Chapter 201: The Stunning Secret Guard in Ancient Power Conspiracy and Hegemony (4)
At this time, Gongyi Shuo was still the eldest son of the central palace with unparalleled reputation.
The queen is already selecting candidates for her main concubine and concubine.
According to the timeline, Gongyi Shuo will marry two concubines in a few months.
The original owner was sent to the palace of the eldest son of the emperor in advance just to make up for the time difference and occupy the position of the first person in Gong Yishuo's heart.
Originally, the prince had maids serving to warm his bed, but the current queen was born in the countryside and had never seen these things and was not particular about them, so she did not arrange these for her son.
As a result, Concubine Jing and her son seized the opportunity to insert the original owner as a chess piece, indirectly killing Gong Yishuo and her son.
"Gongyi Shuo."
Shi Ran slowly read out the name.
He is indeed a gentle and gentle gentleman.
Unfortunately, he was too kind. Even if his mother desperately tried to protect him, and even if the Holy Emperor was thinking about the eldest son at the last moment of his death, he was destined to not survive once the next prince ascended the throne.
The Holy Spirit also understood this when he was dying, but he had no choice.
When a new dynasty was first established, an emperor with skill or background was needed to suppress this group of ministers who served the dragon with outstanding military exploits.
If Gongyi Shuo's uncle survives, he will be the most worthy crown prince.
Unfortunately, in the cruel reality, there is no if or if.
His last entrustment and request were just a last try for his eldest son.
After calculating the current relationship between the parties, Shi Ran already had an idea in mind.
After lighting a stick of incense, footsteps came from the outer hall.
Shi Ran's heightened sense of consciousness was far better than ordinary people's hearing, which was enough for her to hear clearly the conversation between the master and the servant outside.
"Your Highness, the beauty presented by the governor of Yong'an County is already waiting in your bedroom. This beauty's net worth has been thoroughly investigated, and there is nothing unusual about it."
"understood."
A gentle voice sounded.
Then, there was the sound of the palace door being pushed open, and the sound of gentle and calm footsteps gradually approaching.
Shi Ran gently closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
She could clearly "see" through her spiritual consciousness that a young and handsome man was standing beside the bed, looking at her gently.
Shi Ran had seen many good-looking men. When she became the empress, almost all aristocratic families sent all the most outstanding men in the world to the palace.
Among these stunning paintings that are either unearthly or unrivaled, Gongyi Shuo is not outstanding.
But there is an extraordinarily gentle and calm demeanor about him, and he seems to be unable to see the impetuousness and confusion that is common among men of his age.
A gentleman with words, warm as jade.
He is not like a prince who has all the reputations of his direct descendants and eldest children, but more like an elegant scholar who has a thousand words to write.
Seeing that the beauty who had been presented seemed to have fallen asleep due to waiting for too long, Gongyi Shuo did not get angry or ask someone to carry Shi Ran out.
He didn't even summon the maid waiting outside the screen, but changed his clothes and washed himself.
Then, he carefully bypassed Shi Ran, lay quietly on the bed, and fell asleep.
From Gong Yishuo's breathing, Shi Ran could tell that at this moment, he was really asleep and not just teasing himself.
Opening her eyes, Shi Ran slowly looked closer at him.
This person is really interesting.
However, there are also some who are too gentlemanly.
In order to make him a candidate who can afford the throne, it seems that he has to put in some effort.
The next day at Yin hour and a quarter.
Before the chamberlain beside him came in and shouted, Gong Yishuo's habitual body suddenly woke up.
Just as he was about to stand up, he found a pair of eyes next to him looking at him.
It's the beauty who was offered.
Seeing Gong Yishuo's eyes looking over, she was not afraid, but laughed.
Only then did Gong Yishuo notice that there were actually a pair of pear dimples on her cheeks.
The originally plump and graceful appearance, against the background of this pair of pear dimples, actually gained a hint of innocence and cunning like the bright spring flowers.
"When did you wake up?"
Gongyi Shuo was not angry at being stared at like this, but instead asked gently.
"I don't remember, I think I've been awake for a long time. Your Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, why didn't you wake me up?"
Gongyi Shuo did not have the majesty and indifference of a prince, and Shi Ran did not have the caution and respect of the people who presented beauties, and did not even use the title of concubine.
The two people were lying on the large bed and chatting.
"I've already fallen asleep, why bother waking you up again. You called, Shi Ran, right?"
Gongyi Shuo searched his mind for the name that was presented along with the portrait of the beauty.
He was about to get married, and according to the rules of the palace, he should have arranged the maids to serve him a few years ago.
The queen mother has always been reluctant and has put it off until now.
But the queen mother also told him about the maid in the palace, and she could not guarantee who the real master behind this maid was.
"A Shuo, your mother and I are actually an incompetent person. At that time, I just liked your father's handsomeness. Who would have thought that a mud-legged man from a rural background could eventually become the founding emperor of the country."
The queen could only be described as having a beautiful appearance, which was almost lost in the brilliance under the cover of the gorgeous crown.
"Who would have thought that my husband would become an emperor? I have no ability to be a queen at all. After studying for so many years, I still can't compare to those women from aristocratic families. I am afraid that my palace will be as leaky as a sieve. I can keep it. The reason why you grew up safely is probably because of your father's efforts. Arranging a palace maid to serve is probably a direct choice of chess pieces arranged by others."
The queen never concealed her origins.
She is a country girl, but she doesn't know how to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or housekeeping.
"If you have a girl you like, just find someone to take care of you. If you delay it for so long, if you continue to delay it, I'm afraid the courtiers will talk about it."
The queen said softly.
But the expression on her face was obviously intolerable.
After a while, she spoke sadly again.
"But if you like her too much, don't choose her. The palace is a cannibalistic place. Don't let the person you really like get involved."
Gong Yishuo always felt that there was something heavy weighing on his mother's heart.
Ever since she became sensible, she didn't seem to be very happy.
Others said that the queen mother had gained immense wealth and married her father when he was still in need. And because all members of her mother's family died in battle, she won the position of queen for her.
Otherwise, with her background and appearance, she might not even have a chance to enter the palace now.
The queen mother was not angry and allowed these rumors to spread everywhere.
"Everything you say is true, there is nothing to be angry about."
The queen mother at that time looked at the young man and whispered.
In the end, it was my father who took action to suppress the rumors.
Gongyi Shuo remembered his mother's words, so when he presented beauties to the local government, he chose Shi Ran, a person he liked very much in appearance.
He doesn't have anyone he particularly likes, and there probably won't be anyone in the future.
He doesn't want the person he likes to become the next queen mother.
Noble, but unhappy.
Shi Ran looked at Gong Yishuo and nodded lightly.
"Yes, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, actually remembers my name."
At this time, Chu Quan, the chamberlain who was waiting for Gong Yishuo outside, was already calling in a low voice.
"Your Highness, please get up."
Gongyi Shuo has now begun to go to court.
He usually gets up at this hour, reads a book, practices his sword, and then goes out to go to court at a quarter o'clock.
Hearing Chu Quan's voice, Gongyi Shuo whispered to Shi Ran, "I'm going to get up and go to court. I've already had someone prepare a courtyard for you in the backyard. Just live there in peace. Now, except for you, I have Besides, there are no other female relatives, so you can be as free as you like."
After saying that, he prepared to send Chuquan and his maids to come in and help him wash and change his clothes.
But Shi Ran's words made him stop all his actions.
"Your Highness is so kind to everyone? Even if I am a spy sent by someone else?"
