Chen Yuantai sighed and said, "It's okay." Go and tell Zhaorong that you don't have to wait, and then ask someone to put dinner in the Qianqing Palace, and invite the princess to come over and use it together. ”

The prince hurriedly agreed, turned around and was about to go out, when he heard Chen Yuantai's instructions: "Ask the imperial dining room to cook another mackerel, the princess loves to eat it." ”

"Yes!" The prince took the order and left.

Half an hour later, dinner was set up, and Princess Anping arrived.

"There is no one else today, let's talk to the father and daughter." Chen Yuantai smiled and asked Princess Anping to sit down.

Princess Anping sat silently, and when she saw the braised mackerel on the table, she suddenly had an indescribable taste in her heart.

Her mother died when she was very young, and she only vaguely felt that the relationship between her parents was not good. Over the years, Chen Yuantai fought in the south and the north, and then he was busy with state affairs, and his care for her was only superficial.

Although she was raised by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother only cared about Chen Ting and King Yu's two grandsons. As for the queen, Concubine De and others, they have always stayed away from her, the only daughter left behind by the Empress Yuan. She may not be good to anyone, but it is absolutely impossible to offend her.

It is said to be the pride of the sky, but it is like a weed.

Princess Anping ate silently, listening to her father instruct the eunuch to bring all kinds of dishes to herself from time to time.

Finally, dinner ran out. The long table at which the meal was taken away, and the prince himself served tea to the father and daughter, and then quietly took everyone out, and stood guard outside the door, waiting for the dispatch.

"How are the Queen Mother's bodies these days?" Chen Yuantai took a sip of tea and asked.

"Okay." Princess Anping replied, "It's just due to the weather, the Queen Mother always feels that the palace is dry, and Concubine De ordered someone to put a few more pots of narcissus in the house, and the Queen Mother feels better." ”

"I thought I would go to Cining Palace to dine with you today, but I think you might have something to say to me......" Chen Yuantai looked at the wooden look on his daughter's face, and felt a little distressed and guilty in his heart. What the hell is going on with you and the colt? ”

"Because I haven't given birth for a few years after I entered the door, Mrs. Tai wants to find someone to give birth to the pony, but I don't want to." Princess Anping replied briefly.

"This ......" In fact, Chen Yuantai has long been clear, he has been hanging Princess Anping for so long, he also wants her to calm down herself, think about it clearly, but he didn't expect his daughter to still have such a rigid attitude.

"But it's not a long-term solution for you to live in Cining Palace like this, what are your plans? Let's hear it. ”

Princess Anping remembered Du Mingxin's words, since she decided that she didn't want to be wronged for a lifetime, it was better to beg her father for love......

"I don't want the colt to have children with the woman next to me, I want him to be the only one for the rest of his life." Princess Anping said categorically.

Chen Yuantai frowned deeply, and he muttered: "Throughout the ages, there has been no rule that prohibits concubines...... Although the princess is married, she is not a son-in-law. What's more, what the Lin family said is not a concubine, right? ”

Princess Anping lowered her eyelids and said nothing.

Chen Yuantai sighed, and comforted him with kind words: "If the horses come randomly, my father naturally has no reason to stand by and watch you be wronged. However, this time it was the Lin family who took the righteousness, even if I was the king and he was the courtier, I didn't see the reason for his family to be the heir......"

"Anping, being an emperor doesn't mean that you can say anything and do anything......"

"Erchen understood." Princess Anping still had no expression on her face. She got up and saluted Chen Yuantai and said goodbye: "I'm afraid that the Queen Mother is still waiting for me to go back, so the sons and daughters will retire first." ”

"Stop." Chen Yuantai said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you understand?" ”

Princess Anping endured the loss in her heart, squatted down and blessed, and said: "Erchen understands that my father wants me to raise my eyebrows with the concubine, listen to Mrs. Tai's words, give the concubine a few concubines, open up branches and leaves for the Hou Mansion, and gain a good reputation for the royal family." ”

"You!" Chen Yuantai only truly realized at this time that children are the debts of their parents' previous lives. "You have an awkward temperament, but you really look like your mother......"

"Really?" Princess Anping asked softly.

"If it is not as she wants, she will answer me so bluntly. I understand the reasoning, but in the end, it's against me......" Chen Yuantai said helplessly.

"If Mother is still around, what do you think she will let her son do?"

Chen Yuantai looked at his daughter's disgraced face, and he couldn't bear it after all. "That's it, I'll call the concubine to talk tomorrow, you are all still young, where are you in such a hurry, let's talk about the concubine later."

Princess Anping's heart relaxed slightly, but thinking of the attitude of Mrs. Lin and Lin Lang, she couldn't help but ask, "What if there are still no children in a few years?" ”

Chen Yuantai said helplessly: "It always depends on whether it is your problem or the problem of the colt." If the concubine enters the door and there are no heirs, then it is a matter of the concubine, and you can be less reprimanded. If the concubine has a child at that time, you will always be close to you if you keep it by your side. Whether it's me or the prince ascending the throne in the future, I won't let the concubines of the concubines kill their wives and concubines, you just have to rest assured. ”

"Erchen knows." Princess Anping was completely discouraged, and after hurriedly saluting Chen Yuantai, she left the Qianqing Palace.

Chen Yuantai looked at his daughter's back, remembered Zhou, who was also stubborn, and shook his head vigorously, wanting to throw people out of his mind.

A few days later, the news that Dayan was going to build the imperial tomb had spread, but the second master Du had boarded the door of the Jin Palace's mansion at this time.

"Why isn't Chen Xi here?" He sat down in the main house, took a sip of the hot tea offered by the maid, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea! Why don't you send some to your father! ”

"Didn't you say you only like to drink hairy tips?" Du Mingxin didn't have a good face when he saw the second master, and said coldly.

"Chuncao, give me two catties and bring it back." The second master didn't care about Du Mingxin's tone, and only ordered Chuncao with a bright smile.

"Yes." Chuncao glanced at Du Mingxin, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she agreed to go out.

"I heard that your uncle's family gave birth to a girl?" The second old man smiled, "I didn't expect him to be such a strong man, and he is not very good in terms of heirs!" ”

Du Mingxin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and only asked, "What is the matter with your coming over today?" ”

"I'm coming to my daughter's house to have a look, why aren't you welcome?" The second master seemed to be in a good mood, "As soon as I come, let me tell you, I won't go to your uncle's full moon wine, he will see me like a black-eyed chicken, I don't want to give up myself to make face for him!" ”

"Whatever you want."

"But our Du family can't shorten the number of ceremonies, anyway, Brother Kun received a lot of gifts when he was full moon, you pick a string of longevity locks, gold collars or something from it, and write my name on the seal."
