Chapter 720: Hesitation
Emperor Jingming wanted to think about it again, but the queen didn't say anything more.
More than enough is too much.
Although her words were tactful, they could be regarded as showing her attitude, and the emperor would not fail to understand.
If you continue to talk about it, you have to find out, and it is not a smart way to find out when the emperor has not yet made up his mind.
The queen decided to wait and see.
Recognize such a big thing, the emperor has to mention it to her when he has a decision. If the emperor decided that the king of Yan would of course be happy, if it was the king of Xiang...... At that time, she had no choice but to oppose it.
This time, the queen left the Heart Cultivation Palace, in an unspeakable mood.
Emperor Jingming got up and walked around the hall twice.
Pan Hai stood in the corner, very low-key.
I don't know how long it took, Emperor Jingming spoke: "Pan Hai, accompany me out for a walk." β
Pan Hai responded and hurriedly followed.
The sun outside the palace was very good, but it didn't make the old emperor feel more relaxed.
Emperor Jingming unconsciously walked to the depths of the harem and met Fuqing and the fourteen princesses who came out of Cining Palace.
"I've seen my father." The two princesses greeted Emperor Jingming together.
Emperor Jingming said warmly: "Get up." β
He looked at his two daughters with gentle eyes.
It is only a few days before the Shangyuan Festival, and both the princess of Fuqing and the fourteenth princess have obviously lost weight.
is different from the plain-faced beloved daughter I have seen in the past, with the poor experience that Emperor Jingming has accumulated for decades, I can barely see that Princess Fuqing has smeared fat powder today.
Grease powder, apparently to hide the haggard complexion.
Emperor Jingming couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
His daughter is really a lot of disasters and difficulties, and the pearl that is obviously held in the palm of her hand has been plotted again and again.
It was his dereliction of duty, both as an emperor and as a father.
Emperor Jingming's silence made the fourteenth princess a little uneasy, but she was used to being cautious and didn't dare to say anything.
Princess Fuqing cheered up and showed a brisk smile: "Is my father taking a walk?" Do you want your daughter to accompany you? β
Emperor Jingming's guilt was a little more.
Fuqing, the child, was obviously frightened, but he didn't show it at all to worry the elders.
With such a temperament, if there is no one to protect him, Emperor Jingming couldn't help but think of the queen's words.
Subconsciously shook his head, Emperor Jing Ming smiled: "No need, you guys go back and rest." β
Princess Fuqing and Princess Fourteen glanced at each other and bent their knees slightly: "My daughter is leaving." β
Looking at the backs of his two daughters leaving, Emperor Jingming sighed and retracted his gaze, and he was no longer in the mood to wander around.
Back at the Heart Nourishing Palace, the heating in the hall came in, which made Emperor Jingming a little uncomfortable.
The earth dragon and brazier should be removed, and the heat makes people irritable.
Sitting down and drinking a cup of hot tea served by Pan Hai, Emperor Jingming suddenly spoke: "Pan Hai-"
"The slave is here."
Emperor Jingming looked at him and seemed to be careless: "What do you think is the best relationship between mother and son?" β
"Huh?" Pan Hai looked sluggish.
In the past two days, the emperor's abnormality was seen by Pan Hai, making him just want to be a man with his tail between his legs.
Emperor Jingming's face was straight: "Whatever you think, say whatever you want." β
With such a big matter, could he have made a decision because of a few words from an attendant? Obviously impossible, but it didn't prevent him from listening.
Pan Hai complained bitterly in his heart, but the emperor didn't dare not reply to his question, and said thoughtfully: "The slave maid hasn't read many books and doesn't understand too many truths, so she can only talk nonsenseββ"
Emperor Jingming raised his eyelids and glanced at him, there was a lot of nonsense in his heart, and he said angrily: "Say." β
"The slave and maid only think of the mother's kindness and filial piety."
Emperor Jingming waited for a while, but when he didn't see Pan Hai again, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It's gone?" β
Pan Hai smiled innocently: "It's gone." β
Emperor Jingming's gaze moved downward, and he swept over a sad place on the old eunuch's body.
Pan Hai suddenly felt the deep malice from the emperor.
Didn't he just say it briefly, the emperor is like this......
The dignified Son of Heaven laughed at him in such a silent way as an old eunuch, how could he bear it!
At this moment, the overseer of Dongchang, Pan Gonggong, had the urge to raise his sleeves and wipe his tears.
Emperor Jingming silently hit his old henchman, waved his hand and said, "Stand down, I want to be quiet." β
Soon only Emperor Jingming was left in the hall.
He stared at the rippling tea in front of him.
Mother and son are filial piety, very simple ideas.
The queen likes the seventh child, and if she keeps the seventh in her name, she will definitely be able to do this.
The seventh and the eighth, there is not much difference between which one is recorded in the queen's name, if you can be happy, why not.
Emperor Jingming's hesitation was mainly because once a certain prince was recorded in his name, then the prince would have the qualifications to be the prince, and the original seven princes and eight princes were never considered.
For Emperor Jingming, it doesn't matter what the queen likes, what others think, or even his own preferences, what matters is the qualification of the prince.
Thinking about this, Emperor Jingming became more and more disregarding King Qi and the others.
Don't look at the ministers who haven't started calling yet, but he knows in his heart that the highest voice of the ministers is the fourth son of the king of Qi, followed by the sixth son of the king of Shu. If one of them is recorded in the name of the queen, it can be said that the position of the prince is a certainty.
It's just that Emperor Jingming didn't want to settle the crown prince so early.
After experiencing the lesson of reinstating the crown prince, a hasty decision is the most important, and he will never be led by the nose by the ministers again. In this way, picking a prince who has no foundation to be recorded in the name of the queen can make the ministers who are anxious to stand in line slow down.
This is also the most important reason why Emperor Jingming nodded without hesitating for too long after listening to the queen's request to have an eldest son.
The seventh or the eighth?
Emperor Jingming took a sip of the teacup, and the queen flashed in his mind, the princess of Fuqing, the virtuous concubine, many people, and even Pan Hai flashed once, and the balance quietly tilted towards Yu Jin, and he still couldn't make up his mind completely for a while.
The old emperor, who had been out of his mind for too long, opened his mouth and snorted, and spit out the chewed tea leaves.
It's bitter!
Yu Jin and King Xiang left the palace together.
The king of Xiang left with a full stomach of questions, glanced at Yu Jin, and saw that the people were light and light, and couldn't help asking: "Seventh brother, what do you mean when you say that your father sent us into the palace?" β
Yu Jin replied succinctly: "I don't know." β
King Xiang froze, looked left and right at no one, and lowered his voice and said, "You're not curious?" β
"I'm not curious." Yu Jin said with a smile.
He knew everything, and he was still curious about something.
There was no way to talk, King Xiang pursed the corners of his lips and clenched his fists: "Seventh brother, my brother will go first." β
The corners of Yu Jin's lips hooked slightly: "Spring is here, maybe my father wants to choose a concubine for the eighth brother." β
King Xiang was stunned and couldn't help panicking.
Choosing a concubine? The shadow of his marriage to Cui Mingyue has not yet dissipated, he doesn't want to choose a concubine!
After the panic, King Xiang found a loophole: "No, if it's to choose a concubine, why do you still call Seventh Brother?" β
Yu Jin smiled slightly: "Among the brothers, you and I are of the same age, and I am in harmony with your seventh sister-in-law, and I am very affectionate, my father probably wants me to be a good example for my eighth brother." β
King Xiang: Is it true that "......"?
