Chapter 103 Letter King Li Jia

When Yuanxiu went to Qing Wangguan, in the name of chanting scriptures for his biological mother, he had to eat vegetarian food in Qing Wangguan for three days before returning to the palace - Empress Dowager Wenhua died in mid-April. Although she mourned with Fengchun in the Sanqing Hall in previous years, it is understandable to change to another place this year: Princess Jiacheng almost all day They all ran to the Sanqing Hall, and the smell of five branches of fragrance winding all the way back to Qingsi Hall from Sanqing Hall.

As usual, Yaoguang came out to receive her. Yuan Xiu ordered to pick blue and green to return the simple luggage and take Xue to visit Xuanhong. Xuanhong was still cold and seemed angry. Yuan Xiu only did not see him. He greeted him a few words. When he came back, he presented some things given by Feng Chun and said goodbye to the quiet room. .

Late at night, Xuanhong was awakened by the unusual movement outside. She was surprised. Not to mention that Qingwangguan is a royal Taoist temple, not to mention that she and several females such as Yaoguang, but she was the emperor's aunt. In the former bodyguards of the princess's palace, they were all stationed outside the observation area for protection. In addition, she became more and more daily use after she became a monk. Simple, in her opinion, there is nothing valuable in the view. How can anyone touch it?

When Xuanhong thought about it, the people outside seemed to touch the candlelight and lit the lampstand openly. On the mica screen, a figure was reflected, which made Xuanhong frown secretly.

Yuan Xiu's face was a little pale, but she looked very calm under the candlelight. She held a three-piece porcelain lampstand outside in her hand, and only wore a middle coat. She put the lamp not far from Xuanhong, bowed her body, and said slowly, "I dare not hide it from my third aunt. I came back to forget it. In fact, I just want to ask my third aunt a little bit. The old thing - I gave my aunt some medicine in Suzhai at night. The medicine was obtained by He Yijian, the son of Wei Bo, for me, enough for the aunt to sleep until dawn without knowing it.

"So, are you going to spend the night with me today?" Xuanhong frowned and looked at her and shook his head gently. For a long time, he sighed and pointed to the coat he put on beside the bed. "Put it on first. Chang'an is no better than the south. It's still cold now."

Yuan Xiu put on Xuanhong's robe, knelt down on the couch, and came straight to the point: "Third aunt, why was my mother not favored by my father in those years?"

"Do the original couple must love each other?" Xuanhong didn't want her to ask this first. He was stunned for a moment before saying lightly, "Now you and your fifth sister-in-law are bored with each other?"

Yuan Xiu said, "Then how could there be my fifth brother and me later? And the eighth brother?"

"When the former emperor was the crown prince, he actually loved your biological mother very much." Xuanhong was silent for a moment and said leisurely, "Your mother has been unfed, and their relationship has deteriorated because of your deceased fourth brother."

Li Jia, the king of Xin, is the fourth son of Emperor Xianzong. His mother, the wife of Xianchang County, was born in a humble background. She is not as good as the middle, but she is very good at dancing. Originally, she was the head of the dance department of Zuojiaofang in Yanzheng Square. She won the favor of Xianzong because of several dances and summoned her to serve. Later, when she became pregnant, the Empress Dowager Wenhua asked for instructions to Xianzong and gave her a wife. The title changed from a subordinate to a palace concubine.

When Li Jia was two years old, Guo was finally pregnant. Guo was very excited, and Emperor Xianzong was also very looking forward to this belated direct son. At that time, although King Peng died early, Li Yi was already eight years old. His biological mother, Boling Cui, was one of the three wives in the palace. Someone once proposed that the middle palace had no Zi, Mo Ruchang, if it hadn't been for the fact that Guo's family was powerful at that time, and Xianzong was busy cleaning up the mess left by Emperor Huaizong. If Fengchun hadn't been born, the East Palace might have had a master in advance.

In this case, Guo was naturally extremely cautious. She asked Emperor Xianzong to agree. In six months, she invited her mother Mrs. Liu to accompany her. At that time, Li Jia was almost three years old. He was not particularly smart, and her biological mother did not even have a formal position. But it is very popular with Xianzong - just because he looks like Xianzong himself.

Therefore, even Mrs. Xianchang County was summoned by Emperor Xianzong many times.

When Mrs. Liu entered the palace, she heard a statement that she should look at who she was pregnant and whose children might look like in the future, so she persuaded Guo to summon Li Jia to watch from time to time, so that future children could also be treated differently by Xianzong.

The direct mother wants to see the concubine's son for an open and righteous reason. Naturally, no one stops her. Mrs. Xianchang County also knows that Li Jia should appear more in front of the queen, which is extremely beneficial for her biological mother, who has no family background, is not too favored, and does not have a high position. Therefore, every time she receives a call from the Zhonggong, she is happy to send her Li Jia went.

Because of caution, although Guo wanted to see Li Jia, she did not like the presence of Mrs. Xianchang County. Mrs. Xianchang County was born in the teaching workshop and was the best at observing words and colors. After one or two, she found an excuse to ask the palace people to pick up Li Jia and no longer go to Penglai Hall.

In this way, after more than eight months, Guo's body became more and heavier, and Li Jia was less summoned. However, Li Jia often met her before. Every time they met, the snacks in Penglai Hall were always more delicious than that of Mrs. Xianchang County. Although he had been sealed as the King of Letters at that time, he was young and greedy and took the initiative to run to Penglai Hall from time to time.

Just half a month before the birth of the Guo family, Li Jia asked the wet nurse to take him alone to the Penglai Hall to see the Guo family. However, on that day, the Guo family was taking a nap, and the people in the Penglai Hall would not wake him up for this, so they took some snacks and asked the wet nurse to sit and wait with Li Jia in the partial hall. At that time, the Guo family may have given birth at any time. The Penglai Hall was tight up and down, and because the imperial doctor had determined that it was a male child... Li Jia couldn't help but despise it. At that time, the master of the hall was Qian Yun, who was Guo's dowry. She made two little maids wait beside him and told him not to run around, and ordered the nursing mother to be careful. , so I went to guard Guo.

When Guo woke up, when he heard that Li Jia was coming, he ordered to call him over. When Qianyun went to invite Li Jia in person, he saw that the couch for a nap behind the side hall was messy. Li Jia, who had originally told the two little maids to take a nap for a while, disappeared. A window blocked by the palace in the corner of the side hall was empty.

An hour later, the palace man found the floating bodies of Li Jia and the nursing mother in the Taiye Pool on the east side of Penglai, and they were already out of breath when they were rescued.

It was night, and Mrs. Xianchang County committed suicide.

When Yuanxiu heard this, he was silent for a moment and said, "In the final analysis, the mother's queen is at most in charge of the palace people. At that time, the mother's queen was about to give birth, and it is inevitable that the Penglai Hall will be loose. What's more, my fourth brother sneaked out. He also has his own biological mother. The key is that Mrs. Xianchang County is not optimistic about him. Why did the father blame his mother for this?

"The former emperor has been praised for his wisdom and martial arts so far. You said that your father is because he sat in that position. Are these flattering words?" Xuanhong said lightly, "There are several doubts about this matter: First, your fourth brother's wet nurse, Shanshui, not to mention that Taiye Dongchi is not as big as Xichi, even if she is thrown into the Yellow River, she will not drown! Second, it was midsummer. An apricot forest was planted in front of the Taiye West Pool opposite the Penglai Hall. The branches and leaves were dense and could be shaded, so it was understandable to play by the west pool, but the coast of the East Pool was full of grass that could not be knee-high. At that time, it was noon and the sun was hot. How could the wet nurse or the king go there? Third, according to the people in Penglai Hall privately told your father that when your fourth brother was placed in the side hall waiting, your mother had not yet slept, but called your grandmother to retreat from the others to discuss the matter!"

She said leisurely, "Although your fourth brother was only four years old at that time, he was extremely active. When your mother summoned him, he always couldn't sit still. He either flipped here or drilled there. Once he hid in a camellia tree in the small garden behind the Penglai Hall and was caught by a branch. With his legs, he couldn't pull it out with little strength. Instead, he tore his clothes. He was afraid of being punished and did not dare to shout. The branches and leaves of the camellia tree were thick all year round, covering him tightly. Your mother sent someone to find it. She was so anxious that he almost moved the fetus!"

Yuanxiu bit his lip.
