Chapter 466: The Emperor dies

After knowing the news of the fourth prince's return to the palace, the third prince Zhu Zhi hesitated.

After all, he took down his painter's brand, and after finishing the order in his hand as soon as possible, the fourth prince answered the imperial city in one step.

As usual, he still handed over a heart to get the Qin Palace.

The brothers went to the Qinzheng Palace, the Phixue Palace, and then their respective mothers and adoptive mothers to say goodbye.

The first two only let them kowtow outside the door and let them withdraw.

The latter two have their own ways of expressing their thoughts (accusations).

Then the third prince went next door to find the fourth prince to drink.

The fourth prince had a poor amount of wine, so he raised the teacup in his hand and drank it all.

The three princes didn't care, now the two of them had the most similar experiences, and there were some things that they could only understand each other.

It's not interesting enough to find other people.

"Fourth brother, why did you suddenly come back without saying hello?"

Fourth Prince: "It's almost time." ”

The third prince took a drink.

The fourth prince looked at him: "The third brother won't know, what is Uncle Qin leading all this for, right?" ”

The third prince was gloomy: "It is precisely because I know that I cherish it." ”

Cherish this time that may be the only time of his life.

In the days of Yolulou, it was so simple that he didn't want to talk without talking, and everything was done in accordance with the rules.

He paints, and someone takes the painting.

Cycle.

The most he has to deal with is that someone wants to cut the line, and he just needs to stick to the order.

Yo Lu Lou will not be explicitly or implicitly said to whom he is "convenient".

He can paint as he pleases.

And he only does such a simple thing, and there will be a steady stream of people praising and chasing him.

No matter what kind of clothes he wears, whether he can recite ancient poems, whether he can answer.

None of that matters.

The only thing that matters is his brush, his paintings.

The fourth prince's answer to this was to put down the teapot and pick up his wine jug to pour wine for the third brother.

The third prince raised his glass: "Thank you, fourth brother." ”

After drinking this cup, the third prince suddenly remembered and said, "Then Gongzi He and Xiaoman, what's going on with them?" ”

The fourth prince glanced at him, changed back to the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

The third prince knew that he was not going to answer him.

Sure enough, the Imperial City is different from Yolulou.

As soon as he returned to the imperial city, the fourth brother was still as annoying as before.

Zhu Zhi assured that this was the last time he drank with Zhu Yin.

*********

Since the two princes returned to the palace, the Qin Wangfu also handed over the candidates in their hands to the Qinzheng Palace.

Zhu Qi can only wake up for a while a day now, and most of the time he falls asleep.

Only Gonggong Hong knew that the emperor rarely slept peacefully even in his dreams.

Wei Ling was not in a hurry, and sat quietly in the warm pavilion of the Qinzheng Palace.

Until Gonggong Hong came over: "The emperor has woken up, and the king of Qin is invited." ”

Wei Ling walked into the dormitory and heard Zhu Qi shouting in a daze: "Queen, is the queen here?" ”

Zhu Qi, is he looking for the former queen Jiang Nishan?

Wei Ling was puzzled, but immediately saluted: "Weichen see the emperor!" ”

"It's you, you're here." Zhu Qi's voice came from behind the bamboo curtain, and it was much clearer, "You have decided on the four princes, have you?" ”

Wei Ling: "Back to the emperor's words, yes." ”

"I've seen all the excerpts you've put on. It's good to choose him. When the day comes, I will issue a will. Stand down. ”

Wei Ling retired.

I heard Zhu Qi asking, "I just called the queen again, didn't I?" ”

Father-in-law Hong: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Then there was an incomprehensible laugh.

Wei Ling felt strange, and told his wife after returning home.

Chu Xujun has been picking out the dowry for his daughter these days, and if he likes it, he will first store it in the treasury, and replace it when he sees a better one later.

The states don't know where they heard the news, and most of the goods sent to Jingzhou at these times are the best goods for women's families.

The pearls of the East China Sea, the Hetian jade of the Northwest, the Suzhou embroidery of the south of the Yangtze River, and the best mahogany furniture......

When she first heard her husband's question, she was putting down a top Cuidong jewelry stone face, which is the latest craftsmanship of Zhongzhou Hua Jin'er.

Chu Xujun unconsciously repeated: "Called the queen? ”

Wei Ling: "Could it be that the emperor is considering the candidate for the queen mother?" ”

This is the most normal way of thinking.

Chu Xujun thought about it and probably guessed that Zhu Qi was probably haunted by the dream of his previous life.

But this obviously can't be talked to Wei Ling.

Chu Xujun took the opportunity to say: "Mrs. Xu does intend to be the queen mother. ”

Wei Ling was surprised: "Really? ”

Chu Xujun: "I look like it, but I don't know when she plans to mention it." ”

"With the Xu family's style, I'm afraid I will really agree." Wei Ling frowned.

These days, it is precisely because of Mrs. Xu temporarily in charge of the harem that the husband and wife have acted a lot more conveniently.

If they change people later, it is not that they are afraid of being seized power, but it means that they have just finished inspecting the prince, and they will continue to investigate the candidate for the queen mother.

Each of the princes in the back has a biological mother and an adoptive mother, and the Queen Mother of the East and West Palaces is even more troublesome.

The biological mother of the fourth prince, Na Guiren, is more than beautiful and lacks IQ.

The adoptive mother, Shuguiren, is also quiet and does not like to associate with people.

The emperor deliberately selected commoner women to strictly control the power of his relatives, and it was impossible for the nobles to have the opportunity to contact and learn after entering the palace.

Neither of these is clearly a good candidate to lead the harem.

The couple glanced at each other, and Chu Xujun took out a few familiar planning books from the secret cabinet: "I'll go to the palace now." ”

There is a princess out of the horse, and there are still several plans, so Mrs. Xu will definitely not be able to run on their boat.

Phi Xue Temple.

Mrs. Xu looked at the booklet handed over by Chu Xujun, and after taking it, she immediately stretched out her hand to stop her from speaking: "Is this the plan book that Xiaoman's girl has returned thousands of times?" This palace has received it, you go back first. ”

Chu Xujun: "......"

Mrs. Xu: "I know why you're here. Isn't it enough to have these booklets? Add one more you persuade from the side, can the palace still withstand it? Don't worry, after the palace has thought about it, it will pass you into the palace. ”

Chu Xujun gave a helpless expression: "The courtiers retired." ”

"Mama, let Princess Qin take the gift list prepared for Xiaoman in the palace with Princess Qin."

Chu Xujun: "Madam, don't use this." ”

Mrs. Xu could not refuse: "If the palace wants to give it to the county lord, you can't do without it." Go ahead. ”

"It's still early."

Xu Xue just waved her hand and didn't answer again.

If she decided not to stay in the harem, these things would have been given earlier, but it would have been a matter of concern earlier.

Before the Qin Wangfu waited for Mrs. Xu's reply, it was the Qinzheng Palace that spread the news first.

Emperor Zhu Qi died!

In view of the young age of the prince, the Qin King Weiling and Tingwei Xu Yao were jointly regent, Mrs. Xu was the empress dowager of the East Palace, and the biological mother of the four princes, Na Gui, was the empress dowager of the West Palace.
