Chapter 400: Transformation
The crown princess Tang turned her head to look at Mama Cen in surprise, and her expression sank: "Do you know what you're talking about?!"
Mama Cen shrank back, but looking at the crown princess, thinking about the future of the crown princess and the county lord of Minshun, and thinking about the words that the palace people around her talked about in private on weekdays, she still gritted her teeth and insisted: "The slave knows that she has overpassed, but she ...... If no one comes to persuade Niangniang, Niangniang is afraid that she will only obey the arrangements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and will not think about anything for herself! Niangniang is not wrong to do this, but the king of Suning County is unwilling to succeed, and has already hinted more than once that the twisted melon is not sweet, and if it continues like this, things will only remain there! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and the emperor is in charge, so naturally there is no need to worry. Maybe there will be a newcomer in the East Palace in the future, and this newcomer can give birth to a grandson, but the mother is ...... !"
Mama Cen slowly knelt down in front of the crown princess Tang, raised her head, and her eyes were full of tears: "The slave and maid dare to say something forbidden here, can the newly-born emperor and grandson be willing to respect the mother? Will he sincerely protect the county lord? He has his own biological mother to be filial, and he has his own siblings to take care of, how much sincerity can he put on the mother and the county lord? Even if the mother brings the little emperor and grandson over and raised him since he was a child, his biological mother is always still there, and sooner or later he will instigate the little emperor and grandson to leave his heart! If he goes to his mother and keeps his son...... Mama Cen paused, and saw that the crown princess frowned, her face was full of disapproval, she sighed secretly in her heart, and continued, "If you go to the mother and keep the son, let the little emperor and grandson know in the future, and Yang En will become a mortal enemy, which will only be worse, I am afraid that even the county lord and the Tang family may be retaliated against, so it is not advisable." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only knows that it is his own flesh and blood, but how can he know that this flesh and blood is not the same as his own flesh and blood?"
The crown princess Tang pursed her lips and reprimanded in a low voice: "Shut up! Don't rely on me to trust you, and forget your sense of proportion when you speak! If such words reach the ears of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness will deal with you in anger, and I won't have the face to intercede for you!"
Mama Cen said with tears in her eyes: "The slave knows that the princess is still partial to the slave, so the slave and the maid will boldly say these words in front of the mother." Although the daughter of the Chen family failed to enter the palace, it was also because she was from the Chen family, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not want to see her. Even if His Royal Highness refuses, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will make arrangements. If the mother drags it out any longer, how can you stop the queen mother and the emperor from entering the new people in the East Palace? You will definitely not stop you, you will not even have a word of complaint, and you will pick a few more beautiful women who are all talented, have a good family background, and are in good health, and arrange things properly, no matter who will only praise you. But those compliments are all false, there are new people in the East Palace, and it is no longer just you and Chen Liangdi, His Royal Highness the Prince's favor has been divided by others, and anything can happen! Why does the princess of the King of Shu ask you to shelter her children today? Chen Liangdi has no children and no daughters, but you have the lord of the county, so you can't help but take precautions early!"
The crown princess Tang gritted her teeth, but this time she didn't reprimand her again.
Mama Cen said again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still thinking about succeeding the king of Suning County. The king of Suning County is indeed very good, but he is not the flesh and blood of his mother after all, and he is about to marry a wife again. At such an age, no matter how well you get along, you can't get close. Even his unmarried wife is not a relative of his mother, so why should his mother pinch him in the future? What's more, he himself is unwilling to pass on, and he still thinks about his biological parents. Even if the prince of Liao was mean to him in the past, once he was told to do something, he still didn't do it obediently? Zhao Jie, the son of the former king of the Jin Dynasty, had long been a broken household that everyone disliked, and he was suspected of rebellion, and he also had disrespect for His Royal Highness the Prince, but the king of Suning still helped his father and daughter reunite because of his father's orders. Isn't he worried that His Highness will be angry?! It can be seen that in his heart, it is still the weight of his biological father. Now people outside praise him for his filial piety, but he is filial to his biological father, once he is really passed on to His Royal Highness in the future, who will be the filial one?"
Crown Princess Tang took a deep breath before she said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, Guanglu...... is a measured child, and he knows how to be grateful in his heart. The reunion of Zhao Jie's father and daughter is just a trivial matter. His Highness didn't take it to heart. If it really will hinder His Highness, Guanglu will not do it. β
Mama Cen lowered her head: "What Niangniang said is true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values the king of Suning so much, and the character of the king of the county is naturally trustworthy." It's just that the king of the county can be a loyal minister, but he may not be a suitable candidate for the future prince. He will act according to etiquette in everything, but if he wants him to be really close to his mother and the county lord, and sincerely protect the county lord, I am afraid it will not work. Such a candidate was not bad, but he himself was not willing to succeed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally could not force it. Rather than waiting until things are difficult to solve in the future, it is better for Niangniang to prepare early? You only need to choose young and intelligent boys from the clan and raise them by your side, and with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Niangniang's father to teach, are you afraid that you will not be able to teach a virtuous imperial grandson? He is both smart and capable, and he is close to Niangniang and the county lord, which is much more reliable than the king of Suning!"
The crown princess pursed her lips: "Did you listen to the words of the princess of the king of Shu to have this idea?" Could it be that you said it...... Is it the grandson of the King of Shu?"
Mama Cen hurriedly said: "How dare the slave and maid have such thoughts? No matter how good the grandson of the King of Shu is, he is the queen of sinners after all." There are many school-age children in the clan, and if the mother waits and sees for a year or two, maybe there will be more candidates? For example, the Qin Wangfu has always had a flourishing family, the children of the Lu Wangfu are easy to read and learned, and the Xiuning Wangfu has a good tutor and has a wide range of friends...... The children of any family are good, and the mother pays close attention to it, and she can always pick one. If you really can't make up your mind, first pick out a few suitable candidates and look at the ...... for two years."
The crown princess interrupted her: "Impossible. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not allow it. "At the beginning, the prince would take a fancy to Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, although Zhao Mo himself was better and liked by the prince, but on the other hand, he was a man who was almost an adult, steady and talented, which was also an important reason.
The crown prince has little confidence in his body, and is always afraid that after the emperor goes up, he will succeed to the throne and may not be able to last for many years. The country depends on the monarch, and the successor is older, talented, and capable, which is more beneficial to the country, and also avoids the dilemma of the lord and the country. Now that the crown prince has taken Zhao Mo with him for more than a year, he has taught him a lot of government affairs and made him familiar with the affairs of the DPRK and China, which is already paving the way for him, how can he be easily replaced? Choosing young children from the clan is certainly conducive to raising mature children, but when the children grow up and can help take care of the government affairs, it will be at least ten years later. Whether the crown prince will be able to survive until that time is still unknown.
Again...... Pick children from those prosperous clans and palaces, and when the children grow up, do you know that their parents and family will not come to recognize each other? Zhao Mo is not close to his biological father, and he is even more alienated from his grandfather, and he is willing to sacrifice the interests of his father and ancestors for the sake of the emperor and the crown prince. The grandson of the king of Shu is not clear at the moment, but if the prince of Shu really marries the daughter of the Chen family in the future, he will leave the original pair of children behind, maybe he will really raise a second Zhao Mo. Both of these children are estranged from their Bunsen relatives, and if not, who can rest assured that they will succeed either of them?
Mama Cen was stunned for a moment, only to realize that she was thinking too simply, and things were more complicated than she expected. Her eyes were red: "What can I do about this? In the capital clan, is there no longer a suitable child? Niang Niang wants a more intimate heir, why is it so difficult?!"
The crown princess sighed, and also felt a little depressed. In fact, if there is really a more suitable object than Zhao Mo, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not object, how can she and the Crown Prince force a reluctant Zhao Mo to be their heir?
The crown princess didn't notice that she had actually changed her attitude and began to consider the possibility of succeeding another family as the heir.
There was a faint sound of talking outside the room, with a girl's silver bell-like laughter, and the crown princess Tang knew when she heard it that this was her daughter Minshun County Lord, who must have come to meet her and go to the family banquet of the Qianqing Palace.
The crown princess hurriedly cleaned up her mood, returned to a dignified lady, and whispered to Mama Cen: "Don't leak a word of what I just said to you to a third person, no matter who it is!"
Mama Cen wiped her tears and got up from the ground: "Don't worry, the slave understands." β
Zhao Mo didn't know that there had been such a conversation between the crown princess and Mama Cen, which also involved herself. After he attended the New Year's court, he specially talked with the elders in the clan, inquired about some things, and then left the palace with the big flow.
In fact, the crown prince originally wanted to leave Zhao Mo to attend the royal family banquet, but Zhao Mo inquired about others, knowing that other clans had not been invited, and even the concubines, concubines, and low-grade concubines in the palace did not participate, so he felt that the hint of this matter was too strong, and he used the excuse that he was going to see his father and worship his dead mother in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and got out. In fact, after he left the palace, he only went to Zhao Shuo's house and went home. After worshipping the Wen family, he saw that the meal was almost there, so he went around the back door to the Yongjiahou Mansion, and had dinner with the three rooms of the Qin family, and even his own family was exempted.
Niu knew that he had been running outside for a day today, and he was cold and hungry, and his heart was so distressed that he didn't wait for the banquet to start, so he ordered someone to serve him hot soup to warm his body. Zhao Mowo finished drinking soup in the Xinuan Pavilion in the upper room of the main courtyard, and then pulled his fiancΓ©e Qin Hanzhen, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the Xinuan Pavilion, and told her the suspicious things he encountered today.
Qin Hanzhen said: "My grandmother also heard about it in Cining Palace, and many of the ladies of the clan are talking about it in private, and some of the edicts of the noble family have also heard about it, but most of them don't know about it. My grandmother said that the Cai family, the Min family, the Ma family, and the Yao family all heard of it for the first time today. The Huang family faintly heard a little rumor, but the third old lady of the Huang family said in private, but the prince of Shu and the daughter of the Chen family met twice, and there was a little ambiguity, it was not a big deal, and I don't know why it suddenly spread. β
Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "In this way, it's not because of my lack of information?
Qin Han really thought for a while: "There are several families in the sect who know about it, and the others ...... It seems that only people who have a marriage to the royal family or the clan know about it. The foreign ministers have never heard of it, and most of the royal relatives and relatives of our family, who are not so broad, are kept in the dark. β
Zhao Mo touched his chin: "That's weird...... Who is spreading this gossip all the time? The fact that so many people have known about it in a short period of time does not seem to be a normal rumor, but more like someone deliberately doing it. β
