Chapter 111 My dream is to be a singing god
The second prince listened to his sister's voice.
[The old witch took the opportunity to hold him in the princess's mansion under the pretext of inviting him to attend the flower viewing party in the princess's mansion, and wanted him to be her male pet. ]
[But Dongfang Lingyun was quite stubborn and refused. ]
[He scolded the old witch for being as vicious as a snake, disrupting the government, and helping the Jiang family to usurp the throne.
] [The old witch was furious and scratched his face and had him beaten to death. ]
[To vent her anger, the old witch also framed Dongfang Lingyun's grandfather, Duke Rong, for corruption and abuse of power, and had the entire Duke Rong's mansion confiscated, and the whole family was exiled. ]
The second prince felt his heart skip a beat.
I didn't expect that my good brother Dongfang Lingyun would end up like this in his previous life.
But this time, my father has already punished the Jiang family so badly that they are only half dead, so I won't let the tragedy happen again.
No matter what, I still have to try my best to protect Dongfang Lingyun in this life. As his good friend, I have to try my best to make him live a happier life.
When Xia Miaoyuan was nagging and recalling the plot in the book, the second prince was already in a state of confusion.
The second prince quickly calmed down and wiped Dongfang's tears: "Okay, okay, don't cry. In fact, I didn't expect that father would be so generous this time and directly give you a position as a historian."
"I thought he would at most commend you and reward you with something nice."
"If you really don't want to be this historian, I'll go talk to father."
[Second brother, are you stupid? Dad is the lord of Daxia, his words are law. Can you take this position if you want or not? ]
[If you really said that, where would father put his face? Besides, those stubborn old men in the court would not agree. ]
[And the Duke of Rong's Mansion, they are definitely unwilling either. 】
Dongfang raised his head, blew his nose, and said: "Do you think it's as simple as buying clothes and returning them if you don't like them?"
The second prince shook his head in embarrassment.
Dongfang Lingyun sorted out his emotions and said lightly: "Hey, it seems that my biggest wish in this life, to become the singing god of Daxia, can't be realized."
Xia Miaoyuan walked to Dongfang sympathetically, pulled his arm, and called him "brother" crisply.
[Brother Dongfang, you can cover your face and sing. ] Xia Miaoyuan giggled at Dongfang.
When the other party saw the sweet and lovely smile of the little princess, his heart melted.
"Are you comforting brother Dongfang? The little princess is so kind." Dongfang Lingyun felt warm in his chest.
The second prince was secretly happy: Haha, my little fairy sister has given me another good idea.
He pretended to be in a trance, muttering: "I will always think of an idea, Dongfang, don't despair."
After pretending to think for a while, the second prince patted his head and said happily: "Dongfang, I have a good idea."
"You put on a mask, make up a name, and pretend to be someone else to sing on the stage."
"As long as you wear a mask, no one will know that it is the current Yu Shi singing on the stage."
"Then you can still fulfill your dream."
[Wow! Second brother is getting smarter and smarter! It seems that our Xia family has good genes, and IQ can continue to grow. ]
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the second prince with some admiration.
The second prince was a little flattered by the praise, and his cheeks were slightly hot.
Dongfang's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"
The second prince and Dongfang Lingyun excitedly discussed the details of the implementation. By the time they finished discussing, it was already afternoon.
At this time, the dragon and lion dances at the Tianxiang Restaurant were over, and the streets outside were smooth.
The second prince took Xia Miaoyuan to Yin Xizi's clinic.
Because it was a clinic run by the court, the decoration and procurement were all carried out very quickly.
In ten days, the clinic had already taken shape.
The brother and sister chatted with Yin Xizi for a long time before returning to the palace. Early
winter has arrived, and it gets dark especially early.
At dusk, in Shoukang Palace, Concubine Xian and the Queen Mother sat opposite each other.
"Empress Dowager, you have lost weight recently. You must take care of your health." Concubine Xian's tone was full of concern.
Ever since Concubine Jiang Guifei was banished to the cold palace, Concubine Xian has come to Shoukang Palace more often.
Before, Concubine Xian had always been a staunch lackey of Concubine Jiang Guifei's faction.
After Concubine Jiang Guifei fell, the other lackeys immediately turned to the Empress like fence-sitters.
But only Concubine Xian still had a lukewarm attitude towards the Empress.
Unexpectedly, she became closer to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's power in the palace is not as strong as before. Seeing that Concubine Xian is still close to her, she feels warm, so she is happy to chat with Concubine Xian.
"I don't have the heart to eat and drink." The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly.
Nanny Ji beside her whispered: "Empress Xianfei, please persuade the Empress Dowager. She always suffers from insomnia and dreams at night. If she doesn't sleep well, how can her appetite be good?"
The Empress Dowager glared at Nanny Ji: "Shut up!"
Concubine Xian smiled faintly: "Empress Dowager, don't worry. After a year or so, when the emperor's anger has subsided, you can ask him for mercy and restore Master Jiang to his original position. As for the third young master, you can ask the emperor to show mercy and pardon him to return to Beijing in two years."
The Empress Dowager seemed to be thinking about something: "I'm not thinking about these things."
"These days, I always have the same dream over and over again."
"What did you dream about? Can you tell me about it?"
The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "Princess Anguo."
Concubine Xian was surprised: "Why do I often dream about the little princess?"
"I dreamed that she turned around and grinned at me."
Ever since Xia Miaoyuan and the fifth prince hid in the Empress Dowager's closet and caused a disturbance last time, the Empress Dowager has repeatedly dreamed of Xia Miaoyuan's smile as she lay on Emperor Mingxi's shoulder.
The little baby, who was only a few months old, smiled at her. The smile was somewhat sarcastic and meaningful, which really left a deep impression on her.
From then on, she began to suspect that Xia Miaoyuan was not an ordinary child.
The Empress Dowager's face was a little gloomy, as if she was lost in memory. She murmured, "That smile was too scary."
Concubine Xian asked in a low voice, "Does the Empress Dowager think that Xia Miaoyuan is a strange child?"
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly.
"It is said that the little princess could understand adults' words when she was born, and she could crawl in less than four months. Now she is only seven or eight months old, and she can walk. She is indeed different from others." Concubine Xian deliberately only said half of it, leading the Empress Dowager to continue.
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "And that look is not like that of an ordinary baby."
"What's even more strange is that since she was born, the Queen's luck has suddenly improved."
