After the feast in the palace, the courtiers went home for the winter festival. Xiao Zhige and an Changqing moved to the Zhenggong to continue the family feast. The population in the palace is not abundant, and the eldest princess is the only blood relative on Xiao Zhige's side. Today, both the eldest princess and the horse have entered the palace, plus Yu and an Xianyu, there are no more than eight people. Shang Shi has just been renovated, and he didn't dare to prepare the family dinner too extravagantly, but he made noodles with sweet potatoes and made dumplings with all kinds of stuffing, and gave them a taste of fresh.

When the family dinner was over, the eldest princess went to the Cai family with the horse, while an Changqing personally sent Yu and an Xianyu back to the royal mansion. By the time everything was in place, it was already dusk. When it gets dark early in winter, there is no sunset at this time, leaving only the dark sky of ignorance.

An Changqing changed into household clothes, led the horse, and was ready to go back to the palace. Today's winter festival, Xiao Zhige and his two children are in the palace. If an Changqing does not return to the palace, Xiao Zhige will certainly come to him again tomorrow to "ask for an explanation."

It was just as soon as he rode out, he saw that a low-key carriage had been parked in the open space in front of the door. Although the driver is a stranger, it is estimated that there will be no one else waiting at the gate of the palace at this time. When he got off his horse, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked into it. Sure enough, there was Xiao Zhige.

The ubiquitous guards did not know where to hide and there was no sign of them. On the contrary, Xiao Zhige was sitting in the car in a very ordinary black outfit, with his hair tied up with a crown. When he saw an Changqing's eyebrow, he had a bit of a riffraff.

"Why are you out of the palace? What about the Guards? " An Changqing got into the carriage and put down the curtain of the carriage.

"I have nothing to do today. I'd like to invite King Yan to visit Beijing with me." Xiao Zhige smiled, took the opportunity to pull the person over and hugged him, buried his head in his neck and took a deep breath.

Xiao Zhige especially likes to hold him now. An Changqing said several times that it didn't work, so he simply let him hold him. But I was still a little worried. I opened the window curtain and looked out: "I'm afraid it's not safe not to bring the Guards." It's not good for you to show up on the street again. "

"people follow in the dark, and nothing can go wrong." Xiao Zhige put down the curtain, turned his face back to face himself, and said, "We haven't traveled together for a long time."

That's why it's bad to be an emperor. He can no longer ride his horse to take him all over Beijing and buy him his favorite cakes and pine nuts. Occasionally, with fewer guards, those subjects have to make painstaking efforts to persuade the "son of a daughter not to sit in the hall" for fear that he will make a mistake. Xiao Zhige heard that his ears had grown cocoons, and he could only take enough guards with him when he went out.

An Changqing squeezed his finger and said with a smile, "that minister will accompany me downstream again today." Where does your Majesty want to go first? "

"go to Sanweizhai first." Xiao Zhige told the rickshaw driver to drive to Sanweizhai and said to him, "I haven't bought you cakes for a long time. Although Shang's skill is good, he always feels that it is not as good as the taste outside."

An Changqing is addicted to sweetness and usually likes the cakes of Sanweizhai and the pine nuts in a sugar shop. In the past, Xiao Zhige would buy it back on his way back. Now that he has moved into the palace, there are delicacies every day, but an Changqing eats less instead. Although he didn't say it, Xiao Zhige knew that he must prefer the usual ones.

Since left the palace today, specially took him to buy it.

Even during the winter festival, Sanwei Zhai is still open today. today, many people will buy some cakes that they are usually reluctant to eat to go home. Xiao Zhige is inconvenient to show up, so he gives several pastry names and asks the rickshaw puller to buy them.

Today, it was the shopkeeper who used to receive Xiao Zhige in the shop. When he heard the rickshaw driver report a list of familiar dim sum names, he jumped in his heart, stretched his neck and looked out, but only saw an inconspicuous carriage. He thought that the king of the Northern War was now an emperor, so he should not eat the snacks any more, so he shook his head and continued to wrap them. After wrapping them, he happily added a few pieces of fresh-flavored refreshments.

The rickshaw driver sent the wrapped snacks, and Xiao Zhige asked the rickshaw driver to turn around to buy pine nuts. The candy shop that buys pine nut candy is run by an old couple. The pine nut candy is sweet but not greasy, and there are a lot of nuts. It's just that they didn't open a sugar shop in the past, so they thought they had gone home for the holidays.

An Changqing picked up a piece of cake and took a bite and said with a smile, "everyone else is in a hurry to go home for the festival, but your Majesty is anxious to run out."

Xiao Zhige ate the remaining half of the cake with his hand, and just said, "if the Wild Goose King doesn't go home, won't I have to chase it out?"

An Changqing snorted softly, did not argue with him, turned his eyes, and told the coachman to go to Shantang.

Jingjing is a prosperous place, and now it is the winter festival, and every household has lit its lamps. Although the streets are deserted, the windows of houses on both sides show warm light, which does not look depressed.

When the carriage crosses the long street and turns into another roadway, you can see the good hall built side by side.

Shantang commandeered the expansion of the abandoned mansion, and there was a thatched shed in front of it. There were two large stoves in front of the hut, and there were cauldrons on the stove, in which the heat was curling, and the smell of sweet potatoes could still be smelled vaguely.

It was getting late, and people with roofs were reunited with their families at home at this time, and only a small number of homeless people gathered near the stove in Shantang, eating sweet potatoes carefully while keeping warm, with a contented smile on their faces.

Their carriage was parked at the entrance of the alley, looking in the direction of Shantang. An Changqing sighed, "I don't know if people in other places can have a good holiday like this."

Although the government decrees have been delivered to the localities, it is inevitable to worry that local officials may be disobedient or disobedient and do not act according to the orders.

Xiao Zhige patted him on the shoulder and said in a slightly deep voice, "I don't know yet this year, but if you give me two or three more years, I will certainly make the people have plenty of food and clothing."

The two men secretly inspected the good halls both inside and outside the city, and did not return to the palace until Xu Xu.

In the Ganzheng Palace, Xiao Anheng and Xiao Anzhu are quarrelling and refusing Rest. The dads were still there before the brother and sister fell asleep, but they didn't see anyone when they woke up. No matter how much they coaxed them, they cried and looked for their dads.

Wang Yu and Han Chang looked as if they had seen a savior. Each of them brought the prince and Princess Sui Zhu over and said with a bitter face, "when the prince and princess wake up, they are looking for your Majesty and your Majesty, and the maidservants cannot be coaxed."

An Changqing raised her eyebrows and leaned over to see that both brother and sister were dry thunder and did not rain, and there were no tears in their eyes. Xiao Anzhu stopped crying as soon as she saw him, stretched out her little arm and said, "Dad! Dad! Give me a hug. "

Xiao Anheng reacted slowly, but he also stopped crying and echoed, "give me a hug."

An Changqing wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Hsiao Chih-ge hugged him in one hand, and his arm jolted up and down, and said to Xiao an Heng with dissatisfaction, "it's all right for my sister to cry. Why do you follow the cry of the crown prince?"

Xiao Anheng looked at him blankly, his mouth shriveled. Xiao Anzhu was a big imp, and whether she understood it or not, she babbled and booed on the side.

Xiao Zhige was partial and blatant. The more she looked at the little girl, the more she felt that Yuxue was lovely. He could not help kissing her little cheek. Xiao Anheng probably finally realized that he had been left out in the cold, twisted his body unhappily, stretched out his small arm to an Changqing, and kept shouting "Daddy" in his mouth.

"you will bully your son." An Changqing will take over the aggrieved Xiao an Heng, there is no good airway.

"how can this be called bullying him? The prince, of course, should be more stable. How can he compete with his sister for favor? " Xiao Zhige confidently put his daughter on his shoulder and let her ride a big horse.

An Changqing rolled her eyes at him impolitely, and before she could speak, she saw Xiao Zhige's body stiff, and then said, "Anzhu, have you peed?"

Xiao Anzhu: "go! Drive! "

The nurse who waited next to her hurriedly came forward to check, and immediately turned a little pale and said in a trembling voice, "your Majesty will forgive me, this …". Her Royal Highness did pee, and the maidservant changed her Royal Highness's clothes. "

The first time Xiao Anzhu rode a big horse, she peed on her father's neck.

"it should be." An Changqing smiled unkindly with Xiao Anheng in her arms and asked the nurse to take Xiao Anzhu to change her diapers and clothes.

Xiao Zhige coughed, pinched his daughter's face, deliberately kept a straight face and asked, "Little villain, dare to pee your father, dare you next time?"

Xiao Anzhu opened her eyes wide and kicked hard: "Drive!"

His Majesty's face is green. An Changqing smiled and urged him to take a bath and change his clothes, and the palace man next to him wanted to laugh but dared not laugh, and hung his head under a smile.

Three days after the winter festival, Xiao Zhige seldom had time to spare, so he took care of the children in the Ganzheng Palace.

He didn't know where he heard it, saying that the doll should be grabbed from childhood. When he had nothing to do today, he encircled the prince in his arms and found the outline of governing the country and read it to him. It is said that you have to grow up so that you can become a wise king and take over his burden.

Xiao Anheng leaned in his father's arms, his big eyes blinking pitifully, drowsy. An Changqing could not laugh or cry. Seeing that he had read happily, he had no choice but to let him go.

While the two men were coaxing the children, they saw Han Zhang hurriedly come in from outside, withdrew from waiting on the palace, and reported in a low voice, "your Majesty, the king of wild geese, and Chuang Tzu, there is news that the man is dying, and he probably won't make it through the night."

He spoke vaguely, but the only thing he could call it was the abandoned Prince Xiao Qi Eucalyptus.

After the failure of forcing the palace to seek rebellion, Xiao Qi Eucalyptus was captured by Xiao Zhige. Later, Xiao Zhige ascended the throne and declared to the outside world that the prince killed his father and killed the king, and the crime was unforgivable. But in fact, he was secretly locked up on a Zhuangzi outside the city, and the person who asked to take care of him was Chiang Hsiao-hsien, a former useless crown princess who had been sent to the temple for spiritual practice.

Xiao Zhige once said that he would not easily let Xiao Qi Eucalyptus die. For an animal like him who amuses others by abusing others, he should taste the pain himself.

He did not know what was the feud between Jiang Xiaoqing and Xiao Qi Eucalyptus, but he knew that Jiang Xiaoqing hated Xiao Qi eucalyptus to the bone, and what he did was to comply with Jiang Xiaoqing's request and keep them in Zhuangzi outside the city. Chuang Tzu was guarded, and a few rough slaves waited on the daily life, but those slaves were only at the mercy of Chiang Hsiao-hsien.

After throwing people in the past, Xiao Zhige no longer paid attention to the news there. Unexpectedly, after two or three months, Xiao Qi Eucalyptus could not hold up.

"what happened? Where is Madame Chiang? " Xiao Zhige asked.

Everything on Zhuangzi was left to Han Zhang to deal with. He said, "I heard that during yesterday's winter festival, Madame Chiang was grieving when she missed the child who had a miscarriage. She hit hard and whipped." After that, I let people freeze outside for a whole night, and today I had a fever during the day. The doctor saw it and said that the loss was too bad, and I'm afraid he couldn't get it back. Madame Chiang was business as usual, but sent a message and asked his Majesty if she wanted to go and have a look. If she didn't, she would set it on fire when someone died. "

Otherwise, how did the ancients say that the hearts of the most poisonous women? for Xiao Qi Eucalyptus, Jiang Xiaoqing really wanted to eat its flesh. There were so many ways of torturing people that even he, an eunuch, sounded frightened.

Xiao Zhige meditated for a moment and said, "prepare the car for driving. I'll go and have a look. Don't disturb others."

Han Zhang understood what he meant and retired to prepare.

"I'll go with you." An Changqing said.

Xiao Zhige paused for a moment, then nodded and went to Zhuangzi outside the city with him.

The boundary of Zhuangzi was far away, and from afar, there was a bleak spirit. When the carriage entered Zhuangzi in a low profile, he saw that Jiang Xiaoqing was already waiting in the hall. She looked much colder than before, with no pretentious modesty and perfect smile. When she saw Xiao Zhige and an Changqing, she only blessed herself and said, "I am in the partial room."

The two nodded and were led to the partial room by the servant.

The side room was empty and dark, with only a bed and a table, not even a heater. The seriously ill Xiao Qi-eucalyptus lay on the bed, his limbs tied to the bedpost, unwillingly panting with his eyes wide open-the doctor did not get the order and did not treat him.

Xiao Zhige stood two paces away and looked at him. Xiao Qi eucalyptus has lost its shape, showing fresh whip marks and old scars on her arms and ankles. When he suddenly saw Xiao Zhige and an Changqing, he tried his best to open his eyes and struggled to speak out: "that bitch wants to kill me!" Didn't you say you wouldn't let me die? I don't want to die yet. You, you get me a doctor. I don't want to die. "

His voice also became hoarse, as if his voice had been hurt.

Xiao Zhige looked coldly at his dying struggle: "what you look like now matches your virtue."

In the past, the abandoned prince ended up with the breeze of the moon, Pianpian good Childe. Is to publicize the evil he has done, and when someone looks at his gentle face, he may wonder, is it true that he did these evil things?

The human face is nothing more than the heart of the beast.

Now he was out of shape, with sunken eyes, towering cheekbones and thin limbs, which suited him better than ever.

Xiao Qi eucalyptus choked and suddenly went crazy without warning. He roared like a wild animal: "where do you think you are better than me?" You left me with that bitch to torture! She's crazy! How much better are you than me? Huh? "

He roared and cried again, "she's a bitch!" Crazy! How dare she do that to me! I won't let her go! "

His legs kept kicking, the thin cover on his body was kicked away, and the clear sunken outline was already drawn under the quilt by wet trousers. An Changqing glanced at it and frowned away. As a man, he naturally saw that Xiao Qi-eucalyptus was different now-he had been castrated.

No wonder he's so crazy. It's just that an Changqing didn't sympathize with him at all. When he amused himself by killing women for a moment of pleasure, he should have thought of retribution.

Xiao Qi eucalyptus's end was more miserable than he could have imagined. Xiao Zhige was slightly satisfied, withdrew his eyes in some disgust, and prepared to leave with an Changqing. Xiao Qi-eucalyptus, who was behind her, cried, "Don't go!" You might as well kill me. I won't be tortured by that bitch again. Kill me. "

Neither of them looked back and stepped out of the threshold, and a servant closed the door, but the crazy voice of Xiao Qi's eucalyptus still came out, and he didn't want to die, so he begged Xiao Zhige to find him a doctor.

Jiang Xiaoqing is waiting outside. The Chiang family rebelled with Xiao Qi Eucalyptus at the beginning, and the men were exiled by their female relatives. Instead, only Jiang Xiaoqing, who had become an abandoned son, was sent to the temple for spiritual practice, but was actually prepared to be put to death secretly. Now it is called Madame Chiang by the servants of Zhuangzi.

Xiao Zhige is not going to stay much, but now that Xiao Qi Eucalyptus is dying, Jiang Xiaoqing should have a place to go. In fact, Jiang Xiaoqing is not completely innocent, but in order to retaliate against the crown prince, she provided a lot of information to Xiao Zhige, so Xiao Zhige returned the favor and kept her alive. If she wanted to, she could go away incognito and live the life of an ordinary person.

"Xiao Qi eucalyptus's body is also at your disposal. After that, you will remain anonymous and leave Beijing. " Xiao Zhige said to her.

Jiang Xiaoqing shook his head and said, "Thank you for your generosity, but there is a lot of blood on my hands. Up to this point, it is all my retribution." Xiao Qi eucalyptus's blood debt has been paid, but mine will not be repaid for the rest of his life. If your Majesty is not disgusted, allow me to become a monk in Nishi and recite scriptures and pray for those who have died in vain for the rest of my life. If your Majesty refuses to do so, it will be all right for me to make a decision on this Chuang Tzu. "

There was no sadness or joy in her expression, and her fundus was like a dry well without waves.

Xiao Zhige did not want to embarrass her. "it's your choice," said the way.

After that, he left with an Changqing. On the way back, the atmosphere was a little dull. Xiao Zhige was not unhappy, but he didn't know what to say for a while. An Changqing saw his calm face, but thought he was unhappy when he remembered the past. she took him by the hand and took the initiative and said, "tomorrow we will take an Heng and Charmaine to worship our mother."

After Xiao Zhige ascended the throne, he made his concubine Empress Dowager. Another person chose a good time to move the coffin and moved the coffin of the concubine into the mausoleum to enjoy the incense of future generations. The Winter Solstice ordinary people have to sacrifice their ancestors, Xiao Zhigui as the son of heaven, but the winter solstice is busy offering sacrifices to heaven and earth temple, has not yet had time to worship his birth mother.

"all right." Xiao Zhige sighed and said, "ask your mother to take a look at an Heng and an Zhu." She was relieved to see that we were doing well. "

An Changqing gave a "um", deliberately squeezed to his side, and put her hands into his skirt to cover: "We will go first thing in the morning."

"mm-hmm." Xiao Zhige warmed his hands, his frowned eyebrows stretched out, and his fundus showed tenderness.

The author has something to say:

Countenance (majesty): don't pee on your father any more, do you understand?

Little Princess: Ah! (I see, don't you dare next time

Prince: slap. Jpg
