"That cheap maid Yun Fenghuang!!!" After a while, the queen who received the news was furious. She threw all the tea sets in front of her to the ground and gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "If not, it will show Wei He's goodwill. Encore Khan’s heart, why not let the emperor’s eldest son marry Princess Weihe?!”
"My dearest lady, have you forgotten? Prince Qin Diandong said two months ago that he is fond of Miss Jue Jue." A confidant sighed, "Even if Prince Dong may not be willing to fulfill Prince Qin's so-called lovesickness, he will have someone who belongs to him." If the prince marries Princess Wei He, won't that make Wei He Khan even more worried?"
"As for the seventh prince and the ninth prince who are just east of the imperial concubine's knees, has the imperial concubine not said anything?"
"Older men love people."
"The seventh prince and the ninth prince are younger than our third prince after all."
"The imperial concubine even used the analogy of Bi Dong wronging her. Don't you think Bi Dong will listen?"
"Then what do we mean, do we allow that humble servant Yun Fenghuang to get her wish and ask my Bing'er to marry the so-called princess of that foreign country?!" Gu Zhen said with hatred, "In those years, the imperial concubine relied on the emperor's favor to do whatever she wanted. Acting recklessly, provoking me again and again... Other things are just that, Ruming even asked to have a hand in the marriage of my son's son!"
"If we don't let her continue to be proud, then the Sixth Palace and the queen of this palace will exist in name only!?"
Neither of them dared to say anything, and they felt in their hearts that although the Queen was not completely reduced to a puppet during those two years, when she was fighting against the imperial concubine, everyone felt that the Queen would definitely lose...
At the moment of embarrassment, someone from outside reported that the third prince was here.
Gu Zhen almost burst into tears when she heard this. The prince who was the first to come to her was also her most satisfied and doted on child. He had lived the most unsatisfactory life since he was a child. He even asked Concubine Bao to get married. Use it for practice
"Mother." The third prince just came in and knelt down to apologize, saying softly, "The child is unfilial, and the queen is worried."
Those words made Gu Zhen's heart break, "Then how can you blame me? Yun Fenghuang, that wretched maid, I will never spare her!!!"
"The Queen..." The third prince hesitated and whispered, "I would like to talk to the Queen alone for a while, is that okay?"
Gu Zhen already loved him the most, so it would be best if it interfered with the overall situation. At that time, he felt very sorry for the child, so he absolutely did not disagree.
When the waiters filed back, only the mother and son were left in the palace, the third prince said seriously: "Mother, this matter is not entirely caused by the noble concubine."
"The Queen Mother knows that if my father doesn't nod that way, what can that bitch like Yun Fenghuang do?" The Queen said with a wry smile, "I really don't know why Gongxiang Ji, the great emperor, is so narrow-minded... Ji's wife again No matter what, he helped him ascend to the throne, but he turned around and destroyed the Ji family. The grudge is so irresistible? He actually wanted to offend me and my brother... "
Sometimes she regretted taking over the position of successor.
Otherwise, she would only have a child with her father-in-law Xiang Bing, so she would be even more willing to fight with Chun Jia.
It's not like now, when you have so many worries, even if your favorite child is being bullied, you can just watch and endure it, and at most you can secretly provide some relief.
"Mother." The third prince knelt in front of the queen and whispered, "Thunder and rain are not the kindness of the king. Although the father, the emperor, the children and the ministers do not regard them as treasures as much as the elder brothers and sisters, after all, there is no father, emperor, mother, queen, and no children. Sir. How dare I disrespect my father? How dare I tell my mother that there was a rift between me and my father because of my unfilial son?"
"I very much ask my mother to calm down and please don't blame my father just because I am a son."
"My son is already thirteen years old. In two years' time, I will ask for vassal status."
"From now on, I have no choice but to serve my mother day and night. I don't ask for anything else. I just ask my mother to take care of her body. I come from the Kingdom of Te, so as long as I know that my mother is safe and healthy, I will be satisfied!"
The queen couldn't help but burst into tears after those words, and felt more and more that she was the greatest luck in her life, to have met such a considerate child.
However, at that moment, the third prince changed the subject and said softly, "My son, I have something that I don't know whether I should tell my mother..."
"Good boy, what can't you say to me, mother and son?" The Queen stroked the top of his hair and whispered softly, "But I wonder if something has caused trouble to his son?"
The third prince hesitated for a while, then whispered: "Mother, my son-in-law just said that the matter was not entirely caused by your mother and concubine, but I do suspect that my father also had that intention, but... but not two months ago. , I heard that my tenth brother secretly associates with the people of your mother and concubine."
The Queen's leg immediately stiffened when she placed it on him!
After a moment, Gu Zhen asked in a deep voice: "Seriously?"
"How dare I deceive my mother about such a thing?" The third prince raised his head with a sincere look, "In fact, if I were wrong about you, I would never mention this matter to your mother! I would be your concubine. She... She has always been quite hostile to the queen. The sons and ministers are worried that the tenth brother is young and is being deceived by the noble mother and concubine without knowing it! When the time comes, don't harm the queen... As long as the queen knows, the tenth brother has never liked it very much. My son, my son originally wanted to give me a private reminder, but I was afraid that my tenth brother would misunderstand me. Therefore, I can report this to my mother and ask my mother to give me some advice when she is free."
"After all, the noble mother and concubine have both an adopted son and a biological son. How can you mistake the sincerity of the tenth brother?"
"There is a queen mother who raises several sons and brothers on her own. Only the sons and ministers are truly motherly!"
Gu Zhen slowly took back the leg that was placed on top of his hair, and suddenly felt his whole body trembling.
The tenth prince blamed her for his alienation, and the third prince and King Chu's hostility and rejection. In fact, she was not famous.
Is it because of various considerations that I have been enduring it.
But she didn't expect that the disobedient and filial son was more ruthless than she thought... The tenth prince was secretly interacting with other concubines. While the queen was disappointed, she might have felt that her son was deep in the city and knew that she had full wings. He must be able to fight those people in front of the imperial concubine.
But in front of her, she really didn't know what to say!
Were the mistakes made by Xuanqing Palace very obvious over the years? ! Is it clear that the situation between you and Yun Fenghuang will be one of survival in the future? !
How dare he, the tenth prince? !
Or, in his mind, his aunt is more intolerable than the imperial concubine
How could Bulong say that she had raised him for so many years...
Gu Zhen's legs and feet were cold, and his heart was also cold. He walked for a moment and then said in a hoarse voice: "I understand, my tenth brother is young and ignorant... I will teach him... I will go east and let me The palace is alone and quiet."
"Mother." The third prince pulled her leg, but did not leave. He said softly, "I know that my mother, Ru Ming, must be very sad, but please calm down. The tenth brother may not mean to harm the mother, and most of them don't believe it. You have to understand the deception of your mother and concubine. Do you know what your mother and concubine is like? Even your father can persuade her, let alone your young tenth brother? I very much ask my mother to calm down and don’t get distracted by this. I don’t want to get into trouble with my tenth brother because of this. Otherwise, if my mother and concubine find out, wouldn’t I just want to be applauded?!”
"..." Gu Zhen was silent for a while before saying in a solemn voice, "I, Minghong, I'll go east, ah?"
Watching the third prince leave worriedly, the queen closed her eyes before calling in the waiters.
When the attendants came outside, they were all surprised to see her in great shock.
After all, if the tenth prince hadn't come over just now and kept the mother and son alone, it would have been just like that.
The tenth prince has always been against the queen, which makes people feel harsh, but the third prince is famous for his gentleness and filial piety.
What did he say to make the queen look like that
"Have I always been responsible for watching over Xiao Shi? Let me tell you, in the past two months, has Xiao Shi had contact with anyone from the imperial concubine?" The queen calmed down, called out a waiter, and asked in a deep voice, "To tell you the truth, I, if you dare to tell a lie, don't think that there is a noble concubine who can deal with people!"
The waiter came out of the queue in fear, prostrated to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Returning to your Majesty, in the past two months, there were indeed some comings and goings in the East of the Tenth Prince's Palace, but whether he had contact with the imperial concubine or not, I don't know... but I don't know. All because of this. The tenth prince does not allow anyone who is on the east side of the slave's leg to follow him, saying that he wants to walk around... slave... because of the empress's instructions, the slave must not disobey the tenth prince, so... "
He was also helpless. Ordinarily, at the age of the tenth prince, even if he had some thoughts, the queen, as the legitimate mother and not the adoptive mother, wanted to keep an eye on him, so there would be no problem.
Could it be that after the tenth prince knew his biological mother since he was a child, he and the queen would not be so single-minded.
After being scolded by Chunjia in the past two years, Queen Cuo finally had some respect and affection towards her mother, but privately she suppressed the third prince, King Chu and the twelfth prince.
Those Didong people all reported it to the queen, but the queen thought about it, but she ordered everything to be left to the tenth prince.
In this way, in the middle palace, a pattern has long been formed with the tenth prince as the core, and the other princes all want to be one step behind.
The tenth prince usually kept silent. Once he spoke, how could he dare to disobey even if the empress sent someone to look at him
"So? I don't know who the tenth prince met when he went out for a walk. What did he do?" Gu Zhen did not blame the slave. After all, it was not because she was too indulgent to the tenth prince.
Gu Zhen was a rare smart person that time, "In that case, let's check Donglanzhou Yeyu Pavilion. In the past two months, when the tenth prince went out, did any of them go in the direction where the tenth prince walked?"
"It doesn't necessarily mean that he came from Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion. The imperial concubine has a cunning mind and may have hired people from other places."
"To put it bluntly, find out who the tenth prince came into contact with when he was wandering around that month, and come back to this palace as soon as possible!" "
So he found out that a waiter in Yi Xingen's courtyard that day had the opportunity to bump into the tenth prince.
As for the waiter, who had been ordered to go to the lotus pond in the back mountain to pick two lotus flowers and put them in a vase for her master, it was obvious that she had delayed two more cups of tea in the meantime.
At that time, it was neither long nor short. After all, a slave would inevitably want to catch a fish, so the little delay was quite reasonable.
But it was enough for the queen to doubt the tenth prince.
She held a trace of fantasy in her heart and asked what the tenth prince had done since that month.
"The tenth prince sent someone to inquire about the third prince that day..." The waiter said tremblingly, "He, he asked someone to monitor Miss Jue!"
The queen closed her eyes heavily.
When he opened it, the tears in his eyes were forcefully forced back.
She had never been so envious and jealous of Yun Fenghuang, not because of the imperial concubine's favor and shrewdness, but also because Yun Fenghuang, despite going through many crises, could not give birth to Donglai's biological King Jin.
And she was cut off from the hope of having children early on.
Over the years, Knee East has raised a lot of children, and the bustling scene is still lively.
But at that time, the queen felt that she was still not the same Mrs. Yaoning who was not favored or powerful, and spent every festival alone in the palace.
The third prince and the king of Chu who were really fond of each other did not dare to feel sorry for them, and the other could not be protected; the tenth prince and the twelfth prince, who did not like them so much and even had feelings for each other, instead asked for careful protection; the sixth prince did not want to ask for it at all. , and had to take care of her... She had lost a lot in the past many years, and she was prepared to be ruined after her failure.
But even though things haven't happened yet, the children of Didong have already fought together...
The queen closed her eyes for a long time, then asked in a hoarse voice: "We said that King Qin and Zhaoqing were not easy to get along with. I heard that back then, they often suppressed the seventh and ninth princes, and even hated the king of Jin... Is the imperial concubine... How did you get through it? How did the imperial concubine handle it?"
The waiters looked at each other and racked their brains. After a while, someone decided to come out and say a few words of comfort.
However, the queen suddenly changed the topic as if nothing had happened, "Bing'er just didn't ask me to ask my help to reject Princess Wei He's marriage. Let's ask, is it good or bad to do this to me and Bing'er?"
