Xiao Tuyu took a lychee from the queen and said with a smile: "No, I think it's very good." It's beautiful. Wear it on your body, and it has a special charm. By the way, your two parents' families have close contacts, but they are like a pair of old relatives. ”

Empress Yu gently wiped the lychee branches and leaves on her beard for Tuyou, and said, "Your Majesty forgot?" The concubine was already familiar with Mrs. Canaan. When she was a small county lord in the Xiangting Palace, and when she was not out of the cabinet, she often accompanied the old Xiangting County King to see His Majesty in the Holy Capital. The old elephant is also familiar with the Yu family. Before serving His Majesty, the concubine acted absurdly and liked to ride and shoot, who would have thought that the little county lord would also have such a temperament in Xiangting County. So, the two of us talked about it the most. At that time, the little lord often came to me to try riding and shooting. Hehehe. When I think about it now, I think it's quite interesting. ”

Xiao Tuyou was surprised: "Oh?! Rongzhu actually married such a generous lady. We are all blessed! Hahaha. It seems that our family business is really suitable. "This is Xiao Tuyu secretly praising the queen. The queen was very happy to hear this. He ate another lychee and asked, "You two, who is better?" ”

The Empress asked, "Does Your Majesty mean to ride and shoot, or to choose a husband?" If it is cavalry archery, the little county lord learned it from the horse archery saint in the Xiangting County, and he has been staying in the Xiangting County of Chongwu all the year round. But if you say a husband......

"What about choosing a husband?"

"If you talk about choosing a husband, who in the world has the good fortune of a concubine?"

Tu You sneered, the lychee juice in his mouth sprayed onto his beard, and laughed: "I really like your temperament." I haven't seen it for years! I still remember the first time I saw you, it was on campus. You rode a horse from the west, the horse was red, and you were dressed in a plain white riding suit. The horse, red and translucent; And you, white dazzling. The heroic posture that stands alone in the world immediately fascinated me. Therefore, I will do everything possible to find opportunities to accompany you on horseback riding and hunting. When you wear these simple clothes, it reminds me of your heroic appearance when you wore riding clothes. Yuanwei, you haven't been so heroic since you gave birth to a young rank. It's a shame. By the way, you rode a horse at that time, and I accompanied you the most, why didn't you know about the competition with the little county lord of Xiangting? ”

Queen Yu added some herbal tea to Tuyou, and said with a smile: "The concubine knows that she is not as good as the riding and archery skills of the little county lord, so she secretly competes with her." How dare you compete with her in front of Your Majesty, isn't it a shame for the concubine? Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the concubine saw His Majesty for the first time, and knew that His Majesty would be the lord of the world in the future. Therefore, how can the little county lord compare the concubine. In case Your Majesty falls in love with the little princess, what will you do if you are a concubine? The queen's face flushed with shyness.

Xiao Tuyu said excitedly: "Oh?! At that time, I was just a Nangong Guard Order, and I was a concubine, and my background was not as good as those sons of princes and nobles. In terms of doing things, to be honest, I'm not very good either. How do you know that I will be Lord of the earth? ”

Queen Yu tilted her head, pursed her lips and said, "This, the concubine really can't say it, no matter how you say it, you can't tell the truth." Anyway, it's just a feeling. His Majesty has a faint temperament, which is by no means something that ordinary men can have. That's the temperament that only emperors have, and it's a natural imperial temperament! ”

Xiao Tuyou actually showed a look of frustration, shook his head and said, "Second brother is really born with the temperament of an emperor." He has been different from him since he was an ordinary Nangong guard, and the princes, ministers, and noble clans are all intimidated by his bearing. After the second brother ascended the throne and was honored as Emperor Longwu, the imperial spirit that filled the world was undoubtedly revealed. Not to mention other ministers, even I, when I saw him, I was always like meeting a god, and my heart was always timid. The second brother is born with the temperament of an emperor. I'm still a little inferior to him. I am still self-aware of this. Yuanwei, when you were not out of the cabinet, you once made a bold statement that you would not marry if you were not a great hero in the world! You tell you the truth, if the second brother in the world had not married at that time, you could choose between the second brother and me, who would you choose? ”

"Your Majesty, of course."

"Oh? Why is that? You are determined to marry only the great heroes of the world. I think that in terms of heroism, I can never compare to my second brother. In the past, I often heard people in the Holy Capital say that when you were able to marry me, what you valued was actually the divine power of the second brother, and I was stained with the light of the second brother. Tuyu smiled and looked directly at the queen.

Empress Yu also smiled and said calmly: "The first emperor is indeed a dragon among people. When the first emperor was Wei Weiqing, everyone in the holy capital said that Wei Weiqing was the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he was the appearance of a nobleman. His Majesty also said that since the concubine married His Majesty, rumors began to circulate in the Holy Capital that the concubine married His Majesty and valued the divine power of the second brother. Later, the second brother really got the throne and established the country, established Dazhao, made extraordinary achievements, and was respected as the unprecedented 'emperor', His Majesty was also named Prince Yongcheng, and it was also the only prince's title, ranking first in the clan and nobles, and he was favored and trusted. As a result, the above rumors have become even more popular, and they all say that the concubine is really wise. When His Majesty inherits the throne and the concubine becomes the queen of Dazhao, the rumors will be even more unknown and unbelievable. But in fact, there are many mediocre people in the world, and they are all very wrong.

"What do you say? I don't understand. ”

Empress Yu smiled, looked at Xiao Tuyou, and said, "What the concubine took a fancy to at the beginning was not the divine power of Emperor Longwu, but Your Majesty!" ”

"Oh?! It's new, and it's the first time I've heard of it. That's not the same thing, Yuanwei. He picked up a bunch of lychees by himself.

Queen Yu first held down Xiao Tuyu's hand and said, "If you eat again, you will be on fire." Your Majesty is the foundation of the fire, four a day, which is enough. Let's eat a few iced plums. As he spoke, he wiped the plums in the ice tray with a handkerchief, handed one over, and took a bite of it, saying, "Ho, it's really sweet and refreshing." ”

Only then did the queen say: "What the concubine said is definitely not a lie, nor is it sycophancy. In the past, when the second brother was alive, the concubine did not dare to say it, for fear that it would bring disaster to His Majesty. Now that His Majesty has succeeded to the throne, the concubine has the courage to speak out. At the beginning, the concubine's close friends and even the maids knew about it. At that time, the concubines often told them that the three brothers of the Xiao family, the eldest is blessed and unprestigious, the second is blessed and unblessed, and the third is blessed and prestigious. ”

"That's kind of interesting. The eldest brother, inheriting the king, enjoying the honor, and doing nothing, it is appropriate to say that he is blessed and unauthoritative. The second brother is the founding emperor of our big photo, who can match it. Why do you say that he is unblessed? ”

Queen Yu said: "The concubine thinks that although the second brother is very heroic, it is just a foreshadowing made by God for His Majesty to enjoy the world." In this world, God actually wants to give it to Your Majesty. ”

What do you mean by that? You know me well, and you also know my second brother well. The second brother's kind of talent that opens and closes, and passes through the heavens and latitudes, I don't have it. ”

"Emperor Longwu and His Majesty are both born human masters, there is no doubt about this. However, judging from the concubines, Emperor Longwu is a storm, and it is appropriate to use it for the founding of the country, but it is not a long-term solution, nor is it the material of the best emperor. And Your Majesty is the spring breeze and rain, this is the long-term plan of Shuntian and the people, and it is the best imperial material. It's one thing to fight the country, but it's another thing to sit on the country. Of course, it is difficult to build a country, but whether we can sit still and sit firmly after the founding of the country can we truly see the will of God. In this regard, Emperor Longwu is far inferior to His Majesty. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the heirs, after the founding of Emperor Longwu, there were no heirs, so that rumors spread in the government and the opposition. But as soon as His Majesty succeeded to the throne, the heavens gave him a dragon heir, dispelling the rumors that were ubiquitous and nowhere to be found, isn't this proof of this? Otherwise, in terms of the popularity of the nobles and clans, Emperor Longwu is even less than His Majesty. ”

Xiao Tuyu felt a sense of bosom friend, took the hand of the queen and said: "Yuanwei, what you said is very comforting to my heart!" I am so grateful! I have always believed in your vision. Today's words, I believe in your vision even more. It just so happened that there was a big matter, I couldn't find anyone to discuss, and I pondered it again and again, and I didn't have a clue, and I was depressed. Today, let's hear what you think. ”

Empress Yu tilted her head and smiled: "What can make Your Majesty so difficult to decide?" If it is a state affair, the concubine does not dare to hear about it. ”

"It's a state affair ......"

"That concubine is ......"

"But it's more of a family affair!"

"Oh? Your Majesty......"

He took the hand of the queen and said, "Tell me, who is blessed among our children?" ”

It turned out to be to ask who should be chosen as the prince!

Queen Yu suddenly woke up: this is a very crucial sentence, which implies a sharp edge.

Judging from the context before and after the speech, it seems that Tuyou asked for her opinion on the selection of the crown prince because he appreciated the queen's wisdom, but in fact, he used these words to test the queen. Empress Yu has changed dramatically recently, and today she is so elevating the emperor, what is her true heart, Xiao Tuyou is very skeptical.

In this matter, if the queen said that it was appropriate to be established as the crown prince, then all the queen's previous efforts would be in vain. The warmth and Tern of the past few days will also disappear completely, and there will never be a chance to turn around.

The queen knew the weight of these words, and quickly thought about how to deal with it, but she didn't dare to speak.

Tuyu spread his hands and said with a smile: "You don't have to have any scruples. I'm just talking to you on a whim. We'll talk about it later, and we'll talk about it later. ”

Empress Yu immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "The concubine is guilty." Please punish Your Majesty. ”
