Chapter 354 Brother's Death and Brother's Death 3
"Mother," Prince Gong looked at the Queen Mother and said, "You must not let the Queen get pregnant. Once this woman has a child, her mind will no longer revolve around men, and she will also develop ambitions."
If the queen became pregnant, who would know whose child it was? Even if the child was his, Prince Gong would not want it. He would feel disgusted by a child born by a fickle woman.
"Don't worry! The queen's body has been useless for a long time," the queen mother rolled her eyes at her son, "Do I need you to remind me of this kind of thing? If I were like you, worrying about the queen's pregnancy only now, the queen would have been pregnant a long time ago."
"Your Majesty, you are really thoughtful," Prince Gong came behind the Queen Mother and massaged her shoulders. "My son can't wait any longer. Every time I attend the morning court, I get jealous of the throne."
"If you want to accomplish great things, you must have no patience at all. Then I advise you to give up as soon as possible," said the Queen Mother. "You want to seize the throne. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. So it is a taboo to be impatient. You must know that you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient."
How could the Queen Mother not be anxious? But the more anxious she is, the more patient she must be. It is only the beginning now, but her youngest son is already anxious. How can she expect to achieve anything big?
"I was too impatient," Prince Gong readily admitted his mistake. "Luckily, mother is here, otherwise my little tricks would never have accomplished anything!"
"You just keep talking nonsense." The Queen Mother said with a smile:
The Queen Mother was a loving mother and a filial son, but the Queen was in torment! She was obviously very impatient, but she had to accompany the Emperor to play the role of a loving couple. The smile on her lips seemed to be about to freeze.
"It's been a long time since I've accompanied Luo Zi for a walk like this." Luo Zi was the empress's maiden name. The emperor looked at the empress beside him with a slightly apologetic expression and said, "Since my father became seriously ill, I haven't been able to accompany you properly, and you have been wronged."
After the late emperor fell seriously ill, the emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, had to deal with state affairs while taking care of his seriously ill father, so he naturally neglected the queen.
Later, because of the need to observe mourning and the fact that he had just ascended the throne and had too many things to do, the emperor had even less time to spend with the queen, so naturally he felt guilty towards the queen.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that," the Queen said gently, "I have seen your hard work. Since you ascended the throne, you have slept less than three hours a day. I feel so distressed. How can I blame you for not having time to accompany me?"
As she spoke, the queen stopped and looked at the emperor affectionately: "Your Majesty, you and I are husband and wife, please don't say such things again in the future. Do you know how guilty you make me feel when you say such things?"
"I am just a woman. Even if I feel sorry for Your Majesty, I can't do anything for you. I can only help Your Majesty manage the harem and prevent Your Majesty from worrying about trivial matters in the harem. There is really too little I can do for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty still feels guilty about me. This makes me feel very uncomfortable."
"But fortunately," the Queen changed the subject, "with Prince Gong helping the Emperor in the court, I can worry less about the Emperor, so instead of feeling guilty about me, the Emperor should reward Prince Gong well."
Since there is an opportunity, the queen will of course help her cousin to get more benefits.
"Of course," the emperor said with a smile, "I have already planned to arrange a marriage for my tenth brother..."
"What..." The Queen's uncontrolled voice interrupted the Emperor's words.
"Queen, what's wrong with you?" The emperor looked at the queen in confusion, but he didn't doubt anything.
But it's true. After all, who would doubt their good brother and good wife?
"No, I'm just too surprised," the Queen said with a quick smile, "Tenth brother is not young anymore. If the late emperor hadn't been seriously ill, he would have been arranged to marry long ago, and he wouldn't still be without a princess who understands him."
It's so hateful. Why doesn't the disgusting emperor just die? He actually wants to grant a marriage to his cousin.
What should she do? The queen was very anxious, but she could not find an excuse to stop the emperor from granting the marriage.
"Luo Zi is right. So once the mourning period is over, I will immediately think of arranging a marriage for my tenth brother," the emperor said. "I think the left prime minister's legitimate daughter is good. She is a perfect match for my tenth brother."
The left prime minister's legitimate daughter naturally also took part in the selection. She was a very dignified-looking girl, and when the emperor saw the girl he felt that she was a perfect match for his tenth brother. Therefore, although he put a name on the other party, he also privately told the left prime minister that he would grant the marriage to his daughter.
The Queen had to use a lot of willpower to prevent her face from darkening. "I still have some impression of the left prime minister's legitimate daughter. I remember that she was a very dignified-looking woman, and she was a good match for my tenth brother, but..."
The Queen frowned slightly. "But I think it would be better for the Emperor to ask the Tenth Brother. After all, she is the one you will spend your whole life with. We think the Left Prime Minister's daughter is a good match for the Tenth Brother, but that doesn't mean the Tenth Brother will like her."
"Your Majesty and I have a deep love for each other, so I naturally hope that you can find a wife who is equal to you. Therefore, the person you choose for marriage must be someone you like, and you should not marry someone blindly just because the emperor has granted you the marriage."
"Well, what you said does make sense," the emperor nodded and said, "I was originally going to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage, but after hearing what you said, it would be better to ask my tenth brother for his opinion. After all, I want to spend my whole life with my tenth brother, so it's more important that my tenth brother likes me."
The queen heaved a sigh of relief. She believed that her cousin would definitely refuse and would never fall in love with the left prime minister's daughter. However...
Then the queen became annoyed, but her cousin rejected the left prime minister's daughter, and the emperor would not give up the idea of marriage, after all, her cousin's age was there.
In short, at this time, the queen wanted to kill the emperor even more.
The emperor still had a lot of memorials to review, so after accompanying the empress for half an hour in the Imperial Garden, he returned to the Qinzheng Palace.
Of course, the emperor sent the queen back first, and then promised to come to the queen's palace in the evening, and then returned to the Qinzheng Hall to handle state affairs.
"Perrin, go and find out whether Prince Gong has left..." The Queen then changed her tone and said, "Forget it, it's already this hour, Prince Gong must have left the Queen Mother's Palace."
