Chapter 213 Rumors
Before the New Year's banquet, a rumor suddenly spread in the capital that the prince was popular among the people, had the demeanor of a crown prince, and was truly a wise ruler, so there was no need to worry about the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.
Su Zhenzhen had heard about it all. She looked at the tall and straight man next to her and poked his abdominal muscles which felt good to the touch, "Husband, who do you think did this?" This was simply abominable. You know, even if the emperor favored the prince, he would not want to see rumors that everyone was praising the prince and hoping for him to die sooner.
My father is actually a very powerful emperor. Su Zhenzhen knows how energetic and diligent his father is just by looking at the fact that he only sleeps three hours a day.
Expecting your father to give up his power and become the emperor is just dreaming.
Rong Jinchen grabbed her restless little hand and squeezed it with his calloused fingertips. He whispered, "The Prince of Jin or the Prince of Chu are just people who want to seize the throne. It's easy to guess." Su Zhenzhen pondered for a moment. She clasped his slender knuckles with her hand and said in a delicate voice, "Hmm, according to the plot, is there a Prince of Duan as well?"
Seeing the man straighten his expression, Su Zhenzhen continued, "Last year's autumn hunt didn't seem like the work of the Prince of Jin. At that time, the Prince of Chu hadn't yet been crowned, and his in-laws weren't prominent, so their connections were limited. I think it was more like the Prince of Duan, but we can't let our guard down against the Prince of Chu." She teased him, "How could the royal family be so naive? No prince would be indifferent to the throne, and not everyone is my dear husband."
Rong Jinchen's eyes dimmed, he reached out and touched her cherry lips, "Qingqing is so understanding, I'll reward you with a kiss." He lowered his head and kissed her lips, then held them in his mouth and sucked for a while.
Su Zhenzhen bit his soft thin lips and hugged his neck, "I like it." She felt very comfortable with Rong Jinchen's loving and tender kiss.
As they talked, they kissed each other again. As their breaths intertwined, the crisp scent of cedar and the sweet and soft body fragrance of the girl intertwined, with a refreshing sweetness.
Returning to the previous topic, Rong Jinchen whispered: "You are really insightful, Qingqing. I have ignored Prince Duan in the past." He also just noticed that Prince Duan Rong Jinqi and Prince Jin Rong Jinyu were born of the same mother, just like the second brother of the Crown Prince and him.
Su Zhenzhen lazily nestled on the man. The two of them sat on the chaise longue. Outside the gauze window, heavy snow was quietly falling.
The room was warm and cozy. She was only wearing a strapless pink homely dress with gold weaving. Her figure was very graceful and voluptuous, and her snow-white skin felt more delicate and silky than the finest white jade, making people unable to let go.
After Rong Jinchen finished speaking, Su Zhenzhen slowly added: "It's not that I see everything clearly, because you are all insiders, and I am outside." She moved away the man's big hand on her body with a little embarrassment.
"But it's always good to be wary of rivals. I trust my husband." She was just an ordinary little salted fish, and she placed his hand on her heart again. "Husband, listen to me, my heart is saying it trusts you." Rong Jinchen was so tempted by her that he wanted to utter the classic line: I'll give you my life.
Rong Jinchen's Adam's apple rolled heavily, and his voice was very hoarse, "Let me listen." He leaned close to her heart, and then his breath sprayed on it. Su Zhenzhen's eyes were instantly misty.
East Palace.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou lowered his head, looked at the young eunuch kneeling on one knee on the ground and replied: "Have you found out?" His half-brothers could no longer hold back.
But thinking of his father's reaction, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou felt a heavy sinking in his heart. It seemed that his father had taken it to heart...
He knew that his opponents were not his half-brothers, but his father's choice of him to succeed the throne in the future, so he would have the last laugh.
But no matter how much his father values him, he would not be willing to listen to rumors that are actually secretly cursing him to an early death.
A rift had already arisen between the father and son.
Thinking of the scene in Weiyang Palace today, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou couldn't help but purse his thin lips.
Time goes back to the afternoon.
Inside the Weiyang Palace.
Ambergris, which only the emperor could use, was burning in the gilded Boshan furnace. Although the palace was warm, no temperature could be felt.
All the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall held their breath and dared not make a sound, simply because the atmosphere between His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a bit strange.
Rong Yue's face was expressionless, showing no emotion. He sat on the dragon throne, looking at Crown Prince Rong Jinyou who was reporting to him about the handling of the snow disaster.
After a moment's silence, he slowly said: "The Crown Prince has done a good job in disaster relief. I am relieved." Crown Prince Rong Jinyou noticed something, but he just looked up at his father with a calm expression, and whispered sincerely: "It's all thanks to your good teaching, father. I dare not take credit for it." After he said that, he lowered his eyes again and didn't look at him any more.
Rong Yue suddenly sneered, "Your Highness still needs to learn more about the art of controlling subordinates that I taught you. Okay, go down. You've been tired these days, so take a good rest." He reached out and picked up a memorial to review.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou's heart suddenly sank. What did his father mean by this?
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come back to his senses, the young eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the rumor in the capital was spread in public by the Right Military Governor of the Five Armies after he got drunk. He is Yu Liangyuan's elder brother and the eldest son of Marquis Anping." Although the Five Armies Military Governor's Office does not have as much power as the Ministry of War, it controls the troops in the capital except for the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and is a very good place to be.
The experience is also from the fifth rank official position, mostly used to gild the children of meritorious officials. Fortunately, in this dynasty, inheritance of the title also requires an examination.
Yu Jingli is Yu Liangyuan's biological brother. He still thinks that he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, and he just acted immorally after drinking.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou's handsome face turned cold. How many times had he been held back by a woman?
Previously, there was a concubine named Qi in the case of the locust plague in Guizhou, and now there is another one named Yu Liangyuan?
Wouldn't the emperor think that he is a prince who is greedy for beauty and is not worthy of being reused?
The young eunuch didn't dare to speak. The Crown Prince's expression looked very scary.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou pondered for a long time, then he stood up and went to the Crown Princess's main hall.
It was getting dark, and the Crown Princess was just preparing to have dinner when she unexpectedly saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
She quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, I greet you." The Crown Princess' heart skipped a beat. Seeing the Crown Prince's cold expression, the joke she was about to offer froze on her lips. "Your Highness, why didn't you send someone to inform me in advance? I didn't even have time to prepare your dinner."
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou pursed his lips, then sat down on the rosewood rose chair and looked at the Crown Princess. "I don't have an appetite. Today, I want to talk to you about something." The Crown Princess was slightly startled. "What?"
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou said, "Yu Liangyuan is under house arrest for six months. As for the concubines in the Eastern Palace, Crown Princess, please advise them on my behalf and ask them to control their families' opinions." A question slowly formed in the Crown Princess' mind. "I obey your command. But Your Highness, I'm a little confused about what you mean."
