Chapter 1548 Riding the East Wind
“Is the news true?”
The queen asked after being stunned for a moment.
"It's true! Luo Panguo also sent an envoy here to invite Daqian to watch the ceremony."
Mother Gong replied respectfully.
"How did His Majesty decide?"
"I don't know, but when I returned to Fengyi Palace, I saw the eldest prince being invited to the royal study by Eunuch Laifu."
Gong Mao Grandma lowered her voice and said.
"Send someone to send a message to the eldest prince, saying that I invite him to come to Fengyi Palace for dinner."
"Yes, your Majesty."
After the palace maid retired, the queen stared out the window in a daze.
Another Concubine Rong, who was paying attention to the eldest prince's whereabouts, also received the news, and she suddenly felt something was not good.
Ever since the Empress recovered from her illness, she has begun to seize the power of the harem. Because her rank has always been lower than that of the Empress, she has been robbed of many rights overtly or covertly. She has also resisted, but unfortunately the Emperor has not stood by her. aside.
Concubine Rong knew in her heart that the emperor dotes on her, but as long as it involves court affairs, she will definitely not be able to interfere. Now that her son has grown up, although the chance is slim, she still wants to fight for her son. In her eyes, her son is also a prince, and is no worse than the eldest prince.
Three days later, Concubine Rong's feeling came true. Emperor Qian decreed that Qian Zhaoning should be crowned prince and allowed him to go to court to listen to politics.
Concubine Rong tore her handkerchief to pieces. She was really unwilling to give in. The third prince also came to see his mother-in-law with a gloomy face, hoping that her mother-in-law could help him make up his mind.
Before, Princess Anping and her relative Luo Panguo, and the Empress were bedridden again. Concubine Rong and the third prince both guessed that the emperor was suppressing the Nangong family and promoting them for the sake of balance between the court and the harem.
Concubine Rong saw clearly and didn't mind. She and the family behind her were still valuable, which proved that her son had a chance to compete.
But now that Anping has established a firm foothold in Luo Panguo and even controlled the government of Luo Panguo, the good situation she managed before has changed. Emperor Qian actually directly named the eldest prince the prince.
This was something she had not expected. She had always thought that because of Anping's arrogant and careless temper, she would be lucky to be alive after going to Luo Pan. Unexpectedly, Anping not only lived well, but also mastered something. The power of the country, she regretted not taking action earlier to eliminate the prince's help, but now it is too late.
Another person who was deeply moved was the Queen. She asked her son to have dinner with her that day, just to ask her daughter about Princess Anping, but she got a big surprise.
“Ning’er, are you saying that your father wants to make you the crown prince?”
Qian Zhaoning nodded with a smile. Although he was very restrained, from the inside out The joy you exude can't be fooled.
The queen was also surprised, but she still asked:
"The queen mother mentioned the matter of making you the prince twice to your father, but he did not respond clearly. This time it is Why did your father make up his mind?"
After hearing this, Qian Zhaoning stopped smiling slightly and took a sip of tea before saying:
"Mother, my father was able to make up his mind this time because of the news from the emperor sister."
“You mean Anping?”
“Yes.”
“But because she became the Queen Mother of Luo Panguo?”
The queen had some vague guesses.
"Yes, and the imperial sister also sent a message back, saying that she was given ten years. After she completely controls Luo Panguo, she will bring the entire Luopanguo back to Daqian and let Luopanguo Become a part of Da Qian, and the condition for her to do this is to let my father make me the crown prince!" Qian Zhaoning was still a little emotional when he said this. He didn't expect that his sister would be in such a situation for him, but he had nothing to do to help. The sister who married far away.
After hearing what her son said, the queen felt mixed emotions in her heart. She had abandoned her daughter for her son, but her daughter was able to help her son regardless of past grudges. This made her happy at the same time. I also felt a little guilty towards my daughter.
Qian Zhaoning saw that the heat was almost done, so he turned to the topic:
"Mother, my sister is connected by blood with me. She is the person closest to me besides my father and my mother. She will definitely not harm me. Don't be too harsh on your sister. Let the past go by.
This time the mother does not invite her son to come for dinner, but her son will also come to see you. There are some things he still wants to tell you. "
The queen saw that the prince was so solemn, and she was also serious. Said:
"You say."
"Mother, after the announcement of making her son the prince comes down tomorrow, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at her son, especially Concubine Rong and the third prince. , they will definitely not give up.
As many people had sided with them before, they had received as many benefits and compliments as they could, and now they would be unwilling to do so.
As long as their son does not succeed to the throne, they will keep a close eye on his son, waiting to catch his son's excuses and mistakes, so his son will be more cautious in his words and deeds in the future.
The son and his mother are in the palace, and with his father and emperor around, Concubine Rong will not be able to do anything, but the Nangong family outside the palace may become an excuse for them to attack their son.
Mother, you and your father should be most aware of your father’s attitude towards the Nangong family, so it’s best for your mother to keep a certain distance from the Nangong family and act like normal relatives, but don’t reveal anything to them. News from the court. ”
Qian Zhaoning explained the reason in detail.
The queen was born in the Nangong family, and she still has feelings for the Nangong family. Now after hearing what her son said, she was also very embarrassed:
“Ning’er, what if you didn’t get the lower grade without the support of the Nangong family? ?”
Qian Zhaoning immediately frowned and said:
“Mother, the son’s position as prince was given by his father, and it has nothing to do with whether his uncle’s family is the Nangong family. Don’t say this. Let the father know.”
The queen also knew that the relationship between the royal family and the aristocratic family was tense, but she was afraid that her son would not be able to grasp the real power without the support of the Nangong family.
"Son, you must always have useful people around you."
"Don't worry, mother, your son has already started to be trained, and the father will also assign some capable people to his son. This matter cannot be rushed."
After Qian Zhaoning finished speaking, he was afraid that his mother would not understand, so he whispered in her ear:
"Mother, my father has not yet abdicated the throne. If his son is eager to take his place, instead, It will be counterproductive."
The queen was startled, and then she understood what her son meant, and she nodded:
"Ning'er, you are right. It is best to plan this matter slowly and steadily without making any mistakes."
The mother and son reached an agreement, and then they talked about going to Luo Panguo to watch the ceremony. .
"My father will send envoys there and send congratulatory gifts to express Daqian's respect."
"It just so happens that I have sorted out the utensils that your sister used to use and added one or two more. A decent congratulatory gift will be sent with the team when the time comes.
You can also prepare a congratulatory gift, it doesn’t matter how expensive it is, it just needs to be able to express your gratitude to your sister.”
"Well, that's what my father said. My son came here to discuss this matter with his mother."
"Okay, my mother will help you with the details."
Daqian because Luo Lu took advantage of Shishi and Lianyi cooperated to take back the three previously occupied cities. When they went to the court and down to the common people, they felt very happy and felt a bad breath.
However, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government knew very well that Daqian was still the one who suffered the loss. They even took away three cities with them when they got married in Anping!
