The second prince's mother, Concubine De, and the third prince's mother, concubine Liang, both talked about their sons' marriages in the emperor's ears. They said openly and secretly that the emperor could not treat one favorably. They were both his sons. The princes were all getting married. Seeing that The emperor's grandson is about to be born, and the marriage of the remaining children will also be put on the agenda.

The emperor was not unhappy this time, and directly arranged for the marriage of the second and third princes. One principal concubine and two concubines. The remaining vacant seats in the backyard were left to his two sons. Anyway, there were many old people around them. .

After receiving the imperial edict granting marriage, the second and third princes both looked constipated. In fact, the candidate for their head wife was far from what they expected, and it could even be said that it had nothing to do with it.

Although the two wives are both legitimate daughters of third-rank officials, it is a pity that the other's father is not working in the real power department. It can only be said that he is good-looking in appearance, but does not help them at all internally.

Although the two concubines are the legitimate second daughters of noble families, these noble families have long been glamorous on the outside, but they are not what they used to be on the inside. There are even two families that have begun to make a living by selling their ancestral property. Such wives and concubines have been brought in. What is the use?

But this is the emperor's order. If you dare to show your face, you will be labeled as disobeying the holy will and disobeying the order. The two of them did not dare to bet on their father's preference for them, so they could only hold their noses and admit it. .

When the news reached the ears of the prince, he felt better. As long as his father was on his side, he would be more sure of taking that position in the future.

Lianyi happened to receive a letter and a New Year's gift from General Meng at the border, as well as a bunch of supplements. After all, her daughter was pregnant, so parents would naturally have to show off.

The letter was just an ordinary letter from home. In addition to informing Lianyi that everything was going well at home, allowing her to raise her baby with peace of mind and support the prince, she also gave some instructions about raising her baby, which showed her love for her daughter.

After reading the list of annual gifts, Lianyi asked Grandma Sun to check it out and put it into storage. She found a few suitable items and sent them to Fengqi Palace and the Imperial Study Room as a token of appreciation from her daughter-in-law.

Lianyi was meeting a middle-aged nanny who came with the motorcade at this time. The letter was a cover-up, and it was this person who really came to deliver the news.

"Aunt Cai, are your parents in good health?"

Lianyi's belly had swollen at this time, showing the state of a pregnant woman. She sat on the bed and asked who came with a smile. At this time, she was only surrounded by Grandma Sun, and Lanzhi was guarding the door.

"General Meng and his wife are both in good health. It was only after the young lady got married that she became ill for a period of time. However, after receiving the news that the crown princess arrived in the imperial city successfully, her health recovered."

Aunt Cai replied respectfully.

"That's good. It's unfilial for a daughter to marry far away. I feel relieved knowing that my parents are in good health."

Lianyi pinched the handkerchief and said.

"General Meng asked the old slave to give the Crown Princess a message. The Crown Princess only needs to serve the Crown Prince with peace of mind, do her duty well, and not get involved in other things."

This is the key point that Grandma Cai wants to say.

"I understand what my father means, but sometimes I can't help myself. I don't want to participate, but I am the crown princess. When they fight, they will definitely take me with them."

Ripple said helplessly.

Then he nodded to Grandma Sun and asked her to tell her what happened after she married into the East Palace.

Aunt Cai frowned as she listened. The matter was indeed a bit tricky.

"Mommy has also seen that I am pregnant now. No matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, my position as the crown princess is stable. If the baby is a boy, then I can think about that position in the future.

For me, whether it is better for a person with the blood of the Meng family to take that position or for someone else to take that position is more beneficial to the Meng family. I believe my father knows better than me. "

What Lianyi said was extremely disrespectful, but Grandma Cai did not refute, and Grandma Sun beside her did not say anything.

"The old slave already understands what the Crown Princess means, and will definitely take her words back." "Well, you'd better leave as soon as possible after taking a day off. The second and third princes are also getting married recently. I'm afraid this imperial city It will be lively and chaotic for a while, so you’d better not get caught up in the disputes.”

"Yes, I understand!"

After seeing off Aunt Cai, Lianyi began to care for her baby with peace of mind. This time there were three in her belly, so she couldn't be careless. She was sure that she would give birth prematurely.

Aunt Cai listened to the advice, rested for a day, and embarked on the return journey on the third day. She had to take those words back.

When the prince dined with Lianyi in the evening, he specifically asked about the people coming to Lianyi's home. Lianyi waved his hand to let all the servants in the dining room go out, leaving Quan Fu and Grandma Sun guarding the door, and then handed the family letter to the prince. .

"Lianyi, this is your home letter, I don't think it's appropriate."

"Your Highness is my husband. We are husband and wife. There is nothing we cannot read. There is nothing important written in it."

Lianyi said while drinking the ginseng soup.

The prince then smiled and read the letter from home, then folded the letter back and then said:

"Lianyi, you have dismissed all the servants, but what do you have to say to me alone?"

Lianyi nodded and said in the prince's ear very cautiously:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, my father specially asked someone to bring me a message, saying that he is on the Crown Prince's side."

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard these words. General Meng's words were very important. They represented military power and the 300,000 troops at the border.

"Your Highness, Lianyi is your wife. We are husband and wife. We are both prosperous and devastated. But before you really ascended to that position, my father meant for us to keep a low profile.

Although the Emperor has given us a marriage, which is a clear agreement that my father supports you, the Emperor is still in power after all. He does not like his ministers to take sides at this time. Don't make it self-defeating and ruin His Highness's good deeds. "

Lianyi could only say these words to the prince alone, so she found this suitable time. Although General Meng meant exactly the opposite, she refused to say so. From now on, she would pave the way for herself.

After hearing this, the prince nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood what his father-in-law meant and that it was in his interest to do so.

"Don't worry, Lianyi, I know what to do."

"My father also said that, whether publicly or privately, in the past two years, he asked me not to contact the family too frequently, as long as I maintain normal contact with my distantly married daughter.

In particular, the prince cannot take the initiative to contact my father. Don't let anyone take advantage of it and accuse him of forming a clique for personal gain. Then his highness's previous efforts will be in vain. "

Ripple added another sentence.

"Okay, I understand what my father-in-law means, and I will listen to him."

After finishing the meal, the prince felt reassured. After the morning court the next day, he went to greet the queen and mentioned the matter in a vague way.

The queen was very satisfied after hearing this, but also reminded the prince:

"General Meng only made the decision to take sides after learning that Lianyi was pregnant. I can understand this. After all, his future grandson may ascend to the supreme position. He must have taken a gamble."
