Chapter 474: The Crown Prince Chosen by Heaven for the Great Zhou
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Nangong Xuanyu asked with great interest: "What auspicious sign?"
The young eunuch bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty will know when you go out and take a look."
At this moment, he was already thinking happily in his heart that on such a good day, as the first person to come in to report the auspicious sign, he might get a handsome reward from His Majesty and the Empress Consort!
Nangong Xuanyu stood up and walked out.
Concubine Liu also helped Empress Dowager Liu to catch up.
The others were full of curiosity and naturally followed closely.
Some people even glanced at the Fourth Prince vaguely, with a rather subtle look on their faces.
Today is the Fourth Prince’s full moon ceremony. It is an auspicious sign from heaven and has extraordinary significance!
Shen Zhinian walked beside Nangong Xuanyu, his eyes slightly frozen, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
There aren’t so many auspicious coincidences in the world. When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
As soon as everyone walked out of Zhongcui Palace, they saw countless bees flying to the palace wall outside, and finally formed a big "Jun" character!
Jun refers to the crown prince.
It can also refer to the emperor.
Bees symbolize diligence and wisdom, which are qualities that a wise ruler should possess.
Today is the Fourth Prince's full moon day, but the heavens have sent down such a strange phenomenon. Doesn't it mean...
In an instant, many people's eyes turned toward the Fourth Prince with extremely fiery expressions!
Many palace servants were attracted by this magical scene and were discussing excitedly: "Oh my God! It's already the end of September and the weather is so cold, how come there are so many bees appearing at the same time?!"
"Otherwise, how can it be called auspicious? Only the extraordinary can be auspicious!"
"I have been in the palace since I was a child, and this is the first time I have seen such an auspicious sign in the palace!"
"It seems that the Fourth Prince is a very blessed person. Even the heavens specially sent him this gift for his full moon!"
"..."
Shen Zhinian is now in a high position and has great power, and the fourth prince is so loved by the emperor, I wonder how many concubines are jealous. Seeing this scene, all kinds of emotions surged in their hearts...
Why do all the good things in the world get taken by these mother and son?!
Could it be that the Fourth Prince is really the reincarnation of a saint, destined to inherit the throne and become the ruler of a country in the future?
Concubine Liu was also stunned. When she saw the word "Jun" formed by bees on the wall, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Could she really be wrong?!
The one who will inherit the throne in the future will not be the third prince, but the fourth prince? !
Then what's the point of her raising the third prince? !
Empress Dowager Liu narrowed her eyes slightly, and the smile at the corners of her lips suddenly became meaningful. Her deep eyes seemed to see through everything.
Among the royal family members and concubines in the harem, there are many people who want to curry favor with His Majesty and get close to the virtuous concubine. Of course, they will not miss such a great opportunity.
For a moment, many people were filled with smiles on their faces, and they bowed their hands in congratulations, saying, "Auspicious signs from heaven! Auspicious signs from heaven!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"The Fourth Prince is born extraordinary. He is a blessing to the Great Zhou Dynasty and also to us!"
"..."
Even Concubine Sun had a big smile on her face: "Congratulations, Sister Xianfei!"
It turns out that the Fourth Prince is the crown prince chosen by God for the Great Zhou!
Hehehe...she can say in the future that she once held the Crown Prince when he was a child.
Shen Zhinian's heart suddenly sank!
Because Nangong Xuanyu and the Fourth Prince are not only father and son, but also monarch and subject!
The royal family has always been about the monarch and his subjects first, and then the father and son!
No king can allow the throne to be coveted by others.
Looking back at all dynasties, princes could covet the throne and fight for it, but no one dared to say it openly, otherwise they would be seeking death!
What's more, Nangong Xuanyu is not even twenty-five years old. For such a young emperor, seeing that God has already chosen someone to succeed him, and hearing everyone praising the Fourth Prince so highly... can he be happy?
As expected, looking at the big word "Jun", the smile on the emperor's face gradually faded and his eyes darkened.
Feeling the low pressure around him, those who flattered him gradually realized that they might have hit the horse's leg...
The bustling scene suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Shen Zhinian immediately knelt down while holding the Fourth Prince in her arms, her tone terrified but sincere: "Your Majesty, please understand! All I wish for in my life is for Ah Xu to be safe and happy. I have no desire to covet the throne of the king!"
Concubine Sun also realized that she had said the wrong thing just now. She felt a little uneasy, but didn't know how to make amends, so she knelt down as well.
Defei's heart pain had eased, but she was very weak, with half of her body leaning on Fendai.
Seeing this, she smiled gently, her eyes seemed a little surprised: "On the day of the Fourth Prince's full moon, strange phenomena and auspicious signs appeared in the sky. This is a great happy event. It should be a hundred benefits and no harm to the royal family and the Great Zhou."
"The Fourth Prince is born extraordinary. As his mother, shouldn't Concubine Xian be happy for him? What is she doing?"
Concubine Liang also said, "Sister Defei is right. The appearance of auspicious signs is a happy event. Today we can all enjoy the blessing of the Fourth Prince."
Concubine De looked at Nangong Xuanyu and said angrily, "Your Majesty, look at how scared Concubine Xian is. Please say something!"
Nangong Xuanyu's complexion had returned to normal. He stepped forward and personally helped Shen Zhinian up, saying softly, "I am not angry, Nian Nian, there is no need to be nervous."
However, Shen Zhinian knew this man so well, how could she not feel his hidden emotions?
In her two lives, she had seen many such methods. Many auspicious signs were simply fabricated by someone for some purpose.
If today's matter is not properly resolved, once it gets out, Ah Xu will be pushed to the forefront!
Nangong Xuanyu will also feel alienated from Ah Xu in his heart.
The more outstanding Ah Xu becomes in the future, the more fearful he will be when he thinks of the word "Jun"!
All the efforts Shen Zhinian had made for the Fourth Prince were destroyed in an instant!
This method of praising to death is really clever!
How could she allow anyone to plot against her child right under her nose!
Shen Zhinian handed the fourth prince to the wet nurse, bowed to the emperor again, and said seriously: "Don't even mention seeing it. I have never heard of such a strange thing. I really don't believe that bees would fly on the wall to form a word for no reason, and they would choose the day of Ah Xu's full moon."
Concubine Hao asked in surprise, "What the virtuous lady is saying is that this is man-made? But bees are not people, let alone animals that can be trained. How can they be controlled by people?"
After calming down, Nangong Xuanyu gradually came to his senses: "Li Changde."
"Yes!"
Li Changde immediately took a few young eunuchs and went forward to check.
Bees can sting people, and there were so many of their masters here that they didn't dare to drive them away. They could only order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring tools and deal with them carefully.
