Zhao Mo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were in a trance, he paused, and then said, "I won't hide it from you." No one had mentioned it before, but this trip back to Beijing...... I've been to the palace a lot of times, and it's not that no one has mentioned this kind of thing in my ear. Some people are trying to curry favor with me, and some people are ...... It came with malice. I didn't hear it, but His Royal Highness the Prince never mentioned a word to me. ”

Qin Bai looked at him: "In this way, you know. Don't you have any ideas?"

Zhao Mo smiled bitterly: "What can I think? I can only say that it is because there are too many people in the clan who want to be the crown prince, which will cause such rumors." Those people wanted to succeed the royal family and become the emperor's son, but now they have changed the idea of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and want to pass the child to the prince as a son. In fact, people who come and go are not all old-fashioned? Who wants to disown their parents and become someone else's son, and they dream of themselves, what does it have to do with me? I would never do such a stupid thing. Isn't it too stupid for me to plunge into this pit because so many people have suffered because of their delusional desire to be the crown prince, and even my current glory, wealth, and sainthood are also because of dealing with these people?"

Qin Bai said: "Those people are repaid because they have delusions, Xiao thinks about things that don't belong to them, and they do things that violate the laws of the court for delusions." But you are a good boy, you have never had the idea that you shouldn't have, and now it is also because the prince appreciates you, likes you, and has the heart to succeed you as an heir, once the emperor decrees, no one can compete with you, you will become a righteous grandson, and you don't need to use any means to fight. So...... Don't you still want to?"

Zhao Mo frowned when he heard this: "Why did my uncle and grandfather ask me like this? Could it be ...... Have you listened to what the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said?"

Qin Bai didn't answer his words, but repeated the previous question: "Don't care why I ask like this, just say whether you are willing to enter the palace and be the royal heir." ”

Zhao Mo pursed his lips and said solemnly: "If the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince ask me, I will naturally be unwilling." Everyone knows where I came from, and what my biological father did, and some people know. Even if he participated in the rebellion of King Ninghua, there are many insiders. With such a father, my identity is not suitable for entering the step-palace at all. If you do it reluctantly, it will definitely cause criticism. My father would inevitably be delusional and try to profit from it, and my situation would become even more embarrassing. If the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince really decide to pass on the heirs of the family of the heir, they should also choose a child from an innocent background, preferably younger, and easy to raise in the future. ”

Qin Bai was surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Mo to say this: "Are you worried because of what Ling Zun did in the past?"

Zhao Mo said: "Even if my father didn't collude with King Ninghua, I wouldn't want to." I have my own parents, why should I recognize others as my father? My father abandoned his wife and children in order to be someone else's son, which caused my mother to die young. This is the most disgusting thing in my life, how could I choose his old path? besides, my father has long since turned his back on my mother, and he has forgotten his oath to her. And my grandfather's house...... I don't think much of my mother. If it weren't for the fact that I had gained power now, and they would not have been able to climb other backers, my grandfather and second uncle would never have been so affectionate to me now. I don't trust anyone except my aunt and cousin. If I had become someone else's son, I would have been able to draw a line with my father and never be related again, but in the same way, I would no longer be my mother's son. And who will remember my mother, and who will remember her four-hour sacrifice?"

Qin Bai sighed when he heard this: "You are a good boy, you are not moved by fame, fortune and power, and you still remember the word filial piety in your heart, this party is a real filial son." Well, since you have this heart, I will make your wish clear to the emperor. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to you, and no matter what others say, his mind is not so easy to change. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also appreciates you, and when you see him in the future, you must remain respectful, and explain your inner thoughts that you are not allowed to speak falsely and be rude. ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "Uncle and grandfather, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good to me, I can only be grateful to him, how can I be rude?" and then he said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may look at me a little differently, but he may not be too persistent in succeeding me." The emperor has always hoped that he can have his own heirs, and those who try to pass on their sons to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are particularly unpleasant. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been filial to the emperor, and he will not disobey the emperor's will. Besides, I myself have no will, and the prince will not be stubborn. ”

Qin Bai was noncommittal about this, and only sighed: "You made this decision today, don't regret it in the future." Actually......" he paused, "Although the emperor has always refused to give up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very open." He may continue to try to have another son, but he will not be obsessed. If there is really a delay in having children, the succession will be inevitable. It's hard to say what kind of candidate to pick at that time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always felt that he is not in good health, and hopes to have a smart and capable child, preferably older, not young and ignorant, so that he can take over government affairs as soon as possible. Although it is easier to raise children from a young age, young age also means that there are many variables. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been a person who likes to be safe. When that day comes, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really can't find a suitable candidate, he still values you, and you don't have to be too stubborn. The country and the society are important, and the next things can be solved by ideas, you can't worry about you, and you can't let go of your biological mother, so you just sit back and watch the world be unstable and cause trouble, right?"

Zhao Mo looked at Qin Bai in surprise: "Uncle and grandpa, you are ......"

Qin Bai smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just telling you in vain, things may not be as I say." Maybe it won't take a few years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will add one or two little grandchildren, and then naturally someone will mention anything that can't be followed. You respect the emperor and the crown prince wholeheartedly, have no intention of saving the position, and do things solidly, which is very good. The royal family is in need of a clan like you who is willing to put your head down and work hard. The emperor knows your intentions and will not be angry with you because of what your father has done. ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "Yes." Uncle and grandfather rest assured that Guanglu knows what he should do. ”

Qin Bai was sure in his heart, and he felt that his previous concerns might not need to be mentioned again. In fact, Qin Bai also heard some discussions, and felt that if Zhao Mo really wanted to succeed the royal family, his background was congenitally insufficient, his father and ancestors could not be relied on, his mother's family was weak, and he could not get the help of his relatives in his birth, and he would become the royal heir in the future, and his status would be unstable, and he needed to marry a powerful Yue family, and marry a daughter of a high-ranking family with a prominent background and real power from his father and brother in order to stabilize his own power. Just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sick and weak, the emperor chose the daughter of the Tang family, a famous family with great prestige in Shilin officialdom, as his concubine in order to stabilize his position and be able to hold the power of the court in the future. In order to allow the Tang family to be the backing of the prince with peace of mind, the royal family even handed over the selection of the side concubine to the Tang family at that time, in order to ensure the stability of the prince's backyard. And this decision now seems to be quite effective, the crown princess and the prince Liangdi's wife and concubine are harmonious, and they have been in peace for many years, and they have never caused trouble to His Royal Highness the prince.

Out of this concern, Qin Bai thought that he needed to ask Zhao Mo's mind again. If Zhao Mo was the slightest bit tempted by the position of royal heir, he couldn't easily agree to Xu Qin. Qin Han is really the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Yongjia, she is tall enough, and she is a childhood sweetheart with Zhao Mo, and her family background is enough to match Zhao Mo, but her background cannot bring power to Zhao Mo. Right now, with the love of the two childhood sweethearts, Zhao Mo will not have any complaints. But if he is a young man with great ambitions, sooner or later he will find out how much good it will be for him to have a good family affair. In case he complains about Qin Hanzhen at that time, Qin Hanzhen will suffer. Qin Bai was thinking about his granddaughter wholeheartedly, and he couldn't bear to see her suffer like this, so he was extra cautious now.

Fortunately, Zhao Mo did not disappoint him. Qin Bai is now very satisfied with Zhao Mo, thinking that his granddaughter is not too young, and it is time to put the matter of marriage on the agenda.

He said to Zhao Mo: "You don't have to be too anxious about the house. If you fancy any property by the Shicha Sea, it doesn't hurt to buy it and do individual business. Serious palace mansion, it is better to wait for the emperor's decree and order the internal affairs office to supervise the construction. And you need not worry that if you say that you have exchanged merit for the grace of marriage, you will not be able to ask for a house again. The emperor is not so stingy. Now that the clan is weak, the emperor is intending to promote the young and talented children in the clan to be an arm for His Royal Highness the Prince. You have done a lot of things for the emperor, and you have also made some contributions, and you will be rewarded with a happy holy will. If the will to give marriage comes down, it is very likely that the emperor will have another favor. When there is no new palace, it is not too late for you to consider buying your own house. ”

Zhao Mo was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Yes, uncle and grandfather, I know." "I quickly began to think about it. If this is the case, then he wants to buy a property in the Shichahai area now, and it is enough to find a small house, which is almost the same, of course, the most important thing is to have a garden, and to do other businesses in the future, just so that he can occasionally live in the past to relax.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mo hurriedly made a request to Qin Bai again: "Uncle and grandfather, when I pick a house, you will come to give me a palm eye with your uncle and grandmother and third cousin? ”

Qin Bai glanced at him, and handed over the brush dipped in ink in his hand: "These little things, you juniors can discuss them by yourself, and always ask us what to do as husband and wife? Have you been practicing calligraphy at home these days? Come, write a few words for me to see, have you ever been lazy these days?"

Zhao Mo blinked, laughed a few times, honestly took the brush, and wrote the big characters seriously.
