Chapter 263 The Emperor's Abacus

"Yes!" Concubine Lin replied with a smile: "The emperor and my concubine are thinking of going together! The concubine also feels that Princess Cheng is not wronged to be taken care of by the empress dowager herself. It's just that she hasn't moved out a few days ago. At that time, the concubine was not worrying about it! Princess Cheng is the daughter-in-law of the empress, and it is not good for the concubine to intervene too much, but just sit back and watch, and the concubine is quite uneasy. After all, Marquis Wu Ding is an important minister of the court. Small things made him feel uncomfortable, and the concubine always felt that it was not worth it. That's why he thought that this Miss Shangguan could not care about the concubine, but this Miss Shangguan was the concubine's serious daughter-in-law. In order for Jing Heng to concentrate on studying, the emperor let She postponed entering the palace, and this matter also made Wu Dinghou and his wife quite anxious. The concubine might as well reward her with something, so as to comfort Wu Dinghou's heart."

"I know you have always been sensible," the emperor patted Lin Guifei's hand, and boasted perfunctorily, "You can always share my worries."

"Your majesty is absurd," replied Concubine Lin with a smile, "It is the duty of a concubine to share the worries of the emperor. In the past year, there have been many disturbances in the palace. Seeing the emperor in a bad mood, my concubine feels very distressed and hates the emperor." I can’t do much for the emperor! But I’ve finally made it through, and the empress’s side is very happy, and I don’t need my concubines to worry about it anymore.”

"Is it extremely peaceful?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes, looking at Concubine Lin with a smile on his face: "How do you say that?"

"Last year's big treason case caused both the empress and the concubine to lose their children." Concubine Lin showed a sad look: "As a heartbroken mother, the concubine can empathize with the heartache and sorrow of the empress. In fact, the concubine was a little envious of the empress at that time. After all, Concubine Cheng was pregnant with the grandson of the empress, and concubine Li and concubine Li were truly desperate. Fortunately, the emperor allowed concubine Chen to be Heng'er's mother, which gave concubine some comfort .”

"However, who would have thought that the clan would join forces with the concubines in the harem to attack the emperor and grandson." Concubine Lin Gui showed an unbearable expression on her face. Only she knew how real and how acting she was: "If there is no hope in the first place That's all, but the Empress carefully protected Princess Cheng and waited for a full six months, but was finally destroyed in the hands of King An and King Xiang. One can imagine how frustrated the Empress was. A few days ago, the concubine was very worried. I'm afraid that the empress will be devastated because of this! Fortunately... Fortunately, the harem finally has good news. Li Chongyuan is pregnant, and she has a child, which is no different from the empress's own child. This child will be a legitimate son in the future. The empress finally has hope and sustenance."

"En!" The emperor nodded, looking noncommittal.Regardless of whether Li Chongyuan gives birth to a boy or a girl, the child will not belong to her own name, but will become Queen Chen's child. In fact, the emperor and Queen Chen have a tacit understanding on this point.

This child is the emperor's compromise and compensation to Empress Chen. As for Li Chongyuan himself, how to deal with her after she gave birth, the emperor is actually not prepared to intervene. He intends to leave it to Empress Chen to decide.

However, Concubine Lin Gui's miscellaneous and rambunctious speeches are actually intended to hide what she really wants to say, and the key point is only two words-dizi.The hint in Lin Guifei's words, the emperor caught it.

For the emperor, Xiao Jingheng is smart and steady, and is a very suitable heir. Therefore, even if the young "di son" is born, it will not threaten Xiao Jingheng's future status. Although this brat is born rebellious and always makes him angry, but for For the imperial court, he is an ideal candidate for the crown prince.

But one thing is undeniable, Prime Minister Chen's House has extremely high expectations for the newborn "dizi".

"Your Majesty, tell me," Concubine Lin Gui continued as if she didn't notice the complicated expression of the emperor, "Isn't the empress empress extremely happy? Besides, this is not the only good thing!"

"Oh?" The emperor made a look of interest: "What else is going on in Weiyang Palace?"

"The concubine actually told His Majesty about this." Lin Guifei put on a relaxed expression: "A few days ago, the empress was in a bad mood. Didn't the prime minister's wife often come to the palace to accompany her? The prime minister's wife entered the palace I always bring my little granddaughter with me. According to my concubine, this Miss Chen must have a destiny with our Heng'er, and we will meet each other once or twice. Although Heng'er doesn't like Miss Yang, but he has an impression of Miss Chen. Seems to be fine."

"Meet by chance?" The emperor smiled.How could he not be able to hear what Concubine Lin Gui wanted to say, but he didn't say much, instead he signaled Concubine Lin Gui to continue talking.

It has to be said that Concubine Lin Gui, as the most favored concubine in the harem, has been prosperous for so many years, not just because of her face.She knew the man in front of her very well, and she was very accurate about the emperor's thoughts.

She knew that the emperor knew the purpose of her saying these words, but everything she raised was also what the emperor cared about most, and the emperor would listen to it.

"If Heng'er can see Miss Chen's eye-to-eye, the concubine will certainly be happy to see it happen." Concubine Lin continued, "But I'm afraid it won't be that easy. How could a young lady of the prime minister's mansion be willing to be wronged to be a side concubine? Well! Even if Ms. Chen is willing, Prime Minister Chen and the empress do not agree. Therefore, the emperor, the concubine wants to discuss with you, what should I do? The emperor thinks, who is better for the prince and concubine? How about Miss Wudinghou's Mansion, or Miss Prime Minister's Mansion."

What nonsense!Of course, this one is far stronger than Chen's daughter now!The emperor's expression twisted for a moment after hearing Concubine Lin Gui's words.No matter how wary he is of Marquis Wu Ding and if he doesn't want a daughter-in-law from Marquis Wu Ding's mansion, he is still better than the daughter-in-law of the prime minister's mansion.

His empress is already from the Chen family. If his son hires another daughter from the Chen family to be his concubine, and the two generations of empresses are all from the same clan, what will happen?Is the prime minister's mansion afraid of covering the sky with one hand in the future?
Concubine Lin Guifei pretended not to see the emperor's expression, and then said: "Wu Dinghou's youngest daughter, she is beautiful enough. But in the future, Heng'er will be the crown prince, and the concubine's beauty is not enough. If the emperor really doesn't like her , then why don’t you choose carefully again? Which girl does the emperor think is better? The Su family? Or choose from the homes of several ministers?”

"Okay!" The emperor stood up suddenly: "When did I say that I didn't like that little girl? I didn't let her enter the palace before, but it was because Heng'er had to enter the court and there was too much homework to make up. I'm afraid He's just distracted. In two months, Heng'er will be eighteen. Before he enters the court, he will bring the prince and concubine into the palace. Before entering the palace, find someone to teach him the rules. You mother-in-law will see this matter. Just do it, I don't care."

　——Here is the dividing line that everyone has a small abacus——
　　That's right, the emperor also has a small plan.When you encounter a problem, make a plan beforehand, and figure out whether it is worthwhile.

　　Concubine Lin Gui knew him too well, and every word she said was on the emperor's pain point.

　　It is impossible for him to tolerate two generations of Empress Chen.
