Chapter 1099 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and twenty-one)
Are you kidding me? This is royal blood!
Whether it is a princess or a prince, the midwife will confirm the baby as soon as it comes out of the mother's body. During this period, there are countless pairs of eyes watching. But in this situation, mistakes can still be made!
Huanpin had not been promoted at that time and was just a minor noble lady. She could not do these things, so it could only be done by the emperor.
The emperor must be mentally ill!
The empress had truly learned a lot. She had only known that some concubines, for the sake of family honor and their future prospects, would adopt their own nephews from their natal families and pass them off as their own sons, swapping the baby girls they gave birth to. The more compassionate ones would raise their daughters with their natal families, while the more ruthless ones would simply dispose of the baby girls to prevent future trouble. Before the unification of the Great Zhao Kingdom, it was still divided into three parts. One of these kingdoms fell into civil strife because it was discovered that the crown prince was not the emperor's biological son.
But at that time the emperor had only three sons. The second son was ten years old, the youngest son was seven years old, and the fake prince was in his thirties and had been the prince for more than twenty years. The emperor wanted to depose the prince, but the prince directly summoned forces to revolt. The emperor and the prince engaged in a game of chess, and eventually the country fell into civil strife and was divided up by the other two countries.
The queen thought it was ridiculous. How could the fifteenth princess become a prince?
What if the royal family didn't have so many turmoil, and her son ascended the throne smoothly, and one day she wanted to arrange a marriage for the "little imperial sister", wouldn't that be a waste of the young master's time?
Can a man pretend to be a girl for his entire life? If he has been pretending to be a girl for more than ten years, he would probably have gradually become feminine, right?
Furthermore, the upbringing of princesses and princes was completely different within the Zhao Kingdom. Prime Minister Song could raise his children together, allowing his daughter to read policy essays and historical records, and also to learn horse riding and archery. His instructors were carefully selected for both civil and military matters. This was not the case with the royal family, who were wary of aiding the tyrants' ambitions and imposed many restrictions.
Otherwise, unless he ascends the throne, no emperor can tolerate the possibility that his younger brother may have shameful thoughts.
But Concubine Ye is a dying person, there is no need to lie to her, and as long as she investigates such matters, she will definitely find out the truth.
The Queen recalled that she had always looked down on Concubine Jia, the weak and scheming woman. Only the Emperor felt that Concubine Jia had nothing and could only rely on him.
As for Zhao Jing, she only saw him from afar at every palace banquet and really didn't know him well.
When Zhao Jing was born, her son Zhao Duan was still the crown prince.
The princes hadn't attempted to kill each other; it was the emperor, fearing his throne would be seized by the adult princes, who sowed discord among them. The emperor, on the surface, had to pretend to be a good father who was reluctant to punish his sons for their misdeeds, thus emboldening the princes' arrogance!
What does the emperor want to do?
Did he think that the baby would not threaten his throne and he could dote on him without any worries, and that other princes with some ability would have no value in existence?
Now he has set his sights on Zhao Yu because he realized that he has messed up everything, has no good successor, and may die early, so he has no choice but to train Zhao Yu and increase Zhao Yu's power?
"Yepin, do you know what you are saying? You will be punished by heaven if you tell lies."
Looking at the Queen's serious and disbelieving expression, Concubine Ye suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Queen dodged in time and asked in surprise, "I didn't scold you, why did you do this?"
Concubine Ye couldn't maintain her composure, her eyes rolled back, she wiped the blood with her handkerchief, and said speechlessly:
"I'm angry at the Emperor and Concubine Jia. If I don't tell you, when you kill Zhao Yu and defeat Concubine Shu, and the enraged Emperor awards you a foot of white silk and orders you to die, only to discover that the Emperor hasn't lost his only remaining son who could ascend the throne like you, but that he has a backup candidate. You'll absolutely vomit blood, and go to the underworld to meet your son with resentment and unwillingness."
The queen bit her lip, her eyes dark and deep. If she didn't win against Concubine Shu in the end, it would mean that she had lost by one move.
But if she and Concubine Shu fought each other to death, and Concubine Jia came out with her child in her arms to laugh at them, and accused them of being vicious and cruel with a look of pity on her face, and then sat on the throne with a smile on her face holding her child in her arms, and the days of the Empress Dowager ruling the country from behind the curtain began, the Queen thought, even if she died, she would crawl out of the coffin and would not dare to see her dead son.
"Even if the Fifteenth Princess becomes a prince, so what? Don't you think Zhao Jing deserves death more than Zhao Yu? If Zhao Jing dies, if the Emperor finds out it was me who did it and orders me to be executed, that would pave the way for Concubine Shu. She'd be laughing all night long."
