Chapter 123: False and confusing
The current Emperor Yongde came to power in his forties and has been in power for twenty-five years.
The process of rising to the top was quite difficult, and I encountered several major dangers. He had three wives. After he came to power, he made his first wife's eldest son the crown prince. But something happened later and the prince died after being imprisoned.
The current prince is the son of the second queen. When he was young, he once helped the emperor fend off a disaster and was poisoned, although he was rescued. But the damage is great. If you are usually weak, and then you get sick, you will not only be in extreme physical pain, but you will also be in a state of madness mentally.
Perhaps because of this, the emperor feels more at ease? He overcame all opinions and established himself as the crown prince.
He is one of the few people that the emperor can still treat sincerely.
Actually, the emperor’s favorite was Li Dingqian, the emperor’s fifth son born from Concubine Yun.
When the emperor first ascended the throne, he drove all the adult princes out of the capital one after another, leaving only the prince and one King Xiang.
Everyone speculates that the prince is just the emperor's puppet standing in front of King Xiang. When the time comes, the country will still be handed over to him.
It’s just that a few years ago during the autumn hunting trip, King Xiang suddenly disappeared.
A prince disappeared so mysteriously...
The emperor has been bloodbathed many times, but there is still no news.
Concubine Yun Guifei had only one son, and she died in depression due to anger and sadness.
The mother-in-law of King Wu lived peacefully and peacefully in the palace, and finally became the noble concubine Xiang.
At the end of the year, it is the emperor's sixty-sixth birthday. Princes from all over the country, including the King of Wu, will come back to pay homage to the emperor.
…
In the East Palace, the Crown Princess and her people were heading to the study room.
Someone was waiting on the side of the road. When she came over, she saluted, leaned close and whispered, "My wife, I followed Taisun to the East Street. The carriage turned a few corners... Then, the carriage was there, and His Highness Taisun should not be in the car anymore!"
The Crown Princess frowned slightly. She was over forty years old, but she looked very young and looked to be in her early thirties.
Have an oval face, thick hair, dignified appearance and dignified behavior.
The prince is in poor health and avoids many things, so the princess never smokes her clothes and does not use powder. The whole person is pure and clean, looking capable and sober.
Although the prince was in poor health, he was noble, intelligent and talented, and he treated her well.
Her life was really good. She gave birth to her grandson more than a year after entering the house.
For the convenience of taking care of him, she often stayed with the prince. Slowly, my horizons were broadened. I deeply feel that women should not be limited to the back house and restricted by rules, but should have a broader world.
After so many years, she feels that she is able to strategize, much like the legendary Shangguan Wan'er.
At this moment, when he heard the reply from his subordinates, his face was expressionless, but he snorted coldly in his heart and walked forward again.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, someone came forward and saluted, "Mother, your Royal Highness is inside!"
The Crown Princess's heart and footsteps were both stunned...
The prince is here? !
Then, she straightened her mood and put a smile on her face. He went in quietly and said, "Your Highness, I have been looking for you for a long time. I just fell in love with you, but now I am here on official business again?"
The person sitting at the desk and writing is Prince Li Chi.
Medium height, ordinary appearance. The man is a little puffy and his face is dark and yellow. Sitting there, although his expression was gentle, his demeanor was graceful.
When the prince saw his wife coming in, he put down his pen and smiled slightly, "I feel pretty good today, so let's take a look. Don't worry, Princess, if you're not tired!"
"Humph! Of course you would say that!" She stepped forward and touched the prince's hand, "Yeah. Isn't it cold?"
“It’s not cold! I’m not made of clay. Where is my son?!”
“He ran away, didn’t say where he was going...Have you taken any medicine?”
“I used what I had in the morning, and I’ll need it again later!” The prince was very worried.
"What do you want to do? Tell me, I will help you write it."
"Okay! Are these your words?! Not bad! It's quite powerful."
“It’s rare for His Highness to praise you!”
“This is not a compliment...you and Huan’er have done well! It’s not good to be alone, thank you for your hard work.”
“Not to mention hard work, I don’t know how happy I am to be with you in the front study!”
The prince sat there without moving. The princess turned the pen and paper so that she stood opposite the prince.
The prince said several things, and she wrote them down one by one.
Then I heard the prince say: "The candidate for the tour envoy to Liangjiang was chosen by Taisun, right? I don't think it is appropriate. There is someone more suitable. Wang Changjian, push him up!"
The Crown Princess paused for a moment...actually, she chose that person.
Liu Zaifeng was chosen...and the benefits to be received are all decided...
This is how to do?
Her thoughts turned around and she swallowed what she wanted to say.
"Yes." She responded, wrote the reply, and then turned to look at the prince.
His breathing was a little heavy, and he seemed out of breath.
"If you are tired, go and take a rest." "It's okay..."
"Prince, it's time for you to take medicine." The **** smiled and brought a bowl of medicine.
The prince frowned slightly and hesitated to drink. Turning around, he saw the princess looking at him.
Smiled, took the bowl, and drank in one gulp.
This medicine is just like rice, you can’t miss it every time.
“The weather is very nice today. Would you like to take a walk in the yard with me, Princess?”
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "You, lie down quickly and save your medicine! If you want to leave, it will take half an hour! Just lean on your side for a while. I will pick you up and go with you later."
“Oh, that’s right! Okay, then I’ll just go back and lie around for a while.”
After saying that, the **** supported him and left.
The princess saluted, sent the prince to the door, and then turned back.
Looking at the items on the table, the prince placed them according to his own habits...
Silent, she gently rearranged them according to her habit.
Regarding Wang Changjian's matter, she didn't expect the prince to come... If it was the grandson's intention, she would definitely refute it.
But this is what the prince said, and she cannot violate it.
At least, not yet...
Thinking of his grandson, he snorted coldly: Is he guarding me against the Crown Princess?
I am his mother!
After so many years, is it easy for me?
When she was pregnant with him, the prince fell ill. My health is not good anymore...that won't happen anymore. Otherwise, there would be many concubines and concubines in the East Palace. Why is he alone?
It is what God has given to me. Otherwise, how miserable would this life be?
After taking care of the sick prince for several years, a woman... has to carry the entire East Palace. The study at the front has to be taken care of, and the house at the back has to be taken care of.
Not to mention, in front of the Queen...
Every time I go back to visit, there is always a quiet humiliation. Even if he didn't, saluting a young queen who was several years younger than himself...just thinking about it made me feel so angry that my stomach ached.
Aren’t all the things I plan for him? !
No matter how much I do or how much I take care of, can I still sit on the throne and be the queen? !
…
After Wen Qian finished speaking to Yuan, he went out again.
Yuan sat there for a long time and asked someone to call Wen Huan.
Wen Huan held a small screen in his hand: "Mother, look, my daughter dug it out. How about giving this to the county master?"
"Huanhuan, I have something to tell you."
Wen Huan put down her things and sat next to Yuan, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Looking at her good-looking and dignified daughter, Mrs. Yuan sighed in her heart, how could that dead girl have such a good life?
And the dead old woman... She obviously had everything agreed upon, but she lost control again.
What do you do? !
Thinking of these two, no, plus Wu, the three nuisances who are about to come, I feel agitated.
So, she told Wen Huan about this matter.
Wen Huan is indeed more mature than before. He didn't make trouble or say anything unreliable.
"Mother, haven't my father and grandmother already discussed Wen Yu before? How could such an accident happen?"
"Your father said that he didn't mention it much in the letter. Probably, Mrs. Qi fell in love with Wen Yu at the celebration of Tianlong Temple."
“Ha! There’s really no way to explain what grandma does. When we leave, we don’t talk about getting her engaged, but we just walk around with her! Isn’t this obvious? Are we going to find another in-law for her?”
Isn't it? ! Yuan thought bitterly:
If she didn’t have a husband to support her, her father-in-law would have taken care of her long ago! You usually have enough momentum, but why don’t you want to rely on it? !
“Mother, is there no other way to stop it?”
"Your grandfather has come forward... Now that the marriage has been decided, it is not so easy to stop it. Otherwise, it will be a joke."
“You have no backup in the Wen family?” Wen Huan asked.
Yuanshi felt comforted in her heart that her daughter had indeed grown up, "There is one left, but this kind of thing cannot be made clear. I will think about it again..."
"Well, we have to inquire about the Qi family again. Not all the disciples of the Hou family are successful! I can't say that he is a greedy and lustful man who was obsessed with seeing Wen Yu. If that's the case... it can only be good for us, but it's not No need to bother."
“Good daughter! You are much more mature.”
"Mother, let's talk about the Li family's affairs for now?! I can't fall behind Wen Yu!" Wen Huan said bitterly.
It's a pity, but... "Okay! It wasn't that urgent originally. It can be delayed for another year. If your father takes another step..."
