The heart of the emperor is unpredictable. Since Emperor Jianping avoided people to make alchemy and take it privately, he himself did not want people to know.

Whether or not to expose this matter, or take the opportunity to manipulate one or two things, this matter will not be able to reach a conclusion in a short time. And because of Emperor Jianping's beating before, there was harmony in the study room. After Emperor Jianping saw him again, he couldn't help but praise a few words.

On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, there was a joy in Prince Hui's mansion.

The Sun family married the eldest prince in the 30th year of Jianping, and now it has been more than four years, and finally gave birth to a son. Prince Hui's mansion was overjoyed on this occasion. The child was born on the front foot, and the back foot was sent to the palace to announce the good news. In this way, everything that should be known will naturally be known.

On the day of the third wash, all the princes and female relatives were present.

King Hui's face was flushed with high spirits.

He did have quite a few sons, but he was the only one. Who didn't know that Emperor Jianping valued his eldest son, and when his son died young, he was at a low point and was discouraged. The birth of this son-in-law, coupled with the changes in the situation in the past two years, also told him that his mother was right, as long as the person is not dead, everything has hope.

Now he and all his brothers are also crowned kings. He has changed his mind and started a new life. , naturally have an advantage over others.

Knowing all this, King Hui, seeing a group of brothers coming to congratulate him, acted like an elder brother, not the prince who was proud and arrogant.

But King Wu and the others, who saw through all of this, gritted their teeth secretly in their hearts, and even had their own calculations, so they temporarily pressed the table.

On the other side, Feng Sheng, Princess Wu and others gathered in the main courtyard.

Grandma Xi San followed the old customs according to the rules, and when it was her turn to add pots, the female relatives of all the prefectures were very generous, so Grandma Xi was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth with a smile, throwing out good words like she didn't want money.

After all of this was over, the idlers were taken down, and the baby boy who was still in his swaddling arms was carried down by the nanny to nurse him. Mrs. Sun was half leaning on the soft pillow, her complexion was a little pale, but she couldn't hide the joy between her brows, Princess Wu was talking to her.

The maids in blue bijia filed in to serve tea, with a respectful and respectful attitude, without raising their eyebrows and eyes, and with light hands and feet.

It's not the first time Feng Sheng has come to Prince Hui's Mansion, but he can clearly feel that every time he comes, there are great changes. Before his wife had neither wives nor concubines, it was a mess, but now it is orderly.

After talking for a while, everyone left together.

There is no banquet in Xisan, and after the congratulations, they will leave, and everything will wait for the full moon before the big ceremony.

Here, Feng Sheng and Wei Wang took the carriage back to the mansion, and over there, Hui Wang sent all his younger brothers away, so they came to look for Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun is good-looking, and she is ten years younger than King Hui. Although she was a bit fierce when she first entered the door, King Hui also knew that she was for the good of the mansion after a long time. It's because he loves her highly, and usually doesn't hide anything from her.

But this time Sun made a great contribution, Hui Wang simply didn't know how to thank her for loving her, so that he could explain the excitement in his heart. What his mother said was right, Sun's destiny was to bring prosperity to him, and if he was prosperous, he might be even more blessed in the future.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Sun's favor and humiliation were not surprised: "It's not hard work, it's a concubine's job to prolong the heirs for the husband. Only the husband must remember the mother's instructions, don't forget your appearance when you are proud, and offend the father's disgust."

King Hui was a little embarrassed, but he also knew what was wrong with him, and said, "Of course I won't."

The husband and wife said a few words, after all, Mrs. Sun couldn't be too tired during the confinement period, so King Hui didn't stay longer.

He walked out, and before he left the gate of the main courtyard, he heard someone yelling at the gate. He walked over and saw that the person who came was Tao side concubine.

This side concubine Tao was once favored by King Hui who was still the crown prince, otherwise she would not be able to sit in the position of Emperor Liang, and she has both sons and daughters, so she is quite respectable in the mansion. But since Mrs. Sun entered the door, all this has changed. Mrs. Sun gave them food in the open and secretly. It is estimated that King Hui did not know about this. Downwind ended.

Among them, Empress Chen supported Sun Shi, and what made Tao Concubine even more angry was that His Highness did not know what kind of ecstasy drug Sun Shi had taken, and obeyed her. Concubine Tao tried several times to reveal Sun's true face in front of King Hui, but failed, and was suppressed so badly that she couldn't even leave the courtyard.

After finally taking advantage of the gap between Sun's delivery, she ran out, and the idea was naturally to report Sun, a duplicity bitch, in front of King Hui.

It was rare for King Hui to be full of joy and feel comfortable physically and mentally, but Tao Fangfei's face was full of mourning. First of all, he felt unlucky in his heart, and he was touching someone's brow. Naturally, he forgot that he liked Tao side concubine's pear blossom and rainy appearance the most.

"The concubine needs to recuperate quietly. The little son just put the nanny to sleep, who made you make a noise here?!"

The maidservants who stopped Concubine Tao knelt down on the spot.

"Your Highness, it's not that the servants are ignorant, but the side concubine insists on breaking in to find His Highness."

King Hui frowned and looked at Concubine Tao: "What do you want me to do?"

Concubine Tao didn't expect King Hui to have such an attitude, she was a little dazed, "Your Highness."

"Okay, go back to your yard, don't walk around if you have nothing to do."

Throwing away these words, King Hui left, leaving side concubine Tao trembling in the wind alone.

King Hui said that he would not get carried away with complacency, but he could bear to act in a low-key manner for many years. Now that he has made up for the last missing item, his heart is still more or less unbearably agitated.

Especially the day before yesterday, Prince Hui's Mansion held a full moon banquet for the young master, and all the mansions in Beijing came to congratulate him, and there were inevitably some people who either praised or hinted at him.

No, King Hui couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to the palace to look for Empress Chen.

Empress Chen is very low-key now, taking advantage of her poor health to recuperate in Kunning Palace all year round, the limelight has been robbed by the imperial concubine, and she just keeps silent. But in King Hui's heart, there is no one in the world who is wiser than his queen mother. There were many dangers in their middle palace, and thanks to his mother's empress strategizing, they were able to fall to the bottom and still survive from desperation.

Now Empress Chen has changed from her early days and is very frugal and low-key.

She wore a homely indigo blue dress, her gray and white hair was pulled back, and she didn't wear any jewelry, only a hosta was used to hold the bun in place.

The women in the palace like to practice Buddhism, and the older they are, the more they want to practice Buddhism to show their peace of mind. In the past, Empress Chen never liked this, but in the past few years, she has also been contaminated with this way for some reason, probably because she has no support in her heart, and she can only rely on Buddhism to find peace of mind.

It's not fruitless, at least Empress Chen's temperament is completely different from before. She used to be magnanimous and condescending, but now she has a more peaceful compassion.

After listening to Hui Wang's narration, even if her kung fu is considered to be mastered, there is still a ripple in her eyes.

"Those people are just scumbags. You don't want to associate with them, so as not to arouse your father's suspicion. You forgot how I told you at the beginning, your father is in charge of the government, and whoever you appoint as the heir is never those Ministers have the final say, but he himself has the final say."

"Can…"

"But what?" Empress Chen's face turned cold, and said: "You have suffered so much, but you still haven't learned a lesson? You forgot what happened in these years, forgot what I said to you back then? You are your father. The son he likes the most, but he hates him one after another, and in the end he can't even keep the crown prince. You are the only son of this palace, and this palace loves you and indulges you, so much so that your father is dissatisfied, and that **** took advantage of the gap Your crown prince was abolished, your son-in-law died, and the Song family died. My palace was implicated because of the Chen family's misconduct, and I almost couldn't keep my position. Vegetarianism shows the enemy's weakness.

"Do you think it's alright if you are crowned king and have a son-in-law now? Don't forget that **** is now your father's favorite woman. As long as she is still alive, your father will not give up easily." Decided to establish a crown prince. Don't underestimate the influence of a woman on a man. Your father knows that we have a rift with the imperial concubine. If he establishes you, he will rule the sky in the future. If you become emperor, I must be the empress dowager , can we spare his most beloved woman and the child born to his beloved woman? You can't even see the situation clearly, and you think you can restore it just because of the instigation of a few fools? If it is true that the courtiers force you Father is fine, I am afraid that Wu Wang and Zhao Wang have long been princes, and it will be your turn?"

What Empress Chen said made King Hui break out in cold sweat, the agitation in his heart had long since disappeared without a trace, and at the same time he was still depressed and panicked. Bit missed.

"Mother, that's not as good as us..."

King Hui made a gesture, and the fierceness in his eyes was fleeting. No matter how modest and respectful he was in recent years, it was hard to hide his true nature.

"Dismiss your thoughts! If this method works, she can still live to this day. If we do it, those people would have left her dead without a place to bury her." Empress Chen scolded.

"This won't work, and that won't work, so what should we do? If according to what the queen mother said, if the emperor doesn't set me up to protect that bunch of sluts, then he must set up the third child. When the third child gains power, there will still be us." way of life?"

It has to be said that King Hui's complaint hit Empress Chen's heart, they and the other side had long been in an unending situation, and now peace was maintained, nothing more than Emperor Jianping. Once Emperor Jianping is gone one day, it will be a fate of death.

Empress Chen kept flicking the beads in her hand, and her disordered breathing gradually calmed down.

"Don't worry, King Wei is not in a hurry, why are you so anxious," she said calmly, as if she was convincing King Hui and herself, "Look at King Wei, he only cares about that dilapidated academy and government affairs all day long." Regardless, your father treats him kindly instead. If you don't fight, you fight. As long as your father doesn't set up a reserve for a day, as long as you continue to maintain it and don't let people catch you wrong, your chances of winning are the greatest. After all, you are the eldest son. No matter how bad your mother is, she will still be the queen of the middle palace."

King Hui also tried his best to calm himself down. After all, he was no longer the same as before, knowing that what the mother said was right.

Today is not what it used to be, he really can't worry.

"Go quickly, don't stay here for too long, lest your father think that our mother and son are planning something again. Instead of wasting your time on the mother, you should go to the Qing Palace more often. Iron rods can be ground into needles. You After all, it was your father's favorite son, where is the love. People, you care about this when you are old, otherwise your father would not use the children's dispute to beat you brothers to live in harmony. Remember , Brothers are in harmony, the closer you are to the King of Wei, the more you let go of the past, your father will consider entrusting the great cause to you, after all, no one wants to see their sons fratricide."

After hearing these words, King Hui felt even more clear in his heart, hurriedly answered yes, and hurriedly left Kunning Palace and went to Qianqing Palace.

When approaching the gate of Qianqing, he unexpectedly met Wei Wang's family.

Although Hui Wang usually acts as if nothing happened, it seems that no matter what happens, it will not affect the friendship between the brothers. After all, there is a gap in his heart, and he just maintains face and affection, and never takes the initiative.

But today was also a surprise. Originally, King Wei just nodded to him and planned to walk over, but he actually came over on his own initiative.

"The third child—"

King Hui was smiling, and it was obvious that he seemed to have something to say. King Wei frowned slightly, turned his head to Feng Sheng and said, "Go to Concubine Mother first, I will look for you later."

Feng Sheng glanced at King Hui, nodded, and left with Tao Zhi.
