The most famous figure in the capital today is none other than Rong Bo, who has changed his name.
Everyone was envious of the emperor's love for him, and some even speculated whether the emperor, who had no son, would eventually adopt him as his heir. Many people felt that this was very possible, otherwise how could the saint bring two well-read poems together?
The literary boss of the book was sent to teach Rong Bo.
So Rong Bo became more and more popular. If it weren't for the fact that he was still observing filial piety and couldn't attend the banquet, all the nobles in the capital would have invited him. Everyone couldn't help but secretly curse Su Yibo for being quite old and cunning.
Before he could react, he asked his granddaughter to seduce Rong Bo, and even dug a trap so that Rong Bo had to marry his granddaughter.
Yes, in the eyes of many people, the so-called hero saving the beauty was directed and acted by the Xia family.
Rong Bo really liked Xia Zhiyao at first, feeling that she was beautiful, noble and gentle, which perfectly matched his imagination of a rich and noble woman. However, after hearing such comments too many times, he began to murmur in his heart.
Speaking of which, when he passed by the lake that day, Xia Zhiyao's maid went to look for him. She said that Xia Zhiyao had made the peach blossom paper and wanted him to take a look at it so he could give her advice. As a result, he met Xia Zhiyao who had fallen into the water.
In a moment of desperation, he jumped down to save her.
Could it be that Xia Zhiyao deliberately set him up to marry him, right?
Rong Bo was not dissatisfied. Being able to have a rich young lady throw himself into his arms did bring him a great sense of accomplishment. However, his perception of Xia Zhiyao also changed. He felt that she was not very dignified.
.If he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, Xia Zhiyao's character is still not enough to honor the world.
Just thinking of Uncle Su Yi, Rong Bo, who was originally in a daze, came to his senses again.
Uncle Su Yi knew his true identity. If he treated Xia Zhiyao badly, Uncle Su Yi would take action against him.
Then let alone become emperor, whether he can keep his head is still a question.
Not to mention that now he still needs the support of the forces behind Su Yibo. He knows that Su Yibo holds half of the military talisman.
Thinking of this, he told his servant, "I remember that Yaoyuan loves to eat wisteria cakes from Dongyangfang. I'll wait in line to buy some."
He wanted to send it to Uncle Suyi's house in person, and discuss with Uncle Suyi how to go next.
He and Su Yibo are now tied to the same ship, and Yuanyuan is his fiancée. Su Yibo will definitely support him with all his strength. Speaking of which, his biggest competitor now should be King Kang's son, right?
I heard that Uncle Su Yi worked for King Kang in the past, but I wonder if he has any evidence against King Kang.
In addition, he also has to work hard to cultivate a relationship with his nominal mother Rong Xiang.
Speaking of which, since they recognized each other, Rong Xiang was not as warm to him as he imagined. He originally thought that after regaining his lost love, Rong Xiang would try his best to compensate him. However, after they recognized each other, the eldest princess...
Didn't even see him.
Is it a matter of personality? If she has such a cold and reserved temperament in front of Yu Dingquan, it’s no wonder that Yu Dingquan prefers extramarital affairs. What men can stand such a temperament? The fact that her son was swapped out is also a problem.
She has herself to blame.
But if it hadn't been for this incident, how could he have soared into the sky?
Speaking of which, as the eldest princess, Rong Xiang had more than a dozen royal estates under her name, and the dowry she received when she got married was a sensation in the whole city. I am afraid that those princes and counties may not be as rich as the eldest princess.
These should have been left to him. Because of the favor of Emperor Rong Ji, Rong Bo gradually developed ambitions. His current goal is not the titles of Duke and County Prince, but the throne. And he wants to plan for this position.
, wanting to accumulate more power, money was inevitable, so he began to eye the eldest princess's coveted dowry.
…
"That's just the way it is."
"Suijun is my sister's biological son."
In the palace, Emperor Rong Ji left others alone and told his mother and sister the news.
But this time around Rong Bo, the Queen Mother obviously didn't believe him so easily.
"Are you sure you got it right this time?"
The corner of Rong Ji's mouth twitched and he said: "With the baby clothes and the birthmark, everything is safe this time." He couldn't hold it back and defended himself, "I already knew that Rong Bo was fake, I just needed him to admit it.
This is the target, so I took advantage of it."
He is not so easily deceived by Su Yibo, okay?
Moreover, this round also brought out the informants in the palace. Uncle Su Yi is quite capable, and all the contacts in Dingquan should be in his hands.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No wonder I don't like Rong Bo very much when I see him. It's really a lie."
She suddenly remembered something, "The name you are talking about, Yuan Suijun, is so familiar!"
Rong Xiang, who had been silent at first, said: "That kid is this year's top pick."
The Queen Mother suddenly realized, "That's the kid who got the third grade! I heard he looks like your father!"
Even the Queen Mother, who doesn't pay much attention to government affairs, has heard about it.
"Yes, that child has a very similar temperament."
The Queen Mother smiled happily and said, "As expected of my grandson, he is just as good as he is!"
"So when can you show him to us?"
"When will Rong Bo's identity be revealed? How long do you want him to keep pretending to be Xiang'er's son?"
Rong Ji touched his nose and said, "I think it will be enough to wait until the queen gives birth to a child."
By then, everything that needs to be dealt with will have been dealt with.
The Queen Mother showed a happy expression, "It's a good thing I didn't reward him with a few villages and shops, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss now."
Then she hammered her son with her fist, "You actually hid this from me and your sister!"
Rong Ji did feel guilty about his career, "I'm afraid, Queen Mother, that you might reveal your clues in front of my sister."
Well, in the past, the queen mother could still hold her own, but since she became the queen mother, perhaps because she had nothing to worry about, she began to let herself go.
"I originally thought that his presence might be able to comfort my eldest sister." As a result, my elder sister seemed to be very cold towards him.
Rong Xiang said lightly: "When I saw him, I knew he was not my son."
"The feeling he gave me was the same as the feeling Yu Jin gave me."
She will admit that her child is wrong once, but it is impossible to admit that she is wrong a second time.
It was just that Rong Xiang thought that her brother had specially found such a person to pretend to comfort her. In order not to worry her brother, she braced herself and cooperated with the imperial doctor's treatment as much as possible.
But this was the limit, so she didn't want to see Rong Bo for fear of thinking of her child who didn't know where he was. The queen mother also mistakenly thought that she was cold to the child because of Yu Dingquan, so she didn't summon him much.
Rong Xiang feels that although her marriage is unfortunate, she is much luckier than most women.
She raised her eyes and looked at Rong Ji, "I want to meet that child."
