EBE Chapter 380 Doubts
Chapter 380 Doubts
The lotus breeze in June gently blows across the surface of the pond, swaying half of the lotus flowers.
"Appoint a crown prince, don't get involved, you can't get involved."
The third prince Qin Mingjin was sitting against the pillar of the pavilion, holding a scroll of scriptures in his hand, looking relaxed and carefree.
The cool breeze from the pond blew the long flowing hairband on his head, and it hit the hand of the Fourth Prince Qin Mingyun, who grabbed it and tied it into a bow. He didn't care and just smiled.
"It's no one else. Third brother, tell me, if father wants to appoint a crown prince, will it be ninth brother, seventh brother or eldest brother?" The fourth prince Qin Mingyun leaned over and whispered in the ear of the third prince Qin Mingjin.
"Why is there something about Seventh Brother, and he's ranked ahead of Eldest Brother?" The Third Prince Qin Mingjin didn't react at first.
When the six, seventh, eighth and ninth princes, Mingjun, Mingrui, Mingyan and Mingxuan, were about to enter the palace, some court officials suddenly asked to establish a crown prince. They didn't understand.
That’s not right. I always feel like something is wrong.
The Ministry of Works built four adjacent mansions designed for the princes. Since there were four of them, everyone assumed that one of them belonged to the Ninth Prince.
Just because the emperor father has never expressed any intention of appointing a crown prince, and has not shown any other intention of valuing the ninth brother or making him the crown prince, except for the character "Xuan" in his name, so everyone tacitly assumes that the ninth brother will also leave the palace and build a prince's mansion instead of moving into the East Palace?
My ninth brother was born in the tenth year of Jingzheng’s reign. He is actually only fifteen this year and will not be sixteen until next year.
His father put him together with his sixth, seventh and eighth brothers, who were born in the ninth year of Jingzheng, to choose a queen. So everyone thought that his ninth brother would leave the palace and set up his own house this year with his sixth, seventh and eighth brothers. Even he thought so before.
But my father did not issue an edict, and no plaques were hung on the four completed princes' mansions.
If you change your orders every day, then you must have given the orders in the first place.
Why do everyone just acquiesce to the emperor's attitude when no orders have been given?
Why do I feel like something is wrong?
This time, the court officials requested to establish a crown prince. Was it the instruction of the emperor, or was it someone else who was testing him?
In the fight for the throne, as the eldest son, the ninth brother will naturally have a large group of people standing behind him to protect his position. This is the etiquette.
If it is a test...could it be related to the rumors about my seventh brother being the future Saint King a few days ago?
The third prince Qin Mingjin's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly understood why his fourth brother Qin Mingyin pulled out his seventh brother as well and put him in line ahead of the eldest prince.
It’s not because the boasting of being the former crown prince’s half-brother is totally unrealistic.
It was my father's intention. Regarding the previous rumors that my seventh brother would be the future Holy Emperor, my father simply ordered them to be cleared up and then let the matter go.
Because of this, some people underestimated the seventh brother's status in the emperor's heart, misunderstood the emperor's intentions, and took the opportunity to ask for the throne for the seventh brother?
Or is it that the forces behind Ninth Brother are trying to determine their attitude towards Father's preference for the Seventh Prince, a bastard son who is neither the eldest nor the legitimate son?
"Third brother, you are so absorbed in your thoughts, why don't you tell me about it so that I can share your worries and analyze it for you?"
The fourth prince Qin Mingyun sat at the stone table in the pavilion and slowly poured tea. He raised his eyes and glanced at his third brother Qin Mingjin who was lost in thought.
"Although the appointment of the crown prince has nothing to do with us and we can't get involved, I'm still curious. Are you sure?"
Qin Mingjin stood up slowly, sat down opposite Qin Mingyun, raised his hand to take the brewed tea, blew on the hot tea gently, and took a sip.
"I can't say for sure. It's just my guess based on my own experience. I can't say for sure." Qin Mingyun smiled, picked up the teacup, looked at the floating tea leaves in the cup, and said leisurely, "The rightful person to defend the title."
If the eldest son, who is gentle and kind, is polished well, he can be transformed from a rough jade into a jade disk; if he is ground into pieces, that is his fate.
