Chapter 39: The Emperor's Hidden Meaning

"Big... Miss?" Xia Bing asked tentatively.

"Hmm... Two sisters, I can't sleep, can you play games with me?" In order to convince the two of them that they really broke their heads, Mingyue Ke grinned at the corner of his mouth and said in a childlike tone to the two.

Seeing Mingyue Ke like this, after the two sisters looked at each other, they were also relieved.

"Miss, it's too late, you go to bed first, let's play a game together tomorrow!" said Xia Bing, pressing Mingyue Ke on the bed with his hand, and quickly covered the quilt.

"The eldest lady must be obedient!" Xia Bing came out with a warm smile and coaxed Ming Yueke to say.

"Okay, let's play games together tomorrow, and now sleep obediently..."Mingyue Ke muttered, and pretended to fall asleep again.

Seeing that Mingyue Ke had already fallen asleep, Xia Bing's face instantly changed and became indifferent.

"Let's go, let's go back and rest. Xia Bing also stood up and stretched.

"The eldest lady is stupid, in the future, in this mansion, it will be the eldest lady who has the final say, we sisters, let's plan for ourselves as soon as possible. Xia Bing said coldly, and after speaking, he took the lead in pushing the door out.

Qiu Yu was still a little scared, swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and only quickly glanced at Mingyue Ke, who was still asleep on the bed, and immediately closed the door to catch up with her sister Xia Bing's footsteps.

After listening to the footsteps of the two of them and making sure that the two sisters had left, Mingyue Ke immediately got up from the bed.

began to rummage in the room, and what she was looking for was naturally the Taisu Nine Needles that came back from the prince.

In fact, it was not difficult to find, it was placed on the table in the flower hall, Mingyue Ke immediately opened the wooden box for inspection, and saw that the golden needles were still there, so he was relieved.

Subsequently, Mingyue Ke put away the wooden box containing the nine needles of Taisu and put it away, this thing may be of great use in the future.

After putting away the nine needles of Taisu, Mingyue Ke unconsciously began to pace in the room, and even came to the window, and opened the window.

Tonight, the moon is scarce, that person, will he still come?

Thinking like this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then closed the window tightly, and returned to the bed to sleep.

And Mingyue Ke naturally didn't notice that on the roof not far away, there was a figure of a person who appeared there, and he could take everything in Yuxin Garden into his eyes.

Xiao Shaojun still came to the Ming Mansion tonight, but before he got close to Yuxin Garden, he found that there were a lot of people gathered in the small courtyard, so he must have hidden in the dark and did not appear in a hurry.

On the way back to the Ming Mansion, Mingyue Ke panicked and went crazy, and now the entire imperial capital already knows about it, and it is impossible for Xiao Shaojun not to know it, so he is naturally a little worried in his heart.

But just watched from afar, and after knowing that she was fine, she was also relieved, thinking that she was also very tired today, so Xiao Shaojun just planned to wait and see from afar.

"Lord, the night is windy, and your body... Let's go back early. Hengshan appeared behind Xiao Shaojun, and then said to Xiao Shaojun with concern.

When he spoke, Hengshan also unconsciously looked at the main room of Yuxin Garden, where Mingyue Ke was located, but at this time, the doors and windows were tightly closed, Hengshan really didn't know, what was there to see?

But his master has been staring at it for so long!

Could it be that this is a man in love, who would do such a strange thing?

Hengshan didn't dare to think about it or ask more, but he was curious, and kept secretly looking at Xiao Shaojun.

Xiao Shaojun naturally discovered the abnormality of his subordinates, so he straightened his face and asked sharply, "Did you find anything about the things you investigated?"

"The coachman is dead, but he has found a large sum of gold of unknown origin in his house, and is still investigating the source of the gold. Hengshan bowed his hand and said to Xiao Shaojun.

"Check, you must find out who is behind the scenes. Xiao Shaojun said, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Finally, he looked back at that place, his hands were clenched in a circle, someone dared to do it secretly, he would definitely not let that person have a good time, no one should move Mingyue Ke!

After turning around, it disappeared into the black night in a few ups and downs.

Early in the morning of the second day, the matter of Ming Xiang's daughter-in-law, Ming's eldest lady Mingyue Ke's stupidity, had already spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

Yesterday, he only cared about Mingyue Ke's situation, but Mingxiang forgot to strictly prohibit it, let the people in the house discuss this matter, and even more strictly forbid it to spread the word.

But who would have expected that Mingyue Ke's stupidity would be known early in the morning.

Mingyue Ke also sneered in her heart when she heard those maids talking, she had long expected that this would be the situation.

There must be someone who deliberately wants to make this matter bigger, and this person, without saying much, can know that it must be the Bai family and tomorrow Weina's mother and daughter.

Because the bigger the trouble, once Mingyueke's reputation is ruined, the mother and daughter will feel that they are benefiting.

"The master is back! I've already made hot tea, let's go to Qianxinyuan to sit for a while." ”

At this time, Ming Xiang had just come back from the morning court, and he didn't have a good look on his face, so he only glanced at Bai, "I still have some things to do, another day." With that, Ming Xiang went directly in the direction of the study.

After Ming Xiang left, the Bai clan immediately put away the smile on Fang Cai's face, and coldly ordered the subordinates beside him, "Prepare the carriage and enter the palace." ”

She naturally entered the palace to meet her good cousin step-queen.

At this time, in the palace, the emperor came directly to the Anning Palace after the early dynasty.

At this time, with the Queen Mother, the two sat in the front hall of the Anning Palace.

The atmosphere of the Anning Palace was a little silent, because His Majesty was here in person, so the people of the Anning Palace were more strict than usual.

The faint smell of sandalwood wafting through the air from time to time also made the emperor's eyebrows much more relaxed.

Emperor Xiao Rui inadvertently looked up, and saw the little white between the queen's buns, and he remembered that he seemed to have not been to the Anning Palace for a long time to greet the queen mother.

I can't help but feel a little more guilty in my heart, and I say that there is a big regret in life that the son wants to be filial and his relatives are not there, and now his father, the emperor, is also in critical illness, and he still neglects his mother, which is really unfilial.

"You don't need to say much, your intentions are also known to the mourning family. The Queen Mother's face was also a little haggard, and she heard the news of Mingyue Ke's accident last night, so she also tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep.

"Emperor, you also know that Ke'er's relationship with the mourning family, she is the descendant of the mourning family's own sister, and it is impossible for the mourning family to ignore it. The Queen Mother sighed and said to her emperor's son Xiao Rui.

At this time, the Queen Mother also felt helpless, even though she was the mother of the world, she finally achieved the position of the Queen Mother, but so what?

But he can't even protect his loved ones outside the palace.

"Queen Mother, but Jun'er, after all, he is the prince of my northern departure. Emperor Xiao Rui also frowned, and began to persuade the Queen Mother, but he didn't know how to say it clearly.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, the Queen Mother naturally understood what he meant.

The crown prince marries the princess, which also involves the face of the royal family, if you really take a stupid princess back, I am afraid it will damage the royal face, not to mention, the prince is the prince, and the princess is the future queen, so it is even more resolute and not hasty.

After thinking of this, the Queen Mother also sighed again.

Seeing this, Emperor Xiao Rui continued to persuade the Queen Mother while the iron was hot, "Queen Mother, that Mingyue Ke is also the daughter of Mingxiang, although she has become stupid after this change, it is not difficult to find a good family." ”

"And Mingyue Ke is also the descendant of your sister after the queen mother, in terms of seniority, she can also be regarded as my niece, I can give a holy decree to accept her as a righteous daughter, crown her as a princess, and give her a princess's mansion, do you think it's so good?" It can be seen that Emperor Xiao Rui also made great concessions, and even agreed to make Mingyue Ke a princess.

And the Queen Mother's eyes also became sharp at this time, the world thought that the prince was sick and weak, and even the current saint was disappointed in the sick prince and ignored it, but now it seems that this is not the case.

If the emperor really ignores the crown prince, there is no need to persuade her to annul the marriage between the prince and Mingyue Ke.

Because if the emperor doesn't care about the crown prince and has no intention of letting the prince inherit the throne, even if he marries the stupid Mingyue Ke, what can he do?

The Queen Mother can be said to be the champion of the last palace fight, how could she not understand the significance of the emperor's actions?

Therefore, the emperor actually intends to let the crown prince inherit the throne, and it is precisely because the prince wants to inherit the throne that he cannot marry Ming Yueke.

In other words, there are two choices in front of the Queen Mother, and she is in a dilemma.

The two children are very loved by the Queen Mother, and they wanted to do a good deed, but they didn't know that such an accident would occur.

In the Palace of Tranquility, it fell silent again.

After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed again, "In this way, let's do what the emperor said." ”

The Queen Mother finally agreed to annul the decree of marriage as the emperor wished, which is not to say that the Queen Mother was biased towards the prince.

It's because she also thinks it's probably a better way.

Even if he does not have the identity of the crown princess, but as compensation, the emperor agrees to accept Mingyue Ke as a righteous daughter, and make her a princess, and even give the princess mansion, this compensation does not have to be much worse than the crown princess.

What's more, if Jun'er sits in that position in the future, she will not treat Ke'er badly, with the identity of the princess and the princess's mansion, Ke'er will have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of her life, so the Queen Mother chose to compromise.

"Then I'll make a decree when I get back. After persuading the Queen Mother, the emperor was not in a hurry to leave, so he gently picked up the tea in front of him, "I want to spend more time with my mother." ”

"It's okay, our mother and son may not have talked for a long time. After hearing what the emperor said, the Queen Mother swept away the tiredness on her face, and even the sadness revealed because of Mingyue Ke's incident was a little less.

However, at this time, I saw the palace people trotting all the way in.

"What's the matter?" the Queen Mother asked directly.

"Back to the emperor and the queen mother, the prince asked to see him, and he was already waiting outside the gate of Anning Palace. ”

The palace man said, and after speaking, he saw that the queen mother and the emperor also changed their faces.

You must know that the crown prince Xiao Shaojun never stepped out of the East Palace where he was on weekdays, but today, why did he take the initiative to come to the Anning Palace to find the Queen Mother? Is it because of Mingyue Ke.

Thinking of this, and then thinking of the body of the crown prince Xiao Shaojun, the emperor's heart was also irritable, so he said, "No, tell him to go back to recuperate by himself." ”

If the crown prince Xiao Shaojun's body could not be so sick and weak, he would not be like now, falling into a vacillating situation in the selection of an heir, the emperor thought, and sighed.

"Yes, Your Majesty. "The palace man received the order, and was about to go outside to make a report, but a voice came from outside the door of the antechamber.

"Why don't you see it?" The owner of this voice was the crown prince Xiao Shaojun, and he broke in directly without the consent of the emperor and the queen mother.
