Princess Kang'an & Prince Zhen & Prince Xie Meng & Deng Chengzhai Appear

Princess Kang'an, Gongxiang, is Xuanzong's true direct daughter and the youngest child of Xuanzong.

Her biological mother, Empress Xie, has a life experience that can be called a legend. According to the records of later generations and the rumors at the time, Empress Xie was Xuanzong's favorite woman from youth to old age to death.

Almost all the heirs that Xuanzong valued in his life came from Empress Xie's knees.

Although the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Zhaoqing, was not born of Empress Xie, but because of Empress Xie's nurturing and doting, she has always been arrogant to everyone, causing all the feudal lords to retreat.

As the daughter of the emperor and empress, Princess Kang'an was born to enjoy all the glory and wealth.

It's just that Her Royal Highness is not as domineering as her eldest sister Zhaoqing, but gentle and refined.

The main reason is that the twins, Princess Kang'an and King Zhen, when Empress Xie was pregnant, were said to have been plotted by Gu Zhen, who was abolished before, and they were not in good health.

He started to take medicine almost as soon as he could eat. He has been sick for a long time, wants to be domineering, and has no energy.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the emperor and empress had always shown special sympathy for these two children.

Even Princess Zhaoqing, who is the best at competing with her brothers and sisters, would be jealous even to the prince, but never jealous of Princess Kang'an.

After all, when this younger sister landed, Princess Zhaoqing was already close, and she clearly remembered the weakness of Kang An and King Zhen.

Whatever you want, everyone can do what they want...Frankly speaking, Princess Kang'an doesn't need to be overbearing. After all, if you can get satisfied with just a few words, why do you have to speak harshly?

The first troublesome thing for Princess Kang An happened when she was thirteen years old. Because of her cousin Xie Meng's joy of having a baby again, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer. Hearing that Deng's residence planned to set up a three-day and three-night banquet for the young master, I became interested and wanted to join in the fun.

She and King Zhen are twins, they grew up together when they were young, they were inseparable, she was going, King Zhen wanted to go after hearing about it.

The empress asked the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse of the two children, and she nodded her head when she thought it was feasible.

So this time Deng's residence was extraordinarily heavily guarded. Deng Chengzhai personally checked the layout inside and out, but in the end he was still worried. Outside the main hall where the banquet was held, he decorated a small courtyard by himself, set up a banquet table, and met with his wife in private. Xie Meng explained: "His Royal Highnesses King Zhen and Princess Kang'an are a little sick. There is a lot of noise outside, so don't bump into them. Why don't you let Madam accompany you in the small courtyard when the time comes."

He also said that there is a rockery in the small yard, and there are pavilions on the rockery.

If the two golden branches and jade leaves want to see the excitement of the banquet, they can look down on the rockery from a high position without being contaminated by alcohol during the banquet.

This arrangement was originally very good, but on the day of the running water banquet, Xie Meng had to plead guilty and leave for a while because of his eldest son's stubbornness and injured the visitor's grandson's head, so as to deal with the aftermath.

Just for a while, someone came up and said to the two highnesses: "The two highnesses have been ill for many years, do you know why?"

Although Xie Meng was not present, the two imperial heirs were served by others. Seeing this situation, they felt that it was not good, so they couldn't help frowning, and told them to get out of here!

The man knew that the time was urgent, so he didn't dare to go around in circles, he hurriedly said: "It's all because the empress cruelly prescribed drugs in order to frame the former and the later, which caused the two of you to suffer damage in the womb! If it weren't for the great medical skills of the Imperial Physician in the palace, the two His Highnesses might not even be able to land!"

"You bastard!" The head servant serving King Zhen changed his expression in shock, and hurriedly ordered, "Who told this kind of pickled stuff to get in front of His Highness? Hurry up and drag it down!"

King Zhen and Princess Kang'an were both indifferent due to their health, and they were stunned for a moment when they heard this.

After a while, Xie Meng, who received the news, panicked and rushed over to plead guilty, and comforted him: "Don't listen to that thing's nonsense, everyone knows that my aunt loves juniors the most. Look at King Qin, Zhaoqing, and Wei. Wang, look at King Yan, who is not treated like a pearl by my aunt? Let alone the two of you? You are my aunt's own flesh and blood, and it is too late for my aunt to love you!"

Deng Chengzhai, who arrived later, also said: "The wife is only the empress's niece, and the empress treats her as her own. If you talk about other things about the empress, it's fine. If you say that the empress will harm your own flesh and blood, it is absolutely impossible. things."

Their family must not be in the mood to celebrate the baby addition, and King Zhen and Princess Kang'an actually didn't believe it too much at this time.

After all, the two brothers and sisters have always been favored by the empress, and they are not stupid. How could they doubt their biological mother because of the words of a person who jumped out of nowhere?

Therefore, after comforting Deng Chengzhai and his wife, they went back home.

Xie Fenghuang in the palace had received the news a long time ago, and couldn't help being shocked and angry: "Who is that lowly maid? How could she rush to the two children?!"

She was not angry because she leaked the events of the year to the two children, but, "Fortunately, she just wanted to chew a few words, what if she tried to kill her?! Deng Chengzhai has always been a delicate person, and this is also the time when the two children will go to his house." , the reason why Ben Gong didn’t refuse, how did he do this time?!”

The left and right looked at each other in dismay, and finally Chen Jing went up to report: "If you go back to your mother, that lowly maid seems to be the son of the Gu family. When the Gu family was overthrown, the family son was probably dealt with, but some young servants in the Zhuangzi, because of the investigation It’s not a close relationship with the master’s family, so it’s sold out.”

Who knew that there was someone hiding here who was thinking about the old master, sneaked into Deng's mansion, and rushed to the emperor's heir to talk nonsense?

"So, the centipede is dead but not stiff." Empress Xie sighed, and said, "First deal with people, no, first follow the vine to see if it is her intention alone, or is there something behind it?"

The attendants cautiously agreed, and finally asked for instructions: "Then, Ma'am, where are the two Highnesses?"

"Without evidence, what do you do with these words?" Empress Xie said calmly, "After they come back, just coax them."

She can even coax Chunjia, let alone two thirteen-year-old children?

Sure enough, after a long while, King Zhen and Princess Kang An came back, neither brother nor sister mentioned this matter, they only talked about what they had seen and heard at the banquet in Deng's mansion, and also talked about the appearance of the new young son of Deng's family: "It's so ugly, Not as good-looking as their parents and children."

"Children are like that when they are young, and it will be fine when they grow up." Empress Xie smiled and coaxed them, "When you two were just born, you were also wrinkled."

Princess Kang'an pouted and said: "That's not true, the queen mother is lying. At most, my brother is not good-looking, but I must be a beauty! My wet nurse said that I just landed back then, and I am a real beauty embryo!"

The queen and the waiters all laughed, and echoed: "Yes, yes, Princess Kang'an has always been a beauty, but she is so beautiful!"

"Then what about me?" Zhen Wang said unwillingly, "We are twins, if my sister is beautiful, I must be beautiful too!"

Princess Kang'an said decisively: "No, my brother is definitely not as good-looking as me, I am the prettiest!"

They coquettishly spoiled the queen for a while, and then they parted ways and left.

So it seems to Zhonggong that this matter is over, but not long after, when Zhen Wang went to see his sister, he said to her in private: "I have been playing with my brothers outside in low clothes these days, and I have heard a lot of things. It's not the same as what we heard in the palace."

Princess Kang'an asked curiously: "Why is there a different way?"

King Zhen hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Some people say that the queen mother is not as good as we thought, that is, the incident at the banquet at Cousin Meng's house...not a person told me in private."

"Why are they telling us this?" Princess Kang An asked puzzledly, "We are so young, and I am still a girl. As for you, brother, even though you are the prince, it is possible that you still have the seat of Brother 15." What? Even if we know about this matter, what can we do? We can't settle accounts with the queen mother?"

"Of course not." King Zhen said quickly, "I just think... father, queen and mother are different from what I thought before, and so is Brother Fifteen!"

Princess Kang'an rested her chin and said boredly: "Ah, it's not the same if it's different. Are we doing well now? Since we're doing well, why do we have to think so much?"

Zhen Wang was choked by her words, thought for a while, but couldn't refute, and only choked out: "Aren't you curious just now?"

"Curiosity is curiosity." The princess said confidently, "But there is no need to be a weapon for those people! Besides, who knows if what they say is true or not?"

King Zhen said: "If one or two people say that, it's fine. I've said it several times. Besides, I think about the details of what they said, and I don't think it seems like it was made up at will."

"Brother, have you ever thought about a question?" Princess Kang'an tilted her head to look at him, "The queen mother is the third queen of the father, and the queen mother's family background is not good, and she was just a Baolin when she entered the palace... If the queen mother didn't With some tricks, could it be that the empress position was given to her by the virtuous, virtuous, gentle, courteous and thrifty concubines of the other concubines?"

"It's for this reason that I feel that maybe the queen mother they said is true."

Princess Kang'an nodded: "It's true, it's true. If it's false, I'm really afraid that my mother's means will not be enough to protect us from living a happy life like this! Think about it, I'm a girl, Unless the father dislikes it, you can stay in the imperial capital. You are different, you will be entrusted, whether the fief is good or bad, it will be the future of you and your children and grandchildren. The queen mother is powerful, so you will not be wronged!"

King Zhen still felt disapproving at this time: "I am the mother's first son, and the mother's queen has only a few heirs? Can you feel sorry for me? I'm afraid the mother won't say such things, so the father can't treat me badly."

However, after a few days, he had to choose a concubine to choose a fiefdom, but he suffered a heavy blow: his compatriot elder brother, the current crown prince Gongxiang, first recommended to him a man who seemed to have a good background, but his family was empty and he didn't have much political future. Other people's girls.

Then he was given a not particularly barren but tied feudal kingdom.

The point is, Emperor Chunjia didn't have any objection to this, even when King Zhen tried to act like a baby, he smiled and said: "The crown prince and your mother are compatriots, how can he wrong you? He is actually very considerate... ...What? Don't you like it? That place isn't bad, if you don't believe me, you'll know when you go back and stay for two years."

King Zhen was stunned, and was a little suspicious for a moment: Are he and the crown prince really the same mother? ? ?

He had been favored since he was a child, and his brothers and sisters gave in. Now he felt that he had been tricked, and he was not polite. The emperor had a gentle attitude here, but he obviously supported the prince. In a fit of rage, he went to the East Palace to find Gongxiang to make a theory.

However, Gongxiang is like the emperor, and his attitude is very gentle. No matter how harsh his words are, he is gentle and gentle, which makes him seem more and more unreasonable.

However, resolutely do not change!

The implication is that it was arranged for him in this way.

King Zhen: "????"

Do you always feel like you are a fake favored heir?

In the end, it was Princess Kang'an who heard the news and sent him a private message, telling him to go to the queen: "Only the queen mother can make decisions for you."

"Why?" King Zhen was furious, he didn't go to thank the queen immediately, but went to see his sister, and said angrily, "Isn't the father our real father? Isn't the prince the elder brother of our mother? Why? Do this to me!"

"Why?" Princess Kang'an teased the parrot on the small table, and raised her head in bewilderment, "Of course it's because you are the only son under the knees of the father and queen mother! There have also been a few legitimate sons, but they were all born by the concubines and adopted by her, so they can't be regarded as real legitimate sons. They can only be called legitimate heirs."

"Only the two of us were born after the mother made the queen, and are the real heirs."

"It's fine if I'm the princess, but my brother is the prince!"

"Even if Brother Fifteen is a compatriot with our mother, don't forget that just like mother's queen is the third queen of Emperor Father, Brother Fifteen is also the third prince of the dynasty!"

"Why does elder brother think that fifteenth elder brother entered the East Palace by relying on his filial piety?"

"Brother Fifteen, can you guard against you?"

King Zhen's face turned red: "I never thought of fighting with Brother Fifteen!"

"But other people may not think so." Princess Kang'an reminded him, "Just say that those people who gossip in front of my brother in the past two years, are they really just trying to provoke the relationship between us and the queen mother? Between the queen mother and the backhand It can suppress us, I understand this truth, they really don't understand? Besides, the background of the mother's mother, the achievements so far, if it was really done at the beginning to exchange our health for the queen, how could it be Do you care about our separation from her?"

"The reason why those people provoked my elder brother is that the ultimate goal is not to make us remember our mother, but to incite elder brother to fight against fifteenth brother step by step!"

"After all, the queen mother is here. If we don't cling to the queen mother, even if my brother thinks about it, if the queen mother persuades me, I'm afraid he will give up his thoughts."

The princess calmly said, "So, the father is actually right. As an elder brother, marry a girl who has no real help but a good reputation as a concubine. If you go to a middle-class girl, you won't have a bad life but And definitely a vassal state without the capital to rebel is the best."

King Zhen was silent for a long time.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "Then you still let me go to find the queen mother? You said that this is the best!"

"This is the best from the overall situation." Princess Kang'an gave him a strange look, "But why should we take the overall situation into consideration?"

What she said was so straightforward that King Zhen was in a trance before he realized it. Yes, although I was wronged by doing this, in the long run, the emperor and the crown prince are indeed relieved, and the country is also relieved... But Why do you wrong me!

Father and brother are unreliable, but I have a mother and queen!

He immediately went to Xie Fenghuang and cried: "Queen, is this son really your own flesh and blood? Then why did you raise him alone, and son's concubine and fief are much worse than his brothers? Ten Fifth Brother doesn’t like Erchen? Then simply send Erchen far away, and never return to the Imperial Capital in this life! I don’t care about these riches and honors, but I just don’t want to part with my mother... "

Xie Fenghuang had already heard the ins and outs from the subordinates, and knew that this son was purely taught by his sister, but after all, she was born of flesh and blood, and what happened back then, she didn't feel a little guilty about the two children.

Although he knew King Zhen's plan well at this moment, he still coaxed a few words in the air of a loving mother, then turned around and scolded the prince: "You bastard! King Zhen is so much younger than you, why do you want to guard against him like this? You don't have the ability at all, what qualifications do you have to live in this East Palace! You might as well get out and tell your father to choose the best again!"

As soon as the crown prince heard this, he knew that his mother wanted to support his younger brother, so he quickly explained: "Mother, my son and I are only doing this villain because of the relationship between you and your younger brother and sister!"

He then talked about someone sowing dissension in front of King Zhen, "My son was afraid that their brothers and sisters would really have a grudge against the queen mother because of this, but this kind of thing didn't cause trouble. If you deliberately explain it, it will make people suspicious! My son We can only discuss it with the emperor in private, and use this matter to let the younger siblings understand that the empress mother is the one who loves them the most!"

Xie Fenghuang laughed angrily: "So, I still have to thank you?"

"The queen's words are serious!" The prince knew that she was not really angry when he heard the words, so he salivated and leaned forward to beat his mother's legs and shoulders, and said courteously, "My son is your first child, how can you not be more filial to you? Help It's all right to enlighten younger siblings, how can I bear the thank you from my mother?"

Xie Fenghuang snorted and said with a smile: "Do you think this Gong is so easy to fool?"

But after all, he didn't pursue his real purpose anymore, turned his head and said to the left and right, "Look at this, even if you marry a noble daughter to King Zhen and seal the rich land, it is likely that you will not be the match of the crown prince."

King Zhen is still too tender, unlike a prince, he is also slippery towards his own mother.

Both sides laughed: "Your Majesty, isn't this very good? His Highness the Crown Prince is very intelligent, just like your Majesty back then...His Royal Highness King Zhen is honest and well-behaved. Only in this way can the harmony between brothers last forever."

"Prince?" Xie Fenghuang smiled and said, "Although he is smart, perhaps because of his young age, he still lacks bearing. What he did against King Zhen this time is not decent enough."

After the queen said this, she pondered slightly, "It's Kang An, who surprised me very much."

The close attendant said flatteringly: "His Royal Highness Kang An is beautiful and beautiful, and he has also passed on to your empress."

"She actually doesn't look like Ben Gong." When mentioning this little daughter, Xie Fenghuang hesitated for a while, sighed, and said, "She looks more like Your Majesty."

Seeing An Jingjing, no one knew how many thoughts had changed in their minds... When Xie Fenghuang entered the palace, the emperor was already twenty-three.

She had never seen Emperor Chunjia when he was young.

But looking at Princess Kang'an at this moment, it seems that after decades of time, she has glimpsed some of her husband's facial expressions when he was a teenager.

Since he was a child, Gong Xiangji, who had a good reputation in the fief, should have been so calm and thoughtful before he grew up?

The next day, Princess Kang'an received a lot of boxes and cages. When she opened them, they were all excellent things.

She couldn't help being surprised, and asked Xie Fenghuang specifically: "Why did the queen mother suddenly reward me with so many precious things? I heard that other brothers and sisters don't have them?"

"No, because these are not rewards from the palace." The queen looked at her gently and said, "These are the relics left by your great-grandmother, and I originally planned to give them all to your seventh brother, because there are too many and too precious. , your seventh brother didn't dare to ask for it, and only brought a few things as souvenirs..."

"The rest has been in the warehouse. I originally planned to seal it up like this. We will discuss it later."

"But I suddenly felt that if it was handed over to you, your great-grandmother would agree."

Princess Kang'an met the late Empress Dowager Ji, but she was too young at that time, and she didn't see her many times, so she had no memory of her. Now that she recalled it, she really couldn't remember her Like their own evidence, can not help but ask: "Why?"

Xie Fenghuang smiled, stroked the top of her hair: "Because you are like your father."

There was a clear nostalgia in the queen's eyes, "If your great-grandmother is still alive today, she will definitely take the initiative to pass these things on to you."

The phoenix master who really presided over the rise and fall of the three dynasties of Gongxiang had met Shenzong many years ago.

But I don't know, what will happen to them?

Simply, I and Gong Xiangji have a happy ending after all.

When the queen was distracted, Princess Kang'an had already taken out a flower crown from behind her, put it on her head, and smiled at her: "This is what the queen mother said, so you are welcome! I like this flower crown the most... ...does it look good?"

Although he is still ignorant, but whatever, it's not a disadvantage anyway.

Princess Kang'an enjoyed all kinds of favors since she was a child, and she was used to being treated differently, so she didn't bother to ask the bottom line, and said enthusiastically, "There are dozens of them, and I have to change one every day, and every day is different!"

Xie Fenghuang laughed: "My son is the prettiest!"

She admired the daughter in front of her, and was very satisfied with the clarity and lightness of Kang An's eyebrows and eyes, without any haze.

Different from Chunjia's heavy expectations since he was a child, and the deepness of hiding his strengths and biding his time later, the emperors and empresses' respective efforts and efforts over the years, at this moment, everything seems so worthwhile.

This is the youngest child of Empress Xie and Emperor Chunjia, and the only direct daughter.

She has the temperament and behavior that resembles the emperor when she was young, and she also has the high spirits of Queen Xie at that time.

Empress Xie couldn't help thinking of the name the emperor had chosen for her daughter, Gongxiang.

秵 means rice flower.

Princess Kang'an looks the best when her parents were in the Mood for Love.
