Chapter 22
The second day, the third day, and the fourth day.Li Liang couldn't bear it anymore, and said to the prince: "My lord, I heard that the eldest son didn't sleep until the third watch in the past three nights. Is this too much? Is it because the relationship network is too difficult to embarrass him? "

The prince said: "This child has never even gone to school. I heard from him that Miss Xia taught him for a few days. This relationship network may be too difficult for him. But this thing must be learned. I He was too dizzy to learn back then. Otherwise, you go and help him."

Just as he was talking, someone came to announce: "The eldest son is here."

The prince also sighed: "This child was delayed by that bitch."

Li Liang said: "Don't worry too much, always teach slowly."

The prince said: "Let him come in." The servant responded and went out. After a while, Zhao Xinghe came in with two booklets in his hand.

"Father," he saluted, "that network..."

Li Liang hurried forward to smooth things over: "That thing is too complicated, I can't learn it, it's okay. Let's take it slowly."

Zhao Xinghe couldn't help laughing: "Father, take a look at this." He handed over the two booklets.

The prince took it over, opened it, and was shocked: "Huh..."

Li Liang was also curious: "What is this?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "I sorted out this network of relationships by category. I sorted it out in two different ways. Let's see which one is better."

The prince looked at it for a long time: "You wrote this all? The writing is not bad."

Zhao Xinghe said: "In order to participate in the martial arts exam, I specially practiced hard."

The prince said: "Participating in martial arts, practicing swordsmanship is not bad, what are you doing practicing calligraphy?"

Zhao Xinghe said very naturally: "Weiwei said that for those who practice martial arts, handwriting is mostly ugly. During the palace examination, if there is good handwriting, it will definitely attract the attention of the emperor. It will leave a good impression on the emperor's heart. That’s what it means to be preconceived.”

The prince said, "She even understands this?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Weiwei put a lot of thought into getting me selected."

The prince nodded, "The emperor did tell me that your handwriting is the best. It really left a good impression on him."

Zhao Xinghe was very happy.Said: "Father, I understand this network, you can test me."

The prince was surprised and said: "You figured it out in three days?"

Li Liang also said: "My lord studied for three months, and you have been studying for three days..."

The prince said: "Alright, let me ask you, the Xungui's family, the Rongqing Palace, who has the best relationship with?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Prince Rongqing's mansion has many heirs, so the in-laws are all over the world. But to say the best, it should be the Marquis of Yongchang."

The prince wondered: "Why? I always thought he and Prince Zheng were the best."

Zhao Xinghe said: "Prince Rongqing's mansion seems to have the most marriages with Prince Zheng's mansion, but most of them are concubines and concubines. He betrothed his most beloved daughter to the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongchang, and let his eldest son marry the son of the Marquis of Pingxiang. Female. The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang and the wife of the Marquis of Hepingxiang are direct sisters. So I say that although Prince Zheng has the most marriages with his family, the two most important in-laws of Rongqing Palace are not Prince Zheng."

The prince said: "It makes sense to say so. Then let me ask you, who do you think the emperor loves the most?"

Li Liang was startled: "My lord..."

The prince waved his hand: "It's just the three of us, it's okay."

Zhao Xinghe said: "I discussed this issue with Weiwei."

The prince wondered, "You guys still discuss these things?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Weiwei said that if I win the martial arts exam, I will always be an official in the court. I need to know a little bit about these things."

The prince said: "Okay, tell me, how do you discuss these things?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "There are many concubines in the emperor's harem. Most of them are divided into three factions. The empress is in the middle palace, so naturally there are many supporters. Her legitimate son, the third prince, also has many supporters, but the strange thing is that the emperor never expressed , meaning to register the third prince as the crown prince. Weiwei said, this is a very strange thing. The emperor respects the queen very much, and has never hurt her face in front of others. No matter how much you dote on the women in the harem, no concubine dare It is shameful for the queen. But why, the emperor does not make a son in the middle palace, which makes people wonder. The second faction is Concubine Shu. The beauty of Concubine Shu is said to be natural. The emperor also loves her very much. The fourth prince she gave birth to , Shrewd and capable, with outstanding talents, even the emperor said that among his sons, only the fourth prince resembled him the most. There are also many stand-ups. This is the last one." He glanced at Prince Ning.Said: "It's Concubine Yun. I heard that Concubine Yun has a strange fragrance on her body. As soon as she entered the palace, she became a concubine. In less than a year, she gave birth to six princes and was promoted to Concubine Yun. But the strange thing is that the emperor named Concubine Shu as a noble concubine. , but did not seal her. Many people thought that the emperor was partial to Concubine Shu and the fourth prince. But the emperor always stayed with Concubine Yun for five or six days out of ten days. It is conceivable how favored Concubine Yun and the sixth prince are. Yes. That's why some people say that although Concubine Yun is not a noble concubine, she is the most favored by the emperor. The sixth prince must be the most beloved son in the emperor's heart. In addition, Concubine Yun has a prominent family background and is the eldest daughter of Yongding Palace, so she supports the six princes There are quite a few people."

The prince also sighed: "Unexpectedly, a girl like her has such insight."

Li Liang said: "My lord and I have also discussed that the eldest prince is the eldest, but his birth mother is humble and a court lady. The emperor got him when he was drunk, and the emperor never wanted to see him. The second prince died young, and the fifth prince was obese. Stupid and fat, he will not be pleased in front of the emperor. It is true that now the third prince, fourth prince, and sixth prince are fighting for the world."

The prince said: "In your opinion, who is more likely?"

Li Liang couldn't help but said: "My lord, you..."

The prince said: "It's just chatting, listen and watch."

Zhao Xinghe said: "The strategies of the third prince and the fourth prince are completely opposite. There is only one third prince's concubine in the third prince's backyard, and no other women. It is an affectionate route. This is also to tell the third prince's natal family that if there is such a day, The third concubine must be in the middle palace, and her heirs must be the princes, so the third concubine's natal family, all the relatives and friends of her natal family must do their best to support him. The fourth prince's backyard is overcrowded, whoever sends a woman, he He accepts all comers. He accepts anyone who shows his favor, so there are many supporters, because anyone can support him, and he takes a broad line. But the sixth prince is the strangest. He behaves in the yard, Completely in accordance with the ancestral system, there will be no one more, and no less one. It is impossible to tell who he likes. I heard that everyone takes turns serving the bed every day. It seems to be good to everyone, and it seems to be bad to everyone. Even the backyard is It’s pretty standard, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

The prince smiled: "That's what you said, we didn't pay much attention to this, it's exactly what you said."

The prince asked again: "But who is the best among these three?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "This is just chatting, if I make a mistake, I am not responsible."

The prince said: "Whatever, let's smooth things over in advance."

Zhao Xinghe said: "This is actually what Weiwei said, and I don't know if it's right or wrong."

The prince asked, "What did she say?"

Zhao Xinghe said: "Weiwei said that the third prince is very strange. Which prince has no women in the backyard, even if it is like the fifth prince, the backyard is full of Yingying Yanyan. The first possibility is that the third prince is very self-controlled, or very I love the third prince and concubine. The second possibility is that he is sick."

The prince was startled: "What did you say!"

Zhao Xinghe said: "The third prince has no heirs so far. He has been married to the third concubine for many years. If the third concubine can't have children, why doesn't he accept a concubine? He is a prince, why doesn't the empress refer to him as a side concubine? If he is If he is sick, everything makes sense. He is either inhumane or infertile, so the emperor has not appointed him as the prince so far, but the emperor has not appointed anyone else, which shows that the emperor and queen are still trying to find a way for him."

The prince suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I thought..."

Li Liang also sighed: "This Miss Xia really has bright eyes."

The prince asked, "What else did she say?"

Zhao Xinghe thought for a while and said: "She also said..."
