Prince Regent's Concubine

Going down the mountain was more difficult than going up. If it wasn't for some emotion, Ling Qingshi really wanted to push His Royal Highness the Prince Regent down from the top of the mountain with a palm, and let him roll down the steps to the bottom by himself.

Xiao Chuyi lay on Ling Qingshi's back and felt his resentment. It was rare for the regent to feel a little guilty, and he didn't dare to speak up all the way.

When they sat in the carriage again, he and Ling Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and finally got off.

Ling Qingshi immediately warned, "If someone dares to ask you to meet in this kind of place next time, tell him to be careful." Ling Qingshi said with a cold face that he was not joking, and whoever dared to break his leg .

Xiao Chuyi nodded, "I listen to the princess, there will be no next time."

The dark pair who was driving outside had a little more admiration for the princess. From now on, he would rather make the prince angry than provoke the princess.

The carriage walked for an hour and returned to the city. The street was still bustling. There were as many sedan chairs and carriages coming and going as when they left the city in the morning. They were all heading home from the imperial palace. People were inside, so they couldn’t see their expressions, and they didn’t know there were any. He didn't persuade the emperor to let him change his mind, but today's scene gave the common people more things to talk about after dinner.

On the way of the carriage to the palace, Ling Qingshi talked to Xiao Chuyi about the announcement, "I don't know how this will end."

The emperor promises a thousand pieces of gold, and there is no joke, the announcement has been posted, so there is no possibility of changing it.But there are too many relatives of the emperor in Beijing, and there is a queen mother behind him who can step in at any time. The little emperor is also under great pressure. It is hard to say whether he can withstand it.

Xiao Chuyi said: "It's easy to end, but it's also easy to establish power. It depends on whether the emperor needs the help of these relatives."

Ling Qingshi thought so too, if these people were really brave enough to force the little emperor to change the imperial decree, the little emperor would just hand them the jade seal and let them be the emperor himself and marry as many cousins ​​as he wanted.

Taking over the jade seal is an act of treason and usurpation. Of course, no one dares to touch this jade seal.

In this way, these people are suppressed, but at the same time they are all offended, and if they turn around, they will seek refuge with the Queen Mother who is on the same boat as them. It is more important and more useful. After such a calculation, the Queen Mother became the one who benefited from the fisherman.

Ling Qingshi told Xiao Chuyi what he thought, and he said: "Maybe the Queen Mother has already counted, and she is just laughing right now."

"Maybe," Xiao Chuyi said two words, "but don't worry too much, as long as the Queen Mother is not a legitimate emperor, no matter how capable she is, she will not be able to control the entire government. Although there are many families who want to send their daughters to the palace to seek wealth , but most of them are incapable. Those who really love their daughters don’t need the emperor’s grace to honor the family. They have never avoided choosing a concubine, and such people are the real ministers of the humerus.”

There are pros and cons to this matter. At the beginning, Ling Qingshi casually said that marriage of close relatives is harmful, but it took time and effort for Xiao Chuyi to convince the emperor. In addition to letting his subordinates collect and sort out the information, he also analyzed the reason for doing so with the emperor. Pros and cons, and then there is a later announcement.

The game of power can never be generalized, Ling Qingshi saw Xiao Chuyi's confident appearance, so he was not worried.

However, it seemed that there was nothing to worry about. The prince of his family had been strategizing for many years, and he was never an ordinary person to be able to hold power in one hand.

The carriage gradually returned to the gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion. The coachman had just stopped his horse when he saw Uncle Wu rushing over. Ling Qingshi got out of the carriage, and Uncle Wu saluted him, "Princess, a distinguished guest is here."

Called a distinguished guest by the people in the Regent's Palace, Ling Qingshi thought for a while and pointed at the sky, Uncle Wu understood, nodded, "Exactly." Put it in the bag

"I came in the second half of the day. I heard that the prince and princess have not left the mansion since they went out of the city to offer incense. To wait for the prince and you to come back, I invited Miss Lin to entertain me."

Except for the prince Xiao Chuyi and the princess Ling Qingshi, there are no other serious masters in this palace. Uncle Wu had no choice but to invite Lin Yu. Among other things, she is the mother-in-law of the princess regent. Li is already the most honorable person besides the two masters. poi

As soon as he heard that his mother was entertaining people, Ling Qingshi was afraid of scaring them to death, so he raised his foot and wanted to go to the gate, but before taking two steps, he remembered that Xiao Chuyi was still in the carriage, so he couldn't help but leave him like this suitable.

When he turned his head, Xiao Chuyi happened to be hugged by An Yi from the car, Xiao Chuyi also heard the conversation between him and Uncle Wu, and he knew who was coming, seeing Ling Qingshi's movement of taking steps, Xiao Chuyi nodded, "Go."

Ling Qingshi said: "Then, come later, my lord, I'll go in and have a look first." After speaking, he stepped into the gate of the palace without turning his head.

Today, Xiao Chuyi saw clearly the importance of himself in the heart of the princess, and felt heartbroken.

He stretched out his hand to cover his chest, sighed, and attracted An Yi's worried gaze, "My lord, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xiao Chuyi shook his head, "It's okay, it's just a bit blocked, let me push you in."

An Yi didn't understand why he was a bit stuck, but seeing that the prince didn't seem to be in trouble, he pushed the wheelchair with doubts.

Ahead, Ling Qingshi had already arrived at the reception hall. When he entered, he found that the little emperor was eating the cake made by Lin Yu...

It was not one or two o'clock, and there were two empty plates beside him. There was only one or two yuan left in the plate he was eating. Obviously, he had eaten a lot this afternoon.

The pastry was stuffed in the mouth, and the cheeks bulged, coupled with the immature face that was not fully opened, it was so cute.

Lin Yu sat obliquely below the little emperor, and before Ling Qingshi came in, he was watching the little emperor eating cakes with a smile on his face, which seemed harmonious on the surface.

As long as it didn't scare anyone, Ling Qingshi stepped forward to salute the little emperor, "I have met the emperor, and I respectfully wish the emperor peace."

Ling Qingshi didn't want to kneel, so he didn't kneel to the little emperor. The little emperor, who still had cakes in his mouth, widened his eyes when he saw Ling Qingshi who suddenly appeared, and quickly chewed and swallowed the cakes in his mouth. Let Ling Qingshi exempt from courtesy.

Lin Yu also stood up when he saw Ling Qing, walked up to him in two steps and asked, "You're back, where is your lord, why didn't you come with you, have you eaten outside?"

Without waiting for Ling Qingshi to speak, she immediately yelled out the door, "Baojuan, Baojuan, bring me the two plates of pastries I left for Qing'er and the lord, they are back."

When Lin Yu saw his son, he forgot about the existence of the emperor. He pulled Ling Qing and said to him, "Today, the back kitchen bought some milk, so I tried to make two new cakes, and they tasted good. , when you come up, you can eat and see. Oh, by the way, the emperor also thinks it is delicious, and he has eaten two or three plates."

Lin Yu remembered that the emperor was still there, so she looked at the emperor subconsciously, and then met the emperor's melancholy eyes, as if she was complaining - two or three dishes, can I eat so much?
