"You have to be steady. It's not necessarily an advantage for them to do this. Now your father trusts you, but what about in the future? As the prince grows older and starts to think about this reserve, everything will be different. Your father The emperor is still young." Concubine Li said meaningfully.
"What's more, for a person as strong as your father, when he was a son, he liked someone as powerful as the sixth child. But as a prince, that's not necessarily the case. Concubine Jing is also strong. It's unclear whether mother and son can laugh until the end. ”
What's more, there are so many people in the harem, and two of them are pregnant now.
Who knows who will win
"You just need to remember that no matter what, you must not offend on your face and leave yourself a way out. If you can't win with one blow, you must think about the future."
The fourth prince nodded, but he really took it to heart.
In Ruiqing Palace, the fifth prince received a gift.
It was sent by the Song family, and he was Concubine Shun's younger brother, who now also works in the imperial city.
The gift meant that when I saw something suitable, I asked someone to make a pair of bows and arrows, knowing that the princes were all learning.
It is a fine horn bow.
The fifth prince also liked it very much.
His companions, Qian Qian and Fan Shangzheng, also played with it and both praised it as a good thing.
"The Fifth Highness will have a good ranking when we return to the school for the next competition." Qian Qian said with a smile.
Fan Shangzheng also smiled: "Speaking of which... the Song family is really kind to the Fifth Highness, and the uncle of the Song family is also very promising. You see, the Fourth Highness is also anxious now. Testing the Sixth Highness. You are caught in the middle. My dear, we can’t do it without fighting.”
"What should I fight for? The Lu family has a good reputation now, but they don't have any real power." After the death of Taifu Lu, the Lu family was in trouble.
"Although the Lu family has no real power, it does have a reputation. Besides, there is also the Song family. Concubine Shun is your only son." Fan Shangzheng smiled: "They are all princes, who are you worse than? You win. Needless to say, losing is no different than it is now. Can you not be willing to give it a try?"
Not many of the prince's companions can truly be pure of heart and have as few desires as possible.
Even if they are like this, the family always has its own ideas.
This is true for both the Qian family and the Fan family.
It would be a great honor if the assisting prince could achieve success.
Even if you can't be the crown prince, it's still good to be a prince with real power.
And it’s not like the fifth prince has no chance of winning. Although Concubine Shun is unfavored, there are some unfavored and honest people in the palace, such as Rong Xiuyuan, isn’t she? Why can't she reach a high position
But it’s still because of my family.
Concubine Shun's family is still better than theirs.
So, this is also an advantage.
Concubine Shun has nothing to fear without being favored. In this way, she can be more devoted to the fifth prince. The fifth prince relies on the Song family, and the Lu family is still his maternal ancestor.
Admit it or not, when that day comes, the Lu family will not stand anywhere else.
The fifth prince just shook his head, but after all, he didn't refute anything.
That sentence is right, we are all princes, who would feel inferior to others
When the weather gets colder, things in the southwest turn out to be one-sided.
Nothing happened to make the court angry again. Only now did Feng Zijing make a statement, saying that the matter would be settled by the end of the year.
Now we can see the results.
Knowing this, Qi Yixiucai issued an order to announce that Jinchanghou and his son would return to the capital.
In fact, everyone petitioned for impeachment and asked the emperor to convict Li Pei, but they also knew that it was not that simple.
After all, he has been in the southwest for many years. If he is pressed for a moment, he doesn't know what to do. Now that he has returned to Beijing, it will probably be time for serious liquidation.
Li Pei himself knew this, so he did not go back immediately, but continued to write a letter, begging the emperor to give him a chance to make meritorious service and so on.
Qi Yixiu did not reply, just waiting for the father and son to return to Beijing. If you don't reply, then you should take it directly when the time comes.
Of course, the Li family and his son did not have the courage.
After Feng Zijing came, he dispersed the military power in their hands. Now it is impossible to maintain self-respect in the army.
What's more, in this prosperous age, who has nothing to rebel against you
So no matter how long they waited, Li Pei and his son had no choice but to go north back to the imperial city in early October.
After leaving, it was not yet known whether he would be able to come back, so he had to ask his youngest son to take good care of the family. If he could not come back, the whole family would have to go to the imperial city.
It was already the end of October when Li Pei and his son returned to the imperial city.
It can be seen that this journey is considered slow and there is no rush.
The imperial city has become cold.
Shen Chuliu has been suffering from cold winds and coughing these past few days. She has had a lot of minor problems in the past two years.
I haven’t gone to pay my respects for a few days, but today is the first day of the new year, so I still want to go.
Besides, the Queen Mother also wants to pay her respects.
She changed into a pearl pink skirt, put on a cape, and styled her hair in a double-blade bun. She decorated it with beaded flowers matching velvet flower pearls, and added a step rocker.
People are not energetic, and they don’t like to dress up too carefully.
But she is good-looking, and she is still very good-looking even if she is casual.
From Fengzao Palace to Ci'an Palace, Shen Chuliu couldn't help but coughed for a while.
When she arrived at Ci'an Palace, she seemed to be blushing.
Queen Mother Li originally wanted to ask her if she was feeling better, but she didn't ask now.
Today, Lin Jieyu and Xu Baolin are also here.
Both of these two have big bellies now.
The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. They would say hello on the first and fifteenth day of every month and take a rest at ordinary times.
This made the queen very satisfied.
Originally, Xu Baolin was not qualified to come to the Queen Mother to pay her respects, so the Queen Mother asked her to meet him. So I also called.
Both of them looked good, and Lin Jieyu's previous fall was nothing.
"What did the imperial doctor say? Why do the Ai family look at it, your bellies are about the same size?" the Queen Mother said with a smile.
"What a coincidence, the imperial doctor also said the same thing, saying that their due dates are almost the same, both at the end of November and the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. From mid-November to the middle of the twelfth lunar month, it is normal," the queen said.
"Oh, that's good." The Queen Mother said with a smile: "They are all good children, and they are good for our royal family. As the Ai family gets older, they like to have more children."
Everyone said good things, and Shen Chuliu was feeling tired now. The medicine she was drinking now made her feel sleepy, and she really regretted that she shouldn't have come.
When the holding was finally over, it was Meiren Yao who helped her up and pushed her out. She really wished she could push her up and fall asleep.
I went back and took a nap before I had the energy to talk.
"Master, Jinchang Hou and his son have returned to the capital, saying that the emperor has not seen him." Chi Su said.
"Well, the emperor is feeling angry." Shen Chuliu nodded.
Shen Chuliu drank the pear soup and sighed happily: "There is no chance that I can keep this title."
"Then... if you keep the title, you will no longer have an official position, right?" Chi Su said.
"He can't be saved as a general. Where can I put this skill?" Shen Chuliu smiled: "If Ying Xiurong was still alive, I might still have some dignity, but now I can't."
