"Xiao Yunzi, the palace door is locked today, so please stay at my elder brother's place."
"Yes, Master." The gray-blue car drove around Chengqian Palace and stopped in front of Nansansuo. A palace maid came forward and called Xiao Yunzi.
The night was deep, and the main hall of Yongshou Palace was still brightly lit, like daylight. The golden armor became more and more ferocious under the candlelight. Concubine Xi half-closed her eyes, "You have been following Prince Bao for more than ten years, right?"
, Apart from me, you should be the person who knows his temper best." Xiao Yunzi knelt down and said with a trembling voice, "I dare not try to figure out my masters' thoughts. If your Majesty has something to do, just give me your orders, and I will do my best to handle it.
"
Concubine Xi: "After all, you are still a smart person. I want to ask you, did Prince Bao come back with Guar Jiayutang tonight?" "In reply to the queen, Aunt Fucha invited the master to a small banquet this noon.
, it happened that Tang Gege was also there, so my aunt asked me to send Gege back that night." Concubine Xi: "Oh? So, how do you think the relationship between the two of her is?"
Xiao Yunzi: "I feel that my master is not very friendly with Gege." Concubine Xi: "The two of them were riding in the same car. What did they say?"
"My servant and Princess's maid Xiaohu were both outside the car. They didn't hear clearly during the bumps. Zuo was just talking about the banquet hosted by Aunt Fucha today." Concubine Xi nodded, "Well, you can do it in the future.
Keep an eye on me, and if there is anything unusual, report back at any time!"
"Cha!" After seeing off Xiao Yunzi, Man'er served the hot soothing soup, "Your Majesty, you can relax now." Concubine Xi waved her hand, "Having said that, I have brought this matter to my attention.
Wake up, the previous government can no longer put off the matter of establishing a crown prince."
Since Emperor Kangxi, May every year has been the day to go to Mount Wutai to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings. According to the custom, emperors or crown princes of all dynasties have gone there in person. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the prince, Prince Lian, and the current emperor were all fortunate enough to be ordered to go there. The person chosen for this sacrifice was
The incident also caused undercurrents among the various parties in the previous dynasty. A group of elders, led by Zhang Tingyu, an important military official, strongly recommended Prince Hongli, while civil servants headed by Minister Haiwang strongly recommended that he go to Wutai Mountain with Prince Hongzhou. The emperor in the Jinluan Palace also
It is difficult to judge this.
When the important ministers were arguing, Li Weifang, who had always remained neutral, said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Li Aiqing came quickly." Li Wei said: "I believe that when praying for blessings and offering sacrifices to God, you should obey God's will. Since all the adults have different opinions on the candidates for praying, for the sake of fairness, I suggest drawing lots." Mr. Zhang Ge
He snorted coldly, "This matter concerns the country, how can it be such a child's play?"
This Mr. Li often never stops talking without making any surprises, but because he and Emperor Yong knew each other at a very young age, he helped the Fourth Master overcome many difficulties with his ingenuity during the battle to seize the throne in Kowloon, so he won the respect of Emperor Yong. Emperor Yong
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think Li Aiqing's move is not entirely unfeasible. As early as the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying of 'butterfly luck' in the selection of concubines in the emperor's family. Today, when we select a prince who prays for blessings, we follow the example of our ancestors and let the fourth
Each of you and Lao Wu paint a picture in the imperial garden. The one who can attract butterflies wins!"
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the six palaces in the former palace exploded. After hearing the news, Concubine Geng Jia immediately ordered all the people in the palace to go to the imperial garden to catch butterflies in preparation for the "butterfly luck" the next day. Then she summoned
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Haiwang, entered the inner palace to discuss, "Master Hai, how should we plan this matter?" Haiwang glanced at the butterfly in the lampshade and came up with a plan, "My dear, I have a countermeasure. Butterflies are insects.
Science, in this way, you can use some medicine to soak into the rice paper for painting, and wait until it is stained with ink, covering up the medicine itself, and naturally the ghosts will not notice it." Concubine Geng Jia thought for a moment, "This plan is very clever, but Hong Zhou's
side···"
Hai Wang: "Prince He has a noble character and would not bother to do such a thing. The empress can just hide it from him." "What Master Hai is thinking about is that Master Hai has been helping my son for many years, and it's him."
My son will repay you tenfold in the future to express my gratitude for your kindness today." Haiwang said: "The empress is serious in her words. She and the prince grew up under the old man's watch. They have been quick-thinking and intelligent since they were young.
I also believe that the prince will become a benevolent king in the future."
Over here in the Yongshou Palace, Concubine Xi was having a fit, "This Li Wei, isn't this nonsense? The emperor is so used to it, isn't he just letting people act as rafts to take advantage of loopholes?" Man'er: "Please have a cup of tea first.
By the way, this is not a big deal." Concubine Xi: "No, this matter is not only related to sacrifices, but also to the establishment of a heir apparent. I must not take it lightly."
Man'er: "As you said, this matter involves a lot. I'm afraid you are in the same mood as Concubine Geng at this moment. From what I can see, Long Live Lord has always been very thoughtful. This matter is by no means as simple as it seems." Man'er said.
The words woke up the dreamer. Concubine Xi then thought, "You are really a fan of the authorities. Man'er, you are really a good medicine for me."
"Your Majesty, don't you still trust me? The late Emperor has taught me this skill since I was a child, and I have received some advice from Prince Yi. We don't need to do anything, we are much better than others." After hearing this, Concubine Xi was very impressed, and her face gradually showed.
Smiling, "We Hongli are naturally good. Let's keep the same in response to all changes. Let's see what tricks Geng Jia can come up with!"
