The Great Khan nodded to the crown prince with satisfaction, and said to the queen with appreciation:

"The queen teaches her son well, the crown prince is really becoming more and more sensible, and it is not in vain that your father and mother care for you, okay, your father and mother have approved, you must take care of your second brother and your little sister, you know? I'll leave the two of them to you, you have to be careful! ”

The crown prince bowed his head and bowed, but the Great Khan was too happy to notice that after the crown prince knelt down, the gloom of his face instantly occupied his eyes:

"Yes, Father Khan, please rest assured, unless Concubine Ling wants to call the second brother to accompany her, the son promises to take care of the second brother and the younger sister at the banquet at the table outside."

Seeing that the crown prince and the queen were so reasonable, the Great Khan felt a little ashamed in his heart, and felt guilty for his occasional flashes of thoughts about replacing the queen and the crown prince, he knew that Xiaohu didn't care about the queen's position, but Xiaohu cared about whether her son would be suppressed by the crown prince in the future, after all, in the past three years, Xiaohu has gradually understood some of the sinister aspects of this harem.

Now it seems that the queen and the crown prince are really thinking about Ling Guifei, first they wronged the queen and caused Ling Guifei's fainting, and closed her in the palace, the queen not only did not resent, but also sent the crown prince to help Ling Guifei go to the palace to find this immortal medicine Lingzhi, but also directly woke up Xiaohu, and then has been caring for Ling Guifei, even if Ling Guifei rarely comes to the queen's palace to ask for peace, the queen has not once said to the Great Khan that Ling Guifei is half bad.

Now, the Great Khan is worried that the other concubines and the queen will hold this winter solstice banquet together, which will make Ling Guifei ugly, so he did everything possible to get the queen mother to agree, this year the queen mother will hold this winter solstice banquet, this time he came over to explain to the queen, worried that the queen would be angry, and then resented Ling Guifei, but I didn't expect that the queen was so sensible, not only not angry at all, but also willing to let the crown prince accompany the little prince and the little princess to eat outside.

This shows that the crown prince is very trusting of the Great Khan, at this moment, the crown prince should have stood beside the Great Khan, and received the congratulations of the ministers, and it was also the time when he was alienated from his prestige, but he was willing to accompany him to stay with the female relatives for the sake of the second brother, you know, the second brother and the concubine Ling were separated, Xiaohu was very reluctant, and this problem was solved, the crown prince was indeed thoughtful, and bold, it is indeed the hope of this Hull in the future, The Great Khan could not help but glance at the crown prince and empress again with admiration, and said cheerfully:

"The crown prince is reading better and better, and he is also very filial, and he lives up to his father Khan's lofty expectations for you!"

When the Empress and the Crown Prince heard that the Great Khan had once again clearly demonstrated the status of the Crown Prince, they were overjoyed, and knelt down together and said:

"Xie Da Khan!"

"Xie Father Khan!"

The Great Khan stretched out his hand to help the two of them, sat down again and laughed and talked for a while, then rewarded some unusual jewels, etc., and turned to leave.

After the figure of the Great Khan turned the corner, the crown prince was silent for a long time, and said to the queen mother in a very low voice:

"Queen Mother, didn't you say that Father Khan wanted to retreat to the mountains and forests with Concubine Ling's mother and son? Why does it feel that Father Khan is now completely immersed in the small family life of his father's love and filial piety? Now they don't have that idea again? ”

The Empress shook her head slowly at the crown prince, and then whispered in the same voice:

"I'm afraid that the current Great Khan and Concubine Ling have already indulged in such a happy time in the harem, and then let them have the idea of going to the wilderness and mountains to live, I'm afraid it's not so easy, by the way, my son, there may be some foul language and untruths in the palace now, you must not be confused by those, they are jealous of your current status, you just need to do what you have to do, everything else will be dealt with later, do you understand?"

The light in the queen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the light that shone out of the queen had a trace of coldness.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the son understands! I won't miss it again this time! ”

Although the scene is not so grand, but the etiquette is very particular about the winter solstice feast began, in this Hull Kingdom, is very important to the winter solstice this festival, because the herdsmen to the winter solstice, basically to rest the beginning, the family has already stored enough grain and grass, cattle and sheep have long been well encircled into the circle, the rest is to go to the sheepfold every day, the cowshed, feed the stored grass and fodder, generally after the winter solstice, immediately after the first snow, and then the heavy snow is coming, People will go out less and less often to visit friends and travel around, so this festival is basically the last festival before the winter break for the people of Hull, so it will be the most important, and the people who come will be the most complete.

And in this palace of Hull, in order to celebrate this festival of the whole people, of course, a series of very strict and important etiquette has been handed down.

In the past, the annual winter solstice banquet was carried out in the queen's palace, but because the year before, Ling Guifei's young son had just turned two years old, Ling Guifei was unwilling to let him eat on the man's side, worried that people would not take good care of him, but the queen strictly followed the etiquette, and had to put the little prince in the man's hall. It has also been reduced a lot, but the Great Khan knows that there is no way to do it, because after all, it is also a matter of etiquette for the crown prince and the second prince to sit down as male guests.

But this year, this winter solstice banquet was held directly in the queen mother's palace, the queen mother likes her grandson to accompany her, so she directly made a decree to the three royal grandsons and granddaughters to accompany her, so directly in the side hall between the male and female guests set a table, specially let the crown prince and the second prince and the little princess eat and drink alone at will, even the grandmothers and little maids who take care of them don't have to shy away anymore, all take good care of it, although this request was made by the crown prince, but after all, there is the queen mother's will, Then no one will say anything more.

In the side hall, the crown prince was patiently putting the dishes held by chopsticks in the second prince's plate, and the waiting grandmother quickly thanked the crown prince, and then put it to the mouth for the crown prince, and the second prince also thanked the crown prince in a crisp voice:

"Thank you, brother Crown Prince."
