Mu Lanqing said in a deep voice: "Father, don't worry, my child will obey your orders!"
Mu Fang's shrewd eyes narrowed slightly: "Prince Jing is now full of wings, and has the full support of the resourceful Third Highness and the brave and capable Fourth Highness. If he is appointed as the prince again, I am afraid that our Mu family will not have a foothold in the future.
It’s over!”
Mu Lanqing's eyebrows were furrowed. Although he was young, he followed his father into the court after he was crowned weak. Now he is a powerful Minister of Household Affairs. He has a bright future. Naturally, he has been exposed to many events in the court. Of course he knows what his father said.
This possibility is extremely high.
They and Prince Jing are political enemies. If Prince Jing becomes the future crown prince and holds great power, I am afraid that the first one to be eliminated will be their Mu family. By then, the family will lose and lose power. The Mu family, the highest ranking person in Fenglin, will
The position of the door will give way to the talented person, and it will be just around the corner!
Mu Lanqing saw clearly that if he wanted to maintain the immense power of the Mu family and the position of the top family in Fenglin, he must not allow Prince Jing to successfully ascend to the position of crown prince!
Thinking of Prince Jing, Mu Lanqing couldn't help but think of Yan'er. Yan'er has been married to Prince Jing for so long without any movement. In the royal family that values children the most, Prince Jing actually has no heir. Mu Lanqing is also an extremely smart person.
, but for this enigmatic man like Prince Jing, there is always a feeling like looking at the moon in flowers and water in the mist. Prince Jing’s thoughts are unfathomable, and his emotions and anger are always invisible. No one can guess how he plans.
How is it laid out!
However, he knew that Prince Jing would not allow Yan'er to give birth to an heir, because if Yan'er gave birth to an heir, and Prince Jing would inherit the throne in the future, the Mu family would have the possibility of becoming a powerful relative again. With Prince Jing like this
An extremely smart man has already nipped this possibility in the cradle.
On that day, my aunt and father made two preparations for marrying Yan'er to Prince Jing. First, my father and aunt had already seen clearly that Prince Jing would be the biggest obstacle to the Mu family's future in ruling the court, so they took a step ahead to marry Prince Jing.
An informant from the Mu family was placed next to her to monitor Prince Jing's movements. Secondly, even if she took ten thousand steps back, Prince Jing would succeed in ascending to the throne in the future, and Yan'er had already given birth to Prince Jing's heir. A mother is more precious than her son.
, even if the Mu family has its ups and downs, it will still stand at the pinnacle of power in the end!
This move of the Mu family was not perfect, it was carefully planned, and all possibilities were taken into consideration. However, the opponent was a man as ignorant as Prince Jing. The layout of the Mu family could not be hidden from Prince Jing at all. Although Yan'er said that her natal family
She has a strong backstage and is in charge of Prince Jing's Mansion, but among the many women of Prince Jing, she is not particularly favored. If she wants to give birth to Prince Jing's heir, Mu Lanqing can't see the light of day!
Mu Lanqing suddenly felt sad for Yan'er. Among his many sisters, he loved Yan'er the most. But judging from the current situation, his sister was destined to sacrifice for the Mu family!
Even if Prince Jing becomes the crown prince in the future, Yan'er will never think about becoming a queen or concubine based on her husband's status. Moreover, Yan'er will definitely have no heirs for life. Like her current aunt, although she lives in the most noble and luxurious palace in the world,
But I can’t bear the loneliness and desolation in my heart!
What's more, if Prince Jing inherits the throne and the Mu family loses power, it will be the best result if he can keep Yan'er's life in good clothes and fine food. If Prince Jing knows what Yan'er did behind her back, will he be able to save his life?
It’s all a problem!
Mu Fang reminded: "Qing'er, you should understand that if Prince Jing becomes the crown prince, Yan'er's fate can be imagined. If you really think about your sister, you must not let Prince Jing become the crown prince of Fenglin.
!”
Mu Lanqing knew that what his father said was true. If Prince Jing failed in his fight for the crown prince and his power fell into the hands of others, the power of the Mu family would naturally be at its peak. By then, no matter how unwilling Prince Jing was, how could he be able to defeat the Mu family?
The power? And Yan'er can feel proud in front of Prince Jing and officially becomes the Princess Jing she dreams of. Prince Jing also has to look at Yan'er highly. This is the best result for Yan'er!
Mu Lanqing was born and raised in the Imperial Capital. What kind of marriage has he not seen before? When a woman from a distinguished family marries her husband's family, she can boss her around and be arrogant. Who in her husband's family dares not to serve her carefully?
Mu Lanqing made up his mind that for the sake of the Mu family and Yan'er, he must also attack Prince Jing's power and establish the young tenth prince as the heir apparent!
Mu Lanqing pondered for a long time and said: "But father, the tenth prince is still young. We want to make the tenth prince the crown prince. I don't think the opposition voice in the court will be low!"
Mu Fang glanced at Qing'er coldly and said, "The tenth prince is young, but he is very talented. He wrote poems at the age of three and poems at the age of five. He will become a great person in the future, although he is only nine years old now."
, Besides, the Emperor is in great power, he is just establishing a crown prince, not taking charge of the court?"
Mu Fang doesn't care whether the tenth prince is smart or not, and whether he can become a great person in the future. It doesn't matter. The most important thing is that the tenth prince is the daughter of Jieyu, who has a low status in the palace. He has no backing in the palace.
If you don't have a strong maternal clan to protect you, what will happen if you are a prince? Maybe he is worse than a powerful slave!
"What's more!" Mu Fang said slowly: "With our Mu family and your aunt in charge of the Sixth Palace, it is not impossible to support the tenth prince to inherit the throne!"
Mu Fang is a veteran of the court, so he naturally knows the bloody and cruel struggle for imperial power in the palace. They hold the power of the Mu family in the court and the public, and hold the most powerful positions in the court. The Mu family has deep roots and a wide range of factions, spreading throughout the court and every state and county.
Even the emperor was afraid of his disciples.
Although Marquis Dingnan was beheaded by the emperor last time, the intricate forces of the Mu family have been deeply embedded in the foundation of the entire dynasty. As long as the country still exists, it will still be difficult to shake the foundation of the Mu family.
thing!
Mu Lanqing looked into her father's deep eyes and pondered in her heart. The only way the Mu family can choose is to support the tenth prince to become the crown prince. After a hundred years of being emperor, the tenth prince can become their puppet emperor, and the world will be wiped out.
After entering into the hands of the Mu family, wouldn't Yan'er's matter be settled naturally?
The emperor has been feeling unwell recently, and some courtiers have proposed to establish a crown prince early to stabilize the government. However, the matter of establishing a crown prince is of great importance to the future of Fenglin for generations to come.
Now the factions in the court are gradually emerging. The courtiers headed by Prince Jiang naturally support Prince Jing as the prince, but the courtiers headed by his father support the tenth prince as the prince. The two are incomparable.
Except for the faction headed by Prince Jiang and his father, the other courtiers are all on the sidelines. There are hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, and most of them are outsiders. Whoever wins will fall to the camp of the other party without any ambiguity.
If you are in the wrong team, you will lose all your money and life if you are not careful, and years of hard work will be wasted overnight. Who can be careless about such a big thing?
"Qing'er, while Prince Jing is not in the court now, you can contact your colleagues in the court more often!" Mu Fang ordered.
"Yes!" Mu Lanqing said respectfully. This is a major event related to the future and destiny of the family. It depends on this time whether he will become famous and powerful, or he will be ruined and the building will collapse!
★★★
Today is the birthday of Poseidon, and a grand annual worship ceremony will be held here!
Fishermen are all believers in Poseidon. They believe that Poseidon can protect the country and the people and bless good weather. They can also use the spiritual power of Poseidon to overcome all difficulties. Therefore, there is a Poseidon Temple on the island, and coastal residents will come here before going to sea.
Pray to the God of the Sea for a safe voyage!
Jing Jingwan looked at the inscription next to the Temple of the Sea, smiled at Qin Yifeng, and teased in a low voice: "I thought you, a pirate, only collect protection fees, but I never thought you could do good deeds!"
This large and magnificent Poseidon Temple was originally built with donations from the Qin family. Qin Yifeng smiled fondly, "Of course, don't forget, I am also a believer in Poseidon!"
Jingjing Wan smiled softly, "Last time you sold the route, you were clearly trying to defraud us businessmen out of our money, and you made it sound like you were doing a good deed, so that we would be willing to pay for it?"
Qin Yifeng felt at ease, "I was originally doing good deeds, but now I am not showing it to you? It can be said that I funded the construction of all the sea temples in Qingyun Sea!"
Jingjing Wan teased: "That's natural. Fishermen need the blessing of the Poseidon, and you, a pirate, need the blessing of the Poseidon even more!"
Qin Yifeng couldn't help laughing, it was so right to bring Wan'er here.
Jingjing Wan saw that the altar table was filled with various offerings, including all kinds of grains, indicating a bumper harvest. The table was filled with chickens, fish, meat and eggs, indicating the prosperity of livestock.
Almost all the residents on the island came, holding scented incense, to worship at the Tanah Lot Temple one by one!
There are also many Taoist priests beating gongs and drums, playing suonas, chanting sutras, and worshiping, so as to communicate with the sea god and seek his blessings.
The fishing boat docked on the shore was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, the sound of firecrackers came and went, and the fishermen on the shore were beating gongs and drums, making it very lively.
Jingjing Wan knew that ordinary fishermen were not afraid of pirates, but that the Poseidon would not protect them. If there was a big storm and waves when they were sailing, it would be a narrow escape. No wonder they worshiped the Poseidon so devoutly.
Qin Yifeng walked through the crowd with excitement and tranquility, his eyes full of tenderness!
"Are you happy tonight?" he asked warmly.
Jingjing Wan nodded, and Bai Xi's cheeks were flushed with excitement, "I never knew that worshiping the God of the Sea was so lively and fun!"
"There will be more fun later!" Qin Yifeng said with a smile.
"What?" Jingjing Wan opened her eyes and asked. Although she was the eldest lady of Jinxiu Villa, it was her first time to see the ceremony of worshiping the God of the Sea, and she couldn't hide her excitement.
Qin Yifeng originally wanted to say, Wan'er likes this place so much, why doesn't she stay here forever?
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again. There was a long time to come. He understood that Wan'er still had many unresolved things. He just wanted to have fun tonight without mentioning those things!
"You'll find out later!" Qin Yifeng deliberately didn't say anything!
Jingjing Wan glared at him, "If you don't tell me, don't tell me. I will know anyway!"
Qin Yifeng looked at Wan'er's fresh and innocent smile like a girl, as beautiful as an orchid, overflowing with fragrance, making people's hearts sway.
