Chapter 1011 Rumors
“However, it’s not enough to just whisper sweet nothings in His Majesty’s ear. His Majesty loves alchemy more than women,” Cui Rong said softly, gently stroking the gold hairpin in her hair.
"Does Your Majesty have any good ideas?" Peony asked quickly.
"As for solutions, there's always one when you think about it. There's no situation in this world that can't be resolved. It's just a pity that my father fought all his life, but in his old age, he became timid and closed-minded. Heh, if you ask me, living solely on His Majesty's favor and trust is like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water—the most unreliable thing!"
In that instant, Cui Rong made up her mind to no longer be controlled by her father.
These words were somewhat inappropriate, and Peony dared not respond, stammering, "Your Majesty..."
"Alright, get up and help me tidy my clothes. I haven't visited the Crown Prince at the East Palace yet today. Judging from the sky, the Crown Prince should have finished his classes by now. Didn't he dislike sweet soup before? I'll send him a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today."
Seeing Cui Rong regain her composure in an instant, Shaoyao felt both envious and admiring.
After gently tidying up Cui Rong's clothes, jewelry, and hair, she followed her to the East Palace.
Outsiders were unaware of the rift between the Cui father and daughter.
Aside from being busy with official duties, Zhang Ping'an and his son have been spending most of their time at home preparing for the baby's one-month celebration.
In addition, I occasionally tease my two little ones at home.
The third child, whom Xiaoyuer named Zhang Miao, means "distant" or "far away." From this, it implies lofty, outstanding, and surpassing qualities, subtly reflecting his parents' hope that he would grow up to be an exceptional person.
At the same time, "邈" is a homophone of "淼", and since the child's birth chart is lacking water, this name is perfect.
Zhang Heng and Zhang Zhuo also love their newborn brother. Zhang Zhuo, in particular, was overjoyed to learn that his brother would be younger than him. "That means I won't be the youngest in the family anymore, my brother will be!"
Seeing his grandson's serious expression, Zhang Ping'an rubbed his little face and smiled as he agreed, "Alright, alright, we know. From now on, you're the older brother, so you have to take care of your younger brother, understand?"
"Yes, I definitely will. I'll take him out to play from now on," Zhang Zhuo nodded emphatically.
Then she went to play with her brother.
Watching the two boys laughing and playing, Xiaoyu shook her head and chuckled, "When this third one grows up, the house will probably be even more lively. It would be great if we had a daughter someday. Daughters are delicate and can be pampered."
"Judging from the current situation, I reckon having a daughter is only a matter of time," Zhang Ping'an glanced at his son, smiled, and went back to his room.
Little Fish knew his father was implying that he had many wives and concubines, but he didn't argue back.
He had no intention of compromising himself like his father had.
Things were going well, and a full-month celebration would have been a joyous occasion.
But at some point, rumors suddenly spread in the capital that the newborn grandson of the Privy Councilor was born on the last day of the month, a day of bad luck, and was the reincarnation of a jinx.
It not only affects the fortunes of those around them, but may even affect the fate of the nation.
These words not only came suddenly, but were also exaggerated. It was obvious that someone was instigating them from behind, but many people believed them, and the people of the capital were talking about it for a while.
Zhang Ping'an and Xiaoyuer were furious and sent people to investigate thoroughly. Before the matter was resolved, another wave of rumors suddenly arose.
This time, we're talking about the name Xiaoyuer gave her son. The character "邈" is considered to be incompatible with the character "朴" in Chinese astrology.
“邈” means distant, lofty, and outstanding, carrying an image of nobility and extraordinary, while “朴” originally means simple and unpretentious, and by extension, it means humble, lowly, or even fallen. The momentum represented by “邈” and the momentum represented by “朴” form a natural and thorough coverage and suppression.
From the perspective of the Five Elements Analysis Method, "邈" has 21 strokes and "朴" has 14 strokes. Their pectoral fins are opposite each other, which also forms a suppressive force.
And "Pu" is the name of the current emperor.
This matter directly points to Xiaoyuer's ulterior motives, which is a very serious accusation.
The Qian, Li, and Ge families, who were close to the family, immediately sent people to inquire.
Qian Ying frowned, looking at Zhang Ping'an and his nephew, "What do you two think about this? This is ill-intentioned. Although it's obvious that someone is stirring things up and it's just a rumor, too many people are talking about it. If it reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid things won't end well!"
“This is outrageous! If I find out who is doing such dirty things behind my back, I will not let them get away with it,” the Li family also said.
After a moment of silence, Xiaoyuer said in a deep voice, "The thing I feared most has finally come to pass."
