"What does Father mean?"

Facing Prime Minister Lu Cheng, the queen was quite surprised at the moment and was a little stunned.

"You are the queen of Daqi, no matter which prince ascends to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor in the future, you will be respected as the queen mother, in the final analysis, no matter what happens to the five princes in the future, as long as you do not make mistakes and sit firmly in the middle palace, the Lu family will not be sad in the future, and you and the five princes will naturally be able to prosper for a lifetime."

Prime Minister Lu opened his mouth word by word.

Every word he said at this moment was unexpected by the queen, so when Prime Minister Lu finished speaking, the queen was quite silent for a while.

After a while, he asked, "Is my father here to persuade me to give up?" ”

"As a father, I naturally look forward to you and the five princes being able to be honored, but the current situation, whether it is the previous dynasty or the harem, is different from before, since the emperor suppressed the wealthy families of the Shi family, the father has been thinking about it, until now the five princes have happened, for the father, I finally figured it out, and the prosperity must decline."

When he said this, Prime Minister Lu Cheng showed tiredness and old age in an instant.

He has been an official for many years, and he has always been high-spirited, this is the first time, the queen saw her father like this, for a while, a sudden unwillingness welled up in her heart, and she immediately asked rhetorically.

"But Dad, how can we guarantee that if we give up the position of prince to others, the superior will treat the Lu family well in the future? Dad, there are hundreds of people up and down the Lu family, how can they put so many lives, the foundation that the Lu family has accumulated for generations, into the hands of others! ”

"Yes, how can it be, but child, have you ever thought that in the past, our Lu family and the emperor fought side by side, and the emperor hoped that we would be strong and could help, but now we and the emperor are monarchs and ministers."

Prime Minister Lu Cheng's gaze sank, with a bit of vicissitudes.

The queen pursed her lips, "The Lu family has never had a heart of disobedience. ”

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, this sentence has been taught to you by the father." Prime Minister Lu Cheng said in a deep voice, his eyes became a little sharper, "Yuehua, my father asks you, do you think that the position of the prince should be the heir of the Lu family's bloodline, or that it should be inherited by the five princes?" ”

"I didn't, I just"

"If not, why do you want to use the word 'let' for the position of the prince?"

Without waiting for the queen to argue, Prime Minister Lu interrupted her directly.

"If you regard it as something in your pocket, you will feel that others are taking it, and you are not earning it, but who the prince appoints is decided by the emperor, and ignoring the holy will is already a disobedient move."

Choked by Prime Minister Lu's words, the queen wanted to defend for a while but didn't know what to say.

I opened my mouth several times, but I didn't make a sound.

Prime Minister Lu also sighed, "Your brothers, my father has already seen it, it is okay to keep it, if you want to make great achievements in the future, I am afraid it is impossible, in the next generation of our Lu family, it is a pity that he married a wife surnamed Xu, although the last incident did not involve his father-in-law's family, but I am afraid that the emperor has something in his heart, and the official road will be bumpy in the future, plus now the emperor is using new people everywhere, it can be seen that his heart of reform, in this case, such as our Lu family, If you want to preserve the fundamentals and seek the long-term, you should keep a low profile, at least when the Holy One is in power today, it is right to restrain the edge. ”

"Is my father willing?" The queen gritted her teeth, her eyes were slightly red, revealing her unwillingness, "My child is a descendant, originally healthy, intelligent, kind and lovely, he will definitely be worthy of that position in the future!" ”

"But now it backfires, child, I feel sorry for you for my father, and I feel sorry for the five princes, but now you are fighting again, to support other princes, this is really the same as the world, gave up your own five princes, for the father to send you into the East Palace, it is indeed to save the glory of the ancestors, relying on the future prince, let the Lu family go further, but now that he is older, he can see a lot clearly, the Lu family is already at its peak, and the prosperity must decline, it is time to loosen a loose, stay in the green mountains, so as not to worry about no firewood in the future."

Prime Minister Lu Cheng spoke earnestly, obviously thinking about it for a long time.

Although the queen didn't want to watch her mother's family send the other woman into the palace and let herself plan and fight for her, but now her father opened his mouth to persuade her to give up, retire, and keep it, which she didn't expect and never thought about.

Since marrying Pei Yao, she has consciously shouldered the rise and fall of the Lu family, and she has not dared to relax for many years.

Falling into a sudden need for her to give up, of course, makes people's hearts turn around for a while.

And seeing that the mother sitting next to her had not said a word, the queen also understood that this was the common idea of her father and mother.

"Mother knows that you feel uncomfortable, if the five princes are good, we naturally have the power to compete, but now not to mention the emperor's intentions, the forces behind Zhao Guifei are not the past, and if you continue to fight, you must be the enemy of her, that is a more difficult road to walk, if you are not careful, you will never recover, you have worked so hard to earn it, and the five princes can't catch it, why bother to fight for other people's children? Daddy and Niang have already seen it, there is the Xu family in the past, and there is now Concubine Wan in the back, and Daddy and Niang only hope that you are safe. ”

Seeing that the queen's gaze moved over, Mrs. Lu also said these words softly.

Hearing this, the queen retracted her gaze and was silent for a long time before she said.

"What my father and mother mean, my daughter understands, and my daughter will think about it."

When the Lu family left the palace, Pei Yao sent someone to deliver a few supplements.

It was for Prime Minister Lu and his wife.

This can be regarded as appeasement, after all, that kind of thing happened to the fifth prince, Pei Yao naturally wanted to express it.

In addition, Pei Yao is also inquiring to see what the Lu family will do next.

If he wants to send someone into the harem, he will not accept it.

Pei Yao now looks at strange women, and he only feels that there are all selfish calculations under the skin, and he really has no expectations.

There are very few people in his harem, and there are still all kinds of disasters one after another, and he doesn't dare to think about what kind of Shura field it will be when there are more people.

If you want to say that the draft concubine is to spread the leaves, Pei Yao feels that it is enough now.

Next, not only does he have to take care of the newly opened territory, but he also wants to make a difference in the sea, and he really can't separate the harem.

When the army returns to the dynasty, Fang Yu's baby should also be born, and at that time, Pei Yao has some things that he wants to finalize.

Of course, the mind is different everywhere.

Prime Minister Lu entered the palace this time, and outsiders didn't know what had happened.

Just watching, the queen has been silent lately.

What the outside world was looking forward to, Concubine Zhao's show off in front of the queen, did not happen.

The Northern Expedition is over, and Pei Yao is busy with all the things of the previous dynasty, and he is also lacking in skills and does not often go to the harem.

For a while, the palace also fell into a strange atmosphere inexplicably.

The queen's depression, Zhao Guifei's low-key.

None of the expected situations appeared, as if everyone was behind closed doors and began to live their lives, but it was as if they were waiting for some opportunity.

This situation lasted until two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, when Fang Yu was about to give birth, and at this time, Fengxuan Palace sent someone to ask her to come over to talk.
