The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Now the entire harem was under the control of Meng Wenyao. After many inquiries, Meng Wenyao soon learned that the imperial concubine had indeed hidden Meng Wenxian in Jiaofang Hall.

Moreover, the imperial concubine asked someone to make a dress that was exactly the same as the dress worn by Concubine Chen on the day she was crowned.

The imperial concubine's plan was obvious. She must have Meng Wenxian wear the same clothes that day, pretend to be Meng Wenyao to do something, and then blame her on Meng Wenyao.

And this matter had better be related to Prince An, so that all three of them would be plotted by the imperial concubine.

I don’t know what strategy the imperial concubine used. It would be great if the crowning ceremony could kill Prince An in one hit.

Meng Wenyao was looking forward to the coronation ceremony.

The Queen Mother has been in a good mood these days. She has taken Meng Wenyao to look at the wealthy ladies in the capital several times. She is planning to choose a concubine for Prince An.

Meng Wenyao looked at these gorgeous ladies and felt a little regretful. How eager they were to become Prince An's concubines now. When she announced her pregnancy, how much these women would hate themselves for becoming Prince An's concubines.

Seeing Meng Wenyao frowning, the Queen Mother said unhappily: "Although you are young, you are indeed the elder of the county king. It is your duty to take care of these things. In the future, after a hundred years as emperor, you will still have to rely on the county king to live your life. "

Meng Wenyao suppressed her nausea and smiled gently: "What the Queen Mother said is exactly what I said. I just think that Prince An's selection of a concubine is of great importance, so I just want to think about it carefully."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt that it made sense, and said calmly: "You are right. Now we are just choosing the princess. In the future, she will be the mother of the dynasty. She cannot be too hasty. She must choose carefully. Her character, family background, talent and love are all important. of."

Meng Wenyao climbed up the pole and said with a smile: "Not only is this woman important, but it is also important whether the family can help the prince. We don't understand the affairs of the court. Why don't we ask the emperor which courtier can take on the big responsibility? Can I be the father-in-law of the county king and assist the county king in the future?"

These words reached the heart of the Queen Mother, and she hurriedly sent people to ask the Emperor to discuss it together.

After the emperor finished his business, he arrived at Changle Palace in the evening, and the three of them had dinner together.

The Queen Mother did not wait for dinner before she hurriedly asked the Emperor: "Which minister in the imperial court does your Majesty think will be able to take on a big responsibility in the future?"

The emperor had just picked up his rice bowl and put down his chopsticks after hearing this. He was a little confused as to why the Queen Mother was so concerned about government affairs.

"All of the six ministers of the imperial court are capable of taking on important responsibilities. Which one is your mother asking?"

The Queen Mother replied seriously: "The Ai family wants to choose a princess for An'er. The princess should be good herself and have a good family background, so that she can assist An'er in the future. But I don't know which minister has a girl of the right age in his family."

Meng Wenyao raised her head and glanced at the emperor, and sure enough she saw his expression change almost imperceptibly.

The Queen Mother used to be busy giving gifts to the Emperor, and the Emperor only felt bored. Now the Queen Mother was busy choosing a concubine for the prince, and he felt deeply disappointed. He had been abandoned by the Queen Mother.

However, since he could not give birth to a child, this matter was not the fault of Prince An, and he did not want to vent his anger.

As the king of a country and an uncle, he still has some tolerance. The emperor thought about it seriously and said: "I will ask the Ministry of Rites to draw up a list someday, and the queen mother will make a good selection from the list."

The Queen Mother was really overjoyed after hearing this. She personally took a chopstick of meat to the Emperor and said warmly: "Don't work too hard. An'er is old. You ask him to help you. If you can rest, don't force yourself."

To ordinary people, these words are indeed considered thoughtful. When the younger generation grows up, they work hard for the older generation.

But this principle does not apply to imperial power. If the imperial power is not firmly in one's hands, can the throne still be secure?

Meng Wenyao didn't know that the Queen Mother didn't understand this, but she was still too happy to talk.

The emperor had no appetite anymore and ate a few mouthfuls of food.

Meng Wenyao was thinking about how to apply eye drops to Prince An, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is really lucky. Next year, four generations will live under the same roof."

These words reminded the Queen Mother, who suddenly stopped her chopsticks and said seriously: "Yes, family background and character are important, but the most important thing is to choose a good child. The Ai family is still waiting to have a great-grandson."

The Queen Mother was so immersed in choosing the future queen for Prince An that she completely forgot to worry about the Emperor.

Meng Wenyao saw the emperor's pale face and thought that if this were the case, you could still treat Prince An as your own son. I really admire you.

The Queen Mother was in a good mood and enjoying the bright future. The Emperor joined in with a few words while Meng Wenyao leisurely fanned the flames.

When they returned to Hanxiang Palace in the evening, the emperor rarely asked for sex, and Meng Wenyao was so happy that she wanted to jump up.

It seems that the emperor is really sad. He is now watching his mother give up on him. Prince An is waiting to take his throne. Everything about him will belong to Prince An.

"Your Majesty, can you allow your concubines to be buried in a hundred years' time?"

As soon as Meng Wenyao's sweet voice fell, the emperor suddenly turned his head and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why? Yao'er."

Nowadays, sacrificial burial is no longer popular in the imperial court. Those are the old rules of the previous dynasty that harmed people.

It is better to die than to live. Who is willing to die alive for others? Meng Wenyao's words completely shocked the emperor.

Meng Wenyao looked at the emperor affectionately, and said with tears in her eyes: "Today the Queen Mother said that in a hundred years from the emperor, I will have to rely on Prince An to live. I don't dare to think about what those days will be. I just want to be with you forever." emperor……"

After saying that, he buried his head in the emperor's arms and sobbed softly.

It should be said that when the emperor was in Changle Palace, he felt a little unhappy after hearing what the Queen Mother said.

Now when Meng Wenyao finished speaking, he fully realized this feeling of powerlessness. After a hundred years, he would not even be able to protect his woman.

The emperor hugged Meng Wenyao tightly, so strong that he could break her waist.

Meng Wenyao was laughing in her heart. She wanted to say to the emperor: "Are you uncomfortable? Do you feel the pain now? Everything you have now only belongs to you temporarily and will eventually belong to Prince An."

How sad the emperor is now, how happy he will be when he has a son in the future. I hope that he can still remember the pain today, which was brought to him by Prince An. Only then can he be ruthless for the sake of his son. Clear the way.

The next day, Prince An was waiting in the imperial study room early in the morning to report to the emperor the progress of the investigation of Wei Quan's case.

Prince An handed the investigation report to the emperor, accompanied by the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple.

Originally, it was a small case that did not require such a big battle, but the person who died was the imperial concubine's nephew, and Prince An was handling it personally. The Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple, who were very knowledgeable about current affairs, came together.

The emperor looked at the investigation results on the paper and a large number of people involved in the case, and his heart was filled with anger.

Wei Quan was clearly ordered to be killed by him personally, but Prince An was able to find out so many people, which shows how selfish he is.

In order to exclude dissidents, he almost involved a small number of people in the court. For the first time, the emperor doubted Prince An's mind.
