On the second day, Sun Liuyan, the grandson of Prince Jin's residence, entered the palace to accompany the king.
That day, after the emperor met Liu Yan, he took him with him and arranged his residence in the outer hall of the emperor's bedroom.
Before Liu Yan entered the palace, the king of Jin gave him a good lesson, telling him not to play around like before. Inside the high walls of the palace, it was different from the palace of the king of Jin, and there was no room for mistakes.
As a descendant of the clan, Liu Yan has entered the palace countless times since he was a child, but this is the first time he has lived in the palace. Can't help but beat drums in my heart. Although he is younger than Ye Chang, Xu Yunchu and the others, he is not a child like Su Chi. He faintly feels the deep meaning behind the emperor's letting him into the palace.
He begged the king of Jin, saying that he didn't want to enter the palace to accompany the king, because he was afraid that he could not do well.
King Jin touched his head and said, "This is the imperial decree of the emperor, you just do what the emperor wants, and the imperial decree cannot be violated."
Seeing that King Jin couldn't make sense, Liu Yan could only beat the drums and entered the palace.
After he entered the palace, the emperor was coming to court in the early morning. Seeing him very kind, like a loving elder, he ordered Koizumi to arrange him for his own use, and then took him to Ci'an Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.
The queen mother heard that the emperor ordered Liu Yan to enter the palace to accompany the king, so she didn't sleep well all night.
In her thinking, she had long believed that the emperor could not count on the crown prince, and Ye Chang should be the most favorite candidate. Although Ye Chang had a reputation as an absurd playboy in the early years, but from this year's point of view, whether it is skill, ability, or courage, he is worthy of this candidate.
Moreover, Ye Chang is now on good terms with Xu Yunchu, and the Xu family accepts his kindness for saving them. As the heir, he will definitely not treat the Xu family badly.
Although Ye Chang is not his grandson, but the queen did not give birth to a child with a handle, and she has no choice but to push whoever is superior? None of those little bean sprouts can make a fortune, so it's better to choose Ye Chang.
Although Ye Chang was born in the clan, in fact, in the huge Rong An Palace, he was the only one who survived to the end alone, and he was destined to be a widow. suitable for this chair. And he and Su Fengnuan have already made a marriage contract by imperial decree. General Su's mansion, Jiangnan Ye family, Wang Dashi's mansion, and Yanbei Su family are all his support. With him, the court and the public will be smooth and there will be no complaints, and she will not object.
But she didn't expect that Ye Chang had a falling out with the emperor, and after King Jin entered the palace to persuade him, the emperor ordered Liu Yan to enter the palace to accompany the king.
The Empress Dowager Liu Yan couldn't tell that he was a bad boy, but he was so well protected by King Jin, and he was still a child after all the wind and rain.
Can he take on the big responsibility
Even though the Empress Dowager's heart is towards the Xu family, she has lived in the deep palace all her life, and her surname is no longer that of the Xu family, but the daughter-in-law of the royal family. In her heart, besides hoping that the Xu family will continue to be prosperous as her pillar, half of her heart is toward the country of Nanqi.
She felt that Liu Yan was not worthy of a big job.
The heirs of the royal family and the heirs of the clan add up, if she doesn't talk about it in private letters, she also thinks that Ye Chang is the most suitable.
The queen didn't sleep well, so she came to the queen mother's residence early in the morning, sat next to the queen mother, and said to her, "Queen mother, what does the emperor mean by this? I want Liu Yan to..."
The queen mother said, "Isn't the meaning obvious?"
The queen frowned and said, "Isn't it true that the emperor has no heirs? I will raise one under my name, and it will be enough to train and support him as a prince in the future. Liu Yan is so old, even if he is under my name, I will not be able to feed him well." .”
The queen mother turned her head to look at her, and snorted, "Heirs of the royal family, those concubines born are either timid, cowardly, or love to cry, you will strictly control the harem, women with good family background and well-educated, you Don't give them face, don't let them give birth to a child. As a result, none of the seeds born by these lowly concubines can be sold? How can they support the huge Southern Qi Dynasty?"
The queen knew she was guilty, and immediately fell silent.
The queen mother said regretfully, "The mistake of the Ai family was to help you to the throne. The Ai family will be under the nine springs in the future, and I will be sorry for the ancestors. So now that the emperor has no one to inherit, he can only choose from the clan. People." After finishing speaking, she said, "Fortunately, the same surname is Liu."
The queen whispered, "But Liu Yan...is it suitable?"
"The child Liu Yan... is suitable or not, the emperor has the final say." The queen mother waved her hand, "Forget it, don't talk about it, but fortunately the emperor is in good health and can last for a few years. He chose Liu Yan and followed him Bar."
The Queen nodded.
After the emperor brought Liu Yan to Ci'an Palace, both the queen mother and the empress calmed down. The queen mother took Liu Yan's hand lovingly and spoke, telling him to speak up if he needed anything. He also said that when he first came to live in the palace, he might not get used to it for a while, but he would get used to it after a long time.
The queen also echoed what the queen mother said.
The Ci'an Palace is peaceful and harmonious.
The emperor's hand was tied with white silk and wrapped like a zongzi. The queen mother saw that it was his right hand that had been injured, and said angrily to him, "Why doesn't the emperor take care of the dragon's body? Your hand is injured, how can you review the memorial?"
The emperor said, "It's my fault. I was pissed off by that bastard Ye Chang for a while, and I forgot my scruples." After speaking, he glanced at Liu Yan, and the child sat there obediently, and he said, "Liu Yan Now stay by my side, let him write for you."
The Empress Dowager was startled, and was about to blurt out how to do this, but seeing the emperor's face with a smile on his face, she took back the words.
The empress was not as good as the empress dowager, and said immediately after hearing the words, "This... ghostwriting is rare in ancient times, the emperor can't do it?"
The emperor said, "It's okay, I'm on the side. The so-called teaching is nothing more than that. Let him take this opportunity to get acquainted."
The queen also shut up when she heard the words.
Liu Yan bit her lip, not knowing whether she should say that he couldn't do it, so the matter was finalized during the conversation.
After greeting the Empress Dowager, the Emperor took Liu Yan out of the Ci'an Palace, but instead of returning to the Imperial Study, he took him to the Prince's residence, Mingjing Garden.
There were not many waiters in Mingjing Garden, when they heard that the emperor had arrived, the people in Mingjing Garden rushed to the door to greet him.
The prince came out with the support of a woman. He looked pale and thin. Every time he took a step, he coughed. The woman who supported him was beautiful, her wrists were as white as snow, and it was hard to hide her beauty in the deep palace.
The prince knelt on the ground to greet the emperor.
The emperor looked at the prince, then at the woman, and asked, "Who are you? What's your name?"
The woman's head almost fell to the ground, and she said in a low voice, "The servant was transferred to the prince's side two months ago, and her name is Qingqing."
"Qingqing?" The emperor had no impression.
Koizumi approached the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, she is the only survivor of the shipwreck on the East Lake in Lingyun Town. When Ye Shizi was rescued, he saved her by the way. When King Jin investigated the case, he brought her into the palace and handed her over to the The nurse next to the queen mother is teaching." After finishing the sentence, she said doubtfully, "I don't know why it was sent to the prince's side..."
The emperor nodded and waved to the crown prince, "Be flat!"
The prince stood up while coughing.
The emperor asked the prince, "Sick?"
The crown prince bowed his head and said, "Going back to my father, I have caught the wind and cold, no problem."
The emperor asked, "Have you invited the imperial physician?"
The prince was silent.
At this time, Qingqing said with red eyes, "Back to the emperor, the prince fell ill more than ten days ago. Because there is a ban in Mingjing Garden, slaves and maidservants are not allowed to go out at will, so they can't go out to ask the prince for a doctor. The person who delivered the meals every day sent a letter to the imperial hospital, but so far there is still no news, and no imperial doctor has come... "
The emperor looked at Koizumi.
Koizumi quickly said, "This slave has been following the emperor these days, and I don't know that the prince is ill..." After finishing speaking, he continued, "This Mingjing Garden lives in the harem, and the emperor has not set foot in the harem for a long time, so the slave naturally followed The emperor didn't come, I didn't expect the crown prince to be sick for many days, but..."
The emperor waved his hand, "Send someone to invite the imperial physician." After finishing speaking, he added, "Emperor Meng."
"Yes!" Koizumi said yes, quickly raised his hand to beckon a young eunuch, and gave orders.
The emperor entered the inner hall, sat down, and said to the prince, "You have lost your memory for nearly half a year since you woke up. What do you want to tell me?"
The prince whispered to the emperor, "According to the people who waited around me, before my son lost his memory, he wanted to become a monk, so he asked his father for permission."
"Lingyun Temple?" the emperor asked.
The crown prince nodded, "Lingyun Temple is also acceptable, and perhaps temples farther away are also acceptable."
The emperor asked again, "Is there any more?"
The crown prince glanced at Qingqing, and said, "Qingqing didn't enter the palace voluntarily, please let her out."
Qingqing immediately knelt on the ground when she heard the words, "Although the servant did not enter the palace voluntarily at the beginning, but the servant's life experience is wandering, and she is already homeless. The servant is willing to serve the prince for the rest of his life. Prince, please don't drive the servant away..."
The prince coughed twice again, and said, "I want to become a monk, so I don't need you to wait on me."
Qingqing burst into tears immediately.
Seeing that Qingqing kept crying, but did not cry out, the prince turned his head and said to the emperor, "Qingqing has suffered a lot of crying since entering the palace. The heart of a person has no power to pity others. Such a useless person will have nothing to worry about when he becomes a monk.”
The emperor glanced at Qingqing when he heard the words. I felt pity for the beautiful pear blossoms with rain. He said with a calm face, "Is there any more?"
The prince shook his head, "No more!"
The emperor was silent for a moment, and ordered to Koizumi, "Pass down my will, abolish the crown prince, demote him to a common man, and send him to become a monk at Lingyun Temple on a certain day after he recovers." For the beauty, bestow Huarongyuan."
Qingqing raised her head and looked at the emperor with watery eyes, seemingly stunned.
The prince got up, knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, father, for your kindness."
