Gu Suier was talking with several family members of the Ruiding Gongfu. Among them, they naturally talked about the New Year's banquets and festivals. When it comes to festivals, it is natural to mention the great prince.
"It's not worth it to be stiff because of this!" The old ancestor sighed: "Recently, he was bored at home and didn't go out. I also asked A Yue to persuade him, but I didn't listen!"
Gu Suier thought of this, but also found it difficult, thinking that if the great prince insisted on not coming, it would be ugly after all, after all, this was the first emperor's eldest son.
"Old ancestor, how do you manage this? What are they doing, and how they are causing trouble to this point, I don’t understand. The princess came to me that day and asked me to talk to the emperor, but ancestors, you I also know that the emperor's temperament, where is it for me to talk about it! I couldn't interfere with such a major matter, so I didn't dare to agree."
Gu Suier's words made the ancestors sigh.
"I also asked about this. Actually, it's a trivial matter, but it's just a sigh of relief. On the side of the prince, holding a sigh of breath, uncomfortable, maybe still unwilling in his heart. It's just that his temper is honest and natural. There is no way to do anything rebellious, and you can only play a character like this. As for the emperor, the new emperor ascends the throne. Naturally, he cannot be allowed to be so presumptuous. You have to show him some colors to convince the crowd."
Having said this, the ancestor said helplessly: "It's just that there are a lot of discussions among the officials nowadays, only that the emperor and the great prince are at odds. If it really makes the great prince absent from the festival, I am afraid that it will inevitably be a bit criticized."
Gu Suier twisted her eyebrows: "This is the first ceremony after the emperor ascended the throne. There shouldn't be such a thing. It is the emperor's rule. I am afraid that it will eventually fall to His Majesty, which is also a handle."
The ancestor nodded: "Isn't it, so I thought, this matter is going to give way, the emperor will give the prince a step down, the prince, of course, it is really wrong, let him come over to the emperor to plead, siblings There was no overnight enmity, this matter was revealed."
Gu Suier was silent for a moment and thought about it: "Alright, I ask the emperor to see what he intends."
After talking about this, he brought up the matter about the empress dowager.
The old ancestor shook his head even more: "You have to beware of this. I heard that the empress dowager meant that the harem is too lonely. Although the filial piety period is less than three years now, it is not easy to recruit concubines with great fanfare, but you should still seal a few. A concubine, at any rate, under the excitement, she can also open up branches and leaves to the emperor."
When Gu Suier heard this, she was naturally unhappy, but she still nodded, "Yes."
The old ancestor looked at her expression and knew that she was not happy, and took her hand. "Sui'er, I watched you become the queen of the country from a country girl who didn’t understand anything. The empress dowager has an idea to make you unhappy, but you have to see that the emperor is already the emperor now. How can there be only one queen in the queen’s harem?"
Gu Suier was silent for a while, but finally she said: "Everything depends on the emperor's meaning. If the emperor is not happy, then I can't force the emperor to go to someone else's bed."
When she said this, the old ancestor and the two young grandmothers were shocked.
Gu Suier's words were rather stubborn, unprecedented.
After Gu Suier said this, she suddenly smiled: "Old ancestor, I know you are for my good, but the emperor doesn't want to accept the concubine, and I will not force him. As for the empress dowager, let her go. Please Ann, I have never missed it, and I have never been short of the worship service. She is upset and asks me to trouble her, so she can come."
These words can be regarded as restraining the few women present.
They stared at her blankly, realizing for the first time that she was really the woman sitting on the queen's throne now.
After leaving the old ancestors, when Xiao Heng came back in the evening, Gu Suier and Xiao Heng mentioned these two things.
She first talked about the great prince.
"What are your plans now? Can't you really stop him from participating in this festival? You know that he is his own temperament. If you don't understand, you think you are oppressing your emperor brother!"
Gu Suier whispered: "These are all uneasy!"
Xiao Heng listened to her soft voice, still faintly angry, and couldn't help but look down. She only saw her pouting her mouth, full of reluctance, as if someone had offended her.
At the moment, it was a rare laugh, and the corners of her lips were rubbed; "Who offended my queen and made the queen so unhappy?"
Gu Suier glanced at him: "It's you!"
Xiao Heng's good-looking eyebrows were slightly twisted: "What about the great prince?"
Gu Suier didn't turn around, and went to hang the robe he had changed next to him: "What are you going to do with the great lord? I really want to get angry with him!"
Xiao Heng said quietly; "He didn't get the throne, so he was unwilling. But what about that, the overall situation is fixed, and he can only recognize it. As for the one he made now, he always has to hang on. After waiting for a while, when the fire is up, I will give him a step."
Gu Suier breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's better than being stubborn. It's not worth making a big joke just to make trouble!"
Xiao Heng raised her eyebrows and looked at her like this: "What happened just now, where did I upset you?"
It's okay if he didn't say it. When he said that, Gu Suier remembered that he might be a consort.
Regarding the fact that he might accept the concubine, she knew that if Xiao Heng really wanted to accept the concubine, she would definitely not be able to stop it. Although the queen was big, she had to listen to the emperor.
But now, there are so many people who are trying to persuade Xiao Heng to accept the concubine. It seems that she has to be a virtuous queen and help advise the emperor to accept the concubine.
How is this possible?
When Gu Suier thought of this, her heart was naturally unhappy.
"The emperor, let me ask you something." Although Gu Suier is now reading some books, she is not as knowledgeable as others. She wonders if there is such an example: "During the past dynasties, every emperor must have a harem. what?"
Seeing her asking about this, Xiao Heng glanced at her: "Did someone persuade you? Who said something?"
Gu Suier shook her head: "It's nothing, but the old ancestor mentioned it, which was also kind. She said that sooner or later, she would not be able to escape, but it would be better to accept it. It also gave me a preparation."
Xiao Heng stared at her: "Then what do you think?"
Gu Suier looked at him displeasedly: "What can I think about this kind of thing, don't you just look at the emperor, what do you think? Where do I have the final say!"
After saying this, the maid offered fresh fruit. This fruit was sent from the south, with red flesh inside, full of juice, and a red skin on the outside. This kind of fruit is a rare thing in Yanjing City and is called "Fire Fruit".
The maid had peeled the fire fruit and cut it into small pieces and placed it on a plate. Gu Suier took a silver stick and took a piece, and tasted one piece by herself, leaving Xiao Heng alone.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Heng naturally knew that she was really unhappy.
She is usually gentle and considerate to herself, she is all water-like temperament, how can it be like today.
"What do you say does not count? Isn't the harem under your control?" Xiao Heng said quietly.
"The harem is under my control, but whoever enters the harem is not under my control!" Gu Suier glanced at him and wondered what he meant by this.
"You are in charge of whoever enters the harem," Xiao Heng said.
"Really?" Gu Suier suddenly realized something.
If the harem is under her control, then she doesn't want to let Xiao Heng na concubine, wouldn't it be enough to prevent the other party from entering the harem?
"Really." Xiao Heng said definitely.
"Then what if I don't let you take the concubine? Don't you want to let the harem enter?" Gu Suier asked tentatively.
Xiao Heng glanced at her, but didn't answer.
Gu Suier blinked and quickly took a piece of fire fruit with a silver sign, snuggled it up and fed it to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng looked down at the woman with a pleased look in his arms, and then continued: "In all dynasties, emperors naturally have harems. There are many harem concubines, but there will always be."
"That's it..." Gu Suier sighed, thinking in her heart that Xiao Heng couldn't let Xiao Heng set such an unprecedented precedent.
"But—" Xiao Heng continued faintly: "There is one exception to the emperor."
When Gu Suier heard this, she immediately became energetic: "Which one?"
"The first emperor of this dynasty."
Gu Suier thought hard, she remembered the Taizu emperor, it was his mother who dreamed of the red sun in her arms and gave birth to him.
This kind of emperor Taizu was bohemian when he was young, and later the world was in chaos. He would seize the world by fate, ascend the throne of God, and become the founding emperor of Da Zhao.
Why did Gu Suier know this, because Ah Chen, like this, was in her dreams. At that time, because she dreamed about the sun, she deliberately turned over the life of the emperor, but she didn’t know it. This emperor didn't even have a harem.
"He is also an emperor, why is there no harem?"
"When he and Queen Ruiwen met at the end of the day, they later ascended to the throne of God and would not disappoint Queen Ruiwen."
For this period of history, Xiao Heng has read it, but there are not many records about the early years of Emperor Taizu and Empress Ruiwen, only a few.
"That's it!"
Gu Suier suddenly said, "Since the ancestors can't have a harem, why do they have to be an emperor now?"
Xiao Heng nodded: "I think so too."
He was originally a person with cold temperament, and he originally gave people a sense of superiority. Now, when he is the king of God, he is even more noble. Every sentence he says is golden, and he cherishes words like gold on weekdays, and he does not easily speak to outsiders.
But now, he actually said something, he felt so too, casual and casual, even with a naive taste.
She couldn't help laughing: "The emperor, you think I'm right, so you do what I said?"
Xiao Heng watched the brilliance flowing in her eyes, and said concisely, "Yes. You are the queen, you have the final say."
He was silent, raised his hand to hug her in his arms, and said, "The emperor also listens to the queen."
Gu Suier bit her lip and looked at him with a smile: "Listen to everything?"
Xiao Heng: "Listen to all."
Gu Suier raised her face and looked at him carefully, only to think that his current appearance was obviously unremarkable, but he was inexplicably obedient, very obedient and warm.
She almost couldn't help feeling his head.
"Then I don't allow you to accept a concubine, and want you to learn from Emperor Taizu?" She tilted her head and said deliberately.
"Then I will study hard." His voice lowered, rustling, in her ear.
What this said...
He is not a person who can speak sweet words. He can hear these words in his mouth. For Gu Suier, it is almost like honey. Just hearing this sentence is sweet enough to make her throat tight and her chest seems When the spring tide surged, it was sour.
She even had the urge to cry.
In this life, no matter what the road will be in the future, his words are enough.
She wrapped his neck, almost half-hanging on him, her face lifted up to reach his lips.
She suddenly wanted to kiss him, kiss him carefully, kiss him everywhere.
Xiao Heng didn't move.
He looked at her in silence, watching her come up softly and kiss the corners of his mouth with soft lips, giving himself a delicate and moist touch.
Gu Suier felt that he was as hard as a rock, hard and sharp.
But she was not afraid, she was not afraid of him at all, she clung to him, entangled him like a vine, entangled him, her lips tossed and fluent on the corners of his lips, and then went to kiss his straight nose, with a soft tongue. Licked.
In the eyes of the world, this man has the supreme power. He is indifferent and unsmiling. He is unattainable. He is eloquent and cannot be looked at directly. But she alone knows that he is telling himself that everything is up to him. , Listen to yourself everything you say, and say "I want to study hard."
His voice is hoarse and his tone is gentle, which makes people feel sour and sweet after listening.
Her lips tossed on his hard cheeks, and her eyes closed, almost urge to weep.
"I still remember a poem you taught me before." Her lips were shaking and her voice was muted.
"Huh?" The man said lowly.
"I want to know each other, and my life will never fail. The mountains have no mausoleum, and the rivers are exhausted. Winter thunder shakes, summer rains and snow. The heaven and the earth are united, and I dare to be with the king.
Gu Suier whispered: "In this life, I am yours, you are mine, and the next life will be too."
She wrapped her waist, her eyes flowed, her voice was soft and charming: "I will not allow any other woman to touch you."
The man raised his hand and pressed her against him.
His chest was hot and hot.
He hugged her tightly, so tightly that there was no distance at all.
