After the court, the third prince Xu Jingyu hurriedly went to the harem, and when he arrived at Kunning Palace, he was led to the side hall by the chamberlain, and saw the queen sitting at the dining table, graceful and luxurious, but looking at him coldly.

Xu Jingyu calmed down, took off his cloak and handed it to the chamberlain, took off his robe and knelt down to salute: "The son sees the queen mother, may the queen mother live a long and healthy life!" ”

"Why should the family be formal, get up and sit down!" The queen seemed to be kind, but she didn't seem too close between her eyebrows, and whispered to the housekeeper around her to pass the dishes, and then said to Xu Jingyu, "This palace knows that you must be hungry when you get up in the morning, so I asked the small kitchen to make you a few breakfast that you liked to eat when you were a child!" ”

"Thank you, Son, Queen Mother!" Xu Jingyu sat down and quickly stood up again, bowed and thanked him.

I feel a little flattered in my heart, but I always feel a little frightened.

Although he was raised by the queen's side since he was a child, his biological mother was not the queen, which made him think differently from other princes when he was young.

His biological mother was born humblely, and she was just a maid who was married to the queen, and one day she didn't know what kind of luck she bumped into, but she was able to sleep, and Chunfeng was once fortunate to be pregnant with a dragon fetus.

It's just that the fortune of the self-righteous has not continued, and after the joy, the queen reported to the emperor, only to get the emperor off her slavery and give a small title of picking a girl.

After that, even if she gave birth to a prince under the care of the queen and ranked third, she still failed to be promoted to another place, and she has always retained the identity of a woman. He lived in a remote palace to this day.

He still remembers that when he was a child, he always wanted to sneak away from his biological mother's place, and he coveted his biological mother's gentleness and thoughtfulness.

However, he was discovered by the queen several times, warned him several times, and told him that if he did not obey, he would expel his biological mother from the palace and stop his upbringing.

And the biological mother also cried and begged him not to see him again, and over time, as he grew older. He also faded his dependence on his biological mother. Queen-oriented.

In fact, he didn't have much ambition at first, because of his inferiority complex at birth, he just wanted to be the son of his father, and in the future, he would wait for the eldest brother to inherit the throne. He only asked for the status of an idle prince and was satisfied.

But. God seems to be giving him a chance.

He was five years old. The eldest imperial brother, who was five years older than him, suddenly had a high fever that did not go away, and he had a fever for several days and nights, and the imperial doctors were helpless. even invited a doctor from outside the palace to come into the palace to see a doctor, but he failed to save the life of the eldest prince.

Therefore, Concubine Hui, who was one of the four concubines at that time, was worried about illness, and died as soon as she couldn't afford to get sick.

At that time, he was ignorant, and he only remembered that his biological mother secretly came to see him once, and told him with tears that he must listen to the queen well, and the queen will definitely cultivate him well.

To be honest, he was only five years old and didn't understand what his biological mother meant at all, only that as long as he listened to the queen obediently, he would have the opportunity to see his biological mother at least once a year.

When he grew up to the thirteen-year-old by the side of the empress, whom he respected and feared, there was a sudden absurd rumor that the second prince was obsessed with Buddhism and insisted on becoming a monk despite the dissuasion of the emperor and the concubine at that time.

When he didn't believe it, he went to ask the second emperor brother in person, and the next day, he heard that he really left Beijing to become a monk, and he couldn't even find out where he went.

He remembered that his father was furious at that time and smashed many things in the imperial study, and when he went to court, even the imperial doctor did not dare to speak easily.

The harem is even more gloomy, the concubines are trembling, they have been turned over the green card, there is no joy in the past, and some are just frightened.

At that time, there were many concubines who were demoted and sent to the cold palace.

Even the grief-stricken Concubine Rui was demoted because she was thinking about the second prince, and now she is only a concubine.

So, suddenly, the prince born to a humble maid actually became the eldest son in this palace, and because he was raised in the queen's palace since birth, with the process of increasing year by year, the world seems to forget that he still has a biological mother, only as he is the queen's child.

It's also strange to say that the queen is the mother of the country, no matter what the chances of the rest of the concubines in the harem are to sleep, she must have the least one chance in January, sometimes when there is a solar term or something important in the palace, the emperor stays in Kunning Palace, but after she gave birth to a princess, she has nothing to do.

He still vaguely remembers that ten years ago, the imperial doctor, who was good at gynecology, frequently entered and exited Kunning Palace, at that time, he was only the queen's health was not very good, and he secretly thought in his heart that if the queen returned to heaven, would he be able to return to his biological mother's side, and not think about those things that did not belong to him in his opinion.

Later, when she grew older, she also married a wife and had children, and finally understood that the queen was not terminally ill so she frequently summoned the imperial doctor, but wanted to make up for her body, hoping to give birth to another prince of her own.

This kind of realization made his whole person shiver as if he had been doused with cold ice, and he shuddered when he thought that once the queen had her own prince, his puppet would probably no longer be useful.

Since then, he has always come to the queen's palace, looking at her as if she was kind, but there is only chill in his heart and no emotion.

Fortunately, God has eyes, no matter how many tonic drugs the queen has taken and how many home remedies she has used, she still has not been able to give birth to the son she wants.

So, he became her last dependence again.

"You're getting older, but you're more polite than you used to be!" The queen smiled gently, "However, the queen mother has repeatedly said that the family does not need such a lot of false courtesy, otherwise it will be a raw matter!" ”

"The sons know the etiquette and understand the etiquette, and they are all taught by the queen mother! Moreover, the grace of parents is more important than the mountain, no matter when, the children must know the etiquette and keep the etiquette! Xu Jingyu hid his inner disgust, and he advanced and retreated in a measured way.

Although she is now her only support, she is also her biggest support before the crown prince is in hand, so he still has to be low in front of her before he is fledgling.

Everyone loves to listen to flattery, especially those who have been in a high position for a long time, and if they listen to too much flattery, no one will say it one day, and they will feel empty.

Therefore, the queen was very satisfied, and there was a little more sincerity in her open smile.

The delicate snacks were on the table, and the queen personally sandwiched a piece of crystal cake to Xu Jingyu and said, "Come, taste how it tastes, the queen mother remembers that this is your favorite food when you were a child!" (To be continued......)
