Chapter 28 Yuanchen

After one stick of incense, the sixth prince Yuanchen came.

The half-year-old ten-year-old boy is slightly thin, with clear eyes and handsome face. When he smiles, the shadow of Queen Pei can be clearly seen between his eyebrows and eyes.

Such a handsome, gentle and cute little boy is delightful.

Emperor Xuanhe loved beauty, and there were many concubines in the harem, and princesses one after another, totaling eight princes and two princesses. Except for the third prince who died young, the other princes and princesses grew up safely.

The one who is most favored by the holy is the eldest prince.

Back then, Princess Pei Wanqing of Yan had nowhere to be born in three years. The eldest son born to Concubine Zheng was the first son of the King of Yan and the only son. The weight occupied in the King of Yan's heart was naturally different.

Later, the King of Yan was named the crown prince. The crown prince's concubine became pregnant and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix sons. The crown prince was very happy and favored the second son Yuan Tai, who was born.

Later, the princes and princesses were born one after another, and they had more children. Those who were fathers became accustomed to it. In the year when the sixth prince was born, Emperor Xuanwu suffered from a serious illness. In two years, Emperor Xuanwu passed away and returned to the west, and the prince ascended the throne to Emperor Xuanhe.

Out of a subtle and indescribable mood, Emperor Xuanhe loved the Sixth Prince quite a bit.

Every time I see the Sixth Prince, Mrs. Yong'an feels frustrated.

When he sent Pei Wanru to the palace as a substitute, no one expected that Pei Wanru could give birth to a prince. But under the circumstances, the Pei family did not dare to do anything at all, and even wanted to be safe for Pei Wanru and his son.

Otherwise, Pei Wanru's heart disease will worsen and she will die of depression. Where will she find another "Empress Pei"?

In recent years, Empress Pei has lived almost autistically in the Jiaofang Hall, and is particularly cold to the Sixth Prince, without showing any ambition to win the position of crown prince.

Even so, the Pei family has always been wary of the sixth prince.

...

The second prince and the princess Shouning had no idea about the complicated thoughts of Mrs. Yong'an. When they saw the sixth prince, the brother and sister both had smiles on their faces.

Princess Shouning smiled and stepped forward, grabbed the sixth prince's hand and looked at it briefly: "Sixth brother, are your health well?"

The Sixth Prince nodded obediently.

The second prince raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You study all day long, don't be a nerd. In the future, riding a horse and practicing arrows, and your body will be stronger."

The sixth prince smiled shyly: "Second brother is making fun of me again."

Emperor Xuanhe values ​​martial arts over literature. Almost all the princes inherited Emperor Xuanhe's brave temperament - even if they don't like martial arts so much, they have to pretend to be tens of them in order to win Emperor Xuanhe's favor.

However, the Sixth Prince has liked studying since he was a child, and never forgets to learn from it every moment. The several tutors in the study all praised the Sixth Prince.

Emperor Xuanhe often jokes about this matter, and brothers will also make jokes.

After a few jokes, the sixth prince stepped forward and bowed to Queen Pei: "My son has seen the mother."

When the sixth prince raised his eyes, his eyes looked at Empress Pei, and his admiration and closeness were revealed.

Queen Pei lowered her eyes, avoiding the arduous light of hope that the Sixth Prince was shining, and nodded softly.

The light in the Sixth Prince's eyes quickly dimmed.

The father loved him, and the imperial concubine Zheng treated him gently and approached him, and his brothers and sisters liked him. But for some reason, the mother was particularly indifferent to him.

He wanted to come to Jiaofang Hall to pay tribute every day, and his mother wanted to rest, so he only allowed him to come back every three days.

He is naturally smart and has great talent in studying. He is often praised by the Grand Tutor. However, his mother never praised him in just a few words.

He occasionally gets sick and always looks forward to his mother coming to see him. However, every time he comes, he is a blue and green indigo...

However, it is no wonder that my mother. The mother is already weak and completely damaged her body's vitality in order to give birth to him. She has been recuperating for many years. There are very few times when she looks happy.

He is a man and should take good care of his mother. How can he let his mother worry about him?

Thinking of this, the sixth prince straightened his slightly thin chest and said with a smile: "I drank the soup and sweated all over. I came over overnight and it was already cured. Mother doesn't have to worry about me."

Queen Pei finally looked up and glanced at the Sixth Prince, with a little gentleness in her eyes: "Take care for your health."

This rare warmth made the Sixth Prince burst into joy and smile, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, my son must listen to his mother's words."

What a kind and innocent child.

Empress Pei silently stared at the handsome face that looked like herself, and a sudden burst of guilt and sourness in her heart.

...

During lunch, Empress Pei sat down, moved a few chopsticks, and showed her tiredness. She went back to the dormitory to rest.

The second prince and others were used to it. After lunch, the second prince went to the study and Princess Shouning sent Mrs. Yong'an out of the palace.

The sixth prince should have returned to Yuqing Palace. But today, Empress Pei's attitude is rarely gentle, and he is quite reluctant to leave. He mustered up the courage to go to Empress Pei's dormitory.

The palace maid guarding outside the gate was about to spread the word, but the sixth prince stopped him with his eyes.

The mother and son should be intimate... right! He occasionally fails to pass the passage into his mother's dormitory, which is not a big cross!

The Sixth Prince quietly pushed the door in with a hint of naughtyness and secretly joy in his heart.

The only ones who could enter the mother's dormitory to serve her are Qingdai and Songlan. When she heard the sound of pushing the door, Songlan's expression changed slightly. She suddenly looked over and looked alert.

Empress Pei was also stunned, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and quickly put away the scroll in her hand.

What's wrong with this?

Did he come wrong?

The sixth prince was inexplicably guilty and stopped and whispered: "Don't be upset, Mother. The palace servants who were guarding the gate wanted to spread it, but I stopped them."

The sixth prince, who was noble in the Great Chu Dynasty, was just a lonely little boy who longed to get the attention of his mother.

Queen Pei's nose was slightly sore, and her hands holding the scroll were trembling slightly.

The sixth prince waited for a while, and saw that Empress Pei was still silent, and felt both disappointed and sad. He pretended to be light and said, "My mother has a good rest, and my son will leave now."

The sixth prince looked at Queen Pei reluctantly and turned around slowly.

Queen Pei finally felt soft and said softly: "Come here and sit for a while before leaving."

The Sixth Prince turned around like a whirlwind, and rushed to Queen Pei, sat down happily, and smiled foolishly at Queen Pei.

Empress Pei: “…”

Qingdai and Songlan looked at each other, and the alert on their face gradually faded.

The Sixth Prince smirked for a moment before asking, "Mother, what were you looking at just now?"

Qingdai's expression tightened and was about to open her mouth. Songlan quickly turned her eyes. Qingdai had to keep silent.

Empress Pei hesitated for a moment, slowly let go, and opened the scroll.

The Sixth Prince looked over curiously.

On the scroll is a graceful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, black hair like ink, and unparalleled beauty. The girl stood under the crabapple tree, holding a beautiful crabapple in her hand.
