Regardless of Huang Qiong's ability, just by being the only legitimate son left, Huang Qiong can be said to be the only remaining heir of the Supreme Emperor who is qualified to inherit the throne. Of course, some people don't think so. After all, Huang Qiong's mother only held the post for less than three years and was subsequently abolished. Although the old man later favored Concubine Jing exclusively, he never regained her position as queen. In many eyes, Huang Qiong is not considered a legitimate son. But in the absence of a legitimate son, the eldest son has the advantage.
Even if the emperor no longer likes the eldest son, he still wants to maintain political stability. In the absence of a legitimate son, the eldest son of the emperor is usually the first choice. Unless the eldest son of the emperor is really incapable of becoming emperor, or has some illness that prevents him from becoming emperor, the people who follow him will have a chance. But generally people line up according to age. Either a certain subsequent prince actually performed well, or he gained power through various means, just like Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. His father felt threatened by his power before he succeeded to the throne.
Only then did the elder brother in front of him become really afraid of this third brother, so he gave way to the crown prince several times. Only then did he have the opportunity to first sit on the position of crown prince and then inherit the throne. After entering the palace, He Yao, who had read a lot of history books, understood that if there was no legitimate son, or the legitimate son died young, the eldest son of the emperor was basically a natural candidate for the crown prince. And his son is the eldest son of the emperor. Under the current situation where there is no legitimate son. At least for now, he is the natural heir to the throne. Although He Yao didn't want his son to compete for this reserve position.
But before Huang Qiong clearly established the crown prince, his son's final status was not something he could decide. The husband also attaches great importance to his son. He personally educated the second son of the emperor and Duan Jin. Among the princes, he was the only one whose son was educated by Huang Qiong himself. Although He Yao never said anything, even if He Yao didn't understand something, he would still be aware of it.
There was a vague feeling that Huang Qiong was preparing to choose an heir from the two sons. But the key issue is that Situ Huanshuang is the queen of the middle palace. Even if she is adopted from other concubines, she is considered a legitimate son. Even in the hearts of some caring people, even Shuang'er's apprentice will be remembered. Situ Huanshuang was in such a close relationship with Cai. He knew clearly that Cai's son was a little weak. If you practice martial arts with her, even if you can't become a master, your body and bones will become stronger.
But because she took care of herself, Duan Jin, and their two children, she would rather endure everything and do nothing. Although He Yao also knew that this was not the only reason why Situ Huanshuang made such a decision. There are various other reasons. There is no legitimate son in the middle palace, so many people may be worried about the eldest son and the second son of the emperor. Especially nowadays, among the concubines in the palace, except for He Yingchun, almost none of them come from a well-known family. Everyone's status and support are basically the same.
Under this situation, it is very important what Situ Huanshuang, the middle palace, does. Thinking of this, He Yao couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. She knew that Situ Huanshuang did this because he still wanted to stand in a neutral position. She didn't want any of her decisions to interfere with Huang Qiong's decision, or cause speculation among some people in the palace, or even be used by some interested people. Although most of the women around Huang Qiong do not have this ambition. But as officials and women from noble families entered the palace or strengthened their position one after another, many things had changed.
But He Yao, who is kind-hearted, doesn't want to just watch helplessly as Cai's children continue to grow sprouts because of this incident. Especially that child still has such a relationship with Situ Huanshuang. For He Yao, he did not want his son to compete for the position of prince. Because He Yao knew that once the son, the eldest son of the emperor, sat in that position. I'm afraid it will directly become the target of public criticism. Even if the children in the palace are of good character, the ministers in the court will not be honest.
He Yao, who knew her son's character very well, honestly wasn't worried that the son she raised would do something extremely evil. She didn't want her son to take that position because she was worried that others would do something to her son. What's more, my only son, I don't know whether he followed his father or for other reasons, he was too bookish. He is addicted to books and has no scheming ambitions as an emperor. Not to mention compared with his father, even with his younger brothers who are about the same age, they are all too far apart.
Even if you can barely sit in that position, I'm afraid you may not be able to sit firmly. She is not the empress she was back then, so she cannot train another Huang Qiong. If a person who is too bookish sits in that position, he will hurt not only himself, but also all the people in the world. He Yao didn't know how he, who was not even proficient in writing, could develop such a bookish person who could read all kinds of books all day long, especially Confucian classics, and couldn't put them down even when sleeping. The son of books.
In Lin Hanyan's words, if this child is admitted to the Jinshi examination, he will be the material for the number one scholar in the future. When it comes to learning, he must be top-notch. But what if you do something else? Lin Hanyan said nothing except shaking his head. Although Lin Hanyan only said half of what he said. But He Yao also understood that Lin Hanyan almost clearly told herself that her son was a scholar. Being an emperor is actually not suitable for him. For such a son, even if he looked down upon him very lightly, He Yao was 70% relieved, and 30% still felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, his son is the eldest son of the emperor, and at least for now, he is still the first heir to the throne. Even though she no longer wanted her son to be involved in the battle for the throne, He Yao still didn't want to hear other people's comments about her son. Even He Yao knew that Lin Hanyan's words actually meant well. But after all, his son is his biological son, so he will always be unhappy in his heart. However, He Yao was somewhat glad that his brothers would not consider him a rival in the future because his son was so bookish.
Little did he know that his son and Duan Jin's son were in the Wende Palace, reluctantly reviewing the memorial for Huang Qiong, He Yao. Although his mind was somewhat heavy, he still tried his best to persuade Situ Huanshuang to accept Cai's son as his disciple. For this reason, she specially ordered people to recruit Cai and Duan Jin. By the way, Lin Hanyan, several former princesses, Duan Miao and Liu's two daughters were also recruited. Originally, he wanted to recruit Dao Meiping as well, but when he thought of Duan Jin, He Yao chose to give up.
Because Huang Qiong's evil hand had been in Situ Huanshuang's and his own clothes, He Yao, who had never taken it out, felt something familiar and strangely ferocious. She was really worried that when the master came up, she and the others would not be able to handle it. Considering that Situ Huanshuang only had a limited number of people he could accept, he finally asked his personal female officer to recruit all the people Situ Huanshuang could accept. Of course, things still need to be discussed and decided before that. Especially He Yao, who felt very sorry for Cai's son.
After the Cai family arrived, He Yao told the matter without covering up. Hearing He Yao's explanation, Duan Jin rolled his eyes and said: "That means Shuang'er has too many worries. What will happen to these children in the future is a matter of the future. Besides, His Majesty is not the kind of person who can listen to the pillow. A person who has the wind. Not to mention that the mother-in-law who dotes on that child will use this world to please women. I have been worried about Xiaowu's health since he was one year old. The child is too thin and eats like cat food. Same."
"I told Sister Cai a long time ago that I would like Xiao Wu to learn martial arts from me. I don't expect him to become a master, but at least his body will be stronger. If you are afraid that I will be disadvantageous to Xiao Wu, Shuang'er's martial arts is also very high, and She is the legitimate mother, no one dares to say anything. But Sister Cai always said that she should avoid suspicion, and it is not suitable to learn from anyone. In fact, Sister Cai is worried that Shuang'er's status is aloof, and the child will feel uncomfortable if she learns from Shuang'er. Follow me I am afraid that there will be a gap between us sisters. If you ask me, Sister Cai is too worried. "
"Shuang'er is the middle palace, and Xiaoyao and I are the noble concubines. The two little bastards we gave birth to are the eldest son of the emperor and the second son of the emperor. The three of us make the decisions for Sister Cai and Xiao Wu. Who dares to Huh? Besides, if someone is finding fault with this matter, wouldn't it be His Majesty? Xiaowu's body is the most important. Sister Cai is just such a son, so don't let anything happen to the child because of your own hesitation. We don't want the child to grow up. He has a lifespan of 100 years, let alone hope that he will have any great future. After all, His Majesty has already saved up his family wealth."
"We mothers, do we hope that our children will be healthy and live peacefully soon? As long as they don't behave like his uncles and do whatever they like. Shuang'er, Sister Cai, and Xiaowu's bodies are the best. Importantly, those false names are nothing. If Shuang'er still hesitates, I will let Duan Miao take Xiao Wu over. Although Duan Miao's martial arts is not very suitable for Xiao Wu, we don't want him to become a great master. We just let him He is healthy and will have the capital to do what he wants to do in the future, right?"
Duan Jin's words were very straightforward. Compare Cai's son with the hairy monkey-like son he gave birth to. She had always been fond of the fourth prince, who was always polite and shy, but had a skinny body. She had long been worried about him. He was afraid that something would happen to the child if there was any disturbance. Now seeing Situ Huanshuang finally relieved, Duan Jin hurriedly followed up with a few words of persuasion. After hearing that Duan Jin and He Yao had actually made a disguised guarantee, Cai sighed softly and finally nodded.
In fact, she had known for a long time that even if Situ Huanshuang accepted her son, He Yao and Duan Jin would not say anything. One of them is kind-hearted, the other is generous, and they will not get involved in such matters. But after all, there are more than just two people in the palace. Although these two noble concubines, together with the queen Situ Huanshuang, no one in the harem dared to stab her. But Cai still didn't want to cause any trouble in this matter or bring any trouble to Situ Huanshuang. Because she knew that the palace was never a peaceful place.
Especially his son, who seems to be ranked fifth in the palace, but is actually third among the princes. In addition, the relationship between himself, this child, and Situ Huanshuang. In the eyes of some people, he is actually one of the contenders for the throne. Therefore, Mrs. Cai would rather raise her son carefully than bring any trouble to Situ Huanshuang because of this matter. But Duan Jin was right. His son was born prematurely for more than a month. In addition, when he was pregnant with the child, he was a bit old and his bones were not in good condition.
Why don't I worry about the things that Duan Jin is worried about? Ms. Cai didn't even know if she would still be able to survive if the child encountered a big storm and couldn't bear it. This is his only flesh and blood. Duan Jin had hinted to himself more than once before that if he was really worried about causing trouble to Situ Huanshuang, he could let his son and his two brothers practice martial arts with her. If that doesn't work, you can learn from Liu's second daughter or Qingzi Erluo. Don't always worry too much. Put your child's health first.
