Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Ning looked at Zhao Yuan and said, "Children should not listen to adults."

Zhao Yuan got up from the bed and said, "Mother said I am no longer a child."

Twelve or thirteen-year-old Zhao Yuan was indeed not a child. In later generations, he would be a junior high school student, and his mind seemed even younger.

It stands to reason that the children of the royal family should not be as naive as him, but when he was born, he had several older brothers, which meant that he was destined to have no chance of becoming emperor. In this way, he did not have to think too deeply. Zhao Yuan's growth path was to eat and pick up girls.

His maturity was only reflected in picking up girls.

Zhao Man originally wanted to spend some time with Tang Ning, but with Zhao Yuan around, she naturally could not do anything out of the ordinary. After sitting for a while, she walked out of the study.

Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Man's back, then looked at Tang Ning, and said, "Sir, the emperor's sister likes you too."

Tang Ning opened a book and said casually, "Do you know what love means?"

Zhao Yuan said, "The way the emperor's sister looks at you is the same as the way the sister of the Wang family looks at me, that is love."

He looked at Tang Ning and said, "Sir, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else that the emperor's sister likes you, let alone my father."

"Don't talk nonsense, kid..." Tang Ning waved his hand, then realized something, looked at him, and asked, "Why did you say "also"?"

Zhao Yuan said, "The emperor's sister likes you, and you also like the emperor's sister. I can see it in your eyes."

Tang Ning closed the book in his hand. If the person in front of him was not his disciple, not the prince, he should have considered silencing him now.

Zhao Yuan did not continue the topic, and asked curiously, "Sir, will the prince of Duan become the crown prince?"

Tang Ning nodded. The position of the prince of Duan in the heart of the emperor Chen is irreplaceable. He should become the crown prince in the past two years.

Zhao Yuan continued to ask: "Then, will Prince Duan become the emperor?"

"This..." Tang Ning thought for a moment, and suddenly looked at Zhao Yuan and asked: "Why are you asking this?"

Zhao Yuan's expression suddenly became serious. He looked up at Tang Ning and said solemnly: "Sir, I want to be the emperor. Please help me!"

"..."

Tang Ning was caught off guard by this scene. He looked at Zhao Yuan, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long time, he looked at Zhao Yuan and asked: "Why do you want to be the emperor?"

"Because I want to marry the sister of the Wang family, the sister of the Zhang family, and the sister of the Bai family." Zhao Yuan said solemnly: "If I don't become the emperor, they will marry others. Even if I die, I will not watch them marry others!"

Being an emperor is to marry a wife. This reason seems a bit ridiculous, but for Zhao Yuan, it doesn't seem to be.

Tang Ning can understand his feelings. For some people, this may be more important than life.

But Zhao Yuan didn't know that if his words were spread, it might cause a devastating blow to him, Concubine Shu, and even the Fang family.

Tang Ning looked at Zhao Yuan and asked, "Who else have you told these words to?"

Zhao Yuan said, "My mother didn't let me tell anyone else, so I only told you, sir, because I know you understand me."

Tang Ning really understood.

He could go to Chu for Zhao Man and bring her back from the whirlpool and quagmire of Chu, and he could also kill the hope of Liang's restoration for Su Mei with one sword. It was not difficult to understand that Zhao Yuan vowed to fight for the throne for his three childhood sweethearts.

There is some truth in the saying that like teacher, like disciple.

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Did your mother let you fight?"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

Zhao Yuan's words today actually surprised Tang Ning. He had met Concubine Shu several times, and the impression she gave him was mostly a feeling of weakness and non-competition, but he didn't expect that she actually wanted to let Prince Run win the throne.

On second thought, these things seem reasonable.

Whether it is Prince Duan or Prince Kang who takes the throne, Prince Run, as the son of the favorite concubine of the previous emperor, will probably not have a good ending. If he does not fight, he will die. If he fights, there may be a glimmer of hope.

No, more than one glimmer.

The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel are both in the hands of the Fang family. If you count their connections, they are much larger than any party in the court. In terms of resources and connections alone, no one can compare with him.

Compared with Prince Duan, the only flaw of Prince Run is that he is too young and has not yet entered the eyes of Emperor Chen.

But he will grow up eventually. However, by that time, Prince Duan will have become a successor, and it is afraid that he will not be able to sit on the throne. If he wants to participate in the fight for the throne, he can only start from childhood.

Prince Duan is undefeated, and the Tang family is undefeated. This is an indisputable fact.

Tang Ning was actually worried about the affairs of Prince Duan and the Tang family, and Zhao Yuan opened a breakthrough for him.

No, it opened a new world for him.

As long as Zhao Yuan can sit on that supreme position, all problems can be solved.

Emperor Chen wants to make Prince Duan the crown prince. He can't go against Emperor Chen, but Emperor Chen can. His health is still good, and Zhao Yuan still has enough time to get into his eyes.

Tang Ning doesn't care about what happens after Zhao Yuan becomes the emperor. Whether his mind will change or not, it doesn't matter. At that time, he and his wives are like wind and sand, entangled to the end of the world.

All he wants is to wait for Lan Lan in these two years, and at the same time pull Prince Duan down from that position, and pull the Tang family down from that position.

Zhao Yuan looked at Tang Ning and said pleadingly: "Sir, please help me. I don't want them to marry anyone else... I will definitely study hard and impress my father..."

Tangning smiled and tore the books into pieces, touched his head, and said, "If you want to be an emperor, reading these books is useless..."

…

Royal study room.

Emperor Chen was reviewing the memorial. Wei Jian slowly walked over from outside, brought a bowl of soup, and said: "Your Majesty, this is from His Highness King Run. His Highness said that His Majesty had a hard time reading the memorial, so he sent a bowl of soup for me." Your Majesty, take care of yourself."

"Yuan'er?" Chen Huang looked down and asked in surprise: "Why didn't he come in?"

Wei Jian smiled and said: "His Highness said that he did not want to disturb His Majesty, so he asked the old slave to bring it in."

"Yuan'er has really grown up." Chen Huang smiled and said, "Bring it here, I happen to be a little thirsty."

Wei Jian thought for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to test this soup?"

"No need, I can rest assured about Yuan'er's cooking. Besides, it's not the first time." Chen Huang picked up the soup cup himself, opened the lid and said with a smile, "I can smell it from a distance. It’s better that Yuan’er understands me and knows what I like to drink…”

…

Shuxiu Palace.

Concubine Shu came out of a certain palace and asked, "Where is Yuan'er?"

A palace maid said: "Back to your Majesty, Your Highness just came back from outside the palace and went to the imperial dining room."

Concubine Shu frowned and said, "I haven't read today's book yet, why would I go to that place again? Go there in person and bring Yuan'er back to me."

The palace maid responded, and just a few steps out, several figures walked in.

She looked at the person at the front and said in surprise: "Mr. Wei is here, but what's the important matter?"

Wei Jian smiled and said: "His Majesty has sent some rewards to His Royal Highness Prince Run and the empress. Let someone collect them..."

After a while, Concubine Shu looked at the pile of generous rewards in front of her and asked Wei Jian, "There is no reason. How could your Majesty reward so many things?"

"There is a reason..." Wei Jian looked at her and said with a smile: "Your Majesty does not know something. Your Majesty, King Run, was worried that your Majesty would be busy with state affairs, so he personally cooked your Majesty's favorite soup and sent it to the imperial study. Your Majesty was very happy. …”

"Soup?" A trace of doubt appeared on Concubine Shu's face, she nodded and accepted the rewards. Just as she returned to the palace, footsteps came from behind her.

She turned her head, looked at Zhao Yuan who was jumping up and down, and asked with a sullen face: "Did you use Father Emperor to test the soup for your Wang sister again?"
