Chapter 431: Succession
When Mo Qingrou woke up the next morning, the whole world turned white.
She thought the weather was beautiful.
It seemed that everyone just had to sit in their own little room, blaze the fire, and not think about anything.
"Girl, let's go out and have fun, you see that the snow is so thick this year, there will be a good harvest of grain."
Mo shook his head softly.
"If you want to go, go by yourself, I'm afraid of the cold, I'll just take a look here."
"Okay then."
After Xiao Yue saw that Mo Qingrou was not interested, she took Xiao Su out with her.
Mo Qingrou suddenly remembered the princess who lived in the courtyard at the back.
I have been in a very low mood for the past few days, so I didn't go to see her.
Although I don't know if they have the habit of celebrating the New Year in Xinjiang, but at such a time, a person will always be a little bored.
Mo said softly and stood up, intending to talk to Xingchen.
By the time she passed, Xingchen was sitting there bored.
Most of the place in Huijiang is desert, and there has never been such a heavy snowfall.
Mo Qingrou saw that the princess was still wearing some thin clothes alone.
Could it be that these unsightly subordinates in the General's Mansion are making it difficult for the princess?
"Isn't it cold when you're wearing such a thin layer of snow and such a heavy snow?"
Mo walked up softly and with some confusion.
"I don't think it's cold, I just think I've never seen snow before, I've just heard people say it, but now that I really see it, I'm not happy, do you think I'm a little strange?"
Xingchen smiled helplessly.
"What's so strange about this, I naturally understand your feelings, you have to believe that your brother will definitely take you back."
Mo Qingrou knew that Xingchen was a princess, but she could only be imprisoned in this small general's mansion, and her mood was naturally not much better.
But now she doesn't seem to have any better place to go than to stay here.
"Why don't I go and tell the general not to lock you up in this place."
Mo Qingrou has always been very concerned about this matter, originally thought that this princess was not a good person at first, but now that she has been in contact with it more, she feels that the two brothers and sisters are very pitiful.
Xingchen shook his head, not very concerned about this matter.
"I'm safe here, I'm afraid I'll still feel a little uncomfortable if I let those messy people in and out, it's good now, and it's not so much that I'm imprisoned here, but that I'm willing to stay here, otherwise what would trap me here?"
Xingchen looked at Mo Qingrou.
"Looks like the stuff you bothered about the other day is gone?"
"I think it's better than before."
Mo looked out softly.
"So what are your New Year's resolutions? Do you really want to stay in this place for a year? ”
When Xingchen heard this, he also lowered his head.
In the past, she always felt that her life was very happy, but since she learned that she had grown up, she was the fate of being kissed, and she was not happy.
Fortunately, I also have an older brother who feels very sorry for me.
"I don't know, what else can I do now? I can only take one step at a time. ”
Mo nodded softly, maybe people living in this world will have more or less troubles.
Palace
After the emperor went through last night's incident, he was not in the mood to go to the harem, so he just stayed in the study alone in a daze.
"Your Majesty, the adults stationed outside have sent an urgent message."
The emperor only thought it was very strange, didn't Huijiang surrender last year? Is there anything else going on this year?
"Quick, get it for me."
Naturally, he was a little nervous.
After all, now that An Shuangchi is "sick", there is really no one who can go out in his place.
It turned out that after Xinghe returned to his hometown, he also began to compete for the throne with his father's favorite prince.
The old emperor is sick, and now the two of them are also fighting, which has seriously affected the people in the frontier.
The general stationed there didn't know what to do with this matter, so he sent a letter back.
The emperor still knows a lot about the princes who returned to Xinjiang.
The eldest prince is the son of the queen, but he has never been favored.
The second prince is the son of the concubine, but he has been established as a prince, and this second prince has always been very competitive, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with, if she is made the emperor, I'm afraid the war between the two countries will continue.
"How can this be?"
For a moment he also felt upset.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li personally brought you chicken soup."
Although the emperor is in a bad mood, he still has to do enough work on the surface.
It's the New Year, and it's not a good thing if you save Concubine Li's face.
Besides, now, what happened in Xinjiang may lead to war in the future.
You can't make the relationship too stiff.
"It's such a heavy snow, why don't you invite the mother in."
Concubine Li is not interested in giving the emperor chicken soup, but now because of her brother's affairs, she still needs to maintain a good relationship with him on the surface.
"Your Majesty, you stayed in the study for one night yesterday, I heard that you haven't eaten yet, so I sent you this, it's cold outside, eat a little, maybe it will be better."
Concubine Li still looks as gentle as before, unlike the queens in recent years, who are becoming more and more unpresentable.
When the emperor arrived, he felt that his mood was a little better than before.
"Thank you, concubine."
Concubine Li only noticed at this time that the emperor didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
"Your Majesty, are you still angry about what happened last night? In fact, it doesn't have to be like this, I believe that the queen's sister didn't mean it. ”
She had no choice but to pretend to open her mouth to persuade such a sentence.
"Hasn't the queen's stinky temper always been like this? My bad mood has nothing to do with this. ”
"At a time like this, the emperor still needs to maintain a good mood, if there is any trouble, you might as well talk to the concubines."
Concubine Li opened her mouth as she served the soup.
The emperor felt that his body and mind had become comfortable.
"It's not a serious matter, it's just that I received an urgent message this morning, and I am afraid that the second son will continue to cause a war, so I am in a bad mood."
Concubine Li also understood at this time.
"In that case, wouldn't it be okay for the emperor to arrange for a few foreign ministers to come over and negotiate, they have already signed an agreement last year, and it cannot be violated within 20 years."
"That being said, but the new emperor is on the throne, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as imagined."
The emperor's tone paused.
"Now your brother's illness is not cured, but there is no more suitable candidate than him in this court......"
The emperor also wanted to say something.
At that time, if it hadn't relied on An Shuangchi to advance step by step on the frontier, I'm afraid this victory would not have been achieved so quickly.
He now regretted that he shouldn't have poisoned him so early.
"I can't do anything like this, Brother Shuang's illness is also very strange, it's just that he simply doesn't have the previous skills, but there is no danger to his life."
Concubine Li felt that her heart was very unbalanced. It seems that the emperor will still make An Shuang late in this matter, and he must tell An Shuangchi about this matter like a way!
"Well, now that the weather is a little cold, you better go back to the dormitory, and I'll see you when I'm done with these things."
"Yes."
Concubine Li nodded, and sure enough, she went back.
The emperor's mood has now fallen to the bottom, and he has no choice but to convene the ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Concubine Li returned to Chuxiu Palace, and she always felt very uneasy about this matter.
I had to let my people prepare some things, and I planned to tell the news to An Shuangchi in the name of reward.
"Niangniang, this is not good, now the emperor has some doubts about Niangniang, if this matter is known by the emperor, I am afraid it will ......."
"When is this all about? Do you want to pay attention to these? As long as there is a home for a day, nothing will happen to me, and if the family is not there one day, then I will be alone. ”
The palace maid didn't say anything more, but just prepared the gift as requested.
An Shuangchi and Mo Qingrou were originally just two people sitting together in the warm pavilion reading a book, and it was snowing outside, which was very pleasant.
"General, Concubine Li has sent a reward."
Suddenly, the butler came in.
An Shuangchi could only put down the book in his hand for the time being and went out to receive the reward.
The palace maid told An Shuangchi what the mother told her as it was.
An Shuangchi was not too surprised by such a thing.
"You go back and tell Niangniang, I already know about this matter, so that Niangniang doesn't have to worry about me."
"Yes."
After saying this, the palace maid left.
Mo Qingrou stood aside and listened, and felt that this emperor was really too shameless.
When there is no use value, you have to do everything possible to want to pop it up, and when you need it, you want to use it so shamelessly.
"General, you can refuse this matter, anyway, now that you are "sick", why bother with so many haves and don'ts. ”
An Shuangchi saw that Niangniang had already passed the news, and knew that the emperor's decree might come down in two days.
When the time comes, even if you don't want to, there is nothing you can do.
The emperor knows that he just has no martial arts now, but he has no life safety, and I am afraid that this matter will have to be done by himself nine times out of ten.
An Shuangchi felt that it was time to think about that plan.
