Chapter 167: There is no way to retreat
Mr. Wen suddenly slapped the railing, "Sure! It's true! It's almost the same as what I guess! It's true, alas!"
Master Wen Er stood up and sat down, sat down and stood up again, turned a few more circles, sat back again, looked at Li Tong and said, "Girl, let me tell you what I think, listen to what you do."
"Okay." Li Tong moved and sat more upright to show his importance.
"Let me tell you what I know. I am good at the officialdom and the palace. I know very little. Before the eldest princess was eight years old, the first emperor personally took care of his daily life. When the first emperor was in court, he held the eldest princess more than once and accepted the bowing of all officials. In addition to the knowledgeable people in the Hanlin Academy, the eldest princess, and other court officials like Ji Laogong, Lu Xiang, and the eldest princess. Before the first princess was eight years old, she learned men's knowledge and even the way of governing the country."
Master Wen sighed and smiled bitterly, "The Emperor is also confused. The eldest princess, a woman, asked her to learn these things. Isn't this harmful to her? After all, it's a woman...ah!"
Li Tong was silent. Indeed, when she heard the eldest princess talk, she was like listening to men talking about the past and the present, and giving instructions to the country.
"When the eldest princess was eight years old, the late emperor left. When he left...ah, it was also inappropriate. If the eldest princess was young and had no sense of determination, it would be easy to correct it. If the eldest princess was a few years later, the eldest princess became a climate... who knows what would happen? You can't think about this. But when the eldest princess was eight years old, he was almost certain but had no strength, the last princess left, and Empress Dowager Zhou took over the discipline. The first thing was to correct the eldest princess' upbringing.
Everyone knows that this should be true. Queen Mother Zhou did a good job, but... For the eldest princess, the eight-year-old child is already rough and just lost her father who loves her the most. At this age, it is just when everything is against her parents. Alas! I don’t know what the fuss in the palace was like at that time. The eldest princess still refuses to marry, and she can think of this. Look, you want to get me into a good wife and mother, but I just don’t marry. What do you do to me? What do you do to me? Haha."
Master Wen Er said a cold and dry laugh, with a hint of desolation, "I have punished people with injuries, alas! I'm sorry, I can only do this. The eldest princess has never retreated for so many years, which shows that she is a determined and willing person than to bend. Such a personality..."
Mr. Wen suddenly stopped talking, his eyes narrowed little by little. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Did the eldest princess tell you about the past? It's from the palace?"
"Almost nothing, just a few words of emotion occasionally." Li Tong shook his head.
"Do you know that the fifth prince born by Queen Ning was born safely under the protection of the eldest princess?" Wen Erye's eyes shone with excitement.
Li Tong pursed her lips tightly and shook her head. She knew about this, but she didn't know about it yet.
"After Empress Ning was pregnant, her fetal appearance was extremely unstable. At that time, Mr. Ji was still alive and was seriously ill. He wrote a note saying that Empress Ning's horoscope was dark and weak. He asked the emperor to stay in Empress Ning's harem every night during Empress Ning's pregnancy to protect Empress Ning's mother and son with the power of the real dragon. At that time, the court spoke in unison, asking the emperor to protect the birth of this rare legitimate son in any case."
Mr. Wen laughed, "The emperor favors Concubine Zhou alone. Even if the emperor is willing, how can Concubine Zhou be willing? At that time, the court became a mess and the palace was a mess. It happened that a war broke out in the north, and the emperor wanted to lead the imperial army to personally fight. I think the emperor really wanted to fight in person, so as to escape the court officials' compulsory force and cry with Concubine Zhou in the harem. Later, it was Lu Xiang who came up with a compromise method to let the eldest princess live in the harem. The eldest princess is very lucky, and everyone knows that the emperor was immediately approved. The eldest princess moved into the Ning Queen's harem until the fifth prince was born and was full month old. Later, Empress Ning avoided the palace and the fifth prince is safe until now."
Mr. Wen squinted his eyes and looked at Li Tong, "Those words come out of my mouth, you hear it. If you can let the eldest princess take action, I think it is not a bad thing. Ningyuan, I look at it. The eldest princess takes action, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to take it back. If... the Ning family has the power, just rely on these two great contributions to the eldest princess... The Ning family is not a bastard like the Zhou family. In the future, the eldest princess will at least be much better than in the hands of Concubine Zhou."
Li Tong looked at Master Wen in shock, "Didn't it mean that the fifth prince is weak and can't even withstand the sound of firecrackers?"
"Hey!" Master Wen Er sneered, "It's just a legend, how can you take it seriously? If you are so weak, what will Ning Yuan do? If everyone knows that the fifth prince is healthy and smart, and his celestial figure, can he survive until now? I think!"
Mr. Wen slapped the railings, stood up, twisted a few rat whiskers, with a look of confidence and pride, "The Fifth Prince is the best candidate! The two whom Zhou Guifei gave birth to are stupid is not a big deal. If they are stupid, they are bad. If they are stupid, they are violent. If they really become throne, the court officials will definitely be sad. I can see this. There are smart people in the court. Can't they see it? As for King Jin, the incompetent, but..."
Master Wen sighed softly and shook his head constantly, "If it were the court officials who chose it, I'm afraid they would all choose the King of Jin. They were incompetent, cowardly, had no temper, no foreign family, no help, it would be... Haha." Master Wen said dryly laughed, "If he became the emperor, he would be the minister's world. This matter..."
Mr. Wen suddenly raised his hand and waved it a few times, "I don't think about it in advance. What I mean, since the eldest princess asked, if she could help her, it would be best, but you don't have to worry about the eldest princess. She is like this now, and she has been thinking about falling all day long. What can it be broken? Let me tell you, sometimes, it's not just a step back and the sky is wide, but a step forward, and then step out, that is the sky is high and the sea is wide!"
"If you step out, you may fall into a cliff!" Li Tong continued bluntly.
"Hehe!" Master Wen Er laughed dryly, "If it falls off, it will fall off. If it doesn't fall off, it will stand on the edge of the cliff, restless day and night, and will never die, but it will fall off."
Li Tong stared at Master Wen Er, not knowing what to say. This is too irresponsible!
"For example, how can a girl retreat? There is a way out, taking care of her husband and children... I heard that Qingshu, the concubine of the Jiang family, is pregnant, and it is the opportunity. The girl will go back now and take good care of her concubine. She will take 10,000 steps back if she doesn't have 10,000 steps. She will raise all her children for Jiang Huanzhang. Isn't it a family of harmony? Will the girl refuse to? Will she retreat this step?"
