I won't be a courtier anymore

Chapter 39 Chapter 39

Zhujiu was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, Li Bai didn't expect Xie Feng to be so angry, he rubbed his itchy nose and said: "I insisted, don't blame Zhujiu, I'll drink some Ginger soup will be fine."

When Li Bai was so blunt and tough, Xie Feng didn't have the nerve to refute his intentions, so he had to say to Zhujiu: "Don't you hurry up and ask the kitchen to prepare some ginger soup? Prepare a hand stove."

"Yes." Zhujiu got up quickly and left.

Xie Feng took Li Bai's hand and found that it was very cold, so he couldn't help but put it in his sleeve, wanting to warm Li Bai.

Li Bai squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It's very warm."

"Don't be like this in the future, I won't give you face next time." Xie Feng and Li Bai argued.

Li Bai smiled coquettishly: "It won't happen next time, I promise."

"I'm still a little hungry, let's eat together." Xie Feng said.

While looking for people to cook, Li Bai found a small hand stove for himself, and talked with Xie Fengwo.

While the two were talking, the servants brought up the dishes. In fact, Xie Feng and Li Bai had eaten a little bit, but they were not hungry at this time, and the dishes were simple.

Li Bai got out of Xie Feng's arms, and grabbed Xie Feng with one hand to pull him up: "Get up and eat, hurry up."

Xie Feng responded.

At this time, the situation has reached a critical moment, but Xie Feng is still acting like usual. He has never experienced anything in his previous life. Xie Feng looked at Li Bai who was walking back and forth in front of him, and put his heart in his chest, no matter how he changed, Even if it can't be as he expected, as long as Li Bai is around, he will be satisfied.

At night, when Li Bai fell asleep, Xie Feng put on his coat and went to the study. At this time, Shiliu was already waiting in the study.

Seeing Xie Feng coming in and bowing in salute on Shiliu, Xie Feng waved his hand and turned on the lamp on the desk. The autumn rain was still raging outside, and the fallen leaves blown by the autumn wind rushed towards the window.

"Master, when he came down, the Eldest Prince had already been brought into the Qianyuan Hall by His Majesty's confidants." Sixteen said.

"Where's the second prince?" Xie Feng asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty only summoned the first prince to enter the inner hall alone, while the second prince waited outside the hall. The other subordinates stood too far away to see clearly." Sixteen said.

At this juncture, only the eldest prince is summoned. Naturally, it is not for the sake of brothers and sisters. It seems that this majesty prefers the eldest son. Relatives.

Xie Feng nodded and said: "Send someone to watch the second prince's mansion, if there is anything waiting to blow the grass, report back quickly."

"Yes!" Sixteen turned around and left.

Xie Feng leaned on the chair alone, closed his eyes and pondered carefully, once the second prince could not succeed to the throne, the Marquis of Huaiyin, which was in the same camp as the second prince, would lose power. Students must hug their thighs tightly, which is tantamount to giving the eldest prince another boost.

As for the princess's marriage, at this moment, it seems that the old emperor really loves his daughter, and passing the throne to the eldest prince is a decision made by the emperor, and marrying his daughter to Xu Jiwu is really planning for his daughter.

The Marquis of Huaiyin lost power, and the princess was their only straw, even if the one who became the emperor was not her own brother, but as long as Daqi was alive, she would be the princess of the Tian family, and the Marquis of Huaiyin did not want to disappear from this court. If you are in decline, you must treat the princess well.Besides, the fact that there is Li Bai in his own house, I am afraid that it is the old emperor.

in the palace.

The old emperor was short of breath, and he struggled to catch his breath. Zhao Nan knelt in front of him, deeply terrified, and dared not say a word.

"Go and invite the princess here." The old emperor ordered.

The imperial guard next to him immediately turned around and went to do it.

The old emperor looked at the eldest prince who was kneeling in front of him, his voice was old and hoarse: "You kneel here, do you know why I only ask you to kneel here?"

"I don't know." The First Prince said.

In fact, the eldest prince also guessed it, but it is obviously better to say that he does not know at this time than to know.

"Your mother and my childhood sweetheart, it's a pity that she is not in good health, so she left after giving birth to your younger sister. It was also an autumn night like this, and it rained heavily. I stood outside the gate of the central palace, listening to her gradually fade away. Let me know, that is the flesh that was gouged out from my heart." The old emperor looked at the top of the bed with empty eyes, as if recalling the scene of that year.

Zhao Nan was shocked in the local area. As we all know, the queen has only one son, so where is the daughter?

"Father, when did the mother give birth to a younger sister?" Zhao Nan asked in shock.

"It's your fourth sister. At that time, Qin'er was like a kitten. The imperial concubine also gave birth to a child that day. It's a pity that the emperor died when she landed. I feel sorry for Qin'er who lost her mother when she was still in her infancy, so I quietly replaced her. Under the name of the noble concubine." The old emperor coughed a few times, and he said, "Now that Qin'er has grown up, it's time to rectify her name, after all, she is the first princess of Daqi, so she can't always be remembered as a concubine."

Zhao Nan knelt on the ground for a long time and couldn't regain his senses. He took a deep breath to calm himself down: "Father, how can you prove that Qin'er was born by the queen mother?"

"I used to call the imperial doctor, and the midwife wrote down the testimony, and you show them to the clan." The old emperor said, "There is one more thing, my son, the father is dying, and it is only a few days. Mountains and rivers, thousands of miles of splendor, every inch of land is stained with the blood of our ancestors, Royal Father guarded it all his life, and now Royal Father wants to hand it over to you."

"Father..." Zhao Nan said.

"It's up to you in the future." The old emperor said, "That's all I can do for you brothers and sisters."

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived." The eunuch said.

"Father!" Zhao Qin ran in crying, the old emperor looked at Zhao Qin and smiled, Zhao Nan felt that his father had never really smiled, except for Zhao Qin.

"Qin'er." The old emperor said with a smile, "Slow down, fall carefully."

Zhao Nan suddenly felt that perhaps for the old emperor, the most important thing was not the country, but his daughter.

The next morning, Xie Feng didn't hear any wind, and went up as usual. Although the weather was calm for a while, Xie Feng felt the undercurrent under the calm surface, dormant, curled up, just waiting for the sky to scream.

The imperial concubine made a lot of moves last night, and some rumors were faintly heard inside and outside the court hall. In the early court, the ministers pretended to be one by one, as if nothing happened last night.

When the eldest prince presided over the morning court and it was about to end, the old prince who had not been in court for a long time suddenly entered the palace. This old prince was an old clan member and had a very high status in the royal family. When you see him, you have to call him an old prince.

The eldest prince invited the old prince into the palace and ordered someone to show him a seat.

When the officials saw the old prince coming to court, they secretly thought that he was going to establish a crown prince, but they didn't expect the eldest prince to say something else.

"The old uncle was invited into the palace today because of an old time. The queen mother was difficult to deal with in the past. She once gave birth to a princess. It happened that the imperial concubine gave birth on the same day and gave birth to a dead baby. The father and the emperor contacted the emperor. Raising the imperial sister under the name of the noble concubine, now that the imperial sister has reached the age of marriage, she should also recognize her own mother." The eldest prince said and asked his subordinates to bring the evidence and present it in front of the adults.

"This is the testimony of the imperial physician and the midwife. Please read the old emperor's uncle and all your lords." After speaking, the eldest prince ordered someone to present the evidence in front of the old emperor's uncle.

The old emperor uncle didn't stand up, he read the testimony from the tray, nodded and said: "This is indeed the case, the old minister will invite the jade plate to justify the name of the first princess."

The emperor has many princesses, but the first princess is the only one.

"My hall thanked the uncle on behalf of my sister." The eldest prince smiled and bowed.

"Your Highness has said it." The old emperor stood up, returned the salute, and led a mighty group of people straight to the ancestral temple.

This matter should be done in a big way, praying to heaven and earth, and offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, but now at this juncture, the old emperor also understands that he must follow the trend, and now he can change it by himself.

The Marquis of Huaiyin stood in the main hall, he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, the princess is more honorable now, but this is obviously the home where he married the noble concubine, but this princess has changed mother, so who is he married to now?

For three days in a row, news came out from the palace that His Majesty was critically ill, and he was not going to court in the morning, so all the adults were waiting at home for the national funeral.

In Qianyuan Hall.

Zhao Qin had already moved out of the imperial concubine's bedroom in just two days, and now lives alone in Fengyi Hall, which is adjacent to Qianyuan Hall, so it is convenient for the princess to take care of the emperor every day.

"Father." Zhao Qin took the medicine and whispered to the dying person on the bed. Even if he stood on top of ten thousand people all his life, he was just an old man who was about to die at this moment.

"Qin'er, come here, my father has something to give you." The emperor panted, Zhao Qin hurriedly approached and knelt beside his father.

The emperor reached out and patted the back of Zhao Qin's hand, and took out a piece of silk with a black dragon pattern embroidered on the back from under the pillow. He reached out and handed it to Zhao Qin, and said softly: "This is my last edict, you keep it well, When I die, you can give it to the old emperor, remember, you must not tell others, or you will be killed."

"Father?" Zhao Qin looked at the old emperor in disbelief. Zhao Qin has experienced too many things in the past few days. At this time, she is no longer the girl who only knew about the love of children a few days ago.

"You will leave the palace tonight, and there may be changes at dawn." The old emperor ordered.

"What about you? My son doesn't want to leave." Zhao Qin lowered her head and wept silently, she had already faintly felt parting.

"You are the princess of Daqi, the daughter I love the most, Qin'er, it's time to do what a princess should do." The old emperor rubbed Zhao Qin's hair with difficulty, his dry and weak hands were finally reluctant to accept return.

"When your mother was young, she also had such beautiful hair." The old emperor said with a sigh, "It's a pity that I will never see it again."
