Concubine Wan Fang also hated that the little prince was favored in front of the emperor, but she felt happy when she thought that the little prince would not be successful in literature or martial arts. What's the use of having a sweet mouth and being good-looking, Xiaoshizi doesn't have a good relationship with the prince, but her son has a brilliant literary talent and is well-known in the circle of talented scholars in the capital. Concubine Wan Fang raises Qi Yu as a crown prince, because in her opinion, the future throne must belong to Yu Wang, so it is clear at a glance who is more suitable to be the crown prince compared with Qi Yu and Qi Chen.
Because of the lack of the status of the main concubine, Concubine Wan must insist that Qi Yu surpass Qi Chen in everything.
Xiao Shizi doesn't care about this. His mother said that the most important thing is to live a happy life. If you can make people who hate you stick in your throat just by living a good life, you will laugh in your sleep. Qi Yu is a nerd who has no strength to restrain a chicken. When they were young, the two fought evenly. Now, hehe, he can poke Qi Yu flat with one finger.
Concubine Wan Fang wanted to regard their mother and son as enemies, just for the favor of the king, but both Qi Chen and Qing Huan could see clearly, no matter who the king Yu loved, that heart was not sincere, what he wanted most in his heart was that The seat, the emperor's health has become worse and worse in recent years, and he probably won't live for a few years. At this moment, the princes are starting to move around.
The emperor has lived too long. King Yu is his twenty-sixth son, and he is in his thirties this year, not to mention the eldest son, King Qin, who is already over fifty years old! The emperor had many sons and grandchildren, and Qi Chen estimated that the emperor's grandfather could not recognize all of them. That's why he wanted to be the one that the emperor's grandfather liked the most, and the one that was the least daunting. In time, no matter whether his father can take that seat or not, he will be able to protect himself and his mother.
The princes moved frequently, and even the princes tried their best to show their faces in front of the emperor to please him, but the emperor was always indifferent, treating everyone the same, except for the sweet-mouthed Qi Chen, he didn't particularly like anyone or anything. Not on anyone.
He loves Emperor Qi Chen from the bottom of his heart, and he feels that among so many sons and grandchildren, there is only one Chen'er who loves him the most. In addition, Chen'er's mother was an ordinary girl, so the emperor didn't need to consider whether Chen'er had the support of a family behind him, so he was willing to pamper and be happy, and in front of Qi Chen, he looked like a purely ordinary grandfather. But at the same time, the emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with Qing Huan, thinking that her selfishness had ruined Chen'er's future. She was already fourteen years old and had never invited a husband.
He even felt unreliable towards Yu Wang. King Yu is the most suitable heir in his eyes. Among all the remaining sons who are still alive, King Yu is the most obedient, courageous and capable. But the emperor felt that he could live for a few more years, and it would not be so easy to die, so he didn't plan to establish a prince. In his life, he made three sons as princes. In the end, one of them was imprisoned, one died young, and the other was so affectionate that he was willing to feign death rather than stay in this "cold palace".
The emperor sneered, indulging in the love of his children, what kind of man is he! Thinking of the folk daughter-in-law who always talked about being a couple for a lifetime, and not allowing Yu Wang to accept a side concubine, with a stubborn personality, the emperor worried that Chen'er would be spoiled by his mother, so he often instilled in front of Qi Chen that a man should have three wives and four wives. Concubine is a matter of course, don't disregard the future for the sake of children's love, don't be like his mother, and wait until you get ahead in the future, what kind of woman do you want
Qi Chen always responded with all his strength, but the emperor could see that he didn't take it to heart. In fact, he is suspicious by nature. If Qi Chen really nodded his head to show that he remembered, he would feel that Qi Chen had a ghost in his heart. After a sigh of relief, I feel that this child is filial and brain-dead, different from other grandchildren.
He is getting older, and as soon as this person gets old, he looks forward to enjoying his grandson Yi to enjoy his life. The emperor is reluctant to bear this seat, but he also wants to taste the life of ordinary people. Qi Chen's performance is simply scratching the itch. Ten years ago, the emperor would not be so easily moved.
But who told Qi Chen to have a powerful mother who had already analyzed the emperor thoroughly. Coupled with the fact that Qi Chen is smart and brave, the mother and father have seen the emperor clearly without knowing it, figured out every thought of the emperor, and knew his every emotion.
Qing Huan was making clothes in her room, she didn't intentionally instill anything in Qi Chen, she just exchanged with him her experience of being an emperor in governing the country and some views. Qi Chen is a smart kid, the only thing he lacks now is experience. Given time, given him a chance, he will become the soaring dragon, no less than anyone else. As for Qi Yu, what kind of thing is that, how can it be compared with Qi Chen.
The children she teaches are naturally better than anyone else.
"mother!"
"Chen'er is back? Come here and see if this dress fits you well."
Qi Chen spread his arms obediently and put on the moon-white robe. He was still young, his facial features had not yet opened, and he was still childish, but he could still be called a jade tree facing the wind. Although Qi Chen has no talent or reputation, he has already made a name for himself with this face. Who doesn't know that Prince Yu's son was born handsome, handsome, and unparalleled in beauty. Wherever he appears, even the number one talented person is hard to come by, and with just this face, he gets the limelight.
"Mother, you are so right. My congratulatory gift is what the imperial grandfather is most satisfied with." Qi Chen giggled, watching his mother feel where it didn't fit, and obediently took it off.
"That's natural. The old man is getting old, and he hasn't seen any good things. What your uncles and brothers sent up are all leftovers from his old man's play. You don't like reading on weekdays, and you don't like writing and ink. You know, now you have worked hard for three months to write a picture of longevity for him, with the most sincere heart, and it just fits the emperor's wish for a long life without bounds, can he be dissatisfied?" Qing Huan used charcoal sticks to make a picture on the clothes. mark. "The enemy country has invaded these days, and General Huang on the frontier has fought hard for half a year and has been retreating steadily. As a result, this birthday is so extravagant. The emperor is worried that no one will vent his anger. If you also go to find something priceless to offer, you will not be able to keep it." Let him know what he thinks."
"What Mother said is that apart from seeing my Longevity Picture to show off my face tonight, the imperial grandfather will accept all the congratulatory gifts according to the rules, but he has no expression on his face." After speaking, Qi Chen said again: "Mother, Is there anything to eat, the child is hungry, and he didn’t eat much in the palace just now. No one dares to eat if the imperial grandfather doesn’t move his chopsticks.”
"Yes, Madam Su has already gone to the small kitchen to get it, please sit there and wait for a while."
The mother and son chatted a few more gossips. In the past eight years, both Qi Chen and Qing Huan lived in seclusion and never saw Concubine Wanfang's mother and son face to face. Prince Yu would still come here from time to time, even if he received all the cold faces and was very persistent. .
"Qiu Wei is coming soon, have you told the emperor your request?" Qing Huan asked.
"I said it, the imperial grandfather agreed." Qi Chen smiled, a little confident, but also a little mocking. "I'm afraid he thinks that I have no ability, and he is going to humiliate himself."
"He's suspicious, but he's pretty good to you, and it's not in vain to please you by boiling frogs in warm water for eight years." Qing Huan smiled, and patted Qi Chen's head, "My son's good days are yet to come."
The mother and son smiled at each other playing charades.
No one knew about this matter except their mother and the emperor and the emperor's cronies. Although Qi Yu is talented and famous, his purpose is only to win over Concubine Wan Fang and crush Qi Chen, for the sake of being the heir apparent after King Yu ascended the throne. So apart from reciting poems and making friends every day, I go out and make friends. It can be said that I have friends all over the world, and I even got the title of Xiao Mengchang.
Half a month later, the emperor was sitting in the Golden Luan Hall, flipping through the roster of candidates who had entered the palace examination. Although he agreed to Qi Chen's request to change his name and surname to participate in the scientific examination, it was just a kind grandfather letting his grandson play at will, and the emperor didn't believe that Qi Chen could come up with any roster at all. He asked his confidants to do this without informing anyone, so after Qi Chen went in for the exam in disguise, no one knew that he was the famous handsome man Yu Wangshizi.
The emperor didn't pay attention to this matter after that, because he didn't want to embarrass his beloved grandson. But at this point, the emperor still hopes that Qi Chen can become a blockbuster.
However, he chose to read it from the last page, but he couldn't find the name. The emperor sighed, and when he turned to the last few pages, he had no strength to read it again. His favorite grandson was an idiot... He is very sad.
But it is undeniable that even though Qi Chen is an "idiot", he still won a great opportunity from the emperor for King Yu. Because of him, the emperor is already thinking of being enthroned by King Yu.
Let the chief eunuch read the name at will, but he was dumbfounded after reading the first emperor: "Give me the booklet!"
He grabbed it and looked at it carefully several times before and after, and rubbed his eyes again. He was sure that the one ranked first was his grandson's alias, Qi Wangshen!
Qi Chen entered the palace and saluted the emperor respectfully. He looked like a human being, but when he looked up, he smiled, which made the emperor angry and funny, but he couldn't stop being proud. He didn't stretch out his hand, and the officials who reviewed the papers were all his people. It was impossible for him to know Qi Chen's true identity. Qiu Wei, who gathered all the talents from all over the world, ended up with his grandson coming out on top!
Without even thinking about it, the emperor waved to Qi Chen: "You little bastard, come here!"
Qi Chen chuckled, flicked and peeled off the camouflage skin on his face, and strode up to the emperor with great pride: "Grandfather, isn't Chen'er not bad?"
"Not bad, not bad, King Yu raised a good son!" The emperor laughed heartily!
