Chapter 712: Ulterior motives
"What? She took the initiative to ask, how could it be, Yan Ruolan hated and was jealous of that child, she would be so generous to recognize that child in her name and let him occupy the position of her eldest son, even if she was willing, Yan Guogong would not be willing, not to mention, Yan Ruolan had never been so kind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Yan Ruojiu can't believe it.
"Huh...... It is indeed an impure purpose to be able to choose to recognize Luo Nian under his name, after all, Luo Nian is the eldest son of the emperor, and the emperor tried his best to bring him into the palace, Concubine Xian just saw the pros and cons of the matter, she really didn't have such a good heart. Jiang Zhengxi also knew that Yan Ruolan's move must have a hidden purpose.
"Hmph, you mean she wants to take advantage of this?" Yan Ruojiu sat up.
"That's one thing, but it's probably her main purpose.
What do you think, this kind of thing, when the husband and wife and mother and son should be of the same mind, the queen and the queen mother strongly oppose it, but the virtuous concubine can understand the righteousness and solve problems for the emperor.
This seems to be Concubine Xian's self-grievance, but in fact, the interests here are greater, Concubine Xian's move is a bit unexpected to me, in order to endure humiliation and burden, in exchange for greater grace and power, I didn't expect her to become the most hated appearance at the beginning. Jiang Zhengxi couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really beyond my expectations, I thought she would be completely disappointed in the emperor because of this, hmph, I really didn't expect this one......" Yan Ruojiu also sighed.
"Who's to say it's not......" Jiang Zhengxi inevitably sighed.
"That's it?" Yan Ruojiu asked again.
"Of course, isn't this what the emperor has been looking forward to, huh...... I guess it's only been a few days......" Jiang Zhengxi said.
"That'...... What about Luo Li? After all, she is the child's biological mother, and she raised the child alone, can she break it if she says it? Yan Ruojiu frowned.
"The emperor's meaning is to break it cleanly, after all, Luo Li's identity is really inappropriate." Jiang Zhengxi said.
"Hmph, the emperor is scumbag enough, at the beginning, Luo Li committed himself to the former prince for him, and endured humiliation, but now he is wantonly bullying for the sake of the so-called humble identity, not only to take away her child, but also to break all her illusions, ruthless enough, the emperor is really hateful enough!" In Yan Ruojiu's heart, he can't talk about how much sympathy he has for Luo Li, but he really can't look down on the emperor's unkindness and ingratitude.
"I agree with this, although the emperor is for the so-called overall situation of the court, but for a woman who has given everything for himself, he is indeed ruthless." Jiang Zhengxi also disagreed.
"Hey...... It's really ruthless, it's always the emperor's family......" Yan Ruojiu sighed.
"Well, by now, I can understand why Zi Ran is unwilling to be the emperor when he is killed, it is true that this emperor is really not human, Zi Ran's leisurely life now I don't know how much better than the emperor." Jiang Zhengxi shrugged.
"That's ......," Yan Ruojiu said with some rejoicing......
At this time, in the palace of the Queen Mother, the Queen was sitting with her.
"Hmph, this virtuous concubine is becoming more and more capable, in order to please the emperor and gain more favor, she did not hesitate to violate the ancestral system, openly flattered the emperor, and connived at the emperor's mistakes again and again, it is really hateful!" The Queen Mother was very angry.
"Hey...... She has always relied on the emperor's favor without fear, this time, she knew that it was wrong, but in order to consolidate her position, she turned a deaf ear to the words of the queen mother and her concubines, which was indeed a little arrogant. The queen added fuel and vinegar.
"Hmph, this palace expected that the emperor would not be so confused, but now after thinking about it, I realized that this matter was premeditated by the concubine, and it is really our good concubine!" The Queen Mother snorted coldly.
"Hey...... The matter has come to this point, the emperor has already drawn up a decree, and now it is useless to be loyal and rebellious, so what should I do about this matter? Could it be that it is possible to watch the Yan family's treacherous plan succeed? The queen said very uncomfortably.
"Hmph, if you want to use this to curry favor with the emperor and compete for favor and power, this palace wants to see if she has this fate!" The Queen Mother hates Luo Nian, and even hates Yan Ruolan, who flatters the emperor everywhere.
A few days later, the emperor issued a holy decree to officially succeed Luo Nian to Yan Ruolan's name, changed his name to Jiang Nianzhi, and gave Yan Ruolan the position of the concubine who had been reverie since the new emperor's accession to the throne.
The front and back harems were in an uproar, curious, envious, and disdainful.
But Yan Ruolan didn't care at all, after all, this chess piece was a right bet, she is now a concubine, except for the emperor, queen, and queen mother in this palace, she is the biggest.
Luo Nian, or Jiang Nianzhi, is already eleven or twelve, and it stands to reason that he is going to live alone, but in order to please the emperor, Yan Ruolan insisted on moving him to her palace on the grounds that the child had just entered the palace and was not familiar with the rules and regulations in the palace.
This move moved the emperor a lot, and his favor was naturally doubled, and for a while, Yan Ruolan seemed to have returned to the days when the six palaces were colorless, and thousands of favors were gathered in one single favor, and the scenery was infinite.
But...... Things also don't go as planned.
Although Yan Ruolan takes good care of Luo Nian (Jiang Nianzhi), it can even be said that she is cautious and cares at first, but because she misses her own mother and is not adapted to life in the palace, Luo Nian has always been depressed, and Yan Ruolan has tried various methods to alleviate it.
Then there is Yan Ruolan's own daughter Jiang Luanzhi, who is very unhappy with this brother who suddenly appeared.
This is understandable, it turns out that Jiang Luanzhi has always been favored by his mother alone, and now that he has an extra brother for no reason, he has shared most of her favor at once, and the child's heart will be somewhat uncomfortable.
Yan Ruolan noticed her daughter's unhappiness, but in order to take care of the overall situation, she could only simply appease, and she didn't dare to slack off on Luo Nian's care.
It's a pity that Luo Nian's temperament is becoming more and more withdrawn, the gossip in the palace is one after another, and there are no children of the same age in the palace, he almost always stays in the dormitory, and he doesn't want to go anywhere.
Until...... Once, just in time for the Queen Mother's birthday, Yan Ruojiu took her son Jiang Chaoxuan into the palace to celebrate her birthday, and the two children who were not much different in age went together.
Luo Nian is introverted and has always been silent in the face of unfamiliar people, but Jiang Chaoxuan's extroverted, uninhibited, and naughty and active personality deeply attracted Luo Nian, and he couldn't help but want to talk to Jiang Chaoxuan, as if, close to him, he could laugh happily.
Jiang Chaoxuan knew Luo Nian and knew his identity, but he didn't care, and the two children quietly slipped out of the banquet and went to a courtyard.
"Hey...... You wait for me......" Luo Nian's physical strength was not as good as Jiang Chaoxuan's, and he didn't run long before he was a little out of breath and pouted.
"Oops...... Hurry up, or your minions will come after you. Jiang Chaoxuan looked back at Luo Nian panting, so he pulled him and continued to run forward without saying a word.
Finally, probably after making sure that no one was following, Jiang Chaoxuan stopped and pulled Luo Nian to sit on a grassy place.
"You ......" Luo Nian frowned slightly.
"Sit, what are you doing in a daze?" Jiang Chaoxuan pulled Luo Nian over and said.
"Hey......" Luo Nian landed on the ground.
"Whew...... They shouldn't be able to find us......" Jiang Chaoxuan looked at the pitch black beyond the lawn with a smug expression.
Luo Nian, on the other hand, looked at the very unfamiliar environment around him and was a little nervous.
"Hey, look, the stars are so beautiful tonight......" Jiang Chaoxuan said casually lying on the lawn and enjoying it.
"Hmm...... Yes%" Luo Nian, who was still a little nervous, looked at the brilliant starry sky, and his heart suddenly settled down.
Both of them lay on the lawn and looked at the starry sky for a long time.
"Huh...... I miss this place so much......" Jiang Chaoxuan sighed a little embarrassed after a long time.
"Missed here? Why? For Luo Nian, the palace wall cut off his connection with his mother, and cut off all his happiness, and he was puzzled by Jiang Chaoxuan's words.
"Because, when I was young, Grandpa Huang often took me here to look at the stars, and he said that this is the quietest place, and it is a good place to watch the stars, ...... So as soon as I get here, I miss the emperor's grandfather a little......" Jiang Chaoxuan said with some melancholy.
"Imperial grandfather ......" Although Luo Nian is the rightful grandson of the first emperor, he has no impression of this imperial grandfather, after all, he didn't know anything at the beginning, even his emperor father He only slowly understood later, not to mention the imperial grandfather who has passed away for many years.
"Yes, it's also your imperial grandfather...... Jiang Chaoxuan sighed.
"But...... I, I haven't seen him......" Luo Nian looked at Jiang Chaoxuan's happy face, full of yearning for the imperial grandfather who had no chance to meet.
"Oh...... Yes, before you entered the palace, the imperial grandfather had already gone, and you really hadn't seen him, hey, by the way, you...... Are you still used to living in the palace? Jiang Chaoxuan suddenly raised his head and asked.
