Empress Wei's body under her phoenix robe trembled slightly, she was angry.
She never expected that one day her most beloved grandson would threaten her.
"You are really nice!"
Zhao Zuo said: "Grandmother, grandson is not good at all. If it is good, I won't make you angry here today."
Empress Wei snorted, but did not speak.
Zhao Zuo said again: "Grandmother, grandson is forced to. What you asked the Wei family to do at the beginning was all recorded on the head of grandson by the king of Jin. Because of this, the marriage between grandson and Miss Chen was banned. King Jin is messing up. If there is no such thing, there will be no marriage between the grandson and the girl from the Wang family. Without this matter from the Wang family, maybe the matter of the father and mother and concubine will not happen. Naturally, there will be no such thing as a girl from the Wang family. The second marriage of the daughter, and the abolition of the father and king.
"The grandson has changed from a majestic grandson of the emperor to Prince Hui's son, and the reputation of Prince Hui's mansion has been completely ruined by his father. No matter how hard the grandson tries, he can't clean it up. Now the grandson has been abandoned by the emperor's grandfather. After being abandoned by the Wei family, and now even you have abandoned your grandson, what should you do to your grandson."
Zhao Zuo spoke in a weeping voice, which was touching, but when he listened carefully, he could hear a lot of nonsense.
According to this, all of this should be blamed on Empress Wei and Duke Wei's mansion. Shouldn't it be Hui Wang and his wife who committed crimes that made their son implicated? Or Zhao Zuo himself is not as good as others.
If it were the past, Empress Wei would empathize and feel pity for her, but Zhao Zuo's previous words hurt her most sensitive nerve, and she was only angry except for anger. However, Empress Wei was able to stay in the palace for many years, so it was naturally not a good thing, so her expression changed very quickly, and her voice softened.
"You have to know that although the imperial grandmother is the queen, but your great-grandfather is still there, the Wei family has never been able to count on what the imperial grandmother said. Your father and king are useless, and your imperial uncles are all eyeing. Great-grandfather also felt that your third uncle was more confident, so he turned around and helped your third uncle. Your father and your third uncle are brothers. If your third uncle can really sit in that position one day, he will definitely not treat you badly. You. On the contrary, if your other uncles sit in that position, neither you nor your father, including your third uncle, will end well."
"Then why not the grandson? Originally, the imperial grandfather planned to pass on the throne to the grandson, but it was just because something went wrong. My father and the third uncle are brothers, and the third uncle is the grandson's uncle. If the grandson If he can reach that position, he will definitely not treat third uncle badly, why can't he be grandson!" Zhao Zuo said very aggrieved.
Empress Wei wanted to stabilize Zhao Zuo, and patiently explained: "Why don't you understand, kid? If your grandfather really liked you, how could he abolish your father's position as prince. From that When people come back, it is doomed that others will never have another chance.”
Zhao Zuo was taken aback, and asked, "You mean Uncle Wu Huang?"
Empress Wei nodded.
"This is why the emperor's grandmother ordered the people in the respect room to deal with the fifth emperor's uncle like that? It's also why the emperor's grandmother ordered the Wei family to give that kind of medicine to the fifth emperor's uncle?" Zhao Zuo seemed a little dazed like a parrot God spoke.
In fact, he should have known it in his heart long ago. If the imperial grandfather really liked him, he would not abolish his father's crown prince, but he always remembered how the imperial grandfather treated him well and had high hopes for him. There is still hope. But when Empress Wei said this sentence so plainly, he had a heart-wrenching realization.
"Why? Why must it be him! The imperial grandfather doesn't treat him differently."
Empress Wei smiled wryly, and lowered her voice, "Because your fifth emperor's uncle's mother is your grandfather's favorite woman." Because Emperor Hongjing has always done things like this, and few people have ever known what he likes and cares about. You only take it as what he likes, but he actually treats it like a shoestring, and you only take it as what he doesn't like, but you don't know that he puts it on the top of your heart, and people will never be able to figure it out.
She has also been his woman all his life, and it took him many years to understand. But so what if he understood, she had already penetrated into his heart, and she couldn't dig it out or erase it. It took her a long time to understand how the living fight against the dead. If she had known...
"Grandson understands."
Zhao Zuo didn't stay any longer, and left as if heartbroken.
After he left, Hong Rang walked in from the door, and a gloomy look flashed in Empress Wei's eyes: "This kid knows too much."
"What does the lady mean?"
"Well, Prince Hui is just such a stable son. If he is gone, Prince Hui's mansion will really be in ruins. Find someone to watch him, and don't let him cause trouble."
"Where is King Jin?"
"Now it's the cusp of the storm, and it's not easy to do anything. Father is wooing allied courtiers to see if he can invite the acting king to be the crown prince. If it can be done, it's fine, if it can't be done. Let's talk about it. The government is like a tiger that has lost its claws and claws, nothing to be afraid of."
Hong Rang nodded, but did not speak.
"Shen Luan's son is just like herself. He always likes to pretend, and he also likes to put his best effort into pretending. He pretends not to fight. Since he doesn't want to fight, it's best not to fight forever!"
Zhao Zuo, who had just left Kunning Palace, turned his head and glanced at Gong Yu behind him gloomily, clenching his fists tightly under his sleeves.
Of course he knew that Empress Wei was lying to him. If he was really afraid of King Jin, why did he live in the palace for so many years? At this time, they talk about things, and they talk about a concubine De who has been dead for many years.
To put it bluntly, he had made up his mind. Even if he took out this trick, the queen still decided to stand on the side of the acting king.
Of course Zhao Zuo knew that he couldn't fight against these people headed by Queen Wei, so he took advantage of the situation and made a show and endured it, but he will remember everything today.
Erbao didn't turn over, crawl, and stand earlier than Xiaobao, and naturally he didn't learn to walk earlier than his elder brother.
Fortunately, what Yao Niang meant was that everything is optional, and Erbao can leave whenever he wants.
In fact, Erbao is already able to leave, but he is timid. You see him with a violent and loud voice all day long, but in fact he only dares to let the nanny let go for a few steps. Once the nanny let go, he dare not leave , would rather sit on the ground and crawl than walk.
The nanny supported Erbao and stood there, and Yaoniang squatted not far away with childlike innocence, stretching out her hand to Erbao.
"Come here, mother, give me a hug."
Er Bao was eager to try, wanted to leave but stopped for some reason, it seemed that he really wanted to go to Yaoniang's place, but he also seemed really afraid to leave. He stood there and started howling, the kind that only thunder but not rain, howled at the top of his voice, and looked at Yaoniang pretending to be pitiful.
Here we go again!
Frustrated, Yaoniang stood up and took a piece of cheese milk cake from the kang table, and continued to tease Erbao. Erbao stopped crying immediately and just stared at GaoGao.
"Come here, mother, there are cakes here."
Er Bao pointed at Gao Gao, and murmured something that others could not understand.
Yao Niang took a sip, bit half of the cheese milk cake, and said while eating: "If you don't come again, mother will finish eating."
Erbao was so anxious that he didn't speak anymore, he staggered over with two chubby hands up, and when he was close to Yaoniang, he bumped into her arms.
After teasing Erbao for a while, Yaoniang was very tired, she stood up holding Erbao, came to the kang and sat down. While feeding Erbao to eat cakes, he ordered Hongfei to pour a glass of water.
"Your Majesty, slaves and maidservants will do this kind of work in the future, just watch from the side." Hong Si said from the side.
"I think, the key point is that this kid is too stubborn, he never pays attention to other people teasing him." Only Xiaobao and Yaoniang can tease him, if it is someone else, even if Erbao likes the things you hold in your hand, he will won't come either.
Even Yaoniang didn't know who Er Bao learned from.
As if he knew he was talking about himself, Er Bao showed a big toothless smile. Yaoniang stroked his little head, and Erbao continued to eat cakes with his head down.
"My servant sees that the eldest son is so clever, and only thinks that children are like this. Now that I see the second son, I know that the eldest son is like nothing in a million..."
Before Hong Fei finished speaking, she was interrupted by Hong Silk.
"Shut up, do you know how to speak!" Hong Sian's face was ugly.
Only then did Hongfei come to her senses, and went to see Yaoniang again.
Yaoniang's face was a bit reluctant, she was so frightened that she plopped and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, this servant has no intention of belittling the Second Young Master, this servant just thinks that Your Majesty is working much harder now than when the eldest son was back then, this servant..."
Yao Niang forced a smile and said: "Okay, you have served by my side for many years, I know you have no intentions, get up quickly."
Hong Si went to pull Hong Fei, Hong Fei lowered her head and cried softly: "I really didn't mean it..."
The movement inside alarmed Hongdie, who was ordering the little girls outside to work, and she hurried in: "What's wrong?"
Hongsi winked at her, handed Hongfei to her, and asked her to help him out.
Hongdie knew that Hong Fei must have said something wrong and angered the princess, but the princess had always been a good-tempered person, and she had never seen her lose her temper with a servant. But she also knew that something was wrong, so she helped Hong Fei away without asking any further questions.
The room was quiet, and Erbao was still sitting in Yaoniang's arms eating cakes without any worries.
Hongsi whispered: "Madam, Hongfei has always been outspoken, and you know that she doesn't keep the door open. You must not be angry with her."
"You also said that she is outspoken, Xiaobao is smart, Erbao is stupid..." Saying that, Yaoniang laughed and said: "Look, even a mother like me accidentally said that, let alone someone else. Er Bao is not sensible now, if he is sensible, I don't know what he will think when he hears this..."
"What do you think?" Suddenly a male voice sounded, but it was King Jin who came in at some time.
Yaoniang hurriedly gave the second treasure to Hongsi, stood up and greeted her: "It's nothing, I'm chatting with Hongsi. Why did His Highness come back so early today?"
King Jin glanced at her, then looked at Hongsi again: "Come on!"
Hongsi was at a loss, looked at Yaoniang and then went to King Jin, then lowered her head and told what happened just now.
Yao Niang pretended to be innocent and explained with a smile: "Your Highness, as you know, that girl Hong Fei has always been outspoken. She also loves me and knows that she is wrong..."
At the end of the explanation, looking at King Jin's eyes, she couldn't speak anymore.
King Jin came to sit down on the kang, and ordered Fu Cheng who came in from behind: "Pull Hong Fei out to beat the ten boards, and in the future, if anyone talks about the two young masters for not knowing the door, he will know what will happen."
"yes."
"Your Highness, Hong Fei doesn't mean it either."
Jin Wang glanced at Yaoniang: "Whether you have the heart or not, the words come from her mouth. The dragon has nine sons, each of which is different, let alone Xiaobao and Erbao. Xiaobao is smart, and Erbao is the younger brother. Inevitably, it will be rendered mediocre, if the servants don't talk nonsense... "
Just as he was talking, the torture bench outside had already been set up to start beating.
Fu Cheng also understood King Jin's meaning well, and all the slaves and maids who had no work at hand were called out to watch the punishment. Against the sound of the board, Fucheng's slightly shrill voice echoed. Although he didn't specify it clearly, the meaning he wanted to express has been fully expressed.
Yaoniang was terrified when she heard it inside, and finally the sound of the board stopped, she hurriedly said to Hongsi: "Go and take some of the jasper ointment to Hongfei, find a little girl to take good care of her, and let her come back after she recovers." High value."
Hongsi nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Hongfei is not that stupid person, she can understand His Highness's meaning, and this servant will first thank you for your kindness on her behalf."
After the red silk left, Yaoniang complained: "You are too, in fact, it is not impossible to change the way, why bother to beat people."
King Jin snorted and didn't want to talk to her.
In fact, thinking about it, the king of Jin has always dealt with the affairs of the palace with simple and rude methods, but it has to be denied that it is very useful.
Yaoniang also knew this truth, she looked down at Erbao, stroked her son's little head, and sighed deeply: "I'm afraid it will take more effort to teach Erbao in the future."
What Chacha Yaoniang said is also the reason why King Jin would make a fuss. He has experienced all kinds of crushing between brothers, and he knows that the so-called brotherhood is deceiving the world. He doesn't want his son to experience all this.
At this time, Hongdie walked in: "Madam, just now someone came to report that Uncle Su wanted to see you.
