"Zi Tong, you see, Qi Yue has passed away now, but this child must be raised by someone. If others find out that Huang Er's background is not good, it may be bad for his future. It just so happens that Zi Tong just sent someone to tell you that you gave birth to the child.
Lin'er, how about we just make the mistake and treat this child as if it was you?"
After Yang Jiong was happy, his mind suddenly started spinning rapidly.
Nowadays, Concubine Cui is the dominant one in the harem, and the Cui family's party is becoming more and more rampant.
He was depressed, and the only one who could check and balance Cui Guifei in the harem was the queen.
But the queen never gave birth to a child. In the final analysis, she could not stand up straight.
Now this child, like a gift from God, has just solved the dilemma.
However, Yang Jiong has always known that although the queen is a virtuous person, she is still very arrogant.
I'm afraid that she won't accept the palace maid's son as her legitimate son.
After all, the queen's legitimate son is the absolute candidate for the crown prince.
After all, Yang Jiong felt a little guilty and was deeply afraid that the queen would not agree.
If you don't agree, just because the child in your arms has lost his mother at birth, in this cannibal palace, the mother clan has no power and no one to protect him, and it is unknown whether he can grow up.
"Don't worry Zitong, this child will be your biological child from now on. I will never let him know his life experience."
Speaking of this, Yang Jiong's heart flashed with murderous intent.
As long as all the people serving the Queen in Fengyi Palace are killed, the dead will never speak.
Shi Jiang laughed angrily, this scumbag still wanted to kill her people?
"The emperor has an order, and I must obey it. However, I don't have many servants here, and I don't talk nonsense."
Hearing what the queen said, Yang Jiong paused and looked at Shi Jiang carefully.
"Since Zitong said this, then I will listen to Zitong."
In the final analysis, as long as the queen can keep her son, it will not do any harm to the emperor if he lets the son know that the queen is not his biological mother in the future.
It can even inhibit the growth of the Queen's natal family in the future.
After the two people discussed it, the whole court received the news that the queen had given birth to a prince, named Yang Ji, and Concubine Cui's son was also named Yang Jian.
The whole country celebrated, and Shi Jiang, who had been hiding in Fengyi Palace for almost a year, finally walked in front of the people in the harem again.
Originally, Concubine Cui took advantage of the Queen's huddle in the Fengyi Palace, and wanted to get wind and rain in the harem.
But now, all things have been taken care of by the queen.
Shi Jiang smiled and asked Concubine Cui to take good care of her frail prince, and Concubine Cui had to squeeze out a smile to thank her.
In the past, Concubine Cui would not have shown a smile.
A few days ago, her father came into the palace and told her earnestly that things were different now.
It's better to be polite to the queen. After all, the royalists have caught the Cui family for a lot of reasons and are now impeaching her!
If something happens again in the harem, it will definitely have a great impact on the Cui family.
Therefore, if you can avoid it, do so first.
On the other hand, the queen was right. She now relies entirely on the emperor's body.
Only if the emperor's son grows up well, can he possibly compete with the queen's son.
After all, although the queen gave birth to a legitimate son, she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son.
As a noble concubine, and with the support of the Cui family, it is really hard to say who will become the crown prince and inherit the emperor's throne.
However, Concubine Cui is now a fool when it comes to her son.
Because of the premature birth, the child was soaked in medicine jars every day, and his body was always very weak. He would have a fever and cold every three days.
Compared with her children, the Queen's child is very strong and very capable.
In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.
Yang Ji and Yang Jian were studying together in the study room. However, Yang Ji memorized an article assigned by the teacher the day before yesterday very fluently, but Yang Jian stumbled and missed few words.
The teacher was very angry about this, but Yang Jian couldn't help it.
There is no other reason. The eldest prince's body is really weak. If he uses a ruler to do something good or bad, I am afraid that Concubine Cui will eat her.
For this reason, the teacher could only angrily punish the eldest prince for copying the memorized article ten times.
When Yang Jian heard this punishment, tears welled up in his eyes, and his face was full of frustration.
If my mother and concubine knew that she was not as good as my brother Ji when she returned home, she would definitely scold her.
Shi Jiang was handling palace affairs in the palace, calculating the accounts of the properties under his name over the years, and let out a long breath.
With her reputation as a queen as her backing, the business she sent people to do was simply making money every day.
Especially on Yun Jin's side, without Yang Jiong knowing, Jin Yiwei was clearly his, but secretly she had become Shi Jiang's.
However, even if Shi Jiang had the support of the royalist faction and Yun Jin, it was not enough.
The people of Cui's group have deep-rooted power. If they really want to fight, both sides will lose.
Therefore, Shi Jiang had to win over General Qi.
Nowadays, the imperial treasury is tight, and what General Qi lacks most is food and grass.
After all, so many soldiers had to rely on government funding for food and clothing.
But there is only so much money in the treasury, and it is impossible to give it all to the border gates as food and fodder, and other departments in the imperial court will not be able to use it without food or drink.
For this reason, it can be said that General Qi lived a very difficult life at the border.
What Shi Jiang has to do now is to earn a lot of money and support General Qi when necessary.
This was not just because he wanted to win over General Qi, but because Shi Jiang felt that if the soldiers at the border were short of food and clothing when resisting foreign enemies, how chilling would it be?
Moreover, if something happens to General Qi and the border is lost, the people of Li will suffer. This is not what Shi Jiang wants to see.
When Yun Jin first learned about Shi Jiang's thoughts, he scoffed and expressed disdain.
However, it was obvious that his attitude towards her after that was much more respectful.
A queen who can think about the people, how bad can she be if she cooperates with her?
When Yang Ji took the young eunuch back to Fengyi Palace, Shi Jiang had already taken care of all the palace affairs and was drinking tea.
"Mother."
Seeing Shi Jiang, Yang Ji, who was originally mature and steady, immediately rushed toward her.
"What's going on?"
When Shi Jiang saw Yang Ji rushing towards him, he quickly put down the teacup and held Yang Ji up with his backhand to prevent the tea in the cup from splashing on the child.
"Mother, the teacher punished the emperor's brother again. Ji'er saw that the emperor's brother was crying so sadly that he refused to go back. Ji'er thought that if the emperor's brother was scolded by Concubine Cui when he went back today, could he bring the emperor's brother to the mother's side tomorrow?
Come and hide?"
Yang Ji looked up at Shi Jiang with expectations in his eyes. He felt that his mother was so good that she would definitely agree.
