It's not that the queen hasn't tried to win over Duan Chengwen in recent years, but Duan Chengwen just doesn't get in the oil and salt, and the county lord of Duansu rarely responds to her summons from time to time. The queen was afraid of the Niangjia Xianwang Mansion behind the Duansu County Lord, and she couldn't be too persecutive.

She wanted to meddle in Duan Shaolan's marriage, but Duan Chengwen actually asked Zhen Guogong to intervene to stop it.

After Duan Shaolan became Xiao Xuan's concubine, it was easy for Sister Chu to reach the marriageable age, she once mentioned in front of the county lord of Duansu that there were several families interested in Sister Chu, but the county lord of Duansu excused that Sister Chu was still young and wanted to raise her by his side for a few more years before sending her to marry.

She tried several times to win over Duan Chengwen to a room, who would have expected that Duan Shaoyou would have an accident, in order to save Duan Shaoyou's life, the queen and Xiao Lu also tore their faces.

At that time, Xiao Lu's cruel eyes, like a poisonous snake entrenched behind her and spitting out a letter, made the queen have nightmares for several days.

I didn't expect the prince of Zhenguo to suddenly fall ill and die, in the end, brother and sister, when he learned of his brother's death, the queen shed some tears for him.

The queen really didn't expect that the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly entered the palace to ask to see Emperor Chu, and it turned out to be to hand over the title of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion to Duan Chengwen in order to - go - to the book.

The queen learned the news and hurried from Zhaoyang Palace to the outside of Lingyun Palace.

The prince of Zhenguo knew why the queen came, and the queen said that although the prince of Zhenguo had passed away, he still had two sisters-in-law under his knees, and the title must not be handed over to Duan Chengwen, the concubine.

"Father, I know that my eldest brother has indeed disappointed you in recent years." The queen knelt in the hall in embarrassment and said to the prince of Zhenguo. "The succession to the title is related to the inheritance of the blood of the Duke of Zhenguo, the eldest brother does not have no heirs, why should he give the title to the second brother?"

"The succession of the title is not only about the bloodline of the Duan family, the title of the Duan family is given by the Jokhang royal family, and the Zhenguo Mansion cannot let the mediocre inherit, because it is useless for the country." Facing the tearful queen, Zhenguo Gong simply stopped looking at her and turned his head to look at Emperor Chu. "Your Majesty, although the eldest son of the courtier has two grown sons-in-law, neither of them is talented. The second son of the minister has been written and has served His Majesty for many years, and His Majesty should know that he is the best person to inherit the title of Duke of Zhenguo. ”

Duan Chengwen was fashionable and was still the first emperor, but after Emperor Chu ascended the throne, he slowly walked step by step to the position of a Shangshu today.

He is regarded as an important minister in the court who was single-handedly raised by Emperor Chu, and compared with the two sons of the prince of Zhenguo, it is obviously better for the Zhenguo Mansion to be handed over to Duan Chengwen.

Seeing that Emperor Chu was shaken, the queen's heart sank, and she bit her tongue and tip of her tongue ruthlessly, and fainted with blood in her mouth.

Although she suffered a little, the queen's move successfully stopped Emperor Chu's hand stretched out to Zhu Bi.

Zhen Guogong returned in vain, and immediately summoned Duan Chengwen to his study and told him what happened in the palace.

The pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, coupled with the old injuries and old diseases that had been fighting for many years, the whole person of Zhenguo Gong, who had been struggling to support him all the way, fell into decay as soon as he entered the house.

"Father, the eldest brother is newly mourned, and the queen mother is the eldest brother's sister-in-law, so it is inevitable that my father will come forward at this time to ask me to be the next son." Duan Chengwen hurriedly instructed the subordinates outside to bring over the decoction that Zhen Guogong wanted to drink every day, and carefully helped Zhen Guogong to sit down on the edge of the bed. The son knew that his father was sad about the death of his eldest brother, and nothing was as important as his father taking good care of his body. As for the succession of the title of Fuzhong, my father should take advantage of this time to think about it again. ”

"So, did you ever think that the title of the palace would fall on your head?" Zhen Guogong's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he suddenly asked Duan Chengwen.

"If my son pretends to say no, will my father believe me?" Duan Chengwen squatted in front of Zhen Guogong and said in a sincere tone. "To be honest, when my son was bullied by his eldest brother when he was young, I didn't think about how good it would be if I were the heir of my father and mother. My father is away all the year round, my mother is in charge of the family, my biological mother died early, and my son has to grow up in obscurity and convergence. But I chose the most advantageous from among these people. ”

"Sure enough, everyone said that you are the son who is most like me." Duan Chengwen's words made Zhen Guogong slightly stunned, and then laughed helplessly. "Things have come to this point, even if your eldest brother is not dead, this title will not be given to him. The queen is my daughter, I can still tell whether she is really faint or fake in front of Your Majesty today, and I came back today just to give her full face, and besides, Your Majesty has also approved my request, and I will not easily change my mind because of the obstruction of a harem woman. ”

"A son has his father's blood in him, and it is natural to be like a father." Duan Chengwen smiled helplessly. "If it weren't for my mother doting on my eldest brother too much, my eldest brother might be the one who is most like my father."

It is true that the several concubines under the knee of Zhenguo Gong, including Duan Chengwen, mostly follow their biological mothers. There is only one son, the deceased prince of Zhenguo, and his appearance is very similar to that of Zhenguogong.

"That's it, let's not talk about him." The subordinate sent the medicine over, and Zhen Guogong took it and tested the temperature, and directly raised his head and drank it all. "I'm tired and want to take a break."

"Yes, the son helped his father to lie down." Duan Chengwen carefully placed Zhen Guogong to lie down, and after seeing Zhen Guogong closing his eyes tiredly, Duan Chengwen relaxed his steps and slowly retreated.

As soon as the queen made a fuss in the Lingyun Palace, it quickly spread throughout the palace.

Emperor Liu Guifei naturally got the news as soon as possible, and at this time, Concubine De and Ning Guiren were both talking to her in Yihua Palace.

"I really didn't expect that the queen mother, who has always been dignified and graceful, would make such a drama." Concubine De said mockingly. "It's not like she's from a big family, it's like a skinny woman from the market."

"It's understandable that the queen mother was forced to be like this, although the king of the county is now back in office, but in the end he is only the king of the county, and he is a head lower than the prince of the other four princes." Ning Guiren also said with a smile. "The prince of Zhenguo is the last hole card of the queen's mother, and now it has been suddenly lost, no wonder the queen mother is so disgraceful in His Royal Highness. Speaking of which, the illness of the prince of this town was really sudden, and his condition deteriorated quickly, so that he didn't even get sick for two months. ”

"Speaking of which, I have a guess that my sister-in-law came to visit me in the palace a while ago. It is said that someone saw the prince of Zhenguo combing a woman from the hall to make an outer room. "Concubine De has no children under her knees, and in order to avoid loneliness in the palace, she often invites the female relatives of the family into the palace to talk to her, so she is the most well-informed in the news outside the palace." But suddenly, one day, the Zhenguo Mansion suddenly sent someone to find the courtyard where the outer room lived, and then someone found that the courtyard was empty. I thought about it, isn't that the girl in the hall afraid that she is not clean, and I am afraid that some terrible dirty disease has been given to the prince of Zhenguo, right? ”

"That's really hard to say." Concubine De said, Ning Guiren echoed and said. "I heard that if this kind of dirty disease does not occur, if it comes out of an emergency, if the body is not good, it will be fatal. Isn't this prince of Zhenguo a famous gentleman in the imperial capital? I can't say that my body has already been hollowed out by wine, so it's reasonable to die on this end. ”

"You two are gossiping." Concubine Liu said with a smile. "It's just that the queen fainted again today, so we have to go to Zhaoyang Palace tomorrow to visit and visit."

Concubine De and Ning Guiren looked at each other and smiled, saying that the visit was just to add to the queen's blockage.

"By the way, isn't the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion the princess's husband's house?" Ning Guiren is not a person from the imperial capital, and she does not know all about the relationship between these characters, so she said unexpectedly after a while. "If it is really Your Majesty who agrees to Zhenguo Gong's request, and the title falls into the hands of the second room, it will be a surprise for His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

"The Duke of Zhenguo has always been neutral, if the title is inherited by the son of the prince of Zhenguo, it will indeed be biased towards the queen and the king of Jinjun." Concubine De said. "When Ning Guiren said this, even if Duan Chengwen in the second room of the Zhenguo Mansion is still neutral in the future, it will still be beneficial to the two highnesses of the imperial concubine."

"Well, okay, let's not talk about the outside world." Concubine Liu had her own thoughts in her heart, and she smiled and diverted the topic. "Xuan'er sent someone to bring a strange style of dim sum into the palace today, I used a few pieces, but the strange taste is excellent. I've got some to prepare, so you two can try them just in time. ”

After the dim sum was served, Concubine De and Ning Guiren each picked up a piece and ate it, it was indeed not as fragrant as ordinary dim sum, sweet and greasy in the throat, the taste was crispy, the entrance was slightly bitter but sweet, and it did taste good.

Concubine De and Ning Guiren ate a piece, and couldn't help but take a piece again.

"Well, it tastes good, right?" Concubine Liu said with a smile. "I'll ask Baizhu to load two food boxes for you, and take them with you when you leave."

"Then thank you to the imperial concubine." Ning Guiren was a little younger, and immediately responded with a smile.

"It's good if you like it, Xuan'er just likes to tinker with these foods." Emperor Liu said. "The next time she has a new trick, I'll just have someone pretend to send it to you to try it."

Concubine De and Ning Guiren sat with Concubine Liu for a while, and seeing that she looked tired, they both got up to say goodbye.

Emperor Liu's concubine was sick last time, and her spirit was indeed not as good as before, so she didn't leave anyone, and let the two of them leave Yihua Palace.

"Baizhu, send a message for me tomorrow to let the princess enter the palace." Concubine Liu Huang leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes to recuperate, and after a while, she opened her eyes and said to Baizhu who was standing beside her.
