Princess Linjiang was already worried about Concubine Yu's increasing popularity, and coupled with the constant conflicts between her younger and older sons, her worries and fears accumulated little by little, and she was not happy these days.
Until recently, the emperor had not yet come up with a set of rules for selecting concubines for the princes. Just when I was relieved, I heard that Chu Jingxing was being scolded. I was completely stunned.
Chu Jingxing has been a safe child since he was born.
Let’s not talk about other children. They are always ignorant when they are young, especially boys. No matter how much you reason with them, they are still naughty and want to play in all kinds of ways.
But Chu Jingxing has always been different. At that time, the late emperor was still alive, and the princes and sons of the vassal states all stayed in Beijing to study. Chu Jingxing was the one who studied the most diligently and prudently.
Even the late emperor loved this grandson very much and often brought him around to entertain and cheer him up.
At that time, life in Linjiang Palace was quite good. Seeing this, how could they not be happy
Princess Linjiang became even more proud because of this. They were already a newlywed couple and their relationship was as sweet as honey. With the success of her pregnancy and her son, her relationship with her husband became even better, and it was so good that no one else could interfere.
I still think about that time.
It is precisely because of this that she is dependent on and values her eldest son. In her heart, even if her younger son and daughter are added together, they are not as important as her eldest son.
She usually doesn't say it in her heart, but how could she not know that the eldest son will be the one to inherit the family business in the future.
There are so many difficulties waiting for my eldest son to overcome ahead. Thinking of this, I feel more and more pity for him.
Thinking of this, as soon as his son came into the backyard, he immediately asked someone to invite him over. As soon as he entered the door, he looked at his son once, and after checking him up and down, he was relieved to know that he had not been beaten. "Why did he get scolded like this for no reason?"
How shameless! My husband is really becoming more and more unreasonable. Why can't he just teach his son properly? Why does he have to get so angry
Chu Jingxing refused to say anything, but shook his head and said it was nothing, asking Princess Linjiang not to worry.
How could Princess Linjiang feel at ease? She was almost worried. If she really married a commoner girl to her son, her son would be delayed. Now at this critical moment, he was scolded by King Linjiang again. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the other party was doing bad things.
Chu Jingxing did not look discouraged after being scolded. Instead, he turned around to massage his mother's shoulders and gave her some small things he had collected from outside, telling her: "Mom, don't worry about my affairs. I know everything."
He didn't say anything, but Princess Linjiang thought that he was being so filial even though he had been wronged. After thinking about it, she asked Mother Jin to find out.
How did Mother Jin find out
That was something the prince discussed in his study. Who would have the courage to reveal it
But Mother Jin finally found a way to find out. The attendants around Chu Jingxing leaked the information, saying that the young prince had informed the prince, so Chu Jingxing was scolded.
Mother Jin was very cautious when she reported it.
Princess Linjiang didn't react for a long time. Did the young prince go to inform on her
Which little prince
She thought about it for a while. There were only two princes in her family, one was Shen Chen and the other was Chu Jingwu. However, Chu Jingwu was her younger brother, and he would have to be crazy to tell on her.
I am Chu Jingan, but I have not been granted the title of a prince.
Could it be that he is from Prince Duan’s Mansion or Prince Jin’s Mansion outside
She was confused, but Mother Jin was not. She handed her the prepared brown sugar ginger tea and said with lowered eyebrows, "It's our own little prince."
Princess Linjiang was stunned for a long time and could not say anything. After a long while, she exhaled with a pale face: "Is he crazy?!"
Brothers should help each other, how could they be so stupid as to fight among themselves? I told him a few days ago that brothers should work together, but he didn't listen to a word.
She grabbed her clothes and was so angry that she sent someone to call Chu Jingwu over. The first thing she did was to scold him: "You are always said to be smart, but now I can't see how you are smart! Who is your brother? He is the prince of the palace and will take over the palace in the future. How can you go and sue him?"
Princess Linjiang lost her way when she got anxious. She mixed up power and reason in her words, repeating the same thing over and over again: "Don't you know that the people over there are still eyeing us covetously? Yet you are destroying your own brother's career like this!"
She was so angry that her chest hurt, so Mother Jin hurriedly rubbed it for her. Then, she saw Chu Jingwu's gloomy face and was startled again. She winked at the maids who were serving her, and after they left, she also left quietly.
Chu Jingwu sneered: "Mother, you don't even know what my brother did to make father angry, and you come to teach me a lesson?"
Seeing that Princess Linjiang was still furious, he frowned and told her about Chu Jingxing's plot against Li Gui Niang, and added, "It's fine if you did it, but you had to use Second Brother's name to say that Second Brother opened the betting. If someone is really wrong, people will only pick out Second Brother at a glance."
"But don't you think about it, eldest brother? We are all from Linjiang Palace, so who doesn't know who? Even if you put all the blame on second brother, so what? Can it really be a fig leaf that covers up everything?"
Chu Jingwu was furious. He had never mentioned this before in front of King Linjiang.
If this is brought up, King Linjiang might really take action.
When educating sons, most people use sticks and beat them together. This is the case in Prince Duan’s mansion. If the sons are disobedient, they will be obedient after a beating.
Princess Linjiang was shaking with anger. She never expected that in the end, Chu Jingwu was actually complaining just to speak up for Shen Chen. She pointed at him with trembling fingertips and couldn't utter a word.
How can this be said? He raised a son, and it seemed as if he was raised for Princess Changle. He was closer to Shen Chen than to her, his biological mother and brother. They played together like brothers on weekdays, and when things came to the point, he actually sided with Shen Chen!
No wonder the eldest son was scolded.
She only remembered that she was scolded because of Shen Chen's eldest son, and she didn't think deeply about it. She sat on the chair for a long time before she forced a smile: "Go back and reflect on yourself! Think clearly about where you went wrong!"
Chu Jingwu himself couldn’t figure it out.
What Chu Jingxing did was not right, not to mention that it could easily ruin the whole thing. He told his father not to see him get punished. He didn't know where he went wrong to make his mother so angry.
