[R18] (Quickly wear it) Baby, you are with the wrong person – Chapter 677 of “(Quickly Wear) Baby You Are with the Wrong Person” [English]

☆. The princess married until she was 30

The season quickly slipped to December, and Emperor Yuan Guang’s longevity was approaching.

Unlike the late Emperor, Emperor Yuan Guang always liked extravagance.In order to celebrate his longevity, every year the palace would put on a huge pageant. Not only would there be a three-day banquet, but there would also be a lantern show organized by the government in the capital, which was not much better than the New Year’s pageant.

However, due to the tense atmosphere in the court this year, although the Ministry of Rites continued to prepare birthday banquets, both the front court and the harem were filled with an indescribable sense of solemnity.

The reason was naturally party strife. As the official family launched an attack on their relatives, the struggle began immediately, and it fell into complete chaos after the nobles also joined the war.

The struggle for the legitimate son that was hidden under the undercurrent slowly surfaced. Even the idle people in the capital knew that the struggle between the parties was to compete for the legitimate son.

Emperor Yuan Guang is already forty-six years old, and his health has always been poor. Although he is well-fed and well-fed, who knows how long he will survive.

Suddenly, the eldest brother, who had been ignored by the third and sixth princes, became the biggest thorn in their side. Shu Zhan was still sitting on the throne of the prince. If something unexpected happened to Emperor Yuan Guang, wouldn’t their long-standing fight become a joke?It’s just that the prince was too unbearable. On Zhenri, he led a group of eunuchs from the royal forest to cause mischief in the imperial city, and even caused a big mess by bringing the foreign man into the harem.

When something like this happened, even though he had been indulging the prince, Emperor Yuan Guang couldn’t help but get angry.He once again expressed his determination to depose the prince in the political hall: “If the prince is like this, how can I close my eyes in a hundred years?”

Although the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall was the uncle of the prince, he could not say anything to make the emperor endure. Kong Zheng could only use the reasons of Zizong’s etiquette to persuade him, but Emperor Yuanguang was resolute: “Kong Qing does not need to persuade you any more. Sanlang and Liulang have grown up. Either they will be the direct descendants or the elders. I have made up my mind!”

As soon as this statement came out, the two parties, the foreign relatives and the nobles, who had deep grievances, completely tore their faces. The two parties had originally united to deal with the official family, but now they once again pointed their fingers at each other, even leading to a shocking case.

When the news reached the East Palace, Yao Ji was chatting with Shu Zhan.

The girl’s spring-like jade fingers peeled off the thin skin of the grapes, picked up the green fruit on her fingertips, and handed it to Shu Zhan.

“Ah~” Someone leaned lazily on the couch and opened his thin lips, “Feed me~”

“You’re too lazy.” Yao Ji glared at him and stuffed the grapes into his mouth. What passed over her fingertips was the wetness of her tongue. She blushed and took out her fingers to pretend to be calm. “You are too good to take risks. Even if you want to taint yourself, there is no need to cause such a big mess. If the emperor wants to depose you on the spot, wouldn’t it be irreversible?”

“If you destroy me, you will have to choose a new prince.” Shu Zhan swallowed the grapes that his wife peeled for him and savored the soft taste. “Daddy will never come out now. ”

Originally, the emperor always preferred the third prince, but the third prince was too incompetent.The sixth prince is a direct descendant, and he is smart and studious, but he is a bit young.Therefore, the emperor has not been able to successfully depose Shu Zhan for so many years. In addition to the ancestral etiquette used by the courtiers to object, he could not find a suitable successor, which was another important reason.

“Although my father prefers the Li family, the emperor’s will has never been lost.”

Otherwise, when Emperor Yuan Guang wanted to leave Concubine De as his queen, the courtiers firmly opposed it, so wouldn’t he have compromised?In that man’s heart, whether he is his son or his beloved concubine, what he loves most most is himself.

This selfishness gave Shu Zhan the opportunity to keep his position as prince.He knew that Emperor Yuan Guang would not depose him regardless, and Emperor Yuan Guang would not make any decision that would shake the throne easily.

But if he doesn’t do it, it doesn’t mean that others won’t do it. What he has to do is just stand by and watch.

Yao Ji still remembers asking Shu Zhan why he pretended to be stupid, and Shu Zhan’s answer was only five words: “To survive.”

It’s not about keeping power or position, it’s not about hiding one’s capabilities and biding time, it’s just about surviving.

He was twelve years old when he became “silly”.

That year, the queen gave birth to a prince in Kunfu Palace, who was the sixth prince.The queen who has a son is completely different from her previous reclusive attitude of not interfering in the harem fights. Now that she has entered this harem and has a son, no woman does not want her own flesh and blood to sit in that seat and become the supreme being.

“Concubine De is eyeing me. From the day I was established as the crown prince, she has been trying to get rid of me.”

For this reason, Shu Zhan suffered countless open and secret attacks, and was even almost poisoned to death by a glass of poisonous wine.A crazy concubine made it so difficult for him. If the queen was added to the family, he would have no way to survive.

He knew that he was the biggest thorn in the side of those two women.The daughter of Empress Yuan, whose mother’s family was powerful, was highly regarded by the late emperor, and was a legitimate crown prince.Whether it’s a concubine or a queen, if you want your son to become a master, the first thing you have to deal with is he.

“But what if this thorn in the side becomes a stumbling block that can be kicked away at any time?”

Yao Ji was so smart that she immediately understood what Shu Zhan meant: “Then… the alliance that the enemies have temporarily cooperated with will fall apart in the blink of an eye.”

Before entering the palace, Yao Ji once thought that becoming a fool might be an opportunity for Shu Zhan at that time, an opportunity for him to survive.

At that time, the newly born sixth prince had no chance of seizing the throne. If Concubine De was really allowed to get rid of the prince, wouldn’t it be logical for the third prince to become the crown prince?So the queen took action, stopped Concubine De’s plot, and even made the nobles oppose the emperor’s dethronement of the prince, and saved Shu Zhan.

A fool is easier to deal with than the third prince who is loved by the emperor.

This guarantee lasted for seven years. Shu Zhan survived the game between the two palaces and grew up smoothly.At this time, the sixth prince was already nine years old. Under the careful upbringing of the queen, he had shown extraordinary performance since childhood. He was not only liked by the emperor, but also very popular among the courtiers.

In contrast to the mischievous third prince, Concubine De suddenly discovered that facing Kunfu Palace, her own advantage did not seem to be that great.At this moment, she is the one who wants to temporarily protect Shu Zhan, so she and the Queen Mother will show goodwill to Yao Ji when Yao Ji enters the palace, but they just want to fight between Fudong Palace and Kunfu Palace.

This fragile balance, which had been maintained until now, was finally broken.

A censor impeached Helin Marquis Li Xiangxian and his son at court, revealing that the Li family and his son had embezzled river engineering funds, which caused the Yuan River to burst its banks last year, triggering a major case of refugee riots in four southeastern states.

This case involves too many things. Starting from Marquis Helin, no matter whether they are relatives or members of the official family, there are officials involved in it, making it difficult to escape.Because the secret case was so serious, even the emperor couldn’t protect the Li family at this point.

The Li family and his son were arrested and imprisoned. On the eighth day of December of this year, nine days before the Longevity Festival, the verdict was announced.The chief culprit, Li Xiangxian, was executed, and one of Li Xiangxian’s two sons was sentenced to exile and the other to death with a cane. Because the Li family’s title came from the Queen Mother, they would not be deprived of it and were inherited by Li Xiangxian’s younger brother.

This verdict is undoubtedly the result of a more liberal approach, otherwise Li Xiangxian’s two sons would not have survived.But for Concubine De, this incident was like a bolt from the blue.Li Xiang was her biological father first. His father was beheaded and the futures of his two brothers were ruined. Although the title still remained in the Li family, it fell on his uncle. What does it have to do with her?

In panic, she asked the Queen Mother for help, but the Queen Mother said: “The basket that Erlang poked was too big. As the eldest sister, I have long advised him not to be greedy. Don’t be greedy. Look, something will happen now.”

With those light words, Concubine De suddenly realized the truth – the new Marquis of Helin was also the biological brother of the Queen Mother.

“Jiang’er,” she had to summon her son late at night, “that’s your grandpa. Your grandma is unreliable. Only you can save grandpa.”

Looking at his mother whose face was full of tears, Shu Jiang also had a bitter look on his face: “Mom, I didn’t go to plead with my grandfather, but my father refused to see me at all. He even told people to spread the word, saying that I should learn from my sixth brother and concentrate on studying and not cause trouble in Japan.”

“Auntie,” he lowered his eyes and raised his head again, “I heard…Auntie hasn’t been to Yongning Palace for more than a month. Kunfu Palace is very lively. We, mother and son…”

“We, mother and son,” Concubine De suddenly laughed miserably, “… we, mother and son, are finished.”

“Aunt…”

“If we just sit there and wait, we’re really screwed.”
