At three o'clock, in the study of the Guangping Palace, a handsome man, wearing a bright yellow robe and a gray robe, sat in front of the desk with a sad brow.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a eunuch and with a slightly chubby figure walked in, holding a basin of hot water in his hand, and smoke was filling the top of the basin.

"Your Highness, the hour is not early, let's rest early."

"Don't worry, this king still has some government affairs that have not yet been dealt with, Jianzhang, you go down first, just put the water there, and in addition, add some carbon to the charcoal basin."

"Yes, Your Highness." The brief had just retreated, and the door was open. At this moment, there seemed to be a breeze drifting by, and the candle on the desk swayed.

"Yupu, come out."

"Your Highness," the man in a night robe replied with a bow.

"How's the matter that the king asked you to check?"

"Your Royal Highness, now Your Majesty is becoming more and more suspicious of His Royal Highness the Prince, and privately sent Yang Guozhong and the Inner Flying Dragon Envoy to secretly investigate the evidence of His Royal Highness the Prince's rebellion, and His Majesty also followed Yang Guozhong's suggestion to include Yang Guozhong's niece Cui Shi into the Guangping Palace, and the holy decree will be issued in a few days."

"Humph!" Li Jiao sneered, and his face became even more gloomy.

"This Yang Guozhong has a good calculation! It is said that the Cui family admires me and includes it in the Guangping Palace, in fact, if the Cui family becomes the eldest grandson of the crown prince and the princess of Guangping, then the status of his Yang family will be more entrenched, and no one can shake it, if not, it is also a good chess piece that he placed around the king to monitor the king! ”

"But the Cui family's status is also prominent, and this Cui family is the niece of the concubine, even if she is included in the palace and is not favored, she must be a princess!"

"Who is the person who is included in the palace, this king has no choice, can't this king's own princess be the master herself? I just said that I was included in the palace, but I didn't say that it must be the princess, I will go to see Your Majesty tomorrow, and beg Your Majesty Cui to enter the palace as a side concubine first, and the king's own princess will choose by herself! "The next day, in the Taiji Palace, King Guangping knelt in front of His Majesty in court clothes,

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't object to you giving your grandson a side concubine, but my grandson's own wife wants to choose by herself, in case the Cui grandson doesn't like it, do you want your grandson to fall out of tune with the princess and go to favor the concubine? Do you bear that your great-eldest grandson is a concubine? ”

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you, but the Cui family is the concubine's favorite niece, although she is a widow, you can't snub others." Although Xuanzong is the Son of Heaven, he has no choice but to respond to the eldest grandson in front of him, who he loves the most, in fact, if you think about it, what Yu'er said is not completely unreasonable, and she can't give her eldest grandson an arrogant and jealous name that has spread throughout Chang'an Cui as the princess.

Although he agreed to Yang Xiangguo's admission to Cui's house, he did not promise the position of princess, and asked Yu'er to treat Cui's family well as an explanation to the concubine.

"Emperor Xie's grandfather is gracious, and his grandson will definitely not treat the Cui family badly, after all, he is Yang Xiangguo's niece, and the position of the side concubine is already wronged, so as not to be realized."

"Well, it's good to know, step down, by the way, since you want to choose the princess, then I will allow you to watch when the East Palace selects the palace test the day after tomorrow!" Li Jiao was just about to get up and retire, when he heard His Majesty's words, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, according to the rules, except for the prince and His Majesty, all other men were forbidden to enter.

Only then did he realize that his grandfather, who had ordered him to kill his three sons in one day, had a far greater preference for him than he had imagined.
