The king has been feeling a little anxious lately.
Of course, it wasn't because of the middle-aged crisis, but because of a report from the Qin Tianjian not long ago. It is said that Ziwei is weak, and it is suspected that the emperor has a catastrophe, so he must guard against it. His Majesty the King was so frightened that he didn't think about eating and drinking for several days, and now it's just in time for the opening of the battle between Lingwu and the royal family. Looking at the sky, is it true that the woman is really going to take a sword from the northeast ice field to the fertile soil of the king's capital, and chop off his body 999 with one knife? head
The king was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
He even thought about whether he should replace Fan Qing from the front line. This person was recruited by Umi. Although he was well-known, the king's attitude towards him has always been lukewarm. The king of the previous generation of Yongtian Kingdom regarded him as a vassal, which caused Fanqing to become powerful for a time. Later, when the previous king passed away, Fanqing voluntarily resigned and went back to the mountains and forests. He no longer served the royal family and concentrated on compiling military books.
The emperor's mind is very delicate. If Fanqing did not leave after he came to power, the king would definitely find a reason to get rid of him, but if Fanqing left on his own initiative, the king would not feel that he had retreated in a hurry, but would have new dissatisfaction—well, my father is here When he was in the position, you acted like a cow and a horse for him, but as soon as I took the position, you patted your ass and ran away. Do you think I am unworthy? Okay, get out of here, and never come back.
To some extent, the emperor, like his girlfriend, has an unpredictable temper.
This is the reason why the royal family gradually declined later, but the king never invited Fan Qing out of the mountain. The current king is very insecure. His son is a dynasty that he doesn’t like, the prime minister is Umi who he doesn’t like, the general is Fanqing who he doesn’t like, and there are several lords outside that he doesn’t like, such as Li De . Seeing Yunyang develop well is more uncomfortable than himself not developing well. The king sometimes feels that the world is too hostile to him, and there are always troublemakers against him.
"...Is Your Majesty in a bad mood?"
Just as the king was leaning on the chair and closing his eyes to meditate, a bowl of pear cream appeared in front of him.
The king looked up along those white and tender forearms like lotus roots, and a woman with a peaceful face came into view.
Queen of Eternal Heaven, Lanna's biological mother, Heather.
Heather's background is not considered noble, although her appearance is elegant and pleasant, but there is no phoenix fate in her brows, she belongs to a typical small rich family. If there is no accident, it is absolutely impossible for her to become the queen, but the memory left by the previous queen to the king is still too deep, and now that the tyrants are full of courts, the king does not want the woman in charge of the harem to be with him. Different courts are against each other, so after weighing, I chose this woman with little prestige.
Heather couldn't control the harem. Because of this, she could only rely on the king's favor, and naturally obeyed the king in every possible way, which was also in the king's plan.
The king took the bowl of pear cream made by the queen himself, and said with emotion while eating:
"Internal troubles and external troubles, people's hearts are not old... Back then, my Ji family ended the tyranny of Yong Yuan and rescued those untouchables from the dire straits. They were not grateful to my Ji family, and even helped outsiders split my eternal territory. Sooner or later One day, I led troops to recover the old rivers and mountains, and executed all those who disobeyed me."
Heather persuaded softly:
"People's hearts are like water, and they are complicated and changeable. Why should your majesty care about their thoughts? After winning Lingwu, we will naturally have the power to divide and fight against other territories. Now the royal family is united as one, all because of your majesty's hard work. It is often said that His Majesty is the Lord of Zhongxing... "
The king snorted coldly and said:
"Up and down? Who knows what they are thinking, one by one, their consciences have been swallowed into the dog's stomach. How many people outside, at home, want to swallow me alive... Forget it, this is not what you should know of."
Heather smiled mischievously, watched the king finish eating the pear cream, and took back the empty bowl from his hand.
The king asked:
"Where's Lanna?"
Heather replied:
"I learned some ancient Chinese from the prime minister this morning, and I'm practicing calligraphy in my room now."
The king snorted again and didn't express any opinion, but he was obviously in a bad mood.
Heather's heart also raised, but she was not a smart person, and she didn't know how to make the king happy, so she bowed and walked out holding the bowl. The king also yawned, holding his head while thinking about the bleakness of Ziweixing, and the anger in his heart that had been suppressed by the Sydney cream just now became anxious again.
After Heather left the hall, on the way back, he saw the court king standing there quietly.
Seeing Heather, he smiled at the king and asked:
"Has he finished eating?"
Heather folded her hands on her chest and nodded slightly.
Chaowang exhaled and said slowly:
"It's not in vain that I've spent so much thought... There are two more times, and the effect of the medicine should take effect. Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise and guarantee the prosperity and wealth of your mother and daughter. If I guessed correctly, Lanna because of Being too close to Umi has gradually caused the alienation of my father, right?"
When Wang Chao walked towards Heather and passed by, he said in a flat tone:
"When you stay in the harem during this time, you can naturally feel how many people don't like your mother and daughter. If the father continues to live, one day he will transfer his love for Lanna to others, and you, the queen, will certainly It will be abolished. At that time, I don’t know how many people will be waiting to make trouble, and it is normal for a few people to die in the harem.”
Heather bit her lip, her body trembling slightly involuntarily.
Chaowang said no more, and left in great strides.
Heather didn't know how long she stood there until Lanna patted her, and the young queen regained consciousness. Lanna was still smiling happily, telling her what she learned from the teacher today, her eyes full of curiosity about the unknown and the outside world.
Heather looked at her daughter, her trembling body slowly returned to normal.
In fact, she didn't care about the glory and wealth that Chaowang said. She can also choose to ignore those people in the harem who get together every day to blame her. But she is very afraid that if she is gone one day, Lanna will be bullied by other children, just like what she experienced when she was a child.
"I want to visit Yunyang again one day. It should be quite different from the last time I went there. It's a pity that Lanna couldn't witness its changes..."
Lanna will not hide anything from her mother, holding a book and expressing her thoughts openly.
Heather smiled slightly, touched Lanna's head, and said to her:
"It's okay. In the future, you will have a lot of time to stay there and do what you like."
Lanna nodded vigorously.
