Spring Forest Evening

When Zhou Heng heard Shen Fu's words, he was thinking about why he suddenly changed the subject, and he immediately reacted:

That's right, making preparations doesn't mean relying on oneself, the Empress Empress who came here may also be able to help make some preparations.Then bear the brunt of it, you have to ask the real reason why the other party came to the door.

The other two also thought the same way, Uncle He nodded and smiled when he heard this, and then imitated Shen Yi's tone and said:

"Those who know me, Ah Fu!"

Shen Yi, who was next to me, burst out laughing after hearing this:

"Don't be tricky, Uncle He, tell me quickly!"

"Ahem!" Uncle He pretentiously cleared his throat, and then continued to talk about the situation in the palace: "It may be that the first question I asked was not answered, so the second question, the empress did answer well. It’s very happy, saying that it’s nothing more than pity for each other, hehe, at first hearing these four words, I don’t know how pitiful we are! Actually, after hearing it, I think the real meaning is that each takes what he needs!”

Speaking of this, He Shuhu's expression froze, and he looked at Zhou Heng with relief and said:

"Now that I think about it, what the empress said is somewhat similar to what Ah Heng said just now. She meant that although Prince Jing's mansion is the prince's mansion, after all, the surname is Shen, not Chen. If there is anything wrong, there will be no patriarchal mansion." Those old fellows came out to cover the truth or act as peacemakers, not to mention that the former emperor at that time, although he wished to be like a brother to the old Prince Jing, he did not readily agree to the most important matter of the succession of the title, so even now, A Fu, your position as Prince was only conferred by the emperor as a kindness after a lot of painstaking efforts after your father's accident at that time."

Having said that, he glanced at Shen Yi again, and said something pointedly:

"To tell you the truth, your father's bones were not cold at that time, and the most important thing is to find out the truth of the matter, but in my heart, I think more about the title of Ah Fu, and I am afraid that the emperor will find an excuse not to agree. The world Everyone thinks that Prince Jing’s Mansion is the only one in this dynasty with a different surname, but who knows, whether the prince is a prince or not, it’s actually up to the emperor to open his mouth to decide.”

"Of course, there are many ministers in the court who see this clearly, but behind Prince Jing's mansion, there is the Jingguo Army after all. This is what your grandfather protected for your descendants in front of the court when the emperor was in full swing. It is said that the Shen family has been guarding the frontier for generations, and the Jingguo army is still firmly in the hands of Prince Jing's Mansion all these years. Everyone does not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, and dare not underestimate the Prince Jing's Mansion."

"It's the same with the imperial court. Before, there was a move to put a deputy general in the army, but the iron army brought out by the old Prince Jing couldn't get in at all, and it ended up being nothing. Because of this, when your father suddenly disappeared Well, the emperor was also afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the Yasukuni Army or even other more serious consequences, so he allowed Ah Fu to inherit the prince so that he could come forward to appease him."

These words made Zhou Heng extremely shocked at first: so the title of Prince Jing's mansion is not hereditary?What about Shen Fu's son after that?

Forget it, I don't know who his future son will be born with... Zhou Heng instinctively doesn't want to think about who Shen Fu's son's mother is, but quickly thinks about another thing that is finally clear now:

No wonder the third princess and the second prince collude with each other and boldly attacked Prince Jing's mansion. Whether she, as Miss Zhou, was thrown into the water in broad daylight, or Prince Jing's mansion was burnt down in two places on a thunderstorm night, the emperor, as the biggest boss, might not know love, but most likely chose to let it go.

Anyway, if Ah Fu really waded into their muddy water in the end, it would only be cheaper for the emperor in the end, let him find a chance to attack Prince Jing's mansion, right?

In an instant, Zhou Heng realized with great relief that just because he had escaped from the willow lake water once he crossed over, whether it was the three princesses or the emperor, their original wishful thinking had failed in a short period of time anyway. Then hit!

As for the future, didn't Ah Fu say that he had to make preparations?What's more, the queen empress has also joined now, according to Uncle He:

"After all, the Empress is the daughter of the Grand Tutor, and she has more insight than many insightful people. Therefore, she should have noticed the crisis in Prince Jing's Mansion these years, and many of her ideas have been carefully considered."

"When I asked this question, the empress said that she was in the same boat. Of course, we all know her situation now, so to put it bluntly, she wants to communicate with us and get what we need. How can we get what we need? Well, the empress made it very clear afterwards, saying that if the emperor made the eldest prince the crown prince because of his meritorious service in saving him, then let alone the future, the position of the Changchun Palace would soon become awkward. After all, a No child in the palace, a noble concubine whose mother depends on the child, everyone is snobbish, not to mention how the two empress dowagers will fight against each other in the future."

"You also know that the empress had a son before, and that was the real eldest son. Let's not guess what's hidden in it, but whether it's the noble concubine or the second prince's mother concubine Shu, these two people, don't hide it. You guys are all called 'sluts' by the empress, and you all feel hatred. You must not want to be equal to them in the future. Even the third prince's mother concubine, Concubine Hui, the empress is quite dissatisfied with her Hi, anyway, there are conflicts in the deep palace, you don't need to think about it, it has been like this throughout the ages!"

"Then she still wants to be the empress dowager?" Zhou Heng was actually not sure how many sons the emperor had, but he felt inappropriate if he asked directly. Replacement, as the daughter of an official family, it is impossible for her not to know this common sense.

After asking this question, Zhou Heng took a special look at Shen Fu, hoping that he could understand what he said, and it turned out that he really lived up to her expectations. Shen Fu glanced back at her, and asked Uncle He:

"According to this, the empress has taken a fancy to the fourth prince who is about the same age as Ah Hua? Also, the fourth prince is not yet sensible, and his mother and concubine Liang's status is low, so it's best to be careful."

"It should be so," Uncle He nodded and sighed, "The Empress has endured for many years, of course it was not to give up the Changchun Palace to others for nothing, and now that she has found us, she still wants to stay in the Compassionate Palace in the future. "

Hearing this, Zhou Heng couldn't help but nodded slightly to Shen Fu, implying that he had understood it. To put it bluntly, Queen Jiang, who had no son, wanted to support the weakest prince to ascend to the throne. Win over Prince Jing's Mansion, which holds military power.

Of course, even if you take the initiative to ask Uncle He to propose cooperation, you still need to show your sincerity, so Empress Jiang reminded Wan Qingyuan and the eldest prince of the rescue.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng couldn't help but think of Empress Jiang's natal family, especially the Jiang Taifu who should be very powerful. I don't know if this Taifu has retired now, but compared to the common sense of several princes, Zhou Heng feels that he A woman in the boudoir didn't know that the situation in the DPRK and China and the specific officials should still be reasonable, so she looked at Shen Fu again and sighed:

"The Queen's mother's family, the Jiang family, don't know what preparations they have made now?"
