Chapter 58 58. Will
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the seal was sealed in the yamen, and the officials had a holiday and began to walk around each other to celebrate the festival.

On Liu Xinning's side, she received an additional thank you gift from the Fourth Prince's Mansion, saying that the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess thanked her for her plea.

Looking at the pile of presents, she was speechless for a while.

The Empress Dowager sent a nanny to tell her that the maids and eunuchs involved had all been executed with a cane.

Mrs. Sha, who was dragged by the fourth concubine and made a noise to attract Emperor Qingping, didn't know much about it, so that's all.

This matter, that's all!

But, she didn't expect that the fourth prince would send someone to give her a thank you gift?
The relationship between them is really not a relationship of politeness...

Liu Xinning returned the gift, only saying that everything will follow the arrangement of the Holy One, and there is no need for additional dealings.

The next day, Liu Xinning received a reward from the emperor.

Listening to Dajian Tai's words, inside and outside, the four princes were bewitched by others, not from their own hearts, and hoped that their cousins ​​could get along well.

Liu Xinning responded with a smile.However, she secretly slandered: You said you were bewitched by others, if her heart is firm, who can be bewitched?
It's just that one has a heart, and the other is protecting the calf!
On the night of New Year's Eve, Liu Tingfeng took the eldest princess and Liu Xinning to Liu's mansion to have a reunion dinner and watch the new year.

Because you can't cry during the Chinese New Year, so as not to spoil your luck for a year.

Therefore, even if the people of the Liu Mansion were unable to come back because Liu Zhiya was suffering in Xiude Nunnery, and wanted to ask for mercy, they would not dare to make trouble at this time.

Therefore, this reunion dinner was eaten peacefully.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, honorable and noble ministers entered the court hall to attend the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting to pay New Year greetings to Emperor Qingping.

Liu Tingfeng, who seldom went to court due to his false position, but this time, because of his title as captain-in-law, he can finally go to the court in a legitimate way.

And Liu Xinning went to Liu's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to all kinds of people in Liu's Mansion, making people unable to find anything to talk about.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Xinning went to the palace to pay New Year greetings to the Queen Mother, the Emperor and all the princes and princesses.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, at the court meeting where the court opened its seal, Emperor Qingping issued two decrees before the dispersal of the court.

The first decree is: This year is the 66th birthday of the Queen Mother.In order to pray for the queen mother, there will be a test for Enke in both Wen Ju and Wu Ju.

As soon as this decree came out, the entire court began to boil.

There is an imperial examination every three years, if you miss one, you have to wait for three years.

It has only been a year now, and it is really rare to add an Enke.How not to be uplifting?

Although Enke's notification was late, people in remote places may not be able to catch up.

But it's a great thing after all.

Therefore, all the courtiers expressed gratitude.

After all, who doesn't have scholars waiting for the exam?

Even if you don't have it in your own family, there are old in-laws, relatives, friends, disciples, etc.

"Queen, the emperor is really filial to you. In order to bless you, I have added Enke."

Princess Changle, who happened to bring Liu Xinning to the palace to pay her respects, said to the queen mother with a smile.

The queen mother couldn't agree more, "A few days ago, your emperor came to ask for my opinion. I thought it was a happy thing, so I agreed."

Listening to Jia Enke, Liu Xinning couldn't help recalling the plot in the book.

In the book, there was no Ganke in Qingping's 18th year.

The queen mother at that time, because of the death of the original owner, has been lingering on the sick bed, feeling unhappy.

Maybe it's because of this that he doesn't care about Ganke, right?
After all, my family died, but your family is still happy.Who can be happy?
It should be because of this, right? ——Liu Xinning thought uncertainly.

But the second decree is: the fourth prince can be granted the title of King Ping, and the fiefdom is changed from the rich Qianduo County to the barren Shaokun County.

As soon as this decree came out, the court was in an uproar.

All the courtiers understand what it means to have a titled prince in this dynasty.

The well-informed person naturally found out that the four princes offended the Holy Majesty a few years ago, and they were reprimanded and banned.

But they didn't expect that the fourth prince, who had already been punished, would completely cut off the possibility of succession when he opened the dynasty.

When this decree was transmitted to the Palace of Mercy, Princess Changle and Liu Xinning were both stunned.

"Brother Huang is so kind to me." After a long time, the eldest princess said with emotion.

The Queen Mother glanced at Princess Changle, but hesitated to speak.

She only has two children, so she naturally hopes that they will live in harmony.If Changle thinks so, that's fine.

However, when the Empress Dowager looked at Shang Liu Xinning's thoughtful gaze and thought of her performance in the imperial study that day, she felt that she had to explain it to her alone.

When the eldest princess left the palace to learn archery in Fuguogong's mansion --- yes, the eldest princess had already been successfully persuaded by Liu Xinning, forgetting that archery was a rude thing Liu Tingfeng said.

The queen mother retreated from everyone and explained to Liu Xinning.

"The emperor told me before the decree. Not only because of the palace banquet the year before, but also because Xiao Si has not been very smart. So the emperor thought about making him king. His brothers will not target him again."

For the first time, the Empress Dowager brought up the open and secret struggle among the princes in front of Liu Xinning.

"So that's the case? I thought it was because of me that the punishment was so severe. I was uneasy, and I was thinking about asking Uncle Huang to ask for mercy."

Liu Xinning's look of lingering fear, fearing that it was because of her own fault, made the queen mother feel distressed when she saw it.

That's right, because of this attempted incident, a prince was kicked out of the succession to the throne. Who is willing to take such a big responsibility?
What's more, Ning'er is still a little girl who has not yet reached her age and has never experienced anything.

"It's not because of you, it's not because of you, don't worry about it." The queen mother hurriedly comforted her.

"That's good, that's good." Liu Xinning patted her chest lightly, looking relieved.

"The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan for it. From what my grandmother said, uncle Huang is afraid that the fourth cousin will have other thoughts? Fortunately, there were no consequences this time, otherwise, I would definitely have no face to survive. In order to save the lintel, I can only kill myself."

Liu Xinning said again with a gloomy expression.

It was none of her business that the fourth prince was withdrawn from the competition, she was the victim!

"You silly boy, what does this have to do with you? Even if that's the case, you have to live well. Grandma decides everything for you."

After the queen mother comforted Liu Xinning, she couldn't help sneering when she thought of Xiaosi's plot that the emperor had told her later.

The fourth prince is not smart, and the fourth prince and concubine are not very smart either.

Actually thinking of making Ning'er a concubine?
At that time, isn't it obvious who will take the seat of the princess?

Censor impeachment?Courtier objected?
She is very old, so what if she bears this infamy? ——She is just such a granddaughter.

"Thank you, grandma." Liu Xinning didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking at this time, but she still thanked her sincerely.

"You are a good boy. Don't worry, grandma will definitely protect you."

The Empress Dowager patted Liu Xinning's hand lightly, and all the words were reduced to this sentence.

Listening to the Queen Mother's sincere words at this time, Liu Xinning thought about a completely different plot direction.

It seems that in the book, the matter of the four princes being imprisoned for the sake of the people has been completely changed.

After all, a prince who has no possibility of succeeding to the throne will not be targeted.

If there are no accidents, it is estimated that the fourth prince - oh, it is King Ping, will be able to live his life smoothly.

That's all, that's all.The direction of the book has changed so much, this one is not bad.

Thinking of this, Liu Xinning continued to kiss.

The queen mother is her backer and guarantee when her current strength is immature, so naturally she should hold this golden thigh well.
