Chapter 267

It's just that what Zhu Xiang didn't expect was that the queen mother, who had always been able to see the situation clearly, was actually confused this time, and when she heard him say what went with the flow, her eyes suddenly widened with anger and scolded her for not being angry: "If it weren't for your lack of anger and entanglement with the daughter of the Li family, how could your father lose trust in you?" If you want to be more angry, there will be no other prince or anything at this time, and the position of the prince should be yours. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info as soon as I talk about the Li family, I am disgusted. ”

Zhu Xiang looked at his angry mother, sighed helplessly, and continued to comfort: "That's indeed my son's fault, but this time the example of the third brother is in front of us, what should we do to get together in a good way to find ourselves unhappy?" Mother, you listen to your son's persuasion, even if you don't think about yourself, but you can't help but think about your grandfather's family? We want to be human, but to make everyone safe, you have also seen that the third brother's grandfather's family has been dealt with so heavily, I think it is difficult to have a chance to return to the capital in this life, whether it can be relieved is still unknown, at this juncture, why should we rush up? ”

The queen's chest rose and fell violently, she couldn't swallow this anger in her heart, and immediately said: "I'm just unwilling, it's something that is at my fingertips, why should I rob those few?" The emperor is not confused, he has always been a successor, how can those who do not know how to get to the main hall? Could it be that I just swallowed it? Watching another woman's son sit in that position? What's in it for me in the future? ”

Zhu Xiang also understands that this is too embarrassing for the queen mother, after all, she is the one who holds the power, if other younger brothers and queen mothers can only be respected as a queen mother in the future, this power is bound to not fall into the hands of her own clan, how can she be happy?

He knelt down and said in a deep voice: "It's the son who is useless, and I still want the queen mother not to be angry." ”

The queen looked at the son in front of her, sighed and said: "If it weren't for your eldest brother going early, I wouldn't want to put all these things on your head, now there are not a few people outside staring at our family, and I don't know how many people want to see our family down, how can I let go of the power after so many years?" Once we let go, what awaits us is boundless revenge, and if we want to survive in this palace, we can only find a way to make ourselves stronger, and always stand in front of others, so that they can obediently bow down to us. In fact, your father and I used to be a loving couple, if it weren't for that Wan Guifei...... My son is already the crown prince now, if you become the emperor, your grandfather's support and dedication to you will not be in vain. All our hopes are in you, and although your grandfather didn't say anything this time, I can see that he is a little depressed. ”

Zhu Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Does the queen mother want to raise the bar with her father at this juncture?" I always feel that my father already has the most suitable candidate for the crown prince in his heart, and no matter how much he shows his face in front of him, he is unwilling to look at him, if he is provoked, what good can it do us? It's better for us to wait and see what happens, and not to mess up ourselves. ”

The queen was really annoyed by this son's anger, and immediately said angrily: "Why are you so stubborn? If your father says the name of that person, then you will become unjustifiable, how are you going to do it? Isn't it possible to be satisfied if you are scolded by the world for killing the king and usurping the throne? So I don't care about anything else, what comes out of the emperor's mouth must be your name, and I will go to the emperor's side to talk about this matter in the next two days, you don't need to take it to heart. ”

Zhu Xiang sighed, said a few other words to the queen mother, and then left, on the way back was also a bitter face, the queen mother kept her own advice, and went to the father and the emperor for fear that she would suffer a few times, too eager to get no good results, but also to make the emperor vigilant, so as to alienate their mother and son even more.

Unexpectedly, his conjecture turned out to be true, and when the emperor heard what the queen said, his face immediately changed, but he still listened quietly, and finally just asked the queen: "I have been on the throne for so many years, is it possible that the queen will teach me how to do these things?" The queen is so eager at this time, doesn't she have other thoughts in her heart? You are in charge of harem affairs, your hand should not be stretched out so long, you should also know what the crime of interfering in the harem is, let your foreign family behave more in the past few days, if you accidentally anger me, I will never let them go in your face again. ”

The meaning is actually very clear, the emperor has endured her mother's family for a long time, they think that there is nothing wrong with doing things, but in the eyes of the emperor, there is still something inappropriate, the queen's face immediately turned white, she quickly knelt down and said: "The concubine is afraid." ”

I didn't expect that she had watched the power struggle in the harem for so many years, and thought that she had a good control of the situation, who knew that she was too confident and let her son be sure, did she harm her son by doing this? Because of his mother, the emperor dislikes his son more and more, how can this be good? She was so anxious that she didn't know why, she was so anxious, she was sick, menacing, lingering on the sickbed for many days, the second child and dawn had been waiting by her side to get better, as for the daughter of the Li family, she didn't want to see it, because she always felt that her son would become like this because of that woman, if it weren't for her, maybe there would not be so many things at all now, and her son would be able to sit on the throne smoothly.

In the past two days, she has been able to make up her mind to walk, and her spirit has improved a lot, the mother and son sat together to enjoy the plum blossoms, while chatting with a match, the queen sighed and said: "I knew that I should have listened to you, and I didn't go to the emperor to talk about this, who knew that it would be like today, sorry for the child, it was I, the mother, who caused you trouble." ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head with a smile and said: "Mother should know that my father is a man who rarely changes once he makes up his mind, he is not one of those unvirtuous emperors, who can be swayed by women's thoughts, what he values is whether that person can take his position well, whether he can make the country strong, he is always for the good of the whole world, what else can you say about such intentions?" Actually, I think my father likes the sixth brother, but let's be fair, what the sixth brother wants in the past few years, the father just gave him a pedal, but don't you think he is walking well? Military merits, the soldiers of the army have a lot of praise for his kind of strength that is not afraid of death, that is, in the court personnel, he has always disregarded human feelings, how to do it, it is simply very, do you think he wants to be alone at this time? ”

The queen's face suddenly became mixed, like who? It's clearly like ......

Zhu Xiang said when the queen mother spoke: "It's my father, our other brothers also have their own strengths, but there are still a lot of problems and shortcomings, which is why my father doesn't look down on us, but the sixth brother is different, not to mention that he is the son of Wan Guifei, just these same temperaments as his father can make his father think highly of him, do you think this is the reason?" Since this road is paved for the sixth brother, aren't you bent on blocking your father when you bump into it like this? ”

The queen became expressionless, why didn't she understand it in the first place? She looked up at her son and said, "Seeing that the matter is about to be a foregone conclusion, you blame the queen mother for talking too much, causing your father to alienate you even more, what should you do in the future?" If you want to ...... The queen mother will do her best to help you. ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head with a smile and said: "I believe that the sixth brother will look at my face and not make things difficult for my grandfather's family, and I don't want to be like the third brother, knowing the final result, why should I bump into it?" Isn't this unwiseness a joke? Queen Mother, don't worry, as long as your son is here, you must not let Concubine Wan bully you. But in the future, you can no longer think about controlling the situation, you can only be a good mother in front of Zhu Zhao, do you know? It's your son's begging of you. ”

After sitting there and thinking for a long time, the queen nodded helplessly, if she had the ability to reach the sky, she might be able to help her son become an emperor, but the secret battle between her and the emperor has never been won, so she herself does not have any confidence to collide with the emperor, and now the only way is to put down her heart and wait and see what happens. But I still felt sad in my heart, when the friendship between their husband and wife was strong, he personally said that he would make their eldest son the crown prince, who knew that the child had a thin life, and he went at a young age, and then the emperor never mentioned this matter, who knew that now it was replaced by the son of Wan Guifei, no matter how ruthless she was, what could she do? After all, they are not as good as the six princes who have the support of the emperor.

Zhu Xiang looked at his mother's appearance, a little distressed, he knew his situation and thoughts, even if he had that ambition, but the reality told him that it was impossible, so it was better to live like this, don't dream that you shouldn't have, this will make you ridiculous.

After returning from the palace, Dawn saw that he looked tired and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" But have you eaten? Why don't I have someone make something more? ”

Zhu Xiang waved his hand, sat down, put his head on his arm, and said: "I just looked at the queen mother's appearance, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, she was going to be strong all her life, and wanted me to have a big future, but who can know, I still disappointed her, I saw her like that, I just felt distressed." How good would it be if I hadn't been born into an imperial family? I don't need to go through so much deceit and helplessness, in this place, I forced the little sparkle in people's hearts to retreat, and I can only find a way to climb up, otherwise I will be blinded in the dust for the rest of my life, and I will be a night pearl that has been covered with dust. ”

Dawn wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, leaned her face on his back, sighed and said: "Although I don't understand, I think people are all exposed to it, and when they don't know, they also become aware that power is everything, and they also have a desire to have it, it's not wrong, it's just to see if God is willing to fulfill your plea, do you say yes?" In the end, you still have to open it and don't take it too seriously, so it's just yourself who is sad. ”

Zhu Xiang said with a smile: "It's not so easy for people to figure it out, I think at the beginning, I used to be in the middle of it, I felt that as long as I stood in that position, what could I get?" But suddenly I don't know when I gave birth to other thoughts, and I can't even understand myself, but I'm still very grateful that I can figure it out, if I persist, maybe I will end up with the same fate as the third brother, harming myself and others, I don't want to do this. I thought of all ways to persuade the queen mother not to be rash, and now that she has tasted it, she should be dead. I wish the wind had blown over sooner, and now that I'm not comfortable outside, and to be honest, I'd love to be able to stay at home and not go anywhere. ”

But compared to their inability to sit still, and the emperor's patience is simply very good, he doesn't say anything, what should be done as usual, and he beats the seven princes hard, and I don't know what's going on, the seven princes should have been more and more under the guidance of the emperor, but he made mistakes again and again, the emperor had no temper, patiently taught, and forced the seven princes to kneel down and ask for mercy.

The emperor's kind words for such a long time were suddenly withdrawn, and he scolded bitterly in front of several ministers: "With these two points of ink in your stomach, you still dare to beat the attention of this dragon chair, and your mother is an ordinary virtue, just dreaming, but not looking at how many catties and taels they are, let their mother and son move to Jingsi Palace to have their dreams, it is really unbelievable." ”

Everyone didn't expect the emperor to have such intentions, and the seven princes even reprimanded the greedy princes and concubines behind them, and beat them all into ugly people who had no ability and wanted to sit in a high position, and also let the courtiers know that they wanted to support a certain one It was a complete dream, and the Zhu family's world never used incompetent people, and all of them stopped a lot for a while.

Even after the queen heard such a thing, she couldn't help but sigh, what else could she say, in fact, the emperor can't be blamed for this, his heart is always pretending to be this world, the son understands that he has been by this man's side for so many years and has not seen through, maybe because his heart is too jealous, the emperor is so partial to Concubine Wan, how can she not taste it in her heart? I think back then, everyone in the world thought that the two of them were a match made in heaven, but what happened later? He finally gave his heart to other women, she asked why, he said that what he wanted was a pure woman, although you are a good woman, but the family behind you really gives me a headache, he doesn't like this kind of tied feelings.

The queen suddenly burst into tears when she thought of this, although she had her own family behind her, but this heart has always been towards him, could it be that he doesn't know? Maybe he was just trying to make excuses for his change of heart, no, she suddenly remembered that time she begged him to assign an official position for her younger brother, and his eyes at that time were complicated and disappointed...... It turned out that at that time, he knew that he couldn't give up his mother's family, let alone make half a concession for the interests of his mother's family, this kind of realization made her feel like her heart had been hit hard, and it hurt so much that it became difficult to breathe. Now I understand that the concubine can't rely on her favor to make any untimely demands on the emperor, the emperor finally saved her face, but she also let go of the love between the two people, all of this is caused by herself, who is to blame now? Wan Guifei? It's not her fault, she just appeared just right, echoing the person the emperor wants.

A woman lives a lifetime, in fact, not just for these powers, what she wants most is that her man can be to herself, the two of them have also experienced the happiest life, although there are many temptations in the palace, but this man is wholeheartedly by his side, sincere love words, each other's laughter until now She has not forgotten, but it has become a memory, so that her deep regret is no longer irretrievable. It was a dream in her life, and she could never get it back.

After the palace people don't know why the queen mother suddenly closed the door, that is, many palace affairs are handled by the grandmother around her, the emperor heard that he still came over, the two stayed in it for a long time, the emperor came out with a sad face, after all, the old love is not broken by saying that it can be broken, they have long been engraved on their hearts can no longer be erased, but now it is different and can no longer go back to the original time, in recent years, his heart has been given to his most beloved woman, Everything here will no longer be attached to him.

Back in the courtyard where Concubine Wan lived, he saw that the person was still looking at the flowers, his face was not a little unhappy, and he couldn't help laughing: "In the past, you were the most cautious, every time I went to see the queen, you had to show me your face, why is it so quiet today?" ”

Concubine Wan said with a smile: "What am I afraid of, you are the person next to me, we will have a long time together in the future, you can't go anywhere, they are really pitiful, after all, they also gave birth to a child for you, don't you treat them like this and your conscience will not be disturbed?" ”

The emperor's smile became meaningful: "Why are you sorry for them, I have never treated them badly on weekdays, what they want when they come to the palace is just glory and wealth, these things are given to them, what else is there to say?" What's the use of saying more? The two of us are all right, and I think these things are pretty much taken care of, so it's almost time for us to go. ”

Concubine Wan's face suddenly became sad, and she said: "What should I do, I am suddenly reluctant to leave, my granddaughter is about to be born, I still want to watch them grow up, if I leave with you, what if they don't know me in the future?" ”

The emperor smiled helplessly, and said softly: "You, let's not make up for it, since we have decided to hand over all this to Zhu Zhao, we just have to hide out to avoid the limelight, and let him hold all this in his hands, otherwise some dissatisfied people will take the opportunity to make a stumbling block for Zhu Zhao, if I am carried out, do you say I care or don't care?" Since I decided to leave it to him, I won't care about anything in the future unless it's the hardest time. ”

Concubine Wan nodded: "I hope Zhu Zhao can deal with all this earlier, I don't like the feeling of being adrift very much, because there are many things that I can't give up now." I only think about my little grandchildren now, and I am satisfied to watch them grow up. I owed a lot to Zhu Zhao at the beginning, and now I have no choice but to give it all to my little grandchildren. ”

The emperor couldn't help but laugh at her: "You are really...... That's it, just go with you, and in the future, we will have time to tease our grandson. I only hope that Zhu Zhao can understand what I mean, don't be embarrassed for his brothers and sisters, the most uncomfortable thing since ancient times is the cannibalism between brothers and sisters, those are all unsuccessful, I hope he doesn't force himself too hard. ”

Concubine Wan smiled and said, "I believe that Zhu Zhao is a person with a bottom in his heart, and he will not do this kind of thing at will, you can rest assured." But he is not a soft persimmon, he can be manipulated by others, if anyone dares to give him discomfort, it is they who ask for it. ”

The emperor saw that her face exuded a thick anger, and knew that she remembered the bad things that happened at the beginning, and sighed helplessly: "Let's not talk about this, it's all in the past, what's the point of talking about it now." As long as he doesn't forget my advice, it's not too early, and we should eat. Did you say when that little ghost will enter the palace, but I miss it very much if I haven't seen him for a few days. ”

The smile on Wan Guifei's face is just a little more, as long as she thinks of her two well-behaved little grandsons, her heart can really melt into water, she has lived for so many years, she has been fighting with those women in the first half of her life, and her life is too monotonous and boring, but now she feels that her life seems to be starting over, with more color and joy. Such days make her cherish and like them even more.

Zhu Zhao has often been in and out of the palace in the past two days, and Concubine Wan asked people to prepare his share, and said to the people who were waiting: "Go and see the sixth master of our family, how busy you have to be, don't you even prepare to eat?" Call people back to me, nothing is as big as eating. ”

The eunuch went to pass the word as instructed, and the emperor looked at the woman in front of him and felt more and more fond, remembering the appearance of the child and becoming more and more gentle and beautiful, thinking that he had complained about her cruelty at the beginning, but fortunately everything was fine.
