Are you stupid?

Empress Cui has always been a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. When she makes up her mind, no one can defy her will.

Empress Cui walked resolutely, leaving Shenlong standing in the corridor.

Under the lights, he was clearly surrounded by maids and companions, but he looked extremely lonely.

"Your Highness..." Mu Huaiyuan looked at Shenlong's lonely appearance, his heart softened, and he suddenly regretted exposing the too close mother-child relationship between Shenlong and Empress Cui.

Shenlong waved away Mu Huaiyuan's outstretched hand, gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

After he finished speaking, he lowered his shoulders, took a deep breath, and apologized to Mu Huaiyuan, "It's my fault, I shouldn't take it out on you."

Shenlong was oppressed by his father and brother when he was young. Although he had enough food and clothing, he was very frustrated.When he found out why Emperor Taixing insisted on suppressing himself to raise his elder brother's status, he was "stupid for accidentally hitting his head".Over the years, without Empress Cui's protection, a foolish and unfavored prince would definitely be bullied in the harem.

At that time, the Shenlong was not only "useless" to Queen Cui, but also "shameful". Even in front of Emperor Taixing, because she suddenly had a stupid son, Queen Cui also received criticism from other concubines. and runs.

But after Empress Cui knew the truth, she did not pretend that nothing had happened, but directly alienated the eldest son who was most likely to ascend the throne and become her reliance for the rest of her life. Let Shenlong live a peaceful and comfortable life for seven years.

There has never been a reason in this world that a mother should love her children for granted, not to mention that Shenlong is not the best and most pleasing to Empress Cui's four children.

Therefore, Shenlong is not only full of filial piety to Empress Cui as a son, but also owes her countless kindnesses.

If Shenlong had just taken the crown prince position, and distanced himself from his mother who had given him countless favors, he would be reviled by everyone and his reputation would be ruined.

But once Empress Cui stands in front of Shenlong in everything, then with Empress Cui's protective attitude towards Shenlong, she must try to solve the matter before it reaches Shenlong, so that Shenlong will not be troubled by it.

For a moment it looked beautiful, as if everything was going well.

But as time goes on, the courtiers will only say, "The prince is good at women's hands after all, and he doesn't take any responsibility when things happen. He will only grab the corner of Empress Cui's skirt and let his mother shield him from the wind and rain."

And this is the worst possible outcome.

The power in the hands of Empress Cui has always been trapped in the harem, but Shenlong is destined to enter the former dynasty.Once Empress Cui crossed the confinement of the harem and "shared worries and solved problems" for Shenlong in the previous court for a long time, no one can guarantee that Empress Cui will change, giving birth to her ambition, and making her become a power-crazy among many in the court evil spirits.

At that point, if Shenlong can't be a puppet emperor obediently, but wants to regain power, he will no longer be Empress Cui's "good son", but a stumbling block and a blocker on her way to gain power. The queen can only embark on the road of mother and child killing each other with Shenlong.

In the previous life, Shenlong was always "stupid". No matter how many clans and powerful officials tried to get involved in the imperial power, Empress Cui fought for him, and she would only leave a good reputation for being virtuous; Road.If it cannot be contained in time, the ending may not be so happy.

Although Mu Huaiyuan didn't speak so harshly to Empress Cui, he expressed his meaning very clearly.

Both Empress Cui and Shenlong knew that what Mu Huaiyuan said was the truth, even if he was willing to take the initiative to point out the difficulties facing Shenlong, it was harmful to himself.

In this regard, Shenlong is also a beneficiary. He can resent the torture that fate brought him, but he has no right to blame Mu Huaiyuan for his sobriety.

Mu Huaiyuan rubbed the top of Shenlong's head, his eyes were soft, and he didn't take Shenlong's angry words to heart at all, "His Royal Highness must learn to restrain his temper, otherwise in a few years, the courtiers will kneel down and persuade you to sin against yourself." ordered."

Shenlong patted Mu Huaiyuan's hand and hummed angrily, "I think you should be more careful when you speak, otherwise if you are stabbed in front of the father, you will definitely be punished for the serious crime of plotting the throne."

Only the emperor can write the "Zui Ji Zhao", and Mu Huaiyuan's words are tantamount to implying that Emperor Taixing will not live for a few years.

If this kind of word spreads out, there will be riots all over the city.

Shenlong strode towards Chengqing Hall, Mu Huaiyuan took his arm, "What is Your Highness doing back?"

"Changing clothes. The queen mother didn't say anything, but she definitely didn't want me to see my wife in wet clothes. It happened to be dark and the wind was cooler. I went back to wipe myself, drink a bowl of anti-alcohol medicine, and change into light clothes It's not too late to meet people again." After speaking, Shenlong left without any hesitation.

Mu Huaiyuan slowly stalked behind him, seeing that Shenlong quickly regained his vitality, he was finally relieved.

No matter when, no matter how difficult it is, Shenlong will never lose his vitality.

Washing off the smell of alcohol, Shenlong looked at the large dresses lined up in front of him, and waved his hands tiredly, "Where's the rouge robe I often wear? I'll wear this at night."

Bauhinia wondered, "His Royal Highness, the Taoist robes you often wear are not new. Wouldn't it be a good idea to wear them out to meet guests?"

The maids were sent by Empress Cui to serve Shenlong. After so many years, they are used to making decisions for Shelong, and it is the same this time.As soon as Shenlong opened his mouth, they objected, and even picked out the jacket they liked and gestured to Shenlong, "Your Highness, why don't you wear this grape purple phoenix phoenix one-shoulder jacket, which is just right with the tourmaline green horse-face skirt. Lost the agility of His Highness's age."

Shenlong subconsciously frowned and looked at Mu Huaiyuan.

It really made Mu Huaiyuan right. Regardless of good intentions or bad intentions, Empress Cui and the people around her are used to "taking care" of Shenlong. At a young age, it is just a matter of dressing and eating. Order to take it seriously.

——It's really too bold to refute Shenlong's decision without even thinking about it.

Shenlong said with a heavy tone, "Bauhinia, I want to wear a rouge-colored Taoist robe."

Zijing froze and looked at Shenlong cautiously, thinking he was angry.

——Bauhinia and the others were all trained and sent here after Shenlong became "foolish". Knowing that Shenlong regained his sanity, he couldn't remember all the previous days, and they were very disturbed. annoyed them.

The palace people in Chengqing Palace are all dedicated to themselves, and the changes because of their own plans make them feel at a loss, and it also makes Shenlong helpless.

He explained in a soft voice: "Bauhinia, in the past it was all because of you being considerate to me that I could live comfortably; but now I am not muddle-headed in the past few years. I don't like being denied by others when I make decisions."

"Yes, Your Highness. This servant will go get the rouge-colored Taoist robe." Bauhinia has never seen Shenlong so independent and powerful, but under Shenlong's eyes, she did not dare to disobey at all, obediently wrote down the request, and was very happy. Send me the rouge-coloured gown, ironed and spiced.

After changing his clothes, Shenlong only hung a sachet around his waist and went out to the banquet in Fengxi Palace.

Shenlong's clothes were simple, even too simple, even Empress Cui couldn't help asking in front of all the wives, "I told you to go back and drink some hangover soup, and take off the boa robe that was splashed by the wine. I changed my old clothes and came over."

Shenlong smiled, sat directly under Empress Cui, and waved to the neat and half-short wives who greeted him, "It's not that I'm going to worship the ancestors, my son is just having a banquet at my own home, how can I do that?" It needs to be dressed up."

As soon as Shenlong's words came out of his mouth, all the wives present quietly changed their expressions.

The prince said this lightly, but the meaning in it is the same as "Is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's subjects on the shore of the land", which is beyond the reach of a weak idiot.

The news of the prince's recovery was not discounted at all!

In the past, I vaguely heard that the Second Highness was too smart to displease the First Highness and the news that the brothers were estranged, but now that I think about it, it actually reveals a bit of sincerity.In this way, the Second Highness suffered an accident when he was young and became an idiot, and after the First Highness died on the way to sacrifice to the Taimiao, he suddenly recovered from his illness, which seemed to reveal a subtle taste that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.

Shenlong said a few words on the scene, took the initiative to toast three cups to the women, and then sat beside Empress Cui to eat quietly, except for being asked by Empress Cui occasionally, he didn't say much; Tell Gong'e to prepare more food for Fan Su, and don't let him go back hungry.

As a result, the wives' evaluation of Shenlong has risen to a higher level - no matter whether there are wives who beat the palace with words or not, at least the prince himself is neither arrogant nor rash, does not like to show off, and is considerate to himself.

Thinking about it, such a prince would not be too difficult to get along with.

Empress Cui Linmu has dealt with the wives outside the palace for many years, and she knows their temperament well.When the dinner was about to end, she suddenly called out the names of several wives, and said with a calm smile: "Shenlong and Xingye have grown up, and they no longer like to pester me like they were when they were young. I heard that the wives have many children in their families. Kong Duo brought the child into the palace for a walk, and it also made my Fengqi Palace feel happy and lively along with it."

The eyes of the wives suddenly lit up, and they managed to maintain the expressions on their faces, not letting themselves laugh as if they were hit by a pie falling from the sky, and said submissively, "The children in the family are all like monkeys, thanks to your mother. I don’t dislike it. I will definitely take them into the palace more often.”

The wives come here in high spirits and return when they are exhausted.

As soon as I got into my carriage at the gate of the palace, I immediately exchanged news about the prince Shenlong with my husband, among which Wei Yan and his wife had the most serious expressions.

Mrs. Chen frowned beautifully, and said uncertainly: "Has Your Majesty ever told you before that he wants to marry our family?"

Wei Yan shook his head, unable to hear the meaning of his wife's words, "Is there anything inappropriate about seeing the prince in Fengqi Palace? I'm not at ease. I always feel that His Majesty is giving the prince too much momentum in order to make the prince smoother. gone."

Mrs. Chen saw that her husband didn't pay attention to family affairs at all, so she pinched Wei Yan severely, and said angrily: "Your Majesty deliberately left me, Mrs. Liu of the Zhou family, and Princess Ronglu behind. Let the children of the family come to the palace more, you still have the mind to think about whether His Majesty is trying to create momentum for the crown prince! If you want to create momentum or not, the Second Highness has also entered the East Palace, you should think about it for our fourth mother!"

Wei Yan finally regained his senses from the pain, and the first thing he said was: "Is the queen sincere? She didn't mean to deliberately delay our daughter because I always opposed His Majesty's appointment of His Majesty as the crown prince in the court hall."

Mrs. Chen became more and more annoyed, her sharp nails sank into Wei Yan's flesh, "Oh, I said, why don't you tell me about the important affairs of the court, so you have said such things? Now Ah Qian is the prince's companion, Si Niang is about to be invited into the palace by the empress again, half of them are bad, see if I will let you sleep peacefully at home!"
