In the Zhaoyang Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wu was lying on the chaise longue, and the expression on his face was a little unpleasant.
She has lost a lot of weight these days, and her whole person seems to have changed as a person, sad, aggrieved, complaining, with a strong resentment on her body, and even her spirit seems to be gone.
She really didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel to her.
What did she do, she just ran to Changkun Palace and shouted a few words, Lin Yan's premature birth and dystocia were caused by herself, could it be that she pushed her and fell.
She hoped that she would not be able to give birth, and it would be better to die in the delivery room, she didn't believe that the Lin family could send another girl into the palace to be the queen.
She thought that even if something happened to Lin Yan, the emperor would at most reprimand her for a few words, and just lock her up for a while like last time, but in the end, Lin Yan and her little had nothing to do, and the emperor demoted her from a concubine to Zhaoyi.
She, who has been with him for more than ten years and has shared weal and woe with him all the way, is not as good as Lin Yan, a queen who has only been with him for a few years and has only been rich and noble with him
Wu was unwilling and even more unconvinced, so he had more grudges against the emperor.
The second prince came back from the Qinzheng Palace and came to Zhaoyang Palace first.
She looked at the second prince who was helped in, and then looked at the wound on his forehead that was obviously kowtowed, and suddenly got up from the recliner.
She still cared about her son, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, what's the matter with the wound on your forehead, and your face, why is it so red, but your lips are white." ā
She walked over and helped her son to sit down, and soon understood why, and asked, "Are you going to beg your father again?" As he spoke, he shook the handkerchief again, turned sideways, and said with resentment: "I told you a long time ago, don't beg your father and the emperor again, he is now in addition to the prince in addition to Lin Yan and the little thing she gave birth to, where is there our mother and son in his heart, and he is just asking for hardship." ā
The second prince was very happy this time, and said with a smile: "Wrong, this time my father saw me." ā
Wu didn't believe it at first, then he became happy again, grabbed his son's shoulder, and asked, "Really?" Then he asked, "Then did your father say that he would be promoted back to my position?" ā
As he spoke, his eyes turned slightly red, and he said, "I know that your father still has me in his heart, and he punished me just for the Lin family." ā
The second prince said: "My father didn't say that he wanted to restore your position. ā
The second prince was smashed by the good thing that the emperor allowed him to compete fairly with the crown prince, and he had long forgotten the demotion of his mother concubine, it turned out that he saw it as a big thing, the mother concubine became Zhaoyi, and he, the second prince, also changed from the son of the concubine to the son of Zhaoyi, but now it seems to him that it is not a big deal.
The matter of his father allowing him to go to the court should not have been decided just today because he listened to his grievances, he should have had this idea a long time ago, maybe the position of the concubine was to appease the Lin family.
The second prince thought of the prince's disobedience to the emperor, and thought to himself that his father was no longer taking it to heart now, and he would inevitably leave knots and knots in his heart for the prince, and allowing him to compete fairly with the prince might be just to beat the prince.
But it doesn't matter, the prince is impulsive and irritable, and now he has a gloomy personality, even if he doesn't do anything, he will do more and more things that his father doesn't like, he is waiting for the knot in his father's heart to get bigger and bigger, and then it will be his chance.
When Wu heard the news, the expression on his face immediately collapsed again, and he returned to a state of resentment: "I know that I shouldn't expect too much from your father. ā
The second prince smiled and said: "Mother concubine, although my father did not promise to be promoted back to your concubine, my father promised to let me go to the court with the prince to participate in politics." ā
Wu snorted coldly, and said in disbelief: "Your father's favor for the prince has gone to heaven, he can allow you to pose a threat to the prince, and don't use this kind of thing to coax me." ā
The corners of the second prince's mouth couldn't help but curl, and said, "Erchen almost couldn't believe it, but the father really told Erchen like this." ā
People are like this, when the emperor did not allow the second prince to go to court, the Wu family and the Wu family tried all kinds of ways to make him have the same treatment as the crown prince even if they forced the emperor, but when it really happened, they couldn't believe it.
The second prince was afraid that his mother would always be angry with his father, and if he did something to annoy his father and make his court go to ruin, he couldn't help but comfort her: "So mother, although my father has not been promoted back to your concubine, he still has you in his heart." He promised to let his sons go to court, isn't it because of the downgrade that he is compensating you. After all, you were disrespectful in Changkun Palace on the day the queen gave birth, and you also said that your father would always demote your position to give an explanation to the Lin family. So, don't blame your father anymore. ā
Although the Wu family was still a little dissatisfied with the emperor's downgrading of her position, it was indeed a joy to think that his son could go to court like the crown prince.
She would also rather the detailed emperor demote her position in order to appease the Lin family, rather than treat her like this for Lin Yan.
Wu's face finally had a little happy color, and said: "That's okay, you can start to go to court, it is always a great benefit to you, you must fight hard, do a few beautiful errands for your father and emperor, show the civil and military officials, let them know, who is suitable to be the prince." ā
As he spoke, he frowned again, and said, "Also, after you go to court, help the Wu family more." Your grandfather was demoted to the rank of Tobu Squire, and you will find a way to get him back to his place as Shangshu, as well as your uncles. If the Wu family is good, you, the second prince, can also follow suit. ā
Now the Wu family seems to be stuck in a quagmire, although it has not sunk yet, it can't break free and can't go ashore. What made her even more angry was the Zhongshan Hou Mansion, which was originally just a dog of the Wu family, but now she was so angry that she began to dare to raise her eyebrows and raise her eyes at the Wu family.
The Wu family will not fall down so easily, the Jiang family is not willing to be a dog anymore and wants to be the master, she will let them know that a dog will always be a dog.
The second prince frowned, this time Lin Yan's matter, the Wu family brought him such a big trouble, and the prince was already dissatisfied.
Thinking about the dislike shown by my father to the Wu family today, as well as what the Wu family did in the past, there are a few things that really helped him, but they have affected him a lot.
So for the Wu family, he doesn't plan to reach out now. Even in the future, you should get along with the Wu family.
In the past, he was wrong, only by pleasing his father and obeying his father's will wholeheartedly was the royal way, and being close to the Wu family would only make his father dislike.
But the second prince also understood the concubine's dependence and feelings for the Wu family, so he said perfunctorily: "I know." But he said: "But mother, you should also restrain the Wu family a little more, and let them do less things that their father doesn't like." ā
Wu said: "I will naturally advise your grandfather and uncles about this. ā
The second prince said again: "And the concubine, how long has the door of your Zhaoyang Palace been closed, you should also go out and walk around more, do you still want to hide in Zhaoyang Palace for the rest of your life." The queen, you have to make some gestures, even if you do superficial work, you have to ask for a crime, so that the son can ask his father to restore your throne. ā
Wu said angrily: "What are you going out for, let me go and greet the Cui family, let Lin Yan show off her power to me, and then see how all the people in the palace laugh at me, a noble concubine who was demoted to Zhaoyi by the emperor, I don't want to put my face on the ground and let them step on it." ā
The second prince was also a little angry: "If you don't go out, they won't laugh at you." He added: "In a few days, the third princess will be full moon, and my father will hold a full moon banquet for her in the harem, and you, Zhaoyi, will go out." ā
He stood up as he spoke, and said, "In short, Erchen is for your own good, and it is up to you whether you listen or not." ā
Then he prepared to go out from Zhaoyang Palace.
Although the Wu family knew that her son was right, she just couldn't let go of this face, and she was also a little unhappy with the attitude of the second prince.
The second prince walked to the door, as if he had thought of something again, turned around again, and asked Wu, "The sixth uncle should still be in the Xuanguo Mansion, right?" ā
Without waiting for Wu's answer, he continued to speak: "You still remind your grandfather to let him go out less recently, or it is better to let him go outside to hide, and be careful of accidents like Hang Sanye." ā
After saying that, he turned around and went out. (To be continued.) )
