The sky darkened, but Zhao Yuliang was still reluctant to leave. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wen Yingsu leaned her head on his chest, quietly feeling his hug and his body temperature, and was a little reluctant to let him go.
The two hugged each other tightly.
Their hugging bodies are projected on the wall, like a pair of cross-necked mandarin ducks.
The spring breeze blew in through the half-open windows, with a faint scent of flowers.
The crown prince suddenly remembered that one night a few years ago, the crown princess was also lying in his arms like this, and told him with a coquettish face: "Your Highness, you are going to be a father." ā
Now, three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The prince's heart was sour, and his eyes couldn't help but redden.
Either way, it was all in the past, he sighed, and didn't let himself continue to immerse himself in the memories.
The prince stretched out his hand and stroked the hair on Wen Yingsu's forehead, and said softly, "The swallow has flown back again." ā
Wen Ying hurriedly looked up at him and asked, "Do you want to come back as a couple or come back with Xiaoyanzi?" ā
The prince leaned over and kissed her in the eyes and said, "Come back with a pair." When the children grow up, they fly alone, and only husbands and wives will accompany each other until they grow old. ā
He looked at her as he spoke, his eyes filled with love.
He really wanted to say - I want to be with you until I am old.
Wen Yingsu avoided his gaze and said softly: "It's not early, Your Highness, please go back." ā
The prince smiled faintly and said coquettishly: "What if you don't want to go back?" ā
Wen Ying sneered and said, "Your Highness is the prince of a country, and your reputation still needs to be paid attention to." ā
The prince lay his face between her hair bushes for a long time before letting her go, and said, "Okay, then I'll go back." ā
Wen Yingsu reached out and tidied up his robe for him.
Her movements were extremely gentle, and the prince was so upset that he was reluctant to leave even after she helped him tidy up.
Wen Yingsu gently pushed him and said, "Your Highness, go back quickly." ā
The prince suddenly took her hand and said, "How did you think about that?" ā
Wen Ying pretended to be confused and asked, "I don't know what His Highness is asking?" ā
The prince jerked her up and walked towards the bed.
Wen Ying was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the slave maid hasn't thought about it yet." ā
The prince put her on the bed, leaned over to meet her eyes, and said, "My patience is limited, you had better give me an answer sooner." ā
With that, he immediately got up and walked out quickly.
He was afraid that he would do something wrong if he waited a little longer.
Wen Yingsu buried her face in the quilt, and tears flowed unconsciously.

The next day, several officials came out in the early morning and said: "Your Majesty, the triennial palace draft is about to begin, I wonder how many people Your Majesty plans to recruit this year?" ā
Only then did the emperor think of this, rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't care if I increase the number of people or not, but the prince has to find a few for him, so let's do it according to the previous rules." ā
If according to the previous rules, at least more than 5,000 people must be selected in the country, and at least 1,000 people must be selected when they are promoted to the palace, and 100 to 300 people should be left after layers of screening, and then most of these hundreds of people will be selected into the palace, and a small part will be divided into the prince, prince, etc. as concubines.
The crown prince Zhao Yuliang has always felt that women are too troublesome, and he is a person who would rather lack than abuse, so when he heard this, he hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, Erchen plans to choose one of Erchen's existing ladies to be the crown princess, and this time I won't work for everyone to draft Erchen." ā
The emperor waved his hand and said: "Your ladies are either too delicate, or their temperament is not good enough, so you still have to add a few more." Besides, you should also think about your children. ā
When the ministers heard this, they all began to discuss.
"I don't know if His Highness is not good, otherwise why haven't I seen those ladies pregnant for a few years?" An official whispered to the officer next to him.
The official next to him glanced at him and said, "You can't say that, didn't the crown princess be pregnant back then?" In my opinion, it may be that the prince is only willing to have offspring with the woman he likes. ā
The official who spoke first hurriedly glared at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Even if he doesn't like them, there will always be a husband and wife, right?" After so many years, wouldn't anyone happen to get pregnant? ā
The official next to him smiled mysteriously, approached him and said, "There are many ways to contraception, can such a smart person as His Highness not understand this?" ā
The crown prince happened to hear the conversation between the two of them, smiled disapprehantly, and then said to the emperor: "It is the son's fault that the son neglects the heir on weekdays, and the son will make more efforts in this regard from today on." ā
The emperor said solemnly: "No matter what, let's find a few more for you." You don't have to prevaricate, I'll ask the queen to follow up on this for you. ā
The crown prince smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ā
That day, the emperor went to Kunyi Palace to find Queen Jingzhuang, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "It's the palace draft month again, how many people does the queen plan to add to the harem this year?" ā
Empress Jingzhuang naturally didn't want more beauties around the emperor, but she also knew that this was the rule of the palace, so she didn't dare to behave too stingy, so she responded with a smile: "How much does Your Majesty want?" ā
The emperor walked over and hugged her Chu waist and said, "It's enough for me to have you, it doesn't matter how much else I am." ā
That is to say, I still don't mind having it.
Empress Jingzhuang smiled: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." ā
Then Empress Jingzhuang said: "The concubine is going to look for a few for the prince this time." ā
"I also mean that, so you can put more effort into helping him choose."
Empress Jingzhuang nodded.
"But he said he wanted to choose one of the ladies he had to be the crown princess." The emperor added.
Queen Jingzhuang smiled and said: "The concubines also agree, Wu Liangdi is dignified and knowledgeable, and she will definitely be able to honor the world in the future." ā
The emperor scratched her nose and said, "If you talk about the bearing of the mother in the world, even if she cultivates for another fifty years, she may not be as good as you." ā
Queen Jingzhuang glared at him, and said coquettishly: "Then the concubine will train her well, maybe she will be comparable to the concubine in ten years." ā
The emperor's originally smiling face suddenly darkened.
Empress Jingzhuang realized that he was too distracted again, and hurriedly said: "The concubine just said that, whether she can achieve it depends on her understanding." ā
The emperor's face softened slightly, took her hand and said, "I haven't heard you play the piano for a few days, come, play a song for me." ā
Queen Jingzhuang hurriedly asked Liu Ying to bring her piano.
In the evening of that day, as soon as the prince returned to the East Palace, he asked Wu Liangdi to come over.
Seeing that the prince's expression seemed to be a little displeased, Lin Jian asked, "Your Highness, but Your Majesty and the Empress have urged you to consider the issue of the heir again?" ā
The prince nodded.
"Then ......" Lin Liang was about to say when Wu Liangdi walked in.
Lin Frame hurriedly retreated.
Although Wu Liangdi's appearance is not as good as that of Queen Jingzhuang, it can be regarded as a flower and moon appearance, plus she is good at maintenance and has the influence of poetry and books, and now she looks more and more bright and moving.
The prince could see her, and his originally indifferent face finally had a smile, but it was only fleeting. (To be continued.) )
