Chapter 144: The Hidden Crown Princess

The emperor was busy until the evening before he had to relax. Unexpectedly, when the emperor drove to the gate of Fengyi Palace, she was told that the queen had gone to Zizhuyuan and couldn't help shaking her head and smiling, "Oh, I'm really here. It's like hide-and-seek. I was urging me to come here before. I'm here now, but I can't find anyone."

After saying that, he casually looked up at the night sky and saw that the sky was already bright and the stars were shining, and the moonlight shone on the dragon robe, so he said, "What time is it now? At this time, it's time for the mother and Chen'er to rest. What else did the queen do when she went out in person?

Hearing this, the servant beside the emperor hurried forward and replied, "Your Majesty, I didn't go out at this moment. The empress dowager came to invite me, and the Empress led Zihui over and hasn't come back until now."

The emperor was slightly unhappy when he heard the words and asked, "What's wrong with Chen'er?" Didn't the doctor see it and say that the injury was fine?

The servant stood next to the dust and said close to him, "If you go back to the emperor, it should not be this. It's just that His Royal Highness Ding has been away from Beijing for a long time, and the Empress Dowager is very happy to be able to get along with her grandson now. The Empress misses Her Royal Highness, and it's over. Why don't the emperor come and have a look?

The emperor thought about it and remembered that he went to see the prince early this morning, but he didn't have time to see his young son Jun Yuchen, who was also injured, so he nod and said, "Well, I also happened to go to see Chen'er and say good morning to my mother."

The imperial car slowly marched under the moonlight, and a light dark cloud swept through the bright moon in the sky. The originally blocked light suddenly became much brighter. The red wall and blue tiles and eaves were particularly quiet in the clear silver.

Looking at the wide stone old road leading to Zizhuyuan, the emperor suddenly remembered that he had often come here. It's just that since the mother lived here, she has rarely set foot in the harem. Thinking about it, it was because I insisted on making Nalan Liancheng the queen, there was still a grudge between the mother and son. Later, the mother recited the scriptures and Buddha all day long, and the more she didn't want to see her son more. Thinking of this, she couldn't help sighing.

"Your Majesty, the Purple Bamboo Courtyard has arrived."

"It's still early. I walked in from behind. I don't need to inform you." As the emperor spoke, he stepped on the spine of the little eunuch, and the golden dragon boots stepped softly on the slate road, slowly walked to the front of the gate of Yi and looked up.

The three big characters of Zizhuyuan on the forehead of the plaque are my own calligraphy. I sighed slightly in my heart, but I only said, "Let's go and rest early."

Everyone did not dare to say more, and the group walked forward lightly from the Jiuqu corridor. But when someone was talking in the gate, he listened carefully to the voices of two women. It was undoubtedly the empress dowager and the queen.

Because there had been a discord between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the emperor rarely saw that the two could talk to each other, so he raised his hand to signal everyone to silence, but he quietly walked over and hid behind a bamboo and listened.

Only heard the Empress Dowager sigh softly, "You, don't leave too much room for anything. Yes, the mourning family also feels sorry for the prince and Chen'er. Just like the emperor, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. How do you choose between the mourning family and the emperor? It's just that before Chen'er recovered from his injury, he asked him to go to Zichen Hall to argue with the prince face to face. Tell me, how can the two brothers meet each other in the future? Are you going to force Chen'er to be an unfaithful and unfilial person?

Empress Nalan rarely whispered in front of the empress dowager, and the empress dowager also knew that she did it for her son this time. Thinking of Jun Yuchen, her beloved grandson, her heart couldn't help softening. Finally, he shook his head and said, "That's all. In this case, you can come with me!"

That night, the emperor and Empress Nalan, as well as Jun Yuchen and the Empress Dowager, sat in the purple bamboo courtyard and sat in the middle of the night. It was not until the stars and moon were dim outside that they dispersed.

The emperor did not say anything about his son Jun Yuchen's request, but at the end, he left a sentence: "Don't worry, I won't decide anything so soon. The friendship between your brothers is what I value most. Therefore, if you want to make Song Zichu live longer, don't make any jokes in the future.

Jun Yuchen's face was gloomy when he heard the words. He didn't say anything, but just tried to endure the anxiety in his heart. Finally, he bowed and said, "Yes, father. I know how to behave."

"It's good to know. Alas, it is said that my son is not a father's wrong. It seems that my father is really not very competent!"

The emperor said and came out with Queen Nalan. After walking out of the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, he sighed, "It's really a headache. Early this morning, I went out of the palace to see the prince. He also opened his mouth and begged me to marry him. Now when he came to Chen'er, as soon as he looked at his face, he knew that both of them were fascinated by this girl! Humph, what a disaster! If it hadn't been for the sake of Song Shi'an's daughter, I really wanted to eradicate her!"

When Empress Nalan heard this, she thought that if she followed the emperor's intention, Song Zi would fall to the ground at the beginning of the day, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of dark.

But when she thought of the situation in front of her, she still advised: "Your Majesty, calm down. As you know, once this young man is moved, he will die. Fortunately, the prince and Chen'er are both filial children, and they also know how to be measured. Your Majesty, you have been busy all day, and you should be tired.

"Well, I'm really tired. Let's go and go back to rest."

After saying that, the emperor nodded tiredly and walked out of the backyard of the Purple Bamboo Courtyard with the Empress Nalan from a shortcut. The little eunuch had already been waiting there. Seeing the two emperors coming out, she quickly pushed the imperial chave to the roadside and helped them up.

The imperial car is paved with bright yellow, and the golden and embroidered dragon-patterned mattress is as soft as a cotton pile. The emperor hugged Queen Nalan and closed his eyes and whispered, "I also know that it is not easy for you. Over the years, many affairs of the harem have fallen on you, and you usually pay attention to taking care of yourself. If it exhausts you a little bit, I won't agree."

"Ha ha, the emperor is really good at talking. The concubine is exhausted now. How does the emperor plan to compensate the concubine?"

Queen Nalan's face was slightly haggard, but her bright eyes were still touching. She asked with a smile, "Do you want to reward or punish?" If you reward, reward your concubine with a quiet rest for a few days. If it is punished, how about punishing the concubine to sit quietly behind closed doors for half a month?

"What's the difference between you, you tricky little thing? But you all want to be lazy and ask me to think about your name for you.

The emperor said, couldn't help laughing, looked at the beautiful face in front of him, stroked it and said, "Liancheng, I still remember the poor appearance when you stood in front of me for the first time. Speaking of which, I have wronged you for so many years. You were originally made of crystal glass, and you should have been spoiled and protected. It's difficult for you to be involved in such vulgar things. It seemed to touch something and sighed, "But don't worry, I won't let Baozhu dust. I still remember what I said before."
