Xiao Zhihan and Jin Yu each held a child, their faces were full of smiles, their eyes were full of tenderness and doting, and they kept calling softly.
'Dabao, Xiaobao...'
Although Xiao Zhihan likes her two eldest grandsons very much and wants to stay with her sons, she is not the kind of indecisive and short-sighted woman who only knows how to parent.
She knew her son's current situation and didn't want to cause any trouble to her son, so she stayed with Zhou Chen until her son's time passed and left reluctantly.
After they left, Gong Yu drank some more soup before leaning against Zhou Chen.
Because Gong Yu gave birth to two children, although the children were taken care of by Aunt Ji and the maids most of the time, she also had to breastfeed frequently, so she had to sleep separately from Zhou Chen for a period of time because she was worried that it would affect Zhou Chen.
Although Zhou Chen didn't mind, Gong Yu was very insistent, so he had no choice but to agree, but he would stay with Gong Yu late every night.
"Mother really likes Dabao and Xiaobao."
When Gong Yu talked about this, she couldn't help but smile on her face. In her opinion, her mother-in-law liked her two sons as much as she recognized her.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Of course, I heard that if my father didn't want my mother to suffer, she would definitely have more children."
Gong Yu said: "I think the young master is the best, and my mother must think so too."
Zhou Chen pinched Gong Yu's nose and said, "You are really getting better and better at talking now."
During the Spring Festival, Mei Changsu specially brought many gifts to visit Zhou Chen. At the same time, he also looked at Zhou Chen's two sons, with a childlike smile on his face.
A few days have passed, and the baby has grown a lot, and is no longer as ugly as when he was born. Now his skin is pink and white, and he is very cute.
Even Xiao Feiliu was so happy when he saw Dabao and Xiaobao that he teased and played with them carefully.
In addition to Mei Changsu, others also sent gifts, such as Yan Yujin, Xia Dong, Meng Zhi, etc.
Princess Weiyang also sent Xie Bi to deliver gifts, and even Emperor Liang rewarded her with something after hearing about this incident.
Even Prince Jing sent a lot of gifts after learning about it.
Royal Palace!
The first imperial meeting after the New Year had just ended, and Emperor Liang returned to the Yangju Hall in a bad mood.
Today is the first major court meeting. After so many days of rest, there is a lot to discuss, so the court meeting is also very long.
What made him unhappy was that for some reason today, a large number of courtiers in the court were urging him to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible, and the one who voiced the loudest voice was naturally Prince Jing.
Among the many princes today, Prince Jing is undoubtedly the most powerful. In fact, since Xiao Jingxuan was deposed, he has also been very fond of Prince Jing.
But the problem is that he could propose to make Prince Jing the crown prince, but with so many courtiers unanimously wanting to make Prince Jing the crown prince during the great court meeting, he was not in a good mood.
In his heart, the crown prince must be decided by me, the emperor, but today's matter seems to be coercing him, as if it will not work without the establishment of Prince Jing.
What do these courtiers want to do? I am not dead yet, and you are ready to join the new master?
If he was really that reassuring, he would not support Prince Yu in fighting the crown prince even after he was crowned prince.
After the crown prince fell, he immediately put Prince Jing on the throne to compete with Prince Yu.
The game is all about balance, how can it be decided by the courtiers?
He originally intended to make Prince Jing the crown prince, but when the courtiers made such a fuss, he was not in a hurry. He wanted everyone to understand that he had the final say whether to make Prince Jing a prince or not.
In the Yangju Palace, he rubbed his temples. As he grew older, his efficiency in handling things dropped sharply. Most of the time, he didn't want to deal with it. He wanted someone to help him share the burden, but he didn't want to hand over the power.
"Gao Zhan, what do you think of Jingyan? Can he be worthy of the position of prince?"
The old eunuch Gao Zhan was so violently shocked that he almost lost his soul.
"Your Majesty, this is a matter related to the Crown Prince. You can discuss it with the ministers or the Queen. I am just a slave, so I don't dare to say anything."
Emperor Liang glared at him and snorted coldly: "You have been with me for decades. You know all about my children, but you don't dare to say anything. You have no courage at all?"
Gao Zhan licked his face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are right, I just don't have the guts. I just need to serve Your Majesty well. Other things have nothing to do with me."
"hehe."
Emperor Liang smiled helplessly. He knew who Gao Zhan was, but he just asked casually and didn't think Gao Zhan could give him a satisfactory answer.
At this time, a young eunuch walked in and told Emperor Liang that Xia Dong, the Secretary of the Hanging Mirror, wanted to see him.
Emperor Liang was a little confused: "Xia Dong? Why did she come to see me?"
Ever since what happened with Xia Jiang, he had a lot of opinions on the Xuanjing Division. Although he did not completely abolish the Xuanjing Division, he temporarily sealed it up.
He did not punish Xia Dong for his crimes. Xia Dong was still the master of the mirror, but he did not have the real power as before.
When Gao Zhan heard Emperor Liang's cry, his eyes flashed and he whispered: "Your Majesty, Sir Xia Dong's visit is probably related to the traitor Xia Jiang."
"Xia Jiang? Is he still in jail? Is Xia Dong here to plead for mercy?"
Although Emperor Liang was confused, he thought about it and decided to call Xia Dong in.
Not long after, Xia Dong walked in under the leadership of the inner prisoner.
"Xia Dong, a humble minister, comes to see His Majesty."
Emperor Liang said in a deep voice: "Xia Dong, why do you come to see me?"
Xia Dong raised his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I came here today because I found a kit. The contents of this kit are very important. I didn't dare to be careless. I wanted to give it to you as soon as possible.
His Majesty."
"Tips?"
Emperor Liang was confused: "What's the tip bag? What are you talking about?"
Without saying anything, Xia Dong took out a brochure bag. At Emperor Liang's signal, Gao Zhan walked over and took it, then handed it to Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang looked at the kit in his hand and became even more curious.
"Where did this kit come from? Looking at you like this, is it possible that there really is some big secret in it?"
Xia Dong kowtowed to the ground and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This was originally something that belonged to my master. It was accidentally discovered by Wei Chen. Wei Chen originally thought it was not an important thing, but who knew that there was something huge hidden inside?"
My secret, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Liang's curiosity was completely aroused: "I want to see what it is that scares you like this."
With that said, he opened the kit and saw what seemed to be a piece of paper inside. He took it out and opened it.
In just a few breaths, his expression changed and became very ugly. Then he sat up straight and stared at the letter.
"boom!"
The angry Emperor Liang slapped the letter on the table and roared: "Traitor, traitor, traitor."
His roar startled everyone in the hall. Everyone including Gao Zhan involuntarily knelt down and knelt on the ground, daring not to speak.
Emperor Liang paid no attention to them, but stared fiercely at Xia Dong below.
"Xia Dong, tell me, was this kit really found from the traitor Xia Jiang?"
Xia Dong said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will never dare to lie. This thing was indeed found among Master's things. It is precisely because the matter is so important that I will come to see Your Majesty as soon as possible and ask Your Majesty to forgive me.
"
Emperor Liang took a deep breath and asked again: "Has anyone else seen the letter in this brocade bag besides you?"
Xia Dong said: "Wei Chen has not been seen by anyone, except Wei Chen, no one else."
There was a cold light in Emperor Liang's eyes, and Xia Dong was also in a nervous mood. What happened this time was actually very risky, but for the sake of the plan and to bring down Xia Jiang, she still chose to do it herself.
Gao Zhan, who was most familiar with Emperor Liang, felt that Emperor Liang had murderous intentions even while he was kneeling, and he couldn't help but worry about Xia Dong.
Fortunately, Emperor Liang was silent for a long time and finally released his fist.
"Xia Dong, you have to keep this letter rotten in your stomach, do you understand?"
"Your Majesty, I have never seen this letter or this bag of tips."
Emperor Liang nodded with satisfaction: "Don't ask any more about this matter. I know it well. Please step back."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
Xia Dong walked out of the Yangju Hall. She felt that her back was soaked. Facing such a suspicious emperor, she was naturally nervous to take such a risk and do such a thing.
In the palace, Emperor Liang looked at the letter on the table with a gloomy expression. Princess Linglong was a thorn in his heart. It was because of this thorn that he never considered making Prince Yu the crown prince, let alone
It is time to inherit his throne.
The relationship between Prince Yu and Princess Linglong is the most taboo among taboos and must not be spread out.
