The queen still took her concubines to see her off, but she still stood outside Tai Chi Palace for a while.
The emperor took the princes and left.
This time, everyone from the second prince to the tenth prince was taken away.
Most of the concubines knew that the emperor had officially begun to make the matter of establishing a crown prince an open matter.
Of course, there are some who don’t understand, but it’s time for those who don’t understand to understand from other people’s performances.
As long as you have that thought in your heart, the concubines in the harem will not calm down.
Even Shen Chuliu understands this.
She thought again about the emperor's words last night.
When she returned to Jade Palace, she kept thinking, if Yan'er wanted to be the prince, what would be the biggest obstacle
Yan'er is outstanding, and the emperor knows this.
If Ke Yan'er has any shortcomings, it's that she's a relative.
Being strong is a bit strong, but being too strong is not.
The emperor is actually very good. After all, he has not yet developed the suspicion that is unique to emperors.
But if it doesn’t happen now, will it happen in the future
So, will Yan'er's natural advantage of having the Shen family and the Pei family become a disadvantage one day
But the emperor...
A few years ago, Shen Chuliu thought that the emperor was going to ask the Shen family to gradually retreat.
But not only did the emperor not call for retreat, he even brought two generations of the Shen family into harm's way.
In fact, Shen Qingling has become more and more shy in front of the emperor in recent years.
Such people who can carry weapons in front of the emperor are highly trusted by the emperor.
And the Pei family.
Pei Jiancheng, an old minister, joined the cabinet. Pei Ji was still young, but he seemed to be the future elder Pei Ge.
Shen Chuliu suddenly thought that the Sixth Prince was actually powerful enough to become the Crown Prince.
In the past few years, she has been in the game, but she has not realized this.
Yes, no matter whether the Shen family or the Pei family are only loyal to the emperor, their blood relationship with Shen Chuliu cannot be broken.
They would not take the initiative to say that the sixth prince could become the crown prince.
But what if another prince is recommended
Why has there been no movement in the past few years
Doesn't anyone want to take sides
No…
no.
Rather, most people dare not move.
The Pei family seems to be the leader of the civil service and the prince's teacher.
Although the Shen family no longer held heavy troops, Shen Qingling stood in front of the emperor.
And Shen Zhong also entered Wuhua Pavilion.
Shen Chuliu shook his head gently. Under such circumstances, would those who wanted to establish another prince dare to do so easily
After getting out of the banquet, Shen Chuliu entered the small garden again.
It's quiet and beautiful here, perfect for thinking.
She thought, so what does the emperor mean? Do you also want to establish Yan'er
still…
But for people like the emperor, if they don't want to, why bother mentioning it
Shen Chuliu thought calmly, in fact, the emperor had been very good to their mother and son in recent years. It is indeed good.
If it doesn't involve love or dislike, the emperor really treated them well.
To put it bluntly, if it was just for show, the emperor wouldn't have to do many things.
She knew very well that the emperor was not acting.
Although emperors before and after them loved their concubines long and short, that was actually more of a habit.
A habit that the emperor had maintained since his youth.
The emperor has actually changed more and more. For example, he is now too lazy to say a word to people who are not interested in him or are bored.
But a few years ago, the emperor could still play tricks with concubines who had done wrong things.
Shen Chuliu took a deep breath and decided not to think about it anymore.
Just wait, wait a few more months, and when the emperor comes back, there should be some clues about what is right and wrong.
She began to tidy up the flowers and plants. As expected, it was easy to meditate doing this kind of thing.
The emperor went out this time and took the princes to inspect farmland and water conservancy along the way.
It was already the end of May when we went all the way north to Liaocheng Mansion. The princes were all exposed to the sun like monkeys.
However, even if they are energetic, they have to pretend to be enough. In fact, the prince knows better what they are facing.
Of course, some people pretend to be calm, while others are more restless.
At this time, Shen Chuliu would be worried, and so would Qi Yan.
Although he knew he had a chance of winning, it was hard to say if there was no result.
For example, the second prince is obviously impetuous.
Even to the local officials, he acted like he was easy to talk to, which was very annoying.
The younger brothers couldn't bear to look directly at him, but they were least worried about him. If this man could succeed, then Dayi Chao would have no hope.
Qi Yixiu has not made any comment on the behavior of the princes since he left the palace.
It means casually.
But in fact, this is more difficult, and the princes don't know what to do to satisfy their father.
At this time, Qi Yan's advantages came to light.
After all, Shen Chuliu had different ideas and had a great influence on his children since childhood.
For example, she said, if you can't know whether what you are doing is right, don't worry about whether it is right or not, just do what you think is right.
Be calm.
So at this time, he was very calm and would ask if he was unsure.
He doesn't necessarily have to ask Qi Yixiu. There are many officials accompanying him. He can ask people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works.
If you want to ask anything related to Nongsang, you can ask.
Besides, Qi Yan has positioned himself very accurately, just wanting to understand the lives of ordinary people.
Is it possible that such a dignified prince still wants to imitate the common people in farming
Putting the cart before the horse.
Probably because he thought it was right to do this, other princes gradually imitated him.
The accompanying officials were very busy along the way.
I was afraid that if I didn't say anything right, the princes would misunderstand and the emperor would be unhappy.
After arriving at Liaocheng Mansion in fear, the accompanying officials finally breathed a sigh of relief. If asked further, they all felt that their years as officials had been in vain.
And Qi Yixiu naturally has a notebook in his heart to remember the affairs of the princes.
The Ninth Prince was very nervous along the way. He also followed his brothers in doing these things, but he was actually a little confused in his heart.
Before setting off, his mother-in-law Qian Dingzhu Wan told him to behave well.
But he actually didn't know how to behave.
He has always been afraid of his father, and now he is even more afraid.
The mother-in-law said that the father was about to establish a prince, and if he could not perform well, he would not be appointed.
The mother-in-law also said that if he did not become the prince in the future, he would end up like the Deer King.
The more he said this, the more nervous the Ninth Prince became.
He is really afraid of his father and his brothers.
But he wants to be the prince, and the prince will be the emperor in the future, of course he does.
These thoughts made him very confused and uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, you should also walk more in front of the Emperor." The eunuch reminded him.
These are all Zhenchongyi's orders.
A few years ago, as Empress Dowager Li's niece, Zhen Chongyi naturally could not be underestimated.
The Ninth Prince is also different.
But now...
There is really no one in the harem who dares to say this categorically.
Therefore, no one dares to say whether they do things according to Zhenchong Yi's wishes or not.
The Ninth Prince had a sad face and had no choice but to agree, but he had to worry about how to go and what to do for a long time.
Fortunately, the slaves didn't rush him, which made him feel better.
But he didn't know that the slaves didn't urge him just because they didn't have much confidence.
