The Imperial Study.

"Princess, it's so late and you haven't rested yet?" Chang Gonggong asked with a smile.

"Didn't my father rest too?" said Princess Changle, "I personally stewed a bowl of lotus seed and lily soup for my father. ”

Father-in-law Chang knew that His Majesty loved this princess the most, and he also knew that His Majesty was in a bad mood at the moment, but he was afraid that only the princess could persuade him, so he didn't dare to stop him, and said with a smile: "Princess, please, Your Majesty is in a bad mood at this time, and the princess will talk more with Your Majesty." ”

Changle nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”

She entered with the soup, and only Emperor Xuan was burying the first batch of reading chapters, and the candles on both sides were a little dim, and he didn't notice it.

I don't know when this man who is the most martial in his mind has gray hair and wrinkles. His energy is not as strong as before, and his back is not as straight as before, but the majesty on his body is increasing with age, and often a look is enough to make people frightened.

Hearing the footsteps, Emperor Xuan raised his eyes a little impatiently, and when he saw Changle entering, he stretched his eyebrows and smiled: "It's so late, why don't you fall asleep?"

"Father also knows that it's getting late, isn't it also the same as not sleeping?" Changle walked in and said with a smile.

"How can I be the same as you, I am the king of a country, and I can't slack off for half a day. Emperor Xuan put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, "You are a girl, you are my little princess, don't work hard, be obedient, go back and rest early." ”

"The son stewed lotus seed and lily soup for his father, and gave it to his father to calm his nerves. Changle said with a smile, "After my father has eaten, his son will go back to sleep." The son gave his father a taste. ”

Changle said that he tasted a mouthful of lotus seed and lily soup, nodded and appreciated: "It's not Erchen bragging, Erchen's craftsmanship is becoming more and more proficient, sweet but not greasy, especially delicious, my father tastes it." ”

"Do you boast of yourself so much?" Emperor Xuan smiled kindly, took it, took two sips, and nodded, "It's a lot of progress!"

"Father is still angry?" Changle glanced at Emperor Xuan's face and asked, "That Qi Zitai is not a thing, he dares to disobey the holy decree, he should be dragged out immediately and beheaded." ”

Emperor Xuan put the bowl down and glanced at the quirky little princess: "You are here to intercede for him?"

"I can't hide anything from my father's eyes!" Changle said with a smile, "Although Mi Zi's sin is unforgivable, but all of this is because of Erchen, who has known him for so many years, he can't let him be convicted just because Erchen said a word, so Erchen will be uneasy in his heart." Besides, he is the prince of Southern Chu, after the snow melts in spring, I am afraid that the war with Western Wei will start, and then Southern Chu is very important, and there can be no suspicion between him and Southern Chu at this time. ”

"He has wronged you, and I will not be able to spare him. Emperor Xuan said coldly, "This stinky boy, if you dare to embarrass you in public, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"

"The son knows that his father loves the son. Changle rubbed Emperor Xuan's shoulder, "It's just that now is not the time to be rash, the sons and daughters can understand, why doesn't the father understand! Besides, the sons are so good, he refuses to marry me, it is his loss, this is already his biggest punishment." And the father ......"

Changle suddenly choked up and hugged Emperor Xuan from behind: "Erchen misses his mother." ”

Emperor Xuan patted Changle's hand and comforted him.

"Erchen has almost forgotten the appearance of his mother, the voice of his mother, Erchen feels sorry for her, father, do you remember your mother?"

"Come with me. Emperor Xuan got up as he spoke, and pressed a mechanism next to the bookshelf, which opened from the middle to both sides, forming a secret door, and inside was a secret room.

He picked up a candlestick, motioned for Changle to come in with him, entered the secret room, he put the candlestick down, and walked to a half-person-high blue and white porcelain vase, which contained several scrolls, he selected it, and then took it to Changle's front and slowly unfolded it.

In the painting, a woman in red, wearing a bearded suit, has extremely bright facial features, an extremely cheerful smile, and a heroic posture, like the warmest sunshine in summer.

"It's ...... Mother Princess?" Changle rubbed the person in the painting carefully, his eyes a little moist.

"I painted this painting with my own hands, and I came to see it when I didn't think about her. Emperor Xuan said, "It has been so many years since she died, and her eyebrows are still very clear in my mind. ”

"Actually, when the son came over, there was another thing I wanted to tell my father, the son was willing to marry to the Western Regions. Changle said, "I want to go to the place where the mother lives and protect the people she wants to protect for the mother." ”

She raised her eyes, looked at Emperor Xuan with a firm gaze, and then said: "Also, I also want to protect the rivers and mountains of Northern Xia. I marry in the Western Regions, I can help my father watch there, I can provide my father with horses and iron tools, my son is a princess, and my son is willing to complete his mission!"

"You are the princess I grew up with, how can I bear to let you marry far away?" Emperor Xuan sighed heavily, "Northern Xia is the overlord of the Central Plains, the Western Wei is just hitting the stone with an egg, and the Western Regions does not dare to move, how can I let a princess reconcile?"

Changle smiled: "It's not a kiss, it's also Erchen's own wish." Erchen is not willing to be a canary in the palace, and Erchen wants to be an eagle with wings. The father and emperor have fulfilled the wishes of the sons, as for Mi Zi, let him be locked up in the prison for a while, and the sons are still angry in their hearts!"

Tonight's sleepless people are destined to be many.

Yun Guifei hadn't encountered such a headache for her for a long time.

When she entered the palace, she was just a small nobleman, step by step, except for one opponent after another, and now she is in charge of the harem, but she didn't expect to capsize on this small birthday banquet.

There was a chill in her originally tender eyes, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, no one wanted to stand in her way!

If he dares to do something under her nose, since he has made a move, he will inevitably leave a handle, as long as he catches this tail, how can His Majesty let him go?

It's just that the Queen Mother has always been at odds with her, and she has been careful all these years, taking the birthday banquet to say, it is useless, and if it is smashed, it will be guilty. Last time, because of the little slut of Furui, she had already given up a lot of face, and the Queen Mother saw it in her eyes, and this time she was afraid that she would step on it again.

This old woman, thoughtful, very spicy, Your Majesty is filial, and it is difficult to deal with, she originally planned to boil her to death, but now the battle for the throne is gradually becoming fierce, and this old woman is silently supporting King Qi behind her back, thinking that she has to take some measures.
