Chapter 40
Concubine Zheng choked on these words, and became even more angry.

"Your father was hooked away by Hu Meizi, you still have the mood to eat."

Xiao Changluo: "..."

The mother and concubine's anger is simply... outrageous, can he tie up the father and prevent him from pampering other concubines?
Xiao Changluo rolled his eyes, stood up and poured a cup of tea himself, and said with a smile, "Mother and Concubine, don't worry about Father, there will be other people without Lin Guiren, why bother?"

"You go to drink tea and enjoy the scenery when you have nothing to do. How good is your life?"

"In the future... my son will take you to the mansion and serve you well, so you can rest assured that you will spend the rest of your life there, how about it?"

This is the first time that Xiao Changluo has expressed his heart so clearly to Concubine Zheng, and he is not going to fight for the throne.

As a prince, he naturally had the idea of ​​taking that position.

But he is more self-aware, his civil and military skills are silent, half a bottle is clanging, he is far behind the other brothers, and he is far different from the fourth brother.

Most importantly, he thought clearly.

How tiring it is to be an emperor, he followed the fourth brother and became an idle prince. The more securely the fourth brother sat on the throne and managed Bei Xiao better, the more comfortable he would be as an idle prince.

Concubine Zheng was trembling with anger, she glanced at the two court ladies.

The two understood, and hurried out to close the door behind them.

Concubine Zheng got angry now, and threw her chopsticks heavily on the table, with a cold face, "Are you trying to force me to death?"

Xiao Changluo shouted injustice, "Mother Concubine, my son, this is for your consideration."

He coughed softly, "What do you think Erchen is better than fourth brother?"

Because he was telling the truth, Concubine Zheng was even more annoyed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are your father's most beloved son. How can the crown prince compare with you?"

The corners of Xiao Changluo's lips curled up slightly, because the corners of his eyes didn't change, so this smile was more like a sarcasm.

"Really?" He asked Concubine Zheng, and he was also asking himself.

Concubine Zheng's heart beat violently, she stopped talking to him and kicked him out.

Standing outside, Xiao Changluo raised his head for a long time, touched his stomach, and found that he was not full.

Surely he won't be able to eat when he goes back now, he should go out for a meal.

Concubine Zheng didn't intend to really drive her son out, she opened the door and asked Shi Zhu to invite him in after a while, but Shi Zhu could only speak tremblingly.

"His Royal Highness Seven said that he went to have dinner with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

With a "snap", Concubine Zheng threw the book in her hand out.

Xiao Changluo went over to grab a meal, and Xiao Changyin naturally didn't welcome him.

But Xiao Changluo was smart, he went to see Yun Zhao first, and then stayed there logically.

There are snacks after dinner, and tea after snacks.

When Xiao Changluo hung his head to see what supper was prepared in the small kitchen, he was carried out by Fan Zhou.

The cold wind is howling, the fallen leaves are fluttering, and the figure of the man is in the dark night, so lonely.

He sighed sadly, stroked Gunyuan's stomach and went back contentedly.

After returning, Xiao Changluo stuffed two more balls of cotton in his ears, and listened to Concubine Zheng's reprimand.

But the emperor knew about this farce.

Lin Guiren was sitting not far from the emperor, reading a book of travel notes in a low voice, he couldn't help but put down the travel notes when he heard Shou An's reply, and chuckled, "It turns out that the relationship between His Highness the Seventh Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good."

The emperor didn't show it on the surface when he heard this, but he was actually happy in his heart.

He didn't want to see his sons fighting like black-eyed chickens, and the reason for the fighting, he knew very well, was nothing more than the position under him.

Guiren Lin walked behind the emperor and leaned against the emperor as if she had no bones. She said softly, "However, the relationship between the eldest prince and His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be very bad. The concubine saw the Eldest Prince glaring at His Highness the Crown Prince today."

"Is there any such thing?"

The emperor asked Lin Guiren, but looked at Shou An.

Shou An didn't know what this nobleman meant, but he could only tell what he knew.

"Today the Eldest Prince came to His Highness the Crown Prince in a very aggressive manner and said a few words, then left angrily."

The emperor frowned, and slowly loosened his hand spinning the rosary.

"The Seventh Prince was there at the time." Shou An continued.

Hearing this, the emotion on the emperor's brows disappeared, and he nodded expressionlessly, "Although Changling is old, it is precisely because of his age that he is spoiled."

In fact, this is true.

Although Xiao Changling is the eldest son, he has not received much benefit from the word long.

Only some of the courtiers whom he and Concubine Hui have wooed now insist that the crown prince should be established.

Lin Guiren didn't nod. The emperor said that his son's talk is enough. She is an outsider after all, so it's not good to agree.

So she asked the emperor, "Does Your Majesty want to listen to music?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked someone to bring a pipa.

Lin Guiren sang a poem, and she sang it herself, and it was quite interesting when accompanied by the voice of the pipa.

When the song ended, Shou An glanced at it, and gestured to several palace people to leave.

Standing under the eaves, even if it was very close to the door, there was no more teasing or music from inside.

Shouan murmured in his heart, feeling strange.

Although His Majesty let Lin Guiren and others serve as usual these days, he did not really favor him.

It's been such a long time, and it's still unprecedented.

But this is really not something he should or can manage, and besides, His Majesty has many heirs, and it doesn't really matter whether the concubine is favored or not.

There have been no general elections for several years, and the courtiers have not urged them.

Early the next morning, when it was still daylight, Yun Zhao got up.

It's not that she didn't sleep well because she recognized the bed, but she was too excited.

She changed into her riding clothes early on, tied up her long hair, and fixed it with a simple wooden hairpin.

She wore a forehead ornament in front of her, and the drop-shaped red drop-shaped gem made her skin white as jade.

Her horse is called Taxue, and it was brought over by the guards around Xiao Changyin.

Taxue is just like the name, her whole body is white, and she looks at Yun Zhao with dark and bright eyes, which makes her full of joy.

"Not using it today."

Xiao Changyin suddenly appeared behind her, startling Yun Zhao, backed up again and again, and finally stepped on his foot.

Suddenly, half a footprint appeared on the black boots.

Yun Zhao: "..."

Xiao Changyin continued to speak to Yun Zhao as if he didn't feel any pain, "I don't need it today."

Yun Zhao wondered, "Why?"

"Taxue is not familiar with this place, let it go around for a day, and then no matter where you take it, it can bring you back."

Yun Zhao: "..."

She didn't know the way, and she would indeed run around with the snow tread as he said, and then when she came back, she was confused, pointing in a random direction and then running around.

"Okay." She looked at the maroon horse led by the guards, and still looked at Taxue eagerly.
