"What if it's another daughter?" The second prince really didn't want his daughter to die at the hands of her own mother.
The emperor obviously thought of the viciousness of his son's concubine at this time, "I will have someone take good care of her when the time comes."
The Second Prince had no fear of being monitored by his father in the backyard. Anyway, he rarely even discussed serious matters in the Second Prince's Mansion.
"Then I am relieved."
After the second prince finished speaking, he bowed and prepared to leave.
The emperor was already tired of reading memorials, and now he knew that he would not live for many more years. He was even less willing to do this job:
"Since you're already here, help your father review the memorials before you leave! This will be your job in a few years anyway."
The Second Prince said honestly, "Father will surely live a long life! Now that we know, I will take orders and go to war, while Father will stay in Yuan'an to guard the rear."
"No, that won't do. I've been looking forward to leading the army myself for a long time, so don't argue with me. Besides, you've never fought a war before, so it would be bad if you messed up the plan."
When the emperor heard the news, he wanted to lead the army himself. He wanted to see what kind of battle could cause him to die on the battlefield.
Thinking about the intense battle, the emperor felt so excited that his blood started to boil.
"Father!" The second prince's tone was full of anxiety and helplessness.
The Emperor threw a memorial to the Second Prince and said, "Hurry up and read it. There are still so many years to go! Why are you in such a hurry? We will definitely have to deal with it based on the specific circumstances."
The Second Prince thought about it and realized that there were indeed many variables in the years to come. He found a seat at the bottom and began to deal with the memorials seriously.
In fact, the Second Prince had been exposed to these memorials for a long time, but in the past he had only read memorials of greeting or unimportant ones. In the past year or so, it was obvious that the memorials he read were becoming more and more important.
Zhou Qiongyue also knew what was happening in the Second Prince's Mansion at this time. It was Duan Jianing who gave her the information.
Don't underestimate the control a queen has over the prince's palace.
After Zhou Qiongyue read it, she burned it.
In Zhou Qiongyue's opinion, even if Xie Zixin really gave birth to a son, she would definitely not be the first one to be anxious.
Anyway, there was no way she could become a knife in anyone's hands.
It was already evening when the second prince came out of the palace, but tonight was a night that many people could not sleep.
The emperor also issued an imperial decree in the evening, giving the title of Marquis Cheng'en directly to the crown prince Zhou Wencan, and the title of Marquis Sheng'en also to the crown prince Sun Zhenghao.
Only the title of Marquis Xuanping still belonged to him. This was mainly because his eldest son was currently a cripple and his grandson was still young, so the title could not be passed down. So Marquis Xuanping had to do it himself.
When the Marquis Cheng'en and Marquis Sheng'en, who were forced to give up their titles, received the imperial edict, they were stunned. They had done nothing recently, so why were they forced to give up their titles?
What bad intentions could the emperor have? He just wants to give young people more opportunities.
The happiest people were Zhou Wencan and Sun Zhenghao. This was truly a blessing from heaven.
But the reactions of Marquis Cheng'en and Marquis Sheng'en were different. Marquis Cheng'en was very angry and aggrieved, while Marquis Sheng'en was like, "I finally don't have to get up early to attend court? Peaceful!"
When Zhou Qiongyue received the news, she jumped for joy a few times, losing none of her usual dignity. From now on, her father would finally be the one in charge of the Cheng'en Marquisate.
Early the next morning, the two old marquises and the two new marquises from the two marquisates came to the palace to express their gratitude.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all looked happy about this matter.
However, the wife of Marquis Cheng'en also came to the palace early in the morning with a sign and cried to her daughter.
The Queen had already guessed that her mother, Lady Liu, would be entering the palace today, and she exempted the concubines from paying their respects early in the morning.
Although the queen was mentally prepared, she still felt a little headache when her mother Liu came in and started crying.
"Mother, we are in the palace. Isn't it just giving the title to my eldest brother? Father is so old. Isn't it good for him to stay at home with you?"
The Queen simply didn't understand why there was any need to cry. The eldest brother was both capable and resourceful. If she let him take over earlier, maybe he could help Chen'er in the future.
My father’s ability is really average, what’s the point of having a title!
"Then...then what about your third brother?"
Mrs. Liu was really worried about her youngest son Zhou Wenfu. The eldest son was already arrogant enough in the mansion, and now he had inherited a title. Would there still be a place for the third son in the mansion?
“If you can live here, live here. If you can’t, separate the family. When the tree grows big, divide it…”
Before the Queen could finish her words, she was immediately interrupted by Liu, "How can we divide the family? The old marquis and I are not dead yet!
When you were little, you and your third brother were best friends. How did you become like this now? "
After Liu finished speaking, she looked at her daughter with the eyes of a heartless man.
The queen was really speechless. When they were young, it was obviously her eldest and second brothers who took care of her and her third brother. When did she start to like the third brother who liked to steal her things?
If the queen did not have memories of her childhood, she would have doubted whether her mother was talking about her.
The Queen didn't really want to give her mother face, so she said bluntly, "That might be because Mother remembered it wrongly. I remember when we were little, Third Brother wanted the best of everything."
Hearing her daughter say this, Liu was embarrassed for a moment, but only for a moment before she regained her composure and said, "Look at you, kid. You're still holding a grudge against your third brother for such a small matter. Your third brother was just joking with you!"
The Queen rubbed her brows and said helplessly, "Now that the title has been inherited by my eldest brother, I have no way to make the Emperor change his mind. So, just tell me what you want to do by crying."
"Can you ask for a title for your third brother as well? It doesn't have to be high, just something that can protect him."
In fact, Mrs. Liu knew in her heart that it was impossible, but she threw this out just to wait for her daughter to bargain!
The queen was so angry that she laughed. Her own son was still a bald prince!
"Are you crazy, or am I? If crying could earn you a title, the entrance to the palace would be packed."
"Then find your third brother a position with real power!"
Liu felt that this was her bottom line, otherwise she would stay in Kunyun Palace and not go back today.
The Queen thought that her eldest brother had been able to hold on until now and not kill her third brother. Her eldest brother had a really good temper! At this moment, she wanted to pick up a knife and leave the palace to kill her third brother.
"Mother, if you want to send your son off, then go ahead and make a scene! If that happens, I won't have a good time, and neither will Third Brother."
"How can you be so cruel? How did you learn bad things from your elder brother? Why am I so pitiful..." Liu was almost rolling on the ground at this time.
Seeing her mother crying non-stop, the Queen ordered the attendants to take her nameplate and lead them out of the palace to teach her "good third brother" a lesson in front of Liu.
Zhou Wenfu: I was just having a few drinks and didn't bother any of you. I even sincerely congratulated the eldest brother last night.
