Su Yuanyi nodded in response, and there was no expression on his face.

Hearing this, the queen's face was not very good-looking, and Shen Qingyi was also a little stunned.

Do the math, Shen Qingyi has been married into the Yi Wangfu for two years, but there is no movement in her stomach at all, but among Su Yuanyi's heirs, at least one son must have a prominent biological mother before he can inherit the throne of the son.

Emperor Zhongzheng is talking about the heirs now, that is, the Shen family is dissatisfied with the emperor's will to be Su Yuanyi's concubine, and they have nothing to say!

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, staring at Su Wanqing, who had a calm face under the lights, feeling more and more unpleasant.

Seeing that the queen was displeased, the eighth prince couldn't help but smile, "Father is right, the fifth brother should also use some thought when he accepts such a side concubine." ”

The queen's expression darkened, and there was a bit of contempt in her tone of hidden anger, and she said with deep meaning: "The eighth child is still young after all, and he still doesn't understand the truth that his son-in-law is precious. ”

The eighth prince hooked his lips slightly, bowed his head and did not answer.

Only then did the queen come back to her senses, consciously lost her words, and subconsciously looked at Emperor Zhongzheng's expression.

Su Wanqing looked in her eyes from beginning to end, and quietly raised her eyes to look at Emperor Zhongzheng.

When the world paid attention to the lineage, the queen was not wrong, and she was also vigilant about the identity of the concubine of the eighth prince in a pun, but she neglected that Emperor Zhongzheng was also a concubine, not a concubine. Now mentioning the humility of the bloodline in front of Emperor Zhongzheng is tantamount to implying that his throne is not coming from the right way.

Emperor Zhongzheng was concentrating on scooping the plate of eight-treasure steamed eggs in front of him, his face was the same as usual, I don't know if he didn't pay attention to the conversation or didn't care.

Seeing this, the fourth prince smiled comfortably, "What the queen mother taught is that there should be a distinction between relatives and relatives, otherwise it will be difficult for the fifth brother to make a choice between two beautiful women, and it will be a headache to think about." ”

"Why do I sound like the fourth brother has a deep understanding, don't you feel it?" The sixth prince put down his wine glass and teased.

All of a sudden, there was a low laugh in the hall, and the subtle atmosphere just now was swept away in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Yuguan walked into the palace maid who slipped into the dish and drew everyone's attention back.

The princes began to talk about recent trivial matters, and the princesses listened to their conversations greedily because they were still living in the palace and had not been out of the palace many times. Su Wanqing didn't really want to talk to anyone, so she just concentrated on eating.

The feast went on in harmony.

When the food was almost finished, the Eighth Emperor stood up from his seat and waved towards Emperor Zhongzheng, "Father." ”

Emperor Zhongzheng stopped his chopsticks and turned his head to look at him.

The expression of the eighth prince was rare and serious, "Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the sons dare to ask their father for a favor." ”

"Say."

The eighth prince lowered his head, "The son begs his father to allow the seventh brother to return to Beijing for the New Year." ”

Speaking of the Seventh Prince, King Yang, although Su Wanqing had never seen it, she was also very impressed.

This Yang Wang is the elder brother of the Eight Emperors' mother, and it is rumored that his temperament is unruly and untamed, which can be described as a model of deviance.

Until two years ago, King Yang didn't know what mistake he had made, and finally provoked Emperor Zhongzheng to be angry, and he ruthlessly drove him to the Northwest Pass despite everyone's pleas.

Sure enough, as soon as King Yang was mentioned, Emperor Zhongzheng, who had a gentle face just now, suddenly changed his expression, and asked with a calm face: "What, did Lao Qi come to trust you to intercede?" ”

The eighth prince raised his head nervously, "No, this is what Erchen himself meant." ”

"He doesn't dare!" Emperor Zhongzheng's still calm face slowed down a little, and he reprimanded: "Why don't you know the severity, the northwest has not been peaceful or there is a war recently, the old Qijian has been on the border for many years, and he should also be allowed to fight and train, and hone his untamed temperament, this is what I said in the court during the day!" ”

Emperor Zhongzheng drank like this, and the eighth prince was shocked, and he was silent for a long time without answering.

Seeing this, the sixth prince frowned, and then got up, "Father, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and I am afraid that the seventh brother will be injured if the sword has no eyes." ”

"What the sixth brother said is reasonable, the seventh brother is not copper-skinned and iron-clad, where can he block the sword?" A princess couldn't help but get up and plead.

The third prince, who has always been kind, hesitated for a moment and stood up, knelt on the ground and bowed: "The father and emperor want the seventh brother to gallop across the field, and it will not hinder the return to Beijing for the New Year's Day, after all, the seventh brother has not returned to Beijing for more than two years, if something happens......"

Emperor Zhongzheng looked at a few people and waved his hand impatiently, "He is a strong man, why is he afraid of life and death!" ”

Everyone at the table saw that Emperor Zhongzheng was so reacting, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

There was a commotion in the hall for a moment, and a tall shadow covered Su Wanqing, she turned her head sideways, and it was Su Yuanyi who also stood up.

Su Yuanyi bowed, and a little earnestness could be heard in his flat tone, "I hope that my father will see the sincere feelings of the Qing concubine and the mother, and allow the seventh brother to return to Beijing." ”

That's right, I'm in a heart!

Thinking of this, all the princes were a little more sure in their hearts.

"Father, the mother miss the seventh brother, so that she can't sleep peacefully every night, and I hope that the father will open up the net and allow the seventh brother to return to Beijing for a few days." The Eighth Prince hurriedly followed.

"I hope my father will allow it!" Plopped, and knelt down in the hall.

Emperor Zhongzheng looked at the scene in front of him and did not speak, pondered for a long time, sighed and said, "What are you doing here!" ”

"I hope my father will allow it!" The sixth prince said again.

Emperor Zhongzheng closed his eyes, waved his sleeves to let them get up, and his helpless expression revealed a bit of hatred for iron and steel, "It's okay, it's a shame that you still think about that shaft!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" The faces of the people were already full of joy, and they saluted in unison before they sat back.

Su Wanqing looked at Emperor Zhongzheng, then looked at everyone, and pondered.

The feast lasted until late at night.

On this night, a guest was welcomed in the Gyeonggi Jail.

In the darkness, the dim lights flickered and flickered, decorating the cold prison with more and more gloom.

"There's a step in the shadows ahead, be careful." The jailer bowed down and led the way with a kerosene lamp in his hand, occasionally reminding the man behind him.

"Hmm." The man whispered, following unhurriedly.

After passing the second checkpoint, the Gyeonggi Prison is the most heavily guarded prison in Kyoto, and after passing through the second checkpoint, they pass through a narrow passage and finally stop outside a cell surrounded by a wooden fence.
