Chapter 1040: He Has the World in His Heart at a Young Age (88 Reward Value Plus)
Shen Zhinian was indeed a little nervous.
But she was not nervous about whether the Fourth Prince would catch any bad prophecy.
After all, Shen Zhinian has always believed that man can conquer nature. What do the objects grabbed during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony represent?
On the contrary, she was worried that what Ah Xu caught was too good...
Because of Nangong Xuanyu's love for Ah Xu, and the jade ruyi that he deliberately gave to Ah Xu today, I'm afraid there are countless people who regard Ah Xu as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh...
If he caught something that symbolized the emperor's power during the Zhou-Zhua ceremony today...
Even if Nangong Xuanyu is not afraid of Ah Xu now, the emperor's heart is unpredictable. The most important thing in the emperor's heart is always power. What about one year, two years... or decades later?
When Nangong Xuanyu grows older and recalls what happened today, won’t he feel fearful of the Fourth Prince who is “destined to succeed”?
There are also those concubines in the harem, royal relatives, and civil and military officials in the court who are full of worries. If they knew that Ah Xu had seized the symbol of imperial power, then he would not know how many calculations he would face next.
Because Shen Zhinian understood that those who were spying in the dark could allow the emperor to favor the fourth prince, but would never make it easy for him to become the crown prince destined by heaven.
The best way is to get rid of it before it grows up!
The Fourth Prince was only one year old, and Shen Zhinian really didn't want him to catch something very eye-catching just because of a so-called good omen.
For example, at this moment, everyone is looking forward to whether the fourth prince will make a splash at the Zhuazhou ceremony. Only Shen Zhinian, as a mother, is worried that he will be remembered and plotted against because of this...
Shen Zhinian would slowly plan for the fourth prince to be the crown prince, or even the emperor. But she didn't want him to be the center of attention today.
Keep a low profile and the possibility of winning will be greater!
However, no one can influence the thoughts of a one-year-old child. Even if Shen Zhinian is worried, he can only leave it to God.
She said to Xuanpin: "Whether I am nervous or not, I cannot decide anything. Just see what Ah Xu likes."
Xuanpin nodded thoughtfully.
Although the Sixth Prince is still young, he will also have his one-year-old birthday celebration next year.
If possible, she would like the Sixth Prince to catch something more ordinary so as not to become the target of public criticism.
Xuanpin didn't know what other people thought, but in her heart, the safety of her child was more important than any wealth and glory.
The ceremonial officer said, "Please ask the Imperial Concubine Chen to place the Fourth Prince on the red carpet!"
Shen Zhinian stood up again, picked up the fourth prince and let him go.
The Fourth Prince crawled freely on the red carpet and seemed to be interested in everything.
He looked at the imperial seal, then at the imperial beads, then at the cakes...
At this moment, everyone remained silent so as not to disturb the Fourth Prince and affect the results of the Zhou-Zhua ceremony.
Shen Maoxue's thoughts were similar to Shen Zhinian's.
Although the Shen family today is no longer the same as it used to be, it is precisely because the Shen family rose so quickly that in terms of foundation, it cannot be compared with some of the aristocratic families in Beijing.
If someone is determined to get rid of the Fourth Prince, neither he nor Concubine Chen can necessarily protect the other party.
In this case, it would be inappropriate to draw attention at this critical juncture.
As it was, the reason why Your Majesty was adopted by the Empress Dowager when he was a child was because he knew how to keep a low profile, right?
If you become a thorn in the eyes of the world early on, you will face more calculations.
Besides, whether or not one can ascend to that position is not determined by what one gets during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony. It is not worth it to be envied, schemed against, or even murdered by someone with ulterior motives for such a small matter.
Many people looked at the Fourth Prince, their eyes darkening...
When it comes to the royal heir, any small matter can have a ripple effect.
These people represent different interest groups.
Some people hope that the Fourth Prince will be the only one to win the emperor's favor, while others cannot bear to see him receive the emperor's favor.
If the Fourth Prince really gets hold of the Imperial Seal... then... he cannot be kept!
Maybe they won't have to do anything then...
After all, His Majesty is still so young. Even if he dotes on the Fourth Prince, he will never allow anyone to covet the throne under him!
finally--
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Fourth Prince grabbed... a book.
Shen Zhinian and Shen Maoxue looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief inaudibly.
At least with this result, they don't have to worry about the Fourth Prince becoming too popular and attracting unnecessary calculations for the time being.
Nangong Xuanyu said with great interest: "Bring it here for me to see what book the Fourth Prince has caught."
Li Changde replied "Yes" and handed the book that the Fourth Prince had grabbed to Nangong Xuanyu: "Your Majesty, it's a travelogue."
Although the "Zhuazhou" ceremony is a good blessing, it does not mean that whatever the child grabs will be related to these things when he grows up.
Nangong Xuanyu did not take this matter to heart and said happily: "It seems that the Fourth Prince has the whole world in his heart at such a young age and pays attention to every inch of the land of the Great Zhou."
Everyone: "..."
Could His Majesty's preference for the Fourth Prince be more obvious?
Travel notes are records of traveling around mountains and rivers, and often symbolize the heart of a free and easy person. Your Majesty can actually connect it with caring about the world.
It turns out that people’s hearts are naturally biased.
Many people snorted in their hearts. Fortunately, the Fourth Prince did not show any abnormality. Otherwise, if he knew how to grab the imperial seal at such a young age, they would have to make a good plan.
Wang Pin smiled, with the mockery in her eyes obvious.
When the third prince turned one year old, he only got a piece of cake during the ceremony. Although these people didn't say anything on the surface, she knew that they must be laughing at the third prince behind his back, saying that he only knew how to eat when he grew up.
And now, the Fourth Prince has got hold of a travel book. It is obvious that he is a playboy. How is he any better than the Third Prince?
It seems that she had thought too highly of Concubine Chen and the Fourth Prince before. Under the care of Concubine Chen, the Fourth Prince did not show any lofty ambitions.
Concubine Chun touched her belly, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of her lips.
Since the news of her pregnancy spread, many people in the palace have ridiculed her openly and secretly, saying that it doesn't matter if she is pregnant? A prince with foreign blood is destined to have no chance of that position, and it's useless to be pregnant.
Even if she gave birth to a prince, he would only get a barren piece of land when he was enfeoffed in the future.
Many people also compared the child in her belly with the Fourth Prince, saying that the Fourth Prince was invaluable and her child would never be as good as him.
But now?
How could a prince who caught a travelogue be so noble in the future? It's really ridiculous!
Of course, no matter what these people thought, since the emperor had spoken, they could only smile and compliment him: "Your Majesty is absolutely right!"
