The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 413 Royal Status
Xie Shaoting, who was far away in the south of Yunnan, didn't know that his former good brother had already plotted to do a big thing. The emperor of the Kyushu Dynasty was incompetent, and the barbarians from the border invaded. He never sent generals to resist.

Every year, many soldiers guarding the border will die. Because of this, the soldiers guarding the border are not very willing to patrol the border. As long as they can take advantage of the loopholes, they usually live in the border cities, and sometimes barbarians come to invade.

Not only will they rob food, but they will also rob money and women. If these soldiers encounter them, they will take off their military uniforms and pretend to be ordinary people, hoping to escape and save their lives.

After Hongling became the crown prince, the rights of the old emperor were emptied. Hongling first deployed troops on the border, and then recruited private troops from all over the country to the border. In the Central Plains, Hongling's personal soldiers were replaced.

So far, the entire Kyushu has almost fallen into Hong Ling's hands, and his brothers who once participated in the battle for the crown prince were all transferred to various places by him, some went directly to the border, and became a bitter prince, and some were half-hearted. The older children were assigned by him to guard the imperial tomb, and the underage and ignorant ones were raised in the imperial palace.

Although Hongling didn't want to do this, the old emperor didn't have anyone available, so he could only keep his head down, hiding in the harem and playing with his concubines all day long.

Hong Ling is affectionate, although he doesn't like himself as his father, but apart from ostracizing his rights, he has never been short of him in terms of food and clothing.

He would not be prohibited from meeting anyone, nor would he be restricted in his actions. Although the old emperor did not get rid of Diannan, he heard that the concubine of Diannan was his daughter, so he felt relieved and thought about going Half of the children in southern Yunnan belong to their own family, so he has nothing to worry about.

It turned out that when Yongning married, he issued an imperial decree to designate Yongning to Xie Shaoting as the eldest concubine, but Hong Ling changed the imperial order privately and told Xie Shaoting that Yongning begged the emperor to marry him as a side concubine.

Just after noon that day, Hong Ling entered the palace, as usual, he was going to see the old emperor.

"Father, how are you? My son, send my respects to Father."

The old emperor was half lying on the couch, and a few charming young concubines were giving him a massage. He was drowsy, and looked extremely enjoying himself. Even when Hong Ling came in, he didn't lift his eyelids.

"Father? My son came to see you."

Hongling patiently called the old emperor again, although he would come every day, and the old emperor would agree a few times when he was in a good mood, but most of the time the old emperor did his own thing, as if he did not exist Same.

Seeing that the old emperor was half asleep again, Hong Ling raised his voice.

"Then father, rest well, and my son will come to see you tomorrow."

As he said that, he was about to leave. The old emperor raised his eyelids and opened them suddenly.

"Wait a minute..."

Just as Hong Ling turned around, he turned back after hearing this, with his head half down, without any disrespect.

"I heard that Hongzhen came to the news, saying that she was a side concubine in southern Yunnan? Ling'er, that is your own sister, and also my daughter, the daughter of my Kyushu royal family, how can she be the side concubine of the son of southern Yunnan?" Concubine? I remember when I issued the imperial decree, it stated that Hongzhen was a concubine in the past, you have to explain to me about this, right?"

Hong Ling looked at the old emperor with a smile.

"Father, when you gave the marriage, I don't know how many teams were sent into the south of Yunnan. Those people were all caught by Xie Shaoting. If I didn't happen to be in the south of Yunnan, Hongzhen might have died. Now she is still alive. Being able to be a side concubine is because of my face.

Fortunately, it was Hong Zhen who married her. If it were my other sister, or my younger sister, would Xie Shaoting still be able to let someone keep her?It's a blessing for Hongzhen to be a side concubine. You shouldn't ask me about this, you should ask the person who advises you.

This person's intentions are not righteous, not only to provoke the relationship between the father and Nanan, but also trying to make Nanan kill the father's daughter, this person will be questioned instead. "

The old emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. He originally wanted to make use of the problem to find Hongling's unhappiness.

Seeing the old emperor's face change again and again, Hong Ling clasped his hands together.

"If the father has nothing to do, I will leave first. I can't get away from the busy state affairs. The father should cultivate well here. You have been busy for Kyushu for most of your life. It is time to rest."

Speaking of Hong Ling, he turned around and left. The old emperor was so angry that he pushed a concubine away, gritted his teeth and watched Hong Ling go away. Now he felt that Hong Ling kept him to deliberately humiliate him.

Not long after Hong Ling walked, he spoke to the people around him.

"Go down and check to see who told my father that Yongning is a side concubine. I didn't expect him to have eyes and ears in this palace. You must find him out for me. Kyushu will be my world in the future, and I will not let you down." Those who are old should withdraw with peace of mind."

As he said that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away. Not long after he left, Concubine Shu, the second prince's biological mother, came out from around the corner. Looking at Hong Ling who was walking away, Concubine Shu clenched her fists.

The empress's eldest prince is useless. Although the eldest prince is the eldest son, the second prince has always been the most popular voice in the government and the public. But this time the rebellion of the fourth prince directly led to the loss of the crown prince. How can Concubine Shu not be impatient?
Seeing Hongling's power grow day by day, she thought of using the old emperor to fight against Hongling, trying to regain the power, and then manipulate the old emperor to give the crown prince to the second prince, so she should be the mother of the world Empress Dowager.

But now that Hong Ling is the crown prince, the queen is still the queen, after all the fourth prince Hong Ling is also raised by the queen.

Even though they don't necessarily have flesh and blood relationship between them, their status is always somewhere. If Hong Ling becomes the emperor, the empress will be the queen mother, and he can only go to the fief with his son. After all, where is the second prince now? Concubine Shu is not too clear about the place.

Seeing Hongling walking away, Concubine Shu turned her head and entered the bedroom. The emperor had been waiting for her for a long time at the facade.

Concubine Shu had been out of favor for a long time, but with the matter of Hongling, she used her network to check Hongling for the emperor several times, and regained her favor.

"Your Majesty, I am late, please don't be angry, Your Majesty."

A smile appeared on Concubine Shu's youthful-looking face.

Although she was nearly forty years old, her appearance and behavior pointed to a young woman in her 25s, and she had the charm of a young woman.

This is what the old emperor likes very much. Although the old emperor can no longer have children, concubine Shu can, so concubine Shu coaxes the old emperor to farm day and night, thinking that without the second prince, there must be another prince by his side. Well, save the time when the old emperor dies, she can only be exiled.
