"Taking sides, haha, it's really a headache." Wang Xifeng was very happy to see this kind of situation that was quite difficult for others, and chuckled thoughtfully, "But it has nothing to do with us. It doesn't matter that we just sit back and watch what happens, I really want to see some lively scenes after being idle for a long time."
Hongyu touches her forehead and covers her face. This grandma is really worried that the world will not be in chaos.
Seeing Hongyu’s grimace, Wang Xifeng became more and more proud and excited.
The growth of age has not changed her temperament of making trouble at all, and she even has the desire to find something to do when she is bored.
"Hongyu, what are you afraid of? Can the fire still burn us? If they have too much time to take care of themselves, can they make other enemies? Baochai and Daiyu are both smart people, and the Shen family is even more difficult, so let's rest easy You can watch the show."
"What about the elder girl and Miss Qin?" Hongyu asked worriedly: "They are so proactive in coming to see grandma now. Do they have ulterior motives or are they being entrusted by others?"
"It's possible that Yuanchun is not clear-headed, but Qin Keqing is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he shouldn't be so stupid." Wang Xifeng shook his head, "It doesn't matter, the soldiers are just coming to cover up the water and the earth. Let's go and see him."
…
"Sister Feng went to see the eldest sister?" Daiyu frowned and handed the maple dew tea in her hand to Xue Yan, "I haven't been to Beijing for a few years, and that kid Zhi Feng is here to walk around. She came to the capital at this time, is it my eldest sister who made an appointment to meet her? "
"I don't know about this. Those who came to Beijing yesterday seem to have gone to the Xinda Guanlou to watch the theater today. Well, it seems that Qin Keqing and Sister-in-law Zhu also went." Zijuan stood up with Daiyu and helped Daiyu. He held his arms and walked out together, "My wife is going out. The weather is a little cold and windy. Snow geese, you'd better bring a belt."
Daiyu rolled her eyes at Zicuckoo and said with a pout, "How can she be so delicate? I haven't been here for so many years, and my body is much better than when I was a girl."
Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled, "That's right, when the empress was a girl, she was very thin and tight, but after giving birth to King Qi and Prince Lu, things got much better. Fortunately, the emperor always asked the empress to keep exercising, kicking shuttlecocks, and throwing pots. Gymnastics, skipping rope,…”
Daiyu gave birth to two sons and one daughter. They were named King Qi and King Lu, both princes. King Qi was three years older than King Lu. There was also Princess Wuyou, who was the most favored by the emperor.
Hearing what Zijuan said, Daiyu was also in a daze. Almost thirty years had passed in a flash, and she was about to turn fifty. The days passed by so fast.
Now that the three children are all grown up, even the youngest daughter is already engaged and is waiting for marriage.
"My dear, my dear,... what's wrong with you?" Seeing Daiyu walking to the threshold, Zijuan suddenly stood still, a little distracted, and asked quickly: "Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, I just got distracted. Well, I remembered some things." Daiyu calmed down, "Where is the child Zhibai? He hasn't been in the palace for a long time. What are you busy doing during this time?"
The Zhibai in Daiyu's mouth is the son of Zicuckoo.
Speaking of his son, Zijuan's eyes were also full of smiles, "Zhibai went to Shanhaiguan with King Lu a few days ago. He said that he was going to walk along Shanhaiguan to Juyongguan, which was regarded as a field march and self-training..."
Daiyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then I have to tell them to be extremely careful and safe. At this time..." Zijuan understood that Daiyu was worried, glanced at no one around, and then whispered: "It's okay, King Lu. No one will act rashly like King Qi, and I heard from Dehai that Privy Envoy Cao also greeted the troops stationed along the line."
The Privy Envoy of Cao was naturally not Cao Wenzhao, who died of illness ten years ago, but his nephew Cao Bianjiao.
The King of Qi is the eldest son of Daiyu and a strong competitor for the crown prince, while the King of Lu is the second son. He has never been fond of government affairs and is more obsessed with traveling. This is known to everyone.
Daiyu’s second son, King Lu, and King Yi, the son of Zijuan, have always had a very close relationship. The two have been playmates since childhood. They studied together, grew up together, and have similar hobbies.
Yi Wang likes surveying and mapping, so he likes to wander along the border the most. However, now the Yanchang City line is no longer the border, so the two of them can be considered half-tourists and half-workers.
The atmosphere in the palace and court has been somewhat tense this year.
As the emperor’s thirty-year reign is approaching, many people’s minds are a little uncertain.
When she came to the throne, Feng Ziying once said half-jokingly that although she was in good health and did not agree with establishing a crown prince early, if she had not been sick for thirty years after taking the throne, she would still consider establishing a crown prince. If her health was not good, she would be crown prince as soon as possible. Zen is also a good choice.
This was heard by many people in the palace and many ministers in the court at that time, including the current Chief Assistant Lian Guoshi and Ge Lao Wang Wenyan.
Although the emperor never mentioned this matter later and never established a prince, these words were still remembered by many people.
Now I can see that the emperor is getting older, and each of the princes has changed from a boy to a young man, and even entered their prime.
As long as they were interested in managing politics, they were assigned by Feng Ziying to go to various ministries and even localities to learn and assist officials in handling affairs.
But there is one thing Feng Ziying also specifically warned, that is, these princes are absolutely not allowed to directly interfere in government affairs, but can only participate and make suggestions to officials. Whether to adopt them or not is decided by the officials.
Moreover, Feng Ziying also repeatedly greeted the officials. They could accept, deny, or ignore the princes' suggestions, but no matter what the outcome was, the officials themselves were responsible and had nothing to do with the princes. Feng Ziying only took these situations into her own account. The inspection of princes has nothing to do with the performance of officials.
In a word, officials can neither benefit from it nor take the blame for anyone.
Daiyu nodded slowly and suddenly said: "I don't like this situation now. It makes everyone feel depressed and nervous. I think the same is true for Sister Shen and Sister Bao."
Zijuan sighed softly, "Empress, they say that a child has no control over his mother. When some things have reached this point, no one can change them if they want to. Even you, Empress Shen and Miss Bao can't decide. , even the emperor is probably in a dilemma, the palms and backs of his hands are all flesh, they are all of his blood, they are all excellent, who can take the initiative to give in, how to choose?"
Zijuan's words made Daiyu break her guard. She gasped slightly and subconsciously pressed her heart. After a long time, she said: "Is this really the only way to go? What should I do?" (End of this chapter)
