Concubine Lin curled her lips and did not answer the question directly.
She put down the teacup, stood up and looked at Emperor Xuande's pale face: "Your Majesty is very frightened. Look. There is a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. Let me wipe it for you."
Her movements were calm and natural. She was doing the same thing as before, but she gave people a completely different feeling.
Before, it was a dodder that depended on humans, but now it is a black widow that chooses who it eats. (The author does not have any derogatory meaning towards women; this is an adjective.)
Emperor Xuande's expression changed drastically. He slapped her hand fiercely and shouted, "Noble Concubine Lin, I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf?"
The tender and affectionate Concubine Lin's expression suddenly turned cold. She glanced at him sideways and said indifferently, "I only want to be the queen now, and the crown prince should be given to Wu'er."
"Haven't you always valued Rong'er?" Emperor Xuande snorted coldly.
Concubine Lin lowered her eyes and did not answer, but just poured herself tea and water in a serious manner.
She gave birth to two sons.
A person who is a little clever but stubborn and self-willed, this little cleverness is really ridiculous when it meets a truly smart person.
Although the youngest son is reckless and straightforward, he respects his mother, avoids his elder brother, and is not cunning.
Only when such a person becomes the crown prince or emperor will he listen to her.
By then, mother and son will be connected and policies will be implemented. She can also become an empress.
The empress dowager who rules the country from behind the curtain?
What's the point of that.
If you want to do it, be the first!
Only then would she not let down her obedience and patience for over twenty years. Concubine Lin's entry into the palace carried a strong political meaning; she was a pawn of her family.
But chess pieces can also overturn the chessboard.
As for what Rong'er thought, that was not within her consideration. Even if she lost her son, she could still have another one.
When you wake up and take power over the world, will you still be worried about not being able to find a man?
Over the years, I watched my plan getting closer and closer, but suddenly a fish jumped out.
The madman Crown Prince was directly exposed.
Even the queen who was always obedient to the emperor could contradict him.
There was still a hint of smile on Concubine Lin's lips, but her good mood disappeared when she thought of the bad things.
Useless Yan Rong, given so many chances, didn't even know how to throw or smash the fish to death.
Everything outside the plan should be annihilated.
Emperor Xuande's face turned pale and blue as he weighed the pros and cons.
He found himself with no other choice. After sharing the same bed for so many days and nights, he had a good understanding of this imperial concubine.
If you choose her, then he can sit on the throne for another ten years; if you don’t choose her, it won’t be long before the crown prince forces his way out of the palace!
Even without forcing the emperor to abdicate, the Qing officials were eager to welcome the prince to the throne in order to restore order in the court.
"What do you have in mind? Tell me."
Concubine Lin was not surprised by the emperor's decision. He had always been the kind of villain who lived a life of compromise.
"Your Majesty, the only one who can break the chess game now is a fish."
When Emperor Xuande heard this, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He flew into a rage, "Are you trying to make fun of me?"
How can a person be so stupid?
The facts are right in front of him, but he still lies with his eyes open and is so stubborn.
Ever since the Crown Prince started raising fish, he has changed his indifference to fame and fortune and has always wanted the best.
From the emperor to the court officials, he never took them seriously. Before, he ignored them, now he despised them.
For a fish, the harem was in turmoil. She took a fish to the prince's study, and even wanted to let the fish be registered under the name of a great scholar.
What's more, a trend of worshipping koi suddenly swept across the capital.
Nowadays, there is a koi in every temple that is most visited by people. Isn’t it obvious how much contribution the Crown Prince and the Chengguo Mansion have made?
Concubine Lin really wanted to roll her eyes at him, but now was not the time to fall out.
She suppressed her impatience and said calmly, "Has your majesty never heard the words of the lucky koi?"
Emperor Xuande remained silent.
It is important for people to know their own limitations. When Concubine Lin saw that he had shut up, she felt a little better. She took a sip of tea and said slowly, "This is all I have to say. Whether this matter succeeds or not depends on my own life."
Emperor Xuande frowned and thought carefully.
Perhaps the confusion in his eyes was too obvious. Concubine Lin glanced at him and said quietly, "Your Majesty, do you know that the Crown Prince—"
Emperor Xuande clenched his fists all of a sudden. Which father in the world could tolerate the feeling of being looked down upon by his own son?
It's like the towering pine and cypress being ridiculed by the ants below, and the blood suddenly rushes to my head.
The memory of being frightened by the crown prince came to mind, and Emperor Xuande felt great shame and hatred.
It was like the only remaining stain in his life.
He slammed the table and stood up, took a deep breath, and forced himself not to think about the scenes of being despised by the prince.
Just at this moment, a cool breeze blew in from the window, blowing on the heads of both of them.
Emperor Xuande, who was filled with hatred, calmed down and regained his rationality. After being in a high position for a long time, he finally learned some ways.
"Tell me what to do."
——————
In early May, Duke Chengguo submitted several memorials requesting to return to Beijing to meet the emperor.
Emperor Xuande initially kept it in his possession but his court officials could not withstand the pressure and repeatedly advised him against it.
So the emperor reluctantly allowed Duke Cheng to return to Beijing.
The little fat boy has been here for many days. He feels dizzy and his brain is small, so he can't think so much.
"Grandma~"
"Hey!" The queen, who was trying on new clothes, responded with a smile. She turned her head and looked at the fat fish jumping around on the carpet: "Want to go to the basin?"
1002 quietly took notes.
He was no longer at the age of being easily startled.
"Humans are a peculiar species. When faced with young, adorable creatures, their tone and voice become soothing, as if they were soaked in sugar. PS: 1002 does the same to little fat cubs."
