Chapter 109: Fighting Spirit
The Queen Mother saw that the second prince was bored, and she persuaded him hard, but she had no choice but to retreat and persuade him to become a monk. As a monk, you can also pray for Zheng Xiangrong and spend her next life.
At the same time, Jiang Guifei, the biological mother of the second prince, did not hesitate to hang herself in order to save the life of the second prince, which calmed the resentment of the people in the clan.
The second prince gave up the idea of committing suicide, but insisted on leaving the capital and went to the Jokhang Temple on Jiangzhou Road, where his mother's mother was located.
From the fifteenth year of the Ming calendar to the twenty-eighth year of the Ming calendar, it has been a full thirteen years.
After the prince and the queen mother reached a compromise, a will to order the second prince to return to the world was sent to the Jokhang Temple on Jiangzhou Road in Jiangnan by a fast horse.
After receiving Yi's order, the second prince immediately came to the capital under the escort of the entourage sent by the Queen Mother.
"Imperial Grandmother Wan'an!" As soon as the second prince entered Anhe Palace, he knelt down and gave a big salute to the Queen Mother.
Although the Queen Mother was forced to calm down, her eyes were already full of tears.
"Child, get up quickly, let the mourning family take a good look at you." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to the second prince.
The second prince looked up and saw the queen mother's beautiful face, like a young woman in her twenties, and couldn't help but sigh: "The color of the imperial grandmother looks like the sister of the grandson, not like the imperial grandmother." โ
The Queen Mother burst into tears and laughed, and said angrily: "You cunning, no big or small, even the mourners dare to make fun of it!" โ
Although he said this, he did not intend to punish the second prince for saying the wrong thing.
She pulled the second prince to her side and sat down, kept stroking his head and face, and finally burst into tears.
"It's better than the first, it's grown up......"
"Of course I grew up." The second prince held the hand of the Queen Mother. Put it in the palm of your hand. "Imperial Grandmother. The grandson is already thirty years old this year. โ
"It's that big?" The Queen Mother's expression was a little trance-like. She looked at the second prince silently for a long time, and sighed: "Okay, now that you are still vulgar, do you want to marry a wife?" โ
The second prince returned to the vulgar and re-titled, and his wife's family, of course, is the second princess.
The second prince smiled, "The original match of the grandson." Of course, I want to be tolerant. โ
The Queen Mother frowned, "Then what's so good about Zheng Xiangrong?" You still can't forget her? โ
"I'll never forget her for the rest of my life." The second prince said solemnly.
The Queen Mother looked at the second prince attentively, and saw that he was not cheating, it was completely what he really thought, and with a roll of her eyes, she already had an idea.
"You can't forget her, and you can't take care of the mourning family. But if you really think like this, you should cheer up the mourners! Don't nest in the Jokhang Temple in Jiangzhou, like your father, like the 'living dead'! The Queen Mother said.
The second prince pursed his lips.
"You know. Our family has ancestral teachings, and the four major families are not allowed to marry with the royal family. If you want to be able to be your original match, and be buried with you in the emperor's mausoleum in the future, you must ...... Fight for the ......" The last four words of the Queen Mother were said very softly, and only the second prince could hear them.
The female officer Yao standing not far from the side did not hear clearly what the Queen Mother's last sentence said.
The second prince suddenly perked up.
Only when you become an emperor can you ignore any ancestral teachings, right?!
Thinking of the battle for the throne between him and the crown prince, not only for whether he could live, but also for the sake of being able to give Zheng Xiang Rongming a fair name, his fighting spirit suddenly increased!
The queen mother saw that the momentum of the second prince had changed significantly, and she no longer looked like she was being pushed away, but she had the determination to compete for the throne from the bottom of her heart.
"That's right, think about it, isn't this the reason?" The Queen Mother said with satisfaction, "Your candidate for the crown princess ......"
The second prince interrupted the queen mother's words, "Imperial grandmother, the grandson has already been selected, and ......" The second prince attached to the queen mother's ear and said softly: "Moreover, she has already given birth to a great-granddaughter to the imperial grandmother......"
The Queen Mother smiled, "You mean, the daughter of the Wang family?" โ
The second prince nodded, "The grandson is going to marry her as the imperial concubine." โ
"But her mother's family has no roots." The Queen Mother was a little worried.
"The men of our Great Xia royal family are already the first-class families in the world, and which family deserves us to climb high, right? - Even if it is the four major families, they can only bow down to their subordinates. โ
These words were quite arrogant, and even when Lady Yao heard it, she looked at the second prince differently.
The Queen Mother was unmoved, "Really? โ
"Hehe, actually, since you can't marry the daughters of the four major families, it's the same to marry anyone. What's more, the grandson has just returned to the vulgar now, and he immediately yelled to find a capable imperial concubine from his mother's family, wouldn't it make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the queen mother taboo? "The second prince sees the stakes very clearly.
The Queen Mother was very emotional.
This child is actually smarter than the prince, but he has been mistaken by love all his life.
Fortunately, Zheng Xiangrong died......
Anyway, it's a dead man, he can set up an immortal tablet if he wants, and no one will care about it when the time comes.
"Well, you have a point. At present, it is still the most suitable girl from the Wang family. Although their family background is not obvious, it is rare that the family members are kind and decent, especially if they fall in love with you. The Queen Mother thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with marrying the eldest girl of the Wang family.
The second prince has a sentence about the queen mother's heart.
That is, the Great Xia royal family is already a first-class family, and they don't need to rely on marrying a good wife to raise their value.
No matter which family the woman is, marrying them is Gao Pan.
"Well, when are you going to bring them to the capital? Your prince's palace is already under construction. The Queen Mother changed the subject and asked.
The second prince was exactly eighteen years old when he became a monk, and he had not yet had time to leave the palace, so he did not have an official prince's mansion in the capital.
"Well, the imperial grandmother, my grandson is not going to live in the capital for the time being." The second prince once again spoke amazingly.
The Queen Mother's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was already a faint anger on her face.
"What the hell are you thinking?!"
The second prince hurriedly patted the queen mother's hand, which eased the queen mother's anger, and then said: "Imperial grandmother, don't be angry first, listen to what your grandson says." โ
The Queen Mother glanced at Lady Yao.
Lady Yao understood, hurriedly bowed and retreated, leaving the small study room for the queen mother and the second prince.
I saw that there was no one in the small study. The second prince said in a low voice: "Imperial grandmother." The eldest brother suddenly changed sex. Agreeing that the grandson is vulgar must be an idea. โ
"It's not strange that he made up his mind, are you still afraid of him?" The Queen Mother's eyebrows were raised even higher.
"It's not that I'm afraid of him. It's just that the grandson thinks more. And in Jiangnan, Sun Er is almost in control, why bother to come to the capital to see his nose and eyes? Besides, Shanshan, the daughter of Sun Er and Qingmei, is four years old. Now if you want to bring her to the capital, you will inevitably be ridiculed. Or wait...... Come back later, when the time comes. Who would dare to laugh at her?! "The second prince is very thoughtful about this little daughter.
The Queen Mother listened suddenly, she wanted to laugh and sigh, her mood was very complicated, and finally she rubbed his head and said, "You have really grown up." โ
One of the signs of growing up is knowing how to think about others and no longer just be self-centered.
"Grandmother Royal, rest assured. Now that the grandson has come out, he will not disappoint the imperial grandmother again......"
The second prince talked to the Queen Mother's Anhe Palace for an afternoon, and later went to the side hall where Emperor Xia Ming lived and kowtowed three times.
Depart from Anwanomiya. Lady Yao sent the second prince to the queen's Fengyi Palace to meet the queen.
The crown prince was also there waiting for him.
Looking at the tall and handsome appearance of the second prince, the queen squinted her eyes.
I haven't seen you in more than ten years. The queen can't remember what the second prince used to look like.
Now at first sight, she found that the second prince's face was born too well, much better than his biological mother Jiang Guifei, but more like his father, Emperor Xia Ming.
Emperor Xia Ming was also a dragon and a phoenix, heroic and extraordinary. It's a pity that he has been lying in bed for so many years, like a "living dead".
The queen was a little sad, but she didn't embarrass the second prince anymore, but said, "It's good to come back." Your prince's mansion is still under construction, why don't you live with your eldest brother first? โ
The second prince hurriedly said: "Thank you for the kindness of the queen mother and His Royal Highness the Prince, I told the imperial grandmother that after worshipping the Taimiao, I will return to Jiangnan and will not live in the capital." โ
"Oh?" The prince was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Why is this? We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, why do you have to leave so soon? โ
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about his younger brother, but his younger brother really doesn't dare to be it. The younger brother has been used to living in Jiangnan for so many years, and it is difficult to adapt to the climate of the capital. Saying that, the second prince coughed twice as appropriate, "It's too hot and too dry......
The crown prince smiled and asked, "Grandmother the Emperor is also willing to let you go?" โ
"The imperial grandmother has always been magnanimous, as long as I am doing well, and she did not force me to stay in the capital." The second prince said lightly, looking at the prince's scrutinizing eyes, with a calm face.
I don't know if it was because he stayed in the temple for a long time, but the prince found that the second prince's temperament had changed a lot.
The hot-blooded and impulsive young man who did everything for Zheng Xiangrong and even wanted to die with her has grown up.
Today's second prince is mature, calm, introverted, and has a waveless mentality, so that the prince can't detect his mood.
It's better than the impulsive and irritable second brother at the beginning...... The prince thought to himself.
When the queen heard that the second prince was going back to Jiangnan, she was relieved.
She is most afraid that the second prince will be in the capital, and with the support of the queen mother, she will fight with the prince.
It's much better to go back to Jiangnan, at least it won't be directly on the bar.
The prince thought about it and thought it would be fine.
He had just understood the queen mother's intentions, and he had to discuss the strategy with his staff, so he said: "Since the imperial grandmother has agreed, we can't disobey the imperial grandmother's wishes." Then I wish you a smooth journey. โ
The second prince thanked them with a smile, and said: "After I return to Jiangnan, I will marry the eldest girl of the Wang family, and then invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to drink the wedding wine." โ
"The eldest girl of the Wang family?" The prince immediately became vigilant, "But the girl of the whole family of the king of Dali Temple? After speaking, he was puzzled, "No, the Wang family is all sons, and there is only one daughter." But that daughter got married more than ten years ago. โ
