Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

After persuading Han Jun, Xu Huaiyi's worries were mostly gone, and he was also in the mood to gossip with his wife. After returning, he kept it a secret, "Do you know what's so wonderful about Xiaoyu?"

The couple likes to stay in the RV when they are together privately. They can talk casually without worrying about anyone eavesdropping.

Gu Huanxi was leaning on the sofa, eating snacks and watching a movie with great relish. Hearing this, he thought he was joking again and said casually, "I don't know. Could it be that when he was born, there were colorful clouds in the sky and hundreds of birds came to celebrate?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded in agreement.

Gu Huanxi turned to look at him in surprise, "Are you serious?"

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "I can't be more serious. Good fellow, I used to think that this kind of vision was fabricated, to create momentum for some people, or a gimmick to bluff people. It turns out that it really exists."

Moreover, it seemed even more miraculous when it happened to someone who was very familiar to him.

Gu Huanxi frowned, "Where did you hear all this? Didn't Han Jun tell you? His uncle's words are likely to be exaggerated, and you actually believed them?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head. "It wasn't Han Jun. It was Xiaoyu who said it first. Then I went to Han Jun to verify it. The uncle and nephew said the same thing. Han Jun might have lied to build momentum for his nephew. There's no reason for Xiaoyu to lie to us, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi urged, "Tell me in detail, what's going on?"

Xu Huaiyi said hurriedly, "Xiaoyu said that the reason why he was constantly plotted against by several princes was not because of his status as the eldest grandson of the emperor. After all, the Prince of Qi was not the legitimate son of the Empress, so the title of the eldest grandson of the emperor was not tenable at all. In fact, it was because when he was born, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, which was considered a good omen. This is why Emperor Jianxing valued and loved him, and attracted the attention of those princes, making them want to kill him."

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi suddenly understood everything that she had been confused about before. She felt that there was something strange. How could those princes not tolerate a child of only a few years old and a father who did not have the ability to compete for the throne?

A strange phenomenon from heaven is a good omen. When such a thing happens in the royal family, the meaning behind it is obvious.

She asked curiously, "When the little fish was born, was there really a sky full of colorful clouds and hundreds of birds coming to celebrate?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "That's not the case. It's much more magical than you guessed. It rained heavily on the day when Xiaoyu was born. The sky was gloomy and the wind was strong. It was very scary. It rained for a long time. The low-lying areas began to flood back. At that time, many people were afraid of disasters. Who knew that the moment Xiaoyu started crying, the rain stopped immediately. The originally gloomy sky suddenly cleared up. The sky was clear and blue. Then countless magpies flew to the Prince of Qi's mansion and sang. The scene was said to be very spectacular and shook the entire capital. Many people went to see it..."

Gu Huanxi's expression turned strange when he heard this. "Do you believe this?"

Xu Huaiyi said with emotion, "Before I traveled through time, I definitely wouldn't have believed it, but now, I feel like anything magical can happen."

After all, they were able to travel through time with the RV, and Meng Yao was also able to be reborn, so what was there to be unacceptable about the strange phenomenon that occurred when they were born?

"That's true. It seems that Xiaoyu really sat in that position in the previous life. No wonder Meng Yao sent people to look for him."

"Well, it's a pity that she doesn't have that fate..." Xu Huaiyi sneered, "She had a good plan. She wanted to find Xiaoyu early, rescue him, show him kindness, and then marry him. Then she would have wealth and glory for the rest of her life. It's a pity that our family came and snatched it away in advance."

Gu Huanxi's heart moved, "Our family is an accident, then do you think it will change the historical trajectory of the previous life?"

Xu Huaiyi said indifferently, "It has been changed a long time ago, wife, and there are more than one or two places that have been changed."

"In the end, will it affect the fate of the little fish?"

"It has already affected you. Don't worry, I know what you are worried about. It won't happen. The last seat will most likely still be his."

"It's better this way." Otherwise, it would be a sin if the emperor's fate was ruined in their hands.

Xu Huaiyi curled his lips, "What's so good about being an emperor? It's the most miserable job, bar none."

Gu Huanxi sighed, "You are dismissive, but you don't know how many people would rather fly into the fire and enjoy it."

"Is the crown prince's position going to be decided?"

"In theory, it should be soon..."

Three days later, the prince was chosen.

This efficiency is really high.

As the couple expected, it was indeed Prince Duan. Once the imperial edict was issued, the voices of debate in the court ceased.

The crown prince is the legitimate heir to the throne, and the crown prince is also the king. Anyone who questions it is simply courting death.

As for the other princes, no matter how unwilling they were, they had to publicly perform the etiquette of a subject to the crown prince to make clear the changes in their respective statuses. From then on, apart from the blood relationship between brothers, they were also related as monarch and subject.

Prince Duan's Mansion suddenly became lively.

Every day there are people who bring generous gifts to heat the stove. If we don’t show our goodwill to them now, when will we?

Those who had followed Prince Duan in advance naturally became the winners. Their bet was successful, and now is the time for them to be proud.

Like the Su family, as the money bag of Prince Duan and one of his most powerful supporters, their wealth and power soon rose.

The Yin family, which had dared to rely on Prince Qi to compete with the Su family before, almost immediately shrank their heads and showed signs of decline.

The change of power, with some rising and some falling, is a reality.

But all this had little to do with the Gu family. Xu Huaiyi took advantage of his illness to lie at home, eating and drinking, not worrying about anything, and feeling very comfortable until Su Zhe came.

As soon as they met, Xu Huaiyi joked, "Congratulations, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is shining..."

Su Zhe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't mention it anymore. What about meeting Yueming? I just feel miserable now."

"What's wrong?" Xu Huaiyi asked curiously while lying on the couch, picking up walnuts and eating them, "Shouldn't you be so proud of yourself right now? Why do you look like you've lost money in business?"

Su Zhe sighed gloomily, "It would be better to lose money. If I lose money, I can still earn it. Now, I really have no way out."

Xu Huaiyi was even more puzzled. "Didn't Prince Duan become the crown prince? The Su family is considered one of the meritorious officials, so why didn't they benefit from it?"

Su Zhe said in a complicated tone, "Yes, I got a lot of it. Originally, my Su family was the number one imperial merchant, and was praised as the richest man in Dayong. Now it's even more amazing. Business is booming. Everyone gives the Su family some face, and some even rush to ask for cooperation and give money. In the past, the Su family had to smile and make arrangements to negotiate a deal, but now it's just a matter of a word..."

Xu Huaiyi's eyes flashed, "Isn't that good?"

Su Zhe looked at him dimly, "A raging fire and a flourishing brocade, is that really good?"

Xu Huaiyi laughed dryly, "If you know the limits, there won't be any problems."

"But the problem is that many people in the Su family don't know how to handle this properly. It's only been a few days, but they've already started to get cocky. Every time they go out, they look up at people with their noses in the air and their chins lifted, as if they've become noble just because Prince Duan became the crown prince..." Su Zhe complained irritably, "No matter how rich the Su family is, they're still merchants. Their status is destined. How noble can they be? They don't realize it, and sooner or later they're bound to cause trouble."

"Didn't your uncle take care of it?"

"Humph, how can we care? Even he himself has gotten carried away, thinking that he has done a great service to the emperor..." Su Zhe frowned, "The Su family actually didn't do much, it was just a tribute of some silver."

“Silver is very important.”

"But I always feel that the fact that Prince Duan was made the crown prince this time has little to do with money."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi laughed, "So, you are feeling insecure?"

Su Zhe nodded happily, "I have nothing to hide from you. I am indeed uneasy. The position of Crown Prince fell to Prince Duan, and the Su family cried with joy. But I am just the opposite. Not only do I feel guilty, I also feel uneasy, but I can't tell where I am uneasy..."

"Are you looking for me to solve your doubts?"

"Um……"

Being stared at by him, Xu Huaiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You trust me, but I don't even have the qualifications to attend the court, so how can I help you solve your doubts? You have to find those big guys to solve the problems in the court."

"You are a man of great fortune..."

"Stop it now!" Xu Huaiyi rolled his eyes when he saw his resentful face. "I don't have the ability to solve your doubts, but I can remind you a few things."

Su Zhe was immediately delighted, "Huai Yi, please speak quickly. I am all ears."

Xu Huaiyi whispered, "Prince Duan was appointed as the crown prince at this time. The timing is a bit delicate."

Hearing this, Su Zhe's face changed. He was not stupid. With just a little reminder, he figured out what was going on. "You mean, Prince Duan ascended to the throne too hastily, and it was the result of a compromise between the court and the emperor?"

Actually, these words were somewhat taboo, but since there were only two people in the study, Su Zhe was not that nervous.

Xu Huaiyi's eyelids twitched. He spoke without restraint because he was a modern man at heart and had no respect for imperial power. But Su Zhe was a pure ancient man. Shouldn't the awareness of imperial power be ingrained in his bones?

Isn't this too much trust in him? He dares to say anything!

"Ahem, what you said is just one of them..."

"What about the second one?"

Xu Huaiyi said meaningfully, "No matter who is the crown prince now, they will face a difficult situation. Although the South has won the war, it will take a long time to recover after the war and need help from the court. Not to mention the North, which has to lose a battle from time to time, consuming more and more food and grass, and the treasury is empty...

In addition, they also had to deal with the rebel army that had just rebelled. I heard that there were as many as 50,000 people. Within just half a month of rising up, they had occupied two prefectures and took hundreds of thousands of civilians hostage. How could such a scale be created by ordinary people?

The biggest hidden danger actually comes from the capital and the palace. The King of Chu has never given up his evil intentions. And the King of Jin and the King of Qi, have they paid so much before, can they just accept their fate?"

Su Zhe nodded subconsciously and murmured, "Yes, that's right. No wonder I feel uneasy. It's because even if Prince Duan is pushed to the position of Crown Prince now, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit firmly on it..."

Throughout history, there have been too many deposed princes.

Xu Huaiyi reminded, "Don't say this out loud, and don't show it in your expression."

Su Zhe came back to his senses, his face slightly pale, "Don't worry, I won't commit suicide. Even if Prince Duan really can't hold on, I won't do anything. I'm not that arrogant. Everything is up to God's will."

Xu Huaiyi asked tentatively, "Are you deeply involved in Prince Duan's affairs?"

Su Zhe smiled bitterly, "With my status, I don't have the qualifications or ability to get involved deeply, but there must be a connection. You know, I have left him dividends from several profitable deals in my business. The favored concubine in his backyard was also given by me. Even my sister from the same father was named the Prince's concubine. With a position and a child, the Su family will definitely not be able to get rid of her."

After hearing this, Xu Huaiyi couldn't help scratching his head, "That's really not easy to do..."

According to current standards, Su Zhe and Prince Duan's faction are already deeply involved. They are definitely the prince's gang. If something happens to the prince in the future, they will definitely be implicated and liquidated.

Su Zhe sighed dejectedly, "How hateful of those people in the Su family, they still think that they have finally made it through all the hardships, but they don't know that the knife is already on their necks, and they don't know how long they can enjoy the glory. The Su family's century-old foundation..."

"Not really, just a little more bleeding."

Su Zhe was not so optimistic. He frowned. "In recent days, the Duke Duan's mansion has been crowded with people. They all rushed to give gifts. The Su family also gave a large sum and helped to organize the banquet. My half-brothers jumped up and down, trying to curry favor with the Duke Duan and fight for a future. If they succeed, how can we just bleed enough?"

"You didn't stop me?"

"How could I stop them? My father and my second uncle both acquiesced. They felt that as long as one of them could catch the prince's eye, the Su family would be able to prosper for another three generations. They even instigated me, but I ignored them."

"What is Prince Duan's attitude?"

Su Zhe's expression became stiff. "Prince Duan wants to promote me, but it's not because I have any ability, but because I am on good terms with you. You are now the most sought-after new dignitary in the capital, and he wants to win you over through me."

After that, he took out a beautiful post from his sleeve, smiled bitterly and said, "Look, I sent you a post."

Xu Huaiyi was speechless. "I'm recovering from my illness and basically don't get out of bed. How can I go out to eat and drink?"

Su Zhe said, "I said the same thing for you. Prince Duan meant that he has made his intentions known, and it depends on whether you accept it or not."

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

Good man, he thought the succession to the throne had nothing to do with him, but in the end, he was dragged into it?
