Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 255 The Heavenly Family Is Ruthless
After the new emperor ascended the throne, the princes and princesses of each mansion had to come to kneel every day.

Chen Wang's son-in-law was only three years old, and he couldn't kneel at all. Every time he knelt for a while, he got up and went to the side to find his mother and concubine.Seeing that he had been like this for several days, King Chen scolded him severely, and carried him back to the place where he should kneel, which made him cry.Concubine Chen felt distressed seeing her son crying, but there was nothing she could do.After all, Jiajia was older, and when he saw his cousin kneeling beside him crying, he leaned over to him and wiped his face with a handkerchief.

"Yi'er, be good, stop crying, kneel down well, and brother will give you candy later."

Chen Wang's direct son is called Yuan Yi, and his family has never met him a few times, but he remembers that this little cousin is the same age as his cousin Zhuang Zhuang. Cousin Zhuang Zhuang loves candy very much, he just needs to coax him with candy He will be obedient.Yuan Yi held back his tears when he heard this, looked at this strange cousin with sobs, and nodded slightly.

"I want two."

"Success." Jiajia agreed without hesitation.

He used to always have candy in his pocket, but these days he has to cry for Ling, but he doesn't bring it.Fortunately, after a while, Yuan Yi leaned against him and fell asleep, and when he woke up, he didn't mention sugar.The next day, Jiajia brought candy specially, and gave him two when Yuan Yi asked him for it; unexpectedly, after a while, Yuan Yi asked him for candy again.

"Don't eat too much sugar, it will damage your teeth." Jiajia warned in a low voice.

"I didn't eat, my concubine took it away." Yuan Yi complained in a low voice.

Jiajia glanced at him, seeing his innocent face, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't have anything on me either, we still have to keep a vigil for Grandpa Huang, so don't eat anything."

Yuan Yi could only nod his head when he heard this. He was only three years old, so he didn't think much about it, and he didn't know that his mother and concubine took away his candy and threw it away.Yuan Heng and Yuan Tai next to him guessed it, and everyone knew it too.

This reminded him of a little boy who stole a piece of baked rice cake from the stove at home during the Chinese New Year in a small town, and shared it with several other people when he came out.At that time, the family somewhat disliked the child's saliva, but seeing his good intentions, other children also bit him, so he took a small bite.The deliciously baked rice cake covered with sugar was so delicious that he squinted his eyes. It was even more delicious than the baked rice cake sprinkled with honey in the palace. The other people kneeling here would probably never know the taste of it.

Jiajia didn't tell Zhuhua about this, but Yuantai who went with him touched his head when he went to change clothes.

"Tianjia is naturally different from other homes, you have to get used to it slowly."

Jia Jia nodded, and said to Yuan Tai: "I know it. Brother, don't forget, other people's houses may be different, but our house is the same as ordinary people's house."

"Yes, it's naturally the case in our house." Yuan Tai replied.

After the first seven days, people from all palaces still have to come to kneel during the day, but they can take turns to come at night, even the new emperor will have one day's turn.As the first son of the first prince, Yuan Heng will wait until one day, and Yuan Tai will kneel with him on that day and night.Even if there were only the two of them and some servants in the mourning hall, they didn't say a word.

This day was the turn of Prince Ping's mansion to watch the spirit at night.In the middle of the night, it was really cold in the mourning hall, so Xiao Lin went to make bowls of hot soup for the masters to warm their bodies, and put a little brown sugar in the bowl for everyone.Just as Jiajia was about to drink, Yuan Heng barged in suddenly and glanced anxiously at Jiajia.

"Why is the county king here?" Ping Wang's eyelids twitched, and he took Jiajia's bowl and put it back in the food box, glaring at Xiao Lin coldly.

Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Lin's back, he hung his head and dared not speak.

"I dreamed about the late emperor, come and have a look." Yuan Heng said, heaving a sigh of relief, went up to burn a stick of incense for the late emperor and saluted, then took his leave and left.

Zhuhua knelt on the side in bewilderment, she was so exhausted that she half-closed her eyes even when she knelt down, and she didn't notice any difference between the two of them.Seeing Yuan Heng coming and going, he was confused for a while.

"What happened to him?" Zhuhua asked puzzled.

"I guess he didn't fall asleep. It seems that we really shouldn't steal food in the mourning hall. We were discovered just after serving the bowl." King Ping said shyly.

Zhuhua sighed secretly, put the bowl back in her hand, and said: "Forget it, just bear with it, it won't be long."

She stopped drinking, and so did the other children, and they just got through the night just like that.They didn't have time to go back home in the morning, so they rested for a while in the room prepared by the palace.After another day of kneeling, the whole family trudged back to the mansion.

This happened in the palace, and the palace is still in chaos at the moment, King Ping ordered people to investigate, but nothing was found.

When it was Yuan Tai's turn to watch the night, he took advantage of the dead of night when there was no one around, went up to offer incense, and whispered to Yuan Heng in front of him, "Thank you."

Yuan rolled his eyelids, but ignored him.Yuan Tai didn't care, and returned to his position and continued to kneel.

After seven to seven days, the first emperor was finally buried, and the first empress dowager and first prince were also moved and buried in the tomb of the first emperor.The new emperor proclaimed the former crown prince the "Emperor Huizhuang". Uncle Zhang Guo objected a few times at first, but finally agreed. The other ministers did not say a word. Everyone knew that Uncle Zhang was very satisfied with the new emperor's move. .

After the Qingming Dynasty, the Holy Lord changed the name of the country to Yongchang, and named the Meng family "Queen Jingyi", the concubine Shu, the birth mother, the queen mother, the Jia family, the queen, and the eldest daughter of his three daughters Princess Wan'an, the second daughter Princess Wanhua, the youngest daughter Princess Wanning; at the same time, Yuantai was also named the king of Nanyang County, the eldest daughter of Prince Ping was the princess of Yuqing, and the second daughter was the princess of Yuzhen.

It’s fine to designate Yuan Tai as the king of the county. After all, the first crown prince had the title of emperor, so his two sons should have titles; It is also the first to seal the son, how to seal the princess first?But Uncle Zhang Guo knew that this was the title that Lord Wu Ying asked for from the late emperor, but at that time, Lord Wu only mentioned the eldest daughter of King Ping, and this time the daughter was probably given by the Holy Majesty Shien by the way.

There were two princesses in Prince Ping's mansion all of a sudden, Zhuhua was naturally happy, even though the Holy Majesty did not give him a fief, but having a title means having a salary.As soon as Yuanyuan received the decree, she asked Princess Zhuhua how much she could earn a year. After Zhuhua gave an approximate amount, she was obviously a little surprised.

"It turns out that being a princess is so rich."

"If you coaxed your uncle more earlier, he might be happy to give you a fief now, and you will be richer."

After hearing this, Yuanyuan felt a little regretful.But Zhuhua also agreed with her that before she turned 16, she could only take half of her salary, and the other half had to be kept by her to avoid wasting money.Even though Zhuhua thinks about it, Yuanyuan is not a person who spends money recklessly, she still makes this rule.

Although Yuanyuan complained a few words, she still gave in.

After the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, Prince Ping's Mansion was considered to have received a heavy reward, but in contrast, Prince Chen's Mansion did not and did not get it. The Holy Majesty even asked King Chen to guard the tomb for the first emperor for three years.After the first emperor was buried, a prince had to be selected to guard the tomb.Now the only remaining princes in Chang'an are King Chen and King Ping. The status of King Ping's biological mother is low, and it is not enough for him to guard the mausoleum, so only King Chen will go.

King Chen got the news, but made a fuss at home, and even went to the palace to complain to his mother, Concubine Hui.Guarding the mausoleum is hard work, and Concubine Hui is reluctant to let her own son go, but in this world, their mother and son don't count, otherwise, how could the mother-in-law of the Li family be domineering in the palace.

"It's useless to be a mother, and I can't let you enjoy the blessings. Since the Holy Spirit has a purpose, you should go. Think about the two people who are still locked in the sky prison. The point of suffering is nothing."

Hearing that she mentioned those two, Chen Wang felt better.He lowered his voice and asked, "Did Your Majesty not say how to deal with those two?"

Concubine Hui shook her head and said: "I see that the Holy One is kind, he wants to let them go, but others don't agree."

"He is the Holy One, how dare others not agree to what he means?"

Concubine Hui glanced at him and said, "It's really easy for you to sit in that seat."

"I've never sat down before." Chen Wang said rascally.

Concubine Hui looked at him helplessly, and warned him a few words before letting him out of the palace.Now everyone in the palace listens to the Empress Dowager. Concubine Hui is afraid that his wrong words will reach the Empress Dowager's ears and cause trouble. The Holy One is soft-hearted, but the Empress Dowager is not soft-hearted.

King Chen knew that the matter of going to guard the mausoleum could not be changed, and he had to go on the road no matter how reluctant he was when the day came.As soon as he left, King Jiang and King Chu also dealt with them. The Holy Majesty demoted them to common people and exiled them to Lingnan, never to enter Beijing.

When the Holy Majesty was enthroned, he gave amnesty to the world, and serious crimes such as treason were not within the scope of amnesty.But the sage said that since other common people can be forgiven, why can't the late emperor's son and his brothers be forgiven?For this reason, the Holy Majesty and the ministers were still arguing in the court for several days.Uncle Zhang Guo was the one who opposed the most fiercely. He wanted the Holy Majesty to kill the two of them and exile their wives and children.

Because the Holy Majesty was firm, after several days of stalemate between the two sides, Uncle Zhang Guo took a step back and agreed to the Holy Majesty's request.The Holy Majesty breathed a sigh of relief. The late emperor did not leave many princes. Before he died, he asked him to treat them kindly. He knew the meaning of the late emperor's words. .

The charges were certain, and the two families were very happy when they learned that the two princes were saved from death, but they couldn't help but look sad when they thought of the long journey of exile.

The day before the exile, King Ping went to see King Chu in prison, and when King Chu saw him, he smiled lightly at him.

The prison guards in the sky prison are quite polite to the prisoners, but King Jiang and King Chu couldn't enjoy the treatment that Zhuhua received in prison back then.For more than two months, King Chu lost a lot of weight, his clothes were no longer shiny, and his hair was messed up with a wooden hairpin, as if it would fall down at any time.The jailer opened the cell door and let King Ping in to talk to King Chu.Now that the king of Chu has been charged with crimes, and there is no such thing as treason in it, only that they were disrespectful to the former emperor, the jailer did not stop other people from visiting the prison.

"The cell is shabby, I have wronged my seventh brother." King Chu said lightly.

King Ping glanced around, lifted his robe and sat on the floor, not paying attention at all.The king of Chu sat down in front of him and looked at the seventh brother whom he had been wary of since he was a child. He thought he understood him before, but then he couldn't understand him.

"Do you regret it?" Ping Wang asked.

The King of Chu smiled, shook his head heavily, and said, "If the crown prince was you, I might accept it too. But it's the sixth younger brother! Why should he!"

"When the first emperor appointed the crown prince, I was by his side. I also asked the first emperor, why didn't you be appointed? The first emperor said that a person who didn't even dare to stand up and fight openly, he didn't want to be established, he would rather establish today, at least He has a heart."

"Governing the country is not based on the mind, but on the strategy. He will not be able to subdue old thief Zhang, unless you can help him all the time, and he will always trust you."

"I will continue to stay in the Imperial Academy." King Ping said, smiling slightly, "I have to protect my family first."

"Your intelligence is wasted on women." The King of Chu sighed.

King Ping smiled and said, "I am willing to do so."

After speaking, he stared at King Chu quietly.

He and the king of Chu didn't talk much in the palace before, but there was a sense of sympathy for each other.The two of them, one because of their status and the other because of their body, were not valued by their father when they were young, but before they could think of a way to attract their attention, they both learned to hide their clumsiness.King Ping became a cowardly King Ping, and King Chu became a weak King of Chu.King Ping's cowardice, as long as he has the heart, can hide from the world for a lifetime; King Chu's weakness is not good, he is the first one who can't hide from Princess Chu.

After Princess Chu found out, she vaguely guessed something, but said nothing, and began to concentrate on worshiping the Buddha, and often told him about the Dharma.He listened and listened, even though he was grateful for her sincerely, he still couldn't hear the bottom of his heart.

He has a pink lady who knows his ambition and is willing to follow him. She also gave birth to his eldest son. As for Princess Chu, she just chanted scriptures there every day.She couldn't give birth to a son, but she still cared about other women who bore sons for him, as if she was the only one who was pure and kind in the world.She made him feel ashamed and disgusted him. In the end, the tenderness and tenderness that existed between the two of them was exhausted, and her body also broke down.

She died of depression, hoping that he would let go of his obsession until death.But how could he let it go, the crown prince disappeared in such an unexplainable way, how could the emperor not be handed over to those idiots, why did he let it go?
Even if he was reduced to a prisoner at this moment, he never regretted this choice.Why can't she be as vain and stupid as the concubine who knows how to actively encourage her men to fight for the supreme position?Why can't she understand his ambition and stand by his side?

For such a woman, after she died, he fell ill because of her.When he was seriously ill, he looked at the gentle and intelligent side concubine who took care of him and accompanied him for many years, and he could only sigh in his heart that none of these people was her.He never knew that it was his gentle and intelligent side concubine who made Princess Chu infertile and depleted her body.

He met King Shangping's eyes and looked at him calmly. He already had nothing to lose. He would never quit the battle for the throne, and he had nothing to regret when he ended up in the current situation.

"Wei Ba Niang." Prince Ping said a name lightly.

The King of Chu frowned slightly, and sighed, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. She has nothing to do with this matter, and it has nothing to do with the Chu Palace, so don't make things difficult for her."

"She's pregnant with your flesh and blood."

King Chu was startled, and slowly clenched his hands into fists.
