"You have said that Prince Huai committed a serious crime of losing his head. Is it possible that your father really doesn't remember it? It's just a moment of soft-heartedness. How can he really be interested in him again? Heart?" Concubine Wan Gui comforted her son, "Even if your father is confused for a moment, are the left and right prime ministers also confused? And there is Ding Shaodian, who is not afraid of death, and will definitely stop him when the time comes. Why do you need to worry about your father?"
"But if I can't become a prince, I will inevitably be anxious all day long." Lu Zhihe sighed, took a sip of tea, and looked at Concubine Wan Gui. His furrowed brows relaxed again, "Concubine I treat you harshly." Queen Chunxiao, I have always been worried that my father will be angry with my mother and concubine, but I didn't expect that my father's treatment of my mother and concubine will be the same as before, so I am relieved. "
"Your father is getting older. He lost his son and then his wife in the past year. Naturally, his heart has become softer and softer. Not only is he soft-hearted towards Prince Huai, but he is also soft-hearted towards us." Concubine Wan Gui said with a proud and graceful look on her face. After Queen Chunxiao's death, the harem is firmly in my hands, and no one in the harem will dare to seduce the saint. "
"The Queen Mother can't even get out of bed now. Naturally, the harem has everyone named Wan after the mother-in-law." Lu Zhihe also had a smile on his face. He relaxed on the soft pillow, took a sip of tea, and said to Concubine Wan Gui with a smile, "It's just that although the mother-in-law has great power, it's best if she can take the next step. If the mother-in-law becomes the queen, then I will be the legitimate son of the emperor. Why do you care about the prince's pregnancy?"
"You are right," Concubine Wan Gui nodded, staring at the gorgeous gold armor on her fingers with her wonderful eyes, and said slowly, "I cannot be a side wife for the rest of my life."

August 19, the 26th year of Jiasheng
Prince Ning's Mansion.
back yard.
Lu Zhishan and Mu Nanzhi sat under the pomegranate tree and chatted. Because of the Queen's funeral, they did not have a good time during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Queen was buried, they finally had time to sit down and drink tea and admire the moon. , although the moon on the 19th is no longer so round.
"The Queen Mother is not well. I went into the palace yesterday to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, but no one wanted to see the Queen Mother. I heard from Princess Jing'an that the Queen Mother only had a handful of bones left. There were always more than ten people in one day. She has been sleeping for an hour," Mu Nanzhi sighed, "Oh! Princess Jing'an also secretly told me that the Queen Mother might not survive the new year."
"The Xu family, a century-old family, is in a state of collapse. Prince Gong died suddenly, the prince was deposed, and now the queen is newly mourned. How can the queen mother not be sad?" Lu Zhishan took a sip of tea and said, "Long live the Lord. Has Prince Gong been granted the title of Prince Yongheng? Hasn’t the deposed Prince also been granted the title of Prince Huai? The Queen Mother should feel relieved."
"That's right. Yesterday, the Long Live Lord conferred the title of Prince Huai, and immediately asked Eunuch Zhao to come over and report to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother got better immediately and was able to stand up and drink less than half a bowl of pumpkin, millet, red date porridge," Mu Nanzhi said, leaning on the rocking chair and looking at Lu Zhishan, while eating pomegranates, he said to Lu Zhishan, "This Prince Huai has been a legend for three rises and three falls."
Lu Zhishan pursed his lips: "It's quite legendary, but I'm just afraid that it will hurt Concubine Wan Gui and Prince Baojun."
