Before the emperor had time to be happy for a few days, most of the ministers above the court began to speak, saying, "Now is a good opportunity to set up a prince, I hope the emperor will set up the prince as soon as possible." It is also good to stabilize the minds of the people, and it can also share things with the emperor. ”

"You have a point. I also think it's time to make a prince. It's just that now that Concubine Li is pregnant, I think this matter can be discussed in a few days. The emperor said in a calm voice.

General Wu stepped forward and said, "If you go back to the emperor, the prince is basically in his twenties now. This is a good time for them to exercise, and now some princes have weird thoughts, and the emperor should set up a prince as soon as possible to cut off some people's thoughts. ”

Another minister of the Great Prince's faction said, "What General Wu said is very true, and I ask the emperor to think carefully." ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed and said, "You say that some princes have bad intentions, who are they?" ”

General Wu has always been hot, he is already dozens of years old, but he can't do anything big, he has always had An Shuangchi on his head, so he naturally hopes that the eldest prince can ascend to the throne earlier, so that he can stand on An Shuangchi's head, majestic, and said, "The third prince was ordered to go to Jiangnan, Weichen was worried about the safety of the third prince, so he inquired, but he didn't expect the third prince to lose his trace in the middle, this is not ill-intentioned, what is it?" Once the third prince is far away from the capital, avoiding the emperor's eyelids, you don't know what to do. ”

He dared to say these things in front of the emperor, because he was worried that the child in Concubine Li's womb would affect the emperor's decision, and he would slander the reputation of the third prince without scruples.

The people of the Three Princes' faction stared at him, he glared triumphantly, his demeanor was flamboyant, and besides, the emperor didn't say anything, what are you talking about? What he didn't see was the storm and coldness hidden in the depths of the emperor's eyes.

The emperor said, "What Aiqing said is that the task of these three princes to go to Jiangnan was given by me, but he was nowhere to be found in the middle, and I don't know what he is doing now." ”

General Wu took the initiative to step forward and said, "The last general is willing to work for the emperor's dogs and horses, and thoroughly investigate what the three princes are doing at this time?" ”

"Okay," the emperor agreed, "worthy of my Aiqing, that is, he can share things for me." He also sent General Wu to Jiangnan, saying that it was to find out what the three princes were doing during this time.

The eldest prince has a plan in his heart, since General Wu is going to Jiangnan, it is not possible to take advantage of his hands to completely get rid of the three princes together, and then put a trumped-up charge on the three princes. The three princes don't want to come to the capital, and don't think about competing with him for the throne. The eldest prince had a smug smile on his face.

As for the matter of establishing the crown prince, it was pulled to the third prince, and no one mentioned it again.

After the next court, the emperor returned to the imperial study, and the eunuch on the side had something to say, he said, "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask it, don't hide it, I won't blame you." ”

The eunuch nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the slave sees that the third prince has always been benevolent, benevolent, kind and filial, and is not a person with a heart of rebellion, and now Concubine Li is pregnant." He will never ...... to the emperor," the eunuch's words were not finished. But the emperor understood what he was going to say, and the emperor put down the brush in his hand and said, "How long have you been serving by my side?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the servants have been serving by your side for more than twenty years. Oh, yes. ”

The emperor sighed and said, "It's been so long, and I'm getting old, and my son started what I did when I was young, taking the heir and hurting my own brother. For the sake of this throne, they can do anything, and even my queen can bear to poison and hurt me. ”

Fortunately, it was Concubine Li who was with him, and she cared about his body as the third prince. Every move of the third prince to Jiangnan will be sent to him quickly. If it is said that the third prince has a rebellious heart, the emperor is the first to disbelieve it, since he said these words, it is to make some people arrogant, and then mess up with himself, so that it is convenient for him to do things.

However, Concubine Li is pregnant now, which is really beyond the scope of his consideration, in order to stabilize Concubine Li's mind, the emperor decided to go to Concubine Li's palace, and sure enough, seeing Concubine Li's pale and haggard look, the emperor was very angry and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't tell Concubine Li about the ups and downs outside?" Is it because I cut off your heads that people will have a better memory? ”

The palace people suddenly lay on the ground and said in fear, "If you go back to the emperor, the slaves and maids don't dare to say a word, right...... It's ......"

Their hesitant appearance made them even more upset by the emperor's eyes, and said, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly." The palace maids gritted their teeth and said ruthlessly, "If you go back to the emperor, it was the queen mother who came before and drove the slaves and maids outside the house." When the slaves and maids went in, they found Concubine Li. Sad, but the slave can't stop the queen! ”

Empress! It's the queen again! The emperor kept gritting his teeth angrily, where did the gentle and generous queen before him go? He strode to the palace, hugged Concubine Li and said, "I believe that the third prince will not rebel." ”

Concubine Li really raised her head, after she became pregnant, she was even more sentimental, and a little thing could make her cry. Now he couldn't help but bury his emotions in the emperor's chest, cried out and said, "Your Majesty, you must know that the three princes have no disagreement with you, and the concubines also agree no matter what decision you make, but I just hope that the emperor will believe in the three princes." A concubine can swear by the child in her belly. ”

"Alright, don't say it, I know it." For the first time, the emperor said what was in his heart to Concubine Li, "I know that the third prince is a good boy. This time, the third prince was asked to go to Jiangnan, just to keep him away from the rights and wrongs of the capital. Some things should have been settled while he was away. ”

Concubine Li raised her head and looked at the emperor in astonishment, she didn't seem to understand.

The emperor sighed and said, "I can see their performance. Know who is good to me and who is bad to me. I've already made a judgment on some things. You can raise your baby with peace of mind! Be kind to you and the baby in your belly. Concubine Li nodded.

The next day, General Wu was about to embark on the road to Jiangnan Road, when the eldest prince and his concubine Wu Zheng went to send their hearts, and Concubine Wu Zheng cried.

General Wu said to the eldest prince, "The eldest prince, the lower officials are willing to smear your liver and brains, and you should also treat my daughter well." The eldest prince nodded and said, don't worry, general! I'll be sure to treat your daughter well. He lowered his voice and said, "But you must also do the things that the two of us discussed." ”

General Wu nodded knowingly and said, "I will definitely do what the eldest prince explained, isn't it just to find an opportunity......

His hand was raised, and he made a motion to wipe his neck, and the eldest prince and General Wu smiled tacitly. Because of General Wu's great help, the eldest prince's attitude towards Concubine Wuzheng was much better.

When he returned to his prince's mansion with Concubine Wu Zheng, he couldn't help but start having fun during the day, and when his physical strength was found to be gone, he fell asleep side by side with Concubine Wu Zheng.

Concubine Wu Zheng exhaled and said to the eldest prince, "Congratulations to the eldest prince, congratulations to the eldest prince." ”

"Where does the joy come from?" The eldest prince asked suspiciously. "Sister Chunyu is pregnant now, the first child in our house, the eldest prince, shouldn't you be happy that you want to be a father?"

The eldest prince was stunned, he forgot the existence of Chunyu, could it be that he had a son that night? The eldest prince was naturally happy, and the look on his face was undisguised. Concubine Wu Zheng discussed, "You see that Sister Chunyu is pregnant. It's better to give her an identity as a side concubine in the mansion. ”

The eldest prince frowned and said, "Her status is only afraid of being a side concubine, which is a little inappropriate." Concubine Wu Zheng said, "But Spring Rain is the mother of your first child after all." If he is born as a boy, he must have some status as his mother. Besides, Sister Chunyu has been serving by your side since she was a child. There is no merit and hard work. Giving her the status of a side concubine is not a disadvantage to her. ”

The eldest prince thought about it and felt that what Concubine Wu Zheng said was really good, so he agreed.

Chunyu became a side concubine, and it quickly spread throughout the prince's mansion. Chunyu was very happy, and Lin Chen'er angrily swept all the things on the table. A person born as a slave maid actually became a side concubine on an equal footing with her.

Didn't Concubine Wu Zheng take advantage of the spring rain to hit him in the face? This is excessive. Lin Chen's stomach was about to explode. But she could only hold back this breath, and she couldn't find the prince to complain, otherwise she would become a jealous woman again.

When the news reached Hua Qianqian's yard, Hua Qianqian and Mo Qingrou were both obviously stunned, "Chunyu has life." It seems that the eldest prince is finally a little more powerful. ”

Mo said softly to Hua Qianqian, "Now the eldest prince's mansion is really going to be chaotic." ”

"Why do you say that?" Hua Qianqian asked suspiciously, "There is the most right and wrong between women, but around the competition for favor, there are more rights and wrongs between children." The eldest prince was the longest when he rested in Lin Chen'er's courtyard. But now the one who is pregnant first is actually a lowly maid. Lin Chen'er absolutely couldn't tolerate him. But this is the first child of the eldest prince. If the child is gone. What do you think the Great Prince will think? ”

"I heard that the attention of Chunyu becoming a side concubine was paid by Concubine Wuzheng. If Lin Chen'er wants to do something, it is to fight against Concubine Wu Zheng. The drama between several women is a good opportunity to destroy the backyard of the eldest prince, doesn't he want fame? The woman he worked so hard to marry would ruin his reputation. ”
