As soon as the early autumn of Chang'an City arrives, the atmosphere in the whole Chang'an seems to have changed, when you see the red leaves on the palace wall, the heart will inexplicably give birth to a bit of solemnity, although the red leaves at this time are only occasionally a piece, but the heart still feels that the environment has completely changed.

The day of His Majesty's going to Taishan has already been set, all the carriages and horses are also ready, and they can set off in two days, and His Majesty chose the day of climbing Taishan on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the day of the founding of Daning, the meaning is naturally self-evident.

It will take about a month to walk along the way, and it is expected to reach the foot of Taishan Mountain as soon as it first appears in September.

For this matter, even the old family members of the Mabang who have been wandering around have returned, and the families of the nobles in the palace have visited, and the female dependents can stay in the palace, but the man is definitely not good, but that is the father of Concubine Zhen, and His Majesty has long ordered no one to disturb.

In the palace of Concubine Zhen.

After the old boss got up, as always, he played a boxing, now at this age, boxing has no vigor when the fierce domineering, in the old master's own words, this is health boxing, before a punch and a punch tiger and tiger, now a punch and a punch Wang Ba walks.

The old master loves to drink tea, and he must drink it every morning after practicing, and unlike most of the tea customers in the south of Daning, the old man is not interested in a wide variety of and extremely valuable good teas, he has never drunk any tea in this status, and the tea sent to him by the emperor every year is enough to drink, but the old man still prefers the flower tea of his hometown.

Flower tea is often considered to be on the table, the old people wander around in Chang'an City, and find that the tea prepared for the guests in the general restaurant is flower tea, or the kind of very cheap flower tea, the common people call it tea blank, tea soil, tea crushed, and the more particular ones have to say an elegant name, called Gao Crushed.

The old boss still thinks that the cheapest high crushed taste is good, the entrance is bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet.

The teacup was steaming, and the forehead of the old master was also slightly steaming, and after a punch, he sat in the yard and drank tea, which looked so comfortable.

Concubine Zhen personally cooked and made breakfast, watching her daughter bring breakfast over with a smile that was a little cute, no matter how old her daughter was, she was always the little wayward girl in his eyes.

The old master is good at drinking tea, the old lady is good at drinking, and she will drink a cup in the morning, and the old master has not changed it for so many years, but fortunately, what he drank in the morning was not a strong wine, but a warm flower wine.

"Old drunk!"

The old boss snorted.

The old lady glanced at him: "Old smoking gun." ”

The old master's pipe has been lit, and he takes two sips: "Watch me clean you up in a while!" ”

The old lady pouted: "I've blown the cow for most of my life, so it's a clean-up?" ”

Concubine Zhen smiled: "You two can't help but talk? ”

The old lady said, "That's boring. ”

The old boss nodded: "Don't talk about it, life is boring." ”

He put down his pipe, as if he wanted to say something, and finally just picked up the porridge bowl and drank the porridge without saying anything.

The old lady had a glass of wine, covered the flask, put the glass aside, and liked to drink, but a small glass at breakfast, a small glass at lunch, and a little more at dinner.

"If you don't say it, I say."

The old lady waved her hand: "You all go down, I will say a few words to your concubine Zhenniang." ”

The attendants waiting in the courtyard all retreated, and the three of them were left in the courtyard, and the old lady's hand was on the table, her fingers lightly touched the table, and she was silent for a while, probably sorting out the words.

"Grind and chirp."

The old master put down the porridge bowl, looked at his daughter and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Zhen was stunned: "I didn't have much." ”

The old master sighed: "The day after tomorrow, I will go to Taishan with Your Majesty, and when you arrive in Taishan, Your Majesty will definitely crown you as the queen, in the past, you always refused, or avoided talking about it, but this time Your Majesty told you that you didn't say anything, I heard it, you said...... Good. ”

The old master asked, "Is there something in your heart?" ”

"Nope."

Concubine Zhen smiled, but her smile was a little less relaxed.

"What's on my mind, I just don't want him to be too embarrassed, if he is just my husband, I can be willful, but he is still Your Majesty, I can't be willful all the time, Daning has never had a queen, the people feel that it is inappropriate, the country has no queen, it is not a complete country."

"You can't lie."

The old lady sighed: "Not since I was a child. ”

She looked at Concubine Zhen and said, "At that time, I asked you if you were in love with His Royal Highness King Liu, how could you say that he is so old, and the result?" Your mother and I can see through it at a glance that it is a lie...... When you lied that day, your eyes were almost exactly the same as now, the difference is that you had a smile on your face that day, and now you are also smiling on your face, but they are all worried. ”

Concubine Zhen sat there and let out a long breath.

"I didn't want to be a queen before, because I felt that I was not worthy of my identity, and I didn't have the ability to be a queen, I couldn't let people say that the queen of Daning was not good, and she was not worthy of the queen's identity, that was a humiliation to Your Majesty...... Moreover, that incident has always been a knot in my heart back then, I can't even give the title of a child, why should I be the queen of Daning? What face to be the queen of Daning. ”

She looked at the old master and the old lady: "But now it's different, I become the queen, and I can better protect them." ”

The old master sighed again: "I know." ”

The old lady nodded: "It's right to think so, you are the queen to protect Leng Zi and Cha'er, and you are more powerful." ”

"The two of them have never bullied anyone, and I can't let them be bullied again in the future."

Concubine Zhen smiled, although she was very reluctant, but after these words came out, she looked at her mood and eased a little.

"Let's eat, I'm going out the day after tomorrow, and I still have some things to pack."

Concubine Zhen lowered her head to eat, and the worry in her eyes did not dare to let her father and mother see it.

"Kid."

The old master stretched out his hand and touched Concubine Zhen's head: "You are Concubine Zhen, you are the queen, you are still the little master of the horse gang back then, identity or something, in the eyes of my father and mother, the important thing is that you are my father's daughter, no matter what you decide, what you do, your father and mother are on your side, your father and I have been reasonable all my life, but when it comes to two people, I don't need to be reasonable, one is you, the other is your mother, because of the two of you, I will reason with others Isn't it an idiot?" When your father is unreasonable, he is more efficient than when he is reasonable. ”

He smiled: "Eat." ”

At the same time, in the palace of Yi Guifei.

The second prince sat there looking at the breakfast in front of him in a daze, and Concubine Yi gave him a bowl of porridge and put it in front of him: "What's wrong?" ”

The second prince raised his head and looked at his biological mother, and shook his head a little sadly:

"I heard that my father ordered Shen Leng to be punished yesterday and fined him for three years...... Mother, what did Shen Leng do wrong to suffer such unfairness? Just because of me? Just because I'm going to become the crown prince, my father has to suppress him? ”

"Silly boy."

Concubine Yi was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand to let all her subordinates retreat.

"Changye, your father is not only doing this for you, but also for Shen Leng's good, do you really think that your father really wants to suppress Shen Leng? You just need to know that your father must have thought more comprehensively and deeply than you. ”

Concubine Yi said while serving vegetables to the second prince: "Your father is going to leave the favor to you." ”

"I don't want it."

The second prince stood up: "Why, the right person should be punished, and he will be rewarded in the future, can he be the emperor and play with people's hearts?" ”

"Shut up!"

Concubine Yi was so frightened by this sentence that her face was bloodless: "Shut up, how dare you say anything." ”

The second prince sighed: "I just don't understand, my father thinks it's right, and you think it's right to do this, mother, but this kind of rightness is based on Shen Leng's knowledge of advance and retreat, to put it bluntly, it is to bully people who understand the rules and abide by the rules, and those who don't follow the rules will be appeased, and those who abide by the rules will be bullied, what is the difference between this and an obedient child who does not reward a disobedient child with candy to eat?" ”

Concubine Yi sighed: "The affairs in the court, how can they be as superficial as you think. ”

"It's not that complicated."

The second prince looked at the food on the table: "It's all because of me that Shen Leng will be punished, even if I compensate him for what Shen Leng lost in the future, I will also feel indebted in my heart." ”

Concubine Yi sighed, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, and she didn't dare to say it, if she said this sentence and His Majesty knew it, I was afraid that His Majesty would never have a good face for her in the future.

An hour later, the second prince has been gone for a while, he has too much homework every day, and there is almost no idle time, and Concubine Yi has a lot of idle time every day, so she often sits in the courtyard in a daze, looking at the flowers and trees in front of her, but in fact, there is nothing in her eyes.

The bright colors of flowers and plants, in her heart, will drop a little, it's not that she thinks it's unfair, it's not that she's in a gloomy mood, she's such a cautious person, a cautious person to the bone, so she really never thought about whether she should fight for the queen's position, because she felt that she didn't deserve to be a queen at all.

The queen of Daning, she has to be magnificent, graceful, and have the heart of the world.

"Child......"

Concubine Yi looked at the door and muttered to herself.

She is not a bad person, she has never been, she is not a scheming person, she just has too much time to spare, and she will always figure out some problems when she thinks about it, and after thinking about it, she will be more open-minded than others, but she can only hide these things in her heart, even if her son Changye inherits the throne in the future, she can't say it, she can't say it for the rest of her life.

The second prince thought that His Majesty was suppressing Shen Leng because of him, which was unfair, and now everyone inside and outside the court felt so, and they all felt that Shen Leng was innocent, but this was exactly the situation His Majesty wanted to see.

She wanted to say, "Silly boy...... Your father just wants you to feel that you owe Shen Leng in your heart, so that you will not owe him again in the future, your father is not only thinking about you, but also thinking about Shen Leng. ”

You really can't just say that.
