warm garden

fresh.What is the name of the little prince? "

Princess Lan replied: "Zhao Yi, Zhao Anchen."

Bai Heyun nodded and said: "Good name, calm and willful."

After the banquet, I led the guests to tea, chatted and laughed, and then they all dispersed. The servants and maids tidied up the house, after cleaning, they went to the housekeeper, Uncle Zhu, to collect the rewards, and went to rest.

☆, a family friend

Bai Heyun entered the palace, and before he arrived at Jingxi Palace, he saw Mu Jingfu's personal maid, Zihua, walking towards him. When he saw Bai Heyun, he was taken aback for a moment, and said softly, "Sister Yun!"

Bai Heyun went up to meet Zihua and grabbed Zihua: "Zihua, it's me. I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"

Zihua's eyes were wet and she said happily: "How can I be wrong? Sister Yun is here to see my young lady? Oh, it's my mother-in-law, hehe, look at me, I'm so happy and confused! Sister Yun, follow me quickly. "Zihua wiped away her tears and led Bai Heyun into Jingxi Palace.

Bai Heyun asked while walking: "I heard that Jingfu doesn't see anyone, but can anyone enter this Jingxi Palace?"

Zihua said: "Yes, no one else is allowed to enter Jingxi Palace except the official family, the little prince, Madam Xu, me and the maids and eunuchs working in Jingxi Palace, even the empress is not allowed to enter, Sister Yun Naturally, oh, I'm confused again, it's time to call you Mrs. Yun instead."

Bai Heyun smiled and said, "You can just call me Sister Yun, how is Jingfu?"

Before Zihua could answer, Madam Xu who was standing facing her hummed, "But Miss Yun?"

"Well, it's me, I'm here to see Jingfu" Bai Heyun said softly with a tight voice.

"Hey, ok, ok, let's go in now." Nanny Xu led Bai Heyun in to meet Imperial Concubine Jing.

Nanny Xu is Mu Jingfu's nanny, and she and Zihua have always been by Mu Jingfu's side. To Mu Jingfu, they are already family members. Bai Heyun's memory also has these two intimate figures.

In the Buddhist hall, Mu Jingfu was sitting on a meditation mat, twisting Buddhist beads with her hands, reciting scriptures lightly, and burning cool and elegant sandalwood, as if she had become a painting in silence.

"Jingfu!" Bai Heyun called out.

Mu Jingfu stopped the rosary and scriptures, turned around and saw Bai Heyun standing at the door, there was a gleam of joy in her calm eyes, she got up, walked over to hold Bai Heyun's hand and smiled silently.Zihua and Xu Momo hadn't seen this Concubine Jing smile for many years, and they burst into tears with excitement.

Mu Jingfu pulled Bai Heyun out of the Buddhist hall, came to the bedroom, chased away the maids, and said to Zihua and Madam Xu: "Bring in some good tea, wine and delicious food, don't let anyone come near the bedroom , I will talk to Yun'er."

Zihua and Nanny Xu were about to go out, when Bai Heyun asked Mu Jingfu: "Is the little prince here? I still want to see my precious nephew."

Mu Jingfu said: "Nurse Xu, bring Chen'er over to play with Miss Yun."

"Okay! I'm going now, old slave!" Nanny Xu agreed, and left the dormitory together with Zihua.

Mu Jingfu pulled Bai Heyun to sit on the edge, and said: "Yun'er, the war in the northern border is dangerous. I am very worried about you fighting in the battlefield for many years. I have to recite a few volumes for you and Mingxuan every day in the Buddhist hall. Pray for the scriptures, burn a few more sticks of incense in front of the Buddha, you finally returned safely, pregnant, and gave birth to a son, I am so happy for you!" As he spoke, his eyes were wet, "Our Yun'er is blessed with great fortune."

Bai Heyun smiled and said: "I miss you very much too. I don't know if you are doing well. I gave up confinement yesterday and came here today. I haven't seen you for many years. I have a lot to say to you."

"Well, okay, let's talk slowly."

At this time, Nanny Xu carried the little prince into the bedroom, brought him to the couch, and then went out.

Concubine Jing embraced her son and said: "Chen'er, this is your Aunt Yun, she is the closest relative of mother, and also your second mother."

The little prince was silent and just looked at Bai Heyun quietly.

When Bai Heyun saw the little prince, he was overjoyed. This child had radiance in his eyes, his brows and eyes looked like Mu Jingfu, with elegance and aura, and his appearance was extraordinary. He was only three years old, and his facial features were so exquisite, as blue as blue.

Just as Bai Heyun wanted to get up and hug this cute little prince, he saw him slowly walking over, with his hands on Bai Heyun's lap, and he raised his head to stare at Bai Heyun.Bai Heyun was blown to pieces by the cuteness, his mind went blank for a while, he regained his senses and quickly picked it up and put it on his lap, hugging and hugging.

Concubine Jing was surprised and said: "It's strange, Chen'er never gets close to people, why is that?"

The little prince remained expressionless, and calmly replied: "Mother is happy today because of Aunt Yun, and I am also happy to see Aunt Yun."

Bai Heyun sighed heartily: "This child really doesn't laugh. Why is his thinking and language so clear when he is only three years old. When I was three years old... um... I didn't know what thinking is. I'm really ashamed."

Bai Heyun laughed and said, "What a sweet baby! Say it! Say you like Aunt Yun!"

The little prince: "..." Crawled into the couch from Bai Heyun's lap, then faced the two people sitting on the edge, sat upright, with piercing eyes, and remained silent.

Clear thinking, straightforward behavior, quite assertive, elegant and standardized.Bai Heyun was shocked again by this three-year-old doll, and he fell in love with this style!She turned her head and asked Mu Jingfu: "It's so cute, how could you be so smart?"

"Chen'er was born peaceful and thoughtful. Although he is three years old, he already knows a thousand characters. Because I recite Buddhist scriptures all day long, he also memorizes some short scriptures. He always looks at me and has a cold temper. See It turns out that Chen'er likes you very much." Mu Jingfu said calmly.

Bai Heyun wanted to go back to when he was three years old and see what kind of shitty things he had done.

"What's your son's name? From now on, they will be brothers." Mu Jingfu asked.

Bai Heyun smiled and said: "Ming Huan, Ming Xiao Yang, laughing Huan, laughing laughing, the sun of the sun. I came here in a hurry today, I haven't come to the harem for many years and I don't know the situation, I will bring you to see it in the future!" "

Mu Jingfu said: "Don't, the child is too young, don't catch the cold, bring the older ones, we mother and child will wait."

A small but clear voice said: "Ming Huan...Xiao Yang."

Both of them turned their heads to look over at the same time, and it was the little prince who said quietly.

"Well, yes, bring him in the future, will you like him?" Bai Heyun teased.

The little prince's eyes lit up, and he hummed with burning eyes!Suddenly he stretched out his hand and pinched Bai Heyun's arm forcefully, with very obvious intentions, as if to say: It's a deal!Don't go back on your word!

Bai Heyun held back a smile and looked at this little baby, thinking: "If he wasn't the prince, I really want to take him home like this. No wonder the queen and the empress dowager want to snatch it, they are so smart." Bai Heyun The more I think about it, the less serious I become.

"Seeing that you are living in peace and having Chen'er by your side, I am also relieved. How did you live in the past few years when I was not in the capital? When I left, you had not yet entered the palace." Bai Heyun's tone was hesitant and puzzled.

Mu Jingfu looked at her son, and said to Bai Heyun: "Well, a lot of things have happened, and the future will be long. Don't worry."

"Okay, Chen'er is here today, let's just talk about something festive and fun! How about it, Chen'er?" Bai Heyun really likes this little prince, and also realizes that this child is so smart, there are indeed many things that cannot be said in front of him. He said it face to face, wouldn't it be a heinous crime for an adult to be stained with such a flawless treasure.

The little prince: "..." He fell silent again.

The two chatted about the past, and the little prince was sleepy, so he lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Unconsciously, it was getting late, Bai Heyun couldn't help thinking about his son, and Mu Jingfu also understood, and did not leave Bai Heyun to spend the night in Jingxi Palace.There is a curfew in Miyagi, Mu Jingfu pulled Bai Heyun and only said: "Come and see me when you are free."

As soon as Bai Heyun left the palace, he saw his own carriage guarding the gate of the palace, with Ming Ruiran standing beside him.

Along the way, Bai Heyun thought about it: "Jingfu whitewashes the peace, this palace is not that simple, there is nothing wrong with Jingxi Palace, why can't Jingfu avoid it, with Chen'er by her side, but why is she so gloomy and cautious? "

Ming Ruiran asked, "How is Jingfu?"

"It looks fine, but I always feel that something is wrong. It's too late today, so I'll go later." Bai Heyun said firmly.

In the cool night, Ming Ruiran tightened the neckline of Bai Heyun's fox fur, and hugged him into his arms, for fear that Madam would catch cold: "Okay."

When the carriage reached the main street, there was a commotion on the road. Bai Heyun opened the window and looked out, and saw several people watching at the door of a pawn shop. Among the crowd was a child about five years old. It was the cold spring of April. Ragged clothes, poor clothes, very pitiful.Being pushed and scolded by a man who looked like a pawnshop owner, the child was holding something with tassels tightly in his hand, but he couldn't see what it was.

Bai Heyun called the driver, and got out of the car to have a look. The Duke naturally supported his wife and got out of the car together. The boss saw what kind of gods and nobles they were, and no one in the entire Bianjing City recognized Wu Guogong and his wife.Immediately, he closed his voice and smiled respectfully.

Bai Heyun pulled the child over and saw that he was holding a palm-sized yellow jade ring in his hand, thinking: "This is not something that ordinary people can have, how precious it is!"

Duke Wu asked the boss, "What's the noise?"

The boss replied: "You don't know. This kid came to me to be a thing. You have seen it. How can he look worthy of that kind of utensil? He must have stolen it. The villain is going to report to the police. You came here and disturbed you, and I hope you will forgive me."

"It wasn't stolen, it was given to me by my mother! I want to exchange it for 50 taels of silver. If you don't agree, will you push me to report to the police?" The boy suddenly replied loudly.

What? 50 taels?This Huang Feijue is worth a thousand gold at least, such a beautiful Huangfei Jue is rarely seen even in the palace, how can it be stolen at will?This pawn shop actually refuses to pay 50 taels?

Bai Heyun thought to himself: "What a black-hearted pawn shop, bullying children, this boss must not be a good person."

The boss was anxious for a moment: "Little Huangkou, you are talking nonsense, you are stolen goods, when did I discuss the price with you?"

What kind of people are Wu Guogong and his wife, how could they get entangled with such villains, they took the boy away without saying a word, and when they got to the carriage, Bai Heyun asked: "What is your surname and name, why did you become a man?"

"My name is Jue'er. Mother didn't tell me what my surname is. I want to hire a doctor for mother in exchange for money for medicine." The boy's expression was honest and open, and there was no falsehood.

"Jue'er..." Bai Heyun said in his heart: "I think Huang Feijue is the child's family heirloom. The weather is cold, the clothes are ruffling, shivering from the cold, but only thinking about mother's medicine money, He must be a good boy who is tolerant, virtuous and filial." He asked again: "Where are the adults in the family? How could a child of your age come out as something?"

"I only have my mother, and no one else. My mother is asleep." The child looked like he was about to cry, and he couldn't tell whether it was anxiety or fear. "Asleep? Where do you live?" Ming Ruiran asked.

"The foot of the mountain on the north side of Baohe Lane seems to be called Bailu Mountain." The child replied vigilantly.

"Then let's go and see your mother?" Bai Heyun felt that it was the farthest place in the capital. If it wasn't for the same direction as Duke Wu's Mansion, it would be a long way to drive a carriage.

"Is Madam a doctor?" the child asked.

"Yeah, good boy, get in the car." Bai Heyun really didn't lie, he was forced by his father since he was a child, and was forced to become proficient in medical skills.

It was already dark and the wind was getting colder. When the carriage drove to the foot of the mountain, they saw a dilapidated house. The coachman handed over a lantern, and the couple followed them in. When the lantern shone, the house was bare and nothing was there.

The child called mother, but no one answered, Bai Heyun walked to the bed, and found that the woman on the bed was no longer breathing, she seemed to have passed away not long ago.

"Jue'er, your mother...she has passed away and is no longer here." Bai Heyun said in a low voice.

"What is death?" The child didn't understand.

"It's just... dead." Bai Heyun replied.

Wu Guogong and his wife brought the child back to the Duke's mansion. The next day they ordered the woman to be buried in a quiet place on Bailu Mountain. They took Jue'er to bid farewell to his mother and burned the paper money.After returning to the mansion, he instructs Steward Zhu to place Jue'er in the mansion, saying that the child has good physique, is smart, and behaves purely, benevolently and filially.It was named Mingjue, styled Yanlin.Report to the government office, not a slave.Butler Zhu went to make arrangements.

Just three days later, Bai Heyun went to Jingxi Palace again early.

"Where's Chen'er?" Bai Heyun asked Mu Jingfu.

Mu Jingfu said: "When you come in, you'll find Chen'er, didn't you come to see me?"

"Of course I came to see you, and I also want to see Chen'er."

"The official took it away and said it would be brought back at night."

"Can Chen'er be taken away casually? Where did she go? The harem is dangerous, it's not obvious from the outside, and there's a lot written in the storybook!" Bai Heyun was very worried.

Mu Jingfu said: "If the official family takes her away, they will definitely stay close to each other. It's okay. Others are not allowed to enter the Jingxi Palace, so naturally they won't be taken away by anyone."

"It's fine if you're not here, so you can talk." Bai Heyun and Mu Jingfu sat down around the desk together.

After Zihua burned the sandalwood, she went out to screen off the palace people, and was not allowed to approach the sleeping hall.

"Jingfu, why did you enter the palace?" Bai Heyun asked.

☆, world friendship two

Mu Jingfu sighed, "I knew you would ask about this. The days back then were like a sweet dream. You are the only daughter of the Bai family, I am the first daughter of Zuo Adviser Mu Changqing, and Chang Jie is still an official. The son of Bu Shangshu, the current official family was still a young, cheerful and laughable Prince Rui at that time, and Shen Xuan... We play and play together all day long, knowing nothing about sorrow, knowing that people's hearts are sinister. Everything is completely changed in the blink of an eye. It has become what it is today. As you know, Chang Jie and I have had a marriage contract since we were young, and we have always been in love with each other. Unexpectedly, the whole Chang family was imprisoned overnight, and they died unjustly in prison within a month. Chang Jie Three days after his death, the northern border was restless. You were sent out of Beijing. Of course you didn’t know what happened next. After Chang Jie died, I had the idea of ​​committing suicide. I didn’t have any water or rice for three days. I passed out and woke up. I saw my mother crying beside the bed, saying that I was pregnant, and my father stood quietly by the door without saying a word. For me and Chang Jie's child, I have to live."

Bai Heyun was very shocked: "Then Chen'er???"

"Chen'er is a child of the official family." Mu Jingfu said very calmly.

"My father is a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. How could he allow the eldest daughter to become pregnant before leaving the cabinet? My mother wanted me to abort the child in my womb. I refused to do so. My father had no choice but to let me get married as soon as possible. How can I marry someone else?"

"Why did Chang Jie die unjustly in prison?" Bai Heyun asked.

"After the death of Chang's father and son, I heard from my father that King Ping and King Hui were fighting openly and secretly for the heir. Chang Jie's father was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and supported King Hui. King Ping couldn't win over, so he found a crime to frame the Chang family. The killer. Soon, King Hui was shot and killed during the spring hunting. The murderer was a young general who participated in the spring hunting together. He said it was a manslaughter. The officials were sad and beheaded the general."

Bai Heyun: "!!!"

Mu Jingfu continued: "At that time, I was three months pregnant, and I was thinking of running away by myself, giving birth to a child in a place where no one could find it, and raising him alone. Prince Rui knew that the Chang family was in trouble, and was worried about me. Reckless, he often came to visit, and my father always made excuses not to let me see anyone, for fear that the scandal would spread. Prince Rui couldn't see me a few times, and felt that something was wrong, so he climbed the wall to the backyard to see me in the middle of the night. He learned that I was pregnant. Pregnant, very anxious. He said he was going to find a way, and then climbed over the wall and left."

"Prince Rui and you and I are on good terms with each other, we have a very strong relationship, so we must be worried." Bai Heyun sighed.

Mu Jingfu said: "The next day he brought a matchmaker to the door and said he wanted to marry me as his side concubine."

Bai Heyun was surprised: "What!?"

"My father was overjoyed, and immediately agreed to this marriage. That night, Prince Ye Rui climbed the wall and came in to see me, saying that he could only think of this way. He is a prince after all. If he wants to marry a concubine, he must be brought into the royal family for inspection. My body can't bear the inspection. If it's a side concubine, I can say I'm unwell after passing through the door, and I don't want to go out. Only Zihua and Xu Nai can serve in the mansion, so that I can protect me and give birth to Chang Jie's child. Come down, if the month doesn't match, just say premature birth. Be a couple in name." Mu Jingfu said calmly.

Bai Heyun sighed sincerely: "Prince Rui is of the blood of the royal family, to be able to make such a decision, he really is not an ordinary man with a kind heart!" He said in his heart, "In various senses..."

"Shortly after marrying into Prince Rui's residence, a case of drunkenness occurred in the capital. On Mid-autumn night, restaurants, theaters, and entertainment venues were all bustling with activity. A general went to Manchun Courtyard with his companions after drinking in the restaurant. , a well-known entertainment venue in Bianjing, Yingyan drank a lot of flower wine while drinking, and competed with others in a delirious manner, attracting all the people in the building to watch, and accidentally injured someone, and was beaten to the head It was Xue Yan, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was bleeding. At the beginning, Xue Yan was close to King Hui. The general who shot and hurt someone took advantage of the wine and shouted: "Yo! I know you, you are King Hui's lackey. Dare to snatch a woman with me, your master was killed by my master, why do you want to accompany Hui Wang as a dead ghost? Come, come, I will see you off, you are welcome!' When these words came out, the whole The spring courtyard was dead silent for a moment. The drunken general was taken into the dungeon. After the interrogation overnight, the verdict was that King Ping planned to kill King Hui. The officials were furious, and King Ping became a commoner. Not long after, King Ping died .The official family is old, appointed Prince Rui as the crown prince, and soon passed away, so Prince Rui became the current official family."

Bai Heyun thought in his heart: "The way of heaven is reincarnation. How could someone as kind as Prince Rui win by lying down like this?"

"Prince Rui ascended the throne, hid me in Jingxi Palace, and made me Noble Concubine Jing. He told me not to go out. He had just ascended the throne by accident, and his foundation was not stable. He was afraid that I would be in danger and be caught by people with bad intentions. In the end, it was for me I can raise my baby with peace of mind. He is busy with government affairs, and he is worried that I will be uneasy after entering the palace, so he finds time to visit me in Jingxi Palace, and I ask him that the child will be a prince after birth, so what happens if the royal blood is messed up? He said it’s okay, if you want to copy it, you can copy it with him.” Speaking of this, Mu Jingfu smiled slightly, with a calm expression.

Bai Heyun was stimulated too much today... He couldn't speak for a while, so he could only stare at Mu Jingfu with wide eyes, and continued to listen.

"At that time, I was the only concubine in the harem, and the courtiers thought of various ways to send their daughters to the palace. In order to stabilize the situation more quickly, the officials married some powerful officials and daughters of prominent families as concubines. However, he did not establish a queen for a long time, and no matter how much the courtiers persuaded him, he was still unmoved. At that time, I was six months pregnant. At this time, my mother came to the palace to see me and brought my favorite snacks. I had unbearable abdominal pain, and the officials called all the imperial doctors to come for diagnosis and treatment, but in the end they failed to keep the baby. I had a miscarriage, and it was a boy. The officials thoroughly checked my daily diet, and the imperial doctors found that there was something in the snacks brought by my mother that made the pregnant woman conceive. Later, the officials secretly interrogated my parents. It turned out that they thought that the officials married me without knowing that I was pregnant, and they were afraid that if something happened, a blood test would come and hurt the whole family. , My mother said that my father was worried about this all day long and couldn't sleep, so he made such a bad plan for the Mu family's dozens of people."

Bai Heyun's soul today seemed to be struck by lightning again and again. In addition to the infinite surprise, there was also a heavy heartache in his heart: "How could this happen..." It is really hard to say whether there is blood relationship in this world, whether they are related or not. .

Mu Jingfu was a little sad: "The officials asked me how to deal with it, and I said I don't have any family anymore, so I don't have to ask me how to deal with it in the future. This secret matter just became nothing, and the officials exiled my father from the capital to go to Xingguo County became a county magistrate. Not long after, my mother died of illness, and my father reincarnated. I have nothing to do with you. When you and Mingxuan went to northern Xinjiang to fight Liao, Tubo in the west frequently invaded the western border of the Song Dynasty. At that time, Taiwei Hu Going to resist Tubo's invasion, led troops there, and asked the officials before leaving whether they could marry his daughter as the queen. I heard that Taiwei Hu's daughter was unruly and self-willed, without talent and virtue, and the officials were very unwilling. Taiwei Hu has repeatedly I mentioned it, and finally asked the officials if they looked down on the general's daughter because this dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs. In this way, there is such a queen in the harem."

Bai Heyun said: "It's hard to be an official."

"You, I, the official family, and Chang Jie have known each other since childhood. They have similar temperaments and deep feelings. The official family often visits me. I have never heard that the official family loves any concubine, and they even refuse to pay attention to the queen. I come to my place very frequently. You and I have studied literature and martial arts since childhood, and also learned the art of war. He often chatted with me about some things in the court in Jingxi Palace, and occasionally drank tea and played chess to chat about the past. Jingxi Palace is still the former Prince Rui. I understand that he is worried that I will lose Chang Jie first, and that I will lose my child because of my close relatives. He is afraid that I will commit suicide after thinking about it, so he often comes to accompany me. I am very grateful to him." Mu Jingfu's tone was calm, as if she was describing something about someone else.

Seeing that she was so calm, Bai Heyun must have healed the old wounds of the past. Although it was sad, it was not as painful as when the incident happened.At this time, Bai Heyun also felt that Prince Rui was a worthwhile friend when he was young, a rare good person.

Mu Jingfu continued: "Once the official's family had some wine at night and came to Jingxi Palace to chat with me about the boring things in the court that day. I asked Zihua to make some hangover soup. When Zihua went, the official's family suddenly said At first, he wanted to drive away all the people in the harem, including the queen, leaving me alone. I think this sounds a bit inappropriate. The official talked about his childhood again, saying that he I fell in love with me when I was young, because I had a marriage contract with Chang Jie, and he was very congenial with Chang Jie, so he hid this feeling. After Chang Jie died, he came to ask for marriage when he learned that I was in a difficult situation. First, he protected me and Chang Jie. Son, secondly, it is good to have the friendship with Chang Jie, and thirdly, it is better to keep me by your side. Later, the court was in turmoil, the official ascended the throne, the border was uneasy, and the harem was in trouble. They wanted to make me queen, but they were afraid that they would not reveal it to me. I was worried that I had no intention of him not wanting to be queen, so I didn't become queen for a long time, but in the end someone else was appointed, and I was extremely sad."

Bai Heyun suddenly remembered that when he was young, every time he met Prince Rui, if Jing Fu was not by his side, Prince Rui would definitely ask why Jing Fu was not with him.At that time, he still laughed at him, saying that he and Jing Fu were not conjoined. ……I see.I don't know whether it should be said that Prince Rui hid it well back then, or he was too dull.

"That night the official hugged me and cried and laughed for a while, which made people feel distressed. Zihua brought hangover soup and gave it to the official to drink. Maybe the hangover soup is useless. After Zihua went out, the official hugged me tightly... ... There are also many maids and eunuchs on duty in Jingxi Palace, I can't make a sound, so I have Chen'er, and the next morning, he woke up and said sorry to me, then got up and went to court."

Bai Heyun asked: "What do you think? The Buddha said that the heart of the past is unattainable. Let go of the past, give each other a new chance, and live a good life."

Mu Jingfu said: "Not long after, I felt unwell. The imperial doctor diagnosed me as pregnant. The officials were very happy and came to accompany me every day. I really owe him a lot, and he treated me very well. Now I have With his flesh and blood, I think it’s good to have a new start like this..."

Bai Heyun finally felt a little better.Although still a little heavy.

"After all, the harem is full of dark tides. Even if I hide in Jingxi Palace, I will not be able to live in peace." Mu Jingfu took a few sips from her teacup.

Bai Heyun thought in his heart: "It's only been a few years, it's so miserable, and he still can't live in peace, it's really unforgiving." He asked: "What happened?"

Mu Jingfu said: "In order to protect me, the officials told me not to leave Jingxi Palace easily. Because I never walk with other palaces, others will naturally not come to my Jingxi Palace. Because of this, the officials did not It is announced that no one is allowed to enter the Jingxi Palace. The queen has no children, and was disgusted by the officials. When she learned that I was newly pregnant with the official's flesh and blood, she felt resentful. When the official's family had just left the capital for a tour, she led someone into Jingxi Palace. palace."

Bai Heyun was furious: "It's unreasonable! What does she want to do?"

"The empress ordered Jingxi's palace people not to move without authorization, and also ordered the eunuch to call me out of the palace to kneel down to welcome the phoenix. I was seven months pregnant, and I thought in my heart that the officials treated me very well. I could not bear to give him more It's fine if you're troublesome, just obey the Queen's will and kneel down to receive her." Mu Jingfu said.

Bai Heyun clenched his hands on the table into fists, his eyes were red, and the murderous aura on the battlefield instantly lingered all over his body.

Mu Jingfu said: "The queen leaned over and said to me: 'Concubine Jing is pregnant, it's a great thing, I, a queen, should also come to visit, no, I know pregnant women can't drink alcohol How about treating Imperial Concubine Jing to a cup of tea instead of wine?" After she finished speaking, she took a cup of tea from the eunuch and handed it over. I said that I haven't slept well lately, so it's not suitable to drink tea. The queen is holding me down again. I think The poisonous tea must be forcibly poured down."

Bai Heyun shouted angrily: "The poisonous woman deserves to be killed!"

Mu Jingfu smiled lightly, and stroked her wrist: "Look at you, you are worthy of being a general. After a few years, you have become violent. Everything is over, am I fine now? Chen'er is too All right. I will practice martial arts with you, you are highly skilled in martial arts, galloping on the battlefield, when did I become weaker than you? I have always drawn with you in competitions!"

With a pop, Bai Heyun turned his anger into a smile: "That's because I let you go. What happened next?"

"The queen brought more than [-] people, so I naturally fought with them. Zihua took the opportunity to sneak out of the palace to chase after the official's house. I really have a handicap when I am pregnant with a child. Fortunately, they are just ordinary palace people, so I can handle it. .”

Bai Heyun curled her lips worriedly and said: "That's true, even if you are about to give birth, you won't lose if you beat them. After all, you have learned a lot of my Bai's secret skills. If you beat a group of people who don't know martial arts If you suffer a loss, it will be too embarrassing for my Bai family. Although you can't beat me, you can still dominate the harem. They don't know, and they deserve it for being beaten by you for nothing. "

Mu Jingfu smiled and pushed Bai Heyun's arm lightly: "Yes, yes, you are right."

"You hit the queen?" Bai Heyun asked.

"No, when I was fighting with the palace people, the official family suddenly rushed into Jingxi Palace with guards, and surrounded Jingxi Palace inside and outside." Mu Jingfu replied.

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Bai Heyun asked.

Mu Jingfu said: "Later, I heard from Zihua that after I ran out of the palace, I met the officials leading their troops back. Zihua told me about the empress rushing into the Jingxi Palace and forcing me to drink poisonous tea. The official family. The official family came with the forbidden army, and the queen was shocked. She was shocked that I knew martial arts. The official family returned to the palace less than half a day after the tour, which surprised her even more. The official family carried me back to the bedroom. It was ordered to call all the imperial physicians in the palace. Seeing that the matter was exposed and the situation was not good, the queen had to kneel in the hospital in panic. More than a dozen imperial physicians arrived, checked the pulse, and said that there was nothing serious, only a slight fetal movement After taking two days of anti-fetal medicine, the mother and child will be safe. The officials called these more than a dozen imperial physicians to the hospital. The family slapped three times in the face and threw them to the ground, and ordered the guards to kill all the people brought by the queen. Because of the pity that the palace people did not protect the master, everyone except Xu Nai and Zihua had two sticks. Ten, and ordered that no matter what happens in Jingxi Palace from now on, all the palace people must protect the master, and if the master is wrong, they will all be killed with sticks!

The officials tortured and tortured the empress's maid in charge on the spot, and learned that the miscarriage medicine was given by Imperial Physician Hu. Imperial Physician Hu and the Empress were relatives. There were more than a dozen imperial physicians present, and Imperial Physician Hu was among them.The officials ordered the guards to escort Dr. Hu to the prison, where he was asked to be executed the next day.He also said to all the imperial physicians: "In the future, if there is any mistake in Concubine Jing, she will be strictly investigated, and all those involved will be killed with a stick."Concubine Fan Jing was unwell, and those who could not be cured were taken off their posts and sent to prison, and those who procrastinated and delayed their illnesses were killed with a stick. 'He also decreed on the spot: from now on, no one is allowed to enter the Jingxi Palace except for the invitation of Concubine Jing, and anyone who violates it will be killed with a stick.The queen was confined to her bedroom for half a year. "

Bai Heyun let out a breath and said, "It's dangerous! If the official family doesn't come back and the queen keeps calling for people to come, you will suffer a lot if you have a big belly."

Mu Jingfu said: "Well, later the officials said that he felt something wrong not long after he left the palace. He was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to trouble Jingxi Palace when he was not in the palace. He originally wanted to call a guard back to order to seal Jingxi Palace. But he suddenly felt flustered, so he turned back immediately, and when he saw Zihua coming out of the palace to ask for help, he knew something had happened."

Bai Heyun said: "Fortunately, the officials are quite careful."

Mu Jingfu said: "The next day, the officials were in the main hall and reprimanded Taiwei Hu for being ineffective in teaching the daughter, for harming the harem, trying to mutilate the concubines, and poisoning the prince. The evidence is conclusive. Seeing that Taiwei Hu still has military achievements, The queen was imprisoned for half a year. Hu Taiwei was reduced from the second-rank Taiwei to the fifth-rank defense envoy, surrendered his military power in court, and was demoted from the capital to take up his post in Qiongzhou.

At that time, the eldest son born to Concubine Qing died before he was one year old, and the second prince born to Concubine Qiong caught a cold when he was half a year old and had a fever. Poor, bedridden for at least half a year, he is also a poor child, and the imperial physician who treated the second prince was Imperial Physician Hu. Although there is no evidence, it seems that whoever planned to do it secretly seems to be indistinguishable now.The official ordered that from now on, all the princes, regardless of whether they are injured or accidents, chronic illnesses or casualties, regardless of whether they are related to the queen, will all be counted on the queen's head. Any accident to the emperor's heir will be punished by the queen in public, and the queen will take care of her The responsibility of the emperor's heir, if there is a mistake, the queen can hardly escape the blame!

The queen was imprisoned, her natal family lost power, and she was given such an order, so she had to settle down and did not cause trouble again.Only then did the third prince, fourth prince, fifth prince and Chen'er come into existence. "

Bai Heyun asked: "Such a serious crime, the evidence is solid, but why did you not abolish the empress on the grounds of your natal family's military achievements?"

Mu Jingfu replied: "At the beginning, all the censors and advising officials also asked this question, and they all expressed their opinions. The officials did not express their views. Come to Jingxi Palace and tell me: 'The Hu family has lost power and is in the back position, and there is no threat. , if the empress is abolished, I don’t know how many courtiers tried their best to send a new empress, which would be a headache. There are many things in the six palaces, and I don’t want to disturb your quietness. If you want to be empress one day, just say the same.’Later Chen Chen'er was born, and he loves Chen'er very much. Just thinking about that day, I was a little bit pregnant, and the dozens of lives killed by the rod, although there was a reason for it, it is really hard to laugh. Tranquility, but I can no longer laugh as freely as I did when I was young, after a long time, the calm Miyagi is really depressing." Mu Jingfu shook her head and sighed.

"Indeed." Bai Heyun said.

"Fortunately, you're back, I'm very happy." Mu Jingfu smiled reassuringly.

☆、Secretary Three

As he was talking, he heard someone entering the hall.Bai Heyun looked back, it was the official who came in with Chen'er in his arms.Bai Heyun got up and was about to pay respects, when the official held the little prince with his left hand, and supported her arm with his right: "Jingxi Palace doesn't need to be formal."

Bai Heyun replied "Okay", and looked back to see that Mu Jingfu was still sitting there and didn't even get up, she just took another teacup and poured tea.I know that in fact, Jingfu and the official family have grown more than 100 times stronger than before during the four years when she was not in the capital.

The official family put down the little prince, and sat around the wide table on the ground, facing Mu Jingfu. Jing Fu pushed the freshly poured tea to the official house, her movements were gentle and smooth, very natural.

Bai Heyun sat back, side by side with the officials.

"It's great that Yun'er is here. Jingfu and I miss you very much. After you returned to Beijing to report on your duties, you returned to the Duke's Mansion. I heard that you were pregnant and gave birth to a son. What a happy event!" The official said heartily. laughed.

Bai Heyun smiled and said: "Well, I knew you were enthroned when I was in Beijiang, but I was a little surprised to see you become emperor when I came back!".

"Hahahaha! When I became the throne, I was very surprised!" The official laughed even more heartily.

Mu Jingfu's eyes were soft but she didn't even smile.

Bai Heyun felt that there was an indescribable strangeness in the atmosphere, and secretly speculated that there seemed to be some problems between the two of them. Mu Jingfu must have some things that she didn't say, and said in her heart: "No matter what, it's all suffering." Now that they are in the official house, these two women don't even have a smile on their face all day."

Chen'er had already sat obediently beside Mu Jingfu, as always, bright and silent.

Bai Heyun said: "Back then when you were Prince Rui, you played like us all day long, and I didn't see that you were interested in the affairs of the court, and you didn't cultivate party members, so suddenly ascending to the throne is really quite embarrassing, it's really hard for you. "

The official said: "You really understand me! At that time, I had to put on airs when I went out, and it was a little easier to go back to the study and Jingxi Palace. It was really exhausting. Those old ministers always made things difficult for me, which made me miss Xianyun Yehe even more. Days. You and Ruiran have worked so hard in northern Xinjiang
