Ministers made me a male queen

Although the eldest prince heard that he was hesitant, the shining eyes didn't think that way. He already had some calculations in his heart, and he guessed right. His son Yu didn't go to Lao Wu's side, but this coveted Lao Wu How could it be possible to just let go of your thoughts?

After confirming that the purpose of his coming was more than half successful, he put it away when he saw it, raised his teacup to Jiao Yun, "This matter is not urgent, the prince can think about it first, don't worry, in order to show sincerity, the prince can Wait, I will let you see my sincerity. Let’s not talk about this today, let’s talk about that set of jewelry? I want to..."

Next, the eldest prince didn't seem to mention that matter again. Jiao Yun was listening, but he was obviously absent-minded. Prince's Mansion.

The eldest prince saw his expression in his eyes, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said sincerely: "This is the surprise that the king wants to give to the side concubine, and it is also a wish of the king. I should come and get it in person." Looking at the sketch in front of him, with an infatuated and unrepentant look, the corners of Jiao Yun's mouth twitched. The drama is over, First Prince, are you not afraid of taking the second prince's back?

The higher you stand, the harder you fall, dear.

After the first prince left, Jiao Yun released Nie Baichang, and explained the reason and purpose of the first prince's visit. The two looked at each other and shook their heads. It seemed that the first prince was really anxious because of the old emperor's body. It's going to be a lot of fun in the next period of time.

Three days later, the First Prince really came to take away the set of jewelry on time, and left without mentioning the previous matter after giving the money.

For the next period of time, the eldest prince will enter the palace on time every day to accompany the old emperor to help him organize the affairs of state, but the flesh on his face has been reduced a lot day by day, he looks thinner, and his energy is not good How good, the old emperor didn't pay attention at first, and when the palace gate was about to be closed, after the first prince left in a hurry, the old emperor asked Eunuch Liu to find out what the first prince was doing recently.

Within two days, Eunuch Liu handed over all the actions of the eldest prince during this period, and the booklet listed the time and what he did.

At the beginning, the old emperor felt that he had neglected the boss all these years and wanted to make up for it, so he brought him with him, but after getting in touch with him, he found that although the boss was a bit stupid, he also had rare advantages, that is, honesty, honesty, and no outsiders. Heart, if in normal times, the old emperor would never have thought of caring about the boss, and would not have discovered the appearance of the boss who has not paid much attention to him.

He frowned and turned over one by one, his expression a little dazed.

Eunuch Liu glanced at him secretly. During this period of time, he could see how much the emperor attached to the eldest prince. He knew what the old emperor wanted to hear when he saw people talking nonsense. , the eldest prince has had... really not easy these years. "

The old emperor didn't speak, but he didn't stop him from continuing.

Eunuch Liu continued: "... Concubine Xin couldn't stay in the capital after something like that happened, and she committed suicide several times. If the eldest concubine didn't stop her, she might be gone. The eldest prince didn't mention it to the public. And this matter, but in the end I felt distressed, so I reluctantly wrote a letter of divorce and let Concubine Xin go free. However, the eldest prince is probably afraid that Concubine Xin will have a bad life in the future. Apart from going to the treasure opened by Prince Yu twice during this period of time, Outside the pavilion, I was trying to get the butler to sell some of the good farmland he had accumulated over the years in private. When I went to the Zhenbao Pavilion, I also asked Prince Yu to customize a set of jewelry, which should be... for Concubine Xin as a parting gift. Unexpectedly, the eldest prince has been so quiet these years, but he is very affectionate."

On the contrary, the second prince was so superficial that no one knew his sincerity for the former second prince and concubine these years, but instead he took five concubines in private, and finally ended up reconciled.

The old emperor looked a little dazed and guilty, "Boss...has always done his duty."

He felt guilty for ignoring his eldest son all these years. He was obviously the eldest son, but because he didn't like his concubine mother, he had neglected his concubine mother all these years. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen his concubine mother for a long time. A gentle woman, she has kept a low profile in the palace these years, eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha very calmly.

The old emperor sighed, "Prepare some gold and silver jewelry, and when the boss comes to the palace to talk about Concubine Xin, give it to him in private."

Eunuch Liu quickly complied, and he narrowed his eyes. He really guessed what the emperor was thinking, but before he could do anything, the old emperor called him again, "By the way, the eldest prince's mother and concubine..."

Eunuch Liu is a fine person, as if he didn't realize that the emperor had forgotten the title of Concubine Zhang, he reminded: "Speaking of Concubine Zhang, she has lived in seclusion these years, but she taught the eldest prince so well."

The old emperor nodded, "Let's go to Concubine Zhang to have a look tonight."

Although he is good-looking, whether he went to Concubine Ning Gui or Empress Qi recently, the two of them would either smile cautiously or say good things for the two princes in private. No matter how good the color is, because of the matter of the second child, he feels uncomfortable and wants to be cold on purpose.

Eunuch Liu was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. The court is afraid that the sky will change.

In the next three days, not only the harem but also the court received news that the old emperor, who had not been to Concubine Zhang for more than ten years, suddenly stayed at Concubine Zhang's place for three consecutive days, which seemed to tear apart this period of time A guess that no one dared to think about quickly swept through the entire court.

The morning of the fourth day ended, and acquainted ministers walked together in twos and threes, their voices were low, "...Have you heard about the incident in the harem? You said that the emperor is..."

"You don't want to die? This is the palace. You can criticize the emperor's affairs?"

"Aren't we the only ones here? This concubine Zhang has lived in seclusion these years, and she has never even left her palace, but why is it so sudden... During these days, the emperor often takes the eldest prince with him, and even delegates many Important court event, you say this...will it..."

The few people looked at each other and knew it well but didn't dare to add what he hadn't finished. The emperor was probably disgusted with the second prince and the third prince because of the previous incident, and besides this kind of thing, the second prince had no face to enter the palace recently, and even called him sick. He even forgot about the business, and the third prince is still locked up in the clan mansion. The fourth prince usually looks up to the third prince. In order to avoid involving him in this matter, he can't keep a low profile. As for the fifth prince, since he recognized him, Almost as if it didn't exist.

Looking at it now, the five princes in court turned out to be the eldest prince who suddenly showed his provocation.

A few people quickly found Ning Shangshu and old Qi Ge with dark faces behind them, and hurriedly gave way and left.

Ning Shangshu and Elder Qi Ge looked at each other behind him, Ning Shangshu and others had almost left, and then slowly hummed, since the Ning and Qi families have torn their faces, Ning Shangshu also has no good looks at the Qi family, and his words are sarcasm, "It seems that this time the third prince spared no effort to destroy the second highness, but it didn't work out. Instead, he let others take advantage of the loopholes. When the third prince is released, I'm afraid there will be no place for him beside the emperor. "

Although Ning Shangshu was also angry that the eldest prince would use this incident to get ahead, but facing the mastermind of this incident, Ning Shangshu gritted his teeth thinking of the second prince who was still hiding in the mansion and dared not show his face. His Ning family will never let it go.

Qi Ge snorted old-fashionedly: "Don't say those accusations against Sang Huai, I'm afraid your Ning family knows better than anyone what is going on!" He categorically denied that this incident was definitely not done by him. Even if he usually did not deal with the second child, he did not have the courage to do such a thing. This incident is a matter of hurting the enemy ten thousand and self-defeating eight thousand. He is stupid Use this kind of thing to ruin the second child.

Mr. Qi Ge firmly believed in it at the beginning, and the third prince must have been a bit crooked all these years, but there is no need for the third prince to hide what has been hammered to death, unless... it really wasn't him who did it.

That is, someone deliberately designed all this to frame the third prince.

The first thing Qi Ge thought of was the second prince, but the second prince also drank the drugged wine at that time, and it would be embarrassing to talk about it...

But besides the second prince, could it be the eldest prince?Old Qi Ge thought it was impossible. Even if the second prince really bullied Concubine Xin, after the matter was over, he would at most be said to be romantic, but the eldest prince would spend his whole life worrying about being cheated on by his imperial brother. , this is a matter of man's dignity.

That is, the second prince took the bottom line in order to destroy the third prince, and he did not hesitate to count himself into it.

What a vicious heart, what a ruthless means!

Ning Shangshu also felt that this matter was about the Qi family, so Yin Cece and Mr. Qi Ge looked at each other: It depends on how long your Qi family can be arrogant.

On the other side, after entering the palace that day, the "loyal, honest and pitiful" eldest prince knelt down in front of the old emperor as soon as he entered the imperial study. "Father, son... I want to tell you something."

The old emperor lowered his eyes. The reason why he thought that Eunuch Liu waited for the boss to tell the concubine Xin before handing it over was because he was not at ease with the boss. He wanted to see if the boss planned to kill the concubine before playing, or would really tell him to let Concubine Xin go. .

Hearing what the eldest prince said now, the old emperor's face softened a lot, and he said with kindness, "You have been working so hard these days, what are you doing kneeling? You are my prince, and father and son love each other deeply. You don't need to do so much when there are no outsiders." present."

The eldest prince didn't get up, and lowered his eyes, "I'm guilty. I didn't want to mention this matter again, but now..." He talked about the recent events of Concubine Xin, and made plans to send Xin away. The concubine's matter was mentioned together, and finally, with red eyes, "Father, I am afraid that she will be overwhelmed if she stays any longer, so... I will make my own decision and send her away tomorrow, and I hope my father will agree."

The old emperor is in a good mood. Compared with the second child who concealed his concubine, this matter is indeed the most appropriate now. When Concubine Xin leaves, wait a few years for this matter to fade away, and no one will remember it. A scandal, "You get up first, why didn't the father agree? You did the right thing, but you wronged Concubine Xin and you. I don't feel good about this matter. Your third brother didn't do it well. Honestly, I have made you wronged, my father knows that the punishment is light, but the third child is your emperor's younger brother after all, it's not good to spread the word, you should be wronged..."

"My son is not wronged. My son knows the difficulty of the father." He raised his head and looked at the old emperor with admiration and sincerity.

In the past, the second prince looked at him like this. The first prince has seen it all these years, so he naturally understands how the second child pleases the old emperor. With a deceptive honest and honest face, the old emperor's eyes became softer, "Okay, father knows that you are a good boy, Eunuch Liu, give the things to the boss."

When the eldest prince left again, there was still a sad respect on his face, until he was the only one left sitting on the soft sedan chair outside the palace, he slowly raised his head, there was no trace of pity in his wet and red eyes With grief, he raised the corner of his mouth and opened the brocade box in his hand, and looked at the rich assets inside, and there were even two villas, which were more than ten times more than what he sold.

……

And all the things that happened in these days were reported to Nie Baichang's ears in detail. After hearing this, Jiao Yun clicked his tongue, "I'm afraid the eldest prince has been waiting for this opportunity all these years, to figure out the old emperor's thoughts clearly. The second prince and the third prince will not lose this time." After all, a person who can bear to stare at them for more than ten years and calculate for several years is hard to guard against.

Nie Baichang hummed, hugged Jiao Yun from behind, and rested his chin on his neck, "The emperor gave him two villas, one is on a mountain outside the city and has hot springs, what do you think he will do next?"

The current plot is slightly different from the book, but it is not big. The only variable is that he and Nie Xiaobai, and he privately thought that he was unrequitedly in love with the fifth prince. "The eldest prince has not mentioned it since he said it last time How to match us up, I guess I’m waiting for this opportunity.” The Zhuangzi given by the old emperor has a hot spring, and now the second prince and the third prince don’t show up, and the fourth prince and the third prince are involved again, leaving only the fifth prince, the eldest prince can’t help it Can you take this opportunity to invite the fifth prince to go to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs? The excuse is that the hot springs are good for the body?

The first prince bought his property privately at the beginning, just to trick the old emperor into giving him Zhuangzi and money. Even if he didn’t give him a hot spring, he could still find something from other Zhuangzi to eat or use. Together, it will be logical at that time, even if the old emperor knows about it, he will not be able to say half a typo.

On the one hand, the second prince and the third prince are fighting against each other, and on the other hand, he and the fifth prince have a very deep relationship. Compared with each other, those two are even more indifferent.

Jiao Yun silently shook his head and laughed: The eldest prince used his own father's routine, and he did it one way after another. He would not stop until he was cheated, and the one who was cheated felt guilty and made up for it, willingly.
