The eldest prince is the only son of the saint, and the heir of the saint is difficult, and he has to have such a son when he is over forty, and he doesn't want to die young. There were also many difficulties in the administration of the DPRK, and the constraints of various parties made the implementation of the new policy doubly difficult.

Under the action of the two parties, Xiao Ze, who had always been unhealthy, finally fell ill.

The saint has no son, and there is no successor, this is a thing that shakes the foundation of the country, and now the saint is weak, who knows how long he can survive. There is a loyal old minister who can't care about the saint who has just lost his son, and he is sick and weak, so he united with many parties to play, and implored His Majesty to pass on his stepson from the clan and inherit the unification.

The rhetoric is earnest and aggressive.

All of a sudden, the kings of Nanchang and Linhuai, who had never been blue-eyed saints, suddenly became hot.

The two are the sage's brothers, the closest to each other, if the prince of Qin did not hurt his leg, then the successor would not think about others. And now, the saint has no children, the son of the king of Qin has a lame leg, and the successor can only be selected from the two branches of the king of Nanchang and the king of Linhuai.

There are two candidates favored by the courtiers: Xiao Jingxiao, the second son of the king of Linhuai, and Xiao Jingyi, the second son of the king of Nanchang.

The two have their own strengths, and it is quite difficult to choose.

Of course, some people also mentioned that yì chose young children to pass over, but Xiao Ze's health was really not good, and the loyal and honest ministers were worried that he would not be able to wait for the young master to become an adult, and the lord and young country were suspicious, so he was not the best choice.

The eldest prince died young, and before the age of the prelude, he could not enter the jade, but considering that the saint only had this son, he deliberately let the eldest prince enter the jade.

The death of the eldest prince can be described as a great injury to Xiao Ze's vitality. Lying in bed dazed, unconscious, unable to get out of bed for several days.

There was a gloomy cloud inside the palace, but there were people outside the palace who couldn't help but be happy.

In the Linhuai Palace, Princess Linhuai is grooming in the mirror, and a gentle face is reflected in the mirror, with a ruddy complexion and full of energy. The maid next to her complimented, "Princess, you look so good dressed like this, last time I saw you and the princess standing together, where did you look like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, like a sister." ”

"Nonsense, slap mouth." Princess Linhuai frowned, but her tone was not strong.

The maid was clever and continued: "The beaten slave and maid must also tell the truth. ”

"You girl, you are really screwed." Princess Linhuai pursed her lips and smiled, which can be regarded as sparing the maid.

Another maid next to her was unwilling to be preempted by the maid in front of her, opened a small box and said, "The princess should wear these pair of earrings." ”

Princess Linhuai glanced at it and was dissatisfied: "It's too beautiful, Concubine Hui invited me into the palace, and now she has just lost her parent, although the child does not have to keep filial piety, but she also has to take care of her affection." ”

Hearing this, the maid did not give up, but continued to persuade: "Princess, you have forgotten that this pair of ears was given to you by Concubine Hui, and she will definitely be happy if you wear them to see her." ”

Speaking of this, her words turned to a flat tone, and while combing the princess's hair, she chattered: "The princess is a person with great blessings, and Erlangjun is also a person with great nobility. And there are mothers in the palace who are close to us, and they also have a lot of help for Erlangjun. ”

Princess Linhuai's eyes turned on the bronze mirror, and suddenly said, "Then wear one." ”

Concubine Gu Hui invited three princesses and several ladies of the family into the palace, Princess Linhuai was the first to arrive, Concubine Hui's eyes swept in her ears, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

To be honest, she really can't lift her spirits these days, and she is also depressed and angry. It was her mother who entered the palace to persuade her, and she barely cheered up and planned for the future.

The childless concubine has not been canonized as the queen, and after a hundred years of the saint, there will be no place for her in this palace.

King Qin's leg disease has not healed, don't think about it, among the remaining two, Concubine Gu Hui is more optimistic about Xiao Jingxiao, the second son of King Linhuai, this young man is smart and sensible, if it weren't for the reputation of King Qin's son, he would have come out a long time ago.

And Princess Linhuai is also easy to handle, no more scheming than Princess Nanchang.

When everyone arrived, it was a common thing to gossip, and occasionally Concubine Gu Hui occasionally cried and cried for the eldest son of the emperor who died early, and everyone comforted her.

"Look at me, I can't stop talking." Concubine Hui wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and barely cheered up, "Let you see the joke." ”

Princess Linhuai hurriedly continued: "Niangniang is hurt in her heart, it's better to cry, just don't regret it too much, it's too late." I heard that the eldest son of the emperor is a filial person, if he has a spirit in the sky, how sad it should be to see his mother like this. ”

"What Princess Linhuai said is reasonable, don't cry anymore." It was Yao Yun, the granddaughter of Zheng Guogong, who spoke.

Speaking of this, Yao Yun is also interesting, and when he was young, he took a fancy to Xiao Yan, and asked someone at home to say goodbye. Princess Qin didn't like Yao Yun, and it was not easy to refuse too much, after all, Zheng Laoguo was a hero of the founding dynasty and was very respected by the saints. It was also helpless that Princess Qin personally went to ask Xiao Yan to marry Hanyu.

In Princess Qin's opinion, this Korean language is not perfect, but it is better than Yao Yun.

Yao Yun, this girl is well-known for being spicy in Beijing, but in fact, there is nothing spicy, the key is that this person is narrow-minded and vicious. Such a daughter-in-law, Princess Qin would never dare to ask for it.

After Xiao Yan's family affair was decided, Yao Yun still did not give up, and used vicious methods to assassinate the Korean language several times, if it wasn't for Princess Qin's protection, Yao Yun would have succeeded.

This girl has looks, means, and a stubborn heart, and she worked hard until she was 20 years old for Xiao Yan, until Xiao Yan injured her leg on the battlefield.

It's also snobbish to say.

Now, the emperor's eldest son has passed away, and there are signs of succession in the court, and she has begun to focus on Xiao Jingxiao again, and has been obediently currying favor with Princess Linhuai several times, brushing up her favorability.

Princess Linhuai didn't like her much, but she just enjoyed this sense of superiority, especially in front of Princess Qin: Look at it, Mrs. Yao doesn't look down on your son, but now she is desperate to please me.

It's really 20 years in Hedong, 20 years in Hexi, feng shui in turns!

As soon as Yao Yun's voice fell, the other ladies also flattered her, persuading Concubine Gu Hui not to be too sad, but while comforting her, she had to bring a sentence that Princess Linhuai was right.

The flattery is obvious.

Of course, Princess Nanchang will not be left behind, compared with the three princesses, only Princess Qin is slightly behind.

Princess Qin was neither happy nor angry, her expression was calm, and she only drank tea quietly. But even so, others didn't let her go, it was human nature to show off her might, especially if she couldn't compare to her before.

Princess Linhuai took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, as if inadvertently mentioning the conversation: "Sister Princess Qin, I heard that your eldest brother went to the north to seek medical treatment?" ”

In the past, she was called the son of the world, but now that she is proud, the son of the world has become a big man.

"If you want me to say, if there is any famous doctor in the north, you should go to the south, the famous doctor Sai Huatuo is somewhat familiar with our prince. If necessary, let our prince send a letter to Mr. and ask Da Lang to go to the south. Although this leg disease is not good for treatment, it can also alleviate one or two, it is always a noble son, and it is not good to be lame, so he does not have to embarrass the clan. ”

Lose face!

Princess Qin's wrist flicked, and the hot tea in it splashed, falling on the back of her hand, and burning to the tip of her heart: "My son fought for the Great Zhou Dynasty and captured the head of the thief for the Great Zhou Sheng, but I didn't know that he had also disgraced the royal family!" Her voice was sharp and imposing.

Princess Linhuai's face turned white immediately, in fact, she also regretted it a little after saying this, after all, the prince of Qin has a lot of prestige among the people, and the saint also relies on him. But when people get carried away, they are prone to make mistakes. Listening to Princess Qin's questioning, she didn't know how to reply for a while, and her face was pale.

Instead, Yao Yun opened his mouth, and his tone was coquettish: "Princess Qin misunderstood, Princess Linhuai didn't mean that, and you are too sensitive." Although the elder brother of the prince injured his leg, in the hearts of the people of Da Zhou, he is still a big hero. I think he himself also hopes to be able to stand in front of the people normally, Princess Linhuai is kind enough to introduce famous doctors, if you don't accept this kindness, how can you misinterpret her meaning? ”

As soon as her voice fell, the others immediately echoed: "Yes, Princess Linhuai has good intentions, Princess Qin, you misinterpreted her meaning." ”

"No, Princess Linhuai introduced a famous doctor to the prince, I heard that Sai Huatuo is amazing, and he is not worse than the imperial doctor."

"Princess Qin, you are too sensitive, you know that you are anxious and sad for the leg of the prince, but you can't misinterpret others."

"yes."

"Sister Princess Qin." Princess Linhuai spoke, her face was pale, and her eyes flashed with malice, "I also mean well." "I thought I would be blamed for saying the wrong thing, but everyone turned to themselves.

Power is really a good thing, Erlang hasn't decided to succeed yet, and everyone has changed the direction of the wind and rushed to flatter.

"You ......" Princess Qin was so angry that the corners of her mouth trembled, and she clenched her fists suddenly.

Seeing this, Mama Kang, who was kneeling behind her, hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Princess Qin's hand, and whispered, "Princess, princess...... Don't be angry. ”

The prince and the prince are not there, so they can only grieve the princess, the saint is sick, and the queen mother is not in good spirits. That Concubine Gu Hui is obviously biased towards Princess Linhuai, if this matter is big, Concubine Hui only has to say a few words about the princess, and □□ she will have to be charged with disrespecting the royal family.

Now that the DPRK is discussing the successor of the crown prince, the eldest prince has just passed away, so it is really not suitable to make trouble. And if it is really the second son of King Linhuai, with the temperament of Princess Linhuai, if she talks back at this time, she will definitely hate the princess in the future, and often give the princess small shoes to wear.

For today's plan, I can only endure the anger for a while.

Princess Nanchang is also very impatient with Princess Linhuai's rampant energy, and now she hasn't done anything, so she will go crazy first. If you really want your son to take the throne, shouldn't you befriend Princess Qin, who is in military power.

The prince of Qin is obviously not competitive, such a person should have befriended her, but she is good, and she offended people first.

Princess Nanchang wanted to befriend Princess Qin, but she just opened her mouth, but she didn't get over the hurdle in her heart. At the beginning, her Wulang was severely injured by the princess of King Qin, and was kicked out of the clan by the sage and demoted to a concubine.

Although she knew in her heart that it was Concubine Xi's mother and son who provoked in the middle, and it was Gorou's fault, but as a mother, her heart was always biased, and she was more or less angry with others.

Yes, his lips just moved, and he didn't relieve Princess Qin.

Not only Princess Qin is in trouble here, but Father Lin has also encountered obstacles.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was martial, up to the saints, down to the people, playing polo if he had nothing to do, or rolling up his sleeves to do a fight, in short, he was strong and strong.

Father Lin can also ride a horse, but now that the road is slippery and the work time is early, Mother Lin does not allow him to ride a horse, only a carriage. Father Lin has always obeyed his wife's orders, so he didn't argue anything, and obediently rode to the official office.

He is now in charge of a seven-grade ministry in the ministry, his official position is not big, but he also has a small amount of real power, and he is working in full swing.

On this day, as usual, he rode a carriage to work, and just after driving two streets, the carriage suddenly stopped, his body could not control and leaned forward, and he almost fell down.

"What's going on?" He asked the coachman with a frown.

"Lang...... Lang Jun ...... "The coachman trembled with fright," we crashed into the carriage of the Nanchang Palace. ”

Nanchang Palace?

Father Lin wondered that the king of Nanchang had no real power, never went to the court, and did not go to the official office to order Mao, why did he come out so early? It's not dawn yet.

Father Lin didn't think it was a big deal, so he just touched the carriage, but it was the carriage of the palace after all, and he still had to come down and apologize to the prince.

As soon as he climbed out of the carriage, a whip was thrown in his face, and Father Lin couldn't dodge it, hitting him in the cheek.

A wound the size of an index finger slid from the corner of the left eye to the corner of the mouth.

"Bold! Who dares to beat the officials of the imperial court? The little guy was startled and hurriedly came over to help Father Lin.

Xiao Jingxin played with the whip in his hand, looked at Father Lin and sneered: Hmph, you dared to whip me on the street that day, the female debt father will pay for it, and I will beat your father today!

"What's the matter with this horse?" Xiao Jingxin ignored the little girl's questioning, but pointed at his horse with a soft whip, "This is a bloody BMW, my father's pet, who hit it." ”

Father Lin endured the injury on his face and stepped forward to salute: "This is Wulangjun in the Nanchang Palace, the lower official ......"

"Eh-" Xiao Jingxin whipped to stop Father Lin, "Don't say that, thanks to your lady, I am no longer a child of the royal family." ”

Obedient and listening, as soon as he heard this, Father Lin knew that the other party was here to find fault.

"Wulangjun is not strange, the road is slippery in the dark, and it is inevitable to collide when driving, and it is really the fault of the lower officials to scare the prince's pet. It's just that Wangwulang Junnian spared the lower official for a while, and the lower official will prepare a generous gift tomorrow and go to the palace to apologize in person. ”

"Negligence?"

Xiao Jingxin played with the whip, and then his wrist suddenly flicked, and he lashed at Father Lin again: "I was also negligent, I'm sorry, my hand is slippery!" Director Lin is an elder, so he won't be like a junior like me. ”

Father Lin squinted his eyes, there were already blood dripping into the corners of his eyes, he took a deep breath, and said, "When everyone is negligent, Golangjun has no intention, and of course the lower officials will not blame." ”

"Hey, hey." Xiao Jingxin was amused, "You old man is a little interesting, your temper is much better than your spicy daughter." ”

Father Lin's eyelids jumped, and he reminded: "That's the princess of King Qin." ”

As soon as his voice fell, Xiao Jingxin's eyes instantly crossed a touch of ruthlessness, he wanted to slap Father Lin hard, but he was still sensible, and he knew that it was not the time.

Hmph, when his brother becomes the prince, see how he cleans you up, you must be told to survive and not die, and Lin Sanniang, that slut, must whip her dozens of whips, and be ashamed of the day.

Xiao Jingxin turned around and handed the whip to Sui Hu, and his voice was fierce: "Wait here, this is my father's pet, I can't afford to be frightened, wait for someone from the palace to come and check that it is okay before leaving." ”

Father Lin looked up at the sky and said, "Wulangjun, it's too late for the lower officials to order, can you let the lower officials take the first step?" ”

"Want to go?" Xiao Jingxin picked his eyelids, "Hmph, this sweaty BMW is worth more than your life, you can't be sure that it is safe, you are not allowed to go." ”

"Gorou-kun ......"

"Shut up!"
