The next day, I moved back to the Mingxia Temple.

After breakfast, the prince went to the study, and I went to the queen's Qinghui hall.

Compared with the haggard and gloomy day before yesterday, today's queen looks bright and moving, and even I can't help but say: "Queen Mother, you are so beautiful today!" ”

The queen smiled happily and took me by the hand and led me to her throne to sit side by side with her. He said to the eunuchs beside him: "Everyone who came to ask for peace today should ask them to go back, I want to have a good time with the crown princess." Every time she came here, she was a bunch of people, and she couldn't say anything. ”

The eunuch obeyed. The queen carefully looked me up and down as if she were seeing me for the first time, and then said in a mocking tone: "Why do you grow more and more beautiful, it seems that it is still good to get married, and when you get married, people will become more and more moisturized and bright day by day." ”

I also borrowed a donkey to go uphill and replied to her: "No wonder the queen mother looks so moist and watery today." ”

"You...... I am the queen mother, how can there be a daughter-in-law who is so sharp and sharp to quarrel with her mother-in-law, alas, pity my heart, where is your opponent. ”

"Queen Mother, the crown prince is my husband, I will only love him, respect him, assist him, and will never be his opponent." I felt like I was making a promise to myself and to the Queen.

These days, getting along with the prince day and night, I seem to gradually like this new identity and new role. No matter what happened in the past, now that I am the crown princess, I have to give advice to the prince and support him to ascend to the throne smoothly and properly. The so-called "in his position, seek his government", thinking too much about anything else will not help, and it will only increase sentimentality. Lately, I've tried not to think about the past as much as possible.

The queen nodded approvingly, took my hand again, and saw that I only wore a red jade bracelet on my left wrist, and my right wrist was empty, and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you wear this hand?" ”

"I don't always wear this hand, it's inconvenient to do something, especially reading and writing." Since I am the crown princess, a woman who will become a queen in the future, admitting that she loves to read, she should not be trained, and she will not let me try to remember that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented".

Unexpectedly, the queen was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really, you like to read, this is really good!" Do you know? My heart has always been most afraid of reading. For this study, he didn't know how much he was trained by his father since he was a child. I now feel that you are simply the daughter-in-law that God sent to my heartfelt son, specially married to him. ”

He looked at me carefully and said, "There is a heroic spirit between your eyebrows that does not allow you to shave your eyebrows." If it's an ordinary woman, it may not be a good thing, but this is what I need to be the crown princess for my heart. My emperor, don't I know about it? Pretty is pretty, but a little less manly. ”

I thought I was born for the King of Qi, but she told me that I was born for the crown prince. Could it be that my destined marriage is not the king of Qi, but the crown prince? In that case, why did I meet him, suffered such a love robbery, and still have a faint pain in my chest when I think about it?

In a trance, I only heard the queen instructing the palace maid beside her: "Qin'er, go and bring my peacock blue jewelry box." ”

Sure enough, Qin'er brought a peacock blue jewelry box, opened the small gold lock, and it was divided into several layers. The queen took out a string of jade bracelets that were as clear as water from one of them and put them on for me with her own hands. I pulled another layer open, took out two gemstone rings, and put them on for me as well. He also said: "Since you are the crown princess, these are essential, and you can take them off when you read and write." ”

Seeing that she was in such a good mood today and seemed to be very fond of me, I took the opportunity to say the purpose of my coming here today: "Queen Mother, my son wants to ask my mother for something. ”

"You say."

"Can Erchen have a banquet in the East Palace? Erchen wanted to invite the prince's Taifu and young masters, as well as those gongcao and master bookkeepers to get together. Don't hide it from the queen mother, since the queen mother said the day before yesterday that her father had the intention of abolishing the prince, the sons and daughters have been studying under the lamp with the prince every night for the past two days, but the prince's homework is really ......"

"You say it's okay. There are no outsiders here. ”

I hesitated, but then made up my mind and said, "It's a mess, so to speak, no entry at all." Then I repeated to the queen the words that the prince had read last night.

The queen was shocked and said, "How can this be? Every time the emperor asked, although those ladies didn't say it was very good, they all said 'okay', and the emperor himself personally asked a few times, although it was not satisfactory, but it was not outrageous to this extent. ”

I said, "This son doesn't dare to talk about it." Mrs. Xun and Young Master Yang are both people who are full of wealth, and the ministers have no doubt about this, but could it be that the teaching methods are a little worse? The queen mother also knew that the prince was a child's temper, and if the princes used the old pedantic teaching method according to the script, it might really have no effect. ”

The queen also nodded, and I said: "And what shocked the son the most was that yesterday the prince inadvertently mentioned that Wei Qian was actually the prince's concubine!" Since there is a master-apprentice relationship, why is it that he is leading the trouble and wants to bring down the prince? ”

"It's not because he didn't choose his daughter to be the crown princess."

"If that's the case, what can you teach the prince if such a narrow-minded and ruthless person becomes the prince?"

The queen thought for a while and said, "You mean, you want to get to know the people around the prince through the banquet?" This idea is not bad, that is, the prince has never had a banquet, and he knows if he can do it. ”

"In the past, it was normal for the prince to be young and unmarried, so he had never presided over a banquet. But now that he has become a parent, he is an adult, and this kind of thing is a banquet, a person who is a prince will have to learn it sooner or later, what does the queen mother think? ”

"Well, you're right, you can't always treat him as a child, there are some things, it's time to let him do it himself."

"Then, Erchen has another request, the prince and Erchen are holding such a banquet for the first time, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold the scene at that time, especially afraid of stage fright, and it will be bad to make jokes. Therefore, Erchen had the courage to invite the Queen Mother to come in person to help the prince and Erchen preside over the first banquet in the East Palace. ”

"Okay, my son and daughter-in-law, who will go if I don't go to support the field."
