The emperor looked at the empress silently, and the sadness in his eyes deepened.

Yi Rong landed with heart disease, and he was not a qualified candidate for the prince.

However, at that time, although he did not know his true heart for her, he had already decided that after he ascended the throne, the prince would be Yirong.

As for the reason......

Probably from his own experience.

In his life, he carried the expectations of his grandfather and mother, and did everything to get the position of prince.

She is the only exception.

When he was young, he didn't understand the meaning of the prince, and he didn't understand why he couldn't cry and laugh as he wanted, couldn't eat sea bass, and couldn't do jade carving if he wanted to be a prince......

At that time, he was willing to give up his preferences, but he just wanted his mother to be happy.

Later, when he was older, he understood that the prince was the one who would succeed his father as the next monarch, and that competing for the prince was a much more complicated thing than "doing it according to the standard".

Such as "benevolence", "wisdom", etc., the classics clearly list the qualities that a good prince should have.

He tried to get close to those standards, but no matter how hard he tried and did well, his father rarely noticed him, let alone praised him.

The father has six princes, but the only thing the father cares about is his eldest brother and the fourth emperor's brother.

In other words, there are only four emperor brothers.

If you don't know your preferences, you will be unpredictable, and your grandfather taught him that not revealing your preferences is the most basic quality that a person in a position should have.

He did it meticulously, but his father said that he was "young and old".

The four emperor brothers have lived happily and wantonly all their lives, never hiding their preferences, but their father has repeatedly praised the four emperor brothers for their "true temperament".

Oh, what a temperament......

At that time, he knew that the only person who could not write in the classics and was qualified to decide whether a certain prince could be a prince was the reigning emperor.

If the emperor had no intention of appointing a prince as a prince at all, that prince would be strict with himself according to the standards of the prince.

Well, it's ridiculous.

Just like him......

It was also from that time that he really had the heart to compete for savings.

It is for his grandfather's unpaid ambition, for his mother's wasted half of his life, and for his own ambition and unwillingness.

The ambition is to mourn the difficulties of the people's livelihood and want to do something for the people.

Unwillingly, I want my father to see clearly which of his sons is the prince.

On the road paved with scheming and blood to seize the throne, the brothers gradually fell, and in the end, he was the only one left on the Jinluan Hall and on the side of the dragon chair.

But even so......

Even if he was the only one left.

Even though he struggled to support the operation of this huge empire, with his support, his father was intoxicated with cultivation.

Until his death, his father did not canonize him as the prince.

Love and teaching, recognition and identity, what he had expected in his childhood and never got in his life, he wanted to give Yirong.

In the end, it backfired.

And he can't escape the blame.

……

The night of the eldest son's anniversary was the last time the emperor saw the empress.

After that night, the Queen Mother was sick, and the Queen Rong was undressed, close to the sick, and every time she tasted the decoction, she confirmed that the temperature was suitable before offering it to the Queen Mother.

Both inside and outside the government and the opposition are praised.

Although Empress Rong is sick and filial piety, and the deadline is approaching, Empress Dowager Jane's condition is still getting terminal.

The emperor thought about it, and let the queen go.

It can not only send the concubine of Dongyun, the Tong family and the servants who are waiting in the Soul Palace, but also cannot accommodate the emperor's eldest son......

Only Empress Dowager Jane is alone.

Just pay for her life, Empress Dowager Jian died unjustly.

The emperor thought like this and heard the funeral report of the Empress Dowager Jian.

After the Queen Mother died, Queen Rong, who had been ill for half a year, finally became physically exhausted and fell ill in bed.

Naturally, he was unable to preside over the funeral of Empress Dowager Jane.

The emperor personally inquired.

After that, he went to the middle palace.

Under the pretext of informing the funeral situation and exploring the disease, the emperor actually wanted to tell the queen that he would always help her do what she wanted to do.

Like, he knew that she wanted Empress Dowager Jian to pay for her life, so he replaced the inside and outside of Shoukang Palace, from the little palace maid who decocted the medicine to the imperial doctor who asked for the pulse, all of them were replaced by his people.

If she wants to kill someone, he will either do it for her or hand her a knife.

If she was willing to forgive him, he wanted to ask her how she did it......

According to the people he sent, from the type and amount of medicinal materials to the utensils and links of decoction, they were willing to help the queen cover up a thing or two, but there were no problems with those links.

The emperor prepared a lot of things he wanted to say to the queen, but unexpectedly, the queen claimed to be sick and ugly, and refused to face the saint.

As long as she was still angry in her heart, he went to visit the patient every day and waited for her to be angry.

Sometimes, through the heavy curtains, he would find it quite interesting to listen to her talking to the people around him while making folds.

For example, once she instructed someone to rummage through a firefox cloak, touched the cloak and sighed: "It's just a request from the eldest sister, but he is so attentive......"

"Firefox is rare, the traveling merchant walked for more than ten years to collect all the skins, and the cloak was finally completed, but he was long gone."

"When he died in battle, he was only eighteen years old, and he had no wife and no children......"

"It's a shame......"

The emperor followed the empress's words and speculated.

About, after Miss Rong committed suicide for love, when her life was hanging by a thread, she asked someone from the Shao family of the Dingguo Mansion who had a marriage contract to take care of her third sister.

Fire fox skins are rare, and when the traveling merchants finally collect the fox skins and make a cloak, the boy who ordered the cloak has already died in battle.

A hundred years of loyalty, the last little general of the Shao family, Shao Beicheng.

The emperor remembered the star-bright eyes of the young man in his long memory, and his heart was rarely a little stunned.

What a shame......

Inside the curtain, Empress Rong didn't know the emperor's amazement outside the curtain, and was still caressing the fire fox cloak and sighed: "When I was young, I heard my mother and eldest sister say that the Shao family has ancestral training, and the generals don't accept concubines. ”

A little palace maid responded in surprise: "Don't take a concubine?!Is there only one lady in the backyard of the generals?" ”

Another little internal official smiled and amused: "The barracks are bitter, there is only one lady, hehe...... How can the generals endure? ”

"You don't know what those big families in the capital do, even if the ancestors have decided not to accept concubines, can't they accept the house and the outer room?"

The little palace maid was startled: "Isn't that a break in the rules of the ancestors?!"

The tone of the little internal official was even more disdainful: "What are the ancestral rules in the eyes of those people, not to mention, what is the outer room of the room, and there are even more unbearable ......"

These little minions in the middle palace are too unruly in their words and actions.

The emperor's face was displeased, and Empress Rong had already interrupted the words of the little internal official: "The Shao family is upright and loyal for generations, so you must not be disrespectful!"

The displeasure on the emperor's face subsided slightly, but when he heard what the queen said next, his face immediately filled with anger.

First, the little palace maid asked the queen curiously: "Niangniang, the generals of the Shao family, are they really all in the ancestral training, and they don't accept concubines?" ”

The queen replied, "Naturally."

The little palace maid sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that the Shao family has no little general......

The little insider deliberately teased the little palace maid again: "Don't be ashamed!" Even if the Shao family still has a little general who doesn't take concubines, how can the little general marry you as a wife?!"

When the little palace maid heard this, she was probably very ashamed, so Queen Rong reprimanded the little internal official a few words, and comforted the little palace maid: "What's so embarrassing about the little general who likes the Shao family?" Da Zhou woman, who doesn't want to marry a heroic husband who doesn't accept concubines, and who doesn't envy the wives of the Shao family? ”
