"Sister, at the practice banquet, you should be more careful. Be careful what the eldest prince eats." During the practice banquet, Concubine Shu finally found an opportunity to pull Wang Zhaorong aside and whispered.

"Sister Concubine Shu, what do you mean?" Wang Zhaorong asked with a sudden heartbeat.

"I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet today, so I don't want to say more. You can do it yourself." Concubine Shu finished speaking and left quickly. Although she doesn't have any palace power in her hands now, she has been in the harem for so many years. She is not a fool. Well, she got some news today, but she didn't have evidence in hand after all, just remind Wang Zhaorong.

Concubine Shu left, leaving Wang Zhaorong at a loss.

"Your Majesty, why are you bothering? The fight between the princes has nothing to do with you. If you spoil the Empress Empress' plan, maybe the Empress Empress will hate you by then," Concubine Shu's maid, Xiyue said. .

"You girl, what do you know? After so many years, although I have no children, the battle of several princes for the heir apparent is not what I can win. We have to rely on the new emperor to live. Among all the princes, I feel that the first prince is the most likely to get the seat. It is better to sell some to the first prince now. In the future, when we rely on the first prince, we will be more confident." Chen Wenlan's eyes There was a gleam of wisdom.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take the side of the First Prince? Could it be too early? Although the First Prince is now in the prime of his life, His Majesty is in his prime. The princes want to ascend the throne, but they still have to endure." Xiyue frowned, thinking Still somewhat disagree.

Concubine Shu smiled, and did not answer Xiyue's question. After all, she is the niece of Chen Min, Minister of the Household Department, and she has her own uniqueness about government affairs. Over the years, since His Majesty ascended the throne, all kinds of things that happened in Daxia From the looks of it, Concubine Shu has a faint feeling in her heart that Her Majesty may have given birth to the idea of ​​retreating, but it is a pity that the princes below are still unable to be alone, otherwise His Majesty is already the Supreme Emperor at this time.

As for why she felt this way, at the beginning of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, reforms were very strong. First, the imperial examinations appeared to suppress wealthy families. Later, the army was restructured, cement roads and trains. Slowly carry out the implementation, but now, His Majesty has started a new round of reforms. You can see from Cangming Kingdom's coming to Daxia. As for why His Majesty has the idea of ​​retreating, naturally he needs to combine the harem. His Majesty may have his own The person I really love, Wenrou Township, Hero Tomb, how wise your Majesty is, he must be a Mingjun for Daxia, but if he is the Supreme Emperor, he can devote himself wholeheartedly to the person he loves, the latest reform, I am afraid Your Majesty wants a perfect ending to his tenure.

Chen Wenlan's idea sometimes seemed crazy to her, how could anyone be willing to give up the supremacy, but, as a woman, her intuition told her that all kinds of things wrong with His Majesty were for this reason.

Since His Majesty wants to retire, looking at all the princes, the Eldest Prince is the most likely one. The Second Prince and the Third Prince, who are at odds, still angered His Majesty. Although the two of them may not think so themselves, the Fourth Prince is still a question mark. The fifth prince and the sixth prince, the fifth prince is very smart, but he will not go on the right path in the end, His Majesty will not fail to see, and his mother and concubine Shen Zhaoyi was sent by King Zhong, so naturally he is inferior to others in that seat. As for the sixth prince, even though it was the fault of the noble concubine for the incident of the noble concubine, in His Majesty's heart, the crime of instigation by the sixth prince is absolutely necessary.

From this, it can be seen that the throne can only be produced by the eldest prince and the fourth prince. With a half chance, she bets that the eldest prince will definitely get that seat.

After being reminded by Concubine Shu, Wang Zhaorong couldn't sit still anymore and went directly to His Majesty.

"You said that Concubine Shu told you about this?" I was a little stunned.

"Yes, after greeting the Empress, Concubine Shu deliberately found the concubine, and said, Your Majesty, could there really be some conspiracy at the banquet?" Wang Zhaorong was a little scared.

"I really underestimated Concubine Shu, don't worry, I already knew about this matter, so just pretend you don't know anything, and I will deal with it," Zhen comforted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Zhaorong heaved a sigh of relief. With the emperor's guarantee, she felt at ease. "The concubine resigned."

"Go".

When Wang Zhaorong left, Zhao Yunyu came out from the side hall, sat on her father's lap, and said, "Why is the Empress so grandiose this time, even Concubine Shu knows."

I shook my head, "Concubine Shu should have seen it herself. The queen is not stupid, but since she did it, she must leave traces. Concubine Shu is a careful person, and she has been in the harem for so many years, so she naturally has her own. Means, since she rejected the queen's proposal, she probably paid more attention to it."

"According to this, Concubine Shu is really a talent," Zhao Yunyu praised.

"Concubine Shu is the niece of Chen Min, Minister of the Household Department." There must be some shrewdness.

Zhao Yunyu nodded, no wonder, with the Hubu Shangshu Chen Min's niece, there is such an old fox as the Hubu Shangshu, Concubine Shu will be fine no matter what.

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged, are you sure to do it?" Nong Mo asked.

"Naturally, we have to do it. Let the people below pay attention, and don't miss the trick, otherwise the palace will be fine, and their family members will suffer first." Zhang Qian casually looked at her fingernails. The peony is indeed beautiful, and the flowers are blooming. The seasons move the capital, but too many people like it. One day, only she can have peony in this world.

Nong Mo shuddered, and quickly said: "No".

At the dinner, the empresses of the various palaces attended the banquet in full dress. The emperor had not come to the harem for a long time. As long as there were occasions where he could see the emperor, these empresses would all dress up to attract the emperor's attention. What if they succeeded?Come to think of it, these ladies are pretty pathetic.

At the dinner party, Huang Suli was particularly well-dressed, wearing a goose-yellow palace dress and complicated braided hair. Unlike other concubines, she wore a wreath on her head and did not wear traditional hairpins.

"Huang Jieyu's outfit today is really fresh and unique, His Majesty will surely discover Huang Jieyu's intentions," Zhang Qian praised with a smile.

"The empress is absurdly praised." Huang Suli was overjoyed.

Seeing this, Concubine De pursed her lips and smiled silently. Is this Huang Jieyu really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? The queen set her a trap. She couldn't even hear such a simple trap. The queen said that her majesty would definitely notice her. It will only make the concubines in other palaces jealous. It is not a good thing for concubines to be jealous, especially before you have not protected your own power.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian also covered their mouths and twitched the corners of their mouths. Recently, the palace has been calm, and finally a strange person appeared. It is his credit to make them laugh.

The concubines in the harem hadn't chatted for a long time before the servants reported that His Majesty arrived, the First Prince arrived, the Second Prince arrived, the Third Prince arrived, and the Fourth Prince arrived.

The fifth and sixth princes who had already arrived sat aside, seeing his brothers appearing with their father, they felt very uncomfortable. The fifth prince felt better. Tomorrow he will be able to enter and leave the court like his brothers Yes, but the sixth prince, there are still six years left.The one who felt worse than the two of them was Zhao Min. He was obviously 15 years old, but the emperor's brother hadn't ordered him to enter and leave the court, which made him very upset.

"See Your Majesty".

"See Father Emperor".

When everyone saw the emperor coming in, they quickly got up and saluted.

"Get up and sit down," I said, sitting on the main seat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, father."

"Wen Yu, the queen took the initiative to organize a practice banquet for you today, and then you have to toast the queen a few more glasses," Zhen said.

"Father, my son will meet, this cup of wine, my son first respects my father, I trust my son, and is willing to put such a heavy burden on my son, and secondly, I respect the empress, and I am willing to work hard for my son." After hearing this, the eldest prince immediately He picked up the wine and said to the emperor and queen.

Zhang Qian picked up the cup with a smile, and said: "After all, it is the eldest prince who can talk, quietly Liangyu, but not as sweet as the eldest prince."

"Wen Yu and Liang Yu are both good boys. You are still young after all, so you can just drink and drink, but don't be greedy and hurt your body," Zhen warned.

"No," the princes hurriedly got up and said.

"En" I nodded.

"Your Majesty, it's boring to sit like this. The concubine has prepared some songs and dances, but I want to call them up" Zhang Qian asked.

I glanced at Zhang Qian, smiled, and said: "The queen is very considerate, if that's the case, let's go."

"No..." Zhang Qian gave Nong Mo some instructions, and soon Nong Mo left. After a while, the sound of Si Zhu remembered that the dancer walked in gracefully.

After waiting for the dancing girl to come in for a while, Nong Mo came in, nodded slightly to Zhang Qian, and Zhang Qian understood.

When the banquet got to the end, Zhang Qian became more and more nervous. Why are the princes all fine now that it's almost over?Zhang Qian looked at Nong Mo, and Nong Mo was also very surprised. When he wanted to go down to see the situation, he was stopped by Xiao Anzi who was beside the emperor.

The dinner passed without any risk, Wang Zhaorong heaved a sigh of relief.

Their business is over, but mine's business is not over yet, I left the Queen and Huang Jieyu behind.

"Queen, do you have anything to explain to me?" I looked at the queen with a half-smile.

"The concubine does not know what His Majesty wants the concubine to explain?" Zhang Qian forced himself to be calm, clenched his fists, and tried to persuade himself to calm down. His Majesty was just trying to deceive her, and even if it was discovered, it would not be found on her in the end. .

"The queen doesn't know?" I continued to ask.

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty" Zhang Qian's hint to herself finally worked.

"Put medicine in the meals of all the princes. You ordered people to do it." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Yang Yong appeared with several bowls of clear soup originally intended for the princes.

"How come?" Zhang Qian exclaimed, and continued: "The prince has the flesh and blood of the concubine, how could the concubine put medicine in the prince's meal, besides, it is not the concubine who is responsible for the dinner dishes, what should the concubine do?" Poison", the queen suddenly turned her face to Huang Jieyu. "Huang Jieyu, you are so cruel, how dare you harm the emperor's heir, my good jade..." Zhang Qian burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubine did not poison the prince, Your Majesty." Huang Suli was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.

"It's not you or anyone else, you are responsible for the dishes at the dinner party, it must be you," Zhang Qian said angrily.

At this time, Huang Suli's mind turned around, and she suddenly realized that this was probably a plot by the queen's thief to catch the thief, and she quickly said: "Although the concubine is in charge of the dinner dishes, it is also the empress's order. If the empress does not order the concubine, How can the concubine be in charge of the dishes, and the empress asked the concubine Shu to take care of it before, but the concubine Shu refused, so it fell to the concubine."

"It is true that the concubine made Huang Jieyu responsible, but who knew that Huang Jieyu was ambitious and plotted to kill the emperor's heir. The concubine had no eyes and almost killed the emperor's heir. Please forgive me, Your Majesty," Zhang Qian said.

I saw the queen and Huang Jieyu evading each other, and I was a little interested at first, but then I became impatient. "Yang Yong, has the poisoner been found out?"

"Your Majesty, it has been found out, and the old slave will bring it in now," Yang Yong said.

"En" I nodded and signaled Yang Yong to do it.
