Crown Prince's Counterattack

"My son has come to pay my respects to my mother!"

"Get up, why do you have to be so born with your mother?!"

When Dugu Jialuo saw Yang Guang and his daughter-in-law Xiao Shi come to greet her together, he immediately smiled, and looked at the golden couple in front of him, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Yang Guang was very knowledgeable, stood up obediently, and did not forget to help Xiao Shi who was next to him up together, and sat down with her in the lower seat.

"I haven't come to pay my respects to my mother for so long, please don't be offended by my mother"

"Where is it? Things are busy in your palace, and this kind of heart is enough. Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight these days."

Dugu Jialuo looked at Yang Guang with a distressed face. When Xiao heard this, her heart tightened, and she quickly stood up from her seat.

"The daughter-in-law did not take good care of the prince, and asked the empress to forgive her sins"

Xiao could not hide the uneasy look on his face, and Yang Guang pitifully helped him up.

"Get up, what does this have to do with you! Besides, Erchen is getting thinner, and the queen mother is concerned, and it will cause chaos."

"Look at the way he loves his wife, he really forgets his mother when he has a daughter-in-law..."

Dugu Jialuo pretended to be sad and sighed, but looked at Yang Guang and his wife with relief.

"What is the empress mother talking about? In my son's heart, the empress mother is the most important thing."

Yang Guang kept begging for mercy, and there was constant laughter in the hall, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the faces of the palace people were full of joy. The master's mood will be better and their situation will be better, but it's a pity that this man can make the empress happy. His Royal Highness King Jin cannot often enter the palace.

"By the way, queen mother, I just happened to meet my elder brother when I entered the palace."

Yang Guang mentioned it casually.

"is it?"

The smile in Dugu Jialuo's eyes faded, and Yang Guang was overjoyed when he saw it.

"Is the elder brother here to pay respects to the queen mother? Aren't you..." You have been refusing to see the elder brother?

"Hui'er woke up"

"That's really a happy event. If I had known, I would have been able to congratulate my elder brother."

Yang Guang's face was full of joy, but he couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart. If the princess really left like this, it would be a great thing for him.

"You are the most sensible, but the queen mother hopes that you can be harmonious with the princess and the princess, and give birth to more grandchildren for the queen mother, so that the queen mother can rest assured."

Speaking of the princess and concubine, Dugu Jialuo couldn't help but want to tell the couple in front of him.

"It's not enough to give birth to a few, at least a dozen grandchildren should be born to the mother, and the mother should not be bothered by that time."

Yang Guang understood what Dugu Jialuo wanted to hear best. No, when he heard Yang Guang's serious "pride and ambition" and saw Princess Xiao's pretty face covered with red clouds, he was so satisfied that his whole body There was a layer of joy all over the place.

"well……"

When she was in a good mood, the depression in Dugu Jialuo's heart dissipated a lot. Others always said that she was eccentric. With such a son who made her happy, how could she not be eccentric? Proper, although there is a pity in the heart, but the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!

After King Jin and his wife left, the smile on Dugu Jialuo's face never faded, pulling Aunt Hong to chatter, she was a woman from an ordinary family.

"Those two children are really a good match, and it makes people happy to see them"

"Your Majesty is really lucky, a beautiful couple."

Hong Gu really complimented her, Dugu Jialuo nodded, and the smile on his face deepened.

"You said that my daughter-in-law's complexion looks a little haggard today?"

Even though he was talking with Yang Guang, Dugu Jialuo did not forget to pay attention to Mrs. Xiao on the side. This afternoon, Mrs. Xiao sat quietly on the side with a gentle smile on her face and a generous demeanor, but that The subtle fatigue in his eyes made Dugu Jialuo pay more attention.

"...Well, maybe the princess hasn't rested for the past few days. Things are busy in the palace, and the princess is probably tired."

Hong Gu guessed after hesitation.

Yeah?Dugu Jialuo felt that it made some sense, but she, who was naturally intelligent, felt that something was wrong, but the love between Yang Guang and Xiao Shi was not fake, maybe they were really tired these days, thinking so, Dugu Jialuo He also let go of the speculation in his heart.

"I just hope these two children are doing well!"

The matter of the prince and the princess has become a lesson for the past. Dugu Jialuo does not want the same thing to happen again, and he does not want to see such a thing happen to her most valued son.

"Don't worry, my lord, the prince and concubine will not let you down"

Hope... Dugu Jialuo smiled reassuringly at the worried Honggu.

East Palace

Your Highness, leave these things alone and let the servants do them."

Yuan Hui looked at Sima Yi tremblingly, wanted to take it from Sima Yi's hand but he hid it, and when he saw it, he took his hand back, and his expression became a little uneasy.

"It's just to peel an apple for you. This thing has to be done alone to show your lonely heart."

As soon as the words fell, a long fruit peel fell into the fruit plate. The technique was very beautiful, and Sima Yi was also satisfied.

Yuan Hui was flattered and took the freshly peeled apple from Sima Yi's hand, and held it in his palm, his eyes became watery again after a while.

"Why are you crying again?"

Sima Yi sighed, revealing a bit of helplessness and pampering, brushing the corner of her eyes with his fingertips, with a bit of tenderness that belonged to him alone.In Sima Yi's eyes, this concubine, who was stable and decent in the eyes of outsiders, was a bit childish. In fact, she was still a child.

"His Royal Highness is so kind to my concubine. I think this is a beautiful dream, but the dream always wakes up one day. I am worried. Once I wake up from this dream, my highness will not be by my side anymore."

Yuan Hui also found that she had lost her composure. She had a stable temperament at first, but for some reason, she felt that she seemed to be weak and sentimental when she was in front of this man, but this change made her quite happy.

Since she was a child, she has been very envious of the relationship between her father and mother, but even so, she has never seen her father peel fruit for her mother, but today His Highness did something she never dared to expect, and she suddenly felt that all this It's all so unreal, does such a good husband really belong to her, or is it really like an infinitely beautiful dream, when he wakes up from the dream, he is still the aloof His Royal Highness, and his eyes will always only be Can see other women.

"Silly girl!"

Sima Yi was stunned, and laughed a little. He didn't expect that such a move would move her so much, and it also made people feel pity. It seems that the situation of the Yuan family in the East Palace was not very good before, but he never expected that this would be so difficult for him. This seemingly insignificant move set off such a huge wave in Yuan Hui's heart.

"How are you feeling these days?"

Sima Yi asked with concern, Yuan Hui's complexion was much better than the previous days, and there was a bit of blood on his face, he was no longer weak and pale, and he didn't feel tired after working for so long, but he looked good. Many units look like.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. The imperial physician came to see me yesterday, and my body is almost recovered."

As for the others, they are all diseases from the mother's womb, they have to be recuperated, and they cannot be completely cured, but these Yuan Hui are in the heart, apart from not wanting to make Sima Yi worry, it may not be a kind of inferiority and fear, With a body like hers, how could she be qualified to stay by His Royal Highness's side, so she chose to hide it.

Sima Yi looked at Yuan Hui with a gentle smile, and saw that she looked really good, so he didn't think too much about it, he just thought it was the truth and felt relieved.

Yuan Hui stared intently at Sima Yi's handsome face, and there was a trace of greed in his eyes. How could she let go of such a good highness who treats her such a gentle husband.If some things have never been obtained, it is not unacceptable to lose them, but once you get what you dream of, how can people let go of their greed and give up easily?She thought she had looked down on life and death, but she didn't understand until today that she was reluctant, reluctant to leave this world, because she had someone she didn't want to leave, even if she just looked at him quietly like this.

"The queen mother has been very worried about you these days. When the bones of the body are healed, go and say hello to the queen mother."

Sima Yi said calmly, he believed that the intelligent Yuan family would not let him down.

"The concubine understands that the queen mother values ​​the concubine's body, it is the concubine's blessing, and the concubine is grateful"

Yuan Hui was startled, thinking of Dugu Jialuo who had been very kind to her in the past, a feeling of emotion brewed in her heart.

Sima Yi nodded in satisfaction, showing a rare sincere smile.

After Sima Yi left, Xiao Yue, Yuan Hui's personal maid, walked in quickly through the side door. Seeing that Yuan Hui was still staring at the direction Sima Yi left for a long time and couldn't regain her senses, her heart suddenly became sour. Hesitation was replaced by intention, and he didn't know whether such a change was good or bad.

"Your Majesty, you have finally come to the end of all your hardships..."

Xiaoyue walked in front of Yuan Hui, looking at Yuan Hui's infatuated gaze from afar, her eyes became watery.

As a personal maid who has been with Yuan Hui from the very beginning, she understands Yuan Hui's mood best along the way.From the stars holding the moon to the neglected deep palace after entering the palace, the empress has had a very difficult life along the way. Even if she could hide it, Xiaoyue also discovered the loneliness and worry hidden in Yuanhui's eyes, all of which made Xiaoyue... Yue was furious.She also thought that she could only depend on her mother for life in this life, and she didn't think there was anything wrong, she just felt unwilling for her mother.When she knew that the empress was stunned by the prince's anger, God knows how much she wanted to avenge the empress with the prince, but reason calmed her down. She could only stand by the empress's side every day and wash her face with tears, waiting for the day when the sleeping person able to wake up.

She didn't know from which day His Highness the Crown Prince would come to visit the empress every day. Surprisingly, since His Highness came to visit every day, she would find that the empress looked much better, and then one day the empress really woke up.Since then, Xiaoyue has discovered that the world is different.

Although His Royal Highness is busy with government affairs, he will take time out to visit the empress every day. Even if he just sits for a while, it will make the empress very happy. This kind of joy has never been seen on the empress, and then Xiaoyue understands Your Majesty's love for His Highness.Falling in love with one's own husband is a wonderful thing, but falling in love with a future emperor will become very bad. Xiaoyue sees the empress sinking in it every day, and she is very worried. If His Highness returns to the past Her temperament, she thought... This time it will make the empress doomed forever, if so, it is not as good as before, even if the empress's heart is as calm as water, it is good.So every time she sees Sima Yi visiting Yuan Hui, Xiaoyue struggles in her heart...

"Xiaoyue, I don't want to die..."

Yuan Hui looked at Xiaoyue and said suddenly, only in front of her most trusted personal maid, would she dare to express the panic in her heart one by one.

"I can't bear it, I can't bear it..."

"Your servant understands that the empress will be fine. The imperial physician has also said that as long as you are calm and take good care of yourself, you will be able to grow old with His Highness forever."

Xiaoyue held Yuan Hui's slightly cold hand, and patiently comforted her, she had never seen such a struggling state of mind for a lady who had always been indifferent, but she was helpless except for a little comfort.

Yuan Hui smiled, and slowly calmed down.

#**************

"The sons and servants pay respects to the father and the emperor"

"get up"

Yang Jian glanced at the prince kneeling under the stage, his expression was not warm. Hearing Yang Jian's slightly indifferent words, Sima Yi remained silent, stood up and waited quietly.

This makes Yang Jian, who has been paying attention to him, look a little different. You must know that when the prince was summoned before, he would always see the resentment and resistance to him from the prince's eyes, which really made him unhappy. He has indeed reprimanded the prince a lot these years. But it's all because of the deep responsibility of love.

The prince, in addition to being his son, has to shoulder the burden of the country, so he only has higher demands on him. When he finds that this son can't meet his expectations, he will of course be disappointed and reprimand him , but it doesn't mean he doesn't love this child, it's just that the way of love is different.

But for the other children, Yang Jian had much less expectations for them, and he was even more indulgent, but he didn't expect that this would cause the eldest son's dissatisfaction, and even secretly fight against each other. Such a narrow-minded prince really disappointed Yang Jian. Coupled with the matter of the crown prince, Yang Jian made the decision to abolish the crown prince.

He hasn't summoned the prince for a while, but he didn't expect to give him a good surprise today. Not to mention that the whole person feels much calmer, but this calm and calm response is enough for Yang Jian to secretly appreciate, But even so, Yang Jian's expression remained calm, and there was no change in sight.

"I have read all the memorials you reviewed these days, and they handled them well."

After the prince got married, Yang Jian began to cultivate the prince intentionally, and sent some of the memorials sent every day to the East Palace for the prince to review, and then he reviewed it again to see his ability in handling political affairs.

This is also a very important point for Yang Jian to look down on the prince. Needless to say, the prince is smart, but his character is not satisfactory.Acting recklessly and indulgently, although Yang Jian advocates simplicity, he does not force his children to be like him, but excessive extravagance displeases him.As a prince, one should set an example for his subjects. It is disappointing that the prince does not even understand this.What disappointed him even more was the handling of the princess' affairs.

The so-called big event does not stick to small details.He doesn't care whether the prince likes the princess or not, because it doesn't matter at all in Yang Jian's eyes. What is important is the combination of interests behind this marriage. The prince's reckless behavior has cast a shadow over this alliance of interests. It completely disappointed Yang Jian, which was why he hadn't summoned the prince for many days.

Until seeing the memorial sent this time, Yang Jian suddenly discovered that the prince had shown unprecedented maturity and stability in many government affairs. For reference, he is surprisingly proficient in government affairs, so he specially summoned him once.

"It's all thanks to my father"

Yang Jian didn't deny it, it was a good change after all, Yang Jian's gaze began to look a little differently, and he also thought a little more in his heart.

"I heard that you and the princess are getting along well these days?"

Sima Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yang Jian to care about this matter, he turned his mind a few times, and silently remembered some things in his heart.

Yang Jian is busy with government affairs every day, so he naturally doesn't care about some meaningless things. The family affairs of the royal family are also state affairs.The prince and princess have been married for many years but have never had a son. This is really dissatisfied with the emperor and empress who want to value the concubines. In addition, the prince prefers concubines and neglects the main wife, which has already made the Yuan family very dissatisfied. Royal majesty has been patient.Yang Jian was particularly disappointed by the prince's immaturity in this matter.

"Yes, these days, the minister has settled the feud with the Yuan family. These years, the minister has been confused and has failed the expectations of the father, queen and mother."

Sima Yi had tried his best to make up for his predecessor's mistakes in the matter of the princess, and was relieved to see Yang Jian's obviously softened expression.

It's not that Yang Jian didn't expect the prince to have a day of repentance, but he has been disappointed for so many years, and today's unexpected joy made him a little overwhelmed.But seeing the guilt and remorse in the prince's eyes, Yang Jian suddenly felt that it was not too late.

Although Yang Jian wanted to abolish the crown prince countless times, this is not a trivial matter, and it can easily cause turmoil in the country. In Yang Jian's heart, as the eldest son of the eldest son, becoming the crown prince is undoubtedly the best choice, but these What the prince did in the next year really disappointed him, which made him focus on the other sons. Although he was not the eldest son, Yang Guang, who was also a disciple, appeared in Yang Jian's eyes.Only when he has no choice but to make a helpless choice, Yang Jian only hopes that the prince will not let him down again.

"When Yuan's health is better, my son is going to take her back to Yuan's family to visit her relatives. How does Emperor Father feel?"

Yang Jian looked at Sima Yi with a more meaningful look, just when Sima Yi thought he would not hear Yang Jian's answer, Yang Jian spoke.

"When you grow up, you can make some decisions by yourself"

Sima Yi clearly heard the relief and appreciation in Yang Jian's tone, it seems that this time is imperative.

Ever since Sima Yi mentioned that he was going to greet Empress Dugu that day, Yuan Hui kept this matter firmly in his heart, and when his health improved a little, he put on his makeup and came over to greet Empress Dugu in person.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is here to greet you!"

"Really! Let her in!"

Dugu Jia Luona was really pleasantly surprised, she was still talking about someone in the morning, and she appeared in front of her in the afternoon, which shows that there is fate.

If Yuan Hui didn't suffer from this disease, she would look no different from ordinary people, except that her face was a little paler and her whole body was thinner, but her spirit looked very good. She was dressed in palace attire and had a graceful figure, but she didn't have a stunning appearance. But it is better than being born with temperament.

"Come, come and sit in front of the queen mother"

Just as Yuan Hui was about to salute Dugu Jialuo, she was quickly stopped by someone. Seeing Dugu Jialuo's concerned expression, she felt warm in her heart. She knew that the queen liked her, but it was the first time that she felt so clearly.

"are you better?"

Dugu Jialuo touched Yuan Hui's little hand, it was icy cold, it could be seen that his body was not well yet, and his heart felt more and more pity.

Dugu Jialuo likes Yuan Hui as a daughter-in-law. Apart from the fact that she is the daughter she has handed handkerchiefs to for many years, she may not have hidden guilt in her heart. You must know that if the prince hadn't been neglected for many years, favoring concubines and concubines, this poor poor The girl will not have her first day until now. After all, her son is sorry for her.

"Thank you for your mother's concern, my daughter-in-law's health is almost recovered, thanks to His Royal Highness's careful care"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Hui lowered her head, unable to conceal her shyness and joy.

"Really? That's what he should do. After all these years, I have wronged you"

After all, Dugu Jialuo let out a long sigh.She thought that the prince would be unwilling to do so, but after marriage, she would get better gradually. She thought that such a good girl and her brave son would also see her good, but she didn't expect that in the end, this exquisite girl The child has suffered so many grievances.

"Don't be wronged, I will be satisfied to be able to be by His Highness's side"

Yuan Hui shook her head, maybe she would feel wronged and unwilling in the past, but now she feels that all the pain she has experienced is for today, so everything she has suffered is extremely worthwhile, she told herself so sincerely, So sincere.

Dugu Jialuo looked at Yuan Hui with bright eyes in surprise, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart. She must have been in the same mood back then, but her luck was much better in comparison.

"Silly girl, you can't get used to men!"
