Chapter 149 The Emperor’s uncle wouldn’t do this!
In the imperial palace, the queen's panic subsided a little after she returned to her own palace.
She knew very well that although she had escaped danger temporarily this time, the crisis was not over.
She sat on the couch, her eyes revealing a hint of viciousness, "Prince Chen, today's matter will not be let go like this."
And in the court, Shen Huaichuan also heard the outcome of this matter.
After court dismissal, he came to Prince Chen's Palace.
After seeing Mu Chenye and Shen Tangan, he said with some concern: "My Lord, Princess, if we fail to overthrow the Queen this time, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future."
Mu Chenye smiled faintly, "Brother Shen, don't worry. I have a plan. Although today's event seems to have failed, it has actually achieved my goal."
Shen Huaichuan looked at Mu Chenye in confusion, and Mu Chenye told him his plan.
After Shen Huaichuan heard this, he couldn't help but praise him again and again, "The prince is indeed far-sighted, and it was Huaichuan who was worrying too much."
As the days passed, the Prince Chen's Mansion remained peaceful and harmonious, and Shen Tangan's belly grew bigger day by day.
And beneath this calm appearance, various forces are competing secretly, and a bigger storm is quietly brewing.
Ever since the Queen's accident, the Prince really seemed to have grown up a lot overnight.
The former prince lived a pampered life under the protection of the palace.
He has been smart since he was young, but he can't help being a little willful.
As he grew up, he developed a spoiled character because of the queen's favor and the flattery of people around him.
When encountering problems, instead of thinking about how to properly solve them, they use their status and position to exert pressure.
In terms of academics, although he had famous teachers such as the Taifu, he was often lazy and had only a superficial understanding of the ways of governing a country and lacked in-depth thinking.
However, the Queen's incident this time was like a thunderclap, exploding in the Prince's heart.
When he saw that the queen was in trouble and her former glory was gone, he was filled with shock and panic.
He began to realize that he could no longer act recklessly as before because he was responsible for the future of the entire royal family.
Since then, the prince seemed like a different person.
He got up early every day, listened carefully to the Taifu's lectures, thought deeply about every problem, and actively discussed strategies for governing the country with the Taifu.
When dealing with court affairs, he was no longer impatient and impulsive, but learned to analyze calmly and make decisions after weighing the pros and cons.
In his interactions with ministers, the prince also became more humble and polite.
Take the initiative to ask questions to experienced ministers and humbly accept their suggestions.
He no longer denies different opinions outright, but instead seriously considers their rationality and follows the good ones.
As time went by, the prince's efforts gradually paid off.
He became more and more adept at handling affairs, which not only won him the respect of his ministers but also allowed the emperor to see his growth and progress.
On this day, in the court, the ministers were discussing state affairs.
The prince, dressed in solemn and gorgeous clothes, stood aside with a calm expression, listening carefully to the speeches of the ministers.
When a minister raised a difficult question, the prince thought for a moment and then expressed his views clearly and logically.
His words were steady and showed unique thinking, which attracted the attention of the ministers present.
The emperor looked at the prince's performance with a look of relief in his eyes.
After the ministers finished discussing, the emperor nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the prince, and he said, "The prince has made great progress in recent days. He acts steadily and thinks carefully, and has the demeanor of a king. I am very pleased."
The emperor's voice echoed in the court, and all the ministers echoed it, praising the prince's growth.
Upon hearing the emperor's praise, the prince quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, father, for your praise. I will work harder and live up to your expectations."
The emperor looked at the prince with satisfaction and raised his hand slightly, motioning him to sit down.
After court session, the emperor called the prince to his study alone.
The emperor sat behind his desk, looking at the prince in front of him, his eyes full of expectations.
"My son, do you know why I praise you today?"
The prince lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "I guess it is my performance in recent days that has made the emperor see my growth, and the emperor has high hopes for me."
The emperor nodded and said, "That's right. Your mother's matter has touched you. I am very pleased that you can learn from it and become more mature and stable. But you must remember that as the crown prince and the future ruler of a country, you have a great responsibility. You must not only learn to handle state affairs, but also learn to control people's hearts and balance the forces of all parties."
The prince listened carefully to the emperor's teachings and secretly made up his mind to become a qualified crown prince.
As the emperor's praise for the prince spread, the atmosphere in the palace quietly changed.
When the queen heard the emperor praising the prince, she felt both happy and worried.
What makes people happy is that the prince has finally received the emperor's recognition, but what worries people is whether the prince can keep his footing in this complicated situation.
All parties involved also began to re-examine the prince, thinking about how to get along with him in the future situation.
The queen thought about it in the palace and decided to call the prince to her palace.
Soon, the prince came to the queen's bedroom respectfully.
The queen looked at the increasingly steady prince in front of her and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
"My son, I have seen your recent progress. I am very happy that you have made such a transformation in such a short period of time."
The prince bowed his head slightly and said modestly: "Thank you for your praise, mother. I just did what I should do."
The queen nodded slightly and continued, "You are now acting steadily and thoughtfully, and you have won praise from the emperor and ministers in the court. But you must not be proud and complacent, as you still have a long way to go in the future."
The prince listened carefully to the queen's teachings, his eyes firm.
The Queen changed the subject and her expression became serious. "My son, you must remember that the current situation is complicated. Although you have made progress, you still cannot let your guard down. Especially the Prince of Chen, he is ambitious. He failed to overthrow the Queen Mother this time, and he will definitely make some moves in the future. You must be careful of him and must not be fooled by his appearance."
"Mother, the emperor's uncle would not do this. Mother, you really misunderstood the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle is an upright person. He cares about the world and is definitely not the ambitious person that mother said he was."
The prince looked up at her in confusion. If the emperor's uncle was determined to sit on the supreme throne, no one would be qualified to compete with him.
Although he didn't know what his uncle was thinking, he could feel that his uncle treated him sincerely.
Whenever he had questions, he would ask his uncle and he would get answers. His uncle would always teach him everything he knew.
He absolutely did not believe that such an uncle would have any second thoughts.
