In the number of years of ascending, not counting those princes and princesses who died at birth, not counting the ranking at all, the emperor now has eleven princes and fifteen princesses under his knees.

There are too many children to count, how can the emperor care about his grandchildren?

More importantly, Nan Minxing is more satisfied with the emperor than being the little prince of the Yuanhou than his grandson.

The fact that the emperor thought that he was in the prime of life, and that his grandchildren were in a group, even if he insisted, did not seem so real.

Moreover, the matter of establishing a crown prince is not considered by the emperor at all now. He didn't want the prince to have the calculation of this matter.

"It's just some rumors, the concubine is old, and she still believes everything. It's ridiculous. The emperor withdrew his gaze from Nan Minxing and looked at Lin Guifei again, "Don't make such a mistake next time." ”

"Yes. The concubine knew her mistake. When the emperor's words came to this extent, Concubine Lin could only admit her mistake with hatred.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that the emperor actually called her old.

Jealousy came up, and Concubine Lin couldn't help but glance at Concubine Zhen sitting there.

Concubine Zhen stretched out her hand to beckon the eleventh prince to her side, and was breaking fruit to feed the eleventh prince. In that gesture, she was simply showing off that she had a son.

Does it matter if she has a son, such a small child, what will happen in the future is still two words.

Without an adult prince, it is nothing. Thinking of this, Lin Guifei felt a little more comfortable.

Su Zhaoning led Nan Minxing to salute the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for rewarding your courtiers Lin'er." ”

The emperor was very satisfied with Su Zhaoning's eagerness to recognize Nan Minxing. The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has no support now, and it will indeed be much better to have a little prince. This woman is simple, and she is not stupid.

The emperor thought it was very good.

As soon as he thought about it, his gaze stayed on Su Zhaoning for a little longer.

Both the queen and the concubine took note of this. The two also looked at Su Zhaoning again.

Although this Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis has a delicate face, she should be slightly inferior compared to the purple and red in the palace. The queen was a little left in her mind.

Concubine Zhen once again guessed the emperor's thoughts.

She believes that this timely show of weakness by the Marquis of Dingyuan has indeed won a trace of favor from the emperor and avoided a bloody storm. But Concubine Zhen is more convinced that what the emperor is observing now is not a woman, but the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and even the four princes.

This woman is transparent, and the fourth child will not get much benefit in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. The emperor felt that Su Zhaoning had no reason or opportunity to help his fourth son seek the position of crown prince.

That's good.

The emperor turned his head and asked the queen: "Empress, the little prince is too young, so don't let him enter the palace as the prince's companion." However, the reward is still indispensable. Do you have any great ideas? ”

The empress met the emperor's gaze, thinking of the emperor's gaze resting on Su Zhaoning, she curled her lips and said, "The concubine thinks that Your Majesty may be able to help the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion again." ”

The emperor listened with some interest and asked, "How can I help?" ”

"Mrs. Hou, is that drunken immortal building the property of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion?" The queen asked Su Zhaoning.

When it came to the Drunken Immortal Tower, although Su Zhaoning's heart chuckled, it was not as apprehensive as before.

She replied truthfully: "It was the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building who came to the door, saying that it was run by her late husband." ”

The queen did not ask any further, but said to the emperor: "The concubine is the mother of a country and the mother of the emperors. The concubine knew the difficulties of the Marquis of Dingyuan. There is a way to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. ”

"The concubine thought that if she let the drunken fairy building send a proud dish into the palace today, His Royal Highness would give her name. Since then, this drunken immortal building is worthy of its name as the first restaurant, and Mrs. Dingyuan Hou does not have to worry about it anymore. The Empress asked the Emperor and said, "Does Your Majesty think it is feasible?" ”

"That's a good idea." The emperor liked this kind of thing of enjoying the people. He waved his big hand and said, "And the four treasures of the above room, when the time comes, I will give a plaque to the past." ”

"Courtier, thank Your Majesty for your grace." Su Zhaoning was busy thanking again.

With the emperor's imperial plaque, the person behind the idea of drunken Xianlou also has to think twice. Su Zhaoning felt that blessing and misfortune depended on each other.

Maybe it was the news that was passed quickly, but it didn't take long for the people from the Drunken Immortal Tower to wait outside the hall.

This time, it is said that it is Nan Qichen, the second master of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Nan Qichen's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he was ashamed of himself, so he asked the palace people to pass it on and let Su Zhaoning go out of the palace to get the food box.

The emperor allowed Su Zhaoning to go out.

Outside the hall, the little eunuch stood beside him, but Nan Qichen had no shadow.

"Mrs. Dingyuan, please come here with the slaves." The little eunuch said.

Because the emperor and queen were all waiting in the palace, Su Zhaoning was not afraid of the little eunuch's tricks, so he followed two or three steps.

I saw that around the corner, Nan Qichen was pacing back and forth with a box.

He now has trouble with his legs and feet, and his pacing is very ugly. But Nan Qichen did not stop, it can be seen that there is really something in his heart.

"Qichen." Su Zhaoning called.

Nan Qichen hurriedly walked over and handed the reward silver from his sleeve to the little eunuch.

After the little eunuch walked to the side, Nan Qichen lowered his voice and said to Su Zhaoning: "Sister-in-law, when I entered the palace, I met the concubine Niangniang, and she reminded me that there was a problem with this pastry. ”

"Sister-in-law, do you have a silver hairpin on your head, why don't you try it first?" Nan Qichen proposed.

Su Zhaoning opened the food box and saw that there was a box of prepared pastries inside.

She frowned and said, "Xi Concubine Niangniang? I didn't see any other concubines in the Queen's Palace, except for Concubine Lin and Concubine Zhen. How did this lady know that you were going to the palace to deliver pastries? I'm afraid there is fraud in it. ”

Nan Qichen replied: "I am also skeptical. But this matter is very important, if the concubine Niangniang is not lying and poisons His Majesty, it is a big crime of the nine clans! ”

"Now I have no choice, so I used the money to ask the little eunuch to call your sister-in-law out first, hoping to have a solution." Nan Qichen was very worried, and he unconsciously repeated, "I was negligent." I heard the shopkeeper Chen say that the pastry chef is a country man, who has an excellent character on weekdays, and is an honest person. So I didn't even think about checking the pastries. ”

"How can a villager in Nanmiao Village have the idea of killing a king?" Nan Qichen was relieved when he saw Su Zhaoning pull out the hairpin and try a piece of pastry, "You really lied to me." This concubine can't be taken seriously. ”

Nanmiao Village? Su Zhaoning felt that this place was very familiar.

But at the moment she is more concerned with another issue.

Su Zhaoning asked, "How does Qichen know the palace concubine?" Concubines should not attend court banquets. ”

In addition to the queen, only the favorite concubines above the concubine rank are eligible to attend with the emperor. Concubines, there really shouldn't be a chance to see a foreign man.

Su Zhaoning is worried about this, you are a calculator.

Nan Qichen replied: "The concubine Niangniang was sent to the palace by the eldest princess of Chaoyang. So I had seen her in the Chaoyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, so I knew her. ”

"Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, if you don't deliver this meal, I'm afraid it's going to be cold." The little eunuch came over and urged.

Although he received the money, the people waiting inside were the emperor and the empress. Nor did he dare to exchange his life for silver.

Su Zhaoning nodded, and then told Nan Qichen: "Since you have sent the pastries, go back quickly." ”

"I'm waiting in the palace for my sister-in-law and Minxing to go back together." Nan Qichen replied.
