"You asked me to intercede on behalf of the prince's brother?"

Shangguan Jiayue looked at the queen in disbelief, "Queen Mother, how can I interfere in the court affairs of the prince's elder brother?" ”

Seeing that she was unwilling, the queen said anxiously: "Although this matter is a political matter of the previous dynasty, but you are the prince's sister, your father will not blame him, even if he is to blame, he will not really punish you, your father and emperor feel so sorry for you, he will not be popular." ”

Although Shangguan Jiayue is also worried about the prince, there have been a lot of rumors about the prince in the palace in the past few days, and she has heard a lot, but even so, she still knows the importance of the prince, whether she is a princess should be in charge.

"Mother, my father said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, if I really open my mouth, even if my father feels sorry for me, I will be unhappy, you don't want the prince's brother to fall out of favor with his father, aren't you afraid that my father will fall out of favor with me? In order to save the prince's brother, can you think about it for me? ”

Hearing the queen's words just now, Shangguan Jiayue's mood when she came just now was already half cold, she was worried about the queen every day these days, but she didn't expect that she was only worried about the prince.

Seeing Shangguan Jiayue's cold face, the queen realized that she had lost her words, hurting Shangguan Jiayue's heart, and hurriedly explained: "The queen mother is not like this, but recently I heard that the prince's life in the East Palace is not good, and his health is much worse than before, and several of his people have been restless, if this continues, I'm afraid he's the crown prince's position will change hands." ”

"Yue'er, you have always been the most intimate with the queen mother, how can the queen mother care about you?"

Shangguan Jiayue was already sad, no matter what the queen said, she felt that it was just to coax herself, she didn't speak, broke free of the queen's hand, and sat aside.

The queen is anxious, the current situation in the court, everyone covets the position of the prince, and the prince has recently lost the support of those side concubines' mothers, this matter is imminent, and now the only person who can help the prince speak, I'm afraid only Shangguan Jiayue.

"Yue'er, the queen mother has never asked you for anything before, and now even if the queen mother begs you, at this time, it is about the future of your prince brother, do you want to watch his crown prince change hands? If the position of the crown prince is really earned by others, will the prince still have a way to live? That's your brother-in-law. ”

The queen was already in tears at this time.

Although Shangguan Jiayue was cold, she was also a soft-hearted person after all, so she naturally couldn't bear to see her like this, and she didn't want the prince to be really so depressed in the future.

After all, they are the same mother, if the real prince's brother loses the position of the prince, he can rely on the emperor's favor and not be affected, but the queen has also made a mistake now, and when the time comes, both will be prosperous and will be lost, I am afraid that neither of them will have a good end.

Wanting to return here, Shangguan Jiayue was no longer attached to the queen's words just now, and her attitude softened.

"Don't say it after the queen mother, I don't want to see the prince's brother fall into such a fate, you say, how do you want me to intercede with my father?"

The queen was overjoyed, "This palace knows that Yue'er will not ignore the crown prince and the queen mother." ”

As she spoke, she leaned into Shangguan Jiayue's ear and said a few words.

Shangguan Jiayue nodded lightly and said, "I'll go to my father, but as for whether my father will listen to me, I can't guarantee it." ”

After speaking, she did not wait for the queen to speak, and left the queen's bedchamber.

She was delayed on the road for a long time, not knowing how to tell the emperor about it.

When he entered the imperial study, the emperor was still correcting the chapters.

"Father, my daughter has come back after seeing her mother."

"What did you talk about with your mother?" The Emperor asked casually.

Shangguan Jiayue always lowered her head, her expression hesitated, and said, "I didn't say anything special, I just talked about family life, and I also talked about the prince's brother." ”

The emperor's hand for commenting on the chapter paused, looked up at Shangguan Jiayue, and said, "The queen is still worried about the crown prince now?" ”

"Yes, the queen mother said that the prince's brother has been in worse health recently, and he is very worried." Shangguan Jiayue raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor's expression, and continued: "Where has the prince's brother suffered such a crime, he should be very remorseful now." ”

The emperor's eyes changed, he sighed, put down the pen in his hand, walked to Shangguan Jiayue's side, and said softly: "Yue'er is not young now, most of the ministers and daughters of the same age as you in the court are married." ”

"Huh?" Shangguan Jiayue raised her head and looked at the emperor for some reason, she didn't know why the emperor suddenly changed the subject.

The emperor's eyes were full of love, and he gently touched her head and said, "Yue'er has a favorite person?" ”

Shangguan Jiayue lowered her head shyly, "What did my father say, Yue'er doesn't want to get married now, and Yue'er still wants to stay with her father for a few more years." ”

"Although my father is reluctant to let you get married, but my daughter's family is going to marry when she reaches a certain age, if Yue'er has a sweetheart, she must tell her father, no matter which family it is, or ordinary people, as long as you like it, as long as he can make you happy every day without being wronged, your father will not stop you."

The emperor's words were full of sadness and bitterness, and his only hope for Shangguan Jiayue was that he could be happy forever, not have to suffer any grievances, and stay away from strife.

"I know my father, but Yue'er is not in a hurry now, my father should not be in a hurry to catch Yue'er away." Shangguan Jiayue snuggled on the emperor's shoulder, and she suddenly felt that her father was really much older.

was interrupted by the emperor like this, Shangguan Jiayue didn't know where to start with the prince's affairs.

After a moment's silence, she returned to the topic of the prince, "Father, the prince's brother......"

"The prince's body has already been seen by the imperial doctor, Yue'er doesn't have to worry," the emperor got up, walked back to the table, and said while collecting the music, "There are many things today, and I am tired, so Yue'er should go back early." ”

Shangguan Jiayue knew that she was urging herself to go, but she promised the queen, no matter whether her father agreed or not, she had to ask for this.

"Father."

Shangguan Jiayue wanted to say again, the emperor over there had already summoned the eunuchs around him, and before she could speak again, she had already entered the inner room.

Seeing this, Shangguan Jiayue had no choice but to leave the imperial study in a huff.

She knew that the emperor had probably guessed that he was going to intercede for the prince's brother, so he would interrupt her many times, which meant that even if he said what he requested, he would not agree. In order not to disappoint her, he simply didn't let her say it.

Shangguan Jiayue thoughtfully returned to her princess's mansion, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a familiar figure sitting in the house.

This person is Xue Ning.

Shangguan Jiayue was puzzled, the two of them hadn't spoken since they had done before, how could she take the initiative to come to her princess's mansion today?
