Compared to Yuanzhou's troubled sleep and food, Qing Huan lived a much happier life. Except when necessary, she spent all her time with Pei Tianhua, giving him as much tenderness and love as possible. As for why... Probably because he reminded her of her former self.
The same willingness to give, without asking for anything in return, for the person in his heart, willing to smash himself to pieces.
But now that she has walked out of that puzzle, Pei Tianhua is still stuck in it. The female ghost Qiu'an has no love between men and women for Pei Tianhua, so she can't give him happiness, but she doesn't. This is Qing Huan's willfulness and her persistence. She was tired of always living a rigid life, always suppressing and forcing herself for some red tape, her life had already been hard enough, and she really didn't need to continue like this after death.
If she was bullied during her lifetime, and she is still like this after death, what's the point of her staying at Naiheqiao
The emperor didn't say anything about her accepting Pei Tianhua as the emperor's husband, because the emperor himself had done some reckless things when he was young. Now seeing that Qing Huan is a little human besides Leng Su, I feel happy for her. She had previously proposed a marriage for her, but not long after the marriage, the emperor found out that Yuan Zhou had already had his own heart. At that time, she was full of guilt for the eldest daughter. Now seeing that she can regain her strength, let alone accepting a side-emperor husband, Even if Qing Huan told her that the one she liked was actually a woman, the emperor would tolerate it!
On this day, the emperor proposed to establish a crown prince at the Golden Luan Hall. In all fairness, there are currently seven imperial daughters who are qualified to compete for the heir apparent, but among these seven imperial daughters, if you really want to say who is the best, who is the most suitable, and who receives the most support—it is still Qing Huan. She has been fighting with the army since she was a child, and has made countless military exploits over the years. She is upright and upright, and has a high prestige and voice among the officials and the people. Although her father and queen passed away early, her identity as the eldest daughter is beyond doubt.
The second is the four imperial daughters born by the current empress. Although their political achievements are mediocre, they are superior in their noble backgrounds and the support of powerful families.
In the end, it turned out to be a dark horse whose biological father was the third emperor's daughter of a little palace official. Although this person came from a low background and was not valued by the emperor, he was famous all over the world for his talent. He is very polite and humble in dealing with others, so there are quite a few people in the court who support the three emperors.
There is no doubt that the final crown prince will be chosen among these three.
In fact, the most suitable candidate in the emperor's mind is Qing Huan. This child was born to the man she loved the most in this life. She was smart and smart since she was a child, and she made great contributions to Zhuan Xu. Although he is a little cold and rigorous, as an emperor, this is not a bad thing. The fourth princess herself has no interest in being an emperor. The child has a very detached personality and always yearns for the lives of ordinary people. Even with the support of the family, she is not suitable to be an emperor. As for the third princess... Although the emperor didn't hate her, he didn't like her at all. Every time he saw Pei Shunan, the emperor would think of how Pei Qiu'an's father and queen passed away.
At that time, she swore to her beloved man that she would only dote on him in the future and would never touch other men in the slightest. But not long after, he got drunk and pampered a palace official—that is, the biological father of the third princess. Pei Qiu'an's empress father was already weak, and after being hit by this, she couldn't afford to fall ill, and she passed away in a short time.
So after so many years, the emperor can never forget. Even if she never saw Pei Shunan's father again, as soon as she saw Pei Shunan, she would immediately remember the wrong things she did many years ago. That man had passed away for a long time, and she never kept her promise to him. If the throne cannot be passed on to their daughter, the emperor will really have no face to see him after death.
Therefore, there is almost no doubt that after the emperor summoned several important officials to discuss the matter of the crown prince, he read out the imperial edict in the morning court three days later, appointing the eldest princess Pei Qiu'an as the crown prince.
After the court, Qing Huan was the last to leave. The emperor summoned her to the imperial study room, encouraged her, and said to her: "If you don't like the emperor's husband, the emperor mother will point out another day for you. The family marriage is guaranteed to be better than the Yuan family's."
Behind Qing Huan was Pei Tianhua who was the bodyguard, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and saw that his face was still expressionless, but the hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist. The child must have felt uncomfortable again, but he has always held back and refused to speak out. Thinking of this, Qing Huan smiled slightly, and suddenly knelt down in front of the emperor.
Pei Tianhua has no sense of security, he is even ready to be abandoned by her at any time. Then, she doesn't mind reassuring him: "Emperor Mother, I don't want to marry you, I just want the Emperor's grace."
"You child... what grace do you want?" The emperor was a little surprised. You know, after all these years, Qing Huan has never asked her for anything. It can be seen that Qing Huan's face is serious, and she can't help but get serious, thinking that it must be a big deal to make this mature and steady eldest daughter look so serious.
But Qing Huan's next words made her dumbfounded: "I want to beg my mother, and I promise that I will only have one husband in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Tianhua suddenly raised his head, showing a look of horror.
The emperor shook his head and refused without even thinking about it: "I don't agree! If you become emperor in the future, the Sangong and Liuyuan are the rules passed down from your ancestors. If you really have someone you really like, then make him a noble concubine That's it. If you have a noble status, it's fine to be a queen. But if there is only one person, it is absolutely impossible!"
More than impossible! The world is so big, which woman does not have three husbands and four attendants? Even a poor family wants to marry a few more husbands. She is an imperial daughter and a prince, but she thinks that she only needs one husband in the future? "I have the right to make your foolish remarks on this matter, and you are not allowed to mention it again in the future."
"Emperor Mother." Qing Huan's expression was indifferent but firm. The expression, the eyes, and even the curvature of the corner of the mouth made the emperor's heart tremble. "What my father didn't get, I want my beloved to get it. I don't want to do things that will make my father sad. I just want to have only one person in this life."
The emperor stared at Qing Huan's face obsessively, as if he wanted to find the shadow of someone who had long passed away from her face. Her lips trembled slightly: "You, you are blaming me... blaming me for giving your father and queen the promise of being a couple forever, but failing to keep it? So, you want to use this to revenge me?"
"I've never thought about it that way." Qing Huan said seriously, even the female ghost Qiu'an had never hated the emperor. "Fatality tricks people, isn't the Queen Mother also wanting to do it? But you are the emperor, and you are destined to not have only one father and queen. There are countless beautiful men in the harem. If the Queen Mother only favors the Queen Father, but turns a blind eye to other concubines, Isn't it a kind of cruelty? But I don't want to do that, if I disobey the emperor, the harem only wishes for one person to exist."
"you… "
"I beg the emperor to complete my son." Seeing the emperor's expression loosen, Qing Huan suddenly knelt down.
The emperor quickly helped her up, staring at her with some helplessness in his eyes: "You child... really like the young master of the Yuan family so much? His heart is not on you at all, why do you have to do it for him..."
"It's not him." Qing Huan interrupted the emperor, turned around and pulled Pei Tianhua who was standing respectfully behind him: "It's him."
"..." The emperor was dumbfounded. She always thought that her daughter's acceptance of this concubine was to stimulate Yuanzhou, and what's more, she just transferred her request for Yuanzhou to Pei Tianhua. Why, how... this... this How long did it take before the child changed sex? ! "You, haven't you always liked Yuanzhou?!"
"That's just my obsession with his appearance and talent, what my son likes is not his soul." Qing Huan smiled slightly, staring tenderly at Pei Tianhua's glowing red face. "When I was far away from Yuanzhou, Erchen had many beautiful fantasies about him, so I liked him. But after marrying him, I knew that the other party's heart was not with me at all, and I didn't want to be Erchen's husband. Not to mention, he is a troublesome man, and my ministers cannot fall in love with him."
She said a lot, but the emperor only noticed that sentence, "What does this mean?"
So Qing Huan told those things one by one. Hearing this, the emperor was furious, and he slapped his palm on the desk, saying: "How unreasonable!"
"Mother, calm down." Qing Huan quickly knelt down, and even knelt down with Pei Tianhua. "Please don't say anything about this matter."
How could the emperor hold back his breath. She herself didn't like Pei Shunan's biological father, but now that she heard that Pei Shunan had robbed Qing Huan's husband - or after Yuanzhou was already a legitimate emperor's husband, her heart felt like being roasted on a fire, tormented furious. "Keep quiet? Keep quiet, wouldn't it be cheaper for them?! I, I, I—"
Seeing that the emperor was very angry, Qing Huan got up, supported the emperor to sit on the dragon chair, turned around and pulled Pei Tianhua up who was still kneeling on the ground, and said to the emperor: "I have evidence here, and I will order people to It's delivered."
Qing Huan has always been very accurate in judging people. First, she took advantage of the emperor's love for her, and second, she focused on the matter of Pei Shunan bewitching Yuanzhou to steal the formation map. The emperor has been sitting on this dragon chair for decades, what is the most important thing? is the whole country. And whether Pei Shunan is arrogant and domineering, or having an affair with the emperor's husband, it is not as serious as the crime of "collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country".
As for the evidence, it was true. It seemed that Pei Shunan's good days were coming to an end. These days, that guy was always looking at her strangely. Qing Huan sometimes had to think about whether to deal with her in advance. After all, it is really unsightly to have such an eyesore stone blocking her way to the throne.
The emperor seemed to have aged a lot suddenly, he waved his hand and said, "You go back first, I, I have to think about it carefully." Think about how to deal with this daring daughter.
