princess

Chapter 71

Zhang Zheng died and committed suicide. Emperor Xuanhe was furious and wanted Zheng Tao. This time, he was not only wanted in the Jin Dynasty, but this notice with his portrait was sent to all countries.

Any country that captures Zheng Tao or his family members will be greatly thanked by the Jin Dynasty.

And Zheng Guo was even more frightened, and some people who lived on the border were already planning to move their families.

Emperor Xuanhe personally went to the gate of the city to pick up Xiao Yuzuo and Xiao Yuanmin back to the palace. At this time, no one would ask unknowingly why the eldest princess came down from the crown prince's chariot if she didn't go to the temple to pray.

Emperor Xuanhe took Xiao Yuanmin's hand first, looked carefully before saying, "I'm thin, I'll make up for it after returning to the palace." He had already heard what happened from the dark guard.

"Father, my daughter is fine." Xiao Yuanmin smiled brightly, without any gloom.

Emperor Xuanhe nodded, and said some things when he returned to the palace. He had already asked the imperial doctors to prepare, then looked at Xiao Yuzuo, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Yuzuo's shoulder, and then took their hands and walked up the dragon chariot together .

Xiao Yuanmin didn't refuse this time, it was Emperor Xuanhe showing his love for the prince and princess.

The dragon chariot is very big, and it doesn't look crowded for three people. As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Yuanmin threw himself into the arms of Emperor Xuanhe, "Xuanxuan will never see his father again."

Emperor Xuanhe touched his daughter's head, "Father will definitely avenge Xuanxuan."

"Yeah." Xiao Yuanmin said in a low voice, "Xuanxuan directly knocked my younger brother out. At that time, I thought that if Xuanxuan was gone, my younger brother would still be with my father..."

Emperor Xuanhe felt a twinge in his heart, "Father was almost scared to death when he first found out, you are all good boys, you must bring all the guards with you when you go out."

"Yes." Xiao Yuanmin said with infinite dependence, "Xuanxuan will never leave Father Emperor again."

Xiao Yuzuo sat on the side, and said at this time, "It's Xi'er who is incompetent and acts recklessly. With some cleverness, she almost harmed my sister."

Emperor Xuanhe nodded, "It's very good for you to realize that you have a special status in the palace, and you haven't encountered any setbacks. Even if you often go outside the palace to understand the people's conditions, there are people who protect you. This time, go back and reflect on yourself. "

"Yes." Xiao Yuzuo responded, "Let Father worry."

"You are all still children." Emperor Xuanhe sighed, and said softly, "I think you were only that big when Lin'er left, and you all grew up in a blink of an eye, but no matter how old you are, in the eyes of the emperor, you It's still the child crying for me to ask for a queen mother."

Xiao Yuanmin's eyes turned red, "Daughter still remembers, when the queen mother just left, the father endured the grief and took care of me and my younger brother..."

"You are all treasures left to me by Lin'er." Emperor Xuanhe patted Xiao Yuanmin's head, "Xuanxuan is about to die, Father will definitely choose a good son-in-law for you."

Xiao Yuanmin lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the emotions in his eyes, and replied, "Father is in charge of everything."

"Father, I want to see her first. If I feel bad, I won't let him marry my sister." Xiao Yuzuo said.

"it is good."

The father and son talked happily. Xiao Yuanmin knew that his father and younger brother cared about him, but he was upset and couldn't speak. He could only lower his head. Emperor Xuanhe and Xiao Yuzuo thought she was shy, looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Back in the palace, several imperial doctors checked Xiao Yuanmin and Xiao Yuzuo carefully again, and after prescribing some tonics, they withdrew. Emperor Xuanhe was completely relieved.

Xiao Yuzuo talked about Murongxi and the dark guard, and Emperor Xuanhe said, "I have sent the imperial physician to treat them, but the dark guard is calm-minded, why don't you choose a group of people and give him training, and wait Xuanxuan is married, so go and protect Xuanxuan."

"En." Xiao Yuanmin responded.

Emperor Xuanhe looked at his daughter and asked, "Is Xuanxuan too tired?"

"Some." Xiao Yuanmin's hands froze for a moment, and he smiled, "As soon as I returned to my father's side, I felt a lot more relaxed, and then... I became sleepy."

"It's the father's negligence, Xuanxuan, let's go to rest first." Emperor Xuanhe loved his daughter and didn't feel that she was being rude, and said, "I have already ordered no one to disturb you. Just go and pick one another day.”

"Okay." Xiao Yuanmin responded immediately, "By the way, father, the house of the five guards, hidden guards, and Banxia... my daughter wants to reward them generously. Without them, my daughter and younger brother might not be able to see father." gone."

"Don't worry." Emperor Xuanhe had planned for a long time, "When the time comes, you will give another reward in private."

This is entirely for Xiao Yuanmin and Xiao Yuzuo's consideration, to teach them how to buy people's hearts.

"Yes." Xiao Yuanmin and Xiao Yuzuo got up and said solemnly.

"The daughter has retired first." Xiao Yuanmin was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would show his emotions, so he bowed and retreated after Emperor Xuanhe nodded.

Emperor Xuanhe looked at his daughter's back, his eyes darkened.

Xiao Yuzuo sat aside, Emperor Xuanhe didn't ask questions, and he didn't say a word. After a while, Emperor Xuanhe asked Li Dezhong to pass a few brochures to Xiao Yuzuo, and said, "Look at these brochures, and give them to me when you go back." Give me the charter."

"Yes." Xiao Yuzuo took the memorial. Emperor Xuanhe started to let him do this kind of thing a few years ago. At first, he was only brought with him when Emperor Xuanhe was dealing with political affairs. Later, when he met with ministers in private, he often Let him sit in.

"Go down and rest early, we will have a banquet tomorrow." Emperor Xuanhe said.

"Yes." Xiao Yuzuo got up and bowed, then retreated.

Emperor Xuanhe called Li Dezhong, "Go and find out what happened to Xuanxuan."

"Yes." Li Dezhong said respectfully.

Although Xiao Yuanmin pretended to be fine, Emperor Xuanhe saw it.

When Xiao Yuanmin returned to Fengyang Pavilion, Madam Tang and the others came out to welcome her. Seeing Xiao Yuanmin, Madam Tang had tears in her eyes, and even Madam Zheng, who was always calm, had red eyes. It is said that the eldest princess has suffered, so she must make up for it.

In the end, Nanny Zheng recovered quickly, calmed down after a while and said, "Princess, the hot water is ready, let's go wash up first."

"Okay." Xiao Yuanmin was already tired, but nodded at this moment and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'm back, haven't I?"

"It's the old slave who lost his temper. The princess hastened to wash up. I'll help Madam Zheng prepare some food that the princess likes." Madam Tang said, wiping away her tears.

"Ah."

After soaking in hot water, Xiao Yuanmin felt a little more relaxed. Unlike other concubines and princesses who like to sprinkle some flower petals in the bath water, she likes slightly warmer clear water, just soaking like that.

Madam Zheng helped Xiao Yuanmin massage, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty Zheng fell into His Majesty's eyes a few days ago and became pregnant with a dragon seed. The imperial doctor said it was about May."

Xiao Yuanmin responded, now counting, the child should be born in March, and now it is only five months, "Who will protect it?"

"In the beginning, she was closer to Concubine Lin, but after Concubine Lin was found to be pregnant, she shut the door behind closed doors and did not come out." Madam Zheng said softly. I'm afraid I'm too smart, but in the end... and Concubine Lin Gui's eyelids are too shallow, although Lin Guiren is also pregnant, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a man or a woman, it is better to win over both, and wait for the child to fall to the ground.

"Fourth princess, I'm afraid it's just a matter of these few days." Madam Zheng didn't shoot the target for no reason, "It's said that she caught a cold. The queen mother went to see it once, but she didn't go to see it again. Instead, she was concerned about Zheng Guiren's stomach. few."

"Fourth Princess..." Xiao Yuanmin still remembered this younger sister, who was born with all the hopes of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jing, but unfortunately she was not only a girl, but also in poor health. Now...

"The Queen Mother personally went to Her Majesty to ask for a name, and His Majesty named the fourth princess Xiao Jiashu."

"It's a good name." It's a pity that he didn't have a good life, "By the way, what about the second sister?"

"I've already returned to the princess hall. His Majesty personally sent a nanny to look after her." Madam Zheng said, "Concubine Lin Guifei wanted to visit several times, but the nanny blocked the door."

No matter how Emperor Xuanhe didn't like Xiao Qingrong, she was his daughter, and Concubine Lin Gui was just a concubine, how could she allow this concubine to hurt her own flesh and blood.

"Is Second Sister better?" Xiao Yuanmin asked.

"It's a lot better, but I still cried a lot when I left Little Madam Zheng." Madam Zheng said, "At that time, Concubine Lin Guifei begged His Majesty to send Madam Zheng to take care of the Second Princess, but His Majesty refused."

This is to break Xiao Yuanmin's arm. Who doesn't know that Tang Nanny, Zheng Nanny and Little Zheng Nanny are Xiao Yuanmin's confidantes, if they really want to give Xiao Zheng Nanny to Xiao Qingrong, then little Zheng Nanny will be ruined.

Grandma Zheng and Xiaozheng are sisters, so Madam Zheng might be angry at this moment.

"Don't worry." Xiao Yuanmin said after a pause, "Father has a candidate for a son-in-law?"

"Hmm." Madam Zheng recounted the matter that the Empress Dowager summoned the various families that day, "I saw that Your Majesty was more satisfied with the sons of the Duke of Fu and the Duke of Lu, but later the son of the Duke of Lu...so His Majesty is more satisfied. Value the second son of Duke Fu's son."

"Really?" Xiao Yuanmin just asked, not caring.

Mother Zheng looked at Xiao Yuanmin's appearance, hesitated for a while and asked with some concern, "The princess has something on her mind."

Xiao Yuanmin shook his head, covered his face and suddenly fell into the water, sure enough... I'm going to get married... I opened my eyes, looked at my hand in the water, held it, then opened it, then held it and opened it again, this time No one will hold this hand again, or call his name like that.

Xiao Yuanmin didn't surface until she felt suffocated. Madam Zheng didn't ask anything, but waited for her to dry her hair, comb it and change her clothes.

A blue indigo chest-length skirt gave her a bit of fragility, her hair was only dried and combed, and tied with the same color satin a few times around the third of the hair. Four hollowed-out silver balls, as Xiao Yuanmin walked, the balls collided with each other, making a crisp sound, not too loud but pleasant to the ear.

Looking at Xiao Yuanmin's back, Madam Zheng lost a lot of weight, not only because of suffering, but more because of her psychology. She only hoped that the eldest princess would be happy in the end.
