Chapter 147 Toffee: A chicken baby is not as good as a chicken itself

System: [The old concubine rushed into the late emperor's bedroom in broad daylight, stunned the late emperor, tied him up, and pointed an oil lamp at the late emperor's... that part. Ahem, you know the key part. The old concubine said directly, "You said that if you broke your oath and didn't make me the queen, you would kill your descendants. Now I am here to enforce justice."]

Yuanruan: [Puff.]

The court officials covered their mouths frantically, and the emperor had passed away only a few years ago.

They never imagined that the former emperor, who was once so powerful and majestic, was actually tied to the bed and threatened by the concubine? !

The Third Prince’s hair almost turned white: Mom, you once did something that almost cost you your head.

Yuan Ruan: [What happens next? This won’t end well, right?]

System: [Well, it’s okay actually. Because the concubine was particularly overbearing when she was young, and she did this kind of thing more than once or twice. The late emperor was furious for a while. But he digested his emotions by himself.]

Yuanruan: [Ah? Self-digested?]

The system continued: [Yes. And the late emperor had complicated feelings towards the dowager, mixed with love, admiration and comradeship, so after being angry, the late emperor promised the dowager that if she became pregnant, he would give her the position of empress. The dowager compromised, and then the matter was over.]

The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the courtiers: !!!

The late emperor?

You were tied up and threatened to have your penis burned, and you just let it go so calmly?

Is your harem relationship so wild?!

Yuan Ruan: [This late emperor... this concubine... one is so reckless and the other is so forgiving, I don't know who to complain about! ]

System: [One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten?! But they have a life-saving grace after all. 】

Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Life-saving grace? How do you say that? ]

System: [Do you know? Originally, there was a small country in the southwest of Daxia, Han. Before the late emperor went to war, Han and Daxia had fought back and forth, and Han was mostly victorious. As a result, after the late emperor went to war, Han was directly destroyed in two years. In an instant, the late emperor's power and reputation in Xia reached its peak. It was also because of this that the late emperor was envied by the previous prince. ]

At this point, the system paused before continuing: [Ah, I've strayed from the topic. Ahem, the Concubine Dowager was a daughter of a general and had always fought on the front lines in disguise as a man. She had saved the late emperor several times and had led troops to transport military supplies many times. Her father and brother had also led 500,000 lions to support the emperor. The whole family was trusted by the late emperor.]

Yuan Ruan held his face with his hands: [So fierce! It's strange that the Third Prince couldn't become the emperor. ]

The Third Prince felt a tingling sensation on his back: ...

You can't say that!

System: [Haha, I know the reason. In fact, the Queen Mother was not a lay-back type at first. Especially after she became pregnant and gave birth to the Third Prince, she was ambitious and wanted the Third Prince to ascend the throne.]

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

When the Third Prince heard this, he almost choked on the preserved fruit in his mouth, especially when he stole a glance at the Emperor's expression.

My mother doesn’t!

My mother worships Buddha every day and never forces me to study, write or practice martial arts. She is the most open-minded mother in the world! System, please stop spreading rumors about my mother!

The Third Prince sat on the ground and stared at the Emperor bitterly, with a look that showed "My family doesn't think so! If you're unhappy, I can kneel down right away to make you happy."

The emperor closed his eyes in disgust.

Yuan Ruan took a sip of water with interest: [Oh, what made Toffee give up? ]

System: [It is the Third Prince himself. ]

Everyone: ???

The court officials looked at the Third Prince in surprise. They didn't expect that the Third Prince was so indifferent to fame and fortune.

The Third Prince himself was also confused, huh? Did the Mother ask him if he wanted to fight for the throne?

He pondered over it, and after thinking it over, he could only recall those few words his mother said, "Get out! Stand away from me." "You're making me so mad!" "Just live under the emperor's feet and carry on the family line. Don't think too much."... She never asked him whether he wanted to seize the throne.

Yuanruan also began to think.

She suddenly thought of the parents of modern Peking University and Tsinghua University PhDs, who raised children who ranked last in math scores and watched parenting videos.

Yuan Ruan rubbed his chubby face and said, [Third Prince? Could it be that the Third Prince himself is not doing well? ]

System: [Hehe, that's right. After the Third Prince was born, the Queen Mother made a strict study plan for him, such as being able to recite the "Book of Songs" and "Three Character Classic" by the time he was one year old.]

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [The Concubine and my brother must have a lot in common. ]

System: [Aruan is right. Then the Concubine Dowager began a difficult tutoring life, but she had a beautiful idea. The Third Prince’s memory was not up to par. For example, other princes could recite the Three Character Classic in seven days at the latest. But the Third Prince only managed to recite it after three months. The Concubine Dowager was relieved, but she fell ill with a high fever the next day.]

The Third Prince's face flushed instantly.

At this time, not only the civil officials, but even the military officers looked at the Third Prince in surprise. This study efficiency was really a bit...

The system continued: [The Concubine Dowager started to teach the Third Prince from the Three Character Classic, then the Book of Songs, and then half of the Book of Music... For a full year and a half, the Concubine Dowager, who once did not know what illness was, fell ill six times in a year. The most serious one, which was also the last one, was when the Concubine Dowager used the Book of History to talk about politics with the Third Prince. As a result, she was so angry at the Third Prince's answer that her pupils bled. At that time, the palace was in chaos, and the imperial physician said several times that the Concubine Dowager was in critical condition. In the end, when the Concubine Dowager luckily saved her life, she completely gave up the idea of ​​letting the Third Prince become the emperor.]

Yuan Ruan: [Pfft. After thinking about it, life is more important. I understand. I understand it very much.]

System: [Later, the Concubine thought that since he could not be the Emperor, she chose a good place for the Third Prince to be a duke, so that he could manage talents and let talents help the Third Prince govern the country. Until the Concubine found out that the Third Prince was fooled by three palace maids, two eunuchs, and two housekeepers. The Concubine could not believe it and sent people to test the Third Prince several times, and found that the Third Prince was fooled accurately. The Concubine did not sleep all night, and gave up the idea of ​​letting the Third Prince leave the imperial city the next day. She felt that if she kept him by her side and watched him, at least she would not be the one to send him away.]

Yuanruan: [Pfft, hahahaha…grabbing the bamboo shoots. ]

System: [Yes. But the Concubine still couldn't rest. She felt that she couldn't raise the baby, so she could only raise herself. Fortunately, the Concubine always raised herself, and the Third Prince's mansion was almost raided twice, but she managed to get it out both times.]

Yuanruan: [Huh? Tell me more.]

Everyone's eyes lit up: !!!

Is there any way to avoid the disaster of house confiscation?

Speak out loud and let us learn from it.
