"Okay, don't worry, Li Youmo is definitely a good husband-in-law. If your cousin can marry Li Youmo, she will be able to enjoy happiness and escape from the Queen Mother's calculations. How can there be any mistake in choosing a person who is so knowledgeable as your grandmother? Tong'er really Don't worry about anything." Seeing her eyes wandering around, looking smart but confused, Feng Juoran smiled, stretched out his arms to hold her up to him, kissed her temples, and said softly.

"Isn't your father..." Looking at his handsome and gentle face, Mo Xuetong relaxed inexplicably, and the words couldn't help but blurted out. Before he could finish speaking, he covered his mouth tightly, and his long eyelashes flashed. , lying obediently on his chest without saying a word. Although some things were well understood, they were clearly unpleasant.

Sure enough, the room suddenly became cold. Feng Juoran was speechless for a moment, closed his eyes and said nothing quietly.

Mo Xuetong was a little annoyed with herself. She knew it was inconvenient to talk about this matter, so why did she bring it up! But when he ignored her so much, she was a little embarrassed, and she felt a little uncomfortable lying on his chest. Should she stand up and walk now, or continue to lie down? The way he closed his eyes coldly made people feel cold. Chilling to the core.

It was as if his warm smile just now was in vain.

But getting up right now seemed a little...

"My mother was killed." After a long time, Feng Juoran opened her eyes, her long eyelashes flashed, and she said calmly.

Wasn't it rumored that he died of illness? But Mo Xuetong didn't ask. Some of the rumors were true. Concubine Xian died of illness while she was in her favor. She was around 20 at the time. How could she suddenly die, leaving a young prince in the palace? , the meaning here is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in just a few words.

How could a woman with no power and no family background survive, being favored by the emperor, giving birth to a lovely child named Yuxue, and being hated by the entire harem? The emperor cherished her the most and did not She might be guarded twelve hours a day. There are many ways to kill someone in this palace, which ordinary people can understand.

That's why he almost died at a young age and had to leave the palace. A prince has been outside for so many years before he can return to the palace. The bitterness and misery in it are not much less than his own rebirth. Maybe he is a man and he doesn't know some words. He said, but she understood, and she felt sorry for him.

The white jade-like hand stretched out, touched his handsome face, and said distressedly: "We will avenge our mother and concubine in the future."

After saying that, his eyes dimmed, and he inexplicably thought of the meaning of his words. He was stunned for a moment, bit his lip, and felt his heartbeat speeding up. He held his breath and asked, "You, what do you think?"

Although she had long thought that he was not simple, she did not expect that although he did not have the support of his mother's family, he had the support of the emperor. From the first time they met, he behaved in a romantic and arrogant manner in front of others. No one would have thought that, The emperor's favorite turned out to be Prince Xuan, who seemed the least likely to succeed to the throne.

Then some things make sense. He was obviously not seriously injured, but he still pretended to be seriously ill and stayed at home. On the first day of the wedding, the words he said while serving tea seemed to be reprimanding him and asking him to stop doing his job. , do some serious things, and let him listen to politics, all of which are to provide support for him.

Prince Xuan, who looks spoiled by the emperor on the outside, and the emperor has made it clear that he wants to be pampered. It seems that the more the emperor favors him, the more he means that he has no future, and the hopeless Feng Juoran is actually Emperor Zongwen's favorite. Man, if this news is spread, those people will definitely join forces to deal with him, and Mo Xue's eyes can't help but feel more nervous.

"Father is not in good health, and he doesn't give me much time." Feng Jueran's voice was like the gentle breeze blowing outside the window. It was light and traceless, but it also revealed tranquility and peace, which made her feel overwhelmed. There was some respite.

But then he was shocked by another wave of shock!

The emperor is not in good health? How could it be? His face was red that day, and he looked like he was in his prime.

His breathing became rapid. If Emperor Zongwen is really in poor health and has not yet decided on a crown prince, the Qin Kingdom will be in chaos. The Queen Mother, Queen, and Princess Su each have their supporters, and several major military powers are in the hands of different people. The military strength is about the same, and looking at other strengths, there is no doubt that Feng Jueran does not have the advantage.

If the emperor's poor health were revealed, the whole situation would be even more chaotic and dangerous. How could he say it to himself so frankly and boldly, as if he was just talking about an ordinary thing, not a national secret? How could he be so An understatement.

Mo Xuetong didn't know how to respond to him, or any response at this time was redundant. She just leaned against him quietly, feeling the strength of his heartbeat. Listening to his powerful heartbeat, her panicked heart actually calmed down a little. I calmed down and silently told myself that there was no need to be nervous. With him here, the two of us would walk hand in hand and everything would be fine.

Perhaps sensing her silence, Feng Juoran lowered his head, took a long breath, kissed her forehead and eyes, and asked: "Tong'er, are you willing to go through this with me? After all, I am a little lonely on this road." Too much! Only by walking with my most beloved woman can I feel at ease."

After saying that, he hugged her closer, letting her pink face press against his, and the corners of her lips curved slightly into a faint smile.

Mo Xuetong turned her face to his, and when she looked sideways, she could only see his long, slightly curved eyelashes. With just one glance, she could not help but hug his broad shoulders and said firmly: " I will go on with you, even if we die together."

No matter how hard it is, no matter how bloody it is, she will accompany him, just because she has him in her heart, and because he can tell such a big thing to her, a woman in a house, without hesitation. listen.

She believed that he could do a good job. No matter what, he wanted to become the empress, so she could only follow him. Since the emperor belonged to him, he would definitely leave some options for him.

In an instant, she suddenly understood what the emperor meant. Her uncle's marriage to the Minister of War was to gain support from the military for him, and his participation in political affairs was to help him slowly get rid of his previous romantic reputation and truly become a The royal prince, at this time and at that time, that romantic reputation could help him become independent from the heir apparent.

At this time, it has no effect at all!

Then he will be even busier next time...

The wind blew in, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers. The two people on the bed had been lying silently, holding their hands and sleeping with their necks crossed, like a pair of mandarin ducks...

In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother's illness was almost healed. Accompanying her were Princess Xianjun, Concubine Yu, and Mrs. Marquis Mingyang.

Concubine Jade had just been released from the cold palace. In that kind of place, the food and supplies were definitely not comparable to those outside, so her face looked a little haggard, her belly was not pregnant yet, but she was full of energy. Several palace maids shouted in front of her and hugged each other, fearing that she would be uncomfortable, so they did not dare to leave anyone behind or in front of her.

"You have to take good care of your belly. How can you covet an heir for the emperor if you are in such poor health?" The Queen Mother said with concern. The beads in her hand turned slowly, with a kind look, and she looked at the Jade Concubine's belly with a smile. , and someone brought a mat over.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, I was a little injured when I was in the cold palace, but I am much better these days." Concubine Yu said with a shy smile, her face becoming more and more charming.

"Your Majesty, you are really in good spirits. Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't be long before you can hold your grandson again." Mrs. Mingyang Hou came over and joked. She looked at Concubine Jade's belly, which was not showing her pregnancy, and smiled. road.

"No, don't worry, Queen Mother. Queen Jade looks like a boy. We haven't had a prince in the court for a long time. This is a great event." Princess Xianjun congratulated her heartily.

The Queen Mother's face darkened when she said this, and she sighed with a bit of depression: "How can the Ai family rest assured? Since Concubine Xian gave birth to Queen Xuan, in the past ten years or so, no prince has been born in the harem, and the Ai family has not yet given birth to a prince. I thought that the emperor had only three children, but I didn’t expect that Concubine Jade was pregnant again at this time, what a blessing from heaven!”

Seeing the Empress Dowager frowning slightly, Princess Xianjun tried to persuade her: "You, don't worry so much. The Empress Dowager herself said that the Emperor already has three heirs. It doesn't matter if you have one more or one less. No." It’s less.”

To be honest, Emperor Zongwen has three adult sons. Even if the child born in Concubine Yu's belly is a prince, so what, he will not let the three adult princes not inherit the throne, or treat the youngest as a prince. , it’s just something that everyone knows, but some people don’t think so.

A hint of darkness flashed across the eyes of Concubine Yu, who was sitting on the side, and then concealed in a gentle smile.

"Even if you don't worry about this, there is also that. Zhen'er is back, but he is so old and doesn't even have a princess. It's really worrying. He is older than King Xuan and King Yan. This princess has no one. I help pick it out, but Aijia still has to make the decision." The Queen Mother sighed.

This was really hard to answer. Did the Queen Mother blame the Emperor for not choosing a concubine for Prince Ning, or was she just saying that? Although Princess Xianjun was straightforward, she also knew that she couldn't answer this question, so she had to smile and pretend not to understand the Queen Mother's words. meaning.

"When King Ning was young, he was good-looking. The Queen Mother must choose someone gentle, gentle and polite. You don't have to care too much about his family background. With the Queen Mother here, no one can bully him." Concubine Yu continued. He laughed after passing the topic.

"Having said that, the Ai family is ill and I really can't find anyone for the moment. Please help recommend a few so that the Ai family can choose." The Queen Mother put down the beads, picked up the tea and took a sip. She smiled as if she was just an ordinary old lady worried about her grandson's marriage.

"Queen Mother, don't choose. My concubine will recommend one to you. You can keep it and agree to it." Mrs. Mingyang Hou covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile. She squinted her eyes to show the princess, with a face full of teasing. Princess Xianjun's eyes darkened a bit.

"Tell me about it." The Queen Mother became interested.

"Princess Xianjun has a niece from her natal family. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also quiet, elegant, and very generous. She is only fifteen years old. She is just like a flower-like concubine. If she can marry Prince Ning, I will look like this. , Queen Mother, you can just worry about it." Madam Mingyang said.

Princess Xianjun, who was sitting next to her, had a flash of anger in her eyes, but then she got ahead of the Queen Mother and refused with a smile.

"The Queen Mother, although my niece has always been with me, her family background is not very good in all aspects. Her father is just a small official. I am afraid that it will bring shame to His Highness Prince Ning. She is really not worthy of the high and mighty Prince Ning. " Princess Xianjun declined uneasily. She didn't have a daughter herself, and the niece was raised by her. She always cared for her as a daughter. Whatever her son had, he would definitely leave a share for her. It's true that he came to Beijing these days. It's for her marriage.

But the situation inside the palace is unclear now. How could she marry her niece into the palace.

Besides, the meaning here is not just marriage.

"Princess, please don't be polite. Your niece is one of the best in looks and has the best temperament. If she can marry Prince Ning, it will be a really good marriage. From now on, your natal daughter will But you are really rich. Two princesses from one family are the envy of others." Mrs. Mingyang Hou said with a smile.

Seeing Mrs. Mingyang Hou mentioning her niece again and again, Princess Xianjun flashed a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but her face remained unchanged. She smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning's brilliance is the best among all." First, my niece, who comes from a small family, is really not worthy of being on the stage. Besides, although I am her aunt, I cannot make the decision for her parents. The marriage of this daughter’s family has to be decided by her parents. If my brother and sister-in-law want it, It may be half a year before we enter the capital, and it would be really not good to worry about His Highness Prince Ning's marriage."

Can we get engaged after half a year? The Queen Mother's face couldn't help but look down. It had been too long. She originally wanted to build a relationship with Princess Xianjun, but she didn't expect that Princess Xianjun still didn't know how to express herself. Although she was still smiling, her expression was not good. : "Let's discuss this later. The Ai family is tired now, so I won't leave you alone!"

"Don't disturb the Queen Mother!" The three people saw the Queen Mother closing her eyes with tiredness on her face. Knowing that she wanted to rest, they all stood up and said goodbye! (To be continued)
