    The kings seize the direct descendants¡¿Chapter 1: King Chu is kind? (Free chapter

    The spring of the 22nd year of Hongguang.  In the spring of March, the warm * light urges the colorful flowers to bloom. Bees and butterflies also come one after another, shuttling among the red flowers and green leaves, like children playing hide and seek.

    A few obsessed butterflies regarded the girl's headdress as blooming flowers, chasing and playing with them, making the girl unable to drive them away, but it also made people laugh.

    Gao Di watched several maids laughing and laughing as they were chased by bees and butterflies, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Now that he was the noble Pingding Marquis, he had a lot more troubles. Emperor Hongguang was in Hongguang Er  In the eleventh year, that is, last year, the eldest son Zhu Ci was named the King of Chu, but in the past year or so, there was no news. The other princes were still princes, and there was no sign of being named king. This made him feel very confused.

    That's not all. What really worries Gao Di is his son's marriage. The eldest son Gao Qing is already twenty years old and has not yet been married. It's not that he can't marry a wife. With his status as Ping Dinghou, what kind of son does he want to marry?  He couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, but he didn't dare to marry him because Emperor Hongguang had said that he would marry the eldest princess Chunyu to his son, but the eldest princess Chunyu is also an old girl of twenty this year. Emperor Hongguang just didn't mention this matter.  Yesterday I asked my wife to go to the palace to reveal this to my eldest sister, but I don¡¯t know what the outcome will be!

    "Master, what are you thinking about here?" Mrs. Xing came over and saw Gao Di frowning, and couldn't help asking. Mrs. Xing is really old now, but she is also a pretty old lady, especially given her status.  Special, his status in Pingdinghou Mansion is very unusual.

    Although Gao Di and Xing couldn¡¯t have sex once a month, they had a very good relationship.  If Gao Di had anything on his mind, he was willing to talk to Mr. Xing and discuss it with Mr. Xing.

    Xing murmured, "I think the emperor is probably worried about this matter now! Gao Qing is the emperor's nephew. Over the years, because of Concubine Shu, everyone in the world knows that the master and the second prince are very close.  , I also hope that the second prince can inherit the throne in the future. But once the King of Chu¡¯s sister becomes the master¡¯s daughter-in-law, the relationship will become more complicated. This is what the emperor does not want to see. In addition, the emperor canonizes the eldest prince as Chu  It has been a year since the king passed away, and there is still no movement from the other princes. This shows that the emperor is very partial to the king of Chu. It is even more impossible for the emperor to marry the twin sister of the king of Chu to a person who cannot help the king of Chu. I know that sister Zhaoru has already asked the king of Chu.  Concubine Shu has spoken out, but I don¡¯t think I have much hope, so I¡¯d better arrange the marriage for Gao Qing as soon as possible! This will make it easier for the emperor to deal with it, after all, the emperor just said it casually. "

    Gao Di sighed, "Madam, you should know that I have tried my best to avoid contact with Concubine Shu and her son over the years, just for fear of the emperor being suspicious. Now I am planning the marriage for Gao Qing, for fear that the emperor will have other ideas. I will go to the palace tomorrow to personally  Mention this matter to the emperor!"

    The palace of the King of Chu is located in the east of the imperial city. The palace of Chu King Zhu Ci, the first prince of the dynasty, is here. Not far next door is the palace of Gui Wang Zhu Youlang. The two families are only separated by a street wall.

    Zhu Ci has moved out of the palace since he was crowned Queen of Chu.  Although it was an honor to be crowned King of Chu, which was enough to prove Emperor Hongguang's love for him, Zhu Ci felt uncomfortable because he could not see his parents every day.

    At the same time, because he was the king of Chu, it also caused him a lot of troubles. There were rumors that he was about to be canonized as a prince and so on.  In fact, Zhu Ci knew that his father had no plans to enthrone the crown prince yet. His father was still in his prime and would not be in a hurry when it came to establishing a heir. He also heard from his mother about his father's plan, which was not to respect the elders and the younger.  And virtue and talent are the most important.  The position of prince is not easy to sit on. Only someone who can do it has a chance to aspire to the imperial power.

    "Sir, you have to go to the palace to say hello today! The sedan chair is ready." Zhu Ci's personal eunuch Liu Xi came to Zhu Ci's side, "Sir, let's go now!"

    Zhu Ci was sitting in the sedan chair. He was young and mature. He was always praised by the courtiers for his stability, and he had the demeanor of the emperor's eldest son.  Zhu Ci was equally anxious about his sister's marriage. He understood that the reason why his father hugged his sister and was reluctant to get married was probably because of him, because he could be said to be a truly polished prince.

    The second brother Cijiong is the most prominent relative among the many princes. Not only does he have the support of Gao Di and Gao Yuanzhao in the military, he is also very supportive because of Fu Shan's relationship. Although his father has repeatedly stated strictly that the princes and court officials are not allowed to serve.  Although they form cliques, there are still a small group of people secretly looking for their own backers; Lao Sanci? Although he has no relatives like him, his mother is an imperial concubine, and his status in the harem is naturally different; Lao Sanci?  Needless to say, Si was already a prisoner at a young age, and prominent families from all over the south of the Yangtze River also had an ambiguous attitude toward the fourth; the fifth was similar to him, a bit aloof.  The other princes are not very old and have little chance of inheriting the throne despite external help.

    Zhu Ci knew that his father wanted to find someone who could benefit him for his sister.Zhu Ci's mother-in-law thinks that those are all illusory things. As long as her sister's happiness is more important than anything else, she is also a twenty-year-old old girl, so the marriage cannot be delayed any longer.

    The inner city of Nanjing was overhauled in the 15th year of Hongguang's reign. It was built in the style of the inner city of Beijing. Although the terrain did not allow Nanjing to be as upright as Beijing, the imperial city was built on the same site as the Forbidden City in Beijing. Only  There are differences in individual places.

    Zhu Cixi came to Changchun Palace. Haitang, who was holding tea, saw Zhu Cixi and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is here, and the queen just wanted to talk to you!" Haitang grew up watching Zhu Cixi, and almost  Zhu Ci treated him like his own son.

    Zhu Ci also respected the superior maid next to his mother, "Is it for you inside? I'll do it!" Zhu Ci took the tea and walked into the Changchun Palace, where he found his sister Chunyu chatting with his mother!

    Chunyu inherited the advantages of Emperor Hongguang and Liu Rushi. Not only did she have a good figure, but her appearance was also first-rate. At the age of twenty, she was like a flower with only a few petals in bloom, stunningly beautiful.

    "Brother Imperial, you don't have to come every day! You should ask your father to arrange some errands for you. Otherwise, it wouldn't be objectionable for such a dignified prince to have nothing to do all day long." Chunyu is indeed a thoughtful girl.  Think about your brother.

    Zhu Ci put down the hot tea and smiled, "Father, you have your own ideas. I am still young, so I can't afford to have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. I'm afraid it will be bad if I can't get it done."

    Liu Rushi looked at the couple and felt happy. This was her greatest pride. The only flaw was her daughter's marriage. She also told her husband, but he said he had his own arrangements. I really don't know what he was thinking.  My daughter is already twenty!

    "Ci?, your sister is right, she should let you do something. If you don't exercise, how can you do good things! No one is born a saint!" On this point, she, a mother-in-law, is convinced  Agree, if you hold your children in your arms all day long, how can your children become talents?

    While the three people were talking, Wang Bao, the eunuch in charge of the inner chamber, came in. At this time, Wang Bao was already very old. He did not dare to be careless in his work for many years, otherwise he would have been captured by Emperor Hongguang.  "Empress, prince, princess, the emperor is holding a banquet at Qianqing Palace at noon. The empress and princes from several palaces are going. I am just about to send someone to invite the King of Chu! I didn't expect the King of Chu to be here."

    The reason why Emperor Hongguang held a banquet today was because today should be regarded as his birthday. He came to this era on this day. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed. He has also grown from a young man to a man who knows his destiny.  In addition to lamenting the ruthlessness of time, I am also very pleased with my achievements. After all, so many years of hard work have not been in vain. The huge empire established is operating in an orderly manner, and there are no setbacks in domestic and foreign affairs. In the past few years, successive battles have made the financial situation worse.  The pressure is very high, but in recent years, with the increase in overseas plunder, it has not only hit the European economy, opened up large areas of colonies, but also made the national treasury more and more abundant.

    Since Emperor Hongguang married Shi Wanting and Shi Caiyun in Jiangnan, he has not chosen beautiful women to enter the palace. As for Xu Enmei and later the red lady, that was a special situation. This also won him praise from the court, even from the people.  Without the legend of the past, Emperor Toad has become a historical term and a topic of after-dinner talk among the people.

    Emperor Hongguang sat in the middle, and his concubine Bai Jing sat beside him. Emperor Hongguang had always looked highly at this woman who seemed to have a blood connection with him, even though Bai Jing was the most mediocre in appearance among his wives.  Every month, Emperor Hongguang still had to stay in her palace for a few days.

    Emperor Hongguang looked at Bai Jing, who was much older than him. Although he was born in the palace, he still couldn't hide the passing of his youth. Bai Jing was old.  Emperor Hongguang held Bai Jing's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled, "I heard you sing "The Most Romantic Thing" yesterday, and I felt very uncomfortable. People will grow old after all."

    As a woman, Bai Jing is even more afraid of the aging of her appearance. Even if she takes a milk bath every day, her skin is still smooth and soft, and she still cannot retain her youthfulness. Fortunately, she knows that women of every age have unique charms.  "No one is immortal. These two lives have been wonderful enough."

    Emperor Hongguang nodded and looked at the large family of wives and children gathered together. His mood suddenly became cheerful, "I am very happy today. You don't have to be restrained. Shuang'er, don't bully Wenting." Emperor Hongguang saw the most restless Han Shuang.  When teasing Wen Ting, she couldn't help but smile and stop her. Wen Ting was the shyest one, so she couldn't stand the chance of making her laugh!

    While Emperor Hongguang and others were eating and enjoying themselves, the eunuch Tian Rong quickly came to Emperor Hongguang and whispered a few words into Emperor Hongguang's ear, which made Emperor Hongguang's face change slightly.

    Bai Jing, who was closest to Emperor Hongguang, heard clearly that Liu Zongzhou, the imperial envoy to Zuodu of the Inspectorate and a scholar of the cabinet, had died, and Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites, was also critically ill. Both of them were veterans who had contributed a lot when Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne.  Once a person dies, he is in danger?How can we not let Emperor Hongguang change his color?

    Changed to not first person anymore!  ^_^
