The Queen Mother sat in the long pavilion of the Imperial Garden, she drank the tea in her hand leisurely, and she also looked at Xiang Hongxuan sitting not far from her from time to time, Xiang Hongxuan seemed to have something, he kept glancing at the entrance of the Imperial Garden, as if waiting for someone. Inadvertently, the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth rose slightly, leaking a weird smile.

"Your Majesty, looking around like this, it seems that you are waiting for someone, and the mourning family is pulling Your Majesty to enjoy flowers and tea in this imperial garden, I'm afraid it won't hinder Your Majesty, right?" The Queen Mother said nonchalantly.

"How so? Erchen can accompany his mother to drink tea and enjoy flowers, which is the blessing of Erchen. After speaking, Xiang Hongxuan immediately walked to the side of the Queen Mother, and began to rub the Queen Mother's shoulders with a hippie smile, and the Queen Mother's face immediately burst into laughter.

"Oh, your majesty, you're afraid that you'll tear up the old bones of the mourning family."

As he spoke, Xiang Hongxi slowly walked into the imperial garden, and when he saw that the queen mother was also there, he couldn't help frowning.

"The sons and daughters greet the queen mother, and the royal brother asks for peace." But soon, Xiang Hongxi appeared in front of the Queen Mother and Xiang Hongxuan with a smile on his face.

"King Duan hasn't been to the palace of the mourning family for a while, and I haven't seen you enter the palace, but I don't come to see the mourning family, and the emotional King Duan still has a deep relationship with your royal brother, and I'm afraid that the queen mother is just talking about it."

"How can there be a queen mother, I am afraid that my unstable temperament will collide with the queen mother, so I went to the palace of the queen mother. I'll walk around your palace more when I turn around, don't bother me. Xiang Hongxi quickly explained.

Although Xiang Hongxuan always spoke rudely to him, and often threatened him when he was fine, Xiang Hongxi knew in his heart that Xiang Hongxuan still had a brotherhood, but the Queen Mother was different, Concubine Pingshu had told him before, you will never know what calculations are hidden under the smiling face of the Queen Mother.

"I see, the mourning family thought that you were afraid that I would leave you in the palace and not let you leave the palace, so you were afraid that you didn't dare to come to the mourning palace."

The queen mother smiled gently at Xiang Hongxi, scaring Xiang Hongxi's legs. Obviously, the Queen Mother is ordering him, and it seems that the Queen Mother knows that it was he who spread the news of Liu Manzhi's loss of morality and injury to the people to the people. However, this kind of thing can't be hidden at all, because on the day of the incident, he was the only one who entered the palace, and he could only spread the things after the abolition outside the palace.

"Tell me, what are you talking about when you come to the palace in such a hurry?"

Xiang Hongxi glanced at Xiang Hongxuan, he didn't dare to answer the Queen Mother's question, but he didn't dare not answer, the mother and son are both human spirits, the most important thing is that they are both the masters of Dongyu Kingdom, he can't afford to offend anyone to Hongxi, and no one wants to offend.

"Say, if the queen mother wants to hear it, you can tell it to the queen mother." Xiang Hongxuan said quietly. Counting the days, Ling Xiao should have done the matter of raising his concubine to a flat wife, the queen mother was afraid that she was deliberately dragging herself in the imperial garden, just waiting to send news to Hongxi, or that the queen mother already knew the result, and suddenly Xiang Hongxuan had an ominous premonition.

"Yicheng is rumored that the Marquis of Pingyuan wants to raise his concubine as a wife, and yesterday there were a lot of people from the Ling clan in the Marquis of Pingyuan's mansion, it seems that this is the case, but in the end, I don't know what happened, and this matter is over."

Xiang Hongxi's voice became smaller and smaller, but Xiang Hongxuan could hear it clearly, that is to say, the beautiful concubine of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion couldn't enter the palace at all, and the queen mother was blocking herself here, I'm afraid she didn't know it so simple a long time ago.

"I heard that Your Majesty is particularly fond of the daughter of the Ling family, but how did the mourning family hear that the two young ladies of the Ling family, one is a concubine, and the other is ridiculously ugly, does Your Majesty still plan to make the Ling family's young lady the queen?" The queen mother asked Xiang Hongxuan provocatively, she knows her son too well, he is a master who sees that a beauty can't walk, and the beautiful concubine of the Ling family can't enter the palace at all, so she doesn't believe that her son is willing to marry an ugly monster.

"Erchen just admires the character of the Marquis of Pingyuan, so the expectations for Miss Ling are a little bigger, since the two young ladies of the Ling family are not suitable, it seems that there are still a few daughters of the noble family who are not bad, and I will let Xiao Dezi send the list to the mother's harem for you to see."

"No need, why does Your Majesty bother so much, there is a young lady in the mourning family, and she is the best candidate to be the queen." After speaking, the Queen Mother domineeringly handed a Geng post to Xiang Hongxuan's hand.

Xiang Hongxuan opened it and saw that it was Wang An's second queen Shuyue, Xiang Hongxuan had a little impression of this little cousin, before he ascended the throne, Wang Shuyue had also entered the palace, he remembered that Wang Shuyue was a good-looking beauty, but didn't Wang An already marry her?

"If I'm not mistaken, isn't Cousin Shuyue already married?"

"Your Majesty has a good memory, a few years ago, your uncle Wang An did marry Shuyue to the third son of the Cao Mo family, but some time ago, because the son of the Cao family was going to travel far away, he didn't want to delay Shuyue's youth, so he retired from this family business."

Xiang Hongxuan's face leaked an embarrassed smile, if he remembered correctly, the third son of the Cao Mo family married the young lady of the Liu family, his mother really took great pains, in order to let Wang Shuyue enter the palace, even such a thing as retiring from the marriage can be done, and he can't even hide it, he is really determined to send the daughter of the Wang family to the throne.

"Queen, this seems to be a little wrong."

"Your Majesty can let an ugly girl who has been divorced participate in the election, is his own cousin not as good as an ugly girl?"

The queen mother pressed step by step, so that Xiang Hongxuan's eyes were gradually filled with anger, knowing the son Mo Ruomu, it was an extremely risky move after the abolition, Xiang Hongxuan could only use a new national ruler with military merits and background to smoothly pass the risk after the change, and he could also overpower the Wang family's relatives and Liu Sheng, but unfortunately his careful thinking had long been seen through by the queen mother, so after Liu Manzhi was deposed, the Wang family has been holding back, not because he was afraid that Liu Manzhi's behavior of losing morality and hurting the king would affect the Wang family, Instead, after waiting for himself to walk to a dead end step by step, he pushed the Wang family girl to the back position.

Xiang Hongxuan was suddenly a little depressed, he was calculated, he was calculated by his mother, he was too naïve. How could his mother give the throne to someone else, it seems that Ling Xiaoping's wife is also his mother's masterpiece.

"Erchen will think about it." Xiang Hongxuan said almost through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty had better think clearly, if you want to stop in moderation, there are few people in the entire Dongyu Kingdom who can sit firmly in that back position."

The Queen Mother looked at Xiang Hongxuan proudly, what she said was the truth, although Xiang Hongxuan was very smart, thinking of the founding generals as the new candidates, but God did not disobey him, the two daughters of the Ling family were not the most suitable candidates, and other qualified young ladies to be married were also rare, and Xiang Hongxuan had no way out.

The Queen Mother walked to Xiang Hongxuan's side, she gently patted Xiang Hongxuan's shoulder, and said, "If Your Majesty really likes the concubine of the Ling family so much, the mourning family can consider being extra generous and allow her to enter the palace as a palace concubine." After saying that, the Queen Mother left the Imperial Garden triumphantly.

With a bang, Xiang Hongxuan overturned the dragon table in the long pavilion at once, and Xiang Hongxi immediately knelt on the ground.

"Brother Huang is angry."

"How can you let me calm my anger, I finally got Liu Manzhi away, and now there is another Wang Shuyue, and I am busy in vain, and the military power released from Liu Sheng's hands will be Liu Sheng's again in a short time, and I will always be under the control of Wang's relatives in the previous dynasty."

Xiang Hongxuan, who was still in a state of rage just now, was suddenly like a deflated ball, and he sat down on the stairs outside the long pavilion dejectedly.

"If Your Majesty marries Miss Yan of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, won't all the problems be solved?" Suddenly, Xiang Hongxi said quietly.

The queen mother just grasped Xiang Hongxuan's weakness of coveting beauty, and now there is no suitable queen candidate in Yicheng, forcing Xiang Hongxuan to appoint the daughter of the Wang family as the queen, but as long as Xiang Hongxuan marries Ling Xi, all the plans of the queen mother will be in vain. The most important thing is that if Ling Xi becomes the queen, it is impossible for Ling Man to enter the palace as a palace concubine, so Xiang Hongxi believes that he will have a chance to marry Ling Man.

Xiang Hongxi knew that he shouldn't covet Xiang Hongxuan's woman, this was a matter of playing with fire, but when he learned that Ling Man's biological mother was promoted to a flat wife, and the pressure of the Queen Mother just now, his heart was moved, as long as Ling Xi entered the palace, Ling Man would not be able to enter the palace, but if Wang Shuyue became the queen, Ling Man still had to enter the palace, and he would have no chance.

He wants to give it a try, even if he will be suspicious of himself by Xiang Hongxuan. This is the first time in his life that he wants to challenge Xiang Hongxuan's imperial power and his resourcefulness, he feels that he is not much worse than Xiang Hongxuan, as long as it is once, for Ling Man, he wants to take a risk, he really has no regrets in this life.

"That's a woman who was so ugly that she was divorced, how can you let me marry." Xiang Hongxuan roared almost in a crushed manner.

"Jiaofang Hall is so far away from Feiyu Palace, if Your Majesty treats the new queen as a mascot in the Jiaofang Palace, the new queen is estimated to not have the strength to toss after the abolition, Your Majesty wants to spoil which palace concubine will spoil which palace concubine, and Your Majesty can also have a good reputation for not loving women, which is the most beneficial to Your Majesty."

Xiang Hongxuan slowly got up from the stairs, he fell into deep thought, and before he knew it, he was pacing up in the long pavilion. Xiang Hongxuan had to admit that Xiang Hongxi's words made sense, he just didn't expect that Xiang Hongxi, who usually says something indifferent, hit the nail on the head today, he can't understand his younger brother, but Xiang Hongxi is right, although Ling Xi is ugly, she won't be as ugly and dead as Liu Manzhi, at least she will be an obedient queen.

He waved his hand, and Xiao Dezi immediately walked up to him.

"Spread the decree, and Ling Xi, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Pingyuan, will be the queen."
