The queen is pregnant, so it has naturally become the top priority in the palace. There was an endless stream of people who came to Jing'an Palace to congratulate him for several days, and Yu Hao was also ecstatic because of his middle-aged child, after all, such a happy event had not happened in the palace for many years. Although he frequently came to visit Yuyan, when the two faced each other, they always had their own thoughts. In fact, the love between husband and wife has long been gone, but they have to gossip as before.

Regarding Concubine Zhao, Yu Hao has never apologized to Yuyan. Even if her charges were settled because of the sudden arrival of this child, Yu Yan knew that the emperor might not be unguarded against her. This notoriety of coveting power may have been crowned on his head long ago. The most obvious is that Yu Hao began to deliberately alienate Yongtai, who was elected as the crown prince by the ministers.

The night is as cool as water.

The moonlight outside the hall was clear, and the mottled silver light sprinkled on the light red window lattice, and it was broken into all kinds of light points that penetrated into the room. Yu Yan only placed a delicate oil lamp in her hand, and with the faint light, she pruned a few pink Ruixiang flowers in the celadon beauty. Su E handed the scissors to the side, looked at the bouquet with a smile and said: "Ruixiang is an inconspicuous flower, let the mother prune it, but it is also unique." ”

Yu Yan's eyes moved slightly, and the smile on his face was like a bright moon: "No matter how inconspicuous things are, if they are used, they will also stand out." This is true of flowers, and so are people. ”

"When the mother found out that the book was missing, she immediately thought of countermeasures, otherwise she would ......" Su E's eyes were slightly cold, which did not match the soft moon Ruixiang, "It's just that the cane killed the hoof that eats inside and out, it's really cheap for her." ”

"The emperor is not unwary of this palace, even so, it is not easy to degrade Concubine Zhao as a concubine." Yu Yan lowered her eyes slightly, brushed the golden flower silk in her hand and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that she would dare to put eyeliner around Bengong, but Bengong underestimated her guts." Yu Yan said, unconsciously stroking his lower abdomen, which had not yet shown traces, and the meaning in his tone eased, "This time, thanks to the child in his womb, he helped Bengong once before he was born." ”

Seeing this, Su E also smiled: "Niangniang Ji is a natural person, and she can always turn danger into a disaster." What's more, Niangniang still has the second prince, if the emperor really listens to Concubine Zhao's provocation, he will not sit idly by. ”

When it came to Yongtai, Yuyan sighed faintly, silently looking at the flowers and shadows outside the window. After all, the night in early spring was still a little cool, she took the stove and gently covered it on her lower abdomen, and said slowly: "That kid cares too much about fame, and sometimes people feel that he is the same as the emperor, and he can't be relied on." A while ago, the emperor also mentioned that he wanted to find a wife for him, but Bengong felt that it would be good to sink that kind of temperament for a few more years. ”

Su E knew that she was a little sad when she remembered the old things. The woman's body was slightly thin under the golden red clothes, and she leaned quietly on the goose down cushion, as if she would be tired and fall asleep at any time.

"Actually, this is also a good thing, which shows that the emperor is interested in the second prince. Now that the dispute between the crown princes is intensifying, the ministers should also know which side to stand on. ”

However, although Su E was silent, both of them knew that the more Yongtai showed great ambition, the more the emperor would think twice. Originally, there was a saying in the court that "the son is young and the mother is strong, and it is not suitable to be a prince", but now Yu Yangui is the queen, and there are a pair of children under her knees, and when the power is overwhelming, this voice of protest is getting stronger and stronger. It's Ning Shuyuan, who doesn't care about the affairs of the palace, Yongxi is the eldest son and is very smart, so it seems that he is the best candidate for Lichu. I also heard that Yu Hao was going to invite two other cabinet scholars for him in the next few days, although it was called a companion to study and teach, but in fact it was a symbol of the emperor's deviation.

Although Yuyan didn't want Yongtai to get involved in the battle for the heir, since he had already identified this path, as a mother, she had to plan for him everywhere. And in such a silent contest, she and Ning Shuyuan have gradually become a fire and water trend, although they are not tense, but in the end, they are on their own side.

When Yongtai saw the emperor again, it was around the Midyear Festival. On that day, Yu Yan wanted to go to Xuanhua Hall to discuss the palace affairs with the Son of Heaven, but happened to meet Yongtai who came back from the study, and he said that he had not been summoned recently, so he begged Yu Yan to take him to greet him. Yu Yan couldn't resist him, so he had to share a sedan chair with him to Xuanhua Palace.

Dong Bi had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, and when he saw Yongtai Tong, he was stunned at first, then bowed forward, and said with a smile: "I have seen the queen mother, and I have seen the second prince." ”

Yu Yan raised her chin and smiled gently, "Is the emperor inside?" ”

"It's ......" Dong Bi glanced at the man beside him, and lowered his voice, "It's just that the eldest prince is also there." ”

When Yongtai heard this, his expression turned cold in an instant, and he was about to speak, but Yuyan had already pressed his arm and glanced at him lightly: "Then bother my father-in-law to inform us." ”

didn't wait long, Dong Bi came to the emperor's will. The two of them walked into the palace and saw that Yongxi was also by the emperor's side. He was only wearing a blue and white robe, and a Hetian Baoyu that fell from his waist faintly showed his noble identity. Yongxi's eyebrows followed Ning Shuyuan more, gentle and not aggressive. Just standing there, there is the elegant demeanor of a young man. Seeing Yuyan, he also respectfully bowed and said, "I've seen the queen mother." ”

Although Yongtai was unhappy in his heart, he also knew that he didn't like to be in shape, and when he entered the hall, he had already changed his warm smile, and said generously: "I have seen my father, the emperor's brother." ”

"I haven't seen you in a few days." Yu Hao had a faint smile on his face, and seemed to unintentionally sweep the woman on the side, "Come here with your queen mother today to say goodbye." ”

Yongtai missed the emperor in his heart, but he didn't dare to come to disturb him, so he begged his concubine to bring him over. Regarding the deep meaning in the man's eyes, Yu Yan pretended not to see it, and only responded politely. When Yu Hao heard this, his expression eased slightly, so he took a sip of the white porcelain tea cup and moistened his throat and said, "I've been busy with political affairs recently, and I haven't taken much care of you." You should have heard about the Jiangyan embankment. ”

The matter mentioned by Yu Hao caused a lot of trouble in the DPRK and China. Although Yuyan is in the harem and no longer asks too much about politics, there are many concubines whose family members are officials in the court, and in the gossip, they also understand the approximation. The governor of Zhejiang, Chong He Lian, was originally a very skillful person, and during his tenure, he twice overhauled the river embankment, and the effect was transcendent. It's just that this time he was privately bribed by ginseng, and the appointment of Xiu Ti was also mentioned to the court for further discussion.

Yu Hao lit the table and said thoughtfully: "Since you are also here, tell me what you think." ”

Seeing that they wanted to discuss politics, Yu Yan picked up a corner and sat down, and slowly picked up the dried apricots on the plate and ate them. The Ziying tassel that fell from the cloud bun hit her forehead in pieces, covering her narrow and shrewd phoenix eyes. The emperor asked Yongxi to negotiate such an important matter, which also shows that the rumors that he wants Yongxi to govern are not groundless.
