"Brother Huang, are you getting older, why are you more and more nagging?" Thirteen saw that the more the emperor spoke, the more sad he became, so he quipped.

The emperor sighed: "I am really alone, you were not there before, Xiao Jiu also left, I sat on this dragon chair to know how lonely this emperor is, and I don't even have a trustworthy confidant to confide in." ”

When Thirteen heard this, he immediately sympathized with the powerful brother in front of him, and looked at him with affection in his eyes.

"Brother Huang, your time on the throne is still short, the foundation is not stable, and the matter of Xiao Jiu Rangxian, it was the imperial grandmother who helped you support it before, and now you must not break the relationship with the imperial grandmother because of a woman, the imperial grandmother is not an ordinary person." Thirteen said earnestly.

"Sure enough, it's my own sister, and the analysis of the stakes is so proper, but Thirteen, Gao Lan, she is a different woman to me-" The emperor said, and his eyes flashed infinitely.

Thirteen nodded, and there was something more mature than this age in his face: "This sister naturally knows that none of the women in the palace are the pawns of the ministers of the court, and they are all looking forward to relying on the power of the harem to consolidate their position in the court, but everything has its unspoken rules, and you, as the emperor, have to adapt to such unspoken rules." My mother has always told me that no matter which of my brothers is the emperor, my younger sister must assist him well and remind him, because only I really think about him. ”

After hearing this, the emperor was quite moved: "The mother concubine is really well-intentioned." ”

Seeing that there was a turning point, Thirteen struck while the iron was hot: "I know that Gao Lan is really a rare love for the imperial brother, but being born in the emperor has the helplessness of the emperor's family." Gao Lan is a woman in the rivers and lakes, she is used to being free, how can you imprison her in this small palace. ”

The emperor listened but was not moved, but said flatly: "Thirteen, the emperor understands your words, don't worry, since I am the king of a country, I will definitely balance all this." ”

Thirteen smiled: "When the imperial brother said so, Thirteen was relieved." Let's find a chance to confess my mistake to the imperial grandmother. ”

On the second day, above the court.

"Your Majesty, this time the king of Xiushu brought the queen to greet him in person, I don't know which lady my court will appoint to accompany you?" Huang Guogong slightly tested the emperor's tone.

"This ......" The emperor pretended to be in doubt and frowned slightly.

But he quickly threw the ball to the ministers in the court: "Do you think it is appropriate for Aiqing to choose which concubine?" ”

The emperor is still young, and he has not yet established the queen, and today it is rare to encounter a big scene of a visit from a diplomatic country, and whoever accompanies the emperor is equivalent to sitting on the throne of the queen in the future.

So the courtiers were in an uproar and talked about it. are all platforms for the mothers of each family.

The emperor also knew that they had ghosts in their hearts, so he said amazingly: "Of course, I want to choose the most noble woman, who does Aiqing think is the most noble woman in the world?" ”

The ministers of the DPRK and China did not know the emperor's intention for asking this for a while, and they all thought about it silently.

Ding Quan understood and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has an idea. ”

The emperor turned his face to look at Ding Quan: "Father-in-law Ding, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ding Quan said loudly: "The old slave thinks that the most noble woman in the world is none other than the Empress Dowager and the old ancestor. ”

The emperor smiled proudly: "Oh, Ding Quan, Ding Quan, what you said makes me powerless to refute ah, indeed, the imperial grandmother assists the imperial ancestor, the first emperor, I, the three dynasties, is really the smartest and most noble woman in the world, then let the empress dowager accompany me to greet and meet the country." ”

Hearing such a statement, the ministers did not dare to criticize more, and said in unison: "The emperor is blessed, and the empress dowager is blessed." ”

Yao's father-in-law hurriedly ran in, and the Empress Dowager was drinking bird's nest porridge, seeing him so flustered: "Little Yaozi, you are not young, why are you still so reckless." ”

"Ancestor, just now the emperor was above the court and praised you for coming." Father-in-law Yao looked delighted.

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager put down the bowl, "Then tell me how that kid praised me?" ”

"The emperor said, ancestor, you are the most noble woman in the world, assisting the emperor of the three dynasties, you are the most intelligent woman, so it was decided that you and the emperor will welcome the distinguished guests together."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager laughed: "My grandson, the emperor, is extremely smart, which not only alleviated the rumors that I disagreed with him in public, but also blocked the mouths of the courtiers who wanted to win for their daughters, the so-called killing two birds with one stone." Hehe, this kid is a thief. ”

Father-in-law Yao raised his head and looked: "That is also our emperor really has an ancestor in his heart, the emperor praised, and the ministers in the court were extremely submissive." ”

Father-in-law Yao's words amused the Empress Dowager very much.

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly: "This emperor, he has been stubborn since he was a child, refuses to bow his head, and never admits defeat." This is very similar to the emperor. Let's talk about Gao Lan's matter when the wedding ceremony of the thirteenth is over. ”

Today's sun seems to come out very early, and it is very bright.

The clouds in the east glow over Phnom Penh.

The palace was full of joy.

Concubine Qin got up early and dressed up calmly.

"Niangniang, what kind of clothes are you wearing today? Either that's the big red one, festive one. Cui'e asked.

Who knew that Concubine Qin said slowly: "Take out the most elegant one under the box, I haven't worn it for a few years, I don't know if there are pleats ......."

"Huh? Mother, it's a big day. Cui'e was surprised and reminded.

Concubine Qin smiled wryly: "It's because of the big day that I have to dress a little more carefully." Go and prepare, don't delay the time to greet the imperial grandmother. ”

Cui'e said casually: "I don't have to ask for peace today, it is estimated that the Empress Dowager is also preparing to welcome the envoys." ”

Concubine Qin's voice suddenly became extremely feminine and sonorous: "I have to go today." There was a slight smile in his eyes.

Concubine Qin came to Yuqing Palace and sat down according to the custom.

Mama Wu said: "Concubine Qin is really diligent, I came so early in the morning, I was about to help my ancestors wear dresses, it just so happened that you came, help me together, I'm afraid that I'm old, my eyes are not good, I haven't worn such a formal court dress for a long time, I'm afraid of mistakes." ”

Concubine Qin hurriedly smiled and said: "Where is Mama Wu, if you have bad eyes, there will be no one in this palace who can call, the imperial grandmother is used to relying on you for everything, and we juniors are afraid that we juniors will not be at ease." ”

The Empress Dowager got up and took Qin'er's hand: "Qin'er is very careful, I have known you since I was a child, and I can rest assured that you are doing things for the emperor's grandmother." ”

Concubine Qin and Mama Wu worked together to help the Empress Dowager finish the rectification.

"Imperial grandmother, there is no one in the world who has unparalleled majesty." Concubine Qin couldn't help but praise.

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother couldn't close her mouth happily.
