Dressed as a Rebellious Vicious Stepmother 20
The next day, Xihe took Meng Huaiyu to the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Prime Minister Qiang saw her, his eyes were either eyes or nose. Originally, he didn't want to let King Yu go out so early. After all, His Majesty is quite afraid of the prince now, leaving King Yu to deal with it.
It is also a guarantee for the prince, but this damn girl actually said that Huaiyu belongs to the first prince...
Prime Minister Qiang glanced at the baby in Xihe's arms, his eyes were bright and lively, and he really looked like a former prince.
But... so what if he is the orphan of the former crown prince? There are many princes alive now. If this child's identity is exposed, Your Majesty will only think that they are ambitious and will bring trouble to the Marquis's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After thinking about it like this, he looked at Xihe: "What does Meng Yuchuan mean?"
What was Meng Yuchuan's intention in taking a huge risk to protect the orphan of the late crown prince? Could it be that he also wanted to personally protect an emperor? If that was the case, then it would make sense for the second girl to persuade him to give up the crown prince again and again.
Thinking of this, his face suddenly darkened: "Your sister is the crown prince, and the Qiang family has long been tied to the prince's boat. Even if the prince betrays the Qiang family, he will not be able to escape from the relationship. Don't be confused, you are the daughter of the Qiang family!"
The servants in the study had already retired, leaving only their father and daughter, plus Meng Huaiyu.
Prime Minister Qiang's face darkened, and the little guy trembled all over, subconsciously hugging Xihe tightly.
Xihe patted the little guy on the back and looked at Prime Minister Qiang with disapproval: "Dad, you scared Huaiyu." The topic changed, "Dad, you think too much. My husband and I only want Huaiyu in this life.
Be happy and do what you want to do. As for who is on the throne, we don't care."
She didn't lie. When Meng Yuchuan told her Meng Huaiyu's identity, he said that he would not deliberately push the little guy to the throne and only hoped that the child could live a happy life.
Meng Yuchuan's care for Meng Huaiyu naturally had some origins. When the former prince was still alive, they were rare friends. So when he knew that the prince Shu still had a son, he was afraid that the little boy would be killed in the palace. This
Only then did he take the risk and use a trick to keep the child under his knees.
Can Prime Minister Qiang believe what they say? Of course not.
Who doesn't want to be promoted to a noble position, and who doesn't want Jane to be in the emperor's heart? With such a good bargaining chip, everyone will make plans for themselves.
But Prime Minister Qiang still nodded with a cold face: "This is the best!"
He thought to himself, let the child live for the time being. When the prince ascended the throne and everything settled, he would quietly send someone to kill the child unknowingly. If the prince really failed... Prime Minister Qiang touched his beard.
, decided to go back and ask Madam to pay more attention to the child.
As soon as Xihe saw the scheming look on Prime Minister Qiang's face, he knew that this old guy didn't have any good plans.
However, either she or Meng Yuchuan could protect Meng Huaiyu 100% as long as they were alive, so naturally they didn't take Prime Minister Qiang's plan to heart.
So, King Yu received the lunch box, and the male protagonist began to embark on his own destiny.
However, the capital city was still uneasy and the court was noisy every day. Several princes jumped out and started fighting with the prince one after another.
The emperor sat on a mountain and watched the tiger fight, but he didn't stop it.
The prince suddenly became cold-hearted and believed the counselor's words more and more. His father was really afraid of him and started to target him.
"Father-in-law, what should I do with my son-in-law?"
Prime Minister Qiang hurriedly avoided the prince's salute, thought for two seconds, and said: "We should remain unchanged in the face of all changes. The prince just does his job and leaves your majesty speechless."
There are so many courtiers, and the prince is not wrong. Your Majesty can't find a reason to punish them.
The prince bowed his head again and said, "My son-in-law listens to my father-in-law."
Naturally, the Qiang Prime Minister did not dare to accept the prince's courtesy, but the prince respected him, and he was extremely satisfied. Even when he left the palace gate, he was still stroking his beard with a smile on his face.
However, as soon as he left, a person came out from behind the screen: "Prince."
The prince brushed his sleeves, Shi Shiran sat on the chair and raised his hand: "Sit down, Zi Qin. Did you hear what the prime minister just said?"
Ziqin bowed respectfully and fully, then stood up from the ground and sat down at the bottom: "Back to Your Highness, Ziqin heard what the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister acted with foresight and prudence, but it is unavoidable that I have wronged Your Highness."
The prince's hand holding the tea paused for a moment because it was not visible, then returned to his natural state: "Oh?"
Zi Qin spoke eloquently: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, has thought carefully and considered His Majesty's fear of the Crown Prince, so that the Crown Prince restrains his glory. It's just Your Majesty. How can the fifth prince and the eldest prince compare with you? Let you stay away from them.
They are not afraid of shortening their lifespan!" He was filled with indignation at the end.
"Your Highness, I see, it is better for you to retreat than to advance! Your Majesty is already old, and all the ministers in the court are convinced of you. You can simply show your identity as the crown prince and let everyone know that you are the next emperor!"
"Asshole!"
The prince suddenly became angry.
Ziqin was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness is happy and angry!"
The prince's face remained full of joy and anger: "I have great respect for my father. I pray every day that my father can live for thousands of years and protect our children and grandchildren. How dare you criticize my father like this? Have you lived enough?"
Ziqin was so frightened that his two sides trembled, and he kept kowtowing: "Your Highness clearly knows that I have no such intention!"
The prince turned around: "Go down."
Ziqin couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly retreated.
Not long after, Prime Minister Qiang, who thought he had successfully admonished the prince, suddenly discovered that the prince was getting more and more arrogant.
Not only did he put forward opinions on political affairs in the court, but he also responded unceremoniously when targeted by several princes. The emperor scolded him in front of all the civil and military officials, and the prince could even ask without changing his expression: "Father, what did you do to me?"
have?"
emperor:!!!
Prime Minister Qiang also widened his eyes.
The civil and military officials loudly said: "Your Majesty, this case was decided by my subordinates and has nothing to do with the prince!"
The whole court was as lively as a vegetable market. Everyone was blushing and begging for mercy for the prince. The few officials who were not involved in any faction looked at the prince who was standing straight, and then looked at the dark face of His Majesty on the throne.
He quickly lowered his head, wishing he could shrink into a ball.
It is said that after the morning meeting, the emperor returned to the harem, smashed many things in anger, and even scolded Li Fei, whom Baba had tried to please.
Prime Minister Qiang was so angry that he felt dizzy. He went to see the prince as soon as he went to court, but he was told lightly: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has other plans."
Have other plans? What plans? Why not discuss it with him?
Prime Minister Qiang wanted to ask clearly, but the official of the East Palace said that the prince had a headache and needed to rest, so he was sent out without refusal.
Prime Minister Qiang: "..."
Stomping his feet, he turned around and stormed out of the palace angrily.
Xihe didn't pay attention to the affairs in the court for the time being. She received a letter from the border officer. In about two months, Meng Yuchuan would return to the court with his troops.
