For the princess sent by the neighboring country, the courtiers argued endlessly, and the eldest prince and the second prince both wanted to fight for it. They knew that there was little hope, but they could not sit idly by and watch the prince's power grow again.

However, when everyone thought that the prince was also trying his best, he privately persuaded the emperor to accept the princess!

Liu Xiu was stunned as he watched the prince talking to the emperor in the imperial study, and the emperor himself was also shocked.

The emperor's health has not been good in recent years, which is something that everyone in the world knows, so the emperor has not filled the harem in recent years. He also met the princess this time, and his mind was full of thoughts about which prince to marry, and he never thought of being a groom.

"Ahem!" The emperor coughed lightly uncomfortably, feeling that although this suggestion was a bit ridiculous, after all, he was the only one who was still thinking about himself, so he said gently: "This matter is not appropriate..."

Who knew that before he could finish refusing, the prince preemptively said: "How is it inappropriate? Erchen thinks it's the most appropriate! ”

The emperor was interested, thinking that I would see how much nonsense you could talk about today. So he asked, "How is it all right?" I'm old, the princess looks good, she's eighteen years old, and I'm a little reluctant to match your brothers, let alone me. It's just you, the same age. ”

"Erchen doesn't think so!"

"Oh, let's hear it."

"My father's body has not been abnormal in the past few years, and he is still alive and well, why can't he marry this princess?"

"Huh! You! Our father and son talk behind closed doors, we don't have to be so high-sounding, I know my body. ”

"But my father, even if my father's body is not as good as before, it is only compared to when he was young. On weekdays, my father was too busy to fill the harem, but now even his sons can share their worries for their father, and in the future, my father can worry less. ”

"Ah, yes, you're already able to worry about me!" The emperor had a relieved expression, but Liu Xiu had a cold sweat on his back, and he glanced at the prince quietly, thinking that the prince was not very smart on weekdays...

The emperor taboos the prince, especially the prince, to divide power, which Liu Xiu has only seen in recent years.

To put it bluntly, the emperor is contradictory!

On the one hand, I don't want to be old, but on the other hand, I know that my body is not as good as before!

The prince took it for granted and said, "There are several reasons why Erchen said this. ”

"Oh, let's hear it." The emperor tilted his body and leaned on the armrest, looking deaf.

"Yes!" The prince looked very happy and said: "Father, the world says that my father's health has not been as good as before in recent years, and the sons know that this is all nonsense. But the gossip could not be eliminated, and the son thought that it would be better to take advantage of this opportunity, his father accepted the princess, and a year and a half later, the princess was pregnant, and the rumors naturally broke down! This is one of them. ”

The emperor's heart immediately moved, his body was fine, and he was fortunate to have the power to spoil the concubine.

"Well, you go on."

"Second, the princess's status is noble, and for her sons or other royal brothers, it is bound to leave her a place in the main room. The main room of the two royal brothers has been abiding by their duties for many years, and they have spread out for the royal family, and there is no reason to divorce their wives or demote them, although the sons and daughters have not been married for a long time, but the princess is also a young husband and wife with the sons, and the sons are not willing to let her become a side concubine if she is wronged! The most important thing is that Erchen will inherit the unification in the future, how can there be a princess from a neighboring country as a queen! ”

The prince analyzed seriously, and the emperor nodded silently, this analysis made sense.

"However, the father is different, the father is the most noble identity, marrying the princess is the princess Gao Pan, and she will never and has no reason to become the queen, becoming a concubine is already the emperor's grace! Therefore, the father is the most suitable person to marry the princess! ”

The emperor was completely convinced!

He had never thought about it from these perspectives, he could do it himself!

However, he can't make a decision right away, after all, there are still many issues to consider.

"What you mean, the emperor understands, your concerns are very reasonable, I don't know what the courtiers will think if I think about it again!"

The crown prince immediately understood that the emperor had been convinced, but he couldn't pull his face a little, after all, the previous discussion was about which prince the princess would marry!

This kind of thing can be done by the prince, so he said: "Erchen thinks that this is all because of that rumor, and the adults don't seem to have thought about this possibility!" However, the Ministry of Rites had discussed it before, and the son made up his mind to convince his father. Therefore, Erchen felt that it was better for the Ministry of Rites to come forward in this matter. ”

"Oh? What does the Ministry of Rites think? The emperor's mood almost flew up.

"Yes, Erchen will go and tell the people of the Ministry of Rites that the principles that our Ministry of Rites should adhere to should be adhered to!"

The prince's words are beautiful, and even with the emperor's heart, he can't help but feel a lot more happy.

"Alright! It's up to you! ”

The prince thanked him, bowed and retired.

He left the imperial study and returned to the East Palace, where Xia Yibai had been waiting for a long time.

"See Your Highness!" Xia Yibai saluted.

"Get up, sir, don't be polite." The prince looked at Xia Yibai with a complicated expression.

Even Russell didn't think of using this method in this matter, Russell thought of keeping the position of the crown princess in the main room and giving the princess a side concubine, but he also wanted the prince to welcome him in person to show his dignity.

The prince originally planned to adopt this opinion, but at this time, Xia Yibai came to the other courtyard and persuaded Russell to let him meet the prince.

"When the grass people traveled around the world, by chance, they heard the secret of this princess, but in fact, her mother clan had long been wiped out, and the reason why his father doted on her was because he felt guilty. In the first few years, for her sake, the country may have made some friendly concessions. But her other brothers were not so fond of her, and were even very dissatisfied with her favor, believing that a woman who did not even have a mother should not be favored beyond her contributions. So if her father dies one day, then the successor, no matter which prince it is, will no longer show her mercy, and it will be a burden for His Highness to have such a side concubine by his side! ”

The prince was a little undecided for a while, even if there would be trouble later, but it would be better to help himself in the early stage than to give it to other princes.

And Xia Yibai gave him an idea, and the words he persuaded the emperor were Xia Yibai's words to persuade him!

Find another way, and sure enough, the Sacred Heart is happy!

Xia Yibai is really a genius!

The prince's heart began to sway again, or else, really leave him? Xia Yibai and Liu Ye have given themselves so much help...

Do you really have to break up the two of them?

Facing the calm Xia Yibai, the prince was not so calm.

Knowing that the emperor had already moved, he only needed to promote the development of the entire plan from the Ministry of Rites, Xia Yibai retired, still not mentioning half a word about Liu Ye.

The prince felt more and more guilty.

However, he regarded this matter as a game, thinking that as long as he agreed with Xia Yibai's statement, he and Liu Ye would lose.

The prince had never lost, and he didn't want to start it.

He couldn't help but call Liu Ye to the other courtyard again.

When the willow leaves arrived, the prince poured himself a drink and was drinking stuffy wine.

Hearing the voice of the willow leaves, the prince raised his head.

His eyes lit up, and Willow Leaf was finally no longer the ghost that appeared in nightmares frequently.

Although the willow leaves are still slender today, they are very energetic, and their faces are ruddy.

"You're here." The prince beckoned and asked Liu Ye to sit aside.

Liu Ye smiled and sat down meekly.

The prince caught a glimpse of something that Liu Ye seemed to be holding in his hand, smiled and reached over and grabbed it: "Show me what good things are hidden?" ”

Suddenly, his face changed, and he jumped up and threw things out of the way.

A porcelain vase rolled out, and it was the same porcelain vase when Liu Ye took poison.

"You! You—" The prince was speechless in anger, and at the same time felt a deep fear of this bottle!

He remembered again that Liu Ye fell into his arms, vomiting blood from the corners of his mouth, his face was pale, and the basins of blood poured out!

"Your Highness has misunderstood, this is just an ordinary hangover cure!" Liu Ye was also stunned, and then explained.

The prince gasped and looked at Liu Ye in disbelief: "Is that all there is to you?" ”

"This is what we commonly use, and they are all fired in batches."

"Then aren't you afraid that you will take it wrong?" The crown prince raised his voice.

Liu Ye smiled and said, "The bottle cap is different. ”

The prince clutched his chest, sullen, but worried.

"Sit down first." He said he had fallen on the stool first.

Liu Ye suddenly wanted to laugh, although she knew that the prince might be mad, but she couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.

When the prince heard the laughter, he suddenly became angry, but when he looked up, he saw Liu Ye's smile, just like a long time ago, when there was no break, so pure and unscrupulous!

I miss it so much!

The prince actually wet the corners of his eyes.

It turns out that I really miss her smile so much!

The prince laughed too.

He stretched out his hand to cover Liu Ye's hand, Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly tensed, this subconscious reaction made the prince very hurt, and at the same time he was also very self-blaming.

What did you scare her out of!

"Don't be afraid of me, Ye'er." He said softly.

Willow Leaf gradually relaxed, and he could no longer be stimulated at this time.

"I'm not afraid, I know, you always think of me well."

The prince was very moved: "You know? ”

Liu Ye nodded: "I always know." ”

"But," the prince did not understand, "then why did you do that!" Do you know how much that hurts my heart! You know, why are you? ”

"I didn't follow your heart, so you're sad?" Liu Ye asked rhetorically.

"Of course! I'm really sad and sad! ”

Liu Ye smiled: "Then have you ever thought that if you didn't follow my heart, would I be sad?" ”

The prince was stunned, and wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a while.

Liu Ye didn't follow him, so he was sad and disappointed, but he knew that Liu Ye liked Xia Yibai, but he still forced them to break up, so... Willow leaves will also be sad and sad.

Yes, I always knew that, but...

"I'm doing it for your own good!" The prince said very aggrievedly.

"It's for my own good?" Liu Ye shook his head: "Then I rejected you for your own good, why don't you understand?" ”

"Reject me, but for my good?" The prince spread his hands incomprehensibly: "What do you mean?" ”

"Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you!" Liu Ye said: "That's what it means." ”
