Chapter 988: Choosing a Pony

The biological mother of the third prince is a good concubine, and it is also because of the birth of the third prince that the position has to be more advanced in the past, otherwise it is just a little-known little concubine, and it is absolutely impossible to share the favor with the concubine.

It's just that although these three princes are young, they are smarter and smarter than the second prince, and the emperor expects more from the three princes than from the second prince.

The ministers in this court have already been divided into several factions, and the people who support the eldest prince are the most, after all, everyone has a long brain, and the eldest prince is obviously the most favored and the most likely to inherit the throne, although he is frail and sickly, but he is clever and intelligent, and has been brought up by the emperor since he was a child, so can the relationship between father and son be the same as others?

What's more, every time the emperor falls ill, it is the eldest prince who supervises the country on his behalf, although the crown prince has not been decided, but who should the position of the prince belong to, and who can not understand?

Among the three princes, the second prince can be said to be the most mediocre in qualifications, and he can't be said to be stupid, or he is not outstanding.

If it's an ordinary child, it's not a big deal, finding an errand that can support the family, and living a smooth life is better than anything else.

But he was born in the royal family, this is a place of intrigue, if you don't think about it, you will be trampled under the feet of others, it doesn't matter if you can't turn over for the rest of your life, the most important thing is that you will lose your life, if your brother ascends the throne, can there be a good result in the future?

Although the second prince is mediocre, there are many people who support him, after all, he was born to today's concubine, in this harem, if you ask who is the most favored, of course it is the concubine.

When she entered the palace, she was named Concubine Li, and she monopolized the emperor's favor over the years, when she was still Concubine Li, she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and it didn't take long for her to seal the concubine, and then she gave birth to two children in succession, but they didn't keep it, one child was raised to three years old, and one child was just born less than half a month ago.

Those two are sons, the concubine is very sad, and her body is not as good as before, and she has never been pregnant again.

It's just that she has relied on these two children to monopolize the emperor's favor for so many years, and she is also capable.

As long as she is the biological mother, are you still afraid that her son will have a bad way out? So some people still want to put the treasure on the body of the second prince, and they follow the second prince early.

As for the third prince, his mother's family is not obvious, he is usually not too favored, and he is young, and the people who support him are the least.

But the third prince is also very smart, when he was very young, the emperor loved to take him to show off to the ministers how clever his youngest son was, but the more he got to the back, the performance of the three princes gradually became mediocre, and I don't know if Concubine Liang deliberately let him behave like this in order to keep his son, or if he really lost his previous aura.

On the contrary, just as this is the situation in China and the DPRK, these three princes have their own advantages, and the ministers have already stood in line, and the emperor is already old, but he has not set up a prince for a long time, and it is estimated that he has understood it, and after the establishment of the prince, the court and the central government are even more uneasy.

He has been an emperor for so many years, can he still not understand? Besides, he also came all the way from the road to win the heir, can he still not know what his sons are thinking?

He originally only had three sons, and if he didn't set up a prince, he could get along with each other and compete secretly, if he set up a prince, he was afraid that the other two would attack the prince, and he didn't want anything to happen to his favorite son, so he was reluctant to decide. Fly Lu

Among the three sons, the second prince's performance is the most mediocre, but the emperor cares a lot about him in the face of the concubine, as for the eldest princess, and the second prince are the same mother, the emperor only has two daughters, and one daughter was born to another concubine, who is not favored, and all his thoughts are on this eldest daughter.

The eldest princess has reached the age of twenty, but she has not yet decided on a family affair, just because no one looks down on her, and she wants to find herself a horse for a lifetime.

A few years ago, the Queen Mother wanted to set a family affair for her, for this matter, the concubine and the Queen Mother also quarreled, and now the Queen Mother has gone, the concubine looked at her daughter, and began to worry, it is time to set her a marriage, otherwise, wait for the next scientific examination, the princess's age will be a little older.

The emperor is also a little anxious, after all, the second princess is already seventeen, if the eldest princess does not marry, the second princess will not be able to marry, in this way, the two daughters have been delayed, so this year no matter what, the eldest princess must be married.

The concubine put her mind on the students of this year's scientific examination, these people are the most talented, if she can pick out a good look and knowledge, and entrust the princess to him, she can rest assured.

She went to beg the emperor, and the emperor immediately agreed. It was decreed that the students of the scientific examination could not leave Beijing, and they could not leave the capital until the princess chose a horse.

In the past two days, the emperor was sad, looking at the articles of those students, he felt that several of them were good, but he felt that the good family background was not obvious, and the princess had married, and there must be contradictions, after all, the environment in which he lived since childhood was very different.

But if the family background is good, and you really can't take it, Zhuang Yuanlang is very good, but his background is not good, and he only learns by looking at it, of course the emperor will not pick these, but now he wants to marry his precious daughter, then he has to consider some things.

After reading it for two days in a row, the emperor already knew very well what these students were doing at home, how old they were, and how the articles were written, but he still couldn't decide who to choose.

Gonggong Liu said, "Hasn't the emperor decided yet?" ”

The emperor smiled, "Alas, I have never been an indecisive character, but when it comes to this matter, I can't always make up my mind, you see, champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, these are all good, the article is very well written, I like it very much." ”

"I haven't seen it before, but I look good at Bangyan and Tanhua, but I can't decide which one is better, Liu De, you can help me pick one."

Gonggong Liu hurriedly said, "The emperor has tormented the slaves, and he chooses a horse for the princess, where are the slaves who dare to intervene, the emperor loves his daughter, so he can't decide for a long time, why don't you ask the concubine which one she has picked?" ”

The emperor nodded, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's late at this time, go to the concubine to have dinner with her, and by the way, see which one she picks, my precious girl can't be sloppy when she gets married." ”

"She feels sorry for the princess no less than me, a motherly heart, and the one she picks out must be good, so I'll listen to what she has to say."

Gonggong Liu nodded, hurriedly ordered to go down, and went to the concubine.
