Facing the cold wind, Qi Yi stepped into Tianyi Palace.

At this time, the empress was sitting on a phoenix chair looking at the portrait spread out in front of her.She smiled lightly when she saw the prince come in and beckoned him to sit beside her, but she couldn't hide the anger in her eyes.

"Yi'er, come and take a look at these portraits. These are portraits sent by the ministers. The queen mother will pick a few for you. Take a look. You are old and not young, it's time to get married." The queen showed the portraits in front of her. Pushing it in front of Qi Yi, the queen laughed, but there was a bit of irresistibility in her tone, but also a blunt meaning.

Unwillingly and helplessly, Qi Yi glanced at the picture scroll, only to see all kinds of beauties on the picture scroll, some are delicate and some are charming, they not only have everyone's beautiful temperament, but also have their own charm.

The queen took a panoramic view of his expressions, and pointed to one of the pictures while maintaining the smile on her face, "This palace looks good, Lin Xin, the daughter of General Lin, has red lips and grinning teeth, and a beautiful appearance. Looking forward to brilliance, knowing the book and being courteous, it can be said that it is powdery, crisp, melting and delicate, and the wind blows the fairy coat fluttering."

Qi Yi's face twitched. In fact, the queen mother had already arranged for him the candidate for the crown princess, and he had no right to choose at all.A pile of portraits for him to choose, in fact, is just to make him feel that he is not a puppet, and he still has the right to choose.In fact, even if he really chooses from among them, if it is not the candidate in the Queen Mother's mind, the Queen Mother will have a lot of reasons to oppose it.So, it doesn't matter whether you choose or not.And the reason why he hasn't married yet is because the timing is not ripe enough, or he is still a more desirable candidate.

Now, she finally has a candidate she likes, that is, the daughter of General Lin Jihong who holds a heavy hand in the imperial court.

Qi Yi looked away from the portrait, but his mother said again, "How is it? Do you still like General Lin's daughter? The mother really likes this little girl. Do you remember that year, she When his father entered the palace, the cute appearance, do you still remember this palace?"

As she spoke, she held the portrait in her hand and looked at it, her smile drowning out her anger.

"Empress mother, son-in-law doesn't want to get married yet."

The movement of the Queen's hands froze, and then she smiled and said: "You are not too young, and there has been no one for the position of the Crown Princess. Now, the daughter of General Lin has also reached the age of marriage, and she is quite suitable for you. According to my mother, Lin Xin is the most suitable for you in this court. The sooner this marriage can be arranged, the better, and I will discuss with your father on another day, choose an auspicious day, and choose a day to get married."

"Mother!" Qi Yi was a little annoyed, it was the first time he acted like this in front of his mother, "I don't know what kind of person that Lin Xin is at all, could it be that just based on a portrait, just based on her identity, we Are you going to marry her? Not everyone can easily take the position of Crown Princess."

"It's up to you." The queen looked at him with a slightly sullen expression, "You are the crown prince of the Daxing Dynasty, and you have a great responsibility. The choice of the crown princess is also not sloppy. Now, the queen mother has chosen a candidate for you, your responsibility It is to get married immediately, and let the future crown princess supervise you and stabilize your position as crown prince."

Qi Yi's body froze, and he looked at his queen mother with complicated eyes. She has always been in charge of everything about him, including his thoughts.

"Okay, the queen mother has asked your opinion on this matter, so you step back first." As she spoke, she threw the scroll in her hand onto the table and waved her hand to signal him to go back.

"Why, what else is there?" She noticed that he sat silently, hesitant to speak, and did not get up.

Qi Yi hesitated for a moment. He has been in Tianyi Palace for so long, but he didn't see Eunuch Chuan in front of him. If he used to, every time he came to Tianyi Palace, Eunuch Chuan would always be by his side. This time he was not there, which made him a little sure of him. He asked the queen, "Queen mother, where is your eunuch, Eunuch Chuan? Why isn't he waiting by the side?"

Hearing this, the queen's eyes flashed a gloomy look, "Recently, the queen mother has a bad appetite, so she sent Xiao Chuanzi to the imperial dining room to prepare some food for the palace. Do you have anything to do with Xiao Chuanzi?"

"It's okay, but every time I come here, I can see Xiaochuanzi, but I didn't see it today, so I feel a little confused." The corners of Qi Yi's mouth twitched a few times.

"Then if you have nothing to do, you can step back. The queen mother is tired and wants to rest."

"Mother, did you send someone to Yuyang Palace?" He hesitated, but still asked.He vaguely felt that it was a little unusual, but he couldn't say what was unusual.

"Why do you ask this suddenly? This Yuyang Palace is the bedroom of your father's favorite son, Brother Qi. How could I send someone to his bedroom without incident? Why, what is missing in his bedroom?" The Queen His hand froze slightly, then he took care of the portrait in front of him instead of looking at him.She knew that it would not be so easy for him to come today, and she was already annoyed when she heard him get close to the maid.Just after sending people to Yuyang Palace to capture the maid, they became anxious and found her Tianyi Palace.The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.

"I didn't lose anything, I just lost someone." Qi Yi said carefully, staring closely at his mother's expression, trying to find a clue.

"Joke, he lost someone in Yuyang Palace, you come to Tianyi Palace to ask your queen mother, what kind of logic is this? Could it be that he lost something in Yuyang Palace, it has to be related to Tianyi Palace. You don't know , Bengong will never go to his Yuyang Palace. Isn’t it a joke that he lost someone in his palace and asked me to ask for someone? Who is lost in his palace? I want you to confront the queen.” She was mentally prepared, and her expression was not the slightest waver.

"Someone saw Xiao Chuanzi who was in front of the Queen Mother taking away a maid from the Yuyang Palace yesterday, so I came to ask the Queen Mother if there was such a thing." He saw that her expression didn't change much. , doesn't seem to be lying to him.If Yan Yan hadn't been arrested by the queen mother, then he wouldn't have to worry about Yan Yan's safety.

"A court lady, you just come here to question your mother? You are becoming more and more presumptuous now, and you don't care about government affairs, but care about court ladies. Do you still look like a prince?" Only a clatter was heard. There was a sound, Qi Yi raised his head in surprise, and saw the queen stood up with an ugly face, and because of anger, she brushed the picture scroll on the table to the ground, and the picture scroll immediately lay on the ground in a mess, with the distorted face on it. with.

"Mother, did you send someone to kidnap this court lady? If it was really brought by the queen, I beg the queen to let me..." He roared excitedly. The expression of the queen was really abnormal. The most important thing is that they were taken captive to Tianyi Palace, and those words would most likely be tortured by the queen mother.Thinking about it, he became even more uneasy.

With a "slap", the Queen's slap slapped his face, interrupting his words.

I saw the angry queen staring at him, with an ugly expression on her face, "Don't look at me for not taking good care of you during this time, you will become more and more presumptuous. You dare to question what the queen mother said. What's more I don't even know what court lady you're talking about. Even if I really captured her, then my majestic queen of the Daxing Dynasty can't even deal with a court lady. If you say this, won't you be afraid of the world's ridicule? And you are a prince, You don’t care about major affairs in the world, but care about the safety of a little maid, do you still look like a prince, are you worthy of the crown prince that this palace has worked so hard to win for you?”

"The queen mother..." He still wanted to say something, but seeing the queen's complexion became more and more ugly, he had no choice but to leave Tianyi Palace.Maybe it really wasn't his mother's fault.

As soon as he left Tianyi Palace, Xiao Chuanzi walked to the side of the queen with a solemn expression.

"What's the matter?" Still angry, the queen stepped on those scrolls, turned around and sat on the phoenix chair.

"Back to your mother, that girl is not only eloquent, but also very strict. No matter how interrogated by the slave, she didn't say a single useful word. The slave didn't dare to torture her too much, but just whipped her a few times." Xiao Chuanzi on the side hated His teeth were itchy, and when he spoke words, he became angry. Thinking of her scolding him so unscrupulously, he even had the urge to kill her.

"Can you find out where she came from?" The queen recalled the appearance of that girl, and then thought of her son who had exhausted all her efforts to help her become the crown prince, and a killing intent surged in her heart.If anyone affects the prince's future, she can kill him without mercy, not to mention that she is a little maid, and it is easy to kill Haoli.

"That girl never said who ordered her to seduce His Highness the Crown Prince, but from this interrogation process, I know that the girl would rather endure the pain of whipping than drag Seventh Brother into the water .So, the slave feels..." Xiao Chuanzi carefully looked around, and leaned closer to the Queen's ear.

The Queen's complexion gradually softened, and finally she even laughed out loud. She picked up a portrait on the ground, stared at Lin Xin in the portrait, and said with a smile: "Okay, it seems that I have not misjudged you, go and replace me. deal with this."

"Zha", Xiao Chuanzi smiled and nodded.Seeing the queen staring at the portrait in her hand, her eyes were full of satisfaction, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Ma'am, isn't this Lin Xin, the daughter of General Lin? She is really beautiful, and she has a prominent family background. Those who are worthy of our Crown Prince will definitely be able to help His Royal Highness in the future."

"You also think that she will be helpful to the crown prince in the future, and I have also taken a liking to her father, General Lin, and she is so graceful, so she is the most suitable for the position of crown princess." It seemed that she had forgotten everything just now, The queen is immersed in her carefully arranged bureau.

"It's time for His Highness the Crown Prince to get married. Is Your Majesty trying to match the Crown Prince and this Lin Xin? If His Highness the Crown Prince can marry this Miss Lin Xin, plus General Lin's status in the court, then His Highness the Crown Prince will have no choice but to marry this Lin Xin." Don't worry about the future." He hurriedly said beside him.

"That's right, I do have this idea." There was an inscrutable smile on the Queen's face.
