Empress Ye ordered someone to prepare the imperial meal, and at the same time sent the eunuch to wait for the king of Chu outside the Jinluan Palace.

After the king of Chu dispersed, most of them would come to Yanfu Palace to accompany Queen Ye for dinner. It is rare for the emperor to come to Yanfu Palace today, which is the best opportunity to cultivate the relationship between father and son, of course, it cannot be missed.

Half an hour later, the king of Chu came to Yanfu Palace first.

Ye got up and was about to salute the King of Chu. The King of Chu had already stepped forward and held Ye's arm: "I haven't seen my aunt for many days, how is my aunt lately?" ”

In this way, it was inconvenient for the Ye family to salute anymore, so he simply stood up straight and responded with a smile: "I stay in the inner house all day to eat, drink and sleep, and I don't have to worry about the big things in the court, where will it be bad." ”

Queen Ye smiled and said: "Yes, I, the queen, worry about working all day long, where can I compare to your aunt's leisure." ”

Ye's smile froze.

The words "leisurely" stabbed Ye Shi's sore spot.

An Guogong is unwilling and does not dare to touch the side of the Ye family, his son refuses to return to the house all the year round, and the Ye family's life in the Anguo Mansion is very lonely. Isn't it just "leisurely"?

Empress Ye avenged the revenge just now, she was in a good mood, and she no longer provoked the Ye family, and asked King Chu with a smile: "Is there anything important at today's court meeting?" ”？

King Chu's eyes flashed, and he responded with a smile: "It's almost the end of the year, and it's not a big deal, it's all a matter of the six yamen." The third brother and Cousin Chen will return to Beijing soon, because the cousin has quelled the civil unrest, and the father Emperor Long is happy, and he praised his cousin at the court meeting. When my cousin comes back this time, there will definitely be a big reward. ”

In the past, the King of Chu would never be too careful. But. After knowing Chen Yuanzhao's life experience, his father's reconsideration of Chen Yuanzhao suddenly became a little more indescribable in his eyes.

If Chen Yuanzhao is also a serious prince. The Holy Dependents will never be weaker than King Qin!

King Qin relied on the virtuous name of Corporal Lixian who knew how to use people, but Chen Yuanzhao was good at leading troops in battle, and made great achievements, and was extremely prestigious in the army. At this point, whether it is King Qin and King Wei or himself, he is not as good as Chen Yuanzhao.

Thinking of this, a subtle feeling similar to jealousy swelled in King Chu's heart.

to the Ye family, who had an illegitimate child with his father. King Chu naturally didn't have a good feeling. However, as a prince, acting skills seem to be innate. The king of Chu hid the contempt and jealousy in his heart tightly, and chatted with the Ye family for a long time.

When the emperor came to Yanfu Palace, he saw this happy and harmonious scene.

The emperor smiled: "What are you talking about, chatting so happily?" ”

Everyone was shocked. Hurry up and salute.

The emperor is rarely in a good mood. smiled and waved his hand: "That's it, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite." ”

"The emperor is here, why don't you order anyone to say it." Queen Ye still had a somewhat sick look on her face, and her spirit was not bad: "I suddenly came in like this, which scared the concubines." ”

The emperor glanced at the smiling Ye family, and replied casually: "The queen is still sick, I came to visit the queen." Naturally, I didn't want any guard of honor, so as not to disturb the queen. ”

Empress Ye just didn't notice the emperor's frequent distractions. He replied with a touched face: "The emperor is so considerate, it is really a blessing for the concubine." ”

After the emperor asked a few words about Queen Ye's condition, he looked at Ye: "The queen is worried about becoming ill, lying on the bed all day long, and if she is not sick, she will be a little sick." If you have free time, you might as well go into the palace to talk to the queen. ”

Ye Shi smiled and replied.

Queen Ye was so angry in her heart!

What the emperor said is good! In fact, he just wanted the Ye family to enter the palace a few more times. frowned so much in front of her, and didn't even put her, the queen of the main wife, in his eyes.

In fact, this is also Queen Ye's heart disease and depression for many years, so she is so sensitive and angry.

The emperor is so old, and he has long faded to women, and he has rarely set foot in the harem in recent years. Even if the Ye family enters the palace, the emperor will just meet and say a few words.

In front of the King of Chu, the emperor was also a little more restrained than usual, and said a few words to the Ye family, and never involved each other in the conversation, only talking about Chen Yuanzhao: "Yuan Zhao has made military achievements this time, and after returning to Beijing, I must reward him well." ”

As soon as the emperor's golden mouth opened, it was much more weighty than what King Chu had just said.

Ye's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for the emperor's love." ”

The emperor subconsciously wanted to reach out and help Ye Shi, but fortunately, he regained his senses before his hand was stretched out, and retracted it in time: "Yuan Zhao is young and brave, and his military exploits are impressive, these are what he deserves." ”

The human psyche is delicate.

A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing.

For the emperor, the Ye family is undoubtedly the most colorful stroke in his life. The passionate love of his youth is unforgettable. The status of the Ye family in his heart is far better than that of the harem concubines and Queen Ye.

The mood for Chen Yuanzhao is even more complicated.

As the Son of Heaven, he admired loyal and powerful young generals. As a father, he is secretly proud of his son's excellence. Such emotions are mixed with a bit of apology and guilt.

All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined, which also makes Chen Yuanzhao occupy a special position in the emperor's heart, and even faintly surpasses King Qin.

Since the death of the crown prince, the emperor has often considered the question of who to appoint as the prince, although he belongs to the king of Qin, he can't help but secretly regret it in his heart.

If Chen Yuanzhao is not an illegitimate child, if Chen Yuanzhao also has the status of a prince, he is actually more suitable to be a prince than King Qin.

These secret thoughts were deeply pressed into the emperor's heart, and no one knew about them

After finishing lunch, the emperor stayed in Yanfu Palace for more than half an hour before leaving.

After the emperor left, the Ye family also got up to say goodbye.

Queen Ye was weak and inconvenient to send each other, so she ordered the King of Chu to give Ye a ride.

Soon, the king of Chu turned around.

Empress Ye's forced smile faded, and she sneered, "You also saw it with your own eyes today." Your father is very interested in Chen Yuanzhao's mother and son. Fortunately, Chen Yuanzhao's identity is not visible, otherwise, it is impossible to say who will do this throne wheel. ”

King Chu's expression was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with coldness: "Don't worry, the queen mother, I will secretly watch out for Chen Yuanzhao." ”

Empress Ye snorted, and asked in a low voice, "He and King Qin are about to arrive in the capital." What about the evidence of the assassination of the prince, did he secretly send people back to the capital? ”

King Chu's expression became more and more gloomy: "Half a month ago, I received a superstition sent back by Chen Yuanzhao, saying that I had found evidence and caught two live mouths. It's already been secretly sent to the capital. But I waited and waited, but I never waited. I don't know what went wrong. ”

Hearing this, Empress Ye couldn't help frowning: "Then what should I do now?" (To be continued......)
