Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1200 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 124

Big Fat Ju's defense was broken. He knew without thinking who the two children Jiang Xinxin was talking about were. One was Honghui, and the other was the child that Nian Shilan conceived when she was in the palace, but he conspired with the Queen Mother and had Concubine Duan abort the child by drinking a bowl of safflower soup.

But he was the emperor after all, and he was the one who held all the power and had the final say. Fat Orange soon realized that Jiang Xinxin was deliberately provoking him, so he laughed in anger: "You are asking for death."

Jiang Xinxin was really speechless, and she didn't even bother to roll her eyes, "If you say so, then so be it."

"It's just that if I want to die, why should I ask for death? Especially to you."

Big Fat Orange didn't comment, "If you say it's not, then it's not."

"As you said, I am the emperor. I don't need to pursue anything deliberately. Many things will be placed in front of me for me to choose from."

Jiang Xinxin understood the pain, and smiled expectantly: "Can you choose your parents' expectations and preferences?"

The fat orange's eyes were stern. Although he was indeed a little defensive, he would not let himself really lose his composure in front of Jiang Xinxin, "That's not my fault."

Jiang Xinxin understood what Big Fat Ju meant. He thought that he had done everything he should and could do, and his parents' attitude towards him was a problem related to the late emperor and the empress dowager.

This old guy actually learned how to decompose the topic without any guidance. However, Jiang Xinxin would not let Big Fat Orange off easily, so she continued to ask, "But Prince Li doesn't have to do anything. Even the fact that you were able to ascend to the throne in the late emperor's later years was probably because the late emperor saw that you had a good relationship with Prince Li. Do you really not mind?"

Big Fat Orange just rolled up his sleeves and left, leaving Jiang Xinxin with a series of hearty laughter like silver bells.

The New Year was approaching, and Concubine Qi did not impose any punishment. Instead, Qingying received several beautiful girls from the Han army flag who were personally selected by Dapangju. They were sent to the Third Prince under the name of Jiang Xinxin to be princesses.

When Qingying saw that the person who came was the aunt with the surname Fang in the imperial court, she knew that this was the decision of Dapangju. No matter whose decision it was, she accepted it with a smile without any reluctance. After the aunt went back to report to Dapangju, Dapangju was a little surprised.

Thinking of Chunyuan and Jiang Xinxin, and then comparing them with Qingying, Big Fat Orange couldn't help feeling melancholy again.

Seeing the four new princesses, Ah Ruo felt somewhat uncomfortable. She couldn't help but complain to Qingying behind her back, "Princess, this emperor is really something. After all, you gave him a legitimate grandson, why is he still causing trouble for you!"

Qingying also agreed with this in her heart, but she also knew that it was probably the rumors about her and Concubine Qi's discord that made Da Pangju unhappy, so she solemnly reminded Ah Ruo: "The Emperor probably remembers the things that happened between me and Concubine Qi. You can just talk about it in my room, and don't say a word outside."

Ah Ruo readily agreed: "I know, I remember it all."

As she spoke, Ah Ruo thought of the four new princesses and said to Qingying, "As long as the four new princesses are not as lawless as Tian, ​​I won't say anything. I'm just afraid that someone will be flattered by the Third Prince and lose their heads and go against you, princess."

Qingying sighed, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think."

"The four new princesses are all from the Han army banner, not from the bannermen. Their children will have a chance in the future, and they will definitely not be left alone."

Ah Ruo also remembered this and couldn't help but grit her teeth: "...The emperor is really ungracious. As a eunuch, he actually stared at his son's harem!"

Qingying quickly interrupted Ah Ruo, "What are you talking about? Shut up!"

After saying this, she couldn't help but soften her tone, "I know you feel sorry for me, but the Emperor is not an ordinary eunuch. The Third Prince is his son, but he is more of a subject. Simple fathers and sons can still have room for discussion, but there is no room for subjects and the king."

Ah Ruo was not an ignorant person. After hearing Qingying's words, she could only feel aggrieved by herself, and even more aggrieved for Qingying: "So we can only watch those four newcomers do something weird?"

Qingying held Ah Ruo's hand and said with a smile, "After all, I am also the Third Lady, the mistress of these three houses. I indulged Tian, ​​but after all, she was born in a bannerman family, and no amount of pampering would help. But now that the four Han army flags have entered the house, do you think Tian will be the first to bear the brunt and be affected?"

A Ruo understood Qingying's meaning as soon as she thought about it, and naturally she was not so anxious anymore.

After the New Year, while the court was busy with snow disaster relief, Big Fat Ju did not forget to issue an edict to confer the title of Prince Duan on the third prince Hongshi, the title of Prince Bao on the fourth prince Hongli, and the title of Prince He on the fifth prince Hongzhou. He also issued an edict to allow Prince Duan and Prince He to move out of the palace and build their own residences. Only Prince Bao Hongli and the immature princes under him stayed in the palace to live together.

In this way, even if Big Fat Orange did not enthrone a crown prince, everyone knew that the next emperor would definitely be Prince Bao Hongli.

This also put an end to the controversy over the succession to the crown prince in the court, and those people who had been offended by the newly-appointed Prince Bao because of the debt collection no longer dared to openly make things difficult for Prince Bao. On the contrary, they presented expensive gifts and went to the crown prince as soon as possible to make themselves familiar to him.

Prince Duan Hongshi still couldn't accept the reality that he, the eldest son, had been abandoned so early. But Concubine Qi was unable to appease him, and even continued to add fuel to the fire, and her words always revealed some resentment towards Fatty Ju.

Even though Prince Duan was stupid, he knew that his resentment towards his father and emperor, Dapangju, must not be spread out, so the first time he personally took action to shut up everyone in Changchun Palace.

However, this was the first time he had done something serious, and Concubine Qi's Changchun Palace must have been drilled like a sieve. Everyone liked to send people to Changchun Palace just to find out about the embarrassing moments between Concubine Qi and Prince Duan's mother and son, and to listen to the confrontation between Concubine Qi and Prince Duan's wife Qingying.

So it was no surprise that what happened in Changchun Palace spread throughout the harem once again. However, everyone knew the seriousness of the matter and dared not spread it outside, and only kept it to themselves.

Qingying knew that this day would come a long time ago, and she was looking forward to leaving the palace and building her own house. In Prince Duan's mansion, she was the all-powerful hostess. Not only could she often invite her family members to visit, but she could also go out of the house to play.

Ah Ruo was also happy. Although the palace was not bad, the Qianxi Sanzuo was definitely much worse than a proper prince's mansion. "At least we don't have to see those princesses every day."

"Fujin, you can't be so kind as to let them live in separate courtyards. You should put Tian in a separate courtyard and tell the others that only the favored ones can have the honor of living in a separate courtyard. Otherwise, they will unite with Tian to target our main courtyard."

Qingying agreed readily.

She was about to leave the palace. She had previously used the weather as an excuse for not taking Yongxi to Changchun Palace. This excuse could still be used now, because there was a sudden cold snap in the past two days.
