Crown Princess Tang turned back to look at Aunt Cen in surprise, her expression darkened: "Do you know what you are talking about?!"

Aunt Cen shrank, but looking at the Crown Princess, thinking about the future of the Crown Princess and Princess Minshun, and thinking about what the palace people around her were talking about in private on weekdays, she still gritted her teeth and persisted: "This slave knows that I

It's just that...if no one comes to persuade the Queen, the Queen will only follow the arrangements of His Highness the Crown Prince and not think about anything for herself! The Queen Mother is right to do this, but Prince Suning is unwilling to adopt him, so he has already

It has been explicitly hinted more than once that forceful melons are not sweet, and if things continue like this, things will just remain stagnant! His Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and with the Emperor on top to control him, there is no need to worry. Maybe he will enter the East Palace again in the future.

The new couple, this new couple can give birth to royal grandchildren, but the empress... the empress!"

Aunt Cen slowly knelt down in front of Crown Princess Tang, raised her head, with tears in her eyes: "I dare to say something that violates the rules here. Will the grandson born to the newlywed be willing to respect the empress? Will she sincerely protect her?

Princess? He has his own biological mother to be filial to, and his own brothers and sisters to take care of. How much sincerity can he put in the empress and the princess?! Even if the empress brings the little grandson over and raises him from a young age, his biological mother will always be there.

Sooner or later, he will instigate the little emperor's grandson to divorce the empress! If he leaves his mother and keeps his son..." Aunt Cen paused for a moment, then she saw the Crown Princess frowning, her face full of disapproval, and she secretly felt in her heart.

He sighed and continued, "If we leave the mother and keep the son, and let the little emperor and grandson know about it in the future, it will only make things worse. I am afraid that even the princess and the Tang family may be retaliated, so it is not advisable."

.Who else would say these words to the empress except a slave? Your Highness the Prince only knows that they are his own flesh and blood, how do you know that these flesh and blood are different from his own flesh and blood?"

Crown Princess Tang pursed her lips and scolded in a low voice: "Shut up! Don't rely on me to trust you and forget to speak properly! If such words reach the ears of His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness wants to deal with you in anger, I will

I don’t even have the nerve to plead for you!”

Aunt Cen said with tears in her eyes: "I know that the Crown Princess still favors me, so I boldly said these words in front of you. Your Majesty, time is running out! Although the Chen family's daughter failed to enter the palace, she

That's also because she comes from the Chen family, and His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like to see her. If she were a daughter from another family, His Highness the Crown Prince might not refuse again. Even if His Highness refuses, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will make arrangements. If the empress continues to delay,

When the Empress Dowager and the Emperor formally issue the decree, how can you stop the newcomers from entering the East Palace? You will definitely not stop them. You will not even complain, and you will select a few more who are talented, beautiful, and from good families.

You are a beautiful woman who is in good health and has arranged everything properly. No matter who you are, you will only be praised. But those compliments are all false. There is a new person in the East Palace. You and Chen Liangdi are no longer the only ones. His Highness the Crown Prince's favor is divided among others.

Go, anything can happen! Why does the Crown Princess of Shu ask you to protect her children today? Chen Liangdi has no children, but you have a princess, so you have to take precautions early!"

Crown Princess Tang gritted her teeth, but this time she did not rebuke her again.

Aunt Cen added: "His Royal Highness is still thinking about adopting Prince Suning. Prince Suning is indeed very good, but after all, he is not my mother's flesh and blood, and he is about to marry a wife. A child of such an old age, and

No matter how harmonious we get along with you, we still can’t get close to each other.

Even his unmarried wife is not a relative of the empress, so why should the empress control him in the future? What's more, he himself is unwilling to adopt, and what he thinks about is his biological parents. Even if the prince of the Liao Dynasty was mean to him in the past, now once

Tell him something

Didn't he just obey the orders obediently? Zhao Qi, the former crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, had long been despised by everyone in the clan. He was also suspected of treason and was disrespectful to His Royal Highness. But Suning County

However, Wang still helped his father and daughter because of his father's instructions.

Reunion. Isn't he worried that His Highness will be angry? It can be seen that in his heart, his biological father is still more important. Now people outside praise him for his filial piety, but he is filial to his biological father. Once he is adopted in the future,

Your Highness, who will be the filial one?"

Crown Princess Tang took a deep breath and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this, Guang Lu... is a well-measured child, and he also knows how to be grateful. The reunion of Zhao Qi and his daughter is nothing more than a trivial matter. His Highness did not

Take it to heart. If it really interferes with His Highness, Guanglu will not do it."

Aunt Cen lowered her head: "Your Majesty is right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values ​​the Prince of Suning so much, and the Prince's character is naturally trustworthy. It's just that the Prince may be a loyal minister, but he may not be a suitable person for the future crown prince.

He will do everything according to etiquette, but if he wants to be really close to the empress and the princess, and to protect the princess sincerely, I'm afraid it won't work. Such a candidate is not a bad choice, but he himself is not willing to choose it.

Next, Prince's Palace

Of course, you can't force it. Who will get an advantage if you continue to delay it like this? Instead of waiting until the problem is difficult to solve in the future, why not make preparations in advance? You only need to choose young and smart boys from the clan, keep them by your side and educate them, and have the prince

Your Highness and your Majesty’s father are teaching you, are you afraid that you won’t be able to teach a wise grandson? He is smart and capable, and he is also close to your Majesty and the princess. This is much more reliable than Prince Suning!”

The Crown Princess pursed her lips: "Did you come up with this idea after listening to the words of the Crown Prince of Shu? Is it possible that the person you are talking about... is the grandson of the King of Shu?"

Aunt Cen hurriedly said: "How dare I have such an idea? No matter how good the king of Shu is, he is still a sinner. There are many children of the right age in the clan. The empress will wait and see for a year or two. Maybe there will be more candidates?"

For example, the Prince of Qin's Palace has always had many offspring, and the Prince of Lu's Palace has

The children are good at studying and knowledgeable, and the tutors in Prince Xiuning’s palace are very good, and they have a wide circle of friends... The children of any family are good, and the empress will always be able to pick one if she pays careful attention. If you really can’t make up your mind, pick out a few first.

It will take two years to find a suitable candidate..."

The Crown Princess interrupted her: "Impossible. Your Highness the Crown Prince will not allow it." At first, the Crown Prince liked Zhao Mo, Prince of Suning County. Although Zhao Mo himself was outstanding and the Crown Prince liked him, there was another reason.

On the one hand, he is a nearly adult man, stable and capable, which is also an important reason.

The prince has little confidence in his own health, and is always afraid that after the emperor passes away, he may not be able to survive for many years after he succeeds to the throne. If the successor is older, more talented and capable, it will be more beneficial to the country, and it will also avoid the disadvantages of the young master.

The dilemma of the country. Now the prince has taken Zhao Mo with him for more than a year and has taught him a lot.

Government affairs, making him familiar with the personnel in the court, is already paving the way for him, how can he easily change people? Selecting young children from the clan is certainly helpful for raising them to maturity, but when the children grow up, they can help manage the affairs of the court.

, it will be at least more than ten years later. Whether the prince can survive until then is still unknown.

Besides... if you select a child from a royal palace with many descendants, when the child grows up, how do you know that his parents and family will not come to recognize him? Zhao Mo is not close to his biological father, and he is even more estranged from his grandfather. For the sake of the emperor and his family,

The prince is willing to sacrifice the interests of his father and ancestors. The descendants of the King of Shu don't know at the moment, but if the prince of the King of Shu really marries a daughter of the Chen family in the future and leaves his original wife's children behind, he might really raise a second Zhao Mo.

.These two children are estranged from their biological relatives. If not, who can safely adopt either of them?

Aunt Cen was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had thought too simply and that things were more complicated than she expected. Her eyes were red: "What can we do? Is there no more suitable children in the imperial clan?"

Is that so? Your Majesty wants a caring heir, why is it so difficult?!"

The Crown Princess sighed and felt a little down. In fact, if there really was a more suitable partner than Zhao Mo and His Highness the Crown Prince had no objections, how could she and the Crown Prince force a reluctant Zhao Mo to be their heir?

?

The Crown Princess did not notice that she had actually changed her attitude and began to consider the possibility of inheriting another clan's son.

There were faint voices outside the room, with a girl's silver bell-like laughter among them. When Crown Princess Tang heard it, she knew that her daughter, Princess Minshun, had arrived, and she must have come to meet her and go to attend.

For the Qianqing Palace family banquet.

The Crown Princess quickly regained her composure, returned to her dignified ladylike appearance, and whispered to Aunt Cen: "Don't leak a single word of what I just said to you to a third person, no matter who it is!"

Aunt Cen wiped away her tears and got up from the ground: "Don't worry, my dear, I understand."

Zhao Mo didn't know that there had been such a conversation between the Crown Princess and Aunt Cen, and that he was also involved in it. After attending the New Year's Day gathering, he specially talked with the elders in the clan and asked about some things.

, and then flowed out of the palace.

In fact, the prince originally wanted to invite Zhao Mo to attend the royal family banquet, but Zhao Mo asked others and found out that no other clan members were invited, not even the concubines, concubines and low-grade concubines in the palace.

I felt that the implications of this matter were too strong, so he got away with the excuse of going to see his father and pay homage to his deceased mother on New Year's Eve. In fact, after he left the palace, he only stopped by Zhao Shuo's house and then went home.

After paying homage to Mrs. Wen, when he saw that dinner was almost here, he went around the back door to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion and had dinner with the three other members of the Qin family, without even having to cook at home.

Mrs. Niu knew that he had been running out all day today, and was cold and hungry, and his heart ached tightly. Before the banquet started, he ordered someone to give him hot soup to warm him up. Zhao Mowo was in the main courtyard in the bedroom.

After drinking the soup in Xinuan Pavilion, he took his fiancée Qin Hanzhen and told her about the suspicious things he encountered today while there was no one else in Xinuan Pavilion.

Qin Hanzhen said: "My grandmother also heard about it at Cining Palace. Many female relatives of the clan were discussing it privately. Some noble families also heard about the imperial edicts, but most people didn't know about it. My grandmother said,

The Cai family, the Min family, the Ma family and the Yao family all heard about it for the first time today. The Huang family had vaguely heard some news, but the three old ladies of the Huang family said privately that it was just the prince of Shu and the daughter of the Chen family.

We met twice, and there was just a little ambiguity. It wasn't a big deal, and I don't know why it suddenly spread."

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "So, it's not because I have no information? Cousin, have you noticed who are the people who know about it?"

Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "Several families in the clan know about it, and others... seem to be known to families who are married to the royal family or the clan. Foreign ministers have never heard of it at all. Our family does not have a wide range of contacts.

The royal family and relatives are mostly kept in the dark."

Zhao Mo touched his chin: "This is strange...Who is spreading these rumors? It has spread to so many people in a short period of time. It does not seem like a normal rumor, but more like someone."

It was done on purpose.”
