Chapter 40: The Harem

Helian Hao returned to the side hall and went to the study to prepare to practice calligraphy.

The brush was dipped in ink, but it was delayed. A drop of ink suddenly fell on the snow-like rice paper, quickly swam away, and I fainted.

Helian Hao was in a trance, remembering her bright eyes just now, pure and clean.

They didn't even ask her name.

The palace maid called her the county lord and mentioned Mrs. Ji again. The surname is Ji, and he is the county lord, and there is no other place to meet the court except for Jihou Mansion.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Courage has a heavy army, if he has his support......

Helian Hao's eyes gradually sank, making people unable to see his emotions clearly.

After all, he put down the brush and pushed open the window, and the cold wind poured in at once, blowing his face painfully.

"Aren't you cold?" suddenly thought of the look on her face, pure and bright, as clean as snow.

Is it cold?

Suddenly, I felt a little cold.

If a person walks in the dark all the year round, he does not feel dark. One day when I saw the sun, and when I returned to the darkness, I felt that everything was suffocating.

Cold, presumably, too.

The cold wind blew away his sudden restlessness, and when he opened his eyes again, he was the cold and self-contained fourth prince again.

After Shuliangren died, the queen told the emperor that she was willing to raise Helian Hao, the fourth prince was still young and frail, and he looked really pitiful, and he was so moved by his sincerity, as if the person who killed his mother with a rod had nothing to do with her.

This was not a big deal, and the emperor allowed it on the spot. The queen was secretly happy in her heart, and she could only feel at ease by putting this kid under her nose. He Qiyu is also very happy, and he can still see the fourth brother every day in the future.

Helian Hao hid all his anger and hatred, respectfully kowtowed to the emperor and thanked him, and called the queen mother.

Over the years, there have been many dangers, but he has escaped many disasters and grown up to the age of sixteen.

Sixteen years old means that he can move out of the palace, open a mansion and build a government, and many things he wants to do can start step by step.

He Qiyu has taken a concubine, but has not married a wife, and the queen has been secretly looking for a suitable candidate, so that the position of the eldest prince and concubine is still vacant.

The queen's mother's family is powerful, but she has no military power, so the daughter of the loyal and brave marquis with a heavy army is undoubtedly the best choice.

The queen tested Mrs. Ji today, and although the other party played a circle of Tai Chi, she also listened to the implication.

Now the emperor has four sons, the eldest prince He Qiyu, the fourth prince He Lianhao, the sixth prince He Yunyu, and the eighth prince Hermirui.

The eldest prince is gentle and dignified, the fourth prince is cold and withdrawn, the sixth prince is shrewd and intelligent, the eighth prince is young and immature, the emperor has not established the crown prince for a long time, the government and the opposition are speculating about the holy will, and most people are optimistic about the eldest prince and the sixth prince.

Since the birth of the sixth prince and the eighth prince, and because of the cautious and timidity of the fourth prince over the years, the queen's attention has gradually shifted from him to the two little princes.

Although the eighth prince is young, his biological mother Concubine Xi is being favored, and the emperor will inevitably deviate from the direction if the wind blows too much on the pillow.

In this way, Helian Hao has become the most insignificant one.

With the help of the Marquis of Zhongyong, her son would be closer to the crown prince.

The queen's abacus sounded, but Jihou Mansion was a little worried.

Today, when Marquis Ji entered the palace to face the saint, the emperor asked him as if unintentionally: "Aiqing thinks who among the four princes is worthy of the position of crown prince?"

The queen talked to Mrs. Ji about Ji Qingli's marriage again.

As soon as the two are combined, this is for them to take sides.
