www.lnmao.org, the fastest update of my beloved ugly girl, please give me more advice on the latest chapter!
"What the Queen Mother said is that I also have this plan," Fang Zhiheng nodded, stroking the tea bowl with his fingers, paused, and said in a deep voice, "If Ming Zheng is given the title of king, naturally Ming'e cannot be left behind. After all, Ming'e is still his brother."
"This is natural," the Queen Mother nodded, looking at Zhong Zhiheng, "Then what position does the emperor think is appropriate for Ming'e and Mingzheng?"
"To be honest with my mother, I originally wanted to give Ming'e and Mingzheng the same status. Although Mingzheng was born to a noble concubine and has a more noble status, Ming'e is older after all, and Ming'e has always done things safely. I can't bear to let Ming'e be inferior to my younger brother," Fang Zhiheng sighed softly, "but now, there is good news in Mingzheng's house. If I still give their brothers the same status, I'm afraid it will make people think twice. ”
"What the emperor said is that anyone with a discerning eye must know that the status of the two princes should be different this time. It would be inappropriate if the emperor actually gave them the same status. "The Queen Mother said slowly, and then said in deep thought, "Then make Mingzheng the first-grade prince, and make Ming'e the first-grade county prince."
"But after all, I have wronged Ming'e, such an honest and steady child." Fang Zhiheng sighed.
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and suddenly looked at Fang Zhiheng: "It has been seven or eight years since Ming'e's wedding, right? But there has always been no place for her. Your Majesty, don't you find it strange?"
"Yes, I have always had this suspicion in my mind. It's just that I sent the imperial doctor several times to Ming'e and the second prince's concubine to ask for pulse, but nothing was wrong. I am also puzzled to understand it," Fang Zhiheng sighed, " I don’t have many princes under my knees, so I think of my grandchildren, and my son’s interest is declining. Now, in addition to having a girl in Ming Zheng’s house, I am counting on Ming Zheng’s wife to have an imperial grandson in her belly.”
"Your Majesty, don't be too anxious. After all, Ming'e and Mingzheng are still young," the Queen Mother said softly, reaching out and patting Fang Zhiheng's hand, "Besides, isn't there Mingrong?"
"How old is Ming Rong? My mother is always teasing me," Zhong Zhiheng said with a smile, while taking a sip of tea, his expression became serious again, "I do want to give Ming Rong a princely position, but if this is the case, I I feel uneasy."
The Zhao family has a noble concubine and a right prime minister, and Zhong Mingzheng is the son-in-law of An Zishang, the Minister of Rites. With the Zhao family and the An family protecting him, the position of a prince is almost certain. Now If he were to be crowned a prince in one fell swoop, I am afraid that just after the Chinese New Year, the whole court would be clamoring for the appointment of a prince again. Zhong Zhiheng was only in his early fifties this year and was in good health. Besides, he had just deposed a prince of the East Palace, so he is now He had no plans to establish a crown prince, so naturally he was not happy to see the situation where hundreds of officials asked him to establish a crown prince.
The Queen Mother naturally understood what Zhong Zhiheng was thinking. She took a sip of tea, then twirled the Buddhist beads and said slowly: "During the Double Ninth Festival, Xiao An from the An Mansion came to the palace to pay his respects to the Ai family. Look, the Ai family It’s a good idea to look after that girl, she’s someone who values affection and righteousness.”
Zhong Zhiheng raised his eyebrows: "That little An from An Zishang's family?"
"Yes, speaking of it, that little An was the one granted marriage by Lord Long Live," the Queen Mother sneered, "I heard that An Zishang came to the palace in person to request the decree."
"Isn't it? I was shocked at that time. An Zishang was crying and begging me for a decree to marry him so that he could fulfill his daughter's infatuation." Zhong Zhiheng also raised his lips in a sarcastic way. He took a sip of tea and calmly said, "Since Xiao An values love and justice, let's send Xiao An to Ninggu Pagoda."
The Queen Mother said nothing, just lowered her head and sipped the tea lightly.

The tenth day of November in the 32nd year of Jiasheng

A Chou made bacon last month. Today, I took advantage of the noon sun to go down the mountain to deliver some ideas to Grandma Chen’s house.
When we arrived at Jixian Bookstore, it was not Grandma Chen who opened the door for A Chou this time, but Chen Qingxuan.
"Mr. Chen, isn't Grandma Chen at home?" A Chou followed Chen Qingxuan in. He didn't see Grandma Chen on either side.
"I went back to the village. There was a happy event for a relative in the village. She went back to help." Chen Qingxuan took the bacon from her hand and said to A Chou with a smile, "How can I accept you so easily?" Such a great gift, I just have a jar of good tea here, take it back and drink it."
"No, no, no, no, Mr. Chen," A Chou waved his hands in a hurry, a little embarrassed, "I just bought new tea a few days ago, and I bought quite a lot."
