Chapter 314: Cause and Effect

Xu Jing entered the East Palace with mixed feelings.

The prince's health has improved quite a bit in the past two days, and he walks slowly with Su Huan's support. Seeing Xu Jing coming, the prince smiled happily and said, "You came just in time, stay in the East Palace for dinner tonight."

Xu Jing responded with a smile, and naturally stepped forward to support the prince.

Su Huan was also interested and quietly retreated.

Xu Jing has a lot of strength, and with a little force, the prince's walk will be much smoother. After walking around the East Palace, the prince sweated on his forehead and went back to the study to sit down.

Father-in-law Lu silently poured two cups of tea, then exited the study and closed the door.

"I've been to the Yingchuan Mansion today." Xu Jing opened his mouth to break the silence: "Cousin Yi is full of calculations on weekdays, but today he is full of tears, and he looks a little pitiful."

The prince glanced at Xu Jing and said lightly, "Where there is a cause in advance, there will be an effect later. Just because of the pickled deeds he and the Chen family have done, there is today's ending, and it is their husband and wife who are to blame."

It's really impossible for him and his mother to be bullied!

This is not only a punishment for their husband and wife, but also a deterrent to all those with bad intentions.

If you dare to reach out to the palace, you deserve to be chopped off!

Xu Jing heard the deep meaning of the prince's words, and he felt all kinds of feelings in his heart, and even a little happy. I am glad that I chose to treat the prince with sincerity from the beginning. If you really have any crooked thoughts, you won't be qualified to sit and drink tea with the prince like a brother today.

Seeing that Xu Jing was silent, the prince couldn't help but smile: "Why don't you speak? Did you suddenly find out that I was a beast that ate meat and didn't spit out bones, and I was a little scared?"

Xu Jing laughed: "This is what my cousin said himself, and I didn't say anything."

Think about it too. The crown prince has been canonized as a grandson since he was a child, and he has received the most orthodox imperial education, and it is normal to have scheming and means.

If you think that the prince is gentle on the surface and has no city, it is a big mistake.

After a few jokes, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

The prince said, "Chan eats too much and moves less during pregnancy, and the child in his belly is too big, so he will have a difficult birth when he is about to give birth. When you go back, don't forget to tell your younger siblings not to eat and drink indiscriminately while you are pregnant, and you must be more modest. And you have to walk and move every day."

Xu Jing responded with a smile, and quickly opened the topic and talked about things in the barracks.

In the evening, the prince left Xu Jing for dinner in the East Palace. Dining together, there are also the subordinate officials of the East Palace.

Emperor Yongming is mediocre, incompetent and lustful, and he is a faint monarch who is scolded behind everyone's back. However, for the crown prince, Emperor Yongming was a good father. Since the crown prince was established, he has assigned many outstanding subordinate officials to the prince.

Most of these East Palace officials are in their twenties and thirties, and the oldest is only about forty. If, as Emperor Yongming expected, the crown prince would succeed to the throne in ten or twenty years, these subordinate officials of the East Palace would be young and prosperous, and they would soon become the mainstay of the imperial court.

Xu Jing often goes in and out of the East Palace, and he is deeply trusted by the prince, and he is very familiar with the officials of the East Palace. This dinner was relaxed and pleasant for Xu Jing.

The mood of the dozen subordinate officials of the East Palace was a little complicated.

The prince's frail and sickly health is a lingering concern for all the officials of the East Palace. The last time the prince had a heart attack, he almost closed his eyes and went west. Under such circumstances, the prince tried his best to promote the prince of Beihai, and the intention can be imagined.

They are all loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to support the prince of Beihai as the prince, and whether they like it in their hearts or not, they must obey the prince's decision.

However, emotionally speaking, they can't accept it for a while. Because of this, the attitude of the subordinate officials towards Xu Jing was a little subtle.

Far away, too close, and a little awkward, when speaking in my heart weighed, unconsciously with a little introspection.

Seven days later, Chen, the princess of Yingchuan, was buried.

The prince of Yingchuan fell ill and was bedridden. Emperor Yongming issued an edict and ordered the prince of Yingchuan to recuperate in the palace.

Chen's death was like a pebble thrown into a lake, and after some ripples, the stone soon sank to the bottom of the lake. The lake quickly returned to calm.

In addition to one more in the Jiaofang Palace

The little county lord, the rest doesn't seem to have changed much.

"Queen Mother, look at the little princess, born white and cute."

Fu Zi smiled and hugged the little county lord from the nurse's hand and handed it to Queen Su.

The little county lord was born bigger than an ordinary baby, with a small fleshy face and small lips, which is indeed cute.

Empress Su glanced at it with a smile, looked up and said to Fu Zi, "This child was born without a mother, and it is also pitiful. In the future, I will take care of it in the Jiaofang Palace."

Fu Zi responded with a smile, and then said in a low voice, "The little county lord hasn't come up with a name yet!"

Emperor Yongming hugged the beauty all day long to drink and have fun, and he never came to the Jiaofang Palace to see the little county lord, let alone give the little county lord a name.

Empress Su thought for a while and said, "When the child is full moon, the palace will go and ask the emperor to give her a name. Let's take a milk name first, and call her Sister An."

The peace of peace, the peace of oneself.

A smile flashed in her purple eyes: "This name is simple and nice." Then he patted the little county lord's back and called Sister An softly.

The little baby girl didn't understand anything, but it was very comfortable to be patted on the back like this, smash it, smash it, and arch her head to Fu Zi's side.

Queen Su looked interesting and reached out to hug Sister An.

Sister An stuffed her little fist into her mouth and sucked it with relish.

Empress Su smiled: "It seems that she is hungry."

The nurse hurriedly stepped forward and carried the little princess down to feed the milk.

Seeing that Empress Su was in a good mood, Fu Zi laughed softly: "After a year or two, there will be a baby in the East Palace, and the queen mother will be the imperial grandmother."

Speaking of the heirs of the East Palace, Queen Su smiled and paused. After a while, he whispered: "Fu Zi, the prince's body is weak, and this palace is afraid that he will not be able to look forward to that day."

Queen Su has a tough temperament, and only in front of Fu Zi will she show a little weakness and sorrow.

Fu Zi heard a sour nose: "Niangniang, don't say such frustrating words. His Highness's health is getting better day by day, and in another month or two, he will be able to return to normal. If the two side concubines in the East Palace are not angry, the queen will choose some more beautiful ladies with suitable men for Her Royal Highness to enter the East Palace."

Queen Su's heart was bitter and unspeakable.

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu.

There are some things that the prince did not say explicitly. However, with Queen Su's understanding of her son, she had already guessed a thing or two.

The prince didn't marry the girl he liked, so he accepted the two prince's concubines into the East Palace. After being rescued from a heart attack, the first thing he did was to ask Emperor Yongming to appoint Xu Jing as the prince.

What does this mean?

It means that the prince's body will not last for a few years.

It means that there will be no heirs in the East Palace.

God really doesn't open his eyes. Why does such a good prince have a sick and weak body?
