Fake concubine, real queen

Master He wanted to discipline his son, but unfortunately he didn't know that the soul in his son's body was no longer that 16-year-old boy.

No matter how hard he tried to persuade him, Lord He Xiaohou leaned against the interior of the carriage, but remained motionless, and even picked his ears impatiently.

He Nanfeng: "..."

He tried his best, but didn't see any effect. He knew that He Gu made a fuss, and it was useless even if he became angry and furious, so he could only sigh.

The carriage was already approaching the Marquis of Changyang.

"Forget it... I can't talk to you, but even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Changyang Houfu and your sister..."

He Nanfeng paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "...Did you believe the rumors that the position of the crown prince will change hands...that's why you came up with the idea of ​​His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?"

Before returning to Beijing, He Gu was clearly a passionate man with ideals and aspirations, and He Lao Houye still did not believe that he would ruin his future future just because of the beauty of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.

He thought to himself, this kid must have made a wrong idea, wanted to find another way, and started thinking about becoming the future emperor's brother-in-law, right?

After all, since the founding of the country, although the Dai Viet Dynasty seems to have been strictly preventing foreign relatives from interfering in politics, many government orders have not implemented orders and prohibitions. There are not a few people who shout slogans.

For example, the elder brother of the first queen and the second queen, Chen Yuanfu, Minister of the Ministry of officials, Mr. Chen.

Consultant He: "What rumor?"

He Lao Hou said: "A few days ago, there was indeed news in the palace that His Highness the Crown Prince made a mistake and offended the Junfu, and was grounded in the East Palace. Although I don't know what wrong His Highness did, but since the Holy Majesty only grounded him, it can be seen that I still have expectations for His Royal Highness, hoping that he will reform himself."

"Although your majesty is very affectionate with the empress, over the years, he has never expressed the slightest thought of changing the owner of the Eastern Palace or changing the reserve position... It can be seen that His Royal Highness is in the heart of the emperor. Eighty-nine times he is still the prince."

"The former empress passed away many years ago. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is no better than His Highness the Third Highness in this regard, he has a mother who is the mother of the world. Therefore, there have always been some people with little knowledge in Beijing these years, saying that His Majesty will sooner or later abolish the crown and reestablish it."

"But they didn't think about it, just because they were weak and sick and couldn't bear the cold weather in the north, and they were raised in Jinling since childhood... The third highness didn't grow up under His Majesty's knees, and he didn't see his father for many years, how could he be better than the one raised by His Majesty since childhood What about the eldest son of Empress Yuan?"

Old Master He shook his head, and told his son the inhumane conjecture he had pondered over. The more he said, the more he felt that what he said was a true insight. It's getting weirder.

He Laohou still has a hand in cheating his son, this is not the first time He Gu has heard these words.

In his previous life, he was so misled...that he fell into the prince's family.

Old Master He was still talking, and He Gu was still fine, but he started to talk about himself and became worried again.

"...Shu'er is just a woman after all, she has never seen anything before, so I'm afraid she will believe it after hearing some rumors, so..."

He Gu hesitated to speak.

He Nanfeng didn't really think that Wan Shu'er wanted her to be her son-in-law because she wanted the Marquis of Changyang to embrace the thighs of the queen and the third prince, right?

He doesn't really think that Wan Shu'er is a virtuous woman who is dedicated to the good of the He family, right?

No, no, no?

He Nanfeng said again: "...It seems that the hereditary nobles of our family are not afraid of meritorious deeds, but past achievements, especially the battle for the reserve position, which is even more treacherous and unpredictable. At that time, no matter how rich you are in the past, it is difficult to keep it, there are too many lessons from the past."

After He Nanfeng finished speaking, he realized that He Gu hadn't spoken.

The corners of Master He Xiaohou's lips curled up slightly, he looked at his father a little strangely, and his smile was slightly ironic.

"If you don't stand on the wrong team, does dad think you can keep your wealth?"

He said this so suddenly, He Nanfeng froze for a moment, not understanding what he was talking about.

The carriage had already stopped in front of the Hou's mansion, and He Gu bowed his waist to prepare to go down. He paused, looked back at Mr. He who hadn't recovered from his composure, and added leisurely: "...now Da Yuehai Yan Heqing, the holy dragon is healthy and in his prime, father should not think too much about it."

There are some things that He Gu has lived through, and his mind is clear, but it is not easy for him to tell Old Master He directly.

For example, without him, He Gu, it's hard to say whether the dragon chair under the new emperor's butt in the future will be safe or not.

It's not that He Gu is arrogant. The second prince of the last generation, Pei Zhaolin, fought with the crown prince for more than ten years, but it was a pity that there was a gap in the end.

When Pei Zhaolin was besieged on the banks of the Lingjiang River, the new emperor had already ascended the throne as emperor. He knew that the new emperor would not be able to tolerate him. people curse.

I would like to gamble and admit defeat, the winner loses the bandit, the second prince slayed himself on the bank of the Lingjiang River, and before he died, he only sighed in a hoarse voice: "Big brother wins me, there are nothing more than two. One is the eldest son of the Yuan Dynasty. The father of a concubine doesn't like it; the second is...the eldest brother got He Zihuan you."

At that time, He Gu was ordered by the emperor to bring Pei Zhaolin back to the capital. If he couldn't bring back a living person, he would also take the head of Xiang Shang back.

When He Gu heard what Pei Zhaolin said, he just laughed it off.

He took care of the second prince for the new emperor, and copied the third prince's Prince Ke's mansion.

During those days, no matter whether it was the high-spirited nobles in the past or the once-pretentious Qingliu in Beijing, as long as they were involved in the battle for the heir apparent, anyone who heard the name He Gu would change color with horror.

Lord He Hou is the blood-stained knife of the new emperor——

Dirty but sharp.

Later, He Gu was questioned for one reason, which was the indiscriminate killing of royal family members.

It was only later that He Gu realized that standing in the wrong team was fatal, but no matter who he followed, the shady sword would always be put away after the country was settled.

After being reborn, he thought more and more clearly that He Gu didn't blame the prince so much, but he would also stay far away from the prince.

In this life, He Gu doesn't want to be anyone's sword anymore, he just wants to be an ordinary person, get married and have children with the woman he likes, live a more relaxed life, and whoever loves it will want what he wants.

As for the eldest princess hating men——

He Gu believes that water drips through stone, as long as they get married and he behaves well, the eldest princess will always be moved by him!

------

On the fifth day of March, the palace selected sons-in-law for the eldest princess Pei Zhaoyu, and selected more than ten sons-in-law from clean and clean families in Gyeonggi, and entered the palace one by one to participate in the inspection of the inner court.

No matter how He Nanfeng frowned, Lord He Xiaohou still dressed himself up handsomely, and Shi Shiran went out.

These days, Zhengye also saw that something was wrong. The son's reaction really didn't look like he was in love with a noble lady from an official family outside the palace. The sons of officials who are on the consort's waiting list are very diligent.

...It was almost as if Zhengye had to find out all the eight generations of ancestors in the family.

Although He Gu has been a bachelor for two lifetimes and doesn't know how to chase girls, but right now choosing a son-in-law is not about chasing girls, there are far more competitors.

He is good at fighting with others——

The art of war is not learned for nothing. Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

On the carriage entering the palace, He Gu was still holding the small note that he handwritten to review before he came.

The words on the small note were densely packed, Zhengye leaned his head and glanced at them, and saw that the note was full of information and information on competitors and imaginary enemies listed by Master He Xiaohou.

"The eldest son of the Rongyuan uncle's mansion, Lu Guining.

Appearance: above average (but not as good as me); literary talent: fair (but not as good as me), martial arts: sloppy (not as good as me), love for the princess: ominous.

The second son of Hubu Shangshu, Wang Muchuan.

Appearance: above average (but not as good as me); literary talent: excellent (I am not as good as many!); martial arts: none, love for the princess: none (far behind me)..."

Zhengye took a few glances, his mind was filled with the three big characters "not as good as me" written by He Gu in various handwritings, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He finally couldn't hold back the guess in his heart, and couldn't help but said: "Master, are you serious?"

Regardless of the bumping of the carriage, He Gu was still concentrating on the little note, and said, "What?"

Zhengye: "..."

It's not hard to guess what the young master is thinking, Zhengye guessed almost immediately that there is only one reason for him to be like this——

It seems that the favorite woman that the elder son told him that day is most likely the eldest princess.

Zhengye was a little speechless: "You are not as good as you in this note. If this is the case, is it necessary to read it so seriously?"

He Gu looked up at him and said, "Who said that?"

He pointed to the back of Wang Muchuan's name, the five characters "I'm not as good as" behind "Literature: Excellent", his face was full of worry.

"I definitely can't write the article about Second Brother Wang. He clearly has no intention of being a son-in-law, so somehow he is also on the list in the palace."

As soon as the two finished speaking, the carriage seemed to have arrived in front of the palace gate. As soon as it stopped, He Gu heard a slightly mocking voice from a young man outside the carriage.

"Who knows if this rumor was spread by He Gu himself? If His Majesty really liked him, he should have been appointed for His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess long ago. How could he still be elected together with us?"

"We were all called into the palace. Your Majesty didn't say that we were divided into high and low, high and low, and high and low. Which one of you is not a good-looking man with good looks and good civil and military skills? As long as the result of the inner court secretary does not come out, the position of the son-in-law will be taken." Everyone has a chance!"

He Gu: "..."

Why haven't you started to choose, he seems to be the target of public criticism...
