Feng Lanxi looked at her calmly and said, "Could that position belong to me?" Your point of view is too untenable! ”

"Because now you are the highest-ranking imperial concubine in the palace, and you are also the most trusted person by Your Majesty, except for you, I am afraid that the other sisters have no hope of winning it!" Xiao Muhan said, "Although Luo Qiyue gave birth to the second princess, because of her clone identity, the opposition from the court and China must be not small; Zhong Xuanying will not be accepted by the courtiers because of her brother's rebellion, let alone others! ”

"It's a pity that you once had the status of a concubine in the previous dynasty, which will become an irreparable defect for you, and you have no heirs, so ...... Even if Your Majesty has this mind, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get your wish! ”

The great wise man smiled slightly, changed to a more comfortable position to sit, and then said unhurriedly:

"You're right, because of my past, the position of the master of the middle palace will definitely not be mine! No matter how much favor I have, even if I am the de facto controller of the palace now, it is still an impossible luxury to live up to the name, and I myself have never thought of getting that position! ”

"Not necessarily!" Xiao Muhan stared at her and looked up and down, and suddenly said:

"I have a way to let you really get that position, as long as you promise me one thing!"

"How?" The great wise man smiled lightly, "Don't you be busy talking about it first, let me guess, it should be you who proposed to Your Majesty to pass Yun Qixuan to my knees, so that I have the most important bargaining chips, and it will also prompt Your Majesty to really make the decision to seal the queen!" That's it, right? ”

"As for what I want to promise you, it is nothing more than that I have to treat Yun Qixuan as my own in the future, and do everything I can to keep her position as the first heir, and help her inherit the throne smoothly in the future! Is that right? ”

Xiao Muhan looked at her in surprise: "I really can't hide it from you, yes, that's what I think!" As long as you can agree to this condition, so that Yun Qixuan will not be affected by me, and successfully ascend the throne one day in the future, it is okay for me to commit suicide now! ”

"In this way, you can be firmly on the throne of the phoenix as you wish, and with your mind, no one in this palace can compete with you! In the future, Yun Qixuan will succeed to the throne, and you will be the queen mother of the empire, and you will be extremely favored, and you will live up to this life! ”

However, what puzzled her was that the great wise man did not show half of his joy, but looked at her with some pity in his eyes:

"Do you think that the position of the queen is really so important to me? Without it, this life would not be able to go on? So much so that you have to gamble everything you have to fight? ”

"I'm a little confused about that!" Xiao Muhan said suspiciously, "Aren't you here here today for this?" What an honor it is to be in charge of the Middle Palace and the mother of the world! And the empire will soon unify the Star Sea, and at that time you will be the most noble woman in the entire Star Sea World, can't this make you tempted? ”

Feng Lanxi shook her head and asked gently, "Do you think that for the women in the palace, is His Majesty's favor important, or is the queen's position important?" ”

"This, of course it......" Xiao Muhan's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly bitterly:

"I see what you mean! Without His Majesty's favor, even if she has the status of a queen, this day is very sad, and she is not even as good as a favored palace maid! However, you don't have this problem now, as long as you want, this son will definitely belong to you! ”

"If I had to choose between the two, I'd rather not have that seat!" Feng Lanxi said indifferently, "Be content, I have already received enough favor from Your Majesty, if you still want to be dissatisfied, to fight for the position of the queen, and then for your children to fight for the position of the prince, how many years will I have to be busy calculating this and calculating that every day, and even in order to keep all this, I have to do many things that violate my conscience!" ”

"I've seen too much of this kind of intrigue and deceit, and I'm really tired of this kind of life! I don't want to be the second Zhu Zhaoyuan, all this is not what I want! ”

"However, your child can be the emperor in the future......" Xiao Muhan still had trouble understanding her thoughts.

Feng Lanxi sighed: "It sounds very tempting, but for a woman like you and me, what is the point? The best and best result is just to sit in the position of the queen mother until she dies of old age! Is it really worth it to gamble everything you have for this? ”

"And ......" she stared at Xiao Muhan and lowered her voice:

"Do you think that the princes and princesses who were born in the last few decades really have a chance to win the throne?"

Xiao Muhan was shocked, and then nodded with a wry smile: "You are still thoughtful, you are worthy of being a wise man, some things are too wishful thinking on my part!" ”

Feng Lanxi lowered her head and looked at the blood-silk phoenix-patterned jade bracelet on Hao's wrist, and said flatly: "Our Majesty is really too young, and he is the founder of the country, so he still has a long time in charge of the artifact!" Unless he takes the initiative to retire, how can these heirs born prematurely have a chance to ascend to the throne? ”

"Being a father is too strong, and life as a child will not be too easy! If you look at the history books, those kings who are too wise and martial, the first prince they set up, who can successfully ascend the throne? ”

"Prince Fusu of Qin Shi Huang, Prince Wei of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Prince Chengqian of Tang Taizong, Prince Zhu Biao of Ming Taizu...... Not to mention the enthronement of these princes, none of them can even get a good death! Even in the interstellar age, such examples are not uncommon! For example, the prince of Orofi of Emperor Philosis and the prince Ivan of the Gnasrock Empire were jealous of their father because they were too good and didn't know how to hide their edge, so they found a reason to kill them! ”

"That's why you decided not to wade into this troubled water, because this is a marathon of power struggles, and you have to be cautious, walk on thin ice, and manage with trepidation for decades, at most hundreds of years, and there are too many variables in between! Even with the cultivation of a god-level wise man, it is difficult to guarantee that he will have the last laugh! Right? Xiao Muhan looked at her with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

Feng Lanxi nodded slightly: "It's good if you understand!" I am already very satisfied with everything I have now, as long as I can capture His Majesty's heart, I will naturally live a leisurely life in the future, as for the rest, it has nothing to do with me! ”

"If I have an heir in the future, I will protect her to grow up, and then let His Majesty separate her and keep her away from the whirlpool of power in the imperial capital, as long as she follows the rules, she can naturally keep her life safe!"

"Sister, you have to understand that a woman who has three thousand favors in one will never end well, monopolizing all the favors is equivalent to monopolizing all the cause and effect, all the resentment, and then everyone in the entire harem will become my enemies! Am I just as good as I am to be able to stand up to everyone? ”

"So I don't argue about those, who is the queen of the empire, who is the prince, let Your Majesty make up his own mind about these issues!"

"Well, I see what you want! It's just," Xiao Muhan asked humbly, "I still don't understand, why did you intercede for me that day?" If it weren't for you, Your Majesty wouldn't have changed his mind easily, and it stands to reason that among the harem girls, you should be the one who hates me the most! Why do you have to speak for me? ”

Feng Lanxi said solemnly: "I'm not doing this for you, but for myself, and all the sisters in this palace!" ”

"This rebellion has had too much impact on His Majesty's temperament! Even our attitude towards us has changed slightly, and in the long run, maybe we will become unsympathetic like the emperor of the previous dynasty! That would be a disaster for all the sisters in the palace, so I have to find a way to stop this from happening! ”

"I plead for you, I just don't want Your Majesty to set this precedent of killing the queen, because once some things are started, they will have to do it in the future, and the psychological barrier will be much smaller! Moreover, as the founding lord of the country, any words and deeds of His Majesty will be recorded by the historians and become an important basis for future generations to decide certain things! So I did this to do something good for the sisters who came after! ”

Xiao Muhan was completely convinced: "I have to admit that you are indeed more qualified to sit in that seat than me, and even Fang Yuqing may not be as good as you!" If that guy Fang Xuling could have made you his queen at the beginning, the national honor of the Shuofeng Empire would not have been so easy to cut off! ”

"There is no need to say this, history cannot be assumed!" Feng Lanxi smiled, picked up the document, and leaned over the flame, watching it slowly turn into ashes in the flames.

"Although being in the imperial palace, it is inevitable to intrigue and compete for favor and jealousy, but I am still willing to make these things as few as possible, which is also Your Majesty's wish! So for whatever reason, this kind of thing shouldn't have appeared! "Moreover, I also believe that your heart for Your Majesty is unchanged, but it is just a moment of confusion, and your family is indeed too uneasy to cause today's situation!" ”

Xiao Muhan felt that her nose was a little sour, after all, there were still people in this palace who could understand her thoughts. These days, she has thought about dying more than once, but it is only because she is worried about Yun Qixuan that she has never made up her mind.

"So what is Your Majesty going to do with me? Now let's talk about it! The wish was granted, and she truly calmed down.

Feng Lanxi said: "Your Majesty still has some resentment towards you, so you will be imprisoned here all the time, of course, your life can be saved, and as long as you have daily necessities, it is still provided by the standard of the concubine!" As for the rest, I can't guarantee anything! ”

"This result is already much better than I imagined!" Xiao Muhan sighed, "And it's all because of your persuasion that Your Majesty will agree, right?" Well, one last thing, Yun Qixuan, she ......"

"You don't have to worry about this!" Feng Lanxi said with a smile, "Although your family is finished, with Your Majesty's temperament, he will never go to take another child to vent his anger!" Therefore, the princess's daily use and various treatments will not change! A few days ago, there was a snobbish chief chamberlain, because he made hands and feet on the clothes and jewelry provided for the princess, shoddy and gratuitous deductions, His Majesty was very annoyed when he found out, and immediately ordered him to be executed! What else do you have to worry about? ”

"Let's cultivate ourselves here! When I have the opportunity in the future, I will intercede with Your Majesty on your behalf! ”

……

Gnaslok Empire.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is back!"

In the Imperial Palace, the Prime Minister, Duke Brogarenen, said respectfully to the Emperor on the throne.

Ulionov IV looked much haggard, with sunken eyes and a scruffy beard, and was engaged in dealing with the twists and turns, when he heard the voice of the prime minister, he raised his head to look at him, and said with a blank face:

"It looks like you're looking good, and you must be quite comfortable in the future, let's talk about it! His Majesty the Cloud Emperor of the Starlight Empire, what harsh conditions did he offer? ”
