A Luo's bright eyes burst out with dazzling light, so dazzling that it could burn people's eyes.
Xie Mingxi's heart was raging, and she could not control herself. She could no longer maintain a calm and collected expression. Her voice also trembled slightly: "Aluo, do you know what you are talking about?"
"of course I know."
Ah Luo took another deep breath and said in a firm and decisive voice: "Actually, I have always had some vague thoughts in my mind. I just never told anyone. What my mother said tonight made me suddenly wake up from a dream. I finally saw it clearly.
to understand what is really in my heart.”
"Mother, what I just said is from my heart."
"My father does not want to accept a concubine, and no one can force him to do so. My mother and I are determined and will never give in due to criticism and accusations from everyone. I am the most beloved daughter of my father and my mother, and I have been carefully raised by you. I
I am the most suitable candidate to inherit the position of crown prince. No one can take away everything that belongs to me!"
Speaking of this, A Luo suddenly wanted to understand something and looked at Xie Mingxi in shock and confusion: "Mother...since I was a child, my mother has been extremely strict in teaching me, even more so than several of my cousins. Could it be that...
, the queen mother had expected that such a day would come?"
Her Aluo has really grown up!
Xie Mingxi felt pride welling up in her heart. She reached out and stroked A Luo's hair, and her voice was particularly soft: "Yes."
A short word is as heavy as a thousand pieces.
A Luo was filled with shock and disbelief. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
It turns out that a long time ago, her father, the emperor, and her mother had already intended to make her the crown prince. Therefore, they paid special attention to her teachings and had extremely strict requirements on her!
Over the years, she has been far more diligent than other girls of the same age, and more diligent than several of her cousins. She is competitive and does not lag behind others in everything. She has always been number one in her studies...
It turns out that the father, emperor and mother have such good intentions!
At some point, Ah Luo's eyes filled with mist, and after blinking, tears fell.
A long and soft hand gently wiped away the tears from the corners of A Luo's eyes.
The face in front of me is extremely familiar, but it has lost its usual strictness and awe-inspiring majesty, and its eyes are full of pride: "Aluo, you did not disappoint us!"
Ah Luo, I didn't expect you to have such courage to express your feelings directly.
You are the greatest pride of your parents in this life!
…
Ah Luo has heard many compliments in her life.
But all the praises are not as good as these few words.
A Luo sniffed and grinned: "Mother, this is the first time you have praised me like this!" After thinking about it, she felt a little dissatisfied: "Since mother and father had this intention, why did they keep it secret?
?”
Xie Mingxi's mood calmed down a little, and she smiled slightly and said: "You were still young before, so I told you early because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear the pressure."
"Furthermore, your father and I are not sure whether you have the courage and determination to take on the important responsibility of the Crown Prince of Qi. If you are not good enough or are timid and shrink, your father will choose an adoptive nephew from among his nephews.
, to be the crown prince of Da Qi."
A Luo: "..."
This is a test for her!
Fortunately, she has grown up and matured, and she understands the weight of the word "Crown Prince of Da Qi", knows the effort required to break worldly conventions, and has the courage and determination to cope with all difficulties.
Ah Luo seemed to have grown up in a matter of seconds. There was no childish look on her face anymore, replaced by pride and determination: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will not disappoint Queen Mother and Emperor Father."
However, Xie Mingxi poured cold water on her at this time: "This matter needs to be planned slowly. Don't be impetuous, let alone rush forward. If everything goes well, the matter of establishing the heir apparent will be decided by the time you get there. If not,
If everything goes smoothly, it may take eight or ten years."
"Brother Ji, brother Lin, brother Ting, and brother Ting have all grown up. The three of them have their own strengths and are all outstanding young men. If they want to compete for the heirloom in the future, it is reasonable."
"Even if there are not three of them, there are others. Thousands of royal family members, as well as the descendants of the vassal princes who have returned to the capital, can always choose suitable candidates. Therefore, the three of them are not your enemies."
"When you meet them in the future, you should be the same as before. You are cousins and have always been harmonious and close friends. Even if there are differences in the future due to the position of the crown prince, don't resent them."
"Those who achieve great things need to be mentally determined and endure what ordinary people cannot endure. Ah Luo, if you want to be the best empress in the ages, you must be broad-minded."
"A person who is narrow-minded and cares about money will not go far on the road to becoming an emperor. Your third uncle who died is a ready-made example."
A Luo nodded solemnly: "My daughter has memorized all the mother's teachings."
Xie Mingxi whispered again: "Your grandmother has a weak temperament, but she is the most traditional and conservative. She made a big fuss with me over the matter of accepting a concubine. Your father was caught in the middle, and he was also in a dilemma."
"However, this is all a matter between us adults. You just don't know what to do and don't get involved."
"Your grandmother is recuperating in Hanxiang Palace. I will go to Hanxiang Palace tomorrow morning, and you will go with me."
A Luo nodded in agreement.
After Xie Mingxi said this, she looked at Ah Luo quietly for a moment, and then stretched out her hand.
A'luo nestled in her mother's arms, smelling the familiar scent, feeling at ease and quietly happy.
…
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Xie Mingxi and A Luo looked up together.
The person who can open the door of the queen's bedroom without knocking is none other than Sheng Hong.
Today, Sheng Hong had to deal with the noisy Concubine Mei, rested for a while in the Jiaofang Hall, then went to the Yiqing Hall to review the memorials, and discussed matters with the elders until midnight. Even a hard-working man felt tired.
However, all the tiredness was forgotten by Sheng Hong the moment he opened the door and saw the mother and daughter intimately relying on each other.
The appearance of mother and daughter is not imaginary, but their expressions are surprisingly similar. One is smiling calmly, and the other is full of joy.
Sheng Hong grinned, stepped forward, and hugged his wife and daughter into his arms: "Mingxi, Ah Luo, why aren't you two sleeping? Are you waiting for me to come back?"
This moment, for Sheng Hong, was both complete and happy. It was more pleasant than sitting on the dragon throne and looking down at the ministers.
A Luo lowered her head and escaped from her parents' arms.
She is so old, but she is still being held by her parents like a child, which is really embarrassing.
"It's getting late, I'll go back and take a rest first. Father, Queen and mother, please take a rest early!" A Luo quickly opened her mouth, smiled at Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi, and quickly turned around and walked out.
This Ah Luo!
Sheng Hong laughed dumbly: "A Luo seems to be particularly excited and excited tonight, which is different from usual times."
Xie Mingxi responded lightly: "Well, I had a long talk with her. She took the initiative and said that she wanted to be the crown prince."
