"But your father likes such a flattering dog, no, this flattering dog is about to sit on an equal footing with you." Concubine Zhao gouged out Zhong Mingzheng's eyes, "If his title is better than yours, why don't you Isn't it even worse than a dog?"
Zhong Mingzheng listened. The frown became even more severe: "Concubine Mu, if the title of the second child is really better than mine, then what should I do?"
"I don't think so. After all, your father has to take care of our Zhao family's face," Concubine Zhao pondered, while sighing softly. "Your fourth brother's acne has healed up. If you have time, take your fourth brother to pay your respects to your father."
Zhong Mingzheng was a little displeased: "My son has to go to court to discuss matters every day, so how can I have the time to play with my fourth brother?"
"Confused!" Concubine Zhao raised her brows upside down. He slapped Zhong Mingwei hard. "You yourself don't please your father, why don't you be honored by your fourth brother?!"
The fourth prince, Zhong Mingrong, is only eight years old this year. It's the time to be lively and lovely. Very much loved by Long Live God.
"Yes, yes, my son is confused, it's because my son was confused for a while!" Zhong Mingzheng apologized while being busy. While pouring tea for Concubine Zhao Gui, he apologized, "Thank you, Concubine, for thinking about my son. Concubine, please drink tea!"
Compassion Palace.
When Bi Qiao came in, the Empress Dowager Xu was chanting scriptures in the side hall, and Bi Qiao walked over lightly. Whispering something in the Queen Mother's ear, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and raised her hand to Bi Qiao. Bi Qiao was so busy that she helped the Queen Mother up from the futon and walked back to the bedroom.
"Long Live Lord really said in public that he would crown the Second Prince and the Third Prince together?" the Queen Mother walked slowly to the soft couch and sat down, asking Bi Qiao.
"Yes, I said it in front of Concubine Zhao Gui and Concubine Shu. How many people in Baohua Temple listened to the truth, and they must be right," Bi Qiao said, pouring a cup of Lu'an tea for the Queen Mother Come over, "Queen Mother, you have recited the scriptures for so long, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
"Well," the queen mother took a sip of her tea, gently holding the lid of the tea, and said slowly, "The second prince and the third prince are not too young, the second prince is twenty-five this year, and the third prince also has a second son. Twelve, and I have been in the court for so many years, so I should be crowned king, but it is rare to confer the title of two princes at the same time, and these two princes are not the same age, which is rare."
"That's right, I was very surprised when I heard this," Bi Qiao followed suit, and after a pause, Bi Qiao looked at the Queen Mother cautiously and said, "And the meaning of Long Live Lord is probably to give to the two Highnesses. The servants feel that it is inappropriate to have the same status, since the Zhao family must have a higher family background than the Cui family..."
"There's nothing wrong with that," the queen mother pulled her lips shallowly, and then sighed softly, "The third prince was born by the concubine Zhao Gui, who is like the deputy queen, so he has a noble status, and the Zhao family behind him is also very respectable. He is prominent enough, but the second prince also has his own uniqueness, now that Ming Wei has left the court, the second prince has become the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest son is the most respected, and it is reasonable for Long Live Lord to value him."
Seeing her look like this, Bi Qiao felt a little downcast, and said in a low voice: "Whoever he is, how can he compare with the eldest prince? Our Xu family is not a small family like this. Relatively... ”
"Bi Qiao," the Queen Mother frowned slightly, while putting down the teacup in her hand, said in a deep voice, "Don't say what you shouldn't say."
"Yes, yes, this servant has realized his mistake, so he won't dare again in the future." Bi Qiao bowed in a hurry.
"Get up." The queen mother glanced at her, while flicking the prayer beads, she closed her eyes and meditated.
Bi Qiao lightly lit a burner of sandalwood, put it on the small table, and was about to walk out when she heard the Queen Mother stop her again.
"Is Ninggu Pagoda safe and sound?" the queen mother said slowly.
"Yes," Bi Qiao turned to the Queen Mother in a hurry, "Since the Long Live Lord ordered to cut down all the Yutangchun in the palace, whoever is not a human being in the front and rear palaces, naturally understands the Long Live Lord's intentions, and now they have been paying attention. Withdrew Ninggu Tower."
