The King of Chu galloped all the way back to his palace.
In the backyard, Feng Zheng was coaxing the child, holding brother Cheng, who was more than three months old, in his arms, sitting next to brother Sheng, who was just four years old. Brother Sheng just played with his younger brother for a while, and now he is playing Jiu Lianhuan, with his head lowered, his face is chubby, his small mouth is pouting, and his fat fingers are constantly poking around, very serious.
Feng Zheng stared at his eldest son intently. At the beginning of the twelfth year last year, she figured it out and went to the palace to deliver a letter to Empress Li. After half a month, Empress Li became ill. Feng Zheng thought that Empress Li would ask the emperor to call Sheng Ge'er into the palace during her illness, but there was no news from the palace, and Empress Li's illness was almost cured.
When is Queen Li going to speak, or does she think it is too difficult to speak and give up temporarily
Feng Zheng hoped it was the latter. If Queen Li gave up on her own, even if they didn't offend Queen Li, if something happened to the prince in the future, at least Queen Li would not fall into the trap, and she would try to persuade the prince to change his temper. In the past, it was just the husband and wife, and if the prince made a fuss, it would be a big deal that she would be punished with the prince, but now...
"Mother, look!" But it was Brother Sheng who successfully untied the third ring and happily showed off to his mother.
"Brother Sheng is really smart." Feng Zheng boasted with a smile.
Brother Sheng grinned, then lowered his head, and shook Jiu Lianhuan towards the younger brother in his mother's arms, meaning to let the younger brother take a look. When the golden rings touched each other, there was a ding ding sound. Brother Cheng stared at his brother's Jiu Lianhuan with good eyes, and suddenly stretched out his little hand, wanting to play. Brother Sheng shoved Jiulianhuan into his younger brother's hands without hesitation.
"Can't eat it!" Brother Sheng hurriedly stopped him.
Feng Zheng looked at it with a smile. At this moment, the voice of the maids saluting suddenly came from the yard, and the prince came back. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something suddenly, Feng Zheng's face turned pale all of a sudden, he subconsciously put Brother Cheng on the couch, wanting to hug the eldest son, but Brother Sheng didn't know his mother's heart, so he turned to his younger brother's side. , continued to coax his younger brother, and sat with his back to his mother.
Feng Zheng could only touch her son's small shoulders. Listening to the approaching footsteps, Feng Zheng quickly pinched her cheeks. After the pain, she felt a lot of heat. Only in this way could her face turn red and the prince would not be suspicious. , As for why the prince came back so early... Feng Zheng turned his head to look at the door, but heard the sound of eager footsteps stopping behind the curtain. He seemed to be hesitating, and only came in after a while. Feng Zheng showed a surprised smile in time and asked, "Why did the lord come back so early?"
She wore a lotus-colored robe and sat next to the two children with a smile on her face, no different from usual. The King of Chu felt guilty and did not dare to look his wife in the eye, so he turned to his eldest son. Brother Sheng just realized that his father had come home early, and immediately left his younger brother, who could not crawl, and happily ran to the couch: "Father, King !"
The King of Chu hugged his eldest son. After a year, the eldest son was four years old. The King of Chu could not remember how many times he had hugged his son, but he knew that in this life, he would never forget today. The little boy, he originally planned to start enlightenment after the eldest son's birthday this year, but the father's will, the eldest son was forced to grow up all of a sudden.
The King of Chu was very uncomfortable, and his heart was very uncomfortable. What kind of father was he, and he couldn't even stay with his own son.
But he had no choice, who made him the son of someone else? Lao Tzu robs his woman, he can fight, Lao Tzu wants a grandson, he has no reason not to give it.
When Feng Zheng saw her husband's expression, she understood that the sword that had been hanging in her heart had finally fallen. She could not say why, but she was relieved. It has been seventy-six days since Queen Li spoke with her last year. During these seventy-six days, she has been tense all the time, reluctant to bear her son. You should also be careful to control your emotions and not let your husband find out.
In the past two months, Feng Zheng has not slept peacefully all night. In his dreams, Queen Li or various monsters and ghosts robbed her of her son. What happened after her son entered the palace. Well now, her brother Sheng must enter the palace, she doesn't need to be in a dilemma anymore, she just needs to cry, she just needs to be reluctant.
But she still needs a reason, a reason to cry.
It was already raining in his heart, Feng Zheng's face was flawless, and he asked her husband urgingly, "My lord? Is there something wrong in the palace?"
The King of Chu raised his head and met his wife's puzzled and blank eyes. He held his son in one hand and clenched a fist on his side with the other hand. The blue veins on the back of his hand were exposed. After a long time, he said with difficulty: "In the early morning, the emperor has decreed that he wants to promote his brother into the palace. Nurture it yourself."
Feng Zheng was stunned, the emperor raised it himself
After the accident, Feng Zheng turned around immediately. How could the emperor have time to take care of his little grandson? At this time, Feng Zheng no longer had any doubts about Empress Li's words. For such a young empress, who was only three or four years older than her, she could coax the emperor to make a decree when he was only ill. In his own name, this kind of doting, Concubine Wu Gui and Concubine Hui, even with Concubine Shu, is incomparable.
Feng Zheng laughed. Empress Li could easily control the emperor, which was a good thing for her. In the future, if her husband got into trouble, there would be people in the palace who would speak for her husband.
The King of Chu saw his concubine laugh, crying while laughing. Those clear eyes seemed to have turned into two springs of water, and tears were pouring out one after another. The King of Chu was heartbroken like a knife. Just as he was going to appease his wife and apologize for his incompetence, a loud cry suddenly came from his arms: "I won't enter the palace..."
Brother Sheng was still young, and he couldn't understand a lot of what his parents said, but he understood what "entering the palace to raise" meant, just like his aunt wanted him to live by her side, his grandfather also wanted him to enter the palace. Brother Sheng doesn't want to go, he doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to live in his own home and stay by his mother's side every day!
"Mother, I'm not going to the palace!" Pushing away the bad father who was going to send him into the palace, Brother Sheng cried and threw himself into his mother's arms and hugged him tightly, as if he was going to get back into his mother's belly again. , so that no one can rob him. Feng Zheng hugged his son, who was crying so loudly, and buried his head on his son's small shoulder. Finally, he was able to cry out all the bitterness and bitterness that he had been holding back for more than two months.
One of the mothers was weeping, the other was sobbing, the King of Chu raised his head, but was a step too late, and things rolled down on both sides. The King of Chu wiped it indiscriminately, picked up Brother Cheng, who had been brought to tears by his mother's brother, and went to the ear room to coax his son in person. But people in the ear can still hear the cry of the eldest son, each sound like a knife in his heart.
The cry was intermittent and lasted for a quarter of an hour before it completely subsided.
The King of Chu knew that his wife was definitely trying to coax his brother. She always coaxed the child. The son listened to her. . What is she saying to her son now? The King of Chu stared at the window blankly. For the first time, he was not relieved because she could coax his son. He impulsively hoped that she would not be able to coax him. don't want…
As soon as the thought came up, the King of Chu was shocked, and he looked down at the little son in his arms who was being coaxed by the nurse. The father likes grandsons, and now he has two sons, not the older ones, and most of them will be younger ones. Brother Sheng should remember his parents. He knows that his parents are the closest people. 1 month old bro...
The King of Chu closed his eyes and accepted it.
Going to the room, Brother Sheng's eyes became walnuts from crying. Feng Zheng was no better than his son, but she had already prepared and cried a lot. The resentment faded, and her reason returned. The imperial decree has been issued, what is the use of crying, the most urgent task is to reason with my son. Holding his son's little hand and kissing him, Feng Zheng shook his son gently and said softly, "Brother Sheng, your father has you and a younger brother, and the second uncle and third uncle have daughters, so he is by the emperor's grandfather's side. There are no cute little children, are there?"
Brother Sheng blinked and reminded his mother, "Neither did the fourth uncle."
Feng Zheng smiled: "So the fourth uncle also likes you and wants to take you to their house."
Brother Sheng was unhappy and went back into his mother's arms.
Feng Zheng endured his reluctance and continued: "The imperial grandfather has four sons, and now the four sons do not live with him. If the imperial grandfather does not have filial piety by his side, he will have no appetite to eat. If he does not eat well, he will get sick easily. Do you want your grandfather to get sick?"
Brother Sheng immediately shook his head, he liked the imperial grandfather, and if the imperial grandfather didn't rob him, he would like it even more.
"As long as Brother Sheng enters the palace to live with the grandfather, the grandfather will not get sick." Feng Zheng kissed his son's swollen eyes and whispered, "When you enter the palace, Brother Sheng will listen to the grandfather, you are obedient. Now, the imperial grandfather will let you go home once every ten days, and then my mother will make you your favorite sauce elbow, and give you the whole thing, so that your father won't rob it."
Brother Sheng's eyes lit up, he likes to eat elbows, but every time he eats a little, his mother will not let him eat, and the rest will be robbed by the father.
"Mother will also bring your younger brother into the palace to see you and let you play with your younger brother." Feng Zheng laughed, taking advantage of his own son's mind to secretly wipe away tears.
"And a younger sister!" Brother Sheng said nervously, he also liked younger sister Zhaozhao from the third uncle's family.
Feng Zheng nodded again and again: "Brother Sheng didn't let his grandfather get sick, he just made a great contribution, which is even bigger than your father leading the army to fight. Brother Sheng is only four years old and you are so powerful, younger brothers and sisters will like you more. ."
Brother Sheng looked at his mother, imagining his younger siblings envy him together, and he looked forward to entering the palace to accompany his grandfather more and more.
The son is small and easy to coax. After entering the palace, Empress Li must have more ways to make her son happy. Feng Zheng hugged her son tightly. , I just hope that my son can come back to me as soon as possible, and don't forget her mother.
That night, Brother Sheng slept with his father and mother, and was tired from playing with his father. The boy leaned on his mother's arms and slept sweetly.
"I'm sorry." King Chu hugged his wife from behind and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm useless."
How could Feng Zheng blame her husband? She only asked her husband to stay in the dark forever, never to know that Queen Li became "ill" after she signaled it.
One of the couple felt guilty for concealing it, and the other felt guilty for not being able to help her keep her son. Although they were reluctant to part with their son, their feelings for each other were not affected. The other three palaces are different. The fourth prince, Prince Gong’s, and Prince Gong and Princess Li Mulan still despise each other, but they were stimulated by the events of the Zao Dynasty. Prince Gong suddenly wanted a son. He didn’t ask his father to raise him. It's a pity that any elder brother wants a son, but Li Mulan doesn't want to have a son. Instead, he dislikes King Gong's impulsiveness twice that night, causing her to take an extra bath.
In Prince Rui's mansion, Prince Rui stepped into the main courtyard of the princess again. He wanted a son, and Princess Rui also wanted it. The couple had a rare harmony.
Shouwang's mansion, it was quiet at night, Song Jianing felt uncomfortable for his sister-in-law Feng Zheng, and worried for himself. Leaning on his own man's arms, he said uneasily: "Father, I seem to like Zhao Zhao very much..." The daughter is so beautiful, recalling Emperor Xuande holding her daughter She couldn't put it down, Song Jianing was afraid that one day Emperor Xuande would also order to rob her Zhaozhao.
The little princess was stupid and cute, Zhao Heng was speechless, and finally touched her head soothingly: "No, don't worry."
The father is not so busy, and the one who really wants to raise his brother is Queen Li, who is only one year older than him.
Thinking of Queen Li, Zhao Heng's eyes turned cold.
