Empress Xie's face changed, but she quickly calmed down: "What did they say? Could it be that someone really dares to chew his tongue in front of the emperor? It seems that the people around the emperors should clean up. ”

The emperor looked at his wife's expression and sighed: "I really don't understand what the queen is thinking now. Of course, there are people outside who say some boring things, but our own family knows our own affairs, what is the temperament of the imperial brother and Zhen'er, you know very well in your heart, why do you still listen to the words of outsiders, in vain to ruin the feelings of your own family? Zhen'er has never been rude in front of you and me, and the two emperors are also very loving, and when they grow up in the future, they support each other, isn't it a good thing? Zhen'er is both civil and military, and has been smart since childhood, if he assists Dalang, you and I can rest assured in the future. ”

When Empress Xie heard this, her expression suddenly became gloomy: "What the emperor said is not right!" Our Da Lang is as smart as he is, with the emperor's teachings, he will definitely be able to be an emperor in the future, why do you need the assistance of others? ! Could it be that without Gao Zhen, our Dalang would not be the emperor?! ”

The emperor's expression was clear, and he said lightly: "You are annoyed by Zhen'er for this kind of thing?" ”

The queen also knew that there was no point in covering it up at this time, so she simply spread it out and said: "Yes, the concubine is really annoyed. As the mother of the two emperors, the concubine watched the emperor study hard every day, and she understood more and more things, and became more and more excellent, and she didn't know how happy she was! But those gentlemen...... There are also people in the Empress Dowager's palace, they will only say how smart and outstanding Gao Zhen was when he was the emperor's grandson in the past. How much our emperor can't do - it's just a fart! ”

Xie is the daughter of Bofu, born in a martial arts family, and his speech and deeds are not as gentle as the ladies of the scholarly family. Sometimes her temper comes up, and she can say foul words, but at this time, her anger is in full swing, so she naturally can't take care of it: "Gao Zhen has lost his identity as the emperor's grandson, how can he ever read seriously?!" At that time, he was not as old as Da Lang is now, how could his homework be even better than Da Lang is now?! Aren't these words at the behest of your good royal brother? Which of those Taifu has no friendship with him? Or the Queen Mother is eccentric, and the people below look at it. also followed the high and low?! But who are they stepping on? Why do you have to step on my emperor? Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to put our emperor aside and ask you to make Gao Zhen the crown prince, so as to compensate her poor eldest son who lost the throne?! ”

The emperor frowned: "Empress! You have to speak carefully. How can you blame your mother? The queen mother just pities Zhen'er for losing her mother at a young age, so she cares more, how can she mess up her proportions? Brother Huang and Zhen'er are not the kind of people you think they are! Someone is talking nonsense down there, you are the queen. Command the six houses. Just kick them out. If the princes are doing something wrong, you can also sue me, and I will replace the emperor's masters. You can't do it in a dignified manner, but instead slander the innocent royal brother and Zhen'er, not only do you hold a grudge, but also talk nonsense in front of the emperors, do you think you are doing the right thing? Is this what a queen should do?! ”

Xie sneered: "Your Majesty is disgusted with me?" That's right, the concubine is old. is already old, where can I compare to the young girls. The ministers of the court persuaded the emperor to take concubines all day long. It's good to spread the branches for the royal family, and behind her back, she doesn't say that the concubine is a jealous woman and doesn't know the general situation. The concubine was really terrified. Rather than let the emperor one day dislike the concubines who don't know how to act as a good wife, it is better to be smart, Ming'er will pass the order, and order the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the draft. The anniversary of the first emperor has passed, although the ancients said that the father should be filial piety for three years, but that is to the common people, the family of the Son of Heaven does not have such rules, and it is enough to keep a hundred days, not to mention that the emperor has been guarding for a year? It's a pity that so many palaces in the harem are empty, just a few more concubines, and the palace is also lively. I just don't know what kind of girl the emperor likes? Is she a lady from a famous scholarly family? Or is it the daughter of Jiangmen? Or a small jasper ......"

"That's enough!" The Emperor stood up angrily, "How did you become so unruly now? It's obvious that you did something wrong, and you still forced yourself to quibble, and you will pull the matter to the concubine in three or two sentences - I don't mean to take a concubine at all, I have already said it countless times, how many times do you have to repeat it?! With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Queen Xie didn't get up to see her off, she stared at the tea bowl on the table at hand, and suddenly waved her hand to throw it to the ground, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

How can men be trusted? In the past, when he was still the king of Le'an, she felt that with her family background, she should be able to control him, so he said that he would not take concubines, and she believed it. But now, he is already the king of a country, even if he doesn't say anything, the people around him are also persuading him to take a concubine, any woman in the palace with a flat head and a straight face dares to show off in front of him, and she can't stop it. When she was Princess Le'an, she prevented her husband from accepting a child, but she was said to be a jealous woman, but as the queen, she was a sinner if she prevented the emperor from accepting a concubine. When she got up early every morning and saw the palace people waiting for her around her, she felt that everyone looked at her like this; went to the Queen Mother's palace to ask for peace, and the Queen Mother's eyes when she looked at her also hinted at this; The princes are so harsh on her royal son, why aren't they beating her mother? Even if she met her father and brother once, they were all persuading her to be generous - she was about to go crazy!

She won't budge! This husband is hers and belongs only to her! Whether she is a princess or a queen, she doesn't want someone to rob her! The throne is also her son's, and no one wants to snatch it away. If anyone dares to rob it, she will never let him have a good time! What if there is the queen mother and the emperor to protect them? She is a righteous queen, her emperor is a righteous prince, and when her emperor ascends the throne, who can disobey her?!

The emperor didn't know what kind of determination the queen had just made, he left the palace in anger, and the two princes had already heard the movement and greeted him, with a worried face: "Father, did you quarrel with the queen mother?" The Emperor touched the heads of his two sons and sighed and said nothing.

The second son of the emperor said angrily: "Is it because of Brother Zhen again?" Why does he always want his father to blame his mother?! The eldest son of the emperor was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at the emperor: "Father, is it true?" ”

The emperor's heart jumped, and he hurriedly smiled: "What does it have to do with your brother Zhen?" Your queen mother is jealous again. I repeatedly said that I would not accept a concubine, but she just didn't believe it, and she was blindly noisy, which was really a headache. You can let her go, and when she understands it, she will come to accompany her father. "This is how they get along with each other, but in the past year, the number of quarrels has increased a lot more than in the past.

The two princes didn't seem to understand, the emperor was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to continue to talk to his sons, so he casually told him a few words and left.

He was in a heavy mood, and he didn't know where to go, so he wandered back to the Qianqing Palace boredly. Hungry in his belly, he could only order the attendants to go to the imperial dining room to bring some food to satisfy their hunger, just after eating, Cining Palace came, and the Queen Mother wanted to see him.

When the emperor came to Cining Palace, King Guangping had already left, and the Queen Mother had just finished reciting a round of scriptures in front of the Buddha, beckoning the emperor to sit down in the tea room, and sent the people who were waiting.

The emperor knew that the Queen Mother had something to say to him, so he admitted his mistake first: "Zhen'er's injury was caused by his son's carelessness." The son has been ordered to be carefully diagnosed and treated by the hospital, Zhen'er will get better soon, don't worry about the queen mother. ”

The Queen Mother nodded lightly: "I'm not worried about Zhen'er, I'm just worried about you." Emperor, but the queen lost her temper with you again today? ”

The emperor laughed dryly, knowing that his mother had been a concubine in the palace for many years, and her mastery of the harem was far better than that of his wife, who had just become the lord of the six palaces for less than a year. He hurriedly defended Xie's: "It's just a little quarrel, and the queen mother also understands that this has always been the case between our husband and wife, just like a little ...... of love."

The Queen Mother interrupted the emperor's words: "The emperor doesn't have to coax me, I not only know that she lost her temper, but also why she lost her temper." I've just said a few times, Zhen'er lost his mother at a young age, and he has to take care of his blind father, it is not easy at a young age, so let you take care of him more and give him more good things. This also hinders the queen's eyes, I know that it is not easy for her to always pretend to be a filial daughter-in-law in front of people, in fact, I don't know how many times I have complained about my partiality behind my back! She complained that I was not as good as Zhen'er for her three children, but she didn't want to think about it, her two sons and one daughter were the treasures of the people in the palace, who didn't protect them? What does Zhen'er have? If I don't ask a few words, I'm afraid that even a random palace person can give him a look, why can't I be partial?! ”

The emperor was dumbfounded, and could only bow his head and remain silent.

The Queen Mother said angrily, her mood calmed down a little, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she looked at her youngest son: "I didn't know that you still had the blessings of the Ninety-Five, and when I chose a daughter-in-law for you, I just wanted to choose a woman with a good background, a prominent mother's family, who could protect you and add more furniture to you, so I didn't think about anything else." Xie's everything else is fine, it's just this temper ......" she paused, not wanting to elaborate, "I used to look at it, but as the days go by, I show timidity." If I had known that you had today, I should have chosen a virtuous and sensible daughter-in-law for you. ”

The emperor said, "Don't blame her, it's not easy for her. Over the years, she has been in harmony with her son, and the children she gave birth to are also very smart and likable. Zhen'er's matter, it turned out that someone said something in front of her that shouldn't be said, and she was anxious to protect her son, so she thought about it. The son will be able to free her. That day, her son was in distress in Jiangnan, and her life and death were uncertain, so she stubbornly protected the children in the East Palace until her son came back, and she didn't know how many grievances she suffered. The son was able to ascend the throne safely, and the Xie family also made great contributions. Now it's just a little quarrel, and it's gone after a while, where is it to the point where the queen mother said? ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "I know that you are protecting your daughter-in-law." Anyway, just in front of a few children, I don't bother to bother with her. But there is one thing, has the emperor ever thought about it? You will definitely make Da Lang the crown prince in the future, and when Da Lang ascends the throne in the future, she will be the queen mother. At that time, I am afraid that you and I will not be there, if she resents your royal brother and nephew, and has the intention to embarrass them, what should she do? ”

The Emperor fell silent. (To be continued......)
