Chu Jianyu caught a glimpse of the holy decree in his sister's hand, and sneered: "When I asked for the decree to make that girl the county lord, I also asked for a blank decree for marriage. ”

"I remember it." Chu Jianyu put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "But I also said that it is impossible for the fourth child and that Li Jiangwei to succeed!" ”

"It's not the same time it used to be."

Chu Jianyu choked up and did not refute.

"I know that the emperor is interested in this child, so he will listen to the words of the imperial doctor and go to find a happy girl for him. The emperor knows best what the people who are willing to send the girl out have. But the county lord of Chengwei is different, she is sincere to the fourth child. ”

Princess Heshou knew that her younger brother of the emperor had been shaken.

"Originally, this holy decree should not have been moved, but for the happiness of the fourth child, I had to dare to ask the emperor to fulfill them."

Chu Jianyu opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say it.

"Okay, up to you. The holy decree was handed back to me, and the prince was sent to the county lord's mansion to announce the decree another day. You tell the little girl to go back to live and wait for news. ”

"Your Majesty."

Chu Jianyu took the holy decree and watched his sister leave. Chu Jianyu looked down at the holy decree in his hand, his expression complicated.

"Drive Kunning Palace!"

Empress Song was leisurely practicing calligraphy in Kunning Palace, and suddenly heard that the emperor was coming, smiled lightly, and calmly put the brush aside.

"The concubine thought that the emperor would go to the virtuous concubine."

"What gave you this delusion?"

"Whoever makes the emperor feel bad, he likes to go to Sister Ning and sit there." Empress Song beckoned the palace people to serve tea, and Ying Ying sat down at the table, "The emperor has been worried about King Qin's injury recently." Then you should also go to sit at Sister Feng's, instead of coming to Kunning Palace. ”

"You are the queen of the middle palace, my wife! Could it be that I can't come? ”

Chu Jianyu's undisguised anger made Empress Song restrain her carelessness.

"A concubine is not a gentle and petty woman, and she can't do things that can be comforted. The emperor felt that he could be more settled in this Kunning Palace, and that was the blessing of the concubine. ”

Chu Jianyu threw the holy decree in front of Queen Song and said in a deep voice: "I tried my best to separate these two children, but now I am entangled in circles. ”

"The emperor is talking about the King of Qin and the county lord of Chengwei?"

"The queen thinks she is suitable as a candidate for Chongxi?"

Empress Song's eyes sank, and she said, "Then it depends on what the emperor cares about." ”

"Where to start?"

"The emperor pities King Qin, then this girl is of course the best candidate for Chongxi. Chong Xi Chong Xi, this wife is a favorite person, which is a happy event for King Qin. If you really point out the county lord of Chengwei to the king of Qin, the balance that the emperor has managed to maintain will be broken. ”

Chu Jianyu was silent.

"How many people in the court don't like women as kings, the emperor knows. And the county lord of Chengwei is the person of the imperial concubine, which is also a well-known thing. Pointing out the lord of Chengwei County to the King of Qin inevitably led to some speculation by the courtiers. The county lord of Chengwei has no official status and cannot influence the overall situation. But if you become a princess, you can do more articles. ”

"The queen is worthy of being praised by Li Xiang. When I saw the fifth lady of An Yuanbo's family before, I remembered the original queen. At that time, you were still a young girl, with a hat and a prayer sticker, and you came to my house alone. ”

Chu Jianyu gradually fell into the memories, and said in a rambling voice: "I still remember you at that time, and confidently said to me, as long as I marry you, I will definitely be able to go further." At that time, I was just a marginal prince, and I had no power in the court, and I was really shocked to hear the queen's words. ”

Chu Jianyu suddenly smiled and said, "But the queen really fulfilled this promise." ”

"If the queen of the year can participate in the imperial examination like Li Jiangyun, will there be a female minister in this Gong Congress?"

"Impossible." Empress Song replied lightly: "The concubine will not participate in the imperial examination. ”

"The queen is also like many courtiers in the previous court, it is difficult to accept women as emperors and women as officials?" After Chu Jianyu finished speaking, he laughed at himself: "Over the years, the imperial concubine has performed well. Without the matter of the imperial sister in front of him, maybe everything would be different. ”

"Does the emperor regret it?"

"I have been calculating my relatives for a lifetime, and this time I don't want to calculate the fourth. There are some things that I can only talk to you, whether it is Concubine De or Concubine Xian, or even Feng Jieyu, I can't open my mouth in front of you. ”

"The emperor wants to be this loving father, how can the concubine stop him? Although Chongxi is in a hurry, some cumbersome etiquette can be omitted. But after all, it is a wedding ceremony of a prince who has won a title, and the dignity that should be left cannot be left behind. The concubine first sent a teaching grandmother to the county lord of Chengwei to teach a set of rules, not to ask her to be perfect, but to understand some royal etiquette. As for the rest, let the Ministry of Rites draw up the list and prepare it yourself. ”

"Or the queen is thoughtful."

"What is the emperor going to do with the matter of the princess Tutoya?"

Chu Jianyu's face sank, and he said, "The suspicion of the Tipu mission has not yet been cleared of the assassination. The marriage will be put aside for the time being, and we will talk about it when the truth is found out. What does the queen think? ”

"This is not the first time that King Qin has been assassinated. Previously, when he was in Xiajiang, someone attacked the king of Qin. The concubine couldn't figure out the connection and didn't dare to say more. ”

"I heard that the person who assassinated the fourth child in Xiajiang used the Nanlin knife method."

"Pingnan Bofu and the old department of Nanlin have long been cut off, and when it comes to this generation, the huge Bofu doesn't even have a martial arts practitioner, and the concubine doesn't dare to say anything."

"I haven't practiced martial arts, and it doesn't affect them to contact the old department of Nanlin."

"The British government has always been at odds with the Pingnanbo Mansion, this is ...... You have to ask Concubine De. ”

"The people who know you best are often not friends, but enemies." Chu Jianyu looked at Empress Song meaningfully, "The British Mansion has not caught the fault of the Pingnan Bo Mansion all these years?" ”

"The emperor forgot that the concubine was already an abandoned son of the British government. The affairs of the Guogong Mansion cannot be asked by the concubine. Even if it is found out, the concubine does not know. ”

"I really don't know?"

In the face of Chu Jianyu's inquiry, Queen Song replied without changing her face: "The concubine and the emperor are husband and wife who share weal and woe, how can they hide the emperor in such matters?" The concubine has no imperial heir, and the only one who can rely on the emperor is the emperor. If the emperor doesn't believe in concubines......"

At this point, Queen Song showed a sad smile.

"Of course I believe in you, but if I don't, how can I marry you? Don't think too much about these old things. ”

"The concubine understands."

Kunning Palace suddenly fell silent, and neither Chu Jianyu nor Empress Song spoke again.

After sitting for a while, Chu Jianyu got up and left Kunning Palace. The holy decree was also taken away by him.

"King Qin and Li Jiangwei ......"

Empress Song pinched the bridge of her nose, and suddenly sneered: "There is not much time left to choose." I don't know what you're going to ...... in the end Which path will you choose? ”
