The atmosphere in the Chongchang Palace was stagnant. When it was heard that King Qin was leading the way, and Princess Zhaoqing, the second prince, the second princess, the third prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the ninth prince came to visit the tenth prince, the emperor and the empress retorted in shock and anger. Even the concubines Chen Jing "exposed" were stunned.
Then everyone saw that Chunjia's originally stern expression softened and Donglai said, "The imperial concubine has always cared for children. It's hard to believe that she was so caring during her confinement period."
He ordered people to summon the emperor's heirs outside.
After a while, a group of royal heirs filed in, sorted by their elders and younger ones, and went to pay their respects.
Although the queen and concubines didn't like the imperial concubine, they had to admit that the children in front of her were really well raised.
In terms of appearance, Zhaoqing was certainly not the best, but the other emperor's heirs were not far behind.
After all, Chunjia is handsome and gentle enough to be a concubine, and her appearance is of course a must. How could a child from the East not be good-looking
Not to mention the clothes. The battles in Ruming Palace were not so fierce that the emperor's clothes were worn out.
So a group of young children walked in and it was really pleasing to the eye.
But the most eye-catching ones are not King Qin, Zhaoqing, the Seventh Prince, and the Ninth Prince, because their demeanor is different from that of other emperors.
The second prince is dull, the third prince is reserved, and the sixth prince is timid... Only the four princes who are directly behind the imperial concubine have the calmness and grace that an prince should have.
... To put it bluntly, it is true that the imperial concubine was favored. The children before her were given first-come-first-served status. Not to mention the number of times they saw the emperor, the most important thing was that they had to keep tabs on their comings and goings. Since they were young, they had brothers and sisters who would help them. Without them, there is no way Give way to brothers and sisters.
So coming from the east, of course, he would not be as cautious as the second, third, and sixth princes.
Treating Chunjia like an ordinary child treating his father, can he be free to do so
The queen and Concubine Shu walked away for a while, and King Qin and others had finished their ceremony. Although Chunjia was in a bad mood, she managed to show a little smile in front of the many children who were cruel and knew how to be polite and friendly. Yan said: "Why did you suddenly think of visiting Xiao Shi?"
The children behaved well and went to see the eldest King of Qin. The King of Qin said: "I heard that my tenth brother was injured, and the sons and ministers were very worried, so they wanted to come and have a look. I was originally afraid of disturbing the queen mother, but I asked her and said Okay, here we come.”
The emperor asked: "Were we all together just now?"
"Go back to my father." No Zhaoqing replied that time. Her leg injury was completely gone. The meticulous treatment by the imperial doctors meant that it could not be seen clearly when she walked slowly. , there are traces of it when walking normally, let alone running and jumping.
But that doesn't affect her beauty. She really has picturesque and exquisite features.
Chun Jia was not good at beauty, and Yi Xing En was the most beautiful woman in the harem, even Yun Fenghuang was convinced, but he didn't show any intention of being obsessed with her.
But the daughter is different from the concubine, and in the presence of the imperial concubine Zhaoqing, even in the Ming Dynasty, she thought that she was the concubine's biological child. There was no trace of Yi Xingen's obedience and obedience in her eyebrows, but instead she was free and wanton.
The emperor himself had lived a life of trepidation for as long as he could remember, and there was not a day when he was not working hard.
But he admires the high spirits of his children.
Therefore, the eyes he looked at her became a little softer, and he smiled as he listened to Zhaoqing's crisp words, "My sons and ministers were not together just now, but the mother and concubine said that the second sister and the third sister are very similar to the sixth brother. They may not know what happened to the tenth brother. , let your ministers tell you!"
Chunjia smiled and waved towards her. Seeing the daughter limping towards him, her smile froze. She was not disgusted but pitiful.
Because Zhaoqing will be six years old next year, as the saying goes, men and women do not sit at the same table at seven years old. Even if father and daughter, Chunjia Ruming has begun to avoid it, but without hugging her, he stretched out his legs to touch the top of the eldest daughter's hair, and moved her He set up an embroidery stool to let her go, and said softly: "Our mother-in-law is very considerate. Please listen to her more when encountering problems in the future."
I casually asked Yun Fenghuang how those two months were like.
In fact, although the emperor has been away recently and has no time to go to the harem, the news of Xuanqing Palace is reported three times a day.
But when I see my daughter, I inevitably want to know Dong again.
But have you thought of Yun Fenghuang's character that valued his heirs, and been a little curious about what the imperial concubine was like in the eyes of those in Zhaoqing
"My mother and concubine are in confinement at Ruming, and the sons and ministers rarely see her!" When Zhaoqing heard that, he curled his lips and complained, "The sons and ministers have visited the fifteenth brother several times, and he looks so good. It’s so ugly, not as good-looking as my sons and ministers at all, is the father wrong?”
King Qin was a little speechless after hearing those words: "Zhaoqing, don't shut up. Fifteenth brother...Didn't Fifteenth Brother's wet nurse tell you? Fifteenth Brother will definitely look good in the future!"
"No!" Zhaoqing said firmly, "My aunts all said that he looked good when he first landed, so he looks good now. My fifteenth brother didn't look good at that time, and he will definitely not look good in the future!"
Chunjia laughed, touched her head and said, "We in Zhaoqing are indeed the prettiest. Fifteen...it's not bad after fifteen, but in terms of appearance, it's really not as good as Zhaoqing!"
Is that true? But when the emperor said that, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to vent his anger: The bastard Fifteen had already compared me to the east in the eyes of the imperial concubine as soon as he landed. Zhaoqing said bad things about him, which almost went to my heart. Got it!
The key point is that the emperor knows it well. If he tells him that the fifteenth prince is not good-looking, even if he tells the truth, the imperial concubine will definitely be angry with him!
He had no doubt at all about the status of that bastard Shi Fifteen in the eyes of the noble concubine.
After all, could the imperial concubine just give up the status she had worked so hard to gain since entering the palace, just to take him to the vassal state
But since it’s not what Zhaoqing said, it’s okay.
The emperor believed that the imperial concubine was too fond of the children. Even if the imperial concubine said clearly that her biological children were better than those who were not her biological children, she would not punish Zhaoqing for such a trivial matter, let alone blame herself for indulging Zhaoqing. , wrong
So he was in a happy mood as he listened to Zhao Qing slandering the fifteenth prince and venting his worries about his newly born younger brother, so he smiled and asked the children: "Come in and see our tenth brother."
The Queen and Concubine Shu looked at the family happiness in silence, their hearts filled with sadness.
The queen's sorrow is that the tenth prince is unconscious inside, and the emperor has just received the news and rushed over immediately. He has been planning things up to this point, so he seems to be taking it very seriously, right? But when the other princes came, especially Zhao Qing's coquettish complaints, he temporarily put aside the tenth prince and so on, and started chatting and laughing with Zhao Qing as if no one else was around.
This made Gu Zhen feel a little dazed, wondering whether what the emperor had said to him before was sincere or not
After all, the emperor's mistake for the tenth prince's attention does not seem to be a lie; but the favor he just wronged Zhao Qing does not seem to be a lie... But the question is, how can he treat his own flesh and blood as treasures while coldly calculating those things? How will Cheng Huan's children, who are his neighbors, kill each other in the future? How will they kill each other in the future
There is no outsider, these are all real heirs of the emperor!
Concubine Shu's sorrow naturally lies in the fact that Chen Jing, the general manager of Xuanqing Palace, just came to report to the emperor and empress, regarding the death of Gu Cairen's master and servant, the fall of the tenth prince into the well, as well as the palace's rumors that Gu Cairen's master and servant were killed by ghosts, Rumors such as Queen Kezi and Wan Jieyu's death were all pinned on her!
She was defending herself in shock, watching the emperor's face become more and more livid and worried. At that time, King Qin and others came, which originally provided a distraction and eased the atmosphere, but also made her think more about her self-defense. Are those words a good thing, are they... Seeing that the emperor's aggressive intention to launch an attack on the enemy, suddenly turned into the concern of the noble concubine, the favor of his daughter, and the ridicule of the fifteenth prince...
Concubine Shu had mixed feelings in her heart.
Who in the palace doesn't know how favored the imperial concubine is
But every time something comes to pass, I have to have a deeper understanding of the feeling of being favored and not being favored.
"Your Majesty." Seeing the last imperial heir jumping into the outer hall, Concubine Shu lowered her eyes slightly and said in a harsh voice, "I am unjustly accused!"
In those words, she sounded desperate and powerless.
After all, she has already made it clear that she doesn't care about the truth at all, and it is useless no matter how beautiful her self-defense is... The key is, who is the emperor willing to trust
No, it should be said that the key is, who did the emperor choose
Concubine Shu had the last faint hope in her heart, hoping that the emperor would sympathize with her for not doing anything, but her grandfather, or ultimately Ouyang Yanran.
At about the same time, Ouyang Fulu's mother, Meng Shi, the daughter-in-law of Ouyang's family, was kneeling at the door of the study, with tears streaming down her face: "My father has many granddaughters, but my daughter-in-law only has one biological daughter! My daughter-in-law doesn't ask for anything else, just this." Father... give Fu Lu a way to survive! Whether Bu Feng is demoted to a concubine or relegated to the cold palace, my daughter-in-law will be grateful!!!"
The Meng family is the direct daughter of the Meng family's sideline, and she is considered to be the clan aunt of the deceased Wan Jieyu.
