Zhao Yuan looked at Concubine Shu, shook her head, and said solemnly: "It really didn't happen this time!"
Concubine Fang Shu twisted his ears and asked: "It's inexplicable, why do you want to make soup for my father?"
Thinking of Tang Ning's instructions to him, Zhao Yuan covered his ears and said innocently: "Father is working so hard, so I just want to replenish my body for him..."
Fang Shufei let go of her hand that was twisting Zhao Yuan's ears, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.
During the days when he was studying hard, His Majesty did not look at him differently, nor did he reward him with anything. But now, because of this small bowl of soup, he was rewarded with such a heavy thing. It is really unintentional than intentional...
She sighed in her heart, patted Zhao Yuan's head and said, "Go study."
After Zhao Yuan left, Concubine Fang Shu looked at the palace maid behind her and asked, "Where did Yuan'er go this morning?"
The palace maid said: "Go back to your Majesty, Your Highness went to the Tang Shilang's house this morning to ask for advice."
Concubine Fang Shu looked away and said softly: "Tang Shilang..."
…
In the Imperial Study Room, when Wei Jian walked in, Emperor Chen was looking at the empty soup cup in a daze.
"It would be great if Ming'er's character could be like Yuan'er's. If Prince Fu and I can't be brothers and sisters, why would we have to fight each other to the death?" Wei Jian stepped forward and collected the soup cup.
When leaving, Chen Huang shook his head and sighed as if unintentionally.
Wei Jian paused for a moment, then put away the soup cup and stood quietly beside Emperor Chen without saying a word.
But his eyes had no focus, and he was obviously distracted. He was looking straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking...
…
Tangning stood in front of the study window, looking out at the lush garden, also lost in thought.
He did not expect that Zhao Yuan actually wanted to compete for the throne. From what he said, it seemed that Concubine Shu had already known about this matter.
If Concubine Shu acquiesced, or if Concubine Shu was pushing the matter behind his back, Tangning didn't believe that the Fang family was unprepared.
It is very likely that what they have in mind is to sit back and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits at the last moment.
I just didn't expect that King Kang would be defeated so quickly. In the court now, King Duan's family dominates, which is even more detrimental to King Run.
When King Kang was still there, the court said that three kings were seizing the throne, but in fact there were only two kings.
King Huai's background was not high enough. Tang Ning learned from Zhao Man that it seemed that Emperor Chen kept him in the capital out of guilt for his mother and concubine. However, this did not mean that he was qualified to inherit the throne. He was only the successor of King Kang and King Duan.
It's just a foil and background.
In this case, King Run had only one opponent who could defeat King Duan. In the eyes of Emperor Chen, his throne was almost certain.
Being young is both his disadvantage and advantage.
The disadvantage is that he is too young to be listed as a candidate for the throne by Emperor Chen, but precisely because of his young age, he will not come into everyone's sight. Until the time is right, he can hide in the dark and develop in obscene ways.
Little by little, I gained favor with Chen Huang.
But Fang Shufei asked him to study hard, which actually led him to go astray.
No matter how many books he reads, he is still not as good as the counselors in Prince Duan's palace, or as good as the two old foxes from the Tang family. It is better to find another way and take the warm-hearted route to gain Huang Huang's approval.
Tang Ning didn't want Zhao Yuan to expose this idea too early, and she also didn't want Concubine Fang Shu and the Fang family to take any other actions, so she specifically told Zhao Yuan not to tell anyone about this matter, including his mother-in-law, otherwise she could only watch.
She asked her older sisters to marry other women.
After staying in the study for a while, he changed his clothes and prepared to go to the palace.
This time it was not to report anything to Emperor Chen, but to take another look at the Queen Mother's body. While he was away from the capital, the imperial doctors adjusted the Queen Mother's diet and work and rest habits according to the plan he specified. After a period of recuperation,
Her condition has been very stable, and the previous symptoms are gradually disappearing.
Tangning's visit this time was just to go through the process and reassure them.
When he entered the palace, the eunuch who was responsible for leading the way told him that the Queen Mother was in the Imperial Garden. After taking him to the door, he let him go in by himself.
Tangning walked into the Royal Garden and heard the laughter and laughter inside from a distance. Among them was Zhao Man's voice, which she was no longer familiar with.
After passing through the two moon gates, I saw clearly several figures in front of me.
Not only Zhao Man, Princess Anyang, Princess Yiyang, and several married princesses from the royal family were also there. Zhao Yuan and several young princes and princesses were also standing in the corner.
Seeing him coming over, Zhao Man's face showed a hint of joy. Princess Anyang's expression was a little unnatural. As for Princess Yiyang, her rosy face suddenly turned pale. She looked at the Queen Mother and said: "
Grandma Huang, Yiyang suddenly felt a little unwell, I will go back first..."
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "If you don't feel well, let's find an imperial doctor to take a look at you first..."
Princess Yiyang responded and left in a hurry. Tang Ning stepped forward, bowed and said, "I have met the Queen Mother and met several princesses."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "No courtesy."
Tang Ning symbolically checked the Queen Mother's pulse. Her pulse was indeed much more stable than before, and her overall complexion was also different from before.
He stepped back and said: "The Queen Mother's health is no longer serious. As long as you follow the advice of the imperial physician and pay more attention to her daily life, you won't do it again easily."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
The Queen Mother nodded again, and suddenly looked at Zhao Man, and said: "The road to the Imperial Garden is winding and winding. Let's go to Pingyang to see off the Tang Minister."
Zhao Man stepped forward, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Tang, let's go."
Tang Ning always felt that the Queen Mother's smile meant something, and she had a strange feeling in her heart. At this moment, she could only cup her hands and say, "Thank you, Princess."
At this moment, Princess Anyang stood up and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am about to leave the palace, so I will see Master Tang off with Ping Yang."
In the beautiful world between the two of them, Princess Anyang insisted on being a lightbulb, especially when she knew about it. Tangning knew that this was her revenge, but she still smiled and said: "The princess and the princess send each other off, Tangning doesn't dare to take it...
"
Princess Anyang waved her hand and said: "It's our way anyway, Mr. Tang, let's go."
Zhao Man didn't want to have a third person around him, so he looked at Princess Anyang anxiously and coughed lightly.
Princess Anyang looked at her and asked with concern: "Is Pingyang's throat uncomfortable? Do you want to see the imperial doctor?"
"No, no." Seeing that Princess Anyang did not understand what she meant, Zhao Man could only lower her head and said, "Let's go."
With Princess Anyang around, Zhao Man couldn't say anything, so she stayed silent all the way. She sent him to the entrance of the Royal Garden, then turned back helplessly.
Princess Anyang glanced at Tang Ning and left.
Tang Ning sighed. She was afraid that she had really offended this woman last time, and her narrow-mindedness was still beyond Tang Ning's expectations. She would have to be even more careful in the future.
Zhao Yuan ran out of the imperial garden, looked at Princess Anyang's retreating figure, and said, "Sir, the way Sister Anyang looks at you is different from others..."
Tangning looked at him and asked, "You can see that you like her again?"
"No." Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "I saw that she wanted to beat you..."
As long as she doesn't like Tangning, don't worry. He's not a man of money. How can so many people like him? If Princess Anyang wants to beat him, let her think about it. She can't beat him anyway. He can do it with both hands and feet.
Knock her down.
He waited until Princess Anyang had gone far before walking out of the palace along the same road.
Halfway through, Tang Ning saw several figures walking in front of her. She stepped back to the roadside, cupped her hands and said, "I've seen Concubine Shu."
After meeting Concubine Shu, he planned to leave.
Just as he took a step, a graceful female voice came from behind.
