Lin Yishuang: "I know that the official family favors you, wife. If possible, I suggest that you leave the little prince in Xiangluan Pavilion in the future, and you will raise and take care of it yourself."
Concubine Rong Gui: "That's my own flesh and blood, why didn't I want to take care of him myself; it's just that the queen won't agree, and neither will the ministers. According to the rules, the prince should be handed over to the queen to raise him."
Lin Jianshuang: "Even so, I just don't know if you have thought about it carefully?"
Concubine Rong: "What? What do you think?"
Lin Yishuang: "The Empress has never given birth and raised a child, how does she know how to raise a child? How can she raise a child well?"
"Madam, I don't know the specific situation in the palace, but I know what everyone knows. The official family has given birth to three princes and eight princesses since they ascended the throne. These are registered."
Lin Jianshuang continued in a low voice, "The official family once had three princes, eight princesses, and eleven children, but only the eldest princess had one daughter. After the three princes of the official family were born, they were all raised by the queen. Where are the three princes now? Your wife, do you want your little prince to be the fourth? Do you want your little prince to step behind the other three little princes?"
Concubine Rong was shocked when she heard that, and her eyes widened in amazement: "You, you suspect..."
Obviously, Concubine Rong only thought of this and suspected it.
It's not her fault, the third son of the official family has died more than ten years ago, and when the third prince of the official family died, she hadn't even entered the palace. Concubine Rong has only served the official family for a few years, so she doesn't know much. And she never doubted the queen.
After all, the Queen's reputation in and out of the palace is too good. If a person's affairs and reputation are all good and flawless, it means that there is something wrong with that person. Because there is never a perfect person in the world. Everyone has flaws, and if the person behaves more completely, it shows that he is covering up and hiding his shortcomings and his unknown side.
Lin Yishuang: "Madam, I am also a woman living in the back house. The private struggle in the back house is similar to that in the palace, but it is not comparable to that in the palace. Madam, yes or no, the death of the three princes is the best proof and the best evidence."
"Madam, even if there is no evidence. But she raised three princes to death, at least it can explain something."
Concubine Rong: "What?"
Lin Yanchuang: "She is a gezi."
Concubine Rong: "Kezi."
Concubine Rong: Yes. No matter what, Kezi is certain. The queen raised three princes of the official family to death. No, she can't let her little prince be the fourth.
Seeing that Concubine Rong seemed to have signs of being persuaded, Lin Lianshuang continued and said with persistent efforts:
"Madam, I said that all this is for the official family, for the Song Dynasty, for the little prince, and even for you."
Concubine Rong: "For me?"
Lin Yishuang: "Yes. To say something respectful. The official family is not too young, and no matter what happens in the future, there will be many years, and it will not be good. Your little prince is now the eldest son of the official family and the only son of the official family. If there is no accident, after the funeral of the official family, your little prince will be the next official."
"If your son becomes an official, you will be the Empress Dowager. Under one person, you will be on an equal footing with the one from Kunning Hall."
"But if the official family does not have a son, the official family must adopt the heir. That is, someone else's son becomes an official. Madam Rong, you are still very young. If the heir becomes an official, what will happen to you in the future?"
"Madam, when will someone else's son be the emperor compared to your son being the emperor? Now the little prince is the only son of the official family. As long as the little prince can grow up safely, the throne will be his."
"The premise of all this is that the little prince has to grow up safely. Lady Rong, have you thought about it?"
"Madam Rong, whether the little prince can grow up in peace, or follow in the footsteps of the first three princes, it's all up to you."
Concubine Rong Gui: "Needless to say, I will definitely protect my child and let him grow up in peace."
Lin Yishuang: "The lady is kind, and the minister's wife will thank the lady for the Song Dynasty."
As long as the little prince can grow up safely, the throne will not fall into the hands of others, and perhaps it will not go back to the original direction. As long as Great Song is well, her children and grandchildren will also be well.
