After Nafu Gong Xiangxiao left the regent's palace, the regent took the initiative to mention the eldest son for the first time.
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and said first: "The father wants his son to die, and the son has to die. What does Buxin say? The Marquis of Shouning is the prince's true son and a ruthless son. No matter how the prince mistreats him, it is not deserved!"
She habitually provoked the relationship between the regent and Gong Xiangxiao before she continued, "Although I am not sensitive, I also know that in terms of talent, appearance, and family background, I am not as good as Ji and Ji." Daughters of nobles like Luo, Meng, Yin, and Ouyang. In those days, they were able to serve the prince only because they relied on their adoptive father. In this case, how could I expect that I could really control the prince? The reason why Hou Ninghou has been there for so many years It is gradually apparent that I have given up on the prince, but in the final analysis, that is not the prince’s own intention.”
"The Marquis of Shouning is young and ignorant, how come I don't know how to be famous?"
Mrs. Lu sighed, "The prince is not a person who is greedy for beauty. The backyard has always been clean all these years. How can he be seduced by my concubine and despise his eldest son who was born to a wife who was kind and ruthless when he was young?"
But over the years, everyone in the world, including Gong Xiangxiao himself, felt that the regent became a stepfather when he had a second wife, and Gong Xiangxiao was always disliked by him.
It can be seen that this was intentional by the regent.
The regent's eyes were a little strange, and he muttered: "So I know everything? Isn't it strange? Gu has been arranging an escape route for Xiao'er so long ago. It should be logical that I don't like him, but why do I let Zhen If you don't tell me that your son is staying in the house, Ru Ming really wants to push him to show his face?"
Can Gong Xiangzhen be Lu's biological flesh and blood
Over the years, Mrs. Lu's love for him was also sincere.
Knowing that the future was uncertain and even the regent himself had no confidence, he arranged a way out for Gong Xiangxiao in advance. Lu himself was willing to share the joys and sorrows with the regent. The regent was surprised, not to mention that his son was also willing to accompany him
"If the prince succeeds, Zhen'er Ruming will go out to help you. Needless to say, there will be no future." Ms. Lu smiled, walked to his side to add tea to him, and said softly, "If the prince fails, even if Zhen'er keeps hiding. In the palace, even if the prince sends him away quietly, what will happen to his eleven-year-old child in the future? To put it bluntly, even if he dies in any corner, I will not know. Instead of that, It is worse to just live an ignoble existence than to fight vigorously!"
Seeing the regent looking at her with a playful look, she changed her mind and said with a smile, "Your Majesty knows that I am the adopted daughter of my adoptive father. She was born in a humble family in her early years."
"But considering the prince's background, it's hard to imagine how humble my concubine's background is."
Mrs. Lu said slowly, "I was too young when I was taken in by my adoptive father. I can't remember the specific details, and I don't dare to think about it. Every time I recall it briefly, the most vivid feeling is... You are hungry. Did you know? After I became the adopted daughter of my adoptive father, the reason why I was beaten the most was because I ate secretly. Although I knew that there was enough food at the time and I would not starve, I couldn't help it... Zhen'er He is too young and has little experience in being raised in the palace. I don’t think that he was sent away by the palace at that time. In the future, without the protection of the two of us, he will be able to live a good life. I do not doubt that the prince People in Leg Didong are loyal, but things are unpredictable. What if the loyal person is separated from him? What if something goes wrong with the loyal person? At Zhen'er's age, even if he was stuffed with a bunch of gold, pearls and jade, It’s just a matter of urgency.”
"Although I am humble, the prince is the blood of the Shenzong family, and Zhen'er is not of the upright bloodline of the Gongxiang family."
"Even if he loses, he should lose openly and live and die in the records of history, instead of coming and going without a trace, even living among the people for a month and being insulted by those in the countryside!"
"..." The Prince Regent was silent for a while, then chuckled and said, "Only Gu Jingmingyue found out what Concubine Hen was thinking."
Ms. Lu asked: "Then will Prince Xu Zhen'er show up?"
But the regent did not give a clear answer and said: "Think again."
... When Mrs. Lu returned to her room, she felt that her inner clothes were soaked through.
She breathed a sigh of relief and ordered her to prepare hot water for bathing and changing clothes.
After soaking in the bathtub sprinkled with flower petals, feeling the soothing of the hot water on her skin and body, Lu relaxed a little, but was immediately startled by the familiar footsteps coming from behind the screen, and Dong's consciousness tightened again.
"Princess, please don't worry, otherwise I will take care of your bathing." As soon as she stretched her calloused legs from behind, she lifted up the wooden gourd, scooped up a spoonful of petal water, and poured it over her shoulder, her voice was very unpleasant. Lively, she sounds like a smart and lively maid.
But Mr. Lu was stiff for a moment, and then he spoke as if he had come to his senses, his voice hoarse due to nervousness: "He just told the prince what I said, but he is not sure what the prince will think or do."
The maid smiled softly: "Don't worry, my lady. As I said earlier, please do as I told you. You don't need to bear the burden of anything else."
Mrs. Lu was silent for a while and whispered: "What will happen to him then?"
"The young prince is only ten years old. Bidong has always been generous. Naturally, he can't be more generous than his fellow Shouning Marquis." The maid said firmly, "Of course, it must be that what the prince did did not anger Bidong very much." Otherwise, it will be no more than thunder, rain and dew, but no kindness from the king. The empress is smart, so she doesn't need to be verbose. "
Mrs. Lu shouted excitedly: "How is that fair?! That bastard servant Gong Xiangxiao didn't do anything to give birth to a son, so he just made a fuss in a confused way, and finally made him a marquis. His son... His son is young and innocent. He The mother even sold her adoptive father and husband for him, so why can’t she be considered a marquis?! Moreover, if Gong Xiang sends someone he truly feels sorry for, he will obviously not be Gong Xiang Xiao! If he does something that offends Bi Dong in the future, Son, isn’t Gong Xiangxiao the one who deserves to be punished?!”
Why should she take it out on her son? !
"Princess, please be patient." The maid soothed softly, "Don't forget that Ming Zai is not the Empress Dowager's biological grandson, but she does respect the Empress Dowager... In those years, Hou Ning has always been in favor of the Empress Dowager. Dong, the young prince has been living in seclusion. Ever since he landed, he has not even greeted the Empress Dowager! Do you think that when the palace building is about to collapse, who will the Empress Dowager protect? "
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and said hastily: "But that's not the case for the prince..."
"No, the prince has not allowed the young prince to go out. We all know that." The maid said lightly, "Can you, then why? As the prince's pillow, the princess shouldn't even know that. ?”
"..." Ms. Lu said reluctantly, "Maybe it's because his son has been weak since childhood..."
The maid laughed: "The princess is really good at joking. The young prince will only be ten years old next year, and he is already capable of riding and shooting. It is very frail. Then wouldn't those maids beg to die anytime and anywhere?" "
Those words made Lu feel a chill in her heart even though she was in a steaming bathtub.
The maid behind her had been serving her for many years, and suddenly she spoke to win over her on behalf of Chunjia. How could she be persuaded by just a few words
But the maid mistakenly knew all about Gong Xiangzhen's situation, which made Mrs. Lu have to consider, if she refused, could Gong Xiangzhen go east and live a good life
During those years when she was working hard, she only had one son...
Moreover, what the maid said was also wrong. No matter how much Gong Xiang Ruoji was thought to be the crown prince, he never did it.
Chunjia did not reign in any other capacity, and he was the heir to the filial clan.
Let all the men in Tiandong judge, which heir would choose to let his brothers inherit the family business
In particular, the regent and Xiaozong had very different mothers.
The imperial edict to ennoble the crown prince had never come back. At that time, if the regent mentioned it, it would be difficult for people to question whether he wanted to usurp the throne. It seemed like he was bullying his nephew like an uncle.
Gu Fangshu, the most loyal supporter of the palace, can't help but wonder whether the relationship between the Gu family and the palace has become estranged since they became descendants... Although Mrs. Lu held out hope in her heart, her reason was bright. , it would be difficult for Gongxiang to make a comeback if he sent cocoa.
Unless there is something good about Chunjia.
Otherwise, according to the pace and patience of the emperor since he took charge, the regent would not be given any chance at all.
Instead of waiting for Chunjia to prepare everything and deliver a one-hit kill to the palace, it would be better to surrender to him on his own initiative. Of course, he would not be able to offend the regent by doing so, but Baodong Lai Gong Xiangzhen could at least leave something for him. Is your bloodline good
Lu was half persuaded and half intimidated.
Even if she regretted it at that time, it was too late. She calmed down and said in a low voice: "It's just because he was on guard against Dong Li in the palace. After all, the grudge between the prince and the Ji family has never been shallow... He and Dong all share the same problem." The two sons, Gong Xiangxiao, is Bidong's companion and has been in and out of the palace for many years. If Zhen'er also enters the palace from time to time, what if one day the two children are gone, what should we do as a couple?"
The maid smiled and said: "Do you think the princess is a maid, or are you being coaxed by a fool? Shouning Hou just went out, and he never saw the young prince show his face?"
