After that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used the excuse of being busy with government affairs and stayed in the study of the East Palace every day. And Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is familiar with the palace affairs of the East Palace every day, and has many greetings with many internal and external women.

However, what neither of them expected was that the greatest impact of the Cold War during this period was not the East Palace, but the former harem outside the East Palace. Although everyone in the East Palace acted cautiously every day, they had no more worries, because Grandpa Fushuang had already taken care of everyone and made everyone feel at ease.

But outside the East Palace, there are frequent waves. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still idle, everyone can see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already overwhelming. Even His Majesty is just trying his best to suppress His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It was also during this time that the actions of the East Palace in the open and in the dark made the courtiers realize that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was no longer the mascot who was vacated by His Majesty and had the title of Prince before, but was actually trapped in the palace and the capital.

Such a change caught many people in the harem of the former dynasty and the harem off guard.

It was a hot summer, and Xiao Min and the officials and staff of the East Palace were discussing in the study together, and they couldn't help but be a little impatient due to the heat. Xiao Min seemed to be the most affected, he frequently wandered, and was softly reminded by the frost beside him several times.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Lord Wen asks for your opinion." When he came back to his senses, Xiao Min's expression was faint, "The East Palace should not interfere too much in the matter of the regent and queen mother of Beidi, otherwise it will inevitably be suspected of colluding with the barbarians." However, it is indeed time to put it on the agenda, and you can signal a few officials of Honglu Temple to mention it in the early dynasty.

Your Majesty is still letting Gu Fu be idle, and Gu naturally can't come out of this. However, this exchange between Beidi and the Ji Dynasty is the first time since the establishment of our dynasty. Many tribes in the north are watching the direction of Beidi's friendship with the Ji Dynasty, and they must not chill people's hearts because of this matter. ”

The subordinates and staff of the East Palace are the only ones who say yes.

Another person mentioned the marriage of His Royal Highness King Yu, "Your Highness, these days, Concubine Gu Guifei has frequently summoned the wives of various families, and wants to use the marriage to add a few more generals to His Royal Highness King Yu." Your Highness, what can we do about it? ”

"The minister thinks that it is better to be still than to be still, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is the leader of the noble daughters of the family. No matter how hard His Royal Highness King Yu tried, it was impossible to find a princess who had crossed His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, if His Royal Highness really obstructed it, wouldn't it make the courtiers and nobles misunderstand that His Royal Highness was narrow-minded? ”

"Lord Zhao's words are wrong, and the minister thinks ······" As they spoke, two or three people argued about the future Princess Yu, and Xiao Min interrupted them impatiently, "Okay, King Yu is not a lone marryer, he will marry whoever he likes." As long as he has the ability to let His Majesty give marriage, what is there to interfere with. ”

The rest of the people saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a bad mood today, so they didn't dare to dwell on this matter, and mentioned the matter of the Queen Mother again.

"Your Highness, since your wedding, the Queen Mother has obviously shown favor to you, can you deliberately win over the Queen Mother's mother's family? Although the queen mother has been hiding from the world for many years, she is still in the name of her mother, if she can win over the queen mother. ”

After that, the official did not make it clear, but the meaning was clear to everyone present.

"Don't you really know the reason why the imperial grandmother is kind to Lone? There is not much mother-son affection between the imperial grandmother and His Majesty, and it is all up to the ancestral etiquette to be able to sit firmly in the position of the queen mother. But Your Majesty now even wants to abolish the crown prince, is the position of the queen mother who is firmly seated by the ancestral etiquette still stable? ”

Another staff member said cautiously, "But Your Highness, if you don't win over the Empress Dowager, what if the Empress Dowager falls to the side of His Royal Highness King Yu?" This is not to be taken lightly, Your Highness. ”

The impatience in Xiao Min's tone was even stronger, "Do you really think that His Royal Highness King Yu is a stumbling block for Lonely? Glancing at the surprised eyes of the people present, Xiao Min said coldly, "Everyone keep your eyes open and take a good look, from beginning to end, King Yu is not worthy of being a lonely opponent." Who is Lone's stumbling block, do you need to be clearer about Lone? ”

As if thinking of something, everyone present was slightly discolored. "Your Highness, what do you mean ······"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Min had already gotten up and walked out, leaving only a sentence that made the officials and staff of the East Palace ashamed, "Now that Lone has been ordered by His Majesty to be idle, if you don't have anything to say that Lone doesn't know, you don't have to go back and forth to the East Palace to attract attention." ”

Throwing his sleeves away, Xiao Min's sleeves brought a cold wind, which surprised everyone present. Father-in-law Whisshuang trotted to catch up with His Royal Highness the Prince, wiping his sweaty forehead as he ran. Father-in-law Fushuang felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had become more and more irritable these days, and it was estimated that he was already hovering on the verge of an outbreak.

In the past few days, every day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little free, Father-in-law Fushuang feels that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Princess about the situation several times, but I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince's anger has not disappeared, and the words have been swallowed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when they reach His Royal Highness the Prince's mouth.

The subordinate officials and staff who were left in place all looked at the back of Grandpa Fushuang with some sympathy.

Shoukang Palace Changyin Pavilion.

Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who was worried about by her father-in-law, is now listening to the play with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and Gu Guifei in the Shoukang Palace. Coincidentally, the eldest princess of Ruyang is actually here today.

However, today's eldest princess of Ruyang is not as unscrupulous as before, but is much more cautious, and she didn't even say a few words. The queen mother cared about her, and the eldest princess of Ruyang only smiled reluctantly, only saying that she was fine. Everyone only thought that she was worried about her daughter's marriage, and they all said a few words of relief.

Only Gu Guifei showed disdain, and the words she said were not so much relief as sarcasm. The Empress Dowager frowned, but it was estimated that His Royal Highness King Yu was in the limelight, so she didn't say anything.

After a while, the stage began to babble and sing. The first song I listened to today was "Magu Offering Birthday" hand-picked by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is old, and she loves to watch such a birthday celebration track. The other people present were all her juniors, so they naturally flattered her and praised the play without mentioning it.

After the song was finished, the track list was handed to everyone on the field again. Empress Wen hastily swept the play list, and was about to order a festive play at random, but she didn't expect the eldest princess of Ruyang, who had been silent, to suddenly speak.

"I see that this "The Legend of the West Chamber" is good, can the imperial sister-in-law let this play be sung on stage first?" This is nothing important, and the eldest princess of Ruyang is obviously a little nervous and stubborn, and Queen Wen is not willing to argue with others on such a trivial matter, so she also responded with a smile.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through the play, the eldest princess of Ruyang suddenly cried and cried, "Queen Mother, you have always cherished your juniors the most, I beg you to have mercy on my Yan'er." In a few months, Yan'er will be sixteen years old, and she has not yet decided to marry. I don't know how many people outside laugh at her for being an empty county gentleman, and I, as a mother, are really like a knife. ”

Everyone was taken aback by the appearance of the eldest princess of Ruyang, and when they reacted, Queen Wen took the lead and said, "Sister Ruyang, what's wrong, some little ladies are married early, and their mother's family is reluctant to marry her." Rongde is the county monarch of His Majesty's own title, even if he stays until he is eighteen years old, he still asks for a lot of people to marry. ”

Previously, Empress Wen did not consider letting the crown prince marry Rongde County, because at that time she still had a hint of fantasy about easing the father-son relationship between His Majesty and the prince. But the situation changed abruptly, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suddenly sent by His Majesty to the royal expedition, which also completely made Queen Wen see the true face of the person next to him.

Today's eldest princess of Ruyang is crying miserably, and in the eyes of Queen Wen, she is just the same enemy as His Majesty, so naturally she will not really care about the marriage of Rongde County, but she is just a few words of comfort.

But for some reason, Gu Guifei suddenly came to her senses, and while glancing at Queen Wen with her eyes, she said with something in her words, "Why don't you achieve the infatuation of Rongde County Jun." The concubine has heard that the prince of Rongde County loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already has a princess. I'm afraid that Rongde County Jun is also willing to be a good concubine. ”

The meaning of not yin and yang in these words is too heavy, which not only satirizes the shame of Rongde County, but also seems that His Royal Highness the Prince's promise to only love the nine ladies of the Lu family above the main hall is just a passing cloud.

"Sister Gu's words are wrong, the prince loves the princess, how could he marry Concubine Liangdi when he is newly married Yan'er. However, His Royal Highness King Yu is also in his youth, but he is quite compatible with the monarch of Rongde County. "Queen Wen didn't take it slowly, and she was dignified.

The two of you come and go, and the swords and swords are hidden in the gentle words.

Until the Queen Mother finally got tired of listening, "Okay, queen, concubine, you all don't say a word." Rongde County's young Mu Ai is also human nature. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Yu are also nobles and dragons and phoenixes among the people. The marriage of the children depends on fate. ”

The two of them are juniors in the end, and they can only keep their mouths shut when they hear this. Gu Guifei glanced at Lu Bingzhen hatefully, only to feel that she was so lucky to escape again. Gu Guifei originally wanted to ask the crown princess if she was willing to give a concubine to His Royal Highness the crown prince, whether she was virtuous enough. But now there is no time to say this.

was so disturbed by the three of them, the queen mother only felt that today's drama was boring, and she looked back at Lu Bingzhen, who was serving respectfully. is neither humble nor arrogant, dignified and elegant, so that the Queen Mother also likes it a little in her heart. Thinking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Queen Mother couldn't help but leave the Crown Princess.

"Queen, you are the master of the harem. The concubine is also the lord of the first house. Presumably, there are a lot of things, and the mourning family will not keep you much. "Gu Guifei originally wanted to say that she wanted to honor the Queen Mother. was said by the queen mother, "The crown princess is a good child, she will naturally honor the mourning family, you are busy, you are all a family, you don't have to be so polite." ”
