After the tenth prince finished practicing calligraphy, he ordered someone to fetch water to wash his hands.
Pulling the brocade handkerchief to wipe the water droplets between his fingers, he asked casually: "Is there any news from the palace recently?"
Because he had passed his tenth birthday, although he could theoretically go to the harem every day to pay his respects since he moved into Qiongjiu Palace, he was not as well-informed about the Sixth Palace as he was before when he lived with the queen.
He was still unclear about the fact that the imperial concubine, who had caused a lot of commotion in the Sixth Palace these past two days, was suffering from morning sickness.
At this moment, a close servant came up and said softly: "The Sixth Palace has not had any major events recently. It's just that the Imperial Concubine is quite uneasy during her pregnancy, which has caused the Sixth Palace to be concerned, and even Your Majesty has gone to visit her again and again."
"It's just that the imperial concubine is worried about her unborn heir and refuses to let the imperial doctor use heavy medicine. After all the trouble, she has been forced to stay on the bed since yesterday to protect the fetus."
"My mother and concubine are about to become grandmothers, why are they going through such hardships?" The tenth prince raised his lips with some contempt and said maliciously, "Why don't we just have an abortion and live a peaceful life? .”
"Your Highness..." The attendant hesitated with some worry, "The imperial concubine is so powerful, this..."
The tenth prince didn't care very much: "So what if your mother-in-law knows that this prince has said such things? How can she ask my father to take advantage of this prince if there is no basis for it? If she wants to have that face, she doesn't have to try every means in these years. It’s aimed at the queen mother.”
Everyone on the left and right knew their master's temperament and did not dare to say anything.
The attendant who had reported the previous report said softly: "Your Highness, please be careful. This pregnancy of the Imperial Concubine is different from the last time she was pregnant with Prince Jin. Your Majesty pays special attention to her. I heard from people over at Taichu Palace... This At this moment, it is not known whether the heir in the concubine's belly is a boy or a girl, but His Majesty has already chosen a name and drafted a title so that the concubine can choose as he pleases. This is a favor that even His Highness the King of Qin has not received. This is still down. As for the earth, if it is after birth, I still don’t know how your majesty will pamper you. The waiter in front of the emperor speculated... "
Because the tenth prince's face instantly darkened, he immediately fell silent.
"continue."
After hearing this, the waiter dared to continue: "The waiter in front of the imperial concubine speculated that when the imperial concubine was pregnant with His Highness Prince Jin, the previous dynasties and the harem had not yet been settled, and the imperial concubine even had some conspiracy to cause premature birth... Now... Son, your Majesty has nothing to worry about, but he wants to make up for it for the imperial concubine, so he greets the imperial concubine and dotes on her. Even the emperor's heir is still in the womb, so he is valued and doted on by your majesty. "
"I heard that even His Highness Prince Jin is quite disappointed right now."
"After all, it would be fine if the imperial concubine gave birth to a royal daughter. No matter how favored she is, she will only be like Princess Zhaoqing."
"But if he is also a prince, I really don't know what will happen in the future?"
The tenth prince's expression changed, and he sneered: "Prince Jin is not worried? He is the biological flesh and blood of the imperial concubine! Over the years, the imperial concubine has treated many of the children she raised under her knees as a loving mother, but she only treated him. He has been trained strictly since he was a child, and it can be said that he hopes that his son will become a dragon. What else does he have to worry about? Even if he is another emperor's younger brother, and the elders and younger ones are in order, can he get past him? "
The waiter reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the reason why your Majesty, King Jin, is favored is simply because he is the biological flesh and blood of the imperial concubine. It is not because he has the ability to make your Majesty look at him differently! In this case, if so, Your Majesty and the Concubine dote on the later prince even more, so what can he do?"
"Besides, to the imperial concubine, no matter whether the eldest son or the youngest son, whoever sits in that seat is her biological mother!"
"If His Majesty is interested in the younger prince, how can it be possible for the Imperial Concubine to forcibly support His Royal Highness Prince Jin, given that the Imperial Concubine is so good at flattering her?"
"Therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has been quite uneasy these past two days. He has made several trips to the Huanhua Palace under the pretext of asking for greetings."
"Then he didn't say anything or do something?" The tenth prince's eyes flashed and he whispered, "Prince Jin is not a fuel-saving lamp! After all, he is the biological flesh and blood of the noble mother and concubine, and he is absolutely not a good person!"
The waiter whispered: "Your Highness, it is the biological mother and son after all... His Highness Prince Jin saw the uncomfortable look of the imperial concubine, but he didn't say anything."
"Trash." The tenth prince frowned and said in disgust, "However, this idiot also thinks simply. He is not just his father's child. He is so naive to think so well!"
He pondered for a while and said slowly, "In this case, please tell my great-grandfather that it's almost time to register and establish the East Palace."
"Since ancient times, there have always been direct descendants."
"My father is wise and mighty, but just because my father is a virtuous king, he will not listen to the concubine's temptations..."
"It just so happens that your concubine has been suffering from morning sickness these past few days, so this is a good opportunity for us to take action!"
"If after the news comes out, the noble mother and concubine cannot bear it, whether it is a miscarriage or a miscarriage, then the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain, so I, the prince, will fulfill my filial piety to my father."
"It's better than having your father worry about your mother and concubine's pregnancy when the day comes."
The waiter agreed and asked in a low voice: "Where is the imperial concubine...?"
"Is it you and me who have been hanging out in the palace for a long time, or is it that your mother and concubine are better at it?" The tenth prince smiled disdainfully and said softly, "Do you think I am stupid when I fight with your mother and concubine in the palace? If you want to fight, go to the front dynasty! The front dynasty is set, what kind of trouble can a few women in the harem stir up?"
... These words were passed to Yun Fenghuang. She couldn't help but sigh and said to the Qing people: "Did you see it? Your Majesty's eyesight is better than mine. This Xiao Shi has always had a bad reputation, and he has no respect for his brothers and sisters." There is no way to win people's hearts, but when you look at things, you hit the nail on the head."
Not only was he not deceived and tried to kill Xuanqing Palace, but he wanted to take this opportunity to incite the former president...
It would be fine if someone carefully trained this, but the adoptive mother of the tenth prince, the queen, is incompetent. Chunjia, as far as Yun Fenghuang knows, has no clear guidance and upbringing, and has even done some confusing things. For example, although he was very satisfied with the estrangement between the tenth prince and the queen, he repeatedly blamed the tenth prince for not respecting the queen enough.
Under such circumstances, for the tenth prince to be able to reach his current level, it can only be said that he has great talent.
As for his usual behavior, the imperial concubine sighed, "I used to think that he was just a child, and the Queen was always doting on him, so it was not surprising that he had some bad habits. Looking at him now, I am afraid that he is a professional This is for me to see."
Imagine, if the tenth prince had not been close to his adoptive mother since he was a child, but he had been a well-behaved, sensible, brotherly, courteous, considerate, considerate... prince, how could Yun Fenghuang have allowed him to live to this day
That means trying every possible means to kill him!
Take a look at the two princes in the palace who have better reputations now: the third prince and the seventh prince.
Because of his biological mother, the third prince was never considered as a heir apparent by the previous harem.
In addition, he was not in a good situation since he was a child, so it would be surprising if he acted too arrogant and willful.
His humility, forbearance and low-keyness are all understandable.
It is not easy to cause murderous intent.
After all, she was born with inherent deficiencies, and in the eyes of a concubine like Yun Fenghuang who aspired to Qingci Palace, her priority was not high.
Not the kind of candidate who must be killed.
As for the Seventh Prince, his many lovable temperaments are more pure.
But this is because he has two extremely powerful elders who protect him from the wind and rain.
Moreover, he was not recorded in Yun Fenghuang's name, and the Yin family had no intention of cultivating him as the next king... All in all, the third prince and the seventh prince had a good reputation and looked good inside and out, but they were competing for the position of crown prince. But they all have flaws.
For example, the tenth prince was a legitimate prince in name.
However, the queen's methods were insufficient and she had too much time to take care of herself. Although Chunjia had protected him all these years, she obviously did not stand against him just because he was the legitimate son.
It was just a matter of raising the person in a side hall of Taichu Palace for a few years to ensure his safety.
He didn't even just raise him, but raised him together with the twelve princes.
If you think about it from the perspective of the tenth prince, he is actually very nervous.
Because what he can do best is his identity as his legitimate son. The problem is, excluding the stupid King of Chu, he is not the only one.
The twelfth prince even had Gu's blood.
Even if the daughter of the Gu clan hadn't gotten pregnant too late, the tenth prince would never have had the chance to be named as the queen's legitimate son.
In this case, it is impossible for a child who is born with a lot of thoughts not to pretend.
Yun Fenghuang pinched his forehead, feeling that there were many talented people coming out of the country, and it would really be impossible if he didn't take care of these little things.
In comparison, none of the children she carefully taught could beat him.
"When I first entered the palace, everyone felt that I came from a humble background. Even if I gain power temporarily, it will definitely not last long." The imperial concubine couldn't help but said to the people around her, "It turned out that they were spoiled and relied on their family background to become empresses. The master of opportunities is no match for a concubine like me who has been promoted step by step on her own. Unexpectedly, the situation has changed, and the children who rely on me to gain success are no longer able to compete with the queen's subordinates. Those two children are making a living in the palace on their own."
Of course she was talking about the third prince and the tenth prince.
Qingren and others felt a little sad when they heard the imperial concubine's analysis, but they still defended their highnesses: "Our highnesses are born with great blessings, but we just don't care about them. Otherwise, how can they be like us?" His Highness’s opponent?”
Then he said, "Besides, with all their tricks, aren't they all under the control of the Empress now? It can be seen that how can they compare with the Empress back then? The Empress is both smart and lucky. How lucky will these people be? is not enough."
Yun Fenghuang could only sigh with emotion. After all, no matter how outstanding the child was, he was either her opponent or her opponent. The more outstanding he was, the less he could keep her.
She stared at the ginkgo leaves falling outside the glass window, and said slowly: "The weather is very good today, so let this child stay with me for one more day... just tomorrow."
The next day, the concubine finally stopped having morning sickness in the morning.
The palace was about to breathe a sigh of relief. Even Chunjia was very happy to receive the report. They even opened a private treasury to reward the officials of Huanhua Palace and the imperial doctors. However, in the evening, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Yun Fenghuang suddenly fell into a coma!
When the news came out, Liugong was shocked!
