Yueling country.

The Empress Dowager Yuan of Xuande sits sideways on a phoenix chair with carved luan patterns in gold lacquer, wearing a bright yellow court gown, embroidered with golden dragons and nine dragons on the upper and lower shoulders of the court gown, with five-color clouds in between, and wearing seven golden phoenixes, golden Zhai and Zhuwei crowns on her head.

Although she is over [-] years old, her face is well maintained, delicate and fair, not at all like her past [-] years old, her eyebrows are still picturesque, but there is a sharp light shining in her dozing eyes from time to time, solemn and majestic, Let not look directly.

"Emperor, what do you think of Zhang Wan'er, the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo?" The Empress Dowager Yuan glanced sideways, and glanced lightly at Xuanyuan Yi, the monarch of the Yueling Kingdom who was sitting on the top seat, with an order that could not be refused mixed in her tone.

Xuanyuan Yi pursed his lips tightly, his face pale, looking at Zhang Wan'er who was waiting for him to leave a sachet outside the hall, frowned his pretty eyebrows, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, Mo Se His black eyes were full of gloom, "Very good, I... like it very much."

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled in satisfaction, she was quite obedient today, then she turned her head and nodded slightly to the old eunuch who passed on the roster. Give the sachet!"

Xuanyuan Yi silently glanced at the Queen Mother Yuan, who was the only one who respected me, and his heart was full of bitterness. What is the difference between being the emperor and not being the emperor?

Empress Dowager Yuan seemed to notice Xuanyuan Yi's weak expression, stroked the hollow chiseled golden flower nail cover on her finger, and explained to Xuanyuan Yi for a long time: "The daughter of Zuo Cheng has both virtue and ability, extraordinary appearance, calm temper, and mourns her family." I like her very much, Aijia is very relieved to have her by your side to assist you, "

Xuanyuan Yi forced a smile and said, "Yes, Empress Mother's vision is always right."

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't seem to notice Xuanyuan Yi's far-fetchedness, and smiled slightly, "These are the things that the Ai family should do. After all, the Ai family only has a son like you, so of course everything must be arranged for you, so that you don't have to worry about those trivial matters." Please worry about it."

Everything will be properly arranged for you... These words penetrated deeply into Xuanyuan Yi's heart, suffocating with pain, is this a warning?Warn yourself not to play tricks and let her manipulate it?Otherwise, will you withdraw your throne?Is there a need for him to exist in the Yueling Kingdom!Xuanyuan Yi closed his eyes and suppressed the moisture in his eyes. Even though there were thousands of words in his heart, he couldn't say them out, let alone dared to say them out.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Yuan sighed insignificantly. For the sake of the Yueling Kingdom, for... that person, she can't be soft-hearted. She must guard the Yueling Kingdom for him. When he comes back, he has suffered enough up...

After the concubine selection was over, Xuanyuanyi sent Queen Mother Yuan back to Kunning Palace, and he returned to his Longfei Palace. After entering the palace, he sent away all the father-in-law and court ladies, and then went to sit quietly beside the pear blossom table where the memorials were reviewed daily. There, his eyes were looking at a certain place in the temple, and he was slightly lost in thought.

After a long time, Xuanyuan Yi took out the half-bottle of Xiyun wine, raised his head and took a big gulp, the wine flowed out from the corners of his lips, and slipped into the inner chest/mouth of his dragon robe.

"Cough cough...cough..." Xuanyuan Yi choked on drinking too quickly. I don't know if it was because of the burning of the wine or his mood. .

"Ah-ah!" Xuanyuan Yi finally couldn't hold back his roar, his voice contained loneliness, despair, pain, and incomprehension...he didn't understand!He doesn't understand!Why!Why! !

'Wow——' Xuanyuan Yi swung the stacks of bright yellow memorials on the table to the ground, and he knelt helplessly on the ground, sobbing.

Xuanyuan Yi picked up the memorial in front of him, opened it with trembling hands, and saw lines of small characters written on it, which undoubtedly showed that the memorial had been reviewed and remarked, but... none of the words on it were written by him, Tears flowed down his cheeks and wet the memorial, all of which were reviewed and sent by his mother.

He has questioned countless times whether he was born by his mother, why she wants to control herself, if the mother is really for power, then the throne is not his, but if it is not for power, why doesn't she let himself To control the government and control the Yueling country, but to obey her arrangements and her commands in everything!What exactly does she want? ?

Xuanyuan Yi really didn't know, since he was young, he never knew his mother's mother, and he couldn't figure out her thoughts, because her attitude towards him was that of a noble concubine respected by everyone, and later she was a queen mother who was only respected by me. There is no trace of love and pampering that a mother should have for her son.

He is a noble emperor, possessing a supreme status and fertile and boundless land, but when he becomes an emperor who has no real power and is watched by people every day, he would rather not have this throne, but his fate is not his. He can change himself, if he really wants to leave this kind of life, then he can only choose to die!

Xuanyuan Yi laughed uncontrollably, deep hatred flashed across his tears, death?How could he just die like this, even if he died, he would have to be a supporter, he wanted to know what the purpose of the queen mother was, and what she would do in the end, Xuanyuan had to figure this out, because he found that the queen mother seemed to be waiting for someone...

Kunning Palace.

Zitong carefully supported the tired Empress Dowager Yuan into the inner hall, and ordered to the maid who was kneeling on the ground: "You all go down first, the Empress Dowager is tired and needs to rest, remember, no matter who , No sign is allowed to enter."

"Yes." Several court ladies looked at each other, and then retreated respectfully.

Empress Dowager Yuan took Zitong's arm to the front and sat down, staring blankly at the incense burner with cloisonné enamel flower and bird patterns on the black lacquer table, silent in her own thoughts.

Zi Tong frowned, worried: "What's wrong with you, Queen Mother?"

Empress Dowager Yuan closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath of the aloes floating from the incense burner, and sighed heavily, with complicated eyebrows, "The Ai family misses him, except that he took the risk to see him five years ago." After visiting Aijia once, Aijia never saw him again. Aijia could only learn about him from other people. How he came here all these years alone, Aijia knows best in his heart, so Aijia feels distressed. ..”

Zi Tong also sighed, and reached out to Queen Mother Yuan to gently rub her temples, comforting Queen Mother Yuan, "Don't think too much about it, the little master has endured humiliation for so many years, and the reason for this is now. Seeing that the great cause is about to be accomplished, the Queen Mother should be happy. Besides, there is Taifu Mo secretly taking care of and teaching the little master, so the little master will not be wronged."

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't answer. It took a long time before she opened her eyes and sighed softly: "I hope everything is under his control. Well, help Ai's family get up."

After hearing this, Zi Tong hurriedly stepped forward to help the queen mother up, but said with relief: "That's natural, the young master is resourceful, resourceful and martial arts, so naturally nothing will go wrong."

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled slightly, obviously Zi Tong's words entered her heart, she didn't know that man's intelligence and forbearance, but she felt a little distressed.

Standing up along Zitong's arm, he raised his feet and walked towards the green bronze tripod and red sandalwood incense table placed in the east room.

Zi Tong supported Empress Dowager Yuan and walked forward, said: "Empress Dowager, you are choosing a concubine for the emperor, the emperor seems a little unhappy."

Empress Dowager Yuan snorted coldly after hearing this, "Unhappy? I can't help him. It's been a blessing for him to sit on that chair for several generations. If the government is handed over to him, it will be called the handover of thousands of miles of land. Others, this throne is not his."

Then Empress Dowager Yuan seemed to feel that she was a little mean, sighed and said: "He can only marry Zuo Cheng's daughter, otherwise how can he find the wrong place for his daughter in the palace, and use this to find a reason to cut Zuo Cheng's rights and help us?" People are superior."

Zitong nodded, shut up and said nothing more, because Queen Mother Yuan had already walked to the incense table enshrining Guanyin, and turned her head to signal Zitong to light a stick of incense. Heshi piously stared at the solemn and solemn Guanyin Bodhisattva in front of him, but everywhere revealed his kindness.

Empress Dowager Yuan opened her lips slightly, as if she was talking about something, she bowed her head three times respectfully for a while, then straightened up, took the sandalwood in Zitong's hand and put it on the incense burner in front of the altar, and then stood up slowly get up.

"Recently, the Xian Kingdom and Qixi Kingdom are at war. The Ai family decided to stand on the side of the Xian Kingdom, find an opportunity to express their opinion to the king of the Xian Kingdom, and then order someone to send some food, grass, luggage, etc. to express their feelings. Later, you go to Mrs. Mo Fu Chuan told him to come over and see what to do about this matter. If he is too enthusiastic, Xianguo will naturally suspect us, but if he is too cold, he will not be able to help them, so we should think twice about this matter." The Empress Dowager Yuan Walking towards the inner hall, he gave Zitong instructions.

"Yes, this servant will invite Mrs. Mo right now." Zi Tong nodded solemnly.

The queen mother walked back to the inner hall and sat on the couch, thought for a while and said: "By the way, don't let the emperor know, seal this news, everyone in the Yueling country will know, but he can't, because Ai's family is going to kill the emperor." Remove all opportunities for him to cultivate party members, lest his wings become hard and disobedient." The tone was cold, and there was no mother-child affection at all, but those who knew the truth would think that the Queen Mother's attitude was very normal and loved her Xuanyuan Yi, that's not normal...
