Qiao Ruolan has had an obsession with Pei Yao since she was a child, she likes Pei Yao, not because she likes his appearance, not because she likes his excellence, not because she likes his temperament, but because she likes his kind of care for Qi Yunge.

His kindness to Qi Yunge made her jealous, and no one had ever treated her like this.

Pei Yao tolerated all Qi Yunge's little temper, was willing to pay silently for Qi Yunge, and would always come out to protect her when Qi Yunge needed him, this feeling Qiao Ruolan had never gotten before, even her mother would not pay attention to her joys, sorrows, and sorrows, let alone others.

She also wanted to get this feeling of being protected, so she always wanted to get close to Pei Yao from time to time, but Pei Yao only had Qi Yunge in her eyes.

So she worked harder, what Qi Yunge did, she must do better than her, but even if she worked so hard and surpassed Qi Yunge in everything, Pei Yao still only had Qi Yunge in her eyes, and she couldn't find her shadow at all.

The sense of powerlessness after this kind of hard work made her resent Qi Yunge, and she embarrassed her everywhere.

Later, when Pei Yao said in front of a group of ministers in the main hall that he had no relationship with the Zhenbei General's Mansion and would not marry Qi Yunge, God knows how happy she was, because there was no Qi Yunge in Pei Yao's world, then he might be able to see himself.

However, her mother planned that her stupid cousin Qiao Xi would marry Pei Yao, she was naturally unwilling, but fortunately, in the end, she still married Pei Yao as she wished.

But Pei Yao's eyes no longer have the original light, he is no longer the young man who will smirk when he looks at Qi Yunge, his eyes are indifferent or indifferent.

But at the last Queen Mother's birthday banquet, she clearly saw Pei Yao's eyes looking at Shen Yanshu, the same way he looked at Qi Yunge!

Looking at Pei Yao's distant back, Qiao Ruolan collapsed to the ground and cried loudly.

Maybe today's questioning was simply because she went to say something to the emperor, but because this matter involved Shen Yanshu, so Pei Yao was so nervous, right?

What else is there unclear about Qiao Ruolan?

"Shen Yanshu, you wait, I will let you disappear into this world like Qi Yunge. Qiao Ruolan said in a low voice, the hatred bursting out of her eyes was as hot as a raging fire.

————

The ministers in the main hall are arranged on both sides, which is the time of the early dynasty.

The eunuch shouted sharply: "There is a book, nothing to retreat." ”

An Dinghou stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report in the Yuzhou Mansion of Weichen, so I will leave for Yuzhou tomorrow, and I hereby report it." ”

The emperor flashed his eyes slightly, stared at An Dinghou for a long time, and then asked: "Now that the Queen Mother is still on the sickbed, I am afraid that she misses the Jiang family very much, why don't you stay with her in Chang'an for a few more days?"

Andinghou said: "The minister and the child have been in Chang'an for almost a month, Yuzhou has a lot of affairs, only the women at home may be difficult to solve, and the emperor forgives me, as for the queen mother's condition, only the troublesome doctor does his best, and also bothers the palace people to think more." ”

Dingxi Hou, who was on the side, said: "It is true that Anding Hou has been coming to Chang'an for some days, and the Queen Mother will be blessed with blessings, and she will definitely be fine." ”

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair sank his face, looking at the appearance of An Dinghou, he always felt that he had found something, but he felt that it was impossible.

He couldn't refuse such a request, after all, the Queen Mother had been sick for half a month but there was no improvement, no one knew when she would be fine, if she returned to Yuzhou at this time, he couldn't accuse them of anything, after all, they had already done what they could.

He said, "In that case, let's go back." ”

The secretary of the military department stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that several princes have had accidents one after another, and the Great Zhou has reached the time when the prince should be established. ”

The emperor glanced at him, but said lightly: "It's still early." ”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry also stepped forward and said: "The minister thinks that what Lord Yu said is reasonable, and the establishment of the prince is conducive to the stability of the country, the stability of the people, and it is also conducive to the affairs of the society. ”

"The minister feels reasonable, and hopes that the emperor will make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Then several more ministers stood up, and the emperor looked at them and suddenly asked, "Then according to what the ministers have seen, who should be appointed as the crown prince?"

When the emperor asked, everyone was silent.

Although his tone seemed to be asking, all the ministers could hear that the emperor was already unhappy, and everyone now decided that King Ling was the best candidate for the crown prince, but the emperor didn't seem to think so.

So when the emperor asked them who they were looking for, everyone kept their mouths shut.

The emperor glanced at the ministers below and said, "Since there is no one to recommend, this matter will be discussed later." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers feel that King Ling has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, is modest and prudent, and has good political achievements, so he is the best candidate for the prince. Shang Shu Meijue stood up and said.

The emperor was slightly stunned and looked at Mei Jue.

He suddenly sneered: "The best candidate, meaning, he is going to sit firmly on my throne?"

Mei Jue bowed her waist and bowed her head and said: "The minister has no such intention, but I just think that among the princes, only King Ling is the best, and he is also the most suitable for the position of prince." ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Everyone didn't expect the emperor to be so disgusted by the matter of the crown prince.

Yan Qinghan stood aside, his eyes flashed slightly, and he stood up.

His posture was straight and straight, looking particularly eye-catching, and he saluted and said: "Father, if there is any deficiency in the son, please point it out." ”

The emperor's eyes moved to Yan Qinghan's body, perhaps he hadn't seriously lived with this son for a long time, Yan Li always felt that Yan Qinghan seemed too unfamiliar, and he said: "You are very good, there is nothing to change." ”

Yan Qinghan raised his eyes and looked at Yan Li: "Then why didn't my father make his son the crown prince?"

The entire hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard, and Yan Qinghan's question made Yan Li speechless.

"This matter will be discussed in the future, retreat from the court!" the emperor flicked his sleeves and walked straight away.

Only a bunch of ministers who looked at each other were left at a loss.

Yan Qinghan stood in place, not knowing what he was thinking in his deep eyes.

Mei Jue stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, don't be discouraged. ”

Yan Qinghan bowed slightly: "Thank you, Lord Mei, for recommending this king." ”

The military department Shangshu also stepped forward and said: "Your Highness is very powerful, and the emperor will figure it out sooner or later." ”

Shen Kangzhi stood aside, but he didn't say anything, the emperor's approach was surprising, but he was not incomprehensible, Yan Li was arrogant, as an emperor, no one would be allowed to challenge his authority.

He can choose the prince by himself, but if this prince is forcibly chosen, he will naturally not be happy.

Shen Kangzhi shook his head and sighed, it seems that this matter has a long way to go.
