"What to do? Listening to stories, of course." Facing Zhang Zhi's curiosity, Su Ying said naturally, "Mr. Storyteller must know a lot about this business, right?"

He has just arrived and knows nothing about Shangjing, and he just needs a know-it-all to help him understand Shangjing faster.

He said so, but others didn't believe it.

... The story told by the storyteller is nothing more than a joke.This son from a small place, like those foolish men and women, really believed in that, right?

Zhang Zhi said disdainfully: "Brother Xu, you are joking, what can a storyteller know! How can these little people know the real secret? This kind of people only eat with one mouth, and the stories that come out of their mouths are very likely.They are all made up, just ignorant talk in the market. Brother Xu, if you want to know something, you might as well ask us."

"Brother Zhang said, don't look at us being idle and having fun on weekdays, and being described as worthless by those pious guys, but we know a lot of things very well."

Everyone, you say what I say.

"It's like my elder brother, who looks so serious on the surface, and reprimands me in front of my parents all day long for not doing my job properly, but I don't know that a good friend told me that this guy sneaked into the brothel. I didn't bother to say it before, but when he scolded me the day before yesterday, I sued him, and now he is still reflecting in the ancestral hall."

"—and the Qilang of the Lin family who was touted by a bunch of sour scholars, they all thought he was a great talent, and there were many blind little ladies who admired him. Who in our powerful circle doesn't know that this is the second princeRabbit master? Who knows how he got his name?"

"This guy really doesn't deserve his name. He has a bit of talent, but he thinks he's so talented that he can win the first prize. The last time we met face to face, he didn't take a second glance at me, so he doesn't think much of me.Dude. The second prince is new to him now, I want to see how the second prince gets bored, what will happen to him. The second prince's jealousy is not a joke, which one of those in the past will have a good end?"

After a group of playboys drank enough wine, the conversation started, and Su Ying ate one melon after another.Seeing that the topic involved the second prince, these people showed no intention of restraining themselves, and they couldn't hear much respect for the second prince from their words.Even Su Ying, an outsider, could see that the Second Prince's reputation in Shangjing was not very good.

According to everyone's opinion, this person is romantic by nature, and he is not jealous of men and women. Perhaps the only good thing is that he eats well, and he has never done anything to bully men and women.After all, in his capacity, there is really no need to act like that.The second prince concubine is the daughter of the princess, with a noble status and an arrogant temperament. It was the second prince who took the initiative to ask for marriage to succeed.Those men and women who were favored and neglected by the second prince fell into the hands of the second prince and concubine, and their fate was miserable.And the second prince didn't care about these "former concubines", and let his wife ravage him, as if this could show his love for the second prince and concubine, and the latter also followed suit.

——This is the reason why these playboys look down on the second prince and his wife in words.One takes out his concubine's anger, and his methods are cruel and vicious.A mean, ruthless, irresponsible.

However, a dude is not the same as an idiot who doesn’t understand anything. Even if the second prince is looked down upon by others, he is the emperor’s son after all. Today, he is not a puppet emperor who is suppressed by powerful ministers or aristocratic families. Considering the majesty of the royal family, he should not be exposed to the public.Talk about the prince so casually, right?Aren't you afraid of being told these words to the emperor and endangering your family?

Normally, there should be such concerns.

But this dynasty is not normal.

Because the three princes are not the biological sons of the current emperor.

Emperor Huiming once had two sons, but both of them died young, and now there is only one daughter, and that is Princess Yuling, born of Empress Yu.

Empress Yu is from a well-known family, her father was the Prince Taifu, that is, the teacher of the present, her grandfather was an official to Wenyuan Pavilion, and her maternal grandfather was the head of Bailu Academy, with peaches and plums all over the world.

On the day Princess Yuling was born, Emperor Huiming officially ascended the throne, thinking it was an auspicious omen, and overjoyed, he granted Yuling a fief and named her Princess Yuling.

This is also the first child of Emperor Huiming.

Emperor Huiming ranked ninth among his brothers. When he was born, his older brothers had already married wives and had children. However, he was weak and sick since he was a child. After three years of marriage, he still had no children.Because of this, even though he was more talented than his brothers and was the legitimate eldest son, he still failed to gain the approval of the late emperor.

When the elder brothers brought their children and grandchildren to entertain relatives in colorful clothes in front of the late emperor, there was no one under his knees, the contrast was too tragic.

It was precisely because of the hesitation and hesitation of the first emperor that the ambitions of the kings gradually grew, thinking that they all had a chance to fight for the throne.Who knew that the first emperor never deposed the crown prince until he became seriously ill, so how could the kings who had already had a deadly enmity with the crown prince just sit and wait for death?

Thus, there was the palace change sixteen years ago.

After the palace change, the four kings died tragically on the spot, and the four kings were imprisoned for life. Only the prince had the last laugh and ascended the throne.

But Emperor Huiming has been on the throne for a long time, and apart from Princess Yuling, he still has no children.There was a son and a daughter, both of whom died shortly after birth.It is not good for the whole Daqi if the position of crown prince is vacant for a long time.All officials in the court are urging day by day to adopt the children of the clan first, and if the emperor has a biological son in the future, it will not be too late to return to the clan.The emperor himself was not reconciled, unwilling to admit that he could not give birth to a son.

The two sides began a years-long standoff.

Until five years ago, the second son who was finally acquired also died young. Emperor Huiming seemed to have finally given up his mind, and seemed to be angry with all the officials. He actually adopted three princes from the imprisoned princes' mansions, and the youngest at that timeThe three princes are all ten years old and can remember things.

——Not to mention that the kings competed with the emperor for the throne at the beginning, and the hatred was very deep, and the crime of rebellion has not yet been pardoned.It's inappropriate to only talk about the ages of the three princes.It is obviously not the best choice for a normal adoption to choose someone who is not qualified for either of the two conditions.
