The sudden death of Luo Zhuangxi, the thirty-seventh emperor of Tianqi, caused Tianqi to be calm on the surface and turbulent on the inside.

Luo Yinghua looked at the number of righteous ministers who didn't know how many righteous and righteous ministers wanted to help the orthodox minister out of the hall, and ordered the attendants to close the door and thank the guests.

"Your Highness...... Don't you want to give it a try at all? After respectfully sending off the minister, the attendant closed the door of the palace heavily, turned his head and said his question, "The ministers who came to visit us these days have almost broken the threshold of our Leping Palace, which shows that there are still many people in the court who support you." ”

"Give it a try?" Luo Yinghua paused, continued to roll up and put away the calligraphy and paintings that had just dried, and didn't even raise his head to say, "Let's not say that my father's edict has specified that the successor is the eldest brother, just say that I am not the material to be the emperor, why bother to be boring, it is better to let Xian." ”

"Your Royal Highness has been smart since childhood, and he is the eldest son of the former emperor, with the support and assistance of most important ministers in the court, why can't you be a famous monarch through the ages?" The little attendant often continued to persuade, and his words were full of pride in his own master and resentment about what happened to his master, "Your Highness doesn't know, now that one person in the Qingyun Palace has ascended to heaven, and even a third-class maid is calling for wind and rain in the Internal Affairs Department - the slave really feels worthless for His Highness!" If it weren't for the support of Her Royal Highness Princess Yao, then the throne of the emperor should have been Her Royal Highness......"

The more the little waiter often spoke, the more angry he became, and his heart was full of unwillingness.

"Presumptuous!" Luo Yinghua stopped him sharply, "This kind of thing is also what you can say?" ”

The little waiter was often so frightened by his sudden drink that his face was like a blank piece of paper, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed again and again to ask for guilt.

Everyone in the palace knows that His Royal Highness Luo Huanhua is gentle by nature, and he has always been generous when he treats the next one, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he won't be too harsh, and he won't stop as violently as he just did.

This also led to a phenomenon: the maids and attendants serving in the Leping Hall would not be cautious about looking at the face of their masters like those who served in other places, so this little attendant had the courage to speak to Luo Yinghua just now.

The little attendant has served in Leping Hall for eight or nine years, and he has never seen Luo Huanhua so angry as he is now, so he was naturally frightened.

Luo Yinghua was very angry, not only because he was angry that his disrespectful words were too arrogant, but also because the people around him didn't understand him and wanted to push him into the abyss.

He pursed his lips and did not speak, and the air pressure that permeated the entire hall was extremely low.

"Huh?" A woman's voice came from the door abruptly, with a bit of temptation, "Concubine...... But the concubine came at the wrong time? ”

The little waiter often didn't dare to make a sound, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

"Ying Xuan? What are you doing here? Luo Yinghua was frowning tightly, and she got up and walked towards the woman at the entrance of the hall.

"I just made some small cakes in the small kitchen that my husband likes to eat on weekdays." The woman known as "Ying Xuan" smiled slightly, and the jade tassel hanging from her head clanked because of her action - she was a dignified and noble princess, but because of this action, people could see a little coquettish.

She held a delicate jade plate with small snacks stacked on it, and it was deliberately made into a cute shape, and it took a lot of thought to look at it.

"Husband, try it and try it, do you like it or not?" Xiao Yingxuan hurriedly picked up a piece with her hand and sent it to his mouth.

Luo Yinghua reluctantly opened his mouth to swallow it, and the dim sum melted in his mouth, turning into a sweet warm current into his mouth, which made his originally somewhat impetuous mood suddenly soothed.

"Okay, little brother, you go out, next time I make His Highness angry, I will send you back to the Internal Affairs Department directly." Xiao Yingxuan saw that his expression soothed, knowing that he had already lost his breath, and hurriedly called the little attendant who was still kneeling on the ground to get up and go out.

Where did Xiao Gezi dare to stay or say more, and hurriedly said "Thank you to the princess" and hurriedly withdrew.

Ying Xuan...... Am I usually too indulgent to my subordinates? Luo Yinghua pulled her into the hall and sat down, holding her forehead with a headache, "Now even a person like Xiao Yanzi can say such disrespectful words to me." ”

"Husband, although your temperament is gentle, but when you encounter such a big thing, won't you sit idly by?" Xiao Yingxuan fed him another piece of pastry and comforted, "The left and right husbands are not interested in political affairs, just ignore those annoying things." We have said before, we only live our own lives with peace of mind - now, our Leping Hall is about to be added. ”

"Huh? You mean...... Luo Yinghua was very surprised when she heard this, her eyes involuntarily glanced at her lower abdomen, and hurriedly took her hand. Could it be that Yingxuan you...... ”

"It's not a concubine!" Although Xiao Yingxuan was a little disappointed, she didn't show it, and patted his hand lightly in shame, "Just now, Sister Ying was studying and making pastries in the small kitchen with the concubine, but she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and asked the imperial doctor to see that she was already two months pregnant-I had just sent someone to Zhaoyang Hall to tell the queen mother, it is estimated that the queen mother will come down later, after all, with pregnancy, I have to carry Sister Ying into a side concubine, right?" ”

The real name of Sister Ying in her mouth is Chu Ying, and she is the only concubine in Luo Huanhua's Leping Hall besides herself, and she is also the noble daughter of the Shen Chu mother clan who Chu Zhaoying saw that Xiao Yingxuan had nothing to do with them half a year after their wedding.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yingxuan sighed and continued: "Leping Hall is happy to meet Tian Ding this time, and the concubine is really happy for her husband. ”

"Ying Xuan." Luo Yinghua's hand holding her hand tightened, "It's okay, we will have our own child soon." ”

"The husband is comforting the concubine again." Xiao Yingxuan giggled and got into his arms, snuggled her head on his shoulder, and muttered, "Don't worry, husband, the concubine won't do those trivial tricks, and she doesn't bother to do them...... With this child, the queen mother and husband will be very happy, how can the concubine be willing to make you sad. ”

Xiao Yingxuan has been strong since she was a child, but a few months after her wedding to Luo Yinghua, she accidentally fell into the water in the cold winter season and contracted cold disease. It wasn't until she accidentally overheard Shi Yuezhen's conversation with Luo Liyao that she knew that it would be difficult for her to have her own children in her life-presumably her husband also knew, Xiao Yingxuan thought to herself, but he didn't say anything to her, and he still treated her as before.

She also thought that they could go on like this forever, but she knew how much her husband longed for a child - so she found the queen Chu Zhaoying and begged her to be the master of welcoming a newcomer into the Leping Palace, and extending the heirs of her husband's lineage.

She buried her head in Luo Yinghua's arms, so that he could not see her somewhat sad expression.

"Ying Xuan." Luo Yinghua sighed softly, "It's okay, we are husband and wife." ”

"Yes, we're husband and wife." Xiao Yingxuan rubbed him and said coquettishly, "Although the husband and wife are different, they are of the same heart - so, no matter what, the husband can't leave the concubine, and he has to take the concubine with him wherever he goes." ”

"Okay." Luo Yinghua touched her head and slowly hugged her.

The red-hot charcoal fire in the brazier in the hall beeped, blurring the figures of the two hugging each other.

"It would be nice if we could keep doing this." Xiao Yingxuan gently smoothed out the wrinkles caused by leaning on him, and said softly, "The concubine and her husband, Sister Ying and the child, as well as the queen mother, Ayao and Ajing...... The concubine hopes that the relatives around her are all well. ”

"Yes." Luo Yinghua comforted her, "The queen mother doesn't want to ask about the harem anymore, A-Yao will get married soon, and it's time for A-Jing to find a wife to take care of her...... Let's just be together. ”

"It may be that the concubine is too careful." Xiao Yingxuan smiled bitterly, "Now that my husband is respected as orthodox by those people, he has been pushed to the forefront...... They think they're helping us, but they're actually harming us. ”

"It's fine." Luo Yinghua glanced at the calligraphy and paintings on his desk, "Big brother knows that I only want to be obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and he is not that kind of person." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yingxuan forcibly suppressed the faint uneasiness in her heart, hugged him tightly, and didn't want to let go.

Although Luo Yinghua has no intention of taking the throne, there are always people who are unhappy for him.

"I don't know what my brother thinks...... Is it so cheap that son of the concubine! Luo Yuanjing fiercely plunged the long sword in his hand into the man-high grain and grass pile in front of him, as if he saw the person he was eager to cut off with a thousand knives, "Anyway, I'm not reconciled!" ”

"Your Highness is angry, Your Highness is angry-" The people around him hurriedly grabbed him, trying to stop him from continuing to destroy the grain and straw, "Although His Highness has the heart to support the Second Highness, but the Second Highness has no intention of the throne at all, and His Highness is also powerless!" ”

"I really don't understand them!" Luo Yuanjing threw his long sword on the ground very irritably, "Why do they all think that Luo Xizheng can be a good emperor?" ”

"Oh my Highness!" The people around him hurriedly pulled him, "You can't call this name now, it's disrespectful!" If it is heard by someone with a heart......"

"Why can't I?" Luo Yuanjing became more and more angry when he heard this, "My biological mother is the queen of the main palace, his biological mother is just a concubine, I am a concubine and he is a concubine, this can't be changed—and he was only found later, my father has always disliked him, how can he still hand over the country to him?" It must have been stolen by someone to change the edict of succession in the Qianqiu box! ”

"Your Highness! Oh, my Highness! You can't just say that—"

"Your Highness is very reasonable." Someone walked straight to the two of them from the other side of the barracks, gave a military salute to Luo Yuanjing with a smile, and without waiting for him to call out, he continued what he had just said, "How much is the current one disliked by the first emperor, but everyone knows it, how can he come to the first place among all His Highnesses when he succeeds to the throne on his deathbed?" There's got to be weird. ”

"I've never seen you, you're in the military?" Although Luo Yuanjing has an impulsive and irritable temperament, he is not stupid, even if he is suspicious, he squints slightly and examines the visitor.

An ordinary Tianqi general was dressed up, but it was a completely unfamiliar face, and Luo Yuanjing couldn't help but be a little wary in his heart.

"Weichen is the commander of the forbidden army who has just been transferred, and his name is Bo Is." The man smiled slightly, and arched his hand, "Weichen has a plan, maybe he can let the Third Highness get what he wants." ”
