"If you want to know anything in the future, just ask, don't worry about being suspected of being a spy."

After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he closed the door again.

Ling Han only felt a warmth in his heart, and it was as sweet as drinking a big bowl of honey water in an instant.

It turns out that the feeling of being trusted by the people you care about is so beautiful.

He secretly swore in his heart: as long as she is willing to believe in him, she is willing to let him stay by her side.

Even if he is asked to go to the soup for her, he will not hesitate!

"The concubine has arrived."

Yingshou saw Concubine Ling coming, and hurriedly saluted: "See Concubine Ling." ”

Ling Han hurriedly followed Yingshou to salute, and when Concubine Ling saw Ling Han's appearance, she always felt that this child's eyebrows and eyes were a little familiar.

"Let's be flat." Concubine Ling sighed slightly, "Ning Yuan, this child ran out secretly, and I didn't know that I was the mother concubine." ”

"Niangniang, the princess is because of ......" Yingshou quickly explained.

"Mother." Ning Yuan opened the door and threw herself into Concubine Ling's arms, her tone sad and sad.

"Mother, the child doesn't want to get married, can you help me?"

"Silly boy." Concubine Ling took Ning Yuan's hand and said, "If you don't want to marry Chen Yu, the son of the general, the mother concubine will help you mediate, why bother leaving the palace without telling you?" ”

With tears in her eyes, Ning Yuan lowered her head and choked up: "It's the child who is willful." ”

Concubine Ling waved her hand and motioned for Ling Han and Yingshou to go down, she had something to say to Ning Yuan alone.

Seeing that Ling Han was still standing still, Yingshou went up and pulled his sleeve, and dragged the person away.

"What are you thinking? Concubine Ling asked us to go away, there must be something to say to the princess, you are still standing there, and you are too ignorant of current affairs. ”

Seeing that Concubine Ling closed the door after taking Ning Yuan into the room, Ling Han's expression was slightly solemn.

"Sister Yingshou, can you tell me." Ling Han's voice was a little difficult, "Her Royal Highness the Princess's marriage, is it Concubine Ling's proposal, or is it Your Majesty's?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" Yingshou turned her head to look at Ling Han, and then sighed, "It's better for those of us who are slaves to inquire less about the master's affairs." ”

"If it is proposed by His Majesty, the princess can discuss it with Concubine Ling, why should she sneak out of the palace to find the priest?"

As soon as these words came out, Yingshou was also stunned: "You mean ......?"

Ling Han's eyes were full of insight into everything, "There is only one possibility, in this palace, she has no other person to trust and rely on." ”

Yingshou suddenly came to her senses: "Do you mean that in order to stabilize His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's power, Concubine Ling plans to use the princess to entrap the important ministers of the court?" ”

"Judging by the princess's look and attitude." Ling Han frowned, "I'm afraid it is." ”

If Chen Yu, the son of the general who protects the country, becomes a concubine, as the brother of the princess, the crown prince Xia Zheng will inevitably be supported by the general who holds the military power.

Even if the princess is unwilling to marry Chen Yu, she will inevitably be married to another grandson by Concubine Ling.

In the royal and court courts, marriage was the best means of entrapment, and it was also the most common means of consolidating power.

in the room

"Mother, the imperial brother is already the crown prince, why do we have to marry the courtiers to consolidate the position of the imperial brother?"

Ning Yuan's eyes were full of abruptness and despair, and tears couldn't stop rolling down.

"Kites." Concubine Ling held Ning Yuan's shoulders, and her tone was full of helplessness and resoluteness, "Mother doesn't want to do this either." ”

"Zheng'er is because her mother is favored, and the queen only has a daughter under her knees, so she was made the crown prince, once the mother concubine falls out of favor, the wings of other princes are becoming fuller......"

Ning Yuan's eyes gradually widened, as if her whole heart was firmly clenched, and she was overwhelmed.

As the saying goes, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days.

Today's mother concubine is young and beautiful, and she can still retain the favor of her father, and she will be so favored as the daughter of the favorite concubine.

But who knows when this favor will be lost?

The day the mother fell out of favor was when she was down.

And the abolition of the prince's elder brother, the attitude of the father and the important ministers of the court is particularly important.

She wanted to tell her mother that the person she liked was Master Junnan, a priest with a transcendent status.

If there is a master to help, the prince's brother will inevitably ......

But when the words came to his mouth, Ning Yuan choked again.

Master has no love for her, so how could he marry her?

That's it, if her marriage is married, she can win a bright future for the prince's brother and seek peace of mind for the mother's concubine.

It doesn't matter who she marries.

For the first time, Ning Yuan felt the sadness of being powerless to live on her own.

She was originally a nobleman and the daughter of a favorite concubine.

As soon as he was born, he was clothed and fed, and he was surrounded by a group of slaves, living in the splendid Great Xia Palace, and living a noble and superior life.

And this kind of life is at the expense of her marriage.

She suddenly hated this life.

Ning Yuan's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Concubine Ling in a daze, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Mother, if I am not a princess, but just the daughter of an ordinary family, will I be able to be with my sweetheart?" ”

"Silly boy." Concubine Ling hugged Ning Yuan distressedly, "If everyone can be with their sweetheart, there won't be so many crazy men and women in this world." ”

After Concubine Ling left, Ning Yuan sat in the room in a daze.

When Ling Han came in and saw Ning Kite like this, he only felt a pain in his heart.

If he were Junnan, he would be able to give her the most tender love and comfort.

Even if he can have a powerful ability and status like Jun Nan, it would be good.

At least it can make Ning Yuan no longer have to be a chess piece, so that she can be carefree and no longer hesitate.

Ling Han had never tried to yearn for power and status like that.

Because only when he is strong can he become Ning Kite's dependence.

But he didn't know—

One day, he will hate that self who has supremacy.

He would rather have nothing but a little guard, but be quietly by her side.

Jun Nan really did not break his promise, and after returning to Jinzhou from Chenzhou, he soon went to the Holy Hearing.

"Princess Ning Yuan is still young, so it is really not suitable to talk about marriage, and I ask Your Majesty to take back her fate."

Xia Qihuang waved his hand and said: "Hey, Aiqing is too worried, it's just a marriage contract, and when the kite grows up, it's not too late to marry." ”

"If Your Majesty allows Princess Ning Yuan to marry the general's son, the courtiers will support the prince even more, and if Your Majesty's power is hollowed out at that time, it will be a failure of the minister."

Xia Qihuang's face changed slightly: "They dare?!" ”

"Although things have not yet developed to such a point, and Your Majesty is also in the prime of life, the minister is seeking for Your Majesty, not for the prince, and this future has to be guarded against."

Xia Qihuang knew that Jun Nan was good at divination and calculation, and he could see and know, since he said that there was such a hidden danger, then there must be something wrong with this move.

"What does Yi Aiqing mean?"
