Da Suining

Looking at the little girl, Concubine He ignored that Xiang Yan was born after a day of pain, but sobbed and said: "What's the use of having such a thing, if it's a grandson of the emperor, in the future, the palace will still have a baby." Even if it can be passed on, what is the use of this daughter? I know you are useless. Not only can you not give birth to a prince, you can't even take care of my son. If you are virtuous and can watch him, he can get that Is it a kind of disease? After marrying you, my son died at a young age, presumably you killed my son."

Xiang Yan was lying on the bed, feeling weak all over, giving birth to that daughter almost cost her half her life.

The body was torn apart, and there were large patches of blood.

Concubine He was not sympathetic at all, but instead said that she was ruthless, lying on the bed and not going to guard Guo Kai's spirit, she just knew to lie down and hide in peace.

On the second day after giving birth to her daughter, Xiangyan dragged her exhausted body to lie down in front of Guo Kai's spirit and pretended to cry, and greeted her.

She really couldn't cry.

Ever since she married Guo Kai, Guo Kai has never been idle.

Xuan Guo's brothels, far and near, he went to countless, even the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, he also kissed Fangze, sometimes, he would charter a boat across the canal to the southeast with his gang of friends to listen to ditties and find girls.

Even these few in the mansion, none of them are easy.

Guo Kai was picking honey from the flowers, but was stung by a bee.

Well now, just lie down straight.

After Guo Kai's death, Concubine He cried to death. She had only one son, who was her backer for the rest of her life. If the son died, wouldn't it just kill her?The favor in the palace will always be gone, the son is the real one, but now the son is dead, and he died so ugly that even the funeral has to be kept simple.

The royal family is also afraid of being discussed.

The few concubines in the palace were expelled by the emperor to the nunnery in Luocheng, where they would eat fast and chant Buddha all their lives. At first they were unwilling. They heard that if they didn’t become nuns, they would be buried with Guo Kai. The concubines were in a hurry Some of them went to become nuns in a carriage, and those who couldn't sit in the carriage had to run to the nunnery overnight with their burdens on their backs.

After Guo Kai's funeral, it was already the end of the year.

At the end of the year, Zhuangzi will come to send some fresh chicken, duck, fish, deer, and some vegetables.

The lotus root sent by Zhuangzi was very good, white and plump.Each section is cut, and there are nine holes in the top.

The nine-hole lotus root is crispy and sweet, making it the best lotus root glutinous rice soup.

Mei Jing likes to eat glutinous rice soup with lotus root, so he personally watched the servants move things in the courtyard.

"Mother—" A carriage stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a woman in a purple blouse woven with gold threads hurried down, holding a child in her arms.

It's Xiangyan.

Xiang Yan's hair was loose in a bun, and she didn't have any hairpins. There was almost no jewelry on her body, she just held the child in her arms, and cried before entering the door: "Mother—"

Mei Jing was originally short, but the gust of wind brought by Xiangyan almost threw her to the ground, and the lotus root in her hand flew out.

Tang Xiaoniang had already come out to welcome her.

"Son, Fen Yi Fen Yi, she doesn't know why, but she suddenly doesn't want to breastfeed, and her head is very hot." Xiang Yan was very flustered.

Fen Yi is the name of Xiangyan's daughter.

The full name is Guo Fenyi, the child is still young, like a piece of dough, curled up softly in Xiangyan's arms.

As a first-time mother, I don't know that my child will grow up and have to experience disasters, big and small. When I meet her for the first time, I am very scared.

Xiang's family quickly found a doctor to treat the child.

It turned out that the head was hot because of the cold.

The doctor prescribed medicine, and Xiangyan fed the child. After a while, the child's fever subsided a little. At night, the child's fever subsided, and the head didn't burn anymore.

Only then did Xiang Yan feel relieved.

"It's common for children to have a headache and brain fever." Tang Xiaoniang comforted her: "When you were young, there were several times when you had a fever in the middle of the night, and the family took a car to call the doctor in the middle of the night, so don't panic."

Tang Xiaoniang was holding the child, and Xiangyan finally ate some cakes. The child was small and cried every day during the day and at night, making Xiangyan unable to eat or sleep well.

"I see that you have lost weight recently. It is important to raise your children, and your body is also important. Now that the prince is gone, and without those tortured goblins, you are the one who has the final say in the palace, and you should take good care of yourself." .”

"What's the use of taking care of yourself." Xiang Yan was a little discouraged: "The prince is gone, so who will I show if I take good care of myself?"

"You are still young, so don't say anything depressing. Now your father is in charge of the court, and your younger brother Guo Xin has been granted the fourth rank by the emperor. After a while, let your father make trouble for you. If there is a suitable one, it’s okay to recruit a son-in-law. If he doesn’t want to make a fuss, let Guoxin help you do it.”

Mei Jing leaned against the door and ate melon seeds, and laughed out loud upon hearing this.

She was almost knocked down by Xiangyan, her chest was covered with black and blue, and now listening to the mother and daughter's conversation, she couldn't help but say: "If you want to talk about recruiting a son-in-law, it's your mother who will do it with all her heart." No such embarrassing things."

"You don't need to interrupt us about our mother and daughter." Tang Xiaoniang also put on a full-fledged posture of being the head of the house.

Mei Jing didn't raise her eyes to look at her at all, and said, "You are willing to recruit a son-in-law, wouldn't it make people laugh, let alone the prince just died, or the prince has been dead for seven or eight years, and the princess wants to recruit a son-in-law?" , is also criticized. Now that I have children, what do I need that man for?"

Tang Xiaoniang and Xiangyan couldn't speak at the moment.

"Even if you agree, the people in the palace will not agree. Who can take the place of the prince? I'm afraid it's not for death."

This.
"It's best not to let Guoxin get involved in this matter. Xiang Guoxin is currently being valued by the emperor. Don't delay his future with these trivial matters."

Mei Jing's words made Xiang Yan feel angry.

When Guo Kai was seriously ill, Xiangyan's family was married to the Mei family, and Xiangyan was already unhappy.

Back then when Mei Jing and Xiang Guo were married, the weather was bad and Xiang Yan was too pregnant to sit in a carriage, so they didn't have a wedding banquet in the future.

In addition, Guo Kai passed away, and the mansion has been busy with affairs until now, and it was only when the daughter was ill that she came to talk to her mother, but she was ridiculed by Mei Jing.

Outrageous.

"The child is fine. I've let someone set up a carriage, so you can take the child back. There will be maids waiting for you when you return to the palace, so it's convenient to use." Tang Xiaoniang helped Xiangyan pack her things.

Never was he driven away in such a hurry.

Xiangyan hugged her daughter and resolutely left Xiang's house.

Xiang Guoxin goes home later and later.

Sometimes when I came back at night, I was called out again.

Mei Jing thought that there was someone outside Xiang Guoxin, and was afraid that some goblin would steal Xiang Guoxin's soul, so she followed behind secretly.

The carriage stopped at Mei's house.

In the front hall, there is plenty of charcoal fire.

Mei Tong, Guo Cong and two other ministers sat and talked with each other.

The maidservants brought tea to everyone.

Mei Tong had another plate of pastries served to Xiangguo.

"My son-in-law is becoming more and more promising. Before he was 20 years old, the emperor promoted him to the third-rank general. When I was 30 years old, I didn't have such achievements." Mei Tong invited everyone to drink tea: "Liu My lord, Lord Su, please give the eldest prince the booklet for the crown prince, you should also hand it over."

Mr. Liu said: "It's not that the humble minister didn't hand it over. He handed it over last month and was beaten back by the emperor. The emperor got angry and said that the second prince's body was still alive. We were still thinking about who to be the crown prince. What a mistake."

Master Su said: "In the old years, I asked for the appointment of a crown prince. It was the minister who started first. At that time, I contacted more than [-] adults and handed the booklet to the emperor. The emperor said that the minister did not want to be a loyal minister and was thinking about the next master every day. Yes. Are you looking forward to his early death? Bringing up this matter now, in case the emperor gets angry, what should we do?"

"You guys are too careful. The eldest prince is the son of the emperor, and also the biological son of Concubine Mei Gui. The position of prince is not his, but how can it be those crooked ones? Even if you make a deal, the emperor will not blame you. of."

"My lord, now the emperor is getting better and better under the treatment of the imperial doctor Lu, and the emperor is getting younger and younger. Let's go ask for the crown prince, isn't it just a slap in the face? Besides, according to Yichen, the emperor has recently treated the sixth and the seventh. That's right, after the death of the second prince, the emperor sealed them both as sons, whether it's water control or internal affairs, he also divided some of them."

A few people, you speak to me.

Mei Tong wanted to persuade Liu and Su to hand over the booklet, but Liu and Su were not fools either.

With a bang, Guo Cong put the tea bowl on the table.

The charcoal fire jumped and lit up again.

Liu and Su, you look at me, I look at you, and dare not speak any more.

"Guo Xin, what do you think about letting the emperor appoint a crown prince?" Guo Cong asked.

Before Xiang Guoxin could answer, Mei Tong pressed Xiang Guoxin's shoulder and answered for him: "Guoxin is my Jinger's husband-in-law, and he is on the same boat as my Mei family. Cong'er is the crown prince. Today's military power in the world, the emperor has a share, I have a share, and Guoxin has a share. I am with Guoxin. Cong'er's crown prince is stable. You are still waiting and watching, Mr. Liu and Su. What? When the eldest prince becomes the crown prince, it will be too late for the two of you to hug your thighs at that time."

Liu and Su looked at each other again.

Mei Tong secretly helped the knife on the case.

Xiangguo remained calm.

Guo Cong squinted at the movement of the two.

If I don't express my position now, I'm afraid I can't be alone.

Liu Su and Liu Su hurriedly knelt down towards Guo Cong: "The emperor is very important to the prince, and the eldest prince is assisted by the uncle of the country and the young minister. Of course, the position of prince is well-deserved. When we go back, we will discuss it with the disciples." For this matter, in just these two days, I will hand over the certificate of making the eldest prince the crown prince, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Mei Tong personally sent Xiang Guoxin out.

After drinking a lot of wine, Xiang Guoxin decided to take a walk because he felt hot and dry.

The wind and snow all over the sky, like feathers dyed white, burrowed into people's necks without any explanation.

Baolong Street was almost buried by the wind and snow.

Xiang Guoxin walked alone, and then stopped.

Mei Jing followed too closely, one of them threw herself on Xiang Guoxin's back without paying attention.

The two of them stuck together in the wind and snow.

After recovering, Mei Jing asked Xiang Guoxin: "Are you willing to make my cousin the crown prince?"

Xiang Guoxin had already noticed Mei Jing's stalking.

If he hadn't deliberately slowed down, Mei Jing's short legs wouldn't have been able to catch up.

He just wanted to find a chance to speak alone.

Even Baolong Street is still snowing.

Even if the two of them are covered in snow.

"Whether the crown prince is established or not is the emperor's business."

"The emperor is so confused." Mei Jing murmured: "Since the death of the noble concubine, the emperor has become more and more unkind to my cousin. If my cousin can't be the prince, we will never have a good life in the future."

Xiangguo was silent.

"Tell me, are you willing to ask my cousin to be the crown prince?" Mei Jing anxiously shook Xiang Guoxin's sleeve.

Xiang Guoxin was so entangled by her that he couldn't help it.

He didn't think it was a wise choice to invite the crown prince at this time.

There were a lot of things to declare the country this year, and many things happened in the palace.

If the emperor hadn't been afraid of Guo Cong, he wouldn't have let the Xiang family share a piece of the pie.

In private, the marriage between Mei and Xiang's family has violated the royal taboo.

Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if you went to invite the crown prince again not long after you got married?

But Guo Cong was too impatient.

Now the emperor may be getting older, and he is becoming more and more fraternal.

The few princes who were left in the corner by him before were all dusted up in the cold, and somehow the emperor remembered them again. Not only did they remember, but they also assigned some practical tasks to each of them. The rights of the eldest prince, Slowly being emptied.

He has lost his mother.

Uncle is getting weaker and weaker.

How is he not afraid.

Mei Jing kept asking, but Xiang Guoxin could only answer her: "I have to think about it."

"Then you just don't want to. You married me, but you don't want to ask my cousin to be the crown prince. Aren't you a bully?" Mei Jing was about to cry.

"Are you marrying me only for your cousin to be the prince?"

"Yes." Mei Jing blurted out.

When she married into Xiang's family, she wanted to join hands with Xiang's family to keep the crown prince's position as the eldest prince.

I wanted to cover it up, but the answer was too hasty.

Xiang Guoxin knew this was the answer, but he didn't say anything.

He had told Xiang Suining earlier that since he knew his background, he was no longer good enough for a pure woman in the world.

"I'll be back at Xiang's house in a while, don't mention anything about asking for a crown prince." Xiangguo told Mei Jing heartily.

Mei Jing didn't understand: "Why? Father is on a job in the palace, so he should invite the crown prince."

"Didn't you say that if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and if you marry a dog, follow the dog? Then let me tell you now, don't bring up the matter of establishing a prince in Xiang's family."

"you--"

"I will consider the matter of establishing a crown prince." Xiang Guoxin let go of Mei Jing's hand, and walked home along Baolong Street. Mei Jing stepped on his footsteps tightly, and had no choice but to go back.

Xiangguo thought about it for two nights, but in the end he didn't dare to tell Xiang Daying, so he could only discuss with Xiang Suining.

Of course Xiang Suining didn't want him to go through this troubled water.

The more eager to support Guo Cong, the more annoying the emperor will be.

"I think so too, so let's procrastinate."

"Liu and Su have been entrusted by Mei Tong, and they will definitely think of a way. Don't make a move, and see how they act."

It is true.

Liu Su is a veteran.

One is smarter than the other.

Sure enough, within two days, Liu and Su asked for the crown prince in the court hall.

Mei Tong was very excited at the time, thinking that Liu and Su were reliable, and there were about [-] disciples of Liu and Su who were officials in the court, and they waved their arms in the court hall. A lot of pressure from the emperor.

Some said: "The eldest prince is the crown prince, it is the destiny of heaven, the eldest prince is the descendant of Concubine Mei Gui, the mighty uncle is loyal and loyal, the eldest prince is the crown prince, it is perfect."

Some said: "Looking at the stars at night, the crape myrtle stars are bright, this reflects the prosperity of the Chenghuan Palace. The eldest prince was born in the Chenghuan Palace. Of course, it is very expensive, and he is a suitable candidate for the crown prince."
