Seeing that Huang Yi'an was silent, Zhang Xi thought she was stunned, so he hurriedly shook his hand in front of her eyes, and said urgently: "Sister An? Sister Ann? Are you okay? ”

Huang Yi'an suddenly came back to his senses, took a deep breath, cleaned up his face, and said with a smile: "I'm fine...... It's just that I didn't expect to lose my honor in front of the king......"

Zhang Xi mistakenly thought that she was scared, and hurriedly comforted: "It's nothing." Your Majesty only praises you, and does not blame you! ”

But what I'm afraid of is his praise!

Huang Yi'an was worried.

Although she didn't suspect that the emperor had taken a fancy to her because of the emperor's words, and even wanted to make herself the queen, it was not a good thing to be named by the emperor.

In this life, she doesn't want to have anything to do with the palace at all.

Huang Yi'an made up his mind and said, "I remember telling Sister Zhang before that what I want in this life is that my family is safe and happy. The walls are too high, I don't like it! ”

Separated by a wall, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and even blood and family ties have to be cut off painfully.

Zhang Xi was stunned, and saw that Huang Yi'an didn't look like a joke, so he solemnly responded: "Don't worry." ”

The two tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again, and turned back to the flower hall to concentrate on the preparation of jasmine dew.

"I happened to bring a bottle of jasmine dew, you can see if it will be useful for you to make flower dew." Zhang Xi said with a smile.

"Then thank you Sister Zhang!" Huang Yi'an smiled heartily.

"What are you polite to me!" Zhang Xi also said with a smile.

I thought in my heart that Sister An was so calm and refreshing, I don't know how much better she was than the delicate cousin at home. When she wanted to give the fragrance to Mingyi, although the other party smiled and thanked him with a gentle smile, his words were full of sourness and grievances that could not be hidden.

"It's all thanks to my cousin that I have the privilege of seeing this Ouchi imperial flower dew. I've heard that this peach blossom dew is not as fragrant as the rose dew, but I can get a bottle, and I'm satisfied. ”

After Ming Yan finished speaking, the only two bottles of rose dew were given to her by the Duchess of England.

And those two bottles of rose dew, she originally planned to keep for herself and Sister An.

Sure enough, it's a crying child who has candy to eat......

Fortunately, it's just two bottles of flower dew, as long as the mother doesn't cry twice, the third brother will also pack it and send it to her!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xi couldn't help but think of his blind date that had been scheduled for June, and couldn't help but complain about the emperor again in his heart.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Empress Dowager Li pointed to the beautiful scrolls piled up on a desk and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty has also been selected for three or four months, has the choice of this queen not been decided?" ”

It is rare to find a time in the Empress Dowager Chen of Ciqing Palace also smiled and helped: "Almost all the unmarried official ladies of the right age in Daqi are here, Yan is thin and fat, and each has its own merits, is there no one who can enter His Majesty's eyes?" ”

"It is a major matter of the country after the establishment, you must be cautious, how dare the child be rash?" Qi Yu, the young son of heaven, played Tai Chi and kicked the ball out, "Zhang Shoufu also said that the child is still young, so there is no need to rush to stand up, but to be diligent in government and self-denial, and contribute to the community." ”

Shoufu Zhang Gui also said this to Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen, to the effect that if the emperor is too young, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the emperor's heir in the future.

Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen are both women, and of course they understand that Zhang Gui's words are reasonable, but they are also empress dowagers and know how important their heirs are to imperial power.

Don't talk about it far away, just talk about the Empress Dowager Li, if she hadn't given birth to the emperor, how could she, who was born as a palace maid, be on an equal footing with the first emperor and the Empress Dowager Chen?

"Even so, the candidate can be decided first!" Empress Dowager Li has always respected and trusted the first assistant Zhang Gui, so she took the opportunity to persuade her, "Select the people first, and as for the post-sealing ceremony, it is not impossible to wait until next year to hold it." ”

Empress Dowager Chen also persuaded with a smile: "The etiquette of the post-sealing ceremony is cumbersome, and it is not an overnight thing. Decide on the candidates early, and Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites can also prepare calmly. ”

In this matter, Empress Dowager Chen, as the first emperor and queen, has the most right to speak.

Seeing that the queen mother of the two palaces was pressing step by step, Qi Yu had to take a step back: "The two queen mothers are reasonable...... But after the establishment is related to the society of the country, the child must be allowed to consider it carefully. ”

Since he ascended the throne, Zhang Shoufu and his mother have taken very strict care of him. During the day, he was either busy learning rules and etiquette and governing the country, or he was busy studying and reviewing and handling government affairs.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and he was determined to be a Ming Jun, diligent and loving the people, working hard, and leading Daqi to the next prosperous era.

But since the queen mother decided to choose him, I don't know why, as if in an instant, there is a voice in my heart that is getting stronger and stronger: this time, he no longer wants to obey the queen mother and Zhang Shoufu in everything as before, he wants to be the master himself!

But in the end, how to be the master, what kind of woman to choose to be the queen, and accompany him for a lifetime, but if there are layers of fog in his mind, he can't see it clearly.

Of course, this could not be said to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, so he could only delay perfunctorily - for example, agreeing to attend the Spring Festival Party of the British Mansion, but he was only discussing the army with Zhang Chi in Diecuixuan, and he didn't even glance at those people who were waiting to be elected.

He hopes to wait until he has cleared his mind before making this life-threatening decision.

Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen glanced at each other, and both showed helpless looks.

Although the emperor is filial piety and respects them, he is the emperor after all, the ruler of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the dignity of the queen mother cannot overstep his authority, regardless of the emperor's wishes, he is forced to establish a queen.

"If this is the case, then Your Majesty can consider himself. The mourning family was unable to support it, so they went back to Ciqing Palace first. Empress Dowager Chen sighed with a smile.

She had no children in her life, but fortunately the emperor accepted Huan's knees, and treated her with great respect, so she couldn't help but indulge him a little.

"The child sends off the queen mother." Qi Yu was grateful to the Empress Dowager Chen for helping him play a round, so he stepped forward respectfully and personally helped the Empress Dowager Chen.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Li had no choice but to give up.

Although now the two palaces of Ciqing and Cining are fighting in the harem, but after all, the Empress Dowager Chen is the first emperor and the queen of the Yuan, and her status is transcendent, and she has been kind to their mother and son.

"No need." Empress Dowager Chen patted Qi Yu's hand and smiled lovingly, "Your Majesty has this filial piety, and the mourning family will be content." I heard that Zhang Shoufu arranged a policy for His Majesty today, and the mourning family will not disturb His Majesty. ”

Hearing this, the accompanying palace people immediately stepped forward and bowed down from the other side to support the Empress Dowager Chen.

Seeing this, Qi Yu withdrew his hand and personally sent Empress Dowager Chen out of the palace.

……

When the jasmine dew was ready, Huang Yi'an tried it and thought it was not bad, so he instructed Ah Mei to hand over the greeting note to the British Mansion.

With her temperament, of course, she doesn't want to be involved too much with the British government.

But Zhang Xi has come to the house too many times, so much so that if she doesn't return to visit, I am afraid that the people in the British government will mistakenly think that she is arrogant and arrogant.

She doesn't care, but she is afraid that Zhang Xi will be accused of "carelessness in making friends" because of this.

Zhang Xi was naturally overjoyed when he received Huang Yi'an's post, and even replied to invite Huang Yi'an to come to the house for a small gathering on the second day.

Huang Yi'an saw the invitation and prepared carefully.
