Although the mother's heart is toward the Xia family, I am also his son and the emperor of Datong, so she will naturally worry about me.The queen mother sometimes analyzes the situation in the court better than I do.

Seeing that Fengyin's matter was all right, she started what she was really worried about, so she said: "Emperor, if you canonize Yi'er as the crown prince like this, then the He family, Jia family, and Xia family you maintain in the court Will the situation where the three families are equal be broken? Will anyone in the He family be unconvinced? Don’t forget, He Wenwu still has the military power to fight outside.” In my previous life, when I favored the Jia family, the queen mother also earnestly gave it to him. I said it was reasonable, but I ignored it. In this life, I will humbly listen to what my mother said to me.

"Don't worry about this mother, the He family in the harem is nothing more than Concubine Wen." When I planned to make Li Yi the crown prince, I had already analyzed the movement in the court, and I said, "It's not like you don't know Concubine Wen's character. , what can he fight for?"

The queen mother listened to my tone a bit perfunctory, and said questioningly: "You don't feel sorry for your concubine Wen, you make Yi'er the crown prince, so you are not afraid of Concubine Wen's sadness?"

I was a little funny when I heard it, and asked back: "What is so sad about him? He has been in the palace for so long, and his stomach hasn't moved at all." I suppressed my temper and explained to the queen mother, "Even if Concubine Wen gave birth Prince, so what? With Concubine Wen's temperament, the prince she educated is probably as weak as him. How could she be the emperor of Datong? No matter how much I dote on Concubine Wen, Concubine Wen will not live up to her expectations. That's no way out, I think the He family has given up on Concubine Wen a long time ago."

After listening to my words, the queen mother was silent for a while, but the more she thought about it, the more something went wrong, she sat up, and asked with some uncertainty: "Even so, Concubine Wen will be protected by you, so the status of the He family in the harem He is the one who is known, but the Xia family is different, there is not a Xia family in your favorite concubine, now that the Jia family is in power, why don't you take the opportunity to suppress the Xia family?" The queen mother is really smart, and she turned the corner so quickly. It is indeed the result I want.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the queen mother thought she had guessed right. She looked at me incredulously, her voice trembling, "Just say, why did you insist on killing Rou Zhaoyi in the first place? The forces here? It turns out that you have been staring at the Xia family since then, and you, like Xiaoba, hate the Xia family so much?"

In my previous life, I pissed off my mother to death because I destroyed Xia's family with great fanfare. How could I repeat the same mistakes now?Since I was reborn, I have never shown any dislike for the Xia family. I pretended to be surprised and explained: "Why does the queen mother think so? The grand master Xia is the elder of the three dynasties, and the Xia family is a relative of the emperor. It is too late for my son and minister to trust me." , How could you suppress them?" I can't let the queen mother know that I have murderous intentions for the Xia family, lest she tell Grand Master Xia about the old fox, and make the Xia family be on guard.

"Don't lie to the Ai family," the queen mother didn't believe me at all, and said, "You, like Xiaoba, think that your brother's death was caused by members of the Xia family, and you also want to seek revenge from the Xia family, don't you? Su'er didn't kill Yi, you..."

I directly interrupted my mother's words, pretending to be very serious and said: "If my minister really wants to avenge the emperor's brother, then my emperor's sister-in-law, Empress Xia, shouldn't be staying in the Taimiao to play the piano, but should have been with the emperor long ago." Brother is gone, don’t you think so?”

"Emperor, you..." The queen mother was at a loss for words. This was something she had kept from me for six years. She knew that I wanted to kill Xia Zhisu to avenge the emperor, so she begged me to let go. Xia Zhisu.Then she placed Xia Zhisu in the imperial temple to raise her well. Six years later, I suddenly mentioned again how the queen mother could be on guard.

"The queen mother wants to ask how Erchen knows? In fact, Erchen already knew." I have to let the queen mother trust me. I want to tell her that I don't hate Xia Zhisu, Xia Taishi, or Xia Shi. Family, I want to tell her that I am a very sensible person, and I will make good use of the Xia family. I continued: "I have talked with the emperor's wife before, and I feel that the emperor's wife is different from her younger sister. She is not a vicious person." I think there must be a misunderstanding between her and the emperor's brother, and now the emperor's wife eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism every day, and my son-in-law looks pitiful." I said something that even felt disgusting to me, just to reassure the queen mother.

After hearing what I said, the queen mother's eyes were wet, she grabbed my sleeve, nodded and said: "It's good that the emperor understands, don't misunderstand Su'er, the mother's heart will be relieved." I took out the brocade handkerchief, Wiping away tears for the mother, she felt very pitiful, Xia Zhisu's poison in her was too deep, and the Xia family really wasn't that easy to deal with.

On an auspicious day at the end of August, I started the crowning ceremony for the crown prince.The sun was shining brightly that day, and Li Yi, who was only a little over a year old, was wearing a tailor-made palace suit for him, sitting on the brown-yellow prince's imperial sedan chair carried by 36 people, and slowly walked towards the steps of the main hall. come.After the sedan chair stopped, two eunuchs who were still young lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and helped Li Yi out. Li Yi was still young, and when had he seen such a solemn and grand scene, his little face was flushed.

At this time, Jia Wanru and I walked to the two sides of Li Yi in the formal clothes I would wear when offering sacrifices. One of them took a small hand of Li Yi and pulled him to the carpet made of red silk, stepping on more than 200 feet. Up the stairs, to the door of the main hall.When we turned around, thousands of officials had a panoramic view. They were all neatly dressed and worshiped us.This was the first time that Li Yi, who was less than two years old, felt the etiquette treatment he received as a member of the royal family and as a prince.At this moment, Li Yi smiled.

At this time, Jia Wanru even showed a triumphant smile. She seemed to feel that she and King Rui's plan were one step closer.But she didn't know that it was my plan to confer Li Yi as the prince.And I will be very good to Li Yi, better than the last life, Li Yi will become my favorite son, I will give him all the best things, I will let him know the right, know what a prince is, Recognize the allure of the throne.

At the beginning of September, the peonies in the Qingluan Palace have long since withered, and He Wenliu has no intention of making chrysanthemums this year. He always sits alone in the palace in a daze. If Dan’er can accompany him at ordinary times, he is really Nothing to do.

And He Wenliu's stomach still hasn't moved, thanks to my incarnation of Qijilang Yiye every day for more than three months, today I asked Wang Qing when He Wenliu will be able to conceive a child, Wang Qing still said the three words "multiple intercourse" ", made me depressed for a long time in the imperial study.

When I was still depressed, Wanfu came in and said, "Your Majesty, the peony you asked me to take care of has already bloomed, would you like to see it?"

I thought about it, this spring, I seem to have really ordered Wanfu to find someone to take care of the peony plant.It seems to have happened at the beginning of the year. At that time, a governor knew that I loved He Wenliu, and He Wenliu liked peonies, so the governor gave me a peony. He said that this peony is not an ordinary peony, and ordinary peonies sprout in spring. It blooms in summer, but this peony germinates in summer and blooms in autumn, and the leaves are brownish yellow, and the flowers are light purple. At night, under the moonlight, the leaves of this peony will turn golden yellow, and the petals will also change from light purple to purple. Blue, extremely coquettish, can be said to be the best and rare among flowers.I remember that I ordered someone to take good care of this flower, and planned to give it to He Wenliu after it bloomed.

I said, "Move in and let me see."

Not long after, a little eunuch came in with a small flower pot in both hands. When I saw the peony, my heart trembled. I have been with He Wenliu for so long. I have never seen any peony, but this one Peonies do have an appealing smell.Ordinary light purple peonies give people a sense of purity and coolness, but this peony, against the backdrop of brown-yellow flowers and branches, has a more enchanting and charming power, and it is indeed the best among flowers.

I think, if I give it to He Wenliu, He Wenliu will definitely like it very much, and maybe his mind will be diverted.I remember He Wenliu told me that it would take at least three or four years to plant peonies from seeds and wait for them to bloom. If I searched for the seeds of this peony from all over the world and let He Wenliu plant them, then he would at least have Three or four years have been busy.Although I don't like him always doing his plants in the yard, but I don't like him doing nothing but being full of dead Dan'er. Even if he can't conceive a child, peony can be regarded as a kind of sustenance.

After thinking about this, I stood up and said to Wanfu: "Take this flower and follow me to Qingluan Palace."

After entering the courtyard of Qingluan Temple, I asked Wanfu to put the peony on the stone table in the courtyard. After the moon came out at night, I took He Wenliu out of the house and let him see the peony under the moonlight. It was a surprise for him.

As soon as I approached the entrance of the main hall, I heard someone talking inside. Strangely, He Wenliu would also have guests. I remember that He Wenliu had no one to chat with in the harem. Then, I heard people who were flattering and coquettish The flattering voice said, "Concubine Wen, please~, please write a family letter to General He~~, I have brought gifts for you today~" Hearing this, I sighed Well, the only person who can make this kind of sound is my eighth brother, Li Mubing.

Xiao Bali lived behind his mansion, like a wild horse that had run loose, and could not be brought back. There was a commotion in the capital every three days. Today, he seduced the son of the Taifu, and tomorrow, he will seduce the new Kewu champion. I was seduced by sex, and later a minister who was not afraid of death really gave Xiao Ba a copy. Although the minister was also sent to farm by me, it is not a problem for Xiao Ba to make such a fuss.Later, I went to talk to him specifically, thinking of giving him something to do. When Xiao Ba heard this, his little face was wrinkled like a bun, and he planned to eat imperial grains as rice worms.Why didn't he play outside today and came to the palace to harass He Wenliu?

As soon as I entered the gate of the main hall, I saw Xiao Ba pulling He Wenliu's sleeve and swaying it left and right. I knew very well that this was Xiao Ba's standard coquettish posture. "

After Xiaoba saw me, he didn't salute me, and started pulling my sleeve, saying: "Brother Huang, help me beg Concubine Wen, let him write a letter to General He."

As expected, Xiao Ba was still thinking about He Wenwu in his heart, so I deliberately asked him: "Concubine Wen wrote a letter to General He, what's bothering you?" When Xiao Ba heard this, his face turned red, and he said, "Then... ...Then I want Concubine Wen to mention me in the letter."

For this reason, I smiled and said: "Then you can write a letter to General He yourself, and why do you want to trouble Concubine Wen?" Xiaoba looked a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I am not reserved. "

Whoops, Xiaoba still says that he is reserved?I didn’t expose him either. In fact, He Wenwu led his troops out to fight because he was scared by Xiaoba. If he received a letter from Xiaoba, he would definitely burn it without reading it. up.Then I smiled and asked: "Didn't you just say that you brought a gift for Concubine Wen, what is it?"

As soon as I asked, Xiao Ba immediately took out a small flagon from behind, and said proudly: "This, Brother Huang, you haven't even drunk it, the 40-year-old Daughter Red." Then Xiao Ba began to brag Said: "This wine was brewed by the owner of Niangniang Hotel in Jingcheng himself 40 years ago. There are only three jars. A few days ago, the owner's granddaughter got married, so he took out the wine as a dowry. I begged the owner for a long time. The boss just gave me this small pot."

I glanced at He Wenliu, and couldn't help but mutter in my heart, does He Wenliu drink alcohol?Anyway, in my impression, he is almost a teetotaler.

Although He Wenliu was dull, he couldn't stand Xiao Ba's obsession. He said, "Eighth Prince, it's not that I don't want to help you, but there are rules in the palace. Concubines are not allowed to exchange letters with people outside the palace, so I really help you." Not you."

After hearing He Wenliu's explanation, Xiaoba turned to me and asked, "Brother Huang, is there such a thing?"

I nodded, there are indeed, this is the rule set by the ancestors, it seems to prevent the neglected concubines from being lonely and committing adultery with outsiders.

He Wenliu looked at Xiaoba's disappointed expression, and couldn't bear it, thought for a while and said: "Actually, the Eighth Prince doesn't have to look for me, you can go to my elder brother for help, my elder brother lives outside the palace, I remember him There are often letters between me and my second brother."

When Xiao Ba saw that Brother He Wenliu was still on the road, his big eyes lit up, and then he handed the jug in his hand to He Wenliu, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Concubine Wen." Then he bowed to me Li, said: "Then I will take my leave." After speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Later, I really saw Xiaoba blocking He Wenyan who had just come down to court, and I didn't know what he was talking about. Of course, these are all things for later.
