The eldest prince, the second prince, and the fifth prince were imprisoned one after another. There were three candidates who were expected to become the prince. The sixth prince naturally became the biggest winner.

After a few days of calm in the court, the officials began to bring up old matters again and once again asked the emperor to establish a prince.

At first, everyone mentioned it in a rather subtle way, not directly talking about making the sixth prince the crown prince. Later, when they saw that the emperor still had no reaction, the officials of the sixth prince's party couldn't bear it anymore, so they directly went to the media and asked the emperor to make the sixth prince a crown prince.

.

In the morning, the emperor looked at the sixth prince with a calm expression and asked directly in front of the courtiers: "Sixth, do you think you are qualified for the position of prince?"

This was a very rude question, which not only made the Sixth Prince feel nervous, but also made the courtiers feel uneasy.

The Emperor's behavior clearly shows that he is dissatisfied with the Sixth Prince!

Looking at the sixth prince who didn't know how to answer, the emperor smiled: "Go back and think about it carefully. Everyone likes good things, but without that golden diamond, don't work with porcelain."

As soon as these words came out, the officials were no longer calm. The emperor almost said directly that the sixth prince was incapable of becoming a prince.

The sixth prince also turned pale. He thought that if the elder brothers fell, the crown prince position would definitely be his. Unexpectedly, his father never thought of establishing him.

What should he do?

He and his mother-in-law have planned so much, has everything come to nothing?

After going to court, the Sixth Prince came to Changchun Palace in a panic again.

Seeing his unsteady appearance, Concubine Shu grimaced again: "Stand up for me. How do you look like you can achieve great things?"

The sixth prince turned his face and told Concubine Shu what happened in the morning: "Concubine, do you think my father has no intention of making me the crown prince?"

Concubine Shu also knitted her brows and hummed: "I have long said that planning for the crown prince's position is not easier than the throne. You didn't believe it before."

The sixth prince's expression changed: "Concubine..."

Concubine Shu said with a cold face: "The emperor is still strong, how could he release his power prematurely, and establishing a prince means decentralizing power."

"Before, you and the eldest prince fought with each other, and the emperor was happy to watch the show. Now that the eldest prince and the others have fallen, he can't help but want to suppress you as your voices get louder and louder."

The sixth prince's face turned pale: "What should we do?"

Concubine Shu glanced at the Sixth Prince and said nothing. After a while, she said: "Okay, it's time for you to leave the palace. Do what you did before and do what you do now. Don't worry about other things."

The Sixth Prince moved his lips, wanting to ask Concubine Shu if she wanted to do something, but he still chose to swallow the words.

Looking at the sixth prince leaving, Concubine Shu shook her head in disappointment, thinking of the third prince again.

If the eldest son was here, why would she worry about everything?

......

The Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Looking at the eldest son who was a little restless, the fourth prince looked a little dissatisfied: "A manly man, even if the mountain collapses before his eyes, he still has an expression on his face. Look at what you look like now. How can you have the bearing to make a big deal?"

Xiao Moreng quickly stood up and admitted his mistake: "Father, the child is not calm anymore."

The fourth prince snorted: "Father, I know what you think, but don't forget that even if your grandpa doesn't establish the sixth son, you still have several uncles."

Xiao Mozhen frowned and looked at the fourth prince who hesitated to speak.

The fourth prince said softly: "Don't think too much. If you think too much, your mind will be confused. Once your mind is confused, it is easy to do the wrong thing. At this moment, you only need to do the things at hand well.

, as for other things, you can’t control them, and the same goes for being a father.”

Xiao Moreng was a little discouraged. Yes, the Fourth Prince's Mansion really didn't have the strength to compete for the crown prince's position.

Seeing that the eldest son seemed a little shocked, the fourth prince thought for a while and said: "Everything our family, as well as your uncle and the others, have is given by your grandpa. Sometimes external forces are not very important. You

Do you understand?"

Xiao Mozhen looked at the fourth prince with half-understanding.

The fourth prince did not say more. The eldest son was still too immature. Talking too much would be counterproductive: "Think more about why your grandpa loves the three brothers and sisters Mo Xi so much."

The light in Xiao Mo's eyes became bright again, and he seemed to understand what his father meant.

When he entered the palace again, Xiao Moreng followed Dao Zi to pay respects to the emperor as usual. Apart from showing his filial piety, he did not show much else and did not even stay in Qianqing Palace for a long time.

This is in sharp contrast to Xiao Mokuan, who always stayed and played with the twins for a while.

The emperor noticed the behavior of the two of them. When Xiao Moreng came to greet him again, he asked: "Why don't you stay in Qianqing Palace more often like Mo Kuan?"

Xiao Moreng replied shyly: "Grandpa Huang, the things taught by Master during this period are a bit obscure. My grandson must spend more time studying them."

The emperor nodded: "It is a good thing to understand the book thoroughly. What people fear most is to be half-filled with water."

Xiao Mozhen smiled and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson will work hard."

The emperor said 'hmm', and then personally asked Xiao Moreng the problems he encountered. After answering them one by one, he also asked him some other lessons.

Seeing that Xiao Mozhen had his own opinions on things, the emperor showed satisfaction and talked to Xiao Mozhen for a long time before letting him leave.

The emperor's attitude made Xiao Moreng very excited, but he soon calmed down and left the palace calmly.

......

The emperor had denied the ability of the six princes in public early in the morning. The officials did not dare to confront the emperor, but the matter of establishing a prince could not be shelved directly. Therefore, officials began to go to Zhezi to request the emperor to confer other princes as princes.

This made Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince anxious.

The Sixth Prince: "Concubine, what should I do? If my father appoints someone else as the crown prince, wouldn't everything we have done before be in vain?"

Concubine Shu looked coldly at the sixth prince who only asked her what to do when something happened. She felt angry and helpless. She thought for a while and did not answer. Instead, she asked: "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Xiao Yeyang hasn't determined when he will return."

Xiliang?"

The Sixth Prince shook his head: "No."

Concubine Shu asked again: "I asked you to keep an eye on him, have you found out what he was doing during this time?"

The Sixth Prince: "He didn't do anything. He just often accompanied Yan Yi back to Yan's house. Whenever he had something to do, he would get together with Yan Wentao to drink tea and chat."

As he said that, he looked at Concubine Shu puzzledly.

"Mother, why are you paying so much attention to Xiao Yeyang?"

Concubine Shu snorted coldly: "Because he holds more than 200,000 border troops, and I don't want to confront him unless it is absolutely necessary."

The sixth prince's heart trembled, and he asked with a pale face: "Concubine, what do you want to do?"

Concubine Shu didn't answer, she looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace and didn't know what she was thinking.

......

"Brother, come on, there is a dog hole here. Let's hide in it and see when others can find us."

The twins came to the south study room to look for Daozi, but unfortunately, Daozi was still in class and no one was there.

Seeing a dog hole under the corner next to it, Dao Mang suddenly wanted to play hide-and-seek, so he pulled Dao Miao and got in.

After getting into the hole, Dao Mang and Dao Miao propped up their two little heads and watched the palace maids and eunuchs looking for them everywhere, covering their mouths and snickering.

After a while, seeing the palace maid and eunuch running away, Ina Miao asked: "Should we go out? They will be punished if they can't find us."

Daomang nodded: "Okay, let's go out."

Just as the twins were about to go out, they saw Xiao Mokuan walking out of the south study door and walking straight towards them.

The twins were startled, thinking that Xiao Mokuan knew they were hiding here, and they quickly retracted after crawling out.

Just when the twins were waiting for Xiao Mokuan to catch them with their eyes wide open, who knew that Xiao Mokuan walked past the dog hole and then sneaked into the yard where they were hiding.

Dao Mang and Dao Miao looked at each other and carefully hid in the shade of the tree beside the cave entrance.

"It feels like Sixth Brother is going to do something bad!" Dao Mang was a little excited.

Daomiao quickly covered her mouth: "Keep your voice down, if we are discovered, we won't be able to see Brother Six doing bad things."

This is their first time watching someone else do bad things, so they can’t miss it!

Not long after, a palace maid quickly walked into the courtyard and gave Xiao Mokuan two exquisite sachets.

"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and sachets will be distributed in the palace today. Princess Chun'an and Prince Mo Yan like to wear these items. My Majesty asked you to replace their sachets with these two. Remember, no one can find them.

”

"What is this?"

The palace maid didn't answer and quickly turned around and left.

Xiao Mokuan looked at the sachet in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then carefully put it away, and then strode out of the yard.

Beside the dog hole, Dao Mang and Dao Miao looked at each other in confusion.

"Brother Six wants to exchange our sachets. Is he trying to harm us?" Daomiao said with a frown.

Thanks to the stories Daohua told, the two little guys were just like his brother and had a sense of crisis since childhood.

Daomang snorted angrily: "Let's go, tell Grandpa Huang to go."
