After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Seeing Yan Qingqing's calm face, Mu Xi couldn't help but ask: "Madam, aren't you anxious at all? Once the Qian family unites with the eldest prince, won't he have an extra layer of help?"

Yan Qingqing laughed when he heard this and said, "What's the point of being anxious? This eldest prince is destined to miss the throne."

Mu Xi didn't know much about government affairs, so she asked in surprise: "Why?"

Yan Qingqing said: "Although our Emperor is a good Emperor who is diligent and loves the people, he is also soft-hearted and has no independent opinion.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to think about passing the throne to Mo Chen while watching Xiao Moyan's power gradually expand, so that now he would be constrained when he wanted to do something.

In fact, there should be some hesitation in his heart. He wanted to canonize Mo Chen as the prince, but he didn't have to do it. After all, he probably had high hopes for the eldest prince during the two years when Mo Chen was absent from the court.

It's just that after this incident, the emperor should have completely seen Xiao Moyan's virtue, and the marriage between them would also fulfill his own wishes. Maybe the emperor will make him king, but when he makes him king, he will also make Mo Chen the prince. "

Mu Xi asked with some confusion after hearing this: "But the emperor favors His Highness King Chen. This is something that everyone knows."

Yan Qingqing sneered when he heard this: "What you said is true, he may really like Mo Chen, but you have to know that he is an emperor first, and a father second.

No matter how favored King Chen is, he will always be ranked behind the government. This was known from the time when the emperor wanted to restore the throne and reward Concubine Yu and her son. "

Yan Qingqing is not that simple. She thinks that if the emperor likes Xiao Mochen, he will definitely hand over the Great Yan Dynasty to him.

At the same time, in the palace, the emperor corrected the memorial as usual. After finishing his work, he said to Eunuch Xiang: "Study the ink and draw it up!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Xiang quickly agreed, then put down the whisk in his hand and began to grind the ink.

The emperor unfolded Emperor Ming's imperial edict, thought for a while, and wrote: "It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed.

It has been three generations since Dayan was passed down to me. Although I have worked diligently, I know that my mediocrity cannot match the contribution of my ancestors who have established a foundation for eternity.

However, I have four sons under me, all of whom are adults, and I am very relieved.

Adhering to the ancestral law, the eldest prince is now canonized as Prince Ping, the fourth prince as Prince Duan, and the fifth prince as Prince Rui.

From now on, be self-cultivated, live in harmony with brothers, watch and help each other, bestow upon you! "

When Eunuch Xiang saw the edict written by the emperor, he was secretly surprised. The emperor had sealed three princes in one go.

The emperor had not revealed anything to anyone before.

Eunuch Xiang's shocked expression was caught by the emperor, and he asked: "Why, do you think it's a little sudden?"

Eunuch Xiang quickly put away his expression and said with a smile: "There is no room for this old slave to comment on the emperor's actions.

But I'm afraid not only the old slave found this sudden, but also the ministers. After all, the emperor never mentioned this matter in the court. "

Seeing Eunuch Xiang's frankness, the emperor smiled and said, "You're such a cunning old man, you know how to shirk it.

But how can I let them see clearly what I am doing? They all think that I am good-tempered and easy to control.

Huh, I don’t do that!

In fact, there are some words that I have been holding in my heart that no one has ever said. After you listen to them today, just put them in your left ear and out your right ear. "

When Eunuch Xiang heard this, he smiled on his face, but he was very bitter in his heart. He would rather the emperor suppressed it in his heart.

However, the emperor didn't care about Eunuch Xiang's thoughts and said: "It's true that I dote on Mo Chen.

But Mo Yan and the others are also my sons. I don't have to place high hopes on them, but I have to consider them.

Over the years, I have been thinking about who will sit on this dragon throne a hundred years from now.

In fact, it doesn't have to be Mo Chen. I also considered Mo Yan, but his behavior disappointed me so much.

He has a bad temper, treats his servants harshly, and has no tolerance for others.

And Mo Chen was very sick before, and the fourth and fifth concubines were of low birth. One was timid and fearful, and the other acted without any independent opinion, so I never considered the two of them.

Now that Mo Chen has gained experience and has the demeanor of a wise king, it is time for me to make a decision. "

After hearing this, Eunuch Xiang felt a wave of panic in his heart. The emperor was planning to establish a prince.

I'm afraid a fight will be unavoidable by then.

However, Eunuch Xiang secretly hoped to make Xiao Mochen the crown prince.

And making decisions early can also help those people calm down as soon as possible.

Half a month later, the eldest prince married his concubine Qian Yingying.

The eldest prince's mansion and Qian's Mansion were both decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

The Qian family is indeed very wealthy, and the dowry given to Qian Yingying is definitely the most generous in the entire capital.

The first of the boys carrying the betrothal gift had already arrived at the eldest prince's mansion, while the ones behind him had not yet left the gate of the mansion.

Qian Yingying had a flash of madness in her eyes before she got on the sedan chair. She was not marrying the eldest prince, she was going to be the queen mother.

But what Qian Yingying didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the eldest prince's mansion, the pie that Mrs. Qian had drawn for her would come to nothing.

The eldest prince accepted his concubine, and there were quite a few ministers who came to have a wedding banquet.

Yan Qingqing also asked people to send congratulatory gifts, but the etiquette on the surface should still be thorough.

Just as everyone was changing cups and congratulating the eldest prince on the return of the beauty in his arms, someone came to the palace, and the person who came was none other than the eldest steward, Eunuch Xiang.

Everyone thought that Eunuch Xiang was here to deliver a wedding gift to the eldest prince, and even the eldest prince looked proud.

He walked up to Eunuch Xiang and said with a smile: "Eunuch Xiang, why are you here? But my father asked you to come and give gifts to this prince."

Eunuch Xiang smiled and replied: "That's right!"

Xiao Moyan frowned and seemed a little unhappy when he heard this. What does it mean to be okay? Maybe the old eunuch didn't know.

Eunuch Xiang didn't look at Xiao Moyan's face. He really didn't take seriously a person who was destined not to become an emperor.

He reached out and took an imperial decree from Emperor Ming from the hand of the little eunuch behind him and said: "The eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince take the decree!"

The fourth prince and fifth prince also came to attend Xiao Moyan's wedding, which saved Eunuch Xiang a lot of trouble.

The fourth prince and the fifth prince looked at each other. They didn't expect that they had something to do with them.

So he quickly knelt down together.

After unfolding the imperial edict, Eunuch Xiang read out: "By God's blessing, the emperor decrees..."

When Xiao Moyan heard that he was named Prince Ping, there was a hint of pride on his face, but when he heard that one of the fourth and fifth princes was named Prince Duan, and the other was named Queen Rui, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Compared to the titles of the two of them, this flat character seems really ordinary.

The eldest prince was unconvinced, so Xiao Mochen could just suppress him. After all, he was the direct descendant of the middle palace, but why did these two idiots do it?

The fourth and fifth princes were overjoyed when they heard this. They did not expect that their father would make them kings at this time.

They have no ambitions. As long as they can be a prince, they will be satisfied to be a prince after the new emperor succeeds to the throne.
