Chapter 981: Fighting for the Throne
Who knew that Murong Feng didn't appreciate it at all: "Yes, everyone clapped their hands and applauded below, at that time I was sitting on the tree and was proud, but my father came and shouted loudly, so scared that I fell directly from the tree." fell apart, and was arrested by his father and confined again. Speaking of this, he glanced at Murong Qi, "It was the second brother who interceded for me, and my father exempted me from punishment." ”
Murong Feng's eyes were very cold, and Murong Qi was shocked when he saw it.
Before he could open his mouth, Murong Feng continued: "The second brother is my protector, as long as I appear, the second brother will always come because he is not at ease." So, every time I become the most typical bad boy, and the second brother always gets out of the limelight easily. ”
Murong Qi understood this time, Murong Feng was not in a bad mood, but angry with him.
Thinking that he had defended him so much before, but now he said this, Murong Qi felt a little cold: "Third brother, are you blaming me for being nosy?" ”
"No, I'm grateful to my second brother for protecting me so much. If there is no second brother, I don't know how much I will suffer from flesh and skin. Murong Feng looked at Murong Qi and told him word by word, "In my heart, except for the mother concubine, the second brother is the closest to me, and the second brother is the person I value very much in this world." As long as it is something that my second brother wants, I will never fight for it. Even if I like it again, when I think that my second brother likes it too, I will not hesitate to let go. ”
His eyes were sincere, even with faint tears. Murong Qi didn't speak, he knew that Murong Feng had poured out all the words in his heart.
"People say that being born in the royal family is destined to have no real flesh and blood affection, but I never believed it, because I didn't covet that throne. But if the second brother wants to, the third brother will fully support the second brother. I can give everything in this world to my second brother, but only Ye Qiu'er can't. ”
His gaze was steadfast and unmistakably resolute. Even, with a little bit of prayer.
Murong Feng grabbed Murong Qi's arm, and his voice was choked: "Second brother, can you hurt me again." Don't rob her with me. I don't want to be estranged from my dearest big brother because of Qiu'er. ”
Murong Qi didn't speak for a long time. He knew that Murong Feng was serious this time.
Murong Feng is right, he has always loved Murong Feng the most, although he was sent to live with Concubine Ru since he was a child, but this younger brother who is connected by blood, he really cherishes it.
If he had agreed to him without hesitation before, but now, he knew clearly in his heart that he wouldn't work.
He couldn't let go, these days of contact with Ye Qiu'er, he felt like his heart was trapped in a whirlpool, and he couldn't extricate himself from his muddy feet.
Finally, Murong Qi came out of his throat: "I'm sorry." ”
Murong Feng's eyes changed from ardent hope to disappointment, and he laughed, laughing so much that tears flowed from his eyes. If he fell in love with Ye Qiu'er one step later, he would not be as persistent as the second brother. No matter how much he likes it, he will give it up. But his second brother couldn't. Because, he is used to being given to him by others, how can he let it go himself.
Murong Feng didn't think about this result. He quickly wiped away his tears, his gaze no longer softening.
"Then second brother, let's play fair."
Murong Qi didn't expect his third brother to be so open-minded, so he immediately patted him on the shoulder and promised him: "If I lose, I will quit." ”
Murong Feng didn't speak, he changed the topic: "Second brother, let's go see the concubine." ”
Murong Qi nodded, ready to go with him to Concubine Duan. But I heard Murong Feng remind: "Your mother is Concubine Ru." ”
One sentence made Murong Qi almost fall into an ice cellar.
A few years ago, Concubine Duan did not have such a big power, so the eldest son could only swallow his anger when he gave Concubine Ru, and later Concubine Duan's power became stronger and stronger, and she could already be on an equal footing with Concubine Ru. The relationship between the two sisters has also become delicate, sometimes they can use each other, and sometimes they are like sisters.
And Murong Qi no longer has to live with Concubine Ru, but can move around at will. Although Concubine Ru is his nominal mother, his heart is still towards his mother after all. Now after Murong Feng's reminder, he suddenly realized that even if it was nominal, it was still a fact that could not be changed.
Murong Feng walked away, Murong Qi looked at his back, and the previous joy suddenly disappeared.
He suddenly felt that from this moment on, it seemed that he and Murong Feng would never go back.
Murong Feng came to Yongfu Palace, Concubine Duanniang was lying on the bed to build her nails, and the palace maid ran over as if she had seen a ghost and reported: "Great, Niangniang, it's the Third Highness who has come down." ”
Since Concubine Duanniang was grounded, her mood has been sad, and although she has regained her grace, she is always a little uncomfortable. Now that her son is here, she is rarely happy.
Especially when she saw Murong Feng dressed up so well-behaved today, her face became more and more smiling. His face was also piled with a rare kindness on weekdays.
"Son, are you tired? Hurry up and sit down for a cup of tea. "Concubine Duan finally saw her son once, naturally it didn't hurt enough, and she asked people to serve tea and water, and ordered people to serve snacks.
Leaving it in the past, Murong Feng was already annoyed, maybe his ass was not hot yet, so he left quickly.
This time, not only did he not leave, but he also let Concubine Duan take his hand and stare at him. As if to see a hole in his face.
After eating and drinking enough to catch up with the old days, most of the day had passed, and before noon, Concubine Duan had lunch again, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
Murong Feng comforted her: "Mother, I will stay for dinner at noon today." Don't worry, your son will come to you every day to greet you. ”
Concubine Duan couldn't close her mouth happily, and tears almost came out. He said vigorously: "My son has grown up, my son has grown up." ”
"You are not the only son of mine, and your eldest son is much better than mine." Murong Feng said it very casually, like a joke, but he was testing Concubine Duan's reaction.
Concubine Duan does seem to treat these two sons equally on weekdays, but in her heart, the son who was abducted by Concubine Ru is no longer her son.
She remembered many years ago, although she had already given birth to Murong Feng at that time, but in the end, it was her own flesh and blood, Murong Qi lived on the side of someone else's life, how could she rest assured. Therefore, she always used a lot of silver to buy off Murong Qi's nurse and asked her to take the child away every once in a while.
Unexpectedly, when Murong Qi saw her, he pointed at her nose and scolded: "You vixen, you are not my mother, my mother is in Yong'an Palace." ”
Since then, Concubine Duan has never been to see Murong Qi again.
Although the emperor later brought the child again, saying that his own child, although he gave it to others, was his own son. But that child grew up in someone else's palace since he was a child, and he was not kind to her, and she was lukewarm to him. Until today, although Murong Qi shouted one by one, she already had a mustard in her heart.
Unlike Murong Feng, no matter how naughty and mischievous he is, no matter how deviant he is, after all, he is the child she brought out. Their mother and son are of the same mind.
Therefore, when Murong Feng said this, she sighed: "Silly child, in my mother's heart, you are the only child." ”
At that moment, Murong Feng's heart was not unmoved. He didn't like his mother's preaching, but in this world, his mother's love for him is only afraid that no one can compare.
He smiled: "Mother, the son was ignorant before, and in the future, the son listens to you." ”
Concubine Duan didn't know how her son got his senses, but when she heard this, she was so excited that she died. Striking while the iron was hot, she asked cautiously: "Then why did the mother let you compete for the throne?" ”
Murong Feng nodded firmly: "In the past, my son didn't understand the painstaking work of my mother, but now my son understands." If I don't stand in a high position, I'm afraid that I will be a mermaid in the future. ”
Concubine Duan looked at her son with relief, and she didn't know how happy she was.
