His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 9 The Way She's Going

Chen Yanzhi understood what the eldest son meant, he didn't say anything, stroked his beard and looked at the other sons,
"Second, old, third, and fourth, how many of you are there? What do you think?"

Of course, Chen Bianlin and the others had the same meaning as their eldest brother.

This is the only younger sister, and she was not raised by her mother, she was born by a mother's womb, and she was watched and raised since childhood, so they can still hope that she is not good?
Chen Yanzhi's eyes finally showed some relief.

As an older brother, he only thinks about his younger sister, instead of being like other family members. He wished that the younger sister who flew up to the branch would quickly help them become officials and nobles.

"good!"

"Brothers and sisters, you should unite as one, support each other, and be indomitable despite the difficulties and obstacles ahead!"

Chen Fulin, who has never spoken, was moved by her mother just now, and was broken by his father and brothers in an instant.

"Father, brother, thank you..."

Seeing that those eyes were about to turn red again, her third brother Chen Guilin hurriedly joked:
"Hey, we don't want to lose the Golden Doudou! Some people said that blood, sweat and tears are not shed! That's the way of little girls, not our little heroine Chen Fulin!"

Before Chen Fulin could vent his emotion, she was interrupted by her third brother.

"Pfft!"

"Hahahahaha, third child, be careful that Fulin will deal with you when the time comes!"

"Cut! I'm afraid of her? I just let her!"

"..."

After the brothers and sisters had had enough trouble, Chen Yanzhi coughed lightly twice, and changed the topic back.
"Flynn, tell me, what do you think?"

The brothers and sisters restrained their expressions, corrected their attitudes, and answered Chen Yanzhi's question.

"Father, what my grandmother said before, let Fulin restrain his sharpness after entering the East Palace, and take it slowly to wait for the future. I think you agree with it?"

Chen Yanzhi did not evade, but gave her an affirmative answer,

"Exactly, our Chen family's foundation is still shallow, but the people in the East Palace and the Harem Palace are all rich and leafy families. Anyone who is more powerful can uproot my Chen family from the upper capital. ..."

Chen Fulin shook her head, if she hadn't experienced it once, she would think so too.

"But Dad, have you ever thought about why this draft is happening? Also, why is it that our family is just a small residence of the Ministry of Justice, but the Queen Mother appointed me as Prince Liangdi?"

Seeing that her father's expression froze, Chen Fulin quickly added, "Of course, father, I don't mean to look down on you, you are still the person I admire the most!"

Although the fifth-rank official is really nothing in Shangjing.

Chen Yanzhi glared at his daughter, "Slippery!"

"Eastern Palace has not produced anything for many years, and the princes are eyeing the crown prince. The foundation of the country is unstable. This draft is naturally for the East Palace to extend its descendants and stabilize the court."

Chen Fulin nodded, that's about the same, that's right, from the perspective of their courtiers, what they really think about is the stability of the country.

But as far as the concubines in the East Palace and the Harem, and the families behind the concubines, this draft is just to choose a "belly" for them.

This is something Chen Fulin only wanted to understand after his death.

She thought that it was her and the child that the Crown Princess and the others wanted to harm, but later she discovered that, apart from the Crown Princess who had shot at her before she became pregnant, she was faintly protected by the other party after she became pregnant.

What this means is self-evident, their royal family——want to have a child through their womb.

As long as she dies, the child will be carried under the name of the Crown Princess, and the East Palace will have a son, it will be a win-win situation for both the Crown Princess and the East Palace.

The courtiers were also appeased, and the unlucky ones in the end were only her, who was lucky at first, but only got a sympathetic sigh from others, and their Chen family.

Her second brother, Chen Bianlin, said: "It is not necessarily the Queen Mother's will that Fulin becomes the Crown Prince Liang Di. This time, the Li family also has two daughters from the direct branch, one of whom is also the Crown Prince Liang Di."

Chen Fulin was a little curious: "It's... Li Yuaner?"

Seeing her second elder brother nodding, Chen Fulin gave a smack. It really is someone in the court who is easy to handle!
Li Yuan'er was obviously sent out of the palace together with County Mistress Fanyi, but in the end she got married to the Crown Prince Liangdi. This clearly shows that she went through the back door, but she doesn't know what County Mistress Fanyi feels like now.

Chen Bianlin continued: "The Cui family, Lu family, Wang family, Xie family, Li family, Wu family and other big families all sent people to participate in the election. This time, among the 26 beautiful women, sixteen entered the East Palace, and the rest The most important ones were given to several princes and lords, Fulin and Li's daughter were the crown prince Liangdi with the highest status in the East Palace, and the Lu family and Wu's daughter were awarded the crown prince Liangyuan, and the rest were only Fengyi."

Chen Fulin: His Royal Highness is so beautiful!

"Flynn's status is the lowest among these people..."

Chen Bianlin glanced at his dazed younger sister, and finally said.

Chen Guilin was dumbfounded: "Ah? Then the little girl will be bullied if she goes in!"

"It's... not really."

Chen Fulin said in a low voice.

Five pairs of eyes stared at her, Chen Fulin cleared his throat, and he didn't hold back any more, and confessed his thoughts.

"I think there are two reasons why I was appointed as Prince Liang Di. One, it may be that there are too many people who want to fight for this position, and it's not good for anyone, so no one gets it.

Second, according to the current situation, His Royal Highness may not want his harem to be completely controlled by the aristocrats of the family, so he ordered me, the daughter of a petty official, on a whim! "

Of course, I don't know if the quarrel between her and Xie Linghua played a role.

But in her previous life, she didn't have a fight with Xie Linghua, so she was still made the crown prince Liangdi.

The Chen family's father and son nodded, indicating that her analysis made some sense.

"Besides, the East Palace has had no children for many years. When I enter the palace, I will either stay timid and wait until someone gives birth to a boy and a half girl, or I will win the first place from the beginning, but this will also become a thorn in the eyes of others..."

"Then you've been cowardly!"

Chen Guilin immediately chose a path for her.

Although it doesn't sound very nice, but you have to live, don't you?

Chen Fulin rolled his eyes: ...

"If you live with it, the prince doesn't even know who you are."

And maybe even the prince is gone.

After all, a prince without heirs would not be recognized by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Hearing what my sister meant, Chen Zhuolin frowned: "What Fulin means is to choose the latter?"

Chen Fulin glanced at his father, faced the other party's disapproving gaze, gritted his teeth and nodded,
"Yes! When others give birth to a son and a half daughter, how long will it take? What if the East Palace never has children? Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself!"

Chen Yanzhi looked at his youngest daughter who had just reached the age of Ji and opened his mouth to give birth, his old face darkened,
"Then how can you guarantee that you will be able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the prince?"

Chen Fulin: "..."

You can't say that I gave birth in your previous life, can you?
Chen Zhuolin also said: "East Palace has no children so far, whether it is fate or artificiality is still unknown, Fulin, don't be rash!"

Ok!

"I know, big brother. But what I mean is that although our Chen family has no roots, we have to avoid its edge, but others have it!"

Chen Yanzhi paused for a while with his hand stroking his beard, and his eyes suddenly became sharper.
"you are right?"

"His Royal Highness!"

Chen Fulin said, "Whether it is the harem or the court, the aristocratic family, the old nobles, and the poor clan are divided into three parts of the world. Isn't the biggest worry for your majesty and the prince, is to get rid of the shackles of the aristocratic family and nobles and further centralize power?"

"The so-called seeking wealth and wealth, isn't it an opportunity for me to enter the East Palace? As long as we can reach a cooperation with His Highness the Crown Prince, isn't it an indirect cooperation with His Majesty?"

"Father, the aristocratic family and the nobles have gained too much these years, and their desires are hard to fill. Your Majesty and the crown prince will never let them go. This is our Chen family's opportunity!"

Become a knife in the hands of His Majesty and the Prince, and ruthlessly pierce the enemy's heart!

Their Chen family can reach unprecedented heights if they can save at least two generations of struggle!
The Chen family's father and son's eyes lit up, but they immediately regained their composure.

They knew that Chen Fulin was only talking about the smooth side of everything, what if they couldn't stand with the prince?

What if His Majesty and the Crown Prince are unable to defeat the family and the old nobles in the short term?

Chen Fulin: Then she can only be cannon fodder.
