A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Mrs. Wang was still surprised at Song Hongshen's identity. For so many years, the Song family and her sister-in-law had not revealed a single word.

After Wang Jinyao said this, Mrs. Wang suddenly realized that this was indeed an opportunity.

If Song Hongshen could really ascend to the throne, then given the relationship between the Wang family and the Song family, it would not be impossible for his daughter to become the queen.

Everything depends on how you plan and whether it is worth it.

Not long after, Mr. Zhou hurried into the hall.

Under the gaze of everyone, the examination of the relationship between Emperor Xuande and Song Hongshen began.

Everyone watched with bated breath, not daring to breathe.

The most calm and composed person present was Song Zan, while the most nervous were Concubine Xian and the Crown Prince.

Mr. Zhou was very quick in verifying the relationship, and after a moment he said, "Your Majesty, the King of Loyalty and Bravery is indeed your father and son."

Emperor Xuande nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my brother."

After Mr. Zhou left, Emperor Xuande looked Song Hongshen up and down several times.

The two men stood facing each other at this time, and Emperor Xuande's eyes were complicated and somewhat excited.

Song Hongshen did not dodge or evade, his expression was calm, and he did not show any joy at suddenly becoming a prince.

Emperor Xuande reached out and patted Song Hongshen's firm shoulders, "The Marquis of Loyalty has brought you up very well."

Song Hongshen said expressionlessly, "I dare not. I have a bad character and do not know how to be superior or inferior. Maybe it is really as your majesty said, I have followed my roots."

He was also a little annoyed. When he was a bastard of the Song family, the emperor didn't have this expression. Now that he is the legitimate son of the royal family, has he been educated well?

Song Zan stood aside, looking up and trying not to laugh, feeling particularly happy. Even if this son recognized his ancestry, he was still close to him in his heart.

Emperor Xuande was startled when he heard this, but he was not angry. He turned around and walked to the main seat, laughed twice and then said.

"Issue an order that the third young master of the Song family, Song Hongshen, is the legitimate son of me and the late queen. I will personally draft a title for him and inform our ancestors. The Ministry of Rites will assist in this matter."

"The Marquis of Loyalty has made great contributions in educating the prince, and is named the King of Loyalty."

Everyone stood up and knelt on the ground to congratulate the emperor and reunite father and son.

Only Song Hongshen stood in the middle of the greenhouse and did not kneel down. When everyone shouted "Long live the emperor", the father and son looked at each other for a long time.

Emperor Xuande once again thought of Master Jingru's words and felt complicated.

Song Hongshen was thinking about what to do next. The status of the royal son was noble, but also full of dangers. After this incident, the Song family was completely put on the spot.

After everyone stood up, several princes also walked up to Song Hongshen and saluted, calling him "Royal Brother".

The prince said tentatively, "My brother will leave for Fujian tomorrow. I will host a banquet in the East Palace tonight to send him off."

The prince said this, but he actually regretted it deeply in his heart.

If he had known Song Hongshen's identity, he should have allowed him to go to Fujian smoothly, the further the better.

Why bother working so hard to find yourself a strong enemy?

At this time, the prince was eager for Song Hongshen to go to Fujian to fight the Japanese pirates. Even if he proclaimed himself king in Fujian, it would be better than waiting in the capital with a covetous eye.

So his words were a test, a test for Song Hongshen and also a test for the emperor.

As soon as the prince finished speaking, Emperor Xuande said, "I will choose someone else to lead the Fujian navy."

He had just adopted his son and they were not close yet, so how could he bear to send him to Fujian?

Although the prince was prepared, he still felt a little nervous. He thought quickly about how to place his people there.

Unexpectedly, Song Hongshen spoke as soon as the emperor finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, I nominate Xuanwu King Zhang Pan to take over from me as the leader of the Fujian navy."

"King Xuanwu's wedding is in October. After the wedding, it will be a good opportunity for him to take the princess and the old lady south."

"I also heard that the old lady of the Zhang family has always wanted to go to the south to recuperate. It would be most appropriate for him to go there."

When Song Zan finished talking about his life story, he had already started thinking about what was going to happen next. Nominating Zhang Pan to go south was also the result of his careful consideration.

First of all, Zhang Pan had said before that Fujian was a good place. He even joked that he would ask Song Hongshen to reserve a position as a deputy general for him, and then he would take his grandmother there to recuperate.

Moreover, among all the generals, Zhang Pan was the most capable and had the best relationship with him. If Zhang Pan went to Fujian, his efforts of several months would not be in vain.

So as soon as Emperor Xuande opened his mouth, he immediately took over the conversation.

Emperor Xuande pondered for a moment and asked Zhang Pan if he was willing to lead troops to Fujian.

Zhang Pan was willing to do so. He had a broken arm and had nothing to do after returning to Beijing. He was afraid that he would be an idler in the future, living a life of idleness and waiting for death with a title.

So when the emperor asked him, he immediately agreed.

After the Fujian issue was settled, Emperor Xuande announced the end of the Chrysanthemum Banquet.

He ordered Song Zan and Song Hongshen to follow him to the imperial study, and the rest of them left the palace.

Everyone first respectfully saw the emperor off, and only after watching him leave with the two of them did they stand up and walk out.

After Concubine Xian left the Imperial Garden, Jiang Ziyan followed her from behind.

"Sister Xianfei, please stay."

"Is there anything wrong, Sister Chen Fei?" Xian Fei stopped and asked.

Jiang Ziyan looked around and pointed to a secluded place not far away, "Can I have a word with you?"

Concubine Xian walked towards the place Jiang Ziyan said, wondering, did she suspect her? So she came to question her?

After the two of them stood still, Concubine Xian said with a stern face, "Sister Chen Fei, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Jiang Ziyan knelt directly in front of Concubine Xian, choking with sobs and saying, "Please save my life, Concubine Xian. I will follow your lead from now on."

Concubine Xian was startled, then she helped Jiang Ziyan up with her own hands, "What do you mean, sister? What happened?"

Jiang Ziyan cried and told what happened today, saying that someone wanted to harm her, and begged Concubine Xian to protect her and let her give birth to the baby safely.

Concubine Xian looked at Jiang Ziyan suspiciously and asked meaningfully, "Who do you think is trying to harm you?"

Jiang Ziyan was at a loss, she cried and said, "I don't know either, I just want you to protect me and my son."

She kept her head down, afraid that Concubine Xian would notice something.

In fact, when she returned to the greenhouse, she asked what had happened.

It is speculated that Concubine Xian wanted to kill two birds with one stone and use her to get rid of the Song family. But for some reason, Song Hongshen did not take the bait, so she was able to escape safely.

Today, I came to ask for help from Concubine Xian, just to humble myself and offer her a chance to live.

Although she was favored by the emperor, she had only been in the palace for a short time and the Jiang family had shallow roots.

The virtuous concubine has been in charge of the harem for more than twenty years, so it would be easy to get rid of her.

She was really scared about what happened today. She thought that because she was favored and pregnant recently, Concubine Xian was jealous and didn't want to keep her.

Seeing Concubine Xian looking at her inquiringly, Jiang Ziyan continued, "The Emperor and the King of Zhongyong have just met, and I think they are in a time of deep affection between father and son. If my sister can give some advice, it will also help the Emperor remember the kindness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The virtuous concubine pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Since you call me sister, I will protect you a little."

"When you serve the Emperor in the future, be alert. You don't need me to teach you what to do."

Jiang Ziyan bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice, Madam."

In the imperial study, Emperor Xuande walked around the desk and sat down, then motioned for Song Zan and Song Hongshen to sit down as well.

Hu Lu personally brought in the tea and was particularly respectful when serving it to Song Hongshen.

The capital city is about to change again.

Those who serve them have to watch the direction of the wind.

After Hu Lu left, Emperor Xuande asked Song Zan, "Tell me in detail what happened back then. You mentioned the separation between the emperor and the empress today, but I clearly remember that I had already made peace with Zi Ning."

He remembered what happened back then clearly, because after Song Zining passed away, he had been recalling what happened in those days.

He blamed himself for the last few days of her life, and the two of them were still suspicious and hurt.

But he always thought that she left accidentally and never thought that she was going to leave the palace and fake her death.

He asked Song Hongshen in front of him today because he wanted to resolve the knot between father and son. He was afraid that his son would hate him because of what happened back then.

When Emperor Xuande thought that this was his and Zi Ning's child, his eyes were filled with pity and guilt when he looked at Song Hongshen.
