Rui Ge'er is becoming more and more mature, except for being innocent in front of Qing Huan, he always looks old-fashioned when talking to anyone, like a replica of the emperor.
His excellence and talent are well known to the world, but the younger Rui Ge'er is, the more outstanding he is, the more uneasy the Third Prince feels. Judging from the current situation, he really began to believe that the throne might not be his own in the future. The reason why he was able to ascend to the throne in the previous life was that his father was the only son under his knees. However, after his father passed away, not long after he took the throne, the Seventh Emperor's Uncle rebelled. At that time, his foundation was not stable, how could he compare to the Seventh Emperor's Uncle who was deeply rooted in the court
Naturally, he lost the throne and was imprisoned for a lifetime. In this life, he intended to make preparations early, but another little prince popped up, and his father loved him very much. The third prince finally understood that no matter in the last life or in this life, he was not the candidate for the successor in his father's heart. Therefore, although his father wrote him an edict to pass on the throne in the last life, he did not do anything for him. The middle-aged family is entrenched and the officials are rampant. When the father is here, these people dare not act rashly, but when the father is gone, he is a new emperor with an unstable foundation. Is there anyone who can be bullied better than him
Father didn't think about letting him sit firmly in the dragon chair, so he simply let go. It can be said to hone him, or it can be said to let him fend for himself. The Seventh Emperor's uncle also has royal blood in his bones. If the throne is replaced by him, this Wanli Jiangshan will still be surnamed Wei. The third prince has only now figured out that the reason why the father did not lay the foundation for him is because he wants him to be with the Seventh Emperor's uncle. The person who fights with each other and wins will naturally become the new emperor.
But what is the father doing now? ! He is paving the way for Rui Geer! The third prince is not stupid. His father was indeed weakening the power of those families little by little, but he didn't let them realize it, but let them continue to live on.
This is what the father taught his heirs. It will not put him in danger, but also allow him to gradually grow into a good emperor in practice, and he will be able to quickly adapt to that position when he ascends the throne in the future. The father is even slowly training new ministers for the little prince, does he think he can't see it? !
The more the third prince thought about it, the more irritable he became. Seeing that alluring beauty no longer had the mood to continue his love, he turned around and was about to leave.
The third concubine, Fu Qiang, was in a hurry, and quickly called out: "Your Highness, it's even deeper, don't you want to rest?"
"No, you go to bed first, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to do, so I go to the study first, and I will come back naturally when the things are done."
Looking at the back of the third prince going away, Fu Qiang bit her lips. She is not a stupid person, so she naturally knows why her husband is worried. Since the little prince was born, His Highness has often been like this. Judging from His Majesty's love and teaching for the little prince, it is cultivated according to the direction of the future prince. Naturally, Fu Qiang is not satisfied with being a mere concubine, she wants to be a concubine, or even a queen! But if the third prince can't inherit the rule, then she will be the third prince's concubine in this life.
His Highness has become more and more cold and reticent these days, she must find a way to help His Highness.
The next day, Fu Qiang went back to her natal home and told Mrs. Fu about it. Although Mrs. Fu is a woman from the back house, she can speak well in the circle of noble ladies in the capital. Naturally, she knows how much the emperor values the four-year-old little prince. She wants her daughter to be good, and if her daughter wants to be good, it is her husband who she wants to rely on. Originally, the Fu family was very happy to marry Fu Qiang to His Majesty the Third Highness. The Third Highness is His Majesty's only prince. It is self-evident who that seat belongs to, but who knows that a little prince ran out halfway.
Although Mrs. Fu hated Fu Wei's aunt and didn't like Fu Wei, she was sensible after all. When she learned of her daughter's heart disease, she patted her hand and comforted her: "In any case, your position as the third concubine is unshakable. In the future... the third prince can sit in that seat, which is naturally good. If you can't Come on, that little prince is also the blood of our Fu family, he is a family..."
"Mother, what are you talking about! How can the little prince be compared with the Third Highness being the emperor?!" Fu Qiang looked at Mrs. Fu in shock, as if she couldn't believe that she would say such a thing. "The little prince's biological mother is the noble concubine Jiarong, but who is this noble concubine Jiarong? Others don't know, so don't we know too? Mother knows how she has spent her fifteen years in the Fu family. Everyone I know it in my heart. How can the little prince take care of the Fu family when he ascends the throne as the emperor in the future? He is thankful for not causing trouble for our Fu family for the imperial concubine Jiarong! Mother, you are so confused!"
"Oh!" Mrs. Fu sighed. "If it's possible, mother naturally hopes that this honor will fall to you, but have you ever thought about it, who is sitting on the dragon chair now, who is below the people who can't see clearly? Qiang'er, don't worry about it in the future. My eyes are dazzled by the splendor. Your father told me this too, before, I was just as angry as your father."
When she was chatting with the wives and family members of her colleagues, the topic would always unknowingly turn to the imperial concubine Jiarong who only dotes on the harem. Although she dare not talk about the candidate for the crown prince, the attitude of the current emperor should not be too obvious. If the little prince is mediocre It's nothing more than that, but he is talented and hardworking. Compared with the third prince whose biological mother is just a court lady, the little prince has a better background. Most importantly, he is loved by His Majesty!
"Right now, Your Majesty is only in his thirties, at least he has decades to live, but the Third Highness is in his twenties. In a few decades, how old are you and how old is he? But the little prince is at the Young man, in his prime, at that time, the little prince has established himself, do you think we can offend them at will?"
But Fu Qiang was not convinced: "Since ancient times, there is no elder for the elder, and no younger for the elder, so it is not the little prince's turn to sit on the throne!"
"Hush!" Mrs. Fu was frightened by her daughter's unrestrained speech, and quickly covered her mouth to blame, "Even if you are in your own home, don't talk nonsense! Neither the little prince nor the third prince is a descendant, but so what The biological mother of the Third Highness is a court lady, but what about the little prince? The imperial concubine Jiarong is equivalent to the deputy queen! In addition, the little prince has been outstanding since childhood, and the imperial concubine has been favored by His Majesty. Do you think that what His Majesty decides can be Did the courtiers refute it?"
Fu Qiang blurted out: "It would be great if there is no little prince—"
Yes! If there is no little prince, no matter how favored the imperial concubine is, it will be useless. Once the new emperor ascends the throne, she will either be buried or become a monk. In that case, no one will compete with the third highness for this seat...
"That's natural." Mrs. Fu didn't see the fierce look in Fu Qiang's eyes, but she sighed along with Fu Qiang, "In that case, the Third Highness must be the new heir apparent! Alas, although that woman was not a master before she was alive I like it, but unexpectedly, I gave birth to a promising daughter."
The mother was lamenting that Fu Qiang hadn't listened carefully, and her mind was full of thoughts of "it would be fine without the little prince".
The more I think about it, the more I can't help but act.
Of course, Fu Qiang was not really a brainless person, she was able to be married back by the third prince to be his concubine, of course not only because of her family background and beauty. She is a woman who only cares about her husband, and the third prince treats her sincerely. Therefore, although Fu Qiang wanted to do something, she didn't hide it from the third prince.
The third prince was stunned for a moment after hearing Fu Qiang's euphemistic proposal, but he didn't say yes or no. Fu Qiang looked at him with some anxiety, she was just a woman, how would she have the ability to reach out to the harem, if she really wanted to attack the little prince, it would have to be up to the third prince.
It's just that this step is too dangerous. If you win, you will be alone. If you lose, who knows what the consequences will be. After all, His Majesty loves Fu Wei and the little prince so much.
The third prince thought about it for a long time, and then said to Fu Qiang lightly: "You don't need to worry about this matter."
After all, he didn't tell Fu Qiang whether he wanted to do it or not.
Fu Qiang's heart was pounding, maybe it was because of her bad intentions, when she saw Qing Huan at the palace banquet, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty, saluted hurriedly and then backed away, as if she didn't even dare to look at her Take a look at Qinghuan.
When going to bed at night, Qing Huan told the emperor that she didn't care about anything, she read books, took a walk every day, played the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, and then got close to Rui Ge'er, and told the emperor if she had any problems. Straightforward, never polite.
As soon as she heard that the third concubine's expression was wrong, the emperor knew it in his heart. Of course he knew what the third son was planning. No matter how smart the son is, can he surpass the old man? He just doesn't like to meddle in this nosy business, and intends to keep the third child. If the third child is obedient, then let him become the sharpest blade in Rui Ge'er's hand; Not less stained with brother's blood.
Whether it was the emperor or Fu Qiang, they felt that if the third prince wanted to attack, he would definitely attack the little prince, but none of them thought that the person he was targeting was not the little prince, but the emperor!
The third prince's thinking is very simple, as long as the emperor dies, the little prince is not enough to take the throne now, so the throne will be his by then? Besides, after the emperor's father passed away, what's the use of being favored by the imperial concubine? His move directly solved the fundamental problem - even if he ruined the little prince, wouldn't the father be able to have another child with the imperial concubine? But if the father is gone, then the father's sons will naturally only be left with him and the little prince. At that time, he will take good care of their mother and child as a good emperor brother.
The third prince's actions are wonderful. The emperor worships Taoism and has been studying the art of immortality. In recent years, he has become an imperial concubine. Although he is far away, he will still take the elixir frequently. It is said that it prolongs life. But who knows
And it just so happened that a certain Taoist priest who was raised by his father in the Taoist temple in the palace was told by the third prince in his previous life that he had a wife and children in a secular family. It is a good thing to have weaknesses, and only those with weaknesses can be used by him, right?/
