It's bad! The cub raised in the space met the prince and called him daddy

Shen Wendong looked up at his mother and younger sister's puzzled expressions and interrupted,

"Mom, I guess it must be like the word my boss said, called something like gilding... Yes, it's gilding, and it won't stay long."

Uncle Shen raised his eyelids and said nothing. He was about to pick up the pipe beside him and take a few puffs.

He suddenly remembered that Fang Qingge couldn't stand the pungent smell of smoke. He coughed twice and then awkwardly withdrew his hand quietly.

His series of small actions did not escape the eyes of the aunt and Fang Qingge, and the two of them smiled secretly with their lips pursed.

*

"Boss, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now."

Uncle Shen then looked up at the pairs of eyes eager for answers, and said with a mysterious smile:

"Let's talk behind closed doors as a family. Don't let anyone know. It will be used against us."

After saying that, he made a knife-like gesture at his neck.

Aunt Yu, Qingge, Shen Wendong and Shen Wenzhi were surprised and became even more curious, and nodded quickly.

*

Uncle Shen then lowered his voice and spoke.

"I heard from your uncle that the news was muttered by a yamen runner who came from the capital when he was drunk at the wine table.

Now the emperor is not at peace. Although the war in our northern border has ended, there are quarrels in the court every day.

What are you arguing about? It's about changing the crown prince!"

"What? Change the crown prince? Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just come back from performing a great deed?"

Aunt Yu interrupted Uncle Shen and was so anxious that she almost jumped up.

*

Uncle Shen quickly made a calming gesture to Aunt Yu and continued:

"The current crown prince has been married for three years but has no children. The East Palace is deserted and there is not a single child.

The Second Prince, who is one year younger than the Crown Prince, already has three concubines and daughters, and I heard that his wife is about to give birth to a legitimate son."

Uncle Shen paused here, picked up the tea bowl at hand, and Shen Wenzhi tactfully added hot tea to it, and Uncle Shen took a sip.

It was the first time that the people in the room heard the secrets coming out of the palace far away. Their eyes widened and they pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

*

Uncle Shen took two more sips and said something like,

"The Second Prince's family is very prosperous! He has one legitimate son and three illegitimate children. Who is the Second Prince? He is Concubine Xiao's biological son. At his age, he has quite a few children.

You know, this Concubine Xiao is the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Xiao. It is this faction that is holding on to the fact that there is no heir, fighting openly and secretly to pull down the crown prince!"

"Master, they want the Second Prince to be the Crown Prince? Then the Emperor won't do anything about it?"

"Yes, Dad, this goes against our ancestral precept of establishing the eldest son as the heir!"

"Huh? Manage? How? The fact that the prince has no offspring is a fatal flaw. Even if he ascends the throne in the future, he will have to adopt a son.

You think the Second Prince, who has so many biological sons and is not bad in ability, will be convinced? The Emperor doesn't know what he is thinking! "

"Well, this situation is not easy to break."

Shen Wenzhi frowned and spoke.

Fang Qingge pricked up his ears to listen, his heart already sinking to the bottom.

*

Aunt Yu, who was not very sensitive to politics, felt that they had gone too far and said in confusion:

"Then, sir, what does this have to do with our new county magistrate?"

"You old woman don't understand this, do you? This is called what? Yes, political struggle.

After Prime Minister Xiao and his group became unwilling to accept this, they decided to take action to bring down the Crown Prince!

They began to place their own people in various places in the court, no matter where they were, rich or poor, far or near. No matter the size of the official position, as long as there was a vacancy, they would secretly deploy their own people. All this was to pave the way for the second prince.

Tell me, with Concubine Xiao and the Second Prince having such a powerful prime minister’s mother’s family as their backer, who knows what will happen to them in the future?

"Look at the Queen's mother's family, a powerless and outdated marquisate that can't help at all. The Crown Prince seems a little weak!"

Uncle Shen revealed the situation in the court that his brother had secretly analyzed.

"Dad, I've heard about the great achievements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He defeated the Gu Yue army and is a very beloved crown prince among us common people!"

"Well, I also believe in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I don't want the Emperor to change the Crown Prince."

The whole family was feeling unfair.

*

However, Fang Qingge's heart was beating wildly "boom boom boom" as if it was being hit by a snare drum.

Before she could feel sad about the passing of time, Uncle Shen dropped another big bombshell.

“Let me tell you another big secret, which your uncle secretly told you. It says that the prince fell ill as soon as he returned from our northern border.

It was said that she had caught a cold and was in a very weak condition and needed to rest. The emperor sent a royal doctor to the East Palace to see her and no one was allowed to visit her. The reason was that they were afraid of the cold spreading.

Even the Queen Mother is not allowed to visit!

Alas! I wonder how serious the prince's illness is? How is he now? It must have been about three months, right? "

"What? Our Crown Prince is ill? God bless him! May the Crown Prince recover quickly from his cold, and may he be healthy and live a long life! May he become powerful and not be taken away from his position by that Second Prince."

Aunt Yu, who worshipped and admired the prince, clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly to the Buddha.

**

There was too much information tonight, and Fang Qingge's brain couldn't digest it all at once.

She stood up and said:

"Mom, you guys keep chatting. I'm a little tired."

"Ah? Tired? Good. Qingge, go back to your room and rest! Mom will make you a bowl of chicken soup tomorrow."

Aunt Yu quickly stood up and lit the oil lamp to send Fang Qingge back to the west wing.

**

West Wing,

Fang Qingge lay on the bed, touching her already bulging belly. Thinking of the current situation and the seriously ill crown prince in the East Palace, she couldn't help but sigh:

"My dear! Your biological father is not very helpful! Now I don't know whether it is a real illness or he is just being treated.

Look how big his injury is!

Just the fact that we have been married for three years, and you haven't had a brother or sister yet!

No wonder his political opponents won't let go of him.

My dear! If you were born, you would be the boss. Do you know how sinister, dangerous and cruel the world of others is?

Mommy thinks of the palace fighting dramas she watched in her previous life. Oh! It’s scary to think about it. Your future is worrying! "

Wild thoughts, sentimentality, nonsense, maybe this is really a common problem for pregnant women. Fang Qingge's mind was buzzing, and she couldn't help thinking too much.

*

She stroked her belly with her hands, thinking that since she became pregnant, she suddenly turned from an unmarried girl into a pregnant woman in an instant. To be honest, she knew nothing about the pregnancy.

Although the space elf reminded me to supplement nutrition during pregnancy.

So many things happened during this period that even Fang Qingge, a thick-skinned man, forgot about the concept of pregnancy test.

Or maybe she hasn't fully accepted the fact that she's pregnant yet?

When I thought about prenatal checkups, I remembered that when I first received the smart detector, the handsome engineer said it could communicate via voice.

So, Fang Qingge, who couldn't help but feel a little curious, connected the voice with the detector in the space in his mind.
