Shuinong's body was placed in a tent outside the Huitong Hall.

When Yin Shengle arrived, the emperor and empress Shang were already there.

Due to the earthquake last night, the emperor dismissed the Dachaohui today. Instead, he began to summon important officials in the imperial study room before dawn, and quickly issued disaster relief orders one by one. By now, he was basically busy enough to have Take time to take a look at the only Shui Nong who died in the earthquake last night.

Yes.

The number of people affected by the disaster in the former court and harem has been counted. In the palace—or in the entire imperial city, there were people who were slightly injured or seriously injured, but only Shuinong was the only one who lost his life.

"Tsk, this is too tragic." Yin Shengle could clearly hear the second prince's muttering.

Then he saw his emperor's father give his second brother a fierce look, and the second prince yawned indifferently as if he was used to it.

The emperor had already comforted Shuiyue once, and now this delicate and weak mountain princess was leaning on the side of Empress Shang, her eyes were flushed, as if she had already cried.

But her eyes were only slightly red, other than that, Shuiyue didn't even look tired at all, obviously she had a good rest last night.

"It seems that this princess has no real affection for her brother." Yin Shengle turned sideways and whispered something to Shen Hui.

Shen Hui also lowered his voice and responded: "If what the princess said in the restaurant that day is true, I'm afraid that not only are they not as easy as brothers and sisters, but most of them are resentful and hostile."

In the restaurant.

Shuiyue negotiated a deal between Shuinong and the fifth prince in private in front of everyone, and she wanted to shake off the fact that she was the fifth prince's side concubine; and Shuinong originally wanted to snatch Shen Jing It was only when Hua went back to serve that he became drunk crazy, and at that time, the Shuiyue just happened to protect Shen Jinghua.

Yin Shengle agreed with Shen Hui's judgment very much, he nodded, and said again: "After all, he is the prince of the mountain people, he has only been in Beijing for a long time, and he lost his life, and the father appointed to compensate the king and daughter. "

Seeing that the emperor and empress Shang hadn't noticed that he was waiting for someone to come in, Yin Shengle lowered his voice: "I see that she is not willing to be the prince's side concubine. Once this Shuinong dies, the father will have to do it no matter what." Scrupulous about her own wishes in referring to the marriage, in this way, it will be fulfilled for her."

Shui Nong didn't look like a good brother when he was alive, but he was able to seek benefits for his sister after death.

The princes and princesses who rested in the imperial garden last night filed in.

After seeing Ann to his father and aunt one by one, the emperor waved at Yin Shengle habitually, and called him to him: "How did you rest last night? Crying and screaming."

Yin Shengle's cheeks were slightly flushed: "Ah Hui is with me, Chen Ping and the others have arranged it very carefully, and I didn't feel any discomfort last night."

The emperor said a few "good" words again and again, then turned around and asked him: "Their brothers and sisters came to the Great Yin with their letters of credence. They were originally thinking of the harmony between the two countries. No one expected that there would be a disaster today." ;Although this mountain prince died in a natural disaster, he died on my land..."

He paused for a long time before slowly opening his mouth to say again: "It was written in Shangyuan in the national book, the two sides ceased the war, and the mountain people, as surrenders, sent the prince and daughter to Yin for marriage. Xiao Qi, you are the most noble among the princes." , if you can accept the princess as a side concubine, it can be regarded as suitable for both sides."

According to the emperor's thinking, asking his son to marry Shuiyue as his concubine is indeed quite appropriate.

If I can't produce a more suitable heir in the future, then the future emperor can continue to appease the mountain people if he has a concubine born as a princess of the mountain people; but if he lives longer in the future and has a more suitable heir, then after Xiao Qi There is a merchant and a mountain man who helps, and the new emperor can also ask the new emperor to treat him with respect and not make him feel wronged.

However, his kind proposal was a hot potato in Yin Shengle's eyes, and when the emperor's words fell, Yin Shengle immediately objected: "No!"

The emperor did not hide what he said to Yin Shengle, and everyone who was close to him heard it.

The fourth prince couldn't hide his jealousy, he lowered his head and stared at the stone slab on the road, his hands clenched into fists; the second prince frowned, sighed softly, and then shrank back to minimize his sense of presence .

Shuiyue's complexion instantly turned pale when she heard the emperor's words, and she couldn't help but relax a little after hearing Yin Shengle's objection, but she still didn't have much expectation for her marriage, which could only be manipulated by others.

"Why?" The emperor didn't get angry, but asked in puzzlement.

Yin Shengle said without even thinking about it: "I don't like the princess, why do you want to accept her as a side concubine?"

"You still have a childish temper." The emperor shook his head, "How many couples are out of love? You just need to open your mind and understand the relationship between a man and a woman, and then you will know."

"But the side concubine is not a wife."

Yin Shengle was a little annoyed that his father said he was not enlightened, but he couldn't tell the emperor directly, your elder brother knows how to seduce people in bed, how can it be regarded as not enlightened?

However, even though the atmosphere of the Yin Dynasty is very enlightened, such things as same-sex love are still not regarded as the right way after all, and cannot be easily brought up on the table.

"People have let go of their children from thousands of miles away, with the idea of ​​becoming in-laws, but concubines, concubines, etc., how can they be regarded as serious in-laws?" Yin Shengle persuaded a few words in a very serious way, which made people sigh with emotion. Before the prince could be so steady, he changed his tone, "Besides, I have never liked such little girl movies. Father, if you want to give me side, at least find someone who suits me, right?"

He laughed and said, regaining some of the unscrupulous style of the little devil king: "Daddy, do you think what your son said makes sense?"

Whether externally or internally, the father-son relationship between Yin Shengle and the emperor has always been very close. Almost everyone in the inner palace of the previous dynasty believed that Yin Shengle was the emperor's favorite and most promising heir.

But as he got older, Yin Shengle also gradually realized that he may still be his father's favorite child, but the fact that he is the most promising heir...is not so reliable.

Out of a sense of insecurity about his own situation, he subconsciously tried his best to show his closeness to his father in front of everyone. Fortunately, the emperor had long been used to doting on his own son. Facing Yin Shengle's rejection, he felt not only He was not angry, but felt that it was the child's proper reaction.

I couldn't help sighing again: If this child didn't have the heat that explodes from time to time, if he wasn't born by the queen...that would be fine.

"All right, all right, you have a lot of reason." The emperor smiled, and stopped mentioning the matter of pointing Shuiyue to Yin Shengle.

Yin Shengle glanced at the weak and pitiful Shuiyue again, and took advantage of the situation to add: "Father, if you want to be a matchmaker, you might as well ask the princess what she wants. She is far away from her hometown and has no brother. She is so lonely. Pitiful."

As long as the princess stops thinking about it and says she wants to marry her, then Yin Shengle won't care which family this flower from the southwestern mountains falls into.

After dispelling his father's idea of ​​messing around with mandarin ducks, Yin Shengle triumphantly cast a look at Shen Hui: I only like you, other people don't like it!

Shen Hui didn't see His Royal Highness speak, but inexplicably read the meaning from his short eyes. In addition to being helpless, he also felt a little warmth in his heart.

But... still shouldn't.

He squinted his eyebrows, pretending that he was just a wooden puppet standing behind His Highness carelessly, so that such strange emotions would not be possible any further.

Half a day later, after it was confirmed that there were no aftershocks, Shuinong's body was moved into a yard next to the Huitong Hall.

Shuiyue betrayed her pity to Empress Shang on the grounds that she was frightened, and was taken to Qihuang Palace by the latter to rest temporarily.

Although there was Yin Shengle's casual suggestion, the emperor obviously would not personally ask Shuiyue about her own marriage. Empress Shang wanted to ask a few questions, but it was an earthquake and a draft, and all the miscellaneous things After they were piled up together, they could only take the time to comfort Shuiyue for a while, and then went back to busy with palace affairs.

In the Phoenix Palace.

Shuiyue's tense mood relaxed a little, she excused herself to rest, and after dismissing the servants, she took out the little snake hidden in her sleeve.

The whole body of the little snake was pitch black, and it was lying on her hand, looking very listless.

Shuiyue caressed it affectionately: "This Great Yin court is too scary, brother Ahei, don't run around anymore, this time it's that bastard Shui Nong who is protecting us from the disaster, next time, I can I can't find a substitute."

She spoke the dialect of the mountains, and to those who did not understand this dialect, it was just a series of gurgling noises.

At the same time, in Chuxiu Palace.

Liu Manxue also locked herself in the room alone, pacing back and forth, very restless.

"Why hasn't there been any news yet?" Liu Manxue quietly walked to the window every few times, and opened a small gap to look outside.

Repeated this many times, finally, she saw a small piece of paper in the crack of the window, quickly grabbed it in her hand, looked at it quickly, threw it into the charcoal basin and burned it clean.

Liu Manxue stared at the little note that was burnt to ashes, then used the tongs to disperse the ashes, and then opened the door with confidence, and called a little palace maid who was guarding outside, and stuffed her with a purse: "I asked you to inquire about seven Do you have any news about His Highness's whereabouts?"

The little palace maid carefully glanced to both sides, nodded, and leaned forward: "The servants have already inquired clearly..."

The two murmured for a while.

Liu Manxue showed a confident expression, raised her chin and boasted: "You are effective in your work. In the future, Miss Ben... will ask you to go out of Chuxiu Palace. If you keep being so obedient, there will be more people in the future." Good prospects."

The little palace maid was also full of excitement, she repeatedly expressed her loyalty, Liu Manxue raised her hand in satisfaction, helped the hairpin on her head, left her and walked out quickly.

Seeing her back disappear, the little palace maid put away the flattering look on her face, walked softly through the palace passage, and found a female officer dressed as a nun: "Auntie, she bit the hook."

The female officer nodded: "You have done a good job. Go to Qihuang Palace in the afternoon and look for your sister Lianye."

"Yes." The little maid showed a sincere smile and left excitedly.

Everyone is busy with Gong Dou, only Lele is worrying about how to prove to A Hui that she is old enough to drive with him(.)
