"So what did the queen see?" The emperor asked, slightly surprised in his heart that in just a short period of time, the queen will change so much.

"The concubine has seen through the shortness of life and should live in the present." The queen's calm smile made the emperor feel a lot of emotion in his heart, "When the Nine Emperor Princes were born, because of his love for Huang Lifei, the emperor already made him a new crown prince, and now his ability and performance have not disappointed the emperor, and he is also a good candidate for the crown prince, which makes the emperor want to make him the crown prince even more." ”

"The queen really understands me." The emperor smiled bitterly, sighed and said, "The establishment of the crown prince is a big deal, and it is not something that I can control. I am also powerless. Moreover, the Nine Emperor Princes are not the only ones who have the ability. ”

"If the emperor is worried about the eighth prince and the imperial concubine, then there is no need, the eighth prince has no intention of being the prince at all, let alone the emperor." Seeing the emperor's surprised and puzzled look, he explained lightly, "The concubine has already talked to the imperial concubine, and after knowing the thoughts of the eighth prince, the concubine will say what she just said to the emperor." Don't hesitate to make the emperor decide to make a decision immediately. ”

With the encouragement of the queen, the emperor didn't want to be so indecisive just now, nodded and said, "I know what to do, thank you, queen." ”

Once the decision was made, the emperor no longer procrastinated, and finally one morning, the queen followed the emperor into the main hall, sat down beside the emperor, and accepted the courtiers' bows.

"I already had a plan to make a prince before, and after several days of consideration, I have decided on the candidate for the prince, let's announce the decree." The emperor and the queen looked at each other as well, and said without smiling. The servant next to him immediately took out the holy decree that the emperor had prepared a long time ago and read it aloud.

There is no doubt that the position of the crown prince fell on Xuanyuan Hao's head, and this ending was also expected by many people. So when his name was mentioned in the holy decree, everyone just accepted it very calmly, and the only thing that could not be accepted was another candidate, Xuanyuan Mo.

"If there is no objection, the ceremony of making the prince will be held in three days." The emperor said calmly, and looked at Xuanyuan Hao with relief.

"Father, son is not convinced." Xuanyuan Mo suddenly stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "Erchen asked himself if he didn't belong to the Nine Emperor Princes, why did he choose the crown prince instead of Erchen, is it really as everyone said, my father made him the crown prince because he favored the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”

At this time, Xuanyuan Mo couldn't care about any courtesy of the monarch and ministers, he couldn't be the prince, and he would do things under Xuanyuan Hao in the future, and even kowtow to him in the future, which was undoubtedly a humiliation for Xuanyuan Mo.

"Presumptuous." When he was questioned by his son in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor also felt that he had no face, and looked at him angrily and said: "Although you have the ability, as the future prince of the Beiming Kingdom, you still lack a qualification and qualification. ”

"Please tell the emperor clearly!" Xuanyuan Mo still couldn't accept the emperor's words, and asked questions step by step.

"Your Majesty." The queen interrupted the emperor in time, looked at Xuanyuan Mo calmly and said, "Let this palace tell you why you are not qualified to be this prince and the future prince of Beiming Kingdom." ”

The queen stood up slowly, looked at Xuanyuan Mo with sharp eyes, he was a little uneasy to see, the queen slowly walked down the steps, came to him and walked around him, looking at him carefully.

"If the queen has something to say, just say it." Unable to stand the queen's scrutiny, Xuanyuan Mo urged the queen to speak.

"Just because you marry a princess of the Western Qi Kingdom, you will lose this qualification." The queen's words made everyone a little uproar and puzzled, and everyone didn't understand why the queen said this.

"Queen, it's a bit arbitrary for you to say that." Xuanyuan Mo didn't expect it to be because of Chu Wanwan, so he looked at the queen incredulously and asked, "Is it because I married a foreign princess that I can't be the prince?" Then in the father's harem, there are also many foreign concubines. ”

The emperor didn't expect Xuanyuan Mo to boldly accuse himself, and his whole body trembled with anger.

"If you marry a foreign woman, and you don't have any wrong thoughts, nothing happens, but you are not kind, then the Beiming Kingdom must not be handed over to you, a person with two hearts." The queen didn't talk nonsense anymore, took out a letter from her sleeve and threw it on Xuanyuan Mo's body, looked at him sternly and said: "You fornicate with the monarch of the Western Qi Kingdom, as long as he makes you the crown prince and the monarch of the Beiming Kingdom, you will give him three cities." ”

"You-" Xuanyuan Mo looked at the queen incredulously, he never thought that the queen would know about the transaction between him and Chu Yuze, at this time, he opened the letter with trembling hands and looked at the contents inside, and his whole face was dumbfounded.

"Originally, if you had been a little more self-contained and stopped messing around in this hall, I was ready to let you go once, but your aggressive attitude made it impossible for me to forgive you easily." The queen took the letter and turned around and sat down on her phoenix chair, and handed it to the emperor, and said with an expressionless face: "Your Majesty, the evidence of the crimes of the three princes is conclusive, and how to punish everything is up to the emperor to decide." ”

After reading the letter, the emperor was furious, and asked Xuanyuan Mo loudly: "What else do you have to say?" came, stripped the princely status of the three princes, demoted to commoners, and took back the prince's mansion. ”

There was an uproar in the court again, and Xuanyuan Mo looked at the emperor incredulously. wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but seeing the emperor's angry and indifferent expression, he couldn't say anything to beg for mercy, but he was still dragged down.

Three days later, Xuanyuan Hao was named the crown prince and accepted everyone's congratulations, but everyone did not expect that the emperor would make an amazing decision again, abdicate a month later, pass the throne to Xuanyuan Hao, and become the emperor himself.

Three days before ascending the throne, a major event occurred in the General's Mansion, the general Murong He wanted to accept Baoqing as a righteous daughter, and the emperor also specially ordered someone to send a congratulatory gift, and after the ceremony, Baoqing was no longer the maid of the Nine Emperors' Mansion, but the second lady of the General's Mansion. People in the capital are talking about why Murong He wants to accept a maid as a righteous daughter, but why is the reason, those who understand it naturally understand.

"I think there will be no reason for others to oppose you and Baoqing now." Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Jue walked out of the lively room and came to the quiet garden to chat.

"Nine Emperor Brothers, thank you." Xuanyuan Jue thanked gratefully, if it weren't for the help of Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji, Murong He would not have accepted Baoqing as a righteous daughter, then her identity would always be a maid, and she and she would never be together.

"Xuanji and I owe you so much favor, it's nothing at all." Xuanyuan Hao said with a smile, he remembered all the previous things, so he always wanted to do something for Xuanyuan Jue. "After I ascend the throne, I will decree the marriage of you and Baoqing."

Xuanyuan Jue looked at Xuanyuan Hao gratefully, but his eyes quickly dimmed, and he said helplessly: "Because of those scars, Baoqing has always felt that she is not perfect, although she accepted me, but she has always kept a distance from me, I think even if you order us to get married, in her heart, she will still feel inferior." ”

Xuanyuan Hao smiled mysteriously, but unfortunately Xuanyuan Jue didn't see it. Xuanyuan Hao patted Xuanyuan Jue's shoulder and said, "At this time, Baoqing should be waiting for you on the side of the rockery, you should hurry up and find her, she should have a lot to say to you." ”

Xuanyuan Jue glanced at Xuanyuan Hao suspiciously, and then hurried to the rockery to look for Baoqing, and sure enough, she saw Baoqing's figure among the many rockeries, and she had a faint sense of mystery with a veil.

"Baoqing." Xuanyuan Jue walked over and looked at her gently, "Brother Nine Emperor said that he would make an order to complete the marriage for us after he ascended the throne, are you happy?" Seeing that Baoqing was silent, he spoke again, "By the way, the Nine Emperor Brothers said that you have something to say to me, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Do you want to marry me?" Baoqing looked at Xuanyuan Jue with open eyes and asked.

"Yes, of course." Xuanyuan Jue said very firmly, but suddenly hesitated, "I know that you have some low self-esteem because of your scars, but I really don't mind, what I like is you, no matter what you become, I like you." ”

Baoqing nodded movingly, slowly pulled off his veil, saw Xuanyuan Jue's surprised look, and said with a smile: "What I want to tell you is that I am willing to marry you." ”

Hearing that Baoqing was finally willing to agree to marry him, Xuanyuan Jue hugged Baoqing tightly with excitement, and was speechless with emotion.

"It's great that the lovers are finally married." Murong Xuanji, who was peeking from a distance, said to Xuanyuan Hao movingly, "Baoqing has also found her happiness. ”

Xuanyuan Hao nodded with a smile, then took Murong Xuanji's hand and said, "Let's go, my child's mother, give this place to the Eighth Emperor Brother and Baoqing, I think they should have a lot to say at this time, so let's not bother." ”

"Yes, my child's father." Murong Xuanji smiled and nodded, holding hands and slowly leaving the garden, no matter what happened before, as long as there was each other by his side, it would be happy.

On the day of his accession to the throne, Xuanyuan Hao, who was wearing a yellow dragon robe, took Murong Xuanji, who became the queen, and walked up to the hall step by step, the two looked at each other and smiled, Murong Xuanji stroked his belly, and accepted everyone's bows with him.
