Back in the imperial city, the most depressing thing for the couple was going to pay homage to the former queen who had passed away, plus the three-year filial piety.

It doesn't matter if you keep filial piety, anyway, now that Bai Chunsheng is pregnant, even if the couple can't help but reunite after a long absence, and want to do something that needs to be coded, they have to hold back for the sake of the child.

However, to put on sackcloth and filial piety to sacrifice to that woman, and to act like he was in pain, Wang Kunfeng was so depressed!

Not to mention Wang Kunfeng, even Bai Chunsheng himself felt uncomfortable.

People in the world like to say that "death is the greatest thing", as if the sins committed in life can be wiped out once you die.

Bai Chunsheng really laughed.

If repentance is useful, what are the eighteen hells for?

Of course, he was not really vicious to the point of cursing the first queen to go to hell, but he really wanted his cat master to forgive his biological mother for abandoning, disgusting, hating and treating him as those moral people demanded. Take precautions, and kneel in front of her grave in mourning and pain like a filial son... It's not that he doesn't believe in his cat master, but with his cat master's character, he probably wouldn't contribute such superb acting skills at all, To mourn someone he once hated so much.

However, when they saw the pale and thin face of His Royal Highness, the resentment of the couple disappeared instantly.

How did they forget?When the first queen passed away, the most sad and pitiful person should be His Royal Highness in front of you, right?

Back then, in order to prevent newcomers from occupying high positions in the harem, the empress vigorously promoted the old people in the original palace to become high-ranking concubines, but she didn't know that these "colleagues" who used to be in the palace were the ones who suffered the most from her.Now the queen has kicked her legs away, and there is only one prince left, who doesn't even have a brother or sister from the same mother. To paraphrase one of the most popular gossip in the harem today, it is "The concubines in the harem are all waiting in line. Your Majesty is whispering bad things about the prince." Pillow wind has always been a sharp weapon to alienate feelings.

Rao, the emperor had never had the idea of ​​abolishing the crown prince before, but now that he was brushed by a group of concubines in the harem, he couldn't help but have some new thoughts about the position of the crown prince.

The prince is certainly good, but, after all, he is in his prime, and there will be other princes born in the future, so there may not be no more suitable candidates than the prince.

What's more, the current performance of the prince is not as good as before. Not to mention being lazy in studying and learning, he is not as close to him as the emperor as before.The emperor knew that this child was at odds with him because he had appointed a concubine Xian as his successor.However, as the crown prince, he couldn't see his helplessness as an emperor, which in itself was a failure.

Prince Pingnan's mansion is full of mighty generals, and he is the most powerful force under his command now. Concubine Xian is broken and unable to give birth. It seems that the most suitable candidate in the palace to be a successor is also for the prince. Why can't the prince understand the best choice?

This is also the reason why the emperor became more and more dissatisfied with the prince. The endless pillow wind in the harem is only one of the small reasons. The most fundamental reason is that the prince has begun to distrust him as his father. Slowly teach his son, but, as an emperor, he can never tolerate his future heir being divorced from him...

Perhaps it was because of the awareness of His Majesty's neglect of the Crown Prince. Without the protection of the former Empress, the concubines in the harem wished to swallow His Highness the Crown Prince alive. Even the successor Empress Gong, because of the viciousness of the former Empress to Saburo's mother and son, inevitably felt a little bit towards the Crown Prince. To vent his anger, although it is not necessary to secretly do black hands, but it is not uncommon to stand by and let the concubines of the harem bully the prince.

In Empress Gong's view, the former empress harmed her eldest sister so badly, and caused Sanlang to have no biological mother by his side since he was a child. Save face online.

In the past, His Highness the Crown Prince was dressed in bright and luxurious clothes, elegant and calm, but after not seeing him for just a few months, how could the gentle and calm Crown Prince before have become so gloomy?

Looking at it, Bai Chunsheng felt a little uncomfortable. If the former queen knew about the sins she committed and finally repaid her most beloved son, I don't know if she would regret it?

Seeing the eyes of elder brother and sister-in-law looking at him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled bitterly, and a trace of warmth could not help flashing in the gloomy eyes. However, the protagonist today is the eldest brother, and it is not easy for him to say anything private on this occasion, so he smiled slightly. stood aside.

The emperor is in a very good mood today. The Eastern Expeditionary Army came back with a great victory. They directly wiped out Hanlan, a small country in the middle of the sea, and captured the ruler and royal family members. It took less than a year, which really made him look good!It also directly proved to the clan and courtiers that his decision to use the half-demon in the first place was wise.

On the day Qinghe County King returned to Beijing, he was canonized as Prince Pinghai.Even the princess of Qinghe County was promoted to be the prince concubine. The prince's mansion given by the emperor was already being repaired when the good news from the front line came back. After they came back, they were ordered to move into the prince's mansion immediately.

If it wasn't for Prince Pinghai's half-demon blood, I'm afraid the courtiers couldn't help but wonder if His Majesty planned to appoint the actual eldest prince as the crown prince.Tsk tsk~ what a pity!After all, it is only of half-demon blood, and it is not even possible to enter the royal genealogy.

In fact, what outsiders don't know is that Wang Kunfeng had the opportunity to be included in the royal genealogy, but he himself rejected it.

The emperor wanted to praise him, so that he could teach the prince how to be a good son who is really loved by his father.However, in order to prevent the blood of the half-demon from going mad, it is necessary to take the decoction made by the high priest. The decoction can restrain the madness of the half-demon. , will completely lose the ability to conceive offspring.The emperor originally thought that the eldest son would marry a male demon anyway, and the couple seemed to have a good relationship, and it would be fine if they didn't want an heir, but Wang Kunfeng refused it outright!

The reason is also bloody.Uncle Mao confronted his old man as always, and replied him with a stiff neck: "My son is afraid that he will not lift up if he takes the soup."

This reason is simply irrefutable!

Everyone in the imperial city knows how much Prince Pinghai loves his concubine. Even if he is already a prince, the concubine is the only one in the backyard who loves him alone. It is not surprising that the boat is used for the business of the princess's natal family.

The emperor probably really has a tendency to be abused. He was not angry when he was so rudely beaten back by his elder son. Instead, he thought that the elder son's straightforward personality was cute. Anyway, he just wanted to use his half-demon The eldest son is willing to accept the status of the royal family, even if he is not willing to accept a little compensation from his father, he does not have to send this compensation.

In the ancestral temple, the high priest was also relieved to learn that Prince Pinghai was unwilling to accept the status of the royal family.

As a staunch supporter of the peaceful coexistence of the human and monster races, the High Priest also hopes that the court can give the semi-demon, a derivative of the fusion of the two races, a proper identity. However, the premise of all this must be that the new race of the semi-demon can control The danger lurking in the mixed blood in the body.

No one knew the dangers of this better than the High Priest.

Many years ago, the human race and the demon race joined forces in the battle against the demon race. After the war, the human race and the demon race established a rule that the two races live in harmony and share the world. In order to deepen the friendship between the two races, the two races Marriage is also welcome.

However, no one thought that the marriage between the human race and the monster race would not only give birth to human children and monster race cubs, but also have a certain chance of giving birth to half-demon blood!

At first, no one thought that this new race would be dangerous. After all, the newly born half-demons were either human or animal cubs, and they looked no different from ordinary children.

Until one year, at the palace banquet, a prince suddenly went berserk and turned into a beast, biting his own mother to death and wounding several clan relatives. In the end, the imperial army had no choice but to follow the emperor's order and kill him on the spot.

After the half-demon was killed, the high priest at that time was ordered to investigate the matter and opened the body of the mad prince, only to find that there was no inner alchemy belonging to the demon race in the prince, nor a heart belonging to the human race!

After that, there were frequent incidents of half-demons hurting people among the people, which once created a gap in the friendship between the originally harmonious two races. In order to stabilize the friendship between the two races, the then Emperor Taizu issued an order to forcibly deprive the blood of the half-demons. Inheritance rights, and people of half-demon blood are not allowed to participate in the imperial court's selection of officials and scientific examinations.

And the high priest at that time, after studying countless half-demon blood, finally found a way to determine the half-demon blood.They found that when the blood of the half-demon dripped on the leaves of the saxifrage, the leaves would immediately turn a terrifying blood red, while the blood of the pure-blooded humans and demons had no reaction.

This is why every household has to plant saxifrage nowadays. Even the poorest families will use dilapidated earthenware pots to plant a few saxifrage trees dug from the mountains for emergencies.

With the influence of the court decree, from then on, no matter whether it is the court dignitaries or ordinary people, once they give birth to a half-demon blood, those who are more cruel will directly throw away the newly born half-demon, and those who are soft-hearted will not dare to raise them in the family. The family is harmed by the surroundings, and the family is good, so the child is sent to a remote village to feed and drink.

The reason why they are reluctant to really give up is because the priests discovered that not all half-monsters will go berserk. As long as they can survive to a certain age and can freely transform between human and beast forms, they will be no different from ordinary monsters. Without the inner alchemy of the Yaozu, one cannot cultivate, but it has no effect on lifespan.

As the emperor and his courtiers insisted, compared with the benefits brought by the integration of the two races, the occasional appearance of half-demons whose total number is less than the number of people in a county is really nothing to worry about.It is also because of this that the half-demon was not wiped out by the imperial court. However, such a new ethnic group born with genetic defects will definitely not be welcomed by the world. Some extreme people even think that the half-demon is an evil hybrid. must be destroyed immediately.

From this point of view, the former queen was really kind to Wang Kunfeng and Saburo. At least, she just sent these half-monster children to the other courtyard of the palace, and assigned the servants of the other courtyard to raise them. A sum of money will also be set aside as their living expenses. Although they have been embezzled by their subordinates, they have fulfilled their responsibility to raise them.

What's more, what makes the human race and the demon race have no way to agree with the half demon group is that even if the half demon is successfully transformed, because there is no inner alchemy, there will be defects of one kind or another, such as Sanlang's cat ears and tail, For example, Wang Kunfeng's two legs covered with cat fur... Some of them were in the form of ordinary human children when they were young, and after they grew up and transformed into monsters, some had a pair of human ears, and some had human ears. The upper body is a monster, but the lower body is still in the shape of a human. It is frightening to look at. It is no wonder that those timid humans are afraid of such creatures, and the proud monsters do not want to admit such creatures.

No one knew, but a few years after discovering the new group of half-demons, the royal family had mastered the method of controlling this group through the priests.

However, this method has been firmly hidden in the hands of successive emperors and high priests, and has never been made public.

Sometimes, the fear of the unknown is the most effective way to unite people with different ideas.With the semi-demon race, no matter whether it is a human race or a demon race, the degree of recognition of the other party has reached its peak all at once!As far as the human race is concerned, the demon race that can control itself well is much better than the half-demon who will go berserk in minutes, and for the demon race, those half-demons with weird appearance are far less attractive than the pure-blooded human race. cute.

Two different races come together through people who hate each other.

No one thought about how miserable the sacrificed half-demon would be. Just like now, the new half-demon army has clearly made great contributions in the great cause of the Eastern Expedition, but the rewards are far inferior to those human races and demons who followed behind them to snatch the fruits of victory After the victory, they were sent to Beiying by the emperor on the grounds of "new army cultivation and training". Into the North Camp.

Little did they know, they thought that Prince Pinghai, who could not control them now, was trying hard to continue to protect their rights.

"What you said is true? Then on the East China Sea, there are really wild islands that can produce gold?" Hearing the elder son's secret performance, the emperor's heartbeat accelerated rapidly. There is no emperor who does not want to expand the territory, but expands the territory. It is necessary to support a large number of sergeants. Even if those sergeants do not need to go out to fight, the daily consumption of rice and grain is a huge expense. When he is short of money now, if Wang Kunfeng can really get him an island that can produce gold...

"Father, this matter is absolutely true!" Wang Kunfeng said in a deep voice, "My son also learned from his father-in-law by chance that there are aborigines living on the islands in the East Sea all the year round, wearing fish skin skirts, Stepping on coconut shell shoes, they make a living by fishing all year round. The aborigines believe in the god of the sea. Whenever they find gold ore on the beach, they have to catch big fish to thank the god of the sea. My father-in-law also exchanged cotton, hemp and soybean oil for gold in the hands of the aborigines. Ore, come back and sell it, but you can earn some silver."

"Huh!" The emperor snorted unhappily. The gold and silver mines are all run by the court, and private mining is not allowed among the people. When you go home, you secretly refine gold yourself, which is cheaper than selling it in government-run gold and silver shops. Most of them are bought by people who are greedy for small profits to make jewelry and pretend to be pure gold.

"Cough~ Father, that's what my son thinks. Those half-demon new troops are now idle around the Peking Camp, and the food and military salary they consume every month is also a lot of money. Instead of raising them for nothing, it's better Please ask the imperial court to build dozens of large ships. I will take them and ask my father-in-law to lead the way. Whether it is to capture the island and return it to my court, or exchange some worthless cotton, linen, rice flour, soybean oil, etc. for gold ore, it will be fine. It can add an extra amount of military pay to the imperial court, there are more fish and shrimp in the sea, and fishing every day can also save some military food consumption."

"Now that you are married, you are very good at living." Hearing what he said, the emperor even thought of taking advantage of the convenience of fishing in the sea and saving military rations. The prince also arranged a good marriage, maybe it would be good to be married?

Look at Dalang, he used to be disobedient and unfilial when he was not married, and he always got a headache when he was angry. Now that he is married, with the concubine under his control, he started to help the court with errands in a serious way, all the way from the county king to the prince ?Except for the fact that they still can't enter the royal family tree because of their blood relationship, the other treatment is no different from those of the princes in the court.

only--

"It's a good thing for you to go to sea to find gold mines for the court. Why did you take the princess with you?" the emperor couldn't help asking.

"If the father is willing to move the imperial city to the seaside, why would the son take the princess to the sea?" Master Mao is worthy of being the king of Yujie, and he has never lost his ability to fight back. It's tough.

"How do you say that?" The emperor was surprised.

"Asheng's real body is a river mussel. This father also knows that the imperial city is about to enter winter. The winter is so cold that even the spring water outside will freeze. Even if the son takes Asheng to the hot spring to say goodbye Staying in the courtyard for a while, this solar term can't stop the cold air all over the body, even if he didn't visit the gold mine for the emperor, the son still wants to take A Sheng to the south for the winter." Wang Kunfeng complained pretendingly.

Sure enough, the emperor laughed angrily at his cowardly image of "the queen's first labor and management" and pointed at him speechless for a long time. Finally, he couldn't hold back, picked up the memorial on the royal case and threw it away. , Cursed dumbfoundingly: "Go, go! If you can't bring back the gold mine, I will cut off your title of prince! I will punish you to take your precious princess to go fishing at sea!"

"Fishing is fishing! It's not like my son didn't do hard labor in Qinghe before! The princess went out to sea to find me this time, running back and forth. Finally, my son was empty now, and he just wanted to go to sea to find gold mines for the emperor, so I simply took him with me. Let's go to the East China Sea together, if the father doesn't like to see us, the son will send someone back when he finds a gold mine, and the son and the princess will stay in the East Sea, and being a couple of fishermen will be easy."

"Nonsense! In this way, you are a dignified prince of the court, don't you become the son-in-law of the Bai family?" The emperor scolded angrily.

"If my father cuts off my title as a prince, my son will lose his salary, so he can only go to his father-in-law's house to ask his father-in-law to take him in."

"Forget it, I really shouldn't have let you stay in Qinghe back then, and you've learned to behave like a rascal, so you go as you please, and Auntie and your wet nurse can stay in Beijing. The Queen likes Auntie very much." Child, if the transformation is successful in the future, the emperor will not treat her badly, and she must be married as a princess." The emperor said indifferently.

Wang Kunfeng sneered inwardly, but he would not contradict the emperor right now. Auntie had already eaten the white-patterned shell, and the chance of transforming into a demon was much more than that of ordinary half-demons. He believed that as long as he was still serving as the emperor for a day When doing business, Auntie and the wet nurse can get the best care in the imperial city.Besides, what if he doesn't agree?

He brought so many half-demon soldiers to sea, if he didn't pledge one or two hostages in the imperial city, he might not even be able to get out of the city gate.

Anyway, when he went out this time, he just wanted to find an excuse to let his mussels go to the East China Sea to raise babies. It is true that some islands produce gold mines, but it is difficult to convince the natives to dig gold mines at the risk of offending the sea god, but it can be used to delay for a while, and it is best to wait until his family's river oysters give birth to a child before returning.

At that time, he may not have no choice but to smuggle the nurse and aunt out of Beijing. At that time, he will smuggle Saburo's mother and son to the East China Sea. The family will find an island with rich fish in the depths of the sea. Wouldn't it be better for people to be together in harmony and beauty than to beg for food under the emperor's hand tremblingly in this imperial city?

Thinking of this, Wang Kunfeng smiled, and took the opportunity to ask the emperor for some craftsmen who are good at making and repairing sea ships, some blacksmiths for making tools for mining gold mines, and a ship of iron ore. The pen gold mine also readily agreed, and with his son's character of emphasizing love and righteousness, as long as Auntie and the nurse are still in his hands, this son will not be able to get out of Wuzhishan.

Returning to the Prince's Mansion with a heavy heart, he saw that his mussels had set up a barbecue grill in the yard, and the prince turned into a cat, gnawing on a grilled fish with relish, and suddenly became angry!

He tried his best to deal with him in the palace and wanted to take him out to sea for the winter, but this guy didn't say that he would wait for him at home, but even cooked grilled fish for his brother-in-law?

"Come here quickly! I left you a crucian carp with roe." Bai Chunsheng waved with a smile.

It's almost there!

Shi Shiran, who was exhausted from dealing with the emperor with a lot of brain cells, sat down, pushed the fluffy prince brother aside, took the place closest to the grill, and watched his mussels nimbly feeding him. Grilled fish to eat.
