Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty

Zhao Yiyi, who was cared about by the Eight Sage King's family, naturally had an uncomfortable life after entering the palace.

There is no other reason - he came into the palace to be the crown prince, and the crown prince is the foundation of the country, with the most important status.

But Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng did not give him this title in the first place.

Even if you are the emperor's nephew, you are taken into the palace, and you are loved by the emperor and live next door to the emperor, but as long as the emperor does not issue an imperial decree and declare to the world to recognize you as the prince, you can only be a backup. Living in the palace without embarrassment or embarrassment, looking forward to the death of the emperor before the birth of the legitimate heir.

If the emperor dies first, then congratulations, the former emperor is the most optimistic about you among the clan's children, you can be the emperor.

If the emperor gave birth to a son before his death, then I'm sorry, who cares about you when you have your own prince?Hurry up and stay cool.

Unless you are crowned prince and Yuyuelongmen becomes a real dragon, theoretically no prince born after that will threaten your inheritance.

Of course, after most emperors have their own sons, they must abolish their adopted son's position as prince.

Zhao Heng lost his son in his middle age, and he was disheartened. He knew that he might never have a son again, and he needed to adopt a son from a relative to inherit the family's throne.

However, it is human nature, he always feels, what if?What if I give birth to another son?

If the adopted son is given the title of prince at this time, and his appetite is raised, then, how to choose between the adopted son and the parent-child?

If you choose an adopted son, you will feel unwilling. If you choose a parent-child, you will have to abolish the prince again. The prince is the foundation of the country, and frequent abolition is not conducive to stabilizing the court.

So Song Zhenzong told this concern to Empress Liu E who came back from the next dynasty.

That's right, in Song Zhenzong's family, Empress Liu E was in charge of meeting the officials and handling the government affairs.

Emperor Zhao Heng is in charge of taking care of the family.

This is also because of Zhao Heng's poor health in his later years, and his hypocritical, weak, and vacillating temperament, so Liu E, who is young and tough, took over the affairs of the previous dynasty.

Liu E heard Zhao Heng's entanglement, and smiled easily: "What's the matter? What the officials worry about is nothing more than that if a prince comes to the inner palace, it will be difficult for Yi Yi to deal with it. If you don't make Yi Yi the prince first, just Don’t set up a prince for now. If there is a little prince born, he will make the little prince a prince. You will be the prince’s elder brother, and you will do your best to help the prince in the future. Even if you are unfortunate that there is no prince, you will be able to have a title if you benefit, so you won’t be at a loss gone."

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this.

Liu E's method really won his heart.

Establish Zhao Yiyi as the prince, who can advance, attack, retreat and defend.When the time comes when he has a son, he will make his son the crown prince, and Zhao Yiyi will still be his prince, so it doesn't matter if there is an extra prince.

Even if he really can't have a son, if he has a prince, he will also have a successor. After a hundred years, Jiangshan will also have a trust.

Liu E added another word from the side: "My concubine has heard that there is a folk saying that adopting a son attracts a son. If you adopt an extra adopted son, you can attract a younger brother even more."

These words entered Zhao Heng's heart.He couldn't help fantasizing that after October, another prince was born in the harem. The prince grew up and softly called him Daddy, Brother Zhao Yiyi, and Empress Liu E.

They are a family of four, harmonious and beautiful, happy.

That's right, although Zhao Heng didn't plan to make Zhao Yiyi the crown prince for the time being, he really liked Zhao Yiyi in his heart and thought it would be nice to have such an extra son.

By the way, there is also the little prince's biological mother, preferably Ren Meiren.

Ren Meiren has a good singing voice and often sings some little songs from her hometown to him.Ren Meiren's skin is as smooth as satin, her eyes are like water, pure and gentle, she should be the best candidate for the birth mother of the prince.

Thinking that he hadn't summoned Beauty Ren for half a month because of the prince's affairs, Zhao Heng felt like a cat scratching his heart. He wondered if Beauty Ren thought about him so much that she secretly shed tears, and wondered if Beauty Ren had prepared a new one. The ditties are waiting to be sung to him...

Zhao Heng's thoughts flew to Ren Meiren's place early. He held on to Liu E's hand, imagining the warm picture of a family of four in the future, with Ren Meiren serving and singing ditties.

Liu E looked at him like this, how could he not know what he was thinking.

She smiled softly and said: "It's been cold recently, and the sisters in the harem should also make autumn clothes. There is also sister Ren, who is always weak and weak, and coughs when the season changes. It's inappropriate for a concubine, a queen, to fall in love with her."

Zhao Heng coughed: "Her own body, just take care of yourself, don't worry about her."

Liu E patted Zhao Heng with a smile: "What a cruel official! This concubine beats up this heartless man who doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade!"

Zhao Heng stood up with the opportunity: "Okay, okay, you sisters are relatives, and you joined hands to beat me! I have to avoid you!"

Speaking of getting dressed, he went to the harem.

After Liu E waited for him to go out, she also tidied up her clothes and asked the maid next to her, "Is the little prince's clothes ready?"

Gong'e Fushen replied: "Yesterday I was in a hurry and didn't have time to measure the little prince's body, so I asked the needleworker to rush out a few pieces overnight according to the similar size of the child, and I can handle it for the time being."

Liu E shook his head: "He is the prince, the future emperor of my Great Song Dynasty. How dare you deal with him like this? Go and pick out the new and bright ones from the prince's old clothes and send them to the little prince. You and Liu En will also go and have a good time." Serve him. If there is a slight negligence, don't blame me for not missing the old relationship."

Gong'e and the eunuch named Liu En hurriedly knelt down to accept orders.

Zhao Yiyi was having breakfast when he saw the person sent by the queen.Hearing that the queen is coming, I hurried out to meet her.

These days Song Zhenzong has been slow to give him a title, and he has some plans in his heart, but he hasn't figured out where to start first.

Seeing these people and clothes sent by the queen, he suddenly became enlightened.

It seems that he is not the only one who is worried.

The empress sent a man and a woman, two big palace ladies, and the rest of the little palace maids and eunuchs, and several sets of bright and gorgeous four seasons clothes.

Zhao Yiyi touched the clothes curiously, and even picked them up to look at the embroidery on them, looking innocent and childlike.

The big eunuch hurriedly took off the clothes, smiled and persuaded Zhao Yiyi: "Your Highness, it's sunny outside, let's go inside and have a look."

Zhao Yiyi gave him the clothes and tilted his head: "Who are you?"

The eunuch replied: "Liu En, my servant, I have seen Your Highness."

Zhao Yiyi nodded: "Okay."

Turned around and walked back, then turned his head again: "Follow me!"

Liu En hurriedly followed.

Back indoors, Zhao Yiyi, like ordinary children, looked carefully at the clothes that Empress Liu sent.

These clothes looked neat and bright at first glance, as if they were new clothes, but the embroidered areas were a little soft, not as crisp as when they were newly embroidered.

It should be clothes that have been made for a while, but have only been worn once or twice, and some have not even been worn once.

Whose these clothes belong to, or who they originally belonged to, is ready to be revealed.

This should be the clothes of the dead prince.

Zhao Yiyi didn't feel uncomfortable wearing dead people's clothes. After all, he didn't believe in any strange things. Besides, the clothes were innocent, bright and beautiful, and he liked them too.

What he cares about is the attitude of Liu E who gave him these clothes.

Liu E should be showing favor to him.

From Liu E's point of view, her son died, and she would rather her husband adopt her nephew as an adopted son than let the Yingying and Yanyan in the harem give Zhao Hengsheng another prince.

She became a queen because she gave birth to a prince, and she knew the truth that a mother is more expensive than a child.

Zhao Heng is also a person with soft ears and no opinions. If someone else gave birth to a son for him and blows the pillow wind, it will be difficult for her to keep her position as queen.

Even if she keeps her position as empress, when the crown prince succeeds in the future and she becomes empress dowager herself, there will still be an emperor's biological mother who will be on top of her, holding her back everywhere.

Even if it imitates the story of Han Wu, leaving the mother and keeping the son, when the emperor grows up in the future and knows why his biological mother died, it is inevitable that he will not have a heart-to-heart relationship with her and want to take revenge on her.

After much deliberation, it would be more cost-effective to adopt an adopted son and support him to a higher position.

Zhao Yiyi is the son of the prince and has no relatives in the palace. The only one he can rely on is Liu E who offered him an olive branch.

Liu E did not have a son who wanted to be an emperor, nor did he have a mother who wanted to be a queen. There was no conflict of interest between him and Liu E.

In addition, he is still young, so he will be close and well-raised from now on.

So Liu E is coming to get close to him.

He said to Liu En: "Your Majesty gave me clothes, I should go and thank you."

Liu En wiped the corners of his eyes: "Your Highness is so filial, it's really rare. It's better to wear the clothes sent by the empress, and the empress will be more happy after seeing it."

Zhao Yiyi nodded: "That's true." He pointed casually: "Just change this one."

Liu En picked up the clothes to help him change, and led him to Fengchen Palace to meet Liu E.

Liu E was waiting for him. Seeing him coming, she went down the stairs to meet him, holding on to his hand, her eyes were red: "Look at you, you and your brother really look like..."

After speaking, he choked up.

Zhao Yiyi's elder brother, of course, does not refer to Zhao Yunxi who is far away in the eight sages' mansion, but refers to the dead prince.

Let Zhao Yiyi wear the old clothes of the prince, and say that he looks like the prince, and there is only one purpose, which is to express Liu E's own attitude: she supports Zhao Yiyi to become the prince.

Zhao Yiyi's answer was more direct - he threw himself into Liu E's arms, crying loudly: "Aniang! Aniang!"

The crying went straight to the sky, crying out the helplessness and hesitation of a seven-year-old child who suddenly entered the palace and was separated from his relatives, and because he found "aunt", he brought some coquettishness and indulgence.

At this speed, Zhao Yiyi has practiced several times in a place where no one is around, and now it is the first actual combat, and the effect is quite good.

And Liu E is also an old drama player comparable to Zhao Yiyi. She stroked Zhao Yiyi's head and cried: "My son! My miserable son!"

The two drama actors competed with each other for a quarter of an hour, and they both felt dry eyes and thirsty, so they went into the room together to wash their faces and drink tea.

The names of mother and child are settled in this way.

After washing his face and wiping his hands, the scented tea and snacks were served. Liu E poured Zhao Yiyi a cup of honey water, watched him eat a snack, and asked, "What did you read when you were at home?" book?"

Zhao Yiyi swallowed the snack, thought for a while, and said, "I read the Analects."

Liu Houdao: "When you enter the palace, you can't miss your homework when you come to A Niang. A Niang wants to choose a teacher for benefit, what do you think of benefit?"

Zhao Yiyi said: "It's all up to A Niang. I don't know who is the master of Yiyi?"

Liu E said with a smile: "What will happen to the general's fame and fame? The unbearable situation is like rushing around. That Kou Gongzhun who was selected as a Jinshi by Emperor Taizong at the age of 19, can you know who has benefited?"
