Has His Royal Highness chased his wife's crematorium today?

"So the Crown Princess also understands?"

If the queen was here, the queen mother would not speak like this.

But this is Yun Zhao, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, although this Crown Princess has a noble status and is well-loved, it is true that she is not very secure as a Queen Mother.

However, she is also an elder.

The Queen Mother was caught in a cycle of entanglement. On the one hand, she knew that the person in front of her would be honored in the future.

The position of crown prince and crown prince is very secure. If there are no accidents, he will be able to sit on the position of queen smoothly in a few years.

She didn't need to make the princess unhappy and offend the future mother of the country.

The Empress Dowager raised her hand to press her forehead, and frowned slightly, "Since the Crown Princess understands, why is the East Palace still so deserted?"

"Princess, do you know what to do?"

In fact, she would rather give someone over directly, but if she is rejected, she will really lose face.

Furthermore, the Queen Mother also felt that she was helping the Crown Princess.

When the prince ascends the throne, the harem will inevitably hold a general election.

After the general election, the concubines entered the palace one by one, and at that time the Crown Princess was empty-handed.

The monopoly is gone, and she has gained a reputation of being jealous.

Others will not think that the prince has a cold temper and is busy with political affairs, but will think that the princess is using her status to suppress the prince and not allow him to take a concubine.

Yun Zhao nodded, "I know."

Zhao Shi and Qian Shi couldn't help raising their heads when they heard this, their eyes were full of surprise.

Then they glanced at each other, and neither of them could see any unknown meaning in each other's eyes.

The Crown Princess is... going to take a concubine for His Highness the Crown Prince?

It's not uncommon to take concubines, but when it comes to the prince and princess, why is it so unbelievable.

The queen mother didn't expect her arrival to be so smooth, so smooth that she began to look at Yun Zhao suspiciously, wondering if she was cheating on her.

"My son will tell His Highness what the Empress Dowager means."

The queen mother was choked by these words, and the prince's cold face appeared in her mind for a moment, so she said quickly, "What is this? Didn't you know it just now? Now that you know... why did you tell the prince?"

Zhao Shi and Qian Shi shrank like quails beside them, even breathing slowly, for fear of being noticed by the Queen Mother and getting involved.

At the same time, they couldn't help looking at Yun Zhao.

They were also a little curious about if a woman entered the East Palace.

Yun Zhao raised his eyes, as if he didn't understand what the Queen Mother was talking about, so he asked, "Why didn't you tell him?"

The queen mother was heartbroken, and then said, "Are you looking for the prince's support? Do you think the prince will not take concubines for the rest of his life because of your status?"

She was probably angry with her boss, so she didn't choose what she said.

Yun Zhao blinked, and then said after a while, "It's the crown prince taking concubines, not the ministers, why didn't you tell him? The ministers don't understand, what does the empress dowager mean by that?"

Empress Dowager: "..."

That's what it meant, she thought the princess was going to sue the prince.

but……

The situation doesn't seem to be getting any better.

The Empress Dowager's expression slowed down, and she tried to say softly, "You are the concubine of the Crown Prince, taking concubines for the Crown Prince, it is your duty to choose a few caring people by his side, there is no need to tell the Crown Prince."

Yun Zhao shook his head, "Since he is caring for his own people, how can the son-in-law feel that caring for his own people is caring for his own people? Naturally, His Highness is satisfied."

Qiuyue on one side lowered her head and twitched her eyebrows.

She thought that if the crown princess accepted here today, she dared to say that the empress dowager would never have a good life in the future.

The Queen Mother was speechless, looked at Yun Zhao for a long time, and pursed her lips, "Forget it, it's me, the old lady, meddling in my own business."

"Originally, it was also for the sake of the reputation of the crown prince and you, the crown princess."

"Since you don't appreciate it, I don't care."

The queen mother stood up and was supported by two nuns to leave.

Yun Zhao saluted her, but didn't say anything else.

After a long time, Mrs. Zhao talked about an interesting thing she heard and changed the subject.

Waiting for Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Qian to leave with their sons, Yun Zhao took the brochure to read.

"Let someone accompany the two ladies tomorrow."

Yun Zhao looked at the booklets piled on the table that were almost higher than her eyesight, and said.

Qiuyue replied, "Yes."

Yun Zhao opened the booklet, frowning after flipping through a few pages.

She was startled by the numbers on it, she kept turning to the end, her expression didn't look any better.

"In the past two years, the expenses of the harem have increased."

Yun Zhao pressed the center of his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

In fact, Beixiao treasury is relatively rich, but it is not used in such a way.

Qiuyue said, "The Crown Princess forgot, His Majesty's birthday..."

That's right, the birthday celebration was indeed more grand.

Yun Zhao still doesn't understand why this birthday is held again and again, and what it is for.

"This is the shop that the princess's elder brother bought for the princess." Qiuyue took out a stack of booklets from the side.

"The Crown Princess didn't bring many people, so His Highness sent someone to take care of it there."

Yun Zhao nodded. In fact, even if she brought many people from Yun Country, she would not let them take care of them.

At this moment, Xiao Yandi tilted his head from outside the door, holding something unclear in his hand.

The palace people would not stop him, and he also told everyone not to make a sound.

So when he went in, Yun Zhao didn't see him either.

Su Xi, on the other hand, exclaimed, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Zhao looked over and almost didn't recognize it.

Ever since Xiao Yandi was born, Yun Zhao felt that he was too cute and sensible.

I will never do what I am not allowed to do, and I will not cry willfully.

At this time, this well-behaved child, with messy hair and clothes, a dirty face, was standing there with his sleeves covering something.

It's like having a fight with someone else.

There is only one eighth prince who is similar in age to him in this palace, but now... the eighth prince is rarely allowed to go out.

So it shouldn't be him, but others are even less likely.

Yun Zhao walked over, holding a handkerchief, and asked someone to bring warm water.

While waiting, she first wiped his face with a handkerchief, "Where did this go?"

The palace servants who followed Xiao Yandi stood outside feeling uneasy.

"In the garden." Just as Xiao Yandi spoke, sobbing came from his arms.

Su Xi leaned closer, said "Ouch", then looked around, "What's the sound?"

Yun Zhao lowered his head, under Yun Zhao's gaze, Xiao Yandi silently raised a hand, revealing what he had been holding... a cat.

Qiuyue hurried over to take it, but Xiao Yandi dodged it.

He just stood there stubbornly, not saying a word.

Yun Zhao bent down, stretched out his hand to touch his face first, and then touched the cat tightly hugging his hand, "Want to raise?"

Su Xi said, "If your highness wants to keep a cat, this servant will go and hug a beautiful one."

Yun Zhao raised his hand, Su Xi stopped talking.

Yun Zhao asked again, "Do you really want to adopt?"

Xiao Yandi hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"Then let's keep it." At this time, warm water was brought over, and instead of wiping his face, someone brought warm water to the side hall to wash the cat.

After washing the cat, wash him again.

"There is no child in the palace who is about the same age as His Royal Highness, and that one...isn't counted." Qiuyue poured water over, looked at Yun Zhao and said.

Yun Zhao rested his chin, looking thoughtful.

"The servant girl's words, His Highness the Crown Prince will probably be angry when he hears this, but after all the Crown Princess is young, and His Highness is still young. Taking advantage of this, there will be a few children, and the little Highness can also have a companion."

Yun Zhao continued to think, and shook his head after a long time, "For a companion, one more child is needed, so it's better to give him a few more cats and dogs, and he will be happier."

"Furthermore, this matter cannot be rushed."

"Auntie, you know that I didn't avoid it on purpose."

Qiuyue: "..."

It's hard for her to say, Crown Princess, you didn't avoid it on purpose, but His Highness the Crown Prince deliberately avoided it.

Turning her head, she looked at the place where Yun Zhao was sitting and sighed, still worrying about what to do in the future.

The Crown Princess has only one child, and His Royal Highness has no other concubines.

As it is now, the courtiers of the former dynasty are already very dissatisfied, but they are not too courageous.

But what about later?

One day His Highness ascends to that position, this matter is bound to cause trouble.

Qiuyue looked at Yun Zhao, thinking that the Crown Princess should take a concubine from His Royal Highness, and didn't care much about it.

She seems to be more open minded.

The one who can't think about it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But in this kind of matter, it must be the crown princess who gets annoyed, and the queen mother came here today.

The emperor is still waiting for the elixir to be refined.

In fact, the imperial physicians, including Chen imperial physician, advised the emperor to rest at ease and not to take pills.

He also listed several emperors before Bei Xiao who did not live long after taking pills.

Of course, the words will not be so direct.

Just to put it mildly, it may not be useful for increasing life expectancy.

But the emperor believed in Shen Bai very much. He was on the verge of death several times.

In addition, he felt that after taking the medicine for a period of time, his body improved a lot.

Gradually, he was able to stand up by himself and walk without assistance.

Seeing that the emperor insisted, these imperial physicians had no way to persuade them, so they went to the queen mother and empress.

The queen mother doesn't care about the life and death of the emperor, it's not her own son.

The emperor didn't have much respect for her. To her, the emperor's position was no different from that of the crown prince.

So she doesn't care.

As for the empress, she first smiled and responded, then said sadly that she could only try to persuade her, but it might not succeed.

After that, she went to Guangming Palace for a walk, but she didn't persuade her, but really just took a walk.

The servant at the door asked Shou'an, "What is your mother doing here?"

Shouan: "..."

How could he know.

"Probably worried about His Majesty."

The servant who asked the question nodded, but lowered his voice in confusion and murmured, "It's just that since you are worried about His Majesty, why did you just walk around inside and not talk to Your Majesty?"

Shou An: "..." Who knows.

But with the empress's appearance, it's not bad that she didn't speak ill of His Majesty.

inside.

With the help of Li De, the emperor went down to the study in the house.

Then he asked Li De to take off the things behind the plaque and looked at it for a long time.

Li De said, "Your Majesty... now it's just..."

He couldn't say it completely.

The emperor shook his head at him, "There is no need to persuade."

"His Majesty……"

"I have to be worthy of this country."

Li De didn't speak anymore, just kept looking at the emperor, not knowing whether he was too smart or too confused for a moment.

However, he was able to survive the seizure of the throne back then and sit on the throne.

In itself, it is not a fool.

It's just that sometimes, you have to be confused, and only by being confused can you live without such suffering.

After a while, the emperor came out and wanted to go to the garden to relax.

Shouan opened his mouth, glanced at Li De, and seeing that he didn't stop him, he called two young eunuchs to help him, while he opened the way.

The emperor has been ill for a long time.

This also means that he has not entered the harem for a long time and has not seen those concubines.

So as soon as the news of his entry into the harem spread to all directions, the garden was soon full of Yingying Yanyan.

With Shou'an in the way, they didn't let a few of them jump directly at the emperor.

The emperor's face was not very good, and he asked people to stop these concubines, and then went to sit in the pavilion for a long time.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is there." Shou An pointed to one side and said.

The emperor squinted his eyes there, "Let him come over."

Xiao Changyin sat down expressionlessly, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

The emperor suddenly said, "You are better than me in this regard."

But his words were so soft that no one else heard him except Xiao Changyin.

And Xiao Changyin didn't respond at all as if he didn't hear this sentence.

Shou An, who was guarding outside, felt very painful. He was walking on eggshells when he usually served His Majesty alone.

When His Majesty and His Royal Highness were together, he wanted to get sick and stay away.

"I still remember that when you were young, you had nightmares, and you were so afraid that you wanted to come to me."

Xiao Changyin: "I don't remember this incident, but if there is, then I am ignorant."

The emperor was silent, "That's all."

He yelled Shou'an outside, and Shou'an came in quickly, shaking the whisk in his hand, "Your Majesty."

"Go back," said the emperor.

Shouan: "Yes."

Not long after, Xiao Changyin also stood up and left.

For the next few days, Yun Zhao hardly saw Xiao Changyin, but a box the size of a food box would be delivered every two days.

Sometimes it's snacks, sometimes it's delicate jewelry.

Concubine Zheng came back one time, just in time to meet Mu Yi to send something.

Then he smiled and asked, "What kind of treasure is in here, and you want to give it to me?"

Hearing this, Yun Zhao had no choice but to ask someone to open the box. Inside was a red jade hairpin, which was very translucent and beautiful in color when placed under the sun.

The most interesting thing is that a cat is carved at the end, which is lifelike.

Concubine Zheng felt a little sour when she thought that it was sent by the crown prince.

For more than ten years when her harem was a favorite, His Majesty just sent someone to find something in the warehouse to give her.

Thinking about it, I didn't care at all.

Yun Zhao gave the hairpin to Xiao Yandi, and asked him to tie a string to one end of the hairpin, and tie a ball to the other end of the string to tease the cat.

Then he asked, "What did you say just now?"

Concubine Zheng restrained her expression a little, and teased, "It was said earlier that the crown prince loves the crown princess, but today I really saw it."
