Yan Chengyu's eyes were a little red and swollen, like a little rabbit.
When he saw the Queen Mother, his eyes lit up and he held up the jade pendant given by his father, "Grandma, Kang!"
Father gave it to Yu'er, it looks good.
The Queen Mother felt relieved, as long as Yu'er didn't remember that she was overly happy at that time.
The Queen Mother felt extremely distressed when she thought of her beloved grandson crying and asking her if she didn't like him anymore.
Her favorite golden grandson is only Yuer!
"Would you mind letting grandma take a look?" The Queen Mother approached and asked with a smile.
The little guy was a little reluctant, and there was pain on his chubby face. He handed it to the Queen Mother and said, "Here!"
The Queen Mother was so touched by his cuteness that she hugged the little prince into her arms.
Good grandson, good grandson, you have to call him.
Emperor Mingxi was watching from the side, and Yuer's happy look made him smile too.
Just thinking of those people with evil intentions, he was filled with murderous intent.
If he hadn't already made a plan, he would probably have just ignored all those people and caught them all in one fell swoop.
Yan Chengyu was tired from playing, so he walked to Jiang Yuanxing skillfully and stood on tiptoe. "I want to sleep."
Jiang Yuanxing first bowed, and only after seeing Emperor Mingxi nod did he hold the little prince in his arms.
I saw him walking away with the child in his arms.
Emperor Mingxi did not suppress his anger. "Mother, since Yu'er was born, I have been benevolent and have even slowed down the policies that were implemented. But they have repeatedly hurt my son. I will never tolerate this."
The Queen Mother paused for a long time before she sighed, "Why is my son putting on such a show? If the Duke Cheng's Mansion is also involved in this matter, I only hope that the Duke will be spared. As for other matters, I will not interfere."
There has always been a rule in this dynasty that only a family with a queen can be given the title of Duke.
Back then, the mother and son were walking on thin ice as the late emperor became increasingly incompetent.
Every step she took required a retreat plan. Her child was the legitimate crown prince, but the late emperor was incompetent and could not tolerate the crown prince.
If it weren't for his father's protection and his son's ability, I'm afraid he would have to give up the position of crown prince.
But ever since the old Duke passed away and the Queen Mother's brother succeeded to the throne, the Chengguo Mansion has been on the decline.
The current Emperor Mingxi is a natural emperor and his words are final.
However, Duke Chengguo relied on his favor to the current emperor to form cliques and engage in private activities, encroaching on the people's land.
Emperor Mingxi was more tolerant out of respect for the old Duke and the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, given his temper, the Duke Cheng's mansion would have been a river of blood.
"If I wasn't afraid of making my mother sad, why would I put on such a show? With your words, I won't worry about anything." Emperor Mingxi was exposed by the empress dowager, but he was not embarrassed at all.
He was only demoted before, but not stripped of his title or beheaded, which was already a sign of Emperor Mingxi's mercy.
It is not difficult to guess that the rumors about the prince this time were the work of Duke Cheng.
With the Empress Dowager as your backer, isn't it easy for you to go to the palace and blow the wind? Your hands are so long, so cut them off one by one.
The Queen Mother looked at the nine linked rings left by the young prince and reached out to pick them up. "I have protected the Duke of Cheng's mansion for many years. My parents have passed away. I have paid my debt of filial piety. Now my greatest wish is to have grandchildren."
-------------------------------------
Cheng Guogongfu.
Duke Chengguo sat in the main hall, feeling a little uneasy.
All under heaven belongs to the king. All within the four seas are the king's subjects.
The emperor used to like calling him uncle, but they stopped being so affectionate a few years after he ascended the throne. His wife asked to see the empress dowager many times to maintain their relationship.
His Majesty still refused.
Duke Chengguo stood up and looked into the distance with an angry look on his face.
Wasn't it just that he plundered a lot of money and annexed a lot of land? As a royal relative, that was what he deserved.
Besides, he gave silver to those untouchables, and the money and goods were settled, so what's wrong with that!
But your majesty showed no mercy.
Because of this incident, he and his sons were stripped of their official positions, leaving only a title of nobility as a decoration in their family.
He suspected that if the Queen Mother had not been alive, he would have been beheaded.
Having enjoyed wealth and glory for decades, Duke Chengguo did not want to lose it.
But look at Your Majesty, you are clearly rich, yet you want to distribute the land to those untouchables one by one, just for the reputation of being a saint!
Almost all the people in the court are upstarts promoted by His Majesty, and they have no right to speak at all.
A few days ago, when Duke Cheng was drinking in a restaurant, someone came to him to conspire with him about something big.
Thinking about the miserable situation of his family a hundred years after the Empress Dowager passed away.
Duke Chengguo gritted his teeth and joined.
But looking back now, he regretted it.
They have been uncle and nephew for many years, but he still doesn’t know Your Majesty’s temperament?
If the wrath of thunder descends upon us...
Duke Chengguo shuddered.
He always kept an eye on every little movement in the palace, and whenever he saw the Royal Guards appear, he would be terrified.
He was afraid that the Imperial Guards would surround the entire mansion, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that His Majesty had not issued an order for a long time.
It seems that the case has not been traced back to him, or maybe it was his sister who pleaded for mercy?
-------------------------------------
When Yan Chengyu woke up, Emperor Mingxi was already sitting next to him.
As an emperor who is busy with all kinds of affairs, this is really rare.
It was not often that the little prince saw his father as soon as he opened his eyes.
He was burrowing in the quilt like a little caterpillar.
A chubby hand grasped Emperor Mingxi's clothes, and he lowered his head. He saw his son grinning and calling him in a baby voice, "Daddy, hold me~"
Yan Chengyu seldom calls his father "the emperor", perhaps because it is less tiring to do so.
