Palace.

King Kang waited outside the main hall. Waiting for the emperor's summons.

After a short time, Li Wucai asked the emperor to tell Li Kang to enter the palace.

The emperor sat on the imperial scrivener case, looked at this son, and couldn't help but think of what he heard recently. I couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in my heart.

Li Kang saluted and greeted, not daring to be careless at all. bowed slightly, waiting for the emperor to speak.

"What has the fourth child been busy with lately? He called him father, but his tone was not very strict.

"It's the son's negligence, don't blame the father, there are a few more errands, and the marriage is near. I am afraid that my father will work hard. Li Kang said respectfully. He could feel that something was wrong with the emperor, and his attitude was very different from before. After thinking about it, there should be nothing wrong, but I heard some rumors, shouldn't it---

He secretly glanced at Li Wucai, who gave him a look back. He was a little relieved.

Li Wucai almost broke out in a cold sweat, and under the emperor's nose, King Kang dared to inquire with him. Fortunately, the emperor did not pay attention.

Li Kang also didn't support it, and then looked at what the emperor seemed to be thinking, and didn't care about his actions.

After half a ring, the emperor nodded. "Marriage should be on the agenda. I'll arrange it. Now that the date has been set, there is nothing wrong with you being careful. If you have a lot of errands, you should try to adjust as much as possible, so as not to burn your body. ”

"Let my father worry. However, the father should take care of himself, and the son is willing to share his father's worries. Li Kang said thoughtfully.

The fourth child standing in front of him has matured, and compared to the other sons, this one used to be inconspicuous. The safest. When did you become greedy? Share your worries for him? Do you hope that he will give way as soon as possible? One by one, I hope that his body will collapse. They all hid their thoughts, thinking that he didn't know! I really thought he was old and confused? But his body was not as good as before--- he was not reconciled when he had not yet reached the age of Longzhong! Hongde was gone, and it was impossible to come back, and everything he had done before was only for the sake of the emperor. Hong De can't look down on him after all.

"I heard that your side concubine is making trouble? Just think carefully, don't have an accident. "If Concubine Yun hadn't begged him, she wouldn't have given Xu Qianniang to the fourth child. He didn't think about it properly---

The emperor regretted not leaving himself, except for his daughter, the rest should be brought into the palace. At the beginning, he listened to Hong De's words, and then he was like this, but now he thinks about it, what is in line with heaven and earth, he is the emperor of a country! He is the son of heaven! What if he wants it! But he hesitated at that time---

"Father, Concubine Xu suddenly fell ill and went crazy. It was also the son's carelessness that made the matter out. At this point, it's all right. ”

Li Kang sweated. Xu Qianniang was brought into the house by her mother with a lot of effort. Xu Qianniang got the letter of his wedding, and she did make trouble a few times. No longer the gentle and virtuous of the past, knowledgeable and reasonable. If it weren't for the amulet of this god's attendant, how could he keep her! Mother repeatedly comforted her, otherwise she would not have died, and she would not have been able to stay in the palace.

Women can't be spoiled after all. He couldn't help but think of tranquility. That woman is a maverick, she is not the same beauty--- she broke up her marriage, she didn't think much about it, she just didn't want to see Rong Yuan get what she wanted. Rong Yuan can't see through it more and more, he is different after all, the friendliness of his childhood can't withstand the growth of the years. Rong Yuan is afraid that he will not be able to use it. Which side will Prince Rong's Mansion behind him stand on?

"I'm glad you're sensible. Now that you are here, look at your mother. She misses you hard. When the emperor thought of Concubine Yun, his displeasure eased. Thinking about the child born by Concubine Yun, there is always something different.

"I'm old, a few of you, except for the youngest five years old, have grown up, it's time to take over from me. ”

Li Kang was taken aback. "The sons are terrified, and the father is upright and prosperous. The son always needs the teachings of his father! If he is able to do what he can, even if his father sends him, he will never give up! However, the matter of unification has its own order, and it is even more necessary for the father to be the master!"

The emperor's words were a temptation in Li Kang's eyes. He couldn't help but make it clear.

The father's suspicion is getting heavier and heavier, and he may not know which one he believed. Don't break things up at the end of the day.

"The queen has arrived!" the little eunuch reported outside the palace.

The emperor said noisily, and Li Kang retired in time.

The queen saw Li Kang coming out of it. A hint of mockery flashed across his face. Xindao, like his mother, pretends to be weak. In fact, it is wolf ambition in his bones. They are all staring at that position! Her son is right! Since ancient times, he has established a successor and a long. She deserves it!

She was worried about Li Mingzhu's affairs, and overheard that Li Kang had been summoned by the emperor. I don't know why? If I inquired again, I was afraid that the emperor would be suspicious, so I had to come in person.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Li Kang come out and saluted her. She only pretends to be a mother.

"Kang'er has something to tell your father and mother, and it is unfortunate that your father and son will be disturbed. Why are you leaving?"

Li Kang was like a mirror in his heart. "After returning to his mother, it was his father and son who came to see him. Inquire about marriages and a few miscellaneous items. Shicai asked his son to see his mother, but she was not in good health. "There's no need to hide it, she loves to believe it or not. It is better to move some hands and feet suspiciously, and show the horse's feet.

"Speaking of marriage, Miss Lin is still the niece of the concubine, and the relatives of your brothers, but the emperor can figure out that the good girls are left to their children. Your brothers should be closer and closer after marriage. "The queen didn't expect that the emperor would marry a few girls who were tied to each other. This is to let them guard against each other! He himself is not in good health, but he does not appoint a prince and does not give way! Her son is so good, but he is blind, he just can't see! All day long, he thinks about this to take his position, and that one wants to kill him!

Of course, Li Kang understood what the queen meant. He is not alone in this kind of marriage. It's the same for the brothers. It's up to whoever can defend against it. Lin Yun he has seen it, and he can get by. Marry back and put it on the table.

"What the Queen Mother said is very true!"

"Then let your mother go. The queen said no more, and walked towards the store.

The queen meets the emperor. Sit down modestly.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have something to discuss with you. The marriage of several princes is imminent. You see?"

"I have my own arrangements, and the queen only needs to supervise. "The emperor didn't know that the queen had come to listen to the rumors. He should only care about his son. The boss's temperament doesn't know if he can grow up. As the eldest of the elders, he is a little worse after all.

"The concubines will. I heard that the third prince of Prince Rong's mansion is also going to marry, and he is still the original one. After the queen finished speaking, she looked at the emperor, this marriage was given by the emperor, and the emperor canceled it. Now people want to get married, but there is nothing to do with the emperor.

"I'm also for the good of that girl An, who wants to be a bad person. Let them be. The emperor was also aggrieved for this matter for several days. He was afraid of the marriage of the two families, so he dismantled it from the beginning. I didn't think that Rong Yuan's kid would not go, and the old prince came to the palace to talk to him, and he had to agree. And he was given the seal of being in charge of the army. Let's tie the knot. They can't get out of the way.

According to the report from the spies, there has been infighting. An Zhengchen is now idle at home, and he doesn't care about the things in the yamen. So much better. No matter how big the family is, it can't help but rot from the roots.

"Your Majesty, the concubines follow the women, but you also understand your original intentions, so you are not afraid that they will have different intentions?"

"I have said that there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. Prince Rong's Mansion and Ning'an's Mansion are the arms left to me by the former emperor, I don't believe them, which one do I believe? Besides, which of the two of their two children can stand up to the problem? I also pity the old prince Rong, who is still working hard when he is old. Shizi's illness has not been good for many years, and the remaining two are not angry--- alas, I can't bear it---"

After the emperor finished speaking, he almost got goosebumps. He really thinks about the old minister!

The queen didn't show it on her face, and scolded in her heart. "The emperor's compassion for his subordinates is a blessing for his courtiers. The concubine understood. ”

"You and I have been married for many years, you know me best. It is said that young couples come to old companions, and I think about stepping down as soon as possible and letting my sons take over. You and I are so old. ”

"Look at what you said, you better take care of them. Besides, the emperor is in his prime, where is he old, look at your complexion, it is the same as when the concubine saw you back then--- "The queen suddenly showed the delicate appearance of a little daughter. provoked the emperor's heart to bloom for a while. I don't care about whether it's true or not, I just think that the queen's words sound good.

"Xian'er also joked, how about you and me have a few drinks tonight?"

"The concubine is delighted!" "Anyway, it's always good for the emperor to take you seriously." As a queen, even if she is high, she is not alone in owning the emperor, watching one by one who is younger than herself and who looks beautiful enter the palace. She can't fight, she can't rob, and she has to be generous and virtuous. The youth is gone---

The emperor is no longer young, and their old opponents can think clearly, only the young man who has not woken up from his dream is still competing there. She'd long since turned a blind eye. With Concubine Cheng Shu here, they can't get much good fruit.

"Mingzhu has a connection with you?" just said that he was having a drink in the evening, and suddenly asked such a sentence.

"Your Majesty, although Mingzhu was not born by me, after all, I raised her. How can you say that you can break it---" The queen said, shedding tears.

There is no harm in showing weakness in front of the emperor, she deeply understands it.

The concubine knew that she had caused trouble again. But she has also suffered a lot! Besides, she has offended the girl An Ning, if it falls into her hands, where will Mingzhu still have her life! She is not sensible, she is spoiled by the concubine, but she is your daughter, the proud daughter of the sky, she should have what she wants! The concubine knows that the major affairs of the family and the country, the country of the moon has been eyeing the tiger for a long time, and you also said that with marriage, it is difficult to stop the heart of aggression. What was the prince of the Moon Kingdom like, and the concubines still remember it! Didn't the emperor think it was a threat? What if Mingzhu went to the Moon Kingdom? I heard Mingzhu say that the prince fell in love with An Ning, and that wild girl didn't know where the charm came from, and they wanted to get her one or two! There was nothing wrong with Mingzhu wanting to destroy her! She was so lucky that Mingzhu was disgusted and had to try her best to survive. Your Majesty, that's our daughter---"

The queen cried pitifully. The emperor was irritable, this unconscious daughter caused trouble three times! But just like the queen said, from childhood to adulthood, although the marriage had to stay away, it was for the sake of the country! If she really wanted to die, she would also be uncomfortable---
