Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 180 Situation

"Yes, it's because the Princess of Jiacheng has also taken a liking to Qi Heng that her family acted this way!"

Rong Feiyan's eyes were filled with hatred, and her face was filled with extreme anger!
In fact, it was precisely because the Princess of Jiacheng was not in front of her that Rong Feiyan felt she could have strangled that guy to death!
Strangle them alive!

"Princess Jiacheng? Prince Yong?"

A strong aura of malevolence began to emanate from Master Rong, and his old eyes flashed with a predatory light, sending chills down one's spine!

"How dare the Prince of Yong's mansion!"

"They haven't even ascended to the throne yet, and they're already starting to disregard the Rong family!"

Although he knew that many established families did not take his family, which had only prospered because of the imperial concubines, seriously, Master Rong really did not expect that they would dare to be so presumptuous!
They disregarded Consort Rong in the palace and directly targeted Rong Feiyan, Consort Rong's own sister!

"Dad~"

Hearing Master Rong mutter to himself like this, Rong Feiyan couldn't help but feel a little scared, especially when she heard the word "high position," her heart trembled a bit.

"Father, are you saying... that Prince Yong is going to be made crown prince?"

Although Rong Feiyan did not pay attention to important matters of the court, she was extremely concerned about the succession to the throne in the palace because of her sister Rong Zhixian.

After all, the Rong family's biggest backer is the one currently sitting on the dragon throne. If it were someone else, how could their family not be affected? They might even lose power and decline.

"Not bad!"

Looking at Rong Feiyan, who had clearly changed after experiencing this ordeal, Master Rong said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, someone from the Censorate tentatively submitted a memorial to His Majesty, requesting the establishment of an Eastern Palace!"

"Although no one dared to name a prince at the time, everyone's opinion was none other than those two in the capital!"

Lord Rong refers to the Prince of Yong and the Prince of Yan.

The current emperor has five sons who are still alive. Of these, only four are adults: the eldest prince, Prince Zhao; the second prince, Prince Yong; the third prince, Prince Yan; and the fourth prince, Prince Chu, who has just established his own residence and military command. The last prince is only five years old and can be disregarded.

Among them, King Zhao had developed a chronic illness from riding and hunting in his early years, which resulted in the loss of a leg. Therefore, he had basically given up on the idea. As for King Chu, he was not old enough to be considered an adult.

The most popular princes were Prince Yong and Prince Yan, who were both young and vigorous and whose birth dates were close to each other.

Prince Yong was half a month older than Prince Yan, which gave him an advantage due to his age. However, Prince Yong had a terrible temper, was violent by nature, and was not well-liked. Prince Yan, on the other hand, was gentle and refined, skilled in social interaction, and, more importantly, his mother, Consort De, was still in the palace and favored by the emperor, unlike Prince Yong's mother, who had long since passed away and could not help him.

In His Majesty's eyes, he probably favors the Prince of Yan more.

However, while the two had their own merits, there was one crucial point: the Prince of Yong had many children and grandchildren, while the Prince of Yan only had one son and one daughter, and both of them were chronically ill and seemed to be in danger of dying young.

Therefore, although the King of Yan was known for his respect for scholars, many people still felt that the King of Yong was more likely to win in the end.

After all, for the foundation of a nation, the abundance of offspring is also the most crucial factor.

"That……"

Upon hearing this, Rong Feiyan was somewhat at a loss: "Father, what did the Emperor say?"

In any case, the most crucial factor in establishing the Crown Prince is the current Emperor's will.

"hehe!"

Master Rong smiled and said, "The Emperor naturally didn't agree; he probably found it difficult to choose."

In fact, Master Rong was also a little puzzled. After all, the current emperor was already an elderly person who was practically on his deathbed, but for some reason, the emperor had always refused to establish a crown prince. He wondered if there was some secret behind it.

"Dad, what should we do about our family?"

Rong Feiyan was unaware of her father's thoughts, but with a worried expression, she asked, "Otherwise, let's just let this matter go, I..." Rong Feiyan was about to admit defeat and beg for mercy.

"Not urgent!"

Master Rong interrupted his daughter, but in his heart he rejected Rong Feiyan's plan.

After all, in Master Rong's eyes, there were only three core members of the Rong family. Consort Rong had entered the palace, so he could not interfere. He was also an old man with one foot in the grave. The only one left was Rong Feiyan.

To touch her is tantamount to eradicating the Rong family's roots!
This hatred is irreconcilable!

Moreover, even if the Rong family yielded to the people from the Prince of Yong's mansion, they would probably not let them go.

After all, given Prince Yong's vengeful nature, how could he possibly let the Rong family off the hook?

Judging from the attitude of the other party, it is clear how the Prince Yong's Mansion views the Rong family - they can kill or arrest at will, they are even more capricious than the emperor!
Master Rong had made up his mind and was determined to take the plunge!

"Hmph, no matter what, the Prince of Yong has not yet been made crown prince!"

Master Rong reached out to comfort his daughter, then gritted his teeth and said, "Until the very last moment, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious!"

"I'd like to see if the Prince of Yong can still sit on that throne after all this, using the reputation of my Rong family!"

Master Rong has made his decision. Tomorrow he will go to the palace to discuss with Consort Rong how to form an alliance with Prince Yan and ruin Prince Yong's grand plan.

"No matter what, Prince Yong cannot win!"

Master Rong set a goal in his heart and said this.

……

Yu Mansion.

The once peaceful and tranquil courtyard suddenly became lively.

Teams and rows of porters, all carrying loads, filed in.

"Hey! Be careful!"

"Slow down, you mustn't break it!" "..."

A matchmaker dressed in bright red directed everyone to bring in all the things they had brought.

"What's that? What a huge pearl! It's as big as a child's fist!"

"Yes, they're pink, and they come in a pair!"

"That's not all! Look at that little red flowering tree; it looks like it's carved from thousand-year-old red coral from the South China Sea! It's a treasure worth a fortune!"

"..."

Countless luxurious and exquisite items were carried into Grand Secretary Yu's mansion like a flowing river, filling the spacious storerooms, all under the wide-eyed gaze of the servants.

Some items were even placed directly into the lobby.

The main hall of the Yu family residence.

"what?"

"Are you here to propose marriage?"

Madam Yu stared at the person in front of her, dumbfounded!
