Following.

As soon as Qin Xiaoyao arrived at the barracks, he heard that the prince was coming, and he still came to look for her.

When she entered the tent, the prince was already waiting for her inside.

The prince, who was waiting in the tent, saw Qin Xiaoyao appear, and his face froze.

Immediately, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned, stepped forward and arched his hand at the prince.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Salute.

"Excuse me." The prince said stubbornly. I didn't dare to look at Qin Xiaoyao.

He didn't want to come here, but he had to come because of the queen mother's order.

The queen mother actually asked him to "cultivate feelings" with Xiaoyaohou, and also let him pursue Xiaoyaohou, so that Xiaoyaohou was willing to be his crown princess.

It's just appalling!

Qin Xiaoyao raised his head and looked at the prince not very happily.

"Your Highness is here, but what's the matter?" Asked.

The prince has no real power in his hands, and he basically has nothing to do with her, but this time he came to her on a special trip.

She couldn't think of any other reason than yesterday's events.

Empress Jia was really insistent enough, she had already clearly refused, and Xiang Yang had told her so much, but she still called the prince over.

"There's—there's something." Feeling the low pressure on Qin Xiaoyao's body, the prince became even more nervous. But he can only bite the bullet.

Qin Xiaoyao saluted again.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Mother-the queen mother asked the palace to come to Xiaoyaohou's account to assist Xiaoyao Hou in handling the military affairs of the military department." The prince stammered.

Qin Xiaoyao's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Recently, there is not much military affairs in the Ministry of War, and Ben Hou alone is enough to deal with it. Your Highness is busy with business, so there is no need to waste time here. So, Qin Xiaoyao said directly.

Anyway, in Empress Jia's place, she is an upright character.

Even if the prince passed the words back, she was not afraid.

She is not interested, and she does things with a soft-footed shrimp every day.

When the prince heard this, he was greatly relieved.

"Yes, the Marquis of Joy is right."

"Then the palace will take its leave first." After speaking, the prince hurriedly slipped away. Quickly, he left Qin Xiaoyao's camp.

After that, he quickly left the barracks with his personal guards.

Along the way, it was as if there was a dog behind him.

Seeing this scene, King Huaiyin couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Xiaoyaohou, what an ordinary woman......

Also, with the prince's temperament, even if he doesn't fight for him, can he sit firmly on the throne?

Qin Xiaoyao's side, seeing the prince leaving, felt a lot more comfortable.

I didn't think much about it, and I got busy.

An hour later.

The Queen's Bedchamber.

After listening to the prince's return, Jia Hou's expression was gloomy.

"So, the Marquis of Freedom let you go, and you left?" The displeased Prince Chong asked.

The prince's heart was shocked.

"Yes—yes." Fearfully answered.

This look made Jia even more annoyed.

"You are the crown prince of the dynasty, and you are on the orders of the palace to assist her in handling the affairs of the military department."

"She's a courtier, don't listen to orders, let you come back. You're back! ”

The prince was instantly terrified.

Immediately rushed to Jia Hou and knelt down.

"The queen mother is angry!"

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins!" Exclaimed in panic.

Seeing this, Empress Jia finally became furious.

picked up the teacup on the table next to him and threw it at the prince.

"Once the prince, kneel down at every turn! Your knees are so soft?! ”

The prince became more and more frightened, and let the teacup be broken beside him, not knowing what to do.

I wanted to get up, but I didn't dare.

"The queen mother is angry, the queen mother is angry!" I can only mutter.

Jia Hou had a headache in an instant.

Reaching out and rubbing his eyebrows, he forcibly suppressed his anger.

When the prince saw this, he wanted to go up and inquire about the situation.

But because he was afraid, he still chose to kneel.

After a while, Empress Jia calmed down a little before finally looking at the prince.

Seeing the fear and worry in the prince's eyes, the hatred in his heart faded a little.

The prince is cowardly, but he is also filial.

"The Marquis of Freedom is the pillar of the country, and the Great Jin Dynasty can have her in order to maintain long-term stability."

"In addition, she is strong in martial arts and has the courage to be invincible."

"If you can get her help, no one will be able to harm you in the future."

"Also, if she becomes your crown princess. The main palace can also rest assured that she will be given more military power. ”

Empress Jia's eyes deepened, "Even, let her be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses." ”

Most of the soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Dynasty are still in the hands of the King of Huaiyin.

Xiaoyao Hou is the only one she can think of, who can naturally replace the King of Huaiyin.

When the prince heard this, he was shocked.

"Queen Mother—" looked at Queen Jia in fear again.

I'm afraid that this is a temptation for Empress Jia to herself.

He once dreamed of waiting for his father to die, and then he would sit in that position.

But after being punished and scared by his mother a few times, he stopped thinking about it.

Now he doesn't dare to think about anything, he doesn't dare to ask for anything, he just wants to survive.

Seeing the prince's expression, Empress Jia sighed in her heart.

"The eldest prince is gone. You are the concubine of the queen mother, and the longest of the surviving princes. ”

"In the future, it is logical that you will inherit the throne of your father."

The prince's heart trembled, but his eyes were still uncertain.

Empress Jia continued: "In the past, there were some things that the queen mother did not consider. ”

"Now, the queen mother and your father are not as good as before."

"I can only help you pave the road as much as possible while you still have some spare energy."

"It also saves the ambition of King Huaiyin, and when the queen mother is gone, you will not be able to sit steadily."

The prince's heart trembled again.

The ambition of the King of Huaiyin is known to both the government and the opposition.

Before him, he even secretly hoped that the King of Huaiyin could defeat his mother and revive the prestige of their Huangfu family.

But now—

Is the queen mother really ready to let him succeed to the throne and return the imperial power to the imperial family?

The prince was a little moved at this time.

can think of the appearance of King Huaiyin, and his heart was instantly weakened a lot.

The King of Huaiyin has made great achievements, except for the Marquis of Xiaoyao, I am afraid that no one is as powerful as him.

And his strength is not only manifested on the battlefield, there is no shortage of ministers in the DPRK who support him.

In addition to one identity, does he have the strength to compete with the King of Huaiyin?

If he can't fight and offends the king of Huaiyin, what will happen to him?

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but shudder.

"Father, queen mother, no—it's going to be fine." So, the prince spoke.

When Empress Jia saw this, anger surged in her heart again.

Before leaving, he still suppressed his anger again.

"Go ahead and help out at Xiaoyaohou's side. I want to have more contact with her. He said.

The prince looked up at Empress Jia, his face full of reluctance.

Seeing Jia, his expression became displeased, and he hurriedly responded.

"The retainers obey."

Empress Jia's expression was a little better.

"Xiaoyao Hou is a woman with a temperament, and she is ordinary, different from the battlefield. It's not that fierce and terrifying. ”

"And in terms of appearance, although Xiaoyao Hou is a little different from those ladies nowadays, he is also a stunning beauty."
