"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." As always, long live the mountain.

"Zhongqing, I have something to announce today." Zhu Qiyu gave Cao Jixiang a look.

"The secretary of the family takes the order." Cao Jixiang's shrill voice echoed above the Jinluan Palace. "Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said: Now the prince has the nature of confusion and impermanence, since the child's milk, so far Yizhang, I am afraid that he can not be Fengzong Temple, for the lord of the world. I have thought deeply, killed my relatives with righteousness, and now abolished the position of Prince Jianshen. I couldn't bear to be lonely and helpless, so I ordered the six ministries to give him the gift of the canonization of the prince and give him the title of "King Yi". The position of the crown prince will be decided again. Chin this. ”

"Waste Prince? How could the emperor depose the crown prince. ”

"What's wrong with the emperor?" The ministers talked a lot, but none of them dared to stand up and ask why the emperor suddenly deposed the crown prince.

"Your Majesty! The abolition of the crown prince is related to the foundation of the country! I think it must not be! Xu Qian glanced at the courtiers and was the first to raise objections.

"Yu Aiqing, I have made up my mind! What happened on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone already knows, Shen'er also knows his own fault, and he himself took the initiative to resign from the position of prince! Aiqing doesn't need to say much! ”

"Zhongqing, is there anything else? If you have nothing to do, you can retreat. Zhu Qiyu rolled up his sleeves and left in a hurry.

"Lord Yu, I think that it may not be a good thing for the prince to become the king of Yi at this time." Li Xian grabbed Yu Qian and said meaningfully.

"Oh? However, judging from the current situation of the prince, he is not the best candidate for the crown prince. Yu Qian said worriedly, this son of the world is willful and rude, he sees it in his eyes.

"Lord Yu, have you ever remembered that the heavens will descend on the Si people? His Royal Highness King Yi is not going to collapse. ”

"Master Li, the old man seems to think that you have to see the old man thoroughly!" Yu Qian listened to Li Xian's words and seemed to understand something.

Although it is the first month, the begonias in the Kunning Palace have grown buds, Queen Wang is wearing a moonlight printed brocade full of flowers, wearing a plain silver hairpin of mutton fat and white jade, and the whole person is lying on the chaise longue under the corridor with her eyes closed and pretending to sleep. As soon as Zhu Qiyu entered Kunning Palace, he saw this picture of a beautiful woman taking a nap, and the palace maid wanted to report to the queen, but Zhu Qiyu stretched out her hand to stop her.

Zhu Qiyu walked to Queen Wang's side, and Queen Wang felt that someone was in front of her, so she opened her eyes, "The emperor is here?" These slaves and maids are becoming more and more ignorant, and when the emperor comes, he doesn't know how to report it. Queen Wang helped Zhu Qiyu sit down.

"Queen, I won't let them report it. I just saw a picture of a beautiful woman's spring sleep. Zhu Qiyu looked at his demure queen with a smile.

The emperor laughed again. Queen Wang blushed unconsciously, and a touch of blush added a bit of spring.

"I'm here today to tell you something." Zhu Qiyu took Queen Wang's hand and sat Queen Wang down. Empress Wang took advantage of the situation and sat beside Zhu Qiyu.

"Queen, I have abolished the position of Prince Zhu Jianshen today." Zhu Qiyu looked at the queen, the woman who supported each other to this day with his young husband and wife. At this time, he just wanted to share his thoughts with her.

"Your Majesty? The abolition of the prince must not be. Does the emperor remember the oath he made when he ascended the throne that day? As soon as Queen Wang heard that Zhu Qiyu had abolished the crown prince, she knelt on the ground and prayed that Zhu Qiyu could take back her life.

"Queen! I had no choice but to do it. Zhu Qiyu watched Queen Wang kneel on the ground, and then persuaded her.

"The concubine asks the emperor to think twice, for the emperor's reputation, for the emperor's future, please think twice." Queen Wang fell deep on the ground and begged Zhu Qiyu.

"Queen!" Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but raise his voice, glanced at the stubborn Queen Wang, and his voice softened again, "I have made up my mind, the holy decree has been issued, I am here, just to tell the queen, and I hope the queen will do it herself." After speaking, Zhu Qiyu got up and walked out of Kunning Palace.

"Set up the Chuxiu Palace, and I will go to see the prince." Zhu Qiyu was upset by Queen Wang's blind stopping, once he thought that the most empathetic queen didn't understand his mind, just blindly stopped. He suddenly felt that it was necessary to tell Hang about this matter, and by the way, remind Hang that some small actions should not be done.

It is said that in Kunning Palace, after Zhu Qiyu left, the palace maid helped Queen Wang, who was lying on the ground, and Queen Wang leaned on the concubine couch and kept muttering something to herself. Yinlian saw that the queen had a quarrel with the emperor today, so she suggested that the queen go to the imperial garden to enjoy the scenery.

"Niangniang, a few days ago, Lord Yu entered a few koi, and the slave maid looked at Niangniang's spirit in recent days, and she was tired. Why don't you tease these koi fish, and you can also be in a good mood. ”

"Then let's go, this palace hasn't been out of the door of this Kunning Palace for a long time." Queen Wang stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples, "Don't ask people to follow, just take two people to wait, there are too many people to make a fuss." ”

"Yes, the slave will go and prepare."

It is the beginning of spring, and although the flowers in the Imperial Garden have not yet bloomed, they have all sprouted green buds lushly, which has a unique flavor. When Queen Wang arrived in the imperial garden, she met Tang Caiping who was also enjoying fish.

"The concubine sees the queen's mother." Tang Caiping is dressed in a fish play with roses and red brocade, wearing an eight-treasure red hairpin, and a flying fairy bun, with a pretty girl's appearance, and a real person is more delicate than flowers.

"Oh? Why is the Imperial Garden so lively today, Tang Shuyuan also came to enjoy the fish? ”

"But no, the concubine heard that Yu Qian entered two koi carp to the emperor during the Lantern Festival, and the weather is still warm today, and the concubine has been lazy for a long time, so she came to tease the fish, which can be regarded as moving her muscles and bones. Look, this fish is not very lively. As he spoke, the color screen handed the fish food to Queen Wang.

Queen Wang took the fish food handed by Tang Caiping and threw it into the pool, watching the koi fish come together and open their mouths to devour, she couldn't help laughing.

Tang Caiping looked at Queen Wang's appearance, and made a look behind him, Niu Yu retreated with someone in a knowing interest, and after a while, only Tang Caiping and Queen Wang were left in the entire imperial garden.

"Queen Mother, the concubine heard that the emperor decreed today that the crown prince of Xianyang Palace is gone, and he is the king of Yi?" Tang Caiping sprinkled a handful of fish food in the pool.

"Yes, the emperor told me today. Why did the good man suddenly abolish the prince? Queen Wang stopped sprinkling fish food and looked at the fish in a pool of fish frowning.

"Niangniang has heard of a strange thing?" Tang Caiping looked around, walked to Empress Wang's side, and quietly told Empress Wang, "The emperor didn't intend to abolish the crown prince, but Aunt Wan begged for it." ”

"What? Aunt Wan begged the emperor to abolish the prince? ”

"The concubine heard that the aunt of Xianyang Palace was puzzled by Queen Wang's face.

"yes. Niangniang, this is a deal that Aunt Wan made with the emperor at the cost of leaving the palace, so that the emperor abolished the crown prince. Tang Caiping looked at Queen Wang's face full of questions, and decided to add another dose of fierce medicine. The concubine heard that it was all because the Chuxiu Palace did something that should not be done on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The one in Chuxiu Palace was at the night banquet in the Taihe Hall that day, so he asked the imperial dining room to make poisonous puffer fish soup and send it to Xianyang Palace. As a result, King Yi and the Queen Mother were fine, and Wan Ruoxue's cat accidentally drank the soup and died. ”

Tang Caiping paused for a moment, and then said: "The next day, Aunt Wan went to ask for a holy decree from the emperor, abolished the crown prince, and made the emperor swear a poisonous oath to protect the king of Yi in this life. ”

When Queen Wang heard these words, her heart was already turbulent. "Queen Mother, this Aunt Wan threatened the emperor to swear poison on the grounds of leaving the palace, how could the emperor listen to her?" Tang Caiping also wanted to add a fire, but Queen Wang had already fallen into deep thought and couldn't listen to anything else.

"It's not too early at this hour, the palace will go back first, and Tang Shuyuan will go back early." After Queen Wang left, Tang Caiping looked at the fish competing in the pool alone. The fish still know that they are fighting for food, and in this harem, no matter how much they fight, it is just their nature.
