Chapter 503 Human nature is so complex and changeable
"Prince, have you ever heard of the Qin family? Although they were considered a prosperous family in other places before, after I, Prime Minister Qin, moved my family to the imperial capital with the help of the Dragon, they are nothing in the imperial capital."
Xiao Yanan nodded in agreement.
"Prime Minister Qin has become the head of the Three Dukes by his own efforts. Do you think he is doing this just for himself? He also hopes that his descendants will take root in the land of the imperial capital and grow into towering trees here, just like those aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. No matter which dynasty changes, they will always stand firm."
"So that's how it is! Prime Minister Qin is indeed an old fox."
"The Third Prince chose Qin Yumo this time, and all the Queen and her previous plans were in vain. He is too young to understand these things, and he has not thought so deeply. Prime Minister Qin wants to help him, so he must have used the power of the nobles. What was the Third Prince like before?"
"He is close to the poor!"
"Yes, so now he has to turn to the side of the nobles. The queen couldn't help herself. She still felt that the power of the poor was too weak and too loose to be controlled. In fact, he had his eyes on the power of the nobles from the beginning, but the nobles didn't like her."
"If the Queen and the Third Prince make this choice, it would be tantamount to standing in opposition to the Emperor." Xiao Yan'an now came to his senses.
"The queen is no longer afraid, because she feels that there is no prince in the court who can compete with the third prince for the position of crown prince. After enduring for so many years, she feels that she has finally come out on top,"
"That seems to be the case. Besides, the daughter of the Cao family has only been pregnant for a short time. We don't know whether it is a boy or a girl yet. The child is still so young. It will take more than ten years for him to grow up. How can he compete with the Third Prince who has been in power for so many years?"
"In fact, the Third Prince's enemy has never been the prince himself, but his father. I also can't understand why the Emperor has no intention of establishing a crown prince. He made the Fourth Prince a king just as he said he would, and he didn't seem to be training the Third Prince to be a crown prince. He also didn't show any love for the remaining princes."
In the previous life, when Ji Chuhe died, the issue of the succession was still unclear.
She had previously formed an alliance with the Queen in order to help the Third Prince.
"Let's not worry about the issue of appointing a crown prince for now. As long as Qingqing and the third prince cancel their engagement, we will have nothing to worry about." Xiao Yan'an was too lazy to think so much now.
"Yes." Ji Chuhe nodded, "My Lord, after you finish this matter, you can have a good rest and spend more time with Aunt Lin at home."
"Madam, I think I should go out more often. Whether it's about the business in the shop or making friends with some officials in the court, it will be beneficial. Some time ago, you still said that we should cooperate with those shops? Let's make this happen as soon as possible."
Xiao Yan'an actually still remembered this incident.
It is indeed mature.
Ji Chuhe couldn't help but admire in his heart.
"Yes, but I have to take care of the outside world and the family. Aunt Lin's appetite has not been very good recently. I think pregnant women are more sensitive. She needs more company and care."
"Why doesn't Dong Ling need any love and care? She eats herself till she's fat and white."
Now, in Xiao Yanan's eyes, there is no difference between Lin Siyou and Dong Ling, they are both aunts.
"Everyone has a different personality, so we can't generalize. If Aunt Lin has no appetite and can't eat, and the child has a problem, it will be a loss. Think about it, my lord. What does Prime Minister Qin rely on to take root in the imperial capital? He relies on blood and his descendants. If he didn't give birth to these two grandsons, would he be able to realize his ambition?"
"That's why noble families attach so much importance to their offspring, and they also train their concubines' sons and daughters well."
"I understand what the lady said. I will pay more attention to it."
"There is one more thing I want to solemnly state. You must not tell Aunt Lin that I asked you to supervise her meals. You must let her feel that it is you who cares about her."
Xiao Yanan suddenly felt a little troubled.
It should be said that many women are troublesome.
Lin Siyou is a thoughtful person. He has feelings. Sometimes, it is a small matter or he just says it casually, but she thinks something is wrong with him and is very cautious.
When I asked her what she liked, it seemed like I couldn't get any real feedback from her.
He felt that her answer was intended to please him.
For example, he likes to listen to the sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves.
She said she liked it too.
However, when he asked her why she liked him, she hesitated and couldn't answer.
Xiao Yan'an felt that since Lin Siyou had been with him, she seemed to have lost more and more of her self.
Just like Xu Yan'er back then.
When he thought of Xu Yan'er, his heart ached again.
"Madam, I remember what you told me."
"Well, it's getting late, let's go back home."
"Madam, wait a minute, I have something else to say."
"Please speak, Prince." Ji Chuhe waited patiently.
"Today, the matter of the Third Prince touched me a little. When the Third Prince rushed towards Qin Yumo desperately, I seemed to see myself back then, just like when I insisted on marrying Xu Yan'er. What will happen after we are really together?" Xiao Yan'an smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Prince, don't think too much. We can't go back to the past, so we can only raise our heads and look forward." Ji Chuhe comforted softly.
"Madam, I feel that in this life, you are a gift from God to me and to our Huaiyang Palace. If you hadn't married me, I feel that what happened in the previous life would have to happen again."
This is what Xiao Yan'an really wanted to say.
"No, I only play a part. Whether we can turn the tide in the end depends on us."
"We can definitely turn the tide!" Xiao Yan'an responded affirmatively.
……
Xiao Yan'an just thought that the news had already reached the palace.
Unexpectedly, the emperor brought Chao Sihai with him and watched in the crowd.
Witnessed everything that happened tonight.
After returning to the palace, Chao Sihai knelt down and took off the emperor's shoes.
The emperor's face was terribly gloomy and he didn't dare to speak.
"Ji Chuhe always surprises me, which makes me more and more reluctant to touch her."
"Your Majesty, this method is indeed unexpected, but it may not be thought of by the Crown Prince's wife. Perhaps it was someone else who came up with it?"
"Are you questioning me?"
"I dare not!" Chao Sihai immediately lowered his head.
"It's good that the Third Prince married Qin Yumo. It just happened to let me see whether the power of the noble families is greater or the power of these poor children is greater."
"Your Majesty, no matter whether they are from a noble family or a humble family, aren't they all your subjects and have to listen to you?" He gave Chao Sihai a fawning smile.
"I have worked hard for so many years, and this court will soon become more and more pleasing to my eyes."
