What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 57
After bathing and changing, the two curled up under the covers and read a book.

Xie Chenyu took a picture album, on which were all kinds of beauties with different expressions.

Lin Ximeng took a storybook, one or two jokes and short stories, which made her giggle from time to time.

The atmosphere is actually so sweet.

Qingqing took a peek at the two of them, thinking about it.

If only it could be this good all the time

It's a pity that His Highness's thoughts are not in the backyard.

-

The little prince's illness affected everyone's heart.

Finally, on the night of the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the fever subsided and the baby woke up.

With good news comes bad news.

"The toxicity has penetrated into the bone marrow. You have to eat ginseng soup for life to save your life. In the future, it is best not to get married and do personnel affairs, so as to preserve your vitality."

It means that now this person has to take medicine for the rest of his life, and he cannot have offspring or bear children.

What kind of prince is this.

Concubine Qing fainted from crying on the spot, and the old emperor was also silent all night.

It wasn't until two days later that I gradually accepted the fact.

The decline of the emperor cast a shadow over the palace, and the atmosphere of the New Year was also diluted.

The queen was distressed for the table.

Make a vow to Xunmu and fast for 49 days to pray for the little prince, and it will start after the Lantern Festival.

"emperor"

The old queen comforted her husband carefully.

"Things are already like this, now the most important thing is to heal the little prince first."

"I killed him"

The old emperor wept.

"It was my selfishness that hurt him. My emperor is still so young, so he can obviously grow up healthy and healthy."

"How can you blame the emperor?"

In the emperor's bedroom, the old queen wiped her tears carefully.

"It can only be said that the child is unlucky, and the concubine also sent people to investigate. The poisonous bug was indeed from Qi Rui Palace that day. That Meng'er was bumped to death after confessing, probably because she was afraid of revenge."

The old emperor was suddenly excited and grabbed the queen's hand tightly.

"The mother and the son are vicious, please declare the decree quickly, concubine Chen will be relegated to the common people and sent to the cold palace, the third child will be dismissed from all positions, and will be imprisoned for life, not allowed to go out without summons, let alone enter the palace, I don't want to see that pair of mother and son again"

"emperor!"

The old queen suddenly felt chilled.

"Sister Chen is an old man by your side. Even if she made a mistake, she was confused for a while. Why doesn't the emperor spare them once?"

The old emperor stood up suddenly, and the fat on his body shook.

"Spare them their lives, then who will spare my emperor's life!"

"He has just turned [-] days and will take medicine for life!"

The old queen was speechless, and finally shook her head.

"The emperor is right, state-owned state law has family rules, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped."

"Your Majesty, let's rest, my concubine is going to see Sister Qing"

The queen put on a thick cloak and disappeared into the snowy night.

A series of footprints on the ground were quickly covered by heavy snow.

……

The New Year of Hongzhi's 22nd year was particularly deserted.

The old emperor claimed to be sick, and the queen said to be sick. Only Concubine Meng brought a few concubines to support the New Year's Eve banquet.

After watching the New Year's Eve, everyone's interest faded away.

When leaving the palace, the princes and the people around them looked at each other, no one spoke, but everyone could see each other's vigilance.

The third child was wronged, and everyone knew that there was another master behind him.

"Six Brothers"

"It's still early, how about going to the second brother's house?" Xie Chenke invited.

"No"

Xie Chenyu tightly wrapped himself in a big sable velvet cloak, which he bought from someone from the northwest with a lot of money.

Glossy and smooth, the whole body is jet black, without a trace of stray hairs, and the body is naturally luxurious, and the whole person is like the most shining nighthawk.

I have to say that the sixth child really enjoys it.

The clothes he wears are always the best. Miss Lin in the mansion is unparalleled in beauty and shocking, and there is an oiran's room outside the mansion.

It is enviable.

"Let's go, the fifth one is going too, we brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time," the second prince continued to invite.

The eighth prince behind was also curious and came over, shouting that he wanted to go too.

Xie Chenke patted his head: "Little children are not suitable for drinking, you should go back and rest well."

The eighth prince left angrily.

The fifth prince and Xie Chenyu looked at each other: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Xie Chenyu had no choice but to follow, reluctantly.

"Originally, I made an appointment with Mrs. Lin to..."

He coughed twice and deliberately didn't say anything, while the other two looked understood.

"Come on, it's not easy to invite you once, so let's have a few fewer drinks." Xie Chenke looked like a good brother.

The three brothers braved the heavy snow and rushed to the Second Prince's Mansion.

-

There are not many wine and dishes, but they are exquisite enough.

There are stewed mutton from Wang Laizi on the East Street, aged wine from Shibali Winery on the West Street, peanuts with salt and pepper, and fried small yellow croakers.

A small kang table was filled to the brim with good wine and good food.

"Brother didn't treat you badly, right? It's closed tonight, so I specially asked someone to book in advance"

"It really is a delicious dish", the fifth prince's eyes lit up.

Xie Chenyu glanced sideways, and curled his lips: "It's okay, although it can't compare with the Sichuan and Chongqing cooking skills in my house, it's barely good."

Xie Chenke pointed at him and smiled: "You are the only brother who will enjoy it. If I had known this, I would have to try it someday. Sixth brother, don't be stingy."

"Go ahead, try it and you'll know"

Xie Chenyu spread his hands, his face was always arrogant.

-

Hot wine and hot dishes, the small banquet was very lively, they were like brothers of ordinary people.

After discussing their parents, siblings.

Unavoidably talking about the old ten, Xie Chenke felt sad: "The third brother is confused, the old ten is our brother after all."

Lao Wu acted incoherently, and made complaints about it.

"I think I also blame the father for being biased. Who doesn't know that the third brother and Chen Niangniang are the least favored, why can't he be equal?"

"Don't talk about the crown prince, just give him a bigger mansion."

Xie Chenyu drank a glass of aged wine elegantly: "Everyone has his own life, it would be good if the old ten can recover one life, I think it is his own bad luck"

The three discussed for a while, and then talked about the position of the crown prince.

"Actually, it's really cool to be the emperor. If the second brother is not here, I would like to fight for it. Look at the father, he is so old, and he can still marry a young lady like Meng Fei." The fifth child was drunk yelling.

"It's not like us. If you want to be young, you can only go to singers and dancers. If you want to be noble, you can only promise to be a wife. Alas"

Xie Chenke covered his mouth with blame.

"Be careful, walls have ears, and it is a serious crime to spread this word."

"I'm just telling the truth, don't you want to be emperor?"

"I don't want to," Xie Chenyu remained expressionless.

He chewed the fat mutton, drank another glass of wine elegantly, and played with the star-studded walnuts in his palm.

"I don't want to be trapped in a small palace, dealing with those difficult veterans every day, it's too boring"

He hooked his lips into a smile.

"If either of you becomes the crown prince, I just want to be an idle prince. You don't need to send me on errands. Three to five thousand silver per year will be enough."

Xie Chenke chuckled lightly.

"Sixth brother is right, you are handsome, young and energetic, and have superb martial arts skills. You will have a chance in the future."

He raised his glass with temptation.

"Maybe my fifth brother and I will be begging for a living with you"

"This is impossible," Xie Chenyu said coldly.
