Guan Xian didn't know why, as soon as he heard his mother mention Li Yu, especially as long as he thought that because he was out of curiosity, he left Li Yu behind his mother's back, and the guide might put Li Yu in danger, the more he regretted his decision at the time, and he hated his mother even more, so he lost control for a while, resisted with his mother, and said so heavy things.

In the past, he always heard that when a certain prince was visiting the imperial garden, he actually took a fancy to a palace maid who planted flowers and made her a side concubine, he felt that this kind of thing was very ridiculous, after all, in his opinion, where would a man look at a woman with only one glance, and be so obsessed with it.

But he recently discovered that he seemed to have moved his mind to Li Yu, who had only met him once or twice, and wanted to keep her by his side for the rest of his life, which was probably what those princes said about love at first sight, but he didn't expect him to be so superficial after reading poetry and books for so many years.

The queen was shocked, raised her eyebrows and closed her eyes, and sighed, "It turns out that my precious son thinks of me like this!" ”

She opened her eyes later, her eyes calm, and she looked at him and continued, "But it doesn't matter, no matter how much you think of me, how much you try to get rid of my control, it's just in vain. ”

"As long as you live, you will be my son in this life, and I will always control you."

"Besides, I don't care what you think about that little girl, but as you said, for the sake of your uncle's interests, I will definitely not agree with you and that wild girl, so you should die as soon as possible."

"And I might as well tell you, I have taken a fancy to Shen Ling, the daughter of the Shang Shu family, and I will go to your father and the emperor to ask for a decree and make her your future crown princess, I will inform you first, you are mentally prepared."

Guan Xian lowered his eyes in disappointment and looked at the ground.

I expected this to be the case, didn't you?! Although he sat in the study all day long and re-read books, he knew very well what the political situation was in the court now. Uncle has always relied on himself to hold a large number of soldiers and horses, so he does not put his father in his eyes, only Li Shu and Li Cheng in this court dare to argue with his uncle and stand on his father's side, so for so many years, on the surface, it seems that there is nothing to do for the time being, but when the storm comes, it is always so calm, and the dark waves under the lake have long been turbulent.

The choice of a concubine for him this time is fake, but in fact it is to strengthen the power of his uncle, he is just a chess piece in the hands of his mother, and if he uses it well, he is a good chess piece, and if he uses it badly, it is just an ornament.

He knew very well in his heart that if one day his uncle's power became even stronger, his mother would definitely support his uncle as king, and he would either be pulled off the horse directly, or continue to be a puppet.

It's just that he can't do anything, he can only rely on his mother to control him, he hates and is so helpless, a man can't even get a woman he loves, what kind of man is he!

At this time, the powerful eunuch Hua Gonggong next to the emperor Guan Hai walked in and passed the emperor's message to pass on Guan Xian, and the queen turned around and pulled him and said, "I will go to your father's side and answer carefully, remember that I am your only mother, and he is the father of many princes." ”

Guan Xian nodded, and kept up with the footsteps of the playman.

Chengqian Palace.

Emperor Guan Hai was bowing his head and approving the fold behind the desk, and after the duke reported, Guan Xian pushed open the door and walked in.

"Xian'er is here!"

Looking up at him is Guan Hai's face that is neither affectionate, but also does not look rusty, in Guan Xian's memory, this father has always been so cold to him, although he was named the crown prince, he has never praised him a word so far, let alone asked him what books he reads, how he feels, and which book he has a deeper idea.

Of course, these questions were all heard by him from the eleventh prince Guan You, and he often heard him come to him to complain, and today his father took the time to check his homework, and asked him what books he had read recently, which one was the most impressive, and talked about his views. Whenever he watched him complain to him, Guan Xian was very envious, if his father also took more time, even if he paid more attention to him, he would be very happy, but he knew that these were just his imaginations.

"Hmm" Guan Xian replied respectfully to Guan Hai's eyes, and said, "Erchen has seen his father, long live his father, long live, long live", he lowered his head and listened to the movement above.

After a while, he heard Guan Hai say to him, "I heard that the Empress of Heaven yesterday chose the future crown princess for you?" ”

Guan Xian bowed his head and did not answer.

Guan Hai glanced at him and continued, "Then do you have a special impression of the young lady of which family?!" ”

Guan Xian was stunned, is it honest? No, he would definitely not throw out his thoughts before he could figure out his father's thoughts, so after thinking about it seriously, he shook his head, "No." ”

"Hmm" Guan Hai seemed to be very satisfied with his attitude, and he didn't turn around, and said directly, "I heard that you left the daughter of Prime Minister Li Cheng's family that night?" And that young lady still stayed in the palace for one night, I don't want to know what happened that day, I came to you today just to ask you, what do you think of the Miss Li family if she is your crown princess? ”

Guan Xian's brows were a little heavy, Guan Hai leaned back on the dragon chair, and said with the corners of his mouth tensed, "Don't worry about me, just say it." ”

Seeing Guan Hai's tight lip line, he clearly knew in his heart that his father's question was false, but in fact, he wanted to infer his thoughts based on the content of his answer, to see which one he was, at this time, the sentence of the queen mother's confession, "I will go to your father's side and answer carefully, remember that I am your only concubine, and he is the father of many princes" The sentence suddenly swirled into his heart.

He seems to be in dire straits, how should he answer, should he continue to listen to his mother, not tell the truth to his father, and obediently be a pawn between her and his uncle?

Or listen to his heart and answer truthfully, and he just obeyed his father's thoughts, and told him that the crown princess he wanted was Li Yu?!

For the first time, he felt that he was extremely disgusted by the fact that the woman he loved was bound to political affairs.

Guan Hai saw that he lowered his head, his hands were clenched tightly, and he seemed to be considering the stakes in this answer, he lifted the corners of his mouth, this son is really like a queen, Chen Fu is very deep, if he answers Shen Ling for a while, then this son is probably on the side of the queen, so naturally he can't place hope.

While the queen's confession lingered in his mind, those extremely boring times in childhood, adulthood, and being manipulated by the queen mother like a puppet also jumped into his heart.

He clenched his fists and bit his lip tightly, if he let go of this opportunity to surrender to his father, his father would definitely not give him such a chance in the future, maybe he would find a time to get rid of him, but if he said what he and his father wanted to hear, maybe his father would have less prejudice against him in the future, win his father's attention, and obey his heart and marry a man he loved, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?!

He frowned, weighed it again and again, and finally decided to tell his father and the plate.

He raised his head, his face full of sincerity, "Father, in fact, Erchen thinks that Li Yu of Prime Minister Li's family is good." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Guan Hai's complexion, which was originally solemn, really eased a little, but there was still a bit of sophistication in his eyes, "Xian'er really thinks so?" ”

Guan Xian's eyes jumped, and sure enough, this is what his father was waiting for. Fortunately, he had already corrected his position and chosen a good position, otherwise if he accidentally answered incorrectly, he would have let go of the opportunity to live.

Sometimes he still envies the situation of his eleventh brother, although he lost his mother at a young age, but he has the love of his father, even if his mother is eyeing him, but he still lives so free and happy, unlike him, every step has to think and think, forever trapped in such a dilemma.

He looked into Guan Hai's eyes and opened his lips respectfully, "Returning to my father, it is indeed the bottom of Xian'er's heart." ”

"Haha" Guan Hai is very happy, different from the usual strictness, this time it is rare to show a happy face in front of him, Guan Xian thought, his father's strictness is probably only for him, but these smiles have only been shown to the eleventh brother, and now he has seen it, it is also worth it.

Guan Hai relaxed his vigilance against him slightly, Guan Xian knew that when he answered like this, it meant that he made his position clear to him, and it also meant that he was on his side, and he was going to be the enemy of his mother and uncle, thinking of this, he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Guan Hai stopped smiling and said to him, "Okay, I know what you think, I'll consider taking a look, you go down first." ”

Guan Hai answered, knelt down, and went down.

When he came out of the temple, he felt more relaxed and stressed than he had ever felt before. Relaxed, presumably after hearing his thoughts, his father would give him a marriage with the girl of the Li family, and what I felt pressure was that if the mother knew about the decree that her father was about to make, how angry would she be, I am afraid that this Kun Mi Palace should be a mess again.

Guan Xian guessed well, as soon as he came out of the Chengqian Palace with his front foot, Guan Hai directly happily picked up the brush and waved it, and personally wrote the holy decree of marriage, when the queen placed the eyeliner next to the emperor revealed the content of the emperor's holy decree to her, the queen directly waved her water sleeve angrily, and threw the tea fruit on the coffee table next to her to the ground.

"The Queen's Wrath!" The palace maid and the eunuch who were serving her immediately knelt on the ground.

They tense their bodies, they don't even dare to come out, with such a master, it's really unlucky, although the monthly profit is very rich, but the pressure and survival challenges they suffer are great, if it is like this, when the queen is unhappy, accidentally provoke the queen, and will be innocently implicated.

"Get out, get out of here!" The palace maid and the eunuch immediately stood up and retreated out.

When the palace maids were almost withdrawn, she suddenly stopped one of the palace maids, that is, her personal palace maid Mingyu and said, "You stay!" ”

"Huh? Be. The door was closed, and only Mingyu and the queen were left in the room.
