297. Chapter 297 The Prince Visits the Duke's Mansion 01
Everyone is very curious about the prince.
Mainly because I heard too much about him, the eldest young master has been the prince's companion since he was seven years old. For almost ten years, the prince has been closely related to the Duke's mansion.
Many people even asserted that the eldest daughter of Su Guogong's family would become the queen in the future.
The second prince of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty was a prodigy in martial arts. He could lead troops to fight at the age of seven, and fought in the north and south. At the age of ten, he had already conquered the surrounding small countries, establishing the current situation of one-fifth of the world. The Central Plains region was already firmly dominated by the Zhou Kingdom.
Take control.
But the second prince Huangfu Jin didn't like reading, but the third prince Huangfu Xuan, also known as the prince, was a prodigy in reading.
Huangfu Xuan was the eldest son of the imperial concubine of the Song Dynasty. His father was Song Shijie, the general who followed the emperor in his early campaigns in the north and south. After the change of dynasties, Song Shijie was named the king with a different surname, the King of Zhongshan.
The young daughter of King Zhongshan was beautiful and graceful. She later entered the palace to accompany the emperor. After the death of the first queen, although she was not appointed as the queen, she became the imperial concubine second only to the queen and commanded the harem.
This imperial concubine has a reputation as a virtuous person and is praised by hundreds of officials. She can be said to be on par with Empress Changsun.
Now they have two sons and two daughters.
The Crown Prince Huangfu Xuan was born with a deficiency syndrome and was as beautiful as any other woman. However, he was extremely smart and good at using strategies. Some people even rumored that he was particularly ruthless.
Although he never led troops to fight, his cruelty was not inferior to that of the second prince.
So some people say behind his back that he has a soft appearance and a cruel heart.
Because he suffered from deficiencies when he was young, his body was thin and weak, and his temperament was timid on the surface, but in reality he was much more sinister. The emperor wanted to change the prince several times, but he was suppressed due to various reasons.
But what the emperor admires most now is the fifth prince Huangfu Jue.
These princes are about the same age, but they each have their own characteristics. They are equally outstanding and different from ordinary people.
Although Huangfu Jue's civil and military skills were slightly inferior to those of the crown prince and the second prince, he was a generous man and liked to make friends with capable people and people with lofty ideals. He had three thousand followers and could often make suggestions for the emperor and accomplish things that could not be accomplished.
Huangfu Jue's mother-in-law is the emperor's favorite concubine today. She is gentle, docile, considerate, does not fight for favor, and is not jealous. She can be said to be the emperor's sweetheart.
It is said that the emperor loves her so much now that even the imperial concubine would take a backseat to her. Moreover, he loves the house as much as the bird. In addition, Huangfu Jue is excellent, so the emperor is naturally partial to her.
