impersonating queen

Shao Wangshu, who was missed by Ji Taipin, was playing on the swing in the small garden of Hanzhang Palace.Qin Jiaqian wanted to get closer to him, but he didn't know how to coax him. According to Mingzhu, children like to play on swings, so she set up a swing for him in the small garden in the back hall.

Shao Wangshu sat on the swing in a daze, being pushed back and forth by a young eunuch.

The east side hall of Hanzhang Palace had already been cleaned up, and Laifu and Mingzhu came in and out to instruct the eunuchs and maids to pack up.

Shao Wangshu was taken off the swing in a daze, and then led into the east side hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a qin, which was placed in front of the window. Mingzhu saw him staring at the qin, and explained: "This The bell is one of the four famous zithers, originally belonged to Mr. Ping, after Mr. Ping left, he gave the qin to His Majesty, and His Majesty passed it on to the Young Master."

Although Shao Wangshu was in the deep palace, he had also heard of "Master Ping"—the emperor's master Ping Qiujin.

It is said that Ping Qiujin loves the piano the most.

"Young master will live here in the future," Mingzhu led him around the Dongpian Hall. Even though Shao Wangshu didn't know the goods, he could feel that this house was full of priceless treasures. Shao Wangshu instinctively felt that something was wrong. But Qin Jiaqian and the others didn't intend to explain, Shao Wangshu pretended not to know, anyway, a six-year-old child is ignorant and only listens to other people's arrangements.

The meal in the evening was still eaten with Qin Jiaqian, and the taste was not as good as yesterday. Shao Wangshu felt drowsy after eating.

When Shao Wangshu was half asleep and half awake, he vaguely felt that someone picked him up and held his right shoulder, and then a piece of cold ointment was applied on it, and he heard Qin Jiaqian's deliberately lowered voice, "light hands and feet Don't hurt to wake him up."

Shao Wangshu wanted to see what it was, but his eyelids were too heavy to open, and his mind was not very clear. After struggling for a long time, he fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, when Shao Wangshu woke up, the first thing he did was to look at his right shoulder in the mirror. The right shoulder was smooth, and the diamond-shaped birthmark had disappeared.

Shao Wangshu pursed his lips, and his eyes fell on the "bell" by the window - it is rumored that the current emperor, Qin Jiaqian, did not live in the palace before, but was accidentally exiled among the people. It was Ping Qiujin who found him and brought him back to the palace. , Qin Jiaqian, as the empress dowager's son, was named the crown prince, and Ping Qiujin became the prince's tutor. The whole country knows that Qin Jiaqian and Ping Qiujin have a good relationship between master and apprentice.

After a while, Shao Wangshu lowered his eyes and pulled up his clothes.

Most of the children in Duke Huai's palace were enlightened at the age of four, and Shao Wangshu was already six years old and had not yet gone to school. Qin Jiaqian decided that he would go to Zhixue to study in two days.

There was a lot of trouble in the Zhixue Academy, and now there were Qin Jiaqian's younger brothers, relatives of the emperor, and the sons of ministers who were selected as accompanying students in the Zhixue Academy, all of whom were rich and precious.

The first one to make trouble in front of the Queen Mother was Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu had a son who was seven years old and ranked ninth. He was originally called Qin Jiaqi. After Qin Jiaqian ascended the throne, in order to avoid his name, he changed his name to Qin Yuqi. Pain this nine sons.

According to the custom of the Huai Kingdom, the princes can only leave the palace to build a mansion when they are 16 years old. Although the first emperor has gone, Qin Yuqi is not yet old enough to build a mansion, so he still stays in the palace to study, and Concubine Liu also continues to live. In the harem.

Concubine Liu wiped away the tears that did not exist, and said to the queen mother: "The queen mother knows that it is not a concubine who caused trouble, but the concubine has to take Xiaojiu's safety at heart."

The Empress Dowager was burning Buddhist incense on the table, twisting Buddhist beads in her hands, and said nothing.

Concubine Liu said: "Shao Wangshu killed his own father not long after he was born, and a few days after he entered the palace, he also killed the king of Chengyang County and his mother. If we teach him to go to Zhixue Institute, how can he beat me? Son?"

Concubine Liu continued: "The Zhixue Institute is full of valuable people, not to mention my son, there are many young masters, should he be the one to do harm?"

The Empress Dowager raised one eyelid: "Concubine Liu, be careful with your words." It is taboo in the palace to say these "killing death", it is considered unlucky and afraid of troubles in the palace.

Concubine Liu wanted to say something more, but the queen mother stopped her in a neutral manner: "Concubine Ji begged His Majesty, and it was His Majesty who ordered him to study. If you have any objections, just go to His Majesty."

Concubine Liu is a concubine, and she has run into trouble with the Empress Dowager. The other concubines and concubines rested their minds after hearing the words, and even with their courage, they dared not go to the emperor to beg him to take back his life.

The emperor was busy with political affairs, so he probably didn't know Shao Wangshu's origin, at most he knew that it was Ji Taipin's newly adopted child, and it was time for him to go to school when he was old, so he agreed.It is not easy for them to explain Shao Wangshu's ins and outs to the emperor, after all, it is really fatal to say "resist death" in front of the emperor.

The concubines and concubines had no choice but to remind their children: "Stay away from that broom star, don't get in bad luck, do you hear me?"

In the past two days, Qin Jiaqian was busy with government affairs, often Shao Wangshu was still awake when he went to court, and Shao Wangshu had already fallen asleep when he finished handling government affairs.

Qin Jiaqian could only go to the side hall every day after returning to Hanzhang Palace to see the sleeping Shao Wangshu.

In order to deceive others, and also to rest assured, Qin Jiaqian did not go to Hanzhang Palace to arrange new servants to serve Shao Wangshu, but allocated Mingzhu to him. The hall serves.

Qin Jiaqian helped him close the quilt, and when he smelled the Anshenxiang incense in the hall, he frowned slightly, called Mingzhu out, walked a little further, and made sure that Shao Wangshu would not be disturbed, so he asked, "Why did you light the Anshenxiang incense?"

No matter how easy it is to use calming incense, it is also a spice, and too much is not good for the nasal cavity.

Mingzhu replied: "The young master has not slept well these few days, he would wake up once or twice, and the servants would light incense."

"Accept the bed?"

It was also the first time for Mingzhu to see her, "It looks more like a nightmare."

Qin Jiaqian ordered: "Hurry up and see the imperial physician tomorrow."

"Yes." Mingzhu thought for a while, but still said the truth: "After the young master woke up, the servant went in to comfort him, but the young master insisted that he didn't have a nightmare, so he asked the servant to go out. He also refused to leave anyone around to serve him."

"Is it because no one is left behind, or no one is left in the hall?" Qin Jiaqian asked.

Under normal circumstances, there is a bed under the bed of the masters, and there will be a little eunuch sleeping on the bed with his clothes, waiting to take care of him at any time. There is also a small hall outside the room, where the maids and eunuchs on duty live. If there is any movement at night Can come in anytime.

Some masters are impatient with the slaves who have to guard their feet, and find it troublesome.

"Never stay."

Qin Jiaqian nodded slightly, "What did you use today?"

Mingzhu knew Qin Jiaqian wanted to ask, so she kept it in mind, "For breakfast, I used two pieces of steamed chestnut cake with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, a bowl of egg custard, and a bowl of tofu soup. For lunch, I used two chopsticks of winter melon with tomato sauce, two chopsticks of spinach, half One steamed crab in a cage, two chopsticks stuffed with wine, and a small bowl of bone soup. I didn’t use much at night, only three Crystal Emerald Shrimp Dumplings.”

The Crystal Emerald Shrimp Dumplings are only the size of a thumb, and there are really not many in one bite.

Qin Jiaqian said: "Starting tomorrow, I will add a portion of milk at night. If he thinks it smells fishy, ​​he can replace it with eight-treasure cheese." Drinking milk at night is good for sleeping.

Qin Jiaqian nodded to the maid standing outside the door, and immediately a palace servant came up to change Qin Jiaqian's clothes, and Qin Jiaqian changed into a pair of soft-soled shoes, "I'll see him go."
