Chapter 1198 One Hundred Ninety Seven · Indisputable
Originally, Xiao Heng planned to leave after saying these words. After all, although Concubine Pang Gui was said to be the concubine of Emperor Yuanfeng and also the grandmother of Xiao Heng, she was not very close, but just as he was about to leave, the fifth prince came.
The relationship between the fifth prince and Xiao Heng is very good. Now that Xiao Heng is back, he is even more delighted. He went straight up and punched Xiao Heng: "You boy! I'm back at last, but I'll take you back. Fifth Uncle is worried!"
Xiao Heng was a little helpless.
He was about the same age as the fifth prince, but the fifth prince always took advantage of him by pretending to be an elder because of his seniority.
The matter of the fifth uncle and nephew is difficult to pass, and it has to be mentioned every once in a while.
But he was also happy to see the fifth prince, so he smiled and called the fifth uncle.
The shouting was very happy this time, and the fifth prince was also very happy. He felt that he had finally passed the addiction of his elders and pressed Xiao Heng on his head. With no eyes on swords and guns, this person likes to rush in front of himself."
The two of them could really chat together, and Concubine Pang Gui looked at it with emotion.
While feeling a little relieved, at the same time a little disappointed.
She has always taught her son to have a straight mind and must be a decent person. Now it seems that the fifth prince is really pure in mind, and he really has no thoughts about Xiao Xiang's throne.
When Xiao Heng was gone, seeing that the fifth prince was still talking about Xiao Heng, Concubine Pang Gui suddenly asked him, "Son, are you not sad at all?"
She knew that this should never be asked. She was able to restrain herself in the past, how much more so now?
What is the situation now? It was Xiao Heng who returned from a victory in Yunnan, who now has the full advantage, and Emperor Yuanfeng who had already acquiesced in Xiao Heng's status as the crown prince.
There was no dispute in the past, and now it's no good to talk about it.
If it provokes the fifth prince's mind, it would be even more of a loss than the gain. After all, does the Pang family really have to bet everything to bet on a possibility that is unlikely to succeed?
Concubine Pang Gui felt a little regretful, but at the same time she was secretly vigilant that she would have such a gaffe!
It was the fifth prince, who gave Pang Guifei a strange look: "What are you sad about?"
Concubine Pang hurriedly shook her head: "Nothing, just ask."
The fifth prince laughed: "The concubine doesn't say that the son also knows, you want to ask, looking at Ah Heng is so beautiful now, the day when he went to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors, probably all the ministers knew that he would be the new king in the future. Do you really not mind?"|
Concubine Pang Gui originally wanted to be vague, but seeing the Fifth Prince speak so frankly, she couldn't help but look at her son and hummed: "You're serious, aren't you unwilling at all?"
The fifth prince sat opposite Concubine Pang Gui, reached out and took an orange from the round table and weighed it in his hand, lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I am not unwilling, because the concubine taught me from a young age that things that do not belong to me cannot be Yes. This position of grandson belongs to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is rehabilitated. Even if Ah Heng is not so outstanding, he is also a righteous grandson, so there is nothing to be unwilling to do. If the fourth brother takes that seat, The son may really not be reconciled and want to grab it, after all, whether the fourth emperor brother is born or has merit, there is nothing worthy of convincing."
Now that the words have been said, the fifth prince is also very direct: "Mother concubine, I can guess what you are thinking now, not only you, but also your grandfather and uncle, I can guess what they are thinking now. I feel that if it is me who has this honor today, you will naturally follow along. But it is too late, mother and concubine. Unless my uncle intends to be a minister and bet the whole family of the Pang family to **** me, but is it necessary? Moreover, my son is really not that piece of material, and I have no confidence that I can do better or better than Ah Heng. In this case, feel at ease, the royal father will naturally plan for me, and Ah Heng knows it well, this is the safest way of."
Concubine Pang Gui was a little shocked.
In her heart, the fifth prince has always been an obedient child who lacked opinions.
But it wasn't. It turned out that he knew everything in his heart, and he could even see it so clearly.
And able to analyze the gains and losses so rationally.
Everyone understands the truth, but there are really few people who can do it, but the Fifth Prince can.
Concubine Pang Gui felt a sense of regret.
She is too steadfast, long before Xiao Heng appeared, she should not have been avoiding, should not have been asking the Fifth Prince to hide his clumsiness, if...
However, she also knew very well in her heart that the fifth prince was right, without ifs, everything would be too late.
She restrained the regret in her heart, took a deep breath and laughed: "Yes, you see it better than Concubine Mu. If you can have this understanding, Concubine Mu is already content."
The fifth prince chuckled lightly: "By the way, the mother-in-law can also show me the candidates, I don't want to marry an unsatisfactory prince and concubine. "
Concubine Pang Gui replied heavily: "Don't worry, Concubine Mu always wants to help you choose the one you like."
In the evening, when Emperor Yuanfeng came over, Concubine Pang Gui couldn't help but mention the matter of choosing a concubine.
Emperor Yuanfeng was a little surprised: "Didn't you always say you're not in a hurry before?"
Concubine Pang Gui chuckled: "I wasn't in a hurry before because I really wasn't in a hurry, but now, Ah Heng is back, so why don't you pick a concubine for him? In that case, what is Xiao Wu doing? Uncle's, if we don't get married, wouldn't we have to stand in front of Ah Heng? How does this make it happen?"
In fact, when Xiao Heng left, the Ministry of Rites had already started to select candidates for these princes of the right age, but Emperor Yuanfeng never mentioned them again, so the candidates they gave were naturally shelved.
Now that Concubine Pang Gui mentioned it, Emperor Yuanfeng patted her on the back of the hand: "Okay, then choose carefully, choose a good girl for Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu is a good boy, don't let your daughter-in-law bully her."
Concubine Pang just pursed her lips and smiled.
asked again: "Why don't you choose for Ah Heng by the way?"
Emperor Yuanfeng also smiled: "That's not necessary, I have a candidate in mind, just pick Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi."
Sure enough, Concubine Pang Gui had something in her heart and agreed.
By this time, Su Rong had also returned home.
It was already late at night, and there was always a servant waiting in front of the uncle's house. When he saw the horse coming, he hurried in to report the letter.
Li Rui soon brought someone out to greet him, and hurriedly saluted Su Rong.
Su Rong smiled. Now that he came home again, seeing that everyone in the family was very kind, he immediately asked Li Rui to get up.
