"No, no, don't be angry. I'll never say it again. Ziqing saw that my body was trembling with anger, and quickly stood up and pulled me, and hurriedly explained, "I have always refused to fight this, I just want you to treat me like before, you see now, you treat the imperial brother better than me, Jiu'er, I would rather exchange the position of the crown prince for your care." ”

His tone was full of loneliness, which made me unbearable, but how could his future be ruined.

I brushed his hand away from my shoulder, a little hated that iron could not be made of steel, "In the future, no matter what happens, I don't want to hear you say spineless words again." Seeing that his face was gloomy, he continued, "Seek his position in his position, a good man has ambitions in all directions, if you are for me, you don't even want the position of prince, I don't recognize such an ambitious friend." ”

stood up and hesitated a few steps, no longer looking at him, a little resentful, and unwilling, "Although I am a princess, I am not free, and I can't even control my own destiny. And what about you, now that the great opportunity is in front of you, you are hesitant, Ziqing, you are only ten years old, you still have decades to go, your ambition, so many people look at the status why you are so easy to give up. ”

I was a little indignant, turned around and looked at him with some disappointment, I knew he didn't like power after half a year of getting along, but I didn't think about it...... I know that he is just a child, he wants the attention of others, but time passes, day by day, and he grows up, if he buries his future for those shallow cares, he will lose his life at any time, if he is the prince, who dares to frame him blatantly.

"Jiu'er, if I do a good job as this prince, will you still be the same as before, and no longer alienate me?" I said so much, he didn't doubt or agree, just stood quietly in front of me and asked calmly.

"Yes, as long as you can protect yourself and take care of yourself, I will always treat you as before." Such a good person, how can I be willing to let him suffer any harm for me.

He took my hand again and swore that "I promise you that I will be the most capable prince in the south and the best monarch in the future of the south." Jiu'er, when I reign in the world, I will give you freedom. It doesn't matter if you leave the palace, you can go anywhere, as long as you are happy. ”

His expression was so serious that it didn't look like a joke at all, and I instantly thought that it was an adult and not a child standing in front of me.

But I forgot that the child in the palace had always been sensible early, and his mind was probably far beyond his age. Give me freedom? I'm afraid that at that time, I don't know where I am.

"Hmm. Just believe in you. ”

When he said what was on his mind, he laughed instead. I alienated him for his good, but I didn't want this kid to misunderstand after all, just like before, I didn't hear a few people gossip, and I didn't see Huang Fuchen blame anything.

After leaving lunch, he went back, saying that he wanted to study diligently and not disappoint me, and I was naturally happy to see him sort out his mind so quickly, so I asked Sang Ma to pack him a box of snacks and take it, and sent the little eunuch to send him back.

The last time I went to the Temple of the Gods to meet the emperor, I didn't dare to pass by there for half a month. At that time, Chu Lige's hand injury had healed, and there was no root cause left, which made me feel a lot more relieved.

Now that the affairs of the court are so complicated, Qi Hao and Ziqing have become increasingly hostile, if I don't do anything, I can only watch them gradually leave, there are countless brothers who have fought for the throne throughout the ages, Tang Taizong, Yongzheng is the best example.

In the entire palace, the only one who can speak and help me find a way is Chu Mo, it seems that he is really my only reliance, and I am really grateful to that senior for leaving such a life-saving charm for me.

Thinking so in his heart, he planned to do so, so he asked the ancestors of Sang Ma to go around the temple of the gods, wander around, and come back to tell that the emperor was not there, so he hurriedly got into the Luan car and went straight there.

"Jiu'er, what kind of wind is blowing you here, so you are not afraid of meeting the emperor again?" Chu Mo's immortal-like face was still smiling, still dressed in white, still handsome, as if time had stopped on him, not stained with dust or fireworks.

"Don't laugh, I just want to ask you, Your Majesty, why did you suddenly set up Ziqing?" I sat on the lotus stool, thinking about it but couldn't figure it out, holding my cheeks and continuing to ask, "You are the high priest, if you want to say that you don't know, I don't believe it." ”

"Girl, Master is just astrology, I don't know what's strange." Chu Lige has been a lot more honest since he made a mistake last time, and he no longer goes to my Yilan Hall to rely on, nor does he quarrel with me anymore, which is really unaccustomed.

Chu Mo shook the folding fan in his hand and nodded at my head, the corners of his mouth raised shallowly, and a few words came out of his mouth, "Love the house and Wu, the emperor has never changed." ”

I looked at his fan, there was only one bluegrass on it, which must not be an unusual thing, and I thought that it was only early spring, and it was the cold time, so he was not afraid of freezing into the wind cold. He snatched it away, folded it in his hand and folded it again, and laughed, "Can you stop shaking this fan?" It shook my head and made me dizzy, and if you take a folding fan in this weather, you really think you are a literati and ink artist. ”

"Girl, don't make trouble, return it to the master quickly." When Lige saw that I had taken the fan, his face changed and he said loudly.

Isn't it just a fan, as for being so nervous?

Chu Mo opened his mouth, and there didn't seem to be displeasure in his tone, "Leave the song, it's okay, if she wants to play, just play." ”

"A fan, why are you so nervous?" I'm a little puzzled, is this something valuable?

Lige looked at Chu Mo, then at me, and said in a low voice, "This is given to Master by the person in Master's heart, and no one else can touch it on weekdays, but now you are here to let you play with it." ”

So that's the case, no wonder Chu Lige is so nervous, this is his master's token of affection.

"It's me who is not good, my hands are fast, Chu Mo, don't be angry, I'll put it down for you." Laughing a little embarrassed, he put the folding fan in his hand on the table.

"The things of the old people, don't care so much, it's just that I'm stubborn and haven't let go." Chu Mo's voice was a little lonely, but only a hint, after saying this, he became the high priest again, and his voice was a little colder, "In recent days, the Shi family has been in turmoil, and some people have rumored that Prime Minister Shi secretly colluded with the Jin Kingdom with the intention of rebelling, and now the Shi family and daughter are already queens, and the emperor's two dragon descendants have the blood of the Shi family. ”

Hearing him say this, I was shocked, the two princes have the blood of the Shi family, that is to say, Qi Hao and Ziqing's mother are the daughters of the Shi family, this Prime Minister Shi actually sacrificed two daughters for the sake of power, such a father is really terrible.

"Then they all have the blood of the Shi family in them, why don't they have an eldest son? Why did the emperor snub Ziqing for so many years? ”

Chu Mo looked at me, then at Ziqing, and said slowly, "Back then, Concubine Hua was killed by the current queen and her own sister, and the emperor always knew that he just didn't want to investigate." He sighed, paused and continued, "At that time, the emperor had just inherited the unification, and the country was unstable, Shi Brahma, an old minister of the two dynasties, married his two daughters to the emperor, one is to help the emperor stabilize the country, and the other is to stabilize his position as prime minister, but he doesn't want the emperor to only devote himself to his sister and ignore his sister, the rain and dew cannot be evenly distributed, and the favor cannot be equally divided, so even if the elder sister gave birth to the prince before the younger sister, the emperor has not been canonized. ”

Heh, sister, family affection, where will there be a few true feelings in this palace, I swallowed my saliva and asked eagerly, "Then what about later, how did Concubine Hua Niangniang get killed." ”

Hearing my urgent inquiry, Chu Mo blinked, "Later?" Later, the queen bought the midwife, and let Concubine Hua die under the blood collapse after giving birth to the second prince. ”

"Huh? Master, women are so terrible, their own sisters are all under their hands. Chu Lige exclaimed, which also made my heart tremble, and casually defended, "Not all women are like this. ”

Chu Mo took a sip of tea and said loudly, "Don't make any noise, listen to what I said, the grandmother who also lost still has a little conscience, took the child out to the emperor, and committed suicide in the room in a few days." Because Concubine Hua had always been unwilling to join the Shi family in persecuting the emperor, when Concubine Hua died, Shi Brahma never came to see her. Chu Mo's voice was a little sad, "Later, the emperor canonized her sister as the queen, but did not set up a prince, and he was afraid that he would be too fond of the second prince and attract the queen's jealousy and hatred, so he gradually became estranged, and the Shi family saw that the second prince was not favored, so he naturally did not get close, and now, in such a situation, the eldest prince must not be established as the prince, otherwise the whole country will really fall into the Shi family." set up two princes, one is to fulfill the emperor's wishes, and the other is to stabilize the Shi family, even if they don't like it, they will take care of their own family's children after all. ”
