Jingyang Palace, the gate is closed.

Although Jingyang Palace is one of the six eastern palaces, it is like a cold palace. The emperor never comes here.

Not only the emperor, but even the eunuchs and maids in the palace dare not stay here. Even if there are important things to do, they will bypass Jingyang Palace from afar without passing by.

They were worried that if they were seen by Concubine Zheng, there would be no good ending.

After Chen Hou, Yan Zhitui came to Jingyang Palace as usual. He was one of the lecturers of the eldest son of the emperor. He was from the imperial study room and was Chen Ju's godson. Among the eunuchs in the palace, Chen Ju could act without looking at Concubine Zheng's expression, so the emperor asked Chen Ju's people to teach the emperor's eldest son.

The Si Yan, who guarded Jingyang Gate, was the Concubine Zheng. When Yan Zhitui came to give a lecture to the eldest son, he deliberately used the excuse to find the key, and then delayed it for a while before Yan Zhi pushed forward to Jingyang Palace.

Yan Zhitui Fang arrived in front of Jingyang Palace and heard footsteps coming. But when he saw that the eldest son had already run out, he said in surprise: "Is Mr. Yan coming to teach me a book again today?"

Seeing the eldest son's expression of joy, Yan Zhitui was happy, but he said, "How precious is Your Highness's body of a thousand gold? Not to mention an insidious minister, even a future Hanlin lecturer, you don't have to go out to greet him!"

When the eldest son heard this, he immediately said that he was taught, and then said with a sad face: "I have been holding it in the house for a long time. I finally met the gentleman. I couldn't think too thoughtful when I was happy."

Yan Zhitui sighed and said, "Pity, pitiful, this young man is just when he wants to see the world of flowers, but he is in a confinement in this cold palace with his mother.

"Today, the Inner Messenger will not teach you, please invite your mother. Eunuch Chen has a few words for me to convey."

Seeing that the other party was speaking solemnly, the eldest son immediately asked his close attendant to call Concubine Wang Gong.

Soon two old nannies helped Concubine Wang Gong to the palace. The eldest son remarked to Yan Zhi: "Mother's health has not been very comfortable these days, so please tell me a short story."

Concubine Wang Gong hurriedly said, "Luoer, don't do this. I have no light of day in this Jingyang Palace for many years. I finally have a gentleman to accompany me to talk, but I don't know how happy it is."

"Get another basin of charcoal fire."

Several old nannies acted according to their words and actions. Yan Zhitui knew that the reason why the people who served Jingyang Palace were all old nannies was because of the emperor's eldest son.

Just a month ago, Concubine Zheng said that the eldest son of Emperor Zheng was happy to play with the palace maids, and was no longer a boy. After hearing this, Wanli was furious and sent the central official to check it out. As a result, Concubine Wang Gong cried to the central official. For more than ten years, I lived with the eldest son of the emperor in Jingyang Palace, and I dared not make any mistakes. I was afraid of such a message, but it still came true today.

After Concubine Wang Gong said this, the emperor believed it, but he still removed the palace maids under the age of fifty in Jingyang Palace and sent all the old nanny to serve.

Yan Zhitui also saw that the items in Jingyang Palace were very old and rarely were given by imperial courts, and they were not at all like the concubines in other palaces, and the other concubines tried their best to dress themselves up, while Concubine Wang Gong was dressed simply and had white hair on her temples.

Yan Zhitui immediately said to Concubine Wang Gong: "It's your highness's business. In fact, Eunuch Chen has also followed the emperor's will..."

Then Yan Zhitui said something to Concubine Wang for a long time. The eldest son was listening to it and didn't understand it. He just saw Concubine Wang's expression as happy and sad, and looked at him from time to time.

After talking for a while, Yan Zhitui said, "Empress, the inner minister is outside the door. You can talk to your highness carefully."

After Yan Zhi pushed me away, the eldest son of the emperor asked in surprise: "Mother, are you going to let me leave Jingyang Palace?"

Concubine Wang Gong hugged the eldest son and looked at him for a long time. Suddenly shed tears and said, "Luoer, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you. It's useless, I'm just a palace maid."

The eldest son of the emperor panicked and said, "Mother, what did you say?"

Concubine Wang Gong stopped crying and said to the eldest son: "Luoer, I only regret that my mother was short-sighted and very short-sighted. If I had heard Lin Sanyuan's words back then, I would not have been today."

The eldest son of the emperor asked, "What are you talking about?"

Concubine Wang Gong said, "He asked his mother to adopt you for the Empress. As he said, you have long been the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. At that time, you and I would not have the situation today."

The eldest son of the emperor pulled Princess Wang Gong and said in tears: "Mom, the child doesn't want to go to Kunning Palace."

Concubine Wang cried and said, "You, my mother and son have been with you for twelve years. This life is enough. If you go out of the cabinet and study in the future, you will also leave Jingyang Palace."

"No," the eldest son panicked and knelt on the ground and said, "Mother, the child doesn't want to leave you. I don't want to be the prince, nor do I want to go out of the house to study. I just want to be by my mother's side."

Concubine Wang Gong stroked the head of the emperor's eldest son and said, "Shut up, my mother has been wrong for twelve years, so you can't make any mistakes anymore. You are the eldest son of the sacred family, but you are the blood of the Tian family. All the ministers of the court hope that you can inherit the world of your father in the future."

"But it is precisely because of this that your father doesn't want to see you, it's not that he doesn't care about the father-son relationship."

Concubine Wang Gong said as she burst into tears.

The eldest son knelt beside Concubine Wang Gong and cried in tears.

At this time, Yan Zhitui's voice came from outside: "Empress, it's almost done."

Concubine Wang Gong said: "Rong I will say a few more words to the emperor!"

The eldest son of the emperor said in surprise: "Mom, is it today?"

Concubine Wang Gong nodded slowly and said, "Today you go to Kunning Palace! If you don't receive your father's will, don't come to Jingyang Palace."

"No!" The eldest son of the emperor panicked.

"If you don't go, my mother will die in front of you at this moment!"

The eldest son's lips kept trembling. He grabbed his robe and felt extremely painful in his heart.

"Mother!" the eldest son wailed heartbrokenly.

Yan Zhitui's eyes were bursting with tears when he heard this, but he could only say, "Empress, you can't hesitate anymore. Your Majesty is not strong at this moment and can change your mind at any time. We should go to Kunning Palace quickly. As long as your Highness recognizes the Queen, it will be a goodbye."

Concubine Wang Gong looked at the eldest son with infinite affection and said, "Son of the Emperor, go, don't delay any more. Remember every word my mother said."

"Mom, I will become the prince in the future, and I will ask my father to come back and pick you up!" The eldest son clenched his fists.

"No, you are just the beginning of becoming the prince. There is still a long way to go in the future. Don't use your father's kindness and mercy on such things. Don't hate your father, and don't hate anyone. As long as you can be well, your mother will be enough in this life!"

After saying that, Concubine Wang gritted her teeth and cruelly pushed the eldest son out of Jingyang Palace, and then closed the palace gate left and right.

The eldest son of the emperor was not willing to do so. He rushed forward and the palace gate was closed, so he could only slap the door and cry.

Yan Zhitui stood aside and sighed, "Your Highness, it's time to leave."

The eldest son turned around and looked at Yan Zhi and shook his head and said, "I don't want to be the prince."

Yan Zhitui said seriously after hearing this: "Your Highness, if you say this, you will let Concubine Gong down. Is Your Highness worthy of her?"

The eldest son sat on the ground and thought for a while, knocked three times at the Jingyang Palace gate, then wiped his tears and said, "Okay, let's go!"

Seeing this, Yan Zhitui nodded happily, took the eldest son's hand and walked out of Jingyang Palace.

At the same time, a man from the palace came to Lin Yanchao's mansion with a letter in his hand.

Lin Yanchao knew that it was Chen Ju who invited him to meet him, so he immediately left the mansion in a very indifferent manner.

The two met at the teahouse at the time.

As soon as Chen Ju saw Lin Yanchao, he said, "The eldest son of the emperor has entered Kunning Palace and is now in foster care with the queen."

Lin Yanchao said: "Why did this happen suddenly? Is it inappropriate that the eldest son and the third son of the emperor went out of the cabinet to study one after another? Did Your Majesty change his mind again?"

Chen Ju said: "It was Yuan Fu's good intention to do bad things. He told Your Majesty that what if the eldest son of the emperor first left the cabinet and studied, the court officials would not agree with the third son of the emperor? So Your Majesty changed his mind and asked the three princes to be crowned kings together."

Lin Yanchao heard this and said, "Wang Taicang's move is not directed at me."

"In theory, Wang Taicang is not the one who planned to make a contribution to this book."

Lin Yanchao said: "Then he still doesn't want to use my strategy, so he proposed the three kings and conferred them as a turnaround, thinking that it is a step further, but he is afraid that the court officials will oppose the emperor's eldest son to recognize the queen and become the legitimate son."

Chen Ju looked at Lin Yanchao, but saw that Lin Yanchao's expression was calm, at least he did not show any anger on his face.

Lin Yanchao said: "It's just that the eldest son of the emperor has grown up. Even the queen has to avoid suspicion. It's not like staying in the palace for a long time."

Chen Ju said: "According to the rules, the prince will move the palace to the West Five Places when he reaches the age of the eldest son. If he is the prince, the palace should be in Ciqing Palace!"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "I understand, Wang Taicang's intention is here. As long as the eldest son leaves Jingyang Palace, the emperor has to follow the flow and immediately complete the work of leaving the cabinet and studying."

Although Lin Yanchao understood what Wang Xijue meant, he was still very dissatisfied with his denial of his idea.

As soon as the other party returned to the court, he destroyed the tacit understanding between him and Zhao Zhigao. Zhao Zhigao could think that nothing had happened, but he could not.

Chen Ju said at this time: "The emperor's eldest son has been under the supervision of the empress and our family. The person next to the emperor's eldest son revealed that the emperor's eldest son admires you very much, and he also knows that you scolded Concubine Zheng in the Qianqing Palace, and I am even more grateful to you!"

Lin Yanchao laughed when he heard this. He was so unintentional that he would plant willows and willows!

At the beginning, I planned not to get involved in the matter of the country.

In fact, the emperor had already made a decision on the appointment of the eldest son of the emperor. Otherwise, when he and Zhao Zhigao discussed the lecturer in the hall, the emperor only asked about the candidates for the eldest son of the emperor, but did not mention the lecturer of the third son of the emperor.

This is what the emperor said to Zhao Zhigao and Lin Yanchao without saying.

But the court officials always like to think about the emperor's thoughts, so to a certain extent, the emperor and the eldest son are now in such a relationship, and the ministers also have to take the blame.

But no matter what, Concubine Zheng's first operation was to completely push herself to the eldest son.

At this time, Chen Ju said: "The establishment of the crown prince is the first contribution of the country. As a courtesy, if you ask who is the most qualified to speak out for this, it is undoubtedly yours!"
