Chapter 484: For the Emperor’s Grandson
The two of them were talking and laughing, and the Crown Princess had a flash of dissatisfaction in her eyes. The person standing next to her was her own mother, Countess Weiyuan.
Having raised her daughter for so many years, her every move naturally fell into the eyes of the Countess, and then she pulled her to a place slightly separated from the crowd and said softly.
"It's just a pearl. Giving it to the Gu family is just a reward. When you get to that high position, won't you do the same? It doesn't matter what the reward is or who it is given to. The most important thing is that the reward is given to you, isn't it?"
The Countess's words hit the Crown Princess's mind, so she quickly figured it out and smiled and replied.
"It's still my mother who can relieve my worries."
"Now the most important thing is not to care about this pearl. Let me ask you, is there anyone outstanding in the East Palace?"
The Crown Princess nodded after hearing this, and then explained the situation.
"The daughter sent by the Xing family is very capable. She says that she is grateful, but in fact, she has many ambitions. In addition, Concubine Zong has also risen in status after giving birth to the prince. If she had not had some conflicts with the concubines in the past, I am afraid that she might not even take the daughter's words seriously."
"Being outstanding has its advantages, and not being outstanding has its advantages. After the prince ascends the throne, you will be the queen in charge of the harem. It is useless to argue with those concubines. Just weigh it carefully. The most important thing is the child. This road is not easy to walk. You must be very careful."
The Countess has said these words to the Crown Princess more than once, so the Crown Princess naturally remembers them in her heart.
Now the princes born by the Crown Princess are four years old and eight years old. It is a good time to study. The teacher of our seven brothers was also selected by the Earl of Weiyuan's Mansion. He is the favorite student of Prime Minister Guo.
"It's not that he's too young, but it's a bad thing to enter the East Palace to accompany the emperor's sons."
The seven mothers and sons looked over. The reputation, status, background and ability of the seventh son of the Guo family are good, so the countess also thinks that the choice is wrong.
Although your son doesn't have any big ideas, he can understand the direction of the wind with just a little reminder, so you are not worried. Then you look at your daughter-in-law who is also laughing with Du Jingyi. You are happy to see the in-laws of those aristocratic families.
So the two children followed me and learned to be upright and unsophisticated.
That's not a few decades, from a child to a middle-aged man now. If you follow the chickens and dogs to rise to the sky now, it means that the grandsons born by your sons will not have a long way to go.
"Mother is worried. After marrying into the East Palace for more than ten years, a man knows how to act, right?"
"He is afraid that I will snatch his son? Hahaha."
You have to win the emperor's love and hate, but you also have to be too eye-catching to cause the father and son to be alienated, so you still have little knowledge outside. Therefore, you should support a few outstanding former concubines to fight behind you, and you, the queen, can also make some use of your hands. It is true that you should raise your children carelessly.
Gu Shaoyu's heart tightened. I don't want my son to be too involved with these princes in the East Palace, so I said in a light tone.
"Thanks to your recommendation, the grandchildren of the East Palace are all outstanding. I am afraid that my sons who are still breastfeeding will become successful. But next time I hear Minister Guo mention it, the wrong companions have been chosen for the youngest grandchild and the seventh grandchild."
"Is his Gu family also going to expand? I still want to see the glory of the Gu family as a brave family in the past."
"He should find a good opportunity to talk to the prince. The worst case scenario is that I took the initiative to bring up this matter, and he will go with the flow. It will be troublesome if the prince thinks that he has not planned enough and has a grudge."
As for Gu Shaoyu, he stood beside the prince and talked about some interesting things in recent days. The real plan would be in the small courtyard and in public.
"Yes, when I got a new son in the future, he was born in the room after listening to the concubine calling for several hours. It is easy for men to give birth, but they must be well taken care of."
So he nodded and said.
"My grandfather chose them. They are indeed bad candidates. One is from the Zeng family and the other is from the Ling family. They are both unruly but loyal. I think they are wrong, so I plan to enter the East Palace to accompany him after this summer."
"He has considered everything. Does he have no suitable candidate for this matter?"
After hearing that, the prince patted my shoulder and said.
Whether it is about the future, the seven people said that sincerely at this moment, and the prince looked at the seven Gu family members behind him and had some other thoughts.
Gu Shaoyu raised his mouth slightly, and then he didn't say anything less. If I don't show some real emotions appropriately, the prince will be less sincere to me.
"Your Highness, thank you for your compliments. It was just a coincidence. I would rather give birth to each of them one by one. I was so worried when my wife was pregnant with the eight brothers."
"Everything has to involve me, mother. If I have too much power, will it affect the prince?"
The Crown Princess glanced and saw Guo Qilang, who was chatting and laughing nearby. She said with a smile on her face.
Gu Shaoyu clasped his fists and said.
Zeng and Ling are both from aristocratic families, and there are few civil servants. Therefore, the children selected were sent to the East Palace to accompany the emperor's grandchildren to study, which can be regarded as an indirect win over us. Therefore, Gu Shaoyu only needs to look at it to see the satisfaction of the crown prince.
"Mother, I will always remember what he said. When the prince comes to see me in the future, he will think that my homework is wrong and praise me for a while."
"There are indeed more newborns in the family than newborns. I don't think I can count on the prince these days."
Although he is a little old-fashioned, he is really capable.
The prince became the prince not long after he was born from the queen's belly.
In this regard, Long Taibo did not understand, and said after looking at his sons who were playing nearby.
The Crown Princess' words also made sense. The Countess patted her hands and said after hearing it.
"The prince is the future of Xiaoxing, and having many children is what the gods are happy to see."
"Study hard and don't neglect riding and archery. While Gu Shaoyu is still in the city, it would be a good idea to pick a suitable candidate from my account to be the riding and archery master."
"Duoyu is so lucky that others envy him. He has eight brothers in one birth. Even if Xiaoxing looks for them, he can't find many of them."
"The seventh son of the Guo family is now serving outside the Imperial Guard. I heard that he is also a useless person. I am from the prince's mother's family, and I am also the emperor's cousin. The man thinks I am wrong."
The countess agreed with this.
