The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 698 The First Prince

Xiaobao blinked, still a little confused, thinking he had arrived home.

"Daddy, are you home yet?" Xiao Bao asked, rubbing his eyes as he climbed up from the slump.

Jue Lin quickly sat next to him, hugged him in his arms and said softly: "Not yet, we haven't left the palace yet, you sleep a little longer, it's because Daddy met an acquaintance and just said a few words."

"Oh." Xiao Bao replied and closed his eyes again, leaning against Jue Lin's arms and soon fell asleep again.

Jue Lin looked out across the carriage with heavy eyes, guessing whether the second prince heard what Xiaobao said just now, and if so... Jue Lin couldn't help patting Xiaobao's back with his hand, his eyes flickered There was a cold light.

Although there was a little episode, the carriage of the palace was still moving forward steadily, as if nothing had happened. No matter the people in the carriage or the people beside the carriage, they all looked ordinary. Something strange.

The second prince stood at the same place and watched the palace's carriage drift away, his two black eyebrows slowly wrinkled together, doubts, shock, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Did he hear wrong just now, otherwise, how could he hear the voice of a child in the carriage, and, moreover, he seems to have heard the child call Daddy?Is there anyone else in the carriage besides Jue Lin?No, if there is no one else around, then the child in the carriage called Jue Lin when he called Daddy?When did Juelin have a child?
No, Juelin has a child, it's impossible!The marriage between him and Mu Jinxi has not even been set, and Jue Lin has never been close to women, so it is impossible to have a son who can call someone, absolutely impossible!He must have heard it wrong, it must be!
The second prince shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of that immature voice in his mind, as well as that voice of daddy.

He felt that he wanted to see Juelin make a fool of himself so much, so he fantasized about it. How could Juelin have a son?If he had a son, no one in the capital would know, and who was the mother of the child?It is impossible that there is no news at all. Jue Lin is not a cat or a dog on the street. His every move is watched by people. If he really has a son who can already call someone, people in the capital will have already spread the news. opened.

But so far, he has not heard any news.

etc!He remembered something.

During the Chinese New Year, didn't some news spread that people from the Xiao Mansion took a child out to play in the countryside?That child seemed to be four or five years old, and he had a very good relationship with the Xiao family, and an even better relationship with Mu Jinxi, as close as a mother and child.At that time, some people still doubted whether this child would be Mu Jinxi's child, but because Mu Jinxi was still young, everyone denied this guess in the end.

Later, some people tried to inquire about the child, but the people of the Xiao family concealed it very well, and outsiders could not find out any information. I'm not sure, I don't know whose child offended Prime Minister Xiao, but in the end this matter was left alone, and now few people mention this matter.

If he hadn't heard that suspicious father today, he would have forgotten about it.But now, he has a bold guess in his heart!

Could it be that the child in the carriage is actually the mysterious child of the Xiao Mansion, and this child is really likely to belong to Mu Jinxi!

But just thinking about this possibility, the second prince denied it again.He felt something was wrong, if it was really Mu Jinxi's child, then Juelin couldn't possibly want an innocent woman who had already given birth to be the princess.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if he wanted to, his father would never agree, hmph, in his father's heart, he is much more important than these princes!

The second prince thought sourly in his heart.

It's just that if it wasn't what I thought, then who did the child in the carriage belong to? It was also called Jue Lin's father, and it was brought into the palace.Why did he bring this child into the palace?see who?

Only then did the second prince think of a very important question.This is the imperial palace, Jue Lin brought an unknown child into the palace, there is probably no other person except the emperor, so the emperor knows about this child?There is nothing other than the matter of Jue Lin that can make the father attach so much importance. So, the relationship between this child and Jue Lin is really extraordinary?
Could it really be Juelin's son?is it possible?
The second prince actually didn't believe this possibility in his heart. The child could clearly call him Daddy, and the words had already been translated into sentences, which meant that he was at least three years old. If it was really that mysterious child from the Xiao Mansion, then It is four or five years old. Calculated according to this time, Jue Lin was only a teenager when this child was born, and he has been staying in the capital all the time. How could he have a son?
And the children in Xiao's house don't know if they are really the children in Juelin's carriage, if not, then there will be two children, one for Juelin himself and one for Mu Jinxi?What was going on, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he always felt that something was wrong, something was wrong.Should he first find out who the child in the Xiao Mansion is, or should he first find out who the child in Juelin's carriage is?
The second prince soon confirmed, of course, it is more important to find out who the child in Jue Lin's carriage is, but it is definitely not an easy task to find out the secret of Jue Lin, and the palace cannot be entered casually. , The relationship between him and Jue Lin, everyone in the capital knows that if they go to the palace by themselves, they will definitely be blocked from the gate.

But going to the Xiao Mansion...he has no reason to go!He didn't have any close relationship with the two sons of the Xiao family, especially since Xiao Xiao and Jue Lin were good friends, it was even more impossible for him to have a good relationship with Xiao Xiao.As for Mr. Xiao, he has never been hostile to others, but it's not so easy to get along with others. He is very easy-going with everyone and looks kind.

Maybe he can go to Xiao Mansion to inquire first, and then decide on the next step?In any case, no matter what, there must be some important secret about Jue Lin, and this secret has a lot to do with Xiao Mansion and Mu Jinxi!He must find out what secrets are hidden in it, what happened to the child in Juelin's carriage, and the child in Xiao's mansion!

If Jue Lin really had a son, who was his son's mother?If Mu Jinxi also has a child, who is the father of the child?Do they both know each other's secrets?If you don't know, when he exposes it, Jue Lin and Xiao Mansion will definitely turn against each other. Marriage... Hahaha, I'm afraid there will be no marriage at that time!
Thinking of this possibility, the second prince immediately felt relieved.If Jue Lin and Prime Minister Xiao's family turned against each other, he couldn't be happier. He would be happy to see Jue Lin's misfortune. Don't ask him why, he doesn't know, he is just happy anyway!

In fact, if he had the guts, he could ask his father now, but unfortunately, he didn't have the courage to go to his father to inquire about the news, and his father must know about it. It will definitely be discovered that he knows something, maybe he will be beaten severely, and he will not be allowed to do anything about this matter.In this case, he would have missed a good opportunity to attack Jue Lin.

Now, he just pretended that he didn't know anything, to numb Juelin first, and then play it by ear!
After calming down, the second prince got on the sedan chair and continued to enter the palace, but when he was going up the white jade steps, the second prince met another sedan chair, and both sedan chairs stopped.

"Second prince, this is the eldest prince's sedan chair." The entourage beside the second prince said in a low voice.

The second prince in the sedan chair raised his eyebrows and lifted the curtain, just in time to see the eldest prince in front also lift the curtain, after thinking about it, the second prince still walked out of the sedan chair.

"Brother today is really a coincidence, the elder brother also came to the palace to pay his respects to the emperor?"

The first prince also stepped out of the sedan chair, wearing the prince's uniform, tall and straight, with a handsome face, gentle and kind eyes, looking at the second prince like an ordinary elder brother, with a slight smile on his mouth, obviously seeing the second prince also Feeling very coincidental, he said with a smile: "No, it's rare to see the second brother in the palace without an appointment. Since we moved out of the palace and established the mansion, we brothers rarely meet each other. Greetings? My brother's entry into the palace today is not to greet the emperor, but to visit the empress."

"Speaking of which, I haven't greeted my mother for a long time. Eldest brother has to say something nice for me in front of my mother. Don't blame me for my mother. I will enter the palace to greet my mother some other day."

The eldest prince laughed and said: "Look at what you said, how could the queen mother blame you for such a trivial matter? We have grown up and are not as free as we were when we were young. How can we go to the palace every day to pay respects to the queen mother?" ? I haven’t entered the palace for many days, and if the queen mother blames it, she will only blame me.”

"Where is it? We all see the empress mother's love for eldest brother."

The two chatted and laughed a few words, the second prince paused, and asked, "Brother just entered the palace?"

The eldest prince nodded in a daze and said: "Yeah, I just entered the palace, and I'm going to Yongle Palace to pay my respects to my mother. If I still have time to visit my father again, I don't know if my father will see me."

In fact, it was the empress mother who sent someone out of the palace to ask him to enter the palace immediately. Hearing the tone of the messenger, he seemed to be in a hurry, so he dropped what he was doing and went into the palace.

The second prince's eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively: "Did the elder brother meet anyone when he entered the palace?"

The eldest prince was a little puzzled, and asked: "What does the second brother mean? Will I meet someone? Could it be that someone came into the palace today?"

The second prince observed his elder brother calmly, trying to see something from his face, didn't the elder brother meet Jue Lin?He was a little skeptical, but looking at his elder brother's expression, he didn't seem to be fake. It seemed that he really hadn't met Jue Lin.

After thinking for a while, the second prince said bluntly: "I met Jue Lin when I entered the palace just now."

The eldest prince blinked, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed and said: "It turns out that the second younger brother met Jue Lin, no wonder you asked this question, you two have been at odds since childhood, should you?" Didn't you quarrel again? Second brother, second brother, why don't you learn your lesson? You know that your father dotes on Jue Lin and treats him like a baby lump, but you still want to provoke him and want to suffer Father scolded you, right?"

The first thing that the first prince thought of when he heard his words was whether the two had quarreled again. Every time the second brother saw Jue Lin, he always had a bad face, and would sarcastically say a few words from time to time. Sometimes Jue Lin was too lazy to Arguing with him is fine, but if you encounter Jue Lin in a bad mood, Jue Lin's mouth can poison people to death, but when it comes out of his mouth, it is still calm and breezy, so that the listeners will feel ashamed. I felt even more choked up in my heart.

The second younger brother often jumps up in anger. The second younger brother is about the same age as Juelin, but his temperament is not as stable as Juelin. It is no wonder that the father often points at his nose and scolds him for being brainless. Such a trivial matter would cause endless quarrels with Jue Lin. Knowing that the father had a special affection for the Mu Palace because of the matter of the emperor's grandfather, the second younger brother insisted on getting together to provoke Jue Lin. Isn't this asking for trouble? ?
Although he and the other brothers and sisters sometimes feel unhappy that their father favors Jue Lin so much, at least they will not be as impulsive as the second brother on the surface. Offending Jue Lin will definitely do no good. It's better to get along well with him, maybe the father is happy, and pay more attention to them.

Alas, it's aggrieved to say that they are the sons and daughters of the royal father, but to get the royal father's attention, they have to rely on others and take advantage of others... No wonder the second brother doesn't like Jue Lin.

The second brother is about the same age as Jue Lin. When he was young, his father would rather hug Jue Lin than the second brother. He treated Jue Lin as his own son, but left his own son aside. He has been neglected like this since he was a child, and it was okay when he was not sensible, but what he saw and experienced after he became sensible is enough to make him dislike Juelin.

The first prince fell into his own thoughts, and didn't notice that the second prince had been staring at him for a while, and after making sure he didn't see Jue Lin, he retracted his gaze, snorted and said, "I'm too lazy to fight with him." , It was his carriage that blocked my way! This is the palace, how could he enter the palace in a carriage? Isn’t it just relying on his father to favor him? Jue Lin is becoming more and more rampant! His momentum is stronger than that of us princes Be arrogant! I don't know what my father thinks, what's wrong with Jue Lin, if you pamper and pamper him so much, don't be afraid—"

"Second brother! Be careful!" The eldest prince sternly stopped the second prince, preventing him from saying anything he should not say.

This is the imperial palace, if what the second brother said reaches the ears of the emperor, he can guarantee that the person who suffers the most will definitely be the second brother, not Jue Lin!

The second prince curled his lips and said: "Forget it, don't talk, don't talk, elder brother, you go to see the queen mother, I have also left the palace. It's really bad luck that Jue Lin ruined my good mood like this!"

Hearing that he used the word "unlucky" to describe his encounter with Jue Lin, the eldest prince couldn't help but cry, and persuaded him: "You should restrain your temper in the future. You can't bear it when you see Jue Lin getting angry? And Jue Lin Lin, if you don’t provoke him, he won’t come to provoke you, wouldn’t it be good to have less trouble? It’s not good for you if you have to make such a fuss.”

The second prince waved his hand, and he didn't take it seriously at all as the words of the eldest prince went in one ear and out the other.After saying a few words, he got into his sedan chair and left. The eldest prince looked at the direction he was leaving with dark eyes, stood quietly for a while, then shook his head and got into the sedan chair and headed towards Yongle Palace.

The queen had been waiting for a long time when the eldest prince came to Yongle Palace. After she came back from the emperor, the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She always felt uneasy in her heart. The emperor's attitude is really different recently. It was inexplicable at first. She gave Jue Lin a marriage, and the object of the marriage was Xiao Jingyan's niece. At that time, she thought that this niece had no family background. Lin, it should be fine.

But now that I think about it, it doesn't feel right.

Given the importance the emperor attaches to Jue Lin, it is impossible to arrange such a woman for Jue Lin to be his concubine, but the emperor suddenly said that he would give him a marriage, which is inconsistent with the emperor's usual attitude towards Jue Lin. That Mu Jinxi is really a worthless woman, how could the emperor agree to marry her so easily?Could it be that Xiao Jingyan promised the emperor something, and then used it in exchange for his niece's marriage?

After all, I heard that Xiao Jingyan loves this niece very much. For the happiness of this niece, Xiao Jingyan is very likely to do something. If the emperor promised Xiao Jingyan something at this time, as long as Xiao Jingyan assisted Jue Lin, Xiao Jingyan would do the same. It is possible to agree!Could it be that the emperor wants to——

The more the queen thinks about it, the more she feels that this possibility is very high. After all, she has heard the emperor lament more than once before that none of her princes can take on great responsibilities. If they have half of Jue Lin's ability, she doesn't have to worry about it. or something.In the past, she just listened and didn't take it to heart, firstly because Juelin was still young at that time, and secondly because of Juelin's identity, but now thinking about it, these are not problems, if the emperor wants, he can always- —

Thinking of this incident, the queen's head hurts, she kept telling herself not to think too much, maybe things were not what she thought at all, she was overthinking, but the thoughts in her heart grew and flourished like weeds ...

Why hasn't the emperor entered the palace yet?How did the person who sent the message tell him? Can he pay attention to such an important matter?I really want to kill her!

The old mother beside the queen saw the impatience in the queen's heart, and comforted her softly: "Your Majesty, maybe things are not what you think. It's not that you don't know the emperor's attitude towards the young prince Juelin. It's always been like this. See you alone." Little Prince Juelin was not without it in the past, so what is there to worry about?"

"Nurse, you don't understand, it's different this time!" The queen said a little annoyed.

The nanny smiled and said: "What's the difference? The old slave thinks it's no different. You don't know the temperament of the young prince Juelin, you have always followed your temper. Sometimes even the emperor can't help him. Who knows?" Could it be that what happened to the young prince Juelin himself? This old slave looks at the emperor as before!"

The queen frowned, her eyes flashed with worry, Mammy's words did not comfort her, her rationality told her to think like Mammy, but her emotions were on the other side.

Seeing that the queen was frowning, the mother felt a headache, walked behind the queen, rubbed her forehead herself, and said softly while rubbing: "Ma'am, please forgive me for saying something disrespectful, ma'am, you are worrying too much." , isn’t it all good now? Besides, the emperor is in his prime of life, his dragon body is healthy, and his attitude towards the princes is fairly fair. He didn’t say that he is too partial to anyone. The eldest prince is both the eldest son and the first son. What's there to worry about?"

The queen closed her eyes, listened to what the nanny said, sighed softly and said: "If the emperor can be up to date, I don't need to worry so much. But look at the emperor... I am not up to date, married The concubine is also useless! I really regret letting the emperor marry that woman! I know how to be jealous all day long, but I have never seen her do anything right!"

The nanny paused and said tactfully: "The princess is still young. After a few years, she will naturally become stable and become the eldest prince's virtuous helper. Moreover, the princess's natal family is also the eldest prince's helper. Are you saying it won't help the eldest prince?"

The queen took a deep breath and said, "That's the only thing that makes me think of her!"

If it wasn't for her status, how could she be qualified to be the emperor's concubine?Now that I think about it, she shouldn’t have been obsessed with choosing such a concubine for the emperor. It doesn’t matter if the concubine’s status is a little bit lower, as long as she is not a lady from a small family, there are many in this capital. There are a lot of people who are more powerful than her, so why did she fall in love with her in the first place?

It's true that apart from her identity slightly satisfying her, there's nothing about her that makes her fancy!
Hey, if Ms. Mo of Duke Mo's mansion is still a few years older, she would be the one she fell in love with when the emperor was choosing a concubine. It's a pity, if it's Ms. Mo, she not only has a family background, but also has a good temperament and handles things well. Proper, with a certain amount of advance and retreat, there is nothing more suitable to be a princess. If it is her, I believe that she can be a good helper to the emperor, unlike the current one.

When the queen thought of Mo Xuerui, she felt a pity in her heart. She was really optimistic about Mo Xuerui, but I heard that the person she liked was Jue Lin?Thinking of this queen is not happy again.

Jue Lin, Jue Lin, Jue Lin again, what is wrong with Jue Lin?But now she doesn't have to worry about Mo Xuerui marrying Jue Lin. Jue Lin already has a marriage contract with Mu Jinxi, and the marriage is still granted, and it is impossible to marry someone else in the future.

Thinking of a certain possibility, the queen couldn't help asking: "Nurse, do you think it is possible for the emperor to accept the young lady of Mo's mansion as a side concubine?"

The nanny was startled, and asked with some uncertainty: "Your Majesty is talking about Miss Mo...is it Miss Mo Xuerui from Duke Mo's mansion?"

The queen nodded.

The nanny showed a troubled expression on her face, and said hesitantly: "Mother, Miss Mo is the first daughter of the Duke of Mo, and the only one..." How could the Duke and his wife agree to let their daughter go? What about being a concubine?
A side concubine is also called a concubine, but it is only a side concubine. To put it bluntly, it is a concubine. How can a good lady who is the Duke's concubine be a concubine?Even if the object is a prince, it's the same, unless the eldest prince inherits the throne in the future... But at that time, he probably won't care about Miss Mo's identity, right?

A trace of disappointment flashed across the Queen's face. Obviously, she knew it in her heart. Mo Xuerui's background was indeed impossible for someone to be a concubine. A little, or a concubine, that's still possible, what a pity...

But the queen didn't think about it, if Mo Xuerui was of low status and a concubine, how could she be interested?
"Your Majesty, you can relax! This old slave thinks that the Eldest Prince is a lucky one, and he is very lucky. Among the several princes, this old slave thinks that our Eldest Prince is the only one who is more reliable and has the advantage of the eldest son and the first son. What are you worried about?"

Hearing what Mammy said, the queen felt very comfortable. Although she often scolded the prince, saying that he doesn't know how to make progress, but only knows how to enjoy himself, she still knows in her heart that compared to other princes, the prince is really good. that's it.

It's one thing to think so in your heart, but it's another thing to say it out of your mouth. The queen sighed lightly and said, "What's the use of that? There is a Juelin here as an example, and the emperor and As soon as he made a comparison - it wasn't that Ben Gong underestimated his own son, but the emperor, you also know the emperor, you always compare him with Jue Lin, he has been like this since he was a child, and he doesn't know which one is his real son!"

"Mother, be careful!" Nanny's expression changed.

Although this is Yongle Palace, who knows if this word will be spread?If it gets out, the emperor will definitely be furious and reprimand the empress.

The queen was in a bad mood today, and now she just wanted to say something to vent her depression, she waved her hand when she heard what the nanny said, and said, "It's alright, alright, I know. I'm just talking casually, Besides, this is Yongle Palace, who dares to spread the words of this palace?" He glanced at the people in the hall lightly as he spoke, although it was only a light glance, the knees of the maids serving in the hall softened .

"Your Majesty is aware that the servant girl is loyal to your Majesty, and she will never do anything to betray her!"

"Okay, let's go!" The queen waved her hand.

"Mother, who made you angry again? I heard your voice from a long distance away." The eldest prince came in with big strides, and said with a smile.

The queen's eyes that had just been closed suddenly opened again, and finally a smile appeared on her face. Looking at the eldest prince who walked in, she purposely said with a straight face: "You still know that you want to see the queen mother? Is it true that the queen mother won't let anyone Going to send a message to let you enter the palace, you didn't even know you were going to enter the palace? Do you still have the queen mother in your heart?"

The eldest prince walked up behind the queen and took the position of the nanny, put his hands on her forehead, moved gently, and said with a smile: "My queen, you are sad to say that, and I wish I could do it every day." What about staying with the queen mother? It's just that the son has grown up and can no longer cling to the queen mother like he was a child, and the son has to do something big to impress the father and the queen."

The queen's stern face immediately released, smiled and said: "Okay, you know how to say nice things to coax the queen, but when you turn around, you forget all about it. Come and sit down, the queen has something to talk to you Say." The queen took the eldest prince's hand and sat down in front of her.

After looking carefully, the queen nodded and said: "Well, you are not thin, and your complexion is still ruddy. Seeing you as a mother, the queen is relieved."

"Mother, the sons and servants have grown up and can take care of themselves. Besides, isn't there a princess in the mansion? The mother doesn't have to worry about these trivial matters." The eldest prince said.

The queen snorted coldly and said: "If she can't even do this well, then she is meaningless as a princess! It's fine if you are too busy to enter the palace, and she never entered the palace to pay her respects to the queen. No rules!"

The eldest prince is used to being surprised by his mother's empress saying something bad about the princess every time, and feels a little helpless in his heart.

It was the queen mother who asked him to marry her at the beginning, and now it is the queen mother who despises her. He can't understand what the queen mother thinks.

The eldest prince changed the subject calmly, and asked, "Queen Mother, is there anything important about letting your son enter the palace in such a hurry?"

Asked about the empress's complexion, she immediately became serious, sat up straight, looked at the eldest prince and asked, "Did you see Jue Lin when you entered the palace?"

The eldest prince was stunned, and asked with a broken smile: "Queen, why are you asking that? I just met my second brother on the white jade steps, and my second brother asked me the same thing. It doesn't matter if Jue Lin enters the palace." What's the big deal, what's wrong with you? One or two are asking the same question?"

It was nothing new for Juelin to enter the palace. Even if someone told him that Juelin lived in the palace, he would not find it too novel or too surprised.As long as it happened to Jue Lin, he felt that it was possible. Who made the emperor value and trust Jue Lin so much?

Hearing his casual tone, the queen immediately became angry, gritted her teeth and said, "Can't you pay more attention to it? Use your brain to think about it, this matter is not easy! Don't be so dismissive !"

"Mother, why is it not easy? It's not the first time Jue Lin has entered the palace. He used to stay overnight in the palace! Now it's just a visit to the palace, why be nervous?"

The queen really wanted to reach out and pinch his ear and twist it, to see if it could wake him up.

In the end, he still held back his breath and winked at the nanny next to him. After the blessing, the nanny led everyone back.

Seeing this scene, the First Prince frowned and asked, "Queen Mother, what exactly do you want to say?" It was very mysterious.

"Han'er, listen to what the queen mother told you..." The queen told the first prince about the abnormal situation of Jue Lin's two visits to the palace, and the first prince couldn't help frowning after hearing this.

"Empress Mother, I think it's nothing. Even if Jue Lin never entered the palace in a carriage before, it doesn't mean anything now that he enters the palace in a carriage. Besides, Emperor Father doesn't let anyone get close, maybe Yes, it's because Father wants to talk to Jue Lin, right?" The eldest prince said with some uncertainty.

When the queen heard the words of the eldest prince, she was so angry that she stared at him bitterly and said, "Can't you use your brain? If the emperor just wants to see Jue Lin, it takes such a clever look." Mysterious, is it serious? Even Li Gonggong was screened out, have you ever seen such a situation happen? And the queen mother found out that there were other people who came in with Jue Lin!"

The eldest prince was shocked, "What? There are others?"

Didn't Jue Lin come into the palace alone to meet his father?
"Yes, Jue Lin is not the only one in the palace's carriage! There are other people too, but the people on your father's side are trying to hide who it is, and they can't find out. Last time, the queen mother felt that something was wrong. But I didn't think much about it, but this time, it's not the queen mother's turn to stop thinking about it!" The queen said with a solemn expression.

The eldest prince glanced at his queen mother strangely, with a strange expression on his face, and asked after a while, "Queen mother, even so, you don't have to worry so much, no matter how favored Jue Lin is, he is just a prince of the opposite sex. No matter how much you like him, what if he can still become the son of the royal father? It is impossible for the royal father to pass the throne to a prince of the opposite sex after a hundred years in the future!"

When the queen heard this, she became anxious, and blurted out what was in her heart, and said, "You don't know, Jue Lin belongs to your father—"

I don't know what came to mind, but the queen finally swallowed the words that came to her mouth, her complexion changed again and again, it was very ugly, even the delicate makeup couldn't hide the slumped and gray complexion on her face.

Seeing her ugly expression, the first prince's eyes flickered, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, which was so fleeting that no one could notice it.

"Mother, what's the matter with you? What do you want to say that Jue Lin belongs to the father?" The eldest prince asked tentatively.

The queen looked at her son with a strange expression, she couldn't speak, she opened her mouth and finally shook her head and said: "Nothing, nothing, the queen mother is probably too impatient, talking nonsense, you, you don't have to take it seriously."

That's what he said, but the empress's face was clearly evasive, as if she was hiding some secret.

The eldest prince stared at his mother, the color of his eyes changed unpredictably, and then he said: "Mother, don't think too much, I will pay attention to the matter of Jue Lin, you must not be here What is the clue in front of the father, otherwise the father should say you again."

Seeing the seriousness on the eldest prince's face, the queen relaxed her tense mood, sighed softly and said earnestly, "Han'er, you have to remember that everything the queen mother does is for your own good, and the queen mother will always do it for your own good." It won't hurt you. You should pay more attention to what your mother told you today, you know?"

The eldest prince was silent for a while, then nodded and replied: "Mother, I know, I will pay attention."

The empress stared at the eldest prince for a while before she finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. As long as the emperor is willing to pay attention, she is not afraid that some clues will not be found. The emperor is not just an embroidered pillow that can only be seen. Not as good as Juelin...

Hey, forget it, I don't want Juelin anymore, the more I think about it, the worse it gets.

Putting aside the discomfort in her heart, the empress took the eldest prince's hand and said, "Han'er, you have been married for more than half a year. Why is there no news about the princess's belly? If you can give birth to a son as soon as possible, your father will You will be very happy, this is your father's first grandson! It is of great significance, you have to hold on tight! It is naturally the best to give birth to the eldest son as soon as possible. , Bastards can too!"

The eldest prince frowned, and didn't quite agree with the empress mother's words, and said: "Empress mother, the son already has a concubine, how can the concubine be born before the concubine? It's not proper, absolutely not. If this is the case, the emperor probably won't." You will be happy, but you may feel that your minister has broken the rules and etiquette, so the gain is not worth the loss. And if the concubine is born first, how do you make outsiders think of your minister?"

The queen frowned and thought for a while before she had to say: "Han'er, what you said is also reasonable. It's because the queen mother is too impatient and didn't think carefully."

But he frowned again, his face full of dissatisfaction, "But you have to talk about your princess when you go back. It's been more than half a year since your wedding, and there is still no news about your stomach. Earlier, the imperial physician I went to have a look, but I didn’t like it, and said what happened to the mother, didn’t the mother also do it for you? Look who is like you, and there is no news of the wedding for so long! I don’t know if it’s..."

The queen swallowed the second half of the sentence angrily, thinking that there was no need to say that, wouldn't she be cursing her own Haner?
"Han'er, the empress thinks it's better to invite the imperial doctor to visit your mansion. If it's a physical problem, it can be taken care of earlier. If it's not, it's for the future." The queen persuaded.

This time the eldest prince did not hesitate and nodded in response: "Okay, queen mother, you can let the imperial physician go out of the palace to visit the mansion some other day, I will tell Qing'er when I go back."

The queen was very happy with the eldest prince's performance today, and felt that he had finally enlightened. Unlike the previous times when he kept evading when talking about these things, this time he finally listened to her words.

The queen showed a smile on her face, she patted the eldest prince's hand and said: "Okay, go back and talk to Qing'er properly, the queen mother did this for your own good, if you can give birth to your father's eldest grandson as soon as possible, In front of your father, your status will also be improved, which will only benefit you and not harm you! You are beautiful, you are well, can she not follow? She will only be well when you are well, I hope she understands this truth , she is now a member of our royal family, she must remember this!"

Don't always think that you are still a young lady who has not left the cabinet. Your mother's family can be relied on for a while, but not forever!In the end, women rely on their husbands!Fortunately, she is still thinking about her mother's family!She was counting on her to help the emperor's son, but she was expecting the emperor's son to help her natal family, putting the cart before the horse!

The eldest prince said with a good temper: "Mother, Qing'er is only young, so sometimes she is a little willful, but she still thinks of Erchen in her heart, and she is actually very anxious in her heart. It was Erchen who comforted her and said no. It doesn't matter, you have to take your time with the matter of the heirs, don't rush, don't blame Qing'er, queen mother."

The queen glared at the eldest prince angrily, and said, "Just protect her!"

The eldest prince hurriedly said flatteringly: "The sons and ministers also protect the queen mother!"

The queen was immediately amused by the words of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince got up and left after talking with the queen for a while in Yongle Palace.
