Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Chapter 13 The eldest son

"What? You said this idea was from the Sixth Prince?"

Inside Fengqi Palace, Queen Baiyu was shocked again.

"No wonder he's been so honest recently. It turns out he's been doing this behind the scenes! You just said he gave all the credit to Prince Qing? What's he up to? When did he and Prince Qing have such a good relationship?"

The palace maid kneeling on the ground remained silent, just lowered her head slightly.

"You haven't received a reply yet?"

"Reply Queen, not yet."

"It's been so long! What is he doing?!"

The palace maids on the ground remained silent. They had all been trained on what to say and what not to say.

"Go get some paper and pen, and send me a letter!"

"Why is the Queen so angry? Be careful not to get wrinkles on that fair little face~"

An indistinguishable androgynous voice came from the queen's bed. The queen turned her head to look inside the room, and her expression became ambiguous.

"Come and get the letter at dinner time. You can leave first."

"Yes."

The maid retreated and closed the door. Then the queen took off her hair ornaments in front of the mirror and walked to the window while taking off her clothes.

"Brother Tensen, what good ideas do you have?"

"That depends on how Ning'er performs~"

"How annoying!"

......

Qing Palace——

King Qing just returned home.

"Your Majesty! You are back~"

She is Princess Qing, the legitimate daughter of Grand Tutor Baili Du - Baili Qing.

Taifu Baili Du only had one wife and one concubine, and Taifu was a man who valued etiquette. All children in the family received equal education, regardless of whether they were legitimate or illegitimate. However, the power in the family was still in the hands of the legal wife, and daily etiquette and clothing were still in order of seniority. He was neither partial nor conservative.

The legitimate daughter Baili Qing is actually the youngest daughter in the family, and the only girl in the family. The Grand Tutor had a daughter in his old age, and he doted on Baili Qing a little, so Baili Qing has both the tranquility and dignity of a literary family, and a little bit of the arrogance of a young lady from an official family. Prince Qing is already 28 years old this year, and Baili Qing is already 26 years old. They also have a son named Xiao Nianqing, who is already 7 years old this year.

"Why are you standing outside? It's windy. Just wait for me inside."

Princess Qing took off Prince Qing's coat and handed it to the maid standing on the side.

"It's noon now, the sun is shining and it's warm~"

"Let's talk inside first."

Prince Qing pulled Princess Qing into the house and sat them down. The food was already laid out in the room, most of which were Prince Qing's favorites.

"I had some snacks at my father's place, and I'm still a little hungry now. You eat first."

"If Your Majesty doesn't eat, how can I eat?"

After hearing this, King Qing smiled.

"Okay, then I'll eat with you!"

But Prince Qing really couldn't eat any more, so he began to serve food to Princess Qing and filled a bowl.

"If my father sees me like this, he will definitely say that I don't know how to behave."

Princess Qing said she was not right while smiling happily. But Prince Qing felt that what she said was wrong.

"If my father-in-law saw this, he would be happy."

Indeed, even if most people hold the view that men are superior to women, they will still be happy to see their daughters being spoiled by their husbands.

"What obstacles will you encounter when you go to court today?"

Princess Qing was concerned about Prince Qing's attendance at court, fearing that he would be bullied.

Xiao Zuoqing was the son born before Emperor Mingren ascended the throne. In fact, he was the real eldest son of Emperor Mingren. Because Emperor Mingren, also known as Xiao Wu, was not favored by the previous emperor since childhood, he only married a wife at that time and had no concubines. Xiao Zuoqing was the legitimate son.

But strangely enough, the late emperor's descendants fought for the throne, and in the end only Xiao Wu survived, and the late emperor's descendants died or became disabled, and in the end only Xiao Wu could succeed to the throne normally. But even so, the late emperor was still entangled and did not want to pass the throne to this son.

Later, Xiao Wu married General Bai's youngest daughter Bai Qingning as his co-wife, making her equal to his principal wife. One year later, the late emperor made Xiao Wu the crown prince.

They could be said to be on an equal footing, but how could the daughter of a great general allow anyone to be on an equal footing with her? After entering the mansion, all household affairs were handed over to Bai Qingning.

One month before Xiao Wu ascended the throne, his wife asked to leave the palace to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. However, Xiao Wu was afraid of being branded as a man who had abandoned his wife, so he ordered people to build a shrine in the palace for her to recite Buddhist scriptures. Bai Qingning was then named Queen Baiyu.

It is precisely because of this relationship that although the emperor also likes the White Jade Queen, he does not like the Third Prince. Perhaps once he sits in that position, he no longer likes being threatened.

Xiao Zuoqing basically did not attend the court for this reason, wanting to stay away from them and live his own life. Perhaps Emperor Mingren also felt that he owed his eldest son a title of king and arranged a marriage for him with the Taifu family.

"Of course it went smoothly. Although I haven't been to court for a long time, I went there this time with the people's livelihood in mind. In addition, my sixth brother also helped me secretly, so no one made things difficult for me."

"Prince Yun really wants to help the prince? Does the prince really trust him?"

Princess Qing had never had any contact with Prince Yun. It could be said that in the past few years since she joined the Qing Palace, she had never seen Prince Qing and Prince Yun interact with each other. Except for special days when she needed to enter the palace, she had never seen Prince Yun.

"In the entire palace, even my father might harm me, but my sixth brother is the only one who won't."

"Why are you so sure, my lord?"

"You will know later."

Prince Qing touched her head, as if to reassure her.

"Although I was unwilling back then, my mother asked me to endure it. After marrying you, I hope that our family can live a simple life. But what my sixth brother said is right. If I don't fight, my third brother will take the throne one day, and we will not be able to survive! If I don't fight, my mother will have to live in that dark palace forever!"

Prince Qing said, clenching his fists a little excitedly. Princess Qing touched his hands and helped him open his palms to avoid hurting himself.

"If the prince wants to do it, it will definitely be accomplished! I don't ask for much, I just hope that my family can live in peace and live the life they want. If this is what the prince wants, Qing'er will definitely do her part."

Prince Qing looked at his princess coming towards him and pinched her face.

"Eat quickly, it will get cold soon~"

"it is good!"

After lunch, Xiao Zuochen prepared to lean on the couch and take a nap.

"Master! Do you want to sleep outside?"

Yunyou suddenly jumped to the door again.

"Huh? Why do you want to sleep outside?"

Doesn’t the couch smell good?

"It's sunny outside~ I can bask in the sun!"

"The sun is too bright, I can't sleep."

"Na~"

Yunyou suddenly took out a strip of black cloth and handed it to King Yun.

Xiao Zuochen gave him a disdainful look.

"Why did you hand the mask to me?"

"No, Master, this is not a mask, look!"

Yunyou opened it and found that it was indeed not like a mask, not triangular, but just a strip of cloth that was wide in the middle and narrow on both sides.

"If you tie this around your eyes, you won't be dazzled by the sun. You can call it an eye mask!"

......

Xiao Zuochen curled his lips, didn't take it, turned over, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
