Prosperous Glory

Chapter 96

In autumn, it is the crisp autumn, under the tall osmanthus tree, the sweet fragrance of osmanthus permeates the air.The autumn sun hangs high, and there is a lazy atmosphere.

Under the osmanthus tree in full bloom, there are a few children in brocade clothes playing happily.This is in the palace, and the children are the masters of the palace. When they are playing, a group of maids are behind to protect them, lest the children bump into each other, they are told to wave back At the back, I just stared at a slender and graceful girl under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree opposite, and when I heard the girl greet me happily, several children rushed to her side, and the girl also yelled, "One two Three wooden people!" At the last word, she suddenly turned her head and looked back, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.

Several young children stopped at the same time, posing in various weird poses, with serious facial expressions!
There was only one child who was no more than five years old, and the fat all over his body trembled and turned into a small meat ball. At this moment, he couldn't stop, rolled forward several times, and lay on the ground without moving.

Seeing that it was he who fell, the maids behind were no different than their dead father, they wailed and came up to help the ancestor up, when he saw the little thing arching and arching, and slowly raised a bulging sheet of paper. Looking at the young girl who was only looking at him in front of him, he stretched out his hand and shouted, "Sister!" Seeing that his sister didn't move, he felt wronged for a while, and didn't ask a few maids to come over to help him. It rolled slowly, and struggled to get up like a little turtle, and then sniffed, and laughed, giggling, and threw itself into the girl's arms.

"Hey, my sweetheart, my dear." A Yuan, who just told the child to be self-reliant, now hugged his fat and strong brother with snot and tears, "I love my sister to death!"

The two siblings hugged each other and cried under the dull eyes of a group of onlookers.

After a long time, Ah Yuan felt that his performance was cool, so he hugged the fat brother and wiped his face and hands. Seeing his brother grabbing his clothes and laughing happily, he nodded his head and said helplessly, "Why? Always being silly?"

"If you say that again, the fifth brother might be even more stupid." The fifth princess walked over from a distance holding the whip, and she was in her prime at the moment. And because she is favored in the palace, she naturally has a proud and domineering demeanor, which is hard to forget when people see her. If she hadn't pointed out the marriage early, she would have already settled on her mother's Dingguo mansion. I'm afraid Jing Zhongxun Your marriage invitations are endless.At this time she came over, pinched the fifth prince's chubby little face, and saw that the fat brother buried his face in his sister's arms and was ashamed, so she smiled and said, "It's just you, who can play with him Come together."

A Yuandu is fifteen years old, and he can still play with a group of small things, which is also the admiration of the fifth princess.

A Yuan now has a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, resembling that of King Su, with a bit of gleam in them. He only glanced at the fifth princess, and she felt that her heart was burning because of this look.Thinking in her heart that she didn't realize that this younger sister was a scourge before, the fifth princess remained calm and only whispered, "Be careful, otherwise, your family's A Rong will enter the palace again." The longer A Yuan is, the more beautiful she is, The big guy is not blind, so he can naturally see that in Su Wang's mansion and the palace, the wives of noble families have often brought in teenagers of the right age, which made Arong's sense of crisis in his heart even greater.

However, Her Royal Highness the Princess hanged herself on a tree with a crooked neck, and these years have been almost like an ascetic.

"It's a good time to get together after entering the palace." A Yuan secretly smug, and then saw the fifth prince smiling at himself with a toothless smile. He said, "Look again, and I'll eat you!"

The fifth prince was the youngest son born five years ago by the empress Lao Pengshengzhu. Because he was the youngest child in the palace, he was doted on by the empress dowager and empress. However, this doting did not make the fifth prince's temperament arrogant. This child was born with a happy appearance, even if he fell, it was just a symbolic drop of a few golden beans, and then he laughed happily again.The queen mother likes him to be cute and cute, and he is very well-behaved. She has been raising him in the queen mother's palace all these years, so she is very close to A Yuan.

Kuang Ayuan's temperament is also fond of talking and laughing, the two siblings are very close, knowing that the elder sister's words are duplicity, the fat prince clicked his mouth, grinned like a puppy and said flatteringly, "Osmanthus fragrans, cake. "

When these words came out, except for A Yuan who believed deeply that this younger brother had a future, not to mention the fifth princess, even the maids couldn't bear it.

Who would have thought that Princess Rongshou, who is the most favored by the emperor, loves osmanthus, so much that she even opened a corner in the Royal Garden to plant many osmanthus trees. It is because Her Royal Highness especially likes sweet-scented osmanthus snacks?Could it be that the princess is hungry in the palace?However, since the fifth prince was able to eat snacks, the ever-expanding osmanthus tree in the imperial garden vividly expressed the deep feelings of foodies. At this time, the fifth princess had already covered her face, and the slender and graceful girl was pulling her fat brother hands, looking up at the sweet osmanthus tree with the best flowers.

"Hurry up and pick some flowers to make snacks for my aunt and uncle!" Behind, there was an eight or nine-year-old boy who looked at the pair of young and extremely senior ancestors helplessly, and turned his head to order.

Later, the maids came to their senses and hurriedly agreed, and went to pick these sweet-scented osmanthus one after another.

"Pick more, and make some sweet-scented osmanthus sauce later to make sweet-scented osmanthus tofu." A Yuan sucked his saliva and said with experience.

"Sister Huang is right!" The new generation of fat boys in the palace clapped their hands and shouted.

"Enough," the fifth princess saw the strange expressions on the faces of the next few nephews, rubbed the corners of her eyes, took her sister's hand, and sighed under her puzzled eyes, "Your elder's majesty What about it?" Now they all have nephews, how can they be so unsteady?

"Is aunt dignified?" A Yuan turned his head with a smile, and his eyes lingered on the faces of his nephews.The aunt's malicious gaze shocked the boys, knowing that aunt's heart is small, they all nodded immediately, among them, A Yuan's nephew, Feng Qing's eldest son, Feng Jun, hurriedly said with a smile, "Auntie is Auntie, it’s all in our hearts.” After finishing speaking, the young man who had just let go of his words asked, “Isn’t it right?”

That young man was Feng Zhou, the son of Princess Shun. At this time, he looked at A Yuan who was staring at him with gentle eyes, tilted his head and smiled, and then turned around and said seriously, "Yes."

The group of remaining radish bosses jumped up and down, as if aunt's position in their hearts was more important than that of their parents.

The fat prince stood with his aunt who was admired so much, he raised his neck and felt the gaze of admiration together, feeling that he was very majestic at this time.

The fifth princess was defeated by these two shameless people. She wanted to whip the two brats with a horsewhip, but she was still reluctant to do so. Going to the palace, he said in a low voice, "The emperor's sisters-in-law are all here today, you hid yourself, I don't know if someone is showing courtesy in front of the emperor's grandmother right now." After finishing speaking, he sneered again and again, showing how much Not good at points.

"She is willing to be courteous, that's all, it's all to make the emperor's grandmother happy." A Yuan didn't take it seriously, and just said with a smile, "Didn't the emperor's sister also come out?"

"I don't want to see her face." Fifth Princess said coldly.

She and Ah Yuan were older and were about to get married, so the Queen Mother's side inevitably felt empty, so someone moved their minds and wanted to intervene in order to win the Queen Mother's favor.But, where is such a cheap thing?Not to mention others, even the Queen Mother herself doesn't like it very much.

The Empress Dowager is old, and her energy is not very strong. Now that the fifth prince is raised in front of her, and others are dangling in front of her, it is really a headache for the Empress Dowager.This is because the fifth princess was so cold when she saw the queen mother was unmoved, otherwise she would have whipped that person hundreds of times with her domineering temper.

Seeing that the fifth princess hated her, Ah Yuan didn't reply, just pulled Fat Boy's little paw, turned around and asked Feng Zhou who was silently walking beside her, "Is the third sister-in-law okay when you go home these few days?"

"Xu side concubine made another fuss, but asked mother to slap her face twice, and went to complain to father and king." Feng Zhou walked closer to A Yuan without any trace, feeling happy in her heart, and then revealed a faint smile. Come smile.Because Shun Wang is not a thing, this child is a bit precocious, and looks more stable than the smiling cousins.Among the nephews, she also had the best relationship with A Yuan. Seeing A Yuan looking at her worriedly, Feng Zhou tilted his head and smiled, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, aunt, don't you know about father's temperament? Dare to say it."

Concubine Shun gave birth to a son as she wished, and King Shun felt that Wu Lei was so angry, seeing that Concubine Shun had a son, she was more and more disregarding herself. Princess Shun was fighting, but what he didn't expect was that the birth mother of the concubine's eldest son had already been taken care of by Princess Shun. Wang scolded the mud for not being able to support the wall.It's just that Concubine Shun didn't care much about these things, she just asked King Shun if she dared to really abolish the concubine and establish a concubine.

Are you kidding me?

The sage was almost abolished back then, and that was still in sight. The most taboo of the bastard was to rise to the top. If King Shun dared to do this, it was simply the rhythm of death.

King Shun called Concubine Shun and the battery was completely dead. It was especially painful for him, but it was the sage who immediately set up a phoenix boat to be the son of King Shun, officially confirmed his status, and called Shun Wangtu to sigh.

Even with his eight hundred guts, he would not dare to compete with the saint.

Prince Shun's mansion is secure, but King Shun is still unwilling, so he treats Concubine Shun's mother and son coldly, and only favors concubines. Among them, the side concubine from the Xu family gets the most favor, and she is not good at thinking, especially likes to be in front of Concubine Shun. Looking for smoke, the life of Shun Wangfu is also lively now.

A Yuan really didn't understand what the Concubine Shun's son was doing to keep the King Shun.I think back in the older generation, there was a tough princess in the clan, and her husband was also a bastard. This princess was a ruthless person, and he just endured it until he gave birth to a son. After killing her husband and mother-in-law, she made her son a marquis. From then on, her life went smoothly, and her life was extraordinarily frank.Although King Shun is his cousin, he has become more and more active in the past few years, and secretly summoned a group of people in the court, which annoyed A Yuan very much.

Seeing the disapproval on A Yuan's face, Feng Zhou smiled wryly in his heart.

Princess Shun endured for so many years, but for his grandmother Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui is kind to Concubine Shun, although she has not been close to Prince Shun these years, but after all, it is a mother and child, born after a hard pregnancy in October, and it is fine to be cold on weekdays. If her son dies, an honest woman like Concubine Hui will just I'm afraid I'm going to die of grief.Princess Shun didn't want to make her mother-in-law sad, so she had no choice but to endure King Shun.Thanks to her strong nature, King Lian Shun dared to treat him coldly and did not dare to do anything else, otherwise, if he changed to another person, he would lose ten years of life.

"You still have us, don't bother with irrelevant people." Seeing that Feng Zhou was a little sad, A Yuan comforted him softly.

What is it that the father has become an insignificant person?Feng Zhou already had no affection for his ruthless father in his heart, so he just responded in a low voice.

He has a mother, a grandmother, and many people who are kind to him. This is already a lot, and no matter how much he has, it is still a bit of a luxury.

The gloomy eyebrows melted away, and Feng Zhou smiled and said to A Yuan, "It would be even better if my aunt would ask my great-grandmother to let me relax in the palace for a few days."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." A Yuan patted his chest, then looked at the sky and said, "Your fifth uncle can also help."

"It's on Uncle!" The fat prince, who had been eager to speak for a long time, patted his chubby belly, raised his head and said proudly.

"Thank you Uncle Wu." What if I feel very happy every time I see Uncle Wu?Feng Zhou suppressed a burst of laughter, thanked Fifth Uncle seriously who was blinking and looking at him, and looked back at the maid who was holding a bunch of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, and felt joy in her heart, and couldn't help but say: On the offense, he leaned over and pinched Fifth Uncle's little cheek. After that, he quickly chased after a few cousins.

Seeing that these little ones are brothers and sisters, Ah Yuan felt very relieved in his heart, and felt a strange feeling of comfort from Lao Huai. Afterwards, he felt that he had gone through a lot of vicissitudes, coughed, and covered his little face Fat Boy, who was stunned, rolled all the way into the Empress Dowager's palace, and saw that in front of the Empress Dowager, Empress Defei was sitting on top, and below were several concubines, smilingly pulling Fifth Prince to invite the elders. Only then did he pull the fat boy into the arms of the queen mother, and shouted, "Grandmother!"

"Ouch, dear Aijia!" The queen mother is now talking more and more like A Yuan, saying that the old and the old are much lighter than before, and only push the two little ancestors desperately into her arms She hugged her, and then asked with a smile, "Where did you come back from, rolling like a mud monkey?" Her eyes fell on the fifth prince's body of mud, and after listening to General A Yuan, the fat boy After being so fat that he rolled on the ground, he grinned from ear to ear and gasped, "This is a bit of A Yuan's former character."

It was obvious that it was green out of blue, Her Royal Highness felt that she was not so fat that she could not see her legs back then, so she decided to refute.

"Brother Zhou just pinched his grandson's face!" Just like his sister, the fat boys especially like to pretend to be older, and the fat prince complained with a chubby face.

Princess Shun covered her eyes and couldn't help laughing. After a long time, she laughed in the helpless eyes of the queen, "This is my minister who is going to apologize to the queen mother." It is very strange that this uncle is younger than his nephew.

The fifth prince who was born at the same age as the queen was struggling for her life.Because the sage has favored him all these years, this is almost like the crystallization of love. Because of this, he doted on the fifth prince a lot. Seeing the fat boy triumphantly, he shook his head and said, "If you want to blame it, blame him. Steamed bun face, who doesn't miss it?" After finishing speaking, he went up to pinch his son, and slowly revealed a smile in his son's eyes that were full of tears.

There are a few accompanying concubines below, not daring to be the first bird at this time, so they apologized and laughed along with them, listening to the words of the concubine and the queen.

Concubine Hui hugged her good grandson contentedly, with a look on her face that everything is enough, her eyes are full of happiness, at this time she said to Feng Zhou repeatedly, "This time, stay with grandma in the palace, don't go back and ask grandma to see you." I don't care about you." Feng Tong is not filial, her current love is all on Princess Shun and Feng Zhou, and they cannot be separated for a while.

Feng Zhou complied, and then roguely bowed to Fat Boy Fifth Uncle, "Don't dare next time."

"Next time, you can pinch the other side." In fact, the fat guys think that pinching the face is a way of expressing love, and pinching is good for physical and mental health.

A Yuan had already rolled beside the queen mother with laughter and was speechless. At this time, she asked the queen mother to bow her head and feed her some tea. Then she wiped her tears and said with a smile, "It's really the waves behind the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead. In the front, I haven't So charming."

"Miss Huang is really humble." Fat Boy turned his head flatteringly, and said modestly, arching his fists.

The queen mother only held the two little ones in her arms. Seeing the two talking childishly, she paused for a moment, then turned her head and said softly to the queen, "Although it's not as hot as summer outside, it's not very refreshing. You can use it tomorrow." Prepare some cool things for the children, don’t make them feel uncomfortable.” Seeing that the queen agreed, he smiled and looked down, and saw that his children and grandchildren were all in his eyes, and he felt happy in his heart and became more energetic. The prince and concubine asked, and only when the question was almost finished, she said to the concubine who was sitting down with a smile, "Is your body better?"

"It's all over." Although the crown princess said this, her face was still a little pale. A Yuan took a look and knew that it was a loss of energy and blood. He was also concerned, and hurriedly said to the queen mother, "Sister-in-law Your body is important, so you should ask the imperial doctor to take the pulse of the emperor’s sister-in-law, so that we can rest assured.” A few years ago, the princess gave birth to a daughter, but due to other people’s advice, the child was born prematurely, and the tired child was not as big as the princess Kang Jian, these years, the crown prince has cared about her every day, and the palace also values ​​her body, but just don't be tired right now, otherwise the body will not be able to bear it.

"As I said before, there are too many concubines, and there are always troubles!" Seeing the princess like this, the empress dowager naturally felt distressed, so she turned her head and sighed to the empress, "This child has suffered."

Back then, the crown princess was pushed by a side concubine who had a different heart, and she almost killed two people.Although the side concubine and her family were all punished by the furious saint, no matter how many people died, the crown prince's body would be in a bad state.Because of this, the empress felt uncomfortable, and she refused to be a concubine for her daughter-in-law these years. Even the prince felt ashamed of his wife, seeing her dragging her sickly body back and forth to take care of the housework for him, he didn't want to do it again. Hurting his wife's heart, his sexuality has faded a lot over the years, and he spends most of the time by his wife's side.

The princess doesn't know whether the current life is good or bad, but although the prince is not in good health, but the prince is willing to guard himself, she is still happy in her heart. He didn't take it very seriously, seeing the Empress Dowager sighing, she hurriedly smiled and said, "It is a great blessing for my son to be sympathized by the elders, if this is still suffering, then in this world, who would want to live a happy life? Seeing that the queen seemed to have something to say to herself, she said respectfully, "The emperor's grandmother loves and cares for the son and minister, and the son and minister are all in their hearts."

"Listen, you are so virtuous and filial." The queen mother sighed.

This is making face for the crown princess, who will tear down the stage among the princesses?He just smiled and listened to the empress dowager and the queen praising the concubine. A Yuan listened with his ears pricked up, then retracted his ears in peace, and lay still on the empress dowager's lap.She has always been on good terms with the queen's wives, so there is no image at all, she just let herself go on the empress dowager's lap with the fifth prince, and after a while, the two brats rolled together, head to head in a drowsy .Because the two were obviously tired, the queen mother was not willing to talk anymore. Seeing that she was tired, she obviously wanted to take the two children to the back to rest. Concubine De is ready to return to the palace.

Seeing the queen getting up, the concubines and the prince and concubine all got up to leave, and just when they were about to leave together, they heard a girl's cheerful laughter from outside, as sweet as a silver bell, and amidst the laughter, I saw a Wearing a pale pink twill dress, the stunning girl with fluttering butterfly wings on her head and embedding red jewels and golden steps walked in quickly, carefully holding a small stewing pot in her hand, and said with a smile, "Grandmother, this is the lotus seed soup that my granddaughter specially made for you. Try it, does it taste right?"

"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager's complexion did not relax because of the girl's attention, she fell down suddenly, and said in a low voice, "I didn't see your sister and brother were asleep!"

The empress dowager's stern voice was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing all the joy on the girl's face.

The fifth princess stood condescendingly beside the queen mother, seeing that the girl was dumbfounded by being scolded by the queen mother for holding the stew pot, she couldn't help showing a smile.A Yuan secretly opened his eyelids, saw the smile of the fifth princess, and felt that for the embarrassing good mood of Huang Jie, she should do her best and continue to fall asleep.
