Chapter 60
One will eventually be broken
After hearing the news, the queen smiled even more.
"That's right, Your Majesty, as long as you wake up and choose a prince well, the kingdom of this great dynasty will still be yours."
The Wang family, which has been prosperous for a hundred years, needs a prince who will repay his kindness to continue his glory.
What the emperor wanted was real power.
Spears and shields will eventually break into pieces.
——
When the imperial edict came out, some families were happy and some were sad.
For example, the Second Prince's Mansion was full of celebrations. Xie Chenke wanted to set up two tables to liven things up, but then gave up the idea and stayed low-key.
The Third Prince's Mansion was as silent as death, and the Fifth Prince... seemed happy for a few days, and even felt more motivated to go to the study.
As for the sixth prince, he is an exception. It is said that he is still busy fighting with the outer chamber and does not even return home often.
There was a time when the sixth prince disappeared for a few days, saying that he was taking his beloved court lady to a hot spring.
"Tsk tsk, Lao Liu will still enjoy it."
After school, several princes gathered together, and the second prince teased the sixth prince.
"Second brother, why do you need to make fun of me? There is a new oiran in Ruyifang, who is more beautiful than the one I have. Why don't you go and have a look?"
The second prince waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't dare let your sister-in-law hear this."
"oh"
"Second brother has a new sister-in-law, so naturally he wouldn't dare." Xie Chenyu smiled charmingly and strode away with his hands behind his back.
The shiny and smooth mink fur shines in the spring.
Tsk tsk, what a handsome and elegant noble son. Unfortunately, his handwriting is not very good, but his riding and shooting skills are good, and he finally lives up to his ancestors.
After withdrawing their thoughts, several people left the palace together, and the younger ones returned to their own palaces.
It was nearly March, and Lin Ximeng had not seen Xie Chenyu for a long time.
She completely let herself go, sleeping in, eating and drinking, and occasionally fishing for Snowball to eat. The flowers in the backyard were all blooming, so she found a few flower pots and shoveled back a few to put on the porch.
Snowball often went over to nibble on it, and occasionally took a nap on the flowerpot.
A veritable flower pot cat.
When Xie Chenyu came, Lin Ximeng was taking a nap on the porch, and Xueqiu was purring in her arms.
Qingqing woke up, and Lin Ximeng was startled and fell to her knees.
"See Your Highness"
This time he behaved well, his attitude was respectful and cautious, just like a snowball. Not to mention how well-behaved he was these days, he didn't even show his claws for a long time.
"Get up"
Lin Ximeng stood up to thank her, served tea and poured water herself, and rubbed her shoulders and back diligently.
She vowed to serve her husband Shu Tan, become the most competitive concubine, and climb the Internet step by step.
"Have you learned well?"
Xie Chenyu closed his eyes and felt comfortable.
"Of course, Your Highness, don't worry. From now on, whenever I ask for more from my concubine, it's because I'm ignorant. I just ask you not to forget me."
Xie Chenyu wanted to laugh, but held it back.
"You don't have to say it so openly. I won't do anything to you?"
Lin Ximeng bit her lip and stopped talking.
——
The next day, Xie Chenyu and everyone left the Zhuxiao Courtyard, but Hun'er still lingered, her legs and feet couldn't help trembling.
All I could think about was Lin's enchanting posture last night.
This woman, she is simply too bold.
Where did he learn this skill? Even the handsome man who wandered around the flowers was shocked.
As a result, it took me a long time to realize that Zhao Liangdi had been sitting in front of me waiting for a long time.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhao's heart felt a little cold and she suppressed her laughter.
"The empress sent someone to ask if there is a girl that Your Highness likes. I think she wants to keep your attention."
"The empress also said that since the age difference between you and the fifth prince is small, there is no need to wait and we might as well do it together."
Zhao Liangdi felt a chill in her heart.
Sure enough, the day has come. His Highness has married the royal concubine. What place does she have in the backyard?
After all, Liang Di is just a Liang Di, and she won't be able to become a royal concubine even after she dies.
"Why is the Queen in such a hurry? Just say that I don't have the one I like and I don't want to give in. Let the Queen wait a little longer."
Zhao Liangdi's eyes were filled with joy: "Yes, I'll tell you now."
It's not good, because she is still the boss in this house, so I really feel sorry for myself.
Zhao Liangdi was surprised and happy.
Xie Chenyu continued to think about it, hey, is this Lin really a woman from a good family?
It’s all about your own backyard.
Zhao Liangdi is coquettish and domineering, relying on pampering to make her coquettish.
Cui Liangren is a two-faced man, a virtuous person on the outside but a snake on the inside.
Liu Liangren is a piece of wood.
The remaining Qian family, Hu family, Wu family, and Sun family only know one surname, but their faces don't match their names.
I only vaguely remember that they were a group of superficially beautiful women who liked money and rouge and gouache.
Putting Ms. Lin among them, she is really different.
In mid-March, the Queen's 7749-day fasting period ended.
At this time, the little prince was half a year old, and his body was still weak. At least he could cry and eat, so his life was saved.
People in the palace whispered that the empress was magnanimous and praying for her in person was effective.
The rumor reached the ears of concubine Qing of Huayang Palace.
There was a cold light in her red and swollen eyes, and she ignored it with a cold smile.
Today's Qing concubines are no longer the same as before.
His body was extremely thin, his clothes hung dangling on his body, he walked unsteadily, his steps were sloppy, his skin was dark yellow, and even his smooth skin in the past became dull.
Especially at the moment, he was completely black and blue, and looked indescribably haggard, as if he had completely changed from the inside out.
"Your Majesty, please go and have a rest. There are slaves and nuns here to take care of you. The little prince will be fine."
Chestnut persuades.
Qingbin looked at her son who had just learned to roll over and was smiling and playing with the nanny. She felt relieved and wanted to rest.
Unexpectedly, my son fell down on the bed due to exhaustion and started crying.
The nanny was so frightened that she quickly went to help her, but Qingbin pushed her away.
"Why are you keeping watch over me? Can't you see if my son falls? What if he recovers easily? What if he gets scared?"
The wet nurse knelt down and confessed repeatedly.
Concubine Qing also cried while holding her child: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my mother who didn't protect you well."
Li Zi wanted to speak but stopped.
He took the wet nurse out of the door.
"Don't be afraid. Your Majesty has been like this for the past six months. It looks like she won't get better. Go and see if the medicine is ready."
"yes"
The nanny went to the kitchen tremblingly.
Li Zi sighed and continued to guard.
I looked up at the sky and saw that it was March again in the blink of an eye. I don’t know when the days will end.
I also thought about leaving, but where can I go if I leave here?
After all, the empress has a prince by her side, and the imperial doctor also said that she is just weak, which does not mean that she will not be able to support him.
If she goes elsewhere at this time, there will be no master willing to take her.
I can only endure it like this, hey.

Jiaofang Palace
The queen arranged the internal affairs of the harem, opened the palace door herself, dressed up and took people to visit the imperial garden.
Looking at the garden where the grass grows and the orioles fly, the flowers are red and the willows are red, the old queen feels happy.
"They say the new year brings new atmosphere, and it is indeed more different than the old year."
