News of the capital soon reached Deqing. Chen Yuanheng returned home with a gloomy face. The Bai family is still thinking about Chen Wenjun, and Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenlin are persuading. As soon as he saw Chen Yuanheng coming back, he looked different from usual and had a gloomy face, and he knew that something was wrong.

Bai Shi hurriedly asked what happened? Chen Yuanheng did not wear an official uniform, he was dressed in a homely manner, Chen Wenhui guessed that he came out of the study, so it was not a matter in the yamen, it should be a matter in the capital, so he asked: "Father, but is there something wrong in the capital?" ”

Chen Yuanheng was a little surprised: "Hui'er is very smart, how did you guess?" ”

Chen Wenlin thought that his sister was saying it, but he knew that he had guessed correctly. I can't help but think of what my eldest brother often told him that my sister's intelligence is incomparable to none of them.

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled: "Because if it is a matter in Deqing Mansion, my father must have gone home directly from the Yamen, and he should be wearing an official uniform. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled: "I really guessed it right for you, I just came from the study." Originally, I was handling official business in the Yamen, and Chen Cai came to report that the capital had come to speed up the secret letter. I hurriedly went to the study. The official uniform is still in the study. Madame will send someone to retrieve it later. ”

Bai Shi hurriedly agreed.

After such a break, Chen Yuanheng's mood relaxed a little, and he said: "It was the people around your aunt in the capital who came to the secret letter, saying that the little prince born to Concubine Qian, whom they had been taking care of, died a few days ago. ”

Bai Shi was not surprised at all, and said: "In the palace, there are too many such things, and it is strange not to die young." In fact, it's not just the palace, which mansion doesn't have many such things? ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and continued: "Originally, although our noble concubine Niangniang had a high position. won the emperor's trust, but she had a fatal flaw, that is, she did not have a prince. You must know that the ministers of the court and the central government are all shrewd. Now the emperor is better to our Chen family than to the Wang family. is very favored to the concubine Niangniang, and to the queen and queen has been imprisoned. But. In the future, once the emperor has an accident and the new emperor ascends the throne, it will be the prince of the Wang family, so don't you settle the account after the autumn? I'm afraid that the more favored I am now, the more unlucky I will be in the future. ”

Chen Wenhui thinks about it, this is a son of heaven and a courtier.

Chen Yuanheng continued: "But the concubine has already planned. first saved the lives of Concubine Qian's mother and son, subdued Concubine Qian, and then wrote to me to make friends with Concubine Qian's father. Her father was one of our people. In this way, we will hold the money in the palm of our hands. In the future, when the prince of Qian Concubine is older, he will recognize the concubine as his mother, so that the concubine will be equal to having a son, and our Chen family will have a chance. Then bring down the queen, bring down the prince, and then help the little prince to be the prince, so that the new emperor is our Chen family. So, since Concubine Qian gave birth to the prince. Our Chen family has been taken refuge by many courtiers, and it was very popular for a while. Even with me, things have been doing a lot more smoothly recently, and there are no constraints. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yuanheng sighed: "But, now the little prince has died." The good situation was ruined all at once. There are also people in the capital who are panicking. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, and she didn't know what to do about this kind of thing, after all, she was a white-collar worker in her previous life, so she could engage in economics and management, but she was not good at palace fighting and house fighting. Actually, there were a lot of office wars in the previous life, but that Cheng dù and Gong Dou were far behind.

Chen Wenhui's palace fighting experience is limited to traveling through novels and TV series. Speaking of TV series, Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered that the most popular palace fighting drama before the crossing was a classic TV series, and Chen Wenhui enthusiastically watched it several times.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered a plot in it, and asked, "Father, how many princes does the emperor have now?" ”

Chen Yuanheng didn't understand why his daughter asked this, so he said: "There are not many heirs of the emperor's majesty, it may have something to do with too many struggles in the harem, and there are only five princes in total." These are all existing princes, and I don't know how many died young, and they are not recorded in the ranking. The existing eldest prince is the current crown prince, who is born of the queen's mother, and is the concubine of the main palace. He was made a prince since he was a child, but the emperor didn't like it. ”

At this time, Chen Wenhui muttered in a low voice: "The more noble the emperor, the more he will not like it." ”

Chen Yuanheng was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. glanced at his daughter, and continued: "The second prince is from a low background, has no talent, and has never been liked by the emperor. ”

Chen Wenhui said at this time: "Hmph, this is stupid, I gave up on myself, I thought that I had no chance if I was born low, this kind of self-abandonment, it is strange that the emperor can like it." ”

Chen Yuanheng paused for a moment, thought that this was indeed the case, and then said: "The three princes and mothers are in general, and the Wan family is just from an ordinary family, but in the past, he was the most favored by the emperor, and he was also named a concubine. Wan's brother was also very much used by the emperor, and once tied with the Wang family. But then it didn't work, and was defeated by the Wang family all at once, and the Wan family was later rejected by the emperor and demoted from the title of concubine to Zhaoyi. But the third prince has been a smart guest since he was a child, the most favored by the emperor, invited the great Confucian to teach, and also made the king and built a mansion. It is hot in the capital. The three princes are really competitive, the emperor allows the crown prince and the three princes to participate in politics, the prince is mediocre, but the three princes have won the title of virtuous king. ”

Chen Yuanheng said that he looked at his daughter here, thinking that this prince is so good, what else do you have to say? Chen Wenhui pouted and said, "This is not good." There was a chance, because he was not from a wealthy family, and he did not give up on himself, so he had the best chance. The emperor raised the Wan family, not only to pamper Wan Guifei, but also to use the Wan family to attack the Wang family, but ah, how can such a small family be compared with a behemoth like the Wang family, it is naturally defeated. The emperor saw that it was useless to use a small family to fight a big family, so he remembered our Chen family. Our Chen family is good, it is a big family, but the best thing is that my aunt does not have a prince, how good is this, this is specially for the emperor to be a gunman. ”

Chen Yuanheng's eyes widened. Chen Wenhui continued: "The third prince has done one thing wrong, and he should not be this virtuous king. Is the title of King Xian a good thing? Ah, you are famous, that means your father is a faint king? This will not work with any emperor. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Wenhui remembered the time travel novel in her previous life, and the nine kings of the Qing Dynasty who liked to talk about it most in the TV series, and the eight kings died on the title of King Xian. Now there is another virtuous king here, which is ridiculous.

Chen Wenhui said: "He is a prince, and he has not expanded his territory, and he has not saved the people from fire and water, where is he virtuous? The title of this virtuous king is because he bought people's hearts. Needless to say, it was made by those great Confucians who wanted to flaunt benevolence at every turn. It's all a bunch of political idiots, who could have won, but they were lost by their ghost title. ”

Chen Yuanheng's eyes widened. If it weren't for the fact that his daughter was born to him, he would have doubted whether his daughter was a senior official of the imperial court. How do you know everything about the court? That's just the way it is. If the emperor really liked the three princes, he would have pulled the prince down a long time ago, and he never did it, that is, the emperor was not satisfied with the three princes. If she hadn't seen this clearly, the eldest sister wouldn't have thought it was an opportunity to make a comeback.

During this period of time, the eldest sister was deeply trusted by the emperor, and often deliberately said good things about the third prince in the chat, but every time the emperor heard the title of King Xian, he frowned, and he looked very bored. It can be seen that Wen Hui's guess is too correct.

Chen Yuanheng digested it for a while, and then said: "The fourth prince has a low background. I'm fifteen years old this year. The biological mother Xia Guiren was born as a palace maid, and her family was a florist in the capital. entered the palace, because of his beautiful appearance, when the emperor visited the garden, he took a fancy to the Xia nobleman who was serving the flowers and plants. Later, he was promoted to a nobleman, and later gave birth to a prince, that is, the fourth prince, but it was difficult to give birth when he gave birth, so Xia Guiren was long gone. The four princes did not have the protection of their biological mother, and they have always grown up silently in the palace. ”

Chen Wenhui was silent, thinking in her heart, how can this be so similar to the Sisi inside. Born in a humble background, he is not taken seriously.

Chen Yuanheng saw that his daughter didn't speak, so he continued: "The fifth prince is still young, only six years old, his biological mother is from an average background, she is the daughter of a magistrate, and her current position is Xie Chonghua. ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said: "Since the little prince is gone, can't the eldest aunt choose one of the existing princes, so that there will be another prince." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "But most of the existing princes are already old, how can this be recognized, so that they will still be towards their biological mother, and there will be no place for our Chen family in the future?" ”

Chen Wenhui was about to speak, but Chen Wenlin said: "Actually, being old has the advantage of being older. They had no hope of winning the championship, but now that their aunt had given them a hope, they should be doubly grateful, and sometimes it was better than raising them from childhood. ”

Chen Wenhui looked at the second brother strangely, and thought, it's amazing, it turns out that the second brother's IQ is also so high, it seems that the Chen family's genes are good.

Chen Yuanheng thought about it seriously and felt that it was very feasible. He looked at his children with praise and felt very gratified.

Chen Wenhui asked the second brother: "Then which one do you think is suitable?" ”

Chen Wenlin said: "I think the four princes are suitable. One, he doesn't have a biological mother anymore. Second, he is already old and is already familiar with the general palace tricks, and, as far as I know, he left the palace very early and has his own mansion, so that he can avoid repeating the things of the prince of Qian Concubine again. ”

Chen Wenhui looked at the second brother appreciatively.

Chen Yuanheng also felt that what his son said was very reasonable. Bai Shi is very happy, originally her eldest son went out, she felt as if she had lost half of her support, and now she is relieved to see that her second son has also grown up, she is really happy.

ps：

The male protagonist will definitely appear tomorrow.
