"Your Majesty, how is the Crown Prince? He is already seventeen. According to the rules, he should be electing as the Crown Prince's consort." The matter that the Minister of Rites had mentioned was related to the continuation of the Royal Family of the Nation of China. Zhu Jianshen was neither able to refute nor refute it.

"What your beloved servant said is extremely true. We will hand this matter over to the Ministry of Rites and the Sect Mansion to handle. As for the empress dowager, I'll go speak with her myself. "

What else could the Crown Prince say? [Can you say that royal father won't succeed? I am a woman, so I don't want to waste the life of the crown prince's consort.]

"Cousin, I'm already old. Shouldn't you tell uncle that you should marry me?" As a princess, Zhou Yiru had always been a doting person, but Zhu Youtang didn't think that his daughter's worries would become even more intense.

"Ming He, you have always known that the Royal Family does not allow such a marriage. It's not right that you should have such thoughts about me. " The crown prince didn't know what he should say to this cousin of his. His own identity and awkwardness couldn't give Zhou Yiru the happiness he wanted.

"Cousin, can you not feel the feelings I have for you all these years?" If you're worried about my identity, I won't be the daughter of the Zhou family. As long as you agree to it, I can change my name. I just want to marry my cousin. "

"Cousin, do you have my secrets in your heart? Otherwise, why would you personally choose a hairpin that would last until the age of 15?" Zhou Yiru was like a drowning person that was tightly hugging onto the only piece of floating wood, not letting go.

Pulling Zhou Yiru's hand that was grabbing her sleeve, Zhu Youtang didn't know how to tell Zhou Yiru his identity and her little thoughts of hiding it.

A girl who can't be old is always longing for something that doesn't belong to her. Therefore, the Crown Prince was especially attentive when it came to selecting gifts that would make Zhou Yiru reach the age of thirty. Not only is it a sincere blessing to my cousin, but it also has its own helplessness.

However, how could the Crown Prince dare to tell his cousin, who he doted on ever since he was young, about such selfish thoughts?

"Yu Li is not suitable, similarly, he only treats you as his younger sister. Ming He, you should know your cousin." Not looking at Zhou Yiru's injured expression, Zhu Youtang hardened her heart and turned to leave. She just let Zhou Yiru cry behind her without turning back.

"Aunty, I can't stand being treated like this anymore. I want to tell you the truth." Cai Xiang and Cai He were the two people who knew Zhu Youtang's true identity, and were also people who personally managed Zhu Youtang's daily life.

All of these things were to ensure that no one knew Zhu Youtang's true identity. This was so that Zhu Youtang could continue to live on. But now, the crown prince was getting married, and Princess Ming He had to confess. Under the oppression of these two things, Zhu Youtang's guilt reached its peak.

was reluctant to let a child whom he doted on be taken care of like a little sister get hurt.

"Your Highness, don't you think that the Empress doesn't care about your master?" Wan is still alive, do you really want to give up on revenge? " Cai Xiang had always been the most rational person and it was only because of Cai Xiang that Eastern Palace was safe and sound these past few years.

Cai Xiang wouldn't allow her own master to give up after so many years of hard work. "Could it be that Your Highness has forgotten the teachings of his ancestors, or that Your Highness doesn't know how cruel imperial guards and East Factory are."

From up to down, the crime of deceiving the monarch was enough for the emperor to cut all 103 people in the Eastern Palace, including the crippled empress of West Palace and the few female members of the Ji Family.

The price was too high. Furthermore, the Princess Huiqing was not a person who did not know the seriousness of their situation. She would not break off relations with Zhu Youtang just for her daughter. Your Highness, the bigger the better. "The princess has always been sensible, but this time she will be the same as well. She will definitely understand that the prince is just an elder brother."

This kind of self-deception was what Zhu Youtang needed the most right now. Cai Xiang's life by Former Empress Wu's side was not lived in vain.

"You have done well in this matter, unless the crown prince has already ascended the throne and the Wan is dead. Otherwise, to us, every step of the way is still dangerous. "

After hearing Cai Xiang's words, the Former Empress Wu thought about the current situation.

"The selection of the Crown Princess must be done, and it must be done in a grand way. If the Wan does not act in disorder, then it means that our fire is not big enough, so we must definitely connect this matter of choosing a concubine with the Wan. "

After getting rid of the Wan, Zhu Youtang also had his own princess consort, and even the position of emperor was already his.

"This servant understands. This servant will do it right away."

After thinking for a moment, Former Empress Wu dragged someone to say something before Cai Xiang left, "There's no need for the crown prince of Princess Huiqing to come out, let me do it."

The Former Empress Wu had his own plans. Princess Ming He was the daughter of the Princess Huiqing. Zhou Yiru only wanted to marry the crown prince because of their childhood sweetheart, and because the crown prince doted on and doted on Zhou Yiru.

Thus, if the princess were to find out that the crown prince had rejected her request, she would only feel disgraced. As the mother of Princess Huiqing, she would definitely be angry at her own daughter for being disliked by the crown prince.

However, if this matter wasn't brought up by the crown prince and he asked his aunt to look after his cousin, but rather by the dignified former empress, things would turn for the better.

"Aunt, greetings to Aunt."

Princess Huiqing waved her hand, indicating that Zhu Youtang did not need to stand on ceremony.

"Your cousin didn't know better and gave you trouble. Auntie is feeling bad." I will take care of this matter. You should know your cousin's willfulness as well. It won't happen again. "

The Princess Huiqing did not say anything. Zhu Youtang also did not ask, and only nodded, indicating that all of this was something he should do. Cousin has always been sensible, it was Understand that didn't do it well. "

"When it is time to say something good, the crown prince will also say it." Yes, it is time to find a wife for Ming He, and help me take note of this, I am not as good as you, after all. "

"Aunt, it was because there was a teacher helping you that aunt said that." Seeing the Princess Huiqing leave, Zhu Youtang looked at Cai Xiang who was standing behind him.

"Your Highness, as long as you know that the matter has been resolved, everything is fine. Your highness has instructed your highness to think it through clearly. As for the selection of your consort, what should be done about it?"

Cai Xiang didn't know how Former Empress Wu would explain it to him, but the Grand Princess would pay attention to everything. But as long as the result was good, Cai Xiang felt that she did not need to pay attention to the process.

What did Former Empress Wu say? It was nothing more than a recount of the Great Han Dynasty's illustrious Jin Wu Zhai's story.

[Grand Princess, you have the love of the empress dowager and the protection of the Zhou family. In fact, the Crown Prince will definitely not be someone like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the future. If that's the case, why do you need to gamble so much to harm your daughter's life?]

Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really have no feelings for Empress Chen? No. But there was also the clan and the world between the two of them. Since childhood, deep feelings had not been able to hold back time. Since there was already a precedent, why not make a clear choice?

Rather than falling into the same predicament as Chen A-Jiao and the Chen family, it was better to give up on the idea that he shouldn't have done so earlier. That way, the Zhou family would still be part of the imperial family, and the Grand Princess would still support the crown prince to ascend the throne.

As the aunt of the new emperor, and also from the merit of the dragon. Princess Huiqing did not need to worry, the Zhou Family would not be able to survive. The smallest threat to the greatest success. Such a good thing, no one would not be moved.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Looking at the portrait in his room, Zhou Yiru didn't dare think that his mother would use such a method to warn him.

"I won't marry anyone else, except for the crown prince. I won't marry anyone else." Seeing her daughter fiercely resist, Grand Princess was not surprised. This also verified Former Empress Wu's words, making him even more resolute in his decision.

"You don't want to? It's not up to you to be unwilling, but marriage has always been a matrimonial word between parents. As your princess, shouldn't I be in charge of the marriage? "

"I think highly of the princess. If the princess leaves the mansion, all of you should just wait to receive your punishments." "If threats are useful, then I will naturally serve you." You better reflect on your mistake. You should insist on having Princess Mansion and the Zhou Family accompany you in death, and even drag the crown prince into prison. Or, you should just become your princess. "

With that, the Grand Princess didn't care how fierce her daughter's resistance was, she left.

"Madam, are we really going to do this?"

"You are the softhearted one, and I am not the one in charge of this matter with Zhou. Your daughter has taken a liking to the current crown prince, and is now the future emperor." Do you really think she can control the harem? I seriously didn't think that an official would care. "

Ancestral teachings and the court is the gap between the two cannot be crossed, is the royal family and the division of the name of the law. Even if he had the intention to strengthen the Zhou Family and improve his own status, Grand Princess still did not dare to risk the Great Consecration of the World to send his daughter to the palace.

"Wan Family has been keeping a low profile these past two years. Ever since that case, Wan Family has been keeping a low profile and even opened a good school outside. "Ever since Consort Wan's father passed away, Consort Wan's two elder brothers bound their disciples even more tightly."

"Your Highness, this official was unable to find any clues."

To deal with Consort Wan, the first thing she had to do was to take advantage of him. Using the Wan Family s to delay the Consort Wan s would result in a 50% chance of success for the Consort Wan s.

It was just that in the past few years, the Wan Family had been keeping a low profile, and could not even compare to the Zhou Family's domineering attitude. What's more, Consort Wan's restrictions on Wan Family were becoming tighter and tighter, to the point that sixteen year old disciples of the Wan Family did not even bother to follow suit. Only towards Shang Jia and other areas of development, the Wan was a very shrewd person.

"What plan does the crown prince have?" Ye Shuo was still serving in the Eastern Palace as the crown prince's tutor, so when he knew that the Wan did not have any leads, he subconsciously looked towards the crown prince.

These few years, as the crown prince grew older, Ye Shuo increasingly realized that the crown prince's intelligence was no less than that of his disciple, Xie Qian. The Crown Prince was even better, and the Crown Prince, who was in charge of the court, was kind. How could such a person not be convincing?

"It's a good thing that I had a hand in this. It was about time, but the choice of the Crown Princess had not been decided. royal father cannot be shocked, just stay in the Consort Wan for a little longer. "

[You have decided that I won't interfere in your plan, but Wan still needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. Your identity is a disaster after all. Wan will not be at peace until we get rid of you. "

Former Empress Wu knew that the crown prince was a girl for fourteen years after reaching completion. However, the Wu family's grievances and he would have to rely on the crown prince as a girl for the rest of his life, Former Empress Wu was not a tolerant person. As such, he decided to just leave it at that and pretend as if he didn't know anything.

In any case, Zhu Youtang was not bad, at least compared to Zhu Jianshen, he was an enlightened ruler.

In order to achieve his own goals, the Former Empress Wu blocked off all information. Other than the Consort Wan, who could not be removed immediately, those who knew of the crown prince's identity could easily obtain it with their five fingers.

"And you must remember that the future of the princess consort is not to be too prominent. It would be best if they did not belong to the Beautiful Book Sect or one of their ancestors. It would be best if they did not belong to the Shuntian Palace or Ying Tian Palace. "

As long as she didn't have anything to do with the royal family or the capital, this princess consort would be easy to deal with. As long as the Crown Princess was weak, she would be safe for the Crown Prince. That way, the Crown Princess wouldn't be a threat to the safety of the Crown Prince. In the future, she could be a decoration.
