The cute master who always attacks the queen

Chapter 148 The Last Candidate

Seeing that it was the fourth prince, the queen put down the scroll in her hand: "It's rare for me to be in such a mood today, and accompany me to the imperial garden to bask in the sun."

The maid at the side hurriedly came up, "Your Majesty..."

The queen waved her hand: "No need, it's enough to have Zhen'er. My wife and I can also say a few words about ourselves."

As far as the imperial garden, the two of them walked leisurely in the courtyard. The fourth prince supported her and said, "The flowers in the imperial garden are all in bloom. It can be said to be colorful and beautiful."

The queen glanced at him, and said with deep meaning: "There are more beautiful scenery in this harem than this, it depends on whether our fourth elder brother has any heart?"

The Fourth Prince felt a little ridiculous: "Emiang..."

"It's been lively in the palace these two days, but you don't care about it at all. Those women's pretentiousness and charm are all in vain."

"My son really doesn't have the heart."

"Then what is it worth Si elder brother's attention?" Mingming was still smiling, but a look made the fourth prince's heart tremble, and he lowered his head in fear, and then raised it again.

Even so, she still couldn't escape the Queen's eyes, she smiled: "I still remember when you were young, you were only this tall," she said, and the Queen stretched out her hand to measure the height, her eyes were a little confused: "At that time you You are small, and you are taken by the mother in the palace every day. On that day, you accidentally ran to my Kunning Palace. I was still sleeping under the wisteria trellis. You just lay on the table by yourself, repeatedly I climbed up just to eat chestnut soup, and I thought at the time, this kid is not afraid of life at all, and if he can persevere like this, he will become a success when he grows up."

"At that time... the concubine mother passed away. It can be said that I and the nanny were dependent on each other. The months in the palace are so limited. Some favored concubines want more, and some servants hide more. How much is left? One Elder brother who no one cares about, in the end we got very little, actually, before that, I met Er Niang once, Er Niang must not know."

"Oh, when?"

"Although my mother and I will not starve to death, we can't eat anything delicious. That time I saw a few servants passing by carrying a few food plates. The smell from the plates was very fragrant. Following them quietly, there was a person eating under the wisteria trellis, dressed in a water-blue flag dress, and there were some snacks at the door, light pink and delicious, I was very greedy at the time, but my mind gradually shifted from pastries to pastries There was an unattainable appearance on that person. Then I would often run there, until one day, when I saw her falling asleep, I felt that she was no longer so high, and I had the courage to run forward. "

The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "This imperial palace is not as beautiful as outsiders think. In a crowded place, the most unavoidable thing is disputes. However, as the heir of the emperor, the prince at that time enjoyed a completely different life from you. For this Everything, have you never complained, and have you ever hated the unfairness of the emperor?"

The fourth prince was very silent, and the queen was not annoyed, she still kept her original smile and didn't look back at him.

"If... I didn't meet Er Niang, I would resent and hate, but before I reached the age to resent, Er Niang had completely wiped out all my resentment."

"When everything becomes the general trend, going against the current requires too much price. Whether it's the eunuchs or the maids, they all lose their conscience. They just stand out from the crowd, and those who are denounced as aliens can only be the cranes, even if they are far away. It is much more precious than a chicken, so don't criticize anyone who must act according to his own thoughts."

"My son understands."

"Who doesn't like the innocent and happy years of their first days, no worries, no troubles, every day, even the corners of their eyes can smile, but it can't be done, being there, each different environment requires different characters, so sometimes personal joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys are really not important. At this moment, what is needed is Empress Defei."

"My mother..."

"I remember that when I went out of the palace in spite of everything, I only had the emperor in my heart. I just wanted to come back and be by his side again. But after I left the palace, I realized that the emperor was not the only one I was thinking about. The person I think of the most is you, thinking about you as a child, whether the people in the palace can take good care of you, thinking about it now, the situation at that time is still vivid in my memory, now that you are so old, many things have changed, You are no longer that child..." For a moment, the Queen's face froze, and her tone was unusually sharp: "Tell me whether the recent rumors about the prince are related to you?"

The fourth prince could feel the sweat coming out of his back. He didn't dare to speak for a long time, and he didn't know how to speak. Emiang and his father were deeply in love, and what he had done was treasonous in her opinion. Well, how should I choose, to say, or not to say?
"Say!"

"——Yes!" The Fourth Prince gritted his teeth and finally said it. Although he could imagine the queen's anger, he still decided to tell the truth, and he was ready for the ensuing censure.

After he said this, the surrounding condensation became more and more severe, and the fourth prince did not dare to raise his head until a soft laugh broke out.

"Do you know? If you said no just now, what followed would be the imperial decree that the fourth elder brother was sent to Henan, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without permission."

The queen stood up, and the fourth prince raised his head to look at her. He was dressed in a pale yellow flag uniform, just like he was in the past, making people dare not stare at him: "The prince can't be dismissed. It's not the right time yet. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Don't look at it now." The forces under the table are intriguing, but they will not have the last laugh. The real winners do not rely on poaching others' walls, but on expanding their own power, but they do not show the mountains and rivers, so that people cannot pick your thorns."

"Emiang..." The fourth prince couldn't hide his surprise.

"Whether it's the Yuehuang noble concubine or the empress, this is not the time for her to show up. What I want at this time is the Virtuous Concubine, who understands righteousness and kills relatives with righteousness.

"But the fourteenth brother is your biological son, and his name is right and proper."

"For me, I have said from the very beginning that in my eyes, there is no difference between the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother. They are both my sons. , although Tier is also capable, but under the pampering of everyone, he also has a willful and mischievous side-you are more suitable for this throne than Tier. I don't care, and those who know, what they want is the prosperity of the family and their own power. You know, people who don't know still account for the majority, so it doesn't make any difference, as long as you marry someone from their family Just a reassurance, daughter—you should know what I mean."

The fourth prince was very confused, he was not clear about many aspects, but no matter how much he wanted to ask, he would not ask about the process, if he wanted to ask, he would only ask about the result: "Then who is the final candidate?"

It was Jun Xin, and the corner of the Queen's mouth was already smiling after hearing that.
