There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys because of the emperor's punishment of the princess, and the matter of the prince began to be mentioned tentatively, but the emperor did not send it and did not make any statement, and those few pieces of music were like mud cows into the sea without news.

Du Xiang invited Mrs. Fan to come to the house for a small gathering, Fan Anyang brought his son to see his grandfather, Mrs. Fan smiled when he saw this little great-grandson, Xiaoxu is not familiar with his great-grandfather and great-grandfather, but he is used to seeing old people with his father and mother every day, Yan Chi and the advisory group are all old people, so he is not afraid of life at all, who hugs and laughs, Mrs. Fan is rare, and he will not withdraw his hand if he holds it.

Du Xiang is a little surprised, this is my great-grandson!

Fan Anyang didn't let his son stay for a long time, let the two old men tease him for a while, and then took his son to retire to the kitchen and give them some food.

Du Xiang asked people to bring the chessboard and play chess with Mrs. Fan, you come and I have a good fight, the little guy serves new tea and freshly baked dim sum, the two elders will eat up, Du Xiang ate the salty dim sum made of bird's nest, drank a sip of tea, and then sighed and said, "It seems that this time, it is time to make a reserve." ”

Mrs. Fan is still eating dim sum, he is eating a cake with red bean filling, the soft skin is sweet red bean paste, the taste is very fragrant, but it is not very sweet, so it is quite suitable for his taste.

Wen Yan put down the red bean cake, picked up the tea and took a sip, "Although the emperor is in his old age, the princes are getting older, and the prince should also be established." ”

After the establishment of the prince of the East Palace, those people should no longer jump, right? Mrs. Fan immediately shook his head with a smile, secretly laughing at himself for thinking too naïvely.

As early as when the emperor brought King Huai's children into the palace, they wanted to persuade the emperor not to do this. After all, this is likely to make the Marquis of Fuyang and the Queen Mother mistakenly think that the emperor intends to make King Huai the crown prince, but thinking that King Huai is unreliable, and Princess Huai's mother's family is not credible, if they don't take the two brothers and sisters into the palace, do they want to let them continue to be poisoned by Princess Huai in the palace?

Their emperor has not experienced fratricide, but he is very clear about the scheming of the harem women, thanks to the Empress Dowager Yang, he understands very well why the first emperor only has one son, he grew up healthy, and his half-brothers all died at the hands of the Empress Dowager Yang and her minions. Laugh at the women who are trying to hide the skin of the tiger. I thought I could step on the Empress Dowager Yang, but I didn't know that their fate was actually the same as the women they murdered.

Empress Dowager Yang is a ruthless person, and when the first emperor was there, she was like this. When the emperor was still in the East Palace. Although the main concubine and the side concubine were blocked by the first emperor. The Yang family was not allowed to enter the East Palace, but as the queen, a few palace people were sent to the East Palace. The first emperor couldn't pick out the thorns.

The eldest son of the emperor died in the hands of the queen mother, at that time, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, Concubine Yang had not yet entered the palace, before the first emperor passed away, he handed over all the manpower to his son, with the help of these secret guards, slowly pulled out the hand of the queen mother, the queen and Concubine Lan were able to give birth to children safely.

Of course, this may be because after Concubine Yang entered the palace, she got the boy to give birth to five princes in one fell swoop, the Queen Mother has deep expectations for King Huai, and the same is true for the Marquis of Fuyang, the Queen Mother has no children and only gives birth to two daughters, she treats King Huai as a son, and many times Concubine Yang can't interfere in the affairs of King Huai, because the Queen Mother is in control.

Fuyang Hou waited for almost a lifetime to wait for a prince with the blood of the Yang family, and almost put all his energy on him, but in the marriage of King Huai, overcalculation led to a failure, King Huai and the Yang family gradually drifted apart, and Fuyang Hou's influence on this grandson became weaker and weaker.

It's not that he is not in a hurry, but it is useless to be anxious, it is the emperor's son, not only his grandson, he was too big at the beginning, and when the emperor let go and let the queen mother and him have full authority to marry the king, he should not follow, but he didn't expect that the eldest daughter would take him into the army.

Fan Taifu has taught lessons to the princes, and he knows the qualifications of these adult princes well, and the qualifications of King Huai are not as good as King Cheng and King Yong, and even not as good as his younger brother King Ping, but not compared with them, he is still smart, at least compared with King Ning, it is really much better.

It's just that he hasn't been able to figure it out, King Huai's performance when he was young was okay, why did his heart change so much after leaving the palace and opening the mansion?

"That's because he didn't have to think about anything since he was a child, someone thought about everything for him, and someone helped him think about everything, and if he did it well, could he still do it?" Du Xiang glanced at him, dropped the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and Mrs. Fan saw it.

"Damn it!" He had already blocked Du Xiang's way, but Du Xiang came to life with this move, and he lost!

Du Xiang smiled heartily, "Accept, accept!" One more round? ”

Mrs. Fan snorted coldly, Du Xiang stretched out his hand to clean up the remaining chess, and then restarted the game, the two sides fought again, Du Xiangcai said, "Just looking at the marriage of the queen mother and the Marquis of Fuyang, you know that the emperor does not want him to be the crown prince." ”

Mrs. Fan laughed twice, "Who can't see it?" It's just that everyone has selfishness, King Yong was still young at that time, King Cheng and King An both had their own supporters, and those wall grasses wanted to change people, and it depended on whether others accepted them. ”

After King An died unexpectedly, Concubine Mei and Fang Xiang both wanted to support King Ning, but no one was stupid, even when his own brother died, he didn't rush back, patronizing and entangled with women, I heard that he was quite brutal in private, he was young before, and Concubine Mei and King An helped him cover up one or two, but after King An's death, Concubine Mei was no longer able to whitewash the peace for her youngest son.

King Ning now regards entering the palace as a daunting way, except for Concubine Mei who wants to talk when she sees him, the emperor also blows his beard and glares at him, and he doesn't have a good word.

"Who do you think the emperor will appoint as the crown prince?" Du Xiang looked at the chess game and smiled.

Mrs. Fan glanced at him, but didn't respond, Du Xiang didn't care, he was proud in his heart, Mrs. Fan was going to lose him again!

Seeing Du Xiang's expression of disbelief, Fan Taifu stroked his beard and said, "The emperor himself is the son of the Empress Yuan, and he has a son in the middle palace, so he naturally hopes to follow orthodoxy and pass on the throne to King Yong." ”

Du Xiang was silent for a long time before he said, "King Cheng really has no intention of taking the throne?" ”

Mrs. Fan smiled slightly, "As a prince." Do you think he has that heart? ”

"That ......"

Mrs. Fan waved at him, "I've had a long talk with him, and he's a very sober person!" I'm afraid that my brain is not clear. ”

Thinking that King Cheng was ordered to go south on an errand that year, he went to Fan's Mansion to find him, so he asked him, and King Cheng, whose face was still immature at that time, said, "I am the prince, of course, I have thought that one day I will sit on the dragon court and take charge of the country." It's just that I'm going to sit on that chair. It is bound to give up a lot, and I am the same as the five emperor brothers, none of them are the concubines of the middle palace, and there are five emperor brothers. My odds are not good. And the older you get. The more I know, the more I feel...... I'd better assist the new emperor! ”

King Cheng said, "I think my father is the emperor. But he also has more restraints than others, obviously he doesn't like the Queen Mother, but he wants to be filial in front of her, if he doesn't go along with the Queen Mother's wishes, there will be imperial history to impeach. This is also why the emperor knew that the queen mother might be the murderer of his mother, but he couldn't get rid of her happily, and he had to eat and drink for her.

Thinking of the day when the emperor found out about this and took him away, Mrs. Fan sighed heavily, as the king of a country, you can't act arbitrarily, but how can you not repay the revenge of killing your mother?

The next day, the news came that Princess Huai died of a sudden illness, King Huai was too sad and fell ill, and the two side concubines were in charge, and they originally sent someone into the palace to pick up the eldest prince and the third girl back to the house, but the queen mother and Concubine Yang were willing to take it up, or the queen came to pick it up, and the queen mother let the eldest great-grandson go back to the palace of Huaiwang to see his mother for the last time.

Concubine Yang didn't agree anywhere, she was not on good terms with her eldest sister, her daughter-in-law was weak, and she might not be able to have a round house for a while, almost making her son have no children, Concubine Yang hated her mother and daughter before it was too late, how could she let her granddaughter who was less than one year old go out of the palace to give her mother a ride, so she pushed that the child was too young, go to that unfortunate place, what if she got sick?

The queen no longer persuades, anyway, it is enough to have Chu Yexian go!

When Chu Yexian returned to the palace, there were more than 20 eunuchs and palace people sent by the Queen Mother, saying that they were afraid that the concubines were busy dealing with the princess's funeral and failed to take care of him.

Concubine Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although Chu Yexian was not born to Princess Huai, but as soon as he landed, he was recorded as the eldest son of Concubine Huai, this is a nail in the coffin, no one can change it, otherwise why would Princess Huai poison him?

Besides, now no one knows that the Queen Mother takes him seriously, she doesn't need her to send someone to take care of him, if something happens, it has nothing to do with her, she is busy with the princess's funeral, and she has to take care of the house, and she has to keep an eye on her son, the Queen Mother sent someone to take care of the eldest son, it is really good!

It's just that as soon as Princess Huai died, the Zhu family immediately came to the door, without it, they wanted to hurry up with King Huai to finalize the choice of the concubine, Fuyang Hou personally came to the door to pay tribute, Princess Huai is his granddaughter, and his granddaughter-in-law, is his junior, it is said that he can't come, but Princess Huai is the princess's concubine, is the clan, is the king, Fuyang Hou is a subordinate, and no one can say that he is wrong when he comes to this trip.

It's just that the purpose of his coming is not to worship Princess Huai, but to discuss the issue of stepconcubines with King Huai, and King Huai pretended to be sick because of this.

Because Princess Huai was ordered to be detained by the emperor before, so during these days, King Huai was resting in the house of the side concubines, and Concubine Fang was so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, and she finally went back to the room to accompany King Huai to have lunch.

King Huai shook his chopsticks angrily, "It's over!" ”

Concubine Fang was drinking porridge, and was startled by King Huai's sudden anger, and put down the bowl and stroked her chest, "The prince is angry." ”

"The princess has just died, and they are anxious to finalize the candidate for the step-concubine with me, this will be passed out, I'm afraid it will be very ugly, right?"

That's for sure, Concubine Fang said in her heart, "The prince is angry, let's eat?" ”

"I'm full of gas, and I'm still eating."

"Lord Wang, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry for them, you take your own stomach out of anger, they don't feel pain, anyway, it's you who are hungry, not them."

Huai Wang kicked his feet, kicked his shoes off, and the whole person nested on the kang, "Then what do you say?" ”

"Just hang them! Aren't you sick? After eating and taking medicine, they fell asleep, and if they had to wait, let them wait, and let them go if they couldn't wait. ”

Concubine Fang's face was sly, and King Huai buried her in the pillow and smiled, "Okay! But if they wait, don't let them go, let them wait for me, until I wake up and see them. King Huai gritted his teeth and said, Damn, the tiger is not powerful, and these two people treat Lao Tzu as a sick cat. (To be continued......)
