Yanmenchun

Princess Baoqing originally said that Shentuchan and Jili would come back to participate.

Now it's been a long time since Jiji ceremony, and it's fine that she didn't come back, and she didn't even reply to the letter.

Huguang was far away, she was pregnant again, Shen Tuchan was very worried about her, and sent someone to Prince Gong's mansion to ask the concubine.

There is no news from the concubine Shizi, and she is planning to send an elder brother of Princess Baoqing to Huguang to have a look.

Shen Tuchan was also worried, so she sent a servant to follow her. If Princess Baoqing is fine, just ask him well, and if there is something wrong, write a letter back six hundred li urgently.

There have been funerals in the royal family in the past few days, and His Royal Highness King Wei died of illness.

The emperor lost his son, and the atmosphere in the court these days has been heavy.

In Changchun Palace.

Concubine Rong's belly was not yet pregnant, she touched her abdomen carefully, and said to Li Xiangshan who was sitting next to her: "The king of Wei is dead, who knows if that girl named Yashuang is still alive, don't worry about it." She's gone, we have more important things to do right now."

Li Xiangshan nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will invite someone to submit the memorial in a few days."

Concubine Rong let go of the hand holding her stomach, and pressed her gorgeous and slender armor on the teacup beside her: "Yan, Wei, Qi, these titles have already been sealed, can you be named King of Chu when you see it?" , no matter how good it is, it will naturally be King Qin."

The king of Qin has always been a metaphor for the prince, and many princes were named kings of Qin before the Jin crowned the prince.

Although the emperor dotes on Concubine Rong Gui, he is not dissatisfied with the crown prince. I am afraid that it is more likely that he will be crowned king of Chu.

But everything is a matter of struggle, Li Xiangshan said solemnly: "Don't worry, empress, it may not be impossible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jingshu came in to refill her tea with a small bucket of color and flat peach pot.

Li Xiangshan glanced at her, frowned and said: "Didn't you see that my father and the imperial concubine have important matters to discuss?"

Obviously very dissatisfied with Li Jingshu coming in without authorization.

Li Jingshu stepped forward to refill Concubine Rong's tea and lowered her head obediently: "Jingshu knows her mistake."

After speaking, she turned to Li Xiangshan and retreated gently like a maidservant.

Li Jingshu withdrew and did not leave.

She stood beside Concubine Rong's maid outside the house, still holding the pot in her hand, as if she was waiting for Concubine Rong to arrive whenever she was called.

Inside the room, Concubine Rong glanced at Li Xiangshan and said, "Jing Shu is one of my own, so what are you afraid of?"

After speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Li Xiangshan snorted and said: "Mr. Sun is strong. She has always been submissive in front of her mother. Now that Mr. Sun is gone, she is still like this. She can't laugh all day long, and she looks like an unfamiliar child."

Concubine Rong smiled and did not speak.

It is true that Li Jingshu is not lively, talks less, and smiles less.

Li Jingshu heard these words clearly, and the maid next to her gave her a subtle look.

Li Jingshu just held the pot tightly in her hand, and looked at the maid a little shyly, as if she was a little embarrassed to let outsiders hear the elders talking about her.

Li Xiangshan said goodbye to Concubine Rong and left.

Li Jingshu followed him to see him out of the palace.

The autumn sun was very warm, and the sun shone on the palace road, making people almost unable to keep their eyes open.

Li Jingshu squinted her eyes, autumn fatigue hit her, and she couldn't sleep well in the palace, she yawned a little, with some physiological tears in the corners of her eyes.

Li Xiangshan saw her like this as soon as he turned his head, frowned and said: "If you don't learn the rules well, let the imperial concubine ask a nanny to teach you, how did Mrs. Sun teach you?"

Li Jingshu stood obediently and lowered her head.

The expression on Li Xiangshan's face was a little better: "The king of Wei is dead, you are not young, you heard what was said in the palace just now, your cousin is going to be crowned king, once crowned king, it will affect our Li family More life and death and glory."

After finishing speaking, he paused, and then said: "King Qi has already married his concubine, and he doesn't want to wrong you as a concubine for his father. The Xiankang county king in Shu has no concubine, and you will be the concubine when you marry. The county king is old, and he will definitely fight for this honor for you."

Li Jingshu lowered her head and looked at the toes of her shoes. Hearing this, she raised her head and looked at Li Xiangshan with a smile: "Father, don't worry."

Li Xiangshan said: "Take good care of the imperial concubine."

After speaking, he lifted his official robe and left the gate of Changchun Palace.

Li Jingshu waited for a while without going back, and the two serving maids not far away looked at her in surprise.

Instead, Li Jingshu walked to the gate of the palace, imitating the way Li Xiangshan lifted up his official robe just now, lifted up her skirt, and stepped across the high threshold.

The two maids looked at each other, but Li Jingshu looked up at the two of them smiling innocently: "Father's action just now is so majestic!"

The two maids suddenly felt that she was just a girl with a heart, and said with a smile: "Master Li is a first-rank official, so he is majestic."

In fact, they didn't even think about it, Li Jingshu was almost seventeen years old, not to mention ordinary people's homes, even in the city of Kyoto, seventeen-year-old mothers can be found everywhere, so there is no such thing as a girl's heart.

After listening to her words, Li Jingshu looked at the long palace road outside Changchun Palace, and after a while, she turned and went to Concubine Rong's bedroom.

After serving Concubine Rong's meal at night, Concubine Rong took her hand and said, "Jingshu, your father told you about the marriage."

Li Jingshu nodded calmly.

Concubine Rong pulled her to sit down beside the table and said: "You are a good boy, beautiful, filial, and good at judging the situation. My aunt likes you very much. During this period of time, you have been with me in the palace, and my appetite has improved a lot. , these minutiae, you don't need to do it yourself, your good aunt remembers it!"

As she said that, she touched her bun affectionately: "Your mother is gone, so my aunt will tell you these things. When a woman finds her husband's family, the most important thing is to find someone who knows the cold and the hot. Although the aunt has entered the palace, Wealthy and rich, but."

She didn't say anything but said, "You still have a chance. Although County King Xiankang is older than you, only old husbands and young wives know how to love others. Besides, you will be the princess of the county when you enter the mansion. In the future, if there is a chance in the future, it is natural to be a princess."

The last sentence was implicit, and it was nothing more than telling Li Jingshu that if the eleventh prince ascended the throne in the future, she, the emperor's cousin, could naturally become a princess.

Li Jingshu smiled slightly, and nodded as if very obedient.

When she returned to her bedroom, the little maid serving her didn't know whether it was a temptation or distress, and said cautiously: "Miss Jingshu, do you know how old Xiankang County King is?"

Li Jingshu looked up at her with black and white eyes, with a gentle expression: "I know, King Xiankang is in his forties."

He was about the same age as Li Xiangshan.

The little maid was slightly surprised, she thought that Li Jingshu didn't know, and ordinary girls would cry a lot when they knew that they were going to marry someone who was about the same age as their father.

Li Jingshu smiled and said: "Father and aunt are always good for me."

It is rumored that Li Jingshu likes the crown prince and doesn't want to get married. It doesn't look like she doesn't want to marry. She is obviously very well-behaved. The little maid began to think that these problems may be because of Li Xiangshan and Concubine Rong. Miss Li is just a little girl. Can be my own master.
