Su Youyi didn't speak from beginning to end, just listened silently.

Although Zhou Shoufu was biased towards Su Youyi in his heart, he was an old man who kept the ancients, and it was not easy to refute when he heard Jiang Su say this.

Su Qing finally stood up.

"The minister thought that the queen's talent was known to the whole dynasty. At the beginning, the emperor was seriously infected with the epidemic, and if it weren't for the queen's mother sitting in the palace, the court would have been chaotic. ”

He glanced at Jiang Su meaningfully, "Some people in the court are really suspicious and interfere in the affairs of the emperor and the prince everywhere, and they will inevitably be suspected of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes." The crown prince is young, the emperor is seriously ill, and the queen mother is there, so that the government and the opposition can feel at ease. ”

The eldest prince had just been named the crown prince, and he should have been modest and low-key and spoke less, but when it came to Su Youyi, he had to stand up and say a word for her.

"Back to my father, my sons and daughters also think the same. The sons are young and unfamiliar with political affairs, and they need the help of the queen mother. What's more, as we all know, sons and daughters were raised by their mothers when they were young, so where can they surpass their mothers in terms of talent? With the presence of the queen mother, the sons can rest assured. ”

The emperor and queen, who had not spoken, glanced at each other at this time and smiled.

The emperor said: "I already understand what you mean, since you all agree, then this matter is decided." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Jiang Su wanted to say something, but the emperor directly ignored his statement.

He was annoyed in his heart, and he didn't dare to anger the emperor in person.

Until he left the Qianqing Palace, he was so angry that his face was red, and when he walked, he was full of evil energy, so that people did not dare to approach.

Only Su Qing dared to walk over.

"Why is Master Hou so annoyed?"

Jiang Su heard Su Qing's voice, and glared at him angrily, "Heh, who am I, it turned out to be Master Su." Naturally, you are not annoyed, the queen has the right to assist in the management of the government, and there are a lot of benefits to your Lord Su, can you be annoyed? ”

Su Qing smiled and was not angry, "That being said, the eldest prince was named the crown prince, what else does the Hou Ye have to be upset about?" ”

Jiang Su snorted coldly, "The eldest prince is dedicated to the queen, who can't see it with a discerning eye?" ”

"That's it."

Su Qing looked ahead, then walked to the side and said: "Even if the emperor doesn't give the queen any power, the eldest prince is still closer to the queen mother, and the Hou Ye doesn't want to think about why?" ”

Jiang Su felt insulted.

He, the uncle of his in-laws, is not as good as Su Youyi, the palace maid who serves in the eyes of the eldest prince.

It's puzzling.

Fortunately, Su Qing quickly said: "Actually, Hou Ye doesn't have to be annoyed at all, in the final analysis, this is the emperor's counterbalance." The eldest prince is young, and it is inevitable that he will be controlled and used by others in the court. There are some checks and balances of power that the queen shares, which can not only make the prince more cautious, but also knock the courtiers, which is the emperor's intention. ”

Jiang Su was stunned after hearing this.

Thinking about it carefully, what Su Qing said made a lot of sense.

"Master Su, that Benhou wants to ask you......"

He was about to ask Su Qing something more, but when he looked up, Su Qing had already thrown his sleeves and walked away.

He cursed secretly.

……

The decree has been made, and the ceremony of the eldest prince being canonized as the crown prince was held just a month later.

As expected, it lives up to its name, and Su Youyi is really happy for him in her heart.

The eldest prince himself was a little uneasy, "My father loves my mother, and the five and six brothers born from my mother are also more loved by my father." This crown prince was originally ......"

"Don't say stupid things."

Su Youyi gently admonished him, "The emperor named you the crown prince, the name is justified, and everyone expects it." Your fifth brother and they are only because they are young that they can be loved by the emperor, which is nothing. You know, the crown prince is not something that the emperor can give to whoever he likes, you know? ”

The eldest prince said, "Isn't it? ”

Su Youyi shook her head, "Naturally not." Only the faint monarch will favor whoever is in the important position, regardless of whether it is suitable or not. The emperor is a Ming monarch, even if he likes other princes, but he will know who is the most suitable for the crown prince's position after weighing, do you understand? ”

The eldest prince nodded.

No matter how much happens, in Su Youyi's heart, the emperor can indeed afford the praise of Mingjun.

She smiled again: "Besides, didn't I tell the eldest princess last time?" The emperor is not as good as before, so he loves children a little more, in fact, the emperor's heart for you is the same as that of several little princes. ”

The eldest prince remembered what happened before, and he was a little embarrassed.

At that time, not only him, but also the second and third princes also felt that the emperor preferred the younger son, and they were a little jealous and angry.

Fortunately, several young princes were born by Su Youyi, even if they were jealous, they could only endure it in Su Youyi's face, but fortunately, Su Youyi later asked the eldest princess to tell them that.

When you think about it, it is.

In the past two years, the emperor's health has become worse and worse, and if it weren't for this, there would be no move to make a prince.

Su Youyi also warned the eldest prince about many things to deal with the government in the future, and it was very reasonable, the eldest prince was convinced, and when he left, he remembered something, and turned back to talk to her.

"The queen mother, please rest assured, the sons will also learn from their father, and will not give important positions to anyone because of what they prefer. Wei Yuanhou is not as good as Lao Su in terms of fame and talent, and his sons know it in their hearts. ”

Su Youyi was stunned for a moment, but smiled instead.

She didn't expect this to be what the eldest prince was thinking in his heart.

She smiled and touched the eldest prince's head, "Marquis Weiyuan is your uncle, even if you raise him, no one will dare to say anything." It's just that in the end, government is not a child's play, as long as you can think about whether he can do it or not when you promote him, I am already very happy. ”

The eldest prince is considerate of Su Youyi, and Su Youyi's words are also considerate of the eldest prince.

As the eldest prince grew up, the relationship between the two was no longer as close as when he was a child, but in the eldest prince's heart, Su Youyi was still like his mother to him.

Su Youyi gave birth to so many princes, but she still treats other princes without partiality, which is touching.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had gone back to the old days.

……

At the ceremony of establishing the crown prince, the emperor barely supported himself and put on a gorgeous costume to participate in the ceremony.

Su Youyi has been supporting her, watching the eldest prince dressed in bright yellow, walking slowly from the far steps, and his posture is not slow.

Her eyes were a little distracted, and she couldn't help whispering: "Looking at the prince, there is really a feeling that the years are unforgiving, so many years have passed." ”

The eldest prince has changed from a child who is about the same height as the table to a young and high-spirited prince today, with a body of honor that no one can match.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the upright figure of the eldest prince, and felt his decline and old age more and more.

He sat down on the golden dragon seat silently, and his hand unconsciously rubbed the armrest of the dragon seat, back and forth......
