One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The news that the emperor ordered the three princes to go to Zhongshan to worship their ancestors spread rapidly in Beijing. Everyone's first reaction when they heard the news was that the emperor had a great possibility of wanting to appoint the third prince as the prince.

It stands to reason that the three princes are the emperor's sons-in-law, and it is not inappropriate for the emperor to appoint the three princes as the princes.

However, now there is a problem in front of him, the mother of the third prince is a princess of the grassland, and he has the blood of the golden family in his body.

So according to their intentions, they don't want the third prince to be made the prince, because there are still the eldest prince and the second prince to choose from. The Great Zhou has not yet established the rule of having a descendant and no descendant like Nanchu.

Now the emperor ordered the three princes to go to Zhongshan to worship their ancestors, obviously wanting to make the three princes the princes, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but they can't refute it.

Because the emperor has never explicitly stated that he wants to appoint the three princes as princes, and the matter of the three princes worshipping their ancestors, they have no reason to refute it.

The news shocked everyone, but the discussion was very small, because there was nothing to talk about.

Everyone could only say a few words vaguely and shook their heads, and they couldn't discuss with great fanfare that the emperor sent the three princes to worship their ancestors to make the three princes the princes.

So this news has attracted a lot of attention among the officials, but there is some strange silence in the court.

In this strange silence, another news also quietly spread, and the three princesses were happy.

Which family's daughter-in-law is happy Originally, only women would gossip, but the third princess was happy, but not only women talked about it.

Because the birth of a child by the third princess is a major event of the society, because the third princess gave birth to a son, that is, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

There is no doubt that if the eldest grandson of the emperor is born, this will add a lot of points to the third prince. There is even more reason for the emperor to appoint three princes as princes.

After hearing this, the officials in the capital couldn't help but mutter, the eldest prince has been married for so long, why didn't the eldest princess move at all, but the third princess who got married late moved first, could it be that the mandate of heaven is really in the third prince?

It's not just the officials in the capital who are talking about this, but the Great Prince's Mansion is also talking about this.

The eldest prince laughed at himself a little and said: "The father asked the third child to go to Zhongshan to worship the ancestors, now it is really obvious enough, there were ancestors in Zhongshan in the past, and they were all from the Ministry of Rites, and now the third child has entered Beijing, and the father will let the third child go, and the father is determined to make the third child a prince." ”

The eldest princess was puzzled: "It's so obvious, why is the court so quiet?" The hundred officials didn't react at all, haven't they seen it yet? Or are they ......"

The eldest prince shook his head and said, "How can you not see it?" However, the father did not make it clear, but just asked the third child to worship his ancestors, and the officials had no reason to oppose it at all. ”

"Now that the third daughter-in-law is happy, and the father is happy, who wants to jump out and mess around at this time, isn't that a long life?"

Hearing this, the eldest princess's face turned slightly pale, and she bit her lip and said, "It's all the concubine's fault." ”

The eldest prince was slightly stunned and said, "Your fault? What's wrong with you? ”

The eldest princess bowed her head and said: "It's all the belly of the concubine's body, if the concubine can give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson as soon as possible, the father will be happy in his heart, and it can also bring good luck to His Royal Highness......"

The eldest prince shook his head slightly and said: "If you compete with the second child, it can still play a role, and if you compete with the third child, it won't play much role, and the third daughter-in-law will not soon have a movement." ”

Although the eldest prince comforted her so much, she was still very uncomfortable. Originally, after being married for so long, her stomach did not move, and she and her mother's family were very anxious.

Now Rong Xuan, who got married later than her, is pregnant, but her belly still hasn't moved, so you can imagine the pressure she has to bear.

If the eldest prince had never had sex with her, she wouldn't have felt that it was her fault. But since the eldest prince gave up the idea of competing for the crown, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.

Because of this, she felt guilty for not getting pregnant for a long time, and her mother's family felt anxious.

Seeing her self-blame, the eldest prince hesitated and said, "Actually, it's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself!" ”

The eldest princess looked up at him with some confusion, not understanding why the eldest prince would say this.

In fact, the eldest princess and her family were so anxious, he had always seen it in his eyes, and the eldest prince was silent for a moment and then said in a low voice: "I ...... when I was twelve years old, and a palace maid who served me by my side has been seducing me. ”

"I didn't know the importance at that time, I was greedy for a moment of happiness, and I couldn't resist her temptation, which may damage the foundation in the long run, although I have been raising, but so you won't be easy to conceive ......"

The eldest princess was a little surprised when she heard this, and looked at the eldest prince blankly for a while, not knowing what to do, and said dumbly: "Then, the imperial doctor ......"

The eldest prince smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "It was also later that Cheng Yizheng woke me up vaguely when he gave me a pulse, and later I also asked Cheng Yizheng privately, he gave me a prescription, but it is easy to be corrupted and difficult to raise, and it will take three or five years to take effect." ”

It turned out to be because of the palace maid, the eldest prince said with some hatred: "Your Highness, which palace maid is it?" ”

The eldest prince shook his head and said, "She has long been rotten and her bones are gone!" The reason why she is like this is that she has been seduced by some people. ”

The eldest princess was puzzled: "Some people's demagoguery? ”

The eldest prince sneered: "Although my father is very cold to the harem, and the palace looks very calm, how can there really be no waves at all!" ”

If the eldest princess still doesn't understand when she hears this, then she is really stupid, then the palace maid must have been seduced by Concubine De Niangniang to seduce Her Royal Highness.

Concubine De's purpose is to corrupt the foundation of His Royal Highness, although the palace maid has rotten bones, but Concubine De's purpose has been achieved.

Now that she has been married to the eldest prince for so long but has not moved, presumably Concubine De must be very proud, right?

No, Concubine De Niangniang and the second prince are also not proud, because Tang Ning is the emperor's favorite candidate for the prince, and Rong Xuan is now pregnant.

Although Concubine De Niangniang was very calculating, it was impossible to calculate Tang Ning and Rong Xuan.

The eldest princess felt the sinister in the palace for the first time, and felt the calculations in the palace, no wonder the second prince was scheming and calculating everywhere, it turned out that he inherited the heart of Concubine De.

Thinking about it this way, it is not unusual for Lin Lan to have such an insidious calculation by the second prince at the beginning. However, Concubine De's mother and son calculated and calculated, but in the end it was still in vain.

The eldest princess suddenly hoped that Tang Ning could ascend to the throne of the prince, completely cutting off the hopes of the second prince and Concubine De, if Tang Ning finally ascended the throne, Concubine De and the second prince would definitely have a hard time.
