In the eighth year of Emperor Yu of Tiansheng Kingdom, Xiao Ji, the fifth prince, was stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner because he tried to rebel, and was given a royal palace on the outskirts of the capital, which was handled by a special royal forest army.

Although the emperor's condition is better than before, but after all, his health is not as good as before, and the seventh prince presides over the government and readjusts some important courtiers of Tiansheng Kingdom, so that all aspects of Tiansheng Kingdom can develop in a better direction. The ministers of the court have asked the emperor to upload the seventh prince, but the seventh prince has pushed again and again.

"Seventh brother, the emperor's brother is sick...... Ahem...... Even...... Ahem...... It's no better, you are the most suitable to sit on this throne......" The emperor said with difficulty, and now every time he says a word, it takes a lot of energy. On that day, he had an early court with the ministers, and the ministers of the court also supported the request of the Seventh Emperor Brother to inherit the throne, but the Seventh Emperor Brother still refused to agree. After that, such admonitions were almost never broken, and almost never responded to these Seven Emperor Brothers.

"Brother Huang, stop talking and get some rest. Your illness will be fine. Xiao Lang still avoided the emperor's words, and it was a day to be able to push it one day. He really didn't want to do that position. If it weren't for the fear that the Five Emperor Brothers would be unfavorable to them, he really wanted to push that position to the Five Emperor Brothers, and the Five Emperor Brothers had the ability to do a good job. It's a pity that the Fifth Emperor Brother disappointed him too much, and now he is not at ease to give that position to the Fifth Emperor Brother.

"Seventh brother, don't comfort the imperial brother, the imperial brother's own body, he knows it. This throne ...... Ahem...... I'm afraid you won't be able to push it off...... Ahem...... those courtiers won't agree. "How could he not understand the heart of the seventh brother? Back then, the seventh brother didn't want to be the emperor, and his father would pass on the throne to himself, if the seventh brother was willing to be the emperor, how could it be his turn to do the throne? Now that the seventh brother has Xiaoling, Xiaoling likes freedom and likes to live an ordinary life, these seventh brothers also know, how can the seventh brother be willing to be the emperor? It's just that if the seventh brother doesn't do it, those courtiers will definitely not agree. And Tiansheng Kingdom will only develop better in the hands of the seventh brother.

"Brother Huang, I'll think about it, my princess doesn't know this yet, I'll discuss it with her when I go back today." At this time, I'm afraid I can't tell her if I don't want to. He'll figure out how to tell her when he's going to tell her.

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine", Concubine Shu walked in with a bowl of steaming medicine, the emperor's favorite was Concubine Shu before, and after the emperor fell ill, it was Concubine Shu who took care of the emperor the most.

"Brother Huang, drink medicine well, recuperate well, the younger brother has left first, and the younger brother will come to see the imperial brother again when he has time." Seeing Concubine Shu come in, Xiao Lang wanted to give them the space.

In the garden in the Seven Kings' Mansion, Shi Ling'er was playing a game with Cai Qing, Xiao Min and other girls, Shi Ling'er's eyes were blindfolded, and she was struggling to catch the person closest to her, but she was tired and sweaty, she didn't catch it, it seems that his body is still too weak, the speed is not as fast as them, and she has to exercise more when she has time.

Finally Shi Ling'er caught the corner of a person's clothes, she was very happy, and while pulling off the blindfolded scarf, she said excitedly, "Caught it!" I got it! Your turn! ”

But when her scarf was pulled off, what she saw was that those girls had long since disappeared, and the person she caught was Xiao Lang.

Xiao Lang looked at the embarrassed Shi Ling'er with a smile, pinched her nose and said, "Stupid Ling'er, lost again?" ”

"Humph! It's not fun! I'm not playing anymore, I'm gone! "Don't those girls know to let her? It's good that she is also a princess, and she won't give her any face! It seems that she is too good to them on weekdays, and she is used to them all being big and small.

Xiao Lang grabbed Shi Ling'er's hand, took her into his arms, lowered his head and pecked her on the lips quickly, and said, "Hehe, Ling'er, if you can't catch it, you will play tricks?" ”

"Those girls are so hateful, they obviously don't take me, the princess, in their eyes!" Shi Ling'er pouted and said angrily.

Looking at her cute expression, Xiao Lang couldn't help but smile, "Ling'er really doesn't look like a princess!" There is no dignified and virtuous appearance of the princess at all! ”

"Who is rare to be a princess, hum!" She shouldn't be like those ancient ladies who do everything so well, it will be very tiring.

"It's not a rare princess, how about I give you a queen?" Xiao Lang said jokingly.

After listening to Xiao Lang's joke, Shi Ling'er couldn't laugh, Xiao Lang, why did he suddenly say this? Empress? He wouldn't have joked about this with himself. Could it be......

"Alang ......"

"Ling'er, seriously, if you are asked to be the queen, you ......" Seeing Shi Ling'er's puzzled expression, Xiao Lang directly interrupted her and said.

"Nope! Aaron! I don't want to be a queen! Without waiting for Xiao Lang to finish speaking, Shi Ling'er directly denied it.

"But Ling'er, not long after we came back from Jiangnan, the imperial brother and courtiers told me many times that I would inherit the throne, but I took into account your feelings, so I pushed it again and again, and now it's time to push it too soon, if I don't agree, those courtiers won't agree." Xiao Lang said solemnly, he really didn't want to tell Ling'er about this, but he needed to let her be mentally prepared first.

"Can't you really push it off?" Shi Ling'er's joy of playing the game just now is gone, and she is also in distress, what should she do? As Xiao Lang's princess, she can't share his worries, she can imagine how much pressure Ah Lang has borne at these times. But she really didn't want to fall into the battle of the harem like those ancient women, and if Ah Lang became the emperor, they just couldn't avoid it.

Nodding helplessly, Xiao Lang sighed and said, "Ah Lang doesn't want to push it away, it's just that Tiansheng Kingdom now seems to be the only one who can inherit the throne." Originally, the Fifth Emperor Brother was absolutely capable of inheriting that position, but after that happened, the eldest Emperor Brother and I were not very worried about him, besides, the Fifth Emperor Brother had such a rebellious heart, and those courtiers would not agree to let him succeed to the throne. ”

"This is the Emperor's House! Full of contention, and full of helplessness! Shi Ling'er said with a sigh.

"Ling'er, I'm sorry!" I couldn't give her the ordinary life she wanted!

"Alang, don't tell me I'm sorry! If you can't push it off, Ling'er will face it with you! Since she has chosen him, she must accept everything from him, his joys and sorrows, his helplessness, and his pressure, she must share them together.

"Ling'er, I've hurt you." Hearing Shi Ling'er's thoughtful words, Xiao Lang was moved to hold her tightly in his arms. His Ling'er really understands him well, but he is really sorry for her, he once swore so much to give her everything she wants, but in the end he couldn't give her anything.
