At the same time, in the study room of the main courtyard of the Chu Mansion, the old master Chu held two letters in his hands. One was from Chu Zeming who was on his way to Liuzhou Prefecture, and the other was from Doctor Wang of Liuzhou Prefecture.
After flipping through the two letters in his hands for several rounds, the old master Chu finally put the letter from Doctor Wang aside and opened the letter from Chu Zeming.
Chu Zeming is his grandson. The letter can be public or private, so it is understandable that he is the first to open it. However, the place where Doctor Wang is is more sensitive. Although the Wang, Feng, Situ and Chu families are all family members, there are still some taboos that should be avoided.
But when he finished reading the letter, his expression suddenly changed. At this time, the head of the Chu family just stepped into the study, and seeing his father's solemn expression, he hurriedly asked: "Father, I heard that Ming'er wrote to me, but what happened to him?"
Only then did old Patriarch Chu come back to his senses, glanced at his son, and sighed secretly. Not having many offspring is a worry, but encountering younger generations who like to compete for fame and fortune is also disturbing.
According to their speculation, the current emperor is indeed the legitimate successor of Haoyue. There has been no warning of a change of ownership of Haoyue within a hundred years. According to the hexagram, Haoyue will become more powerful and the national strength will prosper.
Because of this, even though the emperor was almost thirty years old and had no prince yet, the four old guys were a little anxious, but they were still calm. They were not in a hurry to let the queen return to the palace, nor did they advocate choosing concubines for the emperor and expanding the harem.
Smart people should know that it is best to keep calm and use calmness to overcome dynamics. However, looking at what the Second Prince and the Third Prince have done recently, it is obvious that neither of them is smart. They keep making small moves, do they really think that the four great families are blind?
"It's nothing serious, just some jumping clowns. By the way, how is your wife these days?" He asked while handing the letter in his hand to the head of the Chu family.
"She seems to be in good spirits. Madam Feng and Madam Situ come to accompany her from time to time. Her morning sickness is not serious." The head of the Chu family opened the letter handed to him by his father and began to read it quickly.
Then he couldn't help showing a surprised look, and asked curiously: "Dad, I am beginning to doubt whether the two princes really grew up in the clan? Are you sure they were not switched or poisoned?"
Patriarch Chu glared at his son when he heard this, but he couldn't help laughing. All the children who grew up in the four major families have experienced this. Whether it is education from childhood to adulthood, or the joint tests of the four major families from time to time, all the legitimate children within three generations cannot escape.
Only after the child is confirmed at the age of eight will he be trained according to his personality, hobbies, etc. For example, after Situ Yidong was eight years old, he was allowed to develop freely after it was confirmed that his elder brother within three generations was more suitable to take over the position of head of the family.
And to this day, apart from the eldest princess who lives far away in Liuzhou Prefecture, which children of the two princes have been treated differently and trained with emphasis? Isn't this already an obvious answer?
Do they want to turn the tables by relying on Madam Yan's or Miss Zhou's belly? For thousands of years, which eye of theirs saw that the choice of the master of the house came from the belly of a concubine?
"Alas, what is the emperor thinking? Just let them do whatever they want?" asked the head of the Chu family with a little confusion.
The old head of the Chu family glared at his son once again and wanted to scold him for not knowing the consequences of his words, but then he remembered that the Chu family had only one son since he was born, and there were no concubines, illegitimate sons or daughters, so it was normal for the head of the Chu family to have such doubts.
In addition, he will be a father in a few months. Although Chu Zeming has shown the unique talent of the Chu family since he was a child, he is the best candidate for the next head of the family. However, there are always accidents. In order to prevent his son from getting confused at that time, it is better to teach him a lesson as soon as possible.
"The years when the Second and Third Princes were born were a time of great tension. Most of the able-bodied men in the tribe went out to fight the enemy. The only ones left behind were the wounded, children, and women. Moreover, the entire tribe focused on fighting, and neglected everything else."
Patriarch Chu looked at his son and patiently explained, "Later, when the world was settled, the two princes had grown up and their personalities were set and difficult to change. The Emperor, the late Empress, and the Emperor all felt guilty about the two princes, thinking that they grew up like this entirely because of their negligence, which further encouraged their courage."
“So, we’re just going to let them go on like this?” The head of the Chu family felt even more unbelievable after hearing this.
"Alas," Patriarch Chu sighed deeply and ended the topic. Although their four major families are closely related, there are some things that should be done to a certain extent and one should not extend one's hands too far.
Turning his head to look at another letter on the table, he said, "Send someone to the palace, the Feng family, and the Situ family to report it. See if they are free after the court session tomorrow. Say that Dr. Wang from Liuzhou Prefecture has received a letter. Also, we need to inform everyone about what Ming'er said in the letter."
After the morning court session, the eight leaders from the four major families gathered in the imperial study.
"This is a letter written by Doctor Wang of Liuzhou Prefecture. This one was written by Ming'er, but the content above concerns the Third Prince, so I brought them here as well for you to see." The old Patriarch Chu took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Wang Huang.
Wang Huang first opened the letter written by Chu Zeming. After reading it, his expression changed slightly. After thinking for a while, he handed it to the old head of the Feng family who was sitting next to him.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Wang Huang checked the letters in his hand as usual and then opened the second letter.
After careful consideration, Meixiang decided to let Doctor Wang write the letter. Firstly, he was the doctor of the Imperial Hospital, and this matter was within his scope of responsibility. Secondly, only after he polished the letter could others understand it and deepen their understanding.
She was afraid that she would come up with some modern terms when writing. It would be a small matter if others did not understand them, but she would have to take the trouble to explain them. The more she explained, the more unclear it became, which would be really troublesome.
In the letter, Doctor Wang attached a prescription and explained the origin, function, and formulation principle of the prescription. He also gave a detailed explanation of Meixiang's best time to get pregnant and how to effectively maintain the pregnancy. Finally, he suggested that the matter be led by the Imperial Hospital in the palace.
"The Imperial Medical Bureau takes the lead? Why doesn't the eldest princess take it out in her own name, or open a hall of fame in the capital?" Old Patriarch Chu was the first to raise this question.
Meixiang spent so much effort to come up with the prescription, and it had been verified by the Liuzhou government. With the advertising effect of Mrs. Chu in the capital, it was an opportunity to gain both fame and fortune. I really don't understand why Meixiang would give up such a good opportunity.
The others were also puzzled when they heard this. Only the old master Situ and his son had some understanding of this issue. In the past, they always heard Situ Yidong say that the eldest princess was indifferent to fame and fortune, did not like to be bound, and longed for a free life outside. They were more or less unconvinced in their hearts, but now they believed it completely.
At the same time, he also had new considerations about Situ Yidong's choice. Although he was happy to see the relationship between him and Princess Xiang, if he really gave up everything in the Situ family and followed her around the world, then should he make some preparations in advance for the personnel and affairs of the Situ family?
“Princess Xiang’s dream has never been to live in this capital. She longs for a free life. Her greatest wish is to travel to every corner of Haoyue and see all this beautiful land. I always didn’t quite believe it before, but now I completely believe it.” The old patriarch Situ looked at everyone in the room and said in a deep voice.
Huh? Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this. Even the Emperor Wang came back to his senses from the Third Prince's matter and stared at the old Patriarch Situ.
In the three generations of direct descendants of the Wang family, except for Meixiang who has shown amazing abilities after going through hardships, the other grandchildren are mediocre. Moreover, the imperial physician has told him that it will be extremely difficult for the second and third princesses to conceive in the future.
The Chu family father and son also hinted that he didn't need to worry about the heir, and that Haoyue would not change hands and would gradually prosper in the hands of the next generation. He and the emperor had speculated more than once whether that person was the eldest princess whom they had never met.
Now it seems that it is not the one, so who could it be? Thinking of this, Wang Huang and his son looked at each other at the same time.
