He has nothing to say, and of course I have nothing to say.

Looking at the silhouette of the prince rushing away, my tense nerves also loosened. In fact, how could I not understand his position in my heart? If I were him, I'm afraid my wrist would be more decisive than him.

Then...

"Princess." Eunuch Cheng outside the door had been waiting for a long time. "Before the princess came back, the prince had ordered the servant to arrange the residence of the princess in the palace, and the servant will take the princess there."

I sighed, "Is it Changle Hall?"

Eunuch Cheng was startled and nodded immediately.

Changle Hall.

Before the Princess Mansion outside the palace was built, this place has always been my bedroom.

After I got married, I completely moved out. Occasionally, when I returned to the palace, I was often dragged by the younger brother of the prince to the East Palace to discuss political affairs. When it was late at night, I stayed in the East Palace to sleep, but I didn’t return for a long time.

After a long absence, I returned to my hometown, but seeing the plum blossoms in front of the corridor, I couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic in my heart. Going all the way in, there are not a few palace maids as far as I can reach, I turned to Cheng Gong and said: "This princess is only temporarily staying for a few days, why did you find such a large group of palace maids for gān? To sing and dance for me? "

Eunuch Cheng said with a smile: "This is what His Highness the Crown Prince meant, lest I neglect the princess."

"I'm afraid of being neglected when I go back to my house? It's good to leave a few clever ones when I go back. With so many people dangling in front of my eyes all day long, my heart will be impetuous, okay?"

I stepped into the inner hall and looked around. Over the years, the furnishings here have remained the same, and even the camellias by the screen are no different from what I remembered.

I was silent for a moment and said, "I remember that this pot of camellias that Dali paid tribute to was accidentally knocked over by the prince..."

Seeing that the father-in-law was waiting to open his mouth again, I waved my hand, "I know what you are going to say, the prince ordered someone to replant a pot, right?"

Eunuch Cheng smiled slightly, and I rubbed my brows, "Okay, if you need anything, this palace will instruct you. Go back and serve your highness the prince."

After my father-in-law left, I stepped into the long-lost bedroom alone, and as soon as I entered the room, the familiar incense wafted into my nostrils, which I hadn't heard for a long time, but it was somewhat cordial.

I lifted the lid of the smoking jar and took a closer look. It was sandalwood, agarwood, wood and Canaan incense. It seems that Jingyan still didn't know that I still added Angelica, Duhuo, Gansong and Lian to the incense. It's no wonder that the flavor is too strong.

In fact, I didn't like burning incense at all, but because Jingyan was in poor health since childhood, he could have a typhoid fever and a high fever, but he always liked to come and play with me, so I asked the imperial doctor to prescribe incense curd. It is mixed into incense incense, one is burning and smoking to keep out the cold, and the other is that it can cure diseases and maintain health.

Lying on the warm quilt, it is inevitable that I feel sleepy. I was about to ask someone to prepare hot water to take a bath and then have a good sleep, but I heard a slight noise from the bottom of the bed.

Shouldn't there be a mouse in it?

I scratched my numb scalp, pressed the edge of the bed, and slowly poked my head under the bed.

Then saw a pair of eyes.

I immediately fell from the bed in fright.

I admit that it was a pair of bright and beautiful eyes, but it's still scary to appear in the dark on the couch without symptoms.

I sat back on the couch holding onto the waist that I saw, "You, come out."

The little guy under chuáng crawled out obediently.

She got out and saw me, and she didn't get up in a hurry. She gave me a jerky salute while sitting on her knees, and said timidly, "See Huangjie."

With a headache, I looked at the pink and soft face in front of me. If I remember correctly, this little girl should be my youngest imperial sister, Princess Jiayi. Her mother, Libi, was once very favored by her father. But she seemed to be only three or four years old when I got married, and I seldom came to the harem on weekdays. Except for the greetings that symbolized xing during the palace banquets, I didn't have much contact. At this moment, she just crawled under me. When it came out, I didn't know whether to be fierce or kind.

Jiayi turned her eyes smartly, her big eyes flickering and blinking. I couldn't resist her blinking. I patted the bed and said, "The floor is so cold, how long are you going to sit?"

She heard this and smiled lightly, her cheeks dimples looming. As soon as she sat next to me, I couldn't help reaching out and poking her dimples and said, "Why did you hide from me? Play hide-and-seek?"

Jiayi shook her head, glanced at me shyly, and said, "Jiayi heard that Huangjie is back, so she wanted to come and take a look at Huangjie quietly."

I couldn't stop kneading her face, "Look at me? Well, why don't you look at it in an open and honest way? The emperor's heart is not very good, and your opinion is easy to look at the doctor."

Jiayi said in a low voice, "...it was my mother who didn't let me come. She was afraid that I didn't know how to make the emperor unhappy..."

It seems that the concubine Li concubine still knows her daughter very well.

I smiled helplessly, "How come?"

Sincerely, although I seldom pay attention to the bad things in the imperial palace, I have been fascinated by them since I was a child. The father and emperor have been sick all the year round in the palace. If these concubines lost their favor, they would have lost their backers. The queen mother knew that there were concubines and princesses who came to approach me, and the days to come would be even more difficult.

I rubbed Jiayi's head, "Anyway, Huangjie will be free to play next time. You want to play with me anytime, such a cute little girl, who doesn't feel good about her?"

Jiayi smiled brightly, "What does Huang Jie say?"

"That's natural!"

She couldn't help but jumped up and hugged me, "Huang Jie is the best!"

I was hugged by her soft body so much that my heart melted, and my heart said that I would have a baby girl in the future.

No, how could I think about such a shameless thing? If Song Langsheng knew about it, he would have to make fun of me.

Looking at Jiayi's jumping figure, I shook my head. Now is not the time to think about it.

In a few days, the news of my falling out with the prince should be spread all over the palace. The prince will increase the search for Song Langsheng, and he will also use my power to stop me from taking action. I took advantage of the situation to play the role of a princess who broke up with her concubine and turned against the prince. She was raised in the Changle Palace and only cared about wasting fun with her younger sister. As a result, Feng Li and Nie Guang would definitely make some moves.

If I am Fengli, what method can I use to make the greatest impact in the most direct way?

"Huangjie? Huangjie!" Jiayi shook my sleeve, "What are you stunned for?"

"It's nothing." I slowly looked out the window at the strange palace servants coming and going, and the familiar and long-lost Changle Palace, "I am just thinking about...then...what...how to play."

Chapter 51

The next few days, I lived comfortably to boring days. All day long, he is not eating, drinking, sleeping, or playing chess with Jiayi. Even Eunuch Cheng, who occasionally came to explore the wind, said, "The princess looks round."

Being so frank with him, I once again declined his request to persuade me to coax the prince.

Since he broke up with Jingyan, he has never stepped on my Changle Palace, and I have never been to the East Palace. After a stalemate for a while, even the taciturn mother came to persuade me to "sister and brother are of the same heart and benefit." Broken gold" and so on.

The mother has always favored her younger brother, but most of the time she will not come to discuss the problems between our sister and brother, and she has to go out in person because of two recent events.

The first is the Great Ceremony.

Speaking of which, the winter sacrifices of all dynasties and dynasties were an extremely important event. From the many tedious preparations before the sacrifice to the arrangement of the sacrifice ceremony, it was not at all sloppy. Once upon a time, the father and the emperor had just lost one of the sky lanterns that should be hung. The Minister of Industry was also assigned to the frontier, not to mention the words and deeds of the officials who accompanied the worship on that day. If there was a slight error in the behavior, the head of the item had to be prepared.

In previous years, the person who sacrificed to the sky was naturally the emperor of the dynasty. Since his father fainted two years ago, the ceremony of sacrifice to the sky had to be suspended for two years.

It is also strange to say that the natural disasters have been continuous in the past two years. The drought in this room has just eased, and the floods in the other room have caused the people's hearts to be uneasy. After several intense discussions between the DPRK and China, the big guys unanimously decided to resume offering sacrifices to heaven.

Now that the father is still in a drowsiness, no one has the courage to carry him to sacrifice to the heaven, so this burden naturally falls on the crown prince.

Then, the meaning of this sacrifice to the heaven is extraordinary for the prince.

Since ancient times, the reason why every sacrifice to the king has been treated with care is not only to ask for God's blessing, but also to show the sovereign power to the people. question?

In fact, the father's illness has dragged on for so long, not only did it not improve, but it was also getting worse. Someone in the DPRK had already proposed a proposal for the crown prince to be enthroned. It's just that the prince was not ready at all before, so there was no movement for a long time. Later, King Kang's plan was in the front, and Xiayang Hou's soldiers were in the back, and the cabinet headed by Zhao Gengnian once again put forward the view that "a country cannot be without a ruler for a day", which was supported by both civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

This time, the prince did not refuse, but said that the matter of Juzi will be discussed separately after the sacrifice.

In a nutshell, this time offering sacrifices to heaven is of great importance. In the event of a turmoil or disaster, the crown prince will most likely be misinterpreted as "not mandated by heaven", and the road to enthronement will be even more difficult and bumpy. .

My mother came to me later, and to put it bluntly, she also felt that Jingyan's work was not so reliable. If I could come forward to help, I would be more secure. Of course, it would be better if I could accompany the prince throughout the whole process.

I looked at my mother with a very headache and said, "Mother, I am Jing Yan's sister, not his nanny. Since he wants to sit in that position, he must be on his own, always guarding him as if he is not weaned. How should officials view it?"

The mother said: "Do you still remember your father's entrustment to you?"

"You have repeated this sentence seven times..." I coughed: "Don't say that I have given all the things that the father and the emperor granted me to the crown prince, and now the officials in the court no longer take me seriously, you let me I'm going to help, and I have to say how to help?"

The queen mother said: "Leave aside the matter of offering sacrifices to the heavens, and you can't do anything about the matter of Yaner marrying a concubine?"

This is the second thing. The crown prince Yù made the first assistant daughter as his concubine. Although Zhao Gengnian also wanted to do this, Zhao Yanran seemed to be reluctant to die. It was heard that Zhao Shoufu had been locked in the mansion and had been on a hunger strike for three days.

I let out a long sigh, "How can I be able to do something that my concubine doesn't care about? If I have the ability, I might as well open a shop in Shilipu in the capital, but anyone who has a wish can't be married. When a sweetheart comes to the door, it must be a lot of money, and it can solve the urgent needs of the national treasury..."

The queen mother's eyes swept sharply: "The crown prince has made it clear to this palace that you have abolished the country's business for personal reasons, but have you left behind your father's entrustment to you?"

"Even if you change the sentence, there is nothing I can do. The crux of the matter is not me at all..."

The queen mother slapped the table a few times and smashed the cup in her hand, "Okay! Sure enough, she is a good princess in this palace!"

The queen mother rarely gets angry. Seeing her like this at the moment, I can't help but tremble in my heart. She said, "Do you think this palace doesn't know your son? Regardless of whether you have any way to help Jingyan, you haven't stepped a step these few days. Donggong, isn't it because you don't want to deal with this matter? You, like your imperial brother, despise the so-called marriage, and always pursue those sincere feelings. Oh, in the eyes of this palace, those are just reasons for you to satisfy your personal interests. !"

"Mother..."

"One, for the sake of the children, disregarding their own responsibilities and walk away; the other, for the sake of the children, and turned against their younger brother," the mother trembled: "Don't you think that Jingyan is willing to carry this burden, and is willing to marry someone who doesn't like it? Your own woman?! You blame your brother for not caring about your feelings, so why have you ever cared about him?" After she said this, she walked away without waiting for me to express my views, leaving behind the little ladies in the palace. Silent as a cicada, he hurriedly picked up the pieces.
