Queen Shangguan originally felt that it was a little strange for Baili Huang to take such a fancy to a son who had not seen each other for twenty years, not to mention that the emperor also specially called her and some concubines in the palace who were not of low rank to come out to greet her. The emperor has long hated her because of Concubine Shu, not to mention standing with her all these years, even in her palace, he has long since stopped getting involved.

But for this, I haven't heard of any special Seven Princes. The emperor called her out, so solemn and grand, that she had to be suspicious - you must know that the mother of the seventh prince is just a concubine until she dies, if Bai Lihuang really cares so much about the seventh prince, even if Liang Concubine had no feelings during her lifetime, then after Liang Concubine died, for the sake of the Seven Princes, he should also give Liang Concubine a title to show his importance to Liang Concubine's mother and son. But after so many years of ignoring it, suddenly, people took it back, and they still loved it so much.

When the Seventh Prince asked her for peace according to the rules, Bai Lihuang subconsciously appeased Concubine Shugui's actions. It made her feel that the weirdness in her heart became more and more distinct.

This Seven Princes, I'm afraid it's not simple.

"The emperor rushed back from the palace all the way, it's very hard, hurry, follow my father into the palace to talk." Bai Lihuang looked at Chu Qianlan with a fatherly smile kindly, and nodded with satisfaction. While saying: "Your brothers, I have already made an order, I will enter the palace in a while, and you will meet them again."

Chu Qianlan lowered her head, her expression calm but detached, "Yes." ”

The tears in Concubine Shu's eyes were about to fall again, and she hurriedly pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then smiled: "The Seven Princes have grown so big, Sister Liang has knowledge underground, I don't know how much to comfort."

She was talking about how Concubine Liang would be comforted, obviously using Concubine Liang to tell Chu Qianlan how comforted she was at this time.

The queen said lightly: "Concubine Liang should be gratified, but this palace remembers." When Concubine Liang went, Concubine Shu hadn't entered the palace yet, right? However, seeing that Concubine Shu cares so much about His Majesty and Concubine Liang's children, the palace is also very pleased. ”

Concubine Shu lowered her head and lowered her eyes, looking humble and docile, "Niangniang is serious, my sister is also the mother of the children, and they are all His Majesty's children. ”

The Shangguan clan who stabbed this soft knife didn't know what to say - anyway, no matter how you speculated, I treated them the same way you treated them. Unless you admit for yourself that you are bad or prejudiced against His Majesty's children.

"Alright." Seeing that he still wanted to speak in the future, Baili Huang hurriedly interrupted majestically: "Xiao Qi's return is the biggest joy in the palace, and I ordered to go down, tonight the Liuli Palace will hold a banquet, I want to wash the dust for Xiao Qi, and have a good time with the civil and military officials." should also let them meet our Xiao Qi, otherwise in the future, they won't even know Xiao Qi, so don't make a big joke. ”

"That's what Your Majesty said." Concubine Shu smiled, but from time to time she secretly looked at Chu Qianlan, looking satisfied and relieved.

At the end of the welcome ceremony, naturally except for the favored concubine Shuguifei accompanying the car, the Shangguan clan led the self-aware concubine to retreat.

On the way back to Zhengyang Palace, the old lady who was holding Shangguan's family couldn't help but whisper: "Look at her pretentious motherly face. I don't know, but when the Seven Princes crawled out of her belly. The Seventh Prince greets you according to the rules, what is she sad about there? His Majesty also comforted her in public, which is really ......"

The expressionless Shangguan clan was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Crawled out of her stomach? Mama Huang, do you remember that when that slut disappeared, she seemed to be pregnant? ”

Mama Huang, who was complaining vigorously, was stunned, and gasped in disbelief: "Niangniang, do you suspect that the Seventh Prince is the one in Concubine Shugui's belly back then?" But how is this possible, others don't know where she disappeared, but we know, what do you think, which man can tolerate a woman's belly that is not his own? Besides, it's still the Great Chu Emperor! ”

Shangguan sneered, "What about the Great Chu Emperor, with that slut's means, are you afraid that you won't be able to coax a Great Chu Emperor?" ”

Mama Huang nodded again and again, and agreed: "What you said is also true, but the Seventh Prince is indeed from Concubine Liang, and he has indeed been recuperating in the palace...... We have no way to prove that this is not the seventh prince of Concubine Liang! ”

was sent to the palace at such a young age, but I am afraid that Concubine Liang is not dead, and it is difficult to recognize it after 20 years.

"Who has seen what the Seven Princes are like over the years? If you want to play a trick of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix, and your majesty cooperates with her, what's so difficult? The corners of Shangguan's eyebrows and eyes were cold, "If this palace guesses well, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Seventh Prince will be recorded in the name of Concubine Shu and become her nominal son." ”

"It can't be." Mama Huang hesitated and said, "You have never had a step-prince under your knees, how dare she cross you, isn't she afraid that the world will poke her backbone?" You don't ...... anymore That's still the queen of the kingdom of Ryu! ”

According to her usual virtuous name, she naturally did not dare to cross the palace. So before that, Your Majesty will first arrange a prince for the palace, and in your opinion, who will Your Majesty arrange for the palace? ”

"The biological mother of the eldest prince is still there, and it is impossible. Although the biological mother of the third prince was from a humble background, she is still alive now, and the biological mother of the fourth prince is in the position of concubine, which is impossible, so there is still ...... The Eighth Prince? Mama Huang's eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't stop inhaling the cool air: "No, that Eighth Prince is a fool...... How can you let him come to your knees, this is to make the world laugh at you! ”

Mama Huang's hands trembled, and she comforted herself in disbelief: "It shouldn't be, Your Majesty won't be ruthless to this point." On the private number.

Shangguan let out a silent sigh.

If it weren't for the desperation, how could he treat her like this?

"Will or no, let's keep our eyes open and wait and see." Shangguan said lightly.

……

When there were only Bailihuang, Shuguifei and Chu Qianlan left in the hall, Shuguifei seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, tears broke out, trembling lips stepped forward, and reached out to caress Chu Qianlan's face, "Emperor, after so many years, the mother concubine is finally ...... See you again at last! ”

Chu Qianlan frowned, avoided her hand, swept her cold eyes coldly over her hand that was embarrassed to stay in mid-air, pursed her lips, and looked at her expressionlessly.

Such sharp and merciless eyes seemed to look into her heart.

"Emperor!" Concubine Shu seemed to have been hit hard, she screamed sadly, tears rolled out, and she looked at Chu Qianlan's face in a daze, "I'm my mother!" Have you forgotten everything? I...... You were five years old when I left, you should remember me, Emperor, you remember me, right? ”

"Mother?" Chu Qianlan hooked her lips sneeringly, "Yes, this king still remembers." The father has been waiting for the mother concubine to go back to reunite with him, and I don't know when the mother concubine plans to leave for Dachu? In recent years, my father has missed his mother so much that he has become ill, and now his health is not as good as before, doesn't his mother want to go back to see him? ”

"Emperor!" Concubine Shu was stunned and couldn't help herself, grabbed her chest with one hand, and grabbed Bai Lihuang who came to help her with the other, her face showed a look of pain, shock and despair.

"Presumptuous!" Bai Lihuang sank his face, "How did you talk to your mother?" You remember it to me, you are my son, born to me and your mother, and you have nothing to do with Emperor Chu! ”

"It doesn't matter at all?" Chu Qianlan smiled coldly, with the idea of not being angry and not being angry, she raised her eyebrows, and she looked like an immodest ruffian: "What the lord of the country said is not right, the one who has given this king to eat, this king to drink, and this king to marry his daughter-in-law over the years is my father of Da Chu." The lord of the country wants to pick up such a big bargain for no reason, and it's really not a shame. ”

"Emperor, don't talk about it!" Seeing that Bai Lihuang's face became more and more gloomy, Concubine Shu hurriedly cried and persuaded her, "I know that you resent your mother in your heart, and hate me for leaving you and leaving Dachu back then." But the emperor, the mother concubine is in a difficult situation......"

"Yes, of course you have a hard time, but what does that have to do with this king?" Chu Qianlan interrupted her impatiently, "Don't take out the old things and be embarrassed, just talk about the matter, you used the emperor's divine doctor to force this king to have to pretend to admit the identity of the seventh prince of the Ryuk Kingdom, what do you want this king to do for you?" ”

Concubine Shu staggered on her feet, as if she couldn't stand steadily, "Emperor, why do you hate your mother so much?" What imperial doctor, what persecuts you? How can the mother concubine be willing to persecute you, the mother concubine just wants to recognize you, you are my child, the mother concubine just wants to live happily with you and your father and sister and the family! ”

When Chu Qianlan said that the emperor's divine doctor was coming, Bai Lihuang's brows furrowed in confusion, but a few words of denial from Concubine Shu dispelled his suspicions. "Emperor, what happened back then, no wonder your mother and concubine, they are all my ......"

To admit that he is wrong, it is obviously not easy for an emperor. But for the tears of his beloved woman, Bai Lihuang still stubbornly said: "Back then, it was because I didn't have the ability to protect your mother and son that I let you be kidnapped by strongmen and exiled to Dachu. In those years, in order to protect you, your mother had to pretend to be committed to Emperor Chu, do you know all this? ”

"Ahh Chu Qianlan let out a long sigh, "So that's the case, it's really touching." ”

This rhetoric may still work if it is used to coax a three-year-old. If she was really protecting him with her life, how could she leave him at the last moment without looking back?

Bai Lihuang looked at his smiling expression, and he wasn't sure what he was thinking: "Now you also know that your mother didn't deliberately leave you alone, your father and mother owe you for so many years, and they will definitely compensate you well in the future!"

"What's the compensation law?" Chu Qianlan pulled the corners of her mouth and asked: "King Feng Ben will be the crown prince of the Ryuk Kingdom, and after you die, the lord of the Lau Kingdom will let the king do it?" -~%%No pop-up?@++

"Smack!"

With this crisp slap, the hall of only three people immediately fell into an eerie silence.

Chu Qianlan slowly turned her face back, pushed the tip of her tongue against the broken inner wall of her mouth, took out a towel casually, and spit out the blood foam in her mouth.

Concubine Shu watched with tears in her eyes as he threw the blood-stained handkerchief at her feet, her whole body trembled, and she looked at her hand that was still frozen in the air in disbelief, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, "No, no...... Emperor, the mother doesn't want to hit you! ”

As she spoke, she struggled to break free from Bai Lihuang's support, and rushed towards Chu Qianlan, crying anxiously and in a panic and blaming herself: "Let the mother concubine take a look, is it hurt?" It's all the mother's concubine who is not good, the mother's concubine shouldn't beat you, but the emperor ...... I can't say those rebellious words just now, do you remember it? ”

After speaking, he turned his head with tears in his eyes and begged Bai Lihuang, who had an ugly face: "Your Majesty, the emperor is still angry in his heart, so he will say such a rebellious word, you must not take it to heart, don't worry about him, please."

Looking at her mournful look, Bai Lihuang's face softened slightly, and he looked at Chu Qianlan, who looked like a ruffian scoundrel, and sneered: "If you want to be the prince, if you want to be the lord of this Lu country, you don't have the slightest ability, but I really gave it to you, and you can sit firmly?" If you are truly capable, why should I give you this throne? ”
