Who among all the young masters in the capital is willing to marry that wooden man? It's hard to say that even asking for help is like a servant reporting to his master.
In addition, he was told to choose the principal concubine and concubine by himself before, but now the emperor directly appointed the candidates, so why did he choose them himself?
What troubled Prince Jing the most was that his father didn't know what he was planning.
Could it be that his father didn't know that Li Wei was Xia Qing's minion? But he still made him and Li Wei his son-in-law. Is this done to weaken Xia Qing's power?
But how could his father know that Li Wei was a loser and would choose to turn to him?
Besides, if I really take Li Wei under my banner, what good will it do to my father as I expand my power? What good will it do to my second brother, the prince?
Prince Jing didn't believe that his father still thought that he had no desires or demands and ignored the government. After all, his father must have been suspicious of the selection of the concubine last time.
Although he did not know his father's specific plans, Prince Jing knew his father's temperament very well.
Everything my father does has deep meaning and he is always calculating, otherwise he would not be able to secure his position in the world.
Everyone said that Xia Qing was a favorite, but was that really the case? In his opinion, Xia Qing was able to become the chief minister only because of the charity from his father.
Yes, it was charity. His father treated Xia Qing like a cat playing with a mouse. He would pick it out for teasing when he was happy, and give him a sweet treat afterwards so that the mouse would be happy and willing to be teased by him next time.
I wasn't happy anymore, and I didn't want to dirty my hands. I let the slaves I raised on weekdays fight with cats, while my father lazily watched the show behind me.
Prince Jing sneered, poor slaves and cats who thought he was so honorable in front of his father!
All of them show off their power on a daily basis, yet they dare to look down on themselves, who are of royal blood.
He also didn't want to think that the blood of the royal Zhao family was flowing in his body. One day, he would let those people see who is the wise master of the world.
After calming down a little, Prince Jing brought his mind back to the matter at hand.
The choice of Li Wei's eldest daughter was something that his father had carefully considered, and it must have some purpose. He still doesn't understand it now, so he needs to go back and think about it carefully.
And why did the father appoint the second brother as the prince instead of the eldest brother? What is the reason here?
Considering that the emperor did not go to Guangning Palace yesterday, Prince Jing felt that his father did this not just to appease Concubine Jing and to embarrass the empress.
Thinking of the rumors in the palace again, King Jing sneered, the Queen couldn't believe she thought it was him who did it!
But he didn't like such petty quarrels at all, and such rumors didn't hurt the queen. Why would he do such a thankless job?
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he sat up straight.
Xiao Chengzi, who was sitting aside, was startled by Prince Jing's sudden little move. He secretly looked at his master, and was shocked to find that a captivating light burst out from his master's eyes.
Then a smile appeared on Prince Jing's lips. I see, it seems that my father is not too satisfied with his second brother!
"Your Highness! You haven't eaten since yesterday. How can you bear this body?"
Xiao Linzi looked at his master with a sad face and whispered cautiously.
The eldest prince, who was sitting in the study and staring out of the window, turned a deaf ear to Xiao Linzi's words. He had been feeling a little unmotivated since going to court yesterday.
Even this morning, he said he was still ill. Why didn't Xiao Linzi feel worried?
His Highness, who used to be high-spirited and energetic, now looks lifeless and unshaven.
The eldest prince didn't want to listen to anything at the moment, he didn't want to care about anything, he just wanted to sit quietly.
"Your Highness, how about you eat something?"
Seeing that the eldest prince still had no reaction, Xiao Linzi had no choice but to quietly retreat, planning to wait for half an hour before asking again.
In fact, the eldest prince looked decadent and lifeless on the outside, but at the moment, he was in a state of turmoil inside.
How did he feel after knowing that the second child became the prince? Anger, unwillingness, and disappointment, of course he would have these emotions.
He didn't know how he smiled and congratulated his second son. The strong unwillingness and anger had filled his entire body.
But he couldn't get angry, let alone show a trace of dissatisfaction, and he had to smile and congratulate, showing his generosity.
Because the officials in the court were watching, the second son and the others were watching, and the father was also watching.
He is the eldest son, so he should set an example. This is what his father often talks about, and has always taught him this way.
Compared to the second child and the others, he used to think that his father loved him the most.
His father taught him so carefully. Wasn't it because he wanted to make him the crown prince in the future, so he spent so much time on it?
What he thought? He thought everything. Now that he thought about it carefully, had his father ever promised him anything?
Those are all his wishful thinking and his extravagant hopes.
But if you have no intention of establishing yourself as the crown prince, then why do you care so much about him and favor him so much?
It gave him hope, but completely drove him into the abyss of despair.
Why didn't his father treat him as coldly as he did to his second brother and the others? He couldn't figure it out. He suddenly realized that he had never understood his father and couldn't see through it at all.
It turns out that everything the father did before was an illusion. Was it to protect the second child and use him as a shield?
The eldest prince suddenly held his forehead. He had been unwilling to admit that this was his father's intention.
But now he had to admit that this was the fact, the truth.
The eldest prince's body trembled slightly. After a long time, he raised his head and opened his red eyes.
"Come here, please invite Master Bian to come over." He looked coldly at the man in black clothes who appeared quietly in the room and ordered.
Compared to the decadence of the eldest prince, the study room in the third prince's residence seemed to have been ransacked.
"Oops! Your Highness, please calm down. It's better for us to think of countermeasures quickly now. Getting angry won't solve the problem!"
Seeing that the third prince was getting angry, no one else in the room dared to come forward.
But the third prince seemed to be furious. He had killed a girl just now, as if he was crazy.
There is no guarantee that he will not become more and more angry in the future, causing him to lose his mind and vent his anger on them.
As a popular figure around the third prince, You Guangzong had to bravely step forward to dissuade him under the hints from other people's eyes.
In fact, You Guangzong is now so ruined that his intestines are green. Back then, he was able to come to the third prince's house as an aide because he was recommended by his clan.
But now he was scolding his clansmen in his heart. If he had known that the third prince was so impulsive and irritable, and regarded human life as an ant, how could he have dared to come to the third prince's house and serve as an aide?
He was really deceived by his clansmen, and he was also dazzled by the glory and wealth of the prince's palace. Otherwise, how could he be in today's crisis? I want to talk with more like-minded people about the peasant family's road to getting rich, WeChat
