Salted fish, he thought about it

Princess?

Why did you reward him as a princess?

Jiang Juan asked blankly, "What about the prince?"

Emperor Hongxing looked kindly, "You are the concubine of the crown prince, wouldn't the fifth son become the crown prince just because of you?"

Jiang Juan: "???"

Having never heard of such a thing, Jiang Juan was extremely shocked. He had everything written on his face, and his surprise was even more obvious. Emperor Hongxing smiled and said, "I didn't break my promise, so I gave you a big reward, right?"

It's not just a heavy reward, Jiang Juan murmured, "This is too heavy."

The plot has undergone a major change again. The eldest prince should have been in charge of the government, but now he has nothing to do. Emperor Hongxing meant to make the prince the crown prince.

Jiang Juan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, does the prince know that he is going to be the prince?"

Emperor Hongxing smiled, "Wrong, you should ask, does he know that you are going to be the crown princess?"

Jiang Juan blinked, "Does the prince know?"

Emperor Hongxing said: "You should know right away."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Jiang Juan and sighed for some reason.

As he said, no matter what it is, even if it is this country, Emperor Hongxing held Xue Fangli with both hands, he would not want it, because this is Emperor Hongxing's country.

Just now Emperor Hongxing summoned Xue Fangli and only asked him a word.

——"Do you still hate me?"

Xue Fangli didn't speak, but just looked at Emperor Hongxing indifferently, without any emotion in his eyes.

He didn't even want to put on a gentle mask again, the answer was obvious, and Emperor Hongxing felt bitter, but he knew that this was the retribution he deserved.

Fortunately, no matter how much his son hated him, he cherished it in his heart.

For this treasure, Lao Wu should accept this great gift.

Emperor Hongxing closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly asked Jiang Juan, "How many things do you know?"

Jiang Juan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Emperor Hongxing was probably asking about his relationship with Yu Meiren and the prince. Jiang Juan thought about it: "Yu Meiren hates the prince, and the prince also hates her, but...Your Majesty, you seem to want him To please the poppies, so the prince has suffered a lot."

"I was just thinking..." Emperor Hongxing said slowly, "is there a woman who doesn't love her child? She refuses to stay by my side, let her give birth to a child, and there is concern in her heart. Have you changed your mind?"

"Every time she wants to put her away to death, I know it, and I'm even there, but I'm lucky," said Emperor Hongxing, "I take it as a big gamble. I bet that she won't really do it, Bet she will compromise in the end..."

"She didn't, and she didn't compromise until the end. If she doesn't love, she doesn't love. She hates me, and she hates letting go. There has never been any change."

Emperor Hongxing's voice gradually faded away. He sat on the dragon bed, no longer the majesty that Jiang Juan had when he saw him for the first time. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot. He seemed to be just a frustrated man, not a noble man. Ninety-five honors.

"Qingmei, she... won."

There was a bitterness in his throat.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xue Fangli repeated again: "Ms. Mei Concubine, what happened to this king's concubine."

His tone was not kind, and Concubine Mei was shocked when she heard it, and forced a smile: "My lord, what you said, your concubine is crying, and she came to question me instead."

Concubine Mei really felt wronged.

She had the intention of provoking trouble, relying on the presence of the Empress Dowager, she wanted the Empress Dowager to teach Princess Li a lesson, but Prince Consort Su, General Jiang and Gu Cheng all came to help her. Wasn't she a failure?

The empress dowager didn't even touch him, and even cried a lot. Is this touching porcelain?

Emperor Hongxing didn't have many concubines, but the drama of fighting for favor was indispensable. Like Jiang Juan, no one else recruited her, but she cried when Emperor Hongxing showed up. Concubine Mei was seen too often.

If it's a concubine who loves porcelain so much, Concubine Mei will definitely deal with her to death, but she can't deal with Jiang Juan, and even has to make amends: "My lord, I think... probably there is some misunderstanding. "

"Misunderstand?"

Concubine Mei was the only person outside the palace who had a problem with Jiang Juan. As for the others, no matter how smart they were, they would not dare to bully Jiang Juan. I had to ask someone else."

"Father is inside, if there is a misunderstanding, it's fine. If it's not a misunderstanding, I have no choice but to let Father judge today."

Concubine Mei's complexion changed, and Emperor Hongxing was her deathbed. She was afraid of falling out of favor, thought about it, and gritted her teeth: "...Maybe it's the Empress Dowager."

Xue Fangli frowned, "Huh?"

When he saw Jiang Juan was in tears, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about the Empress Dowager, but Jiang Juan was timid, so he shouldn't take the initiative to provoke the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was warned by him last time, and she shouldn't provoke Jiang Juan again, so Xue Fangli ruled out the empress dowager.

Concubine Mei briefly explained the matter, "The empress dowager has a lot of depression in her heart, she said a few unpleasant words, the concubine..."

If it doesn't sound good, it's nothing more than those few bastards and evil stars, he shouldn't be spared.

Xue Fangli heard it, but didn't bother to pay attention.

As the emperor's grandmother, now she can move her mouth, so what can she do?

"This king doesn't care, but he is... troublesome."

Xue Fangli snorted softly, as if he was dissatisfied, but his red lips lifted slightly.

Concubine Mei: "..."

Do you really feel troubled?

So what are you laughing at?

Concubine Mei looked at him in surprise, and forgot to continue, Xue Fangli glanced at him, his smile disappeared, and he said coldly, "Then."

Concubine Mei hurriedly said: "Wangfei retorted a few words, the empress dowager got angry and almost... gave Wangfei a slap."

Xue Fangli quickly raised his eyelids, and looked at Concubine Mei coldly. Concubine Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a chill running down her back. She hurriedly said, "I didn't hit it down. The adults—the son-in-law, Jiang Jiangjuan, and Gu Chen Stopped it, and the empress dowager left."

Didn't hit it?

His imperial grandmother really doesn't have a long memory.

Xue Fangli's face darkened.

Concubine Mei never mentioned how she caused trouble, but she was still uneasy, she said to Xue Fangli: "I will go first..."

"Stay."

Xue Fangli said with a half smile but not a smile: "Grandmother wants to slap him, so what about you, Concubine Mei?"

"I……"

Concubine Mei moved her lips, subconsciously touched her chest, but it was empty, her movements froze, remembering the lesson from last time, she finally said: "I just mentioned the four-eared cat that day to the empress dowager. "

How did she mention it, and how did she have bad intentions, Concubine Mei didn't mention a word, but even if he didn't say anything, Xue Fang knew what he knew, he nodded slightly, "I know."

After the words fell, Xue Fangli turned around and walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He didn't say or do anything, but it made Concubine Mei feel extremely uneasy. Concubine Mei bit her lip and frowned tightly, she had no choice but to comfort herself in her heart.

It's okay, it's okay.

"Your Majesty, it's not that she won, it's that you did something wrong."

When Jiang Juan said this, Xue Fangli stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he glanced at Jiang Juan.

"My lord."

Seeing Xue Fangli, Jiang Juan rolled his eyes, looking happy, and his eyes were sparkling. Xue Fangli said "um", with a normal tone, but his expression softened a little unconsciously.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Emperor Hongxing was smiling at first, but coughed uncontrollably. Manager Wang hurriedly handed over the handkerchief. After he wiped it carelessly, he sat upright again and said with a smile, "Old man, I just gave you this princess. A generous gift, do you know what it is?"

Xue Fangli asked without interest: "What?"

"My ah, what do you think of rewarding him as a crown princess?"

From a very early time, Emperor Hongxing intended to make him the crown prince, but Xue Fangli had no interest in it.

Even if this seat is flocked to by many people, even if this seat is readily available to him, it doesn't mean much to Xue Fangli, after all, even his existence is meaningless, it's just out of hatred in his heart.

——Too many people don't want him to survive, so he must survive.

Until Jiang Juan appeared.

The youth gave birth to a bodhisattva heart, and Xue Fangli's hatred and suffering in the past years have also been endowed with new meanings - to make the youth soft-hearted, to make the youth feel distressed, to let the youth love himself more, and to be more attached to himself .

From the first time he used this as a coercion, deceiving the young man to soften his heart, and coaxing the young man to be full of love and affection, Xue Fangli has already reconciled with the past.

He is no longer brooding, he is no longer indulging in the endless pain and disgust, all he thinks about is the boy, and his eyes are full of only the boy.

He even congratulates that these sufferings are enough.

The only dissatisfaction is that the young man is too timid and afraid too much.

He is always afraid.

Xue Fangli was moved and had scruples, but the young man shouldn't have any worries.

He should be carefree and fearless.

Xue Fangli did not speak, and in the long silence, Emperor Hongxing kept staring at him.

Will he accept it?

For his princess.

Maybe.

Emperor Hongxing closed his eyes.

"good."

In the next second, Xue Fangli spit out two words flatly.

Emperor Hongxing had imagined the situation at this moment many times, but he still lost his composure and burst into tears as he was really not rejected in disgust.

"Good, good, good."

Emperor Hongxing said three "good" words in a row, his lips moved, and his heart was full of emotions, but he only said one sentence, "I am sorry for you..."

Xue Fangli's expression remained unchanged, "Father, the crown prince has fulfilled your wish, and my son and minister also have a request."

Emperor Hongxing hurriedly said, "Say it."

After all, she was getting old and got on the sedan chair. The empress dowager felt very tired and her head hurt badly.

The sedan chair swayed all the way, the empress dowager supported her face, her eyelids drooped, and she was about to fall asleep, when suddenly there was a shout from behind.

"The Empress Dowager!"

"The empress dowager—!"

Manager Wang's voice was high-pitched and thin, and he trotted over with a lantern in hand. The Empress Dowager was awakened, and recognized Manager Wang's voice, so she hurriedly asked people to stop the sedan chair.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty wants to see you."

The empress dowager was stunned for a while, and then said pleasantly: "The emperor wants to see Ai's family?"

When the palace maid heard this, she smiled happily and said, "Empress Dowager, what a good thing!"

The previous fatigue was swept away, and the empress dowager smiled all over her face, "Go back quickly, go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor wants to see Ai's family."

The palace man who carried the sedan chair let out a "hey", turned around quickly, and hurried back the same way. Mr. Wang was carrying the lantern, but he was not in a hurry to follow, he just sighed, but there was no joy on his face.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager arrived. She was walking so fast that even the Grand Palace Ladies couldn't catch up. She covered her mouth and smiled, "Mother Empress, please slow down, slow down."

For ten years, Emperor Hongxing refused to see the Empress Dowager for ten years. There was a rift between their mother and son. This was the first time that Emperor Hongxing was willing to see her. How could the Empress Dowager slow down?

"Aijia is fine."

The empress dowager replied with a smile, and stretched out her hand to push open the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"His Majesty……"

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Concubine Mei knelt on the ground and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with my concubine?"

Emperor Hongxing said: "What's the matter? I want to ask you what's the matter, and people have brought all the complaints to me."

Concubine Mei was startled, and subconsciously asked him: "But Concubine Ning is so cheap—but what did Concubine Ning tell you?"

"If it's about morning tea, Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense!" Concubine Mei hastily said, "She poured tea for my concubine, but she poured the whole body of tea for my concubine, and this concubine was just in a hurry..."

Emperor Hongxing frowned and said, "Concubine Ning?"

Concubine Mei panicked when she saw this, and asked again: "Could it be Shumei?"

"Your Majesty, there is a reason why this concubine twisted the silk that you rewarded her!"

Concubine Mei eagerly argued: "I will be offering sacrifices to my ancestors soon, how can I wear red and Dai Yan, but she is impatient to have a shirt cut and made, the concubine feels bad, so..."

When it came to the end, Concubine Mei couldn't go on talking. After all, it was all excuses, and they were still very lame excuses. She tried her best to calm down, and put on a naive look as usual, "Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?" Is it the same thing?"

This move was quite effective in the past, but at this moment when she raised her head again, she saw Emperor Hongxing pursing his lips tightly, as if he was very angry, and wanted to say something, but he started coughing as soon as he opened his mouth, Concubine Mei was startled.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

She snatched the handkerchief and wanted to wipe it for Emperor Hongxing, but Emperor Hongxing pushed her away and said angrily: "I never knew that you ruled the harem like this!"

"Concubine Ning is one of the four concubines, but you asked her to pour tea for you?" Emperor Hongxing said, "It's a good day to worship your ancestors, and you can't wear red and Dai Yan. What color is your body?"

"I originally thought that you were just petty, but you understood the general situation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you the Phoenix Seal. In the end, you are kind..."

"So arrogant and domineering in private!"

Concubine Mei froze, isn't it these things?

What exactly is that?

Seeing this, Emperor Hongxing said coldly, "You have been having trouble with the fifth princess?"

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out to be Li Wang.

Concubine Mei's figure flickered, as soon as she was summoned in, she was held accountable by Emperor Hongxing. She was flustered for a while, but she forgot about it, and revealed a lot of things instead!

Concubine Mei's face turned pale, and Emperor Hongxing said disappointedly: "You are in charge of Fengyin, you should be in charge of the harem, but your fundamental virtue is not worthy!"

"Hand over the phoenix seal, and go to receive the punishment yourself—fifty boards!"

The Phoenix Seal was handed over, and many years of management were about to come to naught. Concubine Mei begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, this concubine dare not dare, so please forgive this concubine this time..."

While begging, she crawled towards Emperor Hongxing, wanting to reach out to grab his sleeve, but Emperor Hongxing raised his hand, and Concubine Mei was in vain, Emperor Hongxing said: "My will has been decided."

Concubine Mei fell to the ground, tears streaming down silently.

The empress dowager watched the farce quietly, her heart sank little by little, but she still had some hope, she asked with a smile: "The emperor asked Ai's family to come, but you figured it out?"

Emperor Hongxing just said: "Queen Mother, I will send you to Zhao'an Temple in a few days. From now on... you will always be with the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp in Zhao'an Temple, and you will never go back to the palace."
