Outside the long pavilion, trees that have lost their leaves are lined up until the end of the road, as if awe-inspiring soldiers are standing guard.

In February, the weather in the capital is still cold.

Jiang seemed to want to go back to Dongpingbo's Mansion to have a light meal with his father and eldest sister, but was stopped by Jiang Ancheng: "It's better to go back to the palace to rest early, you are pregnant, don't run around." ”

He heard that Princess Qi had a miscarriage because of participating in the Zhengdan family banquet in the palace, which shows that a woman is the most reliable to stay at home when she is pregnant.

Seeing Jiang Ancheng say this, Jiang seemed to have no more insistence, and went back to Yanwang's Mansion with Yu Jin.

Erniu happily came out, circled around Jiang Xiang twice, and screamed twice at her bulging lower abdomen, as if greeting the future little master.

Yu Jin glared at Erniu and said to Jiang Yi: "Go slower." ”

Jiang seems to be six months pregnant, but she is not as bloated and inconvenient as ordinary pregnant women, except for her slightly bulging abdomen, she still has thin arms and legs, and she walks lightly.

She slowed down and walked with Yu Jin in the garden.

There is already greenery in the garden, and the apricot blossoms are blooming in the corners.

"Ah See, don't worry, I have already written a letter to my friend in southern Xinjiang, asking him to take more care of Jiang Zhan, and at the same time send someone to follow secretly."

"Well, I just hope that the second brother will come back soon."

When it came to Jiang Zhan's long journey, Jiang seemed impossible not to worry, but she couldn't stop it.

Seeing Jiang Xiang's face, Yu Jin stretched out his hand to stroke her lower abdomen, and asked happily, "What do you say is the name of our child?" ”

"I don't know if it's a man or a woman, and how to name it."

"First of all, the name of the milk. I've already figured out that if a boy is called Ahri, if a girl is called Gillian, what do you say? ”

Erniu, who had been following the two of them, stopped doing it, raised his head and barked twice.

Name the little master Ahri? It disagrees!

Yu Jin was accustomed to Erniu's convulsions from time to time, glared at it, retracted his gaze and waited for Jiang's response.

Jiang Ru smiled and nodded: "Ahri and Gillian are very good, so let's call it that." ”

There was a plop, and the two turned around together, and saw Erniu lying on the ground, looking loveless.

As a big dog with a lot of ideas, it doesn't accept the little owner called Ahri!

The wind and waves in Yanwang's Mansion were calm, but they couldn't stop the dark tide surging outside.

The ministers, who had been gearing up for a long time, finally made a request for the crown prince.

As long as Emperor Jingming ascends to the court, several courtiers will inevitably stand up and mention the matter of establishing a prince.

If he is soft-hearted, the ministers will be aggressive, showing the posture that they will hit the pillar if they disagree.

If his attitude is cold and hard, the ministers will cry and wipe their tears, crying and shouting that the prince is hanging in the air, the country is unstable, and they can't be sinners of the Great Zhou for their own glory.

Emperor Jingming returned to the imperial study, slapped the table fiercely, and scolded: "These bastards, one by one, can act better than the plays on the stage!" They are so capable, why don't they sing! ”

Pan Hai silently picked up the notebook that had fallen on the ground, stuffed it into a pile of folds, and did not answer Emperor Jingming's words.

It's about the crown prince, but it's not something he can talk about.

Emperor Jingming was still angry, patted the table and said: "I'm not seventy or eighty anymore, the position of the crown prince has only been vacant for less than half a year, and these bastards can't wait." Establish a prince? Who do they want to appoint? King of Jin or King of Qi? ”

Emperor Jingming's voice was a little high, and the attendant standing at the door lowered his eyes, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, the adults are also thinking about the country......" Pan Hai was afraid that Emperor Jingming would be angry, so he hurriedly persuaded.

Emperor Jingming raised his eyebrows: "Jiangshan Sheji? Whose country is this, and whose society is this? Who should be appointed as the crown prince, and when should the prince be appointed, I know in my heart, and it is not their turn to force me! ”

On the second day, when a courtier mentioned the matter of establishing a prince again, Emperor Jingming, who was furious, scolded these words.

After a period of silence in the hall, the imperial historian who stood up said impassionedly: "The emperor's words are wrong. The ministers are all the people of the Great Zhou, they eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries, and they can't watch the emperor hesitate and stay out of the way, so it is irresponsible to the country's society——"

"You!" Emperor Jingming was rarely angry, pointed at the imperial history, and before he could refute it, his eyes suddenly darkened, and his body tilted to the side.

The ministers were in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"

For a while, people turned on their backs, and Pan Haitie appeared in the main hall with a blue face.

The buzzing discussion suddenly stopped, and the ministers surrounded Pan Hai, and they scrambled to ask: "Father-in-law Pan, how is the emperor?" ”

Pan Hai said coldly: "Don't worry, my lords, the emperor is just too tired, and the imperial doctor said that he needs to recuperate for some time, and it is not a big problem." ”

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." ”

"Everyone, let's disperse."

Some people raised their feet and prepared to leave, and many more people stood still: "Grandpa Pan, will you go to court tomorrow?" ”

Pan Hai rolled his eyes and said, "The emperor wants to recuperate, and he will not go to court for the time being." The emperor said, if you have something to do, just write an excerpt and hand it in......"

Returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, looking at Emperor Jingming lying on the couch, Pan Hai sighed quietly.

It's not easy to be the emperor, not to mention being dizzy, you have to take the opportunity to pretend to be sick to escape the persecution of your courtiers.

"They're all scattered?"

"Scattered."

"Well, it's good to disperse, don't let them bother me these days!"

Pan Hai thought for a moment and reminded: "Your Majesty, you are recuperating from illness, the princess and others will definitely come to visit, and when the time comes—"

"Let them in when they come." Emperor Jingming said lightly.

Prince Li really can't hide, he just took advantage of this time to think about it.

Emperor Jingming's "illness", King Jin was secretly happy.

Since Princess Qi's miscarriage, the fourth child seems to have suffered a lot of blows, and he has the intention of stopping the flag.

The father is sick, and if his health deteriorates more and more, the prince will eventually become established as soon as possible, and his chances will be greater.

Although the King of Jin really wanted to go to serve the disease immediately to win the favor of Emperor Jingming, he felt that the first visit was too urgent, so he endured it and waited for someone to act.

King Qi thought the same way.

The gun shot the first bird, and he kept it in mind.

Moreover, he also wants to paralyze the King of Jin, so that the King of Jin feels that he has no intention of competing for the throne, and it is not easy to be too active.

The first person to visit Emperor Jingming was Yu Jin.

Emperor Jingming was surprised and quite relieved.

As the father and son were talking, Pan Haiyu reported: "Your Majesty, the King of Jin has brought his son to see you." ”

"Pass it on."

Not long after, the King of Jin walked in with his son and gave Emperor Jingming a salute.

Emperor Jingming's gaze fell on Fu Ge'er, the prince of the Jin Dynasty.

Fu Ge'er was a shy child, and he was instinctively afraid of his grandfather, who was the emperor, and hid behind King Jin.

King Jin's face did not change, but he was anxious in his heart: Brother Fu, this kid really doesn't know how to be likable!

Just as he was about to say something, the inner servant reported: "King Jing came to visit the emperor with his son. ”
