Chapter 453: Scheming (1)

The child in Liu Nan's womb is about to be born. The people in the palace knew very well in their hearts that if the child was the prince, he would definitely be taken away by Meng Xilan. She would not allow anyone to threaten the crown prince's throne, even if it was just an infant baby.

The cry of the sister suddenly came out of the apse, which made Song Qing'er's heart sink.

She walked over quickly, saw her daughter's tearful appearance, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The girl didn't speak, she just cried non-stop, as if she had a nightmare.

Song Qing'er hugged her and comforted her gently, she didn't know what was in her dream, but she knew that the result of her patience for many years was useless.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Liu Nan gave birth to a baby boy in Changqin Palace, weighing eight pounds.

Liu Nan fainted after giving birth and bled nonstop, but fortunately he was able to save half of his life.

She collapsed, and the doctors didn't say much, and she had to recuperate for half a year before she could go to the ground. This birth almost killed her, but because she gave birth to a prince, the hard work of pregnancy in October became very worthwhile.

Meng Xilan was the first person to hold a child.

This is the fattest baby she has ever seen, and the red face is still slightly purple, which shows how difficult Fang Cai's birth process is.

The lights and shadows were heavy, Zhu Lu retreated left and right, came behind the master alone, glanced at the infant child, and said softly: "Niangniang, this child has a greedy face." ”

Zhulu's tone of voice sounded cold.

Meng Xilan turned her head to look at her and asked softly, "This child has just been born, where is there any greed?" ”

Zuo is just a baby, immature and innocent.

Zhu Lu shook his head slightly: "If it is an empathetic child, you will know that you are distressed from the mother's womb!" The third prince tossed Liu Xiaozhu a lot...... It can be seen that he is not a distressed person. ”

Such a big baby is simply rare in the world, and it is simply an anomaly!

Meng Xilan chuckled and shook her head when she heard this, only to feel that this was a crooked reason.

However, she has rarely been prejudiced against people, especially a newborn baby.

Meng Xilan hugged the child for a while, then handed it to Zhu Lu and said, "Take him back to Cining Palace." ”

"Yes." Zhulu nodded yes, frowned slightly, and took the child in his hand, which was really heavy.

If the master wants to take away the child, he must have to raise it himself.

It's okay to keep it by your side and look at it in your eyes, so you can know if he is a scourge or not.

Zhou Youchen didn't care much about his third son.

He just decreed that Liu Nan was given the position of concubine. The prince's biological mother, if there is no concubine in the body, the situation is too embarrassing.

After he came to Cining Palace, he saw his third prince for the first time.

The child had already opened his eyes, and because he was too fat, the two eyes were bent into a thin slit, and the dark pupils inside were faintly visible.

Xu is the appearance of this child, which is really not very likable.

Zhou Youchen didn't even hug him, but just turned his head and said, "You really want to raise him personally?" ”

Meng Xilan saw that there was no joy on his face, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "If the emperor is not worried about the concubines, the concubines can also hand over the three princes to other concubines to raise!" ”

Zhou Youchen interrupted her and said, "I didn't mean that, I didn't want you to work too hard." ”

There's been so much going on lately.

Meng Xilan said lightly: "The third prince is the emperor's bloodline, and the concubines really don't worry about handing it over to others, even his biological mother and concubines can't trust ......."

The prince is different from the princess, the prince is the foundation of the country, and he is also uncertain and uncertain.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, it is best to hand over the three princes to the concubines." Meng Xilan said in a firm tone.

Zhou Youchen looked into her eyes and suddenly felt that there was something strange in her eyes.

Meng Xilan raised her hand to pour him tea, which was the habit of their husband and wife for many years, drinking tea and talking.

"I heard that these emperors didn't let the crown prince go to the early dynasty."

Meng Xilan asked in a calm tone.

At the mention of the crown prince, Zhou Youchen had a vague look of worry between his eyebrows.

As the crown prince approached adulthood, he began to become stubborn, and, since he got married, he no longer respected him as much as he used to.

"It's not that I won't let him go, it's that he doesn't know how to measure."

Meng Xilan pretended to sigh: "The concubine doesn't want a rift between the emperor and Changsheng. ”

"No, there's no rift between us. Changsheng is my eldest son and the crown prince, and I have always had high hopes for him! ”

Zhou Youchen swore and spoke.

If it was in the past, Meng Xilan would never suspect anything. But now, her sense of trust in people and things is very rare.

"If the emperor thinks so, the concubines will be relieved." Meng Xilan said in a soft tone: "Actually, the worry-free thing really broke Changsheng's heart, he regarded her as a sister, she was a flesh and blood relative, how could he not be sad when they were separated like this." The crown prince is not angry with the emperor, but angry with himself. ”

Meng Xilan relieved Zhou Youchen's heart a lot with just a few words.

Recently, the relationship between their father and son has indeed been very bad.

Both of them have stubborn tempers, especially Changsheng, who never spoke to his father again after confronting him.

"I'm not the same, I'm angry with myself." What Zhou Youchen cares about most is not to bow to the Turks, but to sacrifice without worry, and at the same time, he is also going to the dignity of being a father, a husband, and a king.

For a man, dignity is the most important thing.

If you lose your dignity, you lose everything.

Meng Xilan walked to his side, gently stroked his back, and said, "Your Majesty, the difficulties are only for the moment, and they will always pass." The concubine will teach Changsheng well and let him feel at ease. ”

Zhou Youchen held her hand when he heard this, and nodded slightly: "This is the best." It's just that you don't have to blame him, he's still a kid after all. ”

Meng Xilan smiled silently.

After this incident, Changsheng is no longer a child.

He knows what loss is, what regret is, what grievance and anger are!

Since the prince was three years old, Meng Xiran has been the prince's master.

As the crown prince, Meng Xiran never thought of it. When he was recommended by his sister, he expected that this would be an extremely difficult road. Fortunately, the prince gradually grew up, not as willful and naughty as before, serious and hard-working, reasonable, and never slack.

Meng Xiran saw that the prince was angry, so he could go home every night to sleep peacefully. Every day, he was afraid that he would live up to his sister's trust and delay the prince's future.

However, the days are too peaceful, and there will inevitably be twists and turns.

Because of the marriage of the princess and her relatives, a conflict broke out between the emperor and the prince for the first time.

Although it was only a small quarrel, it was enough to shock the government and the opposition.

Meng Xiran, as the prince's master and his uncle, was also implicated.

The huge pressure pressed on his heart and made him feel breathless.

His worries, Zhou Youning saw in his eyes, anxious in his heart. It's just that as a wife, she can't talk too much, which will not only not help him, but will only make him more upset.

These days, Meng Xiran taught the prince as usual, but he found that the prince's mind was not on his homework at all, he was often in a daze, and he was always absent-minded.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please repeat what Wei Chen just read."

Changsheng came back to his senses, looked at him and said, "Master, please say it again." ”

Meng Xiran was usually stern, but when he saw that he was distracted, he said, "Since Your Highness has no intention of studying, why waste time here, please go back and copy this page a hundred times." ”

Hearing this, Changsheng raised his eyes and said, "Master, copying books and punishing writing is a trick to punish children. ”

Meng Xiran looked at him and said, "Yes, but Your Highness is now making another mistake that only children can make." ”

Changsheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he only said, "Uncle, I'm just upset." ”

Meng Xiran turned around to sort out the books, took a deep breath and said, "Weichen knows that His Highness is uncomfortable these days. But you are the crown prince, and you should not let yourself up and indulge in sorrow. ”

Changsheng curled the corners of his mouth with a smile: "Uncle, I understand the truth you said." It's just that I can't do it, I'm not sad, I don't care. ”

Meng Xiran turned around again, looked at him with burning eyes, knelt on his knees, and said word by word: "Your Highness, all this will pass." Therefore, please be vigilant at all times for the sake of Niangniang, for Beiyan, and for the emperor. ”

"Recently, there have been a lot of gossips in the court, and the prince has a lot of plans for himself."

Changsheng chuckled: "Hmph, they are not going to count me, because I contradicted my father!" After speaking, he stood up and helped Meng Xiran up with his own hands: "Uncle, I have my own sense of proportion in my heart, and those who talk too much, just ignore them." ”

Meng Xiran's face was solemn: "Your Highness, don't be careless." Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, you must always keep this sentence in mind. ”

Changsheng's eyebrows moved slightly: "No, my father is my father, and I respect him...... But I'm not going to fear him like a tiger! And he did let us down, didn't he? ”

He respects him, but does not fear him. He was his father, and how could he fear him like a wild beast.

The expression on Meng Xiran's face changed again when he heard this: "Your Highness, this kind of thing is absolutely unspeakable!" ”

"Because I regard my uncle as a relative, I will say this to you."

He was upright, but he wasn't stupid.

Meng Xiran sighed helplessly: "Your Highness, not everything in this world is black and white, and the boundaries are clear. There is always something that is confusing and ambiguous. ”

Most of those misunderstandings related to life and death start with small things.

"Uncle, are you worried that your father will be angry with me?"

Meng Xiran shook his head: "No, what Weichen is worried about is that His Highness's too straightforward personality will cause His Highness to be hurt unnecessarily. ”

He is brave and courageous, but he lacks a little bit of city government and scheming.

Hearing this, Changsheng seemed to understand something, and he said in a low tone, "Father Emperor won't hurt me!" ”

Meng Xiran's heart sank slightly, and he lowered his head and said: "Your heart is unpredictable, it is always good for Your Highness to think about everything for half a step." ”
