A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

Sun Caiyao was taken to the Mingyue Palace and slept soundly. When she woke up, the sky was already bright.

The birds were singing outside the window, and she looked at the picture of the peony "medicine" embroidered on the bed tent, and was stunned for a long time.

Suppressed crying came in from outside the bed canopy, she propped herself up and sat up, opened the curtain and saw her mother who was covering her face and wiping her tears.

"Miss Sun is awake."

Someone called out, someone put a cushion behind her, someone put a robe on her, someone fed her steaming porridge, and a woman put her hand on her wrist, as if Is calling for her pulse.

"Both qi and blood are depleted, you are too scared, don't think too much." Doctor Liu retracted her hand, walked to the table and prescribed the "medicine", and handed Mrs. Sun to stop the crying: "It's not a big problem for Qianjin's health, go back. It’s okay to take a break for a while after you get home.”

"Many thanks to Doctor Liu." Mrs. Sun knew that Doctor Liu was the granddaughter of Imperial Physician Liu, the sage of Xinglin, and was highly valued by the Empress.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Sun." Liu Yinu turned her head and bowed: "I'll take my leave first, and ask Miss Sun to rest well."

Miss Sun?

Sun Caiyao stared blankly at the back of Liu Yinu's departure. Since she married Yun Yanze, no one called her Sun girl. Is she dreaming at the moment?

"Cai Yao, mother will pick you up now." Seeing her daughter woke up, Mrs. Sun didn't say a word, and her strong tears fell again: "Your Majesty and the Queen have already allowed me, and you will bring me when you wake up. You go home, let's go."

"Go home?" Sun Caiyao grabbed Mrs. Sun's hand tremblingly: "Where are you going back?"

"Sun Mansion, your home."

"Is it really possible?" She was afraid that it was a dream.

Mrs. Sun nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's go."

Even in a dream, she wanted to escape from this palace.

"Miss Sun, it's your reward from the Empress, please take it back with you."

"Your dowry has been sent to the Central Palace to clean it up, and you will send it back in a few days."

"The soft sedan chair is ready. Miss Sun, pay attention to her feet and don't blow the cold wind."

However, it was a dream, she was a royal "wife", how could the majesty and the queen let her go back to her mother's house, and give her a reward, even the dowry.

Sitting in the rickety sedan chair, watching the sedan chair get closer and closer to the palace gate, it only takes a few dozen steps to walk out of the palace.

Close, close, Sun Caiyao held her breath until the soft sedan chair passed through the high palace gate and into the bustling street.

Listening to the clamor outside the sedan chair, she buried her head in her palms and burst into tears.

In the past, she only thought some voices were noisy and vulgar, but now she understands how valuable it is to have some again.

[Because you are asking me for help. 】

This sentence appeared in her mind, and Ming Jiuzhu's every expression when she said this sentence was deeply remembered in her heart.

She will owe Ming Jiuzhu all her life, and she will never pay it back.

When Sun Caiyao returned home, the whole family treated her as if she had never been married. Only then did she know that Yun Yanze had been demoted to a commoner and exiled from the genealogy for sending someone to assassinate her, offending Shengyan, and being unfaithful and unfilial. He was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison of the Zongren's Mansion for the rest of his life.

Yun Yanze committed such a big crime. As his concubine, not only was she not implicated, but she was also put back home?

"Not only that, your majesty has also sealed your township lordship, allowing you to remarry in the future." Mrs. Sun looked at her daughter's thin face: "Don't worry, your father and I have already prepared heavy gifts and will go to Ming's house to thank you."

Sun Caiyao nodded, Jiuzhu saved her in Yun Yanze's hands, it was time to thank her.

"Last night, King Chen and Princess Chen braved your Majesty's anger and stood up to beg you for mercy." Master Sun bowed his hands in the direction of the palace: "Your Majesty is merciful, looking at the merits of our Sun family for the common people, not only I set you free and saved you a face."

The title of the lord of the township has no food, and it is not a real title, but it preserves the dignity of his daughter and the Sun family. It was the Majesty and the Empress who showed the world that the Sun family and their daughter knew nothing about the Fourth Prince's treasonous actions.

"Your Majesty is virtuous, the queen is kind, and King Chen's husband is benevolent and righteous. Our grandson family is ashamed of the royal family." At first, the king wanted his daughter to marry King Chen. Happy, and even tacitly agreed that her daughter had contact with the fourth prince.

Unexpectedly, in the end, after going around in circles, the one who saved her daughter from water and fire was the husband of Chen Wang's wife.

The fourth prince he favored was a beast and a hypocrite.

"King Chen and Ming Jiuzhu... Intercede for me?" Sun Caiyao sat on the bed in a daze, and did not recover for a long time, not even knowing when her father left her room.

After the fourth prince was thrown into the prison of the clan's mansion, and the numerous crimes he committed were "revealed", the expressions of the officials who had praised the fourth prince became very exciting.

Above the court, no one dared to intercede for the Fourth Prince.

Murder a brother, do it a second time if it fails once, "insert" eyeliner in other brothers' houses, and even deliberately send people to spread rumors and smear the reputation of other brothers.

The first prince is reckless, the second prince is stupid, and the fifth prince is playful. Behind these remarks, there is actually the handwriting of the fourth prince and his biological mother?

Listening to the officials of the sect's mansion reciting the crimes of the fourth prince one after another, the officials began to suspect that the assassination of King Ning last year was a bitter trick of the fourth prince himself.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that it only hurt him a little bit of flesh.

When the sect's manor finished reading the crimes of the fourth prince, Emperor Longfeng blamed himself: "The son does not teach, the fault of the father is all my fault.

what. "

When the ministers heard it, they couldn't make your Majesty feel bad, so they stepped forward to comfort him.

"The nine sons born to the dragon are different from each other. The first prince is good at martial arts, and he is very heroic." It's just that sometimes the "personality" is too straightforward.

"The second prince is benevolent, honest, and has countless advantages." It's just that the advantages are not very obvious.

"The fifth prince is smart and alert, with a pure heart, and both loyalty and filial piety." The one who stood up to praise the fifth prince was not an official of the Ministry of Rites, but Mr. Chen who liked to slap his head against a pillar whenever he disagreed.

After he opened his mouth, there was a moment of silence in the court room, and then many people praised the fifth prince, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were especially active.

"Is the words of the Aiqing true?"

"Naturally."

"The ministers do not dare to deceive the king."

"I understand your thoughts." Emperor Longfeng sighed and nodded: "It seems that the canonization of the crown prince is imminent."

All courtiers, look at me, I look at you.

Did you petition Prince Li just now?

It's not me, I don't, is it not you?

You see what I am doing, I politely followed suit and praised the Fifth Prince.

So everyone didn't mention the matter of the crown prince. Did the emperor bring it up by himself?

Some time ago, they asked Bi to set up the prince, but he didn't respond. Now they don't mention it, but he took the initiative to speak.

what is it call?

Will it be more fragrant if you bring it up?

"Through the matter of the fourth prince, I understand one thing, it is not a good thing for the crown prince to be vacant."

Oh.

"As a father, I should let them know how to grow up. As an emperor, I should let them know how to take responsibility."

Simple, simple way of speaking.

"Since you all praise the fifth prince's pure heart, benevolence, filial piety, and virtue, then I will follow the wishes of the Qing family and canonize the fifth prince Du Qing as the crown prince."

Ministers: ?

ah? !

to their will?

Otherwise, how is it to be an emperor, the degree of shamelessness is really incomparable to ordinary people.

"Where is the supervisor of Qin Tianjian?" When he said that he had to comply with the will of the minister, Emperor Longfeng didn't wait for a moment. He looked at the supervisor of Qintianjian, who was out, and said, "Which is the most auspicious day for the canonization of the prince?"

"Go back, fourteen days later, it will be the auspicious day when everything is good."

"Very good." Emperor Longfeng nodded: "Then it will be set on this day. Do you have any suggestions for the ceremony of the canonization of the prince?"

Listen, the question is about suggestions for the ceremony, not about the selection of the prince.

It was as if they had any suggestion, and Majesty could change his mind.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li En, Minister of Rites, stood up and shouted, "Congratulations, Ma, for choosing the best candidate for the crown prince."

the best?

Bah, shameless flatterer, relying on King Chen, how much benefit did he get for the Ministry of Rites?

"His Royal Highness canonized as the crown prince, which is what everyone expects."

The one who stood up next time was Wang Shilang from the Ministry of Housing.

Everyone turned their heads, I didn't expect, ah, I didn't expect that even the speed of flattering the Ministry was so fast.

You must know that when the Ministry of Household came up, I used to admire the Fourth Prince very much. I didn't expect to see the wind turn the rudder so quickly, trying to pull the thigh of King Chen.

Geez, it's so realistic.

Look at the eldest and third child of the Ming family. King Chen is their son-in-law of the Ming family.

As expected of the Ming family.

The fact that the fifth prince was canonized as the prince could not be changed. Although the fifth prince does not occupy the chief, but he is from the middle palace, and he occupies a direct line.

The successor is not established, and there is no mistake in picking the rules.

If the current behavior of King Chen was the same as it was two years ago, they would stand up against it no matter what, but they saw the change in King Chen.

They also counted the memorials and instructions he helped him to review.

The most important thing is that the unruly words and deeds of the fifth prince also hide a benevolence towards the common people.

He may not be the perfect image of the prince, but he is the most important thing for the prince.

Kindness and virtue.

The memorials that are divided into states and counties are the best proof.

Therefore, even if the way the fifth prince acted was a bit absurd, they acquiesced.

When night fell, Emperor Longfeng pulled King Chen to sit on the steps of Taiyang Palace, just like a father and son sitting in the overgrown garden of the diving residence more than ten years ago, eating roasted sweet potatoes while watching the stars.

It's just that what they are holding now is not sweet potatoes, but delicate desserts sent by Queen Su.

"Royal father." King Chen looked up for a long time, and his neck was sore: "There are no stars tonight, why don't we go back. After you go to accompany your mother, I will go back to accompany your daughter-in-law."

Their father and son, an emperor and a prince, are sitting on the steps of the gate, what does it look like.

Hearing his son mentioned his daughter-in-law's "wife", Emperor Longfeng's expression became subtle for a moment: "I didn't expect that Ming Jingzhou was gentle and gentle, and the daughter he gave birth to was quite powerful."

"It's not that she's strong, she's just too angry." King Chen retorted: "After returning to the Qilin Palace last night, Erchen 'rubbed' her leg for half an hour."

Don't talk, don't talk.

The dignified lord, closing the door and "rubbing" the legs of his daughter-in-law for so long is nothing to brag about.

"You don't have to

Shi, the royal father understands. Emperor Longfeng patted him on the shoulder: "Son, as men, we must be gentle with our daughter-in-law, and don't make them angry, you know? "

The Ming family treats him faithfully and wholeheartedly. If his daughter beats you up, the father and the emperor can't support you.
