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

The emperor's hand holding the pen paused and allowed the ink to smear on the memorial. After a while, he said: "The imperial concubine has lived in Hanguang Palace for twenty years. She has long been accustomed to it. After the seal was sealed, she did not move. The treasury is empty. Zhaoyang There is no money to repair the temple."

Listening to these words, the imperial concubine's ceremony for conferring the queen is really low-key.

I don’t know if it’s because the treasury is really empty, or if the emperor has no intention of sealing the queen at all.

Li Heng saw that the emperor was no longer thinking about approving the memorial, but he was still convinced that the emperor must be on guard.

He deliberately gossiped and said: "It's so strange that people in the palace say that the imperial concubine has been wronged after being granted the title of empress. I heard that the fourth brother has said that in the future, the queen mother's palace will be well-renovated for the imperial concubine to live in..."

Before Li Heng finished speaking, the emperor suddenly became furious: "How outrageous!"

A lot of people in the royal study fell to their knees, and Li Heng turned pale with fright, and said helplessly: "My son made a mistake, please forgive me."

The emperor looked at Li Heng. He grew up in a deep palace, and no one had eight hundred tricks.

He knew clearly that Li Heng deliberately let him know and put eye drops on the fourth prince.

They are all his sons and legal heirs to the throne. It is normal for them to fight with each other.

If it were in the past, the emperor would have always favored the fourth prince. After all, he had watched this son grow up, and he was stupid and easy to control.

Unexpectedly, after the polo match, the imperial concubine and the fourth prince began to jump around as if they didn't know the heights of the world.

The emperor looked at the sixth prince again. He seemed to be a good heir. There was no instigation from his relatives at all. Apart from his father, the sixth prince had no one to rely on. The sixth prince and he should be of the same mind as father and son.

In his later years, the emperor gradually began to no longer care about the peace of the country and the people, and the peace of the world.

He just wants to sit on the throne until the moment he closes his eyes. He will prefer which son has no betrayal in his heart.

Raising his hands and asking everyone to stand up, the Emperor personally pulled the Sixth Prince and said lovingly: "I'm not angry with you. Not many people in this palace tell me the truth now. It's hard for you to take the risk of making me angry and return it to me." to be honest."

"In my heart, you have always been the best candidate to inherit the throne. However, you were unable to have children in the past, which hindered the inheritance of the country. I have always been very entangled in my heart.

It's fine now. Since Meng is pregnant, your body must be fine. You go back and let Meng take good care of you. As long as you give birth to a healthy grandson, I will definitely make you the crown prince. "

The emperor's heartfelt words completely moved Li Heng, but he pretended to shed tears of gratitude on his face.

"I know that my father has a grudge. After coming out of the cold palace, I have no other thoughts. As long as my father still remembers his son, I don't care about his status..."

As he spoke, Li Heng suddenly burst into tears, and the emperor also wiped away his tears and choked up: "You are a good boy, I know it."

The two fathers and sons expressed their feelings to each other. The emperor even took out the portrait of the late empress and said to Li Heng: "I have never forgotten your mother and queen. This country can only be inherited by our blood. You must study hard when you go back." , don’t let me down.”

"My son, please remember this."

After the father and son reminisced, Li Heng returned to Chengming Hall with red eyes. Meng Wenyao was shocked when he saw it.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Wenyao nervously took Li Heng's hand, and immediately held Meng Wenyao's hand in hers, comforting her gently.

"Nothing, I just played a father-son love show with my father, don't worry."

"But His Highness's eyes are red, and the Emperor has wronged you again?"

Li Heng sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Meng Wenyao and comforted him: "It's not me this time, it's the imperial concubine."

"My father has no intention of making a queen, and the various rituals for making a queen have been reduced and reduced. I mentioned my mother, and my father..."

The sudden silence made Meng Wenyao feel heartbroken. She knew that Li Heng was thinking of the late queen again.

She didn't look up, knowing that Li Heng probably didn't want Meng Wenyao to see her losing control of her emotions.

After a while, Li Heng continued: "My father said that he always wanted to pass the throne to me, but I couldn't have children, so he didn't mention it. Now that you are pregnant, he said that after we have our eldest son, he Make me the crown prince."

Meng Wenyao was shocked by the news. She looked up at Li Heng and said with a smile: "Is it possible?"

If a father really loves his son, how could he leave him in the cold palace and ignore him for ten years?

And when this son came back to him, he was ignored again.

You can’t tell from any angle that this father loves his son!

How could I leave the family fortune to this son?

Hearing Meng Wenyao's question, Li Heng also smiled bitterly.

"You don't think it's possible either?"

"He just wanted to find a force to balance the imperial concubine after he made her the queen. That's why he said he wanted to make me the prince. It's the emperor's balancing act."

"The affection he has for me as a father and a son is just a result of the nightmares he has had recently, and he only occasionally thinks of them."

Meng Wenyao saw Li Heng's loss, and she said: "It's a blessing in disguise. Since the emperor only wants to check and balance the imperial concubine and prevent her family from getting too powerful, he wants to make you the crown prince. This is just right. Take advantage of it.”

Facing Li Heng's puzzled eyes, Meng Wenyao smiled slyly: "Then let the fourth prince know that the emperor intends to make you the crown prince. Do you think the fourth prince will use any stupid tricks again?"

Originally, the imperial concubine was going to be established as the queen. As the son of the imperial concubine, the fourth prince must have thought that he could sit back and relax.

If I heard that the emperor wanted to make the sixth prince the crown prince at this time, I would probably jump to his feet in a hurry, and he might actually rebel.

"If Yao'er is a man, he must be the pillar of the country."

"Your Highness must have thought of this method a long time ago. In order to deliberately flatter me, he pretended to have just thought of it."

The couple had a sweet moment, and then Li Heng got up and went to the study.

Looking at the eunuch standing aside, Li Heng was extremely ambitious.

"Let the courtiers ask for the crown prince again. Please make the fourth prince the crown prince."

The eunuch raised his eyebrows and asked, "The emperor has just agreed to appoint a queen, so he may not establish a prince at this time."

Li Heng had a smile on his face and said: "That's what you want. As long as the emperor lets you know that he doesn't plan to make a prince now, we will spread rumors in the palace that the emperor plans to make me the prince."

"What if the fourth prince knows?"

"Just want him to know."

A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, but only a man can make mistakes when he is in a hurry.

In the imperial study, since Li Heng left, the emperor has been silent in front of the portrait of the late queen.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that the first prince should be cut into pieces, but at the same time he also knew in his heart that the first queen and the sixth prince had not done anything to him.

Now that half his life has passed and he has reached the end of his life, he is slowly running out of ideas as to who he should succeed to the throne.
