Chapter 296: Establish a Prince?
Xiao Mingyue returned safe and sound, and the one who couldn't sit still the most was Zhen Miaoxia, even if she gave birth to a son, she was still not at ease, for fear that the mother and son would lose everything.
So every day, I tried every way to make friends with officials, and almost all of my dowries and Concubine Hui's money were spent on this.
Chen Xian went to court every day, and there were always a few officials who mentioned the establishment of the prince one after another, once or twice, and one or two people, but half of them began to speak, instigating themselves to be crowned princes, and named Zhen Miaoxia as the queen, or the imperial concubine!
This made Chen Xian, who originally had a trace of apology for Zhen Miaoxia, inevitably disgusted with her again.
It's obvious that the initiator of this is Zhen Miaoxia herself!
Originally, he was only Chang'er, a child, and the position of the prince would be his sooner or later, but he had such a mother, Chen Xian felt that Chang'er would not be smart in the future.
I had other plans in mind.
Rejecting the ministers, Chen Xian prepared to go to Yuxiu Palace to have a look.
I haven't seen her for a long time, but Zhen Miaoxia is really able to endure a lot.
I didn't expect to take advantage of my own conquest to be out and do such activities in secret.
"Smack!"
In Yuxiu Palace, Chen Xian angrily slammed a teacup on the ground.
Zhen Miaoxia and Erxi, who were scared on the side, were at a loss.
Zhen Miaoxia hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, you don't know what you did wrong, which made Your Majesty so angry!"
"You really are
Pretending to be confused! Don't you want to be a queen? The widow will fulfill you!" Chen Xian looked at Zhen Miaoxia with a torch.
Frightened, Zhen Miaoxia fell to the ground, and hurriedly got up and knelt down, "Your Majesty!" Concubines don't! There really aren't any concubines!"
"None? Then what do you mean that the widows are talking nonsense, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all talking nonsense, and we have all wronged you? Your mother and son are really wronged! Do you want to call those ministers over and confront you face to face? Chen Xian reprimanded Zhen Miaoxia.
Then he coughed.
"Your Majesty! Don't be angry! Watch out for the dragon body!" Chun'an hurriedly stepped forward to beat the emperor's back, and asked Erxi to pour another cup of tea.
Zhen Miaoxia couldn't imagine that she was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, stealing chickens and rice!
"Your Majesty, the concubine was confused for a while, begging Your Majesty for mercy, but the concubine had no other intentions, just that her beloved son was earnest and thought about Chang'er, begging Your Majesty to be merciful! Chang'er is His Majesty's own flesh and blood! Your Majesty should feel sorry for him!" Then he winked at Erxi and asked her to hug Chang'er.
The eldest prince Chen Chang was already two years old at this time, and he could speak and learn to walk.
When Erxi brought Chang'er over, he motioned to him to call the emperor "Father", and after a long time of effort, the eldest prince blurted out "Father...... Father"
The happy Zhen Miaoxia smiled, although she was kneeling on the ground, she couldn't help but shed tears, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Chang'er can be called 'Father Emperor'!" Your Majesty!"
Then Erxi helped the eldest prince to walk a little bit, and the eldest prince staggered towards Chen Xiao, facing the child's innocent smiling face, although Chen Xiao was angry, although he wanted to beat Zhen Miaoxia into the cold palace, but after all, he was also a father, and Chang'er was still his own child.
Seeing her son in the emperor's arms, Zhen Miaoxia was very proud in her heart, the so-called blood is thicker than water, even if the emperor hates her, he must look at the child's face, be tolerant of her, and come to see himself every once in a while.
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty has free time in the future, come and see Chang'er more! Your Majesty only has Chang'er, a child, and Chang'er's growth is inseparable from Your Majesty!"
Zhen Miaoxia wants to use this child, although she can't let herself be favored in the harem, but for the position of the queen mother in the future, no one wants to fight with herself!
Chen Xian hugged the child, and he also knew Zhen Miaoxia's thoughts in his heart.
"This kid is still young, you are so anxious to make him the prince, you should have other intentions! Don't you want the widow to die as soon as possible, and you can learn from Empress Dowager Lu to get power!" Chen Xian asked Zhen Miaoxia coldly.
was so frightened that Zhen Miaoxia couldn't help but "plop!" again!" Kneeling, "Your Majesty! The concubine really doesn't dare! The concubines are loyal to Your Majesty, and besides...... Besides, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, Your Majesty will definitely live a long life, long live, long live, long live, long live! The concubine swore that she would never dare to think nonsense, otherwise she would ...... Otherwise, the concubine will not die well!"
Of course, Chen Xian doesn't believe Zhen Miaoxia's set, firstly, he is not a faint king, and secondly, he does not dislike Zhen Miaoxia, unless it is absolutely necessary, the matter of establishing a prince can naturally be delayed!
I came to Yuxiu Palace mainly to warn Zhen Miaoxia not to behave nonsense, and I also remembered that the eldest prince was still young and needed to be taken care of by his mother, so he also spared Zhen Miaoxia for the time being, making him repent.
"Hello do it yourself! If you are naturally restless and self-guarding in the future, the widow will not spare you, and your son will be punished together!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The concubine doesn't dare anymore!"
Chen Xian left the two little palace maids beside him in Yuxiu Palace, monitoring Zhen Miaoxia's every move at all times.
If your words or deeds are inappropriate, you must report them to yourself in time.
It is also called Zhen Miaoxia to raise the eldest prince, don't mislead the little doll!
Out of Yuxiu Palace, Chen Xian looked up to the sky and sighed, looking back, unspeakably melancholy.
Chun'an followed the emperor's gaze and looked back, and asked the emperor cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you looking at the eldest prince?" If you are reluctant, Your Majesty will retire tomorrow, and it will not be too late to come and take a look!"
Chen Xian shook his head, "It's not because of that child, to be honest, I'm not worried about his mother!" What should I do if I teach him badly in the future?"
Chun'an listened, while thinking about sharing worries for the emperor, "Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the little prince to send some more, take him from Concubine Hui, and find someone else to raise him?!"
"Who to raise? Will you bring children? The widow doesn't like children, so it's okay to come and see him every once in a while, but if you look at him every day, you just feel upset!" Chen Xian said his heartfelt words to Chun'an.
Chun'an thought for a while, and suddenly remembered what his master Zhao Gonggong had said before, "To be a slave, you must not only know the current affairs, like what the master likes, and dislike what the master dislikes, but also think about the master, and say what the master thinks but can't say it directly, even if you lose your head!" It's not in vain!"
"Your Majesty! The slave thinks that he can put the eldest prince next to the county lord to educate, the county lord is erudite and talented, and it is more than enough to be the prince in the palace, and he is bound to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he must not be wrong to raise the eldest prince with the county lord!" Chun An smiled and suggested to Chen Xian.
"How dare you think about it!" After speaking, Chen Xian strode forward.
Chun'an followed closely behind, "Your Majesty, the minions are brave, but the minions are all for the sake of Your Majesty, for the sake of Chen Guo's future, and for the sake of the luminous word!"
"The county lord will not agree!" Chen Xian turned back to Chun'an and said.
"Your Majesty can let the county lord teach the eldest prince in the name of the teacher, and in half a year, the eldest prince can also read and write, and the slave thinks that only the county lord is the most suitable!" Chun An continued.
Chen Xian stopped and turned to look at Chun'an, "You minion, you really dare to think about it!" What else do you dare not think?!"
"The slave just wants to be loyal to His Majesty wholeheartedly, and he doesn't dare to think of anything else!"
"Well said! Then I'll leave it to you! If you can convince the county lord, the widow will be rewarded! If you can't convince you, the widow will punish you in the same way, how about it!" Chen Xian wanted to see how many catties and taels this Chun'an had.
At this point, Chun'an had to bite the bullet and give it a try.
If it happens, his position in the emperor's heart must be important.
If it doesn't work, you have to think you're unlucky! It's a big deal, I was beaten and kicked out of the palace!
Value!
In fact, since Zhen Miaoxia's child landed, Chen Xian had this idea, he was destined to not have children with Xiao Mingyue in this life, so if this child could grow up next to Xiao Mingyue, he would definitely be a little like her, looking at it himself, his heart was naturally happy!
Chun'an went to the imperial dining room, took a lot of delicacies, and brought them to Mingyue Tower, thinking that the amber girl was not there, and I didn't know if this set would work or not.
Cai Wei and Qing Wen saw Chun'an coming like this, and they were so attentive, they were afraid that they had something to ask for someone.
"Chun'an, what are you doing, are you here to bribe us?!" Cai Wei asked.
"Father-in-law Chun'an, I'm afraid that he won't go to the Three Treasures Hall if he has nothing to do! The big celebrity around Your Majesty, what kind of wind gave you out today?!" Qingwen teased him.
Chun'an smiled, "Oops! The two sisters are really joking, what kind of celebrity am I! The two sisters are! Ask the two of you to give a report, and say that Xiao Anzi has come to see the county lord!"
Cai Wei and Qing Wen smiled.
Qingwen: "Okay, you wait, I'll go back to the county lord!"
Cai Wei took the things in Chun'an's hand and asked with a smile: "These are all filial piety to the county lord?!"
"Of course, there are two sisters!"
Chun'an said flatteringly to Cai Wei.
Cai Wei smiled and nodded to Chun'an, "Count you smart!"
Entering the Mingyue Building, Xiao Mingyue's study, Chun'an saw Xiao Mingyue painting, and hurriedly complimented him: "The county lord is talented and intelligent, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but if he doesn't accept a little apprentice, it will be a pity!"
When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Oh? According to you, I will take in a little apprentice and give him what I have learned? "
Chun'an smiled, "Exactly!"
"Then do you have any recommendations, say it and I'll listen to it, and I will also learn from the gentleman in the school and teach the students!" Xiao Mingyue said to Chun'an while painting.
Chun'an smiled, "It's not a secret, this candidate is naturally available!"
Cai Wei joked to Chun'an, "Chun'an, you said that this suitable person should not be yourself, right?!"
Qingwen also looked at Chun'an and asked with a smile, "Could it be that Your Majesty dislikes you for not reading much, so you came to our county lord to learn qin, chess, calligraphy and painting?!"
Xiao Mingyue put down the paintbrush in her hand and said to Cai Wei and Qingwen: "Okay, don't make fun of Chun'an, let him finish!"
Chun'an hurriedly knelt down and said to Xiao Mingyue: "The county lord is smart, and the slave is brave enough to speak, although Concubine Hui has given birth to a prince, but no one in the palace knows that she is not as good as the county lord, and she often does wrong things, which makes Your Majesty unhappy, but the little prince is very smart!" You have to find someone who understands to teach, the slave thinks that only the county lord is the first suitable person, if the county lord is willing to be the little prince's teacher, then the little prince will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among people in the future!"
"Who told you that? Your Majesty or Concubine Hui?!" Xiao Mingyue asked.
Chun'an approached Xiao Mingyue, "County master, the slave came up with it himself!"
Cai Wei pouted on the side, "Chun'an, what are you worried about, it's the emperor's heart that you worry about in front of the little eunuch!"
Qingwen also said, "That's Concubine Hui's own son, no matter what kind of upbringing, it has nothing to do with our county lord!" Your Majesty doesn't care about it, why should you call us the head of the county!"
Chun'an continued to plead with Xiao Mingyue, "The slave swears with his own head, it is really the minion's own thoughts!" In the past few days, the court has been clamoring for His Majesty to set up the crown prince as soon as possible, His Majesty knows that it is Concubine Hui Niangniang who is making a hindrance, and he is very annoyed, originally His Majesty planned to depose Concubine Hui, but this little prince is innocent after all, if he has been raised by Concubine Hui, I don't know what will become of it in the future!"
Cai Wei rolled her eyes and muttered, "It has nothing to do with us!"
"Alright, Caiwei, let's go pour tea! Father-in-law Chun'an said so much, he should be thirsty!" Xiao Mingyue instructed Cai Wei.
Chun An looked at Xiao Mingyue and continued: "In this world, no matter what aspect it is, no one can compare to the county lord!" If the county lord refuses to make a move, then the future of our Chen Kingdom will be... It's unthinkable!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Concubine Hui, how can you be so unbearable! Besides, the little prince is still young, and he still needs to stay with his biological mother!"
"County Lord! As the saying goes, three-year-olds look big, seven-year-olds look old! You can't leave it alone!"
Chun'an began to persuade Xiao Mingyue with spittle, saying that the little prince was very miserable, and finally said that Chen Xian also hoped that she could teach the little prince a thing or two.
"This little prince is His Majesty's biological son, why doesn't Your Majesty teach it personally!" Xiao Mingyue asked Chun'an, thinking that Chen Xian should also like this child very much, but he had to stuff it into himself, it was too inappropriate, and he had never taken a child very much, especially such a young child!
"County Lord! Your Majesty wants the county lord to teach the little prince! In this way, the little prince can have the temperament and demeanor of a county lord, which is exactly what His Majesty wants to see!" Chun'an said this flatteringly.
"Okay, you go back and tell Zhen Miaoxia and Your Majesty, if they all agree, and the little prince agrees, I will agree to be the little prince's teacher, and they must be willing!"
Chun'an heard that Xiao Mingyue was willing, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Lord County!" Chitose, the county lord!"
