Empress Yu smiled slightly.

The matter of establishing the prince was tacitly understood by the emperor and queen.

She tried her best to elevate the three princes, and Emperor Jianwen knew it in her heart. It's just that Emperor Jianwen has always preferred the Four Princes.

Emperor Jianwen's mind wavered, and he was undecided.

This year, everything is complicated, first Xishan was assassinated, and then the "six princesses" became the seven princes, and then the princes pointed to marriage. Lianxiang was favored, Concubine Duan fell out of favor, Concubine Mei entered the cold palace, Concubine Li was grounded, the four princes were reprimanded, and Empress Dowager Li was impeached......

The harem is turbulent, and it will never be peaceful again.

In fact, the past was not peaceful. It's just that many contradictions have been pressed under the appearance of harmony. Now, Queen Yu is no longer forbearing, and her wrists are becoming more and more aggressive. is the Empress Dowager Li, who is often so angry that she is scolded in Cining Palace.

Empress Yu is prosperous, and the rise of the three princes is inevitable.

The four princes seem to be not as holy as before, but they are actually powerful. The foreign family and the future Yue family are all famous families in the capital. In the battle for storage positions, it is not yet known who will win and who will lose.

"What the emperor said is very true." Empress Yu smiled gently: "The establishment of the prince is a major matter of the country, and it must be carefully considered." When the princes have received their own errands, they can see that each of them is capable. ”

After a pause, he said softly: "The concubine's thoughts are naturally not hidden from the emperor." ”

"All the princes are concubines, and although the concubines are their mothers-in-law, they are separated from them by one layer in the end. The biological mother of the third prince is a cousin of a concubine, so she is more close. Therefore, the concubines treated him more affectionately. ”

"It's just that the concubines never dare to sway the emperor and establish a prince because of this selfishness."

"No matter which prince the emperor chooses as the prince in the future, the concubines are all happy and happy for the emperor."

Empress Yu's expression was gentle and soft-spoken.

Emperor Jianwen stared at Empress Yu and said softly: "Lianniang, I am not old yet. There is one day that I am there, and there is one day when you are honored. My son is also your son. No matter who is appointed as the prince, they will be filial and love you. ”

Empress Yu curled the corners of her mouth, and her eyes showed tenderness: "The emperor's words have been written down by the concubines." ”

Emperor Jianwen stretched out his hand to hug Empress Yu, and Empress Yu snuggled up to Emperor Jianwen's chest, and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.

It's all the same as it used to be.

……

Half an hour later, Emperor Jianwen bathed and changed his clothes, and was served by lotus incense.

Empress Yu is used to sleeping alone.

The one on duty tonight is Zhilan.

Zhilansheng is gentle and beautiful, and her temperament is dignified. Among the palace maids, they are very outstanding.

Most of the palace maids came from humble backgrounds, but Zhilan was an exception. Her father, who was the prefect of Jiangzhou, was convicted of dereliction of duty, removed from his official position, and exiled thousands of miles.

Zhilan has been the daughter of an official family since she was a child and was carefully raised and raised. In the year of the sudden change in the family, Zhilan was only twelve years old, which was the age of the flower and the moon. His father was reluctant to make his daughter suffer, so he entrusted his former colleagues to take in Zhilan and sent her to the palace as a palace maid.

Zhilan was knowledgeable, intelligent and careful, and soon stood out among the palace maids and was selected by Empress Yu to be a personal female official. Because of his outstanding appearance and temperament and gentle temperament, there are many admirers in the palace.

Father-in-law Lu, whose eyes are above the top, is also secretly devoted to Zhilan.

Zhilan has never had the intention of pairing up with the waiter. Even if Gonggong Lu was a close confidant of Emperor Jianwen, Zhilan was unmoved. She knew that she was the daughter of a criminal minister, and it was a blessing to be able to enter the palace to serve Queen Yu for the palace maid. I just want to stay in the palace in peace, and ask to leave the palace after the age of forty......

Her peaceful life ended a year ago.

Empress Yu ordered someone to take her out of the palace.

She was led to a secluded house, and then met her parents, brothers, sisters, and nephews after a seven-year absence.

The family members have suffered at the border for several years, and they are all yellow-skinned and haggard. When they saw her, they wept bitterly. She also burst into tears.

After returning to the palace, she knelt in front of Empress Yu and said softly: "Thank you Niangniang for letting the slave and maid's family return to Beijing." From this day on, slaves and maids are at the mercy of their mothers. ”

……

After a year, Zhilan recalled the peaceful life in the past, and felt like a world away.

No matter what, she never regretted her choice.

"Niangniang, the bedding has been put away, and the slave maid waits for the mother to go to bed." Zhilan said softly.

Empress Yu hummed casually and sat on the bed: "Zhilan, there are no outsiders here, you sit here, and the palace will gossip with you." ”

The rules in the palace are strict.

Zhilan looked sincerely frightened: "The mother is very loving, and the slave maid should not refuse." It's just that it's really not polite......"

Empress Yu smiled faintly: "This palace asks you to sit down, but it's okay for you to sit." ”

Zhilan trembled and responded, sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes slightly lowered, and she didn't dare to look at Queen Yu.

Empress Yu was not reluctant, and asked in a low voice: "The emperor has been taking the Immortal Pill recently, but he has been taking two pills a day?" ”

Emperor Jianwen's secret taking of the Immortal Pill was also a very secret matter in the palace. Except for the imperial doctor and Gonggong Lu who offered medicine, only Empress Yu and Zhilan knew.

Zhilan calmed down and replied softly: "Since half a month ago, I have been taking two pills a day. ”

Father-in-law Lu is an internal servant, and he can only be regarded as half a man. After getting married, it was very good for Zhilan. Not to mention handing over the private money that has been saved for many years to Zhilan, the reward of Emperor Jianwen on weekdays, Gonggong Lu also gave Zhilan. No matter how big or small, nothing is hidden.

Emperor Jianwen lived in the Jiaofang Palace, and every word and deed was in the eyes of Queen Yu. Emperor Jianwen naturally wanted to hide the matter of taking medicine in private.

As everyone knows, Father-in-law Lu had already told Zhilan about this in private, and Zhilan quietly replied to Queen Yu.

Emperor Jianwen didn't know that Imperial Physician Zhao, who offered medicine, was also a person from Empress Yu.

Empress Yu's expression was faint, and she couldn't see the slightest emotion: "You privately told Gonggong Lu that in addition to offering immortal pills, you should prepare some more things for the emperor." ”

Zhilan responded in a low voice.

At first, Zhilan was shocked to hear such an order. Now, there is no longer the slightest bit of astonishment.

Zhilan also secretly wondered what the purpose of spending time with Queen Yu was, but the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Emperor Jianwen was so indulgent, Niangniang not only did not admonish, but added fuel to the fire.

Mother, what do you want?

……

"Zhilan, are you wondering why this palace is doing this?"

Empress Yu's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, as if she had insight into all the doubts and speculations in Zhilan's heart.

Zhilan was startled, and hurriedly got up and knelt down on the edge of the bed: "Niangniang Mingjian, the slave will never dare to speculate in vain!" ”

Empress Yu's gaze swept over Zhilan, who was slender and fair-skinned, and pulled the corners of her lips: "You can just do what you are told, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

After a pause, Empress Yu said again: "Your father is a criminal minister, and he can't enter the government again." Your brother has no chance of participating in the imperial examination. The palace has some private property, and it is not an insult to let their father and son be in charge. ”

Zhilan was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again to thank her: "Thank you Niangniang, the slave and maid thanked Niangniang for her grace on behalf of her father and brother." ”
