Chapter 42: Prince Li
excluded his younger brother King Liang, and could only choose the prince from among the sons who came out. The canonization of the crown prince is officially on the agenda.
According to the law of etiquette, there are grandchildren, and there are no grandchildren. The crown prince's laurel fell to Liu Rong, the eldest son of Li Jisheng.
In April 153 BC, Liu Qi officially canonized his eldest son Liu Rong as the crown prince. The strange thing is that on the same day, the four-year-old tenth prince Yu'er was named the king of Jiaodong.
Liu Rong was twenty years old at the time, in the royal family, this age is not too young, this new prince's qualifications are mediocre, there is nothing extraordinary, Liu Qi is not particularly satisfied with him.
Liu Qi considered that his younger brother Liu Wu was restless, he had the support of his mother, the Empress Dowager Dou, and the position of the prince had been vacant for a long time, which was coveted, and it was very likely to cause a storm and affect stability. Liu Rong occupies the position of the eldest son, although he is not excellent, he is an honest man, he has not made any mistakes in following the rules, and he is the most suitable person.
Liu Rong's biological mother, Li Ji, used to be Liu Qi's favorite woman. Li Ji was not born tall and was very beautiful, and was favored by Liu Qi, who was still the prince. Liu Qi's first three sons were all born to her, and they were born once a year. gave birth to three children in three years, which is enough to prove that Liu Qi and Li Ji did have a fiery relationship when they were young.
As they grew older and their status changed, Liu Qi and Li Ji gradually became estranged. Li Ji resented Liu Qi's empathy and love, and there were more and more women who were pampered and gave birth to so many children. Liu Qi complained about Li Ji, the original innocence, simplicity and cuteness have all disappeared, and they have become more and more unreasonable.
If life is only as it first seems! The time of flowing water has changed two people. And now, each other can only, occasionally capture a trace of the first tender memories from each other.
The eldest son, Liu Rong, became the crown prince, and Li Ji raised her eyebrows, she hadn't been so happy for a long time.
One day, the palace maid came to report that the princess of the pavilion Tao came.
Kurithime pulled down her face.
The princess of the pavilion, Liu Qi, is Liu Qi's sister, and she was also born to the Empress Dowager Dou. Liu Qi became the emperor, and Liu Concubine flattered the emperor's younger brother, and presented several beauties to Liu Qi. Because of this, Kurihime's heart was not happy.
This is a stupid woman! Liu Qi is the emperor, and the beauty of Lin Xing is the prerogative of the emperor. Liu Qi is not a particularly lascivious emperor, and there are not many women in the harem. Besides, Liu Qi's wife, Empress Bo, is still on the throne, and Li Ji is just a concubine, and it is not the turn of a concubine to take care of the emperor's private life.
The eldest princess Liu Concubine came to visit Li Ji because the new prince Liu Rong had not yet married a wife, and Liu Concubine came to propose marriage and wanted to marry her daughter Chen Ajiao to Liu Rong as the crown princess.
Liu Concubine relied on the fact that she was the eldest princess and her husband was a cousin, and this family affair would definitely be successful. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and drank tea, waiting for Li Ji's reply steadily.
Princess Liu overestimated Li Ji's IQ and EQ.
"The eldest princess likes to be a matchmaker!" Li Ji said with a slight sneer: "It's not enough to send in so many beauties? This time you want to stuff your daughter into the palace to be the crown princess? Offended, our prince is not blessed to marry your Gillian. ”
Concubine Liu almost thought that her ears had heard it wrong, she raised her head in surprise and looked at Li Ji with a mocking look.
Liu Yan's face was flushed with anger, and she laughed angrily: "Don't regret it! Farewell. ”
Liu Yan put down the teacup and left, and when she got up, she was in such a hurry that the tea spilled out and splashed on the dark brocade skirt.
Li Ji looked at Liu Yan's back and let out a bad breath, "Do you want to marry your daughter into the palace as a princess and become a queen in the future?" Stop dreaming! ”
She didn't realize that the joy of this moment was at the cost of her and her son Liu Rong's future, and even her life!
