The Ninth Prince hates.
What he hates most now is not his father, nor Concubine Jing, nor the Crown Prince. But the Queen Mother.
Yes, that’s the Queen Mother.
How much you loved him in the past, now you hate him so much.
He remembered that when he was very young, that person held him in his arms and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
He once thought that he was the happiest prince with his grandmother protecting him like this.
In fact, to be honest, the Ninth Prince was not a capable prince, so he naturally longed for the position of prince.
Because of the indoctrination from his mother and concubine, he was actually not so sure.
He felt inferior to his brothers.
Even when his mother-in-law was still there, he felt that he couldn't be a prince, but it was okay if he couldn't be a prince.
He has a mother-in-law who loves him, a grandmother who loves him, and he is living a good life.
But suddenly it changed.
His mother-in-law is dead, and he hates everyone.
But how many years has it been
His grandmother, who used to love him so much, stopped paying attention to him.
Why do you love that motherless thing? He still has the blood of the Li family, so it’s so useless
He couldn't be a prince, so he was rejected like this
After all, he was still young, and it was impossible to figure out many things. In the past, he was so pampered by Zhengchong Yi and the Queen Mother, but he fell from heaven overnight.
He's really not used to it.
But even an adult might not be able to bear such a thing.
Therefore, the person the Ninth Prince hated the most at this time was the Queen Mother.
I hate her so much that I want her to die. If it weren't for her, my mother and concubine wouldn't think so much.
The Ninth Prince was lying on the couch at night and thinking, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The reunions of others were indeed desolate for him. On the Mid-Autumn Festival night last year, he didn't sleep all night.
But now, no matter whether he cried or shed tears, no one cared about him.
It can't be like this, he can't be the only one feeling sad.
Thinking such thoughts, the Ninth Prince gradually fell asleep.
It happened four days later.
It was the eighth day of August.
Today is Concubine Shun's birthday, and a banquet was held at Yihe Palace. Naturally, Shen Chuliu and others went.
After all, it was the birthday of the second-grade concubine, and the little princes and princesses in the harem all said auspicious words.
Of course, the prince didn't come.
The princess who left the cabinet did not come either, but only sent people to send congratulatory gifts.
When the news came, a banquet had just started here.
A eunuch came in anxiously: "Queen, something happened. The Ninth Prince threw the Thirteenth Prince into the lake."
Everyone was shocked.
The Queen quickly asked: "How is it? Have you fished it out? Where is it?"
"Go back to the Queen Mother, you have already returned to the Queen Mother," the eunuch said.
"Seeing that this slave is so anxious that he can't even speak, can you say it again? It was the Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince who were playing, and the Thirteenth Prince lost his footing and fell into the water?" Shen Chuliu said.
The eunuch stuttered and knelt down quickly: "Yes, yes, my servant made a mistake in a moment of impatience. That's how it is, that's how it is."
"In that case, it's okay. Concubine Shun's birthday today has also been delayed. Concubine and the ninth concubine should come with me to have a look, and the others will leave first," the queen said.
Concubine Shun said hurriedly that she didn't dare. Everyone dispersed, those who wanted to go quickly.
On the way back, Li Meiren came over and said to Yang Meiren, "Concubine Jing, you are telling lies!"
Before Yang Meiren could say anything, Zhuang Meiren snorted: "How else could you change from Zhaoyi to Beauty? You are stupid!"
Li Meiren was not happy: "How did you become a beauty from Jieyu?"
"Oh, what are you arguing about?" Yang Meiren was helpless.
"I don't have the ability, but if I have the ability, why don't I play with you?" Zhuang Meiren snorted.
"Come on, if you want to play with others, you have to be led by others." Li Meiren said again.
Yang Meiren shook her head helplessly: "If you don't leave, I will leave."
The two men snorted and wanted to leave.
After a while, Li Meiren asked again: "So why are you talking nonsense?"
"Ouch! What a brain! Even if the Ninth Prince really throws people into the lake, then the Ninth Prince is a person with the blood of Empress Dowager Li's family. Is it possible that he needs to be punished?" said Zhuang Meiren.
"That's the truth, but doesn't Empress Dowager Li love the Thirteenth Prince?" Li Meiren was still puzzled.
Zhuang Meiren sighed and stopped: "It's a pimple. The Queen Mother naturally loves the Thirteenth Prince, but she doesn't love the Ninth Prince in her heart? She grew up doting on him. But what did Zhen Chongyi do? It was to murder the concubine. Concubine Jing and her son don't hate her now? She is dead, but the Ninth Prince is her biological son. It's okay if Empress Dowager Li doesn't ask. If it still hurts as before, can Concubine Jing and her son see each other? "
"Sister Guifei is not that kind of person." Yang Meiren retorted.
"I didn't say that the imperial concubine is that kind of person, but isn't that the truth? The Ninth Prince is still young, and he will get married and start a business in the future. Don't we still have to watch His Highness live his life? If Empress Dowager Li loves her more now, he will simply One more point. If you really love me, you should put down your hands!" Zhuang Meiren said.
Yang Meiren nodded.
Li Meiren looked at her for a long time and sighed: "You said you are so smart, why did you fall out of favor?"
Zhuang Meiren rolled her sleeves: "Are you laughing at me? Bah!"
"I'm not laughing at you. It's been a long time since this happened to me, and I know I'm stupid. But you're not stupid either, are you?" Li Meiren said seriously.
Zhuang Meiren rolled up her sleeves and left.
She thought, back then, she had a high self-esteem and thought she was very smart.
If you don't get hit and don't know how to reflect, when you wake up, it will be too late.
Everyone rushed to Ci'an Palace, and the imperial doctor had already arrived.
The emperor is busy today, so he hasn't come yet.
The Queen went first to see the situation. Shen Chuliu looked at the kneeling Ninth Prince outside and had nothing to say.
After a while, Qi Yan came with a group of brothers. Of course, the second and third princes who had left the palace were not there.
Queen Mother Li was helped out, and she first saw the kneeling Ninth Prince. She was so angry and sad that she didn't know how to express it.
Everyone said hello, which gave Queen Mother Li a buffer.
"Everyone, please sit down." Queen Mother Li waved her hand.
Shen Chuliu looked at her and felt that she seemed ten years older.
Ben is also seventy years old, and he looks particularly old now.
"Today is Concubine Shun's birthday, so I'm disturbing you." Queen Mother Li said.
"Don't say that, Queen Mother. I have birthdays every year. Is the Thirteenth Prince okay?" Concubine Shun stood up and asked.
"The child is already weak. Even though it is summer, the lake water is still cold. He has a fever now. He should see an imperial doctor." Empress Dowager Li sighed.
What's more, after being frightened, the child didn't know what to do.
Just got well!
The Ninth Prince below was kneeling like that, his back straight, and he didn't feel that he was wrong at all.
He did it on purpose, he deliberately deceived the Thirteenth Prince from the Royal Garden.
Then he was thrown directly into Luming Lake. If he died, the Queen Mother would definitely be sad, as she deserved it.
