Therefore, the prince's untaminess largely resolved the emperor's dislike for him, let his shortcomings cover up his advantages, and still preserve his lonely situation in the palace at this time.

"Father, we have sacrificed a Yu Yao, we thought that marrying her into the East Palace, with her intelligence, she could win the love of the prince, or help us, but now it seems that this Yu Yao has more than enough success! If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, Yu Yao will not only be thrown into the cold palace, but even my daughter and I will probably be driven out by him! ”

Liu Sheng still didn't speak, and every time he had to make a decision, he had to think about a lot of things.

He has always looked at the world, and he will not be like this daughter, in his eyes and heart, there is only his son Li Heng, as long as the fifth prince climbs to the throne, her years of scheming will not be wasted.

But he is different, he Liu Sheng not only has to find a bargaining chip for the entire family that is worth relying on, but this bargaining chip must also have the talent of the emperor and help the common people, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to ruin this great country just for his own selfish interests.

"I know that my father and third brother have been hesitating all along, but in fact, my daughter is very puzzled, where is Heng'er not as good as that Li Che? Why did my father hesitate for so long between Li Che and Heng'er? Heng'er is going to call you grandpa, break the bones and tendons! ”

"Don't worry," Liu Sheng said quietly: "The emperor has always been suspicious and suspicious, if my father wants to protect the Liu family now, he can't form a party with the prince, otherwise, with the emperor's heart, he can uproot our Liu family by finding a reason." ”

The queen knelt on the ground and said with a wry smile, "After all, my father still doesn't want to help Heng'er." ”

"Let's do it, after all, the emperor is not high now, what are you anxious about, be careful of your urgency, he will see something, and you may be the queen who abolishes!"

"If the daughter is deposed as the middle palace, will the father be satisfied? Just happy? ”

"You!" Liu Shengzhen was really angry, stretched out his hand and pointed at this daughter, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Mama Lin, send my father out of the palace." The queen closed her eyes and silently shed a line of tears: "I hope that my father will take care of his health, and I hope that Heng'er will have a day when he can rely on his grandfather in the future." ”

Liu Sheng sighed, took Queen Liu's hand with both hands, let her stand up from the ground and said, "Don't worry, as you said, Heng'er called me grandfather, I can't ignore your mother and son." ”

"Father......" Empress Liu said, already staining her clothes with tears.

Mama Lin was just about to send Liu Sheng away, when she saw a young man dressed in a prince's robe walking quickly towards this side, and when she got closer, it was Li Heng, the fifth prince.

I saw him dividing the flowers and willows, young and tall, and when he saw Liu Sheng, he stepped forward quickly and saluted with his fists: "Heng'er asks grandpa for peace, grandpa can have dinner?" ”

Liu Sheng also smiled and hugged his fists in return: "I have used it, thanks to the Fifth Highness." ”

Li Heng smiled slightly, warm as jade, and turned to look at the queen and said, "Why is the queen mother crying?" But worried about your grandfather again? ”

The queen wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "Every time I see your grandfather, I see that he is a little older, and now his hair is gray and his body is not as good as before, how can the queen mother not be sad." ”

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, the five highnesses are so old, no matter how old I am, won't I become a monster?" Liu Sheng smiled to himself, hugged his fists and said, "Weichen said goodbye." ”

"I'm going to give my grandfather a ride!" After the fifth prince finished speaking, he was about to step forward.

Liu Sheng hurriedly stopped him and said: "I came to see your mother, this is the relationship between father and daughter, you personally sent me out of the palace, and fell into the mouth of the official, that is, forming a party for personal gain, which is not good for your mother and son." ”

"It's still my grandfather's thoughtfulness," the fifth prince bowed again, and watched Liu Sheng walk away slowly with his thin body under the guidance of Mama Lin.

In the lakeside water pavilion, between the light gauze and soft dill, the queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and snorted coldly: "It's a good saying, high-sounding, and I'm afraid of falling into the mouth, the Liu family's forces are complicated, which of those inspectors is not his protégé, and which one dares to impeach him, but I just want to find a reason to draw a clear line with you, my mother and son." ”

Li Heng stood with his hands in his hands, as bright as a jade tree, and looked at the queen with a smile and said: "The queen mother is too worried, my grandfather is the humerus of the country, and he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, he just doesn't know how to make a choice now, if one day his father is not good, he finds that the child is more resourceful than the prince, and from the perspective of blood thicker than water, he must help us." ”

"Even if there is that day, this palace will not be uncommon to him!" The queen gritted her teeth angrily: "If one day you are on the Ninth Five-Year Plan!" Let them pay for today! ”

Li Heng smiled gently, hugged the queen and said, "Can the queen mother have lunch?" If you're tired of the day, don't be angry. ”

The queen said: "When you say this, I still remember, the queen mother invited the harem concubines to dine together, but this time it was delayed." ”

Li Heng said: "Then let's hurry over." ”

"Don't panic, I've been waiting for so long, so if I let them wait longer, can they still starve to death? The queen mother didn't starve to death, did she? ”

Saying this, the mother and son began to slowly walk towards the Mingfeng Palace.

Lunch was placed in the side hall of the Mingfeng Palace, and there were already several high-ranking concubines in the harem waiting there, but Liu Yuyao was among them.

At this time, she was already hungry and was about to roll her eyes, the pastries and oranges in the palms of her two hands had been deformed, but they still couldn't be delivered to her mouth, she believed that even if she was asked to send them, she would not have the strength to lift her arms.

When she came in, she was surrounded by several flowery concubines, and the big palace maid in the queen's palace introduced to her one by one which one was called by whom, what was the surname, what position and what name she didn't remember, she only remembered the mother concubine, all of them were mother concubines.

They took her hand and asked, whether it was concern or ridicule, she didn't have the energy to deal with it, and a voice echoed in her head.

Eat, eat, she wants to eat, when will she be able to eat?

When everyone saw that her indifference didn't seem to be easy to get along with, they gave up, and they all sat aside and chatted and drank tea, and didn't take her seriously.

Liu Yuyao leaned back on the chair and looked at the carved dome and said, "What's the matter, aren't these people hungry?" ”

Lang Ying Youyou said: "How can they be the same as you, they didn't go to Shennongtan with them, and they can eat at any time in the palace." ”

Hearing the strong dissatisfaction in Langying's words, Liu Yuyao was happy, and it can be seen that this cold-faced Langying is also hungry.

After sitting for a while, he listened to the people outside: "The queen mother and the five princes have arrived. ”

And they all got up and went out of the door.

"It's finally time to eat! Hurry up! Liu Yuyao seemed to have drunk chicken blood for a moment, and stood up and ran out excitedly.

The concubines walking in front automatically separated from each other, knowing that there was a difference between respect and inferiority, although they were elders, but the crown princess was a respected product in terms of position, and they had to follow behind her.

"Auntie, you're back?!" Liu Yuyao walked out quickly with a radiant face on her face, and when she saw the surrounding palace maids curtsied, she also knelt down, raised her hands and threw herself on the ground: "Meet the queen mother!" ”

But at the sound of a grunt, a huge orange rolled out of her sleeve.

The queen said with a kind smile: "How can Yao'er give such a big gift to this palace, get up quickly." ”

"Ahh My oranges! Liu Yuyao saw that the orange she had kneaded and ran out, and hurried to catch it.

The orange came to a stop when it touched a pair of soap boots with a white background, and the owner of the boots bent down, picked up the orange, and handed it to her with an amiable smile.

She hurriedly raised her hands to take it, and when she heard a click, the Fushou cake in the other sleeve also fell out, only to see that the word Fushou on it had been slightly melted by her, and the pastries were all deformed.

"Say hello to the queen-" The concubines behind them curtsied, and after getting up, they all looked at the queen who had stopped moving, and the crown princess who had already knelt in front of the queen.

When Li Heng bent down to pick up the pastry, Liu Yuyao was already one step ahead of him and picked up the pastry from the ground.

The smile on the queen's face gradually froze, "What, what are you carrying here?" You won't take it with you when you go to worship the heavens, will you? ”

This time, it is not to admit it, and it is not to admit it.

Li Heng smiled gently: "Don't blame the crown princess, don't blame the princess, this time she sacrificed to the sky, she has been busy since dawn, and it is normal for the princess to be hungry." ”

Liu Yuyao smiled at him gratefully, bright and lovely, Li Heng only felt that his eyes were a little unable to take off.

The queen said: "That's it, get up, come here, pass the meal." ”

As soon as she stood up from the ground, she heard the sharp-eyed concubine behind her shout sharply: "What the princess is holding in her hand can't be Fushou cake, right?" ”

As soon as she said this, everyone turned their eyes to Liu Yuyao's hand, only to see that she held it a little tighter, trying to block the patterns and handwriting on the pastry.

In addition, another concubine quipped: "Sister, don't bully us for not being knowledgeable, I heard that the Fushou cake made in the dining room is only for the ancestors of Chang'an Palace, how can it be in the hands of the crown princess?" ”

"It seems that you really don't know anything, and this Fushou cake is just listening, but you haven't seen it, right?" The concubine rolled her eyes very arrogantly, a little above the top.

The ridiculed woman was speechless with hatred, and gritted her teeth for a long time.

Liu Yuyao stood on the spot with a blank face, the queen came over with strong winds and waves, she had seen a lot of worship between these harems, and said calmly: "Let's pass the meal, it's already over." ”

The concubine who spoke just now said again: "The queen mother is really partial, she eats Fushou cake for her niece, and only lets us eat imperial meals?" ”

The queen just took a step and stopped, stood in front of the woman with an expressionless face, looked at her fixedly, and said: "Concubine Xian, don't open your eyes and talk nonsense in broad daylight, how dare this palace move the things that the ancestors ate?" ”

"Hahaha!" Concubine Xian's sharp laughter echoed in the side hall: "Even Niangniang said that she didn't do it, could it be that the crown princess stole it?" It's no wonder that when you enter the Chang'an Hall for the first time, you may want to order something as a souvenir. ”
