Chapter 330: Full of Crisis and Long Wait
The late emperor had never intended to appoint a crown prince, and now it seems that the emperor also has the intention of not appointing a crown prince.
The emperor is still young, and no one in the court dares to appoint a crown prince.
The Queen Mother then thought of the selection of concubines. She had to let a woman from her mother's family enter the palace as a concubine and give birth to a prince. Only in this way could her mother's family continue to prosper.
"Your Majesty, why has there been no progress on the selection of concubines that I mentioned last time?" asked the Queen Mother.
Now that she had brought it up, the Queen would never dare to neglect it.
The fact that there has been no movement can only mean that it is the Emperor's problem.
"Don't worry, mother. The queen has already made arrangements. She has had portraits of the women who meet the requirements drawn and is currently screening them. After the initial screening, they will be sent to you for your review. After the queen and mother have finalized the candidates, these women will all come to participate in this autumn hunting event. The ones I like will be directly brought into the palace."
"So the emperor already had a plan. I feel relieved then. It's better for the palace to be lively. The emperor still has too few offspring. I just want to hug my grandson more and enjoy the happiness of family." The empress dowager smiled and nodded.
The emperor smiled and did not respond.
The mother and son ate quietly.
……
Xiao Yan'an had a fight with Luo Jixun, and it all ended peacefully.
The Luo family didn't dare to say a word.
There was no movement in the palace.
Ji Chuhe also felt relieved.
It seems that the emperor has dispelled his suspicions about the Huaiyang Palace, but it does not mean that the Huaiyang Palace will escape the fate of having the entire family executed.
In her previous life, she was familiar with the affairs of the court and was good at guessing the emperor's intentions.
Combined with what she saw before her death in her previous life, several things were confirmed.
The emperor's first wish is to subdue the Hu bandits.
The second step is to eliminate the powerful families, and finally, to abolish the feudal monarchy system.
This world can truly be his world!
Anyone can only crawl at his feet cautiously. He doesn't care about the suffering of the people in the world. What he cares about is the supreme power!
In this life, there will never be another battle like this. Even if the emperor attacks the Luo family, the aristocratic families in the court will not be eliminated as easily as in the previous life.
The situation in the court will no longer be firmly controlled by the emperor as in the previous life.
She would not allow the political situation to continue to develop as it did in her previous life.
Naturally, the emperor could not abolish the system of feudal monarchy at will.
Only in this way can the Huaiyang Palace escape disaster.
If they can wait until the third prince ascends the throne, the Huaiyang Palace will be able to truly escape danger.
This is a long wait full of crises.
……
The Great Xia Emperor's Autumn Hunting was more grand than any previous one, with the largest number of participants. Moreover, it was combined with the talent show, making it even more lively.
When Xiao Yan'an, Ji Chuhe and Liao Yunfei arrived at the hunting ground, many people had already arrived.
"Sister-in-law!" A light voice came over.
Ji Chuhe looked towards the source of the voice and saw Rong Qingqing waving excitedly in her direction.
"Prince, please go to the hunting grounds first. I will go to see the Queen Mother and the Empress."
"Okay." Xiao Yan'an turned and left.
Rong Qingqing had already hurried over to Ji Chuhe and was holding Ji Chuhe's hand affectionately.
"Qingqing, how long have you been here?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
Rong Yueyue and Rong Lele were still young and did not come to participate. Only Rong Qingqing came alone. She didn't want to stay with the adults as it was too boring, so she came to wait for Ji Chuhe.
"Sister-in-law, why is she here too?" Rong Qingqing looked at Liao Yunfei who was following behind Ji Chuhe with displeasure.
"She is the concubine of the prince's mansion and is qualified to participate." Ji Chuhe didn't say much.
"Then let's go in first." Rong Qingqing held Ji Chuhe's arm, and the two walked towards the temporary banquet hall not far away.
All the female members of the family today are arranged here.
You can go directly to the hunting ground through a small door, and those who are brave enough can go hunting with their fathers, brothers, uncles and uncles.
Rong Qingqing wanted to follow, but was stopped by the eldest lady, feeling itchy inside.
The Queen and the Queen Mother had not arrived yet, so Ji Chuhe went to greet several ladies of the Duke's Mansion first.
The eldest lady held Ji Chuhe's hand affectionately and said, "He'er, I'll leave Qingqing to you today. I'm really troubled. She insisted on going to some hunting ground. Is that a place for a girl to go?"
"Why can't girls go!" Rong Qingqing retorted in a low voice.
"Look! She is like this. It makes me so mad." The eldest lady was still helpless about educating her daughter.
"Aunt, don't be angry, I'll bring Qingqing with me today." Ji Chuhe agreed softly.
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words. She listens to you the most."
Rong Qingqing wanted to refute, but Ji Chuhe looked at her and she immediately shut up.
Ji Chuhe first pulled her and found a place.
Liao Yunfei followed the two men respectfully.
Ji Chuhe and Rong Qingqing sat in the front, and she sat in the back row, with no sense of existence at all, like a wisp of air.
"If I had known it was so boring, I wouldn't have come."
"If you're bored, I'll tell you a story."
"Yeah!"
"A long time ago, there was a girl who was born into a family of military commanders. She was good at martial arts since she was a child and was better than her brothers. However, she was a girl. When she grew up, her mother took away her spear and gave her an embroidery needle. From then on, she could only embroider her wedding dress in her boudoir. Her parents were looking for a husband for her everywhere, hoping that she would live a happy life after she got married."
Rong Qingqing was attracted by the story and couldn't help asking, "What happened next?"
"Later, she escaped and disguised herself as a man to go to the military camp to find her brothers. However, the war was raging everywhere and her brothers were fighting the enemy everywhere. She was not sure where they were. So she just found a military camp and joined it to kill the enemy. She was very brave and rose from a small soldier to the position of commander-in-chief. Her status was second only to the general who was the commander of their army."
"Wow! That's amazing! Sister-in-law, please keep telling me the story. I love hearing stories like this!"
"Not long after, another battle broke out. Unfortunately, she was injured and her identity was exposed. What greeted her was not the concern of the generals and subordinates, but their strange looks. Originally, the document submitted for rewarding merits was also intercepted and the woman's merits were replaced by another person's name, while her name appeared on the list of the killed in the battle column."
Rong Qingqing's face turned pale, "How could this be the result!"
"That was not the result. Later, the woman's injuries had not healed, and the general came to care for her every day. The woman felt something was wrong and discovered that the general had dirty thoughts about her. The general was already over fifty years old and had many wives and concubines at home."
Rong Qingqing's face turned even paler, and she didn't want to listen anymore.
However, Ji Chuhe had to finish the story.
This is the only way to achieve her goal of persuading Rong Qingqing.
Otherwise, this child has such unconventional ideas and is always annoyed by various rules, so sooner or later he will suffer.
