Si Xingzheng frowned and thought for a moment, and had to admit that Zheng Xi's guess was reasonable.

No wonder King Chen took An An back. Did he know that he had no son, so he won An An?

He really overestimated King Chen!

"Turn around, go to Prince Chen's Mansion!"

He couldn't allow King Chen to get along with An An with the purpose of taking advantage of him.

Zheng Xi hurriedly stopped them, it was too eye-catching for them to go back and forth like this.

The reason why His Majesty didn't let Xiao Shizi adopt him was to protect Xiao Shizi, so that no one would know that His Majesty intends to pass on the throne to Prince Chen's son.

Si Xingzheng was persuaded, so angrily he picked up the wrench and raised his hand to smash it out, but in the end he held it firmly in his palm and did not let go.

"I don't understand, An An is his eldest son and currently his only child, why he doesn't have any father-son affection for An An."

They belong to the same line as the Si family, and they have never had many offspring.

The former emperor had the most children, but the total number of princes and princesses born was less than ten, and only eight adults were born.

Most of the Si clan are not very affectionate.

They don't pay much attention to the relationship between men and women, but for the family, especially the heirs, they protect their shortcomings tightly.

The first emperor was considered an outlier among the Si clan.

He was affectionate and ruthless. He respected the Empress Yuan in the early years, but then changed his heart for some reason, and became fond of the Yang family. Get rid of his prince's mind.

Could it be that King Chen is like the former emperor in this respect?

But King Chen is not a womanizer.

Si Xingzheng felt a little puzzled.

After he returned to the palace, he asked someone to pack An An's things, and asked Ying Jiu to dress up as a maid to protect An An, also paying attention to King Chen's actions.

Ying Jiu is a female secret guard, and she rarely shows her true colors in front of people.

Si Xingjian didn't know that a small action of hers had caused a lot of trouble to the master and servant.

He didn't think it was a wise choice for Si Xingzheng to maintain the status quo.

The eldest prince is not of royal blood. There are two most likely reasons:

One is that the queen concealed that Si Xingzheng had a son with another man in order to maintain her position;

Second, in order not to arouse the suspicion of everyone, Si Xingzheng ordered another man to have sex with the queen instead of himself and give birth to the eldest prince.

As for the civet cat being exchanged for the crown prince and the queen being taken advantage of by others, the possibility of this is extremely slim.

Either of those two reasons is wrong.

If the queen is unfaithful, she will be worried that the matter will be revealed.Moreover, such a thing is not something she can do alone, it is likely to have the help of her family.

Deceiving the emperor and confusing the blood of the royal family is a crime of extermination.

Suspicion begets dark ghosts, they already have a guilty conscience, won't they become more suspicious when they see that the emperor values ​​his nephew more than his eldest prince?

If Si Xingzheng took the initiative to cuckold herself, if the queen found out about it, she might feel resentful, and she might even guess Si Xingzheng's intentions. Compared to An An, a person who has no blood relationship with her, she would definitely Willing to let his son enthroned.

The Queen's family might take the risk directly and kill Si Xingzheng.

Furthermore, what if Si Xingzheng died suddenly?The eldest prince's succession to the throne is justified.

What if other rebels found out about this and declared that the Son of Heaven has no virtue, and that means that Heaven is about to subjugate the country?

This is a risky business.

The former emperors gradually became fatuous and cruel in middle age. It was only after the new emperor took the throne that he stabilized the government and promulgated many policies that benefited the people.

But Si Xingzheng, as the ruler of a country, cannot sit back and relax.

There are Beijiang and Xihan on the outside, and the remnants of Prince Jing are not clear inside, and there are many corrupt officials from the previous dynasty who are exploiting the common people...

If the emperor's backyard catches fire again, then their Dayan Kingdom will really be in turmoil.

I don't know if Si Xingzheng really has a hidden disease, and whether it can be cured.

Originally, Si Xingjian was quite satisfied with the status of King Chen, but he didn't expect that he would have to worry about whether other people could have a son.

Otherwise, not to mention his own cubs would be taken away, he might not even have a stable life.

The original owner has not been close to the emperor these years, if he rashly said directly: "Brother emperor, I don't think your son is his own, are you sick? Let me see if it can be cured?" It seemed that he was mentally ill.

It can only be drawn slowly.

Fortunately, Zai Zai is only three years old, the eldest prince is not yet seven years old, and Si Xingzheng is not yet [-] years old. If he can be cured, there is still a chance to give birth to an heir.

These things are not in a hurry. For Si Xingjian, the most important thing right now is to get acquainted with Zai Zai.

He walked around the palace with Zai Zai in his arms.

In fact, both father and son visited the palace for the first time.

An An had never lived in Prince Chen's mansion before, and every time he came back, someone would take him to greet his father or queen directly.If no one leads the way, he will not be able to touch his own yard.

In fact, even if An An grew up in the palace, he could get lost in his own home.

Because the palace is too big.

The palace covers an area of ​​nearly [-] mu, which is mainly divided into two areas: the mansion and the garden.The mansion alone has fifty acres, which is equivalent to the size of ten standard football fields.

You can't finish shopping in one day.

Si Xingjian mainly took Zai Zai to the courtyard, which is his residence.In fact, this is equivalent to a small home, with a small living room, bedroom, study, cleaning room, small kitchen and so on.

Zai Zai is curious about everything he sees.

The buildings of the palace can indeed be called magnificent and magnificent, but they are definitely not comparable to the imperial palace.

But An An still prefers the palace.

He couldn't tell what it was like, he just felt at ease here.

Si Xingjian took Zai Zai to get acquainted with the residence, then went to the study and drew a rough layout of the palace.

There are only three masters in the palace, and one of them voluntarily lives in a corner. In fact, there is no need to live in such a big place.

Many pavilions and courtyards are idle and need to be taken care of manually, which is a bit too extravagant and wasteful.

But this is the mansion given by the emperor, the original owner has lived in it for several years, and now he proposes to change the residence, but he can't explain it clearly.

Si Xingjian hugged Zai Zai, pointed to the picture, and told him, "This is the main hall, named Jiahe Hall; here..."

Obviously today was the first time he was hugged by his father, but Si Anzhen somehow felt that this embrace was very familiar.

Si Anzhen has been sleeping restlessly at night for the past few days, and he has been racking his brains over the past few days to think about how to solve the trouble, and today he is even more tense and worried.

Now hearing his father's clear and gentle voice like a spring breeze, he felt sleepy.

But he wanted to spend more time with his father, so he stretched out his little hand to support his eyelids to prevent himself from falling asleep.

Si Xingjian saw that the cub's head looked like a chicken pecking rice, so he moved the cub's hand away, patted it gently, and comforted him, "Go to sleep."

After Zai Zai fell asleep, Si Xingjian sent Zai Zai back to the bedroom, and asked someone to send the account book, and checked the expenses of the palace and the accounts of the shop and Zhuangzi.

There is no mistress in charge of the palace, and all trivial matters are managed by cronies sent by the original owner.

Officials of the palace include stewards, recorders, long history, Zhucao, master book, etc.

Most affairs have charters, and these subordinate officials and stewards can arrange them properly, and then let the original owner review and approve.

Only some major events are arranged by the original owner himself.

Although the original owner was not ignorant of general affairs, but he was busy with government affairs, and secretly engaged in some small tricks, so it was inevitable that he was a little bit powerless in dealing with the affairs of the government. He could only ensure that there were no mistakes in major matters, and he could not take care of many small matters.

There are corrupt officials in the court, and there may not be no slaves and treacherous servants in the palace.

Si Xingjian felt that the discord between the original owner and the emperor's brother was probably due to someone instigating it.

That person didn't directly tell the original owner that the emperor couldn't tolerate him, but used some trivial things to make the original owner think in that direction.

During the eight years since Si Xingzheng ascended the throne, the original owner's hatred for his imperial brother gradually deepened.

Even brothers who live in the same mansion will gradually become estranged after each becomes their own little family.

What's more, the original owner went out of the palace to build a mansion, and had less contact with the emperor's brother, and Si Xingzheng is not an ordinary elder brother. He has his own difficulties to be busy with government affairs, and he doesn't know the original owner's misunderstanding, let alone to explain.

Coupled with the fact that someone fanned the flames, the original owner who already had a estrangement from the emperor's brother would inevitably feel even more resentful.

As the so-called authorities are obsessed, the original owner will be provoked and used by others, and Si Xingjian, as a sober bystander, can easily find out from the experience of the original owner who is evil.

But he didn't immediately find out those people, but chose to wait and see what happened.

The person who appeared directly in front of the original owner may be used by others, or it may be just a pawn.

And what he was looking for was the messenger behind the scenes.

Si Xingjian read ten lines at a glance without using an abacus, so he read quickly.

Just as he put down the second thick account book, someone from the palace brought Si Anzhen's luggage.

Although Si Xingzheng did not intend to let An An live in the Prince Chen's residence, he said that he was sending some urgent items that were not available in the palace, but he still asked people to pack two large carts of packages.

Even An An's usual pen and ink were sent over.

An An now lives in Si Xing Jian's courtyard, so these things are naturally sent to him.

Si Xingjian looked at these exquisite and dazzling objects, and a slightly mocking smile flashed in his eyes.

He knew that it was Si Xingzheng who was provoking him—look, how kind my uncle is to An An, how about your own father?

How childish!

Is his cub someone who can be easily wooed by foreign objects?Even if he doesn't do anything, Zai Zai still looks towards him?

What's more, it was the original owner who ignored An An before, not him.

Although he knew Si Xingzheng's intentions, after all, the benefits fell on Zai Zai, and he couldn't prepare all of them for a while, so Si Xing Jianjian accepted them all without hesitation.

He didn't say much, he just asked people to count the things one by one and put them away, rewarded the people from the palace, and then sent them away.

Unexpectedly, a woman in a court lady's attire said that she was staying to take care of Xiao Shizi.

Si Xingjian snorted, "Isn't it enough to have Xuan Thirteen and Xuan Fourteen, and sent you here again?"

The shadow guard Yingjiu, whose alias was "Cuiqing", felt a little thumping in his heart, but he still pretended to be dazed and replied: "The servant girl used to take care of the little prince's food, and it was because His Majesty was afraid that the cooks in the palace wouldn't know the little prince's preferences, so he did it." Called the slave here."

Si Xingjian said in his heart: Others don't know Zai Zai's dietary preferences, but doesn't he, the father, know?

But he also knew that this person named "Cuiqing" was not just here to take care of the children, and he couldn't be easily driven away, so he left him behind.

He asked people to arrange accommodation for several people sent by the emperor.

But Ying Jiu said: "The servant girl and Cui Hong have to take care of the young prince, so it may not be convenient to live in the same courtyard."

Si Xingjian: "I don't have any women in this yard, why don't you send a message to your master and ask him to send another man over?"

Because some maids saw that the princess was not favored before, and took the initiative to think about Yuan, the original owner removed all the maids from the original owner, leaving only a few rough envoys, and they usually do not live in this courtyard.

Hearing this, Ying Jiu had no choice but to obey the arrangement, but was crying in her heart.

She originally thought that taking care of Xiaoshizi and watching how King Chen and Xiaoshizi got along was a simple and even boring task.

Unexpectedly, before she did anything, King Chen saw the clues, and King Chen didn't intend to hide it at all, and made everything clear.

It turned out that she had the false identity of a servant girl as a cover, and she was hiding in the dark.

But now, everything is reversed.

King Chen guessed her identity, and she knew that King Chen knew that she was sent by the master to monitor, but she still had to pretend to be an ordinary maid.

She is so hard!

Ying Jiu was very suspicious that King Chen did it on purpose, and he had made up his mind to pass the news to his master as soon as possible.

King Chen already knew her identity, and she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to complete the task.

Si Xingjian did it on purpose.

He knew that this "Cuiqing" was only obeying his master's orders, but so what if he vented his anger?Those who came to monitor him, do they still want him to treat each other with courtesy and cooperation?

He didn't think about pretending not to know in order to confuse the other party.

It would be uncomfortable if every move was under the watchful eye of someone with a heart, and he was too lazy to act.

Just don't make it easier for anyone.
