After the whip test, Feng Huale ran back to the queen, "Queen Mother, this is really a good whip!" ”

The queen handed a silk handkerchief to Fenghua, "It is indeed a good whip, this is the reward of the first emperor, but I didn't expect to accompany me to be buried in this deep palace." Now that it is given to you, it will see the light of day again. ”

Fenghua respectfully took the square handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

Although she liked this whip very much, she was also very embarrassed, "How can such a good whip be given to me if it is useless." ”

"When the elders see the juniors for the first time, how can the gifts they give be pushed away?" The queen has long had a saying, "Besides, there are not many women who use whips, and now they are even more rare, and this whip meets you, which is the best destination." ”

"So, thank you Queen Mother!" Fenghua thanked the queen with a fist.

"If you like it, if you like. This time you are about to marry the Seventh Prince, I know you don't want to. ”

Hearing this, Fenghua was surprised and said secretly: "Is it so obvious?" ”

The queen seemed to guess what she was thinking, and explained: "Our military generals have always had a clear distinction between love and hate, especially emotional matters, and they hate being forced the most. But sometimes, fate has its own agenda. ”

Is the queen trying to persuade me to accept my fate? Fenghua thought secretly.

Although Fenghua also took advantage of the marriage, if she wanted to accept her fate, she was 10,000 unwilling.

"Dare to ask the queen mother, did you choose your destiny?" Fenghua asked boldly.

When the queen heard this, her expression was in a trance, as if she was recalling something, and only after half a sound did she murmur to herself: "I chose it myself, but it is not necessarily right." ”

"It's better to have a choice than not to have one." Fenghua said bluntly.

Looking at the vibrant young woman in front of her, the queen's eyes were full of love, "You're right, how can I persuade a young child to accept his fate?" You still have to try on the wedding dress, so go to the Shangyi Bureau with Aunt Lin, and I still have some flowers that have not been planted. ”

Fenghua left Fengyi Hall with his front foot, and the queen called Ye Yanqi and the prince with his back foot.

After the person arrived, the queen put down the work in her hand, changed clothes and shoes and came to the main hall, and raised her hand to retreat left and right.

She first asked Ye Yanqi gently: "Xiao Qi, is your leg disease still the Wang family kid watching?" ”

"After returning to my mother, it is still Qianhe who goes to the house every month for consultation." Ye Yanqi, who was in a wheelchair, owed and replied respectfully.

"Are there any signs of improvement?"

"Qianhe said everything he wanted and obeyed the destiny of heaven."

The queen bowed slightly, turned her gaze to the prince, and asked, "Little four, what about you?" Are you doing your best, or are you resigned to the fate of God? ”

Suddenly, hearing the queen's meaningful question, the prince and Ye Yanqi were both shocked.

A moment later, the crown prince met the queen's gaze and replied sonorously: "Queen Mother, the sons do not accept their fate. ”

The queen stared at the prince with blazing eyes for a moment, and then moved her gaze to Ye Yanqi, "Xiaoqi, what about you?" ”

It turns out that the queen mother knows.

After thinking about it, Ye Yanqi lowered his head slightly, but his tone was very firm, "Erchen listens to the fourth brother." ”

Many people think that Ye Yanqi must be very difficult to make a living in the hands of the queen, but in fact, it is the opposite.

At the beginning, the young Ye Yanqi saw that the queen was cold, but he also believed it and lived cautiously.

Over time, he found that the queen was the same for her biological fourth brother, and even for anything.

For example, the concubines in the harem tried their best to keep their faces, just to beg their fathers to take care of them, but the queen mother never seemed to care, so they let their faces pass away with time.

Even if her father came occasionally, she didn't dress up, she always spoke politely, but she was able to make her father angry, and then her father never came again.

No matter how old it is, the princes play and fight with each other, and the fourth brother always helps Ye Yanqi to come out, and when the fourth brother is angry and cries with the queen mother, the queen mother asks the fourth brother to endure it, and even says that even if he loses the position of the prince, he doesn't have to care.

He and the fourth brother realized that the queen had a heart to escape from the world.

It's a pity that in this position, no one believes that the queen and the crown prince are willing to let go of power.

Ten years ago, the fourth brother was almost killed, so he was determined to defend his position and consolidate his roots.

However, how easy is it to get back the territory that has been lost for more than ten years?

Ye Yanqi has been sheltered by the fourth brother since he was a child, and after sensing the fourth brother's thoughts, he did not hesitate to support him.

They hid from the queen, one was responsible for secretly collecting news, and the other was responsible for winning over the old department, and it was very difficult to go step by step.

Today, Ye Yanqi is already an invisible and sharp knife beside the prince.

Originally, they planned to Bingming Empress when the time was ripe, but they didn't expect that the queen had already understood everything, but she didn't expose them.

Seeing the two children so resolute, the queen sighed: "What you are doing is different from my way, I will not advise you, nor will I help you." ”

"Thank you, Mother." The two spoke in unison.

"But there are two things you need to promise me. First, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family have to be well; Second, after the big event is settled, if the little daughter of the Gu family wants to be free, Xiaoqi, you have to give it to her. ”

"Yes, follow the teachings of the Queen Mother."

After making a promise, Ye Yanqi and the crown prince left Fengyi Palace.

"Xiaoqi, it's the fourth brother who can't stand you." The prince spoke, "You are the one who married Miss Gu, but it is me who helps." ”

The fourth brother said seriously. It's the same for anyone to marry, I'm just glad that I still have some use. Ye Yanqi was indifferent.

In fact, marrying Gu Fenghua is a part of the prince and Ye Yanqi's plan.

Today, nearly half of the courtiers who openly support the six princes are strong, and only two or three percent are firm in the orthodoxy of the prince, and the rest are still looking at the direction of the emperor.

It is said that it is looking at the direction of the emperor's wind, but in fact, it depends on whose hands the Zhenxi army falls into.

If it falls into the hands of the six kings and one party, the situation is certain; If it falls into the hands of the emperor or the crown prince, there are variables.

And Ye Yanqi and the prince are fighting for this variable, and they must not let the Zhenxi Army fall into the hands of the Six Kings and One Party.

Originally, according to the forty-year plan, the Zhenxi Army should have returned to the emperor.

Unexpectedly, in the last few years, there were frequent changes in the northwest, and Gu Fenghua's father died in battle, which disrupted the entire plan. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, His Majesty ordered Gu Fenghua's brother to garrison the northwest.

Now that the deadline of the plan has been pierced, the emperor is not at ease, so someone has proposed to use marriage to recall the Gu family back to Beijing and watch it under his nose to prevent General Gu Xiao from changing in the northwest.

The sixth prince was the first to know about the emperor's plan, and he immediately went to discuss the matter with the concubine. I don't know why the concubine was furious and didn't agree with the sixth prince to marry Gu Fenghua. So the sixth prince decided to postpone day to ask His Majesty to marry, and first persuade the concubine.

On this day, Ye Yanqi got the news from the spy and passed it on to the prince.

The prince wanted to enter the palace immediately to marry Gu Fenghua's side concubine, but the purpose of this move was too obvious.

You must know that if the much-loved sixth prince asks to marry, some people will praise him for sharing his worries for His Majesty, but the prince who can be snubbed will ask for marriage, and some people will stab him and say that he is plotting military power.

At this time, Ye Yanqi proposed: "It is most appropriate for me to marry the little daughter of the Gu family." ”
