"Aunt Guantao, ······" Riding in the yellow house that once belonged to his father Liu Qi, walking on the street to Shangguanli, looking out of the carriage with full eyes, Liu Sheng muttered softly, and then let out a long sigh.

No matter how euphemistic Xia Que said and how much he left Liu Concubine with dignity, it was not difficult for Liu Sheng to guess whose handwriting those 'rumors in the palace' came from.

- Princess Taichang of the Pavilion Tao: Concubine Liu. Liu Heng, Emperor Xiaowen of Taizong, the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager of the same dynasty, Liu Qi, Emperor Xiaojing of Daxing, and the eldest sister of the late Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, and the aunt of today's Zisheng.

Of course, she is also the wife of Chen Wu, the marquis of the contemporary Tangyi, and the biological mother of the current queen: Chen Ajiao······

"Could it really be that I was wrong?" As if muttering to himself, Liu Sheng's suspicious eyes were full of helplessness, and he involuntarily fell in front of him, and he had been promoted from the prince to the servant of the confessor.

Outside the carriage, the one who was driving the imperial chariot for Liu Sheng was Yuan An, the imperial servant of the court. It's just that Liu Sheng didn't care about 'the wall has ears', especially Yuan An's pair of tailwind ears, and only looked straight at Ji Di in front of him, as if he wanted to get a satisfactory answer from Ji Di's mouth.

After the past few years of experience in the Tai Palace, Ji Di is no longer the past, the stunned young man who only cares about chatting with Liu Sheng and forgets his own job.

Although the beard is sparse, it is already four inches long, and when I want to pretend to be thirteen, I can barely lift most of it; The eyebrows are getting softer, the eyes are becoming more and more resolute, and the already upright facial features are becoming more and more 'gentle elders'.

was asked by Liu Sheng coldly, only to see Ji secretly purse his lips subconsciously, and after a moment of serious thought, he arched his hand to Liu Sheng uncertainly.

"The minister thinks that His Majesty is right."

"——As the saying goes: no rules, no rules."

"It's the same thing about this time······

"Your Majesty's affair with the empress was made by the first emperor and the empress dowager as early as when Emperor Xiaojing was still alive."

"Almost not long after His Majesty was appointed as the crown prince, the queen was canonized as the crown princess by the empress dowager."

"Now, Emperor Xiaojing is in a big line, His Majesty is the prince, although there is no crowning marriage, but the Empress Dowager still issued an edict in a low-key manner according to the rules: the crown princess Chen is the queen, and she will enter the pepper house in the future······"

"The reason why Your Majesty didn't marry the queen at a big wedding is that as early as the time of Emperor Xiaojing, His Majesty, who was still the crown prince, already had the name of husband and wife with the queen who was still the crown princess at that time."

"The prince is established, and the crown princess is registered as the queen, which is the proper reason in the question, and there is no need for another wedding ceremony."

"It's just that His Majesty did not crown when he ascended the throne, and when he has a crown ceremony in the coming day, if he wants to take charge of the dynasty, he needs to hold another big wedding ceremony with the queen in accordance with the rules of 'crowning adults, marrying and pro-government'."

"But even so, the wedding ceremony between His Majesty and the Queen is also after His Majesty's crown ceremony, and it is just a formality for His Majesty's personal government······

"Both, since Emperor Xiaojing died, His Majesty will mourn the country."

"If it weren't for the edict that Emperor Xiaojing specially left a testament, ordering the people of the world not to avoid marriage because of the national funeral, even ordinary people would not be able to marry during the national funeral."

"The people are still like this, and Your Majesty, as the eldest son and successor of the throne, naturally cannot hold a wedding ceremony with the queen during the state funeral."

"——Chen believes that these truths are very simple, as the eldest sister of Emperor Xiaojing's mother, the eldest princess will not be unable to see through these truths."

"It's just that for some reason: the eldest princess seems to be ······ to Your Majesty"

"Ahem, it seems that the urging is too tight?" With a slightly embarrassed expression, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and looked at Liu Sheng's gaze, which also vaguely brought a little temptation.

——The above words are all internal and external causes that have been analyzed and dismantled through the current situation; But according to past experience, or according to Liu Sheng's evaluation of Ji Yin: on similar issues, Ji Yin, a 'gentleman', is often a little too idealistic······

"Perhaps, I am worried that the current queen will also encounter what happened to the Empress Bo and the current Empress Dowager Zhao······"

"So you want to take advantage of the fact that the Empress Dowager is alive, and I have not yet been crowned an adult and have not yet been in charge of the dynasty, so I will quickly let the Empress give birth to the eldest prince?"

"Hi ······"

"No matter what, you have to see Aunt Guantao to know~" Feeling the inquiry in Ji Di's eyes, Liu Sheng only pretended to sigh, and then turned his head away with melancholy.

Looking out of the carriage and silently retreating to the street people on both sides of the road, Liu Sheng's heart slowly fell to the bottom in the corner that Ji Dark did not find······ This time, it is not complicated to say that it is complicated, and it is really not simple to say that it is simple.

——The first emperor died, Liu Shengxinjun was established, and the crown princess Chen Ajiao ascended to heaven, and she naturally became the queen of the Han family.

If Liu Sheng is an adult prince, then after Liu Sheng ascends the throne, the crown princess Chen Ajiao only needs to bring the edict of 'the marquis of the hall and the daughter of the pavilion pottery is the queen', and move into the Jiaofang Palace in a grand manner.

Even now, Liu Sheng is not crowned, and if he wants to take charge of the dynasty in the future, he must be crowned and married, and he only needs to be like what Ji Dian said: he and his titular wife Chen Ajiao will 'marry' again, hold a ceremony, and go through the motions.

But Liu Sheng knew very well in his heart: Aunt Liu's temptation, or 'difficulty', pushed this not simple problem to a more complicated direction······

"This woman ······"

"Is it stupid or bad?"

"—call her stupid? Holding the first emperor so steadily, entering and exiting the mansion, the library and even Changle is like walking into his own back garden; ”

"She's not stupid, is she?"

"Look at this······" Depressed, Liu Sheng withdrew from the window of the car a little, and Yang did not inadvertently glance at the darkness in the carriage.

- What Ji Dian mentioned is only the superficial cause of the problem. Whether it is 'it is not suitable to marry during the national funeral', or 'it is better to have a wedding ceremony after the crown', it is just a superficial thing.

In this matter - in the low-key handling of Chen Ajiao, the queen, Liu Sheng really cares about the feelings of the Empress Dowager Dou.

The reason is very simple: in this generation, a young and unmarried king, from youth to adulthood and rulership, must go through a coronation ceremony and a big wedding ceremony.

Crowned adult, big marriage and pro-government, nothing more. And ten days ago, Emperor Liu Qi of Xiaojing died, and the prince Liu Sheng ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Dou, who was already 'invincible in the world', became the 'invincible Empress Dowager of the Three Realms' in a blink of an eye!

One is a child emperor who is underage and not in power, and the other is the empress dowager who is very likely to let three points of thin face even if it is a ghost or god; What to do?

Liu Sheng, what can I do? The only way is to set up the character of the 'good grandson' until next year's coronation ceremony, and to come to the government as soon as possible.

Therefore, Liu Sheng's approach is easy to understand. - If you are too indifferent to Gillian, Liu Concubine will definitely be shocked, and then go to the Empress Dowager Dou to cry, saying that Liu Sheng is 'unkind'; although this accusation may not make the Empress Dowager Dou change 180 degrees to Liu Sheng's concubine, but it will inevitably make the Empress Dowager Dou mutter: What she promised back then, this ass has only been on the throne for a few days, and this is a reversal?

If this kid is allowed to be in power, then it will be worth it? From this point of view, it seems that it is necessary for Liu Sheng to use Chen Ajiao to curry favor with his grandmother Empress Dowager Dou.

But the crux of the problem is that if Liu Sheng is too concerned about Chen Ajiao, especially about the 'big wedding ceremony' with greater formal significance than practical significance, it will be easy for Empress Dowager Dou to have an illusion;

Combined with all these things, there is Liu Sheng's lukewarm and tepid attitude towards Chen Ajiao, the queen.

In order not to make his aunt Liu Concubine panic, so that his grandmother Empress Dowager Dou also had doubts, Liu Sheng let Chen Ajiao live in the Jiaofang Palace; But in order not to leave a bad impression in the heart of his grandmother Empress Dowager Dou, who was in a hurry to get married and pro-government, Liu Sheng didn't dare to be too close to Gillian at all.

Liu Sheng's intentions, Ji Di obviously didn't see it, or a gentleman like Ji Di shouldn't have seen through such a fly camp dog - this kind of calculation that happens between blood relatives.

But Liu Sheng is very sure: his aunt, the eldest princess of the Han family, must understand his thoughts.

But even so, Liu Concubine is still ······

"If you don't go to the pepper room to stay overnight, you have to go to Changle to cry?"

"Hey, don't look at how old Gillian is, do you really treat me like a brute?"

"To be able to raise gossip in the palace, my aunt's ability ······"

"Maybe even the summer sparrow ······"

"Hmmm······" In just a moment's effort, countless possibilities had flashed in Liu Sheng's mind.

- Without exception, they are all extremely unfavorable possibilities for Liu Sheng. It's just that Liu Sheng didn't find out: Tianzisheng, who disdained intrigues and tricks in the past and only paid attention to uprightness, became exactly the same person as the first emperor Liu Qi for a moment.

At least, the same way of thinking is followed. Once upon a time, Emperor Liu Qi, the first filial piety, also relied on this high vigilance of 'guarding against the whole world' that made his originally mediocre self also make achievements that Ming Jun and Maven could do; And now, the immature son of heaven, who has only been on the throne for only ten days and has not even been crowned an adult, has already embarked on the path of his father.

"Don't trust anyone!"

"As long as you don't get yourself in trouble, you have to be suspicious of anyone!" Daddy's low, gloomy voice sounded in his mind again, but it only caused Liu Shengman to close his eyes with longing and even a little enjoyment.

"Old man, ······"

"Why, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Why, don't hold on for three or two more years······

"Tangyi Marquis Afternoon ······"

"-Hi Ya Ya~"

"—What is this doing?"

"—Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" When the imperial chariot stopped outside the mansion of the marquis of Shangguanlitangyi, Liu Sheng had already put on a mask and walked down the imperial chariot with a spring face; Without even waiting for Chen Wu to bow down to pay respects, Liu Sheng strode forward, and even surrendered his identity, reaching out to pull Chen Wu up from the ground.

He turned his head with pretended to be happy, and swept his gaze over the Chen man who was waiting outside the mansion door in order, Liu Sheng's gaze finally fell on the face that was already old, but obviously a little 'unwilling to obey the old'.

"My aunt is really ~"

"It's all a family, what are you doing with such a big battle?"

"If it's like this in the future, that nephew, but I won't dare to come to the door again······" As he said, Liu Sheng's eyes did not forget to glance around him, as if he was being polite to Liu Sheng: I'm just a junior, why should my aunt be so solemn?

It's sprinkling and sweeping, and it's tidying up, and even the servants are wearing spotless new clothes, which is so embarrassing······ Regarding Liu Sheng's obviously superficial politeness, Liu Concubine saw through it at a glance; But if you see through it, you can see through it, and if you see through it and don't say it, Liu Yan will not not understand.

He squeezed out a smile very much, smiled and waved his hand, and replied with a smile while leading Liu Sheng towards the courtyard: "Look at what Your Majesty said; ”

"They all talk about the monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, those are the rules left by the ancestors."

"This round of elder and younger, I am a few years older than Your Majesty, and I am touched by the light of the first emperor, and I am considered half of Your Majesty's clan elders;"

"But the difference between the monarch and the minister, the respect and the inferior, I will not be thrown aside······" said so, but Liu's body was not polite at all; first grabbed Liu Sheng's arm and enthusiastically introduced Liu Sheng into the guest hall, and then sat down next to Liu Sheng without pretentiousness, and even warmed up with Liu Sheng's cold greetings.

talked about the affairs of the palace for a while, talked about the affairs of the court for a while, and then politely said "the first emperor died, His Majesty mourned" and so on, and pretended to wipe a handful of tears.

made Liu Sheng a little confused, and Liu Concubine finally said in a roundabout way: "If you want to say, I have long wanted to see Your Majesty." ”

"After all, this family is a family, that is, when you see the above and talk from time to time, then the friendship will not be strong?"

"It's just that my body is bones, and it's really inconvenient to move around recently, if people really carry me into Weiyang, it will be a little bad to spread it after all."

"-Maybe someone will say that Your Majesty sits on this throne, and even the blood relatives and elders are not respected······"

"This is a last resort, I can only sweep every day in the house, just waiting for His Majesty to come to the door and talk to me face to face when he has spare time······"
