When I was fleeing famine with supplies, I was caught by a rough man and gave birth to three childre

"Old Mrs. Yang is so complimentary!" Mother Tang humbly took Lin Zao and saluted Mrs. Yang together.

Lin Zao vaguely felt that Mrs. Yang seemed a little cold to her, and the doubts in her heart disappeared in a flash.

After seeing the two parties greeting each other, Princess Cheng helped Tang Mu sit down. The maid waiting at the table immediately came forward to clean Tang Mu Lin Zao's hands and serve tea.

Seeing that Lin Zao and the others were not uncomfortable, Princess Cheng sat back down next to Mrs. Yang with peace of mind and continued chatting with everyone.

From the conversations between the ladies, combined with the analysis of various news Lin Zao heard in the market, Lin Zao knew that Mrs. Yang was the wife of Duke Yang Guo.

Yang Guogong had made great contributions when he was the former emperor, and he was named Yang Guogong directly with the surname Yang. He was very favored for a while, but it gradually subsided after the current emperor ascended the throne.

Yang Guogong's ancestral home is in Qianzhou. It is said that Mrs. Yang brought her grandchildren back to worship her ancestors a few months ago, so she appeared here this time.

Although the ladies present didn't say much, Lin Zao sensitively analyzed from everyone's attitudes and words that Mrs. Yang, the old lady, was not simply coming back to worship her ancestors this time.

The current emperor is incompetent, arrogant and lewd. He has given birth to a total of 9 princes and 6 princesses, but has not yet established a prince.

The first five princes were all married, and all of them were young and powerful. The emperor was quite afraid of them. Except for the favored third prince, who still stayed in Kyoto, the remaining princes were given fiefdoms and sent away by the emperor.

The remaining four princes are still young and pose no threat.

King Cheng Wei Qi is the fifth son of the emperor. Unlike the other princes, King Cheng is not very popular with the emperor, so when he first granted the land, he gave it to the northernmost Qianzhou. The climate in Qianzhou is harsh, and it is common for people to freeze to death in winter, and Located on the border, it is often invaded by foreign enemies.

When he gave King Cheng this fiefdom, he had given up on his son.

Who would have thought that in just a few years, King Cheng managed Qianzhou in an orderly manner. The enemies on the border were beaten and retreated for repairs, and all the robbers in Qianzhou were wiped out.

Not to mention that everyone can have enough food and clothing, at least no one will starve to death. When refugees from other places come to Qianzhou to settle down, Prince Cheng will also give alms. Therefore, Prince Cheng's reputation for loving his people like his own son spread far and wide.

Unlike other places where people starve to death due to natural disasters, refugees can be seen everywhere.

As King Cheng's reputation grew, undercurrents began to surge throughout the court, and he saw that the emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and his temper was becoming more and more unpredictable.

All the officials also began to have their own little ideas. They all wanted to earn a share of the merits of the dragon, and secretly began to contact the princes.

Obviously, Yang Guogong was more optimistic about King Cheng, so he used the excuse of worshiping his ancestors to ask his old wife to bring her grandchildren to Qianzhou to show her favor to King Cheng.

After figuring out the key points, Lin Zao frowned a little. Before, she had never thought that who would become the emperor would be related to her, but now their family was obviously deeply involved.

As General Anbei, Tang Jian also saved the life of King Cheng and was one of King Cheng's confidants. She also saved King Cheng's crown prince and started a seasoning business with the princess. She could not let go of the relationship no matter what. If King Cheng fell in the future, If it doesn't go well, there won't be any good results for their family.

An instant sense of urgency hit Lin Zao's heart. Their family was now a royal party, and everyone on the same boat had to make plans for the future.

Lin Zao, who had made up his mind, slowly withdrew his attention and continued to listen to them chatting about home affairs.
