The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 34 Variables
The past is the past and the present is the present. There is a difference between the king and his ministers.

"I heard that your Erlang did well in the Army and Horses Division?"

Lu Tingyuan smiled and said, "My Erlang has a very naughty temper. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuanhe looked at Lu Tingyuan, saying naughty in his mouth, and he didn't know how to be happy in his heart. The child A Chan gave birth to could be any worse.

"I originally wanted to be a son-in-law with you and let your second son marry the princess. It would be better for you to let your second son marry a wife as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty and I are already sons and daughters. Besides, my second son is not worthy of your Highness the Princess." Lu Tingyuan said respectfully.

Emperor Xuanhe laughed, "Who doesn't know what you're thinking?"

After the prince-in-law and the princess get married in this dynasty, they can only have the sinecure position of the prince-in-law and captain. In a noble family, any man who wants to make achievements in his career will avoid Princess Shang.

"In this case, let him be the deputy commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division!"

Lu Tingyuan saluted again, "My second son is useless..."

Emperor Xuanhe waved his hand, "That's it."

A few days later, Emperor Xuanhe issued a decree, and the fifth prince Cheng Yun was granted the title of King of Chu, and in April he conquered Huguang.

After Lu Tingyuan returned home, he immediately went to Songhe Hall and told the lady about the matter.

"Your Majesty has been ill in the past few years. The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince are at odds with each other. Your Majesty is also confused and wants the Fifth Prince to accompany you. You are also avoiding his sharp edge by resigning as the Governor. You have done the right thing. Our Lu family We need to keep a low profile, and let them do their job well, and it is best to stay safe."

The madam leaned on the dark green pillow and said.

Ms. Zhang sat aside silently. This New Year was a mixed blessing for her. Her husband finally came back and the family was finally reunited. However, after the New Year, her daughter and son-in-law had to leave again. This trip was a thousand miles away. Far away, I don’t know when we will see each other again.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but blush when she thought of this.

"My daughter-in-law has something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Ms. Zhang stood up and said respectfully.

The lady looked into her eyes and said, "Go back and persuade her properly."

Lu Tingyuan returned to the room, Mrs. Zhang held the handkerchief and cried silently.

Lu Tingyuan walked over and stroked her shoulder, "Okay, okay! Don't be sad. Xiaoer will be married to the fifth prince, and this will happen one day."

Mrs. Zhang simply covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed. Her children were her heart and soul, and she could not bear to part with any of them.

Lu Tingyuan didn't know what to say. At this moment, Yun Jin walked in and said, "Madam, Grandma Lu is back. She has something to report."

Nanny Lu was a slave born in the Dingbei Hou Mansion. She was pointed out by Mrs. Zhang to be the companion of her eldest daughter, Lu Xiao, and she was married into the prince's manor together.

Nanny Lu is here, she must have something to report again. Mrs. Zhang quickly asked the maids to cleanse her face, put on makeup, and change her clothes before calling Nanny Lu in.

As soon as Nanny Lu came in, she knelt on the ground, "Madam, I'm so happy!"

"Where does joy come from?"

Nanny Lu smiled so hard that her face was full of wrinkles, "Princess Chu has been diagnosed with Ximai. Your Majesty is very happy. After the princess gives birth to a child, she will go to Huguang next year to become a vassal."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was overjoyed. When the child is born next year, His Majesty will not be able to bear such a young child traveling all the way. He will definitely wait for another year.

Mrs. Zhang stood up and said, "I'm going to the palace to see Xiao'er. Come and reward Nanny Lu."

Lu Tingyuan looked at Mrs. Zhang and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Women's families are so simple. After Mr. Zhang went out, Lu Tingyuan frowned.

…………

"Isn't it just that Princess Chu is pregnant with a child? My father sent her so many good things?"

"He is so partial and gave Lao Wu such a wealthy fief. Who does my son mean to him? What does he mean?" In the East Palace, Prince Cheng Yao was so angry that he swept away the books and paperweights on the desk. My father always favored the King of Chu, and for more than half a year, he didn't even look at him.

Cheng Yao still couldn't get over his anger, so he struck with his sword, looking crazy. The servants in the palace screamed in fright and fled in all directions.

Crown Princess Wei Zhen walked in hurriedly, "Your Highness, please be patient! This is the East Palace, what should I do if the news reaches His Majesty's ears?"

Wei Zhen asked the attendants to go out, and his confidant maids stood guard at the entrance of the palace.

Cheng Yao pushed Wei Zhen away, "I just want him to hear that he has disliked me since I was a child. When I succeed to the throne one day, I won't be able to spare Lao Wu."

"Your Highness, you cannot say these words." Wei Zhen covered Cheng Yao's mouth, "Your Majesty values ​​the relationship between father and son most."

Cheng Yao slapped Wei Zhen hard. The king of Chu already had a son, and the princess was pregnant again. He only had a daughter by his concubine, not even a legitimate son.

"You still have the nerve to say that it's all your failure. If you gave birth to Gu's legitimate son, my father would not treat Gu like this. You useless woman, get out of here, get out... I don't want to do that anymore." see you!"

Wei Zhen was pushed to the ground by Cheng Yao and started crying.

"Cry, cry, cry, you just know how to cry? What else can you do?" Cheng Yao lifted Wei Zhen up, "Unlucky woman!"

At this moment, the door opened, and Wei Dongyang and Wei Ling were standing at the door.

Wei Dongyang was dressed in a first-grade official uniform, with gray hair and bright eyes.

Wei Ling is dressed in a bright red flying fish suit and looks unruly.

The prince stared coldly at the two uninvited guests.

Wei Dongyang glanced at his crying daughter, his eyes moved slightly, and he tightly held his fingers in the palm of his hand.

Cheng Yao actually beat his own daughter. He was a useless nephew. The queen had no children, so he was the legitimate eldest son. If he was not the son of his sister, Concubine Wei, he would not bother to support him. But there was no way. Since he was born, the Wei family All the glory is tied to him.

"You hit my sister?" Wei Ling's eyes were on fire and his fists clenched. If it had been anyone else, he would have rushed over and smashed his dog's head.

Cheng Yao was thinking that if he hadn't relied on the power of the Wei family, he would have divorced Wei Zhen long ago.

"It's my fault. I'm a little impatient today. Uncle, don't blame me." Cheng Yao admitted his mistake and smiled reassuringly at Wei Zhen.

"Zhen'er will go out first," Wei Dongyang's expression softened.

Two palace maids came in and helped Wei Zhen out.

Wei Dongyang stepped forward and saluted, "Why is Your Highness so angry?"

The atmosphere in the room relaxed.

Cheng Yao asked his uncle to sit down and sighed.

"Is it because of Princess Chu's matter?"

Cheng Yao shook his head, "No, my father has been disgusted with me for a long time, and he finally let go, and something like this happened again. I thought, why not give up the position of the prince... and become a free prince myself..."

"How could His Highness have such thoughts?" Wei Dongyang reprimanded, "Your Majesty's decree is, why not wait another year? Why does the prince give up on himself like this?"

Cheng Yao shook his head, "For so many years, I have been trembling and walking on thin ice..." At this point, there were tears in his eyes, "It's too difficult. My fifth brother is better than me in everything. I..."

"Your Highness, I have long said that you are too impatient, so please be patient! I will naturally find a way for you."

Cheng Yao couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that his goal had been achieved.

　As expected, I am not suitable for writing about Machiavellian tactics.
