After the Shangyuan Festival has passed, the Central Government will make a copy of the Central Government.
As soon as the dynasty opened, the eldest prince and the second prince stared at the position of the new prime minister, wishing to stay in the palace at night and not return home.
They are vying to recommend their own party members to take over as prime minister. At this time, whoever can let your majesty listen to will be able to seize the opportunity in the fight for the crown prince.
For this reason, many ministers in the DPRK submitted letters to Emperor Ning.
Even the old saying of Prince Li was turned over by some courtiers.
Emperor Ning was noisy for a long time, and was bored, so he had to hide from the Imperial Study Room into the harem.
"Your Majesty has been very upset these days. The concubine made lotus seed and pigeon soup with her own hands. It is very irritating. Your Majesty can use one?"
In the Tsinghua Palace, the concubine Xian personally held a round bowl of purple sand, with the fresh fragrance of lotus seeds overflowing.
Emperor Ning took a deep breath and said with a smile: "When I sniff it, I know that it is the craftsmanship of my concubine. Although there are many concubines in the harem, there are not many people who have cooked for me in one day like the concubine for twenty years. "
His gaze fell gently on Concubine Xian, who gave birth to the eldest prince. This year, he is already in his forties, but the relationship between the two is still deep.
This feeling is not the lust of young men and women, but a kind of tacit understanding like friends and relatives.
The concubine Xian nodded slightly, her face flushed red, "Some small things, the concubines have no other ability, and can only use some careful thinking to serve your majesty. If your majesty can be relieved, your concubines will be content."
Ning Di took the round bowl in her hand, touched her cold fingertips, and held it particularly distressed.
Concubine Xian smiled and withdrew her hand, "It's not a problem, because the concubine accidentally touched cold water while washing the lotus seeds."
Ning Di sighed and slowly put down the soup.
"There is no queen in the palace. You are in charge of the harem for me, and you have to take care of yourself. Some things are the duty of a slave, you leave it to the slave. I don't like people who don't keep their duty."
His tone was suddenly serious, and the concubine Xian hurriedly said, "Yes, the concubine has been taught."
She vaguely felt that there was something in Ningdi's words, and she seemed to be annoyed by who was not keeping his duty.
After a moment of silence, she slowly moved behind Ning Di and massaged his shoulders and necks, which is where he has always been sore.
Emperor Ning suddenly realized that his tone was heavy, "Is it scaring you? I am not angry with you, I am angry. He is a veteran who has assisted me for decades, and the first person in my heart is Gu. Hou, the second person is him. Who knows that he is so incomprehensible that he assassinated Gu Hou Shizi in order to fight for power and profit, leaving me a lot of trouble!"
Concubine Xian said slowly: "Your Majesty is talking about the successor to the prime minister, right? The country cannot be indifferent for a day. Since Prime Minister Yin resigned, this candidate needs to be found quickly."
Emperor Ning said: "Why don't I know this truth? Yin Yan left me with a selection, and I also think it is very suitable. But Yi Zhao and Chengzhi each recommend ministers, and they don't give each other. They also recommend good relations with them. Minister!"
Concubine Xian hurriedly knelt down, "It's the concubine and the child who has nowhere to do it. Although Yi Zhao is the elder brother, the second prince is the prince. He doesn't understand the rules, how can he dare to argue with the second prince?"
When she said such things on weekdays, Emperor Ning would always comfort her. The eldest prince was the elder brother, and his status was no lower than that of the second prince.
She also told her not to be so inferior, so as not to make the prince feel uncomfortable.
But today, Emperor Ning did not speak.
Concubine Xian fell on her knees, her heart becoming more disturbed, only to feel that Emperor Ning's eyes kept falling on her head.
After a long time, that gaze slowly retracted.
He stretched out a hand in front of him, "Get up, Yi Zhao is already an adult, he has his own ideas, which you can't control. You have been in charge of the harem for many years and haven't mentioned any unreasonable thoughts to me, I understand. "
Concubine Xian's mouth was a little stiff, and she slowly stood up with Ning Di's hand.
He did not understand.
A woman doesn't say what she wants naked, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want it.
She just understood that there were some things Ning Di didn't take the initiative to give her, which meant that he didn't want to give it.
Otherwise, the queen will have been driving for so many years, and the second position will not remain empty.
The concubine respectfully said: "The concubine thinks that Yizhao will not think too much. He is well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and as the eldest son of his majesty, he is the eldest son of his majesty, and he does his duty."
"I'm afraid, his duty is too much."
Concubine Xian raised her head suddenly, Ning Di's words like a thunder, slammed straight on her head.
For a while, she tremblingly said, "Your Majesty means..."
"Do you know Concubine Ai, why did I give Yi Zhao this name to me?"
The concubine said: "The concubine knows. Yi is an assistant, and Zhao is bright. Your Majesty hopes that Yi Zhao will assist His Majesty and be a fair and upright person."
"Yes."
Emperor Ning patted her hand, "I not only hope that Yi Zhao will assist me now, but also hope that he can assist the next king well, do you understand?"
The woman withdrew her hand quietly, and trembled fiercely in the sleeves of the large palace dress.
She understood this meaning from the time the eldest prince was born.
The queen did not have a concubine, and her concubine became the eldest son of the emperor. At that time, there were many complaints between the queen and the queen’s mother.
In order to quell the grievances in the middle palace, Emperor Ning gave the eldest prince this name, which was almost equivalent to telling others that the eldest prince could not inherit the position.
Yi who is also an assistant.
What the Concubine Xian didn't expect was that Emperor Ning's thoughts remained unchanged after the Queen had died for so many years.
For so many years, she worked hard and wisely managed the harem for him, but after all, she did not get his preference...
