Xiao Ying leaned on the couch and didn't move much since Emperor Kaiyuan came in. If it were someone else, the emperor was afraid that he would be angry, and even if he didn't punish him, he would leave with a slap in the face, leaving people out in the cold.

      As for being left out... Except for the few days of the big wedding, he has never been enthusiastic about the Queen.

    "Look at your complexion, it's better than a few days ago, what did the imperial doctor say? Are the people around you still doing your best to serve you?" More and more pale and weak face.

    In the past, Xiao Hui was dignified and forbearing, and her makeup was thicker, which was convenient for concealing her emotions. Such Xiao Hui, the queen has the stability and dignity, but lacks the fresh aura that a young woman of her age should have.

    Emperor Kaiyuan was in his forties and liked lively and agile women very much. Naturally, he didn't like Xiao Hui's old-fashioned attitude. Every time they meet, they look like they are doing business, and they have never been close to gossip.

      , on the contrary, it makes people feel a kind of pity that wants to hold her carefully, and also inexplicably has a contradictory feeling of wanting to approach and touch, but not daring to blaspheme.

      nonsense. The indifferent attitude made Kaiyuan Emperor feel very depressed.

    In fact, Emperor Kaiyuan came here today not just to visit Xiao Ying, but mainly to intercede for Concubine Ning.

    A few days after the queen woke up, she dragged the maid who had been serving for many years to Qiu and escorted it to Concubine Ning's Zhaoxi Palace, where she was stabbed to death in front of Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning even had nightmares for a few days, she lost two laps of weight, and she couldn't sleep at night without turning on the lamp.

    Emperor Kaiyuan knew that the queen was angry, but Concubine Ning served him for more than 20 years. She was the second son of the emperor and the biological mother of King Heng. In the early years, after the death of Li Shi of the Yuan Dynasty, she helped him raise the prince , there is no credit or hard work...

    However, Xiao Ying seemed to know what he was going to say and never took his words. In the end, Emperor Kaiyuan had to say it clearly.

    "I will not condone what Concubine Ning has done, and I will give you an explanation. It's just... Zitong, Concubine Ning has been serving me for many years, I see it in the face of King Heng, You can't ignore this past love."

    Xiao Ying didn't say anything, only said that everything was arranged by the emperor.

      The king is afraid that there will be resentment and affect the frontier war.

      Now I am glad that the queen has such a personality, and it is someone else who has the Dingguo General's House to rely on, and I am afraid that it will turn the world upside down.

    Kaiyuan Emperor sat down and chatted with Xiao Ying again, seeing her polite and indifferent, he had no intention of letting him rest at all, he was also angry for a while, and his cold face let people drive away In the palace of Jiang Concubines.

    Xiao Ying didn't even give it away because of his poor health.

    After the emperor left, Xiao Ying had the fat dumpling Zhao Zhen brought over.

    "The mother, tell the story to the son, just the story of the monkey becoming a fairy yesterday..."

     

    In fact, these stories are not very interesting, but they are novel to Zhao Zhen. In his heart, as long as it is a story told by his mother, it is good.

    After telling the story for almost half an hour, there was a slight snoring of the child in his arms. Xiao Ying saw that he was fast asleep and did not want to wake him, so he carefully hugged him and lay down.

    Huaifeng saw the sixth prince resting on the master's arm, afraid that the master's arm would be numb after a long time, so he wanted to take the sixth prince away, but Xiao Ying waved his hand and refused.

     "Brother Zhen finally fell asleep, don't disturb him."

     

      . The foundation of the Ning family's operation in Beijing for many years was actually removed by nearly half overnight.

     King Heng is far away from the frontier, and it seems that he has not been affected, but the actions of Emperor Kaiyuan make many people think that the faction of King Heng and Ning Concubines is already disliked by the emperor, compared with the deep-rooted prince Yi Yi It is unknown whether there is a chance for a comeback.

    In addition, Kaiyuan Emperor also awarded the Xiao family several times, promoted the younger generation of the Xiao family, and Zhao Zhen also sent a lot of good things in the past, and also taught the prince. A great Confucian gave Zhao Zhen to be the emperor's teacher.

    Such a treatment is neither light nor heavy. Changed to the previous Xiao Hui, maybe it was really for Zhao Zhen, so he endured it like that.

     

     After Zhao Zhen finished his homework every day, he would swallow and breathe according to Xiao Ying's teaching method. This child has high spirituality. Xiao Ying originally planned to teach him to write micro martial arts. Well, unexpectedly, although he is young, he is very talented.

      You can rely on the method of swallowing, breathing, breathing, and breathing, to prolong life and achieve small martial arts.

     

     

    In his spare time, Zhao Zhen stayed in Kunning Palace every day, and was slightly estranged from other brothers and sisters.

    Emperor Kaiyuan didn't care about the women in the harem arguing, but he was very taboo to have quarrels between brothers and sisters, so the princes and princesses in the palace, no matter how close they were in their hearts, they had to show their brothers and friends on the face. Brother Gong, the intimacy of sisterhood is coming.

    Zhao Zhen and the other princes and daughters walked around a little, and Kaiyuan Emperor noticed it, and went to Kunning Palace in person to mention this to Xiao Ying.

     "Brother Zhen will be five years old after he is over. Kunning Palace is fine, but he should also be moved to the Prince's Court, which is closer to the study. When I was four years old, I left my mother-in-law and went to live in the Prince's Court..."

    The fifth prince in Kaiyuan Emperor's mouth is the fifth prince Zhao Qi, and the fourth prince Zhao Qi is a compatriot, both born of Cui Xianfei.

    Concubine Cui Xian was born in the Cui family of Boling, and her uncle was a scholar of the dynasty. The Cui family of Boling had many talented sons and daughters. It is her beautiful appearance and demeanor.

    It is said that Concubine Cui Xian has two similarities with Empress Li of Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Kaiyuan loved her very much a few years ago, otherwise she would not have given birth to two princes and two princesses in a row.

    There are very few concubines and concubines in this harem, and Concubine Cui Xian is undoubtedly the most descendant.

      in her palace.

    Xiao Ying didn't immediately agree to Emperor Kaiyuan's proposal, he only asked her to think about it for a few days, and also said that Zhao Zhen was born with insufficiency and did not stay in her mother's womb for a full term, and her body was worse than the prince and daughter next to her. Leave him in the Kunning Palace for a while longer, and then send him to the Prince's Court.

    When Xiao Hui was pregnant with Zhao Zhen, he was a favored little noble who bumped into premature birth. Now that arrogant nobleman fell out of favor and died two years ago. Kaiyuan Emperor has long forgotten that What does the little noble person look like and what is his name?

      Thinking of this, Kaiyuan Emperor was a little embarrassed for a while, and it was difficult to mention the matter of sending Zhao Zhen to the Prince's Court to live.

    Autumn and winter come, and in a blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching.

    Xiao Ying, dressed in a snow-colored fox fur, stood on the steps under the door, watching Huaifeng and Zhao Zhen in the courtyard, one big and one small.

     

    The two fought for about a hundred rounds, and Zhao Zhen was a little tired. He was still young, and he was no match for an adult like Huaifeng.

    Ta Chun was busy bringing hot tea and hot cakes over to warm up the two of them. At the end, Chao Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Madame, our Sixth Highness has made a lot of progress. I think it will take a while, and I'm afraid Huaifeng will lose to the Sixth Highness."

    Huaifeng and Tachun are the dowries brought by Xiao Ying from Xiao's residence. On the surface, they are no different from other personal maids, but in fact, both of them have some martial arts background.

     

      Still need to grind.

    Bai Xia was sent by Xiao Ying to take care of the warehouse, and is not currently serving her.

    Xiao Ying valued Huaifeng and Tachun, and would not treat them badly. While teaching Zhao Zhen, he also gave them a lot of advice.

    In the cold weather, Zhao Zhen was sweating profusely. He wanted to take off his outer robe, but he was so frightened that Tachun hurried forward to stop him. When he sweated, he took off his clothes. Easy to catch cold from wind.

    Xiao Ying didn't dislike the sweaty fat dumpling, and leaned over to pick him up and teased him for a while.

    I don't know how this fat dumpling looks like, I keep practicing martial arts every day, and I can still grow this little fat.

    Xiao Ying walked in the courtyard with Zhao Zhen in her arms for a while, and then heard a report from the palace servants outside: "Miss, the emperor is coming to Kunning Palace..."

    Xiao Ying smiled, and after the palace servants stepped back, he said to Huaifeng and Tachun who were on the side: "He can bear it. He only came to find me now, and it would be too early to change others. I can't help it anymore, I'm going to come and ask for the guilt."

    Huaifeng and Tachun didn't dare to answer these words, with a little worry in their eyes.

    A few days ago, they got news that Xiao Ding, the elder brother of the empress, the general of Dingguo, beheaded King Heng in a rage at the frontier. Mother Ning Concubine, disregarding the order of restraint, ran to the foreign minister of Mingde Hall like a madman and could not afford to kneel, crying bitterly and begging the emperor to call the shots for the tragic death of his son.

    Ning Concubine cried a few times and fainted, and her life was almost gone.

    The Kunning Palace has been uneasy for the past few days, afraid that Kaiyuan Emperor will come to ask the guilt, but unexpectedly, there has been no movement from Kaiyuan Emperor.

    The court had never heard of how to deal with Dingguo General, until today, Kaiyuan Emperor came to Kunning Palace in a single court.

    Emperor Kaiyuan has not seen Xiao Ying for a long time. The emperor of the case has to stay in the Queen's Palace on the fifteenth of every month, but Xiao Ying keeps the palace door closed and has no intention of welcoming him, and he is too lazy to perfunctory , just forget about it.

    This forgetting is a few months.

    After a few months, the husband and wife saw each other again. Xiao Ying was in good health and his complexion was better than before. When he looked at it suddenly, he even felt a sense of lofty and dignified unlike ordinary people. Emperor Kaiyuan looked at Xiao Ying standing with his hands behind his back in the snow, and was a little dazed for a while.

    Then... is she really his queen?

    Kaiyuan Emperor never felt that the distance between him and the queen was so far away, as if he could not touch each other no matter what.

    For some reason, Kaiyuan Emperor walked only one step away from Xiao Ying before stopping.

    "Zi Tong." He called softly.

     A gust of cold wind blew past, rolling up some silver dust and frost on the ground. La Xue Dong Mei Tian, ​​this inadvertent gust of wind, also brought a few wisps of faint plum fragrance.

     

    Kaiyuan Emperor saw that she was so calm, that people couldn't see through her incomprehensible appearance, and couldn't help frowning: "Have you heard about the Dingguo General?"

    Xiao Ying nodded: "I heard something."

    Emperor Kaiyuan was working hard to deal with a group of old and young courtiers in the court, and he was already holding back the fire, but now seeing Xiao Ying like this, he became an unnamed fire: "No matter what the reason is, King Heng After all, it is my son, the prince of the Dasheng Dynasty, Xiao Ding committed the following crime, killing the prince, his crime should be punished by the nine clans!"

    "Does the Queen have nothing to say to me?"
