Chapter 40: The Exchange of Princes

In the Realm King's Mansion, Su Zhijing was practicing swords with Gui Longqin in the courtyard, and when he turned sideways, the blade of the sword almost stabbed Gui Longqin's arm, but fortunately, Su Zhijing collected his strength in time, so she was not injured.

Wiping the sweat oozing from her forehead, Su Zhijing asked worriedly, "Why are you so absent-minded?"

"Yes, maybe I'm a little tired."

"Are you still thinking about the daytime?" Su Zhijing always saw through Gui Longqin's mind so easily.

"Well, I have always wondered why the emperor would give the little princess to the eldest brother to raise, just because she is a girl?"

The warm hands wrapped Gui Longqin's hand in it, and his eyes were like torches, "What are you thinking about all day and night in your little head?" The emperor is not a person who doesn't care about his own flesh and blood, he must have his reasons for doing this. ”

"What could be more important than your own children?"

"Of course, there are many more important than children, such as the queen mother. Maybe you can't understand the emperor's approach now, but next month you will understand. ”

This question has always remained in Gui Longqin's heart, and he has not figured it out for a long time, until the eldest prince's Fujin gave birth to Lin'er, and the mystery in his heart was solved.

"See the queen's mother" Fu Jin, who had just given birth on the bed, turned pale, and saw that the queen was trying to stand up and wanted to salute.

Hu Lingye stepped forward with an arrow step, helped Dafujin and lay back on the bed, "The princess has just given birth, don't get up, your family doesn't have to see each other like this." ”

"Princess? How can grass people afford it? ”

"This palace came this time not only to send the little princess to the princess to raise, but also to bring an edict to the emperor, although the holy decree has not yet been issued, but now the emperor has named the eldest brother as the king of Chengyi, and the sister-in-law is naturally the princess."

"Thank you for your grace. The concubines must raise the princess with all their hearts and live up to the kindness of the emperor and the queen. ”

"The princess has just given birth, so the palace will not bother, rest and recuperate."

got up and was about to leave, but Hu Lingye was pulled by Princess Chengyi's sleeve.

"What else is the matter with the princess?"

Princess Chengyi sent someone to bring the little brother over, got up with difficulty, and knelt in front of the queen with the little brother.

"What is the princess doing, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly."

But the princess seemed to have made up her mind, and she was unwilling to get up no matter how much the queen persuaded her.

"The queen mother, the concubines know that the emperor and the queen mother are suffering from childlessness, and those old ministers must have tried their best to let the emperor accept the queen concubine, but I am also a woman, I understand the feelings of the queen, which woman does not want to have a completely exclusive feeling, so today I am willing to give the child to the queen to raise."

"This can't be helped, princess hurry up."

"No, this kid is not easy to come by, now Nanzhao Kingdom needs a prince to calm people's hearts, even if it is not for herself, please think more about the national fortune of Nanzhao Kingdom, please don't shirk."

"Did the prince ever know about this?"

"Naturally, we know, after the child was born, we discussed this matter with the emperor, and the emperor only said that we should respect the opinion of the queen's mother, don't think that we will be depressed, isn't there a little princess to accompany us."

"Well, then I will thank the princess."

Hu Lingye suddenly knelt on the ground, bowed her head and gave a big salute to the princess, and there were distressing tears on both of their faces.

In fact, they all know that this will happen tonight, but they are both women and mothers of children, and they can't bear to break each other.

In the royal family, how can you abandon the country, maybe today's ending is the best choice.

After that day, there was an additional Princess Meiyi in the palace, and there was a little prince by the queen's side.

After this incident, the group of old ministers in the court no longer quarreled about the matter of the concubine, but there were many people praising the magnanimity of the queen.

One afternoon, Gui Longqin, who was gossiping with the prince of the realm, suddenly opened his mouth, "Did the prince have long guessed that the ending would be like this?" ”

"Qin'er refers to the emperor's appointment of the crown prince?"

"Well, if it weren't for the fact that Princess Chengyi gave birth to Lin'er, how could the emperor propose to send Princess Meiyi to the princess to be raised."

"I'm afraid this matter is not what Qin'er thinks, whether the child that Princess Chengyi will give birth to is male or female, no one can predict, but some old ministers in the court are still subordinates of the eldest brother, and at that time, the eldest brother had no children under his knees, and the emperor sent Princess Meiyi to the eldest brother's mansion, just to let him suppress the old ministers in the court."

"Alas, in the end, it is the children who suffer for us adults."

Su Zhijing pulled Gui Longqin, who had a sad face, to his lap and sat down, "Qin'er is so good to other people's children, she will definitely be a good mother in the future." ”

"Will it? Now that the prince spoils me so much, I feel like a child who will never grow up, and I don't want a child to compete with me for favor. ”

"I'm talking nonsense again, if you have a child in the future, there will be two people who will love you together, how can anyone compete with you for favor."

"That day, the prince looked at Princess Meiyi, it was really like seeing the treasures of the world, and his love was overflowing, thinking that the prince had never seen me like this, and he was very aggrieved."

"Qin'er feels wronged? How do I compensate you? I promise you. ”

"Does the prince really promise me everything?"

"Well, a gentleman can't chase a horse. As long as I can do it, I will naturally agree. ”

"Then when the prince goes out on the expedition in a few days, take me to the battlefield."

"How did you find out?"

Gui Longqin knew that he had missed his mouth, blinked his eyes, and said innocently, "Anyway, I just know, the prince promised me everything he said, I don't care, I will follow the prince whatever he says." ”

"But..."

Sensing that he would say something against him, Gui Longqin hurriedly covered Su Zhijing's mouth, "I know what you have to say, but the battlefield is very dangerous, the sword has no eyes, and I won't let a woman take risks." ”

sighed, leaned on Su Zhijing's shoulder, and whispered, "But I know how hard it is to wait, I always cry and fall asleep every night, and sometimes I dream that you leave me in my dreams, and I wake up crying, at that time I wish you could hug me." ”

"Okay, I'll take you there, and I'll take you wherever I go in the future." Sighing lightly, he hugged the person in his arms tightly, and Su Zhijing agreed to this matter.

In the old days, he always felt that leaving his beloved in a safe place was what a man should do.

But now it seems that the most reassuring thing in the world is the person who sees the heart every day.

Feel his heartbeat steadily, and you can touch the warm body with your hands, compared to these, everything else is really no longer important.

In life, there is nothing more important than the person who will be by your side for a long time at this moment.
