The little girl looked like she couldn't bear to leave him, and this knowledge pleased the eldest prince. He stretched out his hand and snatched Cheng Jiujiu from the hands of eunuch Zhang.
This time, he didn't carry her, but held her in his arms. The soft little ball, full of milky fragrance, was held in his arms.
"Your Highness, this..." The eldest prince was the only outlier in the entire palace. Before Cheng Jiujiu was born, the eldest prince was the most "favored", because no matter what shocking things the eldest prince did, His Majesty the Emperor would turn a blind eye and tolerate it. Even some court officials wanted to report the eldest prince for being too arrogant, but they were all dismissed by His Majesty the Emperor with a sentence that Jin'er was still young and had a child's mind.
Thirty years old, is that still young?
But considering the Emperor’s current age of seventy-three, he is indeed young.
“Can’t you see that the Ninth Prince likes me? Get out of the way, don’t scare him.” The eldest prince, who was once the most favored, is holding the youngest prince, who is now the most favored. The two of them look inexplicably harmonious. This scene is really rare to see in a hundred years.
Everyone knows that the eldest prince is the first son of His Majesty. His birth stopped the rumors that Emperor Sheng could not have a son because he killed his brother and violated the ancestral rules. He walked around the palace like a tyrant and had a glorious record of beating concubines, but His Majesty only confined him to his house for ten days.
As for the other princes, well, the eldest prince would beat up anyone he didn't like.
At first, he relied on his age, but later, when the younger brothers grew up, the eldest prince trained himself in the training grounds so that he could beat his younger brothers all the time. He didn't do anything else but beat the princes. With
such a great reputation, wouldn't it scare the eunuch Li who came to visit? The ninth prince is only three years old, and he would cry for a long time if he got bumped or bruised. What would happen if he was scolded by the eldest prince?
However, things seemed to be different from what he imagined. The ninth prince seemed to be very close to the eldest prince, and the eldest prince seemed to protect the ninth prince very much. The Ninth Prince is really amazing. Not only was he not reprimanded by the First Prince, but it seems that he is even pampered?
Eunuch Li was very moved, but in a moment of distraction, the Ninth Prince was carried away by the First Prince.
Slapping his thigh, Eunuch Li cried, "It's over. I lost the Ninth Prince again."
"This, this, this... How can I explain this to His Majesty?" Eunuch Zhang was not having a good time either. He had finally stolen the Ninth Prince from the Empress, oh no, invited him. Now, His Majesty was looking for someone, but the Ninth Prince was carried away.
It just so happened that that person was the First Prince's ancestor. Hey, two little ancestors, you are going to kill me.
The two eunuchs beside the Emperor and Empress looked at each other sadly at this time, and then went to report to their masters. There is no other way, I have to tell the truth.
In the study, Emperor Mingsheng was discussing state affairs with some old men whose beards were whiter than their hair. These old ministers were making trouble for him here under the pretext of retiring. But he couldn't beat them or scold them, lest they continue to be criticized.
Emperor Mingsheng wanted to take the opportunity to appoint Cheng Jiujiu as the crown prince, and gamble on the mouths of these old guys. As a result, Eunuch Zhang came. He didn't see anyone, and there was displeasure in Emperor Mingsheng's eyes. These old guys were very upset. Where did you take Xiaojiu?
Plop!
Eunuch Zhang knelt on the ground. In front of the palace maids and eunuchs, he was Zhang the chief steward. In front of the young ladies, princes and princesses in the harem, he was also Zhang the eunuch. However, in front of His Majesty the Emperor, he was always the most loyal Little Zhang . He
was furious and kowtowed to confess his guilt.
Under the questioning of Emperor Mingsheng, Eunuch Zhang finally told the reason. Then, he did not dare to look at Emperor Mingsheng, although he wanted to know whether His Majesty the Emperor would be angry with the Grand Prince who was once favored.
"It's rare that Jin'er likes Xiaojiu. In this case, let them have a good exchange of brotherly feelings." Emperor Mingsheng was not as furious as imagined. He waved his hand and let Eunuch Zhang leave.
Jin'er is the eldest prince's Xiao Ming, whose full name is Cheng Jinyun. Because the time of his birth satisfied His Majesty, he was given the character Jin, which means to add icing to the cake and rise to prominence.
The favor he received when he was born is similar to that of Cheng Jiujiu today. After all, Emperor Mingsheng at that time urgently needed a son to consolidate his reputation as the emperor. At that time, everyone thought that this one was undoubtedly the prince. However, after that, the concubines gave birth to heirs one after another... Like Cheng Jiujiu, this His Majesty Jinyun is just a chess piece in the hands of the emperor, but he is a useful chess piece.
On weekdays, he suppressed his sons too much and didn't want them to collude with each other, which caused the old guys in the court to say that the quarrels among the princes were a bad sign.
Although Jin'er's appearance took Xiaojiu away, so that he could not mention the matter of establishing a crown prince today, he could bet on the gossip of these guys.
The mother of the eldest prince died early, and the power of his mother's family was almost suppressed by himself, while the queen's mother's family was a civil official without real power, and Xiaojiu was only three years old. It's okay for the two of them to be on good terms.
Seeing this, several old ministers also knew that the matter of establishing a crown prince today was hopeless. However, what is the attitude of His Majesty today? Is it possible to choose one between the eldest prince and the ninth prince to be the crown prince?
These two, one is the notorious eldest prince, and the other is the immature ninth prince, neither of them is suitable to be the crown prince of a country. Come on, come on, step down for now, bring other princes in the future, and then guess the emperor's heart.
The emperor and his ministers all had their own plans, so on the surface they were having a good time, and it was a good scene where the emperor and his ministers were united.
On the other hand, after the eldest prince Jin Yun took Cheng Jiujiu away, he intended to play with him for a while, but who knew that the little thing actually fell asleep in his arms.
Do you think he is a bed?
The eldest prince was so angry that he lifted Cheng Jiujiu's head. As a result, the little thing buried its head in the cold wind again, and its pink little mouth complained dissatisfiedly, "Cold, my brother, cold."
The eldest prince Jin Yun, "..."
He really wanted to wake this little bastard up, but this guy was soft from head to toe, and he didn't know where to start for a while. Although he has many years of experience in beating his younger brother, this one is too weak. Forget it, just raise him. When he grows up, you can beat him. Thinking of this, His Highness Jinyun held Cheng Jiujiu in his arms and shielded him from the cold wind.
Then a strange sight appeared in the imperial city. The usually arrogant and domineering High Highness Jinyun held something like a baby and ran towards his bedroom with the lightness skill.
This scene was seen by countless palace maids and eunuchs, and they had various guesses about the red object,
"What is the High Highness holding?"
"It looks like a ball."
"I think it looks like a cat."
"It's probably a person..."
Because His Highness Jinyun did not hide it at all, and Emperor Mingsheng even deliberately spread the news to announce that his offspring had a harmonious relationship, everyone knew that Cheng Jiujiu would live in His Highness' Jin Palace, and others were not allowed to disturb him.
The Queen Mother was worried and came to see Cheng Jiujiu every day, but Cheng Jiujiu said that he had forgotten his mother because he had a brother. Now the Queen Mother can no longer protect herself, so she had to cling to her eldest brother.
Although Queen Xiande also knew this, but... In the end, the Queen Mother kept all of Cheng Jiujiu's wet nurses and maids, from feeding to washing clothes, and even sent a royal physician, the number of people increased dramatically!
Because of one person, the whole Jin Palace became lively. Cheng Jiujiu expressed his happiness, and the tragic nursing career of the eldest prince, His Highness Jinyun, officially began.
The little dumpling only looked adorable and soft, but he was very sleepy and greedy. He would sleep for two hours and eat when he woke up. He also had to see His Highness Jinyun, otherwise he would make a fuss.
In just half a month, His Highness Jinyun's eye sockets had become so deep.
Cheng Jiujiu expressed her sympathy, but she didn't want it to be like this. Who let her, a nursing baby, be so easily sleepy and fall asleep whenever she wanted? Now the eldest prince is her amulet, and Cheng Jiujiu was reluctant to let him go.
Thus, the arrogant and domineering His Highness Jinyun met a nemesis in his life.
He wanted to be fierce to Cheng Jiujiu, but this little thing always ran towards him with his short legs, calling him in a baby voice, and always holding all kinds of snacks in his hands to give him in various ways. As long as he picked him up and held him high, the little thing would show a big smile, "Royal brother, have a snack."
Then, His Highness Jinyun forgot that his original intention was to get rid of the little troublemaker.
So those palace maids and eunuchs who knew how hot-tempered His Highness Jinyun was instantly regarded as the savior of Jin Palace. As long as they made His Highness unhappy in any way, they should not panic and hide behind His Highness.
His Highness was reluctant to scare His Highness.
In just a few days, Cheng Liujiu dominated His Highness Jinyun and became the true master of the Jin Palace! When the news spread, it shocked countless people.
However, this leisurely life lasted for more than half a month, and Cheng Liujiu was sent back to the Empress's Furong Palace because of a serious illness.
On the surface, it was announced to the outside world that Cheng Liujiu had played too much with the Grand Prince and caught a cold, but in fact, Cheng Liujiu was poisoned.
On the first day of being infected, Cheng Liujiu couldn't help but want to curse.
What a bummer!
How long has it been since she was poisoned? Who is it? She is only three years old, and you are so impatient to kill her? Are all the people in the harem so idle? Cheng Qijiu felt that if the situation continued like this, she would probably die before she could see the hero, as life in the harem was too horrible.
Yes, that's right, there was no hero in the Sheng Dynasty where Cheng Qijiu lived. However, the heroine was her sister, the youngest Seventh Princess.
The hero was a prince from a nomadic tribe on the northwestern grasslands. Because Emperor Mingsheng of the Sheng Dynasty was suspicious by nature, the princes had quarrels with each other, resulting in infighting in the court and unrest in the harem. All of them fought for the throne, causing the entire dynasty to be in turmoil. His Royal Highness
seized the opportunity to attack the Sheng Dynasty and disintegrated the entire Sheng Dynasty from the inside out. During this process, he and the Seventh Princess had a lot of love-hate relationship and wanted to kill each other, and they were having a lot of fun.
The story of the princess of a fallen country and the new king, and the original owner was simply paralyzed! He actually fell in love with the prince, and because of the prince's sweet words, he easily chose Jiangshan to give him away, and even dreamed of Jiangshan marrying the prince.
The result is predictable. Not only did he lose his country, but he also lost his life.
Now Cheng Qijiu can't think that far, she even feels that it is not easy for her to survive. The worst thing is that even if she wants to improve the favorability of the nomadic prince and prepare to exchange the map, she has no chance, because she can't see him at all.
It's too difficult, this world is too difficult.
And this is just the beginning. Cheng Qijiu's life was saved by the imperial physician with a silver needle, but when she opened her eyes, she was almost scared to death. She was stabbed into a hedgehog.
Help, help!
Cheng Qijiu wanted to faint, but the doctor's medical skills were really high. After saving her, Cheng Qijiu was extremely sober at this moment. This feeling was really too uncomfortable.
Doctor Ouyang was very capable. It seemed that he was a Jianghu doctor who was favored to enter the palace. In fact, he was favored by the old tutor outside the palace. After the Empress attacked, he also found an opportunity to sneak into the palace to protect the Empress.
However, for the safety of the Empress, he never revealed his identity. However, this identity was not kept secret for long, because he found out that the Empress actually wanted to buy off the Imperial Hospital.
How could this be?
Hurry up and recommend yourself! Unexpectedly, he learned a bigger secret. However, he always remembered the kindness of the Grand Tutor, so he chose to be "bribed" and helped Queen Xiande to cover up the identity of the Ninth Prince. He
even deliberately used the excuse of difficult labor and premature birth as an excuse, and from then on, whenever the Ninth Prince was sick, he would be the one to treat him. Alas, this person should not accept favors casually, it is too difficult to get back on his feet.
