He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

However, Mr. Han Ge has been staying in Kyoto and happened to leave Kyoto before Xie Jingyan's rebellion. He must have known Xie Jingyan's plan in advance. He was Xie Jingyan's mentor. If Xie Jingyan rebelled, there was no guarantee that Xie Jingyin would not vent his anger on Xie Jingyan on Han Ge. Old man.

Eunuch Yuan came to deliver the imperial edict. His visit had already delayed a lot of time, so he didn't stay any longer and returned to the palace.

Fengyi Palace.

Queen Song sat there and watched Princess Shouchun practicing her dance.

The more she looked at Queen Song, the more she frowned.

With this lazy dance, how can she compare with Princess Xi Liang?

She really spoiled her daughter rotten.

Princess Shouchun danced for less than two-quarters of an hour before she was too tired to move and said, "Mother, can my daughter stop practicing?"

Queen Song said, "Do you want to embarrass yourself in public?"

Princess Shouchun pouted and said, "My father has more than one princess."

"But you are the only legitimate princess," Queen Song said.

Princesses of Xiliang either don't compete, or they only compete with their direct princesses, and will never lower themselves.

"Keep practicing."

Empress Song had a non-negotiable expression on her face. Princess Shouchun felt extremely aggrieved and had no good impression of Princess Xiliang who was on her way to Kyoto at the moment.

Queen Song was serving tea, and a palace maid outside quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words into Queen Song's ear. Queen Song's face changed drastically, "Say it again! Who did the emperor want to be the examiner for this autumn period?!"

The palace maid said, "The emperor asked Mr. Han Ge to take the exam this autumn..."

Queen Song's face was as cold as frost, and there was a hint of panic and uneasiness in her eyes that was not easy to detect.

Ever since Mrs. Yan’s house was raided and beheaded, Mr. Han Ge has resigned. Everyone in the civil and military dynasties knows that Mr. Han Ge resigned because he was implicated in the Concubine Chen case. No one dares to touch the emperor’s bad luck. After all these years, he is afraid that No one dared to mention Mr. Han Ge in front of the emperor, and it was impossible for the emperor to take the initiative to let Mr. Han Ge return to the court.

A trace of speculation flashed through Queen Song's heart. She suppressed it with all her strength and said, "Why would the emperor think of letting Mr. Han Ge take the Qiu Wei exam this time?"

The palace maid said, "Both Prime Minister Zuo and Duke Mao Guo recommended candidates, but the emperor was not very satisfied. The eighth prince wrote an excerpt about imperial examination fraud with the help of Prince Ling. The eighth prince could not answer the emperor's questions, so he left the palace. We brought Prince Ling into the palace, it was Mr. Han Ge who was recommended by Prince Ling..."

It's King Ling again!

In the entire Chu State, only Prince Ling dared to mention Concubine Chen and those related to Concubine Chen's case so brazenly in front of the emperor.

Not even the Queen Mother dared to reveal the Emperor's scars.

Queen Song sat on the phoenix chair, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles.

The emperor has already promoted too many people recommended by King Ling and those close to King Ling. In just a few months, the promoted King Ling has a power that can compete with the eldest prince and King Jin, and even overwhelm them.

If Mr. Han Ge really returns to the court and takes charge of the Qiu Wei exams this time, the eldest prince and King Jin may have to join forces to compete with King Ling.

Queen Song's face was as gloomy as a cold pool, and her neatly manicured nails dug into her flesh.

What does the emperor want to do? !

Concubine Chen betrayed him and trampled on his sincerity. Does the emperor still want to hand over the position of crown prince to Prince Ling? !

If she hadn't been banned, or if she hadn't been allowed to interfere in politics in the harem, Empress Song would have gone to the imperial study to find the emperor.

Right now, she could only endure it. If she was anxious, the Queen Mother would be anxious too, and she didn't believe that the Queen Mother would just sit back and do nothing.

Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother felt a little sleepy and was about to take a nap on the couch. Just as she was about to get up, the maid outside came in and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here."

By the time the palace maid made the report, the eldest prince had already entered the palace. He was walking in a hurry. The queen mother saw him and said, "You look so anxious. What happened?"

The eldest prince said, "Father, I gave this Qiu Wei exam to the old master of Han Pavilion."

"Mr. Han Ge?"

The Queen Mother didn't react for a moment.

The eldest prince said, "It's Mr. Han Ge who was implicated in Concubine Chen's case..."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Why did the Emperor let Mr. Han Ge preside over Qiu Wei?"

The eldest prince said, "It was recommended by Prince Ling."

The Queen Mother's brows were already frowning, but this time they were even more so that they could kill a fly.

The eldest prince said, "Prince Ling's power in the court is no longer inferior to mine. If there is another Han Ge elder, I'm afraid..."

There is no need to say clearly what the eldest prince is afraid of, the queen mother also knows it.

The eldest prince and Prince Jin have been fighting for so many years, and King Jin has never made the eldest prince anxious to this point. This time he is really afraid. His father's love for Prince Ling made him trance back to before Concubine Chen's accident. In the past, my father had doted on Prince Ling unconditionally.

The Queen Mother did not speak, and the eldest prince said, "We must never let Han Ge Lao return to the court..."

The Queen Mother didn't want to, but she had no say in this matter. Although Young Master Han died in the Yan Mansion, there was no proof that Young Master Han was related to the case of Concubine Chen. Otherwise, Mr. Han Ge would not just resign. Since the emperor was persuaded by King Ling to hand over Qiu Wei to Mr. Han Ge, she went to put pressure on the emperor to change his mind. It was the harem that was intervening in politics.

She wanted the emperor to make the eldest prince the crown prince. Since the eldest prince was the emperor's eldest son, this request was not too much.

The Queen Mother could not figure out what the Emperor was going to do.

Seeing that the eldest prince was anxious and already regarded Prince Ling as his biggest rival, the Queen Mother said, "You must not interfere with Mr. Han Ge's affairs."

The eldest prince looked at the Queen Mother in astonishment, "Are you going to let Prince Ling grow bigger?"

The Queen Mother said, "Are you going to fight with King Ling and let King Jin reap the benefits?"

The eldest prince was silent.

He didn't want to overthrow the king and establish a crown prince, but he also didn't want the king to ascend to the throne.

He was unwilling to do anything that would allow King Jin to take advantage of him.

The Queen Mother said, "No matter how powerful Prince Ling is, if he cannot reverse the case for Concubine Chen, he will never be crowned Crown Prince."

The Queen Mother was the eldest prince's biggest supporter in his fight for the throne. The queen mother's words successfully calmed the eldest prince, and he was no longer so uneasy.

After the eldest prince left, the queen mother raised her hand to rub her brow.

There was a rather tired look on his face, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes that couldn't be dispelled. He was even more uneasy than the eldest prince.

Aunt Zhao has served the Queen Mother for most of her life, and has never seen the Queen Mother show such an expression. She called, "The Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother did not speak, only waved her hands.

The Queen Mother wanted to be alone, so Aunt Zhao quietly withdrew.

Royal study room.

The emperor is reviewing the memorial.

When Eunuch Yuan returned, he came back empty-handed. The emperor glanced at him sideways and said, "Did Mr. Han Ge accept the order?"

Eunuch Yuan knew it as soon as he heard it, "The emperor still understands Mr. Han Ge, and Mr. Han Ge refuses to become an official in the court."

The emperor asked, "Where is the imperial edict?"

Duke Yuan said fairly, "I sent this to King Ling, asking him to persuade Han Ge to get old."

The emperor was turning over the memorial. When he heard the words, his hand stopped and he glanced at Duke Yuan Gongdao, "Should I give you to Prince Ling?"

Eunuch Yuan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please don't scare me. I have been serving you for half my life. You can kill me, but you cannot drive me away."

The emperor asked, "Why did you send the imperial edict to Prince Ling?"

Eunuch Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I can't persuade Mr. Han Ge to accept the decree. I'm afraid that King Ling will misunderstand that the emperor is perfunctory and hand over the imperial edict to him. If he can't persuade Mr. Han Ge, he can't blame the emperor and the servants." Already..."

The emperor smiled softly and said, "You do everything well."

"No, I don't dare to praise the emperor..."

Eunuch Yuan's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

too difficult.

Why did he get caught between the emperor and Prince Ling and his son?

"Get up."

Eunuch Yuan got permission and then got up.
