Chapter 287 We Are All Family
"No impact." Xie Jian held Ah Heng's face in his hands, lingering for a moment before saying, "You know, Master's father was involved in a struggle for the throne. Four princes died in that struggle, but Prince Ning and Prince Qing survived unharmed. Do you know why?"
"I know Prince Qing has no intention of fighting for the throne." Shen Heng believed this to be true. "I'm not sure about Prince Ning's words."
"Prince Qing had no interest in the throne. Prince Ning, on the other hand, had ambitions, but he instigated the Third Prince to fight for the throne. He provided the strategy and ultimately escaped unscathed. At the time, Lord Wei realized that Prince Ning was the mastermind behind the plot, so he was framed." This was the truth of the past. Xie Jian sneered, "Prince Ning had a map of the imperial capital in his possession."
"The enemy is right in front of us, but Lord Lu cannot take revenge." Shen Heng murmured.
"This is the Master's choice." He felt inferior to him.
Chen Heng thought of what Lu Ji'an once said, "There are officials in this world who close their eyes, and there are officials who stick to their integrity." With people like Lord Lu, the world is really much more beautiful.
Chen Heng thought again: "Prince Ning has the map of the imperial capital. Could it be that Si Qi married Liu Zhiyue just for this map?"
Ah Heng was always a step behind, Xuan Lang and Wu Jin were both like that, a bit clumsy, so he gave in a little. Xie Jian nodded, "Not bad."
What a scumbag, but the marriage between the two families is for each side to get what they need, and it is rare for it to be for love. Chen Heng said again: "Prince Ning will never give it to him."
"Prince Ning has always wanted to make a comeback." Xie Jian said indifferently: "Unfortunately, there is no right opportunity." There will never be such an opportunity again in the future.
The day after the housewarming party, Shen Heng received many invitations from wives of wealthy families and wives of first-rank officials.
Nanny Feng helped sort them out one by one, telling Chen Heng about each lady's personality and preferences from time to time.
The smile on Nanny's face faded. Shen Heng was holding back the urge to speak. There were still three days left, and she would make sure to make Nanny happy.
That afternoon, the imperial court issued an announcement that the ceremony of conferring the empress would be held in three days.
"Everyone is saying that the Emperor and Empress were so grief-stricken by the late Emperor's successive deaths that the ceremony was delayed until today." Xia Shiyu said, "The current Emperor and Empress are truly filial."
"Is that what everyone says now?" Chen Heng felt that the Queen was quite good at saving face for herself.
Xia nodded.
"I hope the Empress can give birth to a prince soon. Ah Heng, you and Ah Jian also need to pay more attention." Mrs. Xia, whether she is anxious or not, she still has to urge her.
Chen Heng nodded, thinking about taking Xie Jian to see a doctor one day. It had been such a long time, and if one of them had any problems, they should solve them as soon as possible. If they couldn't be solved, they should tell their sister-in-law honestly so that she wouldn't keep worrying about it.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the queen's coronation ceremony.
Early in the morning, Nanny Feng helped Shen Heng get dressed: "Achan, bring over that azure collar."
"yes."
"Madam, have you remembered the etiquette after the wedding ceremony?" Nanny Feng finally brushed Chen Heng's sleeves lightly, and then she was satisfied.
"I remember."
"Madam is so beautiful." Ah Chan looked at the Madam with envy. The more she looked, the more beautiful she became.
