969. Chapter 969 Candidate for the Princess

Jin Kingdom, Kyoto.

Compared with the constant wars on the border, Kyoto is still peaceful and prosperous.

The concubines in the palace have never been favored, and have long been accustomed to living in obscurity. The emperor and the queen are not in the palace, and they cannot dance. However, there are still some people who secretly hope that the queen captured by the Xiliang Witch King will not come back. .

As long as there is a queen in the palace, the emperor cannot see the rest of them. If the queen is gone, they still have a few chances to get the emperor's favor, and they don't expect to have the queen's favor to allow them to give birth. A son and a half daughters would be enough. If the queen comes back and I hear that she is pregnant with a dragonborn, I'm afraid they won't even have a place to survive.

Compared with the dark thoughts of these concubines, the life of the Queen Mother was very nourishing and relaxing.

"Ayi, look, these are the ladies from famous families chosen by the Ai family for you. See which one suits your liking." In addition to dealing with matters in the palace every day, the Queen Mother's greatest pleasure is choosing the princess for Merongyi. .

Merongyi just came back from the royal study. He had just learned about the civil strife in Beiming Kingdom and the possible war in the wasteland. He was not in a good mood. He was worried about the safety of the emperor's brother and also worried about the situation of the queen's sister-in-law. Also, once a war breaks out in the wasteland, the people of Jin Kingdom may not have a peaceful life. He wanted to discuss these matters with the Queen Mother, but unexpectedly when he arrived at Cining Palace, he heard that the Queen Mother wanted to choose a princess for him.

"Mother, didn't I say that we will mention this matter later." Mo Rongyi frowned and said in a restrained tone as much as possible.

The Queen Mother gave him an angry look, "How old are you? It's important to marry the princess as soon as possible. These girls are carefully selected by the Ai family. Come and take a look."

Merongyi couldn't help but raise her voice, "Mother, the big thing in the court now is the war at the border and the safety of the emperor brother. You don't even ask if the emperor brother is well. You never care whether the queen's sister-in-law is rescued or not. How do you do everything? Are you thinking about these meaningless things?"

"How come these are meaningless." The Queen Mother said angrily, "How come the Ai family doesn't care about the war on the border? It's just that no matter how worried the Ai family is, what's the use? Can it change the situation? The emperor is fighting in Xiazhou, Ai family My family is also concerned about his safety, but you can’t ignore your life-long affairs just because you are concerned.”

"Mother, nothing is more important than the war now. I will not discuss any marriage matters before the emperor comes back." Merongyi said impatiently.

The Queen Mother said anxiously, "Do you plan not to get married for the rest of your life unless the Emperor comes back?"

Merongyi raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother in shock and anger, "Mother, what did you say?"

She actually cursed the emperor to not come back? He couldn't believe that such words would come from the mouth of his mother. Isn't the life and death of the emperor's brother not important to her at all?

"What Ai Jia said is just in case." The queen mother knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she coughed lightly.

"Mother, don't mention this matter again, wait until the emperor comes back." Mo Rongyi said lightly, with unspeakable disappointment in his heart.

The Queen Mother grabbed Merong Yi's hand and said, "Ayi, the Ai family knows that you and the Emperor are brothers, but accidents are inevitable. You are the Emperor's closest brother and will be the pillar of the Jin Kingdom in the future. The Ai family has nothing to worry about. wrong?"

"Mother, the queen's sister-in-law already has the emperor's child. Your worries are too much." Merongyi said coldly, "I still need to discuss things with Mr. Xu. Mother, I'm leaving first."

"Ayi, Ayi!" the Queen Mother shouted at Merongyi's voice.

…

…

Although she knew that Murong Ke's injuries had recovered, Ye Zhen still prescribed some tonics for him. Those medicines actually had no effect. She mainly wanted to give him some spiritual spring to drink to ensure that he would not be affected by the poison again.

"Yaoyao, didn't you say that my health is fine? Why do I still need to take medicine?" Murong Ke had never taken medicine in his whole life. He drank the most in the past few days, and his scalp felt numb when he saw it.

Ye Zhen said, "Even though I say that, drinking it won't do you any harm."

Murong Ke smiled bitterly, "Why do I think you are deliberately torturing me?"

"What if I really want to torture you?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. He concealed her identity as the master of Qianluosha Pavilion, and she hadn't settled the score with him yet.

"I can only bear with it." Murong Ke sighed.

Ye Zhen said, "Your body was severely damaged before. Although you have recovered, it is always right to be careful."

Murong Ke smiled and nodded, looking down at her slightly bulging belly, "Does A-Zhan know you are pregnant?"

"You should know." Ye Zhen felt happy as she thought that she would be able to see Mo Rongzhan soon.

"Yao Yao..." Murong Ke hesitated and looked at her hesitantly.

Seeing his strange expression, Ye Zhen asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"What will you do if one day A Zhan makes another woman his concubine?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.

"Aren't there other concubines in the palace now?" Ye Zhen said with a smile.

That's different! A Zhan seemed to have kept the woman Murong Ke saw in his dream in mind, otherwise he would not have doted on her for so long. Although it was just his dream, he vaguely felt that it was not just a dream. To know his Whether the dream is true or not, we will have to wait until we see A Zhan to know.

"That's true." Murong Ke smiled, "How could A Zhan be willing to make you sad."

Ye Zhen felt that Murong Ke seemed to have something in his words, "What exactly do you want to say? Why can't I understand."

"I'm thinking, if A Zhan hadn't met you, I don't know what it would have been like." Murong Ke said with a smile, "I have never seen him smile before, let alone take care of any woman. His life seems to be Just fight."

In his dream, the A-Zhan he saw was the same as when he was a child. Apart from fighting and fighting in the Kingdom of Jin, he seemed to be interested in nothing else. Even the concubine he made later did not seem to change his personality.

Speaking of which, the only person who can truly change A Zhan is Yaoyao.

It was she who made him look like a human being.

"The emperor must have suffered a lot in the palace before." Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the Queen Mother was relatively weak at that time and failed to protect him." Murong Ke said lightly.

Ye Zhen sighed in her heart, she couldn't see any weakness in the current Queen Mother.

"Then why did you become the Pavilion Master of Qian Rakshasa in the first place?" Ye Zhen asked.

Murong Ke smiled, probably expecting Ye Zhen to ask this question, "Do you still remember Mr. Zhuo? I was only an agent for a few days, but I didn't expect to become the master of the pavilion."

"Why did you become a disciple of Mr. Zhuo?" Ye Zhen asked again. Mr. Zhuo was just a charlatan, and Murong Ke was a prince. How did he become Mr. Zhuo's apprentice?
