Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 355: An Old Man Comes From Afar (3)
"Oh, so you prefer Yu Ze'er?" the emperor asked.

Prince Ning nodded and said: "This is what I think in my heart, but it's hard to say, anyway, my body is not bad, so I might as well wait a few more years, when they all have children, let's see how the children are. .”

The emperor nodded and said: "Well, what Wang Di said makes sense. The matter of succession is not only up to the son, but also to the grandson. Alas, Wang Di, we are really brothers, and even the things that bother us are similar. ...is bothering about this too!"

Prince Ning knew that his royal brother didn't like the crown prince very much in the past two or three years, and the crown prince was not pleasing to the eye. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no more suitable candidate for the crown prince, the crown prince would have been abolished long ago.

"Your majesty's sage candlelight, there will be a wise and holy decision, so don't worry too much. Your majesty, please take care of the dragon's body!" Prince Ning said hastily.

The emperor forced a smile, walked to the imperial book table and sat down, he said solemnly: "When I was a prince, my younger brother could still talk to me, since I ascended the throne of the ninety-five lord, I even There is no one who can speak. Brother Wang, you and I are brothers of the same mother. I want to be the king, and you are also a virtuous king. We brothers have to support each other and go on. Don’t live with me. separated."

The emperor's words were so serious that Prince Ning immediately knelt down, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Brother Huang, I have no birth relationship with you."

The queen raised her hand and said: "Get up, why did you kneel down again, today you came to me about family matters, and I will ask you about family matters too."

Only then did Prince Ning stand up and said, "Brother, please tell me."

"Brother Wang, I want to abolish the crown prince. The crown prince is narrow-minded, paranoid and indifferent. If he inherits the inheritance of the ancestors, I am worried that it will be difficult to preserve the great Liang Jiangshan." The emperor said in a very low voice.At this moment, he and Prince Ning are really brothers and sisters.Both are worrying about the eldest son who cannot inherit the family business.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the heir apparent of the country, and he should not be abolished lightly. Have you thought about it?" Prince Ning asked anxiously.

The emperor nodded, then shook his head again, "Brother Wang, I have made up my mind to abolish the crown prince, but I have not yet decided who to appoint."

Prince Ning secretly thought about the situation of the emperor's sons, and he knew the emperor's scruples.

The prince was originally the second son of the former empress, and the eldest son of the emperor died young. In terms of status, the status of the prince is the highest among the princes.The second prince and the third prince are twin brothers. Their birth mothers are of low status and are just a permanent presence. The fourth prince is the son of the empress, second only to the crown prince in status. Possibility of succession.The sixth prince was born of the concubine De, the daughter of Guidihou's mansion, and her status was only lower than that of the prince and the fourth prince, but although the concubine De had a high status, she was not favored, and even the emperor didn't like the son of the sixth prince very much.Next came the Seventh Prince, whose biological mother had died young, and his family had withered, and he was not even as confident as his younger brothers.

After going through the many princes in his mind, Prince Ning was also a little worried. There are quite a few princes, but it is really impossible to choose a candidate who is perfect for that seat.

"Brother Wang, what do you think of Thirteen?" The emperor suddenly asked.

"The thirteenth prince is naturally excellent." Prince Ning hurriedly said with a smile.

The thirteenth prince, Xiao Gang, was born to the emperor's favorite concubine Li. He is 11 years old this year. As early as three years ago, the emperor had personally selected Xu Wanrong, the fifth daughter of the Korean government, as his wife. Unlike the seventh prince Xiao Yi , is about to leave the palace to open the house, and has not yet decided on the candidate for the princess.It was only a few days ago during the great court meeting that the emperor issued a decree to bestow the marriage, and the seventh prince Xiao Yi finally decided on the candidate for the title and princess.

"Gang'er is a good boy, but his temper is a little gentler. If he is more rigid, I won't be in trouble." Talking to his younger brother, the emperor relaxed a lot, and he was able to say a few words from his heart.

Prince Ning responded with a smile: "Brother, the world is peaceful now, and princes don't have to fight like we used to. It's not a bad thing to be gentler. Besides, the thirteen princes are still young, so take your time." Just teach."

Of course, this is to save face, Prince Ning definitely doesn't think so.What does it mean that a son is more precious than a mother?The Thirteenth Prince is the best example.The emperor dotes on Concubine Li, so naturally he looks at Concubine Li's son with special regard. In fact, the thirteenth prince is just a middle-of-the-road choice regardless of temperament or talent, and there is nothing special about it.If he were to be the crown prince, I'm afraid it would be as suitable as the present crown prince.Although the current crown prince is narrow-minded, he has the determination to act decisively. If a monarch has that kind of indecisive temperament, it is definitely not a blessing in the world.

"Well, what Wang Di said is also true. Let's wait a few years until Gang'er gets married. My body is considered strong, and I can last for a few more years." The emperor and Prince Ning really deserved to be Brothers, the circumstances of the two are so similar, they are both worried about the son who will inherit the family business.

Prince Ning went out of the palace and returned to the mansion, and talked to the concubine about the abolition of the son.Princess Ning heard that she would not invent the decree first, but would choose a candidate after she had grandchildren, so she nodded and said: "That's fine, let's let it go for a few years, and the prince doesn't have to worry about it all the time."

Prince Ning said with a smile: "That's right, put all your worries aside first, I just want to be with you and let you give birth to our little son safely."

Princess Ning hummed lightly, leaning on her husband's shoulder and said: "Your Highness can rest assured that you can think about my concubine like this. There is nothing important in the court now, so you can just hide and tell the emperor for a few days to wait for the spring flowers." After opening, accompany my concubine to live in Zhuangzi for a few days?"

Prince Ning smiled and said: "Okay, after the first month, I will ask the emperor for leave." The couple had a good discussion, and they planned to ask for leave to go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city for a few days when the spring is green.But they didn't know that there was a large group of people rushing towards the capital from the southwest direction. These people came for Prince Ning's mansion, and it might be difficult for Prince Ning and Concubine Ning's leisure trip to take place.

The days are passing like a small river, the first month is over soon, and half of February is over in the blink of an eye. Princess Ning is three months pregnant, and she can walk around in the garden, breathing with the fragrance of green grass fresh air.

This day Du Heng was walking in the garden with his mother-in-law, when Xiao Ze suddenly ran in from outside.Princess Ning frowned and said angrily, "Ze'er, why are you running in such a hurry?"
