Hu Shanxiang took his daughter to the Qianqing Palace to ask for the early establishment of the prince, and it didn't take long for it to reach the ears of the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace. After all, it is the decision of major military affairs, and Zhu Zhanji often has to ask the empress dowager for instructions, coupled with the edict of the first emperor, when the cabinet presents it to the Qianqing Palace, it often submits an abridgement to the empress dowager of Ciqing Palace.

This time, she neither asked people to go to the Qianqing Palace to invite Zhu Zhanji, nor did she get angry, and was silent for a long time before she said, "Go and invite the queen over." ”

Although the queen mother gave birth to three sons and a daughter, in her early years, her heart was more to help Zhu Gaochi stabilize her position, to be respectful and filial to the top, to be modest and cautious, and to manage many concubines internally, the thoughts of the children are really limited.

For this eldest grandson, he made up for the guilt of the first child to his children, and no matter how much it hurts, it is not enough.

Although she prefers it, she still thinks it is too early to talk about the establishment of a prince. has such a mind, how could Hu Shanxiang, as the queen, take the initiative to persuade Zhu Zhanji to become the prince? Aren't you worried that after two years, she will give birth to a sister-in-law by herself, and the situation has been decided?

Besides, she should know that she pays attention to the queen of the Yuan and the concubine, and thinks that only the son-in-law can inherit the unification, although this time is not stronger than the situation, after all, the emperor has only got a son now, but it doesn't mean that the prince needs to be established early?

It is not necessarily a good thing to give too many blessings to the child, even if you want to stand up, it is not too late to wait for the eldest son of the emperor to be ten years old.

Although the gentle and humble queen is not the emperor's heart, coupled with her weak body, she died a child, but she is afraid that if she is pregnant again, she will have to wait for a year or two, but it is not impossible to conceive another one.

Isn't she worried about the eldest son of the emperor three or two years after he became the crown prince, what should she do if she gave birth to a sister-in-law? Although it is inevitable that there will be some turmoil when the prince is established in the future, the queen mother feels that as long as the emperor's position is stable, he should be able to control it.

No matter how you look at it, the queen mother felt that it was too early to establish a prince at this time, especially because the queen took the initiative to mention this matter to the emperor without discussing it with her, which was really unexpected by her.

After listening to the queen mother's question, the queen stood up unhurriedly and said with a smile: "What the queen mother said is right, the concubine didn't think about it so much before, but she just felt that the anger in this palace was too heavy, and it was easy to have such a happy event as the emperor's eldest son, and it was necessary to tell the world to celebrate together." The concubine didn't have much knowledge, and asked the queen mother to decide. ”

"Decided?" The Queen Mother rubbed her brows, "You have told the emperor that you want to make a decision for the mourning family?" Queen, you are really confused, the mourning family knows, you have just experienced the pain of losing a child, and you are disheartened for a while, thinking that you will follow the emperor's will, do not fight or win, and live your own pure life, but have you thought about it, although this move can make the emperor happy, but it is very unfavorable to your own situation, don't you know that this set up the emperor's eldest son as the prince, even if you give birth to a son-in-law in the future, there is no way to turn it over? ”

The queen was silent for a moment, "The concubine has thought about it, but the concubine's body is just like this, the concubine is unblessed, the imperial concubine and the concubine are pregnant one after another, and they die in one life, which is enough to show that the will of heaven is so." Queen Mother, you will follow the concubine's and agree to the emperor's invitation, why bother to let your mother and son be separated for the sake of the concubine? Moreover, the early establishment of the prince will make the country solid early, and it will also save others from coveting. ”

"The mourning family knows that you are afraid that the emperor's stubbornness will come up, and the mourning family will not be able to step down, but this matter, you should discuss it with the mourning family, at this time, your emperor and queen are of the same heart, how can the mourning family deal with themselves? Do you still want to use the words of the ministers to persuade the emperor? The son of the imperial concubine, after all, is not your son, you persuade the emperor to appoint her son as the crown prince, what will you do in the future? ”

Seeing the disappointment in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Hu Shanxiang showed forgiveness, "Queen Mother, it is the concubine who is inappropriate and owes consideration." But you don't care about this matter, isn't the child of the imperial concubine also the child of the concubine? How can I say that the concubines are all his mothers-in-law, is it possible that he will not be filial in the future? The emperor's thoughts, the queen mother and the concubines all understand, why should we insist on going against his will? ”

The queen mother looked at the queen's eyes and looked at her appearance, her heart softened, she didn't know that Hu Shanxiang was telling the truth: it is imperative to establish the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince, the queen does not mention it, and there will be other people who will see the emperor's intentions and take this head. But in my heart, thinking of this righteous and orthodox reputation, I turned a corner when I arrived at the emperor, and I was still a little uncomfortable in my heart.

She looked at the queen and sighed: "Although the peony flower is beautiful, it is not a peony in the end, you have to have a peony flower to bloom and peduncle, I am afraid that the emperor may not be grateful for your virtue, but will have Longwangshu." ”

Hu Shanxiang smiled and said, "Didn't the queen mother have a gambling contract with the emperor before?" Now that the imperial concubine has given birth to the eldest son, the appearance of the concubine is the will of heaven. At that point, it is only a matter of time or time, the concubine can't think about it so much, I just hope that there is such a thing, the emperor can take care of our mother and daughter, even if the imperial concubine is established, our life will not be too sad. ”

"Isn't there a mourning family here? There is a mourning family, what are you afraid of, whether the emperor is a prince or a queen, he has to pass the mourning family. ”

Seeing the Queen Mother, whose sideburns were already a little white, Hu Shanxiang was sad for a while, "The Queen Mother is right, you are forcing the emperor, for filial piety, he can't help it, but your mother and son will be centrifuged." The queen mother didn't know in her heart that this world was the emperor after all, and the love between mother and son was no bigger than the gift of the monarch and the minister. The concubine doesn't want you to have a relationship with the emperor for this matter. No matter who you make the crown prince or who you are the queen, aren't they all your grandsons and daughters-in-law? Over the years, she has been loved and treated favorably by her mother, just like her own mother and daughter, and the concubine has felt fortunate to have three lives, and she has no regrets. Queen Mother, in this matter, you will follow the concubine and go up with the emperor. ”

The Queen Mother didn't nod or shake her head, just looked at Hu Shanxiang and sighed, "You kid, you have such a good heart, why did you enter the palace, but when you meet the emperor, you have no heart, and you can't cover it ...... hot."

If before, Hu Shanxiang would have shed tears when he heard this, but now he just smiled.

"Queen Mother, since you are going to agree to make the emperor's eldest son the crown prince, there is still something for the concubines, please decide the queen mother......

After listening to what Hu Shanxiang said, the Queen Mother shook her head again and again, "No, no, although she is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, she accepts the eight bows of the ministers, which is a etiquette that only the queen can accept. ”

Hu Shanxiang stood up and knelt on the ground, "Queen Mother, if you don't agree, the concubine won't be able to kneel for a long time." Since the imperial concubine is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, when the crown prince is established, she should receive such a gift, otherwise, when the prince grows up in the future, won't he be wronged by his biological mother? With this grievance, he will inevitably blame the concubine for not giving his biological mother face, the queen mother, you should be a concubine, agree. ”

Seeing that Hu Shanxiang couldn't afford it, the Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, the mourning family is old, no matter what happens to you, just toss it." ”

After thinking about it, she asked someone to take out the hairpin of the red golden peony, only to see that the peony on the hairpin was full of gold wires, and among the twelve major leaves coiled, there were also curved leaves, and on each leaf, with gold threads, decorated with jade beads, the whole flower looked fragrant and orchid, very good-looking.

"Send this hairpin to Changning Palace, reward it to the imperial concubine, let her take care of her body, and prepare for the prince's ceremony. Tell her that this is the queen's invitation to the emperor to intercede at the mourning house, and tell her not to forget the queen's kindness. ”

rewarded the imperial concubine, and the queen mother ordered someone to take a lot of treasures and reward them to the queen.

Hu Shanxiang laughed, "The concubine just obeyed the emperor's wishes, and got these many benefits, not to mention the various rewards, the queen mother, even the emperor was there, and also gave the concubine's father a thousand hectares of fertile land, which shows that the emperor's eldest son is a blessed one, and with him, even the concubine can get many benefits." ”

When the queen said this, the queen mother felt more and more pity for her, "The mourning family knows that you are not happy in your heart, but at this time, you will comfort yourself so much, you are really sensible." That's it, let's not talk about these things, the mourning family recently got a volume of the Jizo Sutra handcopied by Master Huijin, you come and take a look, take it back and recite it in the morning and evening, just pray for the bitter grandson of the mourning family. ”

*

On the sixth day of the second month of the third year of Xuande, the emperor decreed that the eldest son Qi Zhen was appointed as the crown prince.

At this time, it was less than four months before the birth of the emperor's eldest son, and the imperial concubine Sun Qingyang had only celebrated her twenty-sixth birthday three days ago. Now, at the age of 28, she is the age of flowers.

Knowing that the queen asked for the early establishment of the prince, Sun Qingyang also repeatedly dissuaded him, saying that the queen is young, and sooner or later she will have a son-in-law, and she should not be the eldest son of the emperor.

And this style, in the eyes of some people, is just that she is coy.

In the Fengxian Palace, the civil and military officials have court clothes to congratulate Chen, under the guidance of the inner servants, first to the queen mother eight bows, and then to the queen eight bows, and so on to the concubine eight bows, although everyone is a little suspicious, but also respectful.

When the queen mother, queen, and imperial concubine wore ceremonial clothes in the inner hall to receive eight congratulatory gifts from the internal and external women, some people privately discussed, "Since ancient times, I thought that it was the queen mother that the queen could receive these eight bows. Could it be that there are two queens in this palace? ”

There is someone who understands the inside story, so he whispered, "Isn't it just like the two queens, first in the inner palace, that is, enjoying the ceremony of the deputy queen, and this gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and the limelight has long overtaken the queen, but look at the appearance of this one, he is still a sensible person, and he knows that the queen comes first." ”

Someone pouted, "Aren't you just pretending?" Otherwise, how could she have lost so many good reputations, and let the queen intercede for her, and set up the prince early, I see, I am afraid that the queen mother and them will all be fooled by her. ”
