The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

During the following period of time, Shi Lidie talked about the answer she saw on a certain website in her previous life -

Virtue can be disguised.

Don’t you see that in her era, Yang Guang, the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was an Oscar-winning actor who could also act.

At that time, the founding monarch Yang Jian and the crown prince Yang Yong were already decided.

As a result, in order to compete for the throne, Yang Guang portrayed himself as a wise man. Not only did he play the role himself, he also dragged his wife and children into the role. Ultimately, he succeeded in getting Yang Jian to depose Crown Prince Yang Yong and re-appoint him as the crown prince.

But what were the consequences of doing so? After Yang Guang ascended the throne, his true colors were revealed and he squandered the Sui Dynasty's fortune.

Therefore, Shi Lidie agrees with the idea of ​​appointing the eldest son as the heir rather than the most capable one:

"If the princes all think they are virtuous, they will inevitably have the desire to compete with each other. If Your Majesty is biased in any way, it will arouse the jealousy of the princes, and the competition between brothers will never stop."

"They will compete for the support of court officials, the support of the people, and the following of generals. Then the entire court will be divided into factions and attack each other. Officials who really get things done will become cannon fodder, and the rest will be opportunists."

"The more serious consequence is that the succession of the throne will be filled with bloodshed and sacrifice. Even if someone can really sit on the throne, he may not be able to sit firmly on it and may encounter rebellion, etc., and the country will be torn apart."

"So, I have always believed that the best way is to establish the heir apparent if there is a legitimate heir, or establish the eldest son as the heir apparent if there is no legitimate heir."

"Let's take a step back and say that if the prince who is neither the eldest nor the legitimate son is really wise, then he will naturally put the overall situation first and will not joke with the foundation of the entire country. He will take the initiative to become a good helper to the crown prince, and this will not shake the foundation of the country."

"Of course, people's hearts are complicated, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. I am young and have limited experience, and what I say now is just my personal opinion. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he must have seen through it a long time ago."

The emperor couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Shi Lidie said:

"Yes, if there is a legitimate heir, the heir shall be the heir, if there is no legitimate heir, the eldest son shall be the heir. This is what I believed in the past. The queen has no children, and among all the princes, the third prince is the oldest, so I am biased towards him."

"Before getting married, he was allowed to set up a residence on his own, recruit retainers and staff; allowed to attend court and participate in government affairs, assigned him tasks, and given him opportunities to make contributions; even when Concubine Shu tried to test my attitude and asked me to grant him a marriage with the daughter of Marquis Dingbei, I did not refuse."

"What I want is to pave the way for this eldest son, to make his foundation solid, so that after a hundred years, he can smoothly take over the power in my hands and become the new king of the Dayin Dynasty."

"But I didn't expect him to be so useless!"

He had an affair with the daughter of a court official without a matchmaker, got her pregnant before marriage, and even ignored the overall situation and his future, insisting that the emperor grant him a marriage with Fang Ruoruo. It is really hard to believe that he would be a good king because of his love affair.

So, the emperor gave him a chance, but when he insisted on marrying Fang Ruoruo, it was abandoned.

The emperor was just very sorry that the training of the third prince in the past few years had gone to waste, but now he was not afraid. He took the queen's hand and looked at her belly with a smile:

"I will have a legitimate son soon. I will try my best to live a few more years and accompany our son to grow up."

After hearing this, the queen felt relieved. She said:

"Then your majesty must take care of your health. Xiaodie is here, why not let her take a look at your majesty and prepare a suitable diet for you to help you maintain your health? What do you think?"

"That's fine." The emperor nodded and asked Shi Lidie, "Is my health okay?"

After Shi Lidie secretly looked at it with the basic disease detector, she said:

"Your Majesty is in very good health. There are no major problems. It's just that you stay up late and work too hard, so sometimes you have some minor problems. Your Majesty just needs to adjust your work and rest schedule, get enough sleep, and arrange government affairs properly, and basically there will be no problems."

"According to your majesty's current physical condition, as long as you are not poisoned, assassinated, or seriously injured, you will be healthy and live a long life."

The emperor and his wife still trusted Shi Lidie very much.

Hearing her say this, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Okay, then you take care of the queen's health. I want to see the dragon son born safely."

"I will do my best." Shi Lidie agreed.

Later, it was getting late, so Shi Lidie asked to leave. The queen gave her a bunch of rewards and asked someone to send her back.

Shi Lidie gained a lot from this year-end palace banquet.

Not only points and gold, but also prizes for the competition, and rewards from the emperor and empress. This posture is just short of telling everyone that Shi Lidie is now in the emperor's favor and is in great good fortune.

***

After the palace banquet ended, Fang Ruoruo followed Fang Zhenghua and his wife back to the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

After entering the main door and arriving at the hall, Fang Zhenghua stared at Fang Ruoruo and said:

"Kneel down."

Fang Ruoruo rubbed her belly and knelt on the ground silently: "Dad."

"How could you do such a shameful thing and expose it in front of so many civil and military officials in the court? Are you afraid that my Earl's Mansion has lost face enough?" Fang Zhenghua had an angry look on his face.

At this time, Madam Fang helped Fang Ruoruo to stand up and said:

"Master, Ruoruo is already pregnant with the Third Prince's child, and His Majesty has granted the marriage, so why are you still holding on to it? Isn't it what we want to take over now?"

"Even if it's embarrassing, Ruoruo is definitely the Third Prince's consort. When the Third Prince inherits the throne in the future, Ruoruo's status will rise, and our Earl's Mansion will also benefit from it."

"So, why should Master be so harsh on Ruoruo?"

Fang Zhenghua looked at Mrs. Fang with cold eyes:

"It's because of your unbridled indulgence that she ended up taking this path!"

"Forget it. It's too late to say anything now. If Ruoruo marries the Third Prince, she should just rest assured and take care of her baby. The baby in your belly is His Majesty's first grandson."

"Your Majesty has no legitimate son, and has always placed high hopes on the Third Prince. Now that our whole family is on the Third Prince's ship, the result is not too bad. We will just take it one step at a time."

Fang Ruoruo dared to speak at this time and said:

"Father, I have confidence that the Third Prince's heart will always be with me. Please rest assured."

Seeing this, Mrs. Fang tried to smooth things over by saying:

"Alright, alright. His Majesty wants them to get married within seven days for Ruoruo's sake. We have to be busy these few days. Fortunately, Ruoruo's dowry has been prepared since she was a child, so it's not too hasty to pack it up now."

"Just take care of these things." Fang Zhenghua said, and then changed the subject, "That Shi Lidie..."

"Master, please don't worry about her. It's been so long, don't you understand? She has no intention of recognizing us. If she cared about the Earl's Mansion, she wouldn't have embarrassed Ruoruo so much during the competition." Madam Fang said, "Since she is not coming back, we will just pretend that we don't have a daughter like her. We already have the support of the Third Prince, which is enough!"

Fang Zhenghua was silent for a moment and didn't say anything, as if he agreed.
