Inheritance policy

Chapter 44 Full Moon
He Yan stood up and didn't answer, the sixth prince followed behind, and pulled the second prince's sleeve invisibly, the second prince frowned, a little impatiently: "What are you doing!"

The sixth prince frowned, turned around and bowed to He Yan: "Second brother didn't have any other intentions. He just wanted to pay a visit to Mrs. Tai, so he came to the main courtyard and wanted to talk to you. Who would have thought that someone was talking in the main hall?" , we won’t be able to go in.”

He Yan's complexion turned pale, and he turned sideways to avoid the ceremony, and waved his hands with a smile: "Mrs. Tai is not feeling well recently, and she is recuperating behind closed doors. It is rare for the emperor to let the two out of the palace. Today is the Lantern Festival again. Are the two princes Do you want to drink apricot and plum wine or peach blossom wine? The apricot and plum wine of our He family is quite famous in Ding capital."

The old Hou Ye is good at drinking, and the He family has a lot of fine wines and good wines. What He Yan mentioned is either fruit wine or peach blossom wine that is sweet and not easy to get drunk, in order to prevent the two princes from getting drunk and hurting their health.

Xing Zhao drooped his eyes, shrank back and listened quietly. The emperor only had three sons, and he was assured that two of them would come to the He residence. took two.

Wait, two?
Could it be that the emperor is considering establishing a crown prince, so the important ministers need to put forward appropriate opinions after getting to know the two princes?

"Xingli wine!" Xing Zhao was startled by the second prince's high-pitched voice, and looked up to see him eager to try.

The sixth prince lowered his head slightly, with the attitude of the second prince looking forward.

He Yan took a closer look at the two young men with very different personalities in front of him, one was extroverted and the other introverted.It's a pity that the second prince has the highest voice to reserve the position. Firstly, he is the eldest, and secondly, his biological mother, Wang concubine, has been with the emperor for twenty years. From the Qianlong period to the present, he has a deep relationship with the emperor. Three royal descendants were born.

He Yan's eyes shifted to the sixth prince indistinctly. The sixth son, Zhou Shen, the son of Concubine Lu Shu, is equivalent to Queen Fang's son, and the chance of winning the heir apparent is almost zero.Of the two daughters of the Fang family, one is married to the emperor and the other is married to the marquis of Lin'an. The family has been entrenched in the northwest for a long time and has a heavy army in its hands. The emperor will not be happy to see the next emperor, and they are still close to the Fang family.If the Fang family climbed further, they would be able to climb up to the dragon chair in the Tai Chi Hall.

But today the second prince said that he wanted to go out of the palace to have a look, the emperor immediately agreed, and called the sixth prince, and then made himself responsible for the living and transportation of the two princes.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has always been a practice that the important officials of the former dynasty assist the new king, and the assistant is not only the confidant of the previous dynasty, but also the pillar of the new dynasty. This is a position under one person and above ten thousand people.
Thinking of this, He Yan smiled more sincerely, stepped forward and patted the second prince on the back, his voice was very resembling a loving father, with indulgence and irony: "Okay! Let us men drink apricots and plums tonight." Alcohol, if you don’t get drunk, you won’t return!”

The second prince turned his head happily, but he caught sight of Mrs. Bao who was stunned on the ground. He pointed and said, "This little lady is such a rascal. Marquis of Lin'an must interrogate her carefully. Where does a commoner have the guts to dare?" This is how you challenge the aristocratic family." Looking away again, he saw Xing Zhao who was hanging his head in the corner, and asked with a smile: "Is this the Lord of Wenyang County?" Before Xing Zhao could reply, he raised his voice and ordered: "This You can ask He Xingjing to come out now! I heard from others that He Jia Dalang is a good drinker, so let's compare with him today!"

Miss Bo trembled even more, almost wanting to hide under the table.

"He Xian will also come later! Brother Yun from the third room is not bad at drinking, and some people drink with the second prince." He Yan replied with a smile, while looking in, when his eyes fell on Mrs. Bo, his eyes became pale. It was unusually cold, the second prince knew about it and asked about it, I'm afraid it would not end so well.

Turning his head again, he explained to the eldest lady in a gentle voice: "Brother Jing will come back later, tell him to change clothes and come here."

The eldest lady repeatedly said yes.

He Yan walked quickly to the door and asked the second and sixth princes to go first.Standing behind the eldest lady, Xing Zhao straightened her spine, but lowered her head. She could clearly feel that a bunch of focused and questioning eyes were looking at her.

When he looked up, he only saw the slightly thin but upright back of the Sixth Prince.

Xing Zhao frowned, she instinctively didn't like the sixth prince, probably because she had seen too many white-faced scholars with a honeyed belly and sword, and another person who was so thoughtful and knew how to judge the situation, she would vent her anger for no reason!

"Drag this Mrs. Bo down!" The lady spoke in a rare and tough tone. When she thought of such a disgusting person and thing getting entangled with Jing Ge'er, it seemed like a fire was burning in her heart.

Xingzhao approached Mrs. Bo, and said in a soft voice: "What kind of person is the second prince? He is a real relative of the emperor. He has already asked about this matter. Mrs. Bo will explain it honestly later. It's over, as long as it's not your first crooked idea, maybe it can give you a way to survive. I, He Siniang, always keep my word."

Mrs. Bo's hands and feet were cold, and when she heard these words, she suddenly felt as if she had warmed up from the inside out.As long as you are willing to finish talking, can you live!As long as you are not the mastermind, can you live!She was stupid and fell for the trick of the He family!She was unlucky and met the second prince!But she has always been the one who knows best about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!
"I said it, I said it all! It was a woman who came to Zheng's family." Mrs. Bo was dragged out of the main hall by two women, but she still spoke loudly in the veranda.

"Save it tonight and explain to Lord Hou!"

Xing Zhao is not in the mood to listen, what she wants is to let He Yan know the truth, and not ignore the truth.

Not long after, the third room came. The third wife always liked to tie her son to her trouser belt, but now when she heard that the two princes were at the mansion, she hurriedly drove Brother Yun to the front hall, and softly ordered: "Don't drink water." For the prince's wine, talk to the prince more, and talk more to poetry and economics."

Brother Yun was impatient, and waved his hands as he walked out to show that he knew.

When the third lady saw her son acting like this, she sat on the lower right and the eldest lady sighed and complained: "I don't know who this child is following. His father is a very learned person, and I teach him all the time." He has to study hard." Then he asked Mrs. Tai if she was better, and when she nodded, she brought the conversation back to the son-daughter lawsuit at the Shao family in the west of the city.

Without the men by their side, a few wives and wives gossip about each other, laughing while hearing the three girls walking together.

The meal was used up very quickly, and the third lady said goodbye, saying that she was going to say hello to Mrs. Tai.Only the first lady and the second lady were left in the main hall, sitting and chattering. One was worried that her son would be drugged, and the other hated that she had no son who was drugged. Mingzhi yawned.

After a while, my mother came to report: "The two princes have gone out and returned to the palace." After a while, someone came to report again, this time whispering in Xing Zhao's ear: "Master Hou is examining the Bo family and the Zheng family. Yes, after the interrogation, I went to Beichaifang to interrogate Linzhu's family."

Xing Zhao nodded. Seeing some movement, the eldest lady came to inquire in a blink of an eye. Xing Zhao smiled and said, "It's nothing, just telling me that the parrot in my room will say that the Chinese New Year is auspicious."

The eldest lady smiled and said, "How can a young lady like to mess with these things." Then she turned to talk to the second lady.

Xing Zhao leaned on Xing Ming, thinking carefully. In the previous life, her mother went there on the 22nd of the first lunar month, and there were still seven days left. She did not believe that her mother would not be able to pass these seven days safely.Turning his head inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a full moon in the dark blue sky outside the window lattice.

The fifteenth moon is really round, so round that it makes people feel sweet.
