I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating - Chapter 349
Chapter 349 Filial piety and foolish filial piety
Emperor Jing Yuan had three sons, namely, the first prince born out of concubine Shu, and the second prince born out of the empress. As for the third prince, his biological mother was a foot-washing maid whose background was too low to be ignored.
The eldest prince has passed his thirties, and he has a meek and honest temperament, not suitable for being a king;
More importantly, Concubine Shu is a smart person. Since entering the palace, she has been very cautious, and deliberately raised the eldest prince to have a simple and honest character. The eldest prince is not loved by Emperor Jingyuan. Although she has a unique identity, she was able to grow up safely in the harem that cannibalize people without spit out bones. Later, she even divided the house and married a wife.
As for the second prince, although the second prince was born in the middle palace, he suddenly developed a high fever when he was young. After waking up, he was like a child. Now he is twenty-three, but the second prince has never married a wife.
The third prince, born with eye disease, does not have a strong sense of existence.
“Your Majesty’s three princes are really full of disasters.” Ji Zhao couldn’t help sighing, “I heard that Your Majesty is only in the year of destiny this year. How could he suddenly be so ill?”
“It’s probably a heart attack.” Shen Yao chuckled, “Maybe he took something that shouldn’t be taken, that’s why God treats him like this.”
Ji Zhao opened her eyes silently, she felt that there was something in Shen Yao’s words.
“Zhao Zhao, it’s late at night, let’s make arrangements earlier?” Shen Yao suddenly cupped her face and kissed her affectionately—
The moon is bright and the starry sky is bright.
But the atmosphere in the palace was really dull and breathless.
Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Jingyuan half leaned on the dragon bed, his eyelids drooping, and he said nothing.
“Brother Huang, if you want to recover early, you still need to drink medicine.” Prince Xian pointed to the bowl of soup on the red sandalwood table and said softly, “No matter what, the body is the most important thing.”
“Seventh brother, are you proud?” Emperor Jing Yuan suddenly raised his eyes, and the eyes that fell on Prince Xian’s face were extremely sharp.
“Brother Huang,” Prince Xian sighed with some regret, “In my heart, you will always be the brother who jumped into the lake without hesitation to save me.”
Hearing this, Emperor Jing Yuan lowered his eyes lightly, covering the complex emotions in his eyes.
“You are well aware of what the emperor’s sister-in-law is trying to do.” Prince Xian said softly, “Brother, do you really want Dajing’s country to fall into the hands of foreigners?”
Emperor Jing Yuan remained silent.
“I’m tired, you should step back first.”
“Then brother, take a good rest.”
Prince Xian turned and left.
The next day, an imperial decree suddenly came to the princess’ mansion.
Emperor Jingyuan summoned Princess Chang’an, Princess Kangle and Ji Zhao both cast worried looks at her.
The eldest princess Chang’an, who had already had gorgeous hair on her temples, smiled lightly to comfort her daughter and granddaughter and said, “Don’t be nervous, the emperor is my nephew after all, and it’s reasonable for him to want to see me. I want to talk to him.”
Now that Emperor Jingyuan is seriously ill, Princess Chang’an feels that she has something to say, and if she doesn’t say it, there may be no chance in the future.
“Grandmother, be careful!” Ji Zhao hurriedly urged.
“rest assured!”
Princess Chang’an tidied up a bit before entering the palace.
As soon as she stepped into the Qianqing Hall, she smelled the strong smell of bitter soup and medicine in the air.
She frowned slightly uncomfortable.
“Auntie,” Emperor Jing Yuan called out with complicated emotions as he looked at Princess Chang’an who was sitting at the bottom after retreating from the crowd.
“The emperor saw me because of the black iron token?” Princess Chang’an met his eyes without fear, and asked in a flat tone.
“Yes.” Emperor Jingyuan felt unwilling, “Before my father died, the last person I saw was my aunt. At that time, I knew that the Xuantie Token must be in your hands. Over the years, I have been expressing to you both openly and secretly. You have begged for it many times, but you have always refused to hand over the token to me, but now you have handed it over to the seventh brother, I… I am unwilling. I want to know how much worse I am compared to the seventh brother where?”
Princess Chang’an looked at his stubborn and lonely eyes, and sighed, “Yuhan, don’t you really know where you are?”
Emperor Jing Yuan, named Zhou Yuhan.
He hasn’t heard this name from others for a long time.
“Brother Huang had eight sons back then, only you and the seventh son were the descendants of the Empress of the Central Palace. But who is the emperor’s favorite, you know very well that the emperor’s art lies in weighing. Brother Huang deliberately divided your brothers Divided into six experiences, the purpose is to select the most suitable candidate for the crown prince; Yuhan, although you are both civil and military, you are not as courageous as the fourth child, and you are not as courageous as the seventh child. More importantly, you are too obedient. “
“Aunt… Is filial piety wrong for a son?” Emperor Jing Yuan was really unwilling.
“As a son, one should be filial; you can’t blindly be filial!” The eldest princess took a deep look at him, her eyes full of helplessness, “Your mother, in order to remove obstacles and support you to the throne, she How much blood is on his hands? How many innocent bones are piled up in this deep palace? You know it well, don’t you?”
“Mother’s queen…she is for me!” Emperor Jingyuan argued, “I am the eldest son of the royal family, and the father’s eldest son, but the father favors the seventh and eighth brothers, and the mother’s queen is afraid…”
“Can you kill innocent people indiscriminately just because you are afraid?” Princess Chang’an couldn’t help shaking her head, her words were full of disappointment, “Yuhan, to this day, you still haven’t figured out what your mother did, what she did Everything is for her own selfish desires, she wants the Jiang family to be in power, she is not for you, she is for the prosperity and wealth of the Jiang family, but she forgot that she is your father’s wife first, the empress of Dajing!
How about you? You also forgot, you only remember that you are the good son of your mother, but you forgot your identity, you forgot your surname Zhou! The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but how do you do it? You listen and believe, and trust the Jiang family unconditionally. Even if the Jiang family has done many angry things, you will make big things into small things! You want to be an obedient son, you want to be Jiang Taifu’s good grandson, but you forgot that you are the emperor of Dajing! “
Probably because she had accumulated too much disappointment in her heart, Princess Chang’an couldn’t help but shed tears at this moment.
“I was indeed the last person your father saw before he died. He entrusted the black iron token to my hands, and made me swear to the heavens that I will not leave Kyoto for half a step in this life. I have never left the capital, and I have always kept my oath, why do you think I did this?”
“I also know that you have always wanted to get back the black iron token, and want to concentrate all the rights in the hands of the emperor, but Yuhan, you might as well ask yourself, if this palace really gave you the token, what will happen to you?” Dajing’s Jiangshan is still surnamed Zhou?” The eldest princess of Chang’an smiled bitterly, “I thought that after your mother died of illness, you would repent, realize your mistakes, be diligent in government affairs, and be a generation of Mingjun, but what did you do? What did you do? You have never thought about how to be a Mingjun. You chose to follow your father’s old path and used the emperor’s checks and balances in the harem, which caused the Sun family to grow. The prince born will be the crown prince, right?”
