Run away if you are lonely

Here the queen mother came over with a darling cry, and when she opened the curtain, she saw her own grandson lying weakly on the bed, her face was red, and she was a little hot to the touch.She held down Yuan Xiao distressedly, preventing him from standing up and saluting. "What's the matter? Didn't the emperor say that you are getting better? Why does Aijia look a little serious. But what other discomforts do you have?"

Yuan Xiao got up slightly, leaned half on the head of the bed, and said sincerely: "The grandson should have saluted grandma——"

"What does the silly boy say?" The Queen Mother touched Yuan Xiao's forehead, a little worried, "It's a little hot."

—Of course it’s hot.

I have been in the sun for half a day just now, can it not be hot?

Chunlan generously gave up the space to the grandparent and grandson, and said thoughtfully, "Your maidservant will wait outside."

The queen mother glanced at her and hummed.

After Chunlan left, the Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family heard that someone poisoned your food last time, so there is such a thing."

When Yuan Xiao returned to Jingtai Palace, Chunlan heard about this.Only then did I know that Gulzhen had revealed everything at the banquet, and that the third prince had instigated Wen Yi to dance the sword.Fortunately, he reacted quickly, so he didn't miss it.At that time, the prince thought, he can't blame him for messing up the Fuxi Palace that night with a little plan. It turned out that everything was preordained.This is revenge for Wen Yi.

In such a trance, he didn't bother to answer the queen mother. In the eyes of the queen mother, the prince frowned slightly, with a look of suffering.She was originally dissatisfied with Yuan Xiao's lack of real power even though he was the crown prince. Now that her grandson is being bullied under her nose, Yuxi is hitting her face and scratching her flesh and blood. Made a decision.He only comforted him: "Don't be afraid. Grandma is here, and she will never make the person who hurt you better."

It was just Yuan Xiao who recalled the past: "?" Looking at the empress dowager's pity look a little confused, she didn't figure out the time of this desertion. The empress dowager wanted to understand what was going on.

He cautiously said: "Perhaps it was unintentional, anyway, the maid of the day is gone, so grandma—"

"Can you count if you don't have it?" But the Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "I have never seen what the palace looks like. The House of Internal Affairs has records of those who have entered and left the palace. Even if the maid is gone, The Ai family can also know where she came from, where she has been, and who she knows. If you really want to find out, it can be done if you don't say one word."

Not only did she say this to Yuan Xiao, but she was also very tough on the emperor.

Two or three months since the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she knew that the Qianyuan clan was no longer under her control, so she didn't want to get involved.It's just that these people are extraordinarily bold nowadays, and they bully her grandson openly, so don't blame her for being rude.Yuan Xiao bears the status of a prince, and some people don't take him seriously. What if Xingyuan is not a prince?

The queen mother figured it out.

Such things as power are absolutely inseparable in the palace.To be soft-hearted is undoubtedly to hand the knife into the hands of others.

"Emperor. The prince was poisoned——"

Emperor Yuan said: "It is food that restrains each other."

"..." The Empress Dowager smiled, "Okay. It's just that the food is incompatible. If this kind of thing happens in the palace, it's because of the problem of the imperial cook or the people who deliver the vegetables. Or it's because the people in the palace don't take good care of them. Aijiaben treats it as a problem." It was an accident, but the emperor didn't say anything and didn't punish anyone, what if there are more accidents like this in the future?"

She used her identity as the empress dowager to come to her door, and Emperor Yuan not only couldn't refuse the door, but had to greet her in person.At this moment, seeing the posture of provoking the teacher to ask the crime, I also know that this matter cannot be done well.Originally, when this incident happened that day, he, the queen mother and many people in the palace were all outside to worship the Buddha, so they didn't know the details of it.Afterwards, Yuan Xiao took the initiative not to mention it, and he didn't suffer any disaster, so Emperor Yuan didn't intend to take this opportunity to make drastic changes.He never knew that this might be someone forcing him to investigate, force him to do it.

Can Emperor Yuan follow his wishes?cannot.

No matter whether it is good or bad after the investigation, a group of people must be dealt with, and perhaps some of them have deeper roots.

Freezing three feet does not happen in a day, and the trees become forests, and the roots cannot be pulled out by cutting a few trees.

But the Queen Mother—as the mother of the Yuan family in the old dynasty, is the grandmother of the current prince.She doesn't care about these things, even if it's three feet of ice or a forest, it has to be her grandson's to take it seriously.Other people's ice and forest have nothing to do with her.She can't wait to chop it clean.

"What the Empress Dowager said is true. I was negligent. It's just that the maid who delivered the wrong food that day committed suicide, so let's forget about it and save Xiao'er's blessings. He is still ill, so there is so much blood."

The empress dowager who said this sneered in her heart again and again, and she was blessed. Didn't King Sheng see less blood when he was killing on the battlefield back then?It is the most ridiculous to say the word "fear of seeing blood" from his mouth.But since the emperor wanted to play dumb with her, the queen mother didn't want to be aggressive.She was happy to sell the emperor's face. "The emperor is thinking about it. However, Aijia's heart is uneasy. I have a request, and I ask the emperor to agree."

Since the queen mother took a step back, Emperor Yuan was also happy to take a step back.

I heard the Queen Mother say: "The Ai family wants the Ministry of Internal Affairs to submit the information about the maid. Even if she is gone, the Ai family must also know where the person who caused my grandson to suffer was recruited and who was taught. , they can’t even serve food well.”

When the empress dowager and the emperor said these words, the empress, as the mother of a country, was naturally by her side.She remained silent all this time, and only interrupted a few words at this moment: "There are so many people in the palace, I'm afraid it may not be easy for the House of Internal Affairs to investigate."

"If it's not easy to check, you have to check." But the queen mother glanced at her and said lightly, "The Ai family has been in charge of the harem for decades. No one knows better than the Ai family what the system in the palace is. Although Jin'er manages the harem well , but in terms of qualifications, it's a little shallow. But as a queen, you should know that no matter who there are in the palace, they must be recorded in the book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Otherwise—"

The queen mother smiled and said: "Could it be that the queen has neglected her duties?"

"..."

"The empress is so capable, so naturally she wouldn't make such a mistake." The empress dowager turned to ask the Yuan emperor, "What does the emperor think?"

Emperor Yuan: "..." He glanced at the empress, whose face was slightly pale, "The empress has heard what the empress has said. In the future, if she is not good at handling internal affairs, Jin'er can ask the empress for advice."

The queen tried her best to smile: "Your Majesty is right. The concubine has been educated."

This is of course a matter for the future, and now the Queen Mother has made up her mind, determined to take advantage of Yuan Xiao's birthday, please pray for the king to come in and see her.King Qi is the prince's uncle, and in the eyes of the queen mother, he should be the closest person besides Emperor Jing.She looked at the prince, and her mind was full of thoughts.If you want to gain a foothold, it may not be enough to just have the king as your backer.

The Queen Mother only knew that Yuan Xiao grew up in Liangzhou, but she didn't know how the Liangzhou border guard He Minglou was related to Yuan Xiao.Now He Minglou has soldiers in his hands, Yuan Qi'an's uncle Sun Bozhong also has soldiers in his hands, and the empress's father is the left minister of the court, equal to Xiao Tingzhi.In this way, the prince's foundation is the weakest.

She stroked Yuan Xiao's head, pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does Xiao'er have a girl he likes?"

"Ah?" Yuan Xiao, who was still thinking about how to win the Empress Dowager's sympathy, was stunned for a while, but couldn't react for a while. "What woman."

The queen mother smiled and said: "You are already seventeen. A few days ago, the Ai family also told your uncle that he would take advantage of this spring draft to take a good look at people for his sons and you, and choose a few for you. Marriage. Daqian has not had any weddings for a while."

"..."

If Yuan Xiao hadn't remembered that he was still ill at the moment, he would have almost jumped up.Aren't they talking about who killed him?Why is it just a blink of an eye, the queen mother brought the topic to this.

Yuan Xiao said: "The grandson doesn't want a girl."

It's just that these words were heard by the Queen Mother, but they were childish nonsense.

"There's no one who doesn't want a girl. Even Wen Guogong, doesn't he have an unforgettable sweetheart."

Yuan Xiao frowned.

"Wen Yi?" he said, "Does he have a sweetheart?" As he spoke, he thought to himself, how could Wen Yi be so bold that he first expressed his heartfelt heart to the queen mother and confessed the fact that he has a sweetheart?But Yuan Xiao didn't even think about it, wasn't he right in front of Wen Yi's eyes, so there was nothing unforgettable.

In this palace, there are very few people who are single in terms of family, talents and looks.Thermometers are typical of them.Seeing that Yuan Xiao and Wen Yi get along well, the queen mother wants to use Wen Yi's identity and relationship to deceive Yuan Xiao, telling him that it is human nature to marry a wife and have children.Even dedusting like a thermometer is not exempt.

Immediately said: "Yes. The Ai family also wanted to point out a marriage for him. It's a pity that Wen Guogong never forgets the person he has no part in, and his eyes are red when he mentions it. Such affection is really rare, so he gave up. It's just that you are still young, so you don't need to learn from his deep-rooted love, there are many young ladies in [-], so take a good look at them then."

The queen mother said so much, Yuan Xiao only heard one sentence.

Wen Yi has nothing to do with the person he loves.

Prince: "..." He couldn't help but say. "Why is there no chance?"

The queen mother didn't expect Yuan Xiao to be so interested in Wen Yi's affairs. Seeing her grandson's questioning, she thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "It's probably due to the separation of yin and yang. Count Wen Guogong is quite old. Maybe it happened when he was young."

After a few words, how can we know that the prince is in a complicated mood and doesn't know how to vent it.

How could he-

Is it separated from Wen Yi Yin and Yang?

So unlucky!

Even though he is as smart as the prince, he probably knows that this is just Wen Yi's expedient measure to deal with the queen mother, but it sounds a little uncomfortable in his heart.I just couldn’t express it to the Queen Mother, so I just said: "The grandson doesn’t care about these things. Those girls and misses, save some uncles. If grandma likes children, she can let them have more children. It just so happens that I can have more brothers."

"Confused." The Empress Dowager nodded to Yuan Xiao, "Of course Aijia hopes to leave the good to you."

Yuan Xiao wanted to talk about it later, but the queen mother didn't want to mention it to him.Just said: "This matter is not for Xiao'er to decide. Aijia will make the decision for you in front of the emperor. You can take care of it at ease, and you don't have to go to the school again. We will talk about it when the illness recovers." When she said this, the thoughts in her mind Several suitable girls are already in the mind.Let's see what status is most beneficial to the prince.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager felt a little sad: "Hey, I don't know who is so bold in this palace. All the portraits of Xiu Nu have been soaked in water. What else can I see? It will take some time for them to send them back again."

Oh?

It's a pity that Yuan Xiao was not happy yet, so the queen mother smiled and said: "Fortunately, a group of mourners selected for Xiao'er were taken out in advance, and they were well kept. Since we are talking about this matter today, why not give it to my precious grandson first?" Take a look."

"Do not--"

But the queen mother has ordered someone to fetch the portrait.

Yuan Xiao watched helplessly as the nanny fetched the portraits of the women and unfolded them one by one in front of him.His cheap grandmother held his hand and introduced him one by one with great care. Whose girl is this and who is that lady.At the end, he asked, "Is there anyone who can close your eyes?"

"..." It was the first time that the prince had grown up so many women's portraits.After looking at it for a long time, Fang pointed to one, "This man's eyebrows are too soft. They should be sharper."

"That face is too sharp, it needs to be rounded."

"Eyes—" Yuan Xiao thought about Wen Yi's appearance, and curled the corners of his mouth, "It's better to have affectionate eyes."

"As for the mouth—" He raised his eyebrows and made a decision, "It's not thin enough." It seems that the skill of stalking people is not high.

All together, it is not as good as Wen Yi.Yuan Xiao thought to himself, as expected, he had the best vision.Wen Yi, who was selected, had a good character, was kind and considerate, and had a first-class appearance. Except for not being able to give birth to a cub, she couldn't find any faults.But what's the use of having a cub? Is it the same headache as Emperor Yuan?Yuan Xiao doesn't want cubs.

The queen mother frowned when she heard that, these are girls with good looks, don't you like them?She said: "Then tell me, what kind of appearance makes you happy?"

Yuan Xiao said: "I have green mountains, sun and moon in my heart, and everything else is nothing more than that."

Which green hill and what sun and moon.Could it be from the village of Liangzhou?This is not acceptable, even if she looks as good as the sky, she must not be a prince or concubine.The Empress Dowager was still about to ask, but at this moment, Chunlan stepped in, glanced at the Empress Dowager, Fang Chao Yuanxiao said: "Your Highness, Prince Shu Yao and his party are coming back from Pingdu City."

This was what Yuan Xiao asked her to tell her immediately after Gu Erzhen and the others entered the palace.

Sure enough, Yuan Xiao sat up at once: "Wen—" He glanced at the Queen Mother, and changed his address inexplicably.

"Where is Duke Wen?"

Chunlan said: "Duke Wen will go with him and return together." He hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and said, "Look at the happy conversation with Prince Shuyao."

"..."

The queen mother watched her grandson, who had just turned weak and unable to move, turned over and began to put on his clothes.How to look how to wear.

"Uncle is worried about the affairs of the state, and the Duke of the country feels sorry for accompanying him alone." He put on the clothes a few times, the blue orchid inner shirt, the crane pattern and flowing clouds and wide sleeves, tied a high ponytail, and embroidered it with beads.Look fresh and sunny.On the face, he said solemnly, "Even if Gu is only one breath away from illness and death, he must crawl over."

"Grandmother, grandson is going to handle state affairs first."

The author has something to say:

Queen Mother: What do you like?

Prince: I like to face A.

Wen Yi: ...I'll let you know if A or not tonight.
