Chapter 103: The Ruthless Emperor
"Niangniang, Concubine Xiao is becoming more and more rampant now, what should we do?" In the Weiyang Palace, a weak woman asked with a sad face, now there are three princes under the saint, this is Concubine Liu, who has two princes.
Concubine Liu was Ye Qiu's concubine when she was still the prince, and later gave birth to a son who was promoted to Liangdi, after Ye Qiu succeeded to the throne, she gave the concubine the position to live in Qingyu Palace, when Xiao Guifei had not yet entered the palace, Concubine Liu was quite favored, and also regarded Queen Li as an opponent, but after Xiao Guifei entered the palace, Concubine Liu was suppressed to have a miscarriage and it was difficult to conceive in the future.
"What can I do?" Li Yanlan showed a wry smile, "The queen mother spoils her, the emperor loves her, I don't have any extravagant hopes now, I just want Ah Jin to grow up safely." ”
No one knows her current situation better than her, it is estimated that Cining Palace and Ganquan Palace are waiting for her and the prince to make mistakes, and then there will be an excuse to abolish them, and she even has to be glad that they are still needed at the border now The Li family, otherwise her position as the queen would already be in jeopardy.
"Queen, you can't be so unambitious!" Concubine Liu is in a hurry, if something happens to the queen and the crown prince, won't Concubine Xiao's next target be her and her emperor? She can't just sit still!
"You, I have an idea here...... Concubine Liu looked around and said cautiously, but before she could finish speaking, the attendant outside the door came in to say goodbye.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Second Prince have come to say goodbye."
Li Yanlan motioned for Concubine Liu to shut up, and then said with a smile: "Please let them in." ”
"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." There are two seven-year-old and five-year-old boys who came in, the older one has a trace of heroism between his eyebrows, and his expression is serious and serious, this is the current prince Ye Huaijin, and the smaller one has more delicate eyebrows, with a bun face, a pair of big eyes with a little naughtiness, he is the second prince Ye Huaixin from Concubine Liu.
"Hurry up, why didn't you go to class today?" Li Yanlan now only has a hint of happiness in front of her son.
"The Taifu asked for leave today, so I will take the imperial brother to the queen mother to say goodbye." Even if he is here with his mother, Ye Huaijin's rules are still meticulous, Li Yanlan is distressed when she looks at it, the prince is only seven years old, but because of those intrigues and intrigues, he has to grow up, in the final analysis, it is still useless for her to be a mother.
"Have you ever been to Cining Palace?" Li Yanlan asked worriedly, if the emperor didn't go to the queen mother, but came to him first, I can't say that the queen mother and Xiao Guifei had trouble again.
"Just came over there."
"Did the Queen Mother explain anything?"
"The queen mother can rest assured that her sons have abided by the etiquette of the Taifu Sect today."
As soon as Li Yanlan heard this, she knew that the queen mother did not catch the prince's fault today, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, no wonder she was worried, the queen mother once blamed the prince's rules for not being in place, and forced the saint to depose the prince's position, or the imperial history of the court and the central government strongly opposed it to success.
Since Xiao Guifei gave birth to the three princes, the queen mother has regarded their mother and son as a thorn in her side, although she will not want the emperor's life, but the first choice of the prince in her mind is the third prince, for this reason, she and the prince have always paid special attention to the rules and dare not make any mistakes.
"Queen Mother, look at my ......" Concubine Liu on the side hesitated to speak at this time holding the second prince.
Li Yanlan raised her eyes and looked, five-year-old Ye Huaixin still didn't understand the darkness in the palace, and saw that he had always been lively and couldn't sit still at this time, and he was about to go out to play with Concubine Liu.
The child was born exquisitely, with a small body and fleshy body, lying in the arms of his mother and coquettish, Li Yanlan couldn't help but smile: "Take him out, pay attention to safety." ”
"Yes, the concubine Xie is sympathetic."
"Niangniang, Shun's father-in-law asks to see you." As soon as Concubine Liu went out, the waiter who was waiting outside hurriedly came in to say goodbye.
Li Yanlan frowned slightly, although it was fifteen today, it was not yet noon at this time, and she really couldn't figure out what would happen to her father-in-law when she came over at this time.
"Invite him in."
"Wow."
Although Gonggong Shun is the great eunuch who serves closely by the saint's side, but because he has been by Ye Qiu's side since he was a child, and his mind is active, he is not very old, even so, whether it is the harem or the previous dynasty, few people dare to despise him.
"Say hello to the Queen." Even though she is almost unfavored as a queen, Father-in-law Shun has never despised her, which is one of the things he can be.
"Get up and sit down." Li Yanlan put away all her expressions, leaving only noble and dignified, but not annoying.
"The mother is tormenting the slave." Father-in-law Shun did not sit down, but said respectfully, "Your Majesty heard that the prince asked for leave today, and asked His Royal Highness the prince to go to the imperial study." ”
"Did Your Majesty say anything?" Li Yanlan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked him, this is something that has never happened since he ascended the throne.
Father-in-law Shun smiled: "Niangniang, please rest assured, Your Majesty is just asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his homework." ”
Even if she explained it like this, Li Yanlan didn't let go of her heart, but the emperor didn't summon her, she couldn't do anything, and now she only begged the emperor's performance not to anger the emperor.
In the imperial study, Ye Qiu saw Father-in-law Shun return and put down the brush in his hand.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
"Let him in."
"Wow!"
Even if he was precocious, but in the face of his father, who had always been serious, Ye Huaijin was still very apprehensive, he knelt down in a proper manner, and his tone was respectful: "The son asks his father to say goodbye." ”
"Well, get up."
I don't know if it's his delusion, Ye Huaijin always felt that his father's words just now seemed a little kind?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was frightened by his guess and quickly lowered his head.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu didn't have much Yan, and asked directly, "What is Taifu teaching recently?" ”
"Back to my father, the Taifu is teaching his sons the Book of Rites today."
"Can you practice martial arts?"
Well? Ye Huaijin was stunned when he heard this, he thought that his father would ask him about what he had learned, why did he suddenly turn to learning martial arts?
However, his reaction was very fast, and he immediately said: "Taifu said that Erchen is still too young to practice martial arts. ”
Ye Qiu instructed his father-in-law Shun: "Little Shunzi, send someone to inform the Taifu that in the future, the time of His Royal Highness the Prince's class will be changed to the time of the Emperor." ”
Father-in-law Shun didn't get Ye Qiu's meaning, but as an internal servant, the most important thing is to be obedient: "Chirp, the slave will arrange it." ”
"Father?" Ye Huaijin looked at Ye Qiu in astonishment.
"I'll go to the martial arts training ground in the future."
"Yes." Ye Huaijin muttered in his heart, is he going to start practicing martial arts? I don't know which general it is, but it's a pity that his most admired uncle is on the frontier at this time and can't be his teacher.
"You said the prince spent a whole day in the imperial study today?" In Ganquan Palace, Concubine Xiao Guifei glared angrily at her subordinates.
"Hui Niangniang, yes."
"What about the emperor now?" Xiao Rou's face was gloomy, and the people around her knelt on the ground, trembling.
"The emperor has gone to Weiyang Palace." The palace man replied cautiously.
"It's all rubbish!"
