In fact, Qiwen really has no interest in being a queen at all, who has fallen in love with in modern times, she doesn't even need to get a book, she just moves to live together, how can she be like the ancients who took the status of a wife so seriously? What's more, being a queen has to take care of a lot of bad things, and it is better to leave it to others to do a good job.

It's just about being his only woman, and that's what she cares about.

After this turmoil, she was already sure that she didn't need to listen to the emperor's promises, and she was sure that he would not have the heart to touch other women in his life except for her. Since she has actually done his only thing, she is willing to let herself endure the little regret in her heart, and really don't go to Longwangshu.

After solving the queen's affairs, it's time to go to see my mother. went to see Empress Taishang, the emperor deliberately delayed the time, and waited until the afternoon and evening. He had already heard very specific reports before he came, and knew that the queen mother had a very lively day this day.

First of all, Yuan Ying came, he couldn't pretend to be okay at this moment, he should always come to give his mother an explanation. It's easy to imagine what he will say, or it is a qiē to be classified as a private relationship between men and women and true love.

To the emperor's surprise, Yuan Ying was blocked from driving, and Empress Taishang said that she was sick. This is a new thing, you must know that for more than 20 years, her mother has doted on Yuan Ying more than her father, and this is the first time that Yuan Ying has been deflated by her mother.

Thinking about it, Empress Taishang heard that he had forced the emperor's woman to death, and she was anxious to help him deal with the aftermath, and she didn't even care about the risk of turning her face with the emperor, and she almost didn't rush to attack her heart and followed her heart attack, and finally learned that she was deceived by him, Qiwen didn't die at all, but was quietly stolen by him, can Empress Taishang not be angry!

The emperor gloated very unkindly, both for his brothers and for his mother. This kind of drama is really good, it's good to watch it often in the future!

After Yuan Ying went back, Zhuojin came, not by herself, but with two aunts and an aunt, nominally to visit, but in fact it was "comfort" plus listening to the gossip about the short and long.

The Ten Princes' Mansion has always been clean, but yesterday, the prince and the emperor visited one after another within half a day, can it not trigger the gossip nerves of the women? The emperor didn't ask the eldest princess to keep it secret, and he didn't think it was worth keeping it secret. According to the default rules for many years, the secrets within the royal family are digested internally, and it is nothing for the two aunts and one aunt to know, and no one will pass them on to the outside world.

He even said that he actually deliberately wanted them to know.

Before leaving yesterday, he told Zhuo Jin about the original situation, and did not mention that Yuan Ying's goal was to covet the throne, only that the two brothers were fighting for women, and also mentioned the cousin of Empress Taishang in Longxi Pavilion that day, and the eldest princess was particularly indignant at that time.

He knew Zhuo Jin's temperament, and if he was not strictly ordered by him to shut up, he was bound to find someone to talk about it, and the two aunts and one aunt must have come to the door after getting the news.

The emperor was now curious about how his mother dealt with the two sisters-in-law and an aunt.

At the beginning, the three elders had a common hobby, which was to lose the Empress Taishang (who was still the queen at the time) and watch her jokes. It's also good to imagine the superiority of a royal woman, and the queen's sister-in-law, who marries in and is not from a high background, does not bully Bai or bully.

The three old women couldn't say that they liked the emperor much, but because of this hobby, they all fought for him and accused Empress Taishang of partiality. My aunt and grandmother once said bluntly: You are cold when you are married, hot after you are treated, and you will not miss your good after being careful in the future, and you will not be a person inside and out.

Empress Taishang naturally didn't take it seriously at that time, what a good child Yuan Ying is? You will definitely honor me for the rest of your life.

Now that she has been deceived by this good boy, it shows that Yuan Ying fooled and used her easily, without any scruples, and without the slightest admiration, but she offended her own son a lot for this little white-eyed wolf, but didn't it just fulfill this statement?

The queen mother was ridiculed and suffered, which can be regarded as a kind of retribution. The emperor gloated even more unkindly, secretly regretting that he had not had the opportunity to attend in person.

Later, my aunt and grandmother left first, leaving Zhuojin alone and never left, presumably because Queen Taishang's heart was very hurt and she needed her daughter to stay for intimate comfort.

Later, not surprisingly, when he came to the door, Empress Taishang also said that she was not sick. If you don't see it, you won't see it, it's just right if you don't see it, he didn't bother to explain anything. What is right and wrong is obvious, what does he need to explain? He came to the door to make a gesture just to save face for his mother.

But this time I didn't come in vain, and I unexpectedly heard a great news.

"Really?" Just after hearing the eldest princess say the news that the Emperor Taishang had come to his senses, he couldn't believe it. It has been nearly two months since my father fell asleep all day, and when he occasionally woke up, his consciousness was chaotic, and the imperial doctor had long said that it was difficult for him to wake up again.

The eldest princess smiled: "Can I still lie to you?" My father woke up at noon and said something in bits and pieces, and the imperial doctor and my mother were worried that it would be a return to the light, as if they were afraid of something, and they were going to summon the minister into the palace to draft the edict. Unexpectedly, after a few hours, my father's mind became clearer and clearer, and he was able to chat with people by this time. Just in time for you to come, we were about to have someone invite you. ”

What is the edict of an abdicated emperor? The eldest princess didn't have the brains to directly relay the words of the queen mother, which was inevitably disrespectful to the emperor, but the emperor would not care about these at the moment.

It was really a surprise, although he had already counted his father's death in the plan, he had never looked forward to his father's death, and when he heard the news, he felt that today was a good day, so he couldn't wait to shake the eldest princess's arm and ask, "Where is my father now?" ”

"It's a good day, my father just said that he wanted to bask in the sun, and the doctor also said that it would be better to see the sun, and my mother is arranging for someone to carry my father to the garden. The second brother will go to accompany his father, and my mother has me here, so you don't have to worry. ”

Yuan Ying may also make people confuse right and wrong with Queen Taishang and reverse black and white, and if there is a brocade, he will not be afraid. The emperor didn't say anything more, and hurriedly followed the eunuchs of Ciqing Palace to lead the way and rushed to Ciqing Garden.

Seeing him off, the eldest princess Shi Shiran walked through the hall and went to the apse to report: "The second brother went to talk to his father." ”

Empress Taishang sat on the south kang, guarding the kang table to check the medicine, and after hearing this, she threw down a petal of astragalus, and complained upsetly: "Tell me, what is this!" Seeing that your father woke up so easily, I didn't dare to tell him. ”

The eldest princess sighed and came over and sat down on the opposite side of the kang table: "You can't tell your father, if you want to say it, you have to wait for your father to get better." ”

Empress Taishang was still resentful: "The king of a country is still dignified, he has turned the world so upside down for a woman, he almost turned his face with me, and your father knew about it, maybe he would be disappointed in him, I am afraid that he will regret passing on this throne to him." She couldn't wait to say the second half of the sentence: There was nothing to do when she passed it on to Yuan Ying, and it shouldn't have been passed on to him.

Although the eldest princess was familiar with her mother's position, she still couldn't help but be surprised after hearing it, and the sip of tea she had just drunk into her mouth was sprayed back into the teacup, coughing and widening her eyes: "Until this time, do you still think that the second brother is wrong?" "Is it because I was ridiculed by my aunts and became rebellious?

Empress Taishang was choked up, and said stiffly: "After all, he is the emperor and an elder brother." ”

"So what?" The eldest princess's apricot eyes widened, "The second brother and Qiwen are in love, is it because he is the emperor and the elder brother, should he give Qiwen to the third brother?" How many women did the third brother have? Why do you want to rob the second brother? ”

Empress Taishang was choked up and speechless, and she was even more annoyed: "You kid actually came to talk back to me!" I...... How can I be so miserable? As he spoke, he hid his face and wept.

The eldest princess saw her mother crying for the first time after so many years, and she panicked for a while, and handed over the handkerchief and made amends again and again, and almost shed tears with her.

Empress Taishang wiped her tears and said, "I just prefer Yuan Ying, what's wrong?" Isn't it because Yuan Ying treats me better than Yuan Chen? ”

The eldest princess was stunned again: "Do you really think so?" Seeing her mother looking over with red eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head and apologized, "It's my daughter talking nonsense, don't take it to heart mother, third brother he...... Indeed, it is good for mothers. ”

Empress Taishang no longer wiped away her tears, and looked straight to the side and was stunned. Yuan Ying treats me better than Yuan Chen, and when she says this now, even she feels against her will.

In fact, how could she really be so confused and unreasonable? It's just that in this situation, she is really unwilling to admit her mistakes.

Yuan Chen has always had a cold face since he was a child, and he has never said a few words of good obedience during the New Year's holidays and birthday for her, it seems that she really can't treat her with a "good" word, which is too far behind Yuan Ying. Because of this, she has always felt that she should greet Yuan Ying with a smile and be unapologetic to Yuan Chen, but now, ......

Since the Imperial Pole, Yuan Chen has reduced the amount of the court everywhere, but he has only treated the Ciqing Palace very closely, and has taken care of her and the Emperor Taishang with all his heart, and has arranged it more properly and meticulously than when the Emperor Taishang reigned in the past. The good words are still never said, but they have never lost their respect.

In fact, during the period when she was in Guanzhong, during the New Year's Festival and her birthday with the Emperor, Yuanchen did not send a lot of gifts.

But what about Yuanying? Obviously, Yuan Ying will do good things that are beneficial to him, say good things that are good for him, and use her mother when necessary, without ambiguity.

Empress Taishang has actually figured it out, she has been used to it for many years, and no matter how much kindness she receives from Yuan Chen, she can't listen to Yuan Ying say the last auspicious words more comfortably.

As early as when she heard that Yuan Ying had forced Qiwen to death, although she immediately decided to help cover it up, she was already guilty of Yuan Chen in her heart, and she already knew that it was Yuan Ying who was not Yuan Chen. Now that he sees Yuan Ying's intentions, there is no doubt.

She just doesn't want to admit it, she doesn't want to give in, she doesn't want everyone to see her mistakes so clearly.

The heart was stirring with the distress of Yuan Chen's grievances for more than 20 years, and Queen Taishang was even more tearful, and she couldn't help it. This time it wasn't for himself, but he cried more sincerely.

……

The sun is warm and the sky is clear and the wind is clear.

The Emperor Taishang's gray hair was combed neatly, he was dressed in a mouse-gray mink fur, his knees were covered with a velvet blanket, and he leaned on the chaise longue with his eyes closed and his demeanor was peaceful.

The emperor walked into the Ciqing Garden and approached his father step by step, feeling agitated. Although his face is calm these days, in fact, almost every morning when he wakes up, he is worried that he will hear the bad news from Ciqing Palace, how dare he hope that he will have the opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with his father in this life, which is simply a great gift from God.

The servant of the servant has withdrawn himself as soon as he comes. The Emperor seemed to be asleep, and the emperor's movements were extremely light, as if he was afraid of disturbing his father, but when he came closer, the Emperor Taishang still opened his eyes and showed him a familiar gentle smile: "Coming?" ”

A strong sourness welled up in his heart, the emperor never imagined that he would have such a moment, as if a child who had been wronged outside came home and saw his relatives, and he just wanted to throw himself on his father's lap and cry.

His eyebrows trembled, he tried his best to suppress his thoughts, lowered his already moist eyes, and knelt down in front of the chaise longue: "Father......"

The Emperor Taishang was a little moved, and stretched out his hand to pull him: "Why are you doing this?" ”

This is really unnecessary, he is just worried that his father will never have the opportunity to receive his great gift in this life, if he misses today, he is afraid that the next time he can only be in the mourning hall.

Near was a gazebo, where the wind was facing the sun, and he got up and did not sit down on the high chair prepared beside him, but sat on the stone steps close to the chaise longue, and the hand that held his father's wrist refused to let go.

"Yuan Ying has also been here today." Emperor Taishang said slowly, "At that time, I claimed that I was not in good spirits and wanted to sleep for a while, so I didn't say a few words and sent him away. He smiled wryly at his age, "Actually, I'm pretending." I don't want to listen to what he says, anyway, it's just a cliché, not a word of sincerity, and it's not worth my trouble to listen to. ”

The emperor was very surprised, and his father still expressed his rejection of Yuan Ying for the first time, and for the first time, he clearly expressed his inclination for him. Why is that? My father has just woken up, and it is impossible for anyone to talk about this incident.

Seeing that the Emperor Taishang turned his head slightly to look at him, the emperor adjusted his sitting position again, so that his father could see that he could save more effort. There seems to be a lot of things I want to say to my father in my heart, but I don't know where to start for a while. So what to say? said that he finally found the woman he really loved, and finally untied the knot?

The Emperor Taishang looked at him and said, "Do you remember the only time you had a fight with Yuan Ying when you were a child, how I dealt with it?" ”

He didn't expect his father to ask about this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Did he ever fight with Yuan Ying? I can't remember it, it must have been a long, long time ago.

"You must think that I ignored you at the time, just favoring Yuan Ying, right?" The Emperor Taishang said to himself, his tone was extremely slow, like an old grandfather telling a story to a child, "Actually, after you left that day, I hit Yuan Ying's hand board for the first time and punished him for copying books. It was your mother who interceded and said that Yuan Ying has always been strong, and since he has been punished, don't let him lose face more, so he is silent, so that you don't know. ”

The Emperor still didn't remember what time it was, but he already understood what his father meant.

"At the beginning, I intended to let Yuan Ying inherit the throne, but I was actually afraid that you would have a stubborn and perverse temperament and would not be suitable for being the emperor, not out of preference for Yuan Ying." Emperor Taishang smiled self-deprecatingly, "I know that I am not a good emperor, and I don't have the ability to be a good emperor, but ...... I don't want to ruin the foundation of my ancestors, I can't control myself, I should always choose a more suitable new emperor for Dayan. ”

The emperor's heart was surging, and he couldn't help himself, and he moved his lips to ask the question that he had been puzzled for a long time: Sure enough, you chose me to succeed to the throne because I am more suitable than Yuan Ying, and I am more likely to recover the decline, right?

But before he could speak, the Emperor Taishang had already turned the topic back: "I have always been the same to you as I have been to Yuan Ying, and I have never had a real preference for anyone, on the surface, I am treating him kindly, but in fact, it is only because, I have never been sure how to get along with you." Remember, I tried to treat you like him, but you didn't react like he did. ”

The emperor was full of shame, he always regarded the kindness of his parents as pity and compensation, and he had a cold face and was negative, but he never thought that it might be out of sincerity, and the same was the true affection for him. Others have made stubborn and perverse conclusions for him, and it is not his fault.

"I felt helpless, I couldn't think of a way, so I had to avoid it again and again, so that I walked farther and farther away from you, and gradually I didn't know how to speak." Emperor Taishang smiled bitterly, rubbing his thumb lightly on the back of his hand, "Don't blame your father, it's not that your father is partial, it's just that he's stupid." ”

The emperor couldn't hold back any longer, two lines of tears slid down his face, and he clenched his father's hand and said in a trembling voice: "It's me who is not good, it's all children who are stupid, and they don't understand my father's hard work." ”

"Where's the blame on you? To make it clear, it is the responsibility of parents to expect their children to take the initiative to inquire? The Emperor Taishang was a little in good spirits, and closed his eyes for a while, "While I am still alive, I should give you an extra guarantee, so that no one will trouble you after I die." When I think about it tonight, I'll make an edict tomorrow. Presumably, how many people can listen to my words today? ”

"This matter is not urgent, my father has just improved, so it's better not to work too hard." The emperor said earnestly that his throne was given by his father himself, and then the emperor also emphasized to his subordinates many times that he obeyed his will, and if his father made another edict to stabilize his position, so that all his subordinates were obedient, and Yuan Ying had nothing to do, then there was no need to wait until today.

It would be more effective to start with something else. It's a shame to think about it, my father finally woke up, and what he desperately needed to do, he still used it.

The emperor paused for a moment and said, "I have another matter, and I want to ask my father for help." ”

When the Emperor Taishang opened his eyes and looked over, he asked, "Father, do you still remember, Zhao Shunde, Marquis of Pingyuan?" ”
