The Queen Mother's last silence was the best proof.

But this is limited to the fact that she will not mention the draft again on the surface, and it is hard to say whether she will make any small moves in private.

Xiao Jining and Ruan Jiaren Tan Qingxuan had an agreement, as long as he did not open his mouth to add people to his harem, Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Jiaren would stand in front of him and block everything for him.

It's just about the draft, they didn't expect the Empress Dowager Chun to suddenly bring it up, and now they came to ask Xiao Jining to get a word of affirmation.And now that they knew Xiao Jining's attitude, they would also know what to do in the future.

However, what the Empress Dowager Chun said was not completely unreasonable.

After all, Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan were not Xiao Jining's real concubines, no matter how many times Xiao Jining sat in their palace and for how long, there would be no movement in their bellies, unless it was a fake pregnancy.

After a year, Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan have nothing to do, but if it takes two or three years, or even longer, the previous court will definitely criticize it. I am afraid that it will not only be that Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan cannot have children, but that they will not be able to have children. Xiao Jining's body... has a problem.

Thinking of this, Ruan Jiaren couldn't help worrying: "But the former court... After a long time, the ministers will discuss it."

If an emperor is barren, then the throne is also unstable.

It would be fine if Xiao Jining didn't have so many living princes and brothers, now there are still six princes alive, I'm afraid that the fourth and fifth princes will have another disagreement.

"Over there, Zhen and General Jing will take care of it." Xiao Jining said, "You don't have to worry."

Xiao Jining felt that if any unsightly minister in the previous dynasty dared to ask him to be drafted to enrich the harem, according to Jing Yuan's temperament of holding grudges, there was no guarantee that he would not tear that person's mouth, so he didn't even have to worry about this matter, Jing Yuan Yuan must be able to find a good reason to reject those people.

But Ruan Jiaren didn't know, so on the way back, Ruan Jiaren chatted with Xiao Jining and asked: "Has the Emperor not found his beloved yet?"

Both Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan hoped that Xiao Jining would find his beloved and welcome her into the palace. Even if Ruan Jiaren was asked to give up the position of queen, she would be willing, after all, this position was not hers from the very beginning.

As long as Xiao Jining has someone to find love and let her enter the palace, then all these problems can be easily solved.

The two of them originally thought that Xiao Jining was unwilling to hold a talent show, and he didn't say which woman to enter the palace. He stayed in his bedroom every day and diligently met with ministers to review papers. It must be that he hadn't met his beloved yet. After hearing Ruan Jiaren's words, Xiao Jining said: "No, I have already met someone who I want to be with for the rest of my life."

Xiao Jining felt that there was nothing to hide from Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan about this matter, and they were all of the same kind.Moreover, Xiao Jining didn't think that his relationship with Jing Yuan could be concealed forever. Now that Xi Shu and Mu Kui knew about it, Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Jiaren might find out soon.

The Seventh and Eighth Princes just went to various prefectures for inspection. If they had been in the capital, Xiao Jining felt that based on the two of them's understanding of him, it would not take long before he would discover his relationship with Jingyuan, so he would also He frankly admits that he has someone he likes.

Ruan Jiaren was stunned for a moment, then asked him, "Then why didn't the emperor welcome her into the palace?"

"I can't welcome him into the palace." Xiao Jining couldn't answer this question.

Not to mention how shocking it is to welcome Jingyuan into the palace to be his male concubine or male empress, even if he is really willing to welcome him, there will definitely be criticism from the officials, and the fourth and fifth princes will take the opportunity to make trouble. In the end, he and Jing Yuan are lovers and finally get married, but it is the common people who suffer, Xiao Jining is not very willing to do this.

"Why not?" Tan Qingxuan didn't understand Xiao Jining's words, and guessed, "Could it be...she is a married woman?"

The sixth prince's biological mother is still a brothel girl, didn't Emperor Yunhong take her into the palace as usual?Therefore, apart from this reason, Tan Qingxuan couldn't think of anything else, but even if she was a married woman, there was no other way, as long as the emperor could save his face and stand up to the officials' comments, that would be fine.

Xiao Jining hesitated again and again, thinking that he and Jing Yuan are now in a time of deep affection, and he is not willing to go to Tan Qingxuan or Ruan Jiaren's palace every day to stay at such a time, even if nothing will really happen to them , he also felt that it was not very good, so he confronted Tan Qingxuan and said, "Because he and I are just like you and the queen."

After saying this, they happened to arrive at the fork in the road between the harem and the Golden Dragon Hall, and Xiao Jining walked towards the Golden Dragon Hall with his hands behind his back, and returned to his bedroom.

Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Jiaren, who were left behind by him, were stunned for a long time, then looked at each other, and said slowly: "Your Majesty... fell in love with a man?"

What Xiao Jining said is already so clear, Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan will not understand, but this reason is indeed something that none of them thought of - if Xiao Jining really fell in love with a man, he really couldn't welcome him into the harem like a woman, no wonder Xiao Jining would rather not draft, even if he has a loved one, he can't stay with him.

On the other side, Xiao Jining, who had just returned to the Golden Dragon Hall, was halfway there when he heard the little eunuch come to tell him that General Jing was already waiting for him in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As soon as Xiao Jining heard this, he immediately hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation happily, because the Hall of Mental Cultivation was all his people, and Mu Kui and Xi Shu also knew that when Jing Yuan came to see him, he would dismiss the irrelevant palace people in the hall, so Xiao Jining There was no restraint, and he rushed into the hall with a bright smile on his face: "Jing..."

It's just that he hadn't called out "General Jing", after Xiao Jining saw who was waiting in the hall, he changed his words as soon as he touched his lips, added a word abruptly, and the smile on his face gradually faded away. Fades: "General Beijing."

The person who came was not Jing Yuan, but Jing Yuan's father, Jing Yue.

Even though Xiao Jining still had a smile on his face, when facing Jing Yue, he couldn't laugh like that just now, so the sudden change before and after was so obvious that even a fool could see it.

Of course, what can be seen is not only Xiao Jining's completely different attitude towards Jingyuan Jingyue, the father and son, but also Xiao Jining's smile just now, which is enough to prove that his attitude towards Jingyuan is not ordinary, not to mention full trust, at least He is also one of Xiao Jining's closest and most trusted confidantes.

"Join the emperor." Jingyue is such an old man, he naturally saw this, and after saluting to Xiao Jining, before Xiao Jining could get up, he stood up on his own, "It seems that the emperor I was very disappointed to find out that the person who came was not my son Jing Yuan."

Although this is an obvious fact, of course Xiao Jining would not admit it, and since Jing Yue did not respect him, Xiao Jining would not give Jing Yue much respect. He walked to the main seat in the center of the imperial study and sat down, smiled and said: " How could it be? Whether I see General Jing or General Jing Da, I am equally happy."

"Really?" Jing Yue also smiled, walked to the side and sat down on the pear blossom armrest wooden chair, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The emperor's imperial study room generally rarely has other seats. Unless the emperor grants a seat, the eunuchs who serve will only bring a wooden chair. This was the case before Emperor Yunhong.It's just that, unlike Emperor Yunhong, who wants to be a Ming emperor who wants to be famous forever, Xiao Jining takes the route of a benevolent monarch. His imperial study room has two wooden chairs on the left and right, for the ministers to rest their feet when they have an audience - some of them He and Jing Yuan often meet each other, but Xiao Jining doesn't think that the reason why Jing Yuan is always standing is in it.

But regardless of whether there are seats in the imperial study room, if there is no emperor's oral order to show respect, the ministers will never just sit down like this.

It wasn't long before Jing Yue met Xiao Jining, and he didn't say a word. He acted so defiantly and disregarded etiquette twice, which showed that he didn't take the emperor Xiao Jining seriously at all.

So Xiao Jining was surprised, even if Jingyue didn't want to see him as the emperor before, he would not do it so obviously, at least the respect on the surface would still be enough, why did Jingyue suddenly start to go crazy today?

Xiao Jining was suspicious, but there was nothing unusual on his face, he even beckoned the palace people to serve Jingyue tea, and asked Jingyue: "General Jing is here today, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Jing Yue took the tea served by the palace servants, sipped his mouth and said: "I came here today, I really want to ask the emperor something."

"General Jing, why do you need to use the word 'begging' between you and my ministers?" Hearing this, Xiao Jining instinctively felt that he would definitely not want to hear what Jing Yue asked of him, but Jing Yue hadn't explained what it was. It was not easy for him to refuse, "What is the matter, General Jing, you may as well say it bluntly, if I can do it, I will definitely agree."

Jingyue, even though Xiao Jining doesn't like him, Jingyuan's appearance is [-]% similar to him, but Jingyue's face is more vicissitudes than Jingyuan's, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are also a little more There are many calculations and insidiousness hidden in it, and when he speaks, he also hides his edge: "Your Majesty, I have to ask you for this matter."

"Gunzi Jingyuan, now he is over 25 years old, but there is still no one to serve him." Jingyue said to Xiao Jining, "The old minister implores the emperor to grant a marriage for Quanzi, so that Quanzi can continue the bloodline of the Jing family, don't let my Jing family die. "

As soon as Jing Yue's voice fell, Xiao Jining's breath suddenly became chaotic for a moment, and his fingers hanging by his side unconsciously curled up, revealing his inner stupefaction and subconscious reluctance.

Xiao Jining tried his best to calm himself down, and quickly regained his composure.

Because Jingyue's words didn't make sense, Jingyuan has not been married so far, one is that he himself doesn't want to, and the other is because of the speculation he had with Xiaodan at the beginning—since Emperor Yunhong, successive emperors have used poison to control Jingzhong. The mighty Jing family.

What Jing Yue said may not be seeking a wife for Jing Yuan, but seeking an antidote for the Jing family.

But guessing is guessing after all, and Xiao Jining didn't know whether his guess was accurate, because he was poisoned by Concubine Xian back then, and he was rescued by Jiang Yunzhe, the genius doctor beside Jingyuan.

Jiang Yunzhe's medical skills are so superb, is there any poison in the world that he can't cure?And judging by Jing Yuan's usual appearance, he doesn't look like someone who is poisoned.

The most important thing is that when Xiao Jining first sat on the throne, he didn't hear Xiao Mo tell him about the secret that would ensure him to sit firmly on the throne and control the Jing family's loyalty to the emperor for generations.

So at this time, he should not know about it.

But in this way, Jingyue is not seeking an antidote, but is really seeking a wife for Jingyuan.
