The prince was silent for a moment. Prince Hao also fell into deep thought, and his tightened brows indicated that he was making a decision.
Then he was worried about another thing: "Father, although the second son didn't say it with his mouth, he actually hates this kid Qi Zhe in his heart. This kid Qi Zhe looks respectful on the face, but" The prince can't help but Admit it, in the past few months, Qi Zhe has been transformed. If things continue like this, the future will be bright. But the prince also understood that Qi Zhe hated the second child, and he couldn't do anything for the time being due to his filial piety. But what about the future, when Qi Zhe becomes powerful? Qi Zhe is by Wen Wan's side. Just because Wen Wan keeps some dignity towards Ping Xiang Xi doesn't mean that Qi Zhe will do this.
Prince Hao curled his lips, and finally said: "I plan to adopt Qi Zhe. Do you think it is more appropriate to adopt Qi Zhe to the third or fourth child?" Wen Wan would definitely complain here. Typical feudal parents don't ask whether the third and fourth children agree or not, or whether the third or fourth daughter-in-law agrees. Just make your own decision.
The prince thought for a while and then said: "Father, let's discuss it with the third and fourth brothers! If neither of them is happy, it would be a bad idea to adopt him. Especially the fourth brother, the eldest son is one year older than Qi Zhe! "If the adoption goes to the fourth room, Qi Zhe will be the eldest son. In ancient times, the eldest son was the backbone of the family. The fourth brother and the fourth younger sister must have some opinions.
Prince Hao frowned after hearing this. The fourth child is not suitable, and the third child is even less suitable. That daughter-in-law, Qi Zhe still had to suffer in the past.
Prince Hao also frowned when he saw the prince. The inheritance of the title related to the eldest brother is not a trivial matter and is not considered. No matter how much you think about it, it doesn't fit.
When Wen Wan came over to see her the next day, Qi Zhe¡¯s face was still swollen. Wen Wan's face turned dark immediately. How cruel must she be to slap her like this: "Does it still hurt?" It made her, an outsider, feel sour. But it was not his own child, and it was slapped by his father, so it was difficult for him to speak. At least not in front of so many people in the room.
Qi Zhe smiled and shook his head: "Cousin, don't worry, it won't hurt." He may have brought it somewhere while talking, and it hurt a lot. He shook his head at Wen Wan apologetically.
Wen Wan felt very sad after seeing it. She couldn't hold back the tears all of a sudden (Wen Wan's tear ducts are very developed, it's not that she wanted to cry, she just couldn't help it). They say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. This is true. Fortunately, Ping Xiangxi didn't dare to hit her with a big slap (Ping Xiangxi didn't use a big slap to serve you. That was because you took advantage of your status).
Qi Zhe cried when he saw Wen Wan. From the time he was beaten until now, several people who came to see him said a few dry and meaningless words. Only his cousin cried when she saw his red and swollen eyes, which made him so untouched. Qi Zhe suddenly stood up, hugged Wen Wan, and buried his head on Wen Wan's shoulder. No one can see his expression. But Wenwan felt Qi Zhe twitching, the child was crying.
Wen Wan also felt uncomfortable in her heart. This kid is really sad. It doesn't matter if the stepmother is not the mother, but the father is the biological father. Wenwan patted his back gently and said nothing. When Prince Hao stood at the door, he saw such a scene. I don't know what to say in my heart.
Wen Wan waited for Qi Zhe to calm down and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Your grandfather will handle it properly." Back then, she had to plan everything by herself, and she was not relying on herself. Now Qi Zhe is different. With Prince Hao coming forward, Qi Zhe can save a lot of trouble.
Qi Zhe listened very much to Wen Wan: "Okay, I will listen to my cousin."
Wen Wan met Prince Hao. Nothing more: "Grandpa, this is just a beating. What will happen next? Do you really want your second cousin to beat this child to death?" This time it was a slap, who knows what it will be next time.
Prince Hao said his plan.
Wenwan heard about the adoption. nodded. This is a good idea. He is no longer his son, so he can no longer be disciplined. This method eliminated the problem and solved Wen Wan's worries: "Grandpa, although this is your housework, I also want to ask one more question, which room will Qi Zhe adopt?"
Prince Hao didn¡¯t mind. Wen Wan is willing to intervene and expresses his respect for Qi Zhe, which is a good thing for him: "I plan to let Qi Zhe be adopted into the third room."
When Wen Wan was selected as the candidate, she had a general understanding of the situation in the backyard of Prince Hao's residence. Hearing the third house frown, he said: "Grandpa, why don't you adopt Qi Zhe to the first house? The imperial concubine has three legitimate sons, and both her legitimate sons and second sons are older than Qi Zhe. They shouldn't pose a threat to the title. And I don't think so. I believe that Qi Zhe will not have any thoughts about the title of the palace. The prince and the prince are both generous people, and they can treat Qi Zhe kindly" If it's good, it can be said, but if it's not bad, it can't be said. said.
Wenwan has never been in contact with Sanfang, but according to the news. The third lady is not a particularly generous person. Among the sisters-in-law, there are some who are more aggressive, but the fourth lady is kind-hearted and a nice person.?But the eldest son is younger than Qi Zhe, which is another big problem. Wenwan thinks a big room is most suitable. The eldest son is the prince and his wife, both of whom are generous people. Let Wen Wan not worry about Qi Zhe getting angry or anything in the future.
The prince is generous and reasonable. The Crown Princess is not a stingy person either. The only troublesome thing is the title: "Grandpa and my eldest cousin are worried that Qi Zhe will try to snatch the title when he grows up?" Regarding this, Wen Wan thinks Qi Zhe will not do it. However, she thought it would be useless. She had to make the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince think it was not possible. After all, Qi Zhe is still young now and there is no telling what the future will be. It's something that no one can trust.
Seeing Prince Hao's silence, Wen Wan also knew that this matter was very difficult: "Why don't you ask Qi Zhe for his opinion." Wen Wan is also a relatively democratic person, considering that Prince Hao didn't even inform the second master.
Prince Hao thought for a moment and nodded. Wen Wan then said, "I think it would be better for me to talk to Qi Zhe about this matter. If grandpa talks about it, Qi Zhe may be resistant." With such high regard for Chongniang and his brother, Qi Zhe may not be willing to adopt him.
Wenwan discussed this matter with Qi Zhe, but Qi Zhe refused. Wenwan analyzed the benefits of adoption to Qi Zhe one by one. After she finished, she touched Qi Zhe's forehead and said with a smile: "I think your mother and your brother will agree. Qi Zhe, if you are worried that no one will sweep up your brother in the future, "Sir, in the future you will marry and have a child and adopt a child to your brother's name, so that he can enjoy the incense of the heir."
Qi Zhe did not express his position immediately: "Cousin, let me think about it." He really didn't expect that his grandfather would want to adopt him out. If adopted, there are indeed many benefits.
Qi Zhe thought for a while and then nodded: "Okay." Rules are dead, but people are alive. Just because he is adopted does not mean that he is no longer his mother's son.
Wenwan talked to Qi Zhe again about which place would be better if she was willing to adopt him.
Prince Hao found the crown prince and told him to adopt Qi Zhe under the crown prince's name. The prince was extremely shocked: "Father, adopt my name" It's not that the prince is petty or anything, but he really hasn't thought about it. After all, it was adopted into his name. A lot of things can happen if you are not careful.
Prince Hao had this doubt at first, but after talking to Wen Wan, Qi Zhe also made his attitude clear: "I didn't really want to let Qi Zhe put it under your name. However, neither the third nor the fourth child is suitable. . It's obviously the best choice for you. As for the title, Qi Zhe told me that he would not do such a thing."
The prince said with difficulty: "Father, can you think about it again?"
Prince Hao looked at the prince's reluctant expression and said with a chuckle: "Do you know why I gave up this old face and spent a lot of money to ask Wen Wan to agree to take in a child to study with me?"
The prince shook his head. It is said that the prince really couldn't figure it out, and it was Fang Shitong who taught him. There are also two martial arts masters. These are not rare talents in the world. Their mansion can also be found, why the father tried every means to send the child to the princess' mansion.
Prince Hao's voice was very low: "I will only tell you this once. If you hear it, you will forget it. Don't say a word to anyone else."
The prince nodded reflexively after hearing this.
Prince Hao's voice became even lower: "Just think about what would happen if Ling Chang was taught by Wen Wan to be like her. Not to mention like Wen Wan, but even if she learned half of Wen Wan's skills? You don't really think that Wen Wan is teaching Ling Chang how to do business?" Prince Hao thought Wen Wan's excuse was really good for teaching people from the royal family to do business. I will take over Wen Wan¡¯s business in the future. But with gentle thoughts, it is not symmetrical.
The prince glanced at Prince Hao and was a little surprised: "What do you mean, father?" Ling Chang is the prince's legitimate second son. Speaking of which, status is also valuable. If one learns the skill of Wen Wan, who can defeat Ling Chang. The prince thought for a moment and shuddered: "Father, where is the emperor" Wen Wan had this in mind. What would happen if the emperor knew about it.
Prince Hao smiled: "Why do you think the emperor must choose a child for Wen Wan? Although Ling Chang's qualifications are not superior, he is not bad, and he has a kind temper. Over the past few years, he has been trained by Wen Wan. It¡¯s also a big change. ¡°It¡¯s not easy for children to hide things. He is also thoughtful and gentle, and his teachings are really good.
The prince now understood.
There are many clans, and their titles are not iron-clad. The reason why Prince Hao's Mansion is so prosperous now is that Prince Hao is the senior one. Secondly and most importantly, Prince Hao had a close relationship with the emperor. And he has a mediocre relationship with several princes, because he really doesn't know who will win and who will lose in the future, so he doesn't get close to them just to be on the safe side. But if he doesn't win the emperor's heart in the future, he will become an ordinary clan in a few generations. Even his generation may become invisible. This invisibility is not bad, look at Prince Zhi's Mansion has now become a cloud of smoke. If the gentle teaching is successful. Ling Chang? position. Qi Zhe, who grew up with Ling Chang, was not allowed to become the emperor's confidant. There will definitely be a title in the future. Not to mention the others.
Prince Hao saw that his son had figured it out, and then he said: "If it succeeds, Qi Zhe will definitely not take this title seriously. If it doesn't succeed, Qi Zhe will definitely be suppressed for the rest of his life. You and your wife have nothing to lose. Qi Zhe will definitely not take this title seriously." Qi Zhe will not stay in the palace for long in the future. "Not only is Qi Zhe going to the Princess Palace, Prince Hao also plans to practice Qi Zhe more.
The prince had nothing to say now and nodded in agreement.
Since Prince Hao has decided to adopt the family, it is natural that the earlier the decision is made, the better. So, as soon as this incident came out, the backyard of the palace was boiling again. The second master immediately went to find Prince Hao. He was scolded by Prince Hao. Wen Wan can be on an equal footing with Prince Hao because Wen Wan is qualified. His son eats his food and wears his clothes. How dare he be disobedient and unfilial when he is raised so big?
The second master was scolded in disgrace, even if he disagreed with Prince Hao, it would be impossible. No one can change Prince Hao's decision.
Concubine Tong Shizi also didn't understand. She looked for the prince and said angrily: "Master Tong, what is going on?" She put a legitimate son in her name and became her son. Concubine Tong Shizi is in various tangles! But I couldn't disobey my father-in-law's order, so I had to ask my husband for a clear explanation.
The prince naturally refused to tell the truth to Concubine Tong Shizi, and could only reluctantly express that it was his father's decision. Then he said with great annoyance, if he had known better, he would have sent his younger son to the princess's mansion to study. This is all caused by their lack of positive attitude.
The prince really regrets it. If he had known what was going on, he would have risked his life to send his youngest son to the princess's mansion! Although Prince Hao did not say for sure, he only said that it was possible. But when Prince Hao said this, the prince suddenly became enlightened and was very optimistic about Lingchen. Well, rather than saying that I am optimistic about Ling Yang, it is better to say that I am optimistic about Wen Wan! People who are trained by Wen Wan, a freak, have a very, very high chance of becoming a leader in the future.
Seeing the prince¡¯s attitude, the Crown Princess was dumbfounded. The Crown Princess also thought that the Crown Prince would disagree, but she didn't know that there was no rebuttal at all.
The Crown Princess also regretted it now. Qi Zhe's ability to rise with the tide also relies on gentle light. If I hadn't gone to the princess's mansion, I wouldn't have made such a mess in the backyard. Hey, it's too late to regret now. Whatever the father-in-law says is fine, it¡¯s up to you.
Prince Hao¡¯s work efficiency is very fast. Got it done in three days. Qi Zhe knelt down and kowtowed to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and received a red envelope. He called out with difficulty: "Dad, Mom."
This title also declares that Qi Zhe has no connection with the second room. At least there is no connection between etiquette and law.
Wen Wan wanted to adopt Qi Qi into the big house, but the real reason was not told to Prince Hao. After all, the second master said that he was Qi Zhe's biological father, so he was still his biological father after such an adoption. If he takes the opportunity to cause trouble in the future, it will be enough to make Qi Zhe drink a pot. The adoption was in the name of the crown prince, so at least this nominal father could stand in the way of Qi Zhe. After all, the Second Master will have to make a living under the Crown Prince and Crown Princess in the future. I have to give it three points of thin noodles.
Wen Wan looked at Qi Zhe and said, "This matter has been resolved, and you should feel at ease in the future. Life in this world cannot be smooth sailing. Just treat it as a test in life." Wen Wan didn't know that Qi Zhe had already begged Hao. Prince, let the second lady come back. The second master didn't make a fuss because he knew his wife was coming back.
But this matter has passed. The biological father is the biological father, but he has been adopted and his influence is less. As for the stepmother, she is even thousands of miles away.
