Are you stupid?

"Your Majesty speaks well, the concubine is taking Shenlong back to rest, and your Majesty should not be exhausted from state affairs."

Eighteen years as a husband and wife, Empress Cui knew Emperor Taixing's character like the palm of his hand, and she was impeccable in speaking and doing things in front of Emperor Taixing.

Her triumphant gaze swept across the courtiers, and when she landed on the second son, she was already full of love, and she said softly: "Shenlong, thank you to your father."

The young man took a step forward, raised his face slightly, revealing an extremely delicate face, with a bright smile on his face, and saluted in a vague way, "I thank you, my father." Then he returned to his original position, like a baby bird following its mother bird. Yes, step by step to follow behind Empress Cui.

There are not many men in the world who can harden their hearts in the face of their beautiful wives and young children.

Emperor Taixing was still immersed in the beautiful pictures brought by his wife and children, and stroked his beard full of joy, but when he saw the dissatisfied gazes of the courtiers, his body froze, and he returned to his bitter haha ​​look.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince's character is innocent. In terms of strategy, he is not as useful as the weak Third Prince. How can Your Majesty be so bewildered by beauty that he will ignore the state of the country!" Wei Yan continued to take deep breaths, but still couldn't hold down his chest Depressed, he was so angry that he accused Emperor Taixing of taking the important matter of Li Chu as a joke.

Emperor Taixing would not be angry if he scolded Emperor Taixing's son for being stupid or sick, after all, it was all the truth; but Emperor Taixing couldn't bear it when it came to Empress Cui.

He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair fiercely and glared at him, "It's ridiculous. I didn't like the late emperor in the early years, thanks to the queen's hard work for me. The queen is a role model for all women in the world. How dare you speak out to humiliate the queen? Where are the court guards? Drag Wei Shangshu away Go out, fight, fight...three."

After all, it is an indecisive temperament. When he is angry, he is really angry, but when he wants to deal with the courtiers, he can't help being soft again.

After hesitating for a while, Emperor Taixing finally ordered the nondescript number of three court sticks to deal with the matter.

"I'm tired, let's retreat." Emperor Taixing left in a hurry, fearing that the courtiers would chase him to the apse and "discuss" which prince is suitable for the East Palace.

Standing in the hall, Zhang Xi looked at Emperor Taixing's fleeing posture, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled.

After going to court, he returned home unhurriedly by car, changed his official uniform, went into the inner room, and held his wife Zhou's palm, "Madam, you don't have to worry about Wan'er's marriage anymore. You pass the sign into the palace today." , bring Wan'er to meet the second prince."

Shocked, Mrs. Zhou stared at her husband with wide eyes, with a face full of disbelief, and blurted out: "You actually plan to marry our daughter to a fool?!"

Zhang Xi laughed lowly, patted the back of his wife's hand to comfort him, "Ma'am, you're worrying too much."

Mrs. Zhou was puzzled, so she grabbed Zhang Xi and asked repeatedly, "What is the master's plan, you should tell me clearly. You are vague, which makes me panic."

Zhang Xi glanced sideways at the courtyard where his daughter lived, and smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves unhurriedly, "When His Majesty is here, we discuss marriage with His Majesty. Wan'er once said that His Majesty is good at everything, just I can't listen to her words, and I can't let her show her ambitions. Now that His Majesty prefers the Second Highness to enter the East Palace, isn't it just right? The Second Highness has always listened to people's words and has a generous temperament. Once Wan'er enters the palace, she can flex her fists as she pleases."

After hearing what her husband said, Zhou's face turned pale, but after a while, his eyes lit up.

She grabbed her husband's palm excitedly, and couldn't help raising her voice, "The second prince is a fool. In the future, regardless of the court and harem, he will have to rely on Wan'er. Wan'er, Wan'er can do whatever they want!"

"Madam be careful." Zhang Xi reached out and pressed Zhou's lips, but his eyes were exactly the same as his wife's crazy look for power.

Mrs. Zhou immediately stood up and called the servant girl to change her clothes. She couldn't hide her smile and said, "Master is indeed far-sighted. I will bring Wan'er into the palace right now, and let the Second Highness have a blind date with her."

Zhang Xi nodded, drank the hot tea with a smile, and instructed carefully, "You might as well tell your mother more about Wan'er helping me with the government documents. By the way, tell your mother that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Cui have been married many times, and they are trustworthy people. If we can get closer, the Zhang family will definitely help His Highness the Second Highness."

……

Shenlong sat in front of the table, holding a small bowl, without moving his hands, while the considerate maid fed the fish soup into his mouth spoon by spoon.

The court lady's kind appearance made Shenlong feel that he was not a 13-year-old boy, but a three-year-old baby.

But since he started disguising himself as a mentally handicapped child, Shenlong has been playing around with him as he pleases. He just eats when the maid feeds him, and he doesn't feel ashamed of his behavior at all.

Empress Cui admired Shenlong Shitang with a smile all over her eyes. Her eyes were gratified, just like the owner of a pig farm who found out that the piglets at home spontaneously fed him fat.

When he was [-]% full, Shenlong immediately shook his head, avoiding the spoon brought to his mouth, the maid immediately took the opportunity, wiped Shenlong's hands and mouth, and left coldly with the leftovers.

"Shenlong used a few more spoonfuls today, his bones must be healed."

Shenlong nodded vigorously, and replied happily: "I'm hungry, I want to eat."

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, eat more if you like it." Empress Cui smiled and ordered the palace servants to bring a lot of melons and fruits, cut them into small pieces and placed them in front of Shenlong.

Sure enough, soon there were new maids who served Shenlong to eat fruits.

Alas, the evil feudal society, this corrupt day is really cool.

When Shenlong was eight percent full, he hurriedly refused, no matter what was served, he refused to speak.

Empress Cui was about to say something when the palace servants came to send a message.

After hearing this, Empress Cui gave a slightly sarcastic chuckle, but said in her mouth: "Mr. Zhou has a heart, let their mother and daughter come in, don't neglect—forget it, since we have caught up, I will add two food tables for them."

Empress Cui was also a beauty when she was young, and she has been an empress for more than [-] years, and her style is unmatched.But when entertaining Zhou's mother and daughter, Empress Cui faded the smile on her face, as if she was just a cold stone statue, waiting for Zhou's mother and daughter to speak first.

The atmosphere should have been very embarrassing, but Mrs. Zhou was also thick-skinned, pulling her daughter to greet Empress Cui and Shenlong without realizing it.

She pushed Zhang Wan to sit next to Shenlong, and said straight to the point, "The concubine heard that the empress insists on etiquette, and the Zhang family also thinks that since your majesty has a son, there is no need to set a bad example. This child, Wan'er, was raised by the empress. Meticulous in thinking and well-organized in his actions. Accompanying the Second Highness on a daily basis can make His Highness shine and avoid many troubles. What do you think, Madam?"

Empress Cui cast her indifferent eyes on Zhang Wan, slowly revealing some certainty.

Zhang Wan sat by Shenlong's side, her face did not look like a little girl's coquettish, she was as solemn as another of his foster mothers.

Empress Cui naturally knew that her son was stupid, and there would never be any young girl who would have feelings for him, but there is no benefit in not having feelings for men and women.

As long as a woman's heart is cold, she will naturally not be procrastinating in doing things.

Zhang Wan was originally one of the candidates selected by Empress Cui for the eldest son as a concubine. In terms of appearance, family background, and skills, it was naturally in line with Empress Cui's wishes.Empress Cui was not at ease with such a woman by Shenlong's side. The only shortcoming was that just a few days after the eldest son passed away, Zhang's family decided to blame Shenlong, which really made her a mother unhappy.

"My lady, the ancestors of the Zhang family had many marriages with the Cui family. No matter whether things are successful or not, my father is on the side of righteousness; but if you get closer, the entire Zhang family is willing to be your mother's pawn." Zhang Wan refused to evade. Looking into Empress Cui's eyes, she said bluntly, "I originally didn't intend to enter the palace. It was because she married the second prince that she could be the master of the house."

"I naturally know that you don't want to be confined to the inner house, but if you become the master of the dragon, when the time comes for your husband and wife to quarrel, is Jiang Shan's surname Liu or Zhang?" Empress Cui's words made her blush.

After a long while, Zhang Wan finally lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty are in the prime of their spring and Autumn period. After more than ten or twenty years, all the courtiers and girls have given birth to a basket, and they are still separated from the Second Highness." What you and me."

Zhang Wan's arrogance was finally suppressed.

Empress Cui raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and finally gave her a promise, "It's lonely in the palace, since you want to, come and walk around the palace more often, and accompany our mother and daughter."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Zhang Wan kowtowed excitedly, and left with Mrs. Zhou satisfied.

Empress Cui looked at her second son who had lingered to her side at some point, smiled and pinched his cheek, "My son, Shenlong, do you like your sister Wan'er?"

In order to show her goodwill, Zhang Wan used to get close to Shenlong, and Shenlong was very familiar with her.Empress Cui thought she could hear her son's praise for Zhang Wan, but she didn't expect that Shenlong shook his head and refused even if he wanted to.

"Why doesn't Shenlong like Zhang Wan?" Empress Cui's expression changed, and she wondered in her heart whether Zhang Wan was always obedient and obedient, and she trained Shenlong behind her back.

Shenlong's answer quickly dispelled Empress Cui's worries, "Zhang Wan, she's too ugly, not as good as me. Look, I can't eat."

Empress Cui was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing uncontrollably, and slapped her son on the forehead, "You are so narrow-minded. Zhang Wan's appearance is gentle and generous, not ugly."

Shenlong pursed his lips, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "I'm wearing women's clothes and throwing her ten miles away, Zhang Wan is too ugly."

"Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, a beautiful one can't help you. After the marriage is completed, if you look down on Zhang Wan, treat her as your sister-in-law and respect her. You don't have to go to her house to rest at night." Empress Cui made a calm decision.

Shenlong couldn't laugh at Empress Cui's decision after repeated persuasion, but the mother and son didn't know that Wei Yan, who had found dozens of reasons to persuade Emperor Taixing not to appoint Shenlong as the crown prince, finally persuaded Emperor Taixing in Caiyun Palace.

"Oh, after doing this, you won't stop me from appointing Shenlong as the crown prince?"

"Your Majesty takes care of everything every day, and so will His Majesty in the future. If the Second Highness handles such a trivial matter, how can I rest assured." Wei Yan said, and presented a package of memorials.

After looking through it casually, Emperor Taixing confirmed that it was indeed a trouble that could be seen every year. He waved his servant to send the memorial to Chengqing Hall, and restricted Shenlong to make countermeasures within an hour.

I haven’t worked hard for several years, but there are still little angels remembering me, thank you little angels, eh~

Thank you for marching into Koshien in the coming year, the rain stops and the cloudless mines.
