Chapter 298: Chapter 298, the Emperor wants to change the crown prince
Qiao Jinniang thought that she had made it very clear. There were many women in the palace who wanted to enter the Eastern Palace. “Since you are stupid, the palace can not keep stupid people!”Qiao Jinniang did not give her any face at all. “My father is still the Shannan Jiedushi Ambassador, the Crown Princess Consort...” Qiao Jin laughed lightly and said, “Do you want to compete with me in terms of Father?” When she said this, she felt that she had a bit of the aura of someone who bullied others and pampered the consort in the writings of Layman Autumn Moon. However, this little sister was truly laughable. When the daughter of the Shannan Jiedushi heard this, she wept with grievance. The Crown Princess Consort had used the Qiao family’s power to argue in front of the Empress. The Empress would definitely punish the Crown Princess Consort. However, Empress Zhou smiled faintly and said, “If you think that your father is no match for her father, you can also fight against your mother.” Empress Qiao looked gratefully at Empress Zhou. She regretted saying it out loud just now. She had only said it out loud because she was pregnant, hot, and angry. Fortunately, not only did her mother-in-law not blame her, but she also found something to make up for it. Otherwise, those scholars and imperial censorates would have been in a book. The group of beautiful women lowered their heads and put away their thoughts. After all, whether it was their family background or looks or the emperor’s great-grandson, they could not compete with each other. Why bother to provoke the Crown Princess’dislike? It was better to be a female official in the palace. Just as the Crown Princess said, a woman who was self-reliant might not necessarily have a bad life after leaving the palace. The eldest daughter of the Shannan Jiedushi was chased out, and the crown princess made a name for herself as a fool. who dared to stir up trouble. Many officials hoped that the crown prince would choose a few people to fill up the crown prince’s harem. Seeing that it was really a selection of palace maids, the snow-like manuscripts were placed on the emperor’s desk. The emperor flipped through a book and threw one away. Empress Zhou picked up the manuscripts and said, “You should be happy too. These kinds of manuscripts can only mean that great Tang is doing well and that there are no disasters everywhere. That’s why they are all such manuscripts.” Hui Lindi said, “Why are there no problems? Isn’t it a matter for the Xie family to compile the memorials? Isn’t the new commercial law a matter? Since Xiliang has become a vassal state, it is also a matter for Xiliang to negotiate and issue laws.”. “Also, the officials implicated in the rebellion of King Huai have yet to be replaced. “There are a lot of matters in the state, and there’s even that old fool, Lin Xiang, who said that it was my six palaces’favor that made Chen ‘er not take in a concubine...” The empress said, “Lin Xiang is right.” The Hui Lin Emperor said, “I thought that they had stopped for the past few years, but it turns out that they are waiting for Chen ‘er to block me. Look, they even have the chance to impeach Princess Qi, Consort Chu. They are openly and secretly saying that I have a bad example.” “Just looking at it makes my eyes hurt!” The Empress placed the memorials on the Hui Lin Emperor’s table one by one and said, “Chen ‘er has grown up. You have seen it for yourself in these two years. He is also very good at handling memorials. Why don’t we let Chen ‘er have a headache now?”? Hearing the Jinniang mention the delicacies of the Jiangnan water villages in Lin ‘an, I always wanted to try them myself. Since I am still young, I can still move around. Why Don’t you let Chen ‘er rule the country. “You and I will go on a trip to the mountains and rivers, dress incognito, and pay a private visit. We will see the beautiful scenery of the Tang empire. Perhaps you will be able to write many poems that will be passed down from generation to generation. “Seeing the customs of the local people and serving justice, why are you so distressed?” The Hui Lin Emperor said, “If you didn’t say these words, I’m afraid your head would be gone. How did you learn to be so bold like the Jin Niang? You know very well that I...” “If your Majesty really has the ability, then just come and chop off my head. Your Majesty’s virtuous reputation is known throughout the world. The history books will already leave your Majesty with the good reputation of the Hui Lin prosperous era. Why do you have to be so obsessed with power and not let go and be trapped here for your entire life?” Empress Zhou said, “When I entered the palace that year, I envied elder sister for being able to travel around the world. Unlike me, I haven’t been to many places. Even the imperial concubine has gone to more places than me.” The Hui Lin Emperor said in a deep voice, “Let me think about it for a moment. Chen ‘er has been missing for three years. I don’t know if he can shoulder this great responsibility alone.” “He’s just supervising the country. He can’t shoulder this great responsibility. You and I can just come back again.” The Hui Lin Emperor said, “This little ingrate has married a wife and forgotten about his parents. It’s time for him to accept my hard work.” In the Eastern Palace, Qiao Jinniang felt that her eyelids had been twitching violently for the past few days. “Money is jumping out of her left eye. The Empress is going to be rich,”lu he said as she brought some tonic to Qiao Jinniang. Qiao jinniang said, “But I am jumping out of my right eye.” Yu Yan smiled and said, “Then the empress is going to be rich.” Qiao jinniang said, “Maybe I read too many books written by Qiu Yue Yesterday. How could I be so superstitious?” At this time, Hong Ling came in to pass on the news that old madam Qiao had come to see her. Qiao Jinniang repeatedly announced old madam Qiao to come in. When Old Madam Qiao came, she brought a lot of clothes for babies, both male and female. Old Madam Qiao exchanged a few pleasantries before explaining her purpose of coming. “The Crown Prince’s wife is about to give birth. She shouldn’t have come to disturb you. However, His Majesty has recently summoned the vassal kings, envoys and high officials from all over the world to come to Chang ‘an. He has also invited Prince Laogong, who is one of Luoyang’s relatives, back to Chang ‘an. The people of the Xu family received an imperial edict on their way back to Yunzhou and rushed back to Chang ‘an. “I’m afraid that something big is going to happen in Chang ‘an. I wonder if the consort has heard any news?” Qiao Jinniang was relieved these days. She had been waiting to give birth. She had never heard of such a thing happening outside the palace. Old Madam Qiao said, “His Majesty did this in secret. I only found out about it after I received a letter from the Xu family. His Majesty passed down Secret Edicts.” Qiao Jinniang said, “His Majesty summoned them to Chang ‘an. is he going to abdicate?” Old Madam Qiao turned pale with fright and said, “Jinniang, how dare you say that?” Old Madam Qiao swept her gaze over the palace maids at the side and warned them fiercely, not letting them leak any information. Feeling the child kicking herself, the Jinniang said, “What else could it be? Could it be that father is going to change the Crown Prince?” Old Madam Qiao nodded and said, “That is our guess. The Qiao family has always been loyal. Jinniang, grandmother has let you down. She has failed to take care of you when you were growing up, and she can’t Help You Protect His Highness’crown prince position now. “However, it’s not difficult to protect your well-being. You have to advise His Highness not to act Rashly. After all, there is the relationship between father and son. “The late Emperor was also abandoned when he was crown prince, but in the end, he still became the Emperor.” Qiao Jin advised, “Grandmother, don’t blame yourself. His Highness and I will not do anything against you.” Then, she was puzzled, “It’s just that it shouldn’t be. He was still fine when he was eating in his mother’s palace yesterday. Who can he give the position of crown prince to?” Looking at his father’s current princes, which one of them could compare to Lu Chen? Consort Qi and Consort Qi caused a ruckus in the Prince’s mansion every day for the sake of taking in concubines. Now, King Chu was busy with Consort Chu and had no interest in public affairs every day. King Lu was so stupid that he rarely participated in palace banquets. King Yong was digging iron mines in the northwest. King Huai had already been beheaded. After thinking about it, only king su had the ability to be the crown prince. However, when the capital was moved to Luoyang, King Su had originally stayed behind to protect Chang ‘an. King Huai’s troops had not even come, so he had fled to Luoyang with his eldest grandson. Even if he had some talent, it would still be difficult to convince the masses to make him the crown prince by selling the capital in such a hurry!
