Zhu Youtang was currently in Tzu Ning Palace to greet her own aunt, Princess Huiqing. Princess Huiqing was Zhu Jianshen's sister, she was her eldest daughter.
Before Zhu Jianshen was conferred the title of crown prince, and even before the incident with the Anglo-Saxon, he was able to lead a good life as the number one princess of the imperial family, Huai Qing. Unfortunately, as time passed, the position of the Daizong, the eldest daughter of the Emperor, plummeted.
”Stand up, you don't have to be so courteous. Remember, you are Great Ming Dynasty's Crown Prince, Zhu Youtang! ” Regarding Zhu Youtang, the crown prince, Princess Huiqing did not really like him but it was also impossible to say that he did not like him.
”Right now, Mother is feeling very good about this nephew of mine. Mother's son and son had already said that Zhu Youtang could be considered the best out of all of his royal brother's children. ”To be able to endure hardships, to be able to take on a great responsibility.”
With regards to Empress Dowager Zhou treating Zhu Youtang as a target, in reality, it was because he was optimistic about the actions of the Shao Family's eldest son, Zhu Youyuan. The Princess Huiqing was extremely disapproving, and from the looks of it, Zhu Youyuan had never experienced the things that Zhu Youtang had experienced at the beginning.
As long as he met with something big in the future, it would be a test for Zhu Youyuan. If the training was more severe, Zhu Youyuan would probably not be an enlightened Monarch in the future.
”Why did I choose the wrong one? The Shao Family was the Chen Fei that was born to an imperial concubine and was the emperor. Furthermore, not only is the Ji Clan a barbarian, but even more so, they have stayed in the West Palace for so many years.
Towards his own daughter, the Empress Dowager Zhou obviously had more words to say. The word ”identity” was the knot in Empress Dowager Zhou's heart for the rest of her life. Even if Empress Dowager Qian had been crippled all her life, she was still used to making her the Empress.
However, the Empress Dowager Zhou would always remain as the imperial concubine for his entire life, becoming the empress dowager in his capacity as the Imperial Consort Zhou. It was only because the Imperial Consort Zhou was the new emperor's mother.
Moreover, the position of the empress dowager was planned by the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Princess Huiqing. According to the previous rules, the empress dowager could not become one unless she was the emperor's mother. If the emperor's birth mother must become the empress dowager, unless the birth mother is the empress created by the emperor, the main imperial concubine.
All of this was not easy for the Empress Dowager Zhou to obtain, so he was even more dependent on his own eldest daughter, the Empress Dowager Zhou.
Now that they had a disagreement over Zhu Youtang, it was a rare matter between mother and daughter.
”Huiqing, why would mother harm you? After all, we are the family, aren't we? ” Empress Dowager Zhou spoke sincerely and earnestly to Princess Huiqing, helping his daughter analyze the reasoning bit by bit.
”If one were to describe him as the eldest son, Zhu Youtang being able to become the legitimate crown prince. But the royal family, my child, sees more than that. The birth of a mother is also very important! ”
Why is it so difficult for Empress Dowager Zhou to take steps and become my Empress Dowager Zhou at all? Only then do I understand. The Emperor respected the Emperor's favor and his position as the imperial concubine in the harem. These three points were all indispensable! Unfortunately, Empress Dowager Zhou understood it too late.
”I have my own plans for mother, since mother and I cannot agree. This way, we can follow our own thoughts and work. I will definitely make Zhu Youtang live and become the crown prince. ”
Princess Huiqing had not used such a forceful tone to speak to her mother for a long time! ”Mother, please recuperate properly. Your son shall take his leave.”
”Mistress, look at little gongzi! He hasn't forgotten about you, he's been filial to you all this time!” Cai He once again received the things sent over from Zhu Youtang's servants, and the first thing she did was to deliver them to the Former Empress Wu.
However, Former Empress Wu did not think so.
”You really still want to learn from Cai Xiang. You can't even see through such a simple logic now, what should you do in the future?” Zhu Youtang had just experienced a few small twists and turns in his life, that's all. As a result, the number of things in West Palace's Six An Palace increased day by day.
Former Empress Wu believed that Zhu Youtang wanted to gift it to him. However, the things that the Former Empress Wu represented behind his back were not things that he did not see, even though the Shao Chen Fei had always restrained his son.
Even Shao Chen Fei showed signs of being mediocre, but she had always had a better impression of Zhu Youyuan, the Third Prince. At the very least, Zhu Youtang could still sense the Empress Dowager Zhou's biased attitude.
As the mother sister of the emperor, the reason the Princess Huiqing wanted to interfere in the matter of the depositary was only because she wanted to fear nothing more than her future wealth. However, Princess Huiqing's current attitude was something the other Former Empress Wu couldn't figure out, so for a moment, Former Empress Wu couldn't figure it out either.
”Everyone says that the enemy of this enemy is a friend of theirs. I think that child, you should move closer to your aunt.” Former Empress Wu was still in contact with Zhu Youtang, but that was a last resort. After all, it was unjustifiable for the imperial concubine of the Cold Palace to come into contact with the crown prince.
