"So ······ it"

"But I'm in a hurry?"

In the afternoon of the next day, Changle Palace, Changxin Palace.

Hearing his mother Lu Pheasant's hesitant inquiry, Liu Le only smiled bitterly and shook his head, then moved his body towards Lu Pheasant again, and then gently put his arm on Lu Pheasant.

"Why is the queen mother anxious?"

"Even if it is to promote the growth of seedlings, I have never heard of such a method······"

The slightly joking reply also made Lu Pheasant a little embarrassed for a while, and turned his head sideways full of hesitation, looking at Liu Le's gaze, full of hesitation.

I saw Liu Le smile lightly again, and at the same time hugged the arm in his arms tighter.

"Why don't you think about it: it is a folk woman, who has also married for many years in twelve, three, and fourteenth and fifteenth to give birth to heirs."

"Even if there are occasional women who are thirteen or fourteen and are pregnant with Liujia, it is difficult to escape the fruits of childbirth and one corpse and two lives."

"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" also says: A woman is fourteen years old and the sky is coming, and the rear has the ability to extend the heir."

"Although she is a little older, she is only nine years old; It was the queen mother who issued a decree to force Her Majesty to stay in the pepper room at night, within the age of three or five, Yan'er, when it was difficult to give birth to a dragon and a phoenix? ”

Hearing Liu Le's words, Lu Pheasant also lowered his head stiffly, and his eyebrows were also slightly embarrassed.

Celestial decay, also known as 'decay water';

To be precise, Tian Huang refers to the first time that a woman 'decanates water'.

And Lu Pheasant, as a woman, especially a mature woman who has given birth to an heir, naturally knows the meaning of 'decay water' to women.

- Before Tianqi, women did not have the ability to get pregnant at all!

Not to mention that now, the nine-year-old queen Zhang Yan is a woman who has reached the age of marriage, or even exceeds the age of marriage, as long as she has not come to 'Tianqi', she still does not have the ability to pass on the heirs.

Thinking of this, Lu Pheasant realized his urgency, only his face stiffened, and he subconsciously hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Overnight stay in the pepper room?"

"In this way, in this matter, the emperor should have found Ah Le first?"

"Humph!"

"Such things in the palace are also due to the exit of his Dao?!"

Hearing the resentment in his mother's tone, and the intention to divert the topic very deliberately, Liu Le couldn't help but smile.

But the topic that was diverted by Lu Pheasant was pulled back again by Liu Le.

"What is this mother?"

"The first emperor gave birth to eight princes and dozens of princesses, but when it comes to one mother's compatriots, there is only one daughter."

"Such a knot, Your Majesty does not say anything to his daughter, but to whom?"

Pretending to be coquettish, he asked a question, and without waiting for Lu Pheasant's face to change, he saw Liu Le leaning his upper body sideways with a smile, as if he was coquettish, and as if he was cheating, he put his cheek on Lu Pheasant's big arm.

"Queen Mother~"

"Even if you don't pity Your Majesty, the queen mother should also pity Yan'er when she is young?"

"A nine-year-old child, Mo Yan gave birth to an heir, it is a matter of men and women, I am afraid I am also confused······"

Feeling her daughter's coquettish tone, which has been rare for many years, Lu Pheasant's expression only quietly warmed, and between her words, she no longer saw the slightest firmness.

"But the eldest son of the emperor has been born for several years······"

"If you stay three or five years old, even if Yan'er has something to do, the eldest son of the emperor will also be the eldest son;"

"What should we do if we are bewitched by someone with a heart and have the idea of seizing the heir?"

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but shake his head with a gloomy face, and there was also a touch of deep worry between his eyebrows.

"The eldest son of the emperor was born in the twelfth year of Emperor Taizu Gao, and now he can speak;"

"If you are five years old, you will be eight years old, and you can already be crowned a king and a vassal when you talk about the system."

"However, if at that time, Yan'er has nothing to do, or she gives birth to a princess·········"

After three or two sentences, the gentleness between Lu Pheasant's eyebrows was once again replaced by a touch of deep hesitation.

Lu Pheasant understands the truth, his son Liu Ying can't do anything to the nine-year-old Zhang Yan, and Lu Pheasant can also understand it;

But the crux of the matter is: time, he waits for no one!

- Now, the emperor's eldest son, Liu Gong, is nearly four years old, and in two years, he will reach the age of being crowned king;

In addition to the emperor's eldest son Liu Gong, the emperor's second son Liu Qiang and the emperor's third son Liu Budo have all passed away, and the fourth son of the emperor, Liu Shan, was also born this summer;

In addition, at this moment, the harem concubines who are still walking in the Weiyang Palace with their stomachs upright, raising their babies and waiting to give birth······

Thinking of this, Lu Pheasant was already frowning, and there was only a lingering heaviness in his eyes.

Putting aside those who have not yet jumped out of the mother's womb, just according to the average rate of one prince being born every eight months in the past few years, when Queen Zhang Yan reaches the age of fourteen, the number of princes in Weiyang Palace will probably be no less than ten fingers!

What should I do when the time comes?

Let Queen Zhang Yan give birth to a 'eldest son' who ranks outside the top ten among brothers?

If that's all there is to it, that's fine.

No matter how many concubines there are, they can't compare to their concubines;

No matter how many concubines Liu Ying gives birth to in the future, as long as Zhang Yan can give birth to the eldest son, even if it is the tenth son of the emperor and the fifteenth son of the emperor, it must be a sure prince!

——As the queen mother, especially as the founding queen, Lu Pheasant has this confidence!

But the question is: five years later, can Zhang Yan really give birth to her eldest son as Lu Pheasant expects?

At that time, Liu Ying, the son of heaven who has gained a firm foothold in the court and has a complete grasp of the power of the court, will he follow Lu Pheasant's arrangement and give birth to the eldest son who Lu Pheasant is looking forward to with Queen Zhang Yan?

Lu Pheasant was extremely skeptical about this.

It is true that as far as the current situation is concerned, Lu Pheasant is still extremely satisfied with Liu Ying's son, and he is also very relieved.

But the experience of the first half of his life made it really hard for Lu Pheasant to believe: the emperor is a creature worthy of trust, especially a woman's trust.

Even if the 'woman' here refers to Lu Pheasant, the mother of the empress dowager and the emperor here, it is worthy of Liu Ying's son.

even took a step back and said: Even five years later, or even ten years later, Liu Ying is still respectful to the Queen Mother's mother, and has nothing to say about Lu Pheasant's arrangement, and even as Liu Le just ridiculed, staying in the Jiaofang Palace every night, it is difficult to ensure that Zhang Yan gave birth to the eldest son, not the eldest princess.

If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to give birth to a second or third princess.

And then, what to do?

For a queen who gave birth to several princesses one after another, but did not even give birth to an eldest son, what attitude would the foreign court have?

What will those princes who are in their teens and twenties and have full wings think?

The main thing is: Lu Pheasant, how many years can he live?

Lu Pheasant, how many years can you wait for Zhang Yan, and how many years can you wait for that eldest son?

Considering all these things, Lu Pheasant was impatient, and even put pressure on Liu Ying regardless of the facts, so that Zhang Yan could give birth to the emperor's eldest son as soon as possible.

As for Zhang Yan's infertileness, she was ignored by Lu Pheasant intentionally or unintentionally.

It wasn't until this moment that this layer of window paper was broken by his daughter Liu Le, Liu Leqiang pressed Lu Pheasant's head, and put the fact that 'the queen can't give birth for the time being' to the sky, and Lu Pheasant finally reacted: He seemed to be in a hurry······

"Xuanping Hou is really!"

"Why didn't you give birth to Yan'er a few years earlier?"

Seeing that his mother was distressed, he even complained about her husband Zhang Ao, who 'didn't give birth to Zhang Yan a few years earlier', Liu Le couldn't stop laughing.

But when he came to his senses, Liu Le finally realized: his mother Lu Pheasant had been forced to do this.

- Otherwise, according to Lu Pheasant's temperament in the past, even if Liu Le was killed, he would never have imagined such an arrogant and vexatious scene as Lu Pheasant!

Thinking of this, Liu Le raised his head without a trace, his eyes fell on his mother Lu Pheasant beside him, and the proposal given by Liu Ying appeared in his mind again······

"Emperor Yu's eldest son, the queen mother doesn't have to worry?"

"After all, the emperor's eldest son was born, and his biological mother died······"

Hearing Liu Le's words, Lu Pheasant didn't react immediately, and only waved his hand irritably.

"The eldest son of the emperor has no mother, how about the second son and the third son of the emperor?"

"I can't!"

Speaking of urgency, the sentence 'You can't kill all the mothers of the princes' was almost blurted out by Lu Pheasant!

After realizing his gaffe, Lu Pheasant finally took a deep breath, and between his eyebrows, there was still a lingering irritability and gloom.

"The eldest son of the emperor has no mother, so he is not worried."

"In the past, the king of Qi was also born and grew up, but the emperor was born and descended, and he finally had to keep his position safe."

"However, at that time, although the king of Qi did not covet the throne, he ······ Huainan"

Halfway through the words, he stopped talking meaningfully, and handed Liu Le a color of 'understand everything', and saw Lu Pheasant shaking his head and lamenting again.

"Yan'er is too young······"

"Too Young·········

As he spoke, he saw Lu Pheasant get up from the couch leisurely, take two steps forward, look out of the hall, and let out a long sigh indifferently.

For a moment, even the idea of 'killing the biological mothers of all the princes' flashed through Lu Pheasant's mind!

But in the end, Lu Pheasant forcibly suppressed this impulse and buried this thought deep in his heart.

——One day in the future, when Lu Pheasant is about to die, if Zhang Yan still does not give birth to her eldest son, this plan will become Lu Pheasant's last choice.

But at the moment, it is not like that······

"That is, the emperor's eldest son has no mother, Yan'er is young, and it is difficult to give birth to the eldest son between the ages of three and five······"

"Why doesn't the queen mother give permission and succeed Yu Yan'er as the emperor's eldest son?"

"In this way, for Yan'er to be raised by his side, even if the eldest son of the emperor has the idea of seizing the heir, he should also be hindered by the grace of nurturing, and he will be slightly restrained;"

"In the future, Yan'er gave birth to her eldest son, and the eldest son of the emperor remembered Yan'er's grace, and it is unknown whether it will be the hands and arms of the future prince?"

Lu Pheasant was thinking about it, and suddenly remembered Liu Le's voice behind him, which made Lu Pheasant's face stunned for a moment!

Only a moment later, I saw Lu Pheasant turn around coldly, and his eyes immediately brought a touch of profundity.

"This discussion is also what the emperor said to Lu Yuan?!"

Hearing Lu Pheasant's obviously cold tone, Liu Le couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly got up from the couch, but on his face, he hurriedly brought a shallow complaint.

"What ······ the queen mother do?"

"The daughter just saw that the queen mother was worried about this, so she joked, and the queen mother was annoyed?"

asked aggrievedly, Liu Le snorted again, and immediately put on a posture of saying goodbye and leaving.

"If the queen mother doesn't like her daughter, in the future, her daughter will not return to Changle ······"

After speaking, he saw Liu Leqi walking down the imperial steps, turning around, and bowing angrily to Lu Pheasant.

"The queen mother is well, so let me rest."

"Daughter, then step aside."

Seeing Liu Le's posture like this, Lu Pheasant's face was only cloudy for a while, but he did not open his mouth to stay.

When Liu Le's figure gradually faded away and gradually disappeared from view, Lu Pheasant took two steps backwards with a gloomy face and groped his way back to sit on the imperial couch.

"The eldest son of the step-emperor is under the queen's knees······"

"Following the Queen's Knees······"

With a gloomy expression, he murmured twice, and saw that Lu Pheasant didn't raise his head, but only raised his hand indifferently.

"Come forward and talk back."

Before the words fell, the old eunuch who was standing aside hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down beside Lu Pheasant with a worried face.

"What has the eldest son been busy with these days?"

"Emperor, have you ever seen him?"

"In the east and west palaces, between the ministers of the foreign courts, can there be private discussions, talking about the eldest son of the emperor?"

Hearing this, the old eunuch only hurriedly kowtowed, and waited for Lu Pheasant to give a light 'um' before tentatively raising his head a little.

"Huh, Empress Dowager."

"After Ji Xia, His Majesty sent his son to Tianlu Pavilion to study the scriptures and classics of the past sages; After the Yandong War, His Majesty was busy with state affairs all day long and did not look at it. ”

"And in the palace, when it comes to the son, he pities the early death of his biological mother, and there is nothing else; Among the ministers of foreign dynasties, there are few people who talk about the son······"

Hearing this, Lu Pheasant only nodded silently, but the look of vigilance on his face was still the same.

"Reading the scriptures?"

"—Who are you doing?"

"Who is the teacher?!"

As soon as Lu Pheasant spoke, he saw that the old eunuch's figure trembled slightly, and he hurriedly sank his head down again.

"The one who is studying is the "Cangjie" chapter written by Qin Xiang Li Si."

"······ and Teachers"

"Uh······"

"And the teacher's teacher, it seems that he is a scribe taken by the examination, he is not very old, and he has not been famous in the county."

"Only the eunuch who heard the eunuch occasionally said: This person is the ······ after the teacher Zhongni"

Hearing this, Lu Pheasant's face finally showed a slight trend of warming, and between his eyebrows, there was also a little indifference.

"After Jonny······

"That's Confucianism?"

"Do you know what school he inherited, and how he regarded himself as a Confucian?"

This time, the old eunuch couldn't answer, only hurriedly said, 'I don't know', and then pressed his head to the floor in panic.

But when he saw Lu Pheasant hearing this, he let out a short sigh indifferently.

"Go down and check."

"Check the name and origin of the emperor's eldest son, and learn from ······"

"That's it, there's no need to look it up."

inexplicably made an explanation, and canceled the explanation, Lu Pheasant waved his hand again, signaling the old eunuch to retreat.

When the old eunuch stood up tremblingly, bowed deeply to Lu Pheasant, and then wiped the cold sweat while retreating from the side of the hall, Lu Pheasant's eyebrows finally surged with a touch of thought again.

"The Emperor's Eldest Son······"

"The Emperor's eldest son·········"

"Gong ······"

"Liu Gong ············"
