Ai family, I'm afraid that the East Palace really doesn't have that kind of thought. Although Zhao'er is the crown prince, she has been the most gentle and harmonious since she was a child." Temper, now...he has hurt His Majesty, and he will never come back."

"Then why does the empress still have to speak for that side?" The personal nurse was puzzled.

The Empress Dowager Zhao raised her eyes, shook her head and said with a smile: "When you are old, you always don't want to see the younger generation suffer. Such a good child, you can't let this blow you down, his future still has a long way to go... "

The personal nurse recited a sentence of Buddha and sighed: "Your Majesty is really compassionate."

Empress Dowager Zhao patted her on the back of her hand and said: "You tell the concubine next to Zhao'er the news, that child is sincere to the crown prince, and he was forced to kneel at Ai's house this morning. gone."

Emperor Jin Yuan issued an edict to canonize the abolished prince as Rong Wang, and the news of bestowing Rong Wang's mansion quickly spread inside and outside the palace.

This decree slapped the faces of many villains who were about to make trouble for Xie Zhao, and at the same time caused an uproar in the hearts of everyone in the capital. Those who just wanted to get excited and secretly wanted to stand in line with the other princes Be careful and pour cold water on your mind.

There is a saying that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and everyone thinks that the abolition of the prince is just a net cast by the sage. !Thinking about it this way, there was no movement from the top to bottom of the government and the public, no matter the officials, big or small, closed their doors to thank guests for a few days, and did not dare to make any more troubles, for fear of being caught by the Holy Majesty.

At the same time, in Prince Jing's mansion, it was only seven days before the birth.

Ginkgo was buried in a brocade quilt and squatted in confinement. The charcoal fire was burning vigorously in the room, and her whole face was rosy and full of energy.

After giving birth that day, he found that Mr. Xie Lin was with him all the time. After asking, he found out that this man had asked the emperor for a whole month's leave. I've seen people go out.

The two of them lingered in the house for a few days, and Bai Guo couldn't wash his hair or take a bath because of his confinement, so he was always on guard against Xie approaching him.

"I always feel like I'm going to stink." Bai Guo, who looked like a young man after giving birth, had a bitter face, stroked her hair, and arched herself on the bed rather uncomfortably, and told Xie Lin pitifully. He begged, "Your Highness, can I get out of this room sooner?"

"No." Xie Lin tucked up the quilt for him, for fear that the cold wind from the gap between the door and the window would blow on him a little bit, and he didn't tell Bai Guo that the imperial doctor's diagnosis of giving birth to twins would consume more vitality than others, and suggested After the confinement period, a ten-day confinement period will be added.

Bai Guo was still worryingly counting the days on her fingers, unaware that she still had a confinement to endure, she only talked to Xie Lin for a while, and then hesitantly asked about the outside world: "Prince Your Highness, what the hell is Father thinking?"

"Are you hungry?" Xie Lin asked an irrelevant question, and after getting Bai Guo's nod, he opened his mouth slowly, with subtle sarcasm in his tone, "Probably because of his fatherly kindness."

Bai Guo's eyes widened, and she looked at Xie Lin puzzled.

Xie Lin smiled and said: "But this is a good thing for the elder brother. Without the shackles of the prince, and now he has the title of King Rong, those old men in the capital were frightened at first. Be as good as a quail."

"That's a loyal minister of the imperial court." Bai Guo couldn't help covering her mouth and buried herself in the quilt and snickered, "Your Highness, you are an old man and a quail bird. Already!"

Xie Lin helplessly looked at Bai Guo who was smiling happily, lifted the hair on his forehead with his slender fingers, flicked it lightly: "Naughty."

The two got together to make a fuss, but there was a burst of crying in the next room, and it didn't take long for the crying to become a duet.

"Why are you crying?" Bai Guo poked his head anxiously to look out of the couch, even stretched out his legs and feet dishonestly from the bedding, as if he could jump off the bed in one go.

Xie Lin's face darkened in an instant, stopped him, and forcefully put his hands and feet back into the quilt and pressed them lightly, then frowned and said: "Of course there are a group of people around them who are watching carefully, what are you in a hurry for? "

Bai Guo looked flustered: "But I cried..."

Xie Lin didn't want those two children to take too much attention from Bai Guo, but he didn't want to see Bai Guo showing a sad expression, so he could only sigh in the end: "Tell the nanny to come and have a look."

Soon, the nanny came over with the baby in her arms, and the miraculous thing was that the two crying children started to cry when they saw Bai Guo on the couch, and the older one kicked out his arms from the swaddle and waved at Bai Guo. wave.

"Hurry up and bring the kids here." When Bai Guo saw the two little ones, his mind was hooked.

He carefully took the livelier older son from the nanny's arms, and shook the baby in his arms with unfamiliarity. Soon the chubby little baby saw a smile on his face and kept giggling.

But the elder son was happy, but the younger son next to him was unhappy, moaning and groaning, feeling extremely wronged.

"Trouble." Xie Lin frowned, seeing the quieter and thinner son pitifully huddled in the nanny's arms, his already cold expression turned even colder.

The nanny was stared at by such nobles, and almost lost her legs, and for some reason, she handed the little master in her arms forward in a mysterious way.

Xie Lin stared at the little boy who was handed over, his dark eyes narrowed slightly.

But the little baby didn't know what coercion is, what is momentum, just seeing Xie Lin's familiar face, he felt close, his mouth babbled twice, and he laughed.

Bai Guo put the eldest son beside her and was about to coax the younger son when she saw such a scene.

He suppressed a smile, but his brows and eyes were curved: "Your Highness, why don't you hug Cubs."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the servants who were serving in the room trembled.

From their point of view, men in the Jin Dynasty always paid attention to holding grandchildren and not having children. Besides, since the two young masters were born, although His Highness carefully selected the servants who served the two young masters, other than that, His Highness seemed to dislike the two little masters more, and even told the wet nurse not to let the children bother the princess if she had nothing to do...

But just as everyone was thinking wildly, Xie Lin took the baby from the nanny with a rather indifferent expression.

And the child probably just drank milk, and when he laughed, some milk would come out of his mouth and flow down the bib around his neck to Xie Lin's sleeve...

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" The nurse was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground, trembling, not daring to speak.

But the nobleman's anger did not come as expected, Xie Lin never looked at the nanny, but frowned, lifted the bib of the child in his arms, and wiped the milk stains around his mouth.

"What did you call him just now?" Xie Lin carefully wiped the corners of the child's lips, raised his eyes to glance at the eldest son, and then looked away boringly.

Sensing the man's embarrassment towards his youngest son, Bai Guo pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Zai Zai."

"Yeah." Xie Lin nodded, "Father only named the eldest son of the family during the three baptisms, and now it seems that the name of the concubine's cub is better."

Bai Guo blinked, and asked uncertainly: "During the three baptisms, did the emperor name Da Zai Zai? Why haven't I heard His Highness mention it... Also, the name Xie Zai Zai is too childish, isn't it?" ?” He was still tired that day, all he knew was that the child had been carried out to watch for a long time, and when he woke up, it was the next day, and no one around him had ever told him about it.

"It's just a small matter, I forgot to tell you when I was busy." Xie Lin deliberately concealed it.

Bai Guo laughed angrily: "How can this be a trivial matter? His Majesty gave it a name."

Xie Lin only said: "The eldest sons of my brothers and I are all named by the emperor, it's just a habit."

Bai Guo glared at him, reluctantly accepting this statement, but then he became curious again, teasing the eldest son beside him and asking: "What name did the emperor give our cub?"

Xie Lin lowered his eyes: "Father named him Xie Zhan."

"Xie Zhan..." Bai Guo pinched the tip of the eldest son's nose and said with a smile, "Zhan'er."

Da Zai Zai laughed "giggle".

The father and son got bored for a while, then Bai Guo turned his head and saw that Xie Lin had put the youngest son on the couch. After caring about the elder son, there was a more pitiful younger son behind him, Bai Guo couldn't help but picked up the younger son and kissed him On the forehead, he disapproved of Xie Lin's so-called "Xie Zai Zai" name, so he said: "Zai Zai can only be a nickname. If the child grows up and is called this, it will make people laugh."

Xie Lindao: "Who dares to laugh at this king's child?"

Bai Guo wrinkled her nose, leaned close to Xie Lin's chin, and bit him fiercely: "Anyway, it can't."

Xie Lin hugged him helplessly: "Then it's just a nickname."

Bai Guo found a comfortable position, hid in Xie Lin's arms, and hugged her youngest son on her chest, said with a crooked smile, "Then your Highness, think of a name for Zai Zai?"

Xie Lin thought for a while, looked at his youngest son's facial features similar to those of Bai Guo, who had just relaxed in the past few days, and said slowly, "I'll call him Xie Xiao."

The two young masters in Prince Jing's Mansion both got their names, the eldest son Xie Zhan, and the youngest son Xie Xiao, and within a few days, it spread to the ears of everyone in Beijing.

Concubine Qin and Concubine Xiaoyu picked a day when they had free time to visit Baiguo. Seeing that his complexion was rosy, and his complexion was even better than before giving birth, he knew how comfortable he was in the past few days.

"Anyway, your lord is finally willing to call us to see you today." Li Xian'er sat down on the embroidered stool and said.

Princess Xiaoyu also nodded her head vigorously, and said freshly: "What about the child, quickly hug me and let us play... Cough, look."

Bai Guozhuan asked someone to wrap a soft scarf on his head, covered the quilt and said: "What are you doing here to see me, Xian'er, why did you not let me come in to see you when you were in confinement, you forgot ?”

Li Xian'er coughed lightly: "Aren't I afraid that you might dislike me?"

Bai Guo said with a sullen face: "I'm not afraid that you will dislike me? I told His Highness early this morning that my body is not only going to smell bad, but also sour."

Princess Xiaoyu shook her head: "No, I can't smell it at all."

Bai Guo only treated her as two people coaxing herself, and she was still not very interested, but Li Xian'er suddenly discovered "Hua Dian": "You have been accompanied by King Jing for a few days after giving birth?"

Hearing this, Bai Guo finally saw a smile on his face, and nodded: "He only left when you came."

Li Xianer: "Envy."

Princess Xiaoyu: "Jealous."

Bai Guo waved his hand: "Then just don't hate me."

After finishing speaking, the three of them burst into laughter together.

After laughing, Bai Guo poked the quilt and asked Princess Xiaoyu, "I haven't heard about it since the Queen Mother's birthday. I don't know how that Concubine Xu is doing now?" After a pause, he complained again, "ask I asked His Highness several times, but he refused to tell me."

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid of scaring you." Li Xian'er said quickly, "You just gave birth, so I can't tell you."

Bai Guo became even more curious when she heard it: "What happened?"

Li Xian'er hesitated, looked at Princess Xiaoyu, Princess Xiaoyu's expression remained unchanged, and she said: "That's all about it, Xian'er, just talk about it, the sins that my Highness made by myself have now been exposed, I Do you still have to cover the back of his butt?"

Li Xian'er coughed lightly, and told Bai Guo what happened in the palace in the past few days under Bai Guo's curious eyes.

It turned out that although Xie Zhao was granted the title of King Rong after being abolished as the crown prince, all the courtiers dared not attack each other when they saw this, but without the crown prince to bear the emperor's anger in front, it would be even more unlucky for the person who committed the crime before. In the future, they will be executed, but before the execution, the work of the criminal interrogation department cannot be stopped, and they have to interrogate them every day. Finally, after the scholars who participated in the fraud case hanged themselves and bit their tongues one by one in the cell, there was a criminal named Song Zhengqing. However, some other "insider stories" were recruited.

During the confession, Song Zhengqing bluntly said that the person behind the scenes who gave them the cheating files was the steward of Prince Yu's mansion!

Speaking of this, Princess Xiaoyu sneered: "I didn't know he was so big-hearted that he dared to intervene in the imperial examination."

Bai Guo took a deep breath, and looked at Princess Xiaoyu worriedly: "Your Majesty knows about King Yu's involvement in the case? My God... have you been implicated?"

Princess Xiaoyu quickly comforted Bai Guo and said, "I didn't suffer much, Guoguo, you don't have to worry about me."

Li Xian'er said: "Then shall I continue?"

The two nodded together.

In this way, if the courtiers are greedy with their own hands and feet, the people in the torture department will definitely not be soft-hearted and present to the court to ask for rewards, but if the matter is implicated in the prince and prince, the other party cannot deal with it casually.

The officials of the torture department carefully reported the matter to the palace. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jin Yuan was furious. He reprimanded Concubine Rong that day and ordered her to be confined in the palace. No matter how much Concubine Ren Rong begged, it would not help , But that night, when King Yu heard the news, he went into the palace in shock, but was severely broken by Emperor Jin Yuan.

"If this son was born by me, he would be such a fool, and he would be spared with one leg." Li Xian'er complained while talking.

Concubine Xiao Yu didn't see any distress on her face, she just smiled: "He broke a leg, it's a good thing for me, I think his leg won't be good in half a year, and he won't be able to be a demon, just to save me from worrying about what he's going to do."

Bai Guo looked at his two ruthless sisters-in-law, and swallowed.

"But what does this matter have to do with Concubine Xu?" He was puzzled.

"Xu Concubine suffered a lot that day and was heartbroken, but she thought it was only temporary, thinking that my lord must have the ability to fish him out." Princess Xiaoyu said softly, "Who would have thought that my lord would go out later?" That matter, being rejected by His Majesty, it is too late to protect himself, how can we save him?"

"It just so happens that the people who interrogated him were also from the Interrogation Department. My Highness was fine before, and that group of people treated him respectfully, but then they disappeared. All kinds of torture methods are used in turn, and then Concubine Xu can't stand it." Bitter, I told all the messy things at once."

"It turns out that he was actually infertile. The former Princess Yu was the one who was harmed by him." Little Princess Yu sighed, "Furthermore, he did conceive a child later on, but it was just looking for a child." It was obtained by an evil way, and it was a stillborn monster that came out during childbirth, and it was burned early, and the daughter who was raised by him later, in fact, he took the pity of my Highness through the stillbirth, and later encouraged His Highness, from another It was taken from a concubine named Ji Ji who happened to be pregnant with twins."

Bai Guo's eyes widened, she didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Princess Xiao Yu sighed: "That pair of children is poor. They gave birth to two children after a narrow escape, and they never thought that one of them would be taken away. I heard that side concubine Xu wanted to snatch the pair and give birth to them." Son, but that Shuang'er's twin brother threatened to die in front of His Royal Highness King Yu, which made His Highness take a step back and took the girl away."

"This...the childbirth twin will wake up and go crazy." Bai Guo murmured, imagining that possible scene, a sharp pain suddenly flashed in her heart, and she was almost out of breath.

Seeing that Bai Guo's expression was not right, Princess Xiao Yu quickly comforted him and said: "Those twins are not lucky, but they have a twin brother who always thinks about him. When he wakes up, he only lied to him that the child who came out later was due to physical reasons. , I failed to survive after giving birth. Although such a statement is a bit cruel, it is more acceptable than the truth. After all, it is even more difficult for twins to give birth, let alone two. It was uncomfortable for a while, but it was over.”

Bai Guo said: "It's really a crime."

Li Xian'er also sighed: "Who said it wasn't? You said how could side concubine Xu come up with so many insidious tricks? It's really scary."

Princess Xiaoyu laughed, "At least it's over now, and I don't have to guard against him in the future."

The few people didn't say anything, but Bai Guo thought about it, the chance of Concubine Xu's survival is almost gone, maybe His Highness didn't want to tell him because of this reason.

The matter of Concubine Xu was very satisfying to a few people, and they chatted about gossip about the son and daughter of the aristocratic family in Beijing. Finally, Li Xian'er couldn't help it:

"Hey, don't talk about those bad things, quickly take the child out and show us."

Princess Xiaoyu echoed: "That's it!"

The three of them immediately started arguing.

"I want to touch Brother Zhan and Xiaoxiao more, and attract more children and grandchildren. Fortunately, my highness has been unable to move his legs for half a year, but I have to hurry up. If you can't rely on men in the future, you can only rely on your son."

"What are you talking about, are you not afraid of being laughed at?"

"Is it wrong to want to have a child?! You who have sons don't understand my pain!"

"Hey, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, I'll let the nanny carry me..."

"Then hurry up, can't wait, can't wait!"

……

In the study room of Prince Jing's Mansion, Xie Lin listened to the servants reporting various movements in the princess's room, the corners of his lips slightly curved: "Let's tell him to play, just ask people to watch and not let him blow the wind."

"Yes, the servants will take care of it carefully."

The servants stepped back, and slowly walked out from behind the screen were two counselors of the palace.

"Your Highness, let's see if the timing is right now?" said the counselor together.

Xie Lin's eyes were deep, but he shook his head: "Wait a little longer."

The counselor was puzzled: "At this time, if His Highness thinks, the position is just a bag, but why..."

Xie Lin smiled: "If you don't wait a little longer, why not ask for a righteous name?"

In the past, acting without scruples was just a hindrance to being free from worries. He is not a gentleman, and killing his father and brother is not too difficult for him to accept, but this life is different from the past. The tragedy of the previous life has long passed, and now only " "Security" is what he seeks.

What's more...he wants to give the best to that person, he can be a tyrant but he has to face the criticism of the world after all, he doesn't want that person to be drawn into the vortex by himself.

Counselors [-] and [-] saw that he had made up his mind and understood that it would be useless to persuade him, so they bowed their hands.

"If His Highness thinks this way, a certain class will voluntarily lie dormant and wait, and advance and retreat with you."
