The queen prince nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's all right, I'm just here to see you." ”

"Did the emperor say when the celebration banquet will be held?"

"My father said that while he still has the spirit, let me bring a message to my mother, and I will go and discuss with him tomorrow. The prince said: "The child looks at his father's meaning, and he wants to do it as soon as possible." ”

Empress Cao pondered slightly and said, "There are still a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, so if you want to get it together as soon as possible." Your father is not in good health, so it's better to have fewer banquets. ”

For Emperor Qinglong today, no matter what kind of banquet, it is just a burden to his body. But the crown prince had just returned, and he announced that he would replace Emperor Qinglong.

If he does not attend these necessary banquets, it will inevitably make people speculate and people's hearts will be unstable. This is a situation that Emperor Qinglong does not want to see.

If you want to prepare perfectly, it is more appropriate to set the celebration banquet after the New Year. However, it is even more important for the two to be combined into one, so that Emperor Qinglong can recuperate.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has to be held in the palace every year, and now it is just a link to reward the heroes. Although the time was rushed, it was not rushed.

The prince said "um" and said, "The child thinks the same way." ”

At present, his status is as stable as Mount Tai, and the longer Emperor Qinglong lives, the longer it means that he will be taught the art of ** king. The more stable the political situation, the smoother it will be when he ascends the throne.

At this time, Empress Cao said: "There is one more thing, the second daughter of the Anguo family, have you seen it?"

With the status of the national government, the court and others in the palace will not be left behind. See, you must have seen it. But the prince thought about it for a long time, and only had a vague impression in his mind.

He smiled, in fact, it didn't matter what she looked like, what mattered was who she was.

"What's the matter, the Shi family has also figured it out?" At this time, Empress Cao raised this matter, and it would never be for no reason. He couldn't think of any other reason than the Shi family wanting to burn him.

Empress Cao smiled: "What do you think?"

"Yes. ”

The support of one more government government means that his position is one more stable. He is still only the crown prince, not the emperor yet, and he is incapable of ignoring the allegiance of the Guogong Mansion.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he needs the loyalty of his subordinates.

The relationship between him and the crown princess is very strong, but his identity is destined to be impossible to be a couple with her for the rest of his life, and the Fang family also understands this.

Therefore, sooner or later, his harem will be full.

The relationship between the former dynasty and the harem is inextricably linked. If he makes good use of every concubine, his effect is tantamount to an elite soldier.

Because of the abolition of the crown princess, Emperor Qinglong devoted himself to the political affairs of the previous dynasty, resulting in the emptiness of the harem.

The king of the dignified emperor, the lord of Gaomang, and the number of names in the harem are only one queen and two concubines. Even the position of the fourth concubine is not satisfied, not to mention the nine concubines below.

The prince felt that this was too tiring. If a mere concubine can be exchanged for the loyalty of a national government, why not?

Empress Cao looked at him appreciatively, her son became more and more mature and steady, and his words and deeds were getting closer and closer to the king of a country. As an emperor, interests come first, and feelings come second.

"In that case, at the celebration feast, I will let her sit beside me. ”

As the mother of a country, who else has this qualification except for the emperor around her? In this way, making an exception can make everyone at the banquet understand, and the will to give marriage will become logical.

It's just that she still needs to inform Emperor Qinglong about this matter in advance.

For decades, the emperor and queen have figured out each other's preferences and taboos.

"You hurry back and rest, you have to get up early tomorrow. Empress Cao touched the prince's stubble cheek distressedly. When he returned from the Northlands, the prince's face was weathered.

The crown prince knew in his heart that tomorrow would be the first time he would appear in front of the civil and military officials as a substitute for Emperor Qinglong. This debut is naturally not to be taken lightly.

He nodded, stopped dragging mud and water, and stepped back.

After the prince left, Changle Palace returned to its usual desertion.

The night was already very deep, and Queen Cao looked at the exquisitely decorated courtyard outside, only to feel that her heart was empty as if a hole had been broken, and the cold wind was swishing inside.

The children have grown up, each has a plan, and she no longer needs to be careful about everything for them.

When the crown prince returned to the house, the crown princess was in charge of him, and in the Xuanzheng Palace, Emperor Qinglong was accompanied by Jiang Bingwei. And what about yourself?

Empress Cao hugged her arms tightly, and her gaze fell on her nails that had been dyed with Kodan.

Her life is like this beautiful nail. It looks gorgeous, but the inside is empty without temperature, without anything, and can be cut off and discarded at any time.

On such a night, the figure of a teenager unexpectedly flashed in her mind.

If, if life can be repeated, if it is to spend a lifetime hand in hand with him. At her current age, she must not be so lonely, right?

Empress Cao shook her head self-deprecatingly, where is the if?

If you lose him, you should have borne the consequences.

……

In Luoyang City, the carnival night is coming to an end and gradually ending.

A few stars hung in the sky, casting a layer of hazy starlight on this majestic city. Wu Zhengxiang took Xu Wanzhen's hand and strolled through the streets.

From time to time, there are drunks clapping their swords and shouting wildly, and there are groups of teenagers, wantonly swaying their youth and singing loudly.

Wu Zhengxiang's left hand was holding a pot of Western Regions wine, and his right hand was holding Xu Wanzhen. Her cheeks were red and her gait was slightly drunk, as she had drunk the wine. Looking at Wu Zhengxiang, he smirked a few times from time to time.

Wen Mulan followed them from a distance, looking at the figure of the two holding hands side by side, she suddenly thought of Fengqi. He said that he wanted to marry himself, said that he didn't care about all the past, maybe, he should try?

Wu Zhengxiang hadn't seen her drunk yet, and Xu Wanzhen, who was so drunk, made him laugh very much.

There was a voice deep in his heart, telling him that Xu Wanzhen was the most real her. In the past, she was wrapped in rules and etiquette, and occasionally she could glimpse a trace of her true temperament, but she immediately shrank back so that he couldn't touch it.

Seeing that there was no one on the street, he picked up her body and flew towards the Chung Kook Mansion with his skills.

Wen Mulan, who was following behind, only felt that in a wrong eye, the two people in front of her had disappeared, leaving only the silk satin that was swept up by the wind on the street, and slowly fell to the ground.

She stomped her foot, put her internal strength on her tiptoes, and galloped away in the footsteps of the two.

The drunk, who had staggered through the streets, was blown by the strong wind they had brought together, spun around and sat down on the ground with a puff, and fell asleep.

"Wanzhen. ”

After entering Zhiyuanju, Wu Zhengxiang softly called her in his arms.

Maybe his arms were too warm and comfortable, Xu Wanzhen grabbed his clothes and fell asleep.
