"Yes..." Qiaoxiang did not dare to disobey Wei Zijin's wishes, so she responded respectfully and led Prince Xiao Yi out of the imperial garden.
It wasn't until she left the Imperial Garden that Qiaoxiang stopped and whispered to Prince Xiao Yi: "Your Highness, you really shouldn't have peeked in the dark just now!"
Prince Xiao Yi smiled knowingly and whispered: "I was also curious. My mother brings such a large jar of wine to the lake on this day every year. She has never changed this habit..."
Qiaoxiang nodded silently. Indeed, since her master became the queen, she has used pear blossom wine to worship the former Prince Zhaoming every year on this day. The emperor never stopped her. Sometimes she and the queen would sit by the lake and toast.
It’s as if Prince Zhaoming has never left!
"Aunt Qiaoxiang, my mother cherishes those pear blossom wine the most, and my father also loves my mother's pear blossom wine the most. Why does my mother still waste this precious pear blossom wine by pouring it into the lake?"
Prince Xiao Yi asked doubtfully. Seeing that Qiaoxiang seemed to be deep in thought and did not answer, he pulled Qiaoxiang's sleeve and said, "Aunt Qiaoxiang?"
Qiaoxiang came back to her senses and lowered her head to look at the curious expression on the prince's face. She knew that His Highness the prince liked to study so much. If he didn't tell him, unnecessary trouble would probably arise!
She thought for a moment and finally said slowly: "Your Highness, the Queen poured this pear blossom wine into the lake, not to waste it, but to use this pear blossom wine to worship a person..."
"who?"
"Prince Zhaoming of the previous dynasty—His Royal Highness Xiao Changgong!" Qiao Xiang said this, paused, and added: "Because Prince Zhaoming lost his footing and fell into the water while visiting the lake on this day, and the Queen has always loved Prince Zhaoming,
Also Zeng Hezhao
Prince Ming made an appointment to have a drink together, but before the agreement was fulfilled, Prince Zhaoming passed away. Therefore, on the anniversary of the prince's death, the queen brought a jar of fine wine brewed by herself to worship Prince Zhaoming, which was regarded as repaying her regret.
stop……"
After hearing the truth narrated by Qiao Xiang, Prince Xiao Yi said with sudden realization: "So that's it. No wonder the queen mother is in a bad mood at this time of year!"
He is still young, but he has heard anecdotes about Prince Zhaoming, and he also believes that the person his mother loves must be a person of first-class character!
"Yes, so don't bother the queen!" Qiao Xiang nodded, took the hand of Prince Xiao Yi, and gently advised: "His Royal Highness, just study hard today, and go and apologize to the queen tomorrow!"
"I know!" Prince Xiao Yi nodded clearly and returned to the Prince's Palace with Qiaoxiang. Suddenly he remembered something and asked again: "By the way, Aunt Qiaoxiang, there are so many servants and protectors around the Prince, that Prince Zhaoming
, how could a perfectly good person slip and fall into the water and die?"
Qiaoxiang, who was arranging the desk for the prince Xiao Yi, stiffened slightly. After a while, she said quietly: "There are too many turbulent and strange things in the palace. Your highness, the prince, is still young. There are some things that I will tell you soon."
I don’t understand, but you have to remember that you must be on guard against others. No matter how powerful you are, there will always be people plotting behind your back!”
This was the first time she said such words to the young Crown Prince Xiao Yi. Perhaps it was cruel for the young Crown Prince to realize these things, but it was precisely because she had experienced so many things with the queen that she suddenly understood that sometimes
