※ Based on the news from Li Ran, the spear suspicion made Li Chengqian cry today, and the prince was happy and victorious. After sending Li Ran away, he hugged his son in the palace and laughed happily.

Concubine Yin's funeral was advanced by one day, obviously to avoid the queen mother's birthday three days later, and the concubine Yin sought death in vain, wanting to block the queen mother, but in the end she still couldn't match the status of the queen mother in the heart of her father.

Li Chengqian knew very well in his heart that the queen mother was favored in front of his father, and he would be able to get a lot of benefits from it as a son, if it weren't for the queen mother's side over the years, according to his previous image of political feet, coupled with his cowardly and introverted temperament in the past, this East Palace would have already changed hands to others.

In fact, in the scorching summer of last year, when Empress Changsun was terminally ill. Li Chengqian was ready and fearful of being removed from the status of the crown prince by his father, without the care and guidance of the queen mother, without the full support of his uncle from the inside out, relying only on his own footing image that was not very pleasing to his father and the emperor and those unsuccessful diners and doormen under him, it was difficult to keep the crown prince for a long time.

Therefore, the recuperation status of the eldest grandson empress, as well as the emotional concentration between the queen mother and the father, have always been the issues that Li Chengqian is most concerned about and attaches great importance to.

Fortunately, with the blessing of God, the relationship between the father and the queen mother has always been good and constant, and the body of the queen mother has also become stronger and stronger because of Liu Yiyi's careful treatment, and now she is no different from ordinary people. In this state, even if your temperament and heart are still the same as before, you can also keep yourself worry-free for several years, not to mention that you are now.

Thinking of this, the joy on Li Chengqian's face was lightened, and he couldn't help but think of Hou Ning'er, who was deceased for more than half a year, and the child in Hou Ning'er's belly that was less than a month old.

"Alas!" sighed lightly, "I looked a little depressed, and lightly handed the child to Wu Mei, who was sitting next to him, Li Chengqian took a sip of the tea bowl, and then sat there silently.

And the sixth concubine next to her, Wu Mei, saw Li Chengqian's abnormal mood of first joy and then sadness, her expression was slightly stunned, she looked up at him slightly, and did not say much, but silently took Xiao Zhao'er and hugged her in her arms, also silent.

Since the last time she was imprisoned by Li Chengqian in the "Zhiqiu Pavilion", Wu Mei rarely said more words in front of Li Chengqian, but silently fulfilled her obligations and duties as the crown princess, took care of the children, and was filial to the queen mother.

However, when she is alone with Li Chengqian, Wu Mei's whole person will become extremely indifferent, and Wu Mei has no expectations for this man who has never put her in her heart.

As for Wu Mei's attitude, Li Chengqian was surprisingly unimpressed, not angry, not annoyed, and even with his attitude towards Wu Mei, it was much better than before, maybe for Li Chengqian, the crown prince. This kind of crown princess is what he needs.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. The thugs are back. In the silence of the hall, Li Qing, the chief attendant of the East Palace, bowed down and walked in from the outside, respectfully bowed to Li Chengqian and Wu Mei, and then shrieked back to Li Chengqian.

"Well, what are the results of the investigation? Putting down the teacup in his hand, the expression on Li Chengqian's face returned to his previous clarity, nodded lightly at Li Qing, and asked in a low voice.

"Back to His Royal Highness, after learning of the death of Concubine Yin, His Royal Highness King Wu did not show any abnormality, and still ran happily around the courtyard with a broom used by his subordinates." Li Qingqing replied: "According to some people, His Royal Highness King Wu should be really crazy. ”

"Really? It seems that he is really thinking too much. Hearing this, Li Chengqian's mood seemed to be somewhat better, and he could hear that his biological mother had passed away without showing his face, but with Li You's kid's deeds, he couldn't do it. So. Regarding Li You's madness, Li Chengqian finally really believed it, and there was one less threat to compete with him, for him. Not a bad thing.

"Okay, since the fifth brother is really crazy, let the subordinates who stay with him take more care of him in the future, how can I say that he is also a lonely brother, my prince of the Tang Dynasty, don't treat him badly." He commanded Li Qing with affection, and when he saw Li Qing bending down, Li Chengqian continued: "Also, three days later will be the birthday of the queen mother." There are a lot of things in the palace this year, and the queen mother's birthday banquet will be held in the East Palace, so you will order to go down, let the people below be diligent, and don't lose your dignity in front of those foreign ministers. ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. The villain made a note of it. Li Qing was busy bowing down, and was about to retire after receiving the prince's orders. But I heard Li Chengqian say: "Well, there is." Have you prepared the birthday gift that I told you to prepare some time ago? ”

"Reply to Your Highness. Even His Highness is about to report to His Highness without asking the villain." Listening to Li Chengqian's question, Li Qing was busy with the most paid children's day, please go to the foot union to keep an eye on this o still "figure, bow back and say!" "In the past few months, the villain has been secretly looking for a few treasures and treasures of the queen's birthday, and a few days ago I really found a treasure

"Oh? What kind of treasure is it? Brought a little interest by Li Qing's words, Li Chengqian shook his body slightly and looked at Li Qing with interest.

"It's a piece of blood jade phoenix. Carefully looking up at their master, Li Qing continued: "According to the person who sold him, this blood jade phoenix was obtained by his ancestor from the Tubo Snow Region a hundred years ago, not to mention the pure texture and priceless price, the key is that it has a side ornament that is ineffective.

Slightly hanging Li Chengqian's mouth, Li Qing paused slightly, and seeing that His Royal Highness looked up at him again, Li Qing bent down again and continued: "It is said that it is often hung on the body to calm the mind and strengthen the body." Regarding this point, the villain has asked the Imperial Doctor to ask Lord Ren for verification, although the Imperial Doctor Ren is not too sure, but he can be sure that this jade does have the power of calming the gods. ”

"It just so happens that the villain has always carried it with him, Your Highness, please take a look." As he spoke, Li Qing put his hand into his sleeve, took out a rectangular box of about three inches from his cuff, and respectfully handed it to His Royal Highness with both hands.

"Since it is said by the commissioner's order, there should be no fake, and I don't want to have such strange things on these." Opening the sandalwood locket and looking at the red jade pendant lying quietly inside, Li Chengqian couldn't help but admire, not to mention that its exquisite and delicate carving skills were only seen by Li Chengqian in his life, but it was the feeling of this jade and when he started. It made Li Chengqian's heart suddenly certain, and Fang Cai's somewhat troubled mood also quieted down suddenly.

"Although the queen mother has always been simple, and she doesn't like those luxurious things very much, but this piece of blood jade phoenix, if you want to come to the queen mother, she will not refuse." At the first glance of it, Li Chengqian knew what the queen mother's birthday gift was going to give this time, holding the blood jade in his hand, Li Chengqian played back and forth to observe, and it took a long time. Seeing that Li Qing was still standing under the regular ground, he said in a loud voice: "You have done a good job on this errand, don't go to the account to get ten pieces of silver by yourself, and don't forget about other errands, go!" ”

"Thank you for the reward from His Royal Highness the Prince, the errand villain assigned by His Royal Highness will definitely do his best, and the villain will retire first." Ten pieces of silver are not decimals, they are all on his regular money in the palace for two or three years. So after hearing the reward from His Royal Highness, Li Qing smiled a little, although he didn't have many places to spend money in the palace, and he didn't have any relatives to spend, but having more money in his hand was not a bad thing, right?

"Jade is good jade. I will like it even if I want to come to my mother." When Li Qing went down, seeing that Li Chengqian was still there constantly playing with the blood jade phoenix in his hand, without the slightest intention of wanting to go out, Wu Mei couldn't help but whisper: "But before the queen mother's birthday, does His Royal Highness have other things to deal with?" ”

"Oh?" Retracting his mind from the blood jade, Li Chengqian turned his head and glanced at Wu Mei in some surprise, why did she take the initiative to talk to herself today?

"You mean Concubine Yin's funeral?" Li Chengqian is not stupid, although he is a little surprised by Wu Mei's remarks. However, he quickly understood the implicit meaning of Wu Mei's words.

"Concubine Yin Niangniang died, and Li You, the parent under her knees, was crazy and crazy, different from ordinary people, so that Concubine Yin Niangniang's spirit did not even have a cousin who guarded the spirit and sent incense on the side, it was very desolate" Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't seem to have the intention of going to the Yin Concubine Ling to see, Wu Mei sighed lightly in her heart, and couldn't help mentioning it again: "And the palace is a junior, although he and the king of Qi are not the same mother, but they are also brothers with blood relatives

"The concubine knows. Regarding the various actions of Yin Shi Niangniang against the queen mother and the emperor, His Royal Highness has a mustard in his heart. "One day husband and wife, although they are already disheartened by Li Chengqian, Wu Mei can't bear to watch a great opportunity slip away by Li Chengqian's side in vain, or be the first to be taken by others.

"Still. No matter what Concubine Yin did during her lifetime, it has now passed, even if her father and the emperor have forgiven her for her mistakes in life and gave her a funeral for her concubine? ”

After speaking, Wu Mei stood up, held the press and slowly walked into the inner hall, not caring about Li Chengqian's reaction after listening to her words, in her thoughts, no matter whether Li Ziqian listened or not, as long as she said what she should say, she left.

"This female Lu" used to underestimate her a little and put away the blood jade in her hand, Li Chengqian was a little surprised and surprised to see Wu Mei holding the child into the inner hall, Wu Mei just said that the height was the same as what the queen mother said to herself yesterday, it was the same.
