In normal times, when the harem concubines want to see their families, they only see the female relatives of the family.

After all, the harem is a place where foreign men are not allowed to trespass.

But now that such a thing has happened to the queen and the fifth prince, coupled with the status of the Lu family in the court, it is not difficult for the father and daughter to meet each other.

The queen looked at her father's handwritten letter in her hand for a long time, and then said for a long time.

"Tianmo, you go to Jingqian Palace to tell the emperor about this."

"The slave obeys."

Tian Mo owed himself and withdrew.

Minsi looked at the queen, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, you don't have to hide it, now there is something that this palace can't hear." The queen picked up the teacup and said in a low voice.

Min Si sighed, "Niangniang, the slave is worried, the master wants to send someone into the palace to help the mother." ”

"What's the use of worrying, I want to have another prince now, it's not easy to talk about, the five princes have no chance to be unified, I want to keep the glory of the Lu family, and then send a girl of the right age to come in, give birth to a prince, and I will raise it, and I will take care of it as a son-in-law, or a child of the Lu family."

The queen said these words with a calm face, and her face was tired.

Seeing this, Min Si didn't dare to say more.

Fortunately, at this time, the voice of the fifth prince came from the door.

"Queen Mother, son-in-law please give the queen mother."

"Xu'er is here." When the queen heard the child's voice, she immediately stood up, her face swept away the tiredness, and she smiled, "Is it difficult to do your homework today?" After a hard day, the mother concubine stewed pigeon soup at dinner, and Xu'er drank more to replenish her body. ”

The fifth prince looked up at her obediently, and smiled on his face, "Schoolwork is not difficult, sons are not hard, the queen mother is hard, the queen mother and sons drink soup together, and they also have to replenish their bodies." ”

"Okay, let's drink together." The queen bent down and touched the head of the fifth prince, and the tenderness in her eyes seemed to overflow.

The maids consciously retreated, no longer disturbing the mother and son talking.

Yuzhang Palace.

Fang Yu learned the news during dinner.

"Prime Minister Lu Cheng wants to enter the palace to visit the queen and the five princes?"

"Yes, the news that the slave just came from the Imperial Front, there should be no mistake." Yuan and Shen said.

Fang Yu's hand that was holding the vegetables paused, and he was about to put down his chopsticks.

"Entering the palace at this time, I am probably discussing how to go forward."

"According to the physical condition of the five princes, if the Lu family and the queen really want to continue to seek the position of crown prince, I am afraid it will not be easy in the future, and it is even more possible."

Yuan He wanted to speak and stopped, but he heard Fang Yu say directly.

"It's not possible, it's definitely against the main palace."

"As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Yuan He said seriously.

Fang Yu nodded, "Don't worry, this palace knows in my heart, I've worked hard for you, let's rest." ”

After Deyuan and he withdrew, Yan Wei came over to give Bu Cai and said in a low voice.

"Niangniang, do you want to keep some slaves and maids staring at the side of Fengxuan Palace?"

"No, I can't find any useful information." Fang Yu shook his head, "After the matter of Concubine Wan, the queen is more cautious than before, and now that the affairs of the five princes are well known, this palace will naturally become the focus of the government and the opposition, and it is better to keep a low profile, and it won't be long before the army wins, and it is time for the class to return to the court." ”

Nowadays, almost ninety percent of the places in Shangyang Kingdom have been pocketed by Daqi, and only the places bordering Shangyang Kingdom and Yanhu are still difficult to do.

Yanhu was originally a vassal state of Shangyang State, but Shangyang State and Daqi have been entangled for several years, coupled with the instability of Shangyang's internal politics, and now the deterrent power of Yanhu has been reduced a lot.

Now, if you want to pocket the entire territory of Shangyang Kingdom, you have to deal with these Yanhu people.

Especially Yanhu has developed well in recent years, and the nomads are also brave in fighting, compared to the army of Shangyang Kingdom, they are more fierce, more insidious and cunning, and it takes a little effort to deal with them.

Of course, these are all summaries, with the current morale and strength of the Great Qi army, although it is not said that it can fight with Yanhu again, but it is not too difficult to fight them back, honestly, and continue to be the vassal state of Great Qi.

After becoming a vassal state of Great Qi, Pei Yao will naturally give them a good benefit, but if you give it, if you don't give it, then you don't want to rob it.

If the army of Daqi didn't want to clash with the Yanhu people at this moment, retreated, and let them take a piece of meat, then the ambition of the Yanhu people swelled, and naturally they would not take Daqi in their eyes, and they would definitely be dishonest in the future and harass the border.

This is far away, just now, it is indeed as Fang Yu said, the queen's five princes have no chance to be unified, and she has always been favored, the four princes are now healthy, and because of Fang Jin, Huo Mingxuan, the prince of Qin who went north to expand the territory, has become courteous, in terms of it, Huo Mingxuan is really the uncle of the fourth prince.

And in the DPRK, Liu Qin has also emerged and is a new upstart in the DPRK.

With such a halo blessing, it can almost be determined that if there is no particularly big accident, the fourth prince will be the crown prince.

But when the light is too dazzling, it will also cause disaster, Fang Yu does not feel angry at all now, but does not dare to take it lightly, and the psychological pressure is not small.

What she can do is keep a low profile.

Again, something that someone else has the right to decide, take the initiative to give it to you, and you can continue, if you haven't spoken, you feel that that thing is already in your pocket, then it may be disgusting.

Even if Pei Yao already has a lot of preference for Fang Yu, but in this kind of thing, Fang Yu never dares to be wanton.

Next.

Prime Minister Lu and his wife entered the palace together.

In Fengxuan Palace, after a family of three exchanged rituals, the queen withdrew from the idle people, leaving only Tian Mo and Min Si to serve in the house.

"Father, mother, if you have anything to say to your daughter this time, just say it now, there are no outsiders anymore."

She opened her mouth, and Mrs. Lu sighed softly.

"How could this happen, what a good child, born just now a child is good? For my mother, I saw that you have lost a lot of weight, and this is really like a knife in my heart, my poor child. ”

When she said this, Mrs. Lu's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The distress is beyond words.

Seeing her mother like this, the queen couldn't help moistening her eyes, and the mother and daughter quickly picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of their eyes.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Lu Cheng said in a deep voice, "Now that the fifth prince is in poor health, he must have no chance with the position of the prince, what are you going to do next?" ”

"My daughter's current situation, it is almost impossible to have another prince, if it is for the long-term planning of the Lu family, it is feasible to select a girl of appropriate age from the clan and send it to the palace, give birth to a boy, and I will raise it." The queen whispered.

But she didn't expect that when she thought she had answered the answer that Prime Minister Lu wanted in her heart, she saw Prime Minister Lu shaking her head.

"I didn't mean to."
