Chapter 274: Brother to Brother, Brother to Nephew

Xie Qingwan smiled: "What Niangniang said is true." ”

"Niangniang, Qing'er knows what you are worried about, this time King Zhao has made a great contribution, Your Majesty is happy, maybe he will be canonized as the crown prince, so Niangniang, you are worried."

Concubine Xie Shu nodded, and said with a straight face: "Yes, this palace can tolerate Concubine Ye De jumping in the harem, but this palace must not let King Zhao become the crown prince, once he becomes the crown prince, then the situation in the court will be decided." ”

If Zhao Tianlin is canonized as the crown prince, then he will become the center of the court, and the ministers will stand on the side of King Zhao, because he is the next emperor who is rightfully named.

"Actually, you really don't need to worry about this, mother." Xie Qing raised his lips and chuckled, "It is impossible for Your Majesty to be crowned prince. ”

Concubine Xie frowned slightly: "Why?" Hasn't Your Majesty chosen which prince it is? ”

But judging from Emperor Yongqing's performance, he clearly values King Zhao more than King Yi. Otherwise, he would not have given such a good errand to King Zhao.

"Niangniang, have you forgotten, how did Your Majesty get the throne?" Xie Qing's tone was light.

"Your Majesty's throne was passed to him by the first emperor." Concubine Xie Shu doesn't know why, Xie Qing has something to say?

Xie Qing Zhengse said: "Your Majesty's throne was passed to him by the first emperor, who is the first emperor?" The first emperor is His Majesty's brother-in-law, and when the first emperor passed it to His Majesty, he said that after a hundred years of His Majesty, he would pass the throne to His Royal Highness King Qi, the son of the first emperor. ”

His Royal Highness King Qi?

Concubine Xie Shu was shocked: "How do you know this!" ”

This matter is rarely mentioned, if it weren't for Xie Qing mentioning it today, Concubine Xie Shu would have almost forgotten that there is still a His Royal Highness King Qi in Dayue.

No matter how smart Xie Qing is, she is just a teenage girl, and she actually knows about this? Concubine Xie Shu's gaze at Xie Qing was a little deep.

"Concubine Shuniang, you don't have to look at Qing'er with such eyes, although few people mention His Royal Highness King Qi now, it doesn't mean that Qing'er hasn't heard of him." Xie Qing said without changing his face.

That's right, the throne is going to be passed to King Qi, the son of the first emperor, and this matter is rarely mentioned, but Emperor Yongqing did not explicitly prohibit it and blocked the news. Is it just the emperor's heart, the courtiers will naturally speculate, who is willing to pass on their throne to their nephew, not their son?

"Why do you think Your Majesty hasn't made a crown prince for so many years?" Xie Qing's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Is it just because Da Yue doesn't have a prince?"

The corners of Xie Qing's lips curled into a chuckle.

Concubine Xie Shufei frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought, "You mean, Your Majesty didn't appoint the crown prince because of King Qi?" ”

"Yes, because His Royal Highness King Qi has traveled abroad all the year round and has never returned to Beijing, no one in the court and the central government has taken the initiative to mention this matter, but once His Majesty says that he wants to appoint the crown prince, the old ministers of the court who have gone through two generations of kings can sit still?"

When he spoke, Xie Qing shook his head to himself: "The old ministers pay the most attention to etiquette and morality, Your Majesty's throne was passed to him by the first emperor, and the first emperor said before his death that His Majesty would pass the throne to His Royal Highness King Qi after a hundred years, if Your Majesty does not do this, it will be a breach of trust in the first emperor." ”

After Xie Qing's reminder, Concubine Xie Shu suddenly realized and said: "I see, Your Majesty is worried about those old ministers in the court. ”

"That's why Qing'er said Niangniang, you don't need to worry about the issue of establishing a prince, Niangniang, you just need to quietly remind the old ministers, and King Zhao will definitely not be able to sit in the position of the prince."

The corners of Xie Qing's lips lifted slightly, and his face became more and more calm.

"But......" Concubine Xie Shu's brows furrowed slightly, "If someone mentions His Royal Highness King Qi, then Yi'er can't be the crown prince yet." ”

King Zhao couldn't sit down, and King Yi couldn't sit either, and he had an extra opponent for no reason.

"A King Zhao is already a headache, why should this palace turn out the opponent of His Royal Highness King Qi again."

Concubine Xie Shu didn't blindly follow Xie Qing's train of thought, King Zhao was King Yi's opponent, and King Qi was the same.

Xie Qing shook his head and chuckled: "In Qing'er's opinion, you are a mediocre person. Where is King Qi now? And do you think His Majesty will pass the throne to his nephew? ”

King Qi and King Yi are not opponents at all, and King Qi's biggest opponent is not the princes, but the one sitting on the dragon chair right now.

Concubine Xie Shu pondered for a moment before she nodded: "What you said has some truth, however, Your Majesty is reluctant to mention King Qi, but this palace has done so, if Your Majesty knows about it, then the life of this palace will not be easy." ”

Poof!

Xie Qing couldn't help laughing, "Niangniang, you are the lady concubine in the palace, and there is the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion behind you, can't you do this little thing?" Mother, when did you start to become so unconfident? ”

After doing such things as winning over the courtiers, why should he worry that his actions would be discovered.

Concubine Xie raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and said, "It's not that this palace is not confident, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and this palace has to be cautious." ”

As she spoke, Concubine Xie Shufei's gaze fell on Xie Qing: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and you are the same." ”

Who else can you trust but yourself?

"Qing'er knows, it doesn't matter if you believe Qing'er or not, Qing'er is just a woman, Qing'er just does what she wants to do." Xie Qing smiled lightly and spit out softly.

What she wants to do is to kill the people of King Zhao's lineage, and Concubine Xie Shu, if she wants to support King Qi to ascend the throne, it depends on whether Concubine Xie Shu is willing to give way, but this matter has not yet been put on the table, and King Qi wants to ascend the throne, so he naturally has his own ability, and he doesn't need her to make a move.

Concubine Xie Shu didn't know that Xie Qing and King Qi still had some kind of connection, she only thought that Xie Qing was a woman, and what she should do was nothing more than to marry a wishful husband and be prosperous and rich for a lifetime.

"Qing'er, when is your marriage with Yun Shizi set?" Concubine Xie asked.

Since Xie Qing helped her come up with an idea, why did she have to care for a few words?

"It's the sixth day of the next month, and it's time to get married." A shy smile appeared on the corner of Xie Qing's lips. The posture of the daughter's family is full.

Concubine Xie nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, Yun Shizi treats you well, Qing'er, you are a blessed one." As women, it is a kind of happiness to be able to marry someone who is truly good to us. ”

"What Niangniang said is that it is Qing'er's blessing to be able to marry Yun Shizi."

Xie Qing believes that this is really Concubine Xie Shu's heartfelt words. Rao is Concubine Xie Shu is a concubine in the palace, her position is also high, and Emperor Yongqing can be regarded as favoring her, but in this palace wall, there are battles everywhere, you come and go, you cheat me, and you never get tired of it, Concubine Xie Shu's heart may not be really happy.

"This palace is still the same sentence, Qing'er, you have helped this palace a lot, this palace will be grateful to my heart, and this palace will also support you in the future." Concubine Xie said.

Xie Qing nodded: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

When people said it, she nodded and said, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, there is no need to say it so dead now.

"Qing'er looked at her mother and frowned, and she still seemed to be unhappy." Xie Qing said cautiously.

Concubine Xie Shu raised her hand and touched her brows, and said: "How can this palace be happy, even if Your Majesty will not make a prince, but Your Majesty's favor for Concubine Ye De and King Zhao has always been there, and this palace is always uncomfortable." ”

"Actually, it's not impossible for you to compete for favor." Xie Qing's voice was slightly low.

"What's the solution?" Concubine Xie looked at Xie Qing.

The corners of Xie Qing's lips pursed lightly, and said, "Qing'er has already mentioned it to Niangniang, but Niangniang doesn't allow Qing'er to mention it again." ”

Concubine Xie Shu's face changed suddenly: "You don't have to say it, this palace is not allowed to mention it again." ”

Xie Qing curtsied at Concubine Xie Shu: "Don't be angry, Qing'er doesn't mention it, but there is one thing, Qing'er thinks she should tell her mother." ”

"The last time Qing'er went to Shuiyue Nunnery, she encountered an accident, and the person who kidnapped Qing'er said that her name was Xie Rongsang."

Syllable!

The teacup in Concubine Xie Shufei's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"What did you say!" Concubine Xie's eyes were full of disbelief.

Xie Qing bowed down and replied, "Qing'er doesn't dare to deceive Niangniang, it's true." ”

"No way, that woman is obviously dead." Concubine Xie Shu's brows furrowed, and she suddenly looked at Xie Qing, "Are you sure it's Xie Rongsang?" ”

Xie Qing shook her head: "Niangniang, you forgot, Xie Qing doesn't know Xie Rongsang, how can she be sure, it's just that she said it herself." ”

"Xie Rongsang......" Concubine Xie muttered.

Her eyes were full of shock, panic, and hatred.

After a long time, Concubine Xie Shu raised her eyes and looked at Xie Qing: "How much do you know about Xie Rongsang?" ”

Her tone was cold, and her expression had returned to calm.

Xie Qing replied: "I only know that she is a sinner, and she can't see the light, and she is an adopted child of the Xie family, so it should be your sister." ”

"How do you know that?" Concubine Xie didn't say anything else, but asked this first.

"It was Qing'er who pestered her grandmother, and her grandmother told Qing'er, and her grandmother repeatedly explained that Qing'er couldn't tell her about it."

Concubine Xie's eyes condensed slightly, and she said, "Do you want to know more?" ”

At this time, Concubine Xie Shufei's mind had regained clarity, and she didn't think that Xie Qing was mentioning Xie Rongsang at this time, not without purpose.

I don't know when Concubine Xie Shu no longer underestimated Xie Qing.

If it comes to calculation, Concubine Xie herself has to admit that she is probably not Xie Qing's opponent. Xie Qing's calculating methods are weird, unexpected, and unguardable, which is why she asked Xie Qing to deal with Concubine Ye De.

"Xie Rongsang wants to kill Qing'er, so Qing'er naturally wants to know what is going on, last time Qing'er was lucky and escaped, but what about the next time? Qing'er can't guarantee that she will be just as lucky. Xie Qing said lightly.

She still knows too little about Xie Rongsang, and it would be good if she could know a thing or two from Concubine Xie Shu.

"That woman is a madman, and her actions are always weird, and if you want to live well, the best thing to do is to kill her." Concubine Xie bit the last three words hard.
