Your majesty, your queen has run away again

Chapter 154 Will it be him?

"You mean that His Majesty has another choice in his mind?"

Who is Xia Yuanting, he naturally knows what Xia Shize is referring to.

"I always feel that Your Majesty doesn't seem to be interested in drinking. He has always looked down on the prince. Although he seems to be more biased towards King Heng now, Concubine Zheng has lost her previous glory..."

Xia Shize had a faint feeling in his heart that these two people were not the candidates for the heir apparent in Emperor Hengchang's mind.

"Although the crown prince is mediocre, he has the empress and Duke Wu and his name is justified. It doesn't mean that he can be replaced by changing people. As for King Heng, my father never thinks that he will be in power."

Hengwang Bailitai is clever and quick to win over people's hearts and is also a good hand. He has a lot of success in the court and seems to be the most like Emperor Hengchang.

But from Xia Yuanting's point of view, Bailitai's fatal weakness is self-willedness. From this point, he can be sure that Emperor Hengchang will not be the heir apparent.

A moderate emperor might not make Bei Li flourish, but at least it can continue with the help of a group of loyal ministers, but if a self-willed person becomes emperor, if something goes wrong, the whole Bei Li will be overthrown. In the entire continent, Bei Li is not the most powerful country, surrounded by a pack of wolves, wishing they could divide and eat them!

"Then how likely is it that my father thinks that Baili Yi will take over?"

Xia Shize didn't comment on Xia Yuanting's words just now, instead he asked about Baili Yi. He remembered that Xia Yuanting praised Bai Liyi very much.

"Wang Yi?"

Hearing Xia Shize mention Bailiyi's name, Xia Yuanting looked at Xia Shize in disbelief.

Indeed, he had never thought about Baili Yi, because it is well known that His Royal Highness Yi Wang is obsessed with mountains and rivers, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the court. The most he does is play chess with Emperor Hengchang, and go to the imperial dining room to choose a few Your Majesty's favorite dish...

After Xia Shize mentioned it, Xia Yuanting felt a little weird. Emperor Hengchang currently has not many adult princes, and the best ones are the prince, King Heng and King Yi.

King Heng built Hengwang Mansion in Licheng instead of enfeoffing the land because of Emperor Hengchang's favor, while King Yi lived in the palace from the beginning to the end.

This is enough to show that His Royal Highness Yi Wang is a figure who has no influence on the government in the hearts of the courtiers, so everyone doesn't care whether it is in compliance with the rules for him to stay in the palace, but to be honest, Xia Yuanting feels that this Yi Wang Martial arts, literary talent and strategy are not inferior to the prince and Heng Wang, but he has always been low-key and does not show his talents. In addition, Concubine Lian has no influence, so no one has paid attention to the mother and son.

"Father didn't think about it, did he?"

Seeing Xia Yuanting's surprised expression, Xia Shize knew in his heart that if even his father hadn't thought about it, then if there was such a day, he would really admire Emperor Hengchang and Bailiyi.

"If His Majesty really meant him, it can be said that many people really did not expect it! Shize, what do you think?"

Xia Yuanting especially wanted to know why Xia Shize thought of Bailiyi.

"I didn't think much of it, I guessed it!"

If it was just a guess before, then after the conversation with Xia Yuanting today, he was very sure.

Thinking of the occasion when Emperor Hengchang pretended to be inadvertently causing Bailiyi and Murong Yunxiang to meet each other at the palace banquet, Xia Shize's expression turned a little dark, and thinking of Murong Yunxiang going to Tongcheng now, and Bailiyi going Huaishui was only half a day's ride away from Tongcheng, and his face turned dark. He had to make Lingbo pay attention not to let Bailiyi get a chance to get close to Murong Yunxiang.

"From what you said, I feel more and more possible that Concubine Lian can live safely under the noses of the Empress and Concubine Zheng until now, except for Her Majesty protecting her, she is not a little white rabbit. Talent is the real winner..."

Xia Yuanting sighed, why didn't he think about this before?

"If the father has nothing else to do, the son will go out!"

Seeing Xia Yuanting lost in thought, Xia Shize got up and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" It was late at night, Xia Yuanting was a little surprised to see Xia Shize leaving in such a hurry.

"Go to Yun Qi to discuss something..."

After speaking, he disappeared before Xia Yuanting's eyes. Xia Shize did have some things to communicate and confirm with Murong Yunqi, and he must have gotten the news from Murong Lingche.

This kid feels a little bad today. Xia Yuanting noticed that since he mentioned that Bailiyi might be the one chosen by Emperor Hengchang, Xia Shize's expression was a little weird. Could it be that he didn't want Bailiyi to take the position?
But he has always looked down on the prince and King Heng?
It's no wonder that Xia Yuanting didn't go to the palace banquet, so naturally he didn't know about Bailiyi's attention to Murong Yunxiang and Emperor Hengchang's deliberate promotion, otherwise Xia Yuanting would be the first one who didn't want to jump, and dared to rob him and the son he had clearly agreed to. Daughter-in-law doesn't care if you are Yi Wang or Second Wang...

Empress Wu and Concubine Zheng in the palace also knew what happened on the road to Tongcheng. Both of them followed their son's advice and found an opportunity to inquire about Emperor Hengchang's tone, but they didn't get any valuable results, so they were cautious. They all decided to stand still for now. After all, Emperor Hengchang was furious just once. It's better to keep a low profile for a short time. In case of being played by the Murong Mansion, they will be the ones who will be unlucky.

Concubine Lian, on the other hand, just looked to the south with a slight smile after hearing some news, and continued to trim the broken branches of Wanlian in her yard without saying a word.

And Xia Wan'er, who originally went to Xichi Mountain to visit her grandfather and sent some things, also sent a letter. In addition to saying that she arrived at Xichi Mountain safely and that her grandfather was in good health, she also mentioned that her cousin Mingyao felt that Xichi Mountain was boring and would follow her to Li I lived in the city until about the time of Chinese New Year.

In addition, in the letter to Xia Shize, she said that she missed Murong Yunxiang very much, and even Xichishan, which made her linger in the past, thought it was meaningless, and asked Xia Shize to bring her a message saying that she would come back soon, and said that she would bring it. There are so many special products of Xichishan that Xianger will definitely like them, so let her not look forward to them too much.

Xia Shize frowned after reading Xia Wan'er's letter. He didn't feel much about Mingyao's arrival, but it was just a pair of bowls and chopsticks at home. Besides, he would be very busy and had to prepare and arrange things to stay at home. There are not many times, and there must be no chance to meet each other.

I'm a bit hesitant to tell Wan'er that Murong Yunxiang is no longer in Licheng now, because Wan'er may return to Licheng immediately after she knows about her attachment to that girl, it's not appropriate to hurry back after she just left.

But if she didn't talk about it, she might lose her temper when she came back, but Xia Shize decided not to talk about it after thinking twice, and will talk about the time when the time comes.

In Xia Yuanting's and Mingyan's reply, Xia Shize only mentioned a few words about being safe and spending more time with grandpa, and did not mention anything about Murong Yunxiang's going to Tongcheng!
