Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Prince Guo originally planned to send the three members of the Zhen family southward a year ago, but at Zhen Yuandao's request, he finally stayed in Beijing until after the Lantern Festival.

Zhen Yuandao learned that the emperor had ordered his concubine and concubine to devote themselves to pure cultivation and was not allowed to see outsiders. If the prince could not arrange for the father and daughter to meet, he stopped thinking.

However, Zhen Mu and Yu Rao prepared a lot of things, wrote a letter, and asked King Guo to find a way to send them to Ganlu Temple and deliver them to Zhen Huan.

Prince Guo conveyed the emperor's wishes and understood that Zhen Yuandao was old. Now that he had been rehabilitated, if he had no intention of joining the court as an official, he could still appreciate that he was the grandfather of the sixth elder brother and appointed Prince Guo to take their family south. Place them properly.

After Zhen Yuandao heard the emperor's holy will, he knelt down on the spot and praised the emperor's grace.

After fifteen years, Zhen Yuan saw that it was really difficult to see his daughter and had no excuse to delay. Finally, he took his wife and daughter and followed Prince Guo on his way south.

The spring was cold and there was no way to travel by water, so we had to hitch a carriage and take the official road.

After passing the Huaihe River area, the weather became warmer and the scenery became better as we went south. Yurao became playful. Mother Zhen felt sorry for her daughter who had lived such an inhumane life for several years, so she begged Prince Guo to travel more slowly. Let Yurao have a good time to relax.

This request was considered too much. Zhen Yuandao and his wife knew that Prince Guo was on official business and would accommodate anything they could on weekdays, just to avoid causing trouble to Prince Guo.

But along the way, Prince Guo was really kind to their family and took care of everything, no matter how big or small. He was especially attentive to Zhen Yuandao and his wife.

Prince Guojun was already known as a charming man in the court. After several months of contact with him, Zhen Yuandao felt that he was approachable and meticulous, without any airs of a prince.

Only then did he dare to ask King Guo to let the carriage travel slower.

Prince Guo has no one to rely on, and since he left the capital, he has been struggling every day whether to tell the truth about Huan'er's situation.

However, he was accompanied by a maid and a group of guards, so there were too many people and he did not dare to reveal the inside story easily.

After all, the inside story of this matter is related to the lives and fortunes of all of them.

No matter what, after some time, the truth will be revealed.

The journey that was supposed to take more than half a month lasted for more than a month. At the end of February, when the grass was growing and the orioles were flying, Prince Guo took the three members of the Zhen family to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River called Nanxun.

The people accompanying them all wore ordinary clothes along the way. To outsiders, they were just a pair of elderly parents traveling south with their children, servants and maids.

The town has a small population, but it is also very lively. Yurao has never been to Jiangnan, let alone such a picturesque town, and it feels strange for a moment.

The house was bought by someone in advance. It is a five-bedroom house, which is more than enough to accommodate the three of them.

Zhen Yuandao and his wife were a little flattered when they saw the house, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Prince Guo smiled and calmed their panic with a few words.

The accompanying guards, servants, and maids were all transferred by the palace to facilitate the Zhen family's three people's food, clothing, housing, and transportation along the way. After arriving at their destination, they rested for a day or two before everyone headed back home.

Prince Guo took the three members of the Zhen family to look for Yazi, bought several servants, maids, and nursing homes, and then went to the Yamen and crossed Ming Road to settle down the three of them.

The ten thousand taels of silver allocated by the emperor have now been used to buy a house, furnish all the belongings, and hire servants. There are still more than six thousand taels left. King Guo deliberately added more, and collected more than ten thousand taels, which were delivered to Zhen. In the hands of afar.

After that, Prince Guo rushed back to the capital and returned his orders to the emperor. The emperor didn't ask any more questions and just said that Prince Guo did a good job.

Now spring has begun, in March, it is a time of neither cold nor hot. The eighth prince has been raised in the Shoukang Palace. The emperor and the queen mother have never mentioned the ownership of the eighth prince.

The emperor often visits Yikun Palace recently. Concubine Nian's health has deteriorated a lot since she gave birth to her son. She can't take any medicine easily. She was seriously ill again two years ago and has only recovered now.

The emperor also felt that he was not in good health. He was always sweating every day, and he was often sleepy and in poor spirits during the day.

The imperial doctor said that the serious illness last summer had damaged his roots, so he had been taking good care of himself. The great tragedy and anger a year ago finally caused the old illness, so he had been ill for a long time and was weak, so he had to treat it slowly. Replenish slowly.

The emperor didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was in his prime and could be easily taken care of even if he got sick.

Therefore, whenever the weather is fine and official duties are not busy, the emperor and his concubines go horse riding in the countryside together.

Perhaps he was in a bad mood. Recently, the emperor often went out of the palace, three or four times this month. The scenery in the suburbs was better. Each time, he rushed back to the palace after dark.

The Queen Mother felt that the emperor was not in good health, and Ji's concubine did not know how to admonish him, but only accompanied the emperor to misbehave, so she also had some opinions on Ji's concubine.

Ji's concubine went out of the palace with the emperor, and sometimes brought back some game, pheasants, hares, and so on. When they returned to the palace, they were given to Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Chang to taste them together in the palace.

The emperor was still happy to favor Concubine Jin and Rui Guiren as usual, and the remaining ones were Liu Guiren and Li Changzai. Yun Guiren favored Ping Ping, but Zhang Yaosheng had really fallen out of favor.

The deposed queen was imprisoned in Jingren Palace. Naturally, Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hui were in charge of the palace. The three of them were more kind, but there were many people in the harem, so naturally there were restless people.

Qi Guiren lost her child, and the emperor still had some affection for her. She knew that her child was gone, her family was in decline, and her backer had fallen, so she restrained her temper. It's just that her true nature is hard to change, and her stupidity and publicity cannot be hidden.

An Lingrong was also a little frightened in her heart. In the past, she could lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but now that the queen was deposed, she had no close friends in the palace, and she suddenly felt isolated and helpless.

The trick of saving people from water and fire was learned from the empress, and An Lingrong was very good at using it.

On this day, the emperor went to the concubine Jin's palace to have lunch, and concubine Jin actually presented her with a small glass of deer blood wine. Su Peisheng wanted to dissuade her, but saw that the emperor was very interested.

After lunch, Concubine Jin took the emperor into the inner room to take a nap, and Su Peisheng took the emperor down with understanding.

Unexpectedly, after a hearty and hearty meal, the emperor's interest did not diminish, but Concubine Jin begged for mercy in a tender voice.

The emperor was still not satisfied, so Concubine Jin stood up and put on a gauze, put her hands on the emperor's arms, and pulled him to a hidden dark room at the back of the inner room.

This dark room was specially arranged by An Lingrong. Although it was small, it was very interesting. There was no bed, but a very thick and soft blanket was spread on the floor, incense was burned to encourage fun, and the light was dim.

The emperor didn't know why, but his interest became even higher after entering the dark room.

Concubine Jin shyly leaned into the emperor's ear and said softly, "I am no match for the emperor's bravery, so let Sister Zhang take my place."

After that, he turned around and left, thoughtfully closing the thick curtains in the inner room.
