Yao Hei'er, who was dressed, waved her hand to let the girls in the room out, stood in front of the big bronze mirror again, slowly turned around, dusted off her clothes back and forth, and said to Zhong Cuiling in the mirror, "Cuiling, what do you say is wrong with Qiong'er today?" ”

Zhong Cuiling shook her head and said, "Sister, I don't know either." Princess Ning has never been so impatient since she was a child. ”

Yao Hei'er was silent for a moment, as if she was saying to Cuiling, and as if she was saying to herself, "Is it difficult, it's the Holy Driver—it's not right, this morning, the Holy Driver sent General Kou out of the city, I watched from a distance, although the Saint's face was not very good, but it was still a little energetic." ”

Zhong Cuiling hurriedly waved her hand, looked at the figure of the little girl serving outside the window, and said in a low voice, "Sister, don't dare to talk nonsense." You better hurry up and take a look with Princess Ning, otherwise you will understand everything. ”

Yao Hei'er adjusted the position of the Jiufengdian'er on her head, picked up the rouge on the dressing table again, dipped it lightly, made up for it on her cheeks, and said slowly, "You must make a good plan before you can enter the palace to face the saint, otherwise you won't be able to answer, but you will find trouble for yourself." Haven't you heard that 'a companion is like a tiger'? ”

It was already dark, and a few little girls came in with lamps, and said with a smile, "Madam, the princess is urging outside again, and I ask you if the old man has cleaned up, please go out quickly." ”

Yao Hei'er scolded with a smile, "Little ghost, what are you anxious about? The person waiting left and right is my daughter. As he spoke, he had to go out of the door, sat in a soft sedan chair, and ordered someone to carry him to the gate.

Yao Qiong couldn't wait to open the curtain of the car, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Mother, why are you so slow today, it's all on the wall, and the water is on the house." ”

In the luxurious and exquisite Zhuzhu Cuigai Zhuwheeled Car, before Yao Hei'er could sit down, Yao Qiong had already urged the coachman to hurry away.

Yao Hei'er lifted the window screen on the side of the car, and a cool evening breeze, wrapped in the aroma of grass and wildflowers on the roadside, blew into the car.

Yao Hei'er looked at her anxious daughter and said with a smile, "What is it that makes you rush like this?" Can you say it now? ”

Yao Qiong frowned and lowered her voice, "Mother, are you still in the mood to laugh, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is dead! ”

"What?" Yao Hei'er instinctively stood up, almost stood up, and hit her head heavily on the top of the carriage, only to realize that she was in the car, "Qiong'er, don't dare to talk nonsense, how is this possible!" Your Majesty has personally sent General Kou and Master Ran on the expedition today! ”

"Mother!" Yao Qiong said impatiently: "How dare I talk nonsense about this? I just came from the palace, and I gave birth to a son because of my sister-in-law in the East Palace......"

"Wait...... You wait......" Yao Hei'er hurriedly stopped, "The crown princess is born?" Isn't there still more than half a month? How did you give birth so quickly? What does this have to do with His Majesty's death? ”

"Mother!" Yao Qiong was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "I want to say, you interrupted me again." At first, the Queen Mother and I were in the East Palace to talk to the crown princess, and suddenly the queen sent someone to invite the queen mother, saying that the emperor was not good, and I waited for the princess to sleep, so I hurried to the palace to ask the emperor for peace. The Queen Mother and the Queen are crying so much at the moment. ”

Yao Hei'er's mind was spinning rapidly, and one question after another was circling in her mind, and she hurriedly asked, "Then what did the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother do when they entered the palace?" I'm a woman......"

"Mother, don't interrupt me all the time!" Yao Qiong said quickly and concisely, "The emperor Yan drives, the queen mother and the queen discuss who will inherit the treasure, and no one discusses it for a while, so I remembered that my mother still has some knowledge, so I asked my mother to invite my mother." ”

Yao Hei'er quickly picked up and said, "The crown prince has passed away, and now that the saint is in charge, it is natural that King Ning should inherit the great treasure, what else is there to discuss?" ”

Yao Qiong'e frowned slightly, and said softly, "Now King Ning is unwilling, just because the crown princess gave birth to a son, and King Ning said that the prince's son will succeed to the throne......"

Yao Hei'er smiled lightly, "A child who was born only today, how can he inherit Dabao?" It's also a shame that King Ning can think of it! Qiong'er, you should also persuade King Ning. ”

Yao Qiong's face turned red, and she said in a hurry, "How can I persuade?" King Ning said that it was up to him to assist the government, and wait...... When the child grows up, he will be handed over to the political affairs. ”

Yao Hei'er was silent for a moment and said, "What do you think?" ”

Yao Qiong said, "I don't care, if King Ning insists on this, it is necessary for his mother to persuade the queen mother and the queen, so let's do it." ”

"Confused!" Yao Hei'er couldn't help but raise her voice a little, Yao Qiong hurriedly patted her arm lightly to remind her, Yao Hei'er lowered her voice again and said, "You have also been studying since childhood, haven't you read "Spring and Autumn", don't you know that there is a Lu Yin Gong in the Lu country?" ”

Yao Qiong was surprised and said, "Mother, what does this have to do with Lu Yingong?" ”

Yao Hei'er sighed and said, "When Duke Lu Hui died, because Duke Lu Huan was young, Duke Lu Yin was temporarily in charge. Lu Yingong is a good elder brother, waiting for his younger brother to grow up, so that he can return the throne to his younger brother, what is the result? Wasn't he killed by Lu Huan because of this? ”

Yao Qiong's eyes widened, and she said in a low voice, "Mother, that kid...... It doesn't have to be like this, is it? King Ning was his own uncle. ”

Yao Hei'er sneered: "Isn't Lu Yingong still Lu Huangong's own brother?" Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been bloody. Who is willing to be soft-hearted? King Ning doesn't want to be the emperor, it's best to take you to the countryside, hide far away, be a rich man for a lifetime, not only to assist the government, but also to return the throne to the prince's son in the future, which will inevitably be suspected. I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid that there are no good people, and if someone instigates it, who knows what will happen? ”

Yao Qiong sighed and said, "How can you hide? King Ding is young, Mu has just been established for a year or two, if there is no uncle by his side to assist the government, how can this throne be kept? ”

Yao Hei'er shook her head to herself and said, "In that case, why can't King Ning be the new king?" ”

Yao Qiong had already rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, and she said faintly, "It's always his brotherly affection, not long after the prince passed away, this throne should have belonged to the prince, but now it seems that King Ning has taken advantage of the loophole." ”

Yao Hei'er glanced at her daughter and said, "Qiong'er, you tell your mother the truth, haven't you ever thought about being a queen?" ”

"Mother!" Yao Qiong glanced forward in horror, although through the thick curtain, the two of them spoke in a very low voice, and it was impossible for the coachman in front of her to hear anything, but she was still a little weak-hearted, "Mother, okay, why do you want to be a queen?" She turned her head, looked out the window at the dark night, and said faintly, "If possible...... If I could, I'd rather ...... Be...... A peasant woman in a mountain village. ”

Yao Hei'er was silent, she knew what Yao Qiong really wanted to say.

There was a faint light on the curtain outside the car window, and the palace was about to arrive.

If you don't say anything, it's too late, Yao Hei'er gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, Qiong'er, you have to make up your mind, if King Ning can't be the emperor, he will be Lu Yingong, or even the King Zhen of Xu State, in short, it's not good." ”

Yao Qiong didn't answer, Yao Hei'er was a little impatient, and whispered softly, "Qiong'er?" ”

Just in the light outside the window, Yao Hei'er saw Yao Qiong's face with a sad look, her heart ached, and she said in a low voice, "Qiong'er, is King Ning not good to you?" ”

Yao Qiong smiled reluctantly, and was about to speak, when the car stopped. Outside the car curtain, a humble voice said, "Princess, madam, the palace has arrived, please get off the car!" ”
