They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Chapter 99 Why must the son inherit the family line?

Xiuchun looked at Jiang Wanyue and asked carefully.

"So... what should we do?"

Jiang Wanyue's face remained calm.

"What? What does this have to do with us? Besides, the person is under the nose of the Crown Princess!"

Xiuchun thought about it and agreed, but still couldn't help muttering.

"I don't know what the Crown Princess was thinking. Why would she place such a person in the main courtyard? Do you think it was..." Xiuchun hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Is it the order of His Highness?"

Jiang Wanyue's gaze paused, then she held her chin up and began to think.

"It's not impossible. After all, Wei Fuxue is the person the prince once loved but could not have, the white moonlight in his heart."

Xiuchun sighed.

"I just can't understand why the Crown Princess would allow this."

No matter how generous you are, you still have to follow the rules of etiquette, right? The Princess of Qi is your Highness's eldest sister-in-law! Hiding your sister-in-law at home... What kind of thing is this!

Jiang Wanyue didn't respond.

She was also wondering what Lu Qingshuang was planning.

It’s a pity that except Lu Qingshuang herself, no one else can know what she is thinking.

Jiang Wanyue couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it and just asked people to stare at the main courtyard from a distance.

I thought that after the baby's third birthday, I could rest and recuperate quietly. But I didn't expect that the emperor's two imperial edicts the next day would make the court lively again.

It was not surprising that Zhu Zhiwen was appointed as the Prince's Guardian, as everyone knew that the emperor trusted Zhu Zhiwen.

But appointing Jiang Zhi as the Prince's Tutor simply shocked everyone.

Even Jiang Zhi himself didn't expect that he still had a chance to rise again.

After receiving the imperial edict, he immediately changed into court robes and went to the palace to express his gratitude.

The emperor held Jiang Zhi and talked for a long time, encouraging him to teach the prince well and help him in every way he could.

Jiang Zhi did not get to meet the prince, but he received the land deed and the house deed that same day.

It is the old house of the Jiang family.

It had been empty since it was bought by Li Ce, and now it has been officially returned to the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhi held the two deeds in his hands, feeling emotional.

Who said the prince is reckless and ignorant of worldly affairs?

Look at this move, it's clear that he is very good at winning people's hearts.

Jiang Zhi knew very well that the position of the Crown Prince's Tutor was important, but not that important.

Originally, the positions of the Three Dukes were honorary titles, usually given to highly respected people in the court, or mentors, or elders of the crown prince.

The prince's situation is special. There are not many people in his mother's family, and he has no qualified mentor except his enlightenment teacher. He is also a military general. After choosing and choosing, only Jiang Zhi is considered to be good enough.

After all, he is Jiang Wanyue's grandfather, and in a sense, he is half the prince's elder.

Of course, Jiang Zhi did not dare to take this as a compliment.

He was thinking that the emperor would choose the remaining position of the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor from among the important officials in the court.

He just met the emperor today. Once the news gets out, many people will come to test the waters.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhi made a prompt decision and told his family to close the door and refuse the visitors.

Shen agreed readily, and after closing the door, she remembered that she had not informed her daughter yet, so she quickly asked her son to go to the palace.

Only then did Jiang Wanyue know that her grandfather had been reinstated.

This is rare good news for her.

In this way, her position as Consort Liang would be more secure.

She asked Xiuchun to pick out some good things from the warehouse and send them back to the Jiang family as gifts.

In just half a day, the Jiang family had become a popular family in Beijing.

Countless people came to visit the Jiang family, but were all kept outside.

In addition to the Jiang family, the Zhu family is also the same.

However, Zhu Zhiwen's leg had not yet healed, so he didn't need to make excuses. He simply drove away those irrelevant people on the grounds of recuperating.

In the next few days, the Jiang family was busy moving, while the Zhu family received a new door plaque.

The emperor thought about it for several days and bestowed the title of Earl of Loyalty and Bravery on Zhu Zhiwen. He wrote the words himself and asked someone to make a plaque and send it to the Zhu family to show his favor.

While the court officials' attention was focused on these two families, few people noticed that there were changes in the generals at the border.

The Liaodong Army rebelled, and the emperor issued an order to execute them. Unfortunately, the imperial envoy arrived a step too late, allowing the ringleader to escape.

The position of the general in Liaodong was vacant and naturally needed to be filled. The emperor selected an experienced and capable general from other border areas and adjusted the generals in various border areas.

When making adjustments, one naturally has to look at the achievements of the generals in various places.

When the emperor looked through it, he found a man who was very good at fighting.

The emperor touched his chin and with a flick of his red brush, transferred this man back to the capital, preparing to promote him to the commander of the imperial guards.

The new commander of the imperial guards was named Fan, with a single character, Dong.

A month passed in the blink of an eye for the emperor and his ministers.

But for Jiang Wanyue in the palace, it was a bit long.

The weather was getting colder, and more charcoal basins were added to the house. But even so, during the long days of winter, Jiang Wanyue still felt very cold.

At this time, she finally believed what Aunt Sun said, "Giving birth is harmful to the body." She no longer dared to be willful. She took her medicine obediently, and did not miss three meals a day, and also took two additional meals of supplements.

Two days before the end of the confinement period, the lochia was finally discharged.

Jiang Wanyue let out a long breath.

On the day of her confinement, Cui Yan brought her daughter to visit and brought back an unexpected good news.

"My father said that a family reunion banquet will be held in the mansion in three days."

Cui Yan, now should be called Zhu Yan, had a smile on her face and a light in her eyes.

For her, being able to recognize her relatives again was more gratifying than any status or position given by Li Ce.

Jiang Wanyue held her hand and congratulated her sincerely.

"Congratulations, sister. You finally got what you wanted."

Zhu Yan was all smiles, and after they sat down, she continued talking.

"My father said that after the family recognition banquet is over, he will choose an auspicious day to move my brother's grave back. He will also adopt a child as my brother's adopted son to inherit my brother's incense."

When she said this, the smile on her face faded and she couldn't help but sigh.

"I have always been thinking about this... If I had married an ordinary family, I could have adopted the child under my brother's name, but I married a prince... No, now I have to call him Your Highness."

"Don't worry now. My father has already made a plan. He won't choose someone from the clan, so as to avoid being bullied in the future. He will directly find an orphan without a father or a mother, so that there will be no worries."

Jiang Wanyue listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

Zhu Zhiwen decided to do this for his daughter's sake. If he chose someone from the clan, the blood relationship would be closer, but there would be more trouble. It would be better to find a child from outside.

While the two were talking, Li Chengyin had been sitting on a small stool playing with the newly acquired jade gourd. Unexpectedly, when Zhu Yan stopped talking, the little girl suddenly raised her head.

"Why do you have to find an unrelated person from outside to be your uncle's son? Why must a son be the successor? Yin'er can do it too! When Yin'er grows up, she will visit her uncle often, kowtow to him, and bring him delicious and fun things. Yin'er will never forget it!"
