The prince pursed his lips, revealing a hint of his inner struggle.

"Several gentlemen in the East Palace have told me the same thing," he said slowly after a while, "but the eyes of the full palace are all staring at the Kunning Palace and the East Palace. The ministers of the foreign court only knew that they took me and my mother to persecute my father, but my father ignored it at all and blindly forced ......"

The crown prince turned around, his eyes flashing with tears, "Second brother, I'm really sad in my heart!" ”

Chen Xi was a little surprised, this was the first time that the prince had been so emotionally exposed in front of him.

The ten-year-old child, who is about to be as tall as Chen Xi's chest, is usually always flat and stable, quite a prince's demeanor, but now it is more appropriate to his age, and he is a dazed child.

"I think selfishly, in the emperor's heart, this is just a wish for himself and that woman." Chen Xiwen said, "It actually has nothing to do with you. If you think about it, the emperor's own sons are only you and King Yu, who is more suitable to be the prince, this is a self-evident thing! ”

"I'm not worried that my father is going to depose the crown prince......," the prince shook his head, "it's just that he insisted on doing so knowing that it would embarrass me and my mother...... Is it in his heart that that woman is more important than me and the queen mother? ”

Chen Xi was silent.

She ...... It's Qian Zhaorong, right? The prince asked hesitantly.

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out why the prince was so worried.

Qian Yulan was favored as soon as she entered the palace, although she lost the dragon fetus inexplicably, she was blessed by misfortune, and she was even more pity from Chen Yuantai. If the extra joint burial seat was left for her by Chen Yuantai, and she gave birth to the prince in the coming day, I am afraid that this will be used by people with ulterior motives.

Even if the prince said that he didn't care about the title, but the descendants of the Heavenly Family were not a matter of sharing some family wealth, and it was the best outcome for the loser to end up in a secluded trap.

"Although the emperor didn't tell me, I don't think that woman is Qian Zhaorong. It is not known whether she may not even be in the palace or if she has died. Chen Xi said, otherwise Chen Yuantai's eyes would not be so melancholy and longing when he talked about the woman, and there was some sadness.

"Really?" The prince breathed a sigh of relief, he trusted Chen Xi very much in his heart.

"Have you noticed that the emperor still likes to be honest with him the most." Chen Xi smiled, "Instead of thinking like this, it's better for you to talk to the emperor about these troubles in your heart......

"I'm afraid that my father thinks that I am too interested in the identity of the crown prince, and it will make him even more angry......," the prince said aggrievedly.

Chen Xi smiled helplessly, the relationship between the king and the prince has always been intimate but with a little subtle embarrassment, although they are father and son, it is not easy to be ten percent close.

"Let's go! When you are tired, you will naturally forget all these stuffy things! Chen Xi said with a smile.

The prince looked at Chen Xi and nodded vigorously.

After returning to the East Palace to bathe, the prince sat on the kang table and let the palace people twist his hair.

Recalling Chen Xi's words of consolation, the prince suddenly decided to go to Kunning Palace.

Since the relationship between the father and the queen mother is as cold as ice, then he will go and melt this piece of ice!

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't sit still. He hurriedly ordered someone to come and wait for him to change his clothes, and then he rushed to Kunning Palace with people.

"When did you come out with such a quick temper?" In Kunning Palace, when the queen saw that the prince's hair was still wet, she hurriedly asked her to give birth to a charcoal basin and put it next to the prince, and she took a large square towel to dry her son's hair herself.

"What time is it?" The prince asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it's a moment of unitary time." The palace man replied respectfully.

"You just stay here for dinner, what do you want to eat?" The queen asked with concern, "I'm going to run a horse in the afternoon, drink some soup to replenish my body, and eat less meat, I'm afraid you won't digest it at night." ”

"Well, I want to eat Longjing shrimp, shredded eel, and stewed chicken with bamboo fungus!" The prince laughed.

"Okay, I'll do it for you!" The queen's heart was overflowing with joy, her son had not spoken to her in such a coquettish tone for a long time.

She was about to get up and go to the small kitchen to give instructions in person, when the prince spoke again: "Queen Mother, let's invite our father and emperor to come over for dinner too?" The last time I dined with my father was during the Chinese New Year! ”

The queen hesitated, turned around and smiled at her son: "Your father and emperor have been going to Jingren Palace for the night in recent days, and I am afraid that this hour has already gone." Let's send someone to invite it like this, it looks petty. ”

"No," the prince said with a smile, "I already sent someone to ask when I came here just now, my father is still in the Qianqing Palace!" Go and send someone to please! ”

The queen looked at her son's happy face and couldn't bear to brush his mind. can let her eat at the same table with Chen Yuantai, she feels that she can't eat at all.

However, if Chen Yuantai comes to eat...... The queen remembered the paper bag that Gao Yang sent her a few days ago.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." The queen beckoned Gui Yue over, "You go to the Qianqing Palace in person, and say that the prince and I invite the emperor to come up for dinner, and the meal has already been prepared." ”

Gui Yue took the order to go out, and soon came back with a smile on her face, and said, "The emperor said that he knows, and he will come when the few books in his hand are finished." ”

The queen nodded, and when she looked at her son's happy appearance, her heart was sour again.

No matter how calm he usually is, after all, he is still a half-grown child, where is there anyone who doesn't want to be close to his father?

It's a pity that Chen Yuantai is here, and the life of our mother and son is also a little sad!

With this in mind, the queen did not hesitate. Walked to the makeup dress, opened the bottom drawer, pinched the cotton paper bag in the palm of his hand, and turned around to meet the prince looking here, with an inquiring gaze.

"Queen Mother, what's that?" The prince asked casually.

"You don't have to worry about things that don't matter." The queen's smile was a little flustered, and she was caught by the perceptive prince.

"Oh, then I'll go to the side hall and have a look. Last time I had a lunch break here, I dropped a book, and I sent someone back to look for it, but I couldn't find it. It's all a bunch of stupid minions. "The crown prince left the main hall before the empress.

The queen looked at her son's back and turned to the small kitchen located in the northwest corner of Kunning Palace.

The dishes that his son wants to eat are resolutely not allowed to put medicine, and the dishes next to him can't be kept in order for his son to eat, so it is safer to make something for Chen Yuantai alone.

After thinking about it, the queen instructed: "Take a stew cup to the pantry, and send some jade bamboo and ginseng, and I will personally stew a ginseng chicken soup for the emperor." ”

The palace people hurriedly agreed, and each went to get the ingredients with joy on their faces. The queen has the heart to rebuild the old friendship with the emperor, and they, the errand people of Kunning Palace, don't have to avoid the minions of Jingren Palace everywhere.
