"Smack!!"

"Queen Mother, what are you doing beating your sons!"

After listening to what the prince said, the queen in the Fengyi Hall directly slapped the prince.

The queen said angrily: "What are you doing here?" Beat your confusion, beat you without knowing what to do, beat your lust for profit! ”

The prince hurriedly knelt down: "The son knows his mistake, please reprimand the queen mother, and hope that the queen mother will guide the son, what should the son do, if this continues, the father will really abolish the son." ”

The queen calmed down and sat down on the phoenix chair: "Cong'er, Lao Qi is about to leave Beijing, you are going to make up your mind at this time, and you are also mixing with the people arranged by your uncle in Jiandu, how confused, what does your father think in the eyes of this matter, this son dares to murder his brother with Wang Dun today, don't you dare to murder his father with Wang Dun tomorrow?" ”

As soon as the queen said this, the startled prince suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Queen mother, my son doesn't have such an idea, my son doesn't dare!" ”

Queen: "Don't you dare, as long as you have thought about it, your father and emperor will not tolerate you, if you can't afford this world, it is better to ask yourself to abolish the prince as soon as possible, and you can save a life." ”

The prince hurriedly walked to the queen's feet, hugged the queen's feet and cried: "Queen Mother, you can't give up your son, you have to save me!" The prince who has always been deposed, the one who can live his life! ”

The queen looked at her eldest son, was angry, and persuaded: "Cong'er, the queen mother has had high hopes for you since she was a child, so she has even been helping you suppress your second brother, even if he is ambitious, the queen mother also let him be his own vassal king honestly, because the queen mother wants you to be a good emperor in the future." ”

The prince raised his head and hugged the queen with tears: "Queen mother, the son is wrong, the son has failed the queen mother. ”

The queen touched his head and said: "Your father is most afraid of your uncle, so it is taboo for the prince to have too close relations with him, and your uncle sent people to your side to instigate you to kill Lao Qi, just to sabotage the peace between the two countries, once the peace negotiation fails, Wei Liang fights, your father and emperor will have no time to estimate Yuezhou, this is your uncle's selfishness, not for your future throne, if you really do this, I am afraid that you will really be deposed by Your Majesty, your father is not only your son, the sixth and seventh are probably more suitable to be the prince in the eyes of your father." ”

The prince was horrified: "Queen Mother, what should my son do!" ”

The queen said carefully: "Cut off any contact with your uncle, those women don't say it anymore, study your homework honestly for a period of time in the future, wake up in the morning, go to your father and grandmother to say goodbye, be well-behaved, the matter of the seventh child, don't make any more extraneous branches, send him to Wei, your father is just beating you this time, as long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary, keeping your crown prince for the time being is the most stable for the court situation." ”

The prince nodded again and again: "My son knows." ”

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness King Ning has arrived, ask the queen Niangniang!" ”

The prince hurriedly wiped his tears and stood up, only to see Xiao Siya, the king of Ning, walking in with a smile, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, my son is greeting you, and the eldest brother is also here?" ”

The queen looked at her youngest son with a smile and waved her hand: "Li'er come and sit here with the queen mother." ”

King Ning walked over with a smile, took the queen's hand and sat down on the phoenix throne, and the queen mother touched his face and asked, "But did you go to your father's place to say hello?" Have you had breakfast? ”

King Ning nodded: "I just came from my father, and my father asked me to have breakfast with him." ”

The crown prince on the side was a little embarrassed, so he said: "Queen Mother, sixth brother, I'll go to my father's side to say hello first." ”

The queen nodded: "Come out of your father's emperor, and also go to Jingren Palace." ”

The prince nodded: "It's the queen mother, and the son has retired." ”

The crown prince turned to leave, and King Ning on the side was a little puzzled: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with the eldest brother, it seems that his heart is heavy." ”

……

"The son asks his father!"

Outside Zhong Yu Pavilion, the prince knelt outside to greet Emperor Jing, just now the prince arrived at Zhong Yu Pavilion and wanted to enter, but was stopped by Lu Shen.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is discussing matters with Xiang Xie, Xiang Cui, and Xiang Fei, saying that there is no need to enter to greet him."

The crown prince was already angry when he saw Lu Shen, but thinking about what the queen said, he had to smile and said: "Knowing Lu Changshi, then the palace will be outside the palace to ask my father and the emperor for peace." ”

The prince knelt down and asked for peace, and Emperor Jing's voice came from inside: "Holy bow, the prince go back, study hard, and cultivate your mind!" ”

The prince hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The sons and daughters have listened to the holy precepts, and the sons and daughters have retired!" ”

In Zhong Yu Pavilion, Fei Xiang looked out of the door, turned to Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is young, and it is common to be nostalgic for beauty, Your Majesty, don't punish too much!" ”

Emperor Jing smiled: "Your old father-in-law's daughter hasn't married yet, so I invited him to talk about it, I just helped your daughter clear the backyard, and she was upset when she saw it in the past, you should thank me." ”

Fei Xiang smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Jing said to Cui Xiang: "When Yonghui and them leave Beijing, the prince will get married after the year, and you will be a witness." ”

Cui Xiang nodded: "Your Majesty has an order, how dare you disobey?" ”

Fei Xiang on the side quipped: "Old man Cui, if Your Majesty doesn't speak, you don't want to be a witness to the little girl's marriage?" ”

Cui Xiang smiled: "That's not going to happen!" ”

Emperor Jing and the three phases all smiled heartily, and the situation of such harmony between the three phases fell in the eyes of Lu Shen, and he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then laughed too.

……

Out of Chaoyang Gate, Xie Xun was about to get into the carriage and leave, but was pulled by Cui Yan.

Xie Xun asked with a smile: "Old man Cui, do you want to go to my house for a meal and try your daughter's craftsmanship?" Come on, get in the car! ”

Cui Yan waved his hand: "No, another day, let me ask you something, is it really just because of a few women raised by the prince's East Palace?" ”

Xie Xun spread his hands: "Lao Cui, I don't know, but I think Your Majesty means to remind the prince and the people behind the prince not to cause trouble before the princess and His Royal Highness the Seventh leave Jingbei and return." ”

Cui Yan nodded: "I see." ”

After speaking, he actually got into Xie Xun's carriage

Xie Xun smiled: "Didn't you go to my house?" How did it come up? ”

Cui Yan laughed: "I think my family Xiu'er and that little slippery head, let's see if your Xie Yuan bullied her." ”

Xie Xun said helplessly: "The boss of my family is the one who is bullied, okay." ”

Xie Xun's eldest son Xie Yuan married Cui Yan's second daughter Cui Xiu, who has been married for three years, and now has a one-year-old son, who is regarded as a treasure by the two families, so Cui Xiang often goes to Xie's house to play the autumn breeze.

Xie Fu, after lunch, Cui Xiang teased the child, enjoyed a moment of family fun and left, Xie Xun called his young son Xie Jin to the study.

Xie Xun said to Xie Jin; "Jin'er, you wait to go to the annex of Honglu Temple on Guanhu Street, and send a letter of worship to His Royal Highness King Jin, the third prince of Wei, and ask him to see him in Deguang Building tonight."

Xie Jin took the greeting post and asked casually: "Father, tomorrow is the court meeting, Your Majesty will summon King Jin, is it appropriate for my father to go to see King Jin tonight?" ”

Xie Xun: "There's nothing inappropriate, I want to tell him a few words in advance for my father." ”

Xie Jin didn't ask, nodded and said, "Okay, father, son will go." ”

Xie Jin left, and Xie Xun said to himself: "Whether you have the heart or not, you will know if you try it tonight." ”

……

In the study of Tuoba Hong, the annex of the Honglu Temple, Tuoba Hong drew the last stroke of a picture of a lady, and then looked at it carefully, and a mask was placed next to it.

"It's still a little bit, not with her kind of charm! It seems that none of the paintings in the world are enough to depict her beauty. ”

Tuoba Hong muttered to himself, picked up the mask on the side again, stared, and his mind returned to the glimpse of the rainbow bridge above the West Lake last night.

"Are you really going to be her? What if it was me? ”

After Tuoba Hong said this, there was a wry smile on his face.

Li Cunxiao pushed the door in hand with a letter from Honglu Temple, and saw Tuoba Hong staring at the hanging portrait, with the mask of that night still placed next to it, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, this is the woman you fell in love with at first sight that day, she is indeed like a fairy, I understand." ”

Tuoba Hong smiled: "She herself is much more beautiful than painting, I don't have enough skills to paint her charm." ”

Tuoba Hong saw the post in Li Cunxiao's hand, Li Cunxiao put away his eyes from the portrait, and handed the post in his hand to Tuoba Hong: "Big brother, this is the official document called by Honglu Temple, Emperor Liang plans to summon us tomorrow, it is estimated that when the court meeting is over, Qin Tianjian will quickly set the date for our return, according to the time, we will arrive in the Eastern Capital in time for the year." ”

Tuoba Hong smiled: "It seems that the Emperor of Liang is in a hurry to marry his daughter!" ”

Li Cunxiao smiled: "Doesn't Your Highness know? What's hidden here? It still has something to do with His Highness. ”

Tuoba Hong was puzzled: "It has something to do with me!" ”

Li Cunxiao: "That Princess Yonghui was originally given a marriage to Qian Yi, the son of Wu Guogong, that Qian Yi fought with me, the swordsmanship is good, even I can cope with it very reluctantly, I looked at his appearance, he is also a handsome guy, but Wu Guogong was defeated and died, this marriage is yellow, I heard that Princess Yonghui went to the palace to intercede, saying that she was willing to marry Wei Guohe, in exchange for Qian Yi's life, let Emperor Liang let Qian Yi go, so it seems that this princess is estimated to have an unforgettable old love for Qian Yi. ”

After hearing this, Tuoba Hong only felt panicked in his heart: "There is such a thing!" ”

While the two were talking, Roque's enemy pushed the door in, holding a letter of worship in his hand.

"Big brother, someone sent a letter of greetings! Said to let me present it to you in person, this thing is strange, we have been here for three days, and the ministers of Liang have avoided it, and there are still people who dare to come to pay respects. ”

Tuoba Hong took the post and opened it, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a very unexpected person, Da Liang Shangshu ordered Zuo Prime Minister Xie Xun, how could he, the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, think of coming to see me, the prince of the Northern Dynasty?" ”

Li Cunxiao said: "It's really strange, this Xie Xun is known as a virtuous and good-looking minister, a first-class important minister of the Southern Dynasty, and was born in the Chen Liuxie family, one of the eight great families of the Southern Dynasty, and is deeply valued by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. ”

Tuoba Hong shook his head and said, "No, there is no need for the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty to arrange for someone else to come to see me before summoning me, I feel as if he has something to tell me." ”

"Where is the location?"

"Guangde Building, Detian Street."

"Let's go meet this virtuous man!"

……

Outside Zhong Yu Pavilion, Lu Shen led Princess Yonghui to the door, Lu Shen stepped forward and pushed open the door of His Majesty's study, turned to Princess Yonghui and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, and the old slave is waiting outside the door." ”

Yonghui nodded slightly: "Thank you Dachangshi." ”

Lu Shen bowed his head and said, "The princess is polite." ”

Yonghui stepped into Zhong Yu Pavilion, and saw that his father was reviewing the folds, so he quietly stepped forward and stood aside to study the ink, Emperor Jing raised his head and smiled, did not speak, and continued to bury his head in reviewing the folds.

After a while, Emperor Jing put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his eyes and stood up, Yonghui stepped forward to help, and Emperor Jing patted the back of her hand: "Girl, you went to Jiangdu before, and your father can always summon you back to see you, but now you go to Wei State, and you are reluctant to be your father." ”

Yonghui helped Emperor Jing out and said with a smile: "Father, the women of our Xiao family are stubborn, my aunt would rather be a monk in Yuezhou than go back to Jiandu, she said that she is the daughter-in-law of Yueguo, and when Yueguo died, she changed to Yueguo to guard the incense of her ancestors." ”

Yonghui's words also secretly stated his position and intentions, and Emperor Jing sighed: "Although my father has four sons, none of them are like me, girl, you are the one who is most like me, I am afraid that going to Wei will involve you in the battle for the storage position, and my father wants to hear your thoughts?" ”

Yonghui helped Emperor Jing to sit down, and personally made tea on the side, and said slowly: "Father, no matter what the palace of that dynasty will not be peaceful, the son is a royal daughter, and he can't ask for this kind of peace, so you might as well try it!" ”

Emperor Jing: "Although it is difficult for a royal girl to ask for a love, but you and Yi'er were childhood sweethearts before, and the most likely to be the prince in the Northern Dynasty is the King of Qi, he has already married and has a son, if he becomes the prince, even if you are the crown princess, I am afraid it will not be easy to handle the relationship." ”

Yonghui didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment and replied, "Father, if you hadn't made a desperate bet back then, what would have happened to the world?" ”

"Liang Guo returned to the civil strife, once I have civil strife in the Southern Dynasty, the Northern Dynasty really comes to attack, and I am afraid I will not be able to resist it."

After Emperor Jing finished speaking, he immediately understood something, and said a few words: "Hui girl, you need to observe, observe who is most likely, not for others, but for yourself and your brother." ”

Yonghui nodded: "Father, this is what Erchen needs to do, and I will never regret it!" ”

Yonghui ordered the tea and served it to Emperor Jing, who took a sip of the tea cup and asked, "You should have seen him, what do you think of him?" ”

Yonghui's face was slightly red: "Erchen doesn't know!" ”

Emperor Jing: "After tomorrow's court meeting, arrange a dinner party for my father's meeting, and you can come out to meet him." ”

Yonghui nodded slightly: "Yes, father!" ”
