Prince Chu's Mansion
In the spacious and elegant hall, various blue and white porcelain vases are placed on the high tables. Under the bright lights, the light and shadow can be seen shining, and the incense sticks on the incense table are burning.
"My son, I obey the decree, long live long live long live."
In the hall, King Chen Qin of Chu knelt down on the futon in front of the incense table. He received the imperial edict on the jade scroll and yellow silk. Immediately, he stood up. He was handsome and had two abnormal traces of blood on his fair face.
Deep red.
This kind of joy is more exciting than winning the Super Lotto.
And Zhen Qing, who was behind a wooden, stone and mica screen, also had a happy smile on her bright and pure face.
Dai Quan also had a smile on his fair face and said: "Your Highness, in the next two days we can replace the plaque, add ceremonial guards, carriages and horses. In addition, the grand ceremony for the inauguration of the Imperial Ancestral Temple will be held in the spring of next year."
It is quite sad to say that this vassal king who was born as a concubine actually entered the East Palace. On the contrary, the Wei and Liang vassals, who had all their concubines in the harem, did not gain anything.
King Chen Qin of Chu nodded and said, "Thank you for your service, my father-in-law."
As he said that, he winked at Shi Liao Xian, the chief minister of the Prince of Chu's palace who was standing at the side.
Liao Xian responded softly, and as he spoke, he escorted Dai Quan out of the hall. Before leaving, he stuffed 20,000 taels of silver notes into Dai Quan's hand.
After Dai Quan left, King Chen Qin of Chu took the imperial edict and entered the back hall, looking at Zhen Qing who was standing there.
On his handsome and fair face, he could not conceal his joy at last, and his voice was clearly filled with excitement, and he said: "Princess, what you have wanted for many years has finally come true today."
At this moment, King Chu almost wanted to dance, or in other words, he just wanted to sing loudly.
From then on, he became the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, and from then on he conquered the world, ascended to Kyushu, and took control of the power of life and death. This was undoubtedly a man's lifelong dream.
Although Chen Qin was born as a commoner, he could one day become a sage king.
Zhen Qing's bright and beautiful face had a slight smile and she said: "My lord, you should guard against arrogance and impatience, and don't be too frivolous."
At this moment, King Chu forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and his face was somewhat calm, and he said: "The princess said it is."
Zhen Qing chuckled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, I will call you Crown Princess from now on."
King Chu: "..."
Yes, I just told him to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. He didn't want to think that he was already a princess.
Zhen Qing's eyebrows were filled with joy, her beautiful eyes were soft and slightly gleaming, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty will be the Crown Prince from now on."
In another two years, she will be the emperor, and now she is the crown princess, and from now on she will be the most noble and noble empress in the world.
King Chu asked: "Princess, where are Jie'er and Yinyin?"
His pair of children are his treasures. If it weren't for Jie'er, how could he surpass Wei Wang Chen Ran.
Under Zhen Qing's beautiful willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were slightly moist, and she said: "Your Majesty, Jie'er and Yin Yin are in the backyard right now, and they are being taken care of by grandma. I will ask grandma to carry them over.
.”
Thanks to Ziyu for giving her a pair of smart and cute twins.
When the prince ascends to the throne in the future, Zi Yu will still be able to assist in state affairs in the previous dynasty.
At this moment, Chu King Chen Qin nodded and said, "I'd better go to the backyard. It's such a cold day. I'll go check on them."
These are his cute baby and Fu Bao.
As the couple spoke, they headed towards the backyard with a joyous atmosphere.
At this moment, in the backyard hall——
Several nuns and maids were serving a pair of siblings, Chen Jie and Chen Yinyin, who were playing a hand-clapping game at the moment.
The two pink-faced children, whose facial features inherited Zhen Qing's fair complexion and Jia Heng's handsome facial features, almost looked like a pair of golden boys and girls.
King Chu Chen Qin quickly entered the wing and looked at the two children with a look of joy on his face.
If it weren't for Jie'er, he would never be able to defeat the King of Wei. Jie'er is really his lucky star.
"Daddy~" When Yinyin saw Chen Qin, she stared at her big eyes as bright as black grapes, calling softly and cutely, and waved towards Chen Qin with her two chubby little hands.
Chen Jie slowly cast his admiring and soft eyes towards his father and said, "Daddy."
"Jie'er." Chen Qin came forward, hugged Chen Jie and gave him a rare kiss.
Yinyin: "..."
Apparently the girl asked first for some reason, and it turned out that her father went to hug her younger brother first.
Princess Zhen Qing of Chu saw Chen Qin's "rareness" for her son, and a strange look appeared on her beautiful face. She came closer and suddenly picked up her daughter, who was carved in pink and jade. Under her beautiful willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes twinkled.
She paused and said coquettishly: "Yin Yin, let mother hug you."
Yinyin raised her pink and plump face, her eyes like black grapes rolled up, her voice was charming and inexplicable, and she said: "Mother, I want to be my godfather."
Zhen Qing: "???"
Is my daughter about to become a sperm?
Well, actually she had some thoughts.
On the side, King Chen Qin of Chu, who was holding his precious son and teasing him, raised his face with joy and said, "Princess, in two days, we will hold a banquet and invite the two sisters Ziyu and Lanxi over.
, summoning the King of Beijing and his younger brothers and sisters, it can be regarded as a family reunion, and as for other celebration banquets, they will not be held again. "
Zhen Qing smiled and said, "That's fine."
They are indeed a family. She and her sister have three children, and with Zi Yu, the family can be reunited.
King Chen Qin of Chu teased his son for a while and said: "In the past two days, the palace has strengthened the ceremonial guard and must be more vigilant to prevent criminals from entering the palace to assassinate."
Obviously, at this moment, King Chu remembered his unpleasant experience in Jiangnan.
…

Prince Wei's Mansion
Compared with the joyful atmosphere of the Prince of Chu's Palace, the atmosphere of the Prince of Wei's Palace was much gloomier.
King Chen Ran of Wei turned his fair face shrouded in gloom and came up. Under his sword-shaped brows, he looked at Song Jing with coldness in his eyes and said, "Uncle, we must not just sit back and wait for death."
Song Jing said: "That's what the prince said."
King Wei raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and said: "The country of the Han Dynasty cannot allow our father to be so capricious."
When Song Jing heard this, he frowned, his eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help being shocked.
Deng Wei also had an inexplicable look on his face. He suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you do this, you will not be able to protect your wealth."
King Wei's face was as white as jade, with a gloomy look, and he said: "With King Chu's mean heart, once he secures his position, I will definitely not be able to protect him!"
Father, this is all because of you!
What did the queen do wrong? She gave birth to three sons for you, but you didn’t choose any of the three sons. Instead, you chose the King of Chu who was from a vassal family?
This made both the queen mother and him a complete laughing stock!
It's his place, he wants to take it with his own hands!
Wei Wang Chen Ran's face was as white as jade, his facial features were almost distorted, and there seemed to be a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Deng Wei said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be done with caution and careful planning."
King Wei Chen Ran said: "Mr. Deng, do you have any good ideas?"
Deng Wei said: "Concubine Wei's father is in charge of the first battalion of the Beijing Camp. The prince has asked Concubine Wei to test her tone in the past two days."
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said: "That's what I meant."
Wei Xian's father, Runan Hou Wei Qi, was in charge of the first battalion of the Beijing Camp. After the previous expedition to Liaodong, the first batch of cavalry had returned to the capital.
Deng Wei lowered his voice and said: "In addition, His Highness has been in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division for a long time, and he should also be in secret contact with some close subordinates. This matter must be carried out in secret. If the matter is not kept secret, there will be harm."
Song Jing's face changed slightly and she said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter can easily be discovered by the Holy Master in the palace. If the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous."
Wei Wang Chen Ran frowned and said: "My father is now unable to see due to eye disease, and his control over the affairs of the court has been greatly weakened. The guards of the Jinyi Mansion are in the hands of Qiu Liang, and it is up to Gu to persuade Qiu Liang."
Seeing this, Song Jing hesitated and said: "Your Highness, do you want to discuss it with Jia Ziyu?"
King Wei Chen Ran frowned and said angrily: "If he had supported me, how would I be today?"
It can be said that with Jia Heng's prestige and strength, it is really possible to turn things around, so the King of Chu wanted to win over Jia Heng as soon as he was established as the East Palace.
In the past, it was impossible to win over because the situation was unclear, and if you stood on the wrong team, you might be in trouble. But now that the status is established, there is no such thing.
Song Jing sighed and said: "However, Ziyu should not hinder His Highness."
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "He has always only obeyed his father's orders. It's hard to say."
It can be said that at this moment, the King of Wei has "turned from love to hatred" towards Jia Heng, because Jia Heng took the benefits and did nothing.
Just as King Chen Ran of Wei was gritting his teeth and resenting it, a young servant quickly entered the hall and said, "Your Highness, Prince Liang is here to visit."
King Chen Ran of Wei couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his fair face, and said in a low voice: "Please come quickly."
After a while, Liang Wang Chen Wei's face looked a little unattractive. As soon as he entered the study, he saw Wei Wang Chen Ran and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, what is this?"
Apparently, he also heard the news that Emperor Chongping appointed King Chu as his crown prince.
Chen Ran nodded and said: "Sixth brother, you are here."
Brothers fighting tigers, father and son went into battle. He and the two brothers of Liang Wang conspired together to accomplish great things, and the success of things was undoubtedly much greater.
With that said, King Chen Ran of Wei invited King Chen Wei of Liang to sit down.
Liang Wang Chen Wei frowned and said in a irritated voice: "What is your father going to do? My mother and concubine have served my father wholeheartedly for more than 20 years. Even if our two brothers cannot stand, how can the eighth brother not stand? No?"
We want to establish a king of Chu who is born as a palace concubine? How will my mother and I get along with each other?"
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "Brother Liang Wang is saying that I can't figure out why my father chose people like the King of Chu."
Liang Wang Chen Wei came now, looked at Wei Wang Chen Ran, and said: "Brother Wei Wang, we must not let the Han Dynasty fall into the hands of vassals like the King of Chu."
Wei King Chen Ran, under his sword-browed eyebrows, looked coldly and incomprehensibly, and said: "This matter needs long-term consideration."
Liang Wang Chen Wei said: "It is better to contact the queen through other channels."
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said: "This matter cannot be done without the support of the queen, otherwise, you and I will have a dark eye on the situation in the palace."
It is worth mentioning that although Empress Song was banned by Emperor Chongping, it did not mean that Empress Song had no way to get rid of this situation.
Empress Song had controlled the Sixth Palace for so many years. The internal eunuchs and maids of the entire Sixth Palace were almost filled with Empress Song's cronies. Emperor Chongping could not replace the entire Sixth Palace system in his eagerness.
Of course, the reason why Empress Song was willing to be trapped in the palace was because there was only one chance to break out of the constraints.
King Liang's face was filled with coldness, and he said: "Brother Wang said that the most urgent task now is to contact the queen mother for news."
Wei Wang Chen Ran's eyes flashed and he said: "Brother Liang Wang, please take a step to speak."
King Liang nodded, and then followed King Wei Chen Ran into the inner chamber to talk.
…
…
Let’s not mention the grand plans of the Wei and Liang vassals for the time being, but talk about the palace garden, Hanyuan Hall, and the inner study room——
As the season enters the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, the climate in the vast northwest is so cold that the breath almost turns to ice, biting the bones, and the biting cold wind howls across the land.
Emperor Chongping was lying on a bed covered with soft mattresses, with a thick quilt covering his body. At this moment, his cheeks were sunken, and his whole body exuded a strong and extremely deadly aura.
After nineteen years of imperial rule, this emperor gradually came to the end of his life.
"Dai Quan, has the imperial decree been passed to the King of Chu?" Emperor Chongping coughed a few times and asked.
Dai Quan bowed forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the King of Chu has accepted the imperial edict and bows to express his gratitude for His grace."
Emperor Chongping looked haggard and said with a hint of regret in his thin voice: "We were unable to convene a great dynasty and read out the imperial edict in front of all civil and military officials, but it lacked a bit of grandeur. Now the edict is being issued to both China and foreign countries.
It’s known to everyone in the world.”
Because Emperor Chongping was not suitable to attend grand ceremonies such as court meetings, as for the new crown prince's worship of the Ancestral Temple, he had to be "authenticated" by the ancestors of the Chen and Han Dynasties, because after the Ancestral Temple was bombed, there was no place to worship.
In fact, this also gave the two brothers King Wei and King Liang something to criticize.
After all, the King of Chu could deceive Sheng Cong, fake the imperial edict and deceive his subordinates, and completely ignore the previous edict to establish the crown prince. As long as the King of Wei is strong enough, he can suppress all dissatisfaction in the capital.
After all, strictly speaking, Emperor Chongping also ascended to the throne by initiating palace changes.
It can be said that the succession of the throne in the Chen-Han Dynasty originally had the fine tradition of the "Law of Succession of the Guards".
Dai Quan nodded and said softly: "By the beginning of next spring, the Ancestral Temple should have been completed. By then, Your Majesty will be able to go to the Ancestral Temple."
"King Wei, what has he been doing in the past two days?" Emperor Chongping paused and suddenly said.
Dai Quan said: "I have been serving your majesty these days, but I haven't sent anyone to pay attention to you."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and said: "Send someone to pay attention."
It was not that Emperor Chongping had not thought of forcing King Wei to join the vassal state for a while, but it was the twelfth lunar month and the cold winter was approaching, so the emperor still felt a little unbearable.
When Dai Quan heard this, he didn't say much else and just handed it over.
Emperor Chongping asked again: "How have Kunning Palace and Funing Palace been doing in the past two days?"
Dai Quan said: "Your Majesty, in addition to taking care of the little prince and princess every day, the queen also prays for your majesty."
Emperor Chongping was silent again for a while, and this time, it could be said that he was silent for a long time.
"Back off."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dai Quan said yes, and then slowly retreated.
When Dai Quan turned around and left, Emperor Chongping sighed softly, his eyes were deep, and he felt inexplicably sad for a moment.
I hope that his body and bones can survive next spring, and then he can calmly arrange some things behind him.
Although the King of Chu cannot be said to be perfect, he is almost there.
…
…
Kunning Palace
There is an earth dragon burning under the dormitory hall, and the steaming hot air spreads out in all directions, almost making the whole room feel like spring all year round. Frost condensation can be seen on the carved glass windows, and it slides quietly along the glass windows, leaving a few watermarks.
.
On an apricot-yellow futon, there is a beauty wearing a light yellow dress. Her hair has not been braided into a bun, and it is like a waterfall of green silk hanging down on her waist. Her bright and plump face may be due to the recent events.
Worry undoubtedly adds a bit of haggardness.
Empress Song was kneeling on an apricot-yellow futon. On the table not far in front, you could see the pattern of a Buddha statue. She was indeed praying, but not for blessings, but for cursing the ruthless Emperor Chongping.
Ever since Emperor Chongping ordered the palace guards to confine Empress Song, the relationship between the two of them as husband and wife was undoubtedly severe.
As for the guilt that Queen Song originally felt, it seems that it has completely dissipated.
At this moment, a nun said: "Madam, the little prince and the little princess are awake."
Empress Song turned around and came over. Her plump, white face was shining brightly in the sunlight, and she said, "I'll go take a look."
While talking, he walked towards the bedroom.
At this moment, it can be seen that in the warm pavilion of the dormitory, on a soft wooden couch covered with blankets and mattresses, the little prince Chen Luo's eyes like black grapes rolled up and looked at Empress Song with great agility, saying: "Mother.
"
A nun said with a smile: "Madam, the little prince was just talking about you."
Queen Song came close enough to touch Chen Luo's plump face and said, "Luo'er, do you want to kiss your mother?"
At this moment, the beauty's face paused slightly, and she stared at the facial features that resembled Jia Heng's. This beauty couldn't help but feel a little fondness in her heart.
Turning around, the beauty frowned, and there was some resentment in her heart.
How could that heartless person treat him like that? He didn’t know how to give her any advice!
At this moment, Chen Qianqian was holding a bamboo dragonfly in her hand and called out in a waxy voice: "Mother, play with me~"
Queen Song stared at her pair of cute and smart children, with a hint of trance in her eyes.
The beauty was thinking like this, and suddenly a female official walked forward lightly and whispered: "My dear, this is a letter from His Highness the King of Wei."
Hearing the words, the beauty turned her head and walked away. She took a piece of paper from the female officer and looked down at it, her pupils shrinking sharply.
Immediately, the beauty rolled up the note, her jade face as crystal clear as snow, as cold as frost.
