"Who is that person? He's so arrogant!" Qu Xiaofeng couldn't help but said in surprise when he saw Gao Zhen's arrogant words.
"Gao Zhen, the third son of Prime Minister Gao," explained Xiang Nan.
"Gao Xiang?" Qu Xiaofeng blinked, still not understanding.
Although she has been in the Toyo Dynasty for more than two months, she has always been bored in the palace. She knew almost nothing about the previous dynasty, and no one told her about these things.
"Gao Xiangye Gao Ming, the queen's biological uncle, my uncle. His eldest son Gao Xian is the general of Zhenyuan in the Anhu Prefecture of the Western Region; his second son Gao Kun is the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs." Xiang Nan explained.
"..." Qu Xiaofeng suddenly realized.
No wonder Gao Zhen dared to speak out wild words, it turns out he really has such strength.
Not to mention Gao Ming and Gao Kun, Gao Xian alone is known as the "Emperor of the Earth" in the Western Region. Even her father, the King of Xizhou, is very afraid.
It would make sense if his brother was a little more arrogant.
However, Mingyue actually didn't even like such a young master from an aristocratic family. She just ignored him when she said she wouldn't see him. He was indeed so charming, which made her more and more interested in him.
"Okay, it's getting late, we should go back." Xiang Nan reminded.
"Stay a little longer." Qu Xiaofeng said reluctantly.
"It's not like we can't come out in the future. There are plenty of opportunities." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Really?! That's a deal." Upon hearing this, Qu Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"However, you have to do your homework well so that I can speak for you in front of my great-grandmother and queen mother. Then I can ask for favors from them and take you out to play." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I heard that your I haven't even recited the "Female Commandments" for a month."
"I'll just carry it." Qu Xiaofeng promised immediately.
Xiang Nanfang nodded.
…
"Boss Mi, it's getting late, we should go back." Xiang Nan said to Milo.
Milo nodded, "Okay, it's time for me to close up. From then on...you guys come often."
"The wine here is so delicious and the people are so beautiful. I will naturally come here often in the future." Qu Xiaofeng playfully scratched Milo's nose, like a swinger teasing a beautiful woman.
"Thank you for taking care of me, uncle!" Milo also cooperated with the show.
The four of them laughed and then said goodbye.
Xiang Nan sent Qu Xiaofeng and A'du back to the palace.
"Li Chengyin, thank you, I had a great time today." Qu Xiaofeng said to Xiang Nan after getting off the car.
"You're welcome. In fact, you should thank Grandma more. She was afraid that you would be too bored in the palace, so she asked me to take you out to play." Xiang Nan smiled.
"I want to thank you all." Qu Xiaofeng nodded.
…
A few days later, Xiang Nan received the bracelet made by Qu Xiaofeng himself.
Weaved with gold and silver threads, embellished with rubies, cat's eyes, emeralds, glass beads, etc. It is no exaggeration to say that just dismantling and selling these gems would be enough to make the world rich.
But what Xiang Nan values more is the friendship it contains, because Xizhou women only make bead strings for the people they like.
Over the next month or so, Xiang Nan took Qu Xiaofeng out of the palace several times to play, and their relationship became closer and closer.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Seeing Xiang Nan and Qu Xiaofeng walking so close, the other princes were naturally a little frightened.
Because Qu Xiaofeng is the crown prince appointed by the Feng Dynasty, it is related to the safety of the Western Territory. Whichever prince can marry her will undoubtedly be more qualified to be the prince.
Therefore, Xiang Nan was obviously a long way ahead, which naturally made other princes who aspired to become the crown prince extremely anxious.
Therefore, the loyal prince who supported the second prince Li Chengye finally couldn't hold himself back and united with his ministers to petition the emperor to establish the prince's position as soon as possible.
When Li Hao saw these memorials, he was naturally very unhappy. "The prince has only passed away a few months ago. Why are you so anxious to make me a heir? Do you think that I am old and not healthy enough, so you have to make me a prince?"
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. I, like my colleagues, are deeply saddened by the death of the prince. It's just that after our war with Danchi, the hearts of all the countries in the Western Region are unstable!
Now the marriage between our dynasty and Xizhou has been decided, and the nine princesses of Xizhou have also joined our dynasty for several months. However, the crown prince's position has not yet been decided, and the wedding dates of these nine princesses have been postponed again and again. I am worried that if things go on like this, it will make people in all countries in the Western Territory uneasy. "King Zhong quickly replied.
Li Hao's face turned cold.
In fact, he had known that the death of the prince was inseparable from King Xuande.
However, he needed to maintain a balance in the court and let the forces of King Xuande and King Zhong contain Gao Ming. Therefore, he could not defeat King Xuande and his family and let Gao Ming monopolize the court.
So he suppressed the matter and even ordered King Xuande to investigate the assassination of the prince and clear his name. Unexpectedly, King Zhong still has the nerve to grieve for the prince. It is really unreasonable.
"Prince Zhong, who do you think is qualified to succeed the crown prince among the princes?" Li Su asked coldly.
"Since ancient times, it has been established to establish a direct lineage without establishing an elder, and to establish an elder without establishing a child. The Queen and the Empress have no heirs. These two princes are the oldest among the princes. This time they have made another military exploit in the battle with Dan Chi. In He has high prestige among the princes.
The second prince is brave and resourceful, and possesses both political integrity and talent. I believe that the second prince is the best choice for the crown prince, whether it is to establish an elder or a virtuous person. "King Zhong replied immediately.
When Li Hao heard this, he became even more angry.
When an emperor establishes a heir, he should be independent and decisive, but his ministers dare to comment on it. This is simply disrespectful and audacious.
However, he still showed no emotion or anger on his surface, "I will consider it, Prince Zhong, please step back first."
King Zhong bowed and saluted, then withdrew.
…
The loyal king united his ministers to petition for the establishment of a crown prince, which soon spread throughout the court and the public.
Xiang Nan naturally knew it immediately, and he immediately went to find Gao Ming in the middle of the night.
"Uncle, what suggestions do you have for King Zhong's request to establish a crown prince?" he asked.
In the play, Li Chengyin deliberately alienated his uncle Gu Ruhui after returning to Beijing because he died at the hands of Gao Ming. He only comes to ask for help when he needs support. He even made false claims behind Gao Ming's back many times, which soon aroused Gao Ming's vigilance.
Xiang Nan is not that stupid. The contact between him and the Gao family has never been broken. Before ascending to the throne of prince, he would not be alienated from the Gao family.
"Prince Yi is anxious?" Gao Ming glanced at Xiang Nan and asked.
"A little bit." Xiang Nan nodded.
In fact, he was not in a hurry. On the one hand, he knew that the emperor intended to make Li Chengye the crown prince; on the other hand, he also knew that Li Chengye would not last long as the crown prince.
However, he still had to act in front of Gao Ming. Otherwise, if he acts too smart, he will be feared by Gao Ming.
The person Gao Ming wants to support is a prince who is smart, but not smart enough to be controlled by him. If Xiang Nan is too smart and will escape his control sooner or later, then he will not give his full support.
In the play, Gao Ming noticed something was wrong with Li Chengyin, so he sent his daughter Gao Ruyi to the palace in the hope of giving birth to a dragon son to replace Li Chengyin.
