"Whew...... Don't sleep...... "The emperor is tired, but he has something in his heart, and he can't sleep well. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here, and the servants invited her into the outer hall." Gonggong Zhou knew that the eldest princess could become a good medicine for the emperor's troubles, so he immediately replied.
"You're going to invite the eldest sister?" The Emperor frowned.
"It's not a slave, it's the eldest princess herself, saying that it's a new year and a new atmosphere, and I must meet you." Gonggong Zhou replied with a smile.
"Whew...... What the hell is the eldest sister......" The emperor suddenly laughed.
Half an hour later, the emperor went out to the outer cabinet with a homely house.
"Emperor......" The eldest princess got up.
"Eldest sister, you're here." Although the emperor was full of smiles, the tiredness in the corners of his eyes could still be seen by the eldest princess.
"Huh...... You, when you're older, you have to drink less, come and eat some green tea, and then soothe it. The eldest princess invited the emperor to sit down.
"Huh...... Eldest sister, are you ready for breakfast? The Emperor smiled and sat down.
"Isn't this waiting to be used with you?" The eldest princess actually ate something simple before she came, but in order to be able to talk to the emperor, she smiled and shook her head.
"Huh...... It's my sin to make the eldest sister wait for a long time, Father-in-law Zhou asked the imperial dining room to send breakfast over, it's light, I and the eldest sister use some together. The Emperor commanded.
"Yes, the old slave will go." Gonggong Zhou nodded and retreated, just to leave a separate space for the emperor and the eldest princess.
"What? You didn't rest last night, right? Father-in-law Zhou stepped back, and the eldest princess asked unhurriedly.
"This father-in-law Zhou is fast enough." The emperor was a little helpless.
"It's no wonder that he's worried about you, but you don't need to say it, you can guess a thing or two by looking at your complexion, what's wrong? Did something happen last night? The eldest princess asked tentatively.
"Whew...... Eldest sister, you ...... Can you be sure that the fire in Mo'er's bedroom was really the work of the queen and the Nangong family? "The emperor listened to the words of the queen before she died, and wondered for a whole night.
To tell the truth, in the emperor's heart, he has always regarded the queen and the Nangong family as the murderers who killed Su Moer, and he thought that bringing down the Nangong family now would be regarded as a great revenge, but last night's words made the emperor feel a faint trace of regret.
"Why do you ask?" The eldest princess was a little surprised.
"Don't hide it from the eldest sister, I saw the queen last night, and the previous things were all talked about, and she confessed to all the charges, but only this one thing, she kept saying that this matter had nothing to do with her, I didn't believe it at first, but she finally died Mingzhi, I ......" The emperor was uneasy.
"So, do you think the person who set the fire was someone else?" The eldest princess understood what the emperor meant.
"I'm not sure, but that's true...... There are indeed many suspicious points, and many people in the palace were suspicious at the beginning, but the queen and the Nangong family were the first to bear the brunt, so ...... I was thinking, maybe I was blinded......" the Emperor sighed.
"Do you believe the Queen?" The eldest princess couldn't be sure.
"I have to believe it." The emperor was still somewhat shocked by the queen's determination to die.
"Is it because of her will to die?" The eldest princess did not have any good feelings for the queen.
"Hey...... Last night, she didn't even think about it, and she hit her head on the pillar, and I ......," the emperor said again.
"Huh...... It's really hard to say, that incident really didn't catch the current situation, and it is definitely inappropriate to say it, but it is not difficult to understand the queen's behavior.
The Nangong family fell, the crown prince was deposed, all her hopes were destroyed by you, and it is also common sense to seek death, with the insidiousness of the queen, it is entirely possible to stir up a riot before death, so that you will be uneasy, and it is difficult to guarantee that it is not ill-intentioned. The eldest princess said another possibility.
"I've also considered this possibility, but it's about Mo'er, and I have to be cautious." The Emperor frowned.
"I understand, what are you going to do with the queen and the abolished prince?" The eldest princess did not continue to dwell on that question, but turned around.
"Your Majesty, eldest princess, breakfast is ready, please move the two of you......" The eldest princess was asking, and Father-in-law Zhou whispered outside.
"Whew...... Let's go, eldest sister, let's have dinner and talk at the same time. The emperor got up and helped the eldest princess up.
"Okay." The eldest princess got up, and the two of them sat down at the table again and ate simply.
"How's that, how did you think about it?" After eating for a while, until the emperor's expression recovered a little, the eldest princess continued to ask.
"Whew...... Eldest sister, I won't tell you, they still plan to keep it. "The emperor doesn't want their lives at all, not to mention that now that there are such doubts, it won't be.
"Are you sure you can handle it?" The eldest princess was a little worried.
"This is not difficult, besides, if it is really cleaned up, then the Yuwen family will become the next Nangong family again, I really don't have so much energy, if it weren't for the eldest sister this time, if it wasn't for Ziran and Zhengxi, I'm afraid I would have been burned out a long time ago." The Emperor shook his head.
"I also agree with this, after all, the Nangong family and the Yuwen family have been holding each other back for so long, and now that the Nangong family has suddenly collapsed, the power will inevitably be reshuffled, and it is true that it can't be broken too cleanly, otherwise, there is really that possibility." The eldest princess nodded in agreement.
"So...... I want to be in a little less hurry until a new balance is formed. The Emperor said.
"Are you going to use Ziran?" The eldest princess raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Ziran's child is my next arrangement, but ......" The emperor seemed to hesitate.
"What, it won't be for Xiao Yan to be right, Ziran's kid doesn't have this intention?" The eldest princess asked.
"Hey...... In the end, it is Mo'er's child, which is the same as Mo'er's original idea, but it ...... In this way, I still can't rest assured. The Emperor sighed.
"To tell the truth, Zi Ran and the Five Princes, in terms of talent, ability, strategy, and foresight, are indeed equal, but they are just ......
The five princes were immersed in the imperial power earlier than Zi Ran, and the five princes are indeed better than the old scheming, but compared to the morality and pure heart, Zi Ran is more suitable.
It's just that what kind of people are needed in this position now, I believe the emperor has already considered it in his heart, right? "The eldest princess never helps the emperor make decisions, she just says it from her heart.
"I'm sure the eldest sister can see it......" The emperor laughed again.
"Huh...... I know that you are still inclined to Zi Ran in your heart, otherwise you will not hand over such a big matter to Zi Ran, you are helping him shape resources. The eldest princess put down the chopsticks in her hand and smiled.
"Hey...... Eldest sister, maybe it's because of guilt, maybe not, but I always feel that Ziran is the most suitable one, although ...... The five princes are indeed excellent, but the Yuwen family ...... "The emperor is still a little worried about the power behind the five princes.
"Cousin, this is indeed a problem that is not easy to control, and I have considered this." The eldest princess nodded.
"Hey...... But...... These are all my considerations, and it is difficult for Zi Ran's child to say.
By the way, after this period of time, after Zi Ran dealt with the henchmen of the Nangong family, I had already promised him to rest for a while, and according to Zi Ran's wishes, he might go to the North Land to recuperate for a while. The Emperor said again.
"Well, this matter is over, it's time to rest, don't talk about Ziran, even I want to take a good rest, hehe...... Emperor, you are the same......" The eldest princess picked up the tea and rinsed her mouth.
"It's okay, I also want to find a quiet place to rest for a few days, how about it, eldest sister, I will come to you?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow.
"Huh...... Okay, I've been keeping that land for you. The eldest princess smiled.
"Huh...... Okay, I'll be able to leave now. The Emperor laughed too......
Sure enough, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor followed the eldest princess who entered the palace to visit him out of the palace and went to the north courtyard.
Because in the past year, although the affairs of the Nangong family have been widely implicated and deeply affected, they are still stable in the end, of course, the secret affairs, the emperor has been handed over to Jiang Ziran and Jiang Zhengxi.
The emperor Lai was recuperating in the eldest princess's courtyard, and Xiao Rourou was also temporarily summoned, and Prince Rong was jealous, and on the grounds that he was not at ease, he also relied on the eldest princess's courtyard and did not leave.
The three sisters and brothers have rarely been together for a while, of course, this is bitter for the little meat, three ancestors, an imperial grandfather, a grandfather, an aunt, all three of them are very fond of him, and the little meat is also busy with their scramble to pamper.
In the blink of an eye, after the New Year, Jiang Zhengxi and Jiang Ziran were busy, and it was not until early summer that the affairs of the Nangong family were dealt with.
caught up with the eldest princess and Xiao Yan to get married, although it was a low-key thing, but it was enough for them to be lively for a while.
It dragged on until midsummer, and Jiang Zhengxi and Yan Ruojiu took Xiao Rourou and Jiang Ziran to the north to recuperate.
After such a great achievement, he suddenly went north to recuperate, which always gave people a feeling of retiring, Jiang Ziran's move made many courtiers amazed, and there was an extra layer of thought in their hearts.
The Five Princes are especially so.
One day, the fifth prince met Luo Li's mother and son in a courtyard outside the palace.
