Chapter 25 A Concubine Selection Banquet for You
"Quick, go and prepare hot water for your Highness...... and change clothes," a little eunuch took the order and galloped away.
"Wind. ”
The queen looked at her eldest son, who was already a head taller than herself, and besides being a little haggard, he now looked like a healthy man, and her heart was full of relief.
But this son, who she has been holding in her hands since she was a child, is afraid of falling, and she is afraid of melting in her heart, she has always been so well-behaved and obedient, how can she be so ignorant today?
Her heart was full of doubts.
"Tell the queen mother, what happened?"
"Queen Mother...... "Monsoon cleared his throat, "I just want to see the peach blossom scenery there." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the others with a strong warning, he didn't want the queen mother to know the true reason, it was a very dangerous thing for Peach Blossom.
Everyone flinched, knowing that some secrets could only be buried in their hearts, and this was the way to survive in this palace.
“...... Okay," the queen's expression froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, "Don't go back in the future, it's not good for you." ”
Her eyes were full of kindness as she looked at Monsoon.
"Erchen...... Got it......"
Monsoon's voice was slightly gruff, as if the machine had fallen into disrepair and lacked lubrication.
The queen stretched out her hand to caress the hair of the upper monsoon, and she used to like to caress the little head of the wind and whisper something softly.
But halfway through the hand, it stopped.
She remembered that he was stained with peach blossom pollen all over his body, and this caress could not make the pollen fly, so she had to give up.
Hey, Feng'er has grown up, but the distance between him and herself seems to be getting farther and farther away.
If there are really only two years left, what else can I do for him in these two years?
Everyone admires her dignity, but who can feel her eighteen years of fear......
As a mother, no matter how noble your status is, your love for your child is the same.
If she could, she would rather exchange this unparalleled dignity for her Feng'er's health.

"Little Zhuozi, tell me, what's going on?"
When the monsoon went in to bathe and change clothes, the queen asked mercilessly.
How could she believe that he just wanted to see the peach blossoms, and if he just went to see the peach blossoms, how could he let people arrange food every day?
So who was he hiding there?, a trace of concern crossed her brow.
What kind of person made him go to see him at the risk of his life?
And if you are a prince, he can summon the other party to the Qinglong Palace to meet him, is the other party unwilling?
Don't...... Is it a woman?
The queen's brows furrowed, "Don't tell me the truth!"
"This ......" Xiao Zhuozi lowered her head nervously and replied with a slight trembling, "The slave doesn't know ......"
"I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" the queen's voice suddenly became fierce.
"Minions...... Minion ......"
Xiao Zhuozi was a "slave" for a long time, but he didn't dare to say half a deceitful word.
The queen looks gentle on weekdays, but everyone knows that her gentleness is only for Her Highness, and even Her Second Highness can't enjoy her gentleness.
Now that they had put her most dear son in danger, not a single harsh word she said would be a joke.
She's really going to kill them!
"Don't say it yet!"
She glanced at Xiao Zhuozi, who was trembling, and slowed down her tone, "You said it truthfully, I won't pursue this matter today, if not." ”
She glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs in the room with their heads bowed and trembling.
"You don't have to stay here in the whole palace anymore, since you can't even take care of the master's safety, what's the use of keeping you?"
“...... I say...... I said......" Xiao Zhuozi cried and came, "Your Highness is going to find a palace maid named Peach Blossom." ”
He simply summoned it all in one go.
"Palace maid?" the queen's tone rose several tones.
His proud son didn't even want his life for a little palace maid!
Her heart was extremely annoyed.
How could he? How could he?
He is the future royal father, how can his grandson let a palace maid be born!
That will be the ruler of the whole land in the future, how can there be a mother with such an unbearable identity!
Absolutely not!
"Yes...... It's ......"
Xiao Zhuozi's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and the others didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being accidentally angered.
"Where is this palace maid now? Take her to Ziwei Palace, I want to meet her. ”
To be able to charm her style like that, I'm afraid she has to have that peerless appearance, and her scheming must not be simple, she has to understand it clearly first.
She knows this son too well, and her appearance seems to be gentle, but once she decides that she can't turn back a few cows, she can't rush this matter hard.
"Minions...... I don't know where she is," Xiao Zhuozi replied cautiously, "The peach blossom has been gone for several days, and His Royal Highness is also here to find her today......"
Disappeared? Was it kidnapped?
Still is...... Want to get away with it?
"How could she leave?"
"Slaves don't know ......"
The queen gradually calmed down, and since the man was no longer here, everything was easy.
It seems that she still has to hurry up and settle the matter of choosing a concubine for Feng'er.
When he gets married, he will naturally forget about the palace maid called Peach Blossom.
She sighed and stepped forward to sit down.
"Your Highness has seen the scrolls of those noble ladies lately?"
She glanced up at Takuko.
Xiao Zhuozi was very insightful, and he had already poured a cup of fragrant tea the moment the queen sat down, and handed it over at this moment.
Well, the queen nodded with satisfaction, but she was already a little dry at the fire just now.
This little Zhuozi is still very discerning in serving people, and it would be better if he could do things more safely.
failed to stop his master, that is, he was not capable enough!
In the middle of his thoughts, his eyes became fierce again.
"Look, look. ”
Xiao Zhuozi panicked and covered up for His Royal Highness.
In fact, His Royal Highness, how can he have seen any noble girl's painting scroll, the painting scroll is seen every day, but all he sees is the painting scroll of peach blossoms painted by himself.
"It's just that there are too many scrolls, and I haven't been able to finish reading it yet...... "Anyway, let's get through this level first."
"Uh-huh......" the queen nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing it means that the woman has not yet reached an irreplaceable position in his heart, and everything is okay.
The queen herself was a person she had loved, and naturally knew how much difference there was between this irreplaceable love and ordinary love.
"The queen mother is still there?"
After the monsoon bathed, he changed into an off-white brocade robe and came out. I was a little surprised to see my mother sitting upright in the hall.
"The queen mother will accompany you more. ”
The queen beckoned to him and asked him to sit down beside her.
"Feng'er, have you seen the paintings of those noble ladies recently?"
She looked at Monsoon with soft eyebrows, and she didn't see the cruel look just now.
"Ahem", Xiao Zhuozi looked nervously at Monsoon.
"Well, Erchen is watching," Ji Feng replied casually, "but there are too many, and Erchen has limited energy, so he is a little slow to watch." ”
It was the same as Xiao Zhuozi's answer, and the queen was relieved.
"Don't worry, Feng'er, take your time, which one you like, tell the queen mother first, the queen mother can arrange for her to enter the palace for you to meet. ”
"Mother, I don't want to be in such a hurry......"
"How can you not be in a hurry, you are already eighteen. "The queen cut off the monsoon's words.
Everything else is up to him, but not this one.
She knew that he was because of his body, and he didn't want to affect those women, but this was a matter of Jiangshan Sheji, how could she be benevolent to women.
And if a woman gives birth to the future overlord of the world, even if she is widowed for a lifetime, she will get the honor of her own life and the honor of her entire family!
If they knew, how many women would flock to it, which is why she and the king kept this secret from being revealed.
She didn't want too many intrigues and calculations around Feng'er.
She glanced at the others in the hall and coldly ordered, "You all go out." ”
Then she turned her head and looked at Monsoon Breeze faintly, and this time she finally reached out and stroked his hair.
"The queen mother can rely on you for everything else, but this matter is not negotiable. You are the first son of me and your father, and the country needs to be extended by you, Feng'er, can you understand our painstaking efforts?"
Monsoon looked at her with a shocked expression.
He always thought that his father just couldn't bear to make his second brother the crown prince while he was still alive, but after all, this throne would still be his.
But now, the queen mother told him that the country needs to be extended by him, so what should the second brother do?
"Queen Mother's ......"
He couldn't speak for a long time, he was not worthy of his second brother in his heart.
He didn't know why his father and queen mother would decide like this, he would rather pass on the throne to his son than to Ji Yu, he felt that he owed him more.
"What about the second brother?" he finally asked.
The mother and son looked at each other, and the hall was silent.
Ji Yu, that son, she is destined to live up.
The queen didn't answer him, "Three days later, you choose some eye-catching portraits of noble girls, send Xiao Zhuozi to Ziwei Palace, and the queen mother arranges a concubine banquet for you......"
After that, she stopped looking at Monsoon, stood up and walked out, "The queen mother is tired, go back and rest first." ”
Whether he accepts it or not, this concubine selection banquet is imperative, and it has to be before the palace maid named Peach Blossom appears again.
By the way, she also has to find out where this palace maid is.
