Tang Fu naturally seized this opportunity, and all the resources and connections of the Tang family were tilted towards her. While supporting Tang Fu, the Tang family was mostly trying to save themselves.
The third prince had a good impression of Tang Fu. Although Concubine Liu later expressed her displeasure with Tang Fu, the third prince's thoughts were the same as when he treated Jian Yu before. He believed that his mother had misunderstood Tang Fu.
Tang Fu is the kind of person who doesn't know how to explain herself and is prone to do bad things with good intentions. In fact, her heart is not bad, she is very smart, but her personality is too soft, and sometimes she can't even defend herself!
I have to say that Tang Fu's character creation for the third prince was quite successful. Even for Concubine Liu, the third prince still didn't think there was anything wrong with Tang Fu.
Of course, the third prince now has no obligation to Tang Fu in terms of his relationship with Tang Fu.
Jian Yu is a relationship accelerator for the male and female protagonists. After she traveled through time, she did not get involved in the emotional issues between the male and female protagonists. She even tried to secretly provide assistance because of Zhou Jinyan's relationship.
Without stepping on Jian Yu, the number one female supporting role, the relationship between the male and female protagonists would naturally slow down.
In addition, Jian Yu caused trouble for Tang Fu in other aspects, which gave Tang Fu quite a headache. Most of her time in "attacking" the third prince was spent on dealing with Jian Yu.
As a result, the relationship between the male and female protagonists has not warmed up enough yet.
To put it bluntly, Tang Fu was still a dispensable character in the initial stage, and the male protagonist did not suddenly realize how much Tang Fu truly loved him.
Tang Fu knew that if she wanted to marry the third prince, she had to stabilize her original innocent image and deepen it.
Through deliberate design, Tang Fu lost her virginity to the third prince.
The whole thing first went through the operation of the Tang family, making the third prince think that the eldest prince and the second prince had taken action against him, allowing him to have an affair with a married woman, and then caught him in bed and caused a big incident.
At that time, his reputation and character will be questioned. At this juncture, it will undoubtedly be a considerable loss.
After passing the blame on the political opponents of the third prince, the title of "benefactor" naturally falls on himself.
Tang Fu pretended to have discovered the conspiracy and came to inform the third prince, but it turned out that the third prince had been drugged and he could not control it and forcibly had sex with Tang Fu.
Tang Fu was also the victim of the whole incident. Even though Tang Fu was "persecuted", she still cleverly led him to escape from the trap and avoid the schemes of the eldest prince or the second prince.
While the third prince was grateful, he was naturally responsible for Tang Fu.
The third prince also investigated this matter secretly, but the Tang family had made sufficient preparations, so the information the third prince found was what the Tang family wanted him to see.
The third prince, who has gone through a series of events in the later stages, may be able to see through this kind of thing. The current third prince does not have such sophisticated eyesight, and the Tang family did not make things out of thin air. The eldest prince and the second prince do have this tendency.
What is true is also false, and sometimes false is true, so Tang Fu's strategy was quite successful.
——The third prince took the bait.
Concubine Liu has been in contact with the Cui family for a long time, and the position of princess has passed through the emperor's side. However, the imperial edict has not yet been issued. No matter how guilty the third prince feels about Tang Fu, it is impossible to change the position of princess.
As the legitimate daughter of the Tang family and the niece of the Queen Mother, Tang Fu had a good reputation and status in Shengjing. It was too easy to marry a noble family and become the head wife, but it was impossible to become a concubine.
Losing her virginity to him was, in the end, wronging Tang Fu.
It was an indisputable fact that the two had a physical relationship. Finally, the third prince went to the emperor to ask for a marriage.
Of course, this was all proposed by Tang Fu. She made a step back to not embarrass the third prince. Tang Fu told the third prince that she admired him and didn't care about her status as long as she could be with him.
But she couldn't represent herself. She was also a daughter of the Tang family, and the family members could not be implicated by her. Tang Fu meant that the emperor granted her a marriage, so that her status as a concubine would not be discussed.
This will become a different nature, and the Tang family will not be criticized for it.
When talking about this, Tang Fu didn't insist on the third prince doing this. She also said that if it didn't work, she wouldn't make it difficult for the third prince. The worst she could do was accompany Qing Deng all the time and twist her hair to become a aunt.
How could the Third Prince hear this? Tang Fu saved him, how could he repay kindness with enmity? So the third prince went to propose marriage to the emperor.
As the saying goes, children who cry get sweets. The third prince told them about his traditional Chinese medicine and gave the eldest prince and second prince some eye drops.
What he said was that he didn't expect that at this time, the two brothers would be interested in punishing him like this if they didn't like him.
The third prince did not explicitly say that they were fighting for the throne. He explained in a different tone that the emperor was not harsh and could understand the other meaning behind his words.
The emperor asked the third prince to go back and wait for news, saying that after all, she was a girl from the Tang family, and she had to talk to the Queen Mother about it, and she also had to inform Concubine Liu.
Three days after the third prince left, the emperor issued two marriage decrees, which were sent to Cui Mansion and Tang Mansion respectively.
"The emperor attaches great importance to the third prince now?"
Jian Yu was no longer thinking about Tang Fu and the third prince. What she valued more was the emperor's attitude.
Just like what was said outside, he had all the benefits of marrying two darling wives to the third prince. If he wanted a holy favor, he would have a holy favor, and he would have his men for all the civil and military ministers! The third prince is unparalleled in the limelight.
The main reason is that the emperor's imperial edict is so thought-provoking! The two women given to the third prince, she didn't believe that the emperor didn't know what they represented behind them!
So the emperor prefers the third prince to ascend the throne?
This was not good news. Jian Yu felt quite heavy. At this time, Zhou Jinyan said: "Yes and no."
Um?
Jian Yu said nothing, waiting for Zhou Jinyan to continue.
"The third prince is blinded by the Tang family, but the emperor brother is not. The depth and direction of his investigation are beyond the reach of the people sent by the third prince..."
The third prince told the story about his traditional Chinese medicine, so the emperor naturally had to investigate. The people Zhou Jinyan left behind were of use here.
In two days, the secret investigation revealed the ambitions of the Tang family. After all, the Tang family did not hide their attitude at all before, and there were rumors that Tang Fu was the third prince's concubine.
Although there is no clear evidence, it is basically certain that no matter who is behind the drugging, the Tang family is definitely not innocent.
The Empress Dowager must not be left behind when investigating the Tang family. The Emperor never expected that the Empress Dowager, who he thought was spending her whole life in the harem, was actually quite ambitious! He is not a bit dissatisfied with his old age, and all he thinks about is planning things for his mother clan.
Many little things that he had ignored before were all attributed to the Queen Mother.
For example, during the flower-viewing banquet, the Empress Dowager wanted to make Tang Fu more famous, and everything was set up, but it was disrupted by Princess Jing falling into the water.
The Tang family wanted to jump on the third prince's boat, and the emperor was happy to do so. Even if he blocked it now, he could not stop the Tang family's little moves in private.
The throne is not easy to get, and his attitude is that only those who are capable will occupy it.
If the third prince can control the Tang family for his own use, it will be a test. If the little Tang family can fool him around, wouldn't he be kept in the dark when the ministers go to court in the future? , as a puppet?
Does the emperor like the third prince? No.
It's just a test. Such a test will also appear to the eldest prince and the second prince in different ways and angles.
Today's Shengjing seems calm, but in fact it is turbulent.
"Princess, it's time for us to appear."
Let those restless people see what a real show is.
