On the second day of the second month of February, the day when the emperor of the Ming Kingdom ascended the throne.

The national teacher who observed the astrological signs for a month entered the palace on this day to face the saint.

The Emperor smiled lightly, "It's been a long time since I've seen the National Teacher come to me." ”

The national teacher bowed, "Your Majesty is capable, and there is stability and peace everywhere, of course, there is no need for the old minister to speak." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Then why did you come here this time?"

The national teacher sighed, "Your Majesty, why haven't you established a queen yet?"

The emperor smiled and asked calmly, "Is this just for this?"

"Your Majesty, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and yin and yang are born together, so that they are more prosperous. ”

The national teacher persuaded so.

"I know that the national teacher is the heart of the country. ”

The emperor said slowly: "However, now that it is a prosperous age, the situation has been established, and the concubines can fight for the throne, and then there are sons-in-law who can be honest?"

But this prince ...... And a sister-in-law......

The national teacher opened his mouth to say something, but thinking of the guidance he had received, he closed his mouth again and only sighed.

"Your Majesty's fatherly heart, the old minister knows everything, but Your Majesty should also think about the Queen Mother. ”

The national teacher said in his heart, where is the reason for the old mother to manage the women in her backyard?

The emperor was blinded.

Seeing this, the national teacher was deeply helpless, and he wanted to tell the emperor the results of his astrological observations in the past month, but since that day, he has decided not to divulge the heavenly secrets again.

After all these years, although he still hasn't embarked on the path of cultivation, he has also gained something, which makes him know that the heavenly secret should not be revealed.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and His Majesty is very capable, this is the last time the old minister will persuade Your Majesty. ”

The national teacher got up and saluted solemnly, hiding the helplessness and sadness in his eyes.

If the queen is not canonized, it will be too late, and after that, the Ming Kingdom will decline from the prosperous era, and the future of the prince will be as impenetrable as a fog, and the Ming Kingdom will go to the unknown.

Lonely yin is not born, only yang is not long, all things are negative yin and yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful.

This is what the founding empress once said, but Her Majesty turned a blind eye to the words of the old ancestor.

The tired national teacher slowly retreated, bowed again, and exited the palace.

The emperor was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

A few days later, it was the day when the emperor routinely examined the prince's homework.

But on this day, the emperor did not inquire about the homework, but asked after a moment of silence: "I have never asked, why are you so close to the ancient concubine?"

The crown prince was stunned and replied, "Concubine Gu is very good to her sons. ”

"People are very nice to you, too. "The emperor is very clear about what is going on in the harem.

The prince lowered his eyes and covered the ridicule in his eyes, he was the prince, of course they wanted to please him, only the ancient concubine......

"Sincere or not, Erchen can feel it. ”

The emperor was not convinced, "They are also sincere to you, I can see it." ”

This time, the prince couldn't hold back the ridicule in his heart, and Yu showed some on his face, and his tone was not so calm.

"Erchen, what you want is pure sincerity, not sincerity that is full of calculation and utilization. In Erchen's opinion, that is no longer sincere. ”

Only Concubine Gu, even if she has a childhood friendship, she never uses it and is always sincere to him.

The emperor looked at his eldest son and wanted to say to him, where can the royal family have pure sincerity? As a royal descendant, it is ridiculous to still try to be pure sincere.

However, thinking of the child's experience from childhood to adulthood, the emperor put away the words that had come to his lips.

After a long silence, the emperor asked, "Do you want a mother?"

The crown prince was already eight years old, and because he had taken Linglu for a few months when he was a child, he was extremely intelligent and clear-minded, and this question made him guess the emperor's intentions in the blink of an eye.

The prince's heart was suddenly shocked, this is to make Concubine Gu the queen.

However, it is now February, and in less than a month, Concubine Gu will leave the palace......

A thought grew in the prince's heart, and he raised his eyes to look at his father, and felt a little tightness in his throat.

The prince swallowed his saliva, endured the slightest itch in his throat, and said, "Erchen, I want a mother, otherwise, how could Erchen be close to Concubine Gu?"

"Aren't you afraid that another sister-in-law will come out and compete with you for the throne?"

The emperor's face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"The son has faith in his father. ”

The prince flattered, but he was thinking in his heart that if he gave up the throne in exchange for recognition with Xiao Niang, then whoever loves the throne wants it.

No matter how high the supreme power is, it can't match the mother's love for him.

It's not everyone who values power so much.

The crown prince is still too tender, and this disapproval on his face fell in the eyes of the emperor, so that the emperor didn't know whether to be happy with the eldest son's trust, or to be sad that the eldest son didn't tell the truth.

"Go down. ”

After the prince left, he unconsciously walked to the vicinity of Gu Ming's palace, and looked at the palace gate, he stopped.

Recalling Concubine Gu's kindness to him and her sincerity to him, the prince felt sorry in his heart.

After stopping and staring for a long time, he turned and left.

Less than ten days before Gu Ming's "death", Gu Ming's palace ushered in a distinguished figure - the emperor.

Gu Ming was surprised, according to past experience, the emperor shouldn't have come over at this time, what happened?

Hiding the suspicion deep in his heart, Gu Ming greeted the emperor.

The emperor looked at Gu Ming carefully and seriously, "You have lost weight. ”

Gu Ming smiled lightly and said nothing, and only welcomed the emperor into the house.

After the two sat down, the emperor took a sip of tea and asked, "Why don't you want to give me a baby?"

I haven't been pregnant for several years, and although I haven't seen Gu Ming take birth control pills, the emperor doesn't believe that there is no catty in it.

Gu Ming was shocked by this straightforwardness, but in a blink of an eye, he was going to leave the palace anyway, and he was not afraid of offending the emperor, even if the emperor felt offended, he would not be angry with the families of the dead if he ruled the world with "benevolence".

Thinking so, Gu Ming said: "The concubine is a concubine, and she doesn't want her child to become a concubine." ”

is not born to the queen, and then the prince and princess, it is also a concubine.

The emperor's eyes condensed slightly, "Do you have the heart to be an empress?"

That's a big problem.

Gu Ming hurriedly got up and apologized, and defended himself: "The concubine is just a merchant girl, how can she have extravagant hopes? Your Majesty already knows the concubine's heart just by looking at the concubine's actions in the past few years, please don't slander the concubine." ”

The emperor's face softened, because of the prophecy of the national teacher, he had been paying attention to Gu Ming. In the past few years, she has not competed for favor, nor has she calculated with others, she is low-key, and she has acted a lot of tolerance, and she is indeed keeping her duty.

The emperor helped Gu Ming up, and his tone was gentle, "I know, I see it all." ”

After Gu Ming sat down again, he said in a slightly teasing tone: "I never knew that you also have some fierceness." ”

Gu Ming's body was a little stiff, didn't he stop being cautious at the thought of leaving the palace soon.

"I'll stay tonight, and you'll arrange dinner." ”

The Emperor's tone was very comfortable.

Gu Ming was shocked again, she got up, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is unwell today, do you see?"

The Emperor stared at her, the gentleness and closeness on his face fading away.

A quarter of an hour later, the emperor who had been swept away was gone, and Gu Ming was relieved, and then looked forward to life after his death.

On February 28, a holy decree shocked the world.

Appointed Concubine Gu as the queen.
