"Taoyuan's son is so cute!" Jiang Mengzhen and Qi Heju sat side by side in the carriage. Today is the third birthday of the eldest son of the British Duke, and the three of them naturally want to congratulate him. Wu Xichun holds the eldest son in his arms She was pregnant with her third child again. When he was with An Zhiyuan, he was troubled by his heirs for many years. Now that he has embraced them for three years, he envies others. The three of them are fighting and fighting, loving each other, and they still get along like newlyweds. Jiang Mengzhen said with a smile: "When Yingyang sees his husband and children, his mouth will be cracked to the root of his ears, and he will let his son ride in front of everyone." On his neck, if the people in the prison of the Ministry of Justice saw it, their jaws would definitely drop from shock..."

Qi Hexi chuckled, hugged Jiang Mengzhen and let him lean on his shoulder, "You have been busy all day, are you tired?"

Jiang Mengzhen shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing to do, but Taoyuan's body is heavy, I will help him watch the boss not to make trouble, the child is very lively, playing in the garden all afternoon is not enough Shouting tired, I really like it! It's a pity that I can no longer give birth to you..."

Qi Heju knew that this matter had always been a regret in Jiang Mengzhen's heart. In the past few years, Imperial Physician Sun had been recuperating for him, but there was still no improvement. He put his hands on Jiang Mengzhen's lower abdomen, and said consolingly : "Today when I saw Mr. Wu's belly, I couldn't help but think of you when you were pregnant, how hard you were at that time, you couldn't eat and vomited every day, and you had to lie on the bed for most of the day. I felt distressed, but I couldn't help you at all. , in the end...it was the same result again. Having a child is to let brothers and sisters go to the gate of hell. To be honest, it’s better to be like this now. Don’t think like this again in the future. Just treat it as I don’t want to see you suffer again. I can no longer bear the fear and fear you felt when you gave birth. I don't want a child. I'm afraid that the child will distract you. You just look at me. So Mengzhen, don't feel uncomfortable anymore, okay?"

Jiang Mengzhen touched his face and said softly: "It's probably because you treat me so well, which makes me more and more greedy. How can there be anything perfect in the world? I don't feel uncomfortable, I just feel a little regretful. ..”

"I have no regrets," Qi He covered his hand, "You are by my side, and since then I have never had the word regret in my life."

Jiang Mengzhen raised her head and kissed him on the chin. Amidst the sound of hoofbeats, the two of them cuddled tenderly, and occasionally said a few trivial things about the mansion. The way home was safe and quiet.

"Mr. Qi is also 30 years old. There is still no successor in the Hou family. I wonder if he is in a hurry?" In the imperial garden, the unmarried brothers and sisters of the Xungui family in the capital were all invited by the queen mother to enjoy the flowers. Everyone knew in their hearts that Apparently it was for viewing flowers, but in fact it was to choose a queen for the soon-to-be 16-year-old emperor. The brother who spoke was named Wang Manling, who was already [-] years old.

Sun Zhiting curled her lips lightly. He is [-] this year and is still unmarried. There are too many people asking for marriage. Are you going to ask for fun?"

"I know, the queen mother matched you once, but he didn't like you," Wang Manling covered her sleeves and smiled, "That was the wrong timing. Lord Hou is very interested in your lord, how can he have room for others? He made a triumphant proposal This matter has been passed down to this day as a good story, but times have changed, men always like the new and dislike the old, and he still has an heir to consider, so he should accept a noble concubine."

Although he didn't say who this good concubine should take, he unconsciously puffed out his chest. Young brothers and sisters always have a kind of youthful recklessness and self-confidence. He thought to himself that Jiang Mengzhen is already in his 30s. But at nineteen, older people should give way to younger people. It would be a cruel thing to let a man with high position and great power guard his aging husband. There is also the day when I grow old.

Sun Zhiting sneered, "I went back and thought about what happened back then, but the queen mother tried me to test Lord Hou. If Lord Hou really fell for the bait, I'm not sure what would happen... You should stop thinking about it early, why bother to go?" Stroking the tiger's whiskers to death?"

"What do you mean, can it be that Lord Hou is under the scepter of your noble lord? No matter how high your status is, if he marries Lord Hou, he will regard his husband as the sky and spread branches and leaves for his family. They have been married for several years and still have no offspring. Naturally, these things should be considered. Is it necessary for Master Hou to cut off his sons and grandchildren? If I ask you, he should take the initiative to bring it up, so that he can appear noble and virtuous, so that he can control his husband and not let the younger ones be accepted, and he is not afraid of being laughed at..."

"Who dares to make a joke?" A female voice came from behind, and Wang Manling turned around in surprise, only to see Jiang Mengyou standing behind him with a cold face. Chitose Chitose..."

"You raise your head and let the Ai family see." Wang Manling raised her head tremblingly, Jiang Mengyou looked at him a few times with downcast eyes, and said lightly: "You are really young and beautiful, no wonder you are so arrogant."

Wang Manling was too scared to speak. When Jiang Mengyou was a princess, she was elegant and graceful. Later, because of the Jin Wang's edict, her temperament changed a lot. How could the concubine Jin who was almost poisoned to death by the Ji family be able to sit still and protect her son and younger brother?

"Slap the mouth." Two words were spit out from the red lips, Jiang Mengyou didn't even look at Wang Manling who was begging, and said to Sun Zhiting: "Sun Gongzi, what happened just now..."

Her voice paused, and Sun Zhiting hurriedly said, "I won't reveal a single word to anyone..."

"No, you have to go and talk to them carefully. The Ai family hates this kind of person the most. He reminds me of my side concubine Ji, who despises anyone because of her youth. You must imitate him." As a warning."

Sun Zhiting said yes repeatedly, the fragrant wind was blowing, Jiang Mengyou walked past him, Sun Zhiting looked at Wang Manling who was beaten in embarrassment, and gasped with lingering fear. The only one, even though she was talking about the side concubine Ji, she was actually referring to the matter between the noble lord and the Lord Hou, and today's quarrel is to put an end to other people's wishful thinking.

The garden is full of purples and reds, and the brightly dressed brothers and sisters are even more beautiful than flowers. Everyone is looking forward to meeting the young emperor in the garden, but the emperor who should have arrived here has never shown up.Jiang Mengyou didn't see brother Yu here, her heart moved, and she walked to the remote rockery, and she saw brother Yu standing face to face with brother Zhou Changping from Uncle Xuanping's family. The two were talking What, Brother Yu had a smile on his face, and Zhou Changping looked up at him submissively, with unconcealable admiration in his eyes.

"It seems that the emperor has already chosen a queen for himself," Jiang Mengyou watched secretly for several years, knowing that the three of them had affection for each other, Zhou Changping was gentle and chaste, although he knew Brother Yu's affection for him, he never made a move. Jiang Mengyou is very satisfied with him for any things that exceed the rules. Today's flower feast is just to let Brother Yu choose a few more concubines. She said to the palace man behind her: "Let them talk for a while, after a while Invite the emperor to the white crabapple tree in the garden, and tell Aijia to wait for him there."

When Brother Yu came under the crabapple tree, Jiang Mengyou was leading several brothers and sisters to enjoy the flowers together. After the two sides greeted each other, all the brothers and sisters looked at Brother Yu from the corners of their eyes with blushing faces. The son of heaven is really handsome and handsome, even if he is not the emperor, he will make people fall in love with him at first sight and never forget him.

A few people chatted for a while, but they talked about the weather, flowers and trees, and some people wanted to show their talents and skills. Brother Yu's reaction was very flat.When the flower banquet was over, Jiang Mengyou asked knowingly, "How about it, which lady's son does His Majesty take a fancy to?"

"The queen mother knows it clearly," Brother Yu said with a smile, "I only want Zhou Changping, the younger brother of Uncle Xuanping's family, to be my queen."

"Chang Ping is very well-behaved, and I like him very much." Jiang Mengyou nodded, and said, "You choose two more concubines, and they will be carried into the palace together when you get married..."

"I don't want a concubine! Didn't you say that today's flower banquet is just to choose a queen?" Brother Yu said anxiously: "Mother, have you forgotten that the side concubine Ji once poisoned your food, if it wasn't for you The little uncle arrived in time, I'm afraid we will all be killed by her! I didn't understand why my father married her at that time, our family was clearly living well, and when she came, everything changed! I really I dare not think, if the selected concubine also poisoned Chang Ping, how good would that be!"

Jiang Mengyou was stunned for a moment, half of the Jiang family's blood was flowing on Brother Yu's body, he was born with precocious intelligence, and seeing what they had experienced all the way, he had no illusions about the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, on the contrary, he deeply hated it. special person.If Brother Yu is not the emperor, Jiang Mengyou will feel very relieved. She can promise Brother Yu to live with only one husband for the rest of her life, but it is hard to imagine that an emperor will only have one queen in his life. Will agree?Besides, Brother Yu is not yet 16 years old, if he caused an uproar because of this impulsiveness, it would not be worth the candle.

"Nonsense!" She lowered her face, trying to scare Brother Yu, "It's about the country, how can it be a trifle? You are the emperor, you can't do whatever you want, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, how could there be only one queen in the emperor's harem ?”

"Then why can Lord Qi only guard my little uncle?"

"Because he is not the emperor!"

"I know, it is because of this that he will not be the emperor!"

Jiang Mengyou was even more dumb. It turned out that brother Yu knew everything. He knew that the world was brought down by Qi Heju. He was just a child back then, and he was put on the throne by Qi Heju with a spear. Yu My brother said slowly: "Master Qi is escorting us all the way to Beijing for the sake of my little uncle, but who of you has ever asked me if I would like to be the emperor? I have become the emperor, and you will all get what you want , my mother took revenge on the Ji family, and Lord Qi Hou married his little uncle again. The world does not need to change dynasties, and the world will be peaceful in the fastest way. I have been working hard to learn what Mr. Nangong taught me. I will make a Good emperor, but I also want to stay with the person I like forever... I thought my mother would understand me to some extent!"

After Jiang Mengyou heard her son's words from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't hold back her black face anymore. She was moved and said, "You have been sensible since you were a child, how could I not understand what you said? It's just...it's just too difficult! It complements each other, how many people are looking forward to this step of advancement, how could those courtiers agree? The royal family has a thin blood, if you only marry Changping, it will be difficult for your heirs!"

"Why do you have so many princes, let them fight for power and kill each other? There are not enough of these things in the history books? The internal strife in the royal family is more severe than the invasion of foreign enemies. The previous dynasty can learn from it..."

Brother Yu said a lot by citing scriptures, and Jiang Mengyou could hear that he didn't bring up this matter on a whim, but pondered it in his heart for a long time. I don't know when this child made up his mind to be a pair for a lifetime.But even so, Jiang Mengyou still couldn't dare to agree to his request easily. Marrying an infatuated man is a lifelong blessing for brothers and sisters, but an infatuated emperor may bring disaster to his family and country. It seems to be omnipotent and omnipotent, but in fact, the son of heaven is burdened with helplessness thousands of times heavier than ordinary people-"The six armies don't show helplessness, and they will die before turning around like a moth", "How to be the son of heaven in the fourth century is not as good as the Lu family." , the poet's sigh is still in his ears, Jiang Mengyou is afraid that the world will be made perfect by Qi Heju's infatuation, and finally ruined by Yu Geer's infatuation.

The mother and son did not agree, and Brother Yu left in anger. Before he left, he said to Jiang Mengyou in great disappointment: "Mother, you told me to treat him well and not let the person I like shed tears. Now you And forcing me to marry a concubine, won’t Chang Ping shed tears for this? What you taught me is completely contradictory to what you are doing now!”

"Because you are the emperor..." Jiang Mengyou was also in a dilemma, "As long as you are kind to Changping, give him the status of empress, and keep pampering him, you will be worthy of him, and Changping will understand Your embarrassment, as long as you always have him in your heart, a docile person like him will never make it difficult for you."

"It's because of his gentleness and etiquette that I can't see him being wronged! Forget it, I can't argue with the queen mother!" Brother Yu threw up his sleeves angrily, and Jiang Mengyou looked at his back in the bright yellow dragon robe , sometimes worried and sometimes relieved, she saw Jiang Mengzhen and Qi Heju love and stay together. For three years, they have been loving and harmonious, and the knot in their hearts has gradually been untied. It's just that Brother Yu's matter is not trivial, even if she can understand it emotionally. , but she couldn't agree with it in terms of government affairs, and she couldn't make up her mind after thinking about it, so she could only sigh again and again.

In the middle of the night, Brother Yu was lying on the dragon bed and hadn't fallen asleep. He had seen too many tears shed because of marital disharmony since he was a child. He remembered that Jiang Mengyou secretly cried in his arms when the side concubine entered the door. Jiang Mengzhen's hot tears fell on his palm. They are all his close relatives. Brother Yu is precocious and affectionate. He sees these things in his eyes and keeps them in his heart. At first he avoided emotional matters like snakes and scorpions. Later, after Jiang Mengyou's deliberate explanation, and witnessed the unswerving relationship between Jiang Mengzhen and Qi Heju, he naturally gave birth to the desire to be with the person he misses in his heart forever.But he happened to be the emperor, and accepting a concubine is not only a family matter but also a state matter. The poor man who can't find a wife admires the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards, surrounded by beauties, but he just wants to be alone. It is ten thousand times more difficult than a poor man marrying a wife. Sometimes things in the world are really paradoxical and absurd.

After the third day of the court, Brother Yu went straight to Qi's mansion in low clothes. He thought that even if the whole world didn't understand what he wanted, there must be someone who would. As long as he told his uncle what he wanted, Qi would be able Heju will definitely cherish him and help him succeed.

"Long live the emperor," Bi Yan hurriedly saluted when he saw him coming, "Please sit down in the inner room for a while, and this servant will go and invite Lord Hou and Young Master over."

"No, you just take me there."

"Here... Lord Marquis and Young Master are in the kitchen. There are fire and knives there. I'm afraid they will offend His Majesty..."

There is a fire burning in the heart of the young emperor, how can he wait?He directly asked Biyan to lead him to the kitchen, and only heard Jiang Mengzhen's smiling voice from inside: "Is it delicious? I think the sales are much better than last year's..."

"Of course it's delicious. This year it's egg noodles, and I ordered sesame oil..."

Hearing Qi Heju's words, Brother Yu thought that Jiang Mengzhen had made him a bowl of delicious noodles, but when he opened the door, he saw that the noodles on the table were a mess and the eggs were too broken Qi Heju ate with relish, as if all the delicacies in the world were inferior to this bowl of boiled noodles.

Hou Ye, who is an extremely human minister, and the most noble brother in the world are hiding in the kitchen and eating a bowl of rotten noodles. They are both smiling. Others may think they are ridiculous, but Brother Yu just feels extremely envious and yearning .

"Why did Brother Yu come here?" Jiang Mengzhen and Qi Heju quickly saluted, "Long live the emperor!"

"You don't need to be too polite," Brother Yu hurriedly supported the three of them, and said with a smile, "Little uncle and little uncle are still so affectionate, I'm really envious of others!"

Jiang Mengzhen also smiled slightly, "Today is his birthday. After we get married, I will make a bowl of birthday noodles for him every year on this day. It's just that my cooking skills are too bad. I know he said it's delicious." Just teasing me..."

"Why are you coaxing you? You don't know how long I've been looking forward to this bowl of noodles." Qi Heju ate a bowl of noodles until there was no soup left. When your hair is gray, your noodle making skills must be unmatched."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and they kept everything in silence. After reuniting, they will never miss the Lantern Festival every year, birthday noodles, and white plum blossoms in winter. Love is nourished in these small things. , no longer hesitated before, and became more firm and profound.

"I came here to ask my little uncle and my little uncle for a favor." Brother Yu couldn't bear it any longer, wishing he could stay with Zhou Changping so tenderly, and hurriedly confide what was in his heart: "Yesterday's flower feast , I have already chosen the queen, but the queen mother wants me to choose two more concubines to enter the palace together. I don't want to, I just want to stay with the queen first, but the queen mother refuses to agree, which makes me very troubled! I want my little uncle My little uncle and uncle will definitely understand my thoughts, I wonder if I can ask the three elders to help me, persuade my mother upwards, and my courtiers downwards, the only ones in the world who can help me achieve my wishes are you!"

Jiang Mengzhen was a little stunned. He glanced at Qi Heji, who had a deep complexion, and then at Brother Yu, who was showing an anxious look, and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter must be discussed in the long term. Marriage is not only a family matter, but also a state matter. From my point of view, it is not difficult for my sister. She has seen it a lot in recent years. It is really difficult for the courtiers... After all, you are the emperor, and you still have to think about it. What's more, once you say this, the empress you choose will bear more pressure and accusations than you, so before you make a decision, you must not spread your thoughts around..."

Brother Yu's heart trembled. Someone with a heart could not shake his mind, and it was inevitable that he would harm Zhou Changping. Some cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly said: "I only said that the empress and the three knew about it. I am also worried that something will go wrong. So I didn't say it rashly in the court, today my uncle is on leave, I'm afraid no one will support me if I say it..."

"Even if I am in court today, I will not support His Majesty's decision," Qi He said in a deep voice, "You are different from us after all. You are the Son of Heaven and the Emperor. If you do not follow the rules, you will be questioned and accused by the people of the world. Even with our identities, I betrayed the Qi family and only got to live with Mengzhen after a narrow escape. What kind of uproar will your decision cause? You are not in charge yet, and all parties in the DPRK have their own interests. Xin Xin, once these words come out, it will inevitably cause a great chaos, I hope you think twice."

Brother Yu never imagined that Qi Heju would not help him!Let him understand it with reason and move it with emotion, and Qi Heju was unmoved. Jiang Mengzhen saw his nephew looking frustrated and disappointed, and hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "This is something that cannot be rushed. Brother Yu goes back to the palace first, I will talk to him..."

He personally sent Brother Yu out of the mansion, patted him on the shoulder as comfortingly as he did when he was a child, and Qi Heli walked behind him and said, "If the emperor just gives up like this, it means that he can't keep it." Don't feel bad for the brother of the Zhou family for the rest of his life. You and I both know how difficult this road is, and it is even more difficult for him to be the emperor. How firm is his relationship? Can he hold on to it? My own heart? Before I saw the emperor's determination, I would never help him, otherwise I would not only harm him, but also the brother of the Zhou family."

"I understand that all the ministers can't help Brother Yu, and the brother of the Zhou family will become the target of public criticism," Jiang Mengzhen sighed, "I just feel that there are still affectionate people in this world, like my father, like you , Like Brother Yu, not all men are lustful. Some men are depraved and vulgar, and they say that everyone in the world is the same. This kind of word spreads more and more, and everyone thinks that it is a convention for men to play tricks It's a common thing, and it makes my brothers and sisters hopeless."

Qi Heju stopped him and said with a smile: "After hearing your emotion, I really hope Brother Yu won't disappoint you."

"I believe him," Jiang Mengzhen said, looking at her husband with a smile, "People in our Jiang family are always a little crazy."

Qi Hexi kissed his forehead lightly, "Yes, your family is much better than Qi's."

The three of them walked towards Baitouxuan arm in arm in the twilight. In the spring breeze, their shadows on the ground seemed to merge into one. There is me in you, and you in me.

When it came to summer, Wang Manling was hastily married to another place by his father, and Jiang Mengzhen did not misunderstand brother Yu, the young emperor had been desperately trying to win Qi Heli's support, and came to Qi Heli in subdued clothes after he came to court. The government did not give up easily because of Jiang Mengyou's obstruction and Qi Heju's refusal.

Jiang Mengzhen went to the palace to ask her sister what she meant, but Jiang Mengyou has already let go. As long as Brother Yu can persuade the courtiers, she will not object. It is rumored that Zhou Changping, the younger brother of the Uncle Xuanping's family, will become the queen, but the choice of the third concubine has not yet been revealed.

Ning Xin'er, the granddaughter of Ning Guogong, had a big fuss at home after hearing the rumors. She felt that she was better than Zhou Changping in every way. She didn't know how the emperor liked that wooden idiot. Her grandfather loved her very much because her father died early. The granddaughter hurried over to comfort her and said: "I have found out the news, the candidates for the two concubines have not been decided yet, if you only want to enter the palace, then grandpa will abandon this old face and ask the queen mother..."

"At that time, Zhou Changping was only born in the uncle's house, but his grandfather was the Duke of the State—there were only four Dukes of the State in my dynasty. It’s all about being a Marquis of ten thousand households, how honorable is my family’s family status? Could it be that I can’t be a queen and want Zhou Mutou to step on my head instead!”

"Hey, you can't talk nonsense!" Seeing his granddaughter's domineering appearance, Ning Guogong was also worried. If a person like her enters the palace, she is afraid that she will be able to offend everyone with a single mouth, and the emperor doesn't like her. , the queen mother is even more difficult to get along with, where is there a place for her in the harem?What's more, although he is a veteran, he is no longer in the center of power. Qi Heju's title is below him, but he actually holds 10,000+ elite soldiers and is in charge of countless money, food and military equipment. Voice?He is also the husband of a noble lord, a veritable relative of the emperor, and only a person like Ning Xin'er who has no winks dares to use his family status to overwhelm Qi Heji, and he is still complacent.

It's a pity that people are old and their ears are always weak in front of their children and grandchildren. Seeing that Ning Xin'er was crying, Duke Ning handed the sign to the palace to meet Jiang Mengyou. He didn't refuse, just asked about his body, and rewarded him with a lot of supplements and medicinal materials before leaving.Ning Guogong didn't have a clue in his heart, but someone with good deeds saw him enter the palace, and then received many rewards, so he couldn't help guessing that Ning Xiner had been chosen by the queen mother to be a concubine.

Rumors spread secretly, and Ning Xiner was ecstatic and defiant. She went to a temple in the suburbs of Beijing to fulfill her wish. Coincidentally, Zhou Changping also accompanied Sister Zhen to play here. After Sister Zhen became sensible, she also hated Ning Xin. As a person, she was only close to Zhou Changping, and she was less and less invited to the palace to accompany her. Ning Xiner felt that Zhou Changping had instigated the princess to obstruct her, preventing her from entering the palace to meet the emperor.

The princess's Luan is here, and Ning Xin'er is going to see her. Sister Zhen only said a few words to her, and then asked Zhou Changping to send her away.At this time, the imperial edict for the posthumous concubine has not yet come down, and the identities of the three have not changed. Ning Xiner can still show off her power in front of Zhou Changping. She lowered her voice in front of the stone steps: "Zhou Mutou, you don't have to be proud. Just because he likes me doesn't mean he won't change his mind after I enter the palace, let's keep fighting! I'll just see how long you can sit on the phoenix seat!"

Zhou Changping pretended not to hear, turned around and was about to leave. Seeing his calm face, Ning Xiner got angry in a moment, stretched out her hand and said to him, "I'm talking to you, what prestige are you playing? Do you really think you are a queen? "

Unexpectedly, the moss in the mountains was thick and there were stone steps in front of them. When Ning Xin'er pulled like this, Zhou Changping couldn't stand on his feet and rolled down the steps with an exclamation. Knowing that he had caused trouble, while everyone was surrounding Zhou Changping, he took his maid and ran away in a hurry.

Zhou Changping sprained his ankle. He is a kind man, and he didn't intend to complain to the emperor and queen mother, but sister Zhen was so scared by him, she told brother Yu when she came back, and then watched helplessly. His elder brother angrily overturned the books piled with memorials, "This vicious woman! Because of her family status, she doesn't pay attention to anyone. If I don't vent my anger for Changping today, I might as well not be this emperor!"

He passed Ning Guogong and Ning Xin'er into the palace overnight and reprimanded him. Brother Yu is not yet 16 years old, but Ning Guogong, who is in his sixties, is facing the wrath of the emperor. He really feels that his decayed body can hardly bear it. A rush of anger and pressure.When Jiang Mengyou heard the news and rushed over, he saw brother Yu sitting on the dragon chair with a face as heavy as water in the hall, Duke Ning Guo and Ning Xiner kneeling on the ground, one kept kowtowing, the other covered his mouth in embarrassment and couldn't even cry. Not daring to make a sound, Brother Yu's eyes met his mother's. At that moment, Jiang Mengyou suddenly felt that his son really had the majesty of an emperor. Brother Yu grew up very fast these days, because he Wants to protect the one he loves.

Soon, the Empress Dowager personally bestowed a marriage on Ning Xin'er, which was regarded as full of respect for the old officials, and also made the rumors in Beijing self-defeating. Brother Yu came to Qi Mansion again in the rain, and this time he was finally arrested. Qi Heju, please enter the inner room to discuss in detail.Jiang Mengzhen didn't know what they discussed. Brother Yu's expression was not relaxed when he left Qi's mansion. Jiang Mengzhen felt the same as Jiang Mengyou in a trance. This child has grown up unconsciously. During these days when he kept coming to Qi Mansion for help, his expression became more and more serious day by day. At first he was like a stunned young man full of fantasies about feelings. Gradually, he already knew that a deep relationship is easier than it is. Joy is more about responsibility and heaviness. He must keep his heart and work hard for the one he loves. If he makes a mistake, he will lose everything. The road ahead is full of thorns, and no one can help him. , only he and Zhou Changping supported each other to move forward.

Brother Yu went back to the palace to greet Jiang Mengyou, and proposed to announce the posthumous edict at the court tomorrow morning. Jiang Mengyou felt a little uneasy and asked, "If the courtiers ask you why you don't accept the concubine, what will you do?" answer?"

Brother Yu said slowly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I have my own opinion."

Jiang Mengyou was taken aback. This was the first time Brother Yu claimed to be "Zhen" in front of her. For Zhou Changping, he had to become a majestic emperor who could not be questioned and challenged. In the past, he was directly bumped into the throne by Qi Heju. But now he wants to become a real emperor for the love in his heart.

Above the court, the eunuchs only read out the imperial edict, and all the officials were really dissatisfied. Among the courtiers who had brothers and sisters in their families who had participated in the flower banquet in the palace, someone immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, why is there only an imperial edict?" , There is no will to seal the concubine? The royal blood is thin, and the people are waiting for your Majesty to spread out and spread the leaves, so that our dynasty can be passed down forever, and the country can be stable!"

"What Aiqing said is so true, why don't I know these things?" Brother Yu sighed softly while sitting on the dragon chair, "It's just that I'm still young. Indulging in harem powder will inevitably wear down the determination to make great efforts! "Tao Te Ching" says: Seeing what one desires makes one's heart undisturbed. This is what I worry about, so I only establish a queen to rectify her name and position, and do not accept concubines , to show my ambition, I hope that all adults will work together with me, then the resurgence of our dynasty will be just around the corner!"

All the courtiers were shocked. Some people wanted to persuade them again, but they felt that whatever they said would hinder the emperor's efforts to govern. Several courtiers tried to persuade them, but they said that the two things were not contradictory. Brother Yu But he refused to let go, and still put the government affairs first in his words, and the affairs of the harem will be postponed for the time being.

"The future will be long, so why bother to persuade you? Isn't it a blessing for the emperor to have such an ambition?" Qi Heju, who had been silent in the early morning court, suddenly knelt down and said, "I hope that I will help the emperor to create a prosperous world." , Long live my emperor!"

When everyone heard this, they all knelt down and responded, which made Jiang Mengyou extremely worried. There was no news that the emperor disregarded the rules and insisted on going his own way. Xianming, Brother Yu looked at the officials of Shanhu, and thought about what Qi Heju told him: "When the chaos happened, I knew that Mengzhen was in Jiangling, but after three years, I didn't go to him. , why do you think? Because the Xuanjia Army was not strong enough at that time, I would only bring him disaster if I went to him. What you love, you must become strong first. Your majesty has not yet ruled personally, so instead of declaring that the world will only marry the queen, it is better to hold back for now. As long as your majesty is infatuated, wait until you hold all the power in the world in your hands, the queen Naturally, it became your tiger's beard, who would dare to stroke it? When I married your little uncle at the age of 17, I was no different from a man with a jade in his arms. I couldn't protect him at all, and I don't know how much wronged he has suffered.
