Chapter 31 "The emperor is heartless and has no children, and the concubines are causing troubl
Chu Zan looked at Chu Huanwei, the six-year-old boy in front of him, and said with a smile: "I heard that you could write with ink at the age of two, and draw well at the age of three. Now you can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics?"
Chu Huanwei looked at the heroic and majestic emperor in front of him and hid timidly behind Chu Chenmu, not daring to answer.
Chu Chenmu quickly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Quanzi can indeed write at the age of two and draw at the age of three. Now at the age of six, he is not only proficient in the four books and five classics, but also proficient in arithmetic in nine chapters."
Chu Zan nodded and said, "Xiangdi's child prodigy is indeed worthy of his reputation."
However, he saw that Chu Huanwei's cowardly appearance did not have the slightest bearing of a king.
From the moment Chu Huanwei followed Chu Chenmu into the main hall, he was very timid and seemed to be afraid of his county father Chu Chenmu.
It is normal for a son to be afraid of his father.
But I'm afraid that this is the case, something doesn't seem right.
Besides, Chu Zan didn’t have a prince before because he was not interested in women and had never slept with a woman. But now that he has Yu Jinshu, this kind of seed has a place to sow. Maybe his children will also have it in a while. .
Now that we have this opportunity, the adopted heirs don't have to worry too much.
Chu Chenmu was waiting for the emperor to mention the adoption, but the emperor hesitated and asked about the floods in Xiangdi and the suffering of the people, which made him impatient.
At noon, someone came from the Queen Mother and invited Chu Chenmu and his son to attend a palace banquet in Cining Palace.
This palace banquet was specially prepared by the Queen Mother for Chu Huaiwei.
Speaking of which, Chu Huaiwei and the Queen Mother are related by blood.
Chu Huaiwei's mother was the daughter of the Queen Mother's eldest brother.
The Queen Mother had previously strongly advocated the adoption of Chu Huaiwei into the name of the Emperor.
Now that the emperor has a queen, the queen must take care of this matter with all her strength.
The Queen Mother is in a good mood today. In addition to the Queen and Concubine An, she also keeps twelve concubines.
When Chu Chenmu arrived at Cining Palace, paid homage to the Queen Mother and Empress, and saw the emperor's concubines, he could hardly move his eyes away.
Especially the woman sitting at the bottom, there is such a beautiful person in this world.
Her eyebrows are affectionate, her skin is as delicate as warm jade, her facial features are exquisite and perfect, especially her eyes that seem to be able to speak.
Beautiful like this, she looks like a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.
But judging from her dress and the position she sits in, she should be the one with the lowest status.
Recently, there are rumors that the emperor, who has always been silent, has a concubine that he loves, and for this concubine, he did not hesitate to drive all the three thousand beauties in the palace out of the palace.
Could it be that this is the person you are talking about?
Chu Chenmu looked at Yu Jinshu in a daze.
Wei Ruyan's face became angry, and she suppressed her temper and asked Chu Huanwei with a smile.
Chu Chenmu woke up after listening to Wei Ruyan's voice. Feeling that he had lost his composure, he quickly took his son and sat down in his place.
He and his son's seats happened to be next to Yu Jinshu, which also made him excited.
Chu Zan will now walk into the main hall. He will sit on the main seat. On both sides of the main seat are the Queen Mother and the Queen.
He looked down at his head, and Yu Jinshu smiled softly at him, making his heart melt.
How he wished that the person sitting on the right side of the main seat was his brocade book.
When Yu Jinshu saw that Chu Zan was still not sitting down, he signaled with his eyes. Then he walked to the main seat and sat between the Queen Mother and the Empress.
"Prince Xiang, how kind is Huan Wei's mother?" The Queen Mother asked Chu Chenmu with a smile.
Chu Chenmu quickly stood up and replied: "To tell you the Queen Mother, Huan Wei's mother is very good."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and looked at Chu Huanwei, her eyes full of love and pity. She said to Chu Zan: "Your Majesty, how do you think this child Huan Wei is?"
This means that the emperor wants Huan Wei to be adopted as the prince in his name.
Chu Zan smiled and said: "Huan Wei is very talented and will be a literary talent in the future."
Literary talent?
These words fell into Chu Chenmu's ears, and his face became unhappy.
If he really wants his son to be a prince and an emperor in the future, he must not only be talented in literature but also have military talents.
I don’t know what the emperor meant by saying this?
Today Chu Chenmu and his son entered the palace, but it was the Queen Mother's fault.
The Queen Mother looked at Chu Zan with a smile: "Your Majesty, since Huan Wei has such talent, why not..."
Before the Queen Mother could finish what she said, Chu Zan took over: "It's better to let Huan Wei play in the palace for a while, and also make the palace lively and lively."
Before the Queen Mother could react, she thought that the Emperor had not thought of this, so she added: "I mean Huan Weiguo..."
The Emperor didn't wait for the Queen Mother to finish her words, then smiled at the Queen Mother who blocked her words: "Your Majesty, I understand that the Queen Mother is lonely, and will let Huan Wei live in Cining Palace for a while."
The Queen Mother was not stupid either. She now understood that the Emperor did not want Huan Wei to be adopted as a prince in his name.
Yu Jinshu was originally worried that Chu Zan would adopt Chu Huanwei as the prince in his name, but looking at the interaction between Chu Zan and the Queen Mother, it was obvious that Chu Zan had no such plan.
She also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, she noticed that Chu Chenmu's face was very ugly, and there was a faint murderous look in his eyes.
Also, Chu Chenmu seemed to have eye contact with the queen.
This feeling was as if Chu Chenmu and Queen Wei Ruyan knew each other very well and had a close relationship.
The delicacies from the imperial dining room were served one by one, and the atmosphere in the palace became slightly more relaxed.
After the palace banquet, the palace maids brought fruit snacks, and the palace musicians and dancers also came on stage.
While the music was playing, the Queen Mother said to Chu Zan next to her: "Your Majesty, aren't we going to adopt Huan Wei into your name today?"
Chu Zan said: "Queen Mother, before you and the ministers said that you wanted to adopt Huan Wei into my name, and I had no objection. But now that I have a concubine, I want to wait a little longer for my concubine to be settled. Pregnant."
The Queen Mother said: "It's not that I haven't thought about this, and I'm not saying that I want to establish Huai Wei as the prince. I just heard that if a child is adopted, it will bring blessings to his descendants, which may mean peace." The concubine will give birth to a prince soon."
Chu Zan's eyes were on Chu Chenmu. His brocade book had previously reminded him to be careful about Chu Chenmu. This time he finally understood.
Chu Chenmu was so brave that he actually coveted his Jin Shu. Not only did he look at Jin Shu frequently, but he also talked to Jin Shu.
It wasn't that Chu Zan was jealous and didn't allow his Jin Shu to talk to the man, but that Chu Chenmu's behavior was really not normal.
In the next position, Yu Jinshu took advantage of Chu Chenmu's opportunity to talk to her, teased Chu Huanwei, and even gave Chu Huanwei a very novel pendant.
This pendant is made of gilt copper inlaid with precious stones, with a vivid horse engraved on it.
Chu Huanwei liked horses very much, but he was weak and his mother was worried that he would be unable to hold the rope and fall off, so she never let him ride.
This pendant is so pretty too.
Chu Chenmu didn't expect that Beauty would actually give his son a gift. Although it was not a priceless treasure, he was very pleased with Beauty's thoughts.
"Wei'er, hurry up and thank Concubine An!"
Chu Huanwei quickly stood up and saluted Yu Jinshu: "Huanwei, thank you, Concubine An!"
Chu Chenmu's eyes seemed to be frozen. Seeing Yu Jinshu's curved lips and smile, he couldn't move his eyes away at all.
Wei Ruyan, who was sitting in the main seat, had anger hidden on his face.
Yu Jinshu saw Chu Huanwei hanging the pendant around her neck like a treasure, and she was very happy.
This pendant is no ordinary pendant.
This pendant contains a modern item she bought in the system, a listening device.
