The days that followed were peaceful, Ye Jing didn't hear anything about the princess from Prince Kang, since he didn't say it, then he pretended not to know and concentrated on raising her son.

She raised her son, Prince Kang, who was bent on developing and strengthening South Vietnam, occasionally selectively reporting the progress of their side to the capital, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

But they are not in a hurry, there are people in the capital who are in a hurry, this person is Ye Sihui, because according to the timeline of the previous life, at this time, His Majesty should be so angry that he vomits blood from the war, and then he will make Prince An the crown prince, but now His Majesty not only has no signs of illness, but is very alive and vigorous, and has no intention of establishing a prince at all, how can she not be in a hurry?

If Prince An can't be made the crown prince, then what is her forbearance over the years?

But no matter how urgent she is, she has no choice but to wait, she can only choose to believe in His Majesty, Concubine Rou and Prince An, she firmly believes that even if the process changes, even if the time point changes, the ending will not change.

And she has been waiting for nearly twenty years, what is the concept of twenty years? is that she has changed from a young girl to a grandmother, her grandchildren are about to be born, and Prince An has not yet been crowned prince.

In the past 20 years, Concubine Zhu and Concubine Rou have gradually grown old, and they have lost the grace of Your Majesty, and the little princes below have gradually grown up, and the more Your Majesty looks at Prince An and Prince Min, the more they look at him, they always feel that these two sons are looking forward to his death.

is also old, the longer he sits on this throne, the more suspicious the old emperor becomes, the eyes of no one are right, he doesn't want to die yet, he has a miracle medicine, he feels that he can live for a few more decades.

In fact, in recent years, he has increased the dosage of medicine, and he is already at the end of his crossbow, so his sons are also impetuous, especially Prince An and Prince Min, as the two people who were once the most qualified to sit in the seat, they have worked hard for half a lifetime, and this fruit must not be picked by their younger brothers.

Although the two are now under the suspicion of the old emperor, the connections and materials accumulated when they were young are not comparable to those little princes, but recently they are all striving for the support of one person, that is, Ye Si'an.

That's right, it is Ye Qiu's son Ye Si'an, because he has followed Huangming Town to guard the border over the years, Ye Qiu rarely has time to return to Beijing, but Ye Si'an often comes back when he grows up, first, the emperor summons him, and second, Ye Qiu wants his son to be filial to Aunt Lan instead of him.

After so many years, Ye Qiu's status in the old emperor's mind is even greater, and now he can be said to be the old emperor's most trusted courtier, sometimes the favor of those princes in front of the old emperor is not even as good as Ye Qiu's son Ye Si'an, an outsider.

Ye Qiu has a heavy army, if he has his support, wouldn't it be safe to compete for the throne in the future? So Ye Si'an, who recently returned to Beijing, has become the hottest candidate in the entire capital, and everyone wants to win him over.

Today, the old emperor invited Ye Si'an into the palace as usual to inspect his knowledge and martial arts before letting him go to the queen to ask for peace, watching the tall and handsome young man walk out of the hall, he was in a trance, as if he saw Ye Qiu who entered the palace for the first time to receive a reward.

"Ye Aiqing's son is well taught, one of his sons is much better than so many of my sons, one by one knows how to behave in front of me, and one by one they look forward to me dying when I am old, and then let them ascend the throne, none of them have filial piety."

These words are really heartbreaking, and Father-in-law An can't answer it, and finally a person appears in his mind.

"At least Prince Kang is sincere to His Majesty, and every year he is thinking about sending the most valuable things in South Vietnam, just now the slave heard from the people in the inner library that Prince Kang offered a night pearl salvaged from the South China Sea, and specially sent someone to send it urgently!"

The old emperor smiled when he heard this: "This kid is a solid eye, and he doesn't know what to leave for himself over the years, so he has sent it, how can he still develop South Vietnam?" ”

"Doesn't it mean that the new port has been opened to ships, and you will be able to pay taxes to the imperial court in the future?"

"You listen to him say this, this kid is not only solid-eyed, but also very face-loving, if it is not enough to pay taxes, I am afraid that he will have to pay it himself, tell me how many years he has been in the small port before he has business? Now it's hard to make two years of money, and a big port has been built, I'm afraid that all the money I made before will be put in, if it is my other prince, it is estimated that he will have to make at least a few years ago to feed his treasury before reporting taxes, he has just started, he is in a hurry, and he doesn't know where he is. Although the old emperor said in a complaining tone, he kept smiling on his face.

Gonggong An also took the opportunity to say: "Prince Kang has no heart, doesn't he know that Your Majesty is distressed?" ”

"Yes, if I don't feel sorry for him, no one will feel sorry for him, the queen is getting older and older, and the power of the harem is also stupidly handed over, it's a no-brainer, forget it, I feel a little more sorry for him, speaking of which, has he not returned to Beijing for three years?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it has indeed been almost three years since Your Majesty's Halloween three years ago."

"Then call their family back this year, I haven't seen Rui'er for a long time, that kid is the most caring, this time I will clean up the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Hall and let him live there."

Gonggong An was taken aback, and let the prince of King Kang live in His Majesty's side hall, this is a favor that no one has ever had, even the most favored Prince An has never lived, what does Your Majesty mean by this? Are you testing the princes, or are you really interested in the prince of Kang?

Gonggong An thought that if this news spread, I was afraid that the capital would be in turmoil again.

"Your Majesty cleaned up the side hall?" Ye Jing frowned, "Let's go back this time, I'm afraid it's not a lot of trouble." ”

Prince Kang's eyes burned: "Avoid these years in South Vietnam, it's time for everyone to get to know us again, my father is old, more and more dependent on the medicine, I don't know when I will be sick, I have been away for so many years, there are both losses and benefits, what I have lost is the support of those ministers for me, of course, the benefit is my father's trust in me, to put it bluntly, after so many years of hard work, my father is only unwary of me and those underage brothers." ”

"But Rui'er lives in the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, which will inevitably arouse people's jealousy." Ye Jing is a mother, and the child is the most important thing to her.

"It's okay, my father likes Rui'er more than the original third emperor's brother, with my father's protection, no one dares to think crookedly, no matter how bad it is, isn't there still that child in Si'an? He also often walks in the palace and will help Rui'er. ”

"Let's hope everything goes well!"
