"Fifth Prince, look at what you look like now!"

As soon as Jiang Kuo entered the palace, he saw Su Chenan lying directly on the steps without any conscience, holding the wine pot in his hand, and drinking himself drunk.

Not only that, he also made a big fuss in his palace on this special day.

It's really too unconventional.

"Grandfather, if you don't go to Su Lixiao's palace to congratulate him, what should I do in the palace of the prince that my father doesn't love and my mother doesn't love? Could it be that you, grandfather, you should also watch my grandson's jokes like other ministers in the court!"

Su Chenan was extremely angry and extremely aggrieved.

Anyone in this world can betray him, but Jiang Kuo can't!

"Why? Tell me, why do you do that?" Su Chenan grabbed Jiang Kuo's collar and threw away the wine pot in his hand. He clenched Jiang Kuo's collar bit by bit, "You are my grandfather. You are the only person worthy of my trust in my heart since I was a child! But why do you treat me like this now?"

Su Chen An was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

When he was young, because his mother, Concubine Jiang, was not favored in the harem, he, the fifth prince, was bullied by many people.

Because in the palace, those who cannot be favored by His Majesty will eventually be bullied regardless of their status.

Su Chen'an's life was not easy, but his mother, Concubine Jiang, was not easy either.

Therefore, many times, after Su Chenan was bullied in the palace, he would choose not to tell his mother and take revenge alone.

But when he was young, he was still a child. Even if he wanted to retaliate against those who bullied him, he would often feel powerless.

Su Chenan still remembers the worst time he was bullied. In order not to let his mother see the injuries on his face, he kept hiding.

But in the end, he was found by his grandfather Jiang Kuo.

"Maternal grandfather, when you saw someone bullying me, you stuffed the palace servants who bullied me into the well with your own hands. You also told me that no matter who bullies me in the future, you will help me solve them with your own hands!"

The past is vivid in my mind. Su Chen'an couldn't believe that his grandfather, who was willing to kill for him, joined forces with Su Lixiao to push him into the deepest abyss.

"Maternal grandfather, I know I am an unpopular prince. Did you choose Su Lixiao because you saw that I was unable to bring you benefits?"

Su Chenan couldn't think of the reason why Jiang Kuo betrayed him.

The man who once treated his grandfather wholeheartedly and secretly planned to eradicate Su Yiting and Concubine Dong for his sake, why did he suddenly turn against Su Lixiao after defeating Su Yiting?

Su Chenan really couldn't figure it out.

"I can, grandfather, one day I can become the prince that my father values ​​the most. Why don't you give me some time? Wait for me, I can really become the support of the Jiang family and mother..."

Su Chenan was already drunk and unconscious.

On weekdays, he would not say these arrogant and ambitious words in front of everyone.

Jiang Kuo looked at the fifth prince Su Chenan who was drunk in front of him and was talking nonsense to him. He felt very moved. He stepped forward and pulled Su Chenan up from the cold stone steps.

Su Chen'an originally thought Jiang Kuo was here to ridicule him and read him to laugh at him.

But he never expected that Jiang Kuo would want to treat him like before. Jiang Kuo took him back to the bedroom, took off his shoes and socks, removed his dirty clothes, and fed him the soup to learn about wine.

Jiang Kuo, who did these things, made Su Chen'an's eyes warm.

"Grandfather..."

He had never been treated seriously by his father in the royal family. Su Chenan didn't know what the care of the male elders in the family should be like, until he met his grandfather Jiang Kuo in the palace.

"The fifth prince, the old minister will always be your grandfather and the one you can rely on."

Seeing that Su Chen'an finally woke up, Jiang Kuo took care of himself again.

"The fifth prince can still remember the words that the old minister said to you when you were young. After hearing this, I was very happy.

It’s a relief. The fifth prince, the old minister, can now assure you as before, that no matter what happens in the future, I will always be your closest person."

Jiang Kuo's promise made Su Chen'an's mind confused.

Although he sobered up, Jiang Kuo's guarantees made Su Chenan feel like he was still living in a dream.

"Are you true to what you said? Grandfather, then why... why did you recommend Su Lixiao as the crown prince in front of many court officials?"

After going around, Su Chen'an still asked what he wanted to ask the most.

His grandfather Jiang Kuo kept saying that he was looking for him for his own good, but in the end he chose Su Lixiao.

He doesn't understand why this is called for his own good?

"Fifth Prince, how could the situation in the court be shaken by the old minister's words? Even if I don't stand up and propose that King Li be the crown prince, then other ministers will stand up and say the same thing."

"On the surface, I am the one who supports the establishment of King Li as the crown prince, but in fact, the one who wants to establish King Li is His Majesty."

Jiang Kuo pretended to be stupid in the court. After so many years of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, he had already figured out the thoughts of the monarch and his subjects in the court.

"The remnants of the Western Xinjiang were wiped out by King Li. Empress Yuan was accused by Concubine Dong. After such incidents were suppressed, His Majesty already felt guilty towards Queen Li and his son, but Queen Yuan was dead and had no way to compensate him. His Majesty had to compensate King Li for all his guilt."

People don’t know that it is actually very simple to get the honor and glory of the royal family. Either make Your Majesty really like you or make Your Majesty feel guilty towards you.

"Fifth Prince, I came forward to propose this matter. Your Majesty will naturally attach great importance to me because of his actions of selecting talents regardless of their closeness and alienation. With His Majesty's attention, I can secretly cultivate power for you in the court."

"Maternal grandfather, are you doing all this really for me?"

Su Chenan was surprised.

He didn't expect that Jiang Kuo did all this for him.

"Of course it's for the fifth prince! You are the son of Concubine Jiang and my grandson. If I assist King Li ascend the throne as the emperor, he will not eventually regard me as the closest person!"

Jiang Kuo said with a smile.

"But if I take you to the throne, the ending will be very different! You are my grandson, and you will definitely protect your mother in the future, so that our Jiang family will become the first famous family in Kyoto!"

Jiang Kuo knew in his heart whether Su Lixiao or Su Chen'an was closer to him.

He could not give up his daughter and the fifth prince, and instead went to support Su Lixiao.

"My grandfather, I misunderstood you."

Su Chenan has finally learned about his grandfather’s painstaking efforts.

All the worries that had accumulated in his heart today were now wiped out. He felt so frustrated that he had been in a day, and now he was extremely happy!

"My grandfather, Su Lixiao is now the prince, and I am still a prince without a title. How can I compete with Su Lixiao?"

Su Chen'an asked Jiang Kuo for advice.

Now, he still knows that he has not been betrayed by everyone, and that he has a resourceful grandfather by his side. Su Chen'an naturally won't let himself be depressed all the time.

"Fifth Prince, you can also take advantage of Your Majesty's guilt."

Jiang Kuo pointed to Su Chen'an.

"Sound guilt?" The more Su Chenan heard, the less he understood. "My father never took me seriously when I was young, so he would not feel any guilt towards me like he treated Su Lixiao!"

Su Chenan knew clearly that he was nothing in his father's heart.

"Fifth Prince, don't be discouraged if you want this matter. Be calm when you encounter something." Jiang Kuo saw that Su Chenan was eager to know the answer, so he had to comfort him.

Although Su Chenan sobered up a little bit of alcohol, he was not sober enough after all.

"Tomorrow morning, after your highness has rested, go to the harem to pay tribute to Empress Jiang. Then you will tell your mother what we have just told you. Empress Jiang will naturally understand the meaning of the old minister's words.

"

Jiang Kuo said a few more words to Su Chen'an before leaving the palace.

Before leaving, he cut off all the servants in the palace who had seen Su Chen'an talk nonsense after being drunk. In this way, Su Chen's crazy posture in the palace would no longer be heard into His Majesty's ears.

After Su Chenan sobered up, he remembered all the instructions from his grandfather Jiang Kuo in his heart.

He went to the palace early in the morning and said the words his grandfather told his mother. Sure enough, Concubine Jiang was able to understand the meaning of those words in an instant.

"Chen'an, you can leave this matter to your mother!"

Concubine Jiang assured the fifth prince.

It was afternoon that day.

Concubine Jiang took the palace servants she served in the palace to go to the small Buddhist temple in the palace to burn incense and pray for blessings.

Not only that, Concubine Jiang also stayed in the small Buddhist temple to copy scriptures since that day.

This matter was not a big deal, and His Majesty had never cared about what Concubine Jiang did, but after he turned over the Jiang Concubine Jiang's brand twice, Jiang Concubine politely refused, His Majesty became suspicious of Concubine Jiang's actions...

Then, His Majesty sent someone to investigate Concubine Jiang.

After the palace servant investigated Concubine Jiang, His Majesty learned that Concubine Jiang was shirking responsibility and was unwilling to see him because Concubine Jiang was bathing and fasting.

When copying scriptures, those who recite scriptures need to be sincere. In addition, they also need to respect the gods.

Because Concubine Jiang copied scriptures to Queen Yuan and commemorated Queen Yuan's wronged soul, she kept avoiding him.

"Gu used to persuade Dong and Su Yiting, and how much he felt indebted to Jiang Fei Su Chen'an and his son."

After hearing the palace maid’s reply, His Majesty had carefully pondered the way he got along with Concubine Jiang for so many years.

"From now on, all the affairs in the harem will be handled by Concubine Jiang for now."

Your Majesty is determined to give the power to govern the six palaces to Concubine Jiang.

Once Dong died, he was unwilling to establish another new life. The living Concubine Jiang was the most important concubine in the harem.
