Chapter 186 Adoption
The process of Emperor Ruikang ascending to the throne was not peaceful, because his father would sit on the throne at the beginning, it was entirely because his grandfather was unwilling to hand over the throne to his father.

It wasn't that Emperor Ruikang's father conspired against him, nor was he bad, but because Emperor Ruikang's grandfather's favorite son was only a few years older than Emperor Ruikang, so he would not be able to lose the throne to a young child, so he could only Reluctantly, the throne was passed on to Emperor Ruikang and his father.

But at the end, he made all kinds of explicit hints that he wanted Emperor Ruikang's father not to pass on the throne to his son in the future, but to his younger brother, the youngest son of Emperor Ruikang's grandfather.

It's just that Emperor Ruikang's father did not refuse his father's words at the beginning, but the throne was in his hands, how could he be willing to give the throne to his son, of course.

That's why when Emperor Ruikang first came to the throne, there was turmoil in the court. Many clans died that time, and it happened to coincide with the attack of foreign enemies, so a general like Xu Zhenbei came to the fore.

This matter has passed for many years, and it stands to reason that no one would take the initiative to bring it up now, but this time, Emperor Ruikang himself took the initiative to mention it.

At the beginning, the youngest son of Emperor Ruikang's grandfather was named the Spirit King when he was born. No one knew where the Spirit King went. Most people thought that the Spirit King had been secretly executed, but it was not until Emperor Ruikang issued an order. Changing the third prince, Ye Jingche, to the sect butterfly, and adopting him at the knee of King Ling to become the grandson of King Ling, everyone realized belatedly, the King Ling is not dead?
The Ling King is indeed not dead, although there are not many clans that can prove the identity of the Ling King, but a few people can still prove that the Master Xuanling of Linggu Temple is the original Ling King.

"Master Xuanling is the Lingwang?" Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu in surprise. She really didn't expect that the old monk who would smile and ask her if she still had vegetarian cakes was actually the Lingwang.

Seeing the surprised look on the little lady's face, Xu Shiqiu could only nod helplessly.

He is also a person who does not want to believe this matter, but this morning, the clan came out with several senior royal relatives, which not only proved the identity of Master Xuanling, but also gave a good day suitable for adoption.

It seemed that they were in favor of Emperor Ruikang's adoption of Ye Jingche.

In this way, Ye Jingche completely lost the chance to compete for the throne, but since he inherited Ruo Da's property from King Ling, he will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Emperor Ruikang had worked so hard for this son.

The most important thing is that Master Xuanling would agree, which is really surprising.

After all, he has already become a monk, and logically speaking, he has no relationship with the royal family, but now, he also agreed.

Xu Shiqiu has been dizzy since he heard the news this morning, because he didn't know what to do next.

Their Xu family had a grudge against Ye Jingche, but Master Xuanling helped him. Even now, his little lady often sends vegetarian cakes to Master Xuanling, but now...

Dong Shu could also feel her husband's entanglement at the moment, but she didn't know what to say.

When both of them were silent, Ling Xiang's voice came from outside the house, "Master, madam, the old lady calls you two to the main courtyard."

As soon as Ling Xiang finished speaking, Yuan Xi's voice of 'babbling' came from outside the door.

Hearing Yuan Xi's voice, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu looked at each other, got up at the same time, and walked out of the house.

After walking outside the house, Xu Shiqiu directly reached out and hugged Yuan Xi in his arms, ignoring her struggle towards Dong Shu, lightly patted her buttocks, and said with a smile: "Daddy holds you, You're getting bigger and bigger now, but your mother won't be able to hug you anymore."

In fact, Yuan Xi still couldn't understand these words, but seeing that her mother didn't intend to hug her, she finally lay down obediently in Xu Shiqiu's arms, but a pair of eyes similar to Dong Shu kept staring at Dong Shu.

Dong Shu can still hug Yuan Xi, but Yuan Xi is getting bigger and heavier, holding her from Shihuan Courtyard to the main courtyard, her arms will be tired and sore.

Now that the husband is at home and feels sorry for her, she will naturally not speak out to expose this matter.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu smiled reassuringly at Yuan Xi, then turned her head and did not continue to look at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi, who is nearly ten months old, doesn't know why her mother doesn't look at her anymore. She is a little unhappy, but she can't express it. She can only "babble" and say things that adults still don't understand.

When Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Xu was sitting in the main seat in the hall drinking ginseng tea. When she saw them coming, she just nodded. It was Yuan Xi who used to hug for a while. I don't have the energy to hug her to play.

"I also know about your morning affairs."

The old lady Xu looked directly at Xu Shiqiu and spoke, without any intention of hiding that she had other channels to get the news.

Hearing what his mother said, Xu Shiqiu just nodded, and didn't ask how his mother knew.

The old lady Xu has experienced many things, and looking at Xu Shiqiu's expression now, she knew that he was caught in a dilemma.

He wanted to take revenge, but Ye Jingche was about to become the heir of the Ling King. Master Xuan Ling took good care of the Xu family, and he helped suppress his bad luck.

Although thinking about it now, Emperor Ruikang should have meant it, but Master Xuanling had spent a lot of thought for him in the beginning.

He, Xu Shiqiu, was not a person who didn't know how to be grateful.

But Ye Jingche was really the chief culprit who ruined the Xu family's happy life, and he had to avenge this revenge.

"Shiqiu, there are still nearly two months before Ye Jingche's adoptive day."

The old lady Xu suddenly said such a sentence, not only Dong Shu, but also Xu Shiqiu was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu was not Dong Shu, and he realized what his mother meant in just a moment.

"Mother, what do you mean, there will still be variables during this period?"

Normally, Xu Shiqiu might be able to figure it out, but today his mind is already in turmoil, and he can't calm down at all, so how can he understand the meaning of it.

The old lady Xu knew very well about her son's reaction. After she nodded, she didn't mean to hide it, and said directly: "We all know that the Holy Majesty did this to protect him, but he himself is really willing to just do it like this." Missed the throne? Maybe, he has been thinking that he still has the ability to fight for the throne. "

But now, Emperor Ruikang adopted him directly, or adopted him to the Lingwang who had already become a monk. After two generations, there was no chance to compete for the throne.

But Ye Jingche, is he willing?
"I'm not reconciled! Why, why should the father want me to adopt me? I'm not that kind of prince who doesn't show his family background. My mother's family is noble, and there is a son-in-law in the family. Why should the father adopt me?"

Ye Jingche lost his temper in the third prince's mansion, wishing he could smash everything he could.

Outside the door, the third imperial concubine led the two side concubines to stand outside the door, listening to the movement inside the door, her brows became more determined.

When the family got online with the third prince and chose her to marry the third prince, they wanted to do their best, and maybe they could earn a descendant for the Zheng family to come back.

But now, if the third prince is really adopted, then she will at most be a concubine Ling in the future, so there is no chance for her to take the position of queen.

Thinking of how she had endured for many years, but in the end she had no chance to sit in that position, Mrs. Zheng cast her eyes at the two side concubines behind her, and said, "You guys go back first."

Yu Shi and Liu Shi didn't say much when they got Zheng Shi's words, and they bowed and retreated at the same time.

Although the two of them were more favored by Ye Jingche, but when something really happened, Ye Jingche could only listen to Zheng's words.

It was precisely because of this that although the Zheng family was not favored by Ye Jingche, in the Third Prince's residence, no one dared to really show her face.

Seeing that Yu Shi and Liu Shi had retreated, Mrs. Zheng said to Ye Jingche who was inside the door, "I'm coming in."

Zheng Shi spoke directly, and the moment her words fell, Ye Jingche also stopped being angry, and then sat there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Mrs. Zheng came in, she ignored the porcelain shards on the ground and seemed to be walking casually step by step, but she completely avoided the shards on the ground.

When she walked in front of Ye Jingche, she said directly: "The Zheng family still has soldiers in their hands."

As soon as Zheng Shi opened her mouth, Ye Jingche understood what she meant. He stared at Zheng Shi in front of him with wide eyes in surprise, as if he knew her for the first time.

Seeing Ye Jingche's surprised expression, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but sneered and said, "Why? Are you unwilling to take this step?" After saying this, Mrs. Zheng continued without waiting for Ye Jingche to speak, "This is your last chance , is also the last chance for the Third Prince's Mansion."

After saying this, Mrs. Zheng saw that Ye Jingche's brows were moved, and continued: "Think about it, if you are really adopted out, you will be a Spirit King at most in the future, but if you fight once, as long as you succeed It's..."

Zheng Shi didn't finish her sentence, but she knew that Ye Jingche's heart was moved.

Ye Jingche knew that Mrs. Zheng said these words because she was not reconciled, and he was not reconciled either.

For the throne, he had prepared for many years, and the concubine mother had done many times for him, just to help him clear the obstacles.

But if he is really adopted out, the mother and concubine will be very embarrassed in the palace, as well as those families who have spent many years on him.

They, I'm afraid they don't want to!
Thinking of this, Ye Jingche closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, there was a touch of firmness in his eyes.

"I will discuss this matter with my concubine and uncle first. If they all support it, then you can go back to Zheng's house."

Zheng Shi was not surprised to hear Ye Jingche's words, and this matter is a big one, it's not something that she can just say a few words to settle.

Moreover, if you really want to take that step, the mother and concubine in the palace, as well as the Liu family, must also contribute.

"Yes, I listen to you."

Mrs. Zheng will be very respectful to Ye Jingche, but both of them understand that there is no relationship between them, what maintained their relationship before was the alluring throne.

Now that such an accident happened, they would join forces calmly at this time.

For, of course, the high throne.
