Chapter 163: Calling the Shots

Yun Kexin's previous "chatting and laughing" relationship with the prince in the Imperial Garden was gone, and her beautiful face showed anxiety.

"Junhou, I don't know," Yun Kexin frowned, "On the one hand, I miss the friendship with the crown prince, and on the other hand, I am afraid that the people in the palace will look at it, cause misunderstandings, and even be taken advantage of." ”

"Then next time, if the prince wants to summon him again, Kexin can be said to be sick." Feng Yinxiao came up with an idea.

"I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime," Yun Kexin said annoyedly, "Now the prince treats me as the only person he can speak, if I can't say I'm sick, he will definitely go to the house to visit him, this, I don't want to do this." ”

Feng Yinxiao thought of marrying again, and let Yun Kexin become his own person immediately, the prince might have some scruples, but when he thought of his agreement with her, he instantly closed Wei Qi's thin lips.

"Junhou, or," Yun Kexin racked her brains to think of a compromise solution, "Find an opportunity for me to tell the prince about the situation." ”

"Say what?" Feng Yinxiao cast a confused and dazed look.

"It's not good to tell the prince that he and I have frequent contacts," Yun Kexin walked forward on her own, saying as she walked, "Analyze the stakes with him." ”

"Do you think Your Highness will listen?" The wind whispered, and her eyebrows furrowed.

In his impression, the crown prince Qin Ke is very assertive and doesn't care much about other people's "gossip", which is still good for a person's temperament, but with his current identity it is a big taboo, because the more such a person, the easier it is for political enemies to grasp the handle, and the acquaintance with Zhen'er to the point of forced separation is enough to prove this.

"I'll do my best," Yun Kexin stopped and said to the wind, "If nothing happens, I can only hide." ”

Feng Yinxiao nodded understandingly: "No matter what method Kexin uses, remember to keep a distance from the prince, and I can also mediate between them." ”

Yun Kexin smiled bitterly: Why didn't she know that she had to keep a distance from the prince, if it weren't for this incident, she wouldn't have appeared, making it very likely that she would be in a stalemate and be in a dilemma.

"Kexin, I'll send you home......" Feng Yinxiao looked at the distressed Yun Kexin, and her mood instantly fell, but she comforted her with a smile.

One night a few days later, in the brightly lit East Palace, the Queen Mother summoned the crown prince, and Qin Ke obeyed the order.

"The queen knocks on the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother is blessed with Jin'an." Qin Ke half-knelt down and saluted.

"Flat," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "Our ancestors and grandchildren don't have to be formal. ”

"Grandmother Xie." Qin Ke got up, straightened his sleeves slightly, and took a few steps closer with a smile.

The Queen Mother looked at the grandson in front of her, who was becoming more and more heroic as she grew older, and her eyes were full of love.

Qin Ke felt that the emperor's grandmother's smile was a little different from the past recently, and he was about to ask, but the queen mother said slowly and tactfully:

"Has your grandson been in a better mood lately?"

"Much better," Qin Ke smiled lightly, "Grandmother Xie is concerned." ”

"Ke'er, you must not resent your father and mother," the Queen Mother smiled for a moment, and said with a solemn face, "They are also for the sake of Taihe's decades of foundation, as the crown prince, you must not violate the rules of the court, you know?" ”

Qin Ke was reluctant and could only resign himself to his fate and said: "What the imperial grandmother taught is that the grandson wrote it down." At the same time, he guessed in his heart that the Queen Mother would not intercede for any foreign minister, because after the incident with Zhen'er, he had released cruel words to find out the "old thing" that caused Zhen'er's death, thinking of this, Qin Ke's lowered eyes instantly became gloomy.

"Don't talk about this," the Queen Mother didn't mean to talk about these unpleasant things when she summoned the prince today, so she immediately changed the conversation and said with a smile, "Ke'er, you have reached the right age, and you should have made the crown princess a long time ago." ”

Qin Ke sneered in his heart: I don't know which force is the representative of the force who came to propose marriage to the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother's gentle voice to come from above:

"Ke'er, the mourning family heard that the seventh lady of the Eguo Mansion is good, do you want to meet it?"

Qin Ke raised his head suddenly, his face was stunned, and he shouted softly: "Imperial grandmother......"

The Queen Mother saw that Qin Ke was just surprised, but she didn't look displeased, so she let go and said:

"The mourning family has sent someone to inquire," the queen mother didn't mention what she saw in the imperial garden that day, and said with a smile, "This seventh lady's name is Yun Kexin, and she is the daughter of Yun Tianyang, my courtier's servant in the criminal department. ”

"Imperial grandmother, I," Qin Ke looked a little flustered, he never thought that the Queen Mother would hit Yun Kexin with her idea, and he was speechless for a while, and because of the sweetness that quietly flowed in his heart, he didn't know how Miss Seven would react, he searched his stomach and choked out a sentence, "But, Imperial Grandmother, maybe Miss Seven is married." ”

Qin Ke's mind flashed Yun Kexin's cute demeanor of "quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit", you can listen silently like gentle water, or you can laugh with optimism and cheerfulness, how can such a woman not be heartwarming? !

The Queen Mother saw that the crown prince Qin Ke did not have the "cold as frost" or "indifference" that she had when it came to the canonization of the crown princess in the past, on the contrary, his handsome face was "unprecedented" with a touch of redness, like shame, and seemed to acquiesce, and she became more and more convinced of her "what she saw and heard", so the queen mother encouraged while the iron was hot:

"Ke'er, you have no fate with Miss Zhen'er, which the imperial grandmother also regrets, and now, there is finally a woman who is comparable to Zhen'er or even much higher, why don't you meet?" The Queen Mother paused slightly, noticing that although the prince was silent, he did not show the slightest confrontation, and continued, "Don't worry, the prince can rest assured, if you fall in love this time, whatever the imperial grandmother says will help you achieve your wish, and there will never be a situation like Miss Zhen'er again." ”

In the final analysis, the queen mother still loves Qin Ke, the emperor's grandson, in her heart, and has infinite high hopes for him, so as long as it is not against the court, she will think of helping him, in fact, she is also grateful to Miss Seven for persuading the prince to break off the idea of becoming a monk.

"But, Imperial Grandmother, grandson-" Qin Ke did not deny his appreciation and attachment to Yun Kexin, but if it was related to the canonization of the crown princess, he still wanted to hear her opinion, "Grandson wants to wait." ”

"What are you waiting for?" The Queen Mother asked angrily, and then smiled, "Ke'er only needs to pick a day to meet the Seventh Miss of the Eguo Mansion, if you nod, I will immediately let the emperor draft the holy decree." ”

"No, Imperial Grandmother, things are not what you imagined," Qin Ke didn't expect the Queen Mother to be more anxious than him, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, "Actually, Sun Er and Miss Seven have known each other for several years, but they are both petty feelings and former classmates, and they have lost contact for a long time...... Nothing. ”

The Queen Mother squinted: Sure enough, as rumors outside, they have known each other for a long time.

"Oh, nothing?" The Queen Mother showed a smile of "someone who has come over", "What is the matter with the prince and Miss Seven who have often met in the imperial garden and even gone out of the palace to look for it recently?" ”

Qin Ke was shocked again: I didn't expect that everything that happened for a while fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and there must have been other people in the palace who saw it. He was annoyed that he was too careless and forgot Yun Kexin's "advice".

"Oh, grandson is just, just catching up with Miss Seven, and letting her explain my thoughts for me," Qin Ke was stunned, and quickly reacted, "Nothing else, Imperial Grandmother-"

"Ke'er, don't lie to yourself," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "You need to go back and forth so often, and you can't help but leave the palace?" What haven't you seen when your imperial grandmother is so old? What haven't you experienced? She paused slightly, and when she saw that the prince wanted to defend again, she said, "I don't want to think about it, why I can't help but think about her from time to time, and I can't help but go to her, Ke'er, you are deeply involved and don't know it." ”

The Queen Mother's last sentence made Qin Ke stunned, his eyes widened, and he was short of words in an instant. He looked around uneasily.

"Imperial grandmother, no matter what, please promise your grandson," Qin Ke raised his eyes and said calmly, "Let me think about this in advance, don't rush to let my father make a holy decree, grandson begs you old man." ”

He was afraid to intimidate her, afraid that she would not be able to accept the promotion from friend to crown princess and disgusted with him, which was not what he wanted to see, he had to "take his time".

The Queen Mother looked at the prince with some confusion and dazedness: his affection for Miss Seven is obvious, but why is he so panicked and indecisive?!

"Okay, just rely on Ke'er," the Queen Mother decided not to force each other again, but with an inciting reminder, "give you some time to deal with it, but don't delay it for a long time." ”

"Grandmother Xie." Qin Ke breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to thank him.

However, although the queen mother promised the crown prince that she would not be in a hurry to let the emperor make a holy decree, she did not promise not to disclose the matter, at least she felt that the emperor and the empress should know about it. So the next day, the Queen Mother invited the emperor and empress to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.

After meeting and saluting, the Queen Mother went straight to the topic and said:

"Emperor, Empress, have you noticed the change in the crown prince?"

"After returning to my mother, I noticed," the emperor sitting next to the queen mother replied first, "this child finally stopped arguing and wanted to become a monk, it was really panicked before, hey......"

"That's it, I didn't expect Ke'er to think about it so quickly," the queen who was on the side of the queen mother said respectfully, "I was really worried that this kid would be confused and do something stupid, but now it's okay." ”

The so-called "person" in the queen's mouth refers to Zhen'er: she has long been resentful of this commoner woman, thinking that Zhen'er is nothing but "charming" the prince, but in fact, it is only because the queen has a candidate for the crown princess in her heart. R1152
