Outside the main hall of the East Palace, there were groups of palace maids and eunuchs, led by the two palace maids beside the queen and the newly appointed head of internal affairs in the East Palace.

There are pictures scattered all over the hall in the hall, and the queen is standing in the hall full of anger, "The queen mother is kind enough to choose a concubine for you, why are you so ignorant." ”

Mu Aonan chuckled, when did he, the queen mother, really think about him, what she did was just to stabilize her position.

"You also saw it today, Xia Yimeng and Chengwang are like glue, they don't take you to heart at all, but you are still here to borrow wine for her to kill your sorrows, is it worth it?"

The queen slowed down her tone and squatted down, gently stroking Mu Aonan's hair who was sitting on the ground, although she was stronger on weekdays, but it was all forced by the shape, she still cared about Aonan in her heart, after all, she was conceived in October, and there are parents in the world who don't love their children.

"I was ashamed of her first, no matter what she did, I wouldn't blame her, this was her punishment for me, and I gladly accepted it."

Mu Aonan raised her head and commented on the familiar and strange woman in front of her with a very sincere gaze, since she became the queen, she had never spoken to herself so calmly, if her purpose at this time was not to get him to agree to marry the crown princess, maybe the two of them could talk freely.

"How can I have such an uncompetitive son as you! We have lost the important chess piece of the Xia family, if you don't hurry up and work hard to encircle the new forces, your position will be threatened, don't think that you can sit back and relax if you live in the East Palace, how many people outside are eyeing the position of the crown prince, you and I know better than anyone else. ”

This position was a position that they had fought so hard for, and she would not allow anything that threatened them to exist.

Mu Nan sneered, he hadn't had a good night's sleep since the day he stayed in the East Palace, and he always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him at night.

He always dreamed that the royal brother would take him by the hand and ask him why he wanted to harm himself.

If he could do it all over again, he hoped that nothing had happened, that he would still be the same as the royal brother or the crown prince, and that he would still be an inconspicuous little prince, so he would not have to bear so many responsibilities and resentments.

"I've never been with Xiaomeng to get the power of the Xia family, even if she is just a flower girl on the street, I will still love her like life. I can promise you everything else, but this one can't, the queen mother, I beg you to indulge me once, okay. ”

He promised Xiaomeng to keep the position of queen for her, and in his heart, the only person who was qualified to sit in that position was Xia Yimeng, even if she didn't care.

The queen was also stunned, she had never seen Mu Aonan so humble, people's hearts were flesh and blood, and she was sadder than anyone else when she saw her son like this.

"Well, since you've said so, I can't embarrass you anymore. The crown princess can not stand, but Liangdi must stand, you choose one of these people for me, and ask someone to send her portrait to my palace before tomorrow morning. ”

What seems to be a compromise is actually a retreat.

After the queen left, Mu Aonan picked up a portrait casually, glanced at it, and then burned it with a candle, looking at the raging flames, there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

When he had finished burning, he stood up and walked to the bed with the scattered portraits, and the eunuch would report to the queen the missing one when he counted the portraits the next morning, and that was his answer.
