Looking at Chen Yuantai's back gradually moving away, the queen turned around and slapped Deng Wenjiao fiercely: "Dead girl, one day I will call you to death!" ”

Deng Wenjiao said unconvinced: "Auntie, why are you so cautious!" If it weren't for our family giving my uncle money and food, how could he become the emperor so quickly! You have the prince again......"

The queen was frightened and hurriedly went to cover her mouth, and the people who served in the palace lowered their heads and did not hear what they were doing.

"You all go down first!" The queen said angrily to the palace maids and eunuchs.

When everyone dispersed, the queen slapped Deng Wenjiao in the face and reprimanded: "This slap is to make you have a long memory!" If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, I will ask your father to ground you and never go out! ”

Deng Wenjiao's purple face swelled and cried: "Auntie, I won't talk about this in the future...... However, today Du Mingxin said that she wanted to marry the King of Jin and humiliate me, you, even if you don't help me, you have to think about the face of our Anguo Mansion! ”

"Don't worry, she can't marry King Jin, and the Queen Mother won't be the first to agree." The queen looked at her pampered niece crying like a tearful person, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart, so she said to her in a soothing tone, "Who Du Mingxin wants to marry, the queen mother has already chosen someone in her heart, and she will make a decree to marry in a while." ”

"You have to be restrained in the future, your uncle is no longer the commander of Ping Liangwei, he is the emperor! Coercion is already despised by the world, and you still use it on the royal body, are you dead? Xingguo Gong's family, for the emperor's great cause, the whole family is gone, have you ever seen him mention it once? ”

Deng Wenjiao was overjoyed when she heard the queen say so sure that Du Mingxin would not marry Chen Xi, and she didn't listen to the rest of the words. "Auntie, shall I dine with you? I want to eat grilled quail! ”

The queen sighed, what can the child do if he is stupid? Only slowly teach! She said: "The emperor just sent a message and told you to go home, do you take it as a deaf ear?" Hurry up and pack your things, let's go! ”

Chen Yuantai returned to the Qianqing Palace alone, and had the heart to find someone to talk to, but found that the huge harem didn't even have a confidant. The queen is fourteen years younger than him, and when he got married, he had King Yu and Anping, and he had already passed a thousand sails, and it was difficult to have the youthful feelings of his youth. Although they are a couple, it is really difficult to be affectionate.

Not to mention Concubine De, she was Chen Yuantai's maidservant when she was stationed in Pingliangwei before, and she was in turmoil for a while, and she had her eldest son, Chen Zhao. Because Chen Yuantai and his wife had been married for several years at that time, but there was only one daughter in Anping, the queen mother took a special fancy to this child, and Chen Zhao, the king of Yu, was born, and Concubine De had today's honor.

As for these little flowers-like selection and maid picking after entering the palace, it is even easier to get into the eyes and difficult to get into the heart.

"Go and prepare a table of wine and food," Chen Yuantai instructed the eunuch beside him, "and then send someone to invite the Duke of Dingguo to come, and I will talk to him." ”

The eunuch agreed. More than half an hour later, Dingguo Gong Xu Xing hurried over, and the wine and food were just ready.

"Sit down and talk to me." Chen Yuantai saw that Xu Xing was just standing at the other end of the long table with his hands down, so he smiled and beckoned him to come over.

"Don't be shy! Today there is only wine and meat, and there are no kings and ministers! Chen Yuantai poured Xu Xing a glass of wine with a smile, and Xu Xing hurriedly got up to thank him.

Chen Yuantai frowned and said, "When did you become so boring!" If you continue to make trouble like this, how can you eat and drink? ”

Xu Xing hurriedly punished himself with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "If you can't see wine and meat, you will forget about the monarch and minister!" ”

Chen Yuantai waved his hand, drank a glass of wine, and said, "Don't talk about this." Let me tell you, Chen Xi came to beg me a few days ago, saying that he wanted to marry Shen Yao's niece. But the queen's niece took a fancy to Chen Xi, how do you say I should judge this public case? ”

"This ......" Xu Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, quickly thinking about how to deal with it.

He has been by Chen Yuantai's side since he was a child, and he doesn't know ten out of ten about him, but he also has eight or nine points. Chen Xi's identity is embarrassing, and now because of Chen Yuantai's favor, King Ning is very dissatisfied. King Yu and the crown prince, one is fifteen years old, the other is only eight years old, when they grow up, how will they look at Chen Xi?

For these reasons, he was very reluctant to marry his daughter to Chen Xi. However, if Chen Yuantai has made up his mind, I am afraid that no one will be able to turn around. These days, he has been tossing and turning, but he doesn't know how to persuade Chen Yuantai. When he heard this today, he was really happy, but he didn't dare to show half a point on his face.

"The minister has never seen Shen Yao's niece, why did the king of Jin ask to marry him before he entered Beijing for a long time?" Xu Xing was a little puzzled.

"They have known each other since childhood...... Chen Yuantai relayed the origin of Chen Xi and Du Mingxin, and then said with a smile, "At the beginning, you vulgar things still laughed at him for being a little monk with a brainless mind, but I don't know that people have long been in love!" ”

Xu Xing looked at the smile on Chen Yuantai's face, and the approval in his tone, where could he not break his meaning? But how to say this, Xu Xing slowly picked up the wine glass and thought about it.

When Shen Yao was twelve years old, Chen Yuantai rescued him from the death row and sent him to Xu Xing. Over the years, Xu Xing has taught carefully, and the two have a deep relationship. This marriage is not good for Shen Yao.

Beneficiary, Chen Xi is thoughtful, and he has no appearance and character, which is the best choice for his son-in-law. Shen Yao must be very relieved that he was able to get such a good match for his niece.

Moreover, Chen Xi is strong, and the light overshadows Chen Yuantai's parents, children, and nephews, and even the future concubine Lin Lang is not far behind. Being able to become an in-law with such a person is also a guarantee for Shen Yao.

However, this is where the disadvantagers come from. Chen Xi's merits are high, but he will not be crowned king. The person who was dissatisfied with him was Chen Yuantai's relatives, and even the Queen Mother looked at Chen Xi very unpleasantly. After a hundred years of Chen Yuantai, it is difficult for anyone to say clearly what happened to Chen Xi.

"If it is based on the heart of King Jin, then naturally Miss Du should be chosen. If it is for the future of King Jin, maybe Miss Deng is a good match......" Xu Xing carefully worded his words, giving an ambiguous answer.

Chen Yuantai frowned and said, "If you are talking about the crown prince, then there is no need to worry. I will ask Chen Xi to teach the prince riding and archery kung fu in the future, and the two of them will definitely get along. In the future, Chen Xi will be the prince's arm, whether it is the Deng family or Chen Ting, there is no need to care. ”

Xu Xing thinks about it, this is also the truth, what happens to Chen Xi in the future, the prince is the key. "You are bent on planning for King Jin, which is naturally good. However, I am afraid that I still have to work the reputation of King Jin, otherwise how to subdue everyone? ”

Chen Yuantai smiled: "This is what I ask you to do!" ”
