Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Yan Rongling kindly and said with a smile: "Xiaoliu has lost weight again, this trip is hard, right?" ”

Yan Rongling raised his head and arched his hand, looked straight at the Empress Dowager Zhong, and said with a wry smile: "The Empress Dowager has good intentions, and she directly broke my expectations. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong slowly suppressed her smile, her eyes revealed the domineering spirit of looking at the world, and she said with a full of anger: "The mourning family just wants to try their best to meet Mingzhu's wishes." ”

"Mingzhu is still young, what if she regrets it later? It's not safe to marry the royal family, so if you marry someone else, are you relieved? ”

Yan Rongling roared lowly, his eyes full of despair.

As long as Mingzhu becomes a princess, then nominally speaking, she is her sister, and there is no possibility for herself and Mingzhu. Otherwise, not only will the imperial history die, but even the spittle of the people of the world can drown people.

Empress Dowager Zhong was still domineering, and she didn't care, but said: "As long as the mourning family is still there, the mourning family will meet any requirements of Mingzhu." ”

Yan Rongling's kneeling posture on the ground, not moving at all, his back straight.

"Queen Mother, I am sincere to Mingzhu. I am willing to marry her as the queen, she is the only one in the harem, and I will not live up to her for the rest of my life, and I ask the queen mother to be fulfilled. ”

When Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Yan Rongling, she no longer had the usual steadiness at all, let alone the knowledge, knowledge, and observation of words and emotions on weekdays. The whole person is like a grumpy bison, screaming angrily and trying to find a place to vent.

"Rong Ling, why do you think you can fulfill your promise?"

Empress Dowager Zhong asked lightly, looking at Yan Rongling's eyes, there was a trace of pity.

Yan Rongling said calmly and firmly: "In the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are no examples of harem favorites. If my ancestors can do it, so can I. ”

"Really? So how can you do it? You are only a prince now, not even a prince, why are you in charge? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong laughed a little mockingly, which made Yan Rongling feel excited.

blurted out: "My father likes Mingzhu so much, he will definitely make decisions for us!" ”

"Really? Then do you think the emperor doesn't know that you like Mingzhu? Since the emperor knows that you like pearls, why does he still give orders in public? ”

Yan Rongling didn't want to think about it, and roared in a low voice: "My father respects the Queen Mother the most, so he will issue an edict before I return to Beijing, if I come back, my father will definitely give me a marriage!" ”

"Yan Rongling, you also look up to the mourning family and yourself too much, you should ask the emperor about this."

Empress Dowager Zhong felt a little contempt in her heart, these men all spoke better than they sang.

Yan Rongling raised her head sadly and begged in a low voice: "Queen Mother, Rong Ling has been taken care of by the Queen Mother since he was a child, so that he can grow up safely until now." The Queen Mother's great kindness to Rong Ling, Rong Ling will never forget it. Rong Ling really likes Mingzhu and asks the Queen Mother to fulfill it. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Yan Rongling calmly, with regret, remembrance, and feelings in her eyes.

said softly: "Rong Ling, the mourning family believes that what you said at this moment is true." However, life is too long, there are too many accidents, and what you think and what you want to do cannot be the same. ”

"Queen Mother, I will do it, you believe me!"

Yan Rongling kowtowed heavily, keeping his forehead touching the ground still, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Empress Dowager Zhong sighed secretly, and when she was about to speak again, Dong Chunyu reported: "Queen Mother, the prince is here, saying that the emperor has an edict to the six princes. ”

"Let him in."

The princess walked in quickly and saluted: "The slave has seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Say, what is the emperor's message?"

Only then did the prince look at Yan Rongling, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "The slave has seen the six princes. The emperor heard that the six princes returned to the palace, and he waited for a long time to see the traces of the six princes. ”

Yan Rongling slowly got up and said in a low voice: "Rong Ling thanks his father for his concern, and after asking the queen mother for peace, he went to ask his father for peace." ”

The prince smiled and said, "I wonder if the six princes have finished asking for peace?" The emperor has been waiting for a long time, and asked the six princes to go to the imperial study with their minions. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong watched coldly, Yan Rongling slowly stood up, saluted, and said, "Rong Ling will retire first." ”

By the time Yan Rongling came to the imperial study, his mood had basically calmed down.

"Erchen has seen his father!"

Emperor Hong Zheng was reviewing the folds, as if he hadn't seen it at all, Yan Rongling was a great gift. Without raising his head, he said, "I'm back, how is this journey?" What is the situation in Shanhaiguan? ”

Yan Rongling reined in his thoughts, reported the situation all the way one by one, and said at the end: "The daughter of the king of Bei'an County has been married to Gu Shinian, the second son of the Guanwen Marquis Mansion, and the two are happy with each other. ”

"Two lovers? It's good for the two to be happy! Lovers eventually become married. Rong Ling, what do you want to say? ”

Yan Rongling's heart trembled, and a pain from a long needle piercing his heart made him sober. Father meant to shut him up. But the unwillingness in his heart, as well as the despair of long-term expectations disappointed, made him still speak.

"Father, my son has something to say."

Emperor Hong Zheng raised his head at this time, and the dragon's eyes were like a bolt of lightning, stabbing straight at Yan Rongling.

"I hear you."

Yan Rongling had already keenly felt his father's displeasure, but he couldn't help but say it. If you don't ask for it now, there really is no chance of recovery.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Father, the son is happy with the pearl, and I ask my father to fulfill it!" ”

"Pearl? Don't you know that true love in the royal family means weakness. You are only a prince now, and you have weaknesses to hide, but when you become a prince in the future, or stand in my position, can you have weaknesses? ”

Emperor Hong Zheng couldn't see his joy or anger, but the words were full of warning.

Yan Rongling was still unwilling to give up, so he could only kowtow again and said, "Father, when Rong Ling is as strong as his father, he doesn't have any weaknesses." ”

"Rong Ling, this can't be."

"Father, why is it impossible?"

Yan Rongling was still unwilling to give up, and looked up at Emperor Hong Zheng. The eyes were full of pleading, and the sadness in those eyes made Emperor Hong Zhengdi's heart skip a beat.

"Well, I asked you three questions, and you thought about it and answered me, asking you to really think in your heart."

Yan Rongling kowtowed his head again and replied: "Father and the emperor can rest assured, the son will definitely tell the truth, if there is half a lie, let the father deal with it." ”

Emperor Hong Zheng put down the pen and asked: "Goryeo wants to send the princess and relatives, otherwise there will be a war, do you accept it or not?" ”

Yan Rongling was slightly stunned, and said impassionedly at will: "I have many elite soldiers and good generals in the Great Zhou, even if we use princesses and relatives, it is a shame, let alone a monarch." ”

Emperor Hong Zheng was noncommittal, and asked: "Mingzhu has been in the palace for five years and has not been pregnant, what about the death of a hundred officials?" ”

Cold sweat trickled down Yan Rongling's forehead, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "Mingzhu is still young, I will recruit famous doctors all over the world, and I will definitely be able to have my own blood and bones." ”
