After several consecutive autumn rains, the sun is still bright after the rain, but the wind has cooled down, especially at night, and it penetrates along the bones, making people very stiff all day long.

The Empress Dowager did not sleep well the first night and was lying in the palace to catch up on sleep.

Hearing someone whispering outside, he asked, "What's the matter?"

It turned out that it was Li Zhilian who handed over the sign, saying that he had something to see the Queen Mother.The queen mother was tired, but she still invited him into the palace.

When Li Zhilian saw the queen mother, he kowtowed and hurriedly began to speak: "Mother queen mother, do you know that the eldest grandson of the emperor..."

"Speak carefully!" The queen mother lazily got up.A nanny stepped forward to remove the thin blanket on the empress dowager's lap, and a little maid stepped forward to hold the empress dowager's hand.

Passing through the bead curtain and walking in front of people, the Empress Dowager looked down at Li Zhilian.Her first and deepest impression of this brother was that of a young man with a warm smile.When talking about school, I would frown, but every time I went out, I would always buy her candy, golden silk candy, sesame candy, caramel... small oiled paper bags, conjured from my brother's sleeve.There are also strange and weird stories, about the prince and grandson, the red-faced knight.The younger brother at that time was really the most capable and happy person in the world.Now this younger brother—the queen mother curled her lips, licked her neck and touched her hair. This morning, she changed to a different comber, and her hair was combed a little tighter—the younger brother is still the same younger brother, but when he grows up, everything can't be done. I can't even keep a minimum of decency.At any rate, he is a second-rank Dayuan in the imperial court, judging by his appearance at this time, alas.The Queen Mother sighed slightly,

"Get up and talk." The Empress Dowager sat down, and a maid brought a cup of tea.The Empress Dowager picked it up and took a sip - this is the regimen given by Dr. Huang. Dr. Huang's grandfather is [-] years old. The old man is like this every day. He always drinks water for a long time before swallowing carefully.

Li Zhilian stood up, bowed again and said, "Thank you Queen Mother for sitting down." After speaking, he sat down and looked around.

The Empress Dowager looked at him and waved her hand.Everyone stood far away, only Aunt Min Xing who was brought from Li's house stood aside and waited on her.

"Empress Dowager, I'm discussing matters with the Emperor in the Qianyuan Hall today, during which the eldest grandson of the Emperor went over."

The queen mother frowned, and winked at Li Zhilian to signal him to say it again.

"I met you today—the emperor, the chief, the grandson, the palace, and your lord." Li Zhilian paused every word.

The Empress Dowager suddenly choked up, coughed and asked, "What did you say? Who?"

Li Zhilian clicked his tongue. "This Xiliu kid is thin and dark. He looks very much like Gu Feng. He is a bit more energetic than Uncle Lu Shen back then. He looks like he has just practiced martial arts. He is sweating all over. The emperor doesn't dislike him. I'm happy." Li Zhilian said while gesticulating. "We were discussing matters, and Song Lian brought people in. The emperor also said, 'Come on, be on the lap of the emperor's grandfather, and get close to the emperor'."

The queen mother managed to stop her cough, and after rinsing her mouth, she half-closed her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Gu Feng...you mean, the boss of the Gu family gave birth to a son for the second child, and the emperor recognized it? ?”

"That's right! It's really insulting, disregarding etiquette..."

"Shut up."

Li Zhilian immediately stopped talking.

After a while, the queen mother said: "What else did the emperor say?"

"Everything..." Li Zhilian just wanted to deny it, but suddenly thought, "By the way, the emperor also said, 'You are an older brother, and you have to set an example for your younger brother'."

As Li Zhilian said, his heart was even more turbulent. He raised his head and looked at the queen mother, who smiled half-smile: "Yes, yes, the emperor is telling me this."

Seeing Li Zhilian's stupid appearance, the queen mother was even more annoyed.If my mother's family is more powerful, even if they just don't hold back, how can they make their successors jump like this!Judging by the height of Li Zhilian's gestures, that child must be five or six...seven or eight years old. The Empress Dowager has never raised a child herself. What does it mean that a newborn can still practice martial arts and practice martial arts in the palace?It means that the emperor has recognized this child for a long time, but he has been suppressing it so that no one will know.Now this child has become an elder brother...hehe...elder brother, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

His Highness the eldest grandson.The queen mother laughed lightly, then coughed a few more times in shock.

She would never think that the emperor just found out about this child. After all, with the suspicious nature of the emperor's disapproval, if the second prince dared to hide such a big matter from him, the second prince would not be the favored person he is now.

But since it has been covered for many years, why is it only at this time that people see it, and let Li Zhilian see it?What exactly does this emperor mean?

More than one child, the grandson of the emperor, was raised in hiding...

"Tell me something new in recent days. I have vaguely heard about it, what happened to Prince Jinghou and Prince Fu'an?"

Li Zhilian was stunned for a moment, and told everything he knew about it.From the situation at that time to the current rumors, as well as the subsequent attitude have been said.Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not speak, he also fell silent, and said after a while: "Sister, the second prince already has an heir, the third prince has to hold on tight..."

"Confused! You are confused!" The queen mother stretched out a finger, wishing to poke his stubborn brain. "Where do you think this is! This is the imperial palace! You are talking about the royal bloodline! Ordinary families have to divide into concubines, and those concubines are even in the same rank, let alone the Tian family!"

"That's it, sister," Li Zhilian suddenly seemed to think of something, "Sister, think about it, the second prince is not married yet, no matter how old this child is, his background is unknown, in the future..."

"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager covered her head and beat the table under her hands desperately. With a soft click, a jade bracelet in her hand broke in two.Aunt Minxing hurried forward and took out a handkerchief to wrap up the broken bracelet. The Queen Mother took one last look at the bracelet and waved her hand as if chasing flies away.Aunt Minxing resigned.

"Sister, let me find an excerpt from the censor. The second prince is not self-cultivating, and Gu Feng is disturbing the blood of the royal family..." Li Zhilian saw that Aunt Minxing had left, and hurriedly came up and whispered.

"Shut up!! I knew you were stupid before, but I never knew you were this stupid!" The Queen Mother was so angry that it took a long time for her to recover. "It's not your fault. Bloodline identity is still a matter of the inner house. In the past, mothers did it, and later there were Cui and Xiao Cui." The queen mother looked up at the door, the sky was just right, but the wind blowing in A little bit of coolness.There was no trace of popularity in the garden, but she knew that even if she stood outside, she would not be able to see outside.Such a high palace wall, surrounded by a palm-sized square sky, is her world.Since entering the palace at the age of 13, she has only been out a few times, each time surrounded by so many people, one after another canopy above her head, where the sky can't be seen.Maybe it's because I'm old, I've been feeling unwell these days, and my heart is always blocked.

"Who do you think you are talking about?" The Queen Mother said quietly, "What did the second prince do, what did Gu Feng do, whether they are self-cultivating or not, whether this child is of royal blood, is it up to you to say these things? What are you!"

"Sister! Why do you say that about me?" Li Zhilian was suddenly annoyed.

"Who else said that?"

Li Zhilian then talked about the conversation with Fan Chengliang at the gate of the palace.

The queen mother listened, and did not speak for a long time.I closed my eyes and thought about it slowly, and after a while, I said: "The emperor's move is probably because of the identities of the emperor's grandsons. This matter has to be learned from these two unseemly princes. Let's do it."

"Sister, what do you mean?"

The queen mother did not speak, and thought of many things in her heart.

A few days ago, Lin Nan lost his Sacred Heart inexplicably. Although his official position and salary remained the same, the emperor no longer relied on him.The queen mother thought that the emperor seemed to have noticed something.The defeat in Cangzhou this time seems to be that the second prince is purging Cangzhou, targeting the direct line of the Zheng family. In fact, many officials belong to the Li family's faction.Although it can't be regarded as hurting muscles and bones, it always makes people feel uneasy.The queen mother asked Concubine Li to tell the third prince not to do anything out of the ordinary.But it's not a problem to keep shrinking all the time, and now I urgently need something to show my favor to the emperor, and it just so happens that I have it.When I fell asleep, someone would hand me a pillow—can this pillow be picked up?

Not long ago, Mrs. Zheng tossed about "The Analects of Confucius", which made the emperor very angry. The seventh prince was forced by his mother to hang around in front of the emperor every day, and the emperor reprimanded him a few words.now

The Zheng family still didn't stop, and they grabbed the matter of Jingyang Hou Shizi and Fu'an Hou Shizi again.It's not a big deal at all, and it's fine to put them in the ancestral hall of an ordinary family and kill them, but it happens that these two are only sons—only sons?

The queen mother sat up suddenly, and Li Zhilian quickly sat upright and waited for the queen mother to speak.

"How many children are there in the Gu family?"

"what?"

"How many children does Gu Shi have, and how many concubines are born?"

"Two... two, neither of them can be regarded as descendants."

"After all these years, just those two? Born by a man?"

"Yes."

"How many years has Cheng An been married?"

"Five years."

"Nothing for five years?"

"Ancestral rules... will be outside... um... family members are in, in Beijing." Seeing that the Empress Dowager's expression was really bad, Li Zhilian whispered more and more.

"Ah, here is the key." The Queen Mother gave a wry smile. "Wait here for me!"

The queen mother gave detailed instructions, and Li Zhilian finally understood what was going on.In official terms, this is to set a measure.

This matter does seem to have no precedent, but there is a ready-made "poster example" - the second prince.Usually, one has to follow precedents in handling cases, but this time one has to think about the precedents first.If the emperor wants to recognize the emperor's grandson, he must not want to be severely punished. For the sake of the emperor's grandson's status, he may still want Gu Feng to be the second prince's concubine.

The second prince is the eldest son of Yuan Di, and Gu Feng is the eldest son of An Guogong.If Gu Feng is really a woman, then it is really a heaven-sent marriage.Having said that, Qianren people also get married, isn't that the case for Gu Cheng.But after Gu Li got married, Gu Feng became the only son of An Guogong.It's not that the only son can't marry, the two elder sons in front of him are both only sons.

Li Zhilian suddenly thought, no wonder Gu Feng walks in front of him, but he has never had an official position, the emperor dared to think about it a long time ago!

Thinking of this, Li Zhilian wanted to understand one more thing. These years, Gu Shi had never asked Gu Feng to be crowned son, and it seemed that Gu Shi also knew about it.

It turned out to be so.In vain he always thought that the second prince would not have the Sacred Heart, so he was really a fool.

Li Zhilian had known about the two princes for a long time, but he was disturbed by the affairs in the Cangzhou officialdom, and he hadn't thought about it at all. What does loving them have to do with him?But now that the queen mother told him, he understood.The salary of eating the king is naturally a matter of loyalty to the king. Since the emperor intends to fulfill a pair of lovers, they want to promote this peerless marriage even if they have no brains.
