Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 375

Not only the emperor is afraid that the princes will kill themselves in order to fight for the throne, but the ministers are also afraid!With orthodox heirs, they don't need to stand in line.Do things for the emperor honestly, and will not ask them to settle the matter after the new emperor takes office.

From the power of the dragon, not everyone wants it.Although it sounds promising from the Dragon's Kung Fu, in fact, it is tantamount to sticking your neck under the butcher's knife, and it may fall at any time.

So the best way is not to fight among the princes, not to fight for everyone's safety.Although the benefits brought by the investment are a little less, there is no need to be alarmed at every step.

In fact, their worries were in vain. The fourth prince and the crown prince had never had the idea of ​​competing. The second prince was dead, and the eldest prince withdrew from the candidate for the heir to the throne early because of his health.

Therefore, the prince's position as the crown prince is very stable, and there is no need to worry at all.But only the emperor himself knows this, others don't!So the behavior of the fourth prince somewhat relieved them, especially those from the Prince's faction, they were no longer wary of the fourth prince as before.

"Mother~"

The fourth prince ran in with a big watermelon in his arms. This was the first batch of watermelons this year, and the tribute was brought up from below.The emperor only got twenty or so, and asked the fourth prince to send one to Changning Palace.In addition to sending them to Qifeng Palace, they also reward meritorious ministers.

Shuning heard her son's voice coming from the side hall.

"What are you yelling at?"

"Mom, do you see?"

He lifted the watermelon with the big head in his arms.

"Mei Chun."

Shuning glanced at it and shouted.

"Yes."

Mei Chun stepped forward to pick up the watermelon.

"Aunt Mei Chun, my mother and I will only eat half of it, share the rest with you!"

The fourth prince said after handing the watermelon to Mei Chun.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Mei Chun pursed her lips into a smile, and left with the watermelon in her arms.

As the personal servants of imperial concubines, it is not uncommon for them to eat watermelon, but Sheng is not the season for watermelon at this time, so eating it is a rarity.

"Okay, let's talk!"

Shuning sat in the main hall, holding the wolfberry tea offered by Mei Xia in one hand.As for the fourth prince, what Mei Xia served was lotus heart tea, and it was almost summer, and the fourth prince was afraid of the heat, so the empress said she would quench his thirst.

"I'm going to the border to find my brother."

The fourth prince put down his tea, and looked at his mother with a pleading face.

"Your father agrees?"

Shuning gently blew on the wolfberries floating on the water.

"No, he said that as long as you agree, he will agree."

This is what makes the fourth prince most depressed.

"Ha~"

Shuning sneered, she was very good at shirking responsibility.

"Three words, do you want to listen?"

"Forget it, I already know what you mean."

The fourth prince shook his head, his mother's meaning was very clear, he just disagreed.

"Hmph, count your self-knowledge."

Shuning put down the tea bowl, stood up and walked to the side of her youngest son.

"Your brother is no longer with us, are you going to leave your parents and leave?"

She had already sent away one son, but she was unwilling to let her younger son leave again.Even if he wants to leave, he is still too young, let's talk about it in five years!
"... Mother..."

The fourth prince lowered his head.

"Haha, let's go! It's time for class, isn't it?"

Shuning turned her back and went to the inner hall.

"Ah~"

The fourth prince walked out of Changning Palace with a sigh, and looked back after walking a few steps.

"My brother, my father, and I were all eaten to death by my mother. What a misfortune for a man."

Shu Ning returned to the apse and took out a self-portrait that the prince had painted before he left.

Gently unfolded, although the prince was about to grow up when he left, he was still childish. I don't know what happened to the prince now?
"Your Highness, this servant has already stopped the bleeding for you, please don't touch your arms with water for the next two days."

Mu Chonglou packed the medicine box and said to the prince.

"Okay, I see. Thank you, Chong Lou, fortunate to have you." The so-called medicine and poison do not separate families, and now he is very grateful to have a person who understands medicine by his side.

"Your Highness, this is what a servant girl should do."

Chong Lou put away the medicine box, which was full of special medicines made by Aunt Mei Dong, Aunt Mei Xia and the imperial doctors, various pills and powders.Among them, wound medicine is the most common, because swords have no eyes on the battlefield.

"Well, although he was injured today, Gu also killed dozens of enemies, including two Tatar generals."

The prince summed up his gains and losses on the battlefield today. Although he killed a lot of enemies, he was almost dragged off his horse by an ordinary soldier because of his lack of experience.

This war with the Tatars has dragged on for a long time. The Tatars always make small troubles, and the main force does not come out. Each time they only send 1 people to fight. I don’t know what the other side wants to do?
"See His Royal Highness, the Marshal welcomes you."

A soldier came in and knelt down with fists folded.

"Well, what does uncle ask Gu to do at this time? Chonglou and Dahai change Gu's clothes."

The prince was injured, and the armor on his body had been taken off.

"Yes."

Put on a clean soft armor for the prince again, and the armor that just came off the battlefield must be cleaned before he can put it on for His Highness.This is what the imperial concubine said, even the battle armor should be cleaned from time to time, otherwise there will be some bacteria in it, which is not good for people's health.

When the prince came to the main hall, it was different from when he first came, with sand tables and military maps on display.Fang Xian only called the crown prince and a few brothers, but did not call other generals.

It's not that he is biased, but that this incident is so important that it cannot be spread outside the public until it is confirmed.

"Uncle."
