Taking advantage of King Xuan's wedding, he promoted three county princes to princes at the same time. He must have had some plan.
Was it an attempt to cover up the truth and disrupt his plans? Or was it intentional?
Among the three kings of Qi, Xiang and Zheng, the one most likely to inherit the throne is King Zheng.
Prince Qinghe frowned and thought. Although Zhao Zixu had a great possibility of choosing Prince Zheng to inherit the throne, Zhao Zixu had more than just the three princes of Qi, Xiang and Zheng. He also had other brothers.
In addition to the lame King Xuan, there is also King Ning and the least visible King Qin.
He wrote down the character 'Ning', but quickly rejected it and wrote the character 'Qin'.
Qin of the King of Qin.
To the royal family, the King of Qin was a transparent person on the edge, and no one would deliberately remember his existence.
It is precisely because he has no sense of existence and is a transparent person that no one notices him.
Prince Qinghe was thinking that if Zhao Zixu's preferred candidate was the King of Qin, then in order to protect the King of Qin, Zhao Zixu would deliberately promote Qi, Xiang, and Zheng to the title of prince at the same time, with the purpose of diverting his attention.
This was just his guess.
However, the King of Qin cannot be ignored, and the King of Zheng also needs to be paid attention to.
He called his confidants and asked them to arrange reliable people to keep an eye on the King of Qin's movements.
The sixth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day for the Duke of Rong's mansion to marry off his daughter. General Ye and Master Rong were comrades-in-arms who had fought together on the battlefield and had a life-and-death friendship. The two families also had frequent exchanges, so the Ye family would definitely attend the banquet.
Yue Zheng heard from Lizhi and others that they were going to the Rongguo Mansion for a wedding banquet. He found Hua Fushu and clamored to go and eat the wedding candy.
Hua Fushu's ears hurt from Yue Zheng's noise, and he couldn't resist him, so he took him to Feiyuan to ask the old general's opinion.
She is not a person who particularly likes crowds. Apart from necessary social engagements and interactions, she would avoid banquets, gatherings, and tea parties if possible.
Hua Fushu was very respectful to the old general. After some warm greetings, he proposed to take Yue Zheng to a banquet.
The old general lowered his eyelids and looked at Hua Fushu. It turned out that he was being too attentive for no reason. He was either a traitor or a thief.
This little girl came here with a purpose.
The old general knew very well what kind of person Hua Fushu was. She had no manners and was disobedient. She often talked back to her elders. He was afraid of being laughed at if he took her out.
He didn't even want to take Hua Fushu out, let alone a kid who had no relationship with him.
He didn't agree to Hua Fushu.
Hua Fushu was not discouraged. He glanced at the old general, then lowered his head, muttered softly, "If it weren't for the festive atmosphere, I wouldn't go."
The old general saw Hua Fushu mumbling to himself and thought he was scolding him. He asked, "What are you talking about?"
Hua Fushu covered his mouth, not daring to look at the old general, "I didn't say anything."
The old general looked at her with evasive eyes and panic written all over his face, as if he had done something wrong and was caught in the act, feeling so embarrassed.
Yue Zheng said at the right moment, "Grandpa, my sister is going to give birth to a little brother, and she wants to share in the good fortune."
The old general looked embarrassed.
Hua Fushu didn't expect Yue Zheng to say this suddenly. He pulled the corners of his mouth and looked at the old general with an ugly smile, and his ears turned red inexplicably.
Awkward and embarrassing.
The next moment, she pulled Yue Zheng over, covered his mouth, lifted Yue Zheng up with one hand, and dragged him out swiftly.
Outside the house, Hua Fushu said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat! Who said they wanted me to have a baby?"
Yue Zheng blinked her big eyes with an innocent look on her face, "You and your brother-in-law said that last night."
Yue Zheng’s voice was loud, and even the old general in the room heard what he said.
Hua Fushu didn't care at all whether the old general in the room heard it or not. She reached out and grabbed Yue Zheng's ear. This brat actually eavesdropped on her conversation with Ye Zelin!
"Okay, you're still eavesdropping at such a young age. It's okay to eavesdrop, but you're also misinterpreting. Did I say I was borrowing the auspiciousness to have a baby?"
Last night, she and Ye Zelin joked that if she and the old general went to the Duke of Rong's mansion for a wedding banquet, she would bring back some of the good luck and hope that Ye Zelin would pass the imperial examination.
"Isn't the purpose of borrowing happiness to have a baby?"
Hua Fushu did not pull Yue Zheng's ears hard, so Yue Zheng did not feel any pain.
"I'm borrowing the joyous mood to give to your brother-in-law."
Yue Zheng said, "Give the happiness to my brother-in-law. Is he going to have a baby too?"
Hua Fushu was confused. Is there something wrong with this brat's head? Why is his thinking so strange?
Well, I'm too lazy to explain it to a kid whose brain is as clear as water.
It's not worth it to not be able to explain it clearly and waste your breath.
Inside the house, the old general curled up the corners of his mouth, as if smiling. Although his granddaughter-in-law Hua Fushu was not likable, she was still very active in some things. It seemed that he would be able to have another great-grandson next year.
Hua Fushu picked up Yue Zheng, carried her on his shoulders, and brought her back to Guanju Pavilion.
Yue Zheng eavesdropped on his elders' conversations at a young age. Hua Fushu was very angry and punished Yue Zheng by making him copy 300 large characters.
Yue Zheng is six years old, but he has only just started learning. He knows only a few words and can't even hold a pen steadily.
He held the pen in his small hands and looked at the lush flowers with his big eyes.
"Sister, I will never eavesdrop on your conversations with your brother-in-law and brother again. Can you please not write in big characters?"
"no."
"Three hundred words is too many."
"Not much. Two hundred of the three hundred characters are the punishment for eavesdropping on my conversation with your brother-in-law, and one hundred are the lessons you missed because you were lazy and played around."
Yue Zheng was completely desperate. Her sister was too cruel.
Tears welled up in his big eyes. He wanted to cry but didn't dare to, because his sister said that men shouldn't cry easily, and if they did, they would be less than real men. He was a little man who stood tall and upright, and he shouldn't cry.
Yue Zheng held back his tears, not letting them flow down, and spent an hour writing the three hundred big characters.
When Sanqiao showed Hua Fushu the three hundred characters written by Yue Zheng, Hua Fushu was both angry and amused.
Hua Fushu flipped through Yue Zheng's handwriting while saying to Sanqiao, "This brat is really good at putting things off. I asked him to write 300 characters, and he did. But he didn't write anything else, just the number '一'. Look, it's all '一'. Why does he like writing '一' so much?"
Sanqiao said, "The young master knows less than fifty characters in total. 'One' is the easiest character to write, but he wrote 'One' for every character. Miss, you didn't say that he couldn't write all characters with one character."
Hua Fushu said, "At the age of five or six, it's the time to be playful. Yue Zheng started learning late and is impatient. He would play for two or three days after learning a character for half an hour before continuing. If I continue to spoil Yue Zheng, it would be a waste of time. I can't keep an eye on him all the time. I think after the New Year, I will send him to a private school. He will have a teacher to teach him and play with friends of his own age. It's better than staying at home all day."
