Chapter 56: The two dragons don't meet

Concubine Jing's dream, so that the emperor who originally intended to abdicate the throne was silent, he recruited Fang Shi Yuan Dao to become his dream interpretation, that Yuan Daocheng had already been secretly bought by Concubine Jing, listened to the emperor's call, and held a whisk of dust for the emperor's divination, that Yuan Daocheng closed his eyes and muttered for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Not good!" The dust trail in his hand flew up to the roof, circled back and forth, and then fell at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Daocheng lay on the ground and trembled, and said: "Long live the Lord forgive the sins, long live the Lord forgive the sins." ”

Lord Xiao was confused by Yuan Daocheng, this old man has been in the palace for eight years, and he has never seen him so flustered, Lord Xiao said with a calm face: "Why is the national teacher like this?" ”

Yuan Daocheng prostrate on the ground and wept profusely: "Please long live the lord to retreat left and right, and the ministers dare to speak directly." Lord Xiao made a look, everyone quietly withdrew from the palace, only Concubine Jing stayed in the palace, and after everyone went out, Lord Xiao stood up and helped Yuan Daocheng: "Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, sit down and speak." ”

Yuan Daocheng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, stared at the emperor and asked, "Long live the Lord today, can you have the intention of establishing a prince?" And have the heart of inferiority? ”

The emperor had no expression on his face, but he was extremely puzzled in his heart, the establishment of the crown prince was still an expedient measure for him to remove the three kings, and the abdication was an idea he just had today, this old Taoist was able to guess, and couldn't help but be more convinced that Yuan Daocheng was an immortal who had attained the Tao, since there were such unpredictable prophets around him, why not let him see who of the five princes could become the lord of Zhongxing. Thinking of this, Lord Xiao nodded and asked: "I have only felt tired recently, and I do intend to abdicate the throne, but I don't know which of my emperors can take on this important responsibility, dare to ask the national teacher if he can count it for my emperor?" ”

As soon as Lord Xiao finished speaking, Yuan Daocheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and played: "The emperor must not make a prince!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? Lord Xiao looked at Yuan Daocheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and was suspicious.

"Back to the emperor, according to the dream just described by Concubine Jing, it is a sign that the two dragons can't meet!"

"A sign that the two dragons can't meet?" Lord Xiao looked at Yuan Daocheng and muttered to himself, but he didn't understand the meaning for a while.

Yuan Daocheng looked at the blank face of Lord Xiao, and explained: "Long live the lord, Concubine Jing's dream is a warning from the heavens, the emperor can never establish a prince, you are the true dragon of heaven, and the five princes are the little dragons around the real dragon, circling and chasing is inevitably the meaning of watching, the four dragons are not seen, only the red dragon pounced on the yellow dragon, the yellow dragon fell and disappeared, the emperor, think about it carefully, who is the red dragon?" This is God telling the emperor that the two dragons can't meet! ”

Lord Xiao seemed to have understood, and he was even more convinced of Yuan Daocheng's words, and he hurriedly asked Yuan Daocheng: "According to what the national teacher has seen, what should the widow do?" To tell the truth, the widow has been tired of thinking recently, lazy to take care of the government, and feels quite difficult, so he has the heart of the prince, if the prince cannot be established, then how can he share the worries of the widow? ”

Yuan Daocheng looked at Concubine Jingniang, kowtowed, and said: "The bell must be tied to the bell, there are not many things in the court, and the five princes have never been in contact, why don't you ask the person who builds the dream?" ”

Lord Xiao has relied on Concubine Jing in recent years, and after hearing this, he already understood what Yuan Daocheng meant, so he turned to Concubine Jing and asked, "Does Concubine Ai have any high strategies?" ”

Concubine Jing hurriedly left her seat, her voice was charming with a little panic: "Long live the concubines, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the concubines should not be here, just to worry about the emperor's dragon body, and because of this strange dream, I am afraid that Yuan Daochang will ask questions from time to time, so he has never left, such a national event, how dare the concubines speak in vain?" ”

Lord Xiao put his hands around Concubine Jing: "Why should you be humble when you love your concubine, the widow can naturally say that it is possible, you should only see how this matter is more secure as a concubine, in this way," Lord Xiao promised to avoid Concubine Jing's concerns: "As long as the concubine has a good plan, the widow will foster the five princes under the knees of the concubine, and how about recognizing you as a concubine from now on?" ”

"This ......." Concubine Jing deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, in fact, she had already thought of countermeasures, with her understanding of Lord Xiao, at this time, any prince she recommended would attract the emperor's suspicion and suspicion, it is better to have two sons to supervise the country at the same time, thinking of this, Concubine Jing smiled: "Long live since you can trust the concubine so much, then the concubine has the courage to speak, why not let the two kings supervise the country at the same time, manage the government together, and solve problems for Long Life?" ”

When Lord Xiao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and said: "Concubine Ai is really smart and wise, a good two kings and the country are in charge of the government, is it safe for the military advisor to see this?" ”

Yuan Daocheng naturally praised him, but who was in charge of the country, Xiao Guozhu made trouble again, he originally liked the eldest prince Xiao Chengtian, but Concubine Jing's dream made him instantly jealous of this son, if only the fourth prince Xiao Yishuo was in charge of the country, he was a little uneasy, recently Xiao Guozhu heard some rumors that the four princes were pampered, cruel and unkind, lustful and greedy, although there was no empirical evidence, but Xiao Yishuo secretly walked around with Prime Minister Lan Guang frequently, but he knew very well, especially Lan Guang was willing to take the crime of bullying the king, The eldest daughter Xue Yi was married to the second prince Xiao Yichen instead of Xue Wu, and the real Xue Wu was married to Xiao Yishuo as a concubine. ET

Concubine Jing saw the emperor's hesitation, and also saw the emperor's recent dissatisfaction with the four princes, in order to ensure her own glory and wealth in the future, she had to plan for the four princes, Concubine Jing smiled and saluted the lord of Xiao Guo and said: "Long live the lord, who is the country worried about?" ”

Lord Xiao nodded: "What do you think of Concubine Ai letting Luochen and Shuo'er supervise the country?" ”

Concubine Jing didn't say anything, just stretched out her five fingers and closed them, Lord Xiao didn't understand what she meant, and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, just think it's a common thing for you and me to gossip." ”

Concubine Jing said with a smile: "Long live the Lord has just given the five princes to the concubines as sons, the five princes are young, naturally they can't take on the responsibility of supervising the country, and the whereabouts of the three princes are uncertain, they travel all day long, and they send love calligraphy and paintings, I'm afraid they are not proper people, as for these two princes......" Concubine Jing looked at the face of the lord of Xiao, the lord of the Xiao country has been quite dependent on this second prince recently, although he was secretly on guard, but he also secretly sent people to the palace of the king of Chongqing several times, so the emperor's attitude towards the second prince Concubine Jing couldn't figure it out for a while.

Lord Xiao shook his head: "Chen'er is indeed a manufacturable material, but it's a pity that she has been reduced to a cripple now, so naturally she can't." ”

"Then only the eldest prince and the fourth prince are trustworthy people, and the two of them are inseparable, both are arrogant talents, long live the lord can rest assured."

"What's wrong with me?!" Lord Xiao stared at Concubine Jing and asked. 、

Concubine Jing knew that she had missed her mouth, so she hurriedly diverted the topic: "The concubine has a niece who is lonely outside, can the concubine please bring my niece Li Qing to the palace and talk about comfort under my knees?" ”

The emperor nodded, and Concubine Jing retired, and then Li Qing approached the palace.

Xiao Yishuo quietly listened to Concubine Jing's story, both admired and scared of this woman in his heart, it seemed that even if he ascended the throne in the future, he would not be able to escape Concubine Jing's grasp, he glanced at Li Qing in the warm bed, the face of Xiao Xueyi made him both annoyed and reluctant, covering up the chaos in the center, Xiao Yishuo got dressed and gave Concubine Jing a salute and asked: "Xiao Wang, but please ask the mother to command, what should I do?" ”

Concubine Jing took Xiao Yishuo's hand, saw that it was already bright outside, and said: "It's still early at this time, if you leave the palace now, it will definitely arouse suspicion, so you just wait for noon to leave......"

"Concubine Jingniang....... Empress........ Big things are wrong! At that moment, there was a sudden sound of a sharp knocker outside the door.

Xiao Yishuo was so frightened that her face was like earth, staring at Concubine Jing speechless, in the end, Concubine Jing was calm, she waved her hand, signaling Li Qing and Xiao Yishuo to hide under the bed, and she was dressed up, cleared her throat and deliberately shouted angrily: "Who is so bold, so presumptuous in the morning!" ”

The voice outside the door was much lower: "Niangniang, it's the old slave Bi'an." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Bi." Concubine Seventy Jing had already heard the voice of the emperor's personal eunuch Bi An, and she was busy carrying the wooden stool with her feet, making the sound of just getting out of bed: "Manager Bi wait a while, someone, don't you open the door for Manager Bi!" ”

Li Qing had already changed into the palace maid's dress at this time, and hurriedly opened the door and invited Bi An to enter the door, Bi An had just stepped into the small hall, and gave Concubine Jing a look, signaling her to drive Li Qing away, Concubine Jing coughed and said to Li Qing: "Qing'er, go to the kitchen to urge, see why today's breakfast has not arrived." ”

Li Qing agreed, and Bi An leaned close to Concubine Jing's ear and said in a low voice: "Did Niangniang sleep well last night?" ”

Concubine Jing's heart moved, peach blossom eyes looked at Bi An, Bi An looked at Concubine Jing with a lewd smile, Concubine Jing knew that these Megan's things were the worst, and she couldn't afford to offend these people with how noble she was, so she smiled and said: "This palace is stupid, and I hope the chief manager will tell me directly." ”

"Hahaha......." Bi An let out a long laugh, bent down slightly, his nose almost rubbed against Concubine Jing's face, he lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday night, the emperor didn't know how to faint in the flowers outside the Niangniang Palace, fortunately the guards found it in time, otherwise I am afraid that the dragon has returned to heaven at this time, according to the private legend of the guards, the emperor seems to have seen something unclean and angry." Bi An said, staring at Concubine Jing without blinking, looking at her face, Rao is Concubine Jing was bold, and she couldn't help but lose her face at this time, no wonder Bi An asked her how she slept last night, could it be that the emperor saw the matter between herself and the four princes last night? !

No! Impossible, she arranged for her confidants to guard the door in advance, and all aspects were stopped, even the guards who kept vigil were taken away by Concubine Jing in advance, if the emperor really came to her Feng'e Courtyard, she wouldn't not know, Concubine Jing's mind turned, her face was red for a while and white for a while, and she asked: "But I don't know when you found out the emperor?" ”

"Why doesn't Niangniang care if the emperor is alive or dead at this time?" Bi An squinted at Concubine Jing and asked.
