There are some words that can be lived when hidden in the heart, but when they are spoken, they are dead.

Meng Xilan secretly exerted force, clenched her son's hand, and looked into his eyes for a moment: "Your marriage must be set as soon as possible, for the sake of stability in the court, you have to marry a woman, which may not be your favorite, nor may it be the queen mother's favorite." However, as long as her maiden family can maneuver for you behind your back, then she is the best choice. ”

Political marriage has always been the supremacy of interests.

After Zhou Youchen saw the deep gaze of the queen mother, he nodded silently, he knew what she meant.

in their place. As the crown prince, there are too many things he can't choose. It is also something that he cannot object. He was destined to have many women in his life, perhaps more than his father. However, these people may not be the ones he really likes. He was destined to kill many people in his life, perhaps more ruthlessly than his father's methods, but not necessarily all of these people were the most heinous people.

A lot of last resort, a lot of grievances, a lot of ruthlessness and helplessness, only then did he support his position today.

He will never forget the arrogance and ruthlessness of his father and queen mother in the midst of danger. will not forget the shame of the queen mother who committed herself to Chu Jingchuan in order to give herself a glimmer of life!

His resentment towards his father, his shame for his mother, his hatred for himself, and his carefree love.

These things will remain in his heart forever and will stay with him for the rest of his life.

"You are everything to the queen mother, and the queen mother will let you get everything in this world."

Meng Xilan said in a quiet tone: "So, are you ready?" ”

It's not an easy road, but they have to go.

Changsheng nodded heavily, since he hugged the thin body of the queen mother. "Queen Mother, your sons will never betray you."

Meng Xilan had no doubt about this, and even if he lost his words, she had no complaints.

Changsheng left Cining Palace with a heavy heart, recaptured the capital, and recaptured the palace, but so what, everything could not return to the way it was before.

As his mind fluctuated, his eyes began to become extremely complicated.

Shen Dan came with tea, and a few steps away, looking at the prince's gloomy and uncertain face, he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart.

"Your Highness, the hour is getting short."

She hesitated for a moment, then walked over, her steps as gentle as a feather.

Changsheng just let out a "hmm" when he heard this.

Shen Dan stood behind him, looking at his back, and after a long time, she slowly stretched out her arm and hugged his back.

She pressed her cheek against his back and whispered, "Slave daring...... I also hope that His Highness will atone for his sins. ”

In fact, she has wanted to do this for a long time, but she has never had the right opportunity.

Changsheng did not move and did not speak.

His gaze was still in the distance, and after a long time, he said, "You stay with me tonight." ”

Shen Dan hugged him a little tighter when he heard this, and nodded slightly. "The slave and maid will keep vigil for His Highness tonight."

As soon as her words fell, Changsheng took her hand and shook her fingers.

"I didn't mean that."

Shen Dan was slightly stunned when she heard this, as if she was startled, she slowly let go of his hand and his body.

"Your Highness......"

Changsheng heard the hesitation in her tone, turned to look at her, slender fingers lingering on her cheeks: "What? You don't want to? ”

Shen Dan immediately shook his head.

She had long since been regarded by herself as a person of His Highness, although they had not yet had a true skin-to-skin relationship.

"The slave is just worried......" she stopped talking again, her worry a little unspeakable.

The long long arm stretched out, grabbed her waist, and brought her to himself. "I'm probably going to get married soon. Don't you believe in the woman who became the first woman in my life? ”

Shen Dan's pupils shook, he held his breath slightly, and nodded lightly: "The slave is willing." ”

It was her greatest luck to be his first woman.

The nights in the depths of winter, cold and long, are the most suitable for two people to snuggle up to each other to keep warm.

Shen Dan felt like a dream, a dream full of restraint and warmth. Maybe it was too good, but when it was over, she suddenly felt scared in her heart. She was curled up in the quilt, beside Her Highness, who had already fallen asleep, and he was beside her, and the temperature of the skin contact between the two was still there, but she was still uneasy......

What else can she give His Highness besides this body? She has no illustrious origin, no outstanding ability, only a slightly beautiful body, and a loyal heart. But what's the use of that? What will she do when Her Highness is tired of her body and no longer trusts her faithfulness?

This mood of suffering from gains and losses made her confused and uneasy, and even difficult to breathe.

Just as she was biting the quilt and didn't know what to do, Changsheng suddenly hugged her from behind.

Her whole body stiffened, and she didn't dare to move.

Suddenly, Changsheng held the hand she put on his chest and said lightly, "Don't worry. ”

Shen Dan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to guess his thoughts.

Changsheng closed his eyes and frowned slightly: "Maybe one day, I will become as affectionate as my father." But don't worry, when I do become like that, you won't like me anymore. ”

Shen Dan shook his head: "No." ”

Changsheng's nose pressed against her hair, and he smiled softly, "No, you will." ”

Once upon a time, his father was the most affectionate and dedicated person in his eyes. He can be cold to the three thousand beauties of the harem for the sake of the queen mother, and in his memory, there has never been a woman in the palace who can compete with the queen mother for favor. His father has favored his mother for so many years, this used to be the place where he respected his father the most, he was so dedicated, loved his mother so much, and devoted himself......

What was once good has become evil now. Who could have predicted?

Changsheng hugged Shen Dan tightly and sighed deeply.

Shen Dan didn't seem to understand, but because of his appeasement, he no longer thought nonsense.

After one night, it was dawn.

Last night's incident, Xiao Chunzi reported it to Meng Xilan one by one.

Meng Xilan found the jewel and asked her if she had left Jiao Changqing's prescription.

Baozhu nodded, and took out all the prescriptions that Jiao Changqing had used to diagnose the pulse of the master.

Meng Xilan didn't look at it in person, but said, "Find the one that sent the soup." ”

Baozhu was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, this medicine hurts the body." ”

Meng Xilan ordered: "This palace doesn't need it, it's for Shen Dan." She had sex with the prince last night. ”

Baozhu was stunned again, and then nodded again and again: "The slave will go and prepare." ”

Shen Dan was very smart, and without waiting for Meng Xilan to order someone to go over, he came to Cining Palace first.

Meng Xilan only gave her a bowl of medicine, and she didn't say a word of extra words.

With a resolute expression, Shen Dan drank the decoction in front of her, kowtowed and thanked him, and then returned to the prince's side as if nothing had happened.

Ayina didn't follow Changsheng like she did yesterday today, but deliberately stayed by Meng Xilan's side and talked to her.

After living in the palace for only one day, she learned a lot of rules, and when she saw Meng Xilan, she would salute and call her "Queen Mother".

Meng Xilan asked her to be casual, but she didn't follow.

"Niangniang, you are the mother of the immortal brother, I want to respect you."

She said it clearly, and there was something in her words.

Because she is the mother of immortality, she will respect. But she is still the queen of Beiyan, isn't that the most important reason?

Meng Xilan looked at her with a smile: "You kid is different from others. You are very special, very lively, different from the children in the palace. ”

Ayina looked at her with a smile when she heard this: "Really? Then Niangniang, you say, will he like me, brother Changsheng? ”

This was asked again, which made Meng Xilan slightly surprised.

The smile on her face remained undiminished, and she continued to ask, "What, do you want Changsheng to like you?" Or do you like immortality? ”

Ayina lowered her head, her cheeks crimson: "I like Brother Changsheng." I liked him from the first time I saw him. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall changed their faces.

Gao Fuli deliberately cleared his throat, deliberately reminding her of her recklessness.

The expression on Aina's face was a little shy, but her eyes were sparkling, revealing a concentration that was bound to be won. "Brother Changsheng still doesn't like me, but I'll make him like me."

Meng Xilan just laughed and didn't say anything when she heard this.

Nowadays, there are not many places to play and see in the palace. Meng Xilan thought about it carefully, and asked Baozhu to take her to the courtyard to enjoy the snow. After all, snow is still rare with them.

Gao Fuli accompanied the master to speak: "This girl is young, but her ambition is not small. ”

Meng Xilan sighed softly: "Maybe it's ambition, maybe it's bravery." ”

Gao Fuli asked again: "What are you going to do about the prince's marriage?" ”

Meng Xilan's eyes suddenly sank: "The prince's marriage, this palace alone can't be the master, and the emperor has to decide." ”

Her relationship with Zhou Youchen has reached the most sensitive period. Now, the only person who can maintain their apparent peace is the crown prince.

Zhou Youchen has never touched her since that night, nor has he come to Cining Palace.

Gao Fuli was silent for a moment before he said: "If the emperor insists on going his own way and chooses a little biased, what should we do?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly: "Not yet." The emperor is currently busy gathering the ministers, appeasing people's hearts, and rebuilding the prosperity and order of the capital, so he just knows the prince's marriage. ”

When Gao Welfare heard this, he knew that the master was clear in his heart.

"Old man Meng injured the early dynasty today, and I heard that the emperor entrusted him with a heavy responsibility."

Meng Xilan sneered: "What kind of responsibility...... It is estimated that it was a drudgery that others were unwilling to do, so he handed it over to the Meng family. ”

It's ridiculous to think about it, Zhou Youchen obviously has doubts about her, but he has to entrust the Meng family with a heavy responsibility. Because most of the civil and military generals in the court now have a grudge against him.

The ministers were disappointed by his repeated mistakes, and the generals were ruthless and chilled by his turnaround. Looking around, how many people are available around him?

In addition to the Meng family, it is still the Meng family.

"Mother, the right to grasp in your hands is useful. After all, we still have time. ”

Meng Xilan still shook her head: "Xiao Lizi, you are wrong. We may have everything, but we don't have the time. ”

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this is their real situation now.

"The minions' subordinates outside the palace have all been deployed. There is a slight disturbance outside, and the slave will definitely report to the mother. ”

Meng Xilan nodded approvingly: "You always make this palace feel at ease." ”

I really didn't expect that they had just gotten out of the chaos created by Chu Jingchuan, but now they had to maneuver and plan in order to keep their position, and win every step of the way.

In the courtyard, Ayina was laughing and joking with the little palace maids, and Meng Xilan hadn't heard such laughter for a long time...... And, for her now, the laughter was harsh.
