Chapter 556 Establishing a Crown Prince

His Majesty the Emperor knows of Zhao Zhi's existence.

Judging from the arrangements made by His Majesty the Emperor for the three brothers of the Chen family, I'm afraid he wants Chen Huaixian to take over the throne in the future.

The future queen cannot have a brother who defiled the capital, was beheaded for killing people, and had the experience of wandering around practicing medicine.

The Zhao family is not good enough in terms of family tradition or background to produce a queen.

Chen Huaixian understood these things clearly, and Zhao Zhi was not completely ignorant of them either, after all, she was also born in the capital.

In this matter, it cannot even be said that His Majesty the Emperor was wrong.

After all, the emperor tacitly approved of Zhao Zhi being a concubine.

But Zhao Zhi refused to accept it.

She would never become anyone's concubine, even if that person was the most honorable emperor in the world.

Zhao Zhi looked at Chen Huaixian with a half-smile: "Then just choose one carefully."

Chen Huaixian turned Zhao Zhi over and pressed her on the table, then raised his hand and slapped her on the butt.

With a crisp "pop" sound, Zhao Zhi was stunned, and then he felt wronged: It was not his fault, why did he hit him?

Zhao Zhi didn't struggle or raise his head. He pressed his fair face against the cold table and laughed sarcastically: "What? You still want to resist him?"

Chen Huaixian sighed depressedly: "I'm discussing a solution with you, why are you saying such sour words?"

Zhao Zhi felt his hand on his lower back loosen, and he slowly supported himself and climbed up: "What can I do? I can't take the opportunity to give him a handful of poison and send him to the west."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chen Huaixian said in a low voice, and then said helplessly, "I am very confused and can't tell others, so I have to find you to find a solution."

It was rare for Zhao Zhi to see Chen Huaixian showing his emotions. Seeing him frowning, he secretly felt that it was wrong for him to get angry.

The emperor has made up his mind, but Chen Huaixian can't influence it. What's the point of getting angry at him?

So Zhao Zhi softened his tone again: "Then what do you want?"

Chen Huaixian thought about it, his eyes suddenly heated up: "How about you give me a baby?"

Zhao Zhi: "!!!"

The more Chen Huaixian thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible: "If he wants me to... he must care about his offspring. If you give birth to a child, he won't let the child be a bastard from birth, right?"

Zhao Zhi said that she did not want to have a child, but rationally she knew that the method Chen Huaixian mentioned might work.

But when her relationship and marriage needed children to maintain and fight for it, she subconsciously rejected it.

Seeing that Zhao Zhi didn't say anything, Chen Huaixian thought she was hesitating, so he stepped forward and grabbed her waist.

"I like you and I don't want to be involved with other women, so I came up with this idea."

Chen Huaixian stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, and wanted to pull her belt: "I know you have been taking contraceptive pills, how about stopping from now on?"

Zhao Zhi held Chen Huaixian's rough big hand: She hasn't thought about it yet.

But Chen Huaixian couldn't wait: "You will go to Nanzhao with your second brother and his wife in a few days. If you don't hurry up..."

Zhao Zhi: "..."

The rough big hand rubbed across his skin, bringing up goose bumps. Zhao Zhi couldn't help but tremble. The words of rejection came to his lips but he couldn't say them. Soon his hands and feet became weak...

Just one night passed, and early the next morning, Chen Huaixian entered the palace again.

He is now kept by the Emperor's side, brought to court and kept in the Imperial Study after court breaks, accompanying him in handling various state affairs all day long.

The civil and military officials were not stupid. They could see that the Emperor wanted to train Chen Huaixian to be the crown prince. When they thought that Chen Huaixian was still unmarried, they were extremely excited!

If I could get Chen Huaixian to marry my daughter, she might become the queen in the future!

So one by one they began to figure out how to make their daughters catch Chen Huaixian's eye.

Those who had sent their daughter to the palace and then taken her back now regretted it so much that they beat their thighs.

Their daughter had already left the palace, so it was inappropriate for her to discuss marriage with the future crown prince. After all, she was once the emperor's woman, so even if the marriage was not consummated, she still had a status.

If a woman who has been used by the emperor is given to the crown prince, who is he looking down on?
Even those whose daughters became imperial concubines secretly regretted in their hearts: following the future crown prince is no better than following the emperor who is destined to be childless! ?

It's a pity that there is no if in the world.

But as a result, Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying received even more posts.

Fortunately, Xiao Luoyi was pregnant and could use her pregnancy as a shield.

No one dared to force a visit.

There was no other choice, so everyone thought of the Mu family.

If you can't say it directly, you can pass it on to someone else, right?

Mu Chengsong and Mu Zhaopeng received the men, and Shen Danxia received the female relatives. They had to deal with wave after wave and were deeply exhausted.

Xiao Luoyi clearly felt that Zhao Zhishi was distracted from time to time these days.

Thinking about the disputes outside, she couldn't help but feel distressed, and asked Zhao Zhi privately: "Zhizhi, now that everyone is staring at my brother, what do you think?"

Zhao Zhi had been holding it in for several days and felt uncomfortable for a long time. She told Xiao Luoyi what happened in a low voice.

Xiao Luoyi also frowned when he heard this: "Isn't this method not possible..."

But this is too much of a test for His Majesty the Emperor.

If His Majesty the Emperor is soft-hearted, it will naturally succeed.

But what if His Majesty the Emperor is not soft-hearted?
Zhao Zhi was a woman, and if she gave birth to another child, in that era, many people would gossip about her.

"Princess, I don't want to be a concubine, let alone a mistress."

Having a child out of wedlock, if that’s not having an affair, then what is it?
Zhao Zhi gritted his teeth in grievance but refused to shed tears.

Xiao Luoyi held her hand distressedly, but didn't know how to comfort her.

This seems to be an unsolvable situation.

Unless she lets go.

"Then what are you going to do?" Xiao Luoyi finally only asked Zhao Zhi about his plan.

Zhao Zhi gritted his teeth, a hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes: "If I really give birth to a child, I will never return to Daye!"

"Whatever Chen Huaixian wants to do is his business! I, Zhao Zhi, will never be anyone's concubine!"

Nanzhao has the custom of walking marriage, and many women are single and raise children, and it is not necessary for them to have a husband.

There, neither Zhao Zhi nor the child would be looked at sideways.

Xiao Luoyi also felt distressed and nodded: "Your child, your life, you have the final say."

She is not partial to Chen Huaixian just because he is her husband's elder brother.

The day of the Dragon Raising its Head on the second day of the second month passed, and on the tenth day of the second month, Concubine Xue gave birth.

When Xiao Luoyi and Zhao Zhiyi got the news, they were ordered to enter the palace.

Concubine Xue gave birth to a prince, but later died of hemorrhage.

As to why the hemorrhage occurred, no one investigated.

His Majesty the Emperor announced to the public that Concubine Xue had given birth to a princess, who was promoted to Concubine Xue and buried in the concubine's tomb. The princess was raised by Concubine De.

At the same time, because the only child born to Concubine Xue after she ascended the throne was a princess, the princes and ministers were completely silenced.

The princes could only be the three adopted brothers of the Chen family.

His Majesty the Emperor announced during the morning court session: Yang Huaixian will be named the Crown Prince!

When Chen Huaixian, dressed in the attire of a prince, appeared in front of everyone, everyone was shocked.
