Chapter 573: Prince
In the palace.
The bright moon hangs high, and the singing and dancing are leveled.
Because this year's Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the second prince, the tenth birthday of King Min Jie is particularly grand with Queen Xu.
Not only did the concubines and princes and princesses in the palace be invited, but even the concubines who lived in the harem and the royal family basically arrived.
Probably His Royal Highness the King of Han just sent good news, the three-year drought in Qingzhou has been resolved, and Emperor Yan Cheng is particularly happy tonight, basically not refusing to come.
The palace banquet was only halfway through, and he was already slightly drunk.
Even unusually, he, who had not been close to women for a long time, even took the initiative to summon two talented little palace concubines and let them lean in front of him to serve wine and food.
There is a clever little palace concubine, in order to please Queen Xu, she relied on the emperor's mercy and took the initiative to mention, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is another good day for His Royal Highness, what can the emperor appreciate?" ”
Min Jie is an honest child, on his birthday today, he is wearing a red robe of 100 longevity, and he said loudly with a red face when he heard the words, "Don't reward the child, as long as the father and queen mother are healthy, my Dayan country and the people will be safe!" ”
The concubines of the clan applauded and praised, "What a good boy." In this way, the emperor should be rewarded. ”
Before Emperor Yan Cheng could speak, Empress Xu answered first, "Even if the emperor wants to be rewarded, he must also think about it." Look at the emperor's sweat, carefully patted the wind, why don't the concubines serve the emperor and go to change clothes first? ”
is so considerate and virtuous, what a good queen.
Maybe the emperor and queen have a private room to say.
Everyone got up with a smile and sent off the emperor.
Emperor Yan Cheng's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and then he took Empress Xu's hand and went inside to change his clothes.
Min Jie didn't know what the queen mother was going to ask for, so he was afraid that his father would be embarrassed, so he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people and caught up with him and whispered, "The son really doesn't want anything, don't bother the queen mother." ”
Empress Xu's beautiful eyes sharpened, but Emperor Yan Cheng raised his hand to pat his son.
"It's not your turn to worry about the affairs of adults, go back and entertain the guests for me."
Min Jie had no choice but to retire.
When the emperor entered the inner hall and closed the door, Emperor Yan Cheng asked with a smile with a sense of wine, "What does the queen want for the second prince?" ”
The corners of Empress Xu's eyes squinted, swept towards Li Dahai, who followed up, and said majestically, "Stand down!" ”
Li Dahai was stunned, he was the emperor's person, and Empress Xu had never dared to talk to him like this.
Emperor Yan Cheng waved his hand and looked at Empress Xu again, "It seems that the Empress has some confidential matters and wants to return alone." ”
"Of course." Empress Xu raised her head and glanced at the emperor with a little contempt, "But the emperor's affairs, presumably Li Dahai, a minion, should know." If you are willing to keep him, the concubines are nothing, but I am afraid that the emperor's face will not be able to get up, but it will be embarrassing. ”
"Hehe, if the queen wants to say so, then I will leave this slave behind. Li Dahai, change clothes for me. Also listen to what the queen wants to say. ”
Li Dahai agreed, and closed the door of the main hall with a slip.
Another set of dragon robes was brought to change clothes for the emperor.
Empress Xu didn't care what the master and servant did, in fact, she felt that what she had to do was more important.
"Your Majesty, the second prince is already ten years old, and his diligence and studious work is something you can see in your eyes and personally admit."
Emperor Yan Cheng snorted, "Yes, so I named him King Qin, can the queen be satisfied?" ”
"The concubine is naturally satisfied, and she is deeply grateful to Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty, if you can pass on the crown prince's position to the second prince tonight, the concubines will be even more grateful to Your Majesty. Besides, among the princes, except for the second prince, the concubines can't think of anyone else who can have this identity and inherit the unification. ”
After Empress Xu finished speaking, she looked at Emperor Yan Cheng proudly.
This is also the last persuasion of the concubine to the emperor with a husband and wife love. The emperor should not force his concubines to say indecent things. ”
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yan Cheng looked at her with a look of surprise that she expected.
"Why did the queen say this? Establishing the prince is a major matter for the country, why do you have to make a choice tonight? Could it be the queen, did you expect that I wouldn't be able to survive tonight? ”
Empress Xu couldn't pretend anymore, and she didn't want to pretend anymore, "Your Majesty, put away your coquettish attitude, let's open the skylight and say something." Your body is no longer fit to sit on the dragon chair! Back then, the Jin Xuan servant still injured the dragon's body after all, right? ”
Emperor Yan Cheng is no longer pretending.
With his thin and handsome god-like face, he forced to look at Queen Xu, "The assassination of Jin Xuanzhi back then was instigated by the queen. Or rather, it was the queen who pushed it, right? ”
Queen Xu was weak in the end, and gave him a dodge look, "What's the point of thinking about these old things now?" Your Majesty, you don't have to deceive your concubines anymore. The concubine has secretly checked the medical case of the Taiyi Bureau, and you have been taking aphrodisiac herbs for the past few years. But your beard, your Adam's apple, and even your ability to pamper your harem, can't be—"
Syllable!
A heavy slap was thrown on Queen Xu's face, causing half of her face to suddenly swell high, and the corners of her lips were bloody.
Emperor Yan Cheng pointed at her, his phoenix eyes were cold, "I have thought to myself that I have not been sorry for the queen over the years. Why did the queen do this to me? ”
Queen Xu covered her face, and instead of crying, she became more and more ruthless.
"If the emperor is really good to his concubines, why don't you give your eldest son early and make the son of your concubine the crown prince? On the one hand, you are taking advantage of the family background of your concubine and my Xu family to sit firmly on this dragon chair, and on the other hand, you are thinking about your eldest son. Which woman can endure it? ”
Emperor Yan Cheng was furious, but in the end, the emperor had been emperor for many years, so that his cultivation of kung fu was far beyond ordinary people, but he calmed down.
"Queen, you have always boasted that you have read and are knowledgeable. Then why don't you understand that there is a first-come-first-served truth in this world?
I married Concubine Xu Xian, and the king of Han was born in front, and when I married you, you didn't know it, if you can't accept it, you can refuse to be this queen. If I use you and your family background, why don't you and your Xu family use me and want the world's first-class wealth? ”
Queen Xu was not convinced, "Although there are people in the world who come first and come later, there is a reason that the master comes first!" No matter my family background and appearance, I am more than a thousand times stronger than Concubine Xu Xian, why do I have to endure their mother and son for so many years?
Even if it wasn't the emperor's accession to the throne back then, if you change someone, the concubines may not be able to sit on this phoenix throne, and the mother will be the world. It's the emperor, pretending to be confused, and letting the concubines suffer for so many years, don't you feel the slightest guilt? ”
Scold!
Emperor Yan Cheng laughed out loud, but in the laughter, there was a hint of sadness.
"Queen, Queen, I understand. It turns out that in your heart, I, the husband, am just a puppet. It can be me, or it can be any Zhang San and Li Si sitting on the dragon chair. In comparison, even if Concubine Xu Xian is inferior to you in every way, she is a little better than you. ”
