Chaos in the Chu Palace
Chapter 64: Pregnant Dragon Heir
Chapter 64: Pregnant Dragon Heir (1)
Ouyang Ruo propped up his tired body and looked at Chu Huotian in front of him with a faint smile. In his arms was his flesh and blood. Bit by bit, he would eventually grow into a man similar to him. It's a wonderful thing.Everyone was overjoyed, seeing that the arrangement was in order, she was helped by Wan Hui and slowly returned to Yunxiang Palace.
The sky is already slightly bright, and there are still small snowflakes floating in the sky.She just walked silently.Seeing that she looked tired, Wanhui complained: "Why did your mother leave? The emperor doesn't know how much effort your mother has put in. According to Numaid, please don't care about that Wan Zhaoyi, ah no, it's Concubine Wan. She Now it’s the end of the day…”
Ouyang Ruo looked at the sky, it was slightly white in the east, and it was almost dawn.
She rolled up the snow clothes on her body and said lightly: "Sending charcoal in the snow, icing on the cake, what does my aunt think I will do? Forget it, I have already made too much limelight for her, we just need to be careful in the future." Don't mention it when you go back to the palace.
Lin's becoming a concubine because of the birth of her son became the subject of everyone's discussion in the Chu palace, even more jealous and enviable than Ouyang Ruo's favor.Even if you are favored again, there is no child under your knees, which is called emptiness, and it disappears in a blink of an eye, but it is different when you have children, especially the prince.During Lin's confinement period, many palaces sent people to send congratulatory gifts.
Ouyang Ruo also sealed a generous gift and sent it over.Mingying looked puzzled and said: "What is your empress doing with such a heavy gift? Don't you usually have a good relationship with Concubine Wan? It doesn't matter if you give it too little."
Ouyang Ruo said with a smile: "It is at this time that I want to give a big portion. We are good friends on weekdays, but we should give it to others when it is due. Don't make people laugh at me being stingy."
Mingying seemed to understand but half understood, took the gift and called a few little girls to follow.
Seeing that it was already dusk, Wan Hui ordered someone to serve herbal food, and whispered to Ouyang Ruo, "Your Majesty, eat more, and give birth to a baby soon."
Ouyang Ruo nodded, looked at the dishes on the table, ate slowly, and asked casually, "How is the queen?" She didn't like other people present when she was eating, so usually only Wan Hui was serving.
"My maidservant inquired about it, and the queen rewarded me with a lot of things, and recruited a few scholars with profound knowledge to name the newborn prince. The emperor quite praised her for doing this." Wan Hui replied.
Ouyang Ruo thought about it carefully: "Did Concubine Wan send someone to look at it?"
Wan Hui said again: "Send someone, but everything remains the same."
Ouyang Ruo stopped the ivory chopsticks in her hand, thought carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Now I can't see clearly. The queen has not moved, so Mrs. Liu Guo naturally did not move because of her temperament."
People on both sides waited and watched, that Lin's life was really not ordinary.In this way, he stood still in the middle of the storm.But who will break this balanced situation first?Really worth the wait.
Ouyang Ruo picked up the vegetables on the plate, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
The queen used this move to curry favor with Chu Huotian, and Mrs. Liu Guo naturally did not dare to act hastily when everyone was focusing on the hard-won prince.However, if there were no fights in this Chu Palace, it would not be a harem.
After the full moon of Lin's son, Chu Huotian held a full moon banquet for her.The Chu Palace gathered together to celebrate the new prince.The hall is full of singing and dancing, laughter and laughter.Many concubines were dressed in festive palace attire, and gave them to Mrs. Lin with large and small gold and jade plaques.Ouyang Ruo also presented a set of gold bracelets and a longevity card.Taking a closer look, she saw that Lin's family was quite plump, with a smile on her face, and the second prince was hugged by the wet nurse beside her.
Seeing that the queen had been drinking for three rounds, she smiled and took out a golden brocade book from her bosom, and said to Chu Huotian with a smile: "The emperor should give the second prince a good name, this name can't be careless, it has something to do with the future of the child A lifetime of wealth."
Chu Huotian took it over and saw that there were as many as twenty or thirty items written in it. He was dazzled by the sight, so he just smiled and said, "Let Concubine Wan take a look, let's see which one she likes." The servant presented the booklet to her.
Lin was overwhelmed and quickly bowed to take it.The princes of the Great Chu Kingdom are all ordered by the emperor, and now she is allowed to pick them up as a mother and concubine, she is really trembling.Seeing the expression on Chu Huotian's face, Ouyang Ruo was relieved for some reason. Although it seemed that Chu Huotian gave Lin Shi great honor, Ouyang Ruo understood that in his heart, this child was not enough for him. Pay attention to.
Lin looked at it for a long time, but couldn't make up her mind, looked up and saw that Chu Huotian's face was getting impatient, she quickly nodded and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine will choose this Hanzhen, please the Emperor to decide."
Chu Huotian thought about it carefully, nodded his head and said lightly: "That's right, 'Back to Basics', I hope he will live a real life in the future." world.
Everyone congratulated again.Ouyang Ruo stared at Mrs. Liu Guo's face, and she saw jealousy flash in her eyes, but only for a moment, she was smiling again.The queen is very decent and dignified, without showing any emotion, it seems that she is the one who is open-minded and motherly.A full moon banquet was eaten by everyone with a lot of tastes.
Chu Huo Tianhou Palace gave birth to the second prince, and after less than ten days, a courtier said that the emperor should establish a heir soon, and alluded to the late emperor, that is, Chu Huo Tian's brother did not establish a heir early and caused troubles in the harem Restless.At that time, Ouyang Ruo was being summoned by Chu Huotian to serve the pen and ink. She was pinching an inkstone with her plain hands and was grinding the ink finely. Suddenly, she heard Chu Huotian curse and threw a memorial to the ground. The ground was smooth and slid straight to the palace gate. Just stopped.
"It's really unreasonable. I'm in the prime of my life, how can I be so impatient to set up a reserve? This group of pedantic old masters! They clearly want to see the direction of the wind first so that they can form cliques for personal gain!" Chu Huotian was in such a bad mood that he could only scold his mother, and then I picked a few more books, but they were still of average content, and dropped them to the ground one by one, throwing one and cursing a few times.
Ouyang Ruo saw that his face was unkind, and wanted to pick it up, but Chu Huotian said: "Leave it alone, I asked those ministers to come in front of me to see what nonsense I wrote!"
Seeing his pale face, Ouyang Ruo hurriedly said, "Your majesty calm down, these courtiers are just doing their duty. They just want to find an successor for the country of Chu."
Chu Huotian said angrily: "Stop talking for them. What good is it to establish a crown prince early? There are only two princes, one is dull and stubborn, and the other is still in his infancy. He can't tell whether he is a dragon or a worm. If a foolish king is established, wouldn't the great rivers and mountains that I conquered be defeated by them?"
With just this sentence, Ouyang Ruo knew that Mrs. Liu's eldest prince was completely hopeless.
She was silent, Chu Huotian came back to his senses, saw her lowering her head, thought that he had frightened her, so he said softly: "Go to the side hall to rest, I am not trying to hurt you."
Ouyang Ruo stepped forward with a smile, squeezed his shoulders for him and said with a smile: "The concubine knows. But the emperor also wants to appease the anger. The courtiers naturally have to think about being a courtier. The emperor sees the world, and their vision must not be as good as the emperor's." See far."
Chu Huotian patted her hand, hugged her and sighed: "Ruo'er, give birth to a child for me. I don't like any children they give birth to."
Ouyang Ruo shook slightly, and said after a while, "How can the emperor say that, they are all the emperor's flesh and blood."
Chu Huotian sighed, but frowned.
His painstaking efforts were in vain. The first group of ministers went to the Shu to ask for the establishment of a reserve, but he was furiously pressed down by Long Yan.But gradually, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the entire court, and rumors of Li Chu spread among the officials in private.It would be fine if there were only one person or two people, but it was clear that someone was secretly fueling the flames.Only then did Chu Huotian face up to it, who was secretly buying off the officials?
Ouyang Ruo was leaning against the railing of the garden behind Yunxiang Palace and admiring the white plum blossoms. The dots of white plum blossoms were like snow and clouds, and there was a faint fragrance, which was very refreshing.Not far away, Mingying was playing snowball fights with a few young maids, Xiao Linxiang was watching happily, clapping her little hands, she was going to chase after her.
Dexuan helped Ouyang Ruo, and walked slowly among the plum trees.Her face is as beautiful as snow and as cold as plum, and her cheeks are pink, adding to her charm.
"So, many ministers in this court are anxious to establish a reserve? Strange, logically, they shouldn't be in such a hurry. Could it be that they are afraid that what happened in the previous court will happen again?" Ouyang Ruo's beautiful eyes were deep, Su supported the white plum with her hands, and was dyed with a faint fragrance.
At this time, it was only the beginning of the second year of Ninghe, and it was only half a year before Chu Huotian established the dynasty. Although there was a new prince added, there were only two princes in total, how could they be established?And how to establish it is really not something that can be clarified overnight.
"Back to your mother, the news I heard from this servant seems that those ministers are more inclined to stand up..." Dexuan finished softly, watching her expression carefully, Ouyang Ruo shook his hand and broke off a branch of white plum.
"It's a pity." Ouyang Ruo murmured.
"What's the pity?" Dexuan asked puzzled.
Ouyang Ruo gently dropped the white plum in his hand on the ground, and said casually: "It's a pity that the sharpness is too exposed, just like this white plum is not hidden in the tree, but stretches out from the branches and is easy to be picked. Mu Xiuyu The forest, the wind will destroy it. If the tree is a good tree, it’s fine, but if it’s not fruitful, it will fall when it blows.”
After she finished speaking, she walked slowly towards the depths of the plum grove, and a little bit of white plum fell on her body, like snow, full of desire to be brushed.Dexuan's heart moved slightly, and after thinking about it, he understood what she meant, and hurriedly followed.
After a day or two, Mrs. Liu Guo came to visit. Ouyang Ruo heard the report from the palace servants and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go and greet him quickly. First, we will serve good tea in the outer hall. I will go there later." After adjusting her clothes and makeup, she helped Wan Hui over.
She had just entered the main hall of the outer hall, and saw Mrs. Liu Guo wearing a snow-silver embroidered lily palace dress with dark patterns of the same color, her hair tied up in a plum bun, and a few homemade pearl hairpins on her hairpin. She seemed to be a few years younger. The powder is lightly applied, and the beauty and charm of the face are set off even more brilliantly.
Ouyang Ruo greeted her, and said respectfully: "My concubine, Mrs. Ouyang, pays homage to Mrs. Liu Guo!" Mrs. Liu Guo smiled and said, "Sister Ouyang is really polite, what are you talking about with such vain courtesy? Get up quickly."
Only then did Ouyang Ruo get up, looked at Mrs. Liu Guo's makeup and praised: "Mrs. Liu Guo is very beautiful today, and all the concubines are jealous."
Mrs. Liu Guo clapped her palms and said with a smile: "Sister Ouyang is good at joking, I am old, how can I compare to Sister Ouyang's beauty." As she spoke, she looked her up and down, and there was a hint of jealousy in Yueya's eyes just right.
Ouyang Ruo turned his eyes away calmly, and ordered the palace servants to serve refreshments again.
Liu Guo looked around the palace and said with a smile: "I am a tired and lazy person. I spend all day in my palace urging the eldest prince to study books. Where is the time? Why don't you spend a few days in the palace and just think about it?" I walked around and looked around, and suddenly remembered that sister Ouyang's plum blossoms were about to bloom here, so I came here to enjoy the plum blossoms with an old face."
Ouyang Ruo smiled slightly: "Mrs. Liu Guo came at the right time. The white plum bloomed the most in the past few days. Originally, the concubine wanted to hide it, so I asked all the little maids to pick it up and make plum blossom ointment, and then gave it to Liu Guo. Ma'am, since Madam Liu Guo is here, this Mei is not in vain, it can be used even if someone rewards her."
Speaking of which, she asked the maid to move all the tea cups and snacks to the pavilion in the courtyard, and ordered the servants to lower the gauze curtain outside the pavilion, and she personally helped Mrs. Liu Guo to move into the garden.
Walking to the pavilion and taking a seat, she looked at the plum scenery all over the courtyard, and suddenly sighed: "Every year goes by, I never thought that this palace would grow so old."
Mrs. Liu Guo shook her hand and said sincerely: "To be honest, I am very envious of you as a sister. You can always be with the emperor, which is something that no one in the harem can hope for. I was in the palace that day. I said when I was in the mansion that the emperor treats his younger sister differently."
Ouyang Ruo comforted her and said: "Sister Liu is serious. My sister sees that the emperor treats her very well. She stayed at her place for several days in January."
"You also know that he just lives in my palace. In fact, I understand in my heart that not only has he changed over the years, but I have also changed... I think back then..." Mrs. Liu Guo smiled wryly, as if she was full of things and had no one to talk to.
She turned her head and looked at the scenery of the garden, and said slowly: "I am originally the daughter of the Liu family, the richest man in Chujing. ? I, Liu Ruyu, will definitely marry a man who is upright and upright. Although my father doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, he still hires famous teachers to guide me. His family is rich, so he doesn't care about the money."
rich?Ouyang Ruo sighed inwardly. To say that they are rich would be an insult to their Liu family. If they wanted to describe it, they should be called rich as an enemy.I really can't find any other words besides these four characters.
Mrs. Liu Guo paused, as if she was lost in memory: "I also worked hard. I learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting very well. I just waited for my father to find a good husband for me. Sure enough, my father found me after I was old. There are quite a few young talents who are famous in Chujing, but I still look down on them, sister, don’t laugh at me. At that time, I was so proud, as if the people in the world who are worthy of me, Liu Ruyu, must not be ordinary people."
Ouyang Ruo sighed slightly in his heart, why isn't she?The young girl Huaichun looked at each of the young talents, none of whom seemed to be the person in her dream, but who knew where her beloved was?
Mrs. Liu Guo laughed at herself and said: "Later, my father invited a group of high-ranking officials to a banquet again. At that time, the plum blossoms were about to bloom. I heard the noise outside and felt bored, so I came here alone. The plum grove in the mansion was admiring the plum blossoms. After a while, I heard someone walking behind me. I went to see a young man dressed as a martial artist. He was sitting in the pavilion with a book and reading. At that time, I could only see his back, and my heart skipped a beat. One jump." When she said this, her face was shy, thinking that Ouyang Ruo would laugh at her, but seeing Ouyang Ruo bowed her head and listened quietly, her heart settled down.
The plum blossoms in a garden were like snow. She was young at that time, and her heart was moved just by seeing that person.The young man sat in the pavilion studying hard, concentrating on it, frowning his sword eyebrows from time to time.The elegance of that body is hidden in the box like a fine sword.Standing in the middle of the Merlin, she was fascinated by just looking at it.The plum fragrance from that day lingered in her heart day and night.
"I begged my father to find out the identity of that person, and only then did I know that he is the emperor's younger brother. It was just that he was sent to the border by the emperor to become a small general. At that time, the royal family in Beijing probably looked down on him. , so he can only hang out with those low-ranking disciples. But I know that he must have the ambition of Lingyun in his heart, otherwise he would not have taken a book to read in a secluded place when he was resting at the banquet."
Ouyang Ruo sighed softly: "Sister Liu really has eyes for heroes." Among other things, she admired Mrs. Liu Guo's vision.
Mrs. Liu Guo showed pride on her face, and said with a smile: "Yes, after my father checked, he found out that he had already married a wife and is now the queen. I insisted on marrying him, so I begged my father to tell me He. My father got angry and got sick several times because of this. He said that he spent a lot of money to cultivate a daughter to be someone else's concubine? not give a damn about."
"The concubine intends to marry her, even if she is ruthlessly abandoned, she can't be ashamed!" Ouyang Ruo whispered softly.
"Yes, that's what it means. Later, my father couldn't do it, so he asked someone to make a matchmaker, and then pushed a lot of matchmakers for the sons of high-ranking officials, and married me to him as a concubine..." Mrs. Liu Guo's eyes were bright, as if thinking of that her happiest days.
"What happened next?" Ouyang Ruo couldn't help asking.
"Later? Later, he naturally treated me very well..." Madam Liu Guo put away the dazed expression on her face, covered her face and said casually.
"Look at me, what are you talking about for no reason?" Mrs. Liu Guo took a sip of tea, concealed the look of loneliness on her face, and said with a smile, "Sister Liu naturally didn't treat me as an outsider. If you put it on someone else, sister Liu will naturally not say a word." Ouyang Ruo sighed softly.
"Sister Ouyang is such a gentle person, as a sister, I have told you from the bottom of my heart. Now my sister really has something to do here, I hope my sister can help me a little." Mrs. Liu Guo only remembered the purpose at this time .
Ouyang Ruo nodded with a smile, and pushed her teacup forward a few minutes: "Sister Liu, tell me, as long as my sister can help, I will do my best. In this palace, only sister Liu pity my sister, I am a lonely person. "
Mrs. Liu Guo said slowly: "Now the emperor has a lot of prejudice against the eldest prince for some reason, so I would like to ask my sister to mention the benefits of the eldest prince to the emperor's ear when she is free." After she finished speaking, she was a little nervous He looked at Ouyang Ruo intently.
Ouyang Ruo looked unmoved, and said with a smile: "What should my sister do? This is easy to handle. A few days ago, my concubine heard the emperor say that the eldest prince is clever, and he needs to be sharpened to achieve great things. According to my sister, this is a big deal. The child is still young, and it will be different when he grows up. Sister Liu is too early to worry."
Mrs. Liu Guo was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Really, did the emperor really say that?" Ouyang Ruo nodded affirmatively, with an innocent face.That is, isn't that how the term "unbearably stubborn" is interpreted?She just put it mildly.
Mrs. Liu Guo was overjoyed, and hesitated after a while: "But I heard that the emperor always said that the eldest prince is not good, that is not good, alas... If the emperor is willing to say a word of appreciation, I don't have to worry so much It's gone." She was worried about gain and loss on her face, such an expression was really rare to see on her face.
Poor parents in the world.Ouyang Ruo sighed.
(End of this chapter)
Ouyang Ruo propped up his tired body and looked at Chu Huotian in front of him with a faint smile. In his arms was his flesh and blood. Bit by bit, he would eventually grow into a man similar to him. It's a wonderful thing.Everyone was overjoyed, seeing that the arrangement was in order, she was helped by Wan Hui and slowly returned to Yunxiang Palace.
The sky is already slightly bright, and there are still small snowflakes floating in the sky.She just walked silently.Seeing that she looked tired, Wanhui complained: "Why did your mother leave?

Only then did Ouyang Ruo get up, looked at Mrs. Liu Guo's makeup and praised: "Mrs. Liu Guo is very beautiful today, and all the concubines are jealous."
Mrs. Liu Guo clapped her palms and said with a smile: "Sister Ouyang is good at joking, I am old, how can I compare to Sister Ouyang's beauty." As she spoke, she looked her up and down, and there was a hint of jealousy in Yueya's eyes just right.
Ouyang Ruo turned his eyes away calmly, and ordered the palace servants to serve refreshments again.
Liu Guo looked around the palace and said with a smile: "I am a tired and lazy person. I spend all day in my palace urging the eldest prince to study books. Where is the time? Why don't you spend a few days in the palace and just think about it?" I walked around and looked around, and suddenly remembered that sister Ouyang's plum blossoms were about to bloom here, so I came here to enjoy the plum blossoms with an old face."
Ouyang Ruo smiled slightly: "Mrs. Liu Guo came at the right time. The white plum bloomed the most in the past few days. Originally, the concubine wanted to hide it, so I asked all the little maids to pick it up and make plum blossom ointment, and then gave it to Liu Guo. Ma'am, since Madam Liu Guo is here, this Mei is not in vain, it can be used even if someone rewards her."
Speaking of which, she asked the maid to move all the tea cups and snacks to the pavilion in the courtyard, and ordered the servants to lower the gauze curtain outside the pavilion, and she personally helped Mrs. Liu Guo to move into the garden.
Walking to the pavilion and taking a seat, she looked at the plum scenery all over the courtyard, and suddenly sighed: "Every year goes by, I never thought that this palace would grow so old."
Mrs. Liu Guo shook her hand and said sincerely: "To be honest, I am very envious of you as a sister. You can always be with the emperor, which is something that no one in the harem can hope for. I was in the palace that day. I said when I was in the mansion that the emperor treats his younger sister differently."
Ouyang Ruo comforted her and said: "Sister Liu is serious. My sister sees that the emperor treats her very well. She stayed at her place for several days in January."
"You also know that he just lives in my palace. In fact, I understand in my heart that not only has he changed over the years, but I have also changed... I think back then..." Mrs. Liu Guo smiled wryly, as if she was full of things and had no one to talk to.
She turned her head and looked at the scenery of the garden, and said slowly: "I am originally the daughter of the Liu family, the richest man in Chujing. ? I, Liu Ruyu, will definitely marry a man who is upright and upright. Although my father doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, he still hires famous teachers to guide me. His family is rich, so he doesn't care about the money."
rich?Ouyang Ruo sighed inwardly. To say that they are rich would be an insult to their Liu family. If they wanted to describe it, they should be called rich as an enemy.I really can't find any other words besides these four characters.
Mrs. Liu Guo paused, as if she was lost in memory: "I also worked hard. I learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting very well. I just waited for my father to find a good husband for me. Sure enough, my father found me after I was old. There are quite a few young talents who are famous in Chujing, but I still look down on them, sister, don’t laugh at me. At that time, I was so proud, as if the people in the world who are worthy of me, Liu Ruyu, must not be ordinary people."
Ouyang Ruo sighed slightly in his heart, why isn't she?The young girl Huaichun looked at each of the young talents, none of whom seemed to be the person in her dream, but who knew where her beloved was?
Mrs. Liu Guo laughed at herself and said: "Later, my father invited a group of high-ranking officials to a banquet again. At that time, the plum blossoms were about to bloom. I heard the noise outside and felt bored, so I came here alone. The plum grove in the mansion was admiring the plum blossoms. After a while, I heard someone walking behind me. I went to see a young man dressed as a martial artist. He was sitting in the pavilion with a book and reading. At that time, I could only see his back, and my heart skipped a beat. One jump." When she said this, her face was shy, thinking that Ouyang Ruo would laugh at her, but seeing Ouyang Ruo bowed her head and listened quietly, her heart settled down.
The plum blossoms in a garden were like snow. She was young at that time, and her heart was moved just by seeing that person.The young man sat in the pavilion studying hard, concentrating on it, frowning his sword eyebrows from time to time.The elegance of that body is hidden in the box like a fine sword.Standing in the middle of the Merlin, she was fascinated by just looking at it.The plum fragrance from that day lingered in her heart day and night.
"I begged my father to find out the identity of that person, and only then did I know that he is the emperor's younger brother. It was just that he was sent to the border by the emperor to become a small general. At that time, the royal family in Beijing probably looked down on him. , so he can only hang out with those low-ranking disciples. But I know that he must have the ambition of Lingyun in his heart, otherwise he would not have taken a book to read in a secluded place when he was resting at the banquet."
Ouyang Ruo sighed softly: "Sister Liu really has eyes for heroes." Among other things, she admired Mrs. Liu Guo's vision.
Mrs. Liu Guo showed pride on her face, and said with a smile: "Yes, after my father checked, he found out that he had already married a wife and is now the queen. I insisted on marrying him, so I begged my father to tell me He. My father got angry and got sick several times because of this. He said that he spent a lot of money to cultivate a daughter to be someone else's concubine? not give a damn about."
"The concubine intends to marry her, even if she is ruthlessly abandoned, she can't be ashamed!" Ouyang Ruo whispered softly.
"Yes, that's what it means. Later, my father couldn't do it, so he asked someone to make a matchmaker, and then pushed a lot of matchmakers for the sons of high-ranking officials, and married me to him as a concubine..." Mrs. Liu Guo's eyes were bright, as if thinking of that her happiest days.
"What happened next?" Ouyang Ruo couldn't help asking.
"Later? Later, he naturally treated me very well..." Madam Liu Guo put away the dazed expression on her face, covered her face and said casually.
"Look at me, what are you talking about for no reason?" Mrs. Liu Guo took a sip of tea, concealed the look of loneliness on her face, and said with a smile, "Sister Liu naturally didn't treat me as an outsider. If you put it on someone else, sister Liu will naturally not say a word." Ouyang Ruo sighed softly.
"Sister Ouyang is such a gentle person, as a sister, I have told you from the bottom of my heart. Now my sister really has something to do here, I hope my sister can help me a little." Mrs. Liu Guo only remembered the purpose at this time .
Ouyang Ruo nodded with a smile, and pushed her teacup forward a few minutes: "Sister Liu, tell me, as long as my sister can help, I will do my best. In this palace, only sister Liu pity my sister, I am a lonely person. "
Mrs. Liu Guo said slowly: "Now the emperor has a lot of prejudice against the eldest prince for some reason, so I would like to ask my sister to mention the benefits of the eldest prince to the emperor's ear when she is free." After she finished speaking, she was a little nervous He looked at Ouyang Ruo intently.
Ouyang Ruo looked unmoved, and said with a smile: "What should my sister do? This is easy to handle. A few days ago, my concubine heard the emperor say that the eldest prince is clever, and he needs to be sharpened to achieve great things. According to my sister, this is a big deal. The child is still young, and it will be different when he grows up. Sister Liu is too early to worry."
Mrs. Liu Guo was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Really, did the emperor really say that?" Ouyang Ruo nodded affirmatively, with an innocent face.That is, isn't that how the term "unbearably stubborn" is interpreted?She just put it mildly.
Mrs. Liu Guo was overjoyed, and hesitated after a while: "But I heard that the emperor always said that the eldest prince is not good, that is not good, alas... If the emperor is willing to say a word of appreciation, I don't have to worry so much It's gone." She was worried about gain and loss on her face, such an expression was really rare to see on her face.
Poor parents in the world.Ouyang Ruo sighed.
