I raise fat emperor beasts in the palace

Ruan Sheng really didn't expect Xie Yanhui to say that, he was stunned for a while, and then slowly sat down beside the dragon couch, "Why did Concubine Ai say that?"

Xie Yan took out another bronze mirror from the side and handed it to Ruan Sheng, "Your Majesty, hold this first and face yourself."

According to what he said, Ruan Sheng looked at himself, although the bronze mirror was not very clear, he could still see the general eyebrows and eyes clearly, but looking at his own face, he could tell that he was not... that person's child?

Xie Yan waited for Ruan Sheng to hold up the bronze mirror, then sat up, unfolded the two portraits he had redrawn in his hand, and faced Ruan Sheng's direction.

Ruan Sheng looked reflexively, and the portraits were lifelike, especially Empress Dowager Li, who was almost like a real person, but it was the portrait of his father, and it was like the portraits posted in the imperial mausoleum.

Xie Yan is still very confident in his skills. After all, he made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings in Xie's mansion, and his skills were pretty good.

He has seen Empress Dowager Li before, so naturally he can draw more realistically. Although the portrait of the first emperor was painted by a past painter of the imperial mausoleum, it is not very similar, but the eyebrows and eyes are similar, especially the pair of peach blossom eyes, which are extremely eye-catching. It is a face. Very handsome man. "Your majesty, take a look at the peach blossom eyes of the former emperor. Because he doesn't smile very much and has a cold temper, they are somewhat similar to your phoenix eyes, your majesty. If you don't take a closer look, they are completely different. But if you look again Look at the Empress Dowager..."

That is, it is completely different, not only that, to be honest, the Queen Mother's eyes are a bit small, but fortunately, she has good facial features, her lips are small, and she can still see through her eyes, but the eye shape is completely different from that of Emperor Ruan.

It's fine if you don't have doubts, once you have doubts, Xie Yan thinks that Emperor Ruan is a bit like the first emperor, but there is no resemblance to the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, your lip shape is similar to that of the late emperor, but you have nothing to do with the facial features of the empress dowager. Your eyebrows and eyes don't quite resemble those of the late emperor or the empress dowager. Of course, this is not the key point. I just asked about some things about Eunuch Xu's past. ..." Xie Yan then went south to pay a private visit to the south with some things that Eunuch Xu knew, and when she came back a few months later, a woman who had no intention of being brought into the palace suddenly married, and even made her a queen directly. Not quite right.

Ruan Sheng has long been dumbfounded looking at those two portraits. He has never carefully observed the appearance of Empress Dowager Li. It can even be said that he and Empress Dowager Li have never met each other. After the empress dowager showed extreme disgust and fright to him, the emperor didn't let him see the empress dowager again for a long time.

In addition, he seldom saw people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation on the grounds of being weak. It was not until the death of his father that he saw the Empress Dowager Li a lot, but at that time he had already passed the age of missing his mother. The relationship is very weak, and he can only maintain the harmony on the surface, and he doesn't want to look directly at Queen Mother Li, for fear of seeing the disgusting look that he still remembers when he was young.

But now Xie Yan told him that maybe his mother was not his biological mother?

Xie Yan stole a glance at Ruan Sheng, knowing that he might still be hesitant at the moment, or he might be too shocked to speak.

Xie Yan, this is just a guess. With the death of the first emperor, he disappeared without a trace. "I didn't want to think about it at first, but the first emperor obviously kept many secrets from you. From the fact that you were born with eggs but said you were born with viviparous , and the emperor said that you have the blood of your ancestors and you have dragons, but if there were ancestors in the past, you may have never heard of them before. It's also the same, so it can be seen that the probability... is a bit high. And the Queen Mother is so sure that my baby will definitely be an egg, unless, she is very sure, starting from you, the emperor, the offspring in the future are likely to be beasts."

But why is the Queen Mother so confident?

Unless the so-called probability of the ancestors is actually false, and the emperor is not like this, then only the biological mother of Emperor Ruan is likely... Long.

This caused the Queen Mother to be so sure that Emperor Ruan's descendants would definitely be dragons.

It's just that the queen mother didn't expect that he was pregnant with two, one of which was a dragon, and the other was like him, a human.

Another point is that the reason why the Queen Mother is so sure is that she thinks that he is a man, and the reason why she can conceive must be because of Emperor Ruan, so this heir also inherits the blood of Emperor Ruan, so it is naturally a dragon egg.

However, the queen mother is too confident, which is not a good thing.

Xie Yan's guess was too shocking to Ruan Sheng, he took a long time to slowly put down the bronze mirror, looked at Xie Yan, his eyes were empty, and he didn't speak.

Xie Yan couldn't bear to see him like this. The reason why he told Ruan Sheng his speculation was also to untie his knot.

Although Emperor Ruan didn't say anything, he could see that after the death of the first emperor, Emperor Ruan cared about his only relative, and the empress dowager's dislike also made Emperor Ruan prefer to hide alone in the animal hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, feeling inferior And with a sensitive heart, he hid for more than twenty years.

Once the queen mother is not his biological mother, although it is difficult for him to accept it at first, it will be a good thing in the long run.At least, because he is not the biological mother, there is a reason for those dislikes. He is not a child born to be disliked by the biological mother.

Xie Yan stretched out his hand and took the bronze mirror out of Emperor Ruan's hand, stretched out his palm, and put the egg on it, with a soft and gentle voice, "Look, Your Majesty, you didn't know that Zai Zai was from the beginning. Egg, even if she is born now, the emperor didn't want an heir before, but she is still happy. No one is born to dislike their child, even though the former emperor lied to you, he was afraid that you would be sad."

It's just that these truths have been sealed away with the death of the former emperor. The only person in this world who still knows is the queen mother, but the queen mother is afraid that it is impossible to tell them at all.

Ruan Sheng finally digested all this, and he gradually regained his composure. Xie Yan's soothing voice and the egg in his palm made him calm down again. He held Xie Yan's hand that was about to be withdrawn , as if he could absorb the warmth from his palm, but afraid that Xie Yan would think too much, he quickly covered the egg with his palm and didn't let go for a long time.

Xie Yan was stunned when Emperor Ruan suddenly held his hand, and then his palm was covered on the dragon's egg. His eyes were stunned, then his eyes were bent, and he didn't speak.

Emperor Ruan didn't mention this matter again after it was said. After all, there was no evidence, it was just Xie Yan's guess, but Xie Yan knew that Emperor Ruan had listened to it, and he monitored the Queen Mother and General Li even more closely in private. .

As soon as the news that General Li was deprived of his title came out, the entire court was shocked, and the people in the public were also shocked, but after hearing the reason, everyone couldn't help being speechless. Is General Li stupid or stupid?I actually think that the national teacher used some sorcery to make the man conceive, and the pregnancy is also fake...

Everyone had only one thought: It's a pity that General Li doesn't want to be a storyteller. Look at what he's saying. He wants a man to get pregnant?Is it true that so many imperial doctors are just eating dry food?

The final result of this incident was that the National Teacher became popular again, and his reputation was even better than before.

Prince Chu is a bit ecstatic these days. After all, Lord Zong is on his side. The higher the status of Lord Zong in Ruan State, it means that he will have the right to speak in Ruan State in the future.

He felt that it was almost done, coughed lowly, and on the second day when General Li's incident happened, he couldn't wait to find the national teacher: "Master Zong, you see, we have been in Ruan country for so long, should we plan to go back? Emperor Ruan There... Do you think you want to talk about it?"

When he first came, he ran into a wall with Emperor Ruan, and he didn't dare to mention it again. He originally wanted his second sister to give birth to an emperor's heir, but who knew that he would be happy with a male concubine Yan Gui?

However, Concubine Yan Gui is a reckless person, and now he is at a disadvantage and dare not challenge Concubine Yan Gui, so he can only turn his mind on the national teacher again.

The national teacher glanced at him, opened his mouth and stopped talking, and finally sighed. It seemed that it was time to say, "Tomorrow, Your Highness will follow me into the palace to see Emperor Ruan."

Prince Chu was overjoyed, he didn't notice the complicated eyes of the national teacher, and went to prepare happily.

However, he didn't realize that the national teacher was looking at his back, and didn't look back for a long time. Perhaps His Highness will be happy for such a day. Waiting for tomorrow... I am afraid that extreme joy will turn into sadness.

The next day, Emperor Ruan met Prince Chu and the national teacher in the imperial study. Emperor Ruan already knew the meaning of the national teacher yesterday, and knew that this time it was a showdown. He looked at the happy Prince Chu and coughed softly, "Prince Chu It’s been quite some time since you came to Ruan country, when do you plan to leave?”

After all, it's not appropriate to cut off the beard as soon as you come up, so let's talk about the situation first to ease it.

It was the first time for Crown Prince Chu to see Emperor Ruan being so kind, and he felt that his purpose of borrowing soldiers had been mostly achieved, and his attitude became more and more submissive: "It is true that the time of being lonely is not short, and it is time to return, but the emperor also knows about the situation of Gu , once we go back, I'm afraid...the situation in the court will not be very good."

Ruan Sheng nodded, "Indeed, I wonder what Prince Chu intends?"

Prince Chu's eyes lit up when he heard this, the emperor threw out an olive branch, did he intend to help him?

Prince Chu quickly lowered his eyes, feeling extremely pitiful, "The emperor also knows the situation of Gu in Chu State now. Gu came here this time just to ask for some soldiers from the emperor, so that he can have some confidence to compete with the third child. Don't worry, the emperor, before Gu The conditions mentioned are all valid, after Gu ascends the throne, after all, there will be no more wars with Ruan Guo."

Ruan Sheng cut to the chase, "But I feel that these things will happen many years later. After all, as far as I know, your father is still alive and well." It's okay to live another ten years or so.

Ten years is not a short period of time. At that time, Prince Chu will not be Prince Chu, and may change hands.

Prince Chu didn't know, what's more, he came this time because he knew that his father had already moved his mind. He took a deep breath, "If the emperor has a request, can he mention it?"

It's not scary to have a request, but to refuse it without a request.

Ruan Sheng knew about it: "I can send troops, and I can also help Prince Chu stabilize your position as the prince, but after all, I am the king of a country, and if I want to help Prince Chu, I have to be famous."

"It's natural, Your Majesty, is this your plan?" Prince Chu is not stupid, Emperor Ruan said it so clearly, it seems that he wants to get something from him in exchange.

It's just that he can't protect himself now, what else can Emperor Ruan like?

Ruan Sheng smiled: "I don't ask too much, I just want to beg someone like Prince Chu."

Prince Chu swallowed his saliva inexplicably when Emperor Ruan laughed, but Emperor Ruan didn't smile, why did he feel like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered? "Emperor Ruan wants...whom?"

Ruan Sheng raised his hand and pointed directly at the national teacher who had been silent all this time.

Prince Chu followed Ruan Cheng's finger, turned his head with a stiff neck, and saw Master Zong standing beside him, who was handsome and immortal: "???"

……

Prince Chu was still wobbling until he left the imperial study room. His mind was still not clear at the moment. He was about to leave the palace. Then he suddenly realized what had stopped. He couldn't believe it when he looked at the silent National Teacher: "Master Zong, Mr. Zong? You were just dreaming, right?"

The national teacher has made a decision for a long time, and now he is very calm, "Your Highness is not dreaming."

Prince Chu stared blankly at the national teacher, "But how did Gu hear that Emperor Ruan said that it is easy to lend soldiers to Gu, and he will support Gu to secure the position of prince, but the request is to let the national teacher come to Ruan country?"

Seeing Prince Chu's appearance, the national teacher could not hold back his lips and let out a low cough, "His Royal Highness heard correctly, but I am not alone, it is the whole line of the national teacher."

Prince Chu: "???" What, not only the national teacher is coming, but the whole family is moving here?

Did he lose a lot of money!

He is borrowing soldiers from a thousand miles away, he is giving away a head from a thousand miles away!

Prince Chu saw that the national teacher was about to speak, so he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him: "No, Mr. Zong, please stop talking, let Gu take it easy, Gu's head hurts now, and Gu's whole body is weak." How good, Mr. Zong If you say no, it will be gone. If you are a good national teacher, if you say rebellion, you will rebel.

The national teacher can naturally guess what Prince Chu is thinking at this moment, followed behind him, and sighed: "Your Highness, you are also aware of the current situation in the court of Chu Kingdom. Although Emperor Chu respects my national teacher, the third prince will not go That's it. Once the third prince seizes power in the future, the lineage of my national teacher will not be able to win favor in Chu State. Mai is not completely surrendered to Chu State, he is a free body. It’s just that he has taken root in Chu State these years and has not moved. Now that I come to Chu State, His Highness also has assistance, and I can secure the position of prince, which is a win-win situation.”

Prince Chu shook his body, "That's all?"

The national teacher's expression moved slightly, "Of course, this is only one aspect. A large part of it is because I found a life-saving benefactor. He is Concubine Yan, the former Prince Yan. The grace of saving life should be repaid by spring."

Prince Chu: "???!!!"

If you want to ask Prince Chu what he thinks, it is regret, especially regret. If he had known that his cheap emperor brother was the savior of the national teacher, he would not let him come to make a marriage. Broken soldiers?Even the national teacher paid for it.

Xie Yan only found out about this at night, and Xie Yan didn't take it seriously after hearing it. He felt that Prince Chu would definitely agree.

Besides, it's useless if he doesn't agree. The national teacher is free, and if he wants to leave, he can do it except for some difficulties, but Prince Chu can get a rescue. What a wonderful thing.

Xie Yan just listened to it. He has recently become obsessed with observing dragon eggs, and even made a special soft measure to measure the eggs several times a day.

When the egg finally grew a little, Xie Yan wept with joy. Although it was only half a centimeter, it showed that the moonlight was useful!

Therefore, Xie Yan, who couldn't hold the beast and could only watch it every night, drove Emperor Ruan to sleep in the beast hall, where he lay in the moonlight every night, with Dan.

Emperor Ruan: "..."

Fortunately, when Emperor Ruan was not the emperor, he turned back into a beast and lay here to bask in the moonlight most of the time. Of course, the moonlight here is not as good as the cold palace, but he can't go to the cold palace with eggs, not to mention the danger. To expose the eggs, just a thank-you banquet is not allowed.

Emperor Ruan felt that his status was plummeting. On the other hand, although General Li had to hand over his military power, he refused to leave the imperial city and began to pretend to be sick. Emperor Ruan had no scruples and asked him to leave at the end of the month, otherwise , Imprisoned directly on the grounds of disobedience.

General Li hates it, but he never thought that Emperor Ruan could directly ground Queen Mother Li.

That's his mother!

Probably General Li knew that Emperor Ruan could not change his mind. After he was sure that he would not see Queen Mother Li, he left the imperial city with a group of confidants, because he was the only one who issued the military order at that time, and the entire Li family stayed. Without General Li, the Li family is now a mess.

Ruan Sheng didn't pay attention to these things, but he didn't let up when General Li left, and sent someone to secretly monitor General Li's movements. He felt that he would never let it go so easily after knowing General Li all these years.

He just waited until General Li couldn't wait to strike and give him a fatal blow.

At the same time, it was rare for Ruan Sheng to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation instead of going to the Hall of Beasts after General Li left the imperial city. When Xie Yan came back from the shower, he saw Emperor Ruan sitting on the dragon couch, " Why hasn't the emperor returned to the beast hall?"

Ruan Sheng spread out his hands, "The moonlight is not good recently, and if it is in the sun, it means that it is not in the sun. I will bring the dragon cub back to accompany my concubine."

Xie Yan thinks about it and hasn't slept with the dragon egg for several days. I hugged the dragon egg. I just wanted to say that the emperor can go back to the beast hall. But think about it, is it too ruthless? After all, this is the territory of Emperor Ruan , He thought for a while, but didn't make a sound, just glanced at Emperor Ruan secretly from the corner of the eye, always feeling that it was weird to see Emperor Ruan tonight.

Ruan Sheng did have something to say, he thought about it for a few days, and felt that it was time to put it on the agenda, otherwise, it would be inconvenient to thank the banquet when the month came.

Seeing Ruan Sheng's appearance, Xie Yan hugged the dragon egg and moved aside silently, a little further away from Emperor Ruan. He suddenly remembered that Emperor Ruan said before that he had never passed puberty, and now he looks like this again. Now that three months have passed, it stands to reason that what can be done, this Emperor Ruan is so savage that he won't let go of even a pregnant woman, right?

This is not human anymore.

Ruan Sheng didn't think anything was wrong when he saw Xie Yan hiding aside, but Xie Yan fell to the ground when he went out, and he wanted to stretch out his hand to pull it, but he saw Xie Yan hiding aside.

Ruan Sheng:? ? ?

Wait until you understand: "..."

Ruan Sheng had a headache, "My concubine, you're overthinking, I've passed puberty, and I haven't responded recently, it should have passed."

Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief, laughed dryly, and moved closer to Emperor Ruan with the egg in his arms, but not too close, "Then, your majesty, this is... to scare the ministers."

Ruan Sheng: "But I do have something to talk to my concubine."

"What are you talking about?" Xie Yan was curious, what could make Emperor Ruan so sad?

Ruan Sheng opened his mouth, didn't know what to say, his ears were reddish, and he coughed softly, "Look, concubine, you are more than three months pregnant, and you will be about to give birth in half a year, and now the dragon egg has already been born." Well, I think, when the child is born, he will be directly established as the prince, what do you think?" He tactfully.

Xie Yan thought for a while, "Isn't it too early? What if the second cub doesn't want to be the emperor?" The dragon egg has already been born, and in Xie Yan's mind, even if the shell hasn't broken, it is still the big cub, the elder brother.

Ruan Sheng touched his nose, "That's true."

Xie Yan was suspicious, so easy to talk?That doesn't mean we have to set up a prince, what on earth does Emperor Ruan want to do?He looked over and found that Emperor Ruan had just sneaked a glance over, and Xie Yan was even more puzzled, "Your Majesty, what do you want to say? Just say it, I have a big heart and can bear it."

Seeing how straightforward he was, Ruan Sheng coughed, "Then can I tell you?"

Xie Yan waved his hand: "Speak."

Ruan Sheng said: "I... want to make you queen."

Xie Yan: "...???"

When he realized that Emperor Ruan was not cheating, he opened his eyes slightly, and the hexagram of the national teacher flashed in his mind for the first time, the four heirs!Holy crap, before his second cub was born, Emperor Ruan was already thinking about his body!Too much.

Seeing that Xie Yan didn't speak, Ruan Sheng looked at him quietly, and became even more restless. He coughed softly, "It just so happens that I have never met the jade concubines and the others, so we send them out of the palace together. Letting them get married on their own will not delay them."

Xie Yan: "This is fine, it's just... Your Majesty, you have appointed a minister to be your empress right now, what if you meet your sweetheart in the future?"

Ruan Sheng glanced at him silently, and resorted to his trump card: "I just think that I will probably never meet her again in this life, or, concubine Ai wants to continue to be the noble concubine of Yan, and let someone else be the queen in the future, and let your cub call someone else's queen? "

Xie Yan: "!!! Absolutely not!"

Xie Yan thought about it, the cubs are all born, and there are still dragon eggs, if other people get involved again, what if they find out that they secretly dislike his cubs?Isn't she the queen? He has become it!

Ruan Sheng looked at Xie Yan, who immediately came alive, and heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile in his eyes.

Since Xie Yan didn't have any objections, the civil and military officials found that the Chu State Teacher was also on the list the next morning, and they looked at each other: What's the situation?

When Ruan Sheng waited for the morning to come to an end, he finally opened his mouth: "I have three things to announce today."

All civil and military officials were waiting for this moment, after all, the presence of the Chu State Master on their side really made them curious.

Ruan Sheng continued: "The first thing is that I decided to disband the harem."

Civil and military officials: "???"

Ruan Sheng didn't seem to see the bewildered faces of all the civil and military officials below, and continued to speak very calmly: "The second thing is that I plan to make Concubine Yan as the queen, considering that he will give birth to the emperor's heir in half a year. It's inconvenient, so the wedding should be done as soon as possible, and the Queen's Sealing Ceremony will be held after three months."

Civil and military officials: "???!!!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and had long forgotten to react. It was fine for Concubine Yan to be pregnant with a dragon heir, and it was fine to be named a noble concubine, but... the queen's position is different?In the past, Ruan Kingdom never had a male queen?

As a result, Emperor Ruan began to say the third thing: "The third thing is that the national teacher discovered that Concubine Yan Gui was his savior, so for the sake of Concubine Yan, he decided to bring the entire lineage of the national teacher to take root in Ruan Kingdom. , Mr. Zong is the national teacher of Ruan country."

The civil and military officials were completely dumbfounded: "..."
