Emperor Yuan turned sideways, looked out the window, and smiled bitterly: "I know that the queen mother is jealous of Empress Gongxian, but can she complain about Empress Gongxian?" I remember that when I was a child, it was her neglect of disciplining me that my father passed me on to Empress Gongxian, who treated me as if she were her own, so my brother-sister relationship with Jiaying Jiayi was more cordial than with other princes and princesses, and it turned out that the better I treated them, the harder it was for the queen mother to swallow that breath. ”

Qizheng coughed slightly, Emperor Yuan looked back at her, frowned slightly, and said, "I almost forgot that you are still infected with the wind cold." After that, he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down with Qizheng shoulders, and pulled the quilt to drape over Qizheng.

Qi Zheng looked at Emperor Yuan with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "The queen mother's conditions, does the emperor agree?" ”

Emperor Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, Concubine Hui is jealous, exactly the same as the young queen mother in my influence, if I make her the queen, I don't know if my children will follow the path of Jiaying Jiayi, but if not, what should Jiayi do, Qizheng, what do you say?" After speaking, he turned his eyes to Qi Zheng.

When Qi Zheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with heavy eyes: "Your Majesty, the concubines don't dare to say a word about this matter after the establishment, and the emperor still don't ask the concubines." ”

"Don't ask you who I should ask, I didn't believe you before, I'll give me a chance to believe in you today, but it's okay." Yuan Emperor Dao.

Qi Zheng smiled slightly, and said lightly: "As the younger sister of Brother Aqi, the concubine naturally hopes that the emperor can promise the queen mother to fulfill her brother and Jiayi, but as the emperor's concubine, she hopes that the emperor can choose a virtuous queen to take care of **, Concubine Hui is not a suitable person." ”

Emperor Yuan smiled and looked at Qi Zheng: "Didn't you say it as if you didn't say it?" Anyway, why don't you have the same dilemma as me. ”

"The concubine sees that the emperor is destined to be sleepless tonight, and the emperor can think of what to use to relieve his worries, and he can make a decision from it." Qi Zheng said with a smile.

Emperor Yuan thought for a while: "I don't know about this, what do you have in mind?" ”

"Play chess." Qi Zheng said, looking at Emperor Yuan's somewhat surprised expression, and replied: "Playing chess can make people calm down, and there are many times when there are two sides of the dilemma in the chess game, and you can't keep it there if you play here, but who is better to take, it depends on which chess piece has the greatest benefit." ”

"It's a good idea, so let's play all night tonight, okay?" Emperor Yuan asked with a smile.

Qi Zheng bowed slightly. Emperor Yuan brought the chessboard and put it in the center of the bed, and the two sat on the bed, falling the chess pieces in their hands one by one.

"It can be seen that Qizheng is good at chess, and you should teach Wenyue well when you go back." Emperor Yuan said with a smile.

Qi Zheng smiled indifferently: "Your Majesty, the concubine is stupid, how dare she teach Lan Jieyu, don't hide it from the emperor, since the concubine entered the palace, it is the first time to touch this game of chess." ”

The night was dark, the fire and candles in the Zhaoxuan Hall were still bright, and the chess case was game after game, and the two of them frowned deeply, quietly thinking about countermeasures.

As the sky gets brighter, the more tired the kite.

"It's almost dawn, don't go down, go to sleep." Emperor Yuan said softly, put the chessboard back on the table, and fell asleep.

"Is the master awake?"

After a long time, the voice of Qingchu in Qizheng's ears, opened his hazy eyes, looked at Qingchu in front of him, and closed his eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

"Master, the emperor came back early, but he waited for the master to get up in the outer hall and waited for a long time, is the master still sleeping?"

"What, isn't it, why didn't the emperor go back to Qianning Palace to sleep peacefully last night, and he still has the spirit to wait for ......." Qi Zheng said in a daze.

"Qizheng, are you awake, wake up, let's go to Ciye Palace." Emperor Yuan walked into the dormitory and stood by the bed and said.

Qing Chu hurriedly stepped aside to wait.

"Your Majesty, aren't you sleepy at all?" Qi Zheng lay on the bed, sleepy-eyed, and said slowly.

Emperor Yuan laughed: "Do you think everyone is like you, and you will be sleepy like this if you don't sleep all night." ”

"Stop, don't forget, the emperor doesn't sleep for one night, it's two nights." Qi Zheng complained.

"yes, I almost forgot, okay, you sleep a little longer, I'll be waiting for you outside." Emperor Yuan said.

Qi Zheng rubbed his eyes, looked at Emperor Yuan and said, "Don't be, let's get up, how dare the concubines delay the emperor's affairs." ”

"It's good to know." Emperor Yuan smiled faintly, turned around and walked a few steps, and said, "Hurry up, I don't want to stay in Ciye Palace for lunch." With that, he walked out.

Qizheng stood up and slowly spit out, "Got it." ”

Liu Yi, Lan'er, Qingchu was busy helping Qizheng change clothes and makeup, and after everything was done, Qizheng walked to the outer hall, Emperor Yuan stood in the center of the hall and looked at the door, turned to look at Qizheng, and said, "Let's go." ”

Qi Zheng nodded, and was about to walk out of the door with Emperor Yuan, when he saw someone slowly walking outside the hall, and stopped walking.

Wen Yue walked up to the two of them and saluted: "The concubine greets the emperor." ”

Qi Zheng owed a debt and lowered his eyes.

"Excuse me, Yue'er, why did you get here?" Yuan Emperor Dao.

Wen Yue glanced at Qi Zheng and said with a smile: "The concubine heard that the emperor was here with my sister last night, so I came here this morning to say goodbye, where are the emperor and my sister going?" ”

"I have something to do with Qizheng, Yue'er, you go back first, and I'll go over to see you when I'm done." Emperor Yuan said, and walked out of the Zhaoxuan Hall quickly, followed by Qi Zheng.

Walking in the corridor, Qi Zheng was puzzled, so he looked at Emperor Yuan and asked, "The emperor has an answer in his heart?" ”

Emperor Yuan didn't speak, just nodded.

When Qi Zheng heard this, he was curious: "Then why did the emperor want his concubines to go together." ”

Emperor Yuan sighed and said lightly: "No, I don't have a bottom in my heart, I'm afraid that I will suddenly change my mind in front of the queen mother." ”

"What is the emperor's decision?" Qi Zheng asked with heavy eyes.

Emperor Yuan turned his eyes to Qi Zheng and said lightly: "I can't tell you yet, I'm afraid that you will also make me change my mind." ”

"Since this is the case, the concubine believes that the emperor's decision must be right." Qi Zheng smiled faintly.

Walking to the door of Ciye Palace, looking at the three big characters in front of the palace gate, Emperor Yuan and Qizheng both stopped, standing quietly in front of the door, Emperor Yuan glanced at Qizheng slightly, suddenly took Qizheng's hand, and slowly walked forward.

The sudden warmth of his palms, his cheeks reddened, and he wondered in his mind, 'Is this me comforting him, or is he comforting me?' Unconsciously under the traction of Emperor Yuan, he walked into the Ciye Palace, and noticed the strange eyes and faint muttering around him, Qi Zheng came back to his senses, looked at the people standing on both sides, and then looked at the hands that Emperor Yuan and himself were clasping, and was shocked.

"See the Emperor." The concubines sitting on both sides of the hall got up and saluted.

"No courtesy." Emperor Yuan said, slowly let go of his hand, and saluted the queen mother in the palace: "The sons and daughters see the queen mother." "Qi Zheng also owes with Yingying.

The Queen Mother glanced at Qi Zheng, then looked at Emperor Yuan and said with a smile: "Why does the emperor have time to come early in the morning to say goodbye to the mourning family." ”

The son wanted to ask the queen mother if what the queen mother said yesterday was true. Emperor Yuan said lightly.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "The mourning family is the Queen Mother, and she is as golden-mouthed as the emperor, and what she says naturally counts." ”

Emperor Yuan looked at the people around him and said in a calm voice: "Okay, since everyone is here, then I will say that I am determined to make Concubine Hui Wang Mi the queen, and let the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs handle it." After speaking, he pulled the kite and turned around and walked towards the temple gate.

"Concubine Xie Zhu Longen." Behind her, Concubine Hui's voice was overjoyed.

Emperor Yuan stopped, closed his eyes, tightened the hands of the two, and hurriedly pulled Qizheng out of Ciye Palace, and walked into the palace road, his steps gradually slowed down.

Emperor Yuan turned to look at Qi Zheng and said lightly: "Okay, I'm going to see Lan Jieyu, go back and rest, I won't bother you." After speaking, he let go of his hand and walked towards the depths of the palace road.

Qi Zheng was stunned in place, there was no warmth, the cold hit, the cold was still cold, looking at the back of Emperor Yuan's gradual distant, his eyes were confused with tears, and his mouth was muttering: "Don't bother me, do you mean that you won't come?" Fu Qizheng, you are so stupid, what were you looking forward to just now, and now what are you missing, his heart will not be yours, it will never be, last night and this morning, just as you said, a strange road will always be a strange road. He closed his eyes deeply, looked up at the sky again, and whispered to himself: "The sky is so big, it can accommodate thousands of birds, just like the emperor who has the rivers and mountains of Daning, how dare he expect his heart to accommodate me, everything is just wishful thinking." I couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked at the layers of palaces, and slowly walked forward......
