Chapter 246
Worshiping the heavens is a very important thing, but Emperor Xia Hui actually put aside the adult four princes and the seven princes of the thirteen emperors, and asked the eight-year-old ten princes to go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens instead.

This Mount Tai is not close to the capital, and the tenth prince is young and delicate, so it is impossible for him to hurry, stop and go, and he did not plan to walk for two months to get there.In addition to the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven, and the time to return, it might take half a year.

In half a year, many things will happen.

At this time, Empress Shen felt a little regretful that she didn't snatch the tenth prince over and put it in her own name. With the tenth prince in front, Empress Shen also forgot about the fourth prince.

It's not that she doesn't miss the Fourth Prince, but that Concubine Tang and the Fourth Prince are indifferent to her thoughts, which makes Empress Shen very angry.So seeing the death of the prince, his eyes shifted from the fourth prince to the tenth prince.

This time, when she heard that Emperor Xia Hui wanted the Tenth Prince to sacrifice to heaven, Empress Shen was startled. Didn't she let the Tenth Prince die?

Compared with the fourth prince, the tenth prince had better control. Empress Shen also figured it out, and no longer struggled with the little 'love' with Concubine Tang.And the tenth prince's biological mother, Yao concubine, came out of Empress Shen's palace. Although she died, she had this relationship, and if she made good use of it, the tenth prince could get close to the middle palace.

What reassures Empress Shen most is that the tenth prince's birth mother has no enmity with Empress Shen.

"My Majesty, the Empress would like to see you." Eunuch Chen reported.

In the imperial study, Emperor Xia Hui looked dignified, his brows were tightly furrowed, he was haggard and aged a lot, and there were a lot of white hairs in his hair. It can be seen that Emperor Xia Hui was greatly shocked by the death of the crown prince.

Emperor Xia Hui paused for a moment, then looked up at Eunuch Chen. Empress Shen usually would not look for him if she had nothing to do.

In the past, Empress Shen was also the person Emperor Xia Hui was most on guard against, but now because of the relationship between Empress Dowager Cui and King Ruijun, and the fact that the first prince born by Empress Shen died, Emperor Xia Hui also needed With the support of the Shen family, Emperor Xia Hui also felt like an old married couple towards Empress Shen, as if it took decades for them to have feelings.

Emperor Xia Hui stood up, walked out of the imperial study, and headed towards Fengyi Palace in a chariot.

Compared with before, Empress Shen is more anxious. Although Empress Shen is hard-pressed, she doesn't know when she will die, and there are only a few years left. Maybe once she falls asleep, she will fall into a deep sleep forever. .

So regarding the matter of the emperor's heir, Empress Shen was very anxious. Although Concubine Duangui and the crown prince were gone, the belly of the crown prince was still there.Empress Shen naturally does not want Concubine Duan Gui's grandson to inherit the throne, it is better to give it to the current tenth prince. As for the white-eyed wolf of the fourth prince, Empress Shen has already given up.

After Emperor Xia Hui arrived at Fengyi Palace, he saw Empress Shen lying on the bed like decades ago. Emperor Xia Hui was very displeased with the dullness of Fengyi Palace and the long-soaked smell of medicine.

So he seldom came to Fengyi Palace, on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, he came here according to the rules, Emperor Xia Hui also came to see Empress Shen, and never stayed overnight in Fengyi Palace.

Empress Shen is also a half-dead person, how dare she keep Emperor Xia Hui, if she gets sick and gives it to Emperor Xia Hui, she, the empress, will also be questioned.

"Zi 橦" Emperor Xia Hui had mild eyebrows and eyes, from the chair next to Empress Shen's bed, lightly holding Empress Shen's skinny hand.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Shen looked at Emperor Xia Hui with moist eyes, and coughed twice.

"Zi Lu is not healthy, stop talking, I will sit with you." Emperor Xia Hui said, he naturally knew that Empress Shen had something to do with him, and if it was fine, Empress Shen would not look for him either.However, in front of Empress Shen, or on the surface, Emperor Xia Hui was still very willing to show his harmony with the Central Palace.

"Your Majesty, drink some water." The nurse who was serving by Empress Shen poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

Emperor Xia Hui took the cup easily, and pretended to feed Empress Shen to drink water. The mother was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, let the servants come."

"Your Majesty, let Nanny come." Empress Shen looked at Emperor Xia Hui's movements, and the sarcasm that flashed in her eyes quickly recovered, revealing a moved expression.

Emperor Xia Hui saw that he couldn't hold back Nanny, and listened to Empress Shen's words, but also handed the water glass to Nanny.

After Empress Shen drank the water, she felt that her throat was much better. She waved her hand and told the nanny to step back, leaving only herself and Emperor Xia Hui in the room.

"Zi Lu, what do you want to tell me?" Emperor Xia Hui's voice was still gentle, and he tucked the quilt up for Empress Shen again, like a considerate and good husband.

"The concubine heard that the emperor asked the tenth prince to go to Mount Tai to worship heaven on his behalf. It's not that the concubine wants to stop the tenth prince, but the tenth prince is still young and the journey is far away. The tenth prince's body can't bear it."

What Empress Shen said was straightforward, and Emperor Xia Hui understood what Empress Shen meant. He frowned, looked at Empress Shen and said, "For the sacrifice to heaven, there is no suitable candidate except for the ten princes. The empress has a suitable candidate in her heart." candidate."

Empress Shen was slightly sarcastic. Emperor Xia Hui said that there was no suitable candidate except the tenth prince, that is, the fourth prince and the seventh prince were not within the scope of Emperor Xia Hui's consideration, so what else could she say.

Moreover, she didn't let the tenth prince go because it was for the tenth prince's good.

At that moment, Empress Shen sighed quietly, "A lot of things have happened in these years. Your Majesty, we have been husband and wife for decades, and now only three of the ten princes are left. Daughter, if something happens to the tenth prince, what should we do? The concubine knows the importance of offering sacrifices to heaven, but the tenth prince is still young, so if something happens, the concubine and the emperor..."

Having said that, Empress Shen didn't continue, but her words were heard by Emperor Xia Hui.

Yes, offering sacrifices to the heavens is important, and the situation in the court, he, the emperor, can't leave, and it's impossible for the clan to replace him.The most suitable person to sacrifice to heaven on his behalf is the prince, and Emperor Xia Hui is not ignorant of the current situation in the court, and the road to sacrifice to heaven is full of dangers.

Thinking about it now, his idea was very risky.

If his own prince is gone, then the candidates for the crown prince will fall to the fourth prince and the seventh prince, and Emperor Xia Hui has heart knots with the fourth prince, it should be said that he has heart knots with the Tang family and his son, but Emperor Xia Hui is even less concerned. Maybe let a prince born of a princess from another country inherit the throne, and after a hundred years, he will have no face to see his ancestors.

Although the Fourth Prince, Seventh Prince, and Tenth Prince are all sons of Emperor Xia Hui, Emperor Xia Hui does not have that much affection for these three sons.It's just that no matter how dissatisfied Emperor Xia Hui was on the selection of the crown prince, he could only choose the tenth prince, the fourth prince and the seventh prince, and Emperor Xia Hui would not consider it.

"Xiao Shi should stay with me." Emperor Xia Hui finally decided that the tenth prince was raised by Yi Fanghua's side before, and he developed a timid and cowardly character. This was what Emperor Xia Hui liked to see before, but Now because of this, Emperor Xia Hui also has a lot of dissatisfaction with Yi Fanghua.

Fortunately, the tenth prince was still young, and Emperor Xia Hui felt that the tenth prince still had room to be cultivated, so he brought him with him and taught him well.It would not be a problem to let the tenth prince go to Taishan with his current personality, but thinking of the fourth prince who is not stupid now, Emperor Xia Hui felt even more that it might be a good thing to push the fourth prince to the front.

Empress Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to mention it to Emperor Xia Hui, and let the tenth prince be recorded in her name, but when the words came to her lips, Empress Shen hurriedly stopped her.

Soon, Emperor Xia Hui changed the candidate for offering sacrifices to the heavens, and asked the fourth prince to perform sacrifices to the heavens on Mount Tai.

There was an uproar in the court, and no one would have thought that Emperor Xia Hui had changed his candidate again. Isn't Emperor Xia Hui the most dissatisfied with the fourth prince? How could he let the fourth prince go to sacrifice to heaven.

Could it be that the fourth prince is the candidate for the crown prince in Emperor Xia Hui's mind, and for a while, people are guessing how Emperor Xia Hui's next move will be.

The matter of offering sacrifices to heaven fell on the fourth prince's head, and he set off in three days.

Baili Yanqing sneered, others thought that Emperor Xia Hui wanted the fourth prince to be the crown prince, but Emperor Xia Hui just wanted to set up a rake to protect the stomach of the tenth prince and even the princess.

However, Baili Yanqing was very happy to see the fourth prince go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens.She doesn't care about the safety of other people, but she wants to protect Yan Yuheng and the fourth prince.

Concubine Tang in the palace was the first to receive the message from Empress Shen, and she was silent there.

On the side, Nanny Fei disdained Empress Shen's good-for-nothing approach, and acted as if she was thinking of Concubine Tang. If the tenth prince was not raised in Qianqing Palace, the emperor might really like the fourth prince.But the tenth prince was raised in the Qianqing Palace, and Emperor Xia Hui asked the fourth prince to take the tenth prince to Mount Tai to worship the heavens. How could they not see this obvious partiality.

Fei Momo sighed, and said to the silent Tang Concubine, "My Lady, it is a good thing that King Ning goes to sacrifice to heaven."

It is indeed a good thing. Those who can sacrifice to heaven on their behalf are usually the princes who are so important. It is also a great honor for the prince to be able to sacrifice to heaven, and it is even a great advantage in the competition for storage.

"I know, they are using my son as a rake, and they want my son to protect the Tenth Prince from disaster." Speaking of this, Concubine Tang was angry again, and smiled sarcastically, "They have nowhere to go. I don't even want to see if the Tenth Prince can stand up."

Although Concubine Tang lived in seclusion, she knew the tenth prince well, and with the prince around, Emperor Xia Hui did not want any prince to threaten the status of the prince. It can be seen that Emperor Xia Hui still had a preference for the prince.

It is also because of this that the tenth prince was raised and abandoned. Although he is only eight years old, it is not a matter of overnight to cultivate him.Besides, with the current situation in the court, it is still one thing whether the Tenth Prince has this fate.

It's just that Concubine Tang is also worried about her son, and she can say she hates Emperor Xia Hui deeply. They have lost their love for a long time, but Emperor Xia Hui has touched her bottom line again and again, and Concubine Tang is furious. burnt.

"Mum, have you contacted someone outside?" At this point, Concubine Tang no longer has so many scruples.

 Chapter 230 eight, slightly wrongly written, has been corrected.The crown prince was dead, and Emperor Xia Hui asked the tenth prince to sacrifice to heaven. Now that Empress Shen came forward, the tenth prince became the fourth prince.
