Just when the princes and princesses were playing, Queen Lin and Concubine Lu Guifei arrived, looking at the princes and princesses playing on the lawn in the distance, showing a gentle smile, and waiting quietly.

"Seventh brother, seventh brother, you can't catch me, hehe!"

"Slightly, Seventh Brother, I'm here."

"Haha, see you're still running, catch it, let the royal brother guess who you are?"

The seventh prince was blindfolded with cloth yarn, and he caught the fifteenth princess in one hand.

The fifteenth princess hurriedly covered her mouth with her fat hand, did not make a sound, closed her eyes tightly, and her face was nervous.

The Seventh Prince touched the headdress and hair on the fifteenth princess's head, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he suddenly laughed:

"Haha, isn't it you, eleventh brother!"

When the fifteenth princess heard the seventh prince say the name of the eleventh prince, her big watery eyes suddenly smiled like a crescent moon, and she jumped up with joy.

"Brother Seven, you guessed wrong, I'm not Brother Eleven, you big fool, let me go, you have to keep catching!"

"Eh, it turns out that the fifteenth sister, the imperial brother is too stupid, can I guess again." The seventh prince was full of chagrin, hugged the fifteenth princess in his arms, and said in a sad tone.

The fifteenth princess looked at the seventh prince who was a little sad, her mouth was deflated, and she said aggrievedly:

"That'...... Then give Seventh Brother another guess. ”

The eighth prince on the side saw the honest and silly appearance of the fifteenth princess, shook his head helplessly, and suddenly saw Queen Lin and Lu Guifei standing there in the distance, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, frowned slightly, and walked towards the seventh prince.

"Wow, fifteenth sister, you are so good, then you close your eyes and let me touch it again to see who you are?"

"Okay, Seventh Brother, you can't peek at who I am."

The fifteenth princess hurriedly closed her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands.

"Brother Huang, wait a minute."

The eighth prince's heavy voice interrupted the amusement of the seventh prince.

The Seventh Prince heard that the Eighth Prince's tone was wrong, and he reached out and tore off the cloth.

"Whoa." The Eighth Prince motioned for the Seventh Prince to look in the direction of Empress Lin.

The seventh prince Li Ce followed the gaze of the eighth prince Li Hui, his eyes froze, and he took the opportunity to let go of the fifteenth princess, bowed his head and said softly:

"Fifteenth sister, you go to play with Eleven and them, and the royal brother won't accompany you first."

"Uh-huh."

The fifteenth princess looked at the smile on the face of the seventh prince, nodded very obediently, and ran towards the princes and princesses who had already run away.

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince glanced at each other, tidied up the clothes on their bodies, and walked towards Empress Lin and Concubine Lu.

"Meet the Queen."

"Meet Concubine Lin."

The two came to Queen Lin and Concubine Lu and saluted respectfully.

"The seventh brother and the eighth brother don't have to be polite."

Empress Lin was calm and motioned for the two to get up, and Concubine Lu next to her smiled and nodded.

In the distance, the laughter of the prince and princess could be heard.

The Seventh Prince got up and looked over there, and chuckled:

"The two sisters-in-law haven't come to see their younger brothers and sisters for a long time."

Empress Lin's originally gentle and calm face suddenly became lamenting, and she slowly walked towards the flower pavilion in the distance.

"Alas, I've been worrying too much lately."

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince glanced at each other invisibly, and followed behind Empress Lin and Concubine Lu with their heads down, and the Seventh Prince followed Empress Lin's words and asked:

"Oh? I don't know what worries the imperial sister-in-law? ”

The Eighth Prince bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing that the Seventh Prince was so knowledgeable, the smile on her face deepened, and her eyes became more and more kind.

"The seventh and eighth brothers are about to turn sixteen, and Your Majesty should have chosen a virtuous and worthy princess for you at this time, but now that Your Majesty is not in Kyoto, we are worried about these things."

"I wonder if the seventh brother and the eighth brother are interested in someone?"

"Uh......, this ...... Not really. The Seventh Prince Li Ce didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say dryly.

"And there's no hurry."

"How can you not be in a hurry, the imperial sister-in-law has already selected a few ladies for you, those few are beautiful and beautiful, they are all the daughters of ministers, and they are worthy of the identity of your prince."

Empress Lin and Concubine Lu Guifei walked into the flower pavilion and sat down.

Li Ce and Li Hui stood at the edge of the flower pavilion, keeping their distance from the two imperial sisters-in-law.

"Alas, originally the imperial sister-in-law wanted to wait for His Majesty's return, and then she was ready to let Your Majesty open a mansion for you to marry, but now it seems that your opening of a mansion and marriage is only far away." Queen Lin's eyes were slightly red, and she hid her face and wept.

"This ............"

The two looked at each other silently.

Concubine Lu Guifei also had red eyes, tears couldn't stop flowing out, and she said very angrily:

"Seventh brother, eighth brother, do you know why Your Majesty didn't come back, it's because the King of Chu rebelled and imprisoned Your Majesty."

Li Ce and Li Hui's eyelids moved, although they were deep in the palace, they naturally knew about such a big thing that shook the entire government and the opposition.

Li Ce's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head even lower, he probably guessed what the two imperial sisters-in-law were doing.

Li Ce and Li Hui quietly waited for Empress Lin and Concubine Lu to end crying.

Queen Lin wiped the tears on her face with a delicate handkerchief, and looked at the two of them:

"Seventh brother, eighth brother, this time, the imperial sister-in-law doesn't want to deceive you, she just wants you to help, go and ask the ancestor if you can make a will and let the king of Chu put His Majesty back."

Lu Guifei also said with red eyes: "The court can't be left without an owner for a day, now Your Majesty has only been imprisoned by the King of Chu for a few days, and the entire court is already in chaos, seventh brother, eighth brother, you don't want to see the court chaotic like this." ”

"Once Your Majesty returns, he will never forget your merits, and he will give you the title of king and mansion as soon as possible."

"Fiefdom, you can choose whichever place you want."

Li Ce looked at the two imperial sisters-in-law looking at him with blazing eyes, and said with a wry smile:

"Two imperial sisters-in-law, you think too highly of us, how can we talk about the ancestor, even if the ancestor relaxes, the king of Chu may not obey the ancestor's order to release His Majesty."

When Empress Lin heard Li Ce's words, tears flowed faster in her eyes, and she pleaded in a pleading tone:

"Seventh brother, whether it succeeds or not, the imperial sister-in-law begs you to give it a try, okay."

Concubine Lu hurriedly said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, seventh brother, eighth brother, you don't know that the king of Chu is now violently leading the rebel army to Kyoto, if he is killed by the king of Chu into Kyoto, all this is over, so the seventh brother and eighth brother, even if the king of Chu does not let His Majesty go, we can't let the king of Chu lead troops into Kyoto." ”

Empress Lin nodded heavily and said: "It is indeed unlikely that the King of Chu will let His Majesty go, but the seventh and eighth brothers, you can ask the ancestor to order the king of Chu to immediately stop the pace of the army and let the army led by the king of Chu retreat, the ancestor will definitely agree, only the king of Chu can't enter the capital, everything is still possible." ”

Concubine Lu cried and said: "Seventh brother and eighth brother, you think about how Your Majesty treated you during your reign, and now it's your turn to repay Your Majesty, you just need to go to the ancestor and move your mouth." ”

"That's right, seventh brother, if Your Majesty can't come back, you are the oldest prince in the palace, and you will need to preside over the overall situation of the court at that time." Empress Lin said in a deep voice. (End of chapter)
