It is precisely because the eldest and youngest are orderly, so in the absence of a son-in-law, it should be the eldest son who has priority to obtain the right of inheritance.

And the emperor's first son died early, and now the second prince is his eldest son, just because the second prince's biological mother is an inconspicuous palace maid, which is a shame for the emperor, so he lost the qualification to inherit.

The ministers sensed the intentions of the emperor and knew that His Majesty was not satisfied with the second prince, so they simply skipped the second prince in the matter of establishing the prince, and directly praised the third prince who was noble and most loved by the emperor.

As time passed, the emperor subconsciously felt that the third prince, Chu Chengxian, was his eldest son.

But today, the second princess is pregnant.

As Changning said came true, the Li family gave birth to a son in the future, which will be his eldest grandson.

At this moment, the emperor realized that his eldest son was already so old and had a son.

His grandchildren.

Changning captured the complicated feelings in his father's eyes.

Different from the previous life, the emperor in this life learned that the Li family was pregnant from Changning's mouth, and there was no mistake in concealing and not reporting in the previous life.

The emperor naturally had a good impression of the child in Li's belly.

The eldest grandson of the long house.

"Father, the second emperor brother is nearly thirty years old now, and he has already married, and now even the child is about to be born, you can't always let him nest in the prince's residence, it is natural to seal the king and build a mansion."

The second prince trembled and knelt down when he heard the sound, wanting to refuse, but he didn't dare to refuse.

Changning, that is the daughter of her father, the person in charge of the phoenix seal, how dare he refute her words.

But...... But wouldn't his words of being crowned king annoy his father even more?

Concubine Zheng and they won't let him go.

When the second prince thought about it, his heart was in turmoil, and his white and fat face was sweaty, as if he had been washed with water.

The emperor was upset when he looked at this unruly son.

Changning blocked the second prince, she was as delicate as the full moon, and her beauty was dazzling.

"Father, the second emperor brother is your son and son, and it is the son and son of the queen mother. His son is also the grandson of the queen mother, if the queen mother is still alive, she will never forget to build a palace for the second emperor's brother, nor will she let her grandson be wronged in a place like Jingxinzhai, and he can't even take out a pot of coral. ”

Changning made a pun, and the emperor's face suddenly changed.

Looking at the second prince again, when he heard the word queen mother, his face was full of longing.

When Empress Liu was alive, he was raised in the palace of Liu Hou as the eldest son of the emperor, and Empress Liu has been taking care of him as a mother.

He was grateful.

If Empress Liu is alive, even if he is not Queen Liu's own son, he can be regarded as half a son-in-law, how can he be so helpless and weak to be bullied today.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

Indeed, Concubine Zheng Guifei has presided over the harem for many years, and she also ignored this son "in accordance with" his wishes, and never mentioned the name of the second prince, let alone asked for the throne for the second prince and built another mansion.

The concubine's selfishness has been overflowing.

The third prince saw that the emperor's face was wrong, and his eyes glanced over with a slight dissatisfaction, and he immediately scolded Chu Changning for being treacherous.

"Father, the second emperor brother is not in good health, the mother concubine has always left him in the palace to personally help him regulate his body, and the results have been achieved at the end of these years and the imperial sister-in-law is pregnant, which is really gratifying, Chengxian congratulates the royal brother." The third prince rushed to the second prince.

This scared the second prince, and he bowed his head to the third prince while he was still kneeling, as if he was kowtowing.

Although the third prince never felt that he couldn't afford this gift, he still pretended to be sincerely afraid in front of his father and helped the second prince to get up.

"Brother Huang, my mother has been boiling medicine and adding food to you all these years, I have seen it in my eyes, have you forgotten?" The third prince pinched the flesh on the arm of the second prince, threatening with a smile.

"No, I didn't forget, I didn't forget." The second prince's face was sweating, and he didn't know whether it was pain or fear, but when he saw the third prince's eyes glancing at the emperor, he hurriedly saluted the emperor.

"Father...... Father, the concubine is very good to her son, very good, she has been taking care of her son all these years, and her son is grateful to the concubine. The second prince stammered nervously, and the emperor was even more annoyed.

The third prince took the opportunity to step forward: "Father, a few days ago, when the ministers entered the palace, they heard from the mother concubine about opening a new mansion for the second emperor's brother, but I don't know how to talk to my father. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows.

The third prince asked him for permission, and that was the opportunity to voluntarily give up this time as the king.

Changning sneered, Chu Chengxian was smart.

Knowing that the second princess is pregnant, for the sake of the emperor and grandson, the emperor will also agree to the second prince to leave the palace and find another residence, since this is the case, Chu Chengxian's refusal is undoubtedly to block the emperor, so he simply wants to be an adult, and has a good impression of himself and Zheng Guifei.

Sure enough, the emperor had two points of guilt in his eyes.

Everyone in the world knows that this time the king is for the preparation of the three princes, the emperor's edict has been issued, just waiting for the stamp to be issued, but now it has been replaced by the second prince, what should the people of the world think about the three princes.

But the third prince is able to show off: "Father, the second emperor brother is older, and the royal brother should be crowned the throne first, and the sons and the five emperors have no objections." ”

Chu Chengxian has known since he was a child that the immediate interests are not important, what matters is whether the father is willing to favor him.

is like Chu Changning, just because her father is partial to her, she can go from a powerless little girl to a princess with monstrous power today.

Now exchanging a doomed throne for the favor of his father is obviously a good deal.

On the other side, Changning remained silent, waiting for his father to make a decision.

"Well, then, let it be settled, Chengfeng," the Emperor called.

The second prince looked at the emperor humbly: "The son is here." ”

"Second Emperor Brother, aren't you grateful?" Changning reminded: "Father, this is a promise to crown you as the king of Rui." ”

The second prince's eyes widened, and he knelt down: "Son...... The son thanked his father for his grace. ”

He never imagined that he would be able to get the throne before his brothers.

This incident made him unhappy and worried.

But the oracle has been passed down, and he knows the six palaces and the government and the opposition.

"The second prince is obedient and virtuous, the king of Rui, and the second princess Li is the princess of Rui, and he is here."

It is not as good as the three princes' canons on the beautiful words, only a few praises, obviously the Ministry of Rites was very hurried when drafting the article, for fear of losing too many words.

But the result is all the same.

"Second prince, King Rui......" Zheng Anhou still doesn't know the situation in the palace, he only feels that his head is hot, what the hell is going on!

"Father-in-law, may I ask if Your Majesty has a summons?"

The eunuch bowed his head: "Master Hou, don't worry, our family has only heard about this matter, I heard that Princess Rui is pregnant, this is the grandson of our Da Chu, Your Majesty is happy, and I think that King Rui has been living in the prince's residence......"

Zheng Anhou's face is ugly, Your Majesty is dissatisfied with Concubine Zheng?

"Hou Ye rest assured, it is the third prince who understands the righteousness and gives up the throne, and His Majesty is very satisfied."

Zheng Anhou breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the three princes gave up the throne and dispelled the doubts in His Majesty's heart, otherwise they would be even more difficult.

And they know what kind of goods Chu Chengfeng is, and they don't have enough evidence.

It's just that the duck in hand flies, and it is inevitable that the face will be dull.

Concubine Zheng Guifei in the harem was even more dissatisfied.

Whoever crowns the king first has a lot to stake, and now that Chu Chengfeng has quietly picked up a bargain, how can she be willing.

And that Li family, it was really not easy, she was pregnant behind her back, and climbed the big tree of Chu Changning.

"Okay, this palace depends on how you give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson." Concubine Zheng Guifei beckoned: "Come on, tell the Li family, just say that she is pregnant and should not be tossed, stay in the palace first, and wait for a full month, and then the palace will personally send her out of the palace." ”
