Two days later

"Niangniang, this is sent by the Prime Minister. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Apricot carefully took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Queen Liu.

Empress Liu took it, opened the letter, and after reading it for a while, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Father has already done this well." ”

"The emperor has arrived. As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the eunuch sounded outside the hall.

Empress Liu quickly put the letter in her hand into her sleeve, and was about to get up and salute, when Emperor Yan had already walked in front of her and said, "The queen doesn't need to be polite. ”

With that, he sat down on the soft couch.

"Why is the emperor here?" asked Empress Liu as she sat down and smiled brightly.

"I haven't come to see Hao'er for a long time, and I happen to have time to come and see him today. By the way, what about Hao'er?"

"Hao'er is playing in the apse, and the concubine asked him to come over, if he knows that the emperor is coming, he will be very happy. Queen Liu replied and nodded to Xing'er, who slowly retreated.

……

"Father, father. After a while, the shouts of the great prince sounded outside the hall.

Before anyone saw it, they heard it.

"Father. The eldest prince hurriedly ran into the hall, and as soon as he saw Emperor Yan, he pounced on him and shouted happily.

"Hao'er, don't be rude, don't hurry up and salute your father. Queen Liu said with a glare, but her eyes were full of doting.

"No need. Emperor Yan waved his hand, then picked up the eldest prince, checked it, put him down, and said with a smile: "Come, I see, I have grown a lot taller." ”

"Father, the queen mother said that the sons and daughters are growing up fast. The eldest prince responded sweetly, looking at Emperor Yan with an excited face.

"Well, it's really grown taller, I haven't been here for a few days, and I almost can't recognize it. Emperor Yan touched his head and said happily.

"Father, you haven't come to see your son's ministers for a long time, and your sons think about you every day. The eldest prince pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly.

"Didn't my father come to see you?"

Empress Liu smiled and watched Emperor Yan and the eldest prince talking, and after a while, she beckoned to the eldest prince and said, "Hao'er, come and take a look at the queen mother." ”

"The Queen Mother. The eldest prince walked over and shouted.

"Well, look at you, you're such a big person, why don't you pay attention to it, your face is sweaty, what if you will stain your father and the emperor?" said Empress Liu as she took out her handkerchief and lovingly wiped the sweat on the eldest prince's face.

"Boys, it's better to be lively and go out to exercise more, which is good for exercise. When Hao'er is older, I will personally teach him to ride and shoot. Emperor Yan turned his head and said with a smile.

"Really? Father is not allowed to deceive people. The eldest prince was interested when he heard this, and looked at Emperor Yan, one eye shining like a firefly in the dark.

"I mean what I say. Emperor Yan nodded.

"Great. The Great Prince cheered.

Queen Liu looked at his happy appearance and shook her head helplessly.

……

"Okay, Hao'er, you go out with the palace people first, my father has something to say to your mother. After chatting in the room for a while, Emperor Yan said to the eldest prince.

"Good. The eldest prince answered happily and walked out obediently.

"I can see that Hao'er's temper is much milder than before, and you have worked hard during this time, and your teaching has been meritorious. Emperor Yan looked at the back of the eldest prince going out and said with a smile.

Empress Liu lowered her eyes, knowing the meaning of Emperor Yan's words, and responded with a light smile: "Some time ago, Hao'er was ignorant and did a lot of wrong things, and the concubine specially found the palace to teach him the rules, and he himself realized his mistakes, so now there are a lot of rules." These days, the emperor is worried about him. ”

Emperor Yan retracted his gaze and looked at Empress Liu with a smile without saying a word.

After Empress Liu came into contact with Emperor Yan's gaze, she was stunned and smiled at him.

"The queen's face has been much better than before, and it seems that it has been effective to let people from Ghost Valley come into the palace to recuperate for you a few days ago. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've spoken to you seriously. Emperor Yan looked at Empress Liu seriously and said.

When I saw this, I was stunned.

When Queen Liu heard this, she lowered her head and fell into deep thought, her eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and after a while, they were completely dimmed.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at Emperor Yan and called in a low voice: "Your Majesty." ”

In a word, full of endless sighs and amazement, the low mood is clear on the face.

Emperor Yan came back to his senses, looked at Queen Liu and smiled lightly, but sighed leisurely in his heart.

It turns out that everything is really wrong.

"I came today, not only to see Hao'er, but also to talk to you about Yao'er again. Emperor Yan said loudly.

This sound woke up Queen Liu.

The eyes that were originally full of thoughts became clear in an instant, and they seemed to be plain and unwavering, but they were a little more lonely.

"Is there already a candidate in the emperor's heart?" asked Empress Liu with a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"I want to ask your opinion, this morning, I mentioned this matter, but the minister of the court has a lot of complaints about Yao'er's affairs, saying that although Yao'er is the prince, he has a close relationship with the Su family, and the position of the person who raised him should not be too high, otherwise the rules will be broken. I also think it makes sense, so I want to ask if you have a candidate in mind?"

"After thinking about it, I felt that I could implement Yao'er's matter on Hao'er's birthday. Two things put together to add to the festivity. What does the queen think?"

"The concubines have no opinions, everything is up to the emperor. Queen Liu replied with a smile.

"Hmm. Emperor Yan nodded, and then asked, "In the past few days, has the queen considered the candidate to raise Yao'er?" If you have an idea in your heart, you can say it and discuss it with me. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines think that Yue Xiu is a good candidate. Queen Liu replied.

"Oh, why did the Empress say that?" Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The concubines felt that what those ministers said had some truth, the three princes had a close relationship with the Su family, and the Su family committed a capital crime back then, and it was the emperor who opened the net, so he did not condemn the three princes who were still in the womb. But the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee still have a lot of complaints, and it is not unreasonable that the concubines who raised the three princes should not be too high. ”

After a pause, Queen Liu continued: "The reason why the concubine thinks that Yue Xiu is suitable is that her position is not high, but it is not low, and after the gate, if she is asked to raise the three princes, it will not be regarded as wronging the three princes." Second, although Yue Xiurong is behind the general, but the Duke of Yue and General Yue have both passed away, and she does not have the support of strong family forces, even if she is a concubine in the future, she can block the mouth of the ministers of the court. ”

"Besides, the concubine heard that the third prince likes to be close to Yue Xiurong the most in the harem, and if Yue Xiurong raises him, he will definitely be happy. And the concubine believes that Yue Xiurong can teach Yao'er well. ”

Speaking of the third prince, he can also be called a criminal minister, and when he grows up in the future and knows about the Su family, he will definitely try his best to avenge the grievances of the Su family, at that time, if there is a strong family force to support him, it may cause chaos in the court, and it will be more serious, if he has a strange mind, today's decision will inevitably bury trouble.

This point is not only worried by the ministers of the DPRK and China, but also by Empress Liu.

Emperor Yan naturally understands this truth.
