Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Li was shocked and angry, but she had no choice. The late emperor had left, and there was no one to protect her anymore. Moreover, her son was not living up to expectations, and even now he could not protect her as a mother-in-law. What else could she expect?

Mrs. Li has been proud all her life. Ever since she entered the palace, she and the Empress Dowager have been at odds with each other. The two have been fighting for their whole lives. Although they are said to be evenly matched, if they really wanted to compare, Mrs. Li always thought that she was slightly better. new

Everything was obviously going very smoothly, and the path she planned for her son was going smoothly. When did things start to go wrong?

Yes, it started when my brother had an accident.

Why did something happen?

It was the prince who checked Yan Yin, and Su Xinyi was also involved a lot in this. Later, Su Xinyi became the prince's concubine. From then on, he would vomit three liters of blood every time he faced her, and he would take a step back in defeat.

Yes, there is Fuyun...

King Yi...

One after another, one after another, the events of so many years passed through her mind. Mrs. Li really regretted it. If she had known this, if she had been a little more tolerant to Fu Yun, maybe her son would not have been trapped in the back house all the time. Don't get away from things.

On the contrary, ever since King Rong embraced the Crown Prince, the journey has become smoother and smoother. The Queen Mother is a shrewd person, and she is willing to bend down to show her favor to Su Xinyi for the sake of her son...

She couldn't let go of her arrogance, couldn't swallow her breath, and always thought that she could do it and could pave a beautiful road for her son...

Li covered her face and cried, not only for her deceased father, but also for herself and her son. She would spend the long years under the eyes of the Queen Mother.

Seeing Mrs. Li crying so miserably, the Queen Mother didn't feel particularly happy for a moment. She looked at her solemnly, turned around and walked out.

"Empress Dowager, are you okay?" Aunt Zhao followed the Queen Mother out. Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't look well, she asked worriedly.

The Queen Mother slowed down and walked out slowly, saying as she walked: "Do you still remember that when I was pregnant with Prince Rong, I was almost miscarried by Mrs. Li?"

"Why don't you remember this?" Nanny Zhao was still very angry when she mentioned this matter. Fortunately, the pregnancy was saved, otherwise the mother would have been extinct in her life. "Back then, Mrs. Li relied on His Majesty's favor and was very rude to the Empress. She pretended to fall and bump into you, causing you to have an infection in your fetus. She pretended to be in front of His Majesty and allowed her to escape."

Listening to Nanny Zhao's angrily words, the Queen Mother sighed and said: "Yes, I really hated her back then, but we were evenly matched. I didn't make it easy for her when she was pregnant with Prince Xiang. She knew that I was the one who moved her. But I can't punish me in front of His Majesty."

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Aunt Zhao said clearly, "How is that the same? It was Li who made the first move, and you just fought back."

"For so many years, I have been fighting at par with the Li family. If I really want to gain the upper hand, it will be after King Rong follows the crown prince."

"What the empress said is that His Highness Prince Rong is very smart."

The Queen Mother chuckled softly, "What's wrong with him? He's just a fool. He had a grudge with Su Xinyi at the hunting ground, but I showed her shame and had someone give her two boxes of stuff to slap her in the face." . Now that I think about it, I feel a little hot."

"The Queen Mother also loved her son very much at that time, and the Queen Mother knew it in her heart."

"Yes, the Ai family is indeed not as open-minded as the Queen in this regard. However, the Queen is more blessed than the Ai family. She is the only one around His Majesty so far. She does not have to be as careful and cautious as I am in the harem. So she can see You can open it up and let it go."

"The Queen Mother, please don't say that. Later, when the Queen Mother came to the East Palace, it was not for you to look after and support her. The Queen Mother, who was still the Crown Princess, could live a comfortable life. ɯoɔ˙xnɥs is in front, and the Queen Mother's reward is behind. , this is what comes and goes, and good people are rewarded."

Good guy?

The Queen Mother doesn't think she is a good person. She has lives in her hands all her life, so there is nothing she can do about it. If she doesn't do it, others will do it to her.

She wanted to live in glory, and if she wanted to protect her son, she had to not give in.

Up to now, she is satisfied in this position. She has suffered all the hardships in the first half of her life, and she can enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren in the second half of her life.

His Majesty quickly made a decision on what to do with the Li family. Taishi Li was the elder of the three dynasties who should enjoy the Ancestral Temple after his death. However, because the murder of the prince was too bad, he naturally could not be sent to the Ancestral Temple again. However, in view of the fact that Taishi Li had done a lot to Nan Qi in his life. Fortunately, the prince was safe and sound in the end, so the merits and demerits were balanced and there was no further investigation.

As for Li Cairen, the Queen Mother came forward to punish her and demoted her from the position of noble concubine to that of a talent. Now Concubine Ruan Ming and Concubine Qi Xian have become serious concubines, but she only has the title of talent and is not even qualified to stay in the palace. , the Queen Mother ordered Li to go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb of the late emperor.

King Xiang naturally wanted to plead for Li, and the foreign minister could not kneel down in the Zichen Palace. Before His Majesty saw him, King Rong jumped out as if he was mad and scolded King Xiang.

"The crime of murdering the crown prince should be punished. Your Majesty, thinking of the brotherhood, showed extra mercy to the Li family so that the Li family could bury Grand Master Li safely. As for Li, considering what she did, it was already a mistake not to put her to prison and execute her. On the other hand, how dare you come to plead for mercy? Tell yourself, what is the crime of murdering the prince? "

King Xiang looked at the furious King Rong and wanted to say that the prince was safe and sound.

But in the end he didn't say these words. He knew that if he said it, he might even anger His Majesty.

Prince Xiang was being roasted on the fire during these days. No matter it was the Li family or his mother and concubine, he could not save anyone. It was not until this moment that he remembered what his mother and concubine had said to him, and he realized that he The lack of progress back then resulted in the hopeless and helpless situation today.

It was all because he failed to live up to his expectations, and it was he who harmed his grandfather and his mother-in-law.

If it wasn't for him, why would they take such desperate risks?

Prince Xiang's whole body seemed to have been drained of energy. When he left the palace, his shoulders were hunched, and he seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.

It was the twelfth lunar month before our eyes, and it was the New Year in a blink of an eye. Because the late emperor had a great visit this year, this new year was not as lively as in previous years. The courtiers were also very sensible at this time and did not say anything that would upset the emperor.

After the Lantern Festival, the New Year is over. After the start of the new year, the first thing to do is the spring draft, so it suddenly becomes lively.

Whether it is the ministers of the six cabinets or the imperial censor, all of them are making great achievements. It is really a lively event.

Su Xinyi picked a bunch of winter jasmine flowers, trimmed them, and put them in a thin-necked suet jade vase. She listened to Forsythia talking about things outside, with a slight smile on her lips.

"...Mother, you don't know. His Majesty said that he had a deep love for the late emperor and his son, and he would observe filial piety for the late emperor for three years according to folk customs, so there will be no draft within three years." Forsythia couldn't help but be excited as she spoke. Get up, this is really a good thing. "My servant didn't see it, but I heard from Zhan Qiao that there was a quarrel in the courtroom, and the ministers' faces were as green as if they had a layer of watermelon rind hanging on them."

Su Xinyi's movements stopped, and he didn't draft for three years?

Su Xinyi was happy and followed the folk tradition of observing filial piety for three years, which was a way to get the best of both worlds.

Just as she was thinking of this, she suddenly heard familiar footsteps. She turned her head and saw Yan Junchu's tall figure walking in.

Forsythia hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, then bowed and retreated.

Su Xinyi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is in court?"

Yan Junchu stood in front of Xin Yi, lowered his head and met her eyes.

Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat, she pursed her lips and suddenly became a little nervous.

Yan Junchu suddenly became happy and gently hugged the person into his arms, "You know everything, right?"

Su Xinyi leaned on Yan Junchu's chest and nodded slightly, "I understand. Your Majesty will observe mourning for the late emperor for three years and resign from this spring's draft."

Yan Junchu smiled but said nothing.

Su Xinyi tightened her arms around him and said softly: "I still remember the promise your Majesty made to me back then, and you didn't break your promise."

"It has only been three years, and you are so relieved?" Yan Junchu said softly.

"Even if it's only three years, I don't know how many women will envy me." Su Xinyi smiled, "Besides, I believe you, there will be countless three years after the first three years."

"Countless three years?" Yan Junchu smiled softly, "What you are saying is that we will have many, many three years in the future."

Su Xinyi said nothing. At this time, in this man's arms, she only felt at ease and calm.

"Ayuan..."

"I am here."

"Spring comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides, morning and evening, year after year, this life will be as you wish, we will have countless three years. It is enough for you to believe in me."

"Me too."
