"The reason why Your Majesty is young is actually for you." Yuan Ziyan blinked his eyes, trying to make himself look innocent and honest.

"How?" Empress Xiao was still unwavering, but judging from her suddenly trembling eyebrows, she was already moved.

"Don't hide it from the queen, in fact, Your Majesty is very fond of the two excellent princes. But from the perspective of filial piety alone, His Majesty still feels that the third prince is more intimate with you. Therefore, when you were in danger, you also personally instructed the slave maid to let the slave and maid take the three princes back to the palace to rely on you. Yuan Ziyan lowered his head and said, knowing that this reason did not seem so convincing.

Sure enough, Empress Xiao frowned, and when she said it, she still didn't say anything moving, Yuan Ziyan said again: "At the same time, Your Majesty is also doing this for the good of the second prince, he said that the second prince is most like him when he was young, but if he is a general in his life, he will definitely leave a legacy in the annals of history, and he will be free and unrestrained all his life." And if you become an emperor, it is not the best choice. His Majesty said that he was not only an emperor, but also a father, and his descendants Antai was his greatest hope. ”

Empress Xiao was silent, Yuan Ziyan's words still sounded like that. She also knows Yang Jun's temperament, she is more than smart, but she is not benevolent enough, so since the death of her eldest son, she has not been made the prince.

If Gao'er is made the crown prince, he will definitely protect his brother's wealth and wealth all his life, but Yan'er is ruthless, if he ascends the throne as the emperor, after a hundred years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to tolerate this younger brother who has threatened his throne in his eyes.

Although there is a difference between relatives and relatives, they are all children raised by themselves, and Queen Xiao definitely does not want to see the day when brothers kill each other.

Yuan Ziyan secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Empress Xiao, feeling that she was not so strong, and said sensationally: "Your Majesty also said that the two children are his flesh and blood, and they are also yours." After all, Xiao Guifei passed away, and these three princes were born to recognize you as only one queen mother, and you are the only queen mother of the Great Sui no matter what. And the third prince has a pure and filial temperament, and if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will definitely take care of his brothers and sisters. Of course, this is just some of His Majesty's thoughts at that critical moment, in fact, His Majesty has not really made a good idea yet, so he will wait to return to the palace and discuss it with you. ”

Empress Xiao finally showed a smile, and said, such a big thing as the crown prince, of course Your Majesty has to explain to herself in advance, Queen Xiao still said with a straight face: "Your Majesty has a long life, this palace is willing to walk in front of him, and only be his queen all his life, why do you say that the queen mother said?" ”

"Hehe, wasn't it an emergency at that time!"

Empress Xiao's anger subsided a lot, and she asked again: "Since Your Majesty asked you to come to Yong'an Palace yesterday to explain the reason for Xu Tingfu's case, why did you come so late?" Could it be that relying on Your Majesty's favor, there is no queen in your eyes? ”

"Back to the mother's words, how dare the slave and maid delay in front of you, one served His Majesty yesterday, and the slave maid also made a gift overnight, and wanted to give it to you when I came today, but unfortunately it backfired, the time was too urgent, only half of it was done, and it could only be sent another day." Yuan Ziyan said nonsense, because she was anxious to go back, and then said this. After saying that, she regretted it, how could she have a gift that could make the queen tempting, get an ordinary treasure, the queen couldn't see it, but it was self-defeating.

"Oh? Do you have any gifts for Hongu? What is it? "Empress Xiao is a little interested.

"Confidential!" Yuan Ziyan couldn't think of a rhetoric, so he could only answer first.

Empress Xiao sneered, thinking that there was nothing to move her heart, maybe it was still Yuan Ziyan's perfunctory words, and said provocatively: "Okay, it's not too late to send it tomorrow, this palace wants to see if your mind is really as clever as the outside world rumores?" ”

"Hehe, I don't dare to be, but I beg my mother to like it!" Yuan Ziyan's sweat is about to come out, and Queen Xiao is also an old fox, and she wants to test her sincerity.

Looking at Yuan Ziyan's embarrassed appearance, Queen Xiao sneered again, guessing that this girl was mostly lying. However, Yuan Ziyan is a favored palace maid by His Majesty's side, and she can't be taken lightly, so she casually asked a few words about Xu Tingfu.

It was basically the same as what she had heard before, and then she finally opened her mouth to let Yuan Ziyan go back.

After that, Empress Xiao sent someone to immediately investigate Xu Tingfu's case, and no details could be missed, and they must be investigated. Killing a concubine is nothing, but if someone dares to do black things to the people around the saint at will, no matter who is involved, she will not tolerate it.

Besides, Yuan Ziyan, after thanking him, trotted all the way out of Yong'an Palace, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief. Although she survived the catastrophe safely, in Yuan Ziyan's opinion, Empress Xiao was very wary of herself.

In addition to the jealousy between women before, there is now the worry of Lichu. Since the emperor can talk to Yuan Ziyan about so many issues of establishing a prince, then the opposite side can also prove that Yuan Ziyan's opinion may still affect the emperor.

In short, take one step at a time, it's useless to think so much now.

After going back, Yuan Ziyan had a full dinner, and then someone came to spread that the emperor had summoned him. Yuan Ziyan didn't dare to pause, wiped his mouth and hurried over.

Yang Guang was reading a book, with a leisurely expression, and when he saw Yuan Ziyan coming back, he put the book aside, and asked with a smile: "You girl is also rampant, you dare to sleep in the emperor's ** for several hours, and if you are an ordinary person, you don't know how many times you have been killed." ”

"Then please ask Your Majesty to punish you." Yuan Ziyan didn't explain, and stuck out her tongue playfully. In her opinion, if an emperor can't even distinguish between right and wrong, he can't even deserve the title of faint monarch, and he is clearly a fool.

Sure enough, Yang Guang was not annoyed, and it could be easily judged from Yuan Ziyan's expression that the queen did not embarrass her too much, presumably everything was going well.

So Yang Guang put his mind at ease, beckoned Yuan Ziyan to step forward, and said seriously: "Ziyan, since the attack on Yanmen, I feel that the world is unpredictable, and I want to rebuild Si Tianjian, what do you think?" ”

"What are you kidding, you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want, why do you still ask me?" Yuan Ziyan was confused, "Besides, it's not uncommon for all dynasties to have institutions in this regard!" ”

Yang Guang frowned slightly, and said: "Having said that, it is difficult for the successive Si Tianling to make great achievements, and they always cover up some ambiguous things, and then they are just flattering and flattering to cover up, and they have no achievements. ”

"Actually, it's no wonder that the work of this heavenly prison is not easy to do, it's hard to say, whoever deserves to die, where there is a disaster, if you don't get right, you will lose your head. But if you say good things, you won't offend people, and it's the same with me. Yuan Ziyan said with a grin.

Unexpectedly, Yang Guangguang glanced at Yuan Ziyan meaningfully, "If you were to do this, you would definitely not do this." ”

"Well, thank you big brother for lifting up." Yuan Ziyan arched his hand and said: "But I think that the fortune of a person or a country still has a lot to do with accumulation. Let's take people as an analogy, persist in learning for a long time, be humble to people and things, and accumulate more virtues, of course, you will live longer. ”

"Good people don't necessarily live long, and many good people die young." Yang Guang said a little pessimistically.

"A hundred years is a long time relative to human beings, but for history, many years are short. No matter how long you live, you can be remembered, and being praised by future generations is not in vain. Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

"But if the Great Sui is defeated at my hands, it must be the harshest punishment that God has given me." Yang Guang said suddenly, Yuan Ziyan's heart trembled, but then he covered up the past and smiled disapprovingly: "Of course, it is good to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but now taking care of your body is the most important thing." There's an old saying you haven't heard of, and that's that the body is the capital of the revolution. ”

Yang Guang pondered Yuan Ziyan's words carefully, and couldn't help laughing, it sounded very reasonable.

Developing a regular routine is very important for a patient, but since returning from Yanmen, Yang Guang has taken more than three times more medicinal powder than before, resulting in being too excited at night and unable to sleep, and drowsy and confused during the day.

Serving Yang Guang drank a bowl of soothing soup, and finally fell asleep, Yuan Ziyan returned to his room, but he was worried about one thing again. That was the gift promised to the Empress.

Hey, look at my broken mouth, I chose such a reason at a critical time. Who is the queen, the emperor's daughter-in-law, the world belongs to the two of them, all the most precious and rare treasures have been sent to the palace, except for the elixir of immortality, the queen is definitely not rare.

Hey, if you just take a gift to deal with it, the queen must feel that she is not sincere, and it should be easy to find an excuse to kill herself.

What should I give? What can I do with this little bit of family background? I knew this, I shouldn't have broken Zhou Shanshan's broken beads in the first place, but it was a good thing to be serious.

Yuan Ziyan fiddled with the handkerchief, knowing that cranky thinking would definitely not solve the problem, and he had to start from the root of the problem, and it was best to meet the queen's wishes.

Obviously, for the queen, what she is looking forward to the most is of course the emperor's company, which is the most normal need of every normal woman. However, one is that Yang Guang is not in good health, and he is afraid of revealing flaws in the queen, and the other is the old husband and wife, although Queen Xiao is well maintained, it is still different from the actual young concubines who are newly attacked, and men are all attentive, and they are not willing to gnaw the roots of old trees anymore when they are used to eating tender grass.

Yuan Ziyan was so worried that she walked around the house with her hands behind her back, feeling that Empress Xiao had not been favored in recent years, or because she didn't have too many new tricks, such as hairstyles, service, etc., there were no new tricks, and she couldn't arouse the emperor's interest. Another one, she is also too short, although she is also an S-shaped body, but the altitude is too low, which affects the overall proportion.

Of course, it is not excluded that she holds the queen's shelf all day long, and she doesn't understand the mood at all. Who likes a well-behaved wooden man!

Thinking of this, Yuan Ziyan slapped his head, laughed, and thought of two gifts at once, ensuring that Queen Xiao would be happy.
