Prince Jin looked very relaxed when he came in, as if he was neither forced to stand nor ordered to get out, but was summoned from the harem in a good manner.
After the ceremony, he even smiled friendly at Chunjia.
Chunjia's face was expressionless, and she couldn't help but blame her concubine for having such a good temperament. She couldn't help but beat and scold her only biological son.
This guy really looks like he's in trouble.
After listening to the emperor's inquiry, King Jin blinked and said bluntly: "Since the father is in a dilemma, as the saying goes, husband and wife are one, why not consult with the mother and queen? After all, the sons and ministers are young and juniors, so I am afraid that they may not be thoughtful. , for such a big matter, it’s better for your mother to give you detailed information!”
Hearing this, the two princes below him in the palace cast complicated glances at him.
Especially the tenth prince, he secretly cursed in his heart: Fortunately, when we first came in, seeing you greeting us so enthusiastically, we thought you were as kind-hearted as the seventh prince!
Well, it is impossible for the prince in the middle palace to think that the emperor's heir in front of the imperial concubine is a good thing.
But the tenth prince was used to seeing King Qin and others being domineering, and even the seventh prince was alienated from them. When he first met a master like King Jin who took the initiative to show affection, he felt a little fond of him.
However, this good impression was extinguished just after it took off.
What the Queen Mother told the Third Brother was right. None of the brothers and sisters in front of the Queen Mother are good... Even if this fifteen-year-old boy looks young, he still has to be careful in the future, otherwise he doesn’t know how he will do it. sold!
The tenth prince thought so.
The King of Jin allowed his two brothers to stare closely at him without fear, and even advised Chunjia with a considerate look: "Besides, although the eldest brother has always been raised by his mother and concubine, logically, the mother is the legitimate mother! How can any child be taken care of? I was bullied, and my father, the emperor, my mother and my concubine had to come forward, and my mother and concubine didn’t care."
"Fifteenth brother, be careful what you say!" Listening to this obvious words, it implies that the queen is indifferent to King Qin, the bastard. Of course, the third prince and the tenth prince cannot just sit back and watch.
The third prince immediately said, "My mother is also very concerned about my elder brother these days, but after all, the matter involves the previous dynasty, and my mother was afraid that if I spoke rashly, my father would be embarrassed, so I didn't say anything openly."
King Jin nodded in agreement and turned to Danqi: "Yes, father, please listen! Listen! The Queen has been paying attention to this matter. If you don't discuss it with the Queen, how sad will the Queen be?"
Third Prince: "..."
He said calmly, "Mother is also a little tired these days. Knowing that my eldest brother is fine, I should be able to breathe a sigh of relief."
"The Queen Mother is not the Queen Mother." King Jin said innocently, "The Queen Mother only needs to take care of us. The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother to all our brothers and sisters! This time the eldest brother was bullied, the Queen Mother could not take precautions, and for the sake of Have we people thought this through? Otherwise, today the eldest brother will be impeached, tomorrow the second brother will be bullied, and the day after tomorrow it may be your turn, third brother, to be framed! If things go on like this, the heirs of the Tian family will become little pitiful people. What are you like? What does it look like? It is impossible for the Queen to just leave it alone, she must think too much. Rather than wasting energy by asking the Queen to think about things alone in the palace, it is better to ask the father to have a good discussion with the Queen, and maybe the Queen can also give her father some advice. Where does the emperor share his worries?"
"After all, my mother is much older than us, so she must be more thoughtful and thoughtful about things than we are."
"Third brother, don't worry. We are hiding it like this, which makes the mother feel unsure. Believe me, the reason why I have been beaten the most by my mother and concubine is because I want to hide the matter from my mother and concubine!"
"It can be seen that the most taboo thing for a son is to be secretive from his parents!"
"Father, do you think so?"
Chunjia squinted at him, for a moment, and then said calmly: "I will naturally go and talk to your mother alone. Now I am asking for your opinion. Stop talking to me! Don't talk about other things. , don’t use it for dinner tonight!”
This kid didn't know what was wrong with him. If you asked him this, he would tell him that. If he didn't pay attention, he would lead him somewhere.
Knowing that King Jin was not afraid of him, the emperor then said, "I will personally send you to your mother and concubine later, and then tell her about your great feat today!"
"..." King Jin hurriedly put on a serious look, "I don't dare!"
His biological father may not actually whip him, but even if he does, there is a high probability that his biological mother will help find a place for him.
but!
His biological mother really knows how to beat him, and she is extremely skilled and handy... The most important thing is that when he is beaten by his biological mother, he will be beaten. Not only will his biological father not help him seek justice, but he may also gloat from the sidelines. .
Seeing how fearful King Jin was towards Yun Fenghuang, the emperor fell silent again, vaguely remembering that when Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace, it seemed... that he wasn't afraid of himself
Who was she most afraid of at that time
It seems to be Empress Ji Lingzi of the Yuan Dynasty...
Neither mother nor son are good people!
The emperor cursed in his heart and hummed: "Why don't you tell me quickly!"
"Returning to my father, I feel that the truth still needs to be announced." King Jin struggled for a while, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "After all, my father has just told the court that my eldest brother was framed, and this matter There is a real culprit behind the scenes. If it is not announced, the outside world may think that the father is reneging on his words, or even think that the father is deliberately favoring the eldest brother! However, since the real culprit behind the scenes is hard to say, then why don’t we find something easier to talk about? "
Hearing this, Chunjia, the third prince, and the tenth prince looked very subtle.
"Isn't this teaching me to deceive the people of the world?" The emperor had a sullen face and seemed unhappy.
King Jin said: "How can this be deception? In the final analysis, except for the eldest brother who was wronged, who in the world has been violated? In this case, does the truth of this matter matter to them? ? It doesn’t matter at all! In that case, of course it’s up to you, Father, to say whatever is convenient for you.”
"..." Chunjia thought for a moment and said coldly, "Is this how you usually fool your mother and concubine?"
Prince Jin shrank his head subconsciously, and then he denied it with a guilty conscience: "No... I am the most obedient in front of my mother and concubine. How could I treat my mother and concubine like this?"
Chunjia said angrily: "You don't treat your mother and concubine like this, but you tease me like this?"
Looking at this miserable little son, he had the urge to drive him out again, but in the end he waved his hand and told King Jin, "Get out of here!"
Since the King of Qin had not arrived yet, Chunjia scolded the King of Jin, and then took the exam on the homework of the third prince and the tenth prince. There was definitely no problem with the third prince's homework, even though he had been hiding his clumsiness under the Queen's hints in the past two years. , in the end, I won’t be dumbfounded by the question.
Needless to say, the tenth prince may not have met the emperor's requirements in terms of temperament, but his qualifications are not bad.
After some cross-examination, Chunjia finally felt a little better when she looked at her two sons who were coping well. However, at this moment, the worried little boy spoke unconvincingly: "Why are my two brothers who are taking the imperial examination? You don’t want to take the exam for the school’s son-chen? The son-chen is also your son!”
"Shut up!" Chunjia said angrily, "You haven't even finished punishing everything you did today. If your elder brother hadn't done it for you, I would have punished you! Who allowed you to interrupt at this time? "
Prince Jin suddenly looked at him with tears in his eyes.
The emperor became even more angry: "Why are you crying! A manly man is squirming in front of the sky. He has no courage at all!"
"Just wait! I'll tell the concubine later that you think she has no courage!" Prince Jin was angry, curled his lips and turned his head away, thinking viciously, "Let's see how the concubine will deal with you then! Don't do it! I thought I didn’t know that my mother-in-law hates others who despise her! Even if my father does this, my mother-in-law will definitely take revenge!"
Since this trick didn't work for his own father, he immediately stopped his attitude and said with curled lips: "I know... But even if I have faults, it doesn't stop me from wanting my father to take the school exams!"
Chunjia looked at him for a few times, smiled maliciously, and casually asked two questions: "Tell me about it."
When King Jin heard that this was beyond his current level of education, he thought about it, sighed and said, "I dare not say it."
"Why don't you dare to say it?" The emperor didn't believe it. "Why don't you dare to say it?"
The King of Jin said: "I haven't learned these two questions yet. What my father just asked the third brother and the tenth brother were all learned by them. But now when I ask my son, this is the case. The reason why my son is frightened is that he doesn't know What did I do wrong to ask my father to beat me like this? So even though I have some shallow thoughts, how can I dare to speak out?"
Chunjia laughed and said, "You think so much at a young age? Just answer it."
The King of Jin then started talking... At first, the Emperor looked at his calm look and thought he really had some ideas. After listening carefully, he found out that he was just making things up. He was immediately laughed out of anger and said: "Forget it, you don't have to talk anymore, and Get over here and wait!"
"..." King Jin didn't bother him this time and just curled his lips.
Just wait!
When I go back to the harem later, I must explain to my mother and concubine how you treat me differently! ! !
I am the only biological flesh and blood of my mother-in-law!
I can’t believe she really doesn’t feel sorry for me! ! ! !
Chunjia ignored the little brat's thoughts and turned to give some advice to the tenth prince. Then he glanced at the third prince, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "You're not bad, either."
The tone of these words was perfunctory. If it were a child who had always been favored, such as Zhao Qing, he would definitely be dissatisfied and would definitely want him to praise him again.
But throughout his life, the third prince rarely received the emperor's attention, let alone praise.
Even such a light sentence made his heart surge, and he clenched his fists subconsciously. After a moment, he whispered his thanks.
But at this time, someone from the palace happened to come in and report that King Qin was here.
The King of Qin was young and heroic, and because he was born in a noble family and lived a good life, he certainly had a good foundation, so even though he knelt for a while for his younger brother, there was nothing wrong with him. He still walked in with high spirits. After the ceremony, he saw the third prince and his wife. The tenth prince was here, frowning slightly, and seeing King Jin being driven aside alone, he couldn't help but cast a concerned glance.
Chunjia could see clearly from above, sighed slightly, and said, "Rang'er has finally arrived. Can you please tell me how to deal with this matter?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the chamberlain next to him. The chamberlain came out quickly and told the King of Qin what had happened.
In fact, I had already heard a lot about King Qin's favor on the way here.
At this moment, without much hesitation, he said: "How can I embarrass my father by a little grievance for my son? How can I deal with this matter conveniently? I ask my father to handle it as I please. After all, my son has relied on my father's favor all these years, but he has never been able to do it." If you have nothing to show your filial piety, how can you cause trouble to your father?"
Chunjia smiled slightly after hearing this.
Although he knew in his heart that he had not ordered the news to be blocked just now, King Qin must have been exposed in advance, and he might even have heard of someone's advice.
But the human heart is not a scale.
The emperor always doted on his eldest son and daughter, and King Qin was his beloved child. Now he was talking and ironing, and the emperor was happy when he heard it.
The third prince and the tenth prince over there noticed the emperor's preference for King Qin. The third prince lowered his head subconsciously, while the tenth prince had a complicated expression.
He was relieved, feeling that Mrs. Gu and Queen Gu were safe, but also felt quite disappointed.
After all, among the three legitimate princes recorded on the jade plate, excluding the foolish King Chu, he is the one.
Ordinarily, he should be the crown prince and the most valued son of the emperor.
But on the one hand, the father raised him and the twelfth prince in front of him, and he obviously valued his legitimate son. On the other hand, he was particularly tolerant of the heirs in front of the imperial concubine...
This made the tenth prince feel mixed emotions.
As a result, at this time, King Qin said again: "Father, the truth of this matter is better not to embarrass you. But the culprit cannot be left alone, otherwise, father is kind, maybe Will they regard it as a blessing and even make it worse next time?"
