Chapter 187 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (52)

Emperor Zhaohui issued an edict, which roughly meant that the Fifth Princess Li Handan's son was born at a different time, so he could not have a formal name before he was three years old. But for the sake of convenience, he was given the nickname "Changsheng".

I hope this child lives a long life.

This move left many people confused.

Could this be the beginning of the Fifth Princess Li Handan's fall from favor? As if to confirm this suspicion, Emperor Zhaohui began to frequently summon the eldest prince and hinted that he should have a legitimate son as soon as possible.

A year later, the eldest prince and his princess succeeded in having a child and finally had a legitimate son.

Emperor Zhaohui was very happy and gave the child, who was just a few days old, a name: Li Chengyu.

This situation made many people understand that the emperor wanted to choose his grandson as the heir to the throne.

The eldest prince also started to tremble, and returned to the state he was in when the second prince was driven to the imperial mausoleum.

The third prince was no longer a child at this time, so he naturally did not want to be suppressed by a little brat, besides, he had already gotten married two years ago.

He felt that his father liked his grandson, so he followed the example of the eldest prince and took in a concubine and a noble concubine, and began to have children to please Emperor Zhaohui.

For a period of several years, the royal family became very prosperous.

"Haha, this is so funny." The Fifth Princess Li Handan was joking with her husband Chu Yuxuan that day, "It is said that a mother's status is elevated by her sons. My brothers also want to raise their status by giving birth to children."

"Yuhuan, let's just talk about this between you and me. Otherwise, if it gets out, another censor will report you." Although Chu Yuxuan's words were a warning, there was a smile on his face.

"What's the big deal? Daddy won't care." Li Handan waved her hand. "A few days ago, when he came to see our daughter through the secret passage, he heard her say this."

Chu Yuxuan sighed sadly: "Who do you think our daughter Fuling (Chu Lingchu's nickname) looks like? How dare you say anything?"

"Of course I look like you." Li Handan refused to admit it. "You dared to accept my rings and pendants when you first met me."

"What I received is not a pendant." Chu Yuxuan smiled happily, "What I received is a jade ring, a jade ring that belongs only to me and will accompany me for the rest of my life."

"Bah! You have so many thoughts. You're just a little kid, and you already know how to find a wife." Li Handan scolded with a smile.

Chu Yuxuan held her hand and kissed her on the lips: "If you don't find a wife sooner, who knows if you will be lonely for the rest of your life?"

It’s true that Chu Yuxuan was quite foresighted. In his previous life, he never found a wife and became a Taoist priest all his life.

This farce of childbirth ended when the fifth princess Li Handan's son turned five years old.

When Changsheng was five years old, Emperor Zhaohui officially gave him the name: Li Chengji, and named him the Crown Prince. Cui Zhiyuan of the Cui family was appointed as the Grand Tutor, and he directly entered the Eastern Palace.

"Cheng" in "chengsi" and "ji" in "sheji".

As soon as this name came out, everyone understood what Emperor Zhaohui meant.

But when many people were doing the opposite, they suddenly discovered that in terms of literature, the Cui family was standing behind him, and in terms of military, he was the grandson of Duke Anguo.

But this is just the beginning, not the end.

Because in the same year, the second child of the fifth princess Li Handan and Chu Yuxuan was also born, Emperor Zhaohui still gave this grandson the surname Li and named him Li Chengming.

He also gave Li Handan's previous fief, Yongjing City, to the infant child as a fief.

He was granted the title of first-rank prince and was named Prince Yong.

This clearly tells everyone that the heir to the Great Xia Kingdom can only come from the belly of the fifth princess Li Handan, and no one else can do it.

The third princess and the queen were almost going crazy when faced with such a thing, and Li Danruo tried her best to provoke Chu Yuhe.

She is also a princess, and he is the son of Duke Anguo. In terms of bloodline, their children are the same as Li Handan's children.

Why could her, Li Handan's child, ascend to the throne, while their children didn't even have a basic title?

Chu Yuhe didn't show it on his face, but he was also feeling unbalanced in his heart.

Because he had supported the second prince in the early days, Emperor Zhaohui did not value him as much as in his previous life, and most of the military power was still in the hands of his father.

Moreover, according to the current situation, he will be given the title of Duke of Anguo, but not necessarily the military power.

Since his grandson could become emperor, Duke Anguo would certainly have different plans.

Chu Yuhe seemed to understand a little bit. In his previous life, Emperor Zhaohui valued him not because of his ability, but more likely because he married the fifth princess Li Handan.

No, he still has a chance. As long as he can get Li Handan back to his side, everything that belongs to his second brother Chu Yuxuan will be his.
