princess

Chapter 48

In Xiao Yuanmin's eyes, the place where the hunter shoots the first arrow belongs to his younger brother, and those people did it for the sake of harming his younger brother, so even if his younger brother can't go, Xiao Yuanmin will not give up that position to others.

It's just that these have to be calculated carefully. After Xiao Yuzuo fell asleep, Xiao Yuanmin went out lightly, but he didn't leave. He was in the outer room, because Emperor Xuanhe took away all the people who served Xiao Yuzuo today, and Xiao Yuanmin didn't leave either. Ways to ask questions.

Madam Zheng brought white fungus and lotus seed porridge, and persuaded, "Princess, use something."

Xiao Yuanmin responded, and stopped after using half a bowl, "Go and prepare a few gifts for the two younger sisters, and say that I have been slow today, and my brother will get well some other day, and I will personally go to make amends."

"Yes." Mother Xiaozheng blessed her body, "I will do it now, servant girl."

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, "Nurse Tang, how much do I have for my snow lotus cream?"

"If you go back to the princess, there are still three boxes." Madam Tang respectfully replied, three boxes are already quite a lot, and now those concubines in the harem want to receive this.

"Mommy Zhao, where is the crown prince?" Xiao Yuanmin asked after a moment of thought, she remembered that she had just delivered snow lotus ointment to Donggong.

Nanny Li took care of Xiao Yuzuo in the inner room, and Banmei was taken away by Li Dezhong for questioning, and now Nanny Zhao is the only one who can manage Xiao Yuzuo's things.

Zhao Nanny blessed Fushen and said, "The prince used it a little, now there is only one and a half boxes left."

"Then leave one box for younger brother, and send the remaining two boxes to Murong's house." Xiao Yuanmin made a decision, "What about the guards?"

"Just now Eunuch Li asked someone to answer. The guard who saved the crown prince's life is fine. He only needs three to five months of training before he can recover." Madam Zheng said.

"Nurse Tang, pack up some suitable medicinal materials and send them to the guard, and send 50 taels of silver to them so that they can take good care of the guard. When he recovers, transfer him to the prince's side." Xiao Yuanmin said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"In addition to snow lotus ointment, I also choose some good medicinal materials and send them to Murong's family." Xiao Yuanmin rubbed the center of his brows and said, "I will also choose some good ones from my small warehouse and send them to Murong's family, just say that I am grateful to Mr. Murong." For saving my brother's life."

You must know that those that can enter Xiao Yuanmin's small warehouse are all rare treasures, "I remember old general Murong likes tea, so send all the tea I just got to Murong's family."

"Yes."

"You guys go down and do it." Xiao Yuanmin didn't know if he was too nervous just now, but at this moment his whole body was weak, showing a kind of exhaustion.

"Princess, I think it's better for Nanny Lao Tang to go this way." Madam Zheng said in a low voice, "Those are all good, in case the maid is not careful, it will be bad if she touches or falls."

In fact, what's more important is that Nanny Tang is Xiao Yuanmin's nanny, and if she goes, it will appear that Xiao Yuanmin attaches more importance to it.

Not only is Murong Xi Xiao Yuzuo's companion, but Murong's family also has the position of admiral of the Nine Sects.

Xiao Yuanmin also thought of this reminder, looked at Tang Nanny, Tang Nanny said with a smile, "What's the matter, Mr. Murong saved the crown prince, this servant should go this way."

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, and then looked at Zhao Nanny again, "The prince is here, I'll trouble Zhao Nanny to go this way."

Although Nanny Li is the crown prince's nanny, Nanny Zhao is not only by the prince's side, but also served Queen Huiyi back then, so it is more appropriate for Nanny Zhao to go.

"Young servant will go now." Zhao Mama said respectfully, "It's just that His Royal Highness is not here... It is not up to the servant to decide what to give."

"I forgot about this one." Xiao Yuanmin smiled, she had indeed forgotten, "You go to Fengyang Pavilion together with Tang Nanny, if you find something suitable in my small warehouse, just tell Tang Nanny , directly chose to send it.”

"Yes."

Xiao Yuanmin and Xiao Yuzuo are brothers and sisters, so there is no need to worry about these things at this time, besides, what is taken from the small storeroom will be recorded in the account, so I am not afraid to explain it unclearly.

"Banxia, ​​you wait at the door, when Banmei comes back, call me over." Xiao Yuanmin ordered.

"Yes." Ban Xia bowed and retreated to the door, not only she went out, but also other servants in the palace retreated, the door was wide open and only Ban Xia was left guarding outside.

Seeing Xiao Yuanmin's uneasy expression, Mother Zheng persuaded, "Why don't you go and rest first, the princess?" There was Xiao Yuanmin's room in the East Palace, even if Xiao Yuanmin moved to Fengyang Pavilion, this point has not changed.

"No need." Xiao Yuanmin also found out his own problem, "Get someone to make a cup of strong tea."

Mother Zheng also knew that Xiao Yuanmin would not go to rest even if she persuaded her, so she sighed, and when she arrived at the door, she not only made the maid make strong tea, but also brought jujube cake, which was slightly sweet and usually Xiao Yuanmin didn't like it, but at this time Some, it will calm down.

Xiao Yuanmin took a big sip of the strong tea and used up half a piece of pastry to feel sober, "Nurse, help me keep an eye on it these days."

"Yes." Seeing that Xiao Yuanmin's face recovered, Madam Zheng said, "Princess must calm down."

"En." Xiao Yuanmin tapped the table with his fingers, "Nurse sit down first."

Madam Zheng didn't say much, she moved Yuandun and sat next to Xiao Yuanmin.

"Who do Mammy think will do it?" Xiao Yuanmin said with a bit of ruthlessness in her eyes, she already hated those who dared to harm Xiao Yuzuo to the bottom of her heart.

"It's hard to say." Madam Zheng also thought about it carefully, "On the surface, this matter seems to be the most beneficial to Concubine Shu and the fourth prince, but this is precisely what makes people suspicious. Concubine Shu and the others are so stupid?"

Xiao Yuanmin also thought of this point. You must know that the second prince is old and his mother is from a low family background. It is impossible for Emperor Xuanhe to let him shoot the first prey in hunting, and the sixth and seventh princes are too young. Going hunting is just a style, and they will never be let off, so Xiao Chengde who is slightly older than Xiao Yuzuo is left.

Moreover, Xiao Chengde's biological mother was Concubine Shu, who also helped the Empress Dowager manage the harem, so it was most likely that she wanted to take action against Xiao Yuzuo immediately, whether it was a motive or something else.

But would Concubine Shu be so stupid?People can immediately think that it was she and the fourth prince who made the move. If this was the case, Concubine Shu would not be able to give birth to the prince safely and come to this point today.

"My servant feels that Concubine Shu might be framed." Madam Zheng whispered her thoughts, "Recently, Concubine Shu and Concubine Lin... have quarreled on several occasions. "

The quarrel is just reserved, there is much more that can be done between the women in the harem.

"Even because of the handling of some palace affairs, the two of them disagreed." Madam Zheng reminded, "It's just that the Empress Dowager has been focusing on Concubine Jing's belly recently, and she doesn't touch any palace affairs."

Could it be Concubine Lin Gui who framed Concubine Shu?

Xiao Yuanmin was also confused, thought for a while and said, "Let's wait and see what Father Huang finds out."

"That's the only way to go." What Madam Zheng can do is to inquire privately. It's impossible to investigate with great fanfare, because Emperor Xuanhe has taken over, and she will investigate again, like a princess who doesn't trust Emperor Xuanhe.

"What is the princess going to do about the hunting?" Madam Zheng glanced at Xiao Yuanmin's expression, and was a little worried about her drinking so much strong tea, "This is the most important thing, don't let others take advantage of it."

"Father has already stated that he will not go to this hunting." Xiao Yuanmin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since my younger brother can't go, then... I will go." These words were easy to say, but it was like thunder in Madam Zheng's ears. .

"Princess." Madam Zheng couldn't help persuading, "This servant knows that the princess can't bear this tone, but the princess is already grown up now, she's already thirteen, and there are still two years left before she can reach her age."

Jiji said that he could refer to marriage, which is a big deal.

"Princess, what should you do if the limelight is too strong?" Mother Zheng really loves Xiao Yuanmin, otherwise she wouldn't have said these words.

One must know that being a consort of the Jin Dynasty is not so easy. Although it is not that he is not allowed to be an official, he cannot hold real power, and he cannot even leave the capital easily, let alone military power.

Therefore, many promising children are unwilling to honor the Lord, and want to work hard on their own. Although Emperor Xuanhe is the emperor, he has many things to consider.

Even if Emperor Xuanhe felt sorry for his daughter and chose the best one for Xiao Yuanmin, if the son-in-law didn't show it on his face, would there be resentment in his heart?

Moreover, the stronger Xiao Yuanmin gets favored, the more restrictions there will be on consorts. Those who are willing to marry the princess will have much ability.

In this hunt, if the princess replaced the crown prince, gossip would definitely be unavoidable. Even some ministers would not speak well of the princess, so the princess would really stand in the limelight.

Why Xiao Yuanmin doesn't know this, she knows better than anyone else that she is favored in this palace, but those people outside would rather marry the second sister than marry her, "My younger brother is only me, if I don't If he stands out, who else can stand up for him?"

Mother Zheng didn't know what to say, but to put it bluntly, if the crown prince was older and Emperor Xuanhe was older, the princess would not be so difficult. The situation is different from now, but the prince is young, and Emperor Xuanhe is in his prime, how much can be changed in two years.

"Some things, you can tell me, don't let my brother know." Marriage is a matter of the future, the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying, she is the eldest princess of Changping, even if the family does not want to marry, she will marry in the past He didn't dare to treat her badly, "My brother is young, and he has already put in a lot of thought for his studies, so he doesn't need to worry about some things."

"The servant understands."

"Prince." Nanny Li lowered her voice and looked at the prince. She could hear the words outside clearly, and she had to admire the eldest princess at this time.

Xiao Yuzuo lowered his head and looked at his hands for a long time before returning to the bed, "Mama didn't hear anything, and I didn't wake up, you know?"

"Yes."

Elder sister...Is it because I am too weak, let my elder sister work so hard as a girl, thinking of the second and third princesses, Xiao Yuzuo pursed his lips. Although he doesn't like the willfulness of the second princess, my elder sister doesn't even have the right to be willful.

Why not stop?Xiao Yuzuo knew very well in his heart that he could not let other brothers replace him, because he was the crown prince, the heir apparent of the Jin dynasty.
