His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is newly married, and the ceremony for the canonization of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess will be held soon. The Queen Mother has no plans to choose concubines for the princes so soon.However, after hearing the news just now, the Queen Mother seemed to have changed her mind and planned to select concubines for several princes as soon as possible, and also selected several concubines for His Highness the Crown Prince.

The Queen Mother therefore smiled and said: "Concubine Shu is right. The princes have already reached the age of choosing concubines, and it is time to choose concubines for them. When tomorrow is free, the Ai family will issue an edict to first let the third-rank and above The imperial court ordered the portraits of the daughters of the family to be brought to the palace for the princes to choose from."

"That's great!" Several concubines were very happy, thinking that they could finally choose a concubine for their son, which meant that they could give birth to direct grandchildren.

At this time, someone shouted again: "The Emperor has arrived——"

Except for the Queen Mother, everyone stood up to greet the Emperor.

When the emperor came in, he was obviously a little unhappy. After waving his hands to let everyone level up, he sat down.The emperor sat down, first greeted the Queen Mother, and then waved Xiaobao over. When talking to Xiaobao, a smile appeared on his face.Because the emperor was present, no matter whether it was the emperor, the princess, or the concubines, everyone was silent. No one dared to talk nonsense, and the scene became much colder.

The queen mother smiled and mentioned to the emperor that she wanted to choose concubines for several princes, and the emperor nodded in approval.However, the emperor did not mention a word about someone presenting the stone tablet in the main hall today.

The emperor didn't mention it, and it was hard for the queen mother to say that she had received the news.

When Li Yao and Rong Yue served tea to the emperor, the emperor took the tea and drank it with a smile on his face. He was not special to Rong Yue and said: "Last time you gave me pills to regulate my body and pills to regulate my sleep. I have been eating and using spices, and I feel very good."

Rong Yue smiled and said: "The emperor will use it well. My daughter-in-law will make more and give it to the emperor."

The emperor smiled and said: "You still call me your emperor? It's time to change your tune."

Rong Yue obediently changed her words: "Father."

Emperor: "This is it."

Rong Yue could tell that the emperor's voice was filled with joy at this moment and he was not angry.Therefore, she, who was a little worried just now, finally felt a little relieved.

The emperor didn't mention that matter, does that mean that the emperor has no grudge in his heart?
As a result, the emperor drank the tea she served and left without staying long.

Rong Yue kept that incident in her mind and didn't stay at the Queen Mother's house for long, so she left with Li Yao and Xiaobao.As soon as they left the Longevity Palace and before they returned to the East Palace, someone came to invite her to see the saint.

Rong Yue: "Eunuch Zhang, does the emperor only invite me? Not the prince?"

Eunuch Zhang: "Only the Crown Princess is invited."

Li Yao thought for a while and said, "Let's go together! Although I know that the father will not embarrass you, we are fine anyway, so let's go with you to see the father."

"it is good!"

Although they went together, because the emperor only told Rong Yue that Li Yao and Rong Bao did not dare to follow them in, so they stood outside the door waiting for Rong Yue. "Don't worry! We are here waiting for you to come out."

"Okay, then I'll go in."

Rong Yue entered the emperor's study alone, where the emperor was reading a book.

After Rong Yue saluted, the emperor didn't talk nonsense to her, and actually took the initiative to mention the incident in the morning: "This morning, someone sent a stone tablet. My daughter-in-law, can you guess what words are engraved on it? "

Rong Yue was startled, raised her head and asked, "How can I guess my daughter-in-law if my father doesn't tell me? I'm not interested in matters in the court either."

The emperor then said calmly: "Someone sent a stone tablet with the eight characters 'Jiangshan changed hands, and the successor of the Li family' was engraved on it."

Rong Yue's heart thumped, but her face was calm and composed. She chuckled twice and said, "Father, who has a grudge against the Rong Mansion and wants to destroy it with the help of father?" Rong Mansion? Are there still people who are dissatisfied with my son Rong Baode's father's favor? Let me guess, that stone tablet must have been newly carved, and then someone made it look like an unearthed cultural relic and sent someone to the main hall. Up? Well, let me guess again, is it someone digging some mountain and saying it was dug out by accident?"

The emperor originally thought that Rong Yue would be frightened and tremble, but he didn't expect her to be so calm and to the point. He immediately thought that someone might be targeting Rong Bao?Rong Bao, the emperor's grandson, is very popular with him, and his sons may indeed be jealous.

Emperor: "My daughter-in-law is right! The stone tablet was recently excavated by someone building a temple in Xishan. I have sent people to investigate this matter, and there should be results in a few days. The words on the stone tablet, It has also been authenticated and it is indeed newly carved.”

Rong Yue: "Father must investigate and deal with this matter carefully, and cannot let the person behind this alienation scheme succeed. This person has a terrible intention! Although father will never worry about the Rong family taking over the Li family, but, This estrangement is too vicious. I think it is aimed at Rong Bao, right?"

The emperor asked back: "Then you say, should I worry about the country changing hands and replacing the Li family?"

Rong Yue said generously: "Since my father wants to talk to his daughter-in-law, she will not be polite. My father thinks, my father Rong Jing or you, who is smarter and more capable, who can guide the country better? Or, in my opinion, who is more intelligent and capable, or who can guide the country better? , I will ask directly, does the emperor think my father, Rong Jing, has the ability to win over you?"

The emperor didn't expect Rong Yue to ask so directly, and suddenly laughed and said: "By him? He doesn't have that ability yet."

Rong Yue smiled and said: "So, he is just a general, and my father is the emperor. You are the king, and he is the minister. My father is wise and powerful, and versatile in both civil and military affairs. How can Rong Jing be as good as his father? Besides, my father is a wise man. His many sons are young, and all of them are civilized and talented. Compared with his daughter-in-law's brothers, they are even more different. Could it be that the father really has no confidence in himself and his princes and grandsons, right? Who thinks so highly of the Rong family? In the opinion of the daughter-in-law, the person this person really wants to deal with should not be the Rong family, because the Rong family is really not worth mentioning. Maybe some people think that Rong Bao is too popular with his father and want to take precautions against it. Rong Bao, right?"

If the emperor did have a grudge at first, he was dispelled by Rong Yue's words.In the past, the emperor was a little concerned about Rong Jing's outstanding achievements, but since Li Yao became the general king and won the battle in Liao, the emperor has long ignored Rong Jing.Rong Jing's Rong family army suffered heavy casualties, and its remaining strength was less than [-]. It was no longer what it used to be.

Therefore, the emperor did not say anything more, but instead comforted Rong Yue: "There are a lot of rumors outside, so my daughter-in-law doesn't need to pay too much attention. I like Rong Bao, and no matter what they say, they can't change my love for Rong Bao."

After the emperor finished speaking, he sent Rong Yue away.

At this moment, the third prince Li Long's mother-in-law returned to the house, and Li Long was waiting for her at the house.Seeing Concubine Shu come back, Li Long couldn't wait to pull his mother-in-law and asked: "Mother-in-law, how is your father's reaction?"
