Xia Zhiliao almost gritted her teeth. How old was she? Even if people in ancient times married early, they would not talk about marriage so early.

"Empress Liang, she is still a child." Wen Heng said.

There was a flash of displeasure in Concubine Liang's eyes, but she knew that Wen Heng had the support of the Queen Mother, and she couldn't say anything in front of the Queen Mother.

"It has to be Heng'er. He has a good relationship with Zhiliao and they can be considered to share weal and woe. Unlike my Chao'er, Zhiliao won't even get close to him. The same goes for you. In the future, learn from Brother Heng how to take care of your sister Zhiliao."

Wen Chao curled his lips, "Do I need to learn this? Besides, mother, you probably don't know how she needs someone to take care of her?"

Concubine Liang glared at Wen Chao, "Zhiliao is so young, you brothers should take care of him, but you don't understand, that's why Zhiliao doesn't like you."

"Okay, okay, people are different. Some are more reserved and thoughtful, while others are more careless. Anyway, Zhiliao is your sister, so it's only right that you take care of her."

Concubine Liang originally wanted to test the Empress Dowager's intentions. After all, Wen Heng and Xia Zhiliao had a good relationship, and the Empress Dowager knew about this, and she liked Wen Heng.

But even after she had said that, the Queen Mother still didn't respond. I'm afraid she didn't intend to make this happen.

She was overjoyed. That was right. Although Wen Heng was a prince, his mother was of low status and could not be compared with Wen Chao.

Although the marriage was not arranged directly, she knew it was not easy, but she finally knew the Queen Mother's intention, and Concubine Liang was already satisfied.

She was pregnant and couldn't sit for long, so she left first. However, before leaving, she reminded Xia Zhiliao to visit her before leaving the palace.

Although Concubine Liang left, she kept Wen Chao behind, wanting to give him more opportunities to interact with Xia Zhiliao.

However, Wen Chao didn't know what his mother was thinking at this time.

The three young ones accompanied the empress dowager for dinner. Before it got too dark, the empress dowager ordered Wen Heng to send the people back.

"Let's go get something from my mother first." Wen Chao reminded.

Xia Zhiliao wanted to refuse, but it seemed that even if she wanted to refuse the reward, she had to show up in person. If she didn't go, it would be disrespecting Concubine Liang, which was a bit bad.

She looked at Wen Heng.

Wen Heng knew that she couldn't make up her mind, "Go ahead."

When Concubine Liang learned that the Queen Mother had asked Wen Heng to send Xia Zhiliao back, she glared at her son and said, "You go too."

"If Wen Heng is there, what else should I do?"

Concubine Liang gritted her teeth in anger. Is this her son?

Why are you so stupid?

"Go if you are told to go."

Wen Chao was a filial man, so he followed obediently.

Among the three people, except Wen Chao himself, the other two knew what Concubine Liang was thinking. Only he was still complaining foolishly, "My mother is really something. The Empress Dowager asked you to send her off, but she still insisted that I come along as well."

Wen Heng smiled in a very unkind way. If Concubine Liang knew he was like this, she wouldn't know what expression she would have.

After Wen Chao returned to the palace, he was called over by Concubine Liang.

Although he was not yet an adult and could not leave the palace to set up his own residence, he did not live with Concubine Liang.

All the princes left their mothers. This was the rule.

"Mother, it's so late, aren't you going to sleep?"

Concubine Liang felt like she was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. "Why are you sleeping? You're making me die of anger."

Wen Chao was a little confused, "How did I make you angry?"

"Alas," Concubine Liang sighed, looking at her slightly bulging belly, "I hope your sister is smart."

"Sister? Do I have a sister too? Mother, is the baby in your belly really a sister?"

Concubine Liang nodded, "Yes, but don't make it public for now."

Wen Chao nodded, "That's great, I have a sister too, she must be cuter than Zhiliao."

"See, you're thinking about Zhiliao too, right?"

"Me? I didn't." Wen Chao said insincerely.

Concubine Liang glared at him and said, "Xia Zhiliao is a smart girl. In a few years, or even in a few years, there will be many families forcing her to get engaged."

"Oh!"

"Oh what?" Concubine Liang said angrily, "Don't you have any ideas?"

"what?"

"Alas, Xia Zhiliao is smart, capable, and loved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. In addition, her grandmother is Princess Yiyang. Based on this alone, she is qualified to become the Queen."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Nonsense, if you marry her, won't you be the emperor?"

"I..." Wen Chao got off the chair in surprise, "Mother, do you want me to compete for the position of Crown Prince?"

"Finally you've come to your senses. What else could you do?" Concubine Liang said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to be inferior to others for the rest of your life?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"It's no use thinking too early. You've seen what happened to the previous crown prince. Now that the crown prince's position is vacant, it's the best time."

"In short, Xia Zhiliao may not be the key, but the power behind her will help you." Liang Fei said seriously, "Besides, this child is different from other girls. A bunch of rich girls pale in front of her. She is still young now. In a few years, there will be more people who want to marry her."

"What you said before about taking good care of her, is that because you want me to marry her mother?"

"I finally got it. That's what I mean."

"Even if you can't win the throne, Xia Zhiliao is a talisman. If you can win her favor, Princess Yiyang will definitely stand on your side."

Concubine Liang's eyes flashed, "And General Wei, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command."

Wen Chao bit his lip and fell into long, deep thought.

"Chao'er, mother doesn't care whether you want to fight or not, you have to fight. This is your mission in the royal family."

She had tried to win the title, but unfortunately she never won and could never sit on the throne, so she was full of hope for her son.

"While Xia Zhiliao is still young, Wen Heng is no match for you. The emperor doesn't like him. Even with the support of the empress dowager, Wen Heng will die sooner or later."

"Why did he die?" Wen Chao looked at him puzzledly, "Mother, Wen Chao is actually quite pitiful. He didn't do anything wrong."

"It's wrong. He shouldn't have come into this world. The emperor says it's right and it's wrong. The emperor says it's wrong and it's wrong. Wen Chao, don't you understand?"

Wen Chao wanted to say something. Although his father did not necessarily favor him much, he really got a lot compared to what Wen Heng got.

He also has a mother who loves him.

At least before that, he had no worries.

"mother concubine"

"Wen Chao, acting on emotion is a big taboo." Concubine Liang warned in a cold voice.

Wen Chao sighed deeply, "Mother, what would happen if I didn't fight?"

Concubine Liang was startled, then whispered, "How could I give birth to a son like you who has no ambition?"

Wen Chao, he felt that everything was fine now, and the brothers got along quite well with each other, so why should they fight to the point of bloodshed?
