The spring breeze warms up, and even the Forbidden Palace becomes lively. Flowers are blooming, willows are smoking, and there is beautiful scenery everywhere.

Since there were five princes, the emperor had less time in the queen's palace. And because the emperor and the prince accidentally talked about the old affairs of the Han Dynasty a few days ago, the father and son had different opinions, and the emperor did not debate the prince, so he was angry and said that he was left-minded.

When this news reached the queen's ears, she was not shocked.

Xiao Qingqing's health has improved a lot these days, and when she came to ask the queen for peace, the queen talked about this.

Let her usually remind the prince: "Don't be careless, don't go against the emperor when you speak, lest he get angry and dislike." ”

"Don't worry too much, it's not uncommon for the monarch and the father and son to have different opinions, and the prince was just talking about things at that time, although His Majesty was angry for a while, but he would definitely let it go later. In the court, the ministers quarrel even more, this is a common thing. Xiao Qingqing didn't think this matter was serious.

When the queen saw her like this, she couldn't help but get angry, and said, "Then when you score points, you won't look at what form it is now." I have been restless every day to plan for you, and when I heard about it, I couldn't sleep for days on end. Why is it that it doesn't matter if it gets to you? ”

Xiao Qingqing hurriedly reassured: "Of course my daughter-in-law understands my mother's hard work, but I am also afraid that you will think too much." ”

"I'm also worried about it in vain," the queen said lightly: "You are a famous family, and your knowledge is naturally higher than mine." Although the prince is my son, he is your husband. But you know what to expect, and I don't have much to say. ”

Xiao Qingqing listened to the queen's words, and quickly stood up, her face flushed.

The queen's words were already very heavy, she couldn't afford it, and just about to explain with good words, Concubine Chen Shu came, so she had to stop and not say anything.

greeted Concubine Chen Shu, Concubine Shu smiled and said, "The weather is warm, and the princess's complexion has improved." Have you seen the imperial doctor again? You are young, and you will recover quickly with careful care. ”

Xiao Qingqing replied with a smile: "Thank you Concubine Niangniang for worrying, I have long been fine." The medicine that was just stopped yesterday, Dr. Zhang said that there was no need to take it again. ”

"That's good, that's good, Imperial Doctor Zhang is the most stable, he said that if it's good, it will be good." Concubine Chen Shufei is a kind person, and she has the best popularity in the palace.

The queen ordered the palace maid to serve tea to Concubine Chen Shu early, turned her head to Xiao Qingqing, but she was also pleasant, and said: "You have been here for a long time, and it is inevitable to be restrained in front of the elders. Go back to your own palace, I heard that your mother will come to the palace to see you in a few days, remember to invite her to come to my side to talk, I may not have seen her for a long time, strange thoughts. ”

Xiao Qingqing hurriedly agreed, saluted and retreated.

Here the queen and Chen Shufei talked while drinking tea, and soon it was time for lunch, Chen Shufei said goodbye, and it happened that the second prince came, so the queen left him for lunch.

After taking a nap, I dealt with a few things in the harem. Yu Shan came.

The queen hadn't seen her for a few days, and said, "What are you busy with these days?" Why haven't I seen you coming? In the morning, Concubine Shu came over and talked here for a long time. ”

"I had a cold a few days ago, so I didn't dare to go anywhere, for fear of making others sick." Yu Shan replied, "Niangniang, how are you doing these days?" I see you look good. ”

"What's the matter, a bunch of worries." The queen sighed and said, "Have you heard about the dispute between the crown prince and the emperor a few days ago?" ”

"I've heard of it a little, but it's been a long time, and the emperor's anger must have disappeared." Yu Shan said.

"There's even more infuriating!" The queen sneered: "I don't know who started it, they all say that the five princes are the most like the emperor." The emperor already favored him, but now there is no one else in his eyes. ”

When Yu Shan heard this, her face darkened slightly, and she stopped talking.

"Say whatever you want," said the queen, "and the princess is still like no one else, making me feel like I'm making a big fuss." ”

When the queen mentioned this, she felt unhappy.

"The queen mother just said that everyone said that the five princes are like the emperor, so does the emperor think so?" Yu Shan asked cautiously.

"Then it is necessary to say," the queen said: "Now that the emperor has gone straight to Cuiming Palace, I occasionally go over to see which time I didn't see the emperor holding him in his arms." ”

"This sign is not very good," Yu Shan frowned slightly: "It may also be that I am too suspicious." ”

"Tell me what to say, if you are suspicious or suspicious, always be careful." Queen's Road.

"I remember when I was reading Hanshu, the master once said that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had already made Emperor Hui the crown prince, but later his favorite concubine, Mrs. Qi, gave birth to King Ruyi of Zhao. Gaozu loved Wu and Wu, and said that King Zhao was like him, and Emperor Hui was not like him, so he wanted to abolish Emperor Hui and set up King Zhao as the crown prince. Yu Shan said: "So I was inevitably a little frightened when I stopped what I said just now, and I was too timid." ”

"So my worries should be right," the queen suddenly felt that she had met a confidant: "How much the emperor favors the five princes now, everyone sees it, and I don't need to say more." It's just that he was just born, and he was crowned king before he even had a name, and he gave amnesty to their mother and son. I'm a clay figure, and I can't help it. Catching up with this step by step, where will the prince be placed in the future?! ”

"What Niangniang is worried about is that since ancient times, there must be near-term worries, not to mention that now the queen mother is no longer there, and the waste and strength are just a word from the emperor." Yu Shan said: "It is said that the mother is more expensive than the son, but the son is indispensable because of the mother." ”

This sentence happened to hit the queen's sore spot, she is a typical example of a mother relying on her son. At the beginning, she had a low status, if she hadn't given birth to the crown prince, how could the queen mother sit on the back seat?

Yu Shan saw that the queen was silent, and said loudly: "Actually, the queen doesn't have to worry too much, we still have cards to play in our hands, the key is which one to play first." ”

When the queen heard her say this, she hurriedly asked, "Is there any way for you to say it quickly, I don't know what to do now." ”

"I heard that Tanzhou in the south of the capital has been plagued by bandits recently, and the imperial court is preparing to send people to suppress it. On the way I came, I saw the second prince from afar, and the second royal highness has always liked bows, horses, pistols and sticks the most, so it is better to let him go to His Majesty to ask for help, which can share his worries for His Majesty, and can also show the filial piety of His Royal Highness, and also show that the queen has a good education. Moreover, when His Royal Highness came back with military merits, the weight of the harem in the court naturally became heavier, and he could also assist the prince, after all, he was a brother in battle. There is nothing to worry about in safety, how could the entourage of the generals let the second prince hurt a single bit? ”
