Chapter 364: Loneliness and Resentment
Gongsun thought that she was very determined and patient, but every time she heard the news that the emperor loved the concubine again, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and many years of loneliness in the spring boudoir made her heart gradually distorted, and she almost fell in love with listening to the things in the boudoir between Qi You and Xibao. ,
For this reason, she also specially arranged for the palace people to stay in the Changxin Palace, as long as Qi You pampered Xibao, then she asked the eavesdropping palace people to report the matter one by one, even the process must be detailed, and she is the relay of the palace people, and then fantasize about herself as Xibao, and then seek comfort in her heart and physiology, every time she spits on Xibao's shamelessness, but she never realizes that she has entered a twisted life.
She has always kept this matter a good secret, she has always been a virtuous and virtuous woman in front of the emperor, and she is also a forbearant and loving mother in front of her son, but only she understands the distortion and darkness in her heart.
She was jealous of Xibao, and she was madly jealous of Xibao, which was different from the jealousy of Le's and the princess, and it could even be said that she was jealous.
She is a woman, and she is an extremely smart and sensitive but deep woman, she can feel that Qi You is different from Xibao, it is not an emperor's favor and teasing of the concubine, but a man's **naked** and love for a woman.
If it weren't for the steady and dignified things she had painstakingly built for many years, if it weren't for the hard work she had worked to cultivate such an excellent son, Qi You would have been disgusted with her a long time ago.
The more Concubine Xian thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, as if the resentment in the past few decades had arisen because of Xibao. She never hated Qi You, she just hated those who took Qi You away from her.
The eldest prince saw that the face of the mother concubine was becoming more and more distorted and hideous, and he couldn't bear to say it: "Mother concubine! ”
Concubine Xian was completely immersed in her own sadness and resentment just now, and she was about to have a seizure in front of her son, and she almost lost her sense of proportion, but fortunately she was woken up by the eldest prince in time.
The eldest prince saw that the face of the virtuous concubine who came back to his senses was not very good, so he sighed and said, "Mother, you ...... Son...... Are you alright? ”
"Oh, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about some things from the past. You don't have to worry. Concubine Xian held her forehead and said.
"Mother. My son knows that you are wronged in your heart, and he also knows the distress in your heart, but now it's all over, looking at the entire harem. Who won't let you get three points? Don't let it bother you from the past. Enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren. The eldest prince was reluctant to discuss with his mother what had happened to her, so he smiled and relieved.
"Oh, yes. It's good to have you. Concubine Xian heard her son's worries and smiled: "By the way, how is Mao'er lately, I haven't seen him for a few days." ”
The eldest prince smiled: "That kid has just started to learn to walk, he may be making a fuss, and he can only be well-behaved when you are here, concubine, hey, my son and Ruo'er can't stop him." ”
"Hey, you can pay more attention on weekdays, this Mao'er is really noisy age, Ruo'er is just pregnant, you can't let the collision happen, you know?" Concubine Xian is still very satisfied with the daughter-in-law of this family that she chose for her son.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about this inheritance, since the son and the second prince have been married, it has been more than three years, the son already has a son under his knees, and now the daughter-in-law is pregnant, but the second prince has not moved there yet, and this incident alone has made Concubine Xian very happy for a while.
The eldest prince knew that now only the grandchildren could make his mother a little happier, and secretly made plans in his heart, thinking that if he could let Mao'er enter the palace to accompany his mother, maybe the mother would not be so resentful.
Thinking about the eldest prince, he said: "What the mother concubine said is, but the son is in the yamen most of the time, although there is no shortage of people around Ruo'er, but no one can stop Mao'er's kid, the son thinks, if the mother is willing to help, I want to let Mao'er enter the palace first, and after Ruo'er's baby is safely delivered, the son will take him back, I don't know if it is inconvenient for the mother's side?" ”
"It's convenient, it's convenient, that's natural, but I'm afraid you two won't be able to bear it, but I am afraid that the two of you will be reluctant." Concubine Xian heard that her grandson could enter the palace to accompany her, and her heart was naturally happy, no matter what this generation is, but in the face of the grandson of the younger generation, Concubine Xian really loves it from the bottom of her heart.
The eldest prince smiled: "Since the mother concubine is also willing, then the son will thank the mother concubine in advance." ”
"My own grandson, what are you polite?" Concubine Xian smiled.
"That's also going to cause trouble for the concubine." The eldest prince also smiled.
"Why, I'm too late to be happy, Ao, by the way, has your father said anything recently?" Concubine Xian thought about it.
"The father didn't say anything from there, and the affairs of the son's yamen were quite smooth, but recently the father and emperor have made frequent moves, and the courtiers are somewhat confused." The eldest prince smiled slightly.
"Frequent movements? Isn't it just the matter of the four princes, what else? Concubine Xian asked.
"The matter of the four princes is enough for everyone to speculate, before the father took the four princes into the palace to listen to the government, it is already very puzzling, and now the father has given the palace where he lived as a child to the four princes to live in, such painstaking efforts really make the son feel a little uncomfortable, the son is not happy, the second prince of the queen is not even more displeased, I heard that he has a good temper for this matter." The Great Prince said.
"Yes, no wonder when I saw the queen recently, her face was ugly, yes, your father's move was really a slap in the face, the former gave the second prince the old mansion, and the fourth prince gave the childhood palace, hiss, this emperor is going to muddy the water again." Concubine Xian sighed.
"Yes, my son, I'm also confused, and those advisors are also unpredictable." The eldest prince shook his head and sighed.
The eldest prince accompanied Concubine Xian to chat until lunch before leaving the palace, and Concubine De Le's was also sour after learning the news.
Concubine De has been in a state of falling out of favor since she gave birth to the fifth prince that year, Qi You directly snubbed her because she was disgusted with Le's despicable calculations, and she almost never met in these years, and even Le's son Qi Huanjin rarely saw his father's face.
Now the five princes are six years old, and they also know the warmth and coldness of people, because his mother is not very good at his father's heart, and even he is not very good at recruiting his father to see him.
Le's didn't care at first, she was not in a good mood, where would she care about the child's wrongness, but on this day, after the fifth prince came back from the palace school, he drooped his face and didn't speak, and he still looked very unhappy when it came to dinner.
Le Shi finally noticed it, so he cared: "Sincerely? What's wrong? Did you encounter something unhappy in the palace school today? ”
The fifth prince sighed and said, "Mother? Did you say that my father didn't remember my son at all? ”
"What nonsense? Your father is just busy and doesn't have so much free time, and you are his son, so you should understand more. Listening to his son's words, Le's heart was extremely uncomfortable, but he still patiently comforted the child.
"If my father is busy, why would he be so partial to the four emperor brothers, not only often accompany him to eat, study, and practice martial arts, but also specially gave his childhood dormitory to the four emperor brothers this time, and the people in the palace school said that the father and the emperor are the most favored by the four emperor brothers, mother concubine, I am also the son of my father, why did my father never care about me?" The fifth prince said with resentment.
Le Shi was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath and said: "Who said that your father doesn't care about you, every time you get sick, your father will come to see you no matter how busy he is, this is caring." ”
"But I can't get sick every day!" The fifth prince said aggrievedly.
"Sincerely! No nonsense! Leshi was a little unhappy.
"I'm not talking nonsense, if my father can accompany me every day like he accompanies the four emperor brothers, then it's worth it for me to get sick every day!" The fifth prince shouted angrily.
"Sincerely!" Le Shi snapped.
"What's the matter, I just want my father to accompany me more, I am also my father's son, and other royal brothers can get my father's smile, but why can't I? Why do I have to get sick to win the sympathy of my father, mother, I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it! "The fifth prince is a child in the end, and this inner grievance will follow.
"What do you want? It's all fate! Who made your life bad and became my child, if you became the son of your father's favorite concubine and concubine like the four princes, then your father is naturally willing to accompany you every day! Leshi was also angry.
has been snubbed by Qi You for many years, from a moment of favor to the current desolation and bleakness, Le's has not been able to laugh for a day, she has been resentful and depressed in her heart, and her temper has become strange over the years.
The fifth prince was so murdered by his own mother, this little mouth pouted, and he was so aggrieved that he cried, and continued to shout while crying, Le's was really upset, and when he turned around, he waved the tea set behind him to the ground.
There was a loud noise, the porcelain pieces were broken everywhere, and the five princes who were crying were also frightened, but they grew up and looked at it stupidly, and the palace people at the door were also startled, but no one dared to go in and take a look.
Le's and his son were in such a stalemate for a long time, but the fifth prince reacted and continued to cry to break the depression of this moment, and Le's completely collapsed and shouted: "Cry! Cry! What to cry about! This palace has no ability, you are also a coward, if you want your father's favor, you fight for yourself, fight for yourself, what is the use of crying in this palace, and it makes people upset, don't cry! Xiang Lu! Yimei, bring the five princes down to the palace! ”
In the end, Le's couldn't listen anymore, so he called someone to come in and coax the five princes down.
Yimei was worried that the Le family had been guarding the door of the palace, while Xiang Lu coaxed the five princes to go to the other halls first.
The five princes were treated like this by their own concubines, and their own aggrieved hearts were even more uncomfortable, in Xiang Lu's soft words, the five princes were completely let go, hugged Xiang Lu's waist, leaned on Xiang Lu's arms and cried, and the grievance made Xiang Lu's eyes red.
