Chapter 1117 The Prince
The empress of the Han Dynasty had a habit of standing at the highest point of the palace and overlooking everything inside and outside the palace.
Because this move not only allowed her to calm down and think about the problem.
More importantly, she can see people and things that she can't usually see.
Especially with the powerful tool of a telescope, she can see more things.
For example, a concubine who deliberately stayed in a certain place could pretend to have a chance encounter with the emperor.
Another example is a palace maid who likes to be lazy.
Another example is which little yellow door always drags which little palace maid to go to which corner...
Too much.
Standing at the highest point of the palace, you can see too many things.
This is the privilege of the emperor, but it is a pity that Adou, the emperor, would rather stay in the shade below and dig out the ice cream with a spoon at this time.
He had no interest in climbing to a higher place to see the scenery - he was too tired to climb up.
Just as Zhang Xingcai was staring at a certain place with a thoughtful look on his face, Zhang Xingyi's voice suddenly came:
“Sister, sister!”
Zhang Xingcai turned his head slightly and saw his sister running over with her skirt in hand.
But seeing that her face was rosy, there seemed to be a gleaming light underneath her skin, like a delicate flower watered by rain and dew, exuding an astonishing beauty.
Zhang Xingcai took a deep breath and turned his head away from looking at her.
“What are you looking at, sister?”
Zhang Xingyi was in a very good mood and did not notice his sister's gaze.
“Look over there.”
Zhang Xingcai pointed in a certain direction of the palace.
“What’s there?”
“How about you take a look for yourself?”
The Empress of the Han Dynasty said, handing over a telescope.
Zhang Xingyi did not doubt that he was there, so he took it and raised the telescope to look in the direction that his sister said.
This didn't matter, she was almost frightened and threw away the treasure worth half a million yuan in her hand.
It turned out that she saw a familiar figure coming out of the Chancery through the telescope, preparing to leave the palace.
Mrs. Right glanced at the Empress of Han guiltily.
Unexpectedly, the Empress of the Han Dynasty broke her luck as soon as she opened her mouth:
“Feng Mingwen came into the palace, what did he say to you?”
"no no…"
Your right husband subconsciously wanted to deny it, but seeing the calm face of the Empress of Han Dynasty, she swallowed the following words and reorganized her words:
"It's nothing. He just said that he missed me so much that he couldn't help but come to the palace to see me."
The Empress of the Han Dynasty glanced at her.
"The other thing is, let me give him some advice on how to handle the official affairs of the house."
The Empress of the Han Dynasty nodded slightly, this is the official business.
“What did you tell him?”
“Just let him transfer all these matters to the Chancellor’s desk.”
Hearing this, the Empress of the Han Dynasty finally turned around and looked at her sister:
"How did he say?"
"Of course I agreed." Mrs. Right raised her head proudly, "Sister, you underestimate my Alang too much. Is he the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation?"
"If not, how could the Prime Minister entrust all the affairs in Guanzhong to him? I have told you before that he always likes to be lazy and never likes to deal with government affairs."
The Empress of the Han Dynasty did not speak. She just turned her head and was silent for a while before speaking:
"So after he separated from you, he immediately went to the Chancellor's Desk. Is this the original reason? In this case, Feng Mingwen can indeed be regarded as free and easy."
The right lady raised her head even higher: "That's not the case! So, sister, from now on, you should never judge a gentleman with a villain's heart."
Can’t bear to see her sister’s appearance, the Empress of Han couldn’t help but mock:
"You haven't officially passed by yet, and you started to protect me? Are you saying that I use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman?"
"Well, let me ask you, you two have been in the side hall for so long and you just said this one thing, right?"
Mrs. Right's heart trembled. She didn't dare to look at her sister, but she said firmly:
“That’s natural! Otherwise, what else can we say?”
Seeing her like this, the Empress of the Han Dynasty sneered:
“I believe it if he didn’t say anything else, but if he did something else, I can’t say for sure.”
The right lady almost jumped up as if she had been stepped on a painful spot: "Sister, please stop talking nonsense. What can we do?"
The queen didn't even look at her, she just said in a calm tone:
"Since you said that I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, then I will act according to the rules of a gentleman and have someone check to see if someone has committed the crime of desecrating the palace. How about that?"
Even if Mrs. Right is a cunning fox who has become a spirit, her years of cultivation are far less than those of her sister!
The blush on her face had not subsided, but when her sister said this, her face suddenly became even more embarrassed and she subconsciously exclaimed:
"don't want!"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that it was going to be worse!
She was horrified to find that the Empress of Han Dynasty turned her head to look at her again, her eyes cold and cold.
As the queen's biological sister, how could she not understand her elder sister?
The conversation between the two sisters shows that my sister already knew everything that happened in the palace.
“Sister, I, I don’t have…”
The right lady subconsciously resisted needlessly.
Zhang Xingcai didn't say anything, but turned his head again and looked into the distance. He didn't know whether he believed it or not.
There was a long silence between the two sisters, and then the queen spoke again:
“No one has faults. It’s just that there are some mistakes, and it doesn’t matter even if you make them. But there are some mistakes that you can’t make, because if you make them, you will lose your life.”
"In the same way, some people can make certain mistakes, and some people cannot. You are my sister, and as a sister, I naturally want to protect you."
"Feng Mingwen is my brother-in-law and a great hero of the Han Dynasty. The emperor must be more tolerant of him than others."
"Even if the emperor allows him to stay in the palace and send maids to sleep with him, it won't matter. The worst is that Feng Mansion will have a few more concubines in the future."
"Only I can't be like you just now." The Empress of the Han Dynasty said, sternly glaring at Madam Right, "Forget it this time, but you must not do it again in the future. If not, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhang Xingyi breathed a sigh of relief quietly and said "oh" obediently.
She just thought about it and looked at her sister angrily:
“Sister, what did you mean by asking the palace maid to sleep with him just now?”
Are you my biological sister?
The Empress of the Han Dynasty glanced at Madam Right:
“How about you take out the secret technique of the master’s sect that Feng Mingwen left for you and make a copy for the palace?”
Other things can be discussed, but not this one!
Even if my sister is the empress of the Han Dynasty, it won’t work!
“There is no reason in the world to take away other people’s family knowledge by force!”
Seeing Madam Right showing her teeth and claws, Queen Zhang glared at her:
"Not willing? How many children will you have with him? Can you guarantee that A Mo can learn all the knowledge in Feng Mansion?"
Feng Mingwen can now be regarded as one of the emperor's most trusted ministers.
At the same time, he was also the most powerful upstart in the Han Dynasty.
Not to mention the Feng family's wealth, knowledge, and connections in the court, the military, and local states and counties, even a century-old family may not be able to match him.
In addition to not having so many in-law relationships, there are not enough people.
However, it is precisely because the Feng family does not have the complicated in-law relationships of other families that the royal family trusts him more and more.
But the problem of insufficient people in the house is a real flaw.
If someone had Feng Mingwen's status, he would already have hundreds of concubines of various types including Kabuki and dancers in his house.
Unfortunately, in his house, not only the concubines, but also the number of concubines granted by the imperial court were not met.
If it weren't for the fact that the wives and concubines in the house had not given birth to six children, the palace would have helped him to make up for the concubines in the house.
To be blunt, the Queen is more concerned about the population of Feng Mansion than Mrs. Right.
For the queen, her own sister is of course important.
But that is not as important as his own son—the right lady’s jumping is also because of her own son.
The former emperor had a prime minister, and the emperor had Feng Mingwen.
But...what about the prince's future assistants?
It is a mystery how much knowledge Feng Mingwen has in his belly.
From the time he left the mountain at the age of sixteen, he has driven out the Wei thieves and regained the old capital. He has managed the army, the people, the economy, and the temple affairs.
Even the Qiang and Hu tribes in Liangzhou, which had been causing trouble for hundreds of years and left the later Han Dynasty helpless, fell into his hands.
This is enough to show that the skills he learned from his master are far from being as simple as he said.
The art of Yi Ya?
Whose art of Yi Ya is so powerful?
?
One or two is not too much, three or four is good, five or six is good...
That’s right, it doesn’t matter if it’s a child or not, it doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl.
Anyway, the women from the Feng Mansion are also very powerful.
Of course, if her sister could have more children with Feng Mingwen, she would be more than happy to see it happen.
The queen was unable to give birth to a child when she was in Jincheng. It was only when she arrived in Hanzhong, the land of Longxing, that she gave birth to the prince.
After giving birth to the prince, the Han Dynasty continued to achieve great successes and was expected to recover. Therefore, in this regard, the Queen of the Han Dynasty had some superstitions:
Weiyang Palace was built by Emperor Gao. If Feng Mingwen really allowed his sister to conceive a child in Weiyang Palace this time, it would be God's arrangement.
Perhaps this child can help the Han Dynasty restore its prosperity to the former Han Dynasty in the future.
It was with some ulterior motives that the queen this time treated the two people's uncontrollable behavior in the palace with dignity and ease.
On the other hand, if it was not God's arrangement, if they dare to do it again in the future, don't blame her for being rude.
How does Mrs. Right know what her sister is thinking?
When she heard what her sister said, she was really upset for her own child:
"Alang once said that it would be good for the children in the family to learn three points of his knowledge. Because there are many things that cannot be done outside, and he has only seen them in his master's school."
“If you don’t see it with your own eyes, hear it with your own ears, and experience it yourself, there is no way to understand the knowledge involved.”
“So, sister, you said it’s impossible for A Mo to finish his studies!”
“Even Amei, who has made so many things, can’t fully understand the science of studying things that Alang taught her.”
Hearing Madam Right’s words, the queen was furious and stabbed her head directly with her finger:
“You know you can’t finish learning, so why don’t you hurry up and have more children with him! If you have more children, you can learn one more point.”
The Queen of the Han Dynasty was planning the future for the Prince of the Han Dynasty in the palace, but the Prince of Wu, Sun Deng, who was thousands of miles away, fell into grief and worry.
It turns out that the Xu family of Wu County sent someone to deliver news that Mrs. Xu was seriously ill.
Mrs. Xu was Sun Quan’s second wife.
She was first married to Lu Shang of the Lu family in Wu County. Lu Shang died young and the Xu family had no children, so they returned to the Xu family to live alone.
Later, Sun Quan’s first wife Xie died early, so Sun Quan, who was a general against the captives at the time, hired Xu as his wife and gave Sun Deng to her to raise.
The Xu family had no children, so they naturally loved Sun Deng who was still very young.
Who would have expected that a few years later, Sun Quan felt that Xu was sexually jealous, so he sent her back to Wu County to live with Xu's family.
In contrast, the concubine Bushi (Bu Shi) was favored by Sun Quan because of her beauty, docile character and non-jealous character.
This kind of thing, if it were placed in an ordinary family, it would be regarded as a fight for favor between wives and concubines.
But when it comes to the emperor's family, especially when the prince is involved, it's different.
After Sun Quan became emperor, he wanted to make Sun Deng the crown prince, but Sun Deng declined:
"If you want to establish a prince, you must first establish a queen. This means that you must first establish the foundation before you can do justice."
Sun Quan asked, “Where is your mother?”
His original intention was to let Sun Deng recognize Bu as his mother.
Unexpectedly, Sun Deng replied: "My mother is in Wu County."
Sun Quan was speechless when he heard this.
After all, Sun Deng's move was an act of filial piety, so Sun Quan could not rebuke him, but Sun Quan did not want to make Xu his queen, so he remained silent.
However, although Sun Deng insisted on making the queen first, Sun Quan finally made him the prince first.
The position of queen was left vacant because the prince and ministers wanted to belong to the Xu family, and Sun Quan wanted to establish the Bu family. The two sides were in a stalemate.
Over the years, although Bu was actually a queen, and everyone in the inner palace called her queen, she has never been recognized by the prince and the ministers of the court.
That is to say, she has a good personality and is not angry because of it. She often sends people to bring clothes to the prince.
After Sun Deng received the clothes as a reward from the Bu family, he often just accepted them and never wore them once.
On the contrary, whenever Mrs. Xu of Wu County sent someone to bring him clothes as his adoptive mother, he would put them on after taking a bath.
It can be seen from this that Sun Deng indeed regarded Xu as his own mother.
Now that he got the news that Xu was seriously ill, how could he not be anxious?
While he immediately sent someone to visit him, he also went to seek help from Sun Quan, crying and saying:
“The child was nurtured by his mother in his early years, but it is a great unfilial piety that he has not been able to take care of her over the years.”
“Now I heard that my mother is seriously ill, her internal organs are shattered, and she is in a state of panic. I beg your majesty to allow me to go and serve my mother with decoction and medicine, as a sign of filial piety.”
Although Sun Quan didn't like the Xu family, he was very satisfied with his son, who was quite famous.
Hearing the prince’s request at this time, instead of embarrassing him, he said:
"Filial piety is the most important thing. Since I am the emperor, how can I prevent my children from fulfilling their filial piety? I will send the palace doctor to accompany you."
Sun Deng heard this and quickly thanked him.
