"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, why is the emperor sullen?" When the noble concubine entered the house, she ran to the emperor, and no matter what her identity was, she squatted directly on the ground and rested her head on the emperor's knees.

"It's just that I have some doubts in my heart, but with my concubine by my side, my mood can be said to have improved greatly!" The emperor stretched out his hand and gently smoothed the noble concubine's black hair, as if he was stroking a docile cat.

Xu has been an emperor for a long time, he prefers docile people, and when he wants to conquer, he wants to submit to him in everything.

"Then what doubts does the emperor have in his heart? You might as well talk to your concubines. The noble concubine raised her head and looked at the emperor with her dark eyes.

"You, you, among all my concubines, you are still the most knowledgeable." The emperor smiled, and then tapped the tip of the noble concubine's nose, and her eyes were so gentle that they could pour water.

When the noble concubine saw that the emperor was going to talk to her, she quietly broke free from the emperor's arms, retreated to the soft couch on the side, supported her head with one hand, and looked at the emperor very curiously, with expectant eyes.

"Before I say that, concubine, you have to remember that everything I said is just conjecture." The emperor was still a little worried before he spoke, but he couldn't care so much, and now he urgently needed to find someone to talk to.

"The concubine remembers, don't sell the emperor, and let the concubine help the emperor analyze and analyze it!" Concubine Gao played with her hair with her hands, seemingly leisurely, but in fact she couldn't wait to hear it.

"Concubine, do you know what happened to me meeting the wolf king in the birch forest?" The emperor opened his mouth, and then began to think back to the scene of that day.

"I know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also saved the emperor!" Concubine Gao played with her hair, guessed it in her heart, but didn't say it.

The emperor nodded and continued: "I think it's strange why no one appeared before, but at the end, at the critical moment, the prince appeared? ”

The noble concubine looked stunned, covered her mouth in disbelief, then nodded, and followed the emperor's words: "Hearing the emperor say this, the concubine is also puzzled, there are so many people in the paddock, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter the birch forest?" Why did His Royal Highness meet the emperor and the wolf king? And why did you strike at the last minute? ”

When the noble concubine said this, she suddenly looked at the emperor in horror, got up from the soft couch, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive the concubine for her outspoken sin, what the concubine said is just conjecture." ”

"Come on, there are only two people here, Concubine Ai and I, and naturally they are all heart-wrenching words." The emperor lowered his eyelids, and the doubts in his heart deepened, and he decided to secretly send someone to investigate the matter.

The noble concubine saw the emperor's expression clearly, secretly happy in her heart, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the queen mother came, but the emperor did not answer, why is this?" ”

When the emperor mentioned the queen, he first sighed, and then continued for a long time: "The queen...... She must have come to me for the fact that the prince had not been rewarded today, and I was upset and did not want to see her. ”

The next day, on the carriage back to the imperial city, the emperor called the prince into his sedan chair.

"Prince, I thought about it all night last night, and I don't know what reward to give you!" The emperor kept turning his handstrings, but his eyes were staring at the prince motionlessly, with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Father, the son has a reluctant request." The crown prince was a little uncomfortable under that gaze, but it was not because of his weak heart, but because he was a little frightened in the face of an emperor's scrutiny.

"Oh, tell me about it?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the suspicion in his heart was even worse.

How could there be such a coincidence that the prince even thought of a reward?

"Father, my son wants to go on a study tour." The prince looked up with a sincere expression.

"Study tour?" The emperor frowned, puzzled why the prince made such a request.

"Yes, there was Master Xuanzang in ancient times, the leader of the Fa. Young Huai Zhenmin, early realization of the heart of the three emptiness, long contract expression, first bud four forbearance...... Although Erchen can't follow one by one, he also imagines that Xuanzang will learn and gain more experience in the study tour, so that he can be worthy of a great task in the future. The prince said, rubbed his hands together, and bowed slightly to show his sincerity.

However, what is insincere? The emperor didn't care at all, he was just worried about the matter of the wolf king, and at the moment he only felt that the prince was by his side, like a dynamite, and he was panicked and suspicious all day long.

"Since you are so sincere, prince, then go! I'm right. After the emperor finished speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The crown prince was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your father's success." ”

The emperor nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

In the middle palace, the queen mother fidgeted when she learned that the prince was about to go on a study tour.

"Starling, this kid is confused! Now is the critical time, King Qi and the noble concubine and the party are on the momentum, he doesn't fight or grab at this time, forget it, why do you still say that you want to go on a study tour? It's so confused, no, Bengong has to persuade him, she can't figure it out, Bengong is not a foolish person! ”

"Queen Mother, the sons are also about to come to you!" As soon as the queen's words fell, the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sounded outside the hall, and what the queen said just now had all in his ears, but he never took it to heart.

"Starling, you came just in time, and the queen mother asked you, why did you go on a study tour?" The queen got up from the soft couch, saw the prince enter the house, walked up to the prince, grabbed the prince and asked.

"Study tours have always been the desire of the sons, but I have never had the opportunity to mention it to my father before, and now that there is a suitable time, the sons are overjoyed, and the queen mother is still happy for the sons!" The crown prince first lowered his head slightly, ready to be accused by the queen.

"Stupid! Prince, don't you know that King Qi and Concubine Gao are gaining momentum now? Are you willing to let them have the upper hand? The queen was silent, her face was so black that she couldn't hold it anymore.

The prince didn't answer, and the queen mother said angrily: "Since you are so indisputable and don't fight, why do you still have to do it in the position of the East Palace?" If you don't want to be big, you can give it to others! ”

The crown prince was also a little angry, in the past days, the queen did not say these words to stimulate him, when he was young, he would do something he was reluctant to do in order to meet the queen's requirements, but now he has his own ideas in his heart, and he is not willing to be an obedient puppet anymore.

"The queen mother, the sons have grown up, and many things can be decided by themselves, since the queen mother can't support the sons, the sons will retire!"

The prince clenched his fists, bowed to the queen, and then walked out of the middle palace without looking back.
