When the late Emperor Jingren was alive, he was a romantic and passionate person. During his reign, he had countless concubines, and the result was that children were springing up one after another. There were so many princesses and princes that they could form two football teams.
The current Holy Emperor is the fourth son of Emperor Jing Ren and the legitimate son of the late Empress Jing Min Ruizhuang. However, even though the Empress gave birth to a legitimate son, Emperor Jing Ren did not stop his passionate heart and still lingered among the flowers. The late Empress was virtuous and wise.
However, she was frail and sickly. She had a deep love for the late emperor and did not fight for his favor. Instead, she gained the respect of the late emperor. On a specific day every month, she would go to the Kunning Palace where she lived and make her legitimate son the prince. She took great pains to cultivate her.
After the current emperor married the princess at the age of sixteen, Empress Jingmin Ruizhuang passed away, and Emperor Jingren stayed in Kunning Palace for a whole month before recovering.
Now when he was twenty-five years old, Emperor Jingren was nearly fifty years old. However, when he was traveling among the people, he met Ning Ling, a daughter of a down-and-out scholar. He was so shocked that he took her back to the palace and made her a concubine with the title of Yue.
, was given a pepper room, and she was extremely favored for a while, causing all the concubines to cry out.
It is not a good thing for the emperor to favor only one concubine. There are so-called loyal ministers who follow the ancestral rules and call Concubine Yue a demon concubine who will cause harm to the government and the public.
But Yue Fei has no one and no one. She is just a little scholar's daughter. She is alone and has no backing. You say that she brings trouble to the government and the public because she is a woman? Don't be ridiculous. Doesn't it mean that being an emperor is a waste?
Later, when Emperor Jingren became angry and the days of equal rain and dew returned, all the ministers became silent and opened one eye and closed the other.
Concubine Yue seemed not to care about these rumors. She just laughed at them and continued to live her life without leaving home. With the emperor's favor, she gave birth to a son a year later. Before that, Emperor Jingren had already
There are sixteen sons and twelve princesses, the youngest of whom has just learned to walk.
Concubine Yue gave birth to seventeen sons, and Emperor Jingren was delighted. She named Concubine Yue a first-class imperial concubine, and her title remained unchanged. She also gave the son a name to pray for, and when the moon was full, he made her a king, with a title of virtuous, and a fief of wealth.
of Yangzhou.
What makes people feel strange is that since the birth of the Seventeenth Prince, none of Emperor Jingren's concubines were able to conceive. Legend has it that the late emperor drank the infertile medicine.
The Seventeenth Prince became the youngest son of Emperor Jingren, and he was doted on by him. Even when he was working in the South Study, he had to take the Seventeenth Prince with him, regardless of the dissuasion of his subjects.
The Seventeenth Prince is also very smart. He can speak in August and write poetry in March. He is known as a little prodigy. And he looks like Concubine Yue's smart and beautiful face, carved in pink and jade, which is loved by everyone.
The good times did not last long. When King Xiaoxian was four years old, Concubine Yue Guifei fell ill and died within a year. Emperor Jingren was in great mourning and for some reason suddenly disposed of many of his concubines. Soon they were also buried. Before his death, only
I am guarding the emperor before the collapse. After I ascended the throne, the first thing I did was to respect the late emperor's order and bury Princess Yue beside me. In the name of filial piety, I sent King Qi Qi to guard the imperial mausoleum until
Eighteen years old.
"The late emperor was too cruel. This child of four or five years old will be sent to guard the mausoleum in that gloomy place." Tian Minyan said blankly after hearing what Fang Xian said.
"Shh." Fang Xian glared at her, walked to the door again to make sure no one was there, and then whispered: "Misfortune comes from the mouth, be careful that the walls have ears."
Tian Minyan came back to her senses, stuck out her tongue, and asked: "What happened next? What happened to that wise king? In fact, I'm afraid that the person who is in charge today sent him away." At the last sentence, Tian Minyan lowered her voice.
Fang Xian snorted and said: "Everyone thinks so as you do, but the imperial edict was indeed issued by the late emperor. It was witnessed by the great scholar Shen and the current prime minister Zhuang."
Tian Minyan was dumbfounded and frowned, what was the late emperor thinking?
But she quickly figured out his intention. The beauty of the forest will be destroyed by the wind. In the cannibalistic place of the palace, it is not a good thing for a person to be too favored, especially for Concubine Yue who has no foundation and no connections.
For people, it is a life-threatening butcher's knife.
Xiao Qi Niang's father died, and without family support, he was treated like an orphan. The favor and wealth he had received before would only become a talisman to kill him. Not to mention, because of the death of Concubine Yue, he would die.
There are many concubines, and the families of those concubines still don’t want to eat his flesh and cramp his tendons?
It is the best thing to arrange for Xiao Qi to guard the imperial mausoleum. At least it will ensure his safety and grow up safely. As for what he can do after the age of eighteen, he can only rely on himself. However, I believe that the late emperor
Will there be other arrangements?
After thinking about it clearly, Tian Minyan sighed. Although Emperor Jing Ren was a stallion, he really loved Xiao Qi's miserable child.
It's really pitiful for parents in the world to have to arrange a way out for their beloved son before he dies.
"Then the wise king has not left the imperial mausoleum for fourteen years? People would not think that he was the emperor..." Tian Minyan made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Everyone thinks so, but you are also wrong. The emperor loves this younger brother surprisingly. He has sent heavy troops to guard him. He will visit the emperor's mausoleum every year. On some New Year's Days, he will also bring him back to the palace for a small gathering, like
Treat him like his own son." Fang Xian chuckled.
Tian Minyan was a little disapproving. If the emperor did this, he either had bad intentions or was a wolf in sheep's clothing and was hypocritical.
She touched her chin, thinking that a man in his twenties would not have that fetish for a child of a few years old? Thinking of this, she shuddered.
However, it is said that the imperial mausoleum is not outside. This imperial mausoleum is terrible. The saying that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away means that it is outside. Who knows?
"Then the seventeenth prince stayed in the imperial mausoleum until he was eighteen years old, and then he returned to the palace and showed himself in front of the ministers. Now the emperor loves this younger brother very much and does not let him move out of the palace. Instead, he gives him the wealth of the past.
The concubine lives in the palace, and her whereabouts are a mystery." Fang Xian added, and then frowned: "Normally, the prince has a noble status, so he shouldn't appear here. Sister Tian, even if he is a noble son of an ordinary family, right?"
Tian Minyan held her chin, it was such a familiar and ridiculous scene, and said: "I don't know, anyway, that person seems to be a noble person, not something we can compare with, and his surname is Qi."
Fang Xian's face was serious. Qi is the surname of the country. Could it be that he is really the Seventeenth Prince?
She thought about how casual she was when she got along with Qi Shiqi, and her heart tightened. If that person really had such a distinguished status, he wouldn't treat her disrespectfully in the future, right? He looked a little stingy.
Qi Shiqi sneezed several times in succession, wondering who was scolding me, and there was a burst of rapid footsteps behind him, which made his head hurt.
"My ancestor, what kind of wind are you standing here, freezing your body, how can I ask this old slave to make friends with the empress and the late emperor..."
