Chapter 98
The emperor's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and then he said with a smile: "Lingshan, it's too early to talk about this issue now, and it's still not sure whether the child in your womb is a prince or a princess?"

Unexpectedly, Concubine Ning pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "The concubine has a hunch that he must be a prince."

"Then let's talk about it after birth." It seemed that the emperor didn't want to talk about the issue of establishing a crown prince, but Concubine Ning, who was dazzled by fame and fortune, couldn't see the emperor's displeasure, and chased after this sensitive topic.

"Your Majesty, can't you promise to my concubine? The concubine has only been in the palace for half a year, and she has conceived a child for the emperor. Looking at the harem, only the concubine is pregnant now. This is your first child, and it can be regarded as a legitimate son. You should be the crown prince smoothly, right?" Concubine Ning was a little anxious.

Her uncle, Prime Minister Ning, had already visited her before, talked to her a lot, and told her to hold the emperor's heart, once she gave birth to a prince, it is possible that he would be the one who will inherit the world in the future.

But Concubine Ning was so happy that she forgot about her uncle's advice, and even brought it up on her own initiative. She seemed to have overlooked that it was good to be given by others, and it seemed impolite to ask for it by herself.

The emperor slowly let go of his arms around Concubine Ning, looked at her seriously and said, "I never promise anything to others, and I want to remind you that only children born to queens are called sons-in-law, understand?"

The emperor, who usually seems gentle, has sharp eyes at this time, as if he could see through a person's heart. Concubine Ning is a little dissatisfied. Although she is not a queen, as long as she gives birth to a prince, she will be one sooner or later. How can the emperor say such a thing? It breaks her heart.

So she raised her head unconvinced and retorted: "Your majesty, my concubines are not convinced. The empress has been married to the emperor for more than five years and has not given birth to a son and a half for the emperor. What qualifications does she have to be a queen? Why don't you let Xian never mind."

The emperor's pupils tightened, and he frowned and said: "Ning Lingshan, if your words are heard by the queen mother, you will die."

Hearing what the emperor said, Concubine Ning was a little scared. She knew that Empress Dowager He had always disliked her for two reasons. The first was because she had a bad temper, and she could be said to be the most domineering concubine in the harem. The second was more important. It was because she was Prime Minister Ning's niece, and she came from the Ning family, the number one nobleman in Tianmu Kingdom.

Empress Dowager He managed to support her son to the throne back then. How could she let her son face the situation of foreign relatives' dictatorship? That's why Empress Dowager He chose Shen Bilan, who has no family background but has loyal ministers, to be the queen. Anyone with a discerning eye knows why The thing is, not to mention that Concubine Ning is not yet born, I don't know if it is a boy or a girl, even if it is a boy, it will definitely not be the candidate for the crown prince.

It's just that Concubine Ning can't see through all of this. She always thought that as long as the emperor loves her, she can do whatever she wants, but she doesn't know that the emperor doesn't love her. It's all different.

"Your majesty, the concubine knows that the Queen Mother has always disliked the concubine, but it is enough for the emperor to be kind to the concubine. We are a family of three, and we will live happily together in the future. No one will be able to separate us, okay?" Concubine Ning looked The emperor got a little angry, and immediately cast a charm, disguised himself as a kitten, and curled up in the emperor's arms.

A family of three, these four words make the emperor want to laugh. When he was five years old, he knew that he would be the emperor in the future. At that time, he had already given up the happiness that belongs to the common people. How could the emperor have a family of three? He has plenty There are thousands of miles of land and people in the world, but he can't make his words so clear.

The emperor just patted Concubine Ning's head lightly: "Lingshan, don't talk about this matter in the future, just let nature take its course, if it's your thing, you'll get it, if it's not yours, you can't get it by force Yes, and it can backfire.”

Concubine Ning was a little confused, but she still nodded her head pretendingly: "Yes, I understand."

After Concubine Ning fell asleep, the emperor came out of Lingbo Palace, and immediately the little eunuch from the cleaning room came over, holding many signs and asking the emperor to turn 3.

But unexpectedly, the emperor just said lightly: "I will stay in the Imperial Study Room today."

Everyone immediately understood that the emperor didn't want to turn over the name of any empress...

Inside the imperial study
As soon as the emperor walked in, Blast followed him in. The emperor smiled helplessly: "Blast, you are late at night, can you pay attention to your image? If someone sees you, and you enter my room in the middle of the night, the common people will not come back." There is a topic."

Haifeng smiled and said: "I can think of what the common people said, it is nothing more than saying that the emperor likes male favourites recently."

"You kid still has the guts to say, tell me quickly, what do you want me for, and get out of here, I don't want to be accused of having broken sleeves, our Xigong imperial family can just send out a broken sleeve, I don't need to come Join in the fun." The emperor said jokingly.

Haifeng knew that the emperor was mocking Huai Wang Xigongmo implicitly. The people all over the world knew that Xigongmo didn't like women, and would hang out and drink with men all day long.

But these are not the point, the point is that he came here late at night to tell the emperor a strange thing.

"Your Majesty, my subordinate wants to tell you about a strange incident that happened in Bianjing recently." Gai Feng began to get down to business.

"Okay, I happen to be very bored recently, so tell me what's going on in Bianjing recently? Is it because Zhang's dog eloped with Li's cow, or did the little pig from Mrs. Wang's house next door give birth to a baby? A little piggy." The emperor asked while flipping through those insignificant memorials.

Gaifeng sweated suddenly... If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, who would have thought that those words were spoken by the emperor, the dignified Ninety-five Lord, this scene is a bit ridiculous.

"Ahem...the emperor, my subordinates are not kidding, you will be very interested after listening to your subordinates." Gaifeng seemed to be more interested than the emperor, and he spoke with gusto.

"Oh, is that so? Listen to what you said, so let's listen to it." The emperor ordered without raising his head.

Gaifeng immediately said: "Your Majesty, recently opened a teahouse in Bianjing City. It is not luxurious, and it is not located in the downtown area. It is located at the south gate of the city, which is a bit remote, but after a few days of opening, it was full all day long. You can’t get a seat and can only wait in line outside, don’t you think it’s strange?”

"What's so strange about this? It means that the owner of the teahouse is a business genius. Why do I think it's worth your fuss?" Apparently, the emperor didn't think it was incredible. On the contrary, Haifeng was too excited.

"Your subordinate hasn't finished talking yet. Don't worry. There are two main reasons why this teahouse is so popular. First, I heard that a few days ago, the owner of the teahouse personally went to Jiuqufang to invite a taster. Qin Fengliu, the emperor, you know best, Qin Fengliu has a strange temper, and even rejected your invitation several times, let alone a small teahouse, but the blame is that Qin Fengliu not only went, but also closed My own Jiuqufang is now playing the piano and performing arts in that small teahouse every day." Haifeng finished the first reason in one breath.

The emperor started to feel a little restless now, he put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head in a daze: "Is there such a thing?"

He knew Qin Fengliu very well. According to legend, he was the number one student of Tianyinzi's sect. He was extremely talented in music and had an extremely arrogant temper. When the Queen Mother celebrated her birthday, he even invited him several times, but was rejected. Of course, he was the emperor. You can force him to come here, but he doesn't want to do it. He's afraid that if he does, Qin Fengliu will leave Bianjing in a fit of anger. He won't even have the chance to appreciate it, but he didn't expect Qin Fengliu to close Jiuqufang now. , committing himself to a small tea house, there must be something strange about it.

"What about the second?" The emperor was completely aroused by the wind this time, and began to ask.

"The second thing is, Miss Qingling of Hanjingxuan, you are familiar with the emperor, right? That girl Qingling also went to the small teahouse without a sound, and Gao Hong, the boss of Hanjingxuan, even brought a group of people with her. Going to make trouble, but was stopped by His Royal Highness King Huai and King Heng."

The emperor nodded: "It seems that this teahouse is owned by either the third child or the fifth child. These two guys know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and they don't help me share state affairs."

Gaifeng shook his head: "The emperor guessed wrong, if it was the teahouse opened by King Huai and King Heng, the subordinates would not say anything, but it was not opened by the two princes, but they are regular customers and come here almost every day .”

"Oh? They didn't open it, so who else could it be? Could it be the second child?" The emperor couldn't even convince himself when he said this, because he knew the character of Jue Nishinomiya very well, and he was not so bored as to run to open it. tea house.

"It's not King Ryan, but... it's related to him." Gaifeng smiled mysteriously.

"Oh? It's her." The emperor immediately realized who it was. Thinking of this, he smiled: "She really surprised me, she can invite Qin Fengliu and Qingling."

"Yeah, my subordinates are also surprised, she doesn't look like a woman capable of doing great things, but I don't know, this really makes us look at each other differently." Gaifeng said in agreement.

"You don't understand, she is a very stubborn woman, and she has a disobedient spirit in her bones." The emperor smiled gently, as if he was in a particularly good mood every time he talked about her.

"Then since she is so good, why is her sister left out?" Gai Feng asked in a roundabout way.

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Haifeng: "Gaofeng, have you been itchy lately, and you dare to teach me a lesson?"

"I don't dare, but I think it's a pity that the emperor neglected that stunning beauty. It wasn't the emperor who brought her here at the beginning. Isn't it justified now?"

"That's what she asked for. At the beginning... Forget it, I don't bother to take care of these things. In the past few days, you should pay close attention to me, and report immediately if there is any disturbance."

Haifeng put away his smile, and returned to his command seriously on one knee: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

"Fengfeng... It seems that I will leave the palace soon." The emperor suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"Oh? Why?" Haifeng didn't understand what the master meant.

"Because... I want to drink tea." The emperor raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly.

Instantly, Gaifeng immediately understood. He followed the emperor since he was a child, and followed him for more than ten years, but he never could guess his master's heart.

Jinxi at He Nian Tea House

As soon as Ye Anran came in in the morning, Qiniang complained: "Master, you are here, please go and see Master Qin, he may be on strike today."

"Oh? What's going on?" Ye Anran was at a loss.

"He was drunk last night, and he still hasn't woken up in the backyard. In the morning, guests came to drink tea and listen to the piano, but he refused." Qiniang was obviously complaining to Ye Anran.

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look now." Ye Anran knew that Qin Fengliu would not go on strike for no reason, so something must have happened.
