"What does it have to do with the general even if the Seventeenth Lady is elected as a Crown Princess? The General is just the uncle of Seventeenth Lady. But if the General's daughter is elected as a Crown Princess, the General will be the father-in-law in the future. There is a difference in closeness and distantness. Does the General understand the truth?"

After Zhou Ziqing finished speaking, he casually picked up the tea on the coffee table and took a sip, as if the scheming remarks that had provoked his brother just now were not from him.

Chu Wei looked embarrassed.

He did not immediately refute or refuse, but lowered his head and remained silent. Zhou Ziqing knew that he was struggling and struggling with himself.

So he stood up, knocked the handle of the folding fan on his hand a few times and said, "General, don't rush to answer me. After all, it's a big matter of accepting an adopted daughter. I have to consider it carefully. I will give the general ten days to consider this matter, and then give me a reply?"

His Royal Highness said this. If Chu Wei was still pretentious and even refused immediately, it would be too unkind. After all, it was a distinction between the ruler and the subject, and he could not ignore it.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Chu Wei's heart was filled with thousands of words and struggles, like a galloping horse, but in the end it only turned into three words. Zhou Ziqing walked out of the Marquis' Mansion and smiled off his lips.

To make Chu Wei take the mute as his adopted daughter, he needs to be scheming.

As soon as Zhou Ziqing left, Chu Changqin came to pay homage to Chu Wei.

Chu Wei was quite surprised: "Didn't the prince go to find you?"

He thought the prince would take the opportunity to see Chu Changqin.

Chu Changqin naturally did not tell his father about the unpleasant life between him and the prince.

He said, "Perhaps the prince was in a hurry to leave if he had something to do, so he didn't have time to see his son."

Chu Changqin changed the subject: "Father, what is the reason why His Highness, the Crown Prince, came to find you specifically?"

Chu Wei said casually: "He came to let me take a woman as my adopted daughter."

After Chu Wei finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate and said to Chu Changqin: "Xiangzhe, you have a good relationship with His Royal Highness. Since His Royal Highness comes to ask us for help, he regards this matter as a secret and trusts in us. You can't let Seventeenth Lady and your second uncle talk to you."

Chu Changqin was shocked and thought flashed through his instinct: Why did the prince make such a request to his father? Why did the prince ask his father to accept a woman as his adopted daughter? What is the purpose of accepting that woman as his adopted daughter?

"I wonder who your highness wants his father to accept as his adopted daughter?" Chu Changqin asked.

Chu Wei was stunned: I was just worried about whether to agree or not, but I forgot to ask the prince who he wanted to accept as his adopted daughter.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince didn't say it, I forgot me." Chu Wei looked ashamed...

"Why did Your Highness suddenly ask his father to accept his adopted daughter?"

When Chu Changqin asked this, Chu Wei slapped his head and asked, "Xiangzhe, why did the emperor hold the campaign for the Crown Princess? Is it because the prince fell in love with a woman and the emperor looked down on the woman's origin, so he came up with a way to run for the Crown Princess."

Chu Wei said "Oh" again: "I understand that the adopted daughter the prince wants to accept for his father is the prince's favorite. Xiangzhe, you have a good relationship with the prince, and you must know who the prince's favorite is."

These words made Chu Changqin dark.

After thinking about it carefully, everything was connected.

The mute girl is the daughter of the seventh-rank county magistrate. She is from a humble background and is not qualified to run for the crown princess. So His Royal Highness thought of a way to ask her father to adopt the mute girl as her adopted daughter.

Once the father agrees to this request, the mute girl becomes her own sister.

Brothers and sisters fall in love with each other is incest.

This prince...

Chu Changqin felt indescribable. I wonder if I should praise the prince for being smart or hate him for doing everything.

Unexpectedly, my friend and woman, the stupid guy chose a woman.

However, while Chu Changqin blamed the prince, he also asked himself: Isn’t it the same?

If he could give up that woman for the sake of the prince, then he and the prince could continue to have fun.

However, I chose another path.

The friendship with His Royal Highness will one day recover, but that woman cannot give up.

Thinking of this, Chu Changqin asked his father: "Father, you can't promise the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Chu Wei looked at Chu Changqin in surprise.

Chu Changqin said: "Don't forget that Seventeenth Lady is going to run for the Crown Princess. Grandfather made up his mind to be Seventeenth Lady as the Crown Princess. No one can stop the grandfather's decision. The father cannot stop the grandfather, nor can he be an enemy of the second uncle. Once the father accepts the prince's favorite as his adopted daughter, his position with the second uncle will inevitably stand opposite. The father must not want to become enemies with the second uncle, right? His father and the second uncle are brothers and sisters, and no matter what, they cannot destroy the relationship between such relatives."

Chu Wei said: "You know everything you said, but His Highness the Crown Prince also said another truth."

"What's the reason?"

"That is the difference between your second uncle becoming the future father-in-law and becoming the future father-in-law as a father-in-law."

Chu Changqin's heart trembled: The prince is indeed prepared.

What can drive people in this world is nothing more than benefits.

What is the difference between the father-in-law and the father-in-law's brother?

The difference is naturally bigger.

"Will the father give up his brotherly feelings for some benefit? How could his father be such a person?"

Chu Changqin said: "My father is definitely not such a person."

Chu Wei was surprised: "Xiangzhe, Your Highness the Crown Prince has always been intimate with you. Your relationship is as close as brothers. Why haven't you helped him now? Instead, you have stopped him? Did you misunderstand Xiangzhe's words for your father?"

"His prince and his son are kings and ministers, and the son dare not surpass his orders. But the father is his son's relative, so the son speaks out loud."

Chu Wei nodded: "The prince has given him a ten-day deadline for his father, so let's consider this matter again. Xiangzhe, do you know the prince's favorite person? Can you take him to see him as his father?"

Chu Changqin raised his eyebrows.

...

...

In the East Palace, Hong Ming saw a sneaky head at the entrance of the palace, so he walked over and was about to curse, but he found that it was King Guangping.

"Why is the prince here? Are you here to find His Highness the Crown Prince? Let me go in and report."

Not long after Hong Ming entered, he walked out and said to King Guangping: "Your Highness, please come in."

King Guangping walked inward with Hong Ming carefully. Hong Ming sighed in his heart. If King Guangping had been in the past, how could he be so timid and pitiful? It was all Concubine Yi who was defeated and was thrown into the cold palace. The palace was full of snobbish dogs, and King Guangping could not help but be as proud as before.

In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not favored, and many people in the Eastern Palace encountered such snobbishness.

"Your Highness, King Guangping has arrived."

When Hong Ming bowed his knees and retreated, there was no one else in the hall. King Guangping immediately took out the prince's handwriting and returned it to the prince and said, "Thank you, my mother's body has been well prepared by the imperial physician."

The prince put away the warrant and nodded: "It's fine. If you have any needs in the future, come and find me."

King Guangping lowered his head: "Does the emperor brother want to confer the seventeenth daughter of the Chu family as the crown princess?"

The prince trembled and didn't understand why King Guangping suddenly asked this.
