Chapter 988


The second prince's mother, Concubine De, and the third prince's mother, concubine Liang, both talked about their sons' marriages in the emperor's ears. They said openly and secretly that the emperor could not treat one favorably. They were both his sons. The princes were all getting married. Seeing that The emperor's grandson is about to be born, and the marriage of the remaining children will also be put on the agenda.

This time the emperor was not unhappy, and directly arranged marriages for the second and third princes. One principal concubine and two concubines. The remaining vacant seats in the backyard were left to his two sons. Anyway, they themselves There are many old people around.

After receiving the imperial decree granting marriage, the second prince and the third prince both looked constipated. In fact, the candidate for their head wife was far from what they expected, and it could even be said that it had nothing to do with it.

Although the two wives are both legitimate daughters of third-rank official families, it is a pity that the other's father is not working in the real power department. It can only be said that he is good-looking in appearance, but does not help them at all internally.

Although the two concubines are the legitimate second daughters of noble families, these noble families have long been glamorous on the outside, but they are not what they used to be on the inside. There are even two families who have begun to make a living by selling their ancestral property. , what’s the use of marrying such a wife and concubine?

But this is the emperor's order. If you dare to show your face, you will be labeled as disobeying the holy will and disobeying the order. The two of them did not dare to bet on their father's preference for them, so they could only hold their noses and admit it. .

When the news reached the ears of the prince, he felt better. As long as his father was on his side, he would be more sure of taking that position in the future.

Lianyi happened to receive a letter and a New Year's gift from General Meng at the border, as well as a bunch of supplements. After all, her daughter was pregnant, so parents would naturally have to show off.

The letter is just an ordinary family letter. In addition to informing Lianyi that everything is fine at home, allowing her to raise the baby with peace of mind and support the prince, it also gives some instructions on raising the baby, which shows that she loves her daughter.

After reading the list of New Year gifts, Lianyi asked Grandma Sun to check it out and store it in the warehouse. She found a few suitable items and sent them to Fengqi Palace and the Imperial Study Room as a token of appreciation from her daughter-in-law.

Lianyi was meeting a middle-aged nanny who came with the motorcade at this time. The letter was a cover-up, and it was this person who really came to deliver the news.

"Mother Cai, how are your parents?"

Lianyi's belly had swollen at this time, showing the state of a pregnant woman. She sat back and asked with a smile. At this time, only Grandma Sun was beside her, and Lanzhi was guarding the door.

"Both General Meng and his wife are in good health. However, after the young lady got married, the madam became ill for a period of time. However, after receiving the news that the Crown Princess arrived in the imperial city successfully, the madam recovered. "

Mama Cai replied respectfully.

"That's good. It's unfilial for a daughter to marry far away. I feel relieved knowing that my parents are in good health."

Lianyi pinched the handkerchief and said.

"General Meng asked the old slave to give a message to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess only needs to serve the Crown Prince with peace of mind, do her duty well, and not get involved in other things."

That's all. This is the key point that Grandma Cai wants to say.

"I understand what my father means, but sometimes I can't help myself. I don't want to participate, but I am the Crown Princess. When they fight, they will definitely take me with them."
< br>

Ripple said helplessly.

Then he nodded to Grandma Sun and asked her to tell her what happened after she married into the East Palace.

Mama Cai also frowned as she listened. The matter was indeed a bit tricky.

"Mommy has also seen that I am pregnant now. No matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, my position as the crown princess is stable. If the baby is a boy, then the position will be the same in the future. You can think about it.

For me, whether it is better for a person with the blood of the Meng family to take that position or for someone else to take that position, I believe my father knows better than me. ”

What Lianyi said was extremely disrespectful, but Grandma Cai did not refute, and Grandma Sun beside her did not say anything.

"The old slave already understands what the Crown Princess means, and will definitely take her words back." "Well, you'd better leave as soon as possible after taking a day off. The second and third princes are also getting married recently. I'm afraid this imperial city will be lively and chaotic for a while. You'd better not get caught up in the disputes."

"Yes, I understand!"

After seeing off Aunt Cai, Lianyi began to care for her baby with peace of mind. This time there were three in her belly, so she couldn't be careless. She was sure that she would give birth prematurely.

Aunt Cai listened to the advice, rested for a day, and embarked on the return journey on the third day. She had to take those words back.

When the prince dined with Lianyi in the evening, he specifically asked about the people coming to Lianyi's home. Lianyi waved his hand and asked all the servants in the dining room to go out, leaving Quanfu and Grandma Sun guarding the door. He handed the family letter to the prince.

"Lianyi, this is your family letter, I don't read it properly."

"Your Highness is my husband, we are husband and wife, there is nothing important that we cannot read, and there is nothing important written in it. "

Lianyi said while drinking the ginseng soup.

The prince smiled and read the letter from home, then folded the letter back and said:

"Lianyi, you have sent all the servants away, but what do you have to say to me alone?"
< br>Lianyi nodded, very cautiously whispered in the prince's ear:

"Your Highness, my father specially asked someone to bring me a message, saying that he was on the prince's side."

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard these words. General Meng's words are very important. They represent military power and the 300,000 troops at the border.

"Your Highness, Lianyi is your wife. We are husband and wife. We are both prosperous and devastated. But before you really ascended to that position, my father meant for us to keep a low profile.

Although the emperor gave us By granting the marriage, you can expressly agree that my father supports you, but the emperor is still in power after all, and he doesn't like his ministers to take sides at this time, otherwise it will be self-defeating and ruin His Highness's good deeds."
< br>Lianyi could only say these words to the prince alone, so she found this suitable time. Although General Meng meant exactly the opposite, she refused to say so. From now on, she would pave the way for herself.

After hearing this, the prince nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood what his father-in-law meant, and that it was in his interest to do so.

“Don’t worry, Lianyi, I know what to do.”

"My father also said that, whether publicly or privately, in the past two years, he asked me not to contact the family too frequently, as long as I maintain normal contact with my distantly married daughter.

Especially the prince. You can’t take the initiative to contact my father. Don’t let others take advantage of it and accuse him of forming a clique for personal gain. Then His Highness’s previous efforts will be in vain.”

Lianyi added.

"Okay, I understand what my father-in-law means, listen to his old man."

After finishing the meal, the prince felt reassured. After the morning court the next day, he I went to pay my respects to the queen and mentioned this matter in a vague way.

The queen was very satisfied after hearing this, but also reminded the prince:

"General Meng only made the decision to take sides after learning that Lianyi was pregnant. I can understand this. After all, there is a possibility of his future grandson." To get to that supreme position, he must take a gamble.”
