The eldest princess felt that their time had come. The concubines in the palace gave birth to six princes, and the emperor was happy and began to relax the government.

According to the shadow report, now the emperor is obsessed with alchemy. He built an alchemy room in the back side hall of the Taiji Palace. In addition to dealing with government affairs every day, the emperor stayed in the alchemy room and worked with the Taoist priest for alchemy.

After the eldest princess came to King Shun to discuss, she sent six shadow guards to the front of the Ning Guofeng to find an opportunity to assassinate the prince. When several shadow guards left Chang'an City, Feng Ling received a message from Shadow Eleven to her.

Feng Ling called the kitten: "Bai Yue, you go and send a message to Bai Ri, there are six shadow guards who have gone to assassinate the prince in front of the Ning Guo Formation." You must protect him and not make mistakes. ”

"Master, Bai Yue killed them all on the way to avoid danger. ”

"No, you can't. That will affect all plans, as long as you protect the prince. ”

The kitten said obediently: "Don't worry, master, Bai Yue and her brother will definitely protect the prince's master." ”

At dinner, Mama Zhang found someone to buy a fish for the kitten, and she looked for the kitten everywhere in Ruyi Palace: "What about the kitten? ”

Feng Ling said: "She ran out, don't care about her food these days." ”

Mama Zhang said uneasily: "It's so dangerous outside, hurry up and let Hongmei go to find it and come back." ”

Feng Ling smiled silently.

In between their conversations, Bai Yue galloped towards Ning Guo like a bolt of lightning. On the outskirts of Chang'an City, Bai Yue saw six black-clothed shadow guards, each with a sword behind their backs, galloping on the official road on horseback.

Bai Yue didn't want to take their lives, but she didn't want them to have an easy journey either. From time to time, she set up obstacles on the official road: knocking down a dozen or so trees on the road, letting the hillside slide down large rocks, and calling a pack of hungry wolves to come......

Bai Yue saw that the six shadow guards were in a hurry along the way, dealing with all kinds of accidents that came suddenly from time to time, she ran away with a grin.

In Kunning Palace, the queen managed the six senses with a body that vomited blood from time to time. King Shun took Princess Shun and took the opportunity of greeting to deliver a message to the queen.

King Shun said to the queen in front of Princess Shun: "Queen Mother, you want to find a way to let your father marry your third brother." ”

The queen asked, "Where is the woman from?"

"The eldest daughter of the Janissary Commander. ”

The queen hesitated for a moment and said, "Enguo Gong mentioned to Bengong that he wanted to marry his daughter Chun Tao to your younger brother, and Bengong also agreed at that time. ”

King Shun felt that the Huang family couldn't help anything, and he kept pulling his hind legs, a little annoyed: "It's better for the daughter of the Huang family to be a side concubine." ”

The queen's face sank suddenly: "Could it be that the women of our Huang family are all destined to be concubines?"

Princess Shun smiled quietly beside her. She thought in her heart that this was really the case, the women of the Huang family from old to young did not have an original wife. Either it is to fill the house, or the concubine is promoted to the main wife, or it is simply a concubine.

When King Shun saw his mother, he was angry and hurriedly explained: "Isn't this an expedient measure? ”

The queen thinks about it, after the fact, the concubine can also become a wife. She glanced at Princess Shun, and when the time came, she would go to her mother and son, and the queen would still be from the Huang family.

Although Princess Shun is not as shrewd as her grandmother, she is also smart, she understands the queen's eyes, and sneers in her heart: the matter has not been done yet, thinking about unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

The queen said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for your father to marry, this palace will ask Fang Lin first what he means, if he is willing, things will be easy to do." ”

King Shun nodded in agreement. He left the harem with Princess Shun, and the queen asked Fang Lin to be invited.

Fang Lin followed the eunuch sent by the empress to invite him to Kunning Palace. He saluted the queen respectfully, then stood up straight and asked, "I don't know what Niang Niang commands?"

The queen asked, "Commander Fang has two daughters, right?"

"Exactly, there are two daughters below. ”

The queen smiled and said, "When the third prince is old enough to marry the princess, the palace has taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Fang family. I don't know what Commander Fang wants?"

Fang Lin was very surprised, he pondered for a while: "Queen Xie, it is about the marriage of the little girl, and I have to discuss it with my wife in the future, I don't know how she arranged it." ”

The queen nodded: "The man is outside, the woman is inside, and the daughter's marriage is still arranged by the mother." Commander Fang went home and asked his wife to give the palace a reply. ”

"Okay, I'll go out of the palace and go home now, and I'll give Niangniang a reply tomorrow. Fang Lin bowed his hand and took his leave.

The news that the queen wanted Fang to lead the eldest daughter as the third princess was soon passed to Zuo Xiang by Chen Yu. Fang Lin didn't go home after coming out of Kunning Palace, he entered the emperor's alchemy room.

Fang Lin told the emperor all what the queen said to him just now: "The queen wants to marry Zaixia and let the third prince marry Zaixia's eldest daughter." ”

The emperor was dressed in loose Taoist clothes and sat on a chair looking at the alchemy furnace. The elixir of immortality is being refined in the furnace, and it will take forty days to be baked. The scrawny Taoist priest kept instructing the eunuch to add ingredients to the furnace and add firewood to the fire.

The emperor listened to what Fang Lin said and said, "It seems that they want to act, are you ready?"

Fang Lin arched his hand and said, "In the morning, it will be arranged according to what Your Majesty said." ”

"Then you will promise the queen to confuse them. ”

"Obey the command. ”

Fang Lin turned around and walked out of the alchemy room, and he walked outside the palace.

The person who is most unlikely to betray the current emperor is Fang Lin. Fang Lin's father was the emperor's maternal uncle and the only elder brother of Concubine De.

Fang Lin and the emperor are cousins, and the two have often eaten and slept together since childhood, and their relationship has always been very deep. Fang Lin only has two daughters, and his wives and concubines have no children, which may be the most reassuring thing for the emperor about him.

After his father's death, Fang Lin inherited the title of Duke of Shou'en. Fang Lin was also in charge of tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards, and he had always only listened to His Majesty's orders.

The next day, the queen received Fang Lin's response, and after discussing with his wife, he agreed to marry his eldest daughter to the royal family and marry the third prince.

The queen was overjoyed and immediately made a decree to give marriage.

The eldest princess was very satisfied with the queen's actions, and it was more convenient to act after winning over the commander.

There were many discussions between the DPRK and China in private, and the discerning people saw that this marriage was an impure motive. When they saw that the left and right ministers, who were usually the most loyal to His Majesty, did not object, the ministers honestly shut up.

Feng Ling, who was playing with children in Zhaoyang Palace, said to the concubine Niangniang: "If Niangniang wants to recover well after giving birth, she should go to the suburbs to recuperate." ”

The concubine asked, "Where is the best place in the suburbs?"

"There is a hot spring in the royal annex, and if the mother raises there for a few months, her body will return to the appearance of a girl. ”

When the concubine heard this, she was a little moved: "When Your Majesty comes, the palace will mention it." Will Feng Ling go with him?"

Feng Ling said indifferently: "That depends on what Your Majesty means, Erchen is willing to follow Niangniang." ”

The concubine was overjoyed, if she took her sister and Feng Ling to the other courtyard together, the three of them would be able to touch the leaf cards every day.

After dinner, His Majesty came to Zhaoyang Palace to visit the concubine who was still in confinement. The mother said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, look at the concubine's body, she is not decently fat. Can you let the concubine go to the hot springs to recuperate for a few months?"

The emperor was reluctant to part with the concubine, he wanted to be with her for a long time, otherwise, he would not spend too much effort on alchemy.

But he thought about what might happen to the palace next, and felt that it would be good to let her out of the palace.

"It's okay, you go to recuperate for a few months, take Concubine Shu, and feel more relieved to have her by your side to take care of me. ”

"The concubine body still has to think about Feng Ling together, and the three of us can play the leaf card. ”

Feng Ling was a hostage, so he could only watch under his nose, and if the emperor objected, he agreed when he heard what the concubine said.

The emperor thought that now the crown prince and the prince of Zhenguo were still fighting against Ningguo, and they would not be able to come back for a while, so they would not pose a threat to him for the time being. Feng Ling accompanies the concubine, and it's not bad to make her happy.
