Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

After all, the queen mother was old, and after shouting so heartbreakingly for a while, she felt a little tired, sitting on the chair and panting heavily, but she was not willing to show weakness at all.

Xia Huanyu stared at the queen mother for a long time, and then raised his voice, "Since this is the queen mother's choice, then the son will fulfill you!" Then he lifted up his robe and fell to his knees suddenly, seeing Xia Huanyu kneeling, Everyone was startled, and quickly knelt down. After Xia Huanyu kowtowed three times, he stood up and walked towards the entrance of the hall without saying a word. Yun Chang vaguely saw that his eyes were piercing red, and it seemed that there were some faint tears.

"The emperor is gone, why do you still keep it? Get out!" The queen mother reached out and grabbed the teacup on the plate held by the palace servants, and threw it towards the crowd. A crisp sound rang out in the hall, and everyone hurriedly He also stood up and exited Qianling Palace.

After walking out of Qianling Palace, Luo said softly, "You wait for me at the gate of the palace first, I'll be here in a while."

Knowing that Luo Qingyan definitely wanted to see Xia Huanyu, Yunshang nodded, separated from Xia Huanyu, and walked towards the palace gate.

After leaving the palace gate, Yun Chang got into the carriage and waited quietly in the carriage.

"Ayun." A soft call came from outside.

Yun Chang was stunned for a moment, there was no second person in the world who would call her that, thinking, she opened the curtain and looked outside, it was indeed Liu Yinfeng.

Liu Yinfeng smiled at her before softly saying, "I heard that in a few days Prince Rui will go with Hua Guogong to quell the rebellion of the Ya people?"

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then nodded, Xia Huanyu should have made this matter public in the court, it was not a secret.

"Prince Rui has left, and you will be alone in this unfamiliar Jincheng. There are dangers everywhere in Jincheng. Ah Yun has to be more careful. If there is anything, you can send someone to find me at any time." He said. Then he took out a green jade pendant from his sleeve, "Bring it here, and it will be unimpeded."

Yun Shang was stunned for a while, and then took it over after a moment of silence. Although Luo Qingyan didn't like her getting too close to Liu Yinfeng, it was just that, as Liu Yinfeng said, there were many dangers in this Jincheng, and now Prince Rui's mansion The foundations are shaky, and there are plenty of people who want to deal with them. It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

"I remember, so thank you Mr. Liu." Yun Chang frowned and smiled. This is the gate of the palace, with countless pairs of eyes staring at it, it is really inconvenient to say anything more to Liu Yinfeng, Yun Chang thought about it, smiled apologetically, and put down the curtain of the car.

Liu Yinfeng looked at the slowly falling car curtain, but the smile in his eyes never disappeared, his eyes fell on the peach blossoms in full bloom beside the palace road, thinking that the hairpin on Yunshang's head just now seemed to be a plum blossom hairpin ? Originally, I thought that peach blossoms were the most beautiful in the world, but after getting to know her, I felt that the peach blossoms in full bloom were not as good as a plum blossom hairpin in her temples.

"Sir." There was a soft call from the Seventh Prince behind him, Liu Yinfeng put away the smile in his eyes, turned around, looked at the pale man, was silent for a moment, and said, "Going home?"

The Seventh Prince nodded, "My servant said that my grandfather is in the mansion right now, and I heard him talking about Mr. yesterday, why don't you go back to the mansion with the students to have a look?"

Liu Yinfeng raised his eyes, glanced at his gentle face, pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Let's go." He reached into his sleeve and touched a sharp corner, and was startled suddenly, just now he called In addition to the jade pendant she wanted to give her, she also had this note in her sleeve, but her car curtain was put down so fast, and now...

Liu Yinfeng looked at the man beside him, paused slightly, and finally followed him to another carriage.

Luo Qingyan didn't make Yun Shang wait too long, and walked out in less than half an hour, opened the carriage door and got in, "Let's go back to Prince Rui's Mansion." Luo Qingyan rubbed his forehead and said.

Yun Chang looked up at him before whispering, "What's wrong?"

Luo Qingyan turned his head to look at Yunshang, and after a moment of silence, he said softly, "The Queen Mother is dead."

"Huh?" Yunshang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered Xia Huanyu kneeling and worshiping three times when he left Qianling Palace, and also remembered that the Queen Mother said at the end that it was a pity that she couldn't see Xia Huanyu's death, and that she would let Xia Huanyu let go. Tai'an. It turned out that at that time the queen mother chose to exchange her own death for the life of Princess Tai'an.

"His Majesty gave her a dagger, white silk and poison, and she chose the dagger." Luo said lightly.

Yun Chang was stunned again. According to common sense, if these three things were given, most people would choose poison because it would not cause pain, but the Queen Mother chose a dagger.

"It's a tough one." Yun Chang sighed softly.

After returning to Prince Rui's Mansion, Yun Shang ordered the housekeeper to prepare a filial piety. Although the queen mother was bestowed to death by Xia Huanyu, in order to preserve the face of the royal family, Xia Huanyu would only say that she died of illness or other causes of death. draped.

Sure enough, in less than half a day, the death knell rang in the imperial city, and the decree spread to all the government offices. It only said that the Queen Mother died of a sudden illness after returning to the palace after being exhausted from traveling all the way.

Yun Shang ordered people to change into plain clothes and white clothes, put on filial piety clothes, and hung white silk flowers in the mansion. Xia Huanyu ordered all the princes and princesses to enter the palace to observe filial piety, but did not say that the family members needed to enter the palace, and Yun Shang fell down. She was also happy to be at leisure, she didn't really want to enter Xia Guo's palace.

After the first seven days, it was time for Luo Qingyan to send troops to the Ya clan. The white silk flowers had been removed from the mansion, and Yun Chang changed into an elegant blue dress, and sent Luo Qingyan out of the door.

As soon as Luo Qingyan left, the mansion became a bit more lively. The Duke's wife and the aunts and cousins ​​in the Duke's mansion also came to visit frequently. Several of Xia Huanyu's daughters also came to play occasionally, especially Princess Qianling. Come along with them waddling.

Yun Shang got acquainted with those princesses, and always prepared some snacks in the mansion, just in case the group of gluttonous monkeys would sneak over again.

It is true that they have not been to the palace a few times, and occasionally went to pay respects to the empress, but the empress never mentioned the matter of forming an alliance with Prince Rui. Occasionally, Yunshang also went to Xiangzhu Hall to sit with Ning Qian, but it was Concubine Yun Gui who summoned her the most. Maybe because she saved Princess Qianling's life last time, Concubine Yun Gui became kinder to her.

"The poison of Qianling last time, I always thought it was the empress's hands and feet. In the past few days, I have found out some clues. It is actually Concubine Shen Shu." Concubine Yun sighed lightly, with a bit of coldness in her eyes. .

"Concubine Shen Shu?" Yun Shang fell silent, but she had heard this name many times. The last time the witch doll was found in the palace, it was Concubine Shen Shu. It's just that Concubine Shen Shu's health is not good, because she seldom leaves Shuya Palace.

Concubine Yun Gui nodded, "You saved Qian Ling's life, and I don't want to hide it from you. Concubine Shen Shu was originally a court lady next to the Empress, but somehow she hooked up with His Majesty, and His Majesty made her a beauty, and she is still there Well, the queen has always ruled very strictly, how could she allow such a thing to happen in her palace, and the queen's father is a captain with great power, so your majesty naturally has to take care of the queen's face. At first, everyone thought that this matter was over, But I don't want Concubine Shen Shu's belly to be very upbeat, giving birth to eleven princes and twelve princesses."

"There are very few dragon and phoenix twins in the royal family. Concubine Shen Shu's birth was considered a good omen. His Majesty was overjoyed, so he made an exception and promoted her to sit on the concubine's throne. Because of those two children, His Majesty occasionally went to sit in her palace." Sit down, Concubine Shen Shu also has tricks. She actually coaxed His Majesty to be very happy. This position also climbed all the way to the concubine position, and she became pregnant again. How can the empress tolerate a court lady so presumptuous, so she put the concubine Shen Shu in her belly? The child of the concubine Shen Shu was removed, and Concubine Shen Shu drank the Juezi soup. This incident happened because of this palace. At that time, Concubine Shen Shu rushed to the palace because of her pregnancy. She was young and energetic at that time, so she punished her. Let her kneel for a while, and because of that kneeling, the fetus became a little unstable and turned red, Concubine Shen Shu was in a panic when she wanted to keep the baby, so she followed the Queen's advice." Concubine Yun Gui sighed softly and shook her head .

"Concubine Shen Shu hasn't been in good health since then, and the emperor hasn't been to Shuya Palace very much. I'm afraid that because of this, she will hate this palace and the empress from now on. The reason why I will take you along that day is probably because Prince Rui suddenly appeared The reason is, originally the prince was supported by the empress, but the prince himself was not a person with outstanding abilities. He had enough brute force, but he couldn't turn his head around. But Prince Rui was different. Everyone had heard of Prince Rui. Those who are charming, those who have princes, most of them want their sons to sit in that position, so they regard Prince Rui as the number one enemy."

Concubine Yun looked at Yunshang, with a carefree smile, "Fortunately, there is only one child in this palace, Qian Ling, so there is nothing to worry about. I just hope that Qian Ling can grow up well and marry a good family."

"Yes." Yun Chang said softly.

Concubine Yun Gui smiled again, then turned her head seriously and said to Yun Shang, "All concubines with sons in this palace will be your enemies, you have to remember. And, be careful, if you If you are pregnant, you must carefully protect the child in your womb. Among the princes, many wives and concubines are pregnant, but none of them are actually born."

Yun Chang froze for a moment, but never thought that there would be such a problem, but she could understand the struggle between the princes, after all, throughout the ages, for the sake of the supreme throne, there are not a few brothers who kill each other. But why even the prince's heirs have to be affected.

Concubine Yun Gui seemed to understand Yun Chang's confusion, she smiled and said, "Prince Xia Guoli, in addition to setting up a long and heir, the prince's heirs are also one of the most important criteria for consideration, because there is an old saying in the royal family that opening branches Scattering leaves is the only way to keep the country from falling. The more prosperous the offspring are, the more prosperous the Xia Kingdom will be."

Concubine Yun Gui spoke lightly, but Yun Chang clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves. \u003c
