Does the First Prince want to fight for the throne?

Answer 1

First, he had to mention the Great Prince's background. His mother, Lady Ning, was a slave girl of the Eastern Wasteland. Her status was low. When she was pregnant, the Empress Dowager did not allow her to enter the harem. It was Ye Qingmei who protected her. Thus, regardless of status or bloodline, it was destined that the First Prince would never become the heir. The First Prince knew this very well and had accepted reality, so he had never thought of fighting for the throne.
The Great Prince's personality was also very similar to Lady Ning's. He was frank and straightforward, and very loyal to the Qing Kingdom and the Emperor.(Later, when the Crown Prince, Second Prince, Eldest Princess, and the others rebelled, it was also the Great Prince and Fan Xian who led troops to fight to the death.)
In the early stages, he was sent by the Qing Emperor to guard the border because of his bravery. He could not return to the capital without an edict. Later, he returned to the capital because he married the Northern Qi Princess. His army was disbanded by the Qing Emperor so that the Great Prince had no power to rely on in Jingdou. In any case, after the Qing Emperor's various tricks, the Great Prince's heart toward the Qing Emperor had turned cold and he had become an ally with Fan Xian. In the end, Dongyi belonged to the Qing Kingdom. The Great Prince took his mother, Lady Ning, and his wife to station troops in charge of Dongyi. On the one hand, he was Fan Xian's helper to watch over this place. On the other hand, he was taking his mother to return to her roots and stay away from the center of power.
