Chapter 985

Xiao Wenyu hugged Xing Xing and walked to the seat at the top of the main hall and sat down.

He looked at Concubine Nie. Concubine Nie has been in the palace for many years and has been living a quiet life. In fact, with her status, if she hadn't entered the palace back then, she would have married a good son-in-law, but in the end she wasted her youth because of him. .

Because of the guilt in his heart, he would go to their palace to sit for a while when he had nothing to do these years.

The people in the palace did not dare to treat them slowly.

But recently, because of his quarrel with the queen, several women in the harem often appeared in front of him, or met by chance, or gave soup.

Concubine Nie did not send it.

Xiao Wenyu looked at her, guessing what kind of heart this woman is? Will the stars be abused.

Concubine Nie said, "I don't know why Your Majesty came here?"

Xiao Wenyu looked at the stars in his arms, and said, "How about you raising the second princess in the future?"

Concubine Nie was dumbfounded and couldn't react for a while.

Xiao Wenyu heard that she didn't speak, and thought she was unwilling, but he didn't blame her, he just frowned and thought, if Concubine Nie is unwilling, he doesn't intend to hand over the second princess to other women in the palace. He planned to send the second princess to Xie's house, and give it to his eldest brother and sister-in-law to take care of her.

Just as Xiao Wenyu was thinking, Concubine Nie exclaimed excitedly: "Is what His Majesty said true?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at the second princess. The cute little girl was looking at her with blinking eyes. She looked so cute, scratching Concubine Nie's heart like a kitten.

She wished she could snatch the little guy from His Majesty's arms immediately.

After staying in this palace for so many years, her cold and lonely heart is almost dead. Now that His Majesty suddenly sent such a cutie here to raise her, can she be unhappy?

Xiao Wenyu looked up and saw Concubine Nie excited and happy, and couldn't help but pause. He looked at Concubine Nie carefully and found that she was really happy.

Xiao Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Since I said I will let you raise it, it is naturally true."

After confirming this, Concubine Nie said excitedly, "Your Majesty, can I hug her?"

Xiao Wenyu put the second princess down.

The second princess didn't move, and looked at Xiao Wenyu with a puzzled expression: "Father, why do I want Niang Niang to raise her, and the queen mother?"

Xiao Wenyu reached out and touched her small face, and said, "Your second brother is sick, and your mother has to take care of her, so from now on, you will live with Niang Niangniang, okay?"

After listening to Xiao Wenyu's words, the second princess didn't feel jealous or anything at all, she was used to the fact that the queen mother loves the second brother.

"Okay then, don't worry, father, I will be obedient."

The second princess promised seriously.

Xiao Wenyu smiled and touched her face: "Father will visit you often."

"Thank you, Father."

Xiao Wenyu looked at Concubine Nie: "Take good care of the second princess."

"The concubine will follow His Majesty's will."

Because Xiao Wenyu had something to do, he got up and took people away. As soon as he walked out of the palace door, he heard Nie Yuyao's voice from inside: "Is your name Xing Xing? I'll take you to prepare the room. What kind of room does Xing Xing like?" Madam Nie will help you clean up, how about it?"

The second princess said happily: "I want pink curtains, a pink gauze curtain, and I want..."

The two talked back and forth.

Outside, Xiao Wenyu stared slightly and told Zhou Youjin: "Send two people to watch over here and see how Concubine Nie treats the second princess?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the evening, when the prince heard the news that the queen had been grounded, he couldn't help taking people to Xiao Wenyu's palace to find Xiao Wenyu.

"Father, have you restrained the queen mother's feet?"

Xiao Wenyu looked at the prince. The ten-year-old prince looked very much like Wang Mengyao. When he saw him, he seemed to see Wang Mengyao. Xiao Wenyu's mood was affected. He knew that the prince had nothing wrong, but when he saw the prince, he thought of what Wang Mengyao made. He didn't even want to see the prince.

Xiao Wenyu knew that his thoughts were wrong, he tried his best to control his emotions, and looked at the prince with gentle eyes.

"I banned her feet, do you know what your mother did?"

Xiao Wenyu didn't intend to hide what the prince and queen had done.

"In order to win back my heart, she did not hesitate to attack your second imperial sister. Your second imperial sister is so young, she even gave her a chin bean just to let me go to see her. She even wrote a letter to your grandfather privately, asking you Grandfather held the military power over Yuegu Pass, but your grandfather accepted the letter and made a wrong decision in the battle against Beiqi, resulting in the tragic death of 20,000 people."

After hearing Xiao Wenyu's words, the prince opened his eyes wide in shock.

Xiao Wenyu beckoned the prince to come over. He and the queen were strangers now. He didn't want the prince to be caught in the middle, so he planned to tell the prince about the matter between him and the queen.

"You are ten years old now, and you are already sensible as a prince. Father, please tell you about the relationship between me and your mother."

Right or wrong, the prince should know, he should have his own judgment.

"Your mother was able to marry me before because the Supreme Emperor asked your grandmother to enter the palace to choose a princess for me. At that time, I was still a prince. Your grandmother didn't know much about the nature of girls in Beijing. The Supreme Emperor asked her to make the decision. She chose three candidates from the daughters she was familiar with, and originally she wanted the Supreme Emperor to choose a woman from them to be the princess."

"Who would have thought that the Supreme Emperor would point me to a concubine and a concubine? At that time, Miss Pei, the mother of your elder sister, was the granddaughter of the chief minister of the cabinet. At that time, I had just entered the royal family, and my foundation was not stable. The Supreme Emperor wanted to use the power of the Pei family to help me stabilize my foundation. As for your mother, she is the daughter of the royal family. The Wang family is not a dignitary in Beijing, but a rising star. Refer her to me as a side concubine, and then I will have two relatives, one civil and one military, to support me."

Xiao Wenyu told the crown prince what he broke apart in this way, so that the crown prince could understand that every matter concerning the emperor has its own considerations, not just what he wants.

It was the first time for the prince to hear Xiao Wenyu talk about the past, and he couldn't help listening fascinated. Xiao Wenyu saw that he was listening seriously, so he started talking again.

"Originally, I thought that Pei's daughter, as the daughter of the Pei family's concubine, was the most suitable candidate for queen, but who knew that she grew up pampered in the Pei family, very willful, and finally made a big mistake. At that time, I saw you The queen mother is a very straightforward person, even if I treat her badly, she doesn't complain at all, on the contrary, she helps me everywhere, and I want to treat her kindly and live a good life with her, and later I canonized her as the empress of the Great Zhou."

"In the beginning, your queen mother did her job and was gentle with others, but after three or four years, she changed her taste. She was very cold and arrogant, and she was very condescending. She dared not speak of her in front of her, but talked about her behind her back. No, she doesn't care about me, nor her own children."
