Today is the day of the emperor's deliberations. {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters - princes, ministers arrived early and waited in the front hall.}

Qing'er was behind the hall with tea, and the scene in front of her was also unobstructed.

Strange, why didn't he come over?

Ordinary King Guangling is always the first to arrive, is there something wrong today?

The discussion of politics will begin immediately, and on such an important occasion, if he is late, the emperor will be furious.

When Qing'er was anxious, he suddenly thought, yes, the season is coming, he must have gone there.

Trotting all the way.

It's finally here.

Thick greenery comes into view, and white flowers are dotted with greenery.

Sure enough, King Guangling was standing alone in the locust forest.

White flowers fell on his bun and scarlet robes.

He stood motionless, like a sculpture.

"Lord Wang?"

Qing'er asked lightly.

He closed his eyes tightly for a long time before slowly opening them.

"Qing'er, are you here?"

Qing'er bowed respectfully to the depths of the acacia forest.

"Qing'er has disturbed the mother-son conversation between the concubine and the prince, but the matter is urgent, and I hope that the mother will forgive Qing'er's sins."

The concubine said. Although you are rude, there is a reason for the incident, and the merit is worth the demerits. ”

King Guangling said softly.

"I only talked a little to my mother, but I forgot the time. Are all the ministers here? ”

"It's all here!"

Qing'er said.

"The politics are about to begin!"

"It's time to go back!"

King Guangling looked into the depths of the locust forest.

"Mother, the child still has important things to deal with, and he has to leave first, and when the child's discussion is over, he will come back to accompany the mother concubine immediately."

After saying that, turn around and leave.

Qing'er followed.

He suddenly turned around, stood in front of Qing'er, caressed Qing'er's arm with both hands, and whispered, "Qing'er, you stay!" Just now, the mother concubine said, you are a good girl who is sensible, especially in the face of major rights and wrongs, and you have wisdom that men can't match. The mother said, she likes you very much! You stay and talk to her on my behalf! ”

Hearing him say this, did she approve of me?

For a while, Qing'er was not only happy, but also a little more shy.

Qing'er nodded lightly.

He caressed Qing'er's face with a warm gaze.

In this situation, the two have a tacit understanding and a lot of sadness.

He turned and walked away.

Qing'er silently looked at his departing figure, could that scarlet official robe withstand the heaviness of his heart?

Now, the crown prince is dead, and the position of prince has been vacated, but for him, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Can he take advantage of this opportunity to get what he wants, and avenge his mother's family in the future.

For this road, I don't know how much he has to endure and how much he has to pay.

The locust flowers are falling, and the pieces are white.

The light petals fell on Qing'er's body, forehead, and hands.

Qing'er said silently.

Guifei Niangniang, are you talking to Qing'er?

Qing'er thinks that the concubine must also be a woman who is close to the people, virtuous, and has a beautiful heart.

You are so noble, you love the most simple and white locust flowers in the folk, and your heart must be as pure and beautiful as the locust flowers.

At this political meeting, the issue of official transfer and promotion was discussed.

Several officials recommended by Prime Minister Wei Zhiyi have been reused, and only three officials recommended by King Shu have been appointed, and all of them are civil officials, as for the few people recommended by King Guangling, the emperor did not pay attention to them, but only suppressed them with their official positions.

In this discussion, the ministers mentioned the matter of establishing the crown prince, but the emperor only coughed a few times and did not answer, and then announced his retirement from the court on the grounds of enjoying the flowers.

The queen has been ill for more than a month.

During this time, in addition to letting Nangu accompany her to the imperial garden a few times, the queen lay on the windbed all day long, and the other concubines, princes, and princesses came to ask for peace, but they all refused on the grounds that they were not feeling well.

These days, there are a lot of supplements and precious medicinal materials sent by the princes, but the queen has never seen anyone.

On this day, the queen let Nangu Xuan Guo Wan enter the palace.

When my aunt and nephew saw each other, I was sad and sad.

A man who lost his only son and a husband who lost his future.

Guo Wan was full of tears and grief.

"Wan'er shouldn't have lived in the world, just because her aunt loved her, she couldn't bear to leave her aunt behind; As long as the aunt does not dislike Wan'er, in this life, Wan'er is willing to stay by her aunt's side for the rest of her life, accompany her day and night, and be driven by her aunt. ”

The queen held Guo Wan's hand.

"Wan'er, since I was a child, my aunt's favorite thing is you, it's too late to love, how can I dislike you."

Cough lightly twice.

"Wan'er, do you know why your aunt loves you the most?"

Guo Wan shook her head lightly.

"Please also ask my aunt to make it clear."

"Wan'er, you're a smart kid!"

Queen's Road.

"Although you are not a daughter, you have the wisdom that a man can't match, so knowledgeable and reasonable, which is most similar to my aunt, which is why my aunt likes you the most."

"It's my aunt who loves Wan'er so much!"

Guo Wan bowed her head and said.

"Wan'er, today, you will accompany your aunt to have a good talk."

The queen's soft complexion still couldn't hide her grief.

"In the days when Bengong was sick, many princes came to visit Bengong, and Bengong always thought that they were not sincere enough, so they sternly refused. If you look at Wan'er, which prince is closest to this palace? ”

The queen's simple question was a difficult problem for Guo Wan.

Perhaps, the queen wants to choose a credible one from the many princes to serve as the crown prince to assist in the future.

This question is still difficult for the queen, let alone for Guo Wan.

If the queen already has a choice in her heart, what Guo Wan said is in line with the queen's wishes, but if it doesn't, it won't attract a lot of speculation.

Guo Wan is as calm as ever.

"If you look at Wan'er, many princes are dedicated to their aunt. They all treated their aunts like their own mothers. ”

"Really?"

The queen smiled.

"Wan'er, the fourth prince Li Jing, what do you think?"

"The four princes are the most talented. Whether it is doing business or dealing with government affairs, there is great wisdom that ordinary people cannot reach. In dealing with the government affairs of the household department, he has his own hand, and the civil and military officials are all praised, and the emperor is even more appreciated. ”

Wan'er said.

"He threw himself on silk and made his silk. Wan'er heard that the silk he bleached and dyed was so high in color and skill that even the emperors of other countries were like treasures. He is also a lover, it is said that once he was stubborn, even the emperor shook his head and sighed helplessly, let alone others. Auntie, is this true? ”

"That's true!"

The queen sighed.

"Five princes, what about King Li Lu?"

"The five princes are brave and good at fighting, and the art of war is like a god, and they are the most outstanding generals among the princes. Now he has 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands, guarding Nanjun. I think that back then, when the enemy heard the name of the king, they were terrified, let alone come to provoke. During the years that the five princes guarded Nanjun, it can be said that the border passes are peaceful and the people are peaceful. ”

Guo Wan said.

Wan'er also heard that when King Jing first attacked Nanyi, in order to steal merit with Chen Guogong, he actually washed the people of Nanyi with blood, not only did he disregard the advice of the strategist Su Ming, but also cut off Su Ming's head to sacrifice the flag. As the general of Nanjun, if he is ...... day"

"yes!"

The queen nodded.

"What about the sixth prince Li Yan? Wan'er, what do you think? ”

"The sixth prince, Li Yan, is eight years old, the most well-behaved and cute."

Guo Wan said.

"The sixth prince usually accompanies his aunt often, and he is very pleasing to his aunt. My aunt should love the Six Princes very much. The sixth prince is also very docile and listens to his aunt. Concubine Jin, the mother of the sixth prince, is even more modest and silent, and she is also close to her aunt. Such a good person, why is he the granddaughter of King Shu. Last time, I happened to meet Concubine Jin on Changshou Street, going home to save her relatives. ”

"Say no more. Wan'er. ”

The queen suddenly stopped Guo Wan's words.

"Wan'er, the third prince, what do you think?"

"Auntie, the most familiar with the three princes should be my aunt."

Guo Wan said.

"Auntie, the third prince grew up with you."

"Indeed! He was indeed raised by this palace. ”

The queen sighed.

Since the absence of the mother concubine of the third prince, King Guangling has been taken care of by the queen.

All these years, the queen was his titular mother.

I don't know why, when the queen mentions this person again, she feels so strange.

Over the years, Bengong hasn't looked at him very seriously, but he is still humble and filial to Bengong, I hope his deference is out of sincerity, not hypocrisy. Hongu is really afraid that he has a wolf, maybe he will be bitten by a wolf one day, and he doesn't know it. ”

Guo Wan said gently: "Auntie, before, Wan'er was also confused. Unexpectedly, the three princes were the most persistent, and the other princes and princesses all left due to fatigue. Unexpectedly, the third prince stayed in front of the mausoleum of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for three days and three nights. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Wan'er wouldn't have believed it. ”

"Really?"

The queen asked, her eyes a little more fierce.

Guo Wan bumped into this sharp look, but was not nervous, but as calm as usual.

"It seems that Wan'er knows very clearly?"

Nangu stepped forward.

"Back to the queen, in the days when you were sick, Wan'er also kept watch in front of the mausoleum of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for three days and three nights, and the slave maid was also very distressed."

Guo Wan's eyes were full of tears.

The queen's sharp eyes gradually became gentle, and she shook Guo Wan's hand.

"Wan'er, you are really a child with a heart. My aunt didn't hurt you in vain! ”

Guo Wanying burst into tears.

"Auntie, what Wan'er wants in this life, she only wants to be by her aunt's side, but her aunt's life is obeyed!"

The Queen's gaze gradually became gentle.

Nangu on the side walked over.

"Queen Niangniang, the third prince, King Guangling, came to greet Niangniang, will Niangniang see it or not?"

"King Guangling?"

The queen asked.

Nangu said: "Yes! During the period when Niangniang was sick, the three princes came to say goodbye every day, never stopped, and sometimes stood outside the palace for half a day. ”

"He really has a heart!"

Queen's Road.

"Nangu, announce him in!"

turned to Guo Wan beside him and said, "Wan'er, you go down first!" ”

Guo Wan left.
