The night was dark, and after a frenzied day of hunting, many people had fallen asleep quietly. The tents in the center are still brightly lit.

A team of palace maids walked out of the tent in a graceful manner, closed the tent door, walked to a place about thirty cloths away from the tent, endured the cold of the night, stood quietly, and waited for the call of the people in the tent at any time.

A middle-aged woman held a silver needle and hooked the wick out of the oil lamp a little, and the flame suddenly jumped high. She sighed leisurely, put down the silver needle, and turned to sit down.

Opposite her, the prince stood with his head bowed, and when he saw that the woman was done, he hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, call your son to come late at night, did your son do something wrong?" ”

The queen looked at her son with a look of pity, but said in a stern tone: "Remember, as the crown prince, there will be many people watching your every move. Tonight, you rashly went to Qin Fei, just for a patrol. Even if he is an unborn genius, so what? Force has never been the decisive force of the ruling and opposition parties. What really can control the power of the DPRK and China is to rely on military power and a huge network of connections. Hongu understands that you are naturally weak and unable to practice, so you especially need the protection of a master. But your safety does not depend on the protection of one person. Although your father has Pang Zhen, he is also protected by hundreds of internal guards. With Pang Zhen's ability, let him face the entire class of guards alone, and he only had to protect himself. ”

The prince pouted inadvertently, if Pang Zhen really launched a ruthless attack, the entire class of internal guards was really not enough for him to kill. However, the queen doesn't know much about the way of cultivation, and there is no need for a son to expose his mother's old bottom.

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, how could the prince's inadvertent little actions be hidden from the queen's eyes. She said flatly: "Prince, at the meeting after this autumn hunt, your father and the palace decided to announce your marriage. Your age is not young, and the crown princess should also be established. ”

This matter is the scar of the crown prince, with the respect of the royal family and the position of the prince, it is impossible to let Tang Daier be the crown princess......

The prince muttered: "Queen Mother, the son knows that he is wrong. However, marriage should not be hasty. In the future, the crown princess will also be in charge of the harem like the queen mother, and the mother will be the world. It has to be carefully selected. ”

The queen chuckled and said, "The palace has already chosen someone in her heart, and your father thinks it can." ”

"Who is it?" The prince asked in surprise.

"It's your cousin...... Guan Lingsi! The queen quietly smiled smugly.

If Guan Lingsi becomes the crown princess. In the future, the Guan clan will have seven queens in the 300-year history of Great Chu, and it is absolutely indisputable to call the Guan clan the first major clan under the imperial family.

Moreover, there is no shortage of such situations in history, after the emperor Bintian, the crown prince was young, and the queen mother listened to the government. There were once two empress dowagers who listened to the government, both women were heroes among women for a while, and under their rule, Da Chu continued to expand its territory and improve people's livelihood.

The prince was stunned for a while, and didn't know how to deal with it, this innocent and kind cousin, of course, is often seen. The queen is Guan Lingsi's aunt. Speaking of appearance, Ling'er is slightly inferior to Tang Dai'er, who she has been thinking about for a long time, but she is also a good choice for the crown princess.

"Is the prince happy?" The queen chuckled softly.

Only then did the prince react and said in a low voice: "The queen mother thinks twice, and the son has no special thoughts about his cousin. For so many years, it's just like Ling'er is a little sister. Erchen ......"

The queen smiled and said coldly: "Nonsense, the election of the crown princess is a big deal, how can you be so foolish?" Of course, Ling'er is a suitable candidate, and she is the best choice in terms of appearance and morality. Compared to Tang Yin's baby daughter, it is much stronger. Although you used to think that she was a sister, and in the future you will be married, day and night, there will naturally be husband and wife. ”

Seeing her son's frightened face, the queen relaxed her tone again, and said faintly: "Prince, everything the queen mother does is for your sake. Although there are many sons of your father, there are few who are outstanding. Although you cannot practice, you are the eldest son, and you are a natural heir to the king of a country. It's just that Concubine Shu's son, Duan Wang Chu Zhuo, and Concubine De's son, Qi King Chu Li, are all young geniuses, and they are already at the peak of the Nine Grades, and they will enter the innate realm sooner or later. Concubine Shu and Concubine De's respective families have long wanted them to take the crown prince. Your father has never agreed, but the queen mother is your mother-in-law, just such a son. The queen mother will not harm you! ”

"If you marry Ling'er, our housekeeper will spare no effort to support you. If my father and eldest brother still had a little reservation before, they would do their best to keep Ling'er in the world. The housekeeper has been based in Dachu for three hundred years, how can it be compared to Concubine De and Concubine Shu's family? ”

The prince raised his head in surprise and asked: "The queen mother is also the housekeeper, if it is not enough to have a queen mother, why must you marry Ling'er?" ”

The queen smiled bitterly and said in her heart, how could she tell the prince about the public case eighteen years ago?

Because of that incident, the entire Great Chu government and opposition were almost turned upside down. Even himself, there is a slight rift with the family!

Although on the surface, he and his father and eldest brother are still harmonious and love each other. But everyone knows very well in their hearts that the crack is there, and it will not increase or decrease! Now, making Ling'er the crown princess is a two-pronged way to eliminate this rift!

Seeing that the queen mother was reluctant to speak, the prince changed the topic with interest: "This year's autumn hunting competition is exciting. I heard that since Uncle Zhen defeated the nine masters more than 20 years ago, it has been the most dramatic this year. ”

The corners of the queen's mouth lifted lightly, crossed a perfect arc, leisurely recalled the past, and muttered: "Pang Zhen back then, he was really ambitious. Ten dragons won the throne, and he single-handedly beat the other nine princes' masters so that no one dared to come out to fight. After that war, your father's status as the crown prince was unbreakable! This year's Qin Fei ...... The situation was different, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he flew into the northern Xinjiang with one move, and beat slowly and quickly, subduing Zhou Liyuan, the most talented person in the Teaching and Learning Department of the Prosecutor's Office. Neither the military nor the Prosecutor's Office dared to challenge it anymore, and it was indeed imposing. ”

"I heard that Uncle Zhen is against the nine masters, and it can be called a sweeping ......," the prince praised.

The queen shook her head and said lightly: "That's all falsehood." Back then, Liu Renzhong, the number one master under the Yan Throne, fought with Pang Zhenli for nearly a hundred. Now Liu Renzhong is assisting King Yan in Northern Xinjiang, if he is in the field today, Chu Yang will not be squeezed by your cousin like that. Luo Wu and Miao Qi, in front of Liu Renzhong, are honest like children. Even if it is Chen Xiaojiu and Chen Hongyin, the first person in the management of the government, the winning chance against Liu Renzhong will not be too high! ”

Recalling that Chu Yang was so angry that he stared at him with a crooked nose, the prince couldn't help but laugh.

"These juniors are getting bolder. Chu Yang is flying and domineering, Ling'er is usually well-behaved and cute, and today he actually faced Chu Yang. The queen sighed helplessly: "Don't think that the queen mother doesn't know anything, tonight, Ji Xing, the deputy general of the Northern Xinjiang Army, was killed, and everyone knows the truth of this matter." ”

The crown prince was not surprised at all, since the queen could know about recruiting Qin Fei, she would definitely be able to know the truth about Ji Xing's killing. Ji Xing is a person from Northern Xinjiang, and he can't die, for the prince, there is no difference from the death of a dog.

"Queen Mother, then what are you going to do with Qin Fei?"

The queen smiled dumbly: "After Ji Xing was killed, your father summoned Governor Yi. After asking him, guess what Old Man Yi said? ”

The prince replied honestly: "Erchen doesn't know! ”

Old man Yi said that Qin Fei is now half of the people in the prosecutor's hall, and even if he causes trouble, it will be he, Old Man Yi, who will deal with it. Besides, if someone else uses a knife to cut off the head of the person in the Prosecutor's Office, they can't let the Prosecutor's Office be a turtle with a shrunken head. The queen chuckled and said, "Therefore, this matter must be resolved in the end, and Ji Xing's death is also in vain." ”

There are people in the north of Xinjiang, and the prince and the queen are gloating, so you can imagine how deep the contradiction between Emperor Chu and King Yan is.

"Tomorrow when hunting, the queen mother will call Ling'er, you take her to have a good time. You don't have to worry about the rest. The queen got back to business.

The prince knew that he had no way to refuse, so he had to agree to it. Then he said goodbye and left the tent. The palace maids who were waiting outside the tent sent the prince away.

The prince walked in front silently, and Xiao Anzi carried a lantern and followed the prince.

"Xiao Anzi, what do you think of the county lord of Qingli, well, how about the housekeeper?" The prince said lightly.

In fact, men all have the same mind, and when they encounter emotional troubles, even if they are princes, they also hope to listen to the opinions of others, so as to strengthen their confidence, even if the one next to them is a eunuch!

Xiao Anzi smiled and responded: "Xiao Anzi dared to guess, presumably the queen mother wants to marry the county lord of Qingli to His Royal Highness the crown prince as a concubine, right?" The county lord is beautiful and kind-hearted, so he is naturally the best choice. Xiao Anzi congratulates His Highness, congratulations to His Highness! ”

"You are a very good heart, you haven't read many books, but you are very smart, I just asked you, you actually guessed eight or nine and ten." The prince sneered: "It's no good to be too smart, and to be a slave you have to be a slave." ”

Xiao Anzi suddenly sweated like rain, he was still young, although his mind was flexible, how could he understand the world? Prince Pingsu is kind to him, everyone knows that he is a big celebrity in the East Palace, and the position of the chief eunuch in the palace will definitely not be able to run out of the palm of his hand in the future. Whether it is eunuchs or palace maids, or even some low-status concubines, they are extremely deferential to him. After a long time, I really forgot my duty......

"Minions don't dare!" Xiao Anzi trembled and said: "The slave has forgotten for a while, please punish His Highness!" ”

The prince waved his sleeves: "Remember, everything you have is given by me." Naturally, I can take it back at any time! Don't go forward yet! ”

Xiao Anzi was so frightened that she was urinating, carrying a lantern, and stepped forward to light the way. The prince's depressed mood is wide, and now he has not ascended the throne as the emperor, and can only experience the wonderful use of power in the East Palace. This feeling is really good!
