Now the Cui family is the hottest family in the Shang country, with monstrous power and the trust of the prince.

All kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, rare treasures, even more lively than the banquet in the palace.

The crown princess also went back to Cui's house to pay homage to her mother, the prince was busy and couldn't spare time, so he asked the princess to bring many gifts.

Naturally, the Cui Mansion didn't dare to let her tired, but just let the wives accompany her to talk and relieve her boredom.

Dai Yue'er's belly is also bigger, but she doesn't know really, she is more than seven months pregnant, although her belly is big, her body is only a little plump, and she looks more charming, she is two months later than the crown princess, Cui Hua is the princess's beloved younger brother, and Dai Yueer is a member of the queen mother's family.

After she and Cui Hua got married, Cui Hua grew up a lot, and took care of her family, everyone's attitude towards Dai Yue'er was much better, and the princess was satisfied with this younger brother and sister, and she was also pregnant, so she was promoted.

After talking for a long time, the crown princess saw that the spring outside was good, and it was the time when a hundred flowers were blooming, so she said, "The spring outside is good, but it's a pity that my body is inconvenient and it's not easy to move around, Yue'er, you don't have to stay here with me, you go and take a walk, which is good for future production." ”

The other wives also chimed in.

Cui Hua's mother also agreed, "Yes, you go for a walk, the crown princess has us with you, but you should be careful." ”

Dai Yue'er got up at this time, "Then thank you to the crown princess and mother, I'll go out for a walk." ”

The crown princess nodded with a smile.

It didn't take long for a girl to report the news, whispering a few words in Cui Hua's mother's ear, her face changed, and she whispered something, and the girl went out.

The crown princess is very strange.

Cui Hua's mother sent the wives of each room first, "It's not early, everyone go and take care of it first, there are many guests today, so something can't go wrong." ”

Everyone naturally knew that she had something to say to the crown princess, so they consciously responded and went out.

"What's going on?"

Cui's mother said, "Someone just saw Dai Yue'er teasing a car with a son in the garden, even ignoring the etiquette. ”

The crown princess naturally knew that this was already a tact, "Then this matter can't be passed on." ”

"I have sent someone to deal with it, it shouldn't be spread out, you say, how can a family like our Cui family tolerate such a daughter, I heard that this girl from the Dai family likes to hook up with three or four, and after marriage, she felt a lot better, we thought it was all rumors, not credible, I didn't expect that on a big day like today, there are eyes and ears everywhere, and she dares to do this. ”

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding?"

"How could it be a misunderstanding, these people are my henchmen, fortunately they saw it, they were restless with a big belly, Hua'er knew how boring it should be, now is the time to be busy, she still does such a thing. ”

The crown princess frowned and said, "Now that she is seven months pregnant, it is not easy to deal with it, just knock and knock more." ”

As she was talking, the girl came to report again, saying that the old lady knew about it, but there was no seizure at that time.

The old lady has always disliked her, and this time I'm afraid it won't be good.

That night, after the birthday banquet was dispersed, the old lady and several ladies called Dai Yue'er to come to teach her a lesson, Cui Hua's mother was afraid of hurting the child, but she was afraid of angering the old lady.

had to move out of the crown princess, "The crown princess already knows about this, but she said that she still has to take care of the child, mother, why don't we remember it first and deal with it later?"

The old lady was angry, and she still wanted to give face to the princess, but she refused to give up, "If you don't teach her a lesson, how can she remember, as long as she doesn't hurt the child, from today on, let her go to the ancestral hall every day to copy the family rules, once a day, so that she won't be idle." ”

This punishment is not heavy, but it hurts her face, and the people who watch her being punished like this may look down on her in the future.

Dai Yue'er is held by people on weekdays, and when she arrives at Cui's house, others don't dare to embarrass her, and after she is pregnant, everyone is even more polite and thoughtful to her, where has she been wronged like this, but she doesn't dare to resist.

Cui Hua didn't know where he learned about this, he was usually gentle and petty, but he also changed, and Dai Yue'er couldn't swallow this breath in her heart.

The ancestral hall is naturally not a good place to go, the old lady intends to teach her a lesson, and only gives him coarse tea and light rice every day, and then sends all kinds of tasteless tonic soups to the children, and Dai Yueer hates her even more.

On the second night, Dai Yue'er lost her temper and blew everyone out, alone in the ancestral hall.

The crown prince deals with affairs every day, there is almost no leisure, and he always can't sleep well at night, the princess's body is getting heavier and heavier, and the emperor and grandson are very much looking forward to the arrival of this little brother or little sister, and he comes to talk to his mother every day after school.

Your Majesty's wind and cold somehow did not get better, the queen asked the prince to send a message to accompany him more, but the prince was busy, and he always came and went in a hurry every time, and the emperor was not to blame, but he cared about him very much and did not let him delay more.

He was planning for the attack on Chu every day, and he had no time to take care of anything else.

On this day, news suddenly came from the palace, saying that His Majesty was seriously ill, and the prince hurried to the palace without even bringing a few of his subordinates.

Who knew that after arriving, the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall, and Lianyu was serving in front of the case, and the prince naturally knew that something was wrong.

"The son has seen his father. ”

The sixth prince walked down and saluted the crown prince, "Imperial brother." ”

The crown prince ignored him, just looked at his father, who suddenly became serious, and his heart was full of bad premonitions.

The emperor had a calm face, "Prince, I summoned you today, do you know anything?"

"I don't know. ”

"Someone told me that you conspired with the Cui family to seize the throne. ”

"The father is aware of it, the son is trusted by the father, and all major matters are in the hands of the son, and the son is already in power, so why bother to do it?"

"The more power you have, the more unwilling you are to be subservient, the power in your hands will give you ambition, I have to believe it. ”

The crown prince looked at the emperor and the six princes, and an idea jumped into his mind, everything was just a scam? He looked into the emperor's eyes, "What evidence does the father have for the emperor?"

The Emperor said, "Come in." ”

A man walked in from the side hall.

The prince said coldly, "Ning Ming—"

"Wechen has seen His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Six Princes. ”

"Tell me everything you know. ”

Ning Ming lowered his head slightly, didn't look at anyone, and said in a steady voice, "Weichen often walks around the prince's mansion, and once inadvertently heard the prince and the princess talking, saying that although he has great power now, he is still being dragged by others, and he wants to unite with the Cui family to force the palace and sit on the supreme position, and the minister also heard that the prince is called the crown princess and the princess is called the prince His Majesty, and the minister is frightened day by day, and his heart is uneasy, so he has to report His Royal Highness the prince, and ask His Royal Highness the prince to atone for his sins." ”

When the prince heard this, this was something that had never happened, and he reprimanded angrily, "Nonsense, Ning Ming, this prince is not thin on you, and you actually slandered this prince so much." ”

The emperor said lightly, "He has no grudge against you, why should he slander you?"

Seeing the emperor's attitude, the crown prince suddenly understood, why such a few words without evidence could be used as evidence, no one instructed, no one supported him, how could Ning Ming dare to do such a thing.

It's all up to my father to believe it or not.

"Then the father believes it?"

The Emperor said, "The blade hangs around the neck, how can I believe that one day it will not fall." ”

"I see, what does the father want to do with his sons? Now that the war is imminent, the father and the emperor have moved the sons, and the court is in turmoil, I am afraid that the Chu State will take advantage of the weakness to enter, as long as the father and the emperor give the sons and daughters time, the sons will hand over the authority in their hands after they go back and be an idler. ”

"I will send someone to investigate, and until I find out, you should stay in the palace first. ”

As soon as these words came out, the prince was completely disappointed in him, and there was no room for it.

"Why does my father want to be like this, since I am afraid that my son will seize the throne, why do I want to let go of so much power to my son, it's ridiculous that my son believes that his father trusts his son wholeheartedly, and now the situation is very good, why did my father do this, and what did my son do badly?"

The emperor looked at his face full of pain, and still explained, "Over the years, in order to increase your troops, you have increased taxes, vigorously introduced various resources, and cultivated countless spies to lurk in various countries, but you have set your sights too far, forgetting the eyes, forgetting the people of our merchant country, although the people can barely survive, but unfortunately the resentment of being oppressed is skyrocketing, although you have solved the situation of the major families controlling the government, but you have created a behemoth, I don't know that one day, the Cui family will be out of your control."

The Shang and Jin countries have been trying to deal with the Chu State for hundreds of years, but they have not succeeded in doing so, and the reason for this is simply because the two countries are calculating each other, and you have made such a mistake, and you have not yet started a war with the enemy country, you are already calculating the allies, what is the point of such an alliance? Now the Chu State has smuggled enough military rations for the Chu army to use it for a year, and has also destroyed a lot of grain in the territory of the Shang State. ”

The prince smiled self-deprecatingly, "Then why didn't you say it back then, why didn't you teach me, and you have to wait until ten years later to accuse? Did you already calculate and let me bear this notoriety? You have already calculated and let me solve all the troubles, and then solve the biggest trouble between me and the Cui family, right? Father, you have waited for ten years, and you have deceived your sons for ten years, have you ever had the slightest hesitation?"

"Yes, I was also moved by your grand plan, but I also have my own plan, and I think my plan is more secure, the Cui family, I must get rid of it. ”

At this moment, the prince finally realized what it means to be cold, he calculated the whole world, but he was calculated by the most beloved person.

"The ills of the Shang State have been eliminated, and if you develop with peace of mind for a few more years, you will definitely be able to compete with the Chu State, instead of relying on intrigue and trickery for a while, only if you are strong, you will be invincible, this is the way of survival of the Chu State, and it is also the law of survival in the troubled times. ”

The crown prince closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, "Xun'er and the crown princess don't understand anything, the crown princess still has an unborn child in her belly, Xun'er and this child are your grandsons, please spare the three of them." ”
