“Mother Suri Bai,”
The old woman with red hanfu turned her head when her name was called, her serious face immediately turned into a warm smile when she knew that calling was her favorite granddaughter. Without hesitation the queen mother changed her course, whereas she was about to rest in her pavilion after a full day of waiting for Huang Jian Ying and discussing with the emperor about the new tax policy.
The queen mother clasped the crown prince's arm affectionately, “Crown prince, why do you have to come all the way here? Next time I'll come see you.”
“Surid mother don't be so.” replied the crown prince, “Where is my manners if I call the queen to see me. I should have come here.”
“Ming’er, you have always been the best in my heart.”
“What do you want to talk to me about?” ask the queen mother.
“How about we talk inside the pavilion only?” bargain Wang Ming, “I don't want any traitors or spies to hear us.”
“Of course.”
Empress Dowager Bai immediately led the crown prince into the grand queen mother's pavilion, where they would talk about something important and certainly no one should listen. Dayang and the guards inside the house of the queen mother have been ascertained that no one betrayed her because they came from the family of the left. Where the queen mother and crown prince had full support for the throne, Queen Xianyuan unfortunately crossed with them. If this is the case, maybe the one who will ascend the throne to be the queen mother can be replaced. It is easy because this country has been ruled by them, as well as the power in the palace.
The two sat comfortably in the cottage under which there was a colorful fish pond with a beautiful waterfall, accompanied by warm tea and simple snacks, but that was not the purpose of Wang ming came. “Suri's mother, my two sisters have returned, I fear they will be a threat to us.” said the crown prince.
The queen mother put back her potted tea cup, “Crown prince, you are too much.” she replied.
“Mother suri .. “
“They will not be a threat to us.”
The crown prince frowned, “How can the queen mother be so confident saying it? It could have been that they had the support of the queen so together against me.”
“Just now, the emperor actually gave the colony to them, then now the land owned by Wang Ren in this country is much larger than mine. And Wang Jun's wealth is also the same as mine, I can't stay still, granny.”
“They must have bad plans to bring me down!”
The crown prince's palm was clenched tightly, feeling the threat coming from within the palace was certainly not a good thing. Moreover, her relationship with her second sister and third sister since childhood was never good, why was the queen mother and emperor who had always treated her more special than Wang Ren and Wang Jun. “Uhhuk .. uhhukk!” Wang Ming coughed, making the queen mother immediately give him a cup of tea.
“Crown prince, are you okay?”
“Uhhuk ... uhhuk, yes queen mother, uhhuk!”
The crown prince smiled to appease the grandmother, “Last-lately I have been getting sick more and more, probably because I was thinking too much about things.”
“If I had not been born sick with this weak physique, I would have descended into battle and proved that I was worthy of being the next emperor.” said the crown prince with dimmed eyes, “Instead of my fate .. “
“Crown prince don't say that!” the mother of suri. “This country will remain mine, I promise I will help you ascend the throne with all my strength.”
“Thank you suri.”
The queen mother nodded with a warm smile, “Ming’er is a favorite grandson, you are also the eldest son of the emperor so you deserve to be the next emperor.”
“Oh, yes, don't you want to say hello to Miss Huang?”
“Nona Huang?”
“Did you forget that Miss Huang today came to the palace?” ask the queen mother again, “Crown prince, your marriage is only a few days away. One step in order for you to become the next emperor, you must marry and have children as soon as possible. Huang Jian Ying is Huang Han Su's favorite daughter, when she and her father are on our side then we will easily rule the empire and the ministers.”

“Get something good?”
Queen Xianyuan guessed that there had been a good thing when her two sons came to greet the emperor, coming without empty hands would have to bring more. A scroll of their emperor's edict kept each in a safe and best place, witnessed by many people hence the edict was official.
Wang Ren and Wang Jun returned to the mother's pavilion to meet her and talk about the good news, a smile rising very handsomely on the third prince's face. “Of course mom, we managed to get the emperor's word. Even the territories that we managed to conquer have become our own.”
“Really?”
“Of course.” replied Wang Ren.
“This is very good, you managed to prove to the emperor that you are the best.” said Queen Xianyuan, “Congratulations to you, mother is very proud of you. Honey, you can't give one gift to mom yet .. “
Seeing the look on Queen Xianyuan's face dimmed making the two princes look at each other and confused, “What does mother mean? What do you want, just say it and I will give it.” said the second prince, Wang Ren.
“Mother wants gold? A gem? Diamonds and precious stones?” connect Wang Jun, “Or do you want power over Baojing mine? I'll give you.”
Queen Xianyuan let out a long sigh, “Not that .. “
“Then what, mom?”
“Goods.”
The two princes fell silent, pretending to be busy with their own world. Wang Ren took a sip of tea and Wang Jun ate a warm snack, as if deaf to the mother's reply. “You are always like this, just listen to your mother this time, look for a good woman from among the nobility, if possible she is a confident and tough woman, who is a woman, have good support so we can fight together.”
“Mother, stop.” pinta Wang Jun, “I still want to wander and get many new abilities, also new territory. I haven't thought about women, this country alone is too complicated to think about.”
“I heard the tax policy was raised again, people in the border region complained about it.” Wang Ren said changing the topic.
“That's why, you guys have to take power.”
“Mother?”
“Mother!”
Wang Ren and Wang Jun looked at the mother with an unreadable gaze, Queen Xianyuan had just stated plainly and clearly that she was against the crown prince, she said, if anyone hears, the queen can be branded as a traitor and beheaded.
They don't want anything to happen to the queen.
Wang Jun shook his head, “I am not interested in power, if indeed one of us should become emperor, then I will support big brother only. I want to live comfortably as a priest someday, devoting myself to temples and the gods.”
“I'm not interested in government.” replied Wang Ren.
“This makes you dizzy, already do not talk about this first. The palace has a thousand eyes and a thousand ears, we will talk about this later.”
“What's clear, at the crown prince's wedding later, I'll choose you noble ladies to marry.”
“Ibuuu ... no need!!” push Wang Jun.
Wang Ren commented on a trivial smile, “As far as mom! I am King Xuan who is notoriously cruel and bloodthirsty, where there is a noble daughter who wants to marry me.”
