Chapter 3 Crown Prince

The fourth year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (153 BC)

In the afternoon of Xia Yue, the knowledge on the trees kept calling, which made many people irritable for no reason.

Mrs. Wang's wife Wang Erjiao hurriedly walked into the Hongning Hall and found Wang Beauty, Wang Huan, in the inner hall. She frowned, and asked a little anxiously: "Sister, do you know that Your Majesty has decreed that Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, will be the crown prince?" ”

Wang Wan took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat from her sideburns for Wang Erjiao, and scolded with a smile: "Erjiao, I gave birth to two princes for Your Majesty, how can I still look like a girl's family, I was shocked, like something!" ”

"Sister, Mrs. Li is jealous and has always hated us, and now that her son is the prince, what if she is ...... in the future Yes! Wang Erjiao said to herself, but Wang Wan stepped on her feet lightly, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"You can all stand down first!" Wang Wan glared at Wang Erjiao and waved away the palace maid and chamberlain in the room.

Wang Erjiao also understood at this time, and was a little afraid of her open-mouthed just now, her pretty face was flushed, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

"That's it! Don't pretend again, I don't know what your surname is? Wang Wan didn't eat her at all, sat on the couch, picked up the chilled plum soup on the dining table, took a small sip, and tasted the refreshing pleasure.

Wang Erjiao spat out her delicate little tongue and sat down with it. I took a bowl of plum soup and poured it all down in one go, burping happily. was about to continue to serve another bowl, but was slapped away by Wang Huan's hand.

"Sister, it's stingy!" Wang Erjiao pursed her lips, her face full of displeasure, "Your Majesty is the most partial, and I send any good things to my sister, I haven't drunk chilled plum soup for more than half a month!" ”

"Okay, aren't you afraid that you will drink in a hurry and hurt your stomach?" Wang Wan smiled, although her sister had no heart and lungs all day long, shouting and screaming, but Emperor Jing liked her simple surname the most.

Wang Wan filled a small half bowl of plum soup, handed it over, and advised: "Erjiao, in the future, you are not allowed to speak ill of Mrs. Li in front of Your Majesty, you know?" ”

Wang Erjiao looked at Wang Huan's serious face, a little puzzled, but nodded helplessly in agreement. The eldest sister is like a mother, in this secluded deep palace inner courtyard, the only thing she can rely on is her sister. She knows very well in her heart that when it comes to calculating, ten of them are not as good as Wang Wan when they are tied up. It's not that Wang Er's concubine is stupid, it's just that her surname is straightforward, her likes and dislikes are all written on her face, and she can't hide things in her heart.

"Eh, you can't control your mouth, and my sister can't tell you a lot of things. You just need to know that your sister will never harm you. Wang Wan shook her head and continued: "Recently, I have rarely been out of the Gui Palace, and I have stayed in your Mingguang Palace honestly, and I came to me in a panic. ”

Wang Erjiao's brows tightened, obviously a little unhappy, she was an idle person.

Wang Wan seemed to think of something, took out a three-foot square box from under the pillow, and handed it to Wang Erji: "Yesterday, Yu'er made another gadget, saying that it was for me to use for leisure, which is very interesting." ”

Wang Erjiao first took the box with excitement on her face, but immediately pursed her lips: "In the end, it is my aunt who is the dearest, and I love to hide my secrets, and I leave any good things to my sister." Last time, in order to exchange for his beast chess, it cost me a lot of agate! ”

"It's really against my aunt's heart to say this behind my back!" A crisp voice came from outside the door, and Xiao Liu Yu, dressed in a black practice uniform, walked in leisurely.

Hee-hee......

Wang Erjiao didn't have the slightest shame of being caught for saying bad things behind her back, she rushed over with a smile, hugged Liu Yu, kissed him his fleshy little face, and rubbed him around like a puppet.

Liu Yu's little face immediately turned red, obviously unable to stand this kind of glamorous blessing. In his last life, he lived to be thirty years old, but he was still a virgin, and his love life was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. Now Leng Buding has become a child, being hugged and kissed by these peerless beauties in the harem/harem, even if it has been four years, there will still be a little uncomfortable.

"Alright, put her down." Wang Wan stretched out her hand and slapped her son, who was almost foaming at the mouth.

Wang Wan picked up a handkerchief to help Liu Yu wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said distressedly: "On a hot day, why are you still practicing martial arts?" ”

"Practice three dogs in summer, practice three nines in winter, don't worry about grandma." Liu Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the plum soup on the table, he filled a big bowl, tilted his neck, poured it all into his mouth, and burped happily.

"Look at you! It's all ruined by my babes! Wang Wan looked at Liu Yu, who did not have the image of a prince at all, and scolded Wang Erjiao on the side: "Even drinking plum soup is a lazy appearance with you, and you will come to my Hongning Hall less in the future!" ”

Wang Erjiao couldn't cry or laugh, with a look of grievance.

Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh, and secretly said that his mother was mighty! Ping, this aunt is a lawless lord, and even her father Jing Yanjing can't do anything about her. Only in front of Wang Huan, he was obedient like a little rabbit and never dared to reply.

"Okay, auntie, don't pretend. The thing that my mother gave you is called checkers, and my aunt is making a lot of money today. Liu Yu saw the box in her hand, and her face was full of pain.

"Cut~~ Is it worth more than the agate I gave you last time?" Wang Erjiao said with disdain, put the box on the couch, and couldn't wait to open it to check.

Hmph, Wang Erji's eyes lit up instantly.

Not to mention the chessboard made of golden silk nanmu for the time being, six different colors of agate beads blinded her eyes, white, gray, red, blue, green, yellow. Women are inherently not resistant to shiny jewelry, and it is absolutely stunning to have so many agate beads of the same size polished together. Even Liu Yu, the maker, is drooling, this set of checkers will be placed in the future generations, and the villa will not be replaced.

"Mother, since my aunt can't bear her agate, let's pay her back two pieces, let's keep this checkers." Liu Yu quipped to Wang Huan.

"Well, Biao'er has a point." Wang Wan nodded, seemingly seriously considering.

"No! It's mine! When Wang Erjiao heard this, she threw herself on the couch and protected the box under her. Seeing her nervous face, Liu Yu's mother and son laughed.

The three of them joked with each other for a while, and then set up the chessboard, and under the guidance of Liu Yu, the two Wang Wan sisters began to learn to play checkers. The two sisters are indeed very intelligent, and they quickly got started, and they were firmly attracted by this novel game, and they enjoyed playing for a while.

In the main hall of Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager Dou looked unhappy.

Now that the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong has been made the crown prince, King Liang has lost hope of becoming the prince, and the Empress Dowager Dou understands that she was played by her eldest son, Emperor Jing of Han. Looking at the prince who came to ask for peace, this eldest grandson who has never liked him, couldn't help but feel irritated in his heart.

"Prince, why didn't your grandmother come?" Empress Dowager Dou asked.

The crown prince Liu Rong's face darkened, and he bowed his head and replied: "Back to the imperial grandmother, my grandmother has recently said that she is a little unwell, and she is afraid of losing her honor in front of the imperial grandmother, so she ......."

"Oh? Lady, didn't you go to Zhaoyang Hall yesterday? Why didn't you mention this to the mourning family? Empress Dowager Dou interrupted him and turned her head to look at the princess Liu Liang on the side.

"Humph! Mrs. Li is a big family, and her body is naturally delicate, how can a person like a child be as cheap, but she is strong and strong. Princess Guantao pursed her lips, unimpressed.

"Hugh is talking nonsense! You are the daughter of the first emperor and the sister of the emperor, how can you say that you are cheap! Empress Dowager Dou was furious, slapped the table in front of her, and scolded.

Princess Guantao's eyes were filled with tears, and she said aggrievedly: "Mrs. Li is now the biological mother of the prince, and her son is only married to a small marquis of Tangyi, and there are less than 1,000 households in the fiefdom, and her identity cannot be compared." ”

Empress Dowager Dou was silent for a long time, she was born poor, she was a small palace maid, and she had no power in her family. When Princess Guantao came out of the pavilion, she was just a wife of Emperor Wen, and she could only listen to Emperor Wen marrying her daughter to the mediocre Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu.

The crown prince Liu Rong saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Auntie is afraid that she has misunderstood, and Auntie definitely has no intention of underestimating Auntie." If something is done inappropriately and offends the aunt, the nephew makes amends for the aunt. "When you finish speaking, you have to bend down.

Princess Guantao moved two steps sideways, avoided Liu Rong's salute, and sneered: "The slave family can't afford the prince's gift, come and say that the nephew ascends the throne of God and can save the slave family's surname, and the slave family is grateful." ”

Empress Dowager Dou raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and when she saw that her daughter had something to say, she reprimanded: "Crazy woman! Blame the mother for being ruthless again. ”

After the Empress Dowager Dou finished speaking, she ignored the unwilling Princess Guantao, and said to the embarrassed and confused prince: "The prince will go back first and take good care of your grandmother." ”

The crown prince Liu Rongru was granted amnesty and immediately retired.

"Tell me, how did Kurihime offend you?" Empress Dowager Dou waited for the prince to walk away, and asked faintly.

Princess Guantao twisted for a long time, but never said a word.

"Humph! Why don't you dare to say it? Empress Dowager Dou sneered: "Don't think that the old mourning family is dizzy and can't see your careful thoughts. Yesterday, you went to Zhaoyang Palace, did you want your Gillian to be the crown princess? Li Ji is jealous, and you often offer beautiful women to the emperor, she must not have a good impression of you at all, how can she promise you? It's going to make you laugh at you. ”

Princess Guantao froze, and sure enough, Jiang was old and spicy, and she guessed exactly right, her face was flushed, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Hey, it's hard for you. If the Marquis of Tangyi is a point of competition, you don't need to work so hard to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. Seeing her daughter at a loss, the old lady's heart softened, "Actually, Yu'er is also good, very smart, and deeply loved by the emperor, he was named the king of Jiaodong at the age of four, and he was a good match for Gillian." ”

At the mention of Xiao Liu Yu, the old lady's face showed a smile, she loved this sensible and well-behaved filial grandson, and she was tired when she didn't see her for a few days. At this time, he was not in a good mood, but he was even more panicked, and hurriedly ordered the personal palace maid to go to Gui Palace to pick up Liu Yu.

When Princess Guantao heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she stood aside thoughtfully, looking at the old queen mother who kept instructing the eunuchs and palace maids to prepare pastries and toys for Xiao Liu Yu in advance, making the entire Changle Palace jump and be tired.
