Chapter 314 Godson
The cool breeze brings with it the fragrance of orchids.
Yilan Palace.
"There will be new people entering the palace next year."
Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi sighed at the Eighth Prince Qin Mingyan who was sitting next to her.
"Mother, are you worried that Father has a new lover and has forgotten the old one?"
The eighth prince Qin Mingyan tilted his head and placed it on his mother's shoulder.
Jiang Lanzhi's pretty face seemed surprised for a moment, then she smiled and shook her head.
"Mother is worried that trouble will arise again. Newcomers are always the most arrogant and have no scruples. Once they see some appearances and get some favors, they think they are special and start to act recklessly.
The calculations of smart people are scary, but the actions of stupid people who don't follow common sense are just as bad.
Your mother asked you to study history, so you can't just listen to a story. How many people in history had their plans ruined by the recklessness of fools?
Mother taught you to hide your cleverness in clumsiness. You can’t really make yourself a clumsy person. You need to think more and reflect more.”
"Mother, I will teach you."
The eighth prince Qin Mingyan stood up solemnly and bowed before sitting back down next to Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi.
Jiang Lanzhi patted the eighth prince Qin Mingyan's arm gently and nodded.
“The old people have been in the palace for many years and they all know each other fairly well.
In the years since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has only selected two batches of beauties. The last time, they were eliminated due to the Empress Dowager's mourning period, and the last time, His Majesty rejected them on the grounds that state affairs were too heavy.
The decree for this selection has been issued, and there should be many new people entering the palace.
My mother had been hiding behind everyone before, using her ability to have her inner thoughts heard by others during her emotional fluctuations to cultivate her mind and calm herself down, and at the same time she also tested all the concubines.
The harem is now in balance, no one dares to act rashly, and no one can fight. With the arrival of this new person, the water in this newly settled pool will probably become muddy again."
Jiang Lanzhi did not let her own son know the truth about her inner thoughts without reservation. Her son knew everything that outsiders knew.
Even between mother and son, they cannot be completely without secrets. When it comes to being cautious, she is very strict.
"Mother, my Seventh Brother has come to chat with me these past few days for the first time.
Speaking of this, yesterday, after my father went to Shangxiang Palace to test us, he said that before going hunting, he would take us to pick a pony.
After my father left, my seventh brother actually asked me if I had a small bow and said he would give me one."
"Didn't you always say he was arrogant? What's his attitude like?"
"Attitude? It's quite normal, I can't tell anything. Mother, he wouldn't have bad intentions and want to harm me, right?"
The eighth prince Qin Mingyan laughed and hugged Jiang Lanzhi's arm and joked.
"Be more serious."
"Yes, mother, I obey your command."
"He actually took the initiative to make friends with you, so what should you do, do you know?"
"Take the small bow he gave me and give him a gift in return. From now on, I will have a close friendship with my seventh brother Tangdi and a deep brotherly love. I will follow your lead."
"You should keep a good balance."
The eighth prince Qin Mingyan nodded seriously.
"Come to think of it, you haven't learned to ride a horse yet, so even if the pony is small, it's still big for you, and the foal..."
Jiang Lanzhi recalled the size and temperament of the foal she had seen before, frowned, and said worriedly.
"Mother, don't worry about that. I heard that the pony we were given to ride on was not a young horse, but an adult horse. It was a special breed of horse that was sent as tribute by a vassal state in the south. It was only three feet tall and was specially made for children to ride on. It was very docile."
"Isn't this the dwarf mentioned in the book? There are dwarf horses, too?"
Jiang Lanzhi said with a smile.
