Rebirth of the third flower queen

Chapter 039 Princess

In the eighth year of Wanchang, Long Jun, the heir of the Duke of Wei, married Chu Ruohua, the eldest daughter of Chu Zirong, the Marquis of Yongan. The marriage of the Long and Chu families caused a great sensation in Shangjing at that time.Not to mention that the two families are hereditary nobles, the marriage was bestowed by the emperor himself, and Miss Chu's first dowry was also given by the queen. Such an honor, the new emperor is the first one after he ascends the throne, which is not unnoticed.

At the same time that Duke Wei's mansion was busy with the wedding, in Ganquan Palace, Xiao Yurong, the 13-year-old princess of Leping, was pulling Xiao Xieyi's sleeves, crying so pitifully, "Brother, are they now I'm not worshiping, why don't you help me, woo woo..."

Xiao Xiyi looked at her crying sister, although she felt distressed, she could only comfort her in a soft voice: "Rong'er, Brother Huang can give you anything else you want, but the marriage between Long Jun and Miss Chu is a matter of fact. The emperor personally bestowed it, you are not joking, do you understand?"

"I don't want anyone else, I want Long Jun to be my son-in-law." Xiao Yurong sobbed unwillingly, trying to impress Xiao Xieyi.

The previous prince had a weak relationship with his children, he gave birth to six princes and only raised two. The situation of the princess was similar to that of the princes. She gave birth to three and died of two. The only one who grew up was Princess Leping.Xiao Yurong's biological mother Luo Taifei is Xiao Xiyi's adoptive mother. The two grew up together since childhood and have a very good relationship.After Xiao Xieyi came to the throne, Xiao Yurong asked him for whatever he wanted, and he never refuted it. He always gave whatever he wanted.

Only this time, the little princess who had just begun to fall in love told the emperor shyly that she had a favorite candidate for a son-in-law and asked Xiao Xieyi to propose a marriage for her in the future, but she was not satisfied.Xiao Xieyi's first reaction was to kill someone, and then she was curious. Which kid is so lucky to be taken by his precious sister.There is no rule in the Great Zhou Dynasty that concubines cannot discuss politics, and the Lord, especially the princess who is favored by the emperor, is beneficial to the official career and has no harm.

Xiao Yurong smiled embarrassedly, and said Long Jun's name, Xiao Xieyi suddenly felt dizzy.

Why Long Jun, why did he tell him at this time, just last month, when Xiao Yurong and Concubine Luo were playing in the south of the Yangtze River, he just gave Long Jun and the girl from the Chu family a marriage. Just this September.

"Brother Huang, is there a problem?" Xiao Yurong asked uneasily after Xiao Xieyi remained silent for a long time.Xiao Xieyi hesitated a little, but told her the truth. Xiao Yurong was unlucky. The son-in-law she was looking for had already got a marriage contract with someone else, and asked him to marry him.

Xiao Yurong bit her lower lip, and said for a long while: "It's just that engagement is nothing, even if you are married, you can still divorce your wife." This is true, for the royal princess, the consort is chosen arbitrarily, far away Not to mention, during Xuanzong's reign, there was Princess Jinxiang who fell in love with a married son-in-law, so she divorced her original spouse and married her herself. Besides, Long Jun and Chu Ruohua were only engaged, not married, and it didn't matter.

Xiao Xieyi shook her head lightly, "Rong'er, it's too late for you to say that. It is true that Long Jun and the girl from the Chu family are not married yet, but their marriage is a gift from me." Xiao Yurong was dumbfounded, and raised her head in a daze Looking at Xiao Xieyi, it took a long time before she cried silently.

Xiao Yurong is not a willful princess, she knew that the marriage between Long Jun and Chu Ruohua could not be changed, and she never troubled them, at most, on the day of their marriage, she cried in her arms holding Xiao Xinyi, with tears and snot all over him, and she was forced to use it up. Wear a uniform.

Xiao Yurong was young, let alone Xiao Xieyi, even Concubine Luo didn't think it was a big deal. After two years, when she grows up, she might have someone she likes more. Anyway, the princess of the Xiao family came out of the court late, ten years later. It is considered early to marry at the age of seven or eight, and it is not uncommon to remarry after twenty.

Unexpectedly, since then, Xiao Yurong has never liked anyone again. Concubine Luo wanted to choose a son-in-law for her, but she refused for various reasons. Only then did Xiao Xieyi understand that Xiao Yurong's love for Long Jun The feelings of love may not be as simple as children's likes.

Although the marriage was agreed by the parents and the matchmaker's words, neither Long Jun nor Chu Ruohua were picky.

In the second year after marriage, Long Jun and his wife had a son, and in the fourth year they added a daughter.It's a pity that when Chu Ruohua gave birth to her daughter, she had dystocia. Although the imperial physician tried her best to keep the mother and daughter safe, she still suffered from sequelae, and her daughter passed away after less than a hundred days.

Chu Ruohua died unexpectedly, Xiao Yurong came back from the ashes, and went directly to Long Jun to confess.Long Jun didn't refuse, he just said that he would keep mourning for his deceased wife for three years, and he would not talk about marriage for the time being.Concubine Luo was very angry when she heard the words, the princess descended, what an honor that was, they did not dislike him as the widower of his dead wife, they looked up to him, he dared to refuse, it was really daring.Xiao Yurong persuaded Concubine Luo who wanted to deal with Long Jun, she said she was willing to wait for him to fulfill his filial piety.

After the three-year period expired, Long Jun stayed outside the pass and did not return, Xiao Yurong couldn't wait, and went after Yumen Pass to find someone, how could Long Jun come back with her.In fact, Long Jun never thought about wanting Princess Shang. What he said three years ago was just a refusal. He thought Xiao Yurong was just interested in him on a whim. After a long time, he would naturally forget it. His son-in-law descended, and it would not be too late for him to find a suitable stepmother.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yurong was determined, seeing that he refused to return to the capital after the time limit, she even chased him to the border town in person.It would be a lie for Long Jun to say that he was not moved at all, but Xiao Yurong is really not the type of wife he needs.After all, Long Jun is the eldest son of the Duke of Wei's mansion. He has parents to take care of him, and his sons and daughters to be raised by others. Not only that, the wife of the eldest son is also the clan wife of the Long family, and she wants to preside over the middle class of the Duke's mansion.These things can be done by the daughters of the family, but it is impossible for the golden branches and jade leaves.

The princess descended, there is a separate princess mansion, and she will never live with her parents-in-law, so the responsibility of taking care of her is naturally out of the question, and there is a pair of children left by Chu Ruohua, Long Jun really can't imagine asking the princess to help him take care of the children. This kind of thing, so Xiao Yurong's kindness, he can only decline.

Xiao Yurong was brought up pampered by Xiao Xieyi and Luo Taifei. Since she was a child, she wanted the wind to get the wind, and the rain to get the rain. The only regret in her life may be that she couldn't ask for Long Jun.It was too late to meet each other before, but she recognized it, who knows that God is helping her, Chu Ruohua can't grow old with Long Jun, how could Xiao Yurong miss such an opportunity, Long Jun wanted to send her away with just a few words , is absolutely impossible.

The border town is where the garrison of the Northwest Camp is located, so it is very inconvenient for Xiao Yurong to stay for a long time.Long Jun persuaded her to go back to Beijing several times but failed, so with the support of Xiao Xieyi, he took tough measures. He tied Xiao Yurong and put him directly in the carriage back to Beijing.

When Xiao Yurong left the capital, she made an oath that she would not take the son-in-law back, and she would never take half a step into the capital. She was tied up twice, but she managed to escape both times. Long Jun had no choice but to go to battle in person. , ready to "escort" Xiao Yurong back to Beijing.

It was also Xiao Xiyi's luck, when Gu Wei was looking for Xiao Yurong everywhere, Long Jun had already taken her on the way back to Beijing.

Originally, Xiao Yurong wanted to try to escape, but unfortunately Long Jun watched closely, she had no chance at all.Walking to Longquan Station, Long Jun received the news that Jin Yiwei was missing someone, and immediately informed Xiao Yurong, and the two hurried back.Otherwise, it will be too late.

Xiao Yurong returned to the palace, before she could catch her breath, Master Jiechen pricked her fingertip with a needle, which made her baffled.

"Queen, what's the matter with hurrying to get me back?" Xiao Yurong was deeply touched by the strange atmosphere around her, but the letter they received was vague, they only asked her to return to Beijing quickly, but did not mention what was the matter. She and Long Jun were so frightened that they didn't dare to delay, they took their entourage and changed horses all the way without changing people. They ran for more than 1000 miles in two days before rushing back to the palace.

Gu Wei didn't speak, but just stared at Master Chen's movements until he nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and explained to Xiao Yurong that Xiao Xieyi was in trouble, and was waiting for her blood to save her life, and then put the matter to rest. The ins and outs of it were roughly explained.

After listening to Gu Wei's words, Xiao Yurong felt a little fortunate in her heart. Fortunately, Long Jun watched her closely all the way and didn't give her a chance to escape. Otherwise, if she really let her escape, she would definitely not be able to receive Jin Yiwei's letter in time. , or it's too late to receive it, wouldn't it be a major event.

Master Liaochen had a blood test, and Xiao Yurong was fine. If this is the case, the problem of medicine introduction has been completely solved.With Rainstorm and Xiao Yurong, two blood relatives of Xiao Xieyi, the twins only need a little blood, and their lives can be regarded as saved.

The difficult movement of taking blood from the abdomen was done by Chu Muyu. Because the posture of the two children was not right, one of them was always hiding behind. Feng Qi rubbed her abdomen to make her conceive smooth, and only then did the children's positions change.

All the preparations were ready, and when it was almost midnight, Master Liaochen began to detoxify Xiao Xieyi.

Although the previous Master Mingkong was a fake, Master Liaochen still has the same characteristic as him, that is, no outsiders are allowed to be present when casting spells, so the Empress Dowager, Gu Wei, Feng Qi, and Xiao Yurong all just Can wait in the outer hall of Zichen hall.

Amidst the restless waiting and anticipation of the crowd, one night passed without knowing it.At dawn, Master Liaochen finally opened the door and came out, looking extremely tired, everyone looked up at him in unison, but no one dared to speak.

"Amitabha!" After a long time, Master Liaochen put his palms together and recited the Buddha's mantra: "The emperor is fine, and he will wake up tonight at the latest." Before the words fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a little unsteady .

After all, the empress dowager is getting old, so staying up all night must be unbearable. Gu Wei's health has never been good, and she has been busy these days, and she has been trying to hold on. , it was already very dangerous, and she was guarding Xiao Xieyi every day, unable to sleep at night, and Xiao Yurong, who rushed back without sleep for two days and two nights, was also exhausted.Fortunately, the imperial doctors on duty in the imperial hospital were all guarding outside the hall, and they immediately performed their duties, and they did not appear flustered.

On the eve of dinner, Xiao Xieyi woke up just in time as Master Liaochen said.Standing beside his bed were Long Jun and Rainstorm.

Xiao Xieyi was worried at first, if he is fine, does it mean that he and Feng Qi have no more children, in that case, Feng Qi might have to leave too, but when he saw Long Jun and Rainstorm, he smiled reassuringly .The presence of Long Jun means that Xiao Yurong is back, the presence of the rainstorm means that he knows his life experience, and the presence of both means that his twin is saved.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Seeing that Xiao Xieyi had woken up, Long Jun immediately motioned for Huanxi to come forward to serve him.

Xiao Xieyi lay down for seven whole days, even when he woke up, he was still weak. Huanxi fed him half a cup of warm water, and he felt much better. Fang asked softly, "Ah Jun, did you come back with Rong'er?" Xiao Xieyi asked knowingly , because in the previous life, Long Jun couldn't stand Xiao Yurong's stalking and beat her up and married her, but the two of them didn't get along very harmoniously after marriage. .

"Back to the emperor, yes." Long Jun clasped his fists in both hands and replied: "I sent the eldest princess back to the capital. On the way, I received an urgent letter from Jin Yiwei, so I hurried back." Long Jun didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights. Martial arts are outstanding, and there is a bit of tiredness on the face.

"Ah Jun, Rong'er, I will tell her carefully, don't worry." Xiao Xieyi has made up his mind, in this life, he will not interfere in the affairs of Xiao Yurong and Long Jun, otherwise he will marry according to Xiao Yurong's temperament In the past, the two would most likely become a resentful couple like in the previous life.

Long Jun knelt down immediately, and solemnly said: "The eldest princess loves me so much, I can't repay you, please the emperor make amends."

Xiao Xiyi shook her head with a smile, and raised her hand to let him get up, "You have been stationed in the border town all year round, and it is rare for you to go back to Beijing. Since you are back this time, I will grant you half a month's leave, so that you can go home and accompany your children." Long Jun said A pair of sons and daughters, Xiao Xieyi is very fond of, especially the eldest son Longjian, who is also the son-in-law of Princess Yuanyang.

After Long Jun resigned, Xiao Xieyi beckoned, letting Rainstorm who was standing far away come to her side.

"Is Huai Jin okay?" He had already given Feng Qi the rainstorm, but he was here at the moment, obviously it was arranged by the Empress Dowager after his identity was exposed.Rainstorm nodded lightly and said: "Young Hua Guiqing is fine, and so is the little prince." After master Liaochen performed the method, Feng Qi was sent back to Qifeng Palace to rest. After holding on till now, now that Xiao Xieyi is fine, the whole person relaxes, but she can't hold on anymore.

Feng Qi was worried about the heavy rain, so he went to Qifeng Palace at that time. Chu Muyu checked Feng Qi's pulse and prescribed a prescription. He said that there was no problem for the time being, but he couldn't make any more troubles, otherwise his body would be exhausted and it was time to give birth. time, it will be dangerous.

Feng Qi was half asleep and half awake, she didn't know if she heard clearly, but Rainstorm secretly wrote down the words, planning to supervise him in the future.

Knowing that Feng Qi was fine, Xiao Xieyi's expression relaxed obviously, and he smiled and asked Rainstorm, "How does it feel to know that I am your brother?" At first Xiao Xieyi ordered someone to keep Rainstorm, but it was because of the late emperor's last wish.No matter how indifferent the first emperor was to him, he was his father-in-law. Before he died, he took Xiao Xieyi's hand and entrusted him with the country of Dazhou and the rainstorm. The first emperor didn't ask much, he just wanted Pray for the rainstorm to live, nothing else matters.

The person who picked up the rainstorm from the moat was Xuan Ying, the leader of the shadow guards of the late emperor. After the death of the late emperor, he retired and returned to his hometown. Xiao Xieyi asked him to take the rainstorm away.What Xiao wrote was that Xuanying was loyal to the late emperor all his life, and it should be the safest thing for him to take the rainstorm away.

Ten years later, Xuanying passed away. Because the rainstorm was still young, he asked his disciple Kuangfeng to ask Xiao Xieyi what to do about the rainstorm. He grew up in the mountains and had a simple personality. Xieyi thought that he was the younger brother anyway, so she let the wind lead him into the palace, and planned to have a look before talking.

Unexpectedly, after seeing this, he could no longer look away. Rainstorm liked Xiao Xieyi very much when he saw him, and asked Fengfeng if he would stay and protect him in the future.It was only then that Xiao Xieyi knew that Xuan Ying had been a shadow guard since he was a child, and he had trained many shadow guards. He didn't know how normal people raised children, and he was just complaining about his old age and nostalgia. The rainstorm he raised was still a standard shadow guard. Wei, it's just a temper. Compared with those regular ones, he is much more innocent and lively.

Because Rainstorm looks so much like the former emperor, Xiao Xieyi was worried about who to hand him over to, and when Rainstorm said he was willing to stay, she agreed immediately.Shadow guards are not ordinary professions, they never show their faces in front of people, in this case, no matter how much Rainstorm looks like the former emperor, no one will see it.

Of course, Xiao Xieyi has seen Rainstorm's skills before. He was just planning to let him fish in the muddy water. He didn't want this child to be extremely talented. He was also a top expert among the shadow guards at a young age. Xiao Xieyi simply let him He entered the official establishment.

"Emperor Brother is not the person I want to protect, what's the difference?" Rainstorm blinked and asked in puzzlement.Regardless of whether Xiao Xieyi is his brother or not, he will protect him. His question is so strange.

Xiao Xieyi couldn't help laughing, and hugged Rainstorm, "Of course there is a difference, my brother has to protect my brother." Compared to Xiao Xiange, Xiao Xiyi felt that Rainstorm was the younger brother he wanted, but he ignored it. For so many years, I really feel sorry for him.

"Then can I still be a shadow guard?" Rainstorm is completely unaware of his identity as the emperor's younger brother. What he never forgets is whether he can still be a shadow guard. From this, it can be seen that Xuanying's brainwashing of him back then has reached the point of frenzy. the point.

"Yes, as long as you want, you can stay as long as you want." As long as there is no threat to his throne, Xiao Xieyi will never interfere with what Rainstorm likes to do, and besides, with him by Feng Qi's side, Feng Qi and the two children will be happy. Safety can also be guaranteed, why not do it.

Rainstorm rolled his eyes when he heard this, it was an expression that Xiao Xieyi had never seen on the face of the late emperor, he smiled and asked: "Brother Emperor, did my mother give me a name before she was alive?" Rainstorm is not a name , is the code name, the four shadow guards of Xiao Xieyi, who are always stormy and thunderous.

Xiao Xieyi was stunned, and it took him a while to realize that the mother mentioned by the rainstorm was referring to the former emperor, he stammered: "Yes, yes, you, your mother gave you a name." God, this title is so awkward , Xiao Xieyi's tongue almost got knotted.

"What's your name? What's my name?" If it wasn't for being hugged by Xiao Xieyi, Rainstorm would have been jumping up and down with joy.

"Xiao Yao, your name is Xiao Yao." Xiao Xieyi had heard the name said countless times by the former emperor, but he never had the opportunity to call this child once while holding the child.Having said that, if he had the opportunity to call, the current crown prince's name might be Xiao Yao.

"Xiao, Yao, isn't this the surname of my father and mother?" Rainstorm smiled brighter, it turned out that they were so intentional.

"That's right, it's their surname." The late emperor's deep affection for Yao Guijun can be seen from this.

When Rainstorm's identity was exposed, the Empress Dowager was surprised and delighted, which could not be described in words. 14 years ago, when she watched the late emperor lose too much blood and die in front of her eyes, she would naturally vent her anger on the rainstorm. It was joy, she didn't even have time to think about what kind of uproar would be caused if the story of Yu Yu's life was spread.

On this day, the Empress Dowager called Rainstorm to the Palace of Compassion and Peace again, and asked him to take off his mask. Rainstorm was not very happy, so he did.

"Son, come here and sit next to Ai's family." The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly, which was a kind expression that Xiao Xieyi and Xiao Xiange had never seen before.Rainstorm reluctantly walked over, he knew that the Empress Dowager was his mother's mother, logically he should call her grandma, but she killed the nine clans of the Yao family, Rainstorm had never met anyone from the Yao family, nor The idea of ​​revenge for them, but he is still very sad, those are always his relatives.

"The Ai family heard that you are still with Hua Guiqing, did the emperor ask you to do this?" Rainstorm has no ambitions for power, the empress dowager is very at ease, but the empress dowager is very upset that he serves as Feng Qi's shadow guard.Why, what qualifications does Feng Qi have to do this, he shouldn't have shadow guards, it's fine for Xiao Xieyi to be biased, but Rainstorm is the first emperor's biological son, let him follow a royal servant, what does it sound like.

"No, I'm willing." Rainstorm likes Feng Qi, second only to Xiao Xinyi, and he is very happy to be by Feng Qi's side.But seeing that the empress dowager's expression was not very good, he changed the subject, "Can I visit my father and mother's grave?"

Similarly, the Empress Dowager was also choked by the rainstorm's words, not only because of her address, but also for other reasons.

It is not difficult for the heavy rain to go to the grave of the first emperor, just go directly to Zhaoling, but Yao Guijun, it is more troublesome, because after Yao Guijun committed suicide, his body was thrown to the mass grave by the Empress Dowager, now go Look, can't tell the difference at all.
