The charter of the Queen Mother's trip to the north was set, and Xiao Rui's purpose of entering Beijing was half achieved.

However, the Queen Mother is easy to travel, and on the side of the four princes, the situation is more complicated.

The Yanwang Mansion welcomes the arrival of the four princes very much, and the Queen Mother also feels that if the little grandson can travel with her, he will not be lonely on the road, and he can also avoid the increasingly fierce rumors and public opinion attacks in Beijing by the way, which can be said to be the best of both worlds. But the emperor seems to have his own ideas, and he doesn't want the four princes to leave his side easily. But at the same time, he also agreed with some of the opinions of the Queen Mother and the Yan Wangfu, so he was struggling at the moment.

According to the tone revealed by the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Yongning, it is very likely that the emperor will finally let go. Even if the four princes walked around Beiping with the Queen Mother, it would only take a few months, and there would be no delay. If the emperor really plans to make this young son the new prince in the future, it is definitely a good thing to let him go around outside the capital and broaden his horizons before he is canonized. This little prince was really born and grew up in the deep palace, and he almost never even came out of the capital, and his knowledge is very shallow. This is very unfavorable for him to become a prince in the future, and even further succeed to the throne and rule the world.

When the fourth prince left the capital, the emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince or the second prince...... can let go of their hands and feet, and they don't have to think about whether their youngest son will be harmed. The four princes followed the queen mother, and there was no shortage of attendants to escort them, and the safety was absolutely guaranteed, not to mention the protection of the army under the jurisdiction of the Yan Palace, in a sense, it may be safer than in the capital!

Xiao Rui was in the capital, and he was not worried that he would not be able to invite the four princes to come to Beiping, and he also took a little effort to make friends with the four princes. The four princes didn't know if they were encouraged by the emperor, and they were very kind and friendly to Xiao Rui. Although he was once very surprised by Xiao Rui's background, once he accepted the facts, he could not hesitate to call Xiao Rui his cousin on all occasions. Compared with the deliberateness of the third prince, his closeness to Xiao Rui seemed very natural and measured, which made Xiao Rui feel that he was sincere.

Xiao Rui felt that the four princes could do this, which was very surprising. He didn't believe that a prince who had lived in the deep palace for a long time and was always facing conspiracy and fighting was really a naïve and stupid Bai Tian. If the fourth prince was just a naïve child, it would be impossible for him to get such a deep favor from the emperor, let alone convince the emperor and several important ministers that he was the most suitable candidate for the new prince. But if the fourth prince is really a smart and scheming young man, and he can still make people believe in his sincerity in words, this is admirable. Xiao Rui thinks that his advantage may just prove that he is a big man who can do things, right?

In contrast, the three princes are full of calculations, keep saying the truth, but in fact, they are doing their best to conspire behind their backs, even if they can deceive people for a while, they can't deceive people for a lifetime, and sooner or later their true colors will be exposed. In the early years, the reputation of the third prince in the court has always been very good, and the crown prince can be compared with the second prince everywhere. But now, there are not many people who still say good things about him. His repeated stupid moves have already borne the stigma among the government and the opposition, but he himself doesn't seem to be fully aware of it, just if he is still the good prince who was admired in the past, he only needs to clear his biological mother's guilt, and he can successfully replace the prince and become the prince of this country.

Xiao Rui felt that he was very happy with the four princes, so he also deliberately showed favor and made friends. The other party's appointment was understood, and he became closer. Even if he intended to seek a knighthood, the four princes also helped to say good things twice in front of the emperor.

The emperor is actually quite kind to Xiao Rui, and will care about his life in Beiping, his usual messengers, and this year's wedding. He also revealed that when Xiao Rui gets married, he will give a generous gift, which can satisfy this newly recognized nephew. Xiao Rui could perceive that the emperor really had nothing to disagree with him, but he was reluctant to officially canonize himself as a prince, not to mention the position of the prince of Yan, it was an ordinary title of county king, and he didn't want to make a decree to canonize him!

However, thanks to the blessing of the fourth prince, Xiao Rui heard the emperor's accidental leakage - he seemed to be entangled in Xiao Rui's biological mother's identity.

Xiao Rui remembered what he had discussed with his fiancée Xie Mulin, so he simply revealed some of his thoughts "unintentionally" during a casual conversation, mainly because after his "adoptive mother" Li Yaozhi became a monk in Beiping, he saw that he was less, and every time they met, he only asked him to give more incense to his "biological mother" Xiao Mingzhu and pray for blessings, and don't forget to do things to commemorate her every year, etc. Xiao Rui revealed his grievances, feeling that his "adoptive mother" was very kind to him, and he wanted to repay him, but she was unwilling to accept it, and was willing to live a cold life in the nunnery......

When the emperor heard Li Yaozhi's name this time, he didn't get angry, but sighed that she was really not easy, she had made meritorious contributions to King Yan's birth and heirs, and she had worked hard to raise Xiao Rui for many years, and she was willing to let the Queen Mother give Li Yaozhi a reward after she arrived in Beiping, such as admitting that she was the wife of King Yan, and giving her a salary every year, so that she could live a better life in the nunnery, even if she became a monk, it would not be too hard......

If the Queen Mother really made this decree, and Li Yaozhi confirmed the identity of Mrs. Yan Wang and Xiao Rui, the biological mother of Yan Wang's only son, then how should Xiao Mingzhu, the so-called "biological mother", be arranged?

Xiao Rui finally confirmed this time that the emperor did not object to giving him a knighthood, nor did he hate him, but he just didn't want to confirm that his "biological mother" Xiao Mingzhu was the concubine of King Yan.

Considering that Xiao Mingzhu was actually the emperor's beloved woman, and gave birth to an eldest son who died early for him, it is not difficult to understand the emperor's thoughts. Even if he can't give Xiao Mingzhu a name for a long time, and even the place where he is buried, he has to replace the name of others, as a man, he is really scummy, but he is reluctant to let her become someone else's woman in name and be buried as someone else's wife and concubine.

This kind of thinking is probably what Yan Wang and his wife are most angry about, right?

Xiao Rui didn't want to comment on how scumbag the emperor was to Xiao Mingzhu, but as long as he bypassed Xiao Mingzhu, the "biological mother", it was not difficult for him to achieve the goal of being knighted. Anyway, if the emperor can't give Xiao Mingzhu an exact name until he dies, when the new monarch ascends the throne, it is actually not difficult to posthumously crown Xiao Mingzhu with the title of Yan Wang's side concubine. Xiao Rui is now interested in befriending the four princes, and it is with this idea in mind. The stepmother Xiao Mingzhu died aggrieved, but she has been wronged for so many years, she must not care about waiting a few more years?

But Xiao Rui could hold such an idea with peace of mind, playing tricks in front of the emperor and the four princes, and planning the future, but he was not sure whether the Yan Wang couple would agree to his approach.
