palace heart

Chapter 60
He would not throw Prince Chengxian to Prince Gao, and her morale increased. Emperor Ying was not angry or annoyed, smiled, and answered respectfully: "The empress mother is right, this child Chengxian is too emotional. Delicate, since sending Liu Zhaorong back from the funeral, Prince Chengxian's body has been in a bad state. Although he refused to admit it, the minister knows that Liu Zhaorong's illness and death have aroused his feelings of longing for his mother. According to the emperor According to the regulations, after the death of the biological mother, the prince can be adopted by the emperor's other concubines, but only Empress Zheng is the only one of my concubines. I am afraid that they don't understand the mind of children, and they will not be able to take care of Prince Chengxian. If he is wronged, Didn't the son let down the queen's spirit in heaven again?"

The relationship between Emperor Ying and the Empress is another matter, but Prince Chengxian is his own flesh and blood, and his only child. The object of all the concubines' wooing, all of them want to use the power of Prince Chengxian to win the empress's honor.Concubine Wu had revealed this to him, and he would not let any of them have a chance to succeed, including the empress dowager Gao who was aloof at this time.

"Hey..." After hearing this, Empress Dowager Gao sighed, with a look of pity on her face: "The same goes for the emperor's concubines. The family immediately asked Zhong Shanggong and learned about Liu Zhaorong's life background. Although her status is a bit low, she has a good personality and temper, and the emperor also loves her. Aijia wanted to spend some time with her. The emperor mentioned that he asked Liu Zhaorong to accept Prince Chengxian, so that Liu Zhaorong would have someone he could rely on, and Prince Chengxian would also have someone who could serve him filially in the future, but I didn't expect... hey..."

Although Liu Ruyun is Li Qianlan's friend, Li Qianlan also doesn't know about Liu Ruyun. In fact, Liu Ruyun was bought by Empress Dowager Gao long ago, and she was sent to Li Qianlan's side to monitor Li Qianlan's actions.

Later, Yu Rong died, and Empress Dowager Gao lost a chess piece, so she let Liu Ruyun out, let her seduce the emperor and seduce the lord, and when her position was stabilized, she assigned Prince Chengxian to her side. Prince Chengxian will become the new Yurong, a new pawn of Empress Dowager Gao.

Overthrowing Emperor Ying and supporting Prince Chengxian is a matter of course. Who would know that it was her Empress Dowager Gao who was making trouble. Yan Shun listened to the government behind the curtain, took control of the imperial power, and fulfilled his lifelong wish.

But Empress Dowager Gao did not expect that Liu Ruyun would be so short-lived, and was killed by Emperor Ying in just two days, forcing Empress Dowager Gao to use other means to control Prince Chengxian, because Prince Chengxian was the last one who could The person who helped Empress Dowager Gao realize her wish.

Emperor Ying knew about Empress Dowager Gao's ambitions, if he hadn't been jealous of her power, he would have sent Empress Dowager Gao to the mountain to serve the Lord Buddha, and now he heard Empress Dowager Gao mention Liu Ruyun's matter again, he felt very unhappy and sank With a bit of a face, he said: "Mother, don't worry, the prince is surrounded by a grand master, a grand tutor, a grand protector, and a wet nurse..."

Empress Dowager Gao was not a vegetarian either, so she snatched Emperor Ying's words: "The Taishi educates the Prince's culture, the Taifu teaches the Prince's martial arts, and the Taibao protects the Prince's safety. No matter how good they are, they are all the Prince's teachers. According to the rules, the nurse immediately left the palace. The nurse watched the prince grow up, and she was careful, but she was far behind in terms of knowledge and cultivation, and could not educate Prince Chengxian's usual behavior. Prince Chengxian is the future monarch, and all aspects cannot be ignored, including The usual words and deeds and the way of being a human being."

Emperor Ying's face darkened, and he exploded on the spot, and his voice couldn't help raising his voice a few times: "What does the empress mean, after all, to force the son and minister to become an empress?"

Empress Dowager Gao straightened her body, and also amplified her voice, overpowering the voice of Emperor Ying: "Either establish the existing concubines in the palace, or marry a new one."

Emperor Ying broke the topic and said: "Just now, the empress mother also said that there is no suitable concubine to take care of Prince Chengxian, so the empress mother still wants her son to marry a woman from the Gao family or the Shen family."

Empress Dowager Gao raised her eyebrows: "That may not be impossible, but the Aijia is just a suggestion, and the final decision is still in the hands of the emperor."

Emperor Ying sighed: "My empress has been married to me for more than ten years. To show my love for the empress, I have decided not to consider the matter of becoming an empress for half a year..."

Empress Dowager Gao did not expect Emperor Ying to be so ignorant, she gritted her teeth angrily, and interrupted him: "You..."

Emperor Ying didn't wait for Empress Dowager Gao to have a chance to refute, and then continued the topic: "But regarding the matter of Prince Chengxian, the queen mother is right. It's the minister who neglected these small details, but the minister will give the queen mother a satisfactory answer." Win After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his head to look outside the door and raised his voice, "Li Xiuyi."

Li Qianlan stood outside, and more or less heard some words along the wind. Seeing Emperor Ying calling out, she understood what he meant, and she called out good things in her heart. In front of Emperor Ying: "The minister is here."

"Li Qianlan comes from a famous family. He is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I will now make you the county lord, confer the maidservant, and serve as the crown prince. You will be a second-rank official and temporarily live in the East Palace." Emperor Ying finished speaking in one breath, and turned his head to look Empress Dowager Gao provocatively said: "I don't know if the queen mother is satisfied with this arrangement."

"Satisfied, how can Aijia be dissatisfied with the emperor's arrangement!" Empress Dowager Gao glared at the emperor and snorted angrily, then walked away with a burst of anger.

Emperor Ying didn't ask much about the other things, he stood there and watched the Empress Dowager Gao until she went into the cabinet, and then he led Xi Gonggong out of the Dexuan Palace, looking like a victorious bird returning from the battlefield rooster.

Back in the cabinet, Empress Dowager Gao immediately came to the window, and she searched for Li Qianlan from the group of people who had left through the paper window.

Li Qianlan's back was petite and straight, thin but firm. Empress Dowager Gao looked at her and nodded slightly. She looked angry just now, but now she raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sinister smile that succeeded in plotting.

"The empress dowager is wise, she made the emperor fall into the trap without moving a single soldier." Zhong Shanggong, who was beside him, saw this and delivered his flattery in time.

Empress Dowager Gao's beautiful eyes swept away, and dark and sharp eyes flashed.

Forcing Emperor Ying to establish a queen, this is also the decision made by Empress Dowager Gao after repeated consideration. In fact, she left four choices for Emperor Ying just now.

The first one is to establish the existing concubines in the palace as queens.

The second is to marry another famous family as the queen.

The third is that she personally took over the raising of Prince Chengxian.

No matter who Emperor Ying chooses to be the queen, Empress Dowager Gao will secretly take action to end the life of the new queen, and finally force Emperor Ying to take the daughter of the Gao family as queen.If no one is established as Emperor Ying, then Empress Dowager Gao will enroll Prince Chengxian in the Hall of Dexuan for enlightenment in the name of grandma.

Emperor Ying deserves to be the Ninth Five-Year Lord, smart enough, he easily avoided the trap of Empress Dowager Gao, but he did not expect that the result of his handling of the problem was the fourth choice that Empress Dowager Gao left for him.

Because of Liu Ruyun's death, Empress Dowager Gao decided to use Li Qianlan again, and she wanted Li Qianlan to take over all of Liu Ruyun's work.Li Qianlan's intelligence and beauty are all above Liu Ruyun's, and Li Qianlan has another key point that she can use, that is, her deep hatred with Emperor Ying. As long as Empress Dowager Gao uses a little trick, she will be hostile to Emperor Ying and cooperate with Empress Dowager Gao again Yes, this time it's cooperation, not coercion as before, because Empress Dowager Gao no longer has a sharp weapon to threaten Li Qianlan.

Empress Dowager Gao had a deep thought, but she also knew that if she took the initiative to ask Emperor Ying to choose Li Qianlan, Emperor Ying would definitely have doubts and conflicts, and then use various reasons to refuse, so she waited. Emperor Ying jumped in. Unexpectedly, he really jumped into the trap automatically, and willingly sealed Li Qianlan's second-rank official!
Everything is voluntary by you, so what can you call my queen mother!
"Hahahaha..." Empress Dowager Gao thought of her pride, and laughed flamboyantly and wildly: "In this world, it is impossible to escape the hands of Aijia. If you fight with Aijia, you are still a little bit worse to win the emperor."

"When is the Empress Dowager going to find Li Qianlan?" Zhong Shangshu smiled wickedly, with two big yellow front teeth sticking out, like a mouse.
