Fortunately, the tenth prince was young and had someone always watching over him.
When the palace servants saw King Chu barging in, they said that he came to visit the tenth prince, and they didn't dare to stop him. Seeing that situation, how could they dare to let him go
He quickly grabbed something to light the curtain, separated his legs and went to report to the Queen.
When Gu Zhen heard the news, he trembled with anger and asked sternly: "Where is that unworthy thing Ru Ming?! Bring it over with me immediately!"
However, when the King of Chu came to him, he burst into tears and said that his mother would not ask for anything after having Xiao Shi. Gu Zhen felt that he couldn't bear it.
"Empress, that's not a trivial matter." Seeing this, the attendant reminded him in a low voice, "It would be fine if King Chu Diandong just said that he wanted the empress to spend more time with him, but Ru Ming has begged the wrong tenth prince, Dong Dushan. It's very embarrassing." , I’m afraid I won’t remember it in my heart in the future. Moreover, if the tenth prince knows about this when he grows up in the future, and then feels resentful, then... that will not be conducive to brotherly harmony!"
It turns out that it is nothing new for royal heirs to have brothers who are at odds with each other and even turn against each other.
But if the same concubine also had a dispute, it would be very painful for the mother.
Gu Zhen was silent for a long time. He gritted his teeth before, and pushed away the King of Chu who was crying on his knees until he almost begged to die. He asked someone to get a whisk and personally pressed him to the ground and beat him firmly. Had a meal.
In fact, she didn't pity the child, otherwise she wouldn't have done it herself. She was afraid that the people of Didong would step down and worship him, and deliberately sold him well to the tenth prince. Dong An would beat the King of Chu with his legs, and then he would be punished. It doesn't help that the palace people are there.
However, Ke Ke often faulted the King of Chu for being too fond of him. At first, the King of Chu begged for mercy, but then he began to complain. He shouted in a tearful voice: "Sure enough, after having the tenth brother, the mother no longer begs for the sons! Why is the tenth brother? Pray for a good life?! He deserves to die! He should die! After he dies, my mother will hurt him so much!!!"
Gu Zhen was so angry that he burst into tears on the spot, grabbed him and shouted sharply: "When I came to this palace, I already had my third brother! When did my third brother ever say that such slowness is better than that? What happened?! I came to play with my third brother, but why didn’t I learn even half of my third brother’s magnanimity and gentleness!!!”
At that moment, the queen wanted to simply give up on King Chu.
Anyway, the child's biological mother is dead. Even if she is not dead, she has a humble status. What can be done to her
Even Chunjia no longer cares about that son. The queen is sure that even if Chunjia knows that she deliberately killed King Chu, she will not care.
But just when her heart was shaken, the third prince who received the news rushed over, struggled to cross the threshold and knelt down in front of her, hugged her ankles and cried loudly, begging her not to blame the King of Chu: "Empress Mother , Fifth brother is young and ignorant, please forgive me!"
Seeing the signs of beatings on King Chu's body, he rushed over to hug him and coax him, asking the queen to hit him if she asked for a beating. It was not his fault that his elder brother had not taken care of his younger brother.
Please tell me whether Gu Zhen, the king of Chu, showed some pity and guilt for not being able to protect him, and whether the third prince truly felt pity and pain.
In particular, the third prince was the first child to be raised by her. Although Chunjia didn't like it, it was precisely because of that dislike that Gu Zhen had the illusion that the third prince belonged to him. He defended the third prince like Mingming. King Chu, the tip of her nose felt sore, and she choked out: "Please, if King Chu can be like me!"
For the sake of the third prince's face, he was reluctant to continue punishing him, so he reasoned with them with tears, saying that the tenth prince was not their legion, and not only his legitimate son like the King of Chu, they should be in love with each other, but Don't be jealous of each other.
"I am not only our mother, but also the mother of all the emperor's heirs." Gu Zhen looked at the tear-stained King Chu and said sadly, "Many of our brothers and sisters are very young, so they don't go out often. After a few years, we will know that I never deny that any one of us can have it alone! Xiao Wu, I think so, just because I have a sensible brother. Now that I am my brother, it is time for me to Third brother misjudged my magnanimity and mistreated Xiao Shi, Ming Hong?"
The King of Chu didn't understand Hong, so he understood the Queen's statement that she didn't belong to him alone, so he burst into tears again.
The queen was exhausted mentally and physically, and couldn't help but whisper to her attendants: "I really hope that I can be as decisive and ruthless as the noble concubine, so that maybe I won't cause those little ancestors to make a fuss!"
... In fact, the situation in Huanhua Palace at this moment is similar, but it is not King Qin who takes the lead in making trouble, but Princess Zhaoqing.
Maybe because her brain was not burnt out, Princess Zhaoqing did not wrong the Ninth Prince Dong Po's leg, so she complained to Yun Fenghuang: "Mother, my ninth brother is so ugly, please don't throw him away." Huh? If you want to beg a child, look at me! I am the prettiest!"
When she first said that, Yun Feng Huangquan thought it was childish and laughed it off.
Turning around, she found that the daughter was telling the palace servants who were serving the Ninth Prince not to care so much, and not to feed the Ninth Prince when he was hungry, or to ignore him when he cried, so he frowned: "Doesn't that mean that one family should not enter the same house? Then? The child is not my own biological child, it is just remembered in my name, yet he is so jealous at such a young age!"
The Qing people said: "It may not be what the master of the palace wants. Maybe someone is instigating the master of the palace?"
But when Chen Jing checked, it turned out that no one was trying to persuade Princess Zhaoqing.
That's not surprising. With Yun Fenghuang's temper, anyone who dared to cause trouble under her nose would have been dealt with long ago.
Besides, Princess Zhaoqing is a girl and cannot inherit the throne. Why are her attendants encouraging her to compete with the prince of Yunfenghuang Mingdong for favor
When their princess grows up, she will have to rely on the Ninth Prince.
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help but laugh when she found out. She knew very well how jealous a child could be. After all, she herself was jealous by nature. If not for the fact that Mrs. Jiang was really heartbroken and Xie Fenghuan was shrewd, she would have been able to do it at the age of six or seven He could easily kill that concubine.
He didn't get angry at that time, so he pulled Zhaoqing and praised her softly several times: "Zhaoqing is the most well-behaved, beautiful and considerate mother-in-law. Xiaojiu has a weak body. Zhaoqing will definitely help mother-in-law take care of the child." Nine, it’s a good mistake to let the mother-in-law breathe a sigh of relief, isn’t it?”
"I heard that my third and fifth brothers don't like Xiao Shi. Is my mother and concubine really frightened? How could there be such a person? The brothers from the same mother's knees don't like her legs and feet? We Zhaoqing must not be the same Nazhi steals children!”
"Xiao Jiu is so pitiful. He was born so thin and small, and not very good-looking. He is too far away from Bi Yao Qing. Alas, such a pitiful Xiao Jiu, please don't have a kind-hearted sister like Zhao Qing to protect you. What will happen to Keqiu in the future? I can’t help but shed tears just thinking about it for my mother.”
Finally, she looked at Zhaoqing expectantly, "Zhaoqing is the most filial and well-behaved. I will definitely help my mother and concubine, right?"
Princess Zhaoqing: "..."
Even though she is smarter than ordinary children, she is still only three years old, so she is a little overwhelmed when she hears this.
I wanted to deny it, but I was afraid that my mother-in-law would think that she was not a good child, so...
"Concubine Mother knew that Zhao Qing would definitely agree!" Yun Fenghuang waited for a while and saw the confused look on her face when she looked at her. He couldn't help laughing and touched her head, and said seriously, "Then Concubine Mother has no time to come over and take a look. Xiaojiu, the mother-in-law and concubine of the Zhaoqing gang must keep an eye on the screwdriver slave to see if there is any evildoer who is harsh on my brother!"
Princess Zhaoqing: "..."
I always felt like something was good... But Yun Fenghuang responded in time, "If it were someone else, my mother and concubine would not be at ease!"
She suddenly felt that she was indeed special in the mother-in-law's mind, and nodded happily: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will definitely help you keep an eye on them!"
After making a resounding promise, Yun Fenghuang caressed his cheek and coaxed him into saying a few nice words about not asking for money before he left the palace. He was blown by the cold wind outside and only then did he realize in hindsight: Did he want his mother and concubine to lose the child? Jiu, he wished that the people serving Xiao Jiu had done him wrong. Why did he have to protect Xiao Jiu from being bullied by his minions now? ?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved and couldn't help crying.
Yun Fenghuang, who was in the palace, had no guilt at all for deceiving children. He happily asked Chen Jing to talk about the liveliness of Chongchang Palace: "Is it possible that the Queen was so angry that she cried for several days because of just such a small thing? I'm so sorry By the way, why were the Queen’s eyes red and swollen during those two months, even if she put on powder? I thought something had happened, maybe the King of Chu was jealous... It’s inevitable for children. , just give it a few words of coaxing, why are you so angry like that? The Queen is a very old person, so she doesn’t want to be so childish."
Chen Jing smiled and said: "For you, the empress, it's not a trivial matter, but for the empress, it's a bit difficult to cope with. That's not surprising. In terms of intelligence and cleverness, let alone the empress. , if the three palaces and six courtyards are all tied up, how can we compare with the empress?"
Yun Fenghuang was tired of hearing that kind of flattery, so he smiled when he heard the words, and immediately asked: "Is it true that the third prince, it sounds so cute, at such a young age, he actually knows how to be friendly and cruel?"
"Perhaps it's because of your facial expressions all the time." Chen Jing said, "After all, my queen, you also know that although it hurts the empress to wrong the third prince, the other people in Chongchang Palace and the third prince did not wrong the king of Chu. .Otherwise, the former empress would not insist on holding a birthday banquet for the second and third princes together."
It is indeed difficult for a noble prince who needs his aunt to declare that they are the emperor's flesh and blood and want to grow up to be as domineering as the King of Chu.
Yun Fenghuang sighed without sincerity: "The queen's hard work has not been paid off. It seems that the princes to the east of the middle palace are the most worry-free."
Just as he was talking, a report came from outside that Chunjia was coming.
The masters and servants stood up to greet him, and saw Chunjia wrapped in a fox fur, holding Zhaoqing who was wiping tears coming over. He frowned slightly and said, "How can you teach a child to cry in the wind in such a cold weather?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang's face darken, he even went to add, "The people who serve you are so careless! You look at the concubine's good nature and she is so lazy?"
The palace servants who served Zhaoqing were originally following him, but after hearing this, they quickly knelt down and apologized.
Yun Fenghuang then relaxed his expression, stretched out his legs to take Zhaoqing from his arms, so that Chunjia could untie Dongqiu Yi, and asked his daughter in surprise: "You just ran out happily, why are you crying? Can you throw it down?" Where are you knocking?"
"..." Zhaoqing held her mouth tightly, with tears in her eyes, looking at her expectantly.
The little girl's face clearly said: Mother, please tell me that I don't like Xiaojiu, I don't want Xiaojiu, and I won't let my son take care of Xiaojiu! ! !
Let me tell you quickly! ! !
However, Yun Fenghuang is a heartless heiress. She knows this but insists on pretending to be confused: "Why don't you shut up? Are you too happy to not see my father for a long time?"
