Chapter 501 Plan
Chapter 501 Plan
Lin Lanzhen was overjoyed at the arrival of the King of Chu.
Having never tasted the sweetness of love, she took the little kindness the King of Chu showed her as everything. The girl poured her entire heart into the King of Chu and looked forward to his coming every day.
After saying a few tender words, Lin Lanzhen took the King of Chu's hand and stroked her belly, which had grown much bigger, "Your Highness, I asked the imperial physician to check my pulse, and he said it's a boy."
The King of Chu stroked him a few times and nodded, "A son is good. If you have a son, you will have someone to rely on in the palace."
The King of Chu was amorous, but he was also happy to make a promise to the woman who gave birth to his child.
Moreover, he had heard from the imperial physician that the baby in Aunt Lin's belly was undoubtedly a boy, so he had some ideas.
But this idea... I looked at Lin Lanzhen and wondered whether I should tell her now?
After considering for a moment, he said, "Your family has some connection with the Prince of Yue's Palace. The nephew of the Princess of Yue..." Thinking of the prince's behavior of mistaking the child for the seventh son's and preferring to kill the wrong one rather than let the wrong one go, the corners of the King of Chu's mouth twitched.
He knew the efficacy of the poison he had administered.
"The nephew of the Princess of Yue treats your Lin family as his own, and the Princess of Yue also values your family. Now the King of Yue is also close to us. My third brother and I have many children. Seeing that he has no child to take care of him, I am naturally sad."
"Can't the King of Yue adopt Changzhi?"
Lin Lanzhen once treated Changzhi as her own brother. She thought that if the King of Yue adopted Changzhi and Changzhi inherited the King of Yue's Palace in the future, then her Lin family would have a legitimate and noble relative.
It will also be of great benefit to them and their son in the future.
"After all, the child is from another family. The emperor and the royal family will not agree."
Lin Lanzhen sighed and felt a little regretful.
"Then the prince..." After being in the palace for so long, Lin Lanzhen has lost her former innocence and learned to read people's expressions. The prince hasn't come for a long time, so he must have something to tell her today.
Upon hearing this, the King of Chu looked at her belly again, "Now that the King of Yue and our brothers have come together for common interests, I think we can get closer."
"How can we get closer? If your Majesty needs anything from me, just tell me."
Lin Lanzhen felt that the King of Chu would not mention the relationship between the Prince of Yue's Palace and her family for no reason.
Did he want to improve her status, support her family, and make her family get in touch with the Yuewang Mansion? After all, the Lin family's kindness in adopting her and raising her son could not be erased.
"You are so sensible, I am very pleased." The King of Chu touched her face, "I fell in love with you at first sight, so I wanted to bring you into the palace the first time I saw you."
"Your Majesty." Lin Lanzhen felt sweet. Who wouldn't like to hear these sweet words? "I am the same. I will marry you at first sight. I decided on you at first sight."
"I know everything. Two sets of headdresses were delivered today. I left one for the princess, and one set will be delivered to you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Two sets of headdresses, the prince gave one to the princess and one to her! The prince really values her! At this moment, Lin Lanzhen wanted to go through fire and water for the King of Chu.
The King of Chu praised her a few more times, which made Lin Lanzhen even more dizzy. Seeing this, the King of Chu said, "I plan to give the baby in your belly to the King of Yue as his adopted son."
"Ah, this? Prince!" Lin Lanzhen was a little surprised. The King of Chu wanted to take away the son in her belly!
"Didn't the prince just say that when I give birth to a son, this child will become my support?"
In the palace, she couldn't see the King of Chu for ten days or half a month. After finally having this baby, the prince gave him away. Wouldn't she be alone and helpless in the palace in the future?
She doesn't agree!
The King of Chu was a man with little patience. In the past, he was the only one who gave orders to others, and they could only obey obediently. No one dared to question him. He frowned.
But he thought that he had his own plans and didn't want Lin Lanzhen to ruin his plans.
So he patiently explained, "He is not an ordinary prince, he is the Prince of Yue, and he has the title of prince. Even if you can give birth to a son, can your son inherit the title of prince?"
Don't mention his title of King of Chu, that was his legitimate son. He didn't have just one legitimate son. Even if his third brother ascended the throne in the future, he could give more titles to his sons, but he had so many sons that it was not certain that the one in Lin Lanzhen's belly would be given the title of a duke, a prince, a marquis, or an earl.
"If you can't get a title, you can only get more property. Although I like you and the child in your belly, how much can he, a bastard, get?"
The King of Chu tried to persuade him slowly and skillfully.
Lin Lanzhen gradually calmed down.
"Then if he is adopted out, he will no longer be my son." He still felt a little aggrieved.
"You gave birth to him. No matter who he is adopted by, you are his biological mother and I am his biological father. This is recorded in the royal family's jade book and no one can erase it. When he inherits the Prince of Yue's Palace in the future, all the children you give birth to will benefit from it."
Lin Lanzhen's eyes lit up. Yes, she is still young, she can still give birth! If she can conceive this boy, why can't she conceive a second or third baby?
In the future, when the eldest son inherits the Prince's Mansion, even if her other children, as concubines, don't get much property, they can still live a good life by their eldest brother's side? After all, blood is thicker than water.
And she is not worried at all that her son will disown her in the future.
My son can support himself in the Prince of Yue’s Palace, but he still needs the help of his brothers and sisters in the Prince of Chu’s Palace!
"My Lord, I agree!"
"That's right. Good boy." The King of Chu was very pleased. It didn't take much time to convince Aunt Lin. It's true that talking to a smart person can save a lot of effort.
"You are in a bad condition now, so you don't need to come to visit me every morning and evening. I will tell the princess. Just take good care of the baby in your belly. If you need anything, just send someone to find the princess."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Yes. Don't make a big fuss about this matter, but you can interact more with the Prince of Yue's Palace in private, so that you can get closer to them."
"Yes. I will obey you, my Lord!"
The King of Chu only discussed this idea with his trusted staff and did not inform the King of Qin. After he had agreed with Lin Lanzhen, the next day, the King of Chu went to the King of Qin to tell him about it.
The King of Qin was a little surprised when he heard this. "Why do you have such an idea?"
The Seventh Brother was not on the same page as their brothers, so he would probably not agree. Although the two sides were now tied together to deal with the Crown Prince, based on his understanding of the Seventh Brother, he was afraid that he would not think of adopting their children.
"The seventh son has never expressed any intention of being adopted in front of our father," said the King of Qin.
"If he didn't want the title of King of Yue to fall into the hands of others, he would agree to adopt him. But now he is of the right age and hasn't thought deeply about his future. And he hasn't found a suitable candidate yet." As long as the seventh brother wants to be adopted, according to my father's idea, he will not let him adopt a branch of the family. He will only adopt one from among them brothers.
"He is close to Prince Lu, but Prince Lu only has two sons, and Prince Lu's backyard is quiet and controlled by Princess Lu. There is no one else who can bear children for him. I'm afraid Princess Lu won't be willing to let him adopt a child."
As for the other brothers, the King of Chu had also analyzed them and was afraid that none of them were suitable.
"He is now eager to get rid of the crown prince in order to vindicate his royal brother, but I'm afraid he can't do it alone." He needs external help.
He and the King of Qin had been operating in the capital for so many years, but they still couldn't defeat the Crown Prince, let alone the Seventh Brother who had only been back in the capital for more than a year. Even if he had a backup plan, he was no match for the Crown Prince.
"Now we need him, and he needs us too. I will give him a child, not saying that he will inherit his title. I will just give him to raise after he is born. If he raises him from childhood, he will have some affection for us. If he wants to establish a crown prince in the future, it will be up to him to evaluate."
Even if his son is not enthroned, that will be a matter of more than ten years later. Now let's just talk about the present.
The King of Qin was slightly moved by what he said.
The fourth brother's son not only has his blood, but also the blood of the Lin family. The Royal Mausoleum Lin family has done a favor to the Yue Palace. If this is taken into account, I'm afraid the Yue Princess will not refuse.
The image of the princess from the Seventh Family flashed through the mind of the King of Qin... Her behavior was different from that of women nowadays. She was more relaxed and generous, and she was grateful.
Maybe he will agree.
After discussing it with his staff, everyone's eyes lit up. They all sighed that it was a good idea to get close to the King of Yue.
Yue Wangfu.
Lin Zhaoxia met her second sister-in-law again.
This time she came with her mother and her second brother Lin Jingan.
Lin Zhaoxia almost didn't recognize the mother and daughter, who had changed their appearance, dressed in new clothes, and looked so rich. Then she looked at her second brother, Lin Jing'an, who was also dressed in silk, like a lord of a wealthy landlord family.
Unlike the servile manner they had seen her in the past, the Li mother and daughter now looked satisfied and contented. They seemed to feel that they were on an equal footing with Lin Zhaoxia, a commoner princess, and their words and actions became more natural.
Lin Zhaoxia didn't care about their changes in behavior, nor did she mind their disrespectful words.
Maybe it's because they are all family, or maybe they don't take these rules and etiquette to heart.
However, when she heard their purpose, she was still shocked.
"Is this what the King of Chu meant?"
Li smiled and nodded, "If it wasn't for the King of Chu's intention, we wouldn't dare to joke about the heirs of the palace."
Old Mrs. Li also agreed, "That's right. The prince is reluctant to give his own son to another family, but thinking of his brothers and sisters, the Chu Palace has many descendants, and he doesn't want you and the King of Yue to be without children in the future."
Lin Zhaoxia frowned.
The King of Yue has no children, why are so many people worried about him?
Looking at Lin Jingan, "What does Lan Zhen mean? Is she willing to give it up?"
Lin Jing'an was still a little uneasy in front of Lin Zhaoxia. He didn't even dare to touch the chair and kept his head down. When he heard Lin Zhaoxia's question, he didn't dare to look at her. He just nodded and said, "The prince has discussed this with Lan Zhen, and Lan Zhen agrees."
Old Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Lan Zhen is still young. If she can have one baby, she can have a second and third baby, and she will not lack sons in the future. But you, Princess, although you have raised your nephew by your side, he is a man from another family and cannot inherit the palace. He cannot be the son of you and the King of Yue. In the future, you will have no one to take care of you in your old age, and you will feel bad when you see this huge palace handed over to others."
Mrs. Li nodded in agreement with her mother.
"That's not what I meant. As women, we give birth to children just to have someone to rely on when we are old, and to preserve the property we have earned. It doesn't matter who you adopt. Instead of letting the emperor designate one, you might as well choose one yourself."
"That's right. Princess, what is your relationship with the Lin family and Lan Zhen? If you adopt Lan Zhen's son, you will have the support of the brothers and sisters in the Chu Palace. This child will definitely be able to support the palace in the future, and he will have someone to rely on when he grows up."
Li's mother and daughter were still chattering away to persuade her. After being stunned for a moment, Lin Zhaoxia just listened quietly without interrupting.
The two men acted as if they were planning for her, analyzing for her the various advantages of adopting Lan Zhen's son. If there were outsiders present, then everything would make perfect sense and the arrangement would be appropriate in every way.
Lin Zhaoxia almost believed it.
"It's not easy for Lan Zhen to stay in the palace. The King of Chu has many things to do, and it's not easy for her to see him. She hopes that we relatives can help her. Now you are alone in the Yue Palace. I heard that the Queen has summoned you to the palace several times. I'm afraid you are not having a good time with the Queen. It's just right for Lan Zhen to help each other. It's good for both of us."
"Yes, without an heir, even if you are a princess, you are still a sinner in the royal family. In the future, no one will come to pay respects to you. Do you have the heart to let no one pay respects to the late queen?"
Lin Zhaoxia looked at them blankly. She even knew that the Queen had summoned her many times?
Even the former queen was moved out. Was it because they were afraid that Zhao Guangyuan would not agree? Was it because they were so thoughtful for them?
Seeing her surprise, Li thought she was just hearing this for the first time and hadn't reacted yet. She said sympathetically, "There's no rush. Think about it slowly. Lan Zhen's baby is still a few months away."
"Yes, we thought that we would let you prepare first. As soon as Lan Zhen's baby is born, we will bring him to the palace. You will raise him by your side since he is young, so your relationship will be deep, right?"
After a long while, Lin Zhaoxia finally spoke up, "This is a big matter. I have to discuss it with the prince."
Li's mother and daughter felt that since the King of Yue was willing to disobey the order for her and reject so many famous ladies in the capital, he must love her terribly. How could her words be of no use?
He wanted to say something more persuasive, but was stopped by Lin Jingan. "Yes, this is a big deal, you have to discuss it with the prince. We are just making a suggestion, it doesn't matter whether it works or not..."
How come it doesn't matter! Li glared at her husband who couldn't speak and gave him a look of disdain.
If you can't speak, don't speak.
"The prince has to adopt anyone. We know each other well, and you also know Lan Zhen's character. Isn't it better than adopting someone else?"
If she adopts someone else, can her grandson inherit the Prince's Palace? Even if Lan Zhen marries into the Prince of Chu's Palace, the Prince of Chu has so many sons and so many women, who knows what the future will be like.
Of course it would be more cost-effective to adopt this child into the Prince of Yue's Palace.
Even if I don't raise my child by my side, so what? Can I still deny my biological parents in the future?
Li had a very clear plan, and she was determined to make it happen. If necessary, she would ask the King of Chu to intercede and bring the parents-in-law from the imperial mausoleum to Beijing to help persuade them.
After all, the only child of the princess's family was raised by their Lin family.
If it weren't for the Lin family raising Changzhi, their Lin family would have been wiped out by the clan long ago.
