The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Tao Anran really didn't wake up until the sun was high. When he woke up, he looked at the strange bed curtain and wondered where he was.Then it took a while to come back to his senses, knowing that he had returned to Beijing, and now he was in Yingyue Pavilion, a small courtyard of the palace.

Tao Anran just sat up on the bed when Bai Lu Hanlu appeared in front of him with toiletries.He was lazily dressed by the waiter, and seeing the sun shining, he couldn't help but ask, "What time is it now? Where's the prince?"

While making the bed, Bai Lu replied: "Princess, it's already a quarter of an hour. The prince has already entered the palace to go to court when he was Mao. Before he left, he specifically told us not to wake you up, so that you can have a good rest."

Tao Anran asked in surprise, "Is it already this hour? Why did I sleep for so long?"

After he washed, he gently twisted his arms and legs to move his body.They traveled all the way from Yunzhou in the northwest to the capital, either on horseback or in a carriage.But after a good night's sleep, I finally felt down-to-earth.

After sorting out the things in hand, Han Lu asked, "Princess, breakfast is ready, do you want to pass it in now?"

While doing stretching exercises, Tao Anran said, "Let's pass it on, it's getting late, just eat something."

Han Lu immediately took orders and brought breakfast soon.After Tao Anran exercised her body, she quickly finished her breakfast.Then I was ready to wander around the mansion.

He is very familiar with the palace in Yunzhou, but he is still unfamiliar with the palace in the capital.At the beginning, he and Xiao Jingyu got married here, but they went to the Northwest together within two days.His current impression of this palace is that there is a pond in the backyard, connected to a pavilion, and it is good to enjoy the lotus and the moon in summer.

Tao Anran strolled leisurely to the front yard, just in time to see Xiao Jingyu returning home.Xiao Jingyu also happened to see him and immediately walked towards him.

Both of them walked towards each other, Tao Anran spoke first: "My lord, you're back. My lord gets up early to go to court, can I eat early?"

Xiao Jingyu replied: "Go to court and eat a little bit, but it's okay. I'm just going to find you, come with me, the palace has rewarded some things, you can see if you like it."

Tao Anran followed him, and saw several eunuchs in uniform in the courtyard holding trays with jewelry and cloth on them.

Seeing that the prince and concubine were present, a eunuch who was obviously of a higher rank quickly began to introduce the things rewarded by the palace.He is the person in charge of delivering things, known as Xiao Linzi.

Xiao Linzi opened a wooden box first, and then introduced: "My lord and concubine, these are purple ganoderma lucidum and century-old wild ginseng, which are perfect for nourishing qi and blood. Ordinary nourishing can also prolong life and beautify the skin."

Seeing that the prince and concubine did not respond, he continued to introduce: "My lord and concubine, these two pieces of cloth are Yunjin and Lingjin newly tributed from the south of the Yangtze River, and there are only a few pieces in the palace."

He continued his efforts: "These are a set of hair crowns and hairpins made by Ziyu. The last one is a pair of glazed jade, which is pure and flawless, transparent and can be used for everyday play."

After listening to the introduction, Xiao Jingyu looked at the concubine and asked, "Do you like these? Let Bai Lu and the others take them to the Yingyue Pavilion. Ziyu hairpins can be used to tie your hair. Give the brocade and brocade to the mansion." The embroiderer will cut some clothes for you."

Tao Anran smiled and said: "That's fine, and I will also cut a suit of clothes for the prince. But the medicinal materials are really useless to me, so let's put them in the warehouse of the mansion first. And the glass, it looks very interesting, I want to carefully look at it." have a look."

When Xiao Jingyu heard this, he took out the glazed jade on the tray and put it in Wang Hao's hand.Tao Anran took a closer look, isn't this just glass?Unexpectedly, the value of the sudden change is as high as that of gems.

Seeing that the princess couldn't put it down, Xiao Jingyu said, "Why don't someone polish this pair of glazed clasps and make it into a beautiful jade pendant to carry with you?"

Use glass as a jade pendant?Tao Anran shook his head, and replied: "You don't need too many jade pendants, just keep this one for normal use."

Xiao Jingyu had no objection, and said, "I will do as you wish."

Xiao Jingyu gestured to her side, and the butler Wang Dahai immediately asked someone to take away the reward, then took out a purse and stuffed it into Xiao Linzi's hand, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law has worked hard, just be careful, take it and treat the brothers to drink." Order some tea."

Xiao Linzi pretended to evade for a while, and then said: "There is no hard work, it is a small blessing to be able to send things to the Wangfu."

The two exchanged some polite words, then Xiao Linzi took his leave and left.However, he could tell that the prince of Zhenbei really cares about the princess, and if there is a reward, he will let the princess choose first, and he can't wait to move directly to the princess' room.And the princess did not forget to cut clothes for the prince, the two were really in love.

Xiao Jingyu and Tao Anran were walking towards the backyard of the mansion, when Xiao Jingyu said suddenly on the way: "Of course, there will be a family banquet in the palace on the Lantern Festival tomorrow, you have to go with me."

Tao Anran was a little surprised: "Family banquet? Are we with the emperor? Then do I need to prepare anything? Should I go to see him first?"

Xiao Jingyu looked at him and said: "There is no need to prepare anything, I have already told my father, you are exhausted, see you tomorrow. But although it is a family banquet, there are not only us at the banquet, I will introduce you later. "

Tao Anran nodded, that's fine, he can also be mentally prepared when he goes to visit the emperor tomorrow.

Xiao Jingyu said again: "However, it's better to dress more solemnly tomorrow. You always only like to wear simple and elegant clothes, and the colors are mostly dull. It's better to wear some colorful clothes tomorrow."

Tao Anran glanced at the moon-white clothes on her body, and remembered it in her heart.However, he looked at Xiao Jingyu's black clothes and said with a smile: "The prince also wants to change clothes, I always see you in black clothes. I remember I asked someone to make two sets of dark blue thick clothes, we can Put it on together, so people can see that we are a couple."

It was a couple outfit that he specially asked to make, not only winter clothes, but also thin shirts for spring and summer.It's a pity that Xiao Jingyu prefers black, and these clothes are rarely worn.

Xiao Jingyu saw Wang Hao's careful thinking at a glance, but he didn't point it out, and thought it was not bad.So naturally there is no objection.

In the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, there was a lot of joy and harmony, and when discussing what clothes to wear to the banquet, the imperial study in the palace was in a quiet atmosphere. At this moment, a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

After Xiao Jingyu retired, Emperor Jinde thought for a long time, and then he had his confidant ministers such as Taishi, Taiwei, Zhongshuling, and other confidants come into the palace to discuss matters.

After the ministers arrived, Emperor Jinde said directly: "The ministers in the court have been asking for a crown prince. I am old and have already considered this matter. Who do you think can take on this important task?"

All the ministers who were still guessing what they were summoned for, became as quiet as a chicken when they heard Emperor Jin De's straightforward words.

Taishi Zhang Xuan and Taiwei Gu Rong are also old, and they enjoy amusing their grandchildren on weekdays, so they would not easily enter the palace.The positions of Taishi and Taiwei are even more of an honor.Today they were summoned, and they looked at each other, knowing that something big must have happened.Sure enough, it is a matter of the crown prince and the foundation of the country.

Zhongshu Ling Wen Jue, Wang Shi Zhongshi, Left Servant Huang Chong, Right Servant Yao Yuan are all important officials of the court, and they also participate in the decision-making and execution of the government on weekdays.At this time, when I heard the question, although I also wanted to keep quiet, but my duty was to express my opinion.

So after being silent for a while, the left servant shot Huang Chong and said, "Your Majesty, the king of Zhenbei has made great military achievements in guarding the frontier, and the king of Liang has made great achievements in water control. Prince."

This sentence seems to be an answer, but in fact it doesn't say anything.After all, there is only one crown prince, but now there are two princes who are suitable.Moreover, it is well known that the crown prince was born between the two princes.

After Huang Chong finished speaking, he withdrew. He knew that the more it was like this, the less he could express his attitude.Moreover, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, no one knows what the Holy Majesty is thinking, if you don't pay attention, you may step into a pit.

Emperor Jinde took a sip of tea slowly and looked at the old foxes below.Knowing that if they are not serious, they will not express their views.It's just ambiguously fooling him like this.

Emperor Jin De began to roll his name, "What is Yao Qing thinking? Where are Wen Qing and Wang Qing?"

Since he was named, he had no choice but to answer. Yao Yuan stepped forward and replied, "I have the same thoughts as Mr. Huang, so I don't know how to choose."

Wen Jue and Wang Shi followed closely and said: "The same is true for the ministers."

Emperor Jin De's expression remained unchanged, and he asked the grand master beside him, "Grand master, what do you think, I want to hear the truth?"

Grand Master Zhang Xuan looked at his gray beard, sighed in his heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has some ideas. It stands to reason that the crown prince should be the heir and the head, so the king of Zhenbei should be the prince. It's just that the old minister I heard that King Zhenbei's health seems not to be in good shape after years of fighting, which is not good for the country. But if it is because of this, it seems unfair to King Zhenbei. So the old minister really doesn't know what to do."

Emperor Jin De laughed, and then said under the puzzled eyes of everyone: "Don't worry about this, King Zhenbei is now in good health and has no illness."

Everyone's expressions changed, King Zhenbei's body was poisoned earlier and his life span was hindered, but now he is completely healed.Does the sage mean that he is determined to make King Zhenbei the crown prince?

Taiwei Gu Rong took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, since King Zhenbei is in good health and he is the eldest son, he should be the crown prince. It's just that King Zhenbei has been in the northwest frontier for many years, and the people don't know much about it. Instead, Liang The king is very popular among the common people, and at this time, making the king of Zhenbei the crown prince may be considered unfair by the ignorant people."

Emperor Jinde nodded in agreement and said, "The Taiwei's concerns are justified. In this way, whoever is appointed as the crown prince will be suspected of being unfair. Can you have a way to get the best of both worlds?"

Everyone was in trouble for a while, at this time Huang Chong said: "The prince is the foundation of the country, and it is related to the destiny of the country. The choice must be more cautious. But if everyone can be convinced, then the choice must be correct. The minister has come up with a way."

Emperor Jin De said quickly, "Huang Qing, please tell me."

Huang Chong immediately replied: "It's better to set a test for the two princes and see which one is better. The result will come out naturally."
