Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"My dear brother, see your royal brother!"

As soon as Lu Chenxiao came in, he knelt on one knee to greet him.

Emperor Yuan Qing was startled by his solemn appearance and stood up quickly, feeling uneasy.

As far as he knew, normally, this hard thing was only used by the emperor.

Once you call him "royal brother", it means you have something to ask of you.

Emperor Yuan Qing, who was prepared, sat back on the dragon throne and said, "Stand up and tell me, are you here for your good princess again?"

Lu Chenxiao stood up, and Eunuch Shun immediately brought a chair over.

He sat down in the chair without any hesitation, then nodded slowly, "May I ask my royal brother, your sister-in-law went out and got wronged, do you care?"

Emperor Yuan Qing had a look on his face that said "I knew it" and asked cheerfully, "With Meng's fierceness, would she still suffer injustice?"

Lu Chenxiao frowned, "Where did you hear these false rumors, my brother?"

"Who else could it be? Aunt Shunan just left the palace, saying that Princess Heng messed up her flower-viewing banquet and even schemed to kill the baby in Song Jinyan's wife's belly. Now the old lady of the Song family is crying and making a scene at the door of her princess's mansion."

"Did she tell you that when Princess Heng came to attend the banquet, the concierge of the Princess's Mansion simply ignored her, and Zuo Zhaoyang was so bold as to flirt with Princess Heng in public. After being punished by the servants, he held a grudge and sent assassins from the Princess's Mansion to ambush the Princess on her way back home?"

"And Aunt Shun'an, as a legitimate princess of the royal family, actually let Princess Heng address Prince Yu's concubine as the emperor's sister-in-law in public. Zuo Youran even colluded with Wen Liuli to plot to ruin Princess Heng's reputation in public?"

"If Princess Shunan has told you all this and you still think she is tough, then I have nothing to say."

It was the first time that Emperor Yuan Qing heard his younger brother say such a long sentence, and the content was so shocking and frightening.

After being stunned for a while, he asked hesitantly, "So many things happened during a flower viewing banquet?"

Lu Chenxiao snorted coldly, "As for Song Jinyan's child... that was because Prince Yu fell in love with Song Jinyan's sister, but the concubine got jealous, and the two sides fought in public. Madam Song went to mediate and was implicated, and my wife didn't even get involved."

"How dare Shun'an deceive me, and even tried to trick me into ordering the punishment of Princess Heng without knowing the whole story."

Emperor Yuan Qing was very angry.

Compared to his aunt, with whom he had never gotten along, he naturally trusted his biological brother more.

What's more, the matter involved Prince Yu, so he had to believe it.

"Also, have you ever thought about why Shunan holds flower-viewing banquets several times a year, and invites only the children of important officials in the court."

"what do you mean……"

Lu Chenxiao didn't say it explicitly, he just gave him a look that said you understand.

Emperor Yuan Qing immediately became serious.

"If that's true, then Shunan deserves to die!"

Lu Chenxiao reminded calmly, "When the emperor was still alive, she valued the fourth child and didn't take you seriously."

Emperor Yuan Qing looked at his brother, who was sitting in the chair opposite him, with a sad look on his face. "If I don't stab me, will you feel uncomfortable?"

My father has nine children in total, including four princes and five princesses.

The second son was the first to be conferred the title of Prince of Wan. Because his mother died early and he himself was in poor health, he went to his fiefdom early and did not return for many years. The fourth son was Prince of Yu. His biological mother was the late emperor's Consort Chen, who was deeply loved by the late emperor. He was the fifth son, and Ah Xiao was the ninth and the youngest. Both of them were born to the Empress Dowager.

Before Ah Xiao was born, everyone thought that his father would make Prince Yu the crown prince, and he and his mother thought so too.

Because my father used the character "Chen" which represents honorable status as the title of Prince Yu's biological mother, Concubine Chen and her son had no limelight in the palace during those years.

Even my mother, who was the head of the six palaces, had to avoid the edge of Concubine Chen until Xiao was born.

In the words of his father, Xiao was the one most like him and the most intelligent among all his sons, so he used the word "Chen" in Xiao's name and took him to court to handle state affairs when he was four years old.

But it was precisely because of his father's favoritism that Ah Xiao became a thorn in everyone's side. As a child, Ah Xiao nearly died several times in the intrigues of women.

After repeated conspiracies and plots, Ah Xiao finally incurred the dislike of his father and was expelled from the capital.

Concubine Chen and her son were delighted by this, thinking that the position of crown prince must belong to Prince Yu.

But no one expected that his father would pass the throne to him before his death. He thought it was a balancing act by his father, asking him to protect the throne before Ah Xiao returned to the court.

But my father said that although Ah Xiao was a good general, to be an emperor, it was not enough to have the ability to command the army, he also had to be able to wield the power of an emperor.

Axiao places too much emphasis on feelings and tends to act impulsively, so he cannot become emperor.

He originally thought that his father was exaggerating the facts, until Xiao knelt in front of the imperial study for a day and a night in order to marry Meng Yunshang, and was willing to give up commanding an army of 800,000 for this.

He finally believed it.

Over the years, the two brothers have discussed everything together and worked side by side to manage Dayuan in an orderly manner.

But now that the matter concerns Meng Yunshang, the brother who has always been calm and self-controlled has begun to lose his composure.

However, if what Ah Xiao said was true, then Aunt Shunan had overstepped the line and he must punish her severely according to the law.

"I just want to know if you can help my sister-in-law. If not, I will find a way myself."

In short, there is no reason why he can be safe and sound without anyone bullying him.

Emperor Yuan Qing asked him helplessly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Grant a marriage between Zuo Zhaoyang and Wen Liuli, and cut off Shunan's possibility of using Zuo Zhaoyang's marriage to win over the aristocratic family."

"But Wen Liuli is my mother's treasure. Are you sure she won't make trouble for me?"

"Then the Queen Mother's original idea was to stuff Wen Liuli into your harem. Are you willing to accept an unclean woman?"

"I didn't have any thoughts when she was clean. Otherwise, do you think I could remain indifferent after she has been around me for so many years?"

"That's it," Lu Chenxiao disagreed.

"If you are worried that your mother will come after you, then I will go to Kunning Palace again. I believe your mother can tell who is more important, her son or her niece."

"Okay, I will draft an edict right now: Grant Wen Liuli as Zuo Zhaoyang's legal wife, get married immediately, and cannot take concubines within three years; In addition, Princess Youran has bad conduct, so she will be demoted to County Princess, and her fief will be reduced by half; Princess Shun'an will be ordered to rectify the internal affairs of the mansion, and no flower viewing banquets will be held within five years."

"As for Prince Yu, don't alert him yet."

"Okay," Lu Chenxiao nodded. Although he felt that it was still a little lacking, he would make up for it himself.

After coming out of the imperial study, Lu Chenxiao went to Kunning Palace.

The Queen Mother was surprised and delighted to see him coming.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that the Emperor was going to grant a marriage between Wen Liuli and Zuo Zhaoyang. The Queen Mother was shocked by the news.

Lu Chenxiao didn't say much and pointed out that Wen Liuli had lost her virginity by Zhaoyang and was no longer suitable to join the royal family.

The Queen Mother was well versed in the art of keeping the harem, and she had already figured out most of it without Lu Chenxiao's detailed explanation.

She has no objection to women being scheming, and even admires those who are good at using tricks and can get away with it unscathed.

The fact that Wen Liuli was so easily tricked was obviously due to her lack of cultivation, and it was a waste of her many years of cultivation.

"For your sake, I will not bother with the Wen family this time, but if she dares to have evil thoughts towards my wife and children in the future, don't blame me for turning my back on her."

As mother and son for many years, the Queen Mother could tell that this was his ultimatum.

After a moment of silence, she said tiredly, "Okay, I understand."

Wen Liuli shouldn't treat the royal family's reputation as a joke.
