princess

Chapter 12

However, although Zhao Mama doesn't know what Queen Huiyi said to the princess, but seeing the princess's current appearance, she is devoted to protecting her younger brother and hiding her clumsiness, while she is on the cusp of the storm, she can figure out that what Queen Huiyi said is very important to the princess. Impact.

They are siblings, and the elder sister should protect the younger brother, but... I don't know because I have been with the princess for a long time, and seeing the expression on the princess's relaxed face after getting sick, Mother Zhao only feels distressed, and the princess is just a child what.

One year passed quickly, men and women had different seats at the age of seven, Xiao Yuanmin was already six years old now, and Emperor Xuanhe had already begun to choose a place for his daughter to live without needing to be reminded.

The two closest palaces to Emperor Xuanhe, one is the East Palace and the other is Qingning Palace. Qingning Palace has been empty since the death of Queen Huiyi, and the East Palace has always been the residence of the prince. Xiao Yuanmin and Xiao Yuzuo were allowed to live together Living in the East Palace caused a lot of people to gossip, even the empress dowager opposed it. At that time, Emperor Xuanhe thought that empress Huiyi had just died, and these people bullied their children and lost their temper, so no one dared to speak.

"Rename the Ganlu Hall...Fengyang Pavilion, give Changping the eldest princess the residence, change the Ningyun Hall to the Prince's Residence, the second prince Xiao Chengxuan and the fourth prince Xiao Chengde moved here, and the second princess Xiao Qingrong moved to the Princess Hall." Emperor Xuanhe thought for a while. commanded.

When he was in court, Emperor Xuanhe suddenly said, "Prince Xiao Yuzuo and Princess Changping Xiao Yuanmin are descendants of the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, regardless of age, all princes must salute Xiao Yuzuo, the heir of the Yuan Empress."

As soon as these words came out, although the people in the court hall were a little surprised, they looked at each other and did not say a word. This is good, and the prestige of the prince has been established since childhood.

"From the beginning of this dynasty, except for the two-character title of the princess who was born after the Yuan Dynasty, the other princesses were given single-character titles before they married to show the dignity of the princess." Emperor Xuanhe looked calm. Such a notice, "All the princes will move to the prince's office after they are four years old, and they will be enlightened in a unified way."

The people in the court didn't even dare to whisper. Emperor Xuanhe was very satisfied with the effect. Now it's not the time when he first ascended the throne. "The princess moved to the princess hall at the age of seven, enlightenment."

"The crown prince and the first-born princess are not in this case." Emperor Xuanhe spoke slowly, "I will choose another teacher to teach."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Not long after retiring from the court, all the concubines in the harem knew the news. Concubine Shu hugged her son and cried, "It's useless to be a mother concubine..." They are all His Majesty's sons, why did they separate out such a three-six son? Jiuwai, concubine Shu's heart hurts when she thinks that her son will be saluted by the prince who is younger than him.

Concubine Shu is now full of unwillingness, and has forgotten that Emperor Xuanhe ordered all the princes to move out when they were four years old, and Xiao Chengde happened to be four years old now.

Concubine Rong sighed when she heard the news, her son is not young anymore, although she was a bit reluctant to move to the prince's place, she was not so worried, "Dongmei, help Xuan'er pack things."

"Yes."

Xiao Chengxuan and the others smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, the son will come to greet his mother every morning."

Concubine Rong smiled, "Yeah." Suddenly thinking of Emperor Xuanhe's words, he ordered, "Although the prince is young and is your younger brother, he is a descendant of the Empress Yuan, and he is also the prince. You must respect the prince from now on, you know? "

"My son understands." Xiao Chengxuan has no possibility of enthroning at all. Although Concubine Rong was conferred the title of concubine because of giving birth to Xiao Chengxuan, her status is very low. If Queen Huiyi hadn't pityed her, she would not even be able to raise her own child.

Xiao Chengxuan naturally understands this. Now he wants to wait for an adult to leave the palace and build a mansion, and wait for more than ten years to take his mother out to raise him. As long as other things are not counted on him and his mother, he will not take care of them. .

The pair of siblings...you have to pay as much as you enjoy the honor. At the beginning, Emperor Xuanhe said that he would not enter the harem for a year because of Queen Huiyi's funeral. Now that the one-year period has passed... I am afraid that there will be no peace. .

Thinking of this, Xiao Chengxuan looked at Concubine Rong with some worry. He knew his mother well, and it was because of his understanding that he was worried, for fear that someone would trick his mother into doing something that would make his father angry.

But looking at Concubine Rong who led someone to pack things carefully, Xiao Chengxuan sighed, he had to work harder and take care of him more.

Emperor Xuanhe knew that one year was the limit. If he didn't favor his concubines, not only the empress dowager, but even the ministers would write a letter. The royal family has no selfishness.

"Go to Concubine Lin's for dinner tonight." Emperor Xuanhe lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, this is considered to be a face to Concubine Lin, after all, he lived with her on the first night.

Concubine Lin was not very proud of herself. After grooming and washing, she lay on the imperial concubine chair and watched Shuanghua clean up. She knew that Emperor Xuanhe was satisfied with what she had done this year.

"Ma'am, is it too plain?" Shuanghua asked.

Concubine Lin Gui smiled without explaining, "Prepare the emerald green one."

"Yes." Shuanghua is not smart, but she is loyal and careful, and most of Lin's affairs are left to her.

When Emperor Xuanhe came, Concubine Lin Gui was already waiting at the door. She was dressed in emerald green clothes, which made her look beautiful, and the impatience in her heart subsided a little, "Go in."

"Yes." Concubine Lin Gui followed Emperor Xuanhe into the house, only then did the servants in the palace dare to stand up and close the door from the outside.

Shuanghua brought a few court ladies to kneel in the room to greet Emperor Xuanhe, but Emperor Xuanhe didn't look at it at all, and said directly, "Get up."

Just as Shuanghua was about to go forward to help Emperor Xuanhe take off his coat, she was stopped by Concubine Lin. She helped Emperor Xuanhe take off his coat by herself, and Shuanghua took it and put it away.

Emperor Xuanhe frowned, and then eased back. Concubine Lin Guifei has done well this year, both Xi'er and Xuanxuan, took the handkerchief and wiped their hands, and said, "Eat."

"Yes."

Shuanghua served Concubine Lin Guifei and cleaned her hands. The maids had already prepared the food. Concubine Lin Guifei served Emperor Xuanhe the dishes before sitting down. Li Dezhong waited on Concubine Xuanhe behind Emperor Xuanhe, while Shuanghua served Concubine Lin Guifei.

Emperor Xuanhe was only [-]% full after eating. Li Dezhong brought warm tea and asked Emperor Xuanhe to rinse his mouth. Concubine Lin Guifei saw that Emperor Xuanhe had put down the chopsticks, so she didn't use them any more, and asked the maid to remove the things.

Concubine Lin Gui said softly, "Does Your Majesty want to see Qingrong?"

"En." Emperor Xuanhe responded, Concubine Lin Guifei was overjoyed, she glanced at Shuanghua, Shuanghua bowed and then retreated.

Not long after, the nanny came over with Xiao Qingrong in her arms. When Emperor Xuanhe saw it, he felt that Concubine Lin Gui was too spoiled for children. Not to mention Xiao Yuanmin, but Xiao Yuzuo, who is the youngest now, walks by himself if he doesn't go too far.

And Xiao Qingrong, who is only one year younger than Xiao Yuanmin, has to be hugged by the nanny even for such a few steps.

Concubine Lin Gui took the child from the mother's arms, "Qing Rong greets Father and Emperor."

Because of frequent illnesses, Xiao Qingrong was much thinner than children of the same age. She wore a light pink dress and gave the Emperor Xuanhe the Wanfu ceremony in a decent manner. Then she raised her head and looked at Xuanhe with anticipation in her eyes. Emperor, with a sweet smile, "Father, have you come to see Qingrong?"

"En." Although Emperor Xuanhe didn't like Xiao Qingrong's being too delicate, but she was his daughter after all, he still had a bit of love for her, so he waved his hand and asked Xiao Qingrong to come over, "Is Qingrong good lately?"

"Good boy." Xiao Qingrong was cautious, "My concubine taught Qingrong how to study and how to embroider..."

"Oh?" Emperor Xuanhe became a little interested, "What books did you study?"

"I have already studied "The Biography of Gu Lie Nu", and now I am studying "The Commandments of Women". Xiao Qingrong looked at Concubine Lin Gui before she dared to speak.

The smile on Emperor Xuanhe's face became more and more loving, "Very good, when you finish learning "The Commandments for Women", the emperor will reward you."

"Daughter doesn't dare." Xiao Qingrong's voice was a little low, "Daughter should learn these things, how dare you ask for a reward from the father, the father can come to see the daughter is already the joy of the daughter growing up."

"Really sensible." Emperor Xuanhe said.

Xiao Qingrong glanced at Concubine Lin Gui, and when she saw her nodding, she smiled again.

After saying a few more words, Emperor Xuanhe asked Nanny to take Xiao Qingrong down, Li Dezhong took out the book that Emperor Xuanhe had read recently, and Emperor Xuanhe began to read.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Emperor Xuanhe said, "You are a noble concubine, and there are some things that you don't need to do yourself."

Anyway, people's hearts are biased, even the emperor who is known as the real dragon emperor is no exception. At the beginning, Queen Huiyi embroidered purses for Emperor Xuanhe and helped him change clothes. Emperor Xuanhe only thought that they were husband and wife. , but if it was Concubine Lin Gui, I felt that she was trying to curry favor.

After all, the time when Emperor Xuanhe and Empress Huiyi got married was the worst time for him. The husband and wife supported each other, and no one dared to trust and escaped the most turbulent moment tremblingly.

The first emperor had eleven sons in total, seven of whom died at that time.

And when Concubine Lin Guifei entered the mansion, everything got better, and I don't know whether it was because her son died too much or something else. At that time, the first emperor had already begun to value Emperor Xuanhe who was still a prince.

Another point is that Queen Huiyi is a wife, and Concubine Lin Gui is also a concubine, how could it be the same.

Most importantly, the living will never be able to defeat the dead. In the eyes of Emperor Xuanhe, the deceased Queen Huiyi is perfect.

Concubine Lin Gui is also a smart person. In fact, she intends to imitate Queen Huiyi. She remembers when she saw Queen Huiyi helping Emperor Xuanhe tidy up clothes. Emperor Xuanhe had tender eyes, but what Emperor Xuanhe said... let her My heart became cold, "The concubine knows."

"En." Emperor Xuanhe responded, "Qing Rong is not small..."

Concubine Lin Gui didn't know what Emperor Xuanhe's plan was, she was afraid that Emperor Xuanhe would let her daughter move to the princess hall immediately, so she interrupted Emperor Xuanhe cautiously, "Qing Rong has been in poor health..."

"You can figure it out." Emperor Xuanhe, who wanted to say a few words, lost the interest to speak.

Concubine Lin Gui heard Emperor Xuanhe's displeasure, and hurriedly said, "The concubine is just such a daughter, so she is inevitably a little nervous. Your Majesty is Qing Rong's father, so naturally he is dedicated to Qing Rong. The concubine is stupid, if You have offended His Majesty, please punish him."

Emperor Xuanhe responded, but didn't say anything about Xiao Qingrong, "You don't need to worry about Fengyangge, Li Dezhong is watching, you just make arrangements for the prince's house and the princess hall."

"Yes."

Concubine Lin's heart tightened, and there was a bit of resentment in her eyes. The child born to Empress Huiyi is precious and precious. Isn't her child the blood of Emperor Xuanhe?Biting her lips, her voice softened a bit, "I feel ashamed when I think of sister Huiyi's demeanor when she was still there. If sister Huiyi was here, Your Majesty wouldn't have to worry so much. This concubine is too dull. It's not as good as my sister in case."

Emperor Xuanhe softened his face, "Hui Yi is naturally unparalleled, you don't need to compare with her, I am very satisfied with what you have done this year."

"As long as His Majesty is happy."

Because of Concubine Lin Gui's petty catering, this evening was boundless joy.
