Can the Queen smile and ask: "I wonder which girl is lucky enough to fall in His Majesty's favor?"
"She is Jin Gu's daughter. Her name is Jin Lingyi. That girl is very good." The emperor said, "She is Lan Ning's cousin."
"I wonder who recommended her to Your Majesty? I remember that Your Majesty never cared about such things." The Queen was so angry that she wanted to find out who had proposed Jin Lingyi before the Emperor.
"No one recommended her." The emperor chuckled, "I noticed her accidentally when there was a banquet in the palace. Later, I asked several courtiers, and they all said that the Jin family has a good family tradition."
"But, Your Majesty..." The queen still wanted to turn the tide.
"Ziyun, I am also thinking about you." The emperor interrupted her, "You and Concubine Fu are not getting along well because of many things. As the lord of the Sixth Palace and the mother of a country, you should come up with something
Come in a magnanimous manner.
No matter who the second child marries, she is our daughter-in-law and must obey you. After all, you are their aunt.
If you marry a girl from the Jin family, the courtiers will definitely think that you are upright and upright regardless of past grievances. Concubine Fu and her family will also be greatly impressed by this. Do you think this is the truth?"
Of course the Queen understood what the Emperor meant, but that was not what she thought in her heart.
She has long since determined that the conflict with Concubine Fu and others is difficult to bridge. Either you die or I die.
There is absolutely no need to maintain a superficial appearance of harmony.
But she couldn't disobey the emperor. In this matter, the emperor insisted that the second prince marry Jin Lingyi.
Now we need to discuss it with her in a good voice and analyze the pros and cons honestly. If she continues to disagree, it will be tantamount to being disrespectful.
Yao Ziyun knew in her heart that she could not lose the emperor's favor at any time, especially since the emperor had warned him a few days ago.
If you don't compromise on this matter, the emperor will definitely have a grudge in his heart, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Of course she was not just an idle person to be able to sit on the throne of the queen. She immediately said with great joy: "I am heartily convinced by your majesty's proposal. Originally, I was thinking about choosing one of Concubine Hui's natal relatives or Concubine Li.
Choose one of your relatives from your natal family. Now that you have mentioned this girl from the Jin family, it should be her!"
"Okay, I know you are the most reasonable and knowledgeable." The emperor was indeed very happy, "It is true that I value you and feel sorry for you."
"Your Majesty does not think that I am stupid, and you always help me with my plans, which makes me feel at ease." The queen looked at the emperor affectionately, "I don't know what has happened to me recently, but I feel very worried. I always look forward to it.
Your Majesty will feel at ease if he can sit in the concubine's palace and talk."
"I am busy with official duties, and sometimes I do neglect you. Only when we, husband and wife, are of one mind can the country be stable and the relationship be long-lasting." The emperor was inevitably a little ashamed when she said this. "I will rest in your palace today and order someone to take care of the prince."
Please come over and let our family of three have a good meal."
After hearing this, the queen winked at the people in front of her, telling them to remind the prince to behave well in front of the emperor.
The prince fell behind a lot because of his previous work. Even though Xu Shaobao and others were watching him closely every day, he just couldn't cheer up.
It's like a horse that is carrying a load. After it has been relieved of its load halfway and has had a good time, and then is asked to carry the load again, it will never be the same as before.
If the teacher presses too hard, he will complain that he has a headache.
He may not be lying, because he really felt a headache at that time.
When those people saw him like this, they didn't dare to do anything else. If he did something bad, it would be a crime for everyone to be executed.
Fortunately, the queen did not come to check these days, so they had to coax the prince to learn more.
The prince came over before lunch and respectfully greeted the emperor and the queen. The emperor looked at him and said, "Why haven't you grown in these days? You seem to have lost some weight. What do the people who usually serve you give you?
?”
"Children grow earlier or later, so there is no need to rush. Besides, his schoolwork is really heavy. He gets up before dawn every day to study and rests very late." The queen quickly spoke for her son, "
There is no one who is not serving you with unsatisfactory service, Your Majesty, please do not blame them wrongly."
"Then tell me, what have you learned recently?" the emperor asked casually. In fact, he did not want to test the prince's knowledge, but just asked casually after the conversation came to this point.
In fact, the prince could just casually mention the title of a book or chapter and he would be able to cope with it, but he was so nervous and unprepared that he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
His mind was completely blank, and he could not remember what the teachers had said at all, as if all he had learned every day were blank sheets of paper.
"What's wrong with you? Your Majesty asked you something, why didn't you answer?" The queen couldn't help but become anxious when she saw him like this.
"My dear sir... My dear sir, lately... I have only studied "Mencius' Heart to Heart"..." The prince stuttered uncontrollably.
"Why are you panicking?" The emperor looked at him puzzled. "Mencius said: 'If you use the lost way to make people work, you will not complain even if they work hard. If you kill the people with the way of life, even if they die, you will not complain about the killer.'
Chapter, can you tell me how you understand it?"
The meaning of this passage is that if you use the way of ease to serve the people, the people will not resent them even if they are tired; if you use the way of letting the people survive, you will kill people and the person who is killed will not resent the person who killed him even if he dies.
It talks about the king's art of governing the country. It is very appropriate for the emperor to ask the prince about this.
The prince was already extremely nervous and could not remember how the teachers told him this passage.
My mind was in a mess, and my mouth was hemming and hawing.
Cold sweat even flowed down his forehead.
Seeing him like this, the emperor was not angry at first, but he couldn't help but become angry: "I'm just asking you casually, it's not a profound knowledge. Look at your timid look, how can you show the slightest bit of princely style?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down, this child seems to have a headache again." Yao Ziyun said hurriedly.
"Hmph! Since you have a headache, why don't you see the imperial doctor? You were fine when you came in just now." The emperor didn't bother to expose it, so he stood up and said, "I'm full of anger and don't want to eat anymore."
After saying that, he walked away, leaving the queen, mother and son there.
After the emperor left, Yao Ziyun tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and asked the prince: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so useless?!"
"Mother, I have learned this before and know what it means. But I don't know why. As soon as my father asked me, I couldn't remember anything." The prince also knew that he had been embarrassed and made a fool of himself.
Disgraced the Queen.
Didn't he feel regretful in his heart? At the same time, he was scared to death because he knew his mother and queen all too well.
