After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Emperor Qingling looked at the queen and said slowly, "Thank you for your hard work, queen."

The queen twitched her lips: "It's not hard work, it's all my concubine's due."

The dining table for three people was a bit crowded.

Emperor Qingling sat close to Concubine Shu, stroking the food residue from the corners of her lips from time to time.

The two people's eyes met, and then they quickly moved away.

Concubine Shu's cheeks were so shy that the main hall of Jingren Palace turned red.

"Your Majesty, please don't do this. The Queen is still here."

The Queen silently prepared dishes for the Emperor: "Your Majesty, your favorite dishes are often prepared in Jingren Palace, but the Emperor rarely comes to Jingren Palace these days. Could it be that because of the affairs at my concubine's family, the Emperor resents me? ?”

After the words fell, the main hall was so quiet, no one spoke first.

Concubine Shu glanced at Emperor Qingling and opened her lips to excuse him: "Empress, please don't blame the emperor. It's common for him to be busy with the wedding and not take care of the affairs of the harem. It's my concubine's fault. It has nothing to do with the emperor."

Aunt Jade on the side looked at Concubine Shu with dissatisfaction, but she could not speak while the emperor was around.

The queen lowered her eyes and rarely spoke to refute.

Emperor Qingling raised his arm and placed his hand on Concubine Shu, signaling her not to speak.

Concubine Shu realized that she was talking too much and immediately said: "Empress, I made a mistake. I hope that the Empress will not blame me."

The queen curled her lips and smiled: "My sister is outspoken and innocent. How can I blame you?"

After she finished speaking, Emperor Qing Ling's expression softened slightly.

He let go of Concubine Shu's hand, looked at the queen and said: "I know that Prince Heng has nothing to do with you. If the queen is willing to put aside the past grudges, not take the blame of Prince Heng on herself, and sever the father-daughter relationship with Prince Heng. , I and the queen are still the masters of the middle palace, if you insist on interceding for Prince Heng, then there is nothing I can do."

The meaning of these words is already obvious.

If the queen used the name of the lord of the middle palace to blackmail the emperor into releasing Prince Heng, then he would not let the queen go.

The Prince's Mansion of Heng County really had no successor.

The queen naturally knew which one was more important. She opened her lips lightly and said, "Since I have entered the palace, I am the emperor's person. You are also the queen and the mother of a country. Prince Heng intends to rebel and kill the Fourteenth Master. He should bear any punishment. How can I plead for such a repeat offender?"

After finishing his words, Emperor Qingling raised his eyes and looked deeply at the Queen.

"I'm a little surprised that the Queen is so open-minded, but I'm very happy that you think so."

The queen lowered her eyes and said slowly, "The emperor is happy, and so are my concubines."

Concubine Shu said nothing, but her thoughts were heavy.

Although the queen kept her position as the head of the harem by cutting off her relationship with Prince Heng, this was a double-edged sword.

She was so impatient that maybe because of the emperor's sentimental and thoughtful temperament, he would doubt the queen's heart.

Vicious, selfish, and not caring about old feelings.

If the mother of a country has such a temperament, why worry about development?

Why worry about living in harmony and loving each other in the harem?

Seeing that Wu Yashi was raised in the family, she only knew how to have great power, not to control people's hearts.

Wu Yashi tried to win the emperor's heart, but it always had the opposite effect, and she was disgusted and rejected by others, so that the couple separated and the emperor chose a new man.

The queen was relieved, and even her expression became much more relaxed.

She looked at Emperor Qingling and said warmly: "Your Majesty, is there any news about the princess? Concubine Shu has been absent-minded today. If there is still no news about the princess, I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it."

Emperor Qing Ling glanced at Concubine Shu and found that her expression was indeed not good.

Only then did he realize that she had been forcing herself to smile and be a noble concubine. He felt very distressed and even frowned a little.

"Not yet. Wei Xin said that they have searched all over the city, but there has been no news of Ying'an. I am afraid that she has been transferred out of the city, but the fourteenth old man has... She is just a baby, where can she go? ?”

In Furong City, a hundred miles away from the capital, two grown men led a three-year-old baby wandering aimlessly on the street.

"Ying'an, are you sure this is the central hub in the future? It doesn't look as prosperous as the capital." Zong Yaozhi was skeptical and scanned everything around him.

The main street of Furong City should be the most prosperous place, but it is very depressed here.

There is one word everywhere, poor.

Even the largest restaurant in the city was built in imitation of the Huichun Building, which seems to be imitating something from the east.

It doesn't imitate the essence and looks rustic.

The plaque at the door looked like it was made casually by carpenters. It was crooked and ugly.

The fourteenth master in disguise frowned, looking at the plants and trees here, a bit of compassion suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"I didn't expect Furong City next to the capital to be so backward. In other cities in Daling, I'm afraid the people will suffer even more. The people will not be able to make a living and have difficulty eating."

His words immediately silenced Zong Yaozhi.

Zong Yaozhi bowed silently at the side: "I was speaking quickly just now. I was not sincere, and it was definitely not a joke. I hope the Lord of the Land and the God of Wealth will bear with me."

The Fourteenth Master also realized that he seemed to be too serious, and said solemnly: "Sorry, it's an occupational disease."

Xiao Ying'an shook Master Fourteenth's hand and comforted him: "Uncle Fourteenth, don't listen to my uncle. You are the one with great love and a person who truly cares about the people and the common people. As the son of the royal family, what do you do?" It’s already very good.”

Uncle Fourteen lowered his head and looked at Xiao Ying'an, curling his lips: "Thank you, Xiao Ying'an. Uncle Fourteen is very happy."

Little Ying'an raised her eyebrows at Master Fourteen and said as if asking for credit: "Uncle Fourteen, you are so happy, why don't you take me to the most lively place in the city?"

The Fourteenth Master readily agreed: "Okay, little Ying'an, does she know where the busiest place is?"

He was still immersed in the joy of being praised, but Zong Yaozhi on the side had already seen through the essence.

He glanced at Uncle Fourteen sympathetically, lowered his eyes and shook his head helplessly. He glanced at Xiao Ying'an, frowned and mouthed, "Trick your Uncle Fourteen, go back and get beaten!"

Xiao Ying'an made a face at him and thought: "If you don't take me there, I'll ask Uncle Fourteen to take me there!" snort! 】

Zong Yao was helpless.

Little Yingan walked up to the Fourteenth Master and hugged him by the thigh.

The Fourteenth Master reluctantly picked her up and said, "What were you two whispering about just now?"

Xiao Ying'an shook her head like a rattle: "No, we are discussing where the busiest area of ​​the city is."

The Fourteenth Master looked at the pretty little Ying'an and couldn't help but raise his hand to scratch the tip of her nose and said, "What's the result?"

Little Yingan opened her lips and smiled slyly, revealing two rows of neat little teeth. She pointed her index finger at the shop in front of her and said, "Casino!"

The Fourteenth Master and Zong Yaozhi glanced over at the same time.

They happened to be standing in front of the casino now, and the gamblers coming and going looked at them with greed in their eyes.

Everyone who comes here is a lamb to be slaughtered.

The Fourteenth Master said seriously: "No! Children are not allowed in!"
