Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Emperor's Intentions
Thinking of her worries during this time, it happened that her mother came back, and in her opinion, this was an opportunity.
If the emperor's uncle was really unwell, he might hide it from others, but it was impossible to hide it from his mother.
She made up her mind, so she spoke: "Mother must have not had time to enter the palace to visit the imperial uncle when she came back. Recently, the emperor's uncle has quit the court three times, and I don't know if he is not feeling well. ”
As soon as she heard that it was about her imperial brother, the eldest princess's whole face changed, and there was worry in her eyes that couldn't be hidden: "Really? Did the imperial doctor in the palace say what the problem was?! ”
I have to admit that at this moment, she is jealous of her uncle. Because her mother's reaction proved that in her heart, the most important thing was the imperial uncle, not her daughter.
Even if she was jealous in her heart, her worries about the emperor's uncle were not fake, she shook her head: "It is the wind and cold to the outside world, but I don't think it is very similar, I think it was also ordered by the emperor's uncle not to let the palace people show the news." ”
The eldest princess turned the hand of the Buddha bead and paused slightly: "I know, I will enter the palace to see Your Majesty's situation in a while." ”
She asked instead, "How are you getting along with the prince during this time?!" ”
"Back to the mother, the daughter and His Royal Highness are like sisters and brothers." Xiao Han replied.
She didn't know what kind of answer her mother was looking for when she asked. But she felt that this was the most appropriate answer.
The eldest princess nodded: "That's very good." ”
After that, there was no communication between the mother and daughter, and after sitting for a while, Xiao Han got up and left first.
After she left, Qingtan, the palace maid beside Princess Fushou, couldn't help but say, "Princess, you are obviously worried about the county lord, why don't you tell the county lord?" ”
Looking at the back of her daughter's departure, the eldest princess kept turning the Buddha beads in her hand, "This palace and her have not seen each other for more than ten years, and the 'family affection' between each other is weak, which is a reality that cannot be changed." Moreover, Hongu is powerless to change anything. ”
Qingtan was a little anxious: "You can mention a few words to the county lord, so that the county lord has a little bottom in his heart." ”
"Qingtan, there are some things that we can't change!" The eldest princess of Fushou said solemnly.
Knowing what his master meant, Qingtan didn't dare to say anything more no matter how worried he was.
Subsequently, the eldest princess took the four palace maids directly into the palace. Xiao Han's words still caused her to worry.
She was one of the very few people who knew that the emperor had a physical problem, so Xiao Han's words just now made her so nervous.
When the eldest princess entered the palace, she was just in time for the emperor to go down to the court, and she was reviewing the folds in the imperial study.
In the palace, no matter where the eldest princess wants to go, she is unimpeded, which is a privilege that even the queen does not have.
Entering the imperial study unimpeded, Emperor Wu An, who was reviewing the folds, was surprised when he saw the eldest princess who suddenly appeared: "Imperial sister, you are back!" ”
Gonggong Liu was very discerning and asked the palace people to step down, so that the two sisters and brothers could catch up with the old days.
I have always remembered his body in my heart, and the eldest princess didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "I heard that the imperial brother has been unwell recently, you tell me the truth, how is your body!" ”
Even if he could deceive others, he could never hide from his sister, Emperor Wu An smiled bitterly: "Imperial sister, I don't have much time..."
Hearing this news, the eldest princess was like a lightning strike: "How come, I wasn't still fine before I left, how could it suddenly deteriorate?" ”
Compared with the eldest princess who was difficult to accept, Emperor Wu An was much calmer: "Imperial sister, you know, I have been blessed by my ancestors to live until now." At least, I still have two years to arrange things behind me, so that the prince and them will not be at a loss. ”
After forcing herself to calm down, sensing the meaning of her brother's words, the eldest princess asked, "Could it be that the prince has changed his sex?" Otherwise, how can you rest assured that the government will be in his hands. ”
Xiao Qi's appearance of a 'gentleman' is well-known in the entire capital, no matter how deep she is, it is impossible not to know.
What's more, she lives in the palace for a period of time every year, and the discussions among the palace people can be heard somewhat.
"Sister Huang, I plan to let Pingle enter the court as an official." Emperor Wu An said suddenly.
The eldest princess was a little surprised: "Didn't you just say that you just let Pingle be the prince's attendant and help the prince change his temperament?" Why did you still make trouble to become an official in the court, I'm afraid that the hundreds of officials in the court will not agree! ”
Unlike the eldest princess who was full of worries, Emperor Wu An was very optimistic about his niece: "Imperial sister, Pingle is very talented in politics. ”
Princess Fushou knew her only royal brother very well, she could almost be regarded as watching him grow up, and when he said this, she already understood what he meant.
"Your Majesty wants to make Pingle a sword to protect the crown prince?" The eldest princess couldn't help but raise her voice.
Emperor Wu An shook his head: "Imperial sister, Pingle is your daughter, and in the three years since she was born, I have watched her grow up." In my heart, Pingle is no different from my own daughter. Do you think for the sake of a prince, I will let Pingle get in? ”
These words shocked the eldest princess, and her expression was extremely surprised, she never expected that in the heart of the imperial brother, the prince could not even compare to Pingle.
An impossible possibility suddenly appeared in her mind, and seeing her imperial sister's expression, Emperor Wu An understood what her imperial sister was thinking.
"Do you want Pingle to 'listen to politics'?" The eldest princess finally asked what she thought.
"That's right, I have the plan. The prince's character is inferior and cowardly, and he is a little clever, but it is difficult to become a big weapon in the end.
Although Pingle is a little arrogant, she is decisive, knows how to make trade-offs, and most importantly, knows how to hibernate when the situation is not in her favor.
Judging from the current situation between the DPRK and China, I think Pingle is more suitable. Emperor Wu An said his thoughts one by one.
But the eldest princess obviously found it difficult to accept: "Pingle is just a girl, according to her current age, she should find a suitable colt to get married and have children." ”
Emperor Wu An said lightly: "If Pingle doesn't pass the test at the beginning, I will find a suitable horse for her, so that she will be rich and prosperous for the rest of her life."
However, she passed, and she did a decent job.
Sister Huang, do you know, now our Xiao family is a lamb to be slaughtered, and if there is a slight difference, the Xiao family's country will be buried.
I didn't want Pingle to get involved, but I didn't have a choice, and Pingle, as a member of the Xiao family, also had no choice! ”
As if he understood that what he said was a bit excessive, Emperor Wu An reassured: "Besides, our Xiao family already has a precedent for female regents, although Pingle is not a princess under my name, but I have a way to make her rightful!" ”
