The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 422 Why do you want to help me

"Why?"

When Emperor Yongfeng heard what Concubine Qi said, he was stunned at first and even stopped what he was doing.

Concubine Qi adjusted herself into a comfortable position and said, "I dare not discuss state affairs, but now that the Third Prince is in trouble and the young grandson has returned to his ancestral home, all the ministers in the court are eyeing the position of the Crown Prince.

The fourth prince has a gentle personality and does not fight or compete with others. He will definitely be a good emperor who works hard and loves his people in the future.

But now he has no support in the court, and he is afraid that he cannot defeat those who are interested.

Only if the emperor is strong can he overcome all objections and allow the fourth prince to secure the position of crown prince."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongfeng finally left Concubine Qi's body and sighed while lying on the pillow, "It is indeed true. You, a woman, can see the situation so clearly. I'm afraid those old foxes in the court are probably planning something at the moment."

Lady Qi propped herself up with one arm and said, "That's why I just advised Your Majesty to think twice.

This year's spring hunt is not only to pray for the people, but also to let the ministers in the court see that the emperor is now strong and healthy, still in his prime, so that those who have ulterior motives can put their thoughts aside. "

The phrase "the heyday of the country" touched the heart of Emperor Yongfeng.

At his age, it is not the time for him to be competitive.

But after this serious illness, he became more sensitive and couldn't stand hearing others say that he was not in good health.

So after hearing what Concubine Qi said, Emperor Yongfeng actually began to seriously consider the spring hunt.

"My beloved concubine has some truth in what she said. This year's spring hunt is a good opportunity to take the fourth child to exercise and let those ministers see how they should stand on the same side."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. You are in good health and can slowly help the Fourth Prince with his plans.

Just make those restless ones settle down.”

Concubine Qi flattered Emperor Yongfeng again, which made him feel very happy.

"My beloved concubine has thought it through. I really did not choose the wrong person."

As he spoke, he pulled the person into his arms again.

According to Emperor Yongfeng's habit, he usually would not let concubines stay overnight in his bedroom, so the fact that Concubine Qi stayed overnight soon caused an uproar in the harem.

The concubines in the harem were indignant.

"The emperor is shallow and cannot keep anyone around him. Is this woman serving the emperor for the first time? She doesn't even know this."

"My sister also said that she hasn't been favored by the emperor for many years. Now that she finally has the chance, she must use all her abilities!"

"I heard that he asked for more water last night! With the emperor's body..."

Tongpin didn't say anything else. She looked around and everyone seemed to understand.

So he asked, not giving up. "When you were serving him before, did the emperor need water?"

The status of several concubines was not as high as hers, and they were embarrassed to hear such questions, but they had to answer, so they could only shake their heads with red faces.

When Tongpin saw everyone like this, she felt more and more depressed.

What kind of vixen is Concubine Qi? She seduced the emperor so much that he didn't even care about his own health.

Apart from Concubine Tong, the other courtyards were also indignant.

Several concubines found out the details of last night and ran to Concubine Shu to complain.

"Sister, we serve the emperor, and we have been told since the day we entered the palace that we must take the emperor's health as the most important thing and never indulge in lust.

This little girl, Concubine Qi, doesn't know the rules of the palace. We have to teach her a lesson. We can't let her drain the emperor's body."

The uncle concubine knew what was going on. "Since they can stay overnight, it means that the spring hunt is likely to be successful."

She had already given up on the emperor, but in the face of these people's accusations, she still comforted them, "Sisters, don't worry too much.

No matter how capable Concubine Qi is, she is just an ordinary woman.

In terms of appearance, she is not even as good as the others sitting here.

The emperor is just trying to be fresh and indulge himself a little, but I believe he will soon lose interest."

"The noble lady Qi is not a new person, so how can she be new? This woman must have used some tricks to confuse the emperor.

Sister, you have to think about the emperor's health and not let that woman succeed!"

"Go, go, go."

Concubine Shu was already getting a little impatient.

"I know what my sisters are worried about. My current situation is a bit awkward, but I will find a chance to persuade the emperor."

Concubine Shu sent the people away, and was just looking forward to the outing being settled as soon as possible.

Three days later, the emperor indeed ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the spring outing.

Some old officials in the court advised: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health and don't go hunting this year."

"Your Majesty's health is the foundation of the country, you must not act recklessly!"

Faced with such words, Emperor Yongfeng sneered at them all.

"Do you think my health is not good? Do you think I can't even handle an outing like this?

I have just recovered from a serious illness, but you are saying such things. What is your intention?"

One sentence shut everyone up.

No one dares to comment on the emperor's health.

In this way, preparations for the outing on March 3rd began in full swing.

Fang Yue and Zhao Chunlei have more and more contacts.

There was no movement on King Rui's side.

He still led his army in daily training as before, but sometimes he spent more time training in the mountains than before.

Concubine Qi had nothing to do these days, so she went to the Fourth Prince during the day to help him prepare things for his outing.

"My queen, why did my father suddenly want to take me on an outing? He never let me go in previous years!"

The fourth prince was a little nervous.

As Concubine Qi put the cloak into the box, she said, "Then why don't you think about it? If the emperor didn't let you go in previous years, who did he let go?"

"Third Brother!"

The fourth prince blurted out.

"Yes!" Concubine Qi said, "Your third brother can't go this year, so it's finally your turn."

"But I don't want to go."

The fourth prince felt a little aggrieved. "I have never been able to shoot arrows since I was a child, let alone use other weapons. I am afraid of being hurt by the prey when I go hunting."

"But you are a prince."

Concubine Qi patiently advised, "As a member of the royal family, how can you not have such courage? Even if you are afraid, you can't show it at this time.

If you act like this, how can the ministers in the court obey you? "

"I don't need them to obey me!"

The fourth prince said, "I have already said it before, I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be a leisurely prince in peace and contentment, as for the rest, whoever wants to grab it can grab it.

It has nothing to do with me! "

Concubine Qi couldn't be said to have any feelings for the Fourth Prince.

At the beginning, because I wanted to use him, I had a lot of contact with him, so it's inevitable that I would feel some pity for him.

In Concubine Qi's opinion, the Fourth Prince's personality makes him totally unsuitable to be the emperor.

Just like he himself said, maybe it would be better to be a leisurely prince.

But now that the Fourth Prince is blocking Xiao Huaian's way, the balance in Concubine Qi's heart has tilted.

Knowing that something bad might happen to him during this hunting trip, he still advised him:

“It’s not something you can just not go if you don’t want to.

The emperor asked you to go because he wanted to train you. Even if you want to be a prince in the future, can you disobey the emperor now?"

The Fourth Prince did not think that he was being disobedient by not going on the spring hunt.

He can explain the situation to his father, and he believes that his father will understand.

But compared to this, he was more afraid of seeing Concubine Qi angry.

Concubine Qi has always been kind to him. If she was angry, it would mean that he had done something wrong and disappointed her.

"Don't be angry, my lady. I'll go. Isn't it okay for me to go?"

He started to pack clothes with Concubine Qi. Although he still had some concerns in his heart, he had no intention of backing down.

"If your majesty wants me to go, then I will go. When I find something good, I will bring it back to you as a gift."

Concubine Qi didn't say anything. She helped the Fourth Prince tidy up his clothes before leaving.

The fourth prince is already 15 this year. In just one year, he will move out of the palace and start his own residence.

"Will he still have this chance?"

Concubine Qi was walking and thinking, and before she knew it, she was bumped into by a small thing.

"Miss!"

The maid quickly reached out and supported the person.

"Who is so blind as to dare to bump into our queen? You..."

The little maidservant was halfway through scolding when she realized that the person in Concubine Qi's arms was the little grandson of the emperor, and she immediately shut up.

"Your Highness, is your health good? Chang'an apologizes to you."

Chang'an put his hands together and bowed politely to Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi quickly reached out and helped the man up, "It's okay, it's okay, let me see if you were hurt anywhere."

Because Concubine Qi helped Ye Xinran when they met last time, and Ye Xinran mentioned it a few times when she returned home, Chang'an had a good impression of Concubine Qi.

Seeing her reaching out to touch him, the little guy didn't dodge and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Chang'an's head is very hard and won't get hurt at all."

Chang'an opened his big round eyes when he spoke, looking innocent and cute. His eyelashes like a palm-leaf fan added a touch of elegance to his cuteness, making people couldn't help but feel pity for him.

Concubine Qi asked the maid and Chang'an's little book boy to step away. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She walked a few steps to the side, pulled Chang'an to the corridor, and asked, "Chang'an, do you know who I am?"

Changan opened his eyes wide in confusion, "You are the noble lady!"

"I'm asking you, after you returned home, did your second uncle and aunt mention my relationship with their family?"

Changan shook his head.

Concubine Qi had no choice but to ask directly: "Then let me ask you, your uncle, Xiao Huaian, what has he been busy with recently?"

Changan was puzzled by the mysterious look on Concubine Qi's face, "What are you busy with?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that his aunt had mentioned before that this Concubine Qi seemed to be an old acquaintance of his second uncle.

So he said, "Oh, I remember, my second uncle has been busy being intimate with my aunt at home recently. It seems that they are going to have a baby."

"what?"

Concubine Qi felt her blood boiling when she heard this.

It's already this time, and they still have the time to have children?

Do you really think that the emperor will willingly pass the throne to this little kid in front of you?

She grabbed Chang'an by the collar and lifted him in front of her.

Changan cried out in grievance: "My Queen, why did you arrest me?"

Concubine Qi looked around again and made sure that there was no one around before she said to Chang'an, "Go back and tell your second uncle that the emperor is going to go out for a spring outing on March 3rd. Tell him to make preparations early."

"Prepare early?"

Changan blinked.

"Correct!"

Concubine Qi was angry, "Let your second uncle take care of himself. Someone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble! How can I help you ascend the throne without careful planning?"

"what?"

Changan screamed and immediately covered his mouth with his little hands.

He also looked around like Concubine Qi just now, and then whispered:

"Your Highness, are you saying that Grandfather Emperor doesn't want me to inherit the throne? Why?"

"Isn't it because you are too young?" Concubine Qi reached out and tapped his forehead hard.

There were some things that she couldn't explain with just a few words, not to mention that Chang'an was still a child.

But after she said this, Chang An frowned, thought about it seriously, and said, "Grandpa Emperor is definitely not because I am young. Although I am young, I have my second uncle and master by my side.

And the Emperor always praised me for being smart.

"My Lady, did the Emperor say anything to you? Can you tell me? I will go back and tell my Second Uncle. Otherwise, my Second Uncle will think that the Emperor likes me and wants to train me!"

Concubine Qi was startled.

She couldn't believe that these words came from a child.

She even felt that Chang'an's mind was more mature than the Fourth Prince.

"Let me see what's in your little head?"

She shook Chang'an's head.

Chang An immediately shouted exaggeratedly, "Madam, please spare me, please spare me, my little head is about to be shaken into a paste!"

Lady Qi put down her hands.

After Changan was freed, he immediately took a few steps back, rubbing his neck while looking at Concubine Qi warily: "My Lady, stop shaking my head."

Seeing his expression, Lady Qi couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, I'll let you go. But did you remember what I just said to you?"

Chang An nodded immediately and whispered, "I've remembered everything. I'll tell my aunt about this when I get back and ask her to find a way to notify my second uncle!"

Lady Qi thought something was wrong with what she said and asked, "Didn't you just say that they were at home studying for their children? Why do you have to find a way to notify them now? Your second uncle is not at home?"

Although Chang'an is smart, he is still a child after all.

I just finished saying something deceptive and I don’t remember what happened next.

When he heard Concubine Qi questioning him, he panicked for a moment and couldn't think of any words to respond, so he could only say "hmm" and "ah" to try to fool her.

"Okay, I won't ask those questions." Concubine Qi did not continue to embarrass the child.

Instead, he said, "What I'm telling you is very important. Remember to tell your second uncle to be careful of the spring hunt on March 3rd. The Huo family is going to take action. Remember?"

"remember!"

Changan nodded, then blinked, tilted his head and looked at Concubine Qi and asked, "But Madam, why are you helping us?

They all say that you like the Fourth Prince and want to be his mother in the future.

If I become the emperor in the future, what will happen to the Fourth Prince? Won't you feel bad?"
