Xiang Rong'er was in exile when she was a child, what books did she study there? He was very unaccustomed to the strange name that the emperor gave to his son. Xiang Rong'er came from a humble background, and she really hoped that her son could be named by a literati, and the prince's teachers were all great literati, so why not let them help make one? Xiang Rong'er had no idea the intricacies of naming the Ming Dynasty's royal family.

"Prince, what is Zhu Shengduo's name? How strange! Why don't you ask Mr. Huang to give him a nice name! ”

The prince was shocked when he heard Xiang Rong'er say this, you dare to say that the emperor gave you a name, what do you want to do?

"Rong'er, don't talk nonsense! This is the name given by my father! ”

Xiang Rong'er was usually spoiled by Zhu Hai, and pouted: "Okay! Just call Zhu Shengduo according to your father's wishes! But what does this Zhu Shengduo mean? ”

After all, Zhu Hai is deeply educated by Confucianism, and he is good at this: "Because the son's generation is ranked to be promoted, the word in the middle is promotion." Duo is a kind of musical instrument in ancient times, and it is clear in the text of the explanation, "Duo, a big bell, shaped like a cymbal, a cymbal and a tongue." This priest was used to announce political and religious decrees in ancient times, so the father means that he hopes that our son will inherit the great unification in the future and maintain the political and religious decrees of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhu Hai's words made Xiang Rong'er very satisfied, now that she has been promoted to the mother of the eldest son of the crown prince, she naturally has to plan for her son's future, where is there better than being an emperor?

Just after Zhu Hai finished speaking, the door of Xiang Rong'er's room opened, and several people walked in, it was Ma Ning'er, the official wife of the crown prince Zhu Hai.

Ma Ning'er was furious when she heard outside the door that the prince was going to pass on the position of heir to the child born to that cheap woman. Prince, you don't want to think about it, can you become a prince without the support of our Ma family? Ma Ning'er couldn't control her anger anymore, pushed the door and walked in.

Xiang Rong'er hadn't seen the hostess of the East Palace, and when she saw a graceful and luxurious woman coming in outside the door, followed by two maids, Xiang Rong'er knew that Bacheng was the crown princess.

In fact, in terms of appearance, Ma Ning'er is stronger than Xiang Rong'er in terms of temperament and appearance. After all, the Ma family is a big family, and the education method is comparable to that of an exiled third child. But feelings can't be measured by beauty, Zhu Hai happened to meet Xiang Rong'er when she was ignorant in her seventeen or eighteen youth, and she was naturally attracted by her pungent and cheerful personality. But Ma Ning'er is completely a delicate girl, and Zhu Hai had a lot of contact with Ma Ning'er when she was a child, so she has already lost interest in Ma Ning'er.

Ma Ning'er came into the house and said angrily: "Prince, what did you just say? Want to make the son born to this an heir? Have you forgotten how our family has helped you? ”

Zhu Hai saw that Ma Ning'er heard what he had just said, and his heart was also a little short of breath. No way, who said that he needs the Ma family now? But the prince is a man after all, and no man likes to be said by his wife to eat soft rice, and he has today's status by relying on his wife's mother's family.

The prince stood up and said angrily, "What did you say? What does it mean to rely on your family? The position of the crown prince of this palace was chosen by his father, what does it have to do with your family? ”

Ma Ning'er saw that the prince was angry with herself, and looked at the prince in disbelief: "Prince, how dare you yell at me?" What did you say back then? Didn't you say in front of your aunt that you wanted a golden house to hide Jiao? ”

At this time, Xiang Rong'er saw the prince facing her, and deliberately cried: "Prince, the concubine should not come to Nanjing, at that time, the prince let the concubine die in Nanchang!" ”

Xiang Rong'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she woke up the prince in her words, but I saved you in Nanchang! What's going on now? Do you want revenge?

Xiang Rong'er cried, and the child also cried, and the house cried for a while. Zhu Hai is only nineteen years old this year, and he has experienced this kind of thing there, and he doesn't know how to solve it for a while.

At this moment, a palace person outside the courtyard shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please come out to meet the emperor's holy decree!" ”

It turned out that his father's decree had arrived, Zhu Hai's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly said to Ma Ning'er: "Father's decree is here, go out with me to greet him!" "The maid-in-law in the house also dressed Xiang Rong'er, after all, the emperor's holy decree is great, but it doesn't matter if you have just given birth to a child.

In a panic in the house for a long time, the prince took Ma Ning'er and Xiang Rong'er out to meet the holy decree, and the eldest son Zhu Shengduo also had someone to hold him and kneel down to receive the holy decree.

Zhu Hai saw that it was the great eunuch Li Chengen who came to announce the decree today, Zhu Hai was happy in his heart, his father was very happy just now, could it be that this holy decree could give his eldest son a title?

As the prince of the country, the child is eligible to be crowned the king of the county. But now there are only two princes who are crowned kings, and the other princes are not even county kings.

Li Chengen saw the prince come out, and said with a smile: "The old slave congratulates the master, but the old slave has a holy decree, and he can't kowtow to the master!" ”

Although Zhu Hai and Li Chengen didn't deal with each other very well, he also had to say in the scene: "There! There! Please read the holy decree to Gonggong Li! ”

Li Chengen nodded, unfolded the bright yellow holy decree and began to read it.

The holy decree is very simple, that is, the crown prince, you gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor for me, I am very happy, and I hope that the crown prince and the crown princess will work hard and work hard for the royal family. But then the conversation changed, Xiang Rong'er was born in a dirty background, where she could be the mother of the emperor's eldest grandson, and she was specially given death! Zhu Shengduo, the eldest grandson of the emperor, was entrusted to the noble concubine Qian to be raised.

When Zhu Hai and Xiang Rong'er heard the news, they were like five thunderbolts, and they were still praised just now, why do they want to die now?

The crown prince shouted: "Gonggong Li, wait a minute, is the holy decree wrong?" Isn't my father happy? Why do you want to give death to the Xiang clan? ”

"Hey! His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't want to think about it, what identity does the old slave dare to falsely preach the holy decree? Don't old slaves want to live? This is indeed what the emperor meant! ”

"That's not right! Wrong! I'm going to find my father! Gonggong Li, wait a minute, I'll go to my father to take back the holy decree!" Zhu Hai stood up and rushed out of the door, running towards the Wenhua Palace.

Li Chengen shook his head and sighed in his heart: It's useless, can that tyrant father of yours listen to you?

Everyone in the courtyard was shocked by the content of the holy decree, but there was one person who was very happy, and that was the crown princess Ma Ning'er.

Ma Ning'er listened to the emperor's death to the Xiang clan, she was really overjoyed, so what was more relieving to watch her rival die in front of her!

"Gonggong Li, since the emperor has a holy decree, please carry it out!"

Li Chengen sighed in his heart when he heard the crown princess say this: The prince is sorry, and the old slave can't help it!

In fact, Li Chengen also wanted to buy time for the crown prince, after all, he also knew that it was not good to have an unpleasant quarrel with the prince, but how could he have thought that the crown princess was here, if the crown princess went to the emperor to sue herself, saying that she deliberately delayed time, it would be troublesome.

Li Chengen couldn't come to Xiang and said, "Mrs. Xiang, the emperor has a will, please ascend to heaven!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and the little eunuch behind him sent a three-foot white silk to let Xiang commit suicide.

Xiang Rong'er, an eighteen-nineteen eldest girl, saw this, and was so frightened that she crawled in front of Ma Ning'er and cried: "Princess, the concubine is wrong, the concubine will no longer compete with the princess for favor in the future, the princess and Gonggong Li will talk about sparing the concubine!" ”

Ma Ning'er saw that Xiang's family, who was still flying and domineering a moment ago, now knelt in front of him and begged for mercy, and she was very relieved.

"Humph! Xiang, do you just remember to beg for mercy now? Finished! After Ma Ning'er finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Gonggong Li: "Gonggong Li, why haven't you carried out your father's will?" ”

The four little eunuchs behind Li Chengen walked to the front, two of them grabbed Xiang Rong'er's hands, and two of them put white silk around Xiang Rong'er's neck, and pulled hard, and a poor beauty like a flower and jade died.

Ma Ning'er had never seen a dead person, and she was already so frightened that her legs trembled, but she held back her fear and looked at her rival in love. When she saw Xiang Rong'er being protruded from her body by Bai Ayale's eyes and tongue, Ma Ning'er couldn't control it anymore, and threw up on the side.

Li Chengen, as the commander of Dongchang, has seen a lot of this kind of thing. After seeing Xiang Rong'er's breath, she stepped forward and tried her snort, then bowed down and said, "Back to the crown princess, the Xiang family has hanged himself, and there is nothing the old slave wants to go back to hand in the decree?" ”

Ma Ning'er stopped vomiting, stood up and didn't dare to look at Xiang Rong'er, who looked ugly in death, and said to Li Chengen: "Thank you Gonggong Li, please go back!" ”

Li Chengen bowed and retreated, and then the little eunuch stepped forward to lift Xiang Rong'er's body and sent it to the Huaren Farm in the west of the palace to be burned.

Ma Ning'er saw that her rival in love was dead, and her heart was really mixed. Her mother died early, and she had already been chosen by her aunt Ma Xiaofang as her daughter-in-law, so she was spoiled at home, and her brothers and sisters didn't dare to mess with her at all. But Ma Ning'er knew that several of her father's concubines were secretly jealous, and they could use any means in private.

Originally, Ma Ning'er thought that she couldn't compete with others for favor, but the prince Zhu Hai has loved himself since he was a child, and he will definitely be able to continue to love himself after getting married. But Ma Ning'er's ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. When Ma Ning'er got married at the beginning of the year, she heard that the prince had brought back a woman from Huguang, and she heard that she was pregnant.

At first, Ma Ning'er didn't take it to heart, the man was not a third wife and four concubines, but the next development of things was completely different from what Ma Ning'er thought. Ma Ning'er was found to be pregnant in March, this is Ma Ning'er's first child, she naturally wants her husband Zhu Hai to be by her side every day, but Zhu Hai goes to the Xiang's courtyard in the city every day. What's even more infuriating is that Zhu Hai took the Xiang family to the East Palace without the consent of his hostess.

What can Ma Ning'er do as a woman, if her aunt is fine, she can naturally make decisions for herself, but now that her aunt is gone, the imperial concubine Ma Ruyan is even more obsessed with the prince, and Ma Ning'er can't say anything to Ma Ruyan in order to protect the prince.

In this way, Ma Ning'er waited for four months, originally thought that Xiang Rong'er would give birth to a daughter, and Zhu Hai would naturally be able to return to him, but Xiang Rong'er's stomach was very angry, and her first child was her son.

Seeing the scene of Xiang swallowing his breath in front of him, although Ma Ning'er was scared to death, she was also very relieved. From this moment, she knew that no one in this East Palace was her ally, not even the crown prince Zhu Hai. If you don't want to be like this Xiang family, you can only work hard to give birth to a son, and then use the identity of the crown princess to solve all your love enemies, as long as you stay up until your son grows up and becomes the emperor, it will be your victory.
