The sky was getting dark, and the entire imperial city was brightly lit from afar, like day, and the evening breeze swept against the ground, blowing away the heat of the hall.

The concubine sat for a long time, her face was always so difficult to describe, looking at the table full of dishes, a pair of beautiful eyes showed a trace of sadness, only a moment later, she was firm.

The palace maids waiting in the side hall stood up straight, their chins against their necks one by one, their faces timid, and a dense layer of fine sweat had already appeared on their backs...

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"No courtesy."

The crown prince stood outside the door and looked at the concubine, feeling bitter in his heart, when did his high-ranking mother become like this... When the sound of the salute sounded, the concubine raised her head and smiled at the prince who was approaching, only pretending that nothing had happened.

"Why are you still in the palace at this hour? Have you had a meal? ”

"No, just with my mother."

The prince said and sat next to the concubine, but the main seat was empty, the concubine waved her hand to signal that she was not busy, and sent all the palace maids in the palace out, and personally brought the dishes and chopsticks on the other side for the prince, which was supposed to be prepared for the emperor.

"Taste, this dish was made by the concubine herself."

"Mother Xie, Erchen thinks it's very delicious."

The prince stuffed a large piece of venison into his mouth, nodded incessantly, and was looked at by the concubine with disgust, but the concubine didn't want to nag about those court etiquette at this time, she seemed to be frozen in the palace for days, making people feel cold in her heart, and she hadn't been so warm for a long time.

The prince was silent for a long time with the meal, he stayed late with a few courtiers in the imperial study today, and when he came out, he happened to meet the eunuch in the palace of the concubine, and he went to invite the emperor to come over and have dinner together, but he was rejected by the high father-in-law outside the door...

"By the way, didn't Haoyue Kingdom send a lot of good red ginseng before, you have to remember to bring it back to Shunying."

"Mother!"

The prince's action of picking up the vegetables paused, and he looked at the concubine angrily, but the concubine's face was unswerving, and the prince knew that he couldn't resist her, so he had to nod, and the prince had nothing to say to the princess, but when it came to the heirs and the like, the prince didn't want the princess to be too troubled.

The concubine glanced at the prince distressedly, the children in this palace are especially treasured, the prince's journey is not smooth, and none of the women around him can satisfy the concubine, especially Ye Ruying, who was just acting in front of He Qiaorong yesterday, the concubine remembered the inaccurate information provided by Ye Ruying, and she couldn't wait to scold her!

"Have you thought of the child's name? Or if you have time in the next few days, you can go to Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and ask him to think of a few good ones in person. ”

"Got it."

The concubine smiled, the prince has always been deferential to the emperor and the concubine, think about it, if the prince is so old and has anything to disobey the elders, it is probably because of a party who woke up, when he was a child, the concubine persuaded him every day, he didn't listen, he had to withdraw from the marriage, now it's okay, the concubine wants to deal with Fang Xing, and the prince sings the opposite tune again..

The concubine suddenly remembered that when the prince was a child, compared to a few brothers, he didn't have anything extremely outstanding, but there were a few others, Bai Yumo was talented in urinating, and he was the most likable, Bai Yuheng was like a jade and gold, Bai Yuqi was even more clever, and even Bai Yuyang was very well-behaved and lively, which was endearing.

Everyone thought that the crown prince was canonized in the East Palace early in the morning, and he should be the emperor's proudest and most favored son, but in fact, it was not at all!

That year, the emperor was seriously ill, and the emperor and several of his brothers at that time fought to the death of the net, and finally Zhou Guogong defected, on the condition that his daughter would be the queen in the future! Later, after the emperor ascended the throne and was busy pacifying the government and postponing the establishment, the concubine took the initiative to retire, and naturally there were conditions, that is, Bai Yuchen's crown prince...

Of course, the concubine is not as powerful as Zhou Guogong, the emperor never agreed, or Zhou Guogong went out and contacted the courtiers to play in turn, and the concubine used some means, plus the situation on Bai Yuqi's mother's side made it worse, and the emperor finally decided that the prince of the East Palace was Bai Yuchen.

Later, it was a struggle with the Hu family behind Bai Yuqi, the concubine needed more help, and naturally targeted Fang Xing, who was only three years old at the time, not only for Ye Fanzhi's former position, but also for the Su family, Ye Fanzhi was the first to publicly express his support for the East Palace.

"Mother... Recently, when the ministers saw you, they always summoned the daughter of the He family, if it was for the sake of cultivating the younger brother, it was really unnecessary! ”

"Your imperial uncle is in charge of the northern border, such a big force, if you don't hold it in your hands, what will you do in the future?"

The smile on the concubine's face sank, put down the chopsticks and stared at the prince solemnly, the concubine knew that the prince would definitely mention this matter, she couldn't watch the prince fall deeper and deeper, it was better to correct it in time.

"Not to mention how to hold the rights of the imperial uncle with a daughter of the He family, the younger brother himself is a stubborn person, the younger brother he looks naughty, but his heart is very delicate, even if the imperial uncle arranges for him to have a princess, he may accept it, but he will hate this matter for the rest of his life, let alone us!"

"This... It is also reasonable to say, the mother concubine is just pushing the boat down the river, and whether she can become a mother concubine is not forced. ”

The concubine suddenly loosened her tone, which surprised the prince, and he also tried to consider this matter from the perspective of the concubine, it seems that he was thinking too much... It's just that the concubine really understands that she really wants to hold the Anbei Palace, a He Yiyi is almost the same, He Qiaorong, look at her own creation.

"As for Fang Xing.."

"This is not negotiable!"

The concubine raised her eyes and her tone was undoubted, the concubine did not ask the prince to understand her dedication to this matter, but hoped that he would understand his hard work, maybe there were some grievances and grievances entangled, but Fang Xing, he must not let go!

"Mother, Fang Xing and the Su family are very important in the heart of the father, don't take care of the sons, think about the relationship with the father, do you have to hurt the feelings for many years for this matter?"

"Your father and the emperor have hurt the feelings of your mother and concubine for the sake of a party! If he treats Fang Xing as a princess so much, the mother concubine will not be anything, but do you think, Hou Ye, General Su, Su Zang, this is enough to make us guard, General Lin accepted Fang Xing's grace, Xiu'er and the other party woke up and obeyed, what is the attitude of the other party in the Ministry of War, and what is the attitude of Yu Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites! Even the slippery Jing Zhaoyin respects Fang Xing, far beyond you, the prince of the East Palace! ”

The concubine took a breath silently, thinking about it so that even she was startled, the emperor praised Fang Xing so much that he almost trampled the prince under his feet, so even if she broke off her relationship with the emperor, the concubine would fight to the end.

The crown prince sighed, the concubine thought about it, how could he not think of it, but the source of all this is indeed the emperor, the concubine made the emperor unhappy, isn't it even more counterproductive, the emperor began to be indifferent to the concubine, it was long before the Wanshou Festival, the concubine lost her mind and quarreled with the emperor.. Step by step like this, won't it push the emperor farther and farther!

"But Fang Xing is just a woman, those courtiers have inherited Fang Xing's kindness and remember it in their hearts, which shows that their virtue is correct, and the Su family does not have the slightest dissent, the mother concubine should understand!"

"And what about the future? Fang Xing has become Hao'er's teacher, or after you have a day, she has a contrary opinion with you, most of the courtiers listen to her, aren't you worried? ”

At the end, the concubine's voice trembled slightly, as if just imagining that scene made her afraid!

The prince smiled bitterly, if he didn't reply to the concubine for a long time, it wasn't that he was disrespectful, he didn't believe that the emperor would suddenly pass the throne to Bai Yuhao until he died, as for what the concubine was worried about, since Fang Xing came back when he came back, he often went against the prince, and it was all people who didn't offend her, and she didn't offend people.

"Mother, please believe in Erchen, Erchen has this ability!"

"The concubine naturally believes in you, but she definitely can't believe it."

The concubine grabbed the prince's wrist and took the trouble to persuade her, she didn't want to hurt Fang Xing, she just wanted to break down the forces behind her, if the nursery rhyme really married Bai Yuxiu and had an heir, Fang Xing combined with Lin Qinghuan again, then the future envisioned by the concubine was really not far away.

"Prince, you listen to the concubine, let's bite Fang Xing's marriage contract! Definitely.."

"What does the concubine think? Actually want to marry Fang Xing to King Mo, the hundred-legged insect dies without stiffening, Fang Xing and King Mo are really a threat! ”

The prince was so angry that he had no choice, so he settled down and continued to comb, to King Mo, the prince would never relax his vigilance, but when the other party woke up, the prince hoped that she would not really get involved, choose Lin Qinghuan, and live a life like a fairy couple, isn't it?

"It's better to marry King Mo than to marry the Lin family, and yesterday, Lord Lin asked someone to convey that as long as the palace and him will settle Fang Xing's marriage, the Lin family will be loyal to the East Palace!"

"What?"

The prince's heart fluctuated, he never expected that Mr. Lin would do such a thing, and when he came back to his senses, he intuitively felt that the concubine's recent IQ was really not online, so easily he was swayed by Mr. Lin, the prince ascended the throne and became the new emperor, and the Lin family was not loyal to him, so who should he be loyal to?

"Mother you.."

"Prince! The concubine commands you to obey and not to disobey. ”

The concubine grabbed the prince's wrist to death, the prince didn't answer, and shook his head after a long time, so far, the concubine and him have nothing to say, the meal ended hastily, the concubine was very anxious but could only watch the prince leave, and her hatred for Fang Xing naturally deepened.

How could the prince not understand what the concubine meant, she wanted to use Lord Lin in turn, completely split Fang Xing from the Lin family, and then tied up with the Mo Wangfu, which had no intention of harming her, became a slightly risky killing two birds with one stone, and eradicating Fang Xing and the Mo Wangfu together!

The prince felt that the air in the dark night was full of bloody astringency, he was no longer the prince who needed the concubine to teach him to walk, he had his own thinking, the city government, and the determination to bring a stable road for Fang Xing!
