Poor children

Chapter 282 Fire in the palace temple
一
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good." The little palace man suddenly broke in late at night.
"What's the big deal, so angry?" Chunya was alone in bed and scolded outside.

"Sorry, my dear, there's a fire in the temple at the back," the young palace attendant hurriedly replied.

"Which temple?" Chunya and Tianxing sat up from the bed after hearing this, "Is it the temple behind the palace?"

"Going back to the imperial concubine, it's true that the temple where my eldest aunt Guo lived her spiritual life caught fire," the young palace attendant said again.
"Go and put out the fire when it breaks out. Why are you shouting here at the top of your lungs?" Chunya scolded again.

"After all, the eldest aunt and the former queen live there. The younger one is afraid that something bad will happen. If he doesn't come to report it, Your Majesty will blame him," the young palace man said.

"You go ahead and put out the fire first. If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Tian Xing said, as if the poor boy and the eldest aunt had nothing to do with him.

The little palace man took the order and left.
The fire burned all night and didn't go out until dawn. The place where my aunt lives is still some distance away, and there is a bamboo forest. It's not a big problem, but the temple has been severely damaged and it has been burnt out of shape.
The eldest aunt stood outside the Main Hall, looking at the bronze and gold Buddha statue inside that was blackened by the fire. She couldn't help but sigh, "There are monsters in the court, the emperor is ungrateful, and even the Buddha can't stand it anymore."

"Don't worry too much, Auntie, just repair it again." The poor boy knew that Auntie was angry, and he had it too, but he had let go of it long ago.

"Did you report it last night?" the eldest aunt asked the little palace servant next to her.
"Master, I've been there. I just put out the fire. If you have anything else, let's talk about it today," the young palace man replied.

"Go and watch from the front. As soon as the emperor comes to court, invite him over and let him see for himself. There is a fire in the palace and the temple, so he shouldn't reflect on it." After that, the eldest aunt took the poor boy and walked to the small courtyard where she lived.

Jinfeng's condition has become worse and worse these days. She is always in a daze and is always in a daze. This Chunya has called her several times before she comes back to her senses.

"What on earth are you doing? Why do you act like you're deaf when I call you?" Chunya's face was full of displeasure.

"Girl, I'm overwhelmed. What's your order?" Jin Feng had no choice but to ask with all her might.
"Isn't there a fire in the temple behind last night? Go and see what it's like now," Chunya said

Jin Feng took the order to check it in person, and saw that after the fire, almost everything that could be burned was burned up.

Only some bronze statues are still there, but the gold foil on some of them has been baked away. It's really an ugly sight.

Jinfeng looked around and was about to go back, but saw Tianxing coming from a distance, so he hid secretly. Seeing Tianxing walking towards the back of his aunt's yard, he followed him secretly.
"Little Tianxing has grown so big." The eldest aunt was talking to the poor boy in the yard while enjoying the shade. When she saw Tianxing came and didn't even stand up, she said
But the poor boy immediately stood up and saluted, and never sat down again.
"The eldest sister has not seen me since she came to the Central Plains. I entered the palace. The eldest sister also lives here to avoid being seen. It is not called disturbing. It has been so many years since we met." said respectfully
"I have finished all the things I should do for Northwest China. I just want to live a quiet life in the future. It is best not to see anyone. I am happy to be quiet." The eldest aunt said, "It's just that today, I have something to ask for, but it is inconvenient for a monk to go out. "I invited your majesty to come over." "Is it to rebuild the temple? Sister, don't worry. Originally, this temple was a bit old, so it was easy to catch fire. This time I will definitely have someone build it to be grander and stronger, so that nothing like this will happen again." "Tian Xing knew what Aunt Yu was thinking, so he helped her express it.
"That's it." After the eldest aunt said this, she saw the pauper standing on the side, so she pulled her to sit down again. "You go back and prepare now. Work will start as soon as possible tomorrow. I want to see this temple completed as soon as possible."

Tian Xing respectfully took his orders and stepped back, without even looking at the poor boy during the whole process.

"Your Majesty must hate me so much that he didn't even look at me." Paoer was a little frustrated.

"I think the darkening of Yintang seems to be possessed by an evil spirit." The eldest aunt snorted softly. "You are such a smart person. No matter how big things happen, when have you ever disturbed your mind? How come you are so brave now just for a word of love?" there is none left?"

"I'm very confused right now. I don't want to think about anything, and I don't want to do anything." Paoer simply lay down on the table to hide his sadness.

"You'd better cheer up. Do you think that if you stay here quietly and don't cause trouble, people outside will let you go? No matter if you are a queen or not, your children are still here, and you are still a threat. , people outside will not let you go easily before they get what they want," the eldest aunt said
"Whatever she wants, let her take it. I don't care about anything now," said Pao'er

"I'm afraid she wants the status of a prince, and she wants her son to be an emperor," the eldest aunt said.
"No, that's what your Majesty promised. Hongwen's position as the crown prince is unshakable. How could she possibly seize the title?" The poor man suddenly sat up, with a rare light in his eyes.
Hongwen was her favorite child. Although he was about the same age as her, she had loved him as if she were her newborn son over the years. This was just because his mother passed away early and Hongwen was sensible and filial. It is natural for him to become the emperor in the future. This must be what his mother hopes in her heart.

Chunya, why should she?How could her son inherit the position of prince?

Furthermore, after all, the prince has been the prince for so many years and has already established his own status in the court. Many courtiers in the court have surrendered to him. What ability does Chunya have? Her son is still so young, and he Able to take the crown prince's position and replace him

"You are a mother yourself. Think about it, you are willing to do anything for your child, even to die." The eldest aunt was a little happy to see that the poor child had a light in his eyes.

"I do," Paoer replied without hesitation.
"Yes, you are willing. You are also a mother, so why wouldn't she be willing?" The eldest aunt sighed, "Only when her son becomes the emperor can she become the only woman in this dynasty. Otherwise, she will always be One day, your son becomes the emperor, how will you treat her?"

"How will I treat her? As long as she doesn't cause trouble, she can just live out her life in the palace in Chengde," Pao'er replied.

"Do you think she would agree to become an old woman with nothing, waiting to die of old age somewhere else? She has no power and might be bullied by her subordinates. No one wants to care who she is. Is that the life she wants? ?" the eldest aunt asked again

"Hongwen was not replaced just because she said she would replace him," Pao'er said again.
"You taught the prince, and you hired so many good masters for him. He is naturally the best. It's just that it's hard to defend against open and hidden attacks. The one who lives in Changle Palace now is not like the previous one. A person who is not scheming, just domineering, but she is not, her scheming and methods, her person, are unfathomable."
