My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

The Crown Prince's wife naturally didn't know that this new sister-in-law had such a strong liking for her.

His importance actually exceeds that of the second oldest, Chu Wenxu.

I just sneezed twice in a row and thought I had a cold.

The group arrived at the main courtyard, which was brightly lit as day.

The banquet was about to begin, so I hurried to the table.

The women were all very polite, but the banquet for the men ahead was quite lively.

Several members of the royal family were pestering the second son Chu Wenxu to drink, and Anxin wanted to get him drunk today.

After all, Chu Wenxu always relies on his status to show off his power. He always says, "My father is the King of Shu."

The King of Shu is amazing!

Among the royal family members, who doesn’t have a prince in his ancestry?

If we count further back, we still have the same emperor as our ancestor.

It's just that he was lucky because his uncle was the emperor, unlike them who were not related to the emperor very closely.

Now they finally had the chance to force him to drink openly and make him look foolish. There was no need for anyone to collude with him. Once one person took the lead, several others would follow.

Of course, there are also a large number of people who devote half of their attention to eating and drinking.

After all, according to the customs of the current royal family, the enfeoffment of royal children is usually carried out by imperial decree on the day of their wedding.

One is to congratulate the newlyweds, and the other is to show that they have started a family and it is time to establish a career.

Even the King of Shu, although smiling and joking with others, his eyes kept glancing towards the gate.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. The eunuch from the palace came on horseback under everyone's attention.

He first paid his respects to the King of Shu and then congratulated him on the good news.

Then the imperial edict was read out.

Everyone present knelt down to listen to the imperial decree. After a long paragraph of flowery nonsense, the most important sentence was the last one, which conferred the title of Duke Zhenguo on Chu Wenxu, the son of the King of Shu. This was decreed.

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, everyone bowed to thank God for his grace.

Chu Wenxu could hardly conceal his disappointment, even though his father had analyzed to him before that his initial title would not be too high, probably just Duke of Zhenguo. If the emperor was in a bad mood, he might just be a General of Zhenguo.

You have to know that the emperor has never been generous in granting titles, especially when it came to the fight for the throne, which was so brutal.

Brothers are not brothers, they are enemies.

The King of Shu was able to be conferred the title of prince because of his young age. He had never participated in it at all, and he was devoted to currying favor with the emperor. In addition, the emperor had killed too many brothers in the past, so he kept a few younger brothers and treated them well, which showed that he was friendly to his brothers and was very benevolent.

The King of Shu was actually a symbol of brotherly love and respect promoted by the emperor.

Over the years, the older the emperor got, the more suspicious he became, and he was very wary of both the royal family and the imperial family.

After all, the fertility and survival rates of the royal family and the imperial clan have been good over the years.

There are not enough titles to go around!

Especially those good positions of princes and dukes, the emperor wanted to keep them for his sons or grandsons.

This illegitimate nephew really wasn't worthy of the emperor slipping the title of a prince through his fingers.

It seems that the title of Duke of Zhenguo was given because the King of Shu, his younger brother, had always been honest and obedient.

Chu Wenxu understood it in his heart, but he still held on to hope. What if the emperor was very pleased?

It was a pity at the same time. If Concubine Cheng hadn't miscarried, and Concubine Cheng had said a few good words to him and whispered something in his ear, maybe he could have obtained the title of Prince.

Now, if I don’t work hard and win the emperor’s favor, I’m afraid I will only be a Duke of Zhenguo for the rest of my life.

His own son would inherit the title at a lower level, and the highest rank he could hold would be a general defending the country.

By the time his grandchildren come to power, he will probably be a general assisting the country.

After two or three generations, they became members of the royal family without titles.

Because he was lost in thought, Chu Wenxu had been expressing his gratitude for half a day, but he didn't even kneel down to receive the order.

The King of Shu was so angry that he wanted to slap the brat twice on the spot for shouting those words.

But in front of the eunuchs, he had to endure it, with a smile on his face, gnashing his teeth and saying: "My second son is young and has never seen the world. When he heard that Your Majesty had bestowed upon him the title of Duke of Zhenguo, he was so happy that he was silly -"

As he spoke, he took off the black jade ring on his finger and handed it to the eunuch.

The eunuch was a very smooth and sophisticated person. With a flick of his finger, the black jade ring slipped into his palm. He immediately nodded with a smile: "Second Young Master, no, that's wrong. The Duke of Zhenguo is still young. Young people can understand, can understand-"

Even if this newly crowned Duke of Zhenguo went crazy right now, it was understandable considering the ring.

What's more, it was just a momentary distraction?

The Prince of Shu was behind the King of Shu and hit me, Chu Wenxu, with a crutch, finally waking him up.

Only then did he wake up as if from a dream, and he kowtowed again to thank God for his grace, and then respectfully took the imperial edict.

Handed it over to the housekeeper.

The King of Shu repeatedly ordered that the offerings be placed in the small ancestral hall.

At the same time, he invited the eunuch to stay and have a drink of wedding wine before leaving.

Even though the eunuch was somewhat tempted, he still had to go back to report to the emperor, so he could only say goodbye and leave.

Naturally, the steward of the palace escorted them out and stuffed a thick purse into each of them. Only after seeing them leave did they breathe a sigh of relief.

There was a lot of noise in the front, and everyone was congratulating Chu Wenxu on his double happiness today.

When the women at the back heard the news, they exchanged glances and began to whisper.

Before, Concubine Yu's family rose to power, and there was a Concubine Cheng in the palace, so everyone thought that Concubine Yu's family was going to rise to power as well.

Now it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of.

He is no match for the Princess of Shu at all.

Therefore, when everyone saw the Princess of Shu, their eyes were filled with awe and their tone became more affectionate.

Concubine Wang, Concubine Yu, Madam Wu and several others, accompanied some female relatives of lesser status, in the side hall.

Upon hearing this news, everyone immediately quieted down and looked at Concubine Yu at the same time.

I saw Concubine Yu's face, which was blue and purple, purple and red, red and black, and black and white, just like a soy sauce shop.

He was trembling all over, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

The energy she was holding back made the women around her hold their breath, waiting for her to speak.

I saw Concubine Yu slowly opened her mouth: "How could it be——"

Concubine Wang saw that the situation was not good. Looking at Concubine Yu's attitude, she was afraid that she would cry and ask the emperor why he only gave her son the title of Duke of Zhenguo.

She immediately covered Concubine Yu's mouth with her hand and said with a smile: "Please forgive me, Sister Yu is so happy today that she can't control her emotions. She is so excited that she almost cried! Sister Wu, please take Sister Yu outside to get some fresh air and calm down. Even if it is the Second Young Master's happy day, we can't go too far, right?"

Although Mrs. Wu likes to compete with others and fight for favor and is jealous, she is not stupid.

He knew that if Concubine Yu said something inappropriate or unpleasant at this time, or even said something that involved the current emperor, the entire Shu Palace would be doomed.

Therefore, even though he disliked Concubine Yu, he could not let her lose her composure at this moment and implicate the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

She immediately stood up with a smile and continued, "That's right. I see Sister Yu is happy and has already had several drinks. I'm afraid she's drunk! Sister Wang, please stay here and entertain the guests. I'll take Sister Yu to the back to drink some wine before we come back—"
