After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

232 Bloodline

Probably to give Xiao Jingheng some face, the emperor did not respond to Xiao Jingheng's greetings for a long time.He just quietly looked at Xiao Jingheng who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't let him get up.

But it takes more patience, probably no one in the world can compare to Xiao Jingheng.He knelt on the spot with a calm face, even though he had knelt for a long time, there was no trace of anxiety on his face.

In the end, the emperor couldn't exhaust him, so he opened his mouth first.

"I heard that you went to meet your mother before entering the palace." The emperor said coldly: "Your life experience, Su Shi has already told you."

"Yes!" Xiao Jingheng looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, his expression didn't fluctuate at all, as if he was answering a question that had nothing to do with him.

"Heh..." The emperor sneered, but there was no smile on his face: "Why, you have been wronged by calling me father emperor?"

"Caomin dare not." Xiao Jingheng immediately replied: "Caomin's mother explained the Caomin's life experience at the beginning, but the emperor did not recognize the Caomin's identity, so the Caomin did not dare to presume."

Hearing Xiao Jingheng's words, the emperor was even more angry, isn't this arguing!Why don't you admit to taking him into the palace?It's not that he was so full that he had nothing to do, and insisted on raising an orphan in the palace who was a treacherous minister.However, the emperor wanted to lose his temper... He really couldn't refute Xiao Jingheng's words.

He has never publicly admitted that Xiao Jingheng is his son.The key is to sleep with a sister-in-law. Although everyone knows it well, it is really not very pleasant to put it on the face of it.

Forget it, bypassing this section, who let this be his only son at present?If he is not really an idiot, he is already blessed by God, and several courtiers who taught the class said that this kid is not only not stupid, but also surprisingly smart, even more outstanding than the princes who passed away.So, this is a blessing in disguise, right?The emperor immediately found a reason to comfort himself, and decided not to continue to embarrass himself.

"Although you are my own son, you have not been raised in the palace since childhood. Therefore, your identity really needs a proper explanation, so I plan to find you a foster mother." After comforting himself, the emperor changed the subject, However, he didn't let Xiao Jingheng get up, and planned to let him kneel like this, just to vent his anger: "I want to hear your own opinion on this matter."

Xiao Jingheng's purpose is not to get angry with the emperor, so he also knows how to accept it when he sees it.Since the emperor took the attitude of calming down the matter and handed over the ladder, Xiao Jingheng naturally had no reason to be stubborn.

So he cleverly changed his self-proclaimed name: "If you go back to the emperor, the son is already 17 years old, and he has already passed the age of needing his mother to take care of him. It is not uncommon to see princes whose biological mother died early."

"Having said that," the emperor stood up, pacing back and forth after the court case: "It's just your background... There are already people talking about it in the court."

"No matter who the son's biological mother is or where he is raised, this is the royal father's family business." Xiao Jingheng replied in a calm tone: "There are some discussions in the court, who dares to bring it to the table? "

These words were quite domineering, such a powerful heir was exactly what the emperor wanted to see, so he looked Xiao Jingheng up and down a few times, and was quite satisfied with the answer.

"Indeed, you are my son, and your origin is naturally my family business." The emperor stared at him, and then said: "But don't forget, you are the only prince right now. It's the prince. The crown prince is a state affair, and your background must be impeccable."

"My son is the biological son of my father." Xiao Jingheng replied: "Based on this alone, my family background is impeccable. As for who my son's biological mother is, does it matter?"

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.The answer given by Xiao Jingheng is really impeccable in principle.As long as he is the emperor's own son, he is eligible to sit on the reserve position, and everything else is not important.

This son he didn't know very well satisfied him very much.So smart, no wonder he was able to hide from him for so many years.

but!

After the emperor laughed enough, he put on a serious face and stared at Xiao Jingheng: "To become my successor, you still have to learn a lot. The stability of the imperial power depends on blood lineage alone is far from enough."

"In this case." Xiao Jingheng looked indifferent, as if he was not talking about him: "Father, it is enough to appoint a foster mother for the son and minister. Whoever the father thinks is a reliable partner, then choose Who, my son has no objection."

"What if I let you choose by yourself?" The emperor stared at Xiao Jingheng sharply.

"If you let the sons and ministers choose by themselves," Xiao Jingheng smiled slightly: "Then father, it is better to follow Lin Guifei's wishes. She is also the first concubine who proposes to adopt sons and ministers. Father, why not give Lin Taiwei this face."

"Oh?" The emperor was slightly taken aback: "Why her?"

"I know the power and influence of Lin Taiwei in the court, and I also know that my father actually intends to contain the power of the Lin family." Xiao Jingheng replied: "So I think that when the emperor brothers were alive, the father never thought about it. The fourth imperial brother is the candidate for the reserve position."

"Since you already knew it well, why did you choose Concubine Lin Gui?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Xiao Jingheng's expression.

"Because the emperor makes Concubine Lin Gui the adoptive mother of the minister, it can't change the fact." Xiao Jingheng smiled slightly: "The minister is not a blood relative of the Lin family, but a prince who is close to adulthood. Besides, there are other princes in the court. The whole family is anxious to hold on to their children."

interesting.The emperor raised his brows high.Before he was in the position, he began to worry about creating a check and balance between the Su family and the Lin family. This kid is quite smart!Why didn't I find it before?

"What do you think of the Su family?" The emperor observed Xiao Jingheng silently for a while, then suddenly asked a different question.

"The Su family?" Xiao Jingheng smiled slightly, his face still calm: "I suspect that the Su University scholar is probably anxious to find a collaborator in the harem who is not very noble, but his mother's family also has certain influence in the court. The minister is the adoptive mother, just like the Concubine Li before. Only in this way can the Su family ensure that they can take the lead in the cooperation."

"I didn't ask you this." The emperor coughed lightly, and suddenly felt that the Hanlin's evaluation of this child was not false.It has only been a few days since Xiao Jingheng began to receive the prince's education?He has actually seen clearly the turbulent undercurrents of the former dynasty and the harem.

"Scholar Su, after all, is your grandfather." The emperor finally said this.

"It turns out that the father is asking this." Xiao Jingheng smiled and nodded, not bothering to pretend to be stunned: "The father should know this matter well. All the details of the son's meeting with the biological mother before entering the palace must not be hidden from the father. eyes and ears."

　——Here is the dividing line of blood——
　　Does consanguinity matter?Of course it is important, the important thing is only from the part of the emperor.This is the emperor's inner conviction, nothing else is important, the bastard in front of him is his own son.

　　For the emperor, the other half of his son's bloodline is important if he needs it, and it's not important if he doesn't need it.

　　Thanks to Yun Qingqing and Pili Mu for their daily dried fish! !
