The crown prince got up timidly, looked at the person in his father's arms, knelt down, and bit his white lip, "The queen mother is angry, and the sons and daughters don't dare anymore." ”

Hua Nong didn't speak, Li Yu looked him up and down, frowning slightly, "Why are you wet?" ”

The prince lowered his head, "When I was holding the tea, I didn't hold my hand. ”

Li Yu waved his hand impatiently, "Go down." ”

"Yes, the retainers are retired." The prince bowed cautiously and walked out under the guidance of the eunuch.

The hall was empty, Li Yu let go of the hands holding Hua Nong, and looked at her with deep eyes, "It's just a child, what else do you want?" ”

Hua Nong was stunned and chuckled, "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Li Yu looked at her meaningfully, "I think I treat you well, you can hold everything and send it up, but you disdain it everywhere, and now you have paid attention to the prince, today's matter, if it weren't for me, how long would you want to make trouble?" Could it be that you really want to pay for your life? Or do you remember something? ”

Hua Nong smiled sadly, "It turns out that the emperor is blaming me for blaming the prince, yes, I can't see them happy, but I think more about myself." ”

As he spoke, the hand on his lower abdomen stroked slowly, like stroking a treasure, and said slowly: "The emperor gave me a lot, but after all, the years are unforgiving, if you can't wait for the emperor to go first, I will take a step first, then the prince will eventually take out the mother in the cold palace, and then my child will be a fish on the chopping board, and let others slaughter." ”

Li Yu was obviously stunned, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and gently hugged Hua Nong in his arms, "No, you won't go before me." ”

Hua Nong gently broke away, "No matter who goes first, my child will not survive after all." ”

Li Yu's hands trembled, and the words seemed to stimulate him, and his answer was a little dry, "He will live well." ”

"Unless he becomes the crown prince," Hua Nong looked at Li Yu intently, saying this sentence so indifferently that it could change the pattern, she firmly believed that he would agree.

Li Yu's face stiffened slightly, and there was a slight shock in his eyes, which flashed again.

In order to protect herself, she once asked herself for the position of queen that would be given to her sooner or later, and in the face of the world's disapproval, she arranged smooth sailing for her, just waiting for her to join hands with him in the world.

Now in order to protect their children, she asked for the crown prince, she knew that he would not refuse, so she still wanted it.

Because the emperor of that year, for the first time, asked himself for the position of queen, so cautiously testing himself, at that time he thought that she would stay by his side forever, unwilling to risk her, and resolutely refused.

The result is the geometry of life and death, and after several hardships and lovesickness and remorse, he finally sent a Hua Nong to him.

He could not refuse every request she made, for he was afraid that she would not please any of them, and he would abandon him.

"Okay, when the child is born, I will make him the crown prince and inherit my throne." Li Yu said dryly.

Hua Nong smiled and showed a rare smile, "Okay, the emperor can talk about it, if it's a princess, forget it, if it's a prince, he will definitely be a prince." ”

"Okay." Li Yu touched her head and pulled a smile, but Hua Nong gently dodged it.

Li Yu's stiff hand was in the air, and Hua Nong smiled softly, "The emperor must be extremely tired these days, why don't you go to Concubine Lin to take a rest?" ”

Li Yu's face was cold, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Hua Nong still has a look that is not sweet or light, "I just feel that the concubine is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to serve the emperor, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the emperor to say, outsiders will say that the queen of the palace is incompetent, this time I thought of a way, the emperor is in the harem, and the concubines are all serving the emperor." ”

Li Yu gasped, and his tone became cold, "It's rare for the queen to be so empathetic and have a heart." ”

After speaking, his eyes no longer had the gentle and soft color of Fang Cai, and he brushed his sleeves away.

Hua Nong closed his eyes and chuckled, Finally, Emperor Zhou E, the patience that you have consumed on you for the last bit of his swear to death is also exhausted.

But Chongguang, you are not disappointed in me, how can I be so cruel to hate you?

It was getting dusk, and the old elder who pulled the shadows of the trees in the palace was like an old man with an old dragon clock, stumbling there, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.

The dark green pavilion is full of green and turquoise, and the lake water pushes a little phosphorescence to meet you.

"Niangniang, Concubine Lin has arrived."

Hai Rong came into the small pavilion and looked at the queen who was sitting there leisurely and laughing with Concubine Ning, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, what does this queen want to do, make the emperor angry in the study, is it possible that she really wants to give up her favor?

Hua Nong heard the voice, looked at the beads standing respectfully below, turned his head and smiled at Concubine Ning, "Look, I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived." ”

"Let her in."

Liuzhu got the order, and immediately stepped forward respectfully, she didn't know what happened to this queen suddenly looking for her, I heard that it was because the prince and the emperor quarreled, but she couldn't figure out the situation, the emperor loved her in a thousand ways, how could she be ruthless.

"The slave concubine Yu Liuzhu has seen the queen mother, and she has seen the concubine Ning." Liuzhu knelt down on her knees and bowed to the ground respectfully, thinking that she had done nothing wrong, and she could no longer be humiliated by Hua Nong because of the last time she called the last thing.

Concubine Ning didn't look at the people on the ground, and turned her face to look at the drenched lake, on which there were a few crumbling lotus leaves, and lotus bones that were about to open.

There is also the pontoon bridge, the stone bridge that has dried up and exposed the marble surface, and I don't see the man who went to great lengths to leave the water on the stone bridge, and finally she is left alone, didn't she ask for it?

Just thinking about it, she heard Hua Nong call her, "Concubine Niangniang? Toffee? ”

Concubine Ning turned her head with a expressionless face, "What?" ”

Hua Nong didn't mind, and generously covered his lower abdomen and said: "This palace said that the concubine is well-informed, and now that the palace is pregnant, she can't concentrate on serving the emperor, and there are only a few people in the palace, do you want to draft a girl and expand the harem?" ”

Concubine Ning looked at her with eyes as black as a deep pool, and looked at her thoughtfully with a smile.

She thought that this Hua Nong would be like herself, and she would have received a lifetime of supreme grace.

But that person gave her the position of queen without hesitation, stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix, just for her under the tens of thousands of people, in the face of her, she believed.

But now this person is expanding the harem like a real queen?

The concubine was busy tying the emperor's heart, and the queen was busy sending away the emperor's heart.

She really couldn't understand this queen more and more, she hadn't asked the emperor for the queen's position in her life, and it was impossible for her to persuade him to be wet with rain and dew.

"Concubine Niang? What do you think? Hua Nong asked with interest, his eyebrows and eyes were full of enchanting affection.

Concubine Ning looked at her more and more strangely, she didn't dare to instigate him to the draft, the reason why she could still stay in the palace was to ask for it, even his own mother, the Queen Mother, was sent to Jialan Temple for cultivation.

"Queen, the current situation in the country is tense, if you want to draft, you must shake the treasury, but now everyone is in danger, the draft matter should be put aside first, focusing on the overall situation, as for the expansion of the harem, in fact, there are many people in the palace, but there are fewer titles."

Hua Nong nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and turned his head to look at Liuzhu, "In this case, then the concubine, you should go and serve the emperor first, I am discussing with the concubine." ”

Liuzhu sat there and was suddenly shocked, his eyes widened, and he suddenly looked at it in disbelief, just this sentence, he went from hell to heaven.

Serving the emperor, since he was sent to the West Garden of the Queen's Bedroom by Hua Nong's words, he knew that as long as the Queen was in this dormitory for a day, he would have no future.

Now she said that she would let herself serve the emperor, and she couldn't help but be excited, she finally had a chance to turn over, since she entered the deep palace, it was too late to regret it, so she could only let herself live better and seize every opportunity to go all out.

"What? Don't want to be a concubine? Seeing that Liuzhu was stunned and didn't speak, Hua Nong asked with a shallow mockery on the corner of his mouth.

"No, no, the slave is willing, of course the slave is willing, Queen Xie bothered." When Liuzhu heard this, he quickly knelt down and explained.

"Then ......" Before he could finish speaking, he saw Hai Rong walking towards this side with the prince.

Hua Nong changed his smile and said to Concubine Ning: "The concubine has seen the prince before, let's see if the palace raised him for nothing?" ”

Concubine Ning looked at the people who came over and looked carefully, "It's true that she's gained a lot of weight." ”

Hua Nong smiled and beckoned to the prince, "Come, come to the queen mother." ”

The prince obediently ran over and respectfully called "Queen Mother", which made Hua Nong smile even more.

"Niangniang, the slave just watched the prince wash in the palace alone, and he hasn't eaten yet, I'm afraid that the nurse is gone, and the subordinates are all stealing and bullying the prince."

Hairong frowned, went up and said, he knew that the nurse was deliberately taken away by the queen, and she wanted the prince to have no branches to rely on, the kind of horror that alone faces fear and loneliness, even if it is a humble and insignificant subordinate.

But just passing by and seeing the prince in the East Palace with his sleeves up and fetching water in the well, none of the surrounding minions went up to help, and when he stepped forward to ask, he realized that he hadn't eaten for two meals, and his heart was suddenly sour.

When I asked someone, I learned that the prince's palace deliberately poured hot tea on the queen, and everyone thought that he was no longer favored, and the only nurse who was good to him was also sent to the Huanyi Bureau, and everyone dared not treat him as usual.

What a child!

"What?" When Hua Nong heard this, his face was slightly stunned, and his hand touching the prince's hair was a precursor, as if it was a precursor to anger, and sure enough, "It's really not like that, the prince is not the prince, could it be that they are the masters?" ”

"Hairong, you go to the Internal Affairs Office to transfer a few handy people to serve the prince, as for the original minions, since they don't treat the master as the master," a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Hua Nong's eyes, "One person will be punished with fifty boards and sent back to his hometown, and those who are not dead will be sent to the Huanyi Bureau." ”

When Hai Rong heard this, he shuddered, and was drenched in cold sweat, he inadvertently killed several people, and after the fifty boards were finished, he didn't see anyone gasping for breath.

The crown prince also trembled, and his eyes were full of fear, "Queen Mother." ”

Hua Nong gently touched the prince's face, "Don't worry, the prince, they won't dare to bully you anymore." ”

Concubine Ning was also taken aback on the side, and tremblingly picked up a piece of dim sum and handed it to the prince, but it was a rare sympathy, "Here, fill your stomach first." ”

With Hua Nong's consent, the prince took it carefully, "Thank you, Concubine Niang." ”

Concubine Ning nodded, and saw the prince eating in a big gulp, and her heart couldn't help but be sour.

"Don't eat in such a hurry, be careful of choking, Hairong, go and bring a cup of tea, and then go and tell the small kitchen to make a few dishes that the prince likes to eat, and when the prince finishes eating these snacks, he will go to eat and make more, I am afraid that these will not be enough."
