After hearing this, Eunuch Hong stood by and secretly praised the Second Prince's move. In fact, His Majesty didn't believe that he could be so stupid, and the matter was really weird. He hired a group of people to pretend to be disciples of a certain house to convince the courtiers.

Support the second prince to become the crown prince? Foolish move!

It is really untenable to say that the prince did it. The four princes are all smart people, and even the fifth prince is an upright person. There are princesses and consorts behind him, so they should not be able to do such a thing.

The second prince said that it was done by foreigners, which really touched His Majesty's heart.

Emperor Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the redness on Xiao Lingtang's forehead, and said thoughtfully: "Get up and talk again."

Xiao Lingtang stopped when it was time, gritted his teeth and stood up, then said: "I know that my father will not be deceived by traitors. This plan is really crude. I have been cautious in my words and actions since the last incident about the Flying Dragon Talisman.

This time I can say that I can stand up straight and upright!"

Emperor Yuan raised his head and thought about Nan Ying paying money to borrow money to look at Anshan Mountain. His heart was also ups and downs: "There are many doubts about this matter. Yuan Buqi is not in the capital. Meng Tianqi is going to track down the person behind the scenes. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore."

Pay attention."

Only then did Xiao Lingtang feel relieved. It seemed that this level of difficulty was over.

But before he could really take a breath, he heard Emperor Yuan say: "Today, the matter of re-establishing the East Palace was mentioned. What do you think?"

Xiao Lingtang almost couldn't catch his breath. Emperor Pian Yuan snorted lightly, as if urging him to answer. He was so surprised that he broke into a cold sweat. The words the old gentleman told him were always running in his mind.

"Father, I think that although Lidong Palace is related to the country, and there have been disputes over the establishment of officials and virtuous people throughout the ages, I dare to say something - Lidong Palace is actually a royal family matter. Since it is a family matter, you can listen to the advice of the ministers, but because of

The head of the family is the one who makes the decision.”

Eunuch Hong clicked his tongue. Although he had known that the second prince had a sharp tongue, speaking like this was so bold and flattering. He didn't see the smile on His Majesty's face getting thicker and thicker. This really spoke to His Majesty's heart.

No matter how much the ministers quarrel, it is His Majesty who has the final say whether to stand or not, and who to stand. It is wonderful to say a word about family affairs!

I thought that the last blow made the second prince stop and feel cold. Today, he looks like a general, and his behavior is better than before. Today, he will definitely gain points in His Majesty's heart.

Emperor Yuan's face softened slightly: "You are in it and don't want to fight for yourself?"

The sweat on Xiao Lingtang's back became even more intense: "I think it's too early. My father is in his prime, and I and others still need to be mentored. It's difficult for them to shoulder their great responsibilities. Nowadays, Southern Ying and Northern Desert are dishonest, and recently the Northwest Territories

The floods in the Central Plains and the drought in South China all need to be solved urgently."

"The bandits on the water have not been eliminated, the mountain bandits have not been eliminated, and there are many other things. Why should my father be worried about establishing the East Palace?" Xiao Lingtang's tongue touched his teeth. Does he want to enter the East Palace? Yes! But he hasn't started yet.

You've lost the opportunity, and you have to say things even if you don't want to!

"You are Qingming." Emperor Yuan saw the serious look on his face, and felt a little relieved: "This matter should be caused by provocation. It's best if you think clearly. It's not early, so step back."

"My son, please retire." Xiao Lingtang suppressed the fear in his heart and hurriedly withdrew. After walking out for a while, he suddenly stopped and turned back. He happened to see Emperor Yuan coming out of the imperial study. He stood there and watched.

Take a look, it seems to be heading towards Leng Gong?

Xiao Lingtang was horrified, fearing that Emperor Yuan would discover him, so he gritted his teeth and walked away first.

As he walked, he thought about what had just happened, and then thought about the real-name Empress Chen living in the cold palace, and his heart beat like a drum. He just said that it was wrong to establish elders or virtuous people. There is another situation, that is, a concubine becomes a direct descendant!

It is unlikely that this legitimate son will come out of the queen's belly, but there is still a way to abolish the queen and re-establish the queen!

It turns out that the concubine born to the palace concubine has become a real legitimate son.

As soon as they talked about the Lidong Palace, Emperor Yuan went to the Cold Palace. Xiao Lingtang had a bad idea. Could it be that his father thought the time was ripe to touch Empress Chen? But wasn't Jinhua back? He couldn't protect her legitimate son.

Has the status of eldest princess?

After thinking about it, he secretly laughed at his own naivety. It was not easy to protect the royal sister's status as a legitimate princess. She just had to hang herself under the new queen's knees again. After all, her biological mother had never entered the palace.

Xiao Lingtang successfully escaped this difficulty and left with a little drum beat in his heart.

As he expected, Emperor Yuan did go to the Cold Palace to visit his former first wife. Empress Chen lived here in seclusion and suffered a lot of cold treatment. It was the hot summer, and the palace was filled with a sultry atmosphere. Now she had no ice to mobilize, and could only rely on a

Support the old cattail leaf fan.

After hearing the report from the palace officials, she sat motionless on a recliner. Seeing this, Eunuch Hong wanted to scold her, but Emperor Yuan stopped her.

"go out."

The only couple left in the palace, who had long since broken up, was Queen Chen. She opened her eyes lazily, and her eyes were a bit cloudy. There were a lot of gray hairs hidden in her original black hair, and the skin on her face was sagging.

Many people who were once pampered and prosperous have become old.

However, Empress Chen thought that Emperor Yuan was not much better. Although he looked lively and energetic, the fatigue shown on his brows could not be concealed. She was living in seclusion here and there was no news coming out. She was like a walking corpse, but looking at Emperor Yuan's face

I also know that the court is uneasy.

"It's rare that Your Majesty still remembers that there is a concubine in the palace." Empress Chen was too lazy to maintain the superficial peace.

Emperor Yuan disagreed. He sat down and looked at the ten-year-old Empress Chen: "The Marquis of Zhenbei is getting married. He married Cheng Cen."

Queen Chen's eyes widened and she looked at Emperor Yuan in disbelief. She could not connect Chen Tianxiao and Cheng Cen. How could these two people come together? Emperor Yuan wanted to disgust the Cheng family and Chen Tianxiao?

"Chen Tianxiao took the initiative to mention this matter. I am just trying to help him. He doesn't care about human relations and wants to get married. He is not afraid of the world's ridicule. He just wants to take this opportunity to borrow Mr. Cheng's reputation, so I will help him. It's just a pity.

, he doesn’t know Mr. Cheng well enough.”

Emperor Yuan paused for a moment when he said this. Chen Tianxiao didn't understand it, so how could he understand it?

"On the day Cheng Senyuan got married, Mr. Cheng announced in public that he had severed all ties with her. Moreover, something happened later and Mr. Cheng had already left Hexi. It was impossible for Chen Tianxiao to rely on Mr. Cheng's unsheng's popular prestige.

"

Empress Chen's heart was pounding. She couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or anger. Her relationship with Chen Tianxiao was actually not very close, but compared to her resentment towards Emperor Yuan, Chen Tianxiao occasionally had the upper hand. Last time she encouraged Chen Tianxiao to rebel five times.

Be sincere.

She pinched her fingers and sneered: "It's just a pity for Mr. Cheng. Could he have killed himself?"
