The weather was sunny and all the doors and windows in the Queen's Palace were wide open.
The strong wind brings the fragrance of flowers and grass to my face.
The palace maids and the eunuchs shuttled back and forth, the peach pink palace clothes and the parrot green eunuch clothes complementing each other.
The queen has been particularly generous recently and rewards them from time to time.
These slaves who were imprisoned by the palace walls only had real things that made them feel dependent and hopeful.
The newly folded peach blossoms are placed in the sapphire vase, and the burning color is pleasing to the eye.
The music officer of the training workshop played the pipa strings as happily as the oriole coming out of the valley. The queen lay on her side on the soft couch, lightly closing her eyes, with a relaxed expression on her face.
A little palace lady who was beating her legs knelt on the ground and beat her legs slowly for the queen.
Zhou Ren walked in with small steps, a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye, and a determined look.
"Your Majesty, it's time to change the curtains in our palace. They are all a bit old." Zhou Ren said in a low voice, "What's more, the weather is getting hot now."
The queen slowly opened her eyes, looked around and said, "You have to do what you want! Don't make the color too bright, otherwise the emperor will feel uncomfortable when he returns to the palace."
Although Cen Yunchu's status was not as high as hers, the queen did not have to mourn for her.
But after all, you can't go too far, otherwise it will cause the emperor's displeasure.
"I know," Zhou Ren quickly agreed, "it must be in line with the status of a queen, graceful and luxurious."
The queen looked at the green jade bracelet on her hand, which was like a pool of spring water.
At this age, she no longer cares about favors and favors, she only cares about honor and luxury.
As Zhou Ren said, the queen is indeed in a good mood recently.
I haven't been this calm and peaceful for a long time.
When Cen Yunchu was here, she often had worries about "how to allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed."
Now I can sleep until dawn.
Zhou Ren picked some funny things and told them to the queen, who was so amused that she laughed.
He can sit in this position not only because he is evil-minded and ruthless, but also because he has the ability to please the queen. Otherwise, how could he get his turn?
At this time, the little eunuch who was delivering the news came in and said that the prince had come to pay his respects to the queen.
As soon as he finished speaking, the prince walked in furiously.
Zhou Ren quickly said hello, and winked behind him to the other servants in the room, telling them to get out.
The queen is in a good mood recently, and she is naturally even happier to see her son.
Asked the prince: "Isn't it time to study with the prince? Why are you here?"
The prince is just twenty years old this year. He is tall and thin and looks more like the queen.
"Taifu Sun is old and people are confused," the prince said with a hint of impatience in his tone, "My son doesn't want to listen to his verbosity every day.
I have long said that Chen Yuzhong is more in line with his son's temperament, but my father never agreed."
When the queen heard this, she first smiled, and then patiently advised: "Choosing a teacher is a big deal. Your father values Taifu Sun, so you can't make your own decisions.
As a prince, you need to be more cautious in your words and deeds. Your father and the courtiers have high hopes for you, and I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you!"
"Apart from the people of the Cen family, who else is looking at my mistakes?" The prince snorted and said, "Now that the source of disaster has been eliminated, their family has no support, and they will die in my hands sooner or later!"
"You just said it and you forgot, are these words nonsense? Your irritable temper is just following your uncle. Why can't you be more like your father? Only by being calm and forbearing can you achieve great things." The Queen spoke earnestly and thoughtfully.
In fact, she gradually felt helpless. The older her son got, the less likely he was to be taught by her.
That's why she tried her best to clear the obstacles for her son to become emperor.
"My uncle is the Minister of the Ministry of War and holds a first-rank official position. What's wrong with that?" the prince said.
He also didn't want to think about how his uncle got this position.
The queen was unwilling to quarrel with her son as soon as they met, not to mention that the more quarrels she made, the further away he would be pushed.
So he calmed down and said: "It's just a matter of reading. If you don't like to listen to the master, you can read the books you like when you go back, or ask other knowledgeable people to tell you about it. Don't worry too much about it."
Hearing what the queen said, the prince was speechless.
The queen asked him about his diet and daily life again, but the prince made some perfunctory remarks.
Then he asked: "When will that little scoundrel be dealt with?"
"Why are you worried about this? I told you earlier that you don't have to worry about these things. I'll take care of them." The queen tried her best not to let her son interfere with the affairs of the harem. "You should pay more attention to your interactions with the ministers of the previous dynasty. You will be indispensable in the future."
Let’s borrow their strength.”
"Those sour-hearted people are all left-minded, and I can't bear to talk to them in a low voice." The prince said, "After all, this is the world of our Si family, when will it be their turn to have the final say?
After all, that little scoundrel is what worries me, right? My father must be partial to him."
In his view, as an emperor and ministers, the people who can make him sit on the throne of emperor are not these ministers.
Likewise, it is not these people who are holding him back.
"Don't speak so openly again, or you may cause trouble," the queen said.
"What are you afraid of? This is in the mother's harem, and there is no one else." The prince didn't take it seriously. "When you go outside, I will naturally know to be careful."
"Cen Yunchu is dead. Even if he has escaped a great disaster, as for the little one, he cannot be established as the prince right after he is born." The queen had the queen's plan, "If you do too much, the emperor will definitely be angry. On the contrary, he will be angry."
Not beautiful."
"Did the queen forget to cut the grass without eradicating the roots, and the spring breeze will bring new growth?" The prince said, "My father will definitely be unhappy anyway, so it would be better to end it once and for all."
"Why do you have to be so anxious?" The queen felt it was necessary to make it clear to the prince that she must not act rashly. "But who said anything to you?"
The queen was afraid that someone would say provocative words in front of the prince. After all, he was still young. If he made a mistake due to lack of consideration, he would regret it.
Who would have thought that after hearing the queen's words, the prince's eyes dodged a little, and he said: "No one said anything, but I think it is a rare opportunity that my father is not in the capital now.
Otherwise, when we come back, we will naturally be protecting that little beast everywhere, and it will be even more difficult for us to take action."
The queen knows her son better than his mother. Although he is a little impatient, it is not to this extent.
"Did you hear any rumors?" the queen asked him, "that night there was a fire in the harem, and it burned for half the night before being rescued.
The fire is soaring into the sky, and the sky is naturally turned red. Is there any wonder in this?
You are the emperor's legitimate son. As long as you stand upright and act steadily, how can the position of emperor fall into the hands of others in the future?
As for those rumors that confuse the public, I will deal with them sooner or later. If you don't take offense, you will lose yourself. How can there be any trouble? I would have messed up first."
It turned out that when Cen Yun gave birth to the fifth prince, many people in the palace saw a ball of red light falling from the sky and falling into the palace where she was.
So some people said that these five princes had extraordinary origins.
When the prince heard the news, he couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart, and even wanted to get rid of the fifth prince.
