Where would the prince know that his mother would be so anxious to choose a concubine for herself, so when asked about her sweetheart, she was inevitably flustered and shy.

However, Lu Ruxue still saw some abnormalities in her son's expression. The heart sank, the son was precocious, could it be that he already had a sweetheart? Or the other party was not from a high background, so he was secretive and did not dare to say it.

"Ting'er, when the queen mother and your father first met, your grandfather was just a showman. Therefore, the queen mother will only judge her character by her temperament, and will not be determined by her background. ”

"If you already have someone you like in your heart, you don't have to scruple about it, you can talk to the queen mother. ”

Lu Ruxue took her son's hand and patted the back of his hand to calm his emotions.

The prince did not dare to look up into his mother's eyes, and the flickering in his eyes suddenly showed the uneasiness in his heart.

If you want to survive in this big palace, the prince has long learned that he only speaks three points when he sees people, and never shows a single heart.

But only when facing his mother, he can have no scruples. But since my mother gave birth to her younger brother, her health has not been as good as before. The prince will be worried, because he doesn't want his mother to worry about his own affairs, not because he deliberately hides it.

But seeing that his mother didn't give up until he reached his goal, and the prince didn't want to lie, he was in a dilemma, but he didn't dare to deceive his mother after all, and finally told the truth.

It turned out that as early as in Zhongjing, when the emperor was just named the crown prince, Emperor Wen invited the civil and military hundred palaces to set up a palace banquet to celebrate.

At that time, although the prince was young, because of his early wisdom, he once saw a little girl at a palace banquet. At that time, the girl's mother suddenly felt unwell and was ordered by the palace to go to a side hall to rest.

The girl guarded her mother inch by inch, shushing the cold and asking Nuan to serve tea and water, leaving a deep impression on the prince who inadvertently came to the side hall.

Afterwards, the prince inquired about the servants who accompanied him and learned that the girl was the eldest daughter of Jing'an Hou, Chen Yiran.

However, soon after that, the queen, who was still the crown princess, was demoted and rushed to Xiaoling. The prince only wanted to save his mother, so he never thought of the little girl again.

Until the queen came to Beijing and gave birth to the second prince. During the 100-day banquet of the second prince, the lady of the third grade or above in Beijing came to the palace to congratulate him.

Only then did the prince hear Chen Yiran's name again from Hu Ji's mouth. However, after inquiry, I learned that Mrs. Jing'an Hou had passed away three years ago.

Today's Mrs. Jing'an Hou is a mother who is valued by her son, and is raised by a noble concubine as a stepwife. For this reason, the emperor refused to issue an edict to entitle this stepwife as the lady of the decree.

Therefore, the prince could feel that his father didn't like this stepwife of Jing'anhou, and he didn't dare to tell his mother about the little caution he had when he was young.

Lu Ruxue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, it turned out that the person her son liked was the same person she thought, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"The queen mother does not hide from the court, yesterday the queen mother went out of the palace and unexpectedly saw the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an. This Miss Chen is different from customs, has a good nature, and the queen mother also likes it very much. ”

"That Jing'an Hou is not bad, and he has been stationed in the south all the year round, if you talk about his merits, he is no worse than the officials who report on their work in Beijing. ”

"This steplady in the house, although her character is not outstanding. However, the queen mother felt that with such a stepmother, if that Miss Chen could marry into the palace, she would devote herself to Wu'er, and there would be less fetters with her mother's house. ”

Lu Ruxue babbled a lot of pros and cons, and finally said, "Although these are the criteria for the queen mother to choose the crown princess, what makes the queen mother the most happy is that Ting'er and Miss Chen had a relationship as early as when they were young." ”

"Although time passes, people's hearts will always change. But it's a rare fate, so why not cherish it. ”

"Although the queen mother doesn't mind, the origin of the step-wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, but the father must not like it. The prince still has some concerns, afraid that he will embarrass his mother because of this.

What the prince said is true, among the few people pointed out by the emperor, there is no daughter of Jing'an Hou at all, and it is not unfounded that the prince is worried.

"The queen mother will try to persuade your father, Ting'er will go back to the East Palace first and wait for news. He asked his son about his homework again, and then sent the prince out of the middle palace.

After dinner, Lu Ruxue asked Mu Xuanyang about Jing'anhou. Mu Xuanyang had a very good impression of this person, but he didn't like the stepwife in his house.

Lu Ruxue told her what she saw yesterday one by one, without adding fuel and vinegar, without personal selfishness. and told the emperor what the prince said today.

"Xuanyang, you and I have been able to stay together for many years because we loved and admired each other back then. At this moment, Lu Ruxue is not the queen, and Mu Xuanyang is not the emperor, she took Mu Xuanyang's hand and rested her head on his shoulder.

"My husband has high hopes for Ting'er, but as Ting'er's mother, I just want him to find a woman he likes as his wife, and love each other for a lifetime like you and me. ”

If you talk about Chen Yiran's background, I don't know how much higher than Lu Ruxue at the beginning. The emperor is not dissatisfied with Jing'anhou.

So when his wife mentioned that year, the emperor also felt the same way. nodded, "Well, as long as Ting'er likes it, then the young lady of Jing'an Hou Mansion is also a good candidate." ”

"However, when this Miss Chen enters the palace, she is the crown princess. This stepwife of Jing'an Hou still has to be replaced. ”

Lu Ruxue also understood that with Mu Xuanyang's temper, even if he couldn't get used to it, he would deal with it as soon as possible. It seems that after the crown princess enters the palace, the stepwife of the Marquis of Jing'an will die of illness soon after.

These somewhat dirty methods, Mu Xuanyang rarely mentioned them in front of Lu Ruxue. But Lu Ruxue sat in the queen's seat, how could she not know.

It's just that she has always turned a deaf ear, and she doesn't want these things to distract her. As long as she knew that Mu Xuanyang would never use these methods against her and her children, then she didn't need to care.

She is not a virgin, and Mu Xuanyang, as the emperor, raises thousands of brocade guards, not to eradicate dissidents.

The prince waited left and right in the East Palace, but he didn't wait for news from his mother, thinking that his mother would not be able to convince his father, and he was even more afraid that his father would be annoyed with his mother because of this.

The next morning, after the morning, he came to the middle palace, wanting to persuade his mother not to force it, so as not to annoy his father. After all, everything at the beginning was just his young love, and he couldn't count it, and he didn't break his heart because of it.

But what she didn't want was that her mother had convinced her father. Even my father planned to give a marriage three days later.

"Queen Mother~!" Holding his mother's arm, the prince felt a little touched in his heart for a while.

As the emperor, my father is so strong in the court. He is the crown prince, how can he not know.

But my father never refused what my mother wanted. Even his son couldn't understand it.

"Ting'er, your father is a good father, and a good husband. The most fortunate thing in this life is that you can be loved by your father and the emperor. ”

Speaking of these, Lu Ruxue's face was full of happiness, she really felt it from the bottom of her heart, and she never regretted marrying Mu Xuanyang as his wife.
