Because both the emperor and the empress were immersed in the pain of bereavement, although many people had hidden thoughts, they still dared not reveal them publicly, not to mention openly admonishing them during the court meeting.However, privately, there was a dark tide in the city of Chang'an again, and even many noble ladies at the banquet were whispering from time to time, almost all of them were discussing the matter of the fourth prince replacing the third prince and handing over to Empress Du to raise him.I don't know who contributed to the flames, these rumors soon spread to Mrs. Wei, but she just kept silent.

No one dared to speak to the sage, but it did not mean that those who were interested would not find another way to persuade Queen Du.At this time, the ashram for the first emperor has ended, and the three concubines in the other palace are preparing to go to the palace to escape the summer heat.However, Concubine Yang was involved in the matter, and Concubine Yan was always unwilling to be lonely, so the two came to visit Empress Du together.On the contrary, Wang Taifei just sent a trusted servant girl to come with them.

"Adu, don't be too sad, it's just that you don't have a chance with this child, Amitabha." Concubine Yang held Empress Du's soft hand, carefully scrutinized her pale face, and the words Yang Shijing once said to her floated in her heart As well as the message Yang Qian entrusted to her, his eyes could not help but flicker. "Having a dojo for Saburo so that he can be reincarnated as soon as possible is the last thing our elders can do for him."

Empress Du sighed lightly, and nodded slightly: "The concubine is right...he is so young and has no crimes, so he must be able to reincarnate into a wealthy family and spend his life carefree... ...If there is a destiny, maybe we will come back to the Taiji Palace...It can be regarded as the fulfillment of our mother-child relationship..."

The Concubine Yan next to her heard this, her eyelids twitched slightly, and she immediately continued: "Adu is reluctant to part with Saburo, and it is a pity that he died at a young age. We all feel the same way. Alas, who did not die when he was young What about the child? In my opinion, it’s better for Adu to look away—or, to raise another child under his knees as a consolation?"

"Yeah, raise another child and enjoy the happiness of the family, so you won't always miss Saburo. The dead are gone, we living should think about it." Yang Taifei also said, only Mingming Said in vain: Shiro, a girl from the Yang family, was handed over to the queen to be raised, and she was filial to the queen.

Empress Du lowered her eyes and fell silent, without speaking for a long time.All the people present are smart people, they can understand each other's meaning without deliberately pointing out, a word or even a look can interpret countless meanings.Of course it was impossible for her to respond instantly and agree to the persuasion of Concubine Yang and Concubine Yan.

Unexpectedly, Princess Yong'an couldn't help but said: "It's enough for A Niang to have a sister and a son. My son will definitely be filial to A Niang and relieve her boredom." Even though she was well protected by Empress Du and Princess Changning, She is no longer a completely ignorant toddler.Since my elder sister came out, the little guy seemed to have matured a lot overnight, and she was six years old, and she had already vaguely formed thoughts about the vicissitudes of life in the palace.

Concubine Yang was taken aback, while Concubine Yan turned around and said with a smile, "Wanniang, you and sister are both young ladies, you still need a young man to accompany you under your mother's lap. Otherwise, you and sister After all my sisters have surrendered, your mother is so lonely staying in the palace alone." Seeing that the little guy is young, she just coaxed her casually and didn't take it seriously.

However, Princess Yong'an frowned, pouted and said: "Aniang is still accompanied by Grandpa, how could she stay in the palace alone? Besides, I am different from Elder Sister, I will not surrender!!" She rolled her round eyes, and said again: "Even the young man will move out of the palace early like the elder brother and the second brother, let alone accompany A Niang to relieve boredom!" Both the annoying King Qi and the King Shu Living in the palace, Concubine Yang Xian and Zhang Zhaoyi often "miss" their son in front of Queen Du.She has said those sentences countless times, and she has long remembered them!

For a moment, Concubine Yan was speechless.Princess Changning smiled lightly, and hugged her younger sister into her arms, while Yan Zhan, the son-in-law standing beside her, frowned quietly and exchanged glances with Concubine Yan.He thought that no one had noticed his actions, but he didn't know that Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, who had never said a word, had been paying attention to him, and his dark eyes turned slightly cold when he saw this.

Perhaps in order to save the face of the elders, Empress Du coughed twice, and smiled a little weakly: "Let me think about it again. After all, Shiro is too young, and I can't bear to let him leave Yang Chongrong's side..." These words, however, undoubtedly reveal the meaning of sixty-seven points of secret promises.

Concubine Yang and Concubine Yan couldn't hide their joy, and they both promised that they would persuade Yang Chongrong, and they also vowed that they thought it would be most appropriate for Shi Lang to be raised by Queen Du, and that Queen Du could treat him as her own child in the future, etc.Empress Du smiled without saying a word, and listened quietly with lowered eyes.

Yan Zhan finally secretly heaved a sigh of relief, with a little joy in the corners of his eyes and brows.He carefully observed Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an, and found that their reactions were relatively flat, and he couldn't help but secretly happy: Sure enough, he was right, if he persuaded Empress Du, your lord would not feel annoyed by dealing with the Yang family.However, when he raised his eyes to look at Xin'an County King, he suddenly found that this uncle was looking at him with an extremely chilling look in his eyes.

Prince Yan's son-in-law had never seen such an indifferent appearance of the Prince of Xin'an, and he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.However, he soon regained his composure, and even felt a little pleasantly surprised - obviously, the Prince of Xin'an did not agree with Empress Du raising the fourth prince, and as long as he had conflicts with Empress Du's mother and daughter, he would gradually renounce him.And he, the son-in-law, can naturally completely replace his position in the hearts of Empress Du and her daughter.

This is what he desires most, and what he deserves!After all, he is Princess Changning's son-in-law, and he is the son-in-law of Empress Du!No matter how close the nephew is, after all, he is from Prince Pu's family, so it is inevitable that he will have a different heart!After all the calculations, if they don't rely on the son-in-law, who else can Queen Du and her daughter rely on? !

For a moment, Consort Yan even felt a little light in his bones, as if the thorn in his heart had finally been pulled out smoothly, and he finally got everything he deserved!At this moment, he firmly believed that his choice was the wisest, and the timing of his choice was also the most appropriate.

However, that night, after returning to the Princess Mansion, Princess Changning suddenly called him into the bedroom.

When Yan Zhan stepped into the princess bedroom with a smile on his face, he unexpectedly found that there were two more people in the palace that he hated the most in his life.One is for Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, who took away his status, and the other is for Prince Zuo Buque, who has been haunted by Menxia Province.It was clear that the night was getting dark, and these two men actually appeared in the princess' bedroom, which was enough to make him turn green and pale, and endless anger and all kinds of unbearable guesses buried in his heart welled up in his heart.

Princess Changning didn't pay attention to the change in his face at this time, she just drank the iced peach syrup and said with a half-smile: "I have told my son-in-law several times that I don't like the Yang family, I don't like Dowager Yan, I will never associate with them. And the son-in-law has assured me several times that he will never pay attention to them again. Tsk, what happened?"

"My son-in-law, I need to count for you. How many times have you met Yang Mingdu in private these days? I need to arrest the people around you and torture them. How many times have they sent letters to Concubine Yan in other palaces?" Is it?"

Yan Zhan finally woke up a little bit, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am only planning for Your Highness the Queen and Your Majesty! Your Highness has no princes under her knees, and the third prince died young. If the fourth prince is not supported, the Yang family will rely on the four The prince will be ambitious and uncontrollable in the future! In order to help the fourth prince to the crown prince, Yang Chongrong's goal will definitely be the empress! As long as the fourth prince is taken from the hands of the Yang family, they will have nothing to rely on!"

"So, you made false claims with them in order to snatch Shiro, and act first?" Princess Changning raised her eyebrows.

Seeing that her expression seemed to soften, Yan Zhan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "That's right. I know that your lord has always hated the Yang family and didn't like to associate with them, so he made his own decisions—this is my fault. It is not too much to blame me. But heaven and earth can prove that I did this for the sake of Her Royal Highness and Your Lord! As for my aunt, she was just helping me. She always did it with good intentions before. Wrong thing, as long as we can persuade her, we will have nothing to do in the future."

"Oh? Then I would like to thank the son-in-law for bearing the humiliation and dealing with the Yang family for me?" Princess Changning sneered.

Yan Zhan was stunned, and saw her standing up slowly, her bright red lips opening and closing: "As long as the blood of the Yang family flows, I hate it very much. The Yang family has four princes, so what? Sheng, I will have fifth younger brother, sixth younger brother, and many younger brothers in the future. No matter which younger brother A Niang chooses to raise under her knees, it will be countless times better than the fourth prince!!"

"Why is your lord always so impulsive?" Yan Zhan frowned, and sighed as if extremely helpless, "The fourth prince was indeed born of Yang Chongrong, but at the same time, he also shed the blood of a saint, no different from the other princes. Moreover, just because he is the daughter of the Hongnong Yang family, he is better than the third prince in terms of aptitude..."

"It's only a few months old baby, and the son-in-law is full of praise, and I don't know what kind of deal has been reached with the Yang family." Wang Zixian raised the corners of his lips, and continued calmly, "Raising the fourth prince, your highness the empress. There are hundreds of harms but no benefits. After all, few princes in a mother family like the Hongnong County Mansion will turn a blind eye. They made wedding dresses for others and ended up with nothing. Is the son-in-law trying to 'plan' for Her Royal Highness?"

"Wang Buque tried his best to sow discord, isn't it too dishonorable?" Yan Zhan replied in a cold voice, "No matter how powerful the Hongnong County Government is, there will be times of decline, just plan it slowly!"

Wang Zixian ignored his attack and self-defense, and smiled nonchalantly: "Of course, what the son-in-law cares about is not what Her Highness the Queen is, but what benefits the Duke of Cheng can get from it. With the trust and gratitude of your lord, and at the same time forming a good relationship with the Yang family, and making good friends with the future Crown Prince, the Duke of Cheng's Mansion will be invincible in the future."

Undoubtedly, his words hit the most secret thought in Yan Zhan's heart.Therefore, although he barely maintained his composure, his expression gradually changed.

However, Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, did not intend to waste any more time, and said coldly, "Why do you distinguish these things from him? This kind of person can always find countless reasons to defend himself, and he even pretends that they are all for the sake of his aunt's peace." Hello, mother. Does he think we are all stupid? Or is he an out-and-out stupid? A person who is greedy for profit is useless, so let him get out of here quickly." Today's play, the king of the county His Highness was already very tired of watching it, so naturally he didn't want to argue with him about right and wrong.

Yan's son-in-law had never been so humiliated before, and he couldn't help being angry: "Oh, this is the princess' bedroom! I would like to ask, as a dignified son-in-law, I can't stay here, so what are the identities of the two of you appearing here in the middle of the night? !"

The meaning of this remark was beyond words, Princess Changning's black eyes immediately raised up, and Prince Xin'an narrowed his eyes slightly.The two pairs of extremely similar phoenix eyes contained anger and disbelief—"Yan Zhan!!"

The ice-cold peach syrup poured over Yan Consort Ma's body, and Prince Xin'an's fist then hit his handsome face.

Wang Buque stepped forward unhurriedly, patched his feet, then turned his head and said: "These days, don't let the son-in-law out of the house? Don't scare others."

Princess Changning and Prince Xin'an snorted coldly almost in unison.

So, from the next day, Prince Yan started a long sick leave.Yang's family, Yan's family—although many people came to the princess mansion to "visit sick" every day, none of them could see him.
