The person who followed the prince found out that he had entered the regent's palace, so he immediately reported the prince's whereabouts to the emperor, and the emperor guessed that he was going to report to Chen Yuanxi.

"This is my good son! Elbows turned outward, betraying me and rebelling with outsiders, where can I not stand him, he wants to treat me like this! This is a good son taught by the imperial concubine! The emperor sneered angrily, Puyang Haoyue is still his temporary preferred candidate to inherit the throne, he doesn't want to keep provoking his bottom line!

"What is Su Qing? has been threatening the rule of the Puyang royal family, and sooner or later I will solve this big problem! Chen Yuanxi's shameless person actually dared to seduce the prince, and for this alone, I could put her to death! But my son protected her and threatened me for her! The emperor couldn't help but be full of anger when he thought that the prince, who had always been obedient and obedient, would actually disobey himself for Chen Yuanxi.

"Someone!" The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart, his face was cold and heavy, and he threw down the inkstone in front of him with a cold and heavy face, and when he heard the sound, he pushed the door from outside and entered a eunuch, "Tell me these words to the imperial concubine, let her better control the prince, if she can't control the prince, then I will remove the crown prince of Puyang Haoyue, and she will no longer have to be the prince's concubine!" ”

After the eunuch left, the emperor was still sitting on the red chair in the imperial study with his eyes closed, and the look of the gloomy owl on his face was undiminished, and the imperial concubine who was embroidering in the palace saw the people around the emperor coming, and hurriedly ran over to meet him.

The eunuch relayed the emperor's words to the imperial concubine word for word, and the imperial concubine suddenly had a delicate face with panic after hearing this, and her heart was full of anxiety and worry, and she was so frightened that she almost fainted to the ground, but fortunately, she was supported by the palace maid beside her.

"Niangniang, forgive the old slave for saying more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be angry with the emperor for this, the emperor is still the emperor after all, His Royal Highness the Prince Prince's sympathy for the princess regent, but he can't disobey the emperor for this, the princess regent's low status is not liked by the emperor, but His Royal Highness the prince is ......"

The eunuch said entangledly, the imperial concubine is still favored among many concubines, but she can't turn over because of the prince, if the imperial concubine can discipline the prince well in the future, then the mother will be expensive by virtue of the son, and the imperial concubine will become the queen mother, and he will naturally not lose any benefits.

"Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, my father-in-law has worked this trip, please invite my father-in-law to drink tea for this point, and please don't dislike my father-in-law!" With a grateful look on her face, the imperial concubine hurriedly took off the jade bracelet in her hand and secretly stuffed the jade bracelet to him, and the eunuch accepted it generously without shirking.

After the eunuch left satisfied, the imperial concubine immediately summoned Puyang Haoyue into the palace, Puyang Haoyue also thought that the imperial concubine was looking for her in a hurry, so she quickly entered the palace and saw that the imperial concubine was safe and sound, so she put her mind at ease: "Mother, do you have something important to find your son?" ”

"They said that you disobeyed the emperor for Chen Yuanxi, Su Qing put a lot of thought into your position in the East Palace, these concubines all know, if you want to protect the princess regent, then you have to look at the situation, how can you turn against the emperor? You're going to me off! The imperial concubine couldn't help but burst into tears when she looked at Puyang Haoyue, and her eyes were full of blame and resentment.

"Mother, the son shouldn't let you worry, it's just that although the regent is alive now, he hasn't come back in the end, I know that Chen Yuanxi is the person he loves the most, if I don't protect her, I will definitely be blamed when he comes back!" And she is the same sister as Qingwan, so I have to protect it even more! Puyang Haoyue's face was also a little bitter, afraid that the mother concubine would be affected by herself.

"Today, the emperor sent someone to pass the word, he said that if you are so ignorant, the emperor will remove you as the crown prince, so even if you want to protect the princess regent, then you must be cautious, don't be caught, now Puyang Haokun is the biggest hidden danger for you to sit on the throne, I am afraid that he will be released by the emperor!"

The imperial concubine sighed worriedly, and Puyang Haoyue pondered because of his words, and finally made a decision, since ancient times, it is not impossible to fight for the throne, so in order for him and his mother to live safely and richly, someone must become a stepping stone for him to ascend the throne.

"Mother, instead of waiting for Puyang Haokun to be released to harm us, it is better to take the initiative now to prevent future troubles!" Puyang Haoyue pondered for a long time, and finally knelt down on the knees of the imperial concubine and whispered.

"My son has finally opened his mind! The mother concubine can climb to this position, just want to fight for the throne for you, but you have been taking care of brotherhood before, and you don't take the words of the mother concubine to heart at all, you say that you have a way to sit on the throne, but if you don't attack them, then you are waiting for them to attack you! The imperial concubine looked at Puyang Haoyue with a look of relief.

Puyang Haoyue began to prepare, this matter was extremely important to him, and there was no room for mistakes, so he was ready to start this matter himself. took advantage of the night to disguise himself as a guard and sneaked into the prison where Puyang Haokun was imprisoned, although he was faintly apprehensive in his heart, but he was more resolute.

"Puyang Haokun, it's time to go, you should also hit the road!" Puyang Haoyue was wearing the clothes of a guard, with a ruthless killing intent in her eyes, looking at Puyang Haokun, who was calm but still a little vicissitudes in the prison, smiled coldly.

"You want to kill me?" Puyang Haokun looked at him with a sneer, as if he had heard a joke, his face was a little gloomy, and there was no fear in his eyes, "If it weren't for Su Qing helping you behind these years, do you think you would be able to sit firmly on the throne of the prince?" Puyang Haoyue, where did you get so much courage to be arrogant in front of me? ”

"Then you might as well try and see if you can survive tonight!" Puyang Haoyue was about to kill him, but was stopped by the emperor's people in time, Puyang Haoyue panicked and was taken away by the emperor's people.

"Puyang Haokun, I will definitely kill you!" Puyang Haoyue was taken out of the prison by the guards and sent to the emperor, and when he left, he glared at Puyang Haokun behind him hatefully, and then he figured out that he was calculated by the emperor, and he was surprised for a while.

"Father, my sons don't understand, you forced me to attack Puyang Haokun, why did you stop me just now?" Puyang Haoyue had a feeling of being played, and suppressed the anger in her heart and asked.

"If I don't force you to make a decision, do you want to be so cowardly as the crown prince? If you can't be ruthless, how will you secure the throne in the future? The emperor explained with a cold face.

In order to express respect for the foreign envoys, the emperor once again invited foreign envoys to a banquet, accompanied by officials above the third rank in the court, the palace was busy again for a while, the imperial concubine wanted to help the prince please the emperor, so the banquet was held extraordinarily grand, the banquet was very satisfying to the foreign envoys, and the emperor also had a smile on his face.

"Who is holding the banquet this time?" The emperor put down the wine glass in his hand and asked in a good mood, the imperial concubine glanced at Puyang Haoyue under the palace, and then attended the salute, with joy on her delicate and graceful face.

"Back to the emperor, this time it should be the queen mother who is responsible for holding it, but the queen mother is not feeling well, and the matter of holding the banquet falls on the concubine, is it that the concubine has not done it well? If the concubine is dull and can't do anything, please ask the emperor to punish her. ”

The imperial concubine said this, but there was a faint joy in her heart, looking at the emperor's mood now, if she could say two good words for Puyang Haoyue, then presumably the emperor would not worry about the previous things with the prince as soon as he was happy.

"No, you're doing great! You have always been calm and delicate, and I really didn't see the wrong person! The emperor looked at the delicate imperial concubine under His Royal Highness, with a sense of approval in his heart, "Come on, reward the imperial concubine with a pair of jade ruyi, and a jade Guanyin!" ”

"Thank you for your grace!" The imperial concubine couldn't hide her joy and returned to the table, Puyang Haoyue heard that her mother was praised, and there was a smile in her eyes, watching the imperial concubine whisper a few words in the ear of the palace maid, and the arranged song and dance were offered.

On the hall of singing and dancing, the dancers with beautiful makeup danced to their heart's content and danced the dances that had been rehearsed dozens of times, and the emperor and all the courtiers were quite attentive to watching the singing and dancing.

"What's wrong? To make this dissatisfied with my Da Yuan's dance? The emperor couldn't afford to make waves, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and there was a slight questioning in his tone, and the imperial concubine's face was a little unsightly for a while, but she personally chose this dance for them to dance, if something went wrong......

"Your Majesty, your dancing is too restrained, and the dancers are not enthusiastic and open enough!" The envoy of Xi Chu said it directly, and the emperor was obviously a little displeased when he heard it, and he was angry at the ignorance of the envoy of Xi Chu, but Pu Yang Hao suddenly stood up and looked at the envoy of Xi Chu with a smile.

"Then why don't you invite Xi Chu to let us see the dance of Xi Chu and see how enthusiastic and open the dancers of Xi Chu are!" Puyang Haoyue noticed the sudden change in the face of the imperial concubine, and there was a faint dislike in her heart, her tone was a little cold and strange, and there was some irony in her words.

"Let you see it, in fact, this dancing girl is also a gift from our Xichu to your Great Yuan Majesty, I hope Your Majesty can like it!"

Xi Chulai clapped his hands casually, and a scantily dressed dancer came out from outside the side hall, wearing enchanting and charming makeup, with a delicate and good-looking sachet pinned to her waist, and golden bells on her hands and feet.

The emperor looked at this hot and unrestrained dance, the dancing girl with a crisp chest and half-hidden smile has been with a seductive smile, boldly looking at the emperor's eyes, the dance is light and enchanting, different from Dayuan's dance, as soon as the dance is completed, she was directly called to the palace by the emperor, and the emperor took a fancy to her at a glance.
