The queen never expected her son to say such a thing, she couldn't help but think of her own experience, and her face was bitter: "Silly boy, what's so good about such a girl?" You snubbed her, and she can still enjoy herself, which only proves that she has no mercy for you. As a wife, how can she be a good wife if she has no affection for her husband? The Queen Mother will never let you suffer such a grievance! ”

The eldest son of the emperor disagreed with her opinion: "The queen mother, the son-in-law is not the prince, and in the future, she is destined to put her mind on government affairs, and it is impossible to be in love." The wife of the son only needs to fulfill her due responsibility, and she does not need to have much affection for the son. Since the sons can't be devoted to her, why should she be required to be devoted to the sons? ”

The queen looked at her son's eyes as if he had said something ridiculous: "Then according to what you say, it is good that your wife does not love you?" Are you so confused that you would say such a thing? ”

The eldest son of the emperor lowered his head and said, "That's not what Erchen meant. Erchen just felt ...... In life, there are still many things that can be done, and taking the love between men and women too seriously will only lead to mistakes. If Erchen is just an ordinary person, or a child of an ordinary clan, thinking about things all day long, it doesn't matter, it's just a mistake for his future. If Ke'er is the prince of a country, but he takes love too seriously, it is very likely that he will miss a major event, and it will be the subjects of the world who are wrong at that time. Of course, it would be best if the son's wife could respect the son, but the son's hope that she would not pay too much attention to these, because the son-in-law could not accompany her, so she became depressed. Wouldn't it be more troublesome for the ministers to be distracted and worry about her while they were busy with government affairs? ”

The queen said disapprenously: "If your wife loves you more than you, even if she feels uncomfortable, she should not bother you." If you want to worry about her, it's her not. But you shouldn't choose a wife who doesn't love you because of this little worry. You don't have to say it, the queen mother will choose a good wife for you who understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into account, and forget about the girl of the Li family. If you really like it, it doesn't hurt to make her a side concubine. ”

The eldest son of the emperor whispered: "The retainer doesn't want a side concubine. Didn't the queen mother say it...... Shouldn't there be someone else involved between husband and wife? The father and mother have been in love for many years, and the sons and daughters are also very envious. ”

The queen smiled wryly: "You stupid boy, how can this be the same......"

"What's the difference?" The emperor suddenly interjected, "My son is so sensible, because you teach by word and deed, you will say such things." Shouldn't you be happy? ”

The queen suddenly turned her head to look at him, and her face changed: "What is the emperor implying by this?" ”

The Emperor sneered: "What can I hint at? The queen is now more and more confused. Could it be that Da Lang is smart and sensible, and understands things, but you have to ask him to do what you say, are you really thinking about him, or is it just for your own face? ”

The queen was shocked, glared at the emperor and didn't speak, and the eldest son of the emperor saw that he was worried, and hurriedly begged: "Father, mother, please stop arguing." He went to ask the queen again: "Queen Mother, Erchen really has no dissatisfaction with this marriage, the girl of the Li family, and Erchen also fancy it." The daughters of the high-ranking families that the queen mother wants, the sons have not seen them, but no one can call them the sons and daughters. Don't be angry anymore, just be a son! ”

The queen was so angry that she stomped her feet: "What stupid thing are you talking about?" I'm not making this scene here for you, aren't I?! As a result, it didn't work out, and her son came to dismantle her stage, so how could she not be angry?

The second son of the emperor, who had been hiding behind the palace gate, suddenly rushed over and pushed the eldest son away: "Brother Huang, don't coax the queen mother anymore, you just said it for a long time, don't you just dislike the queen mother and mess with her father all day long about the matter of accepting concubines, don't you know the general situation?" The queen mother thinks about you everywhere, how can you stand on your father's side and hurt the queen mother's heart? You are unfilial! ”

The emperor, empress and the eldest son didn't expect the second son to suddenly rush in, and they were all stunned. The emperor was the first to react and said angrily: "Erlang, shut up!" ”

The second son of the emperor did not obey, but was not to be outdone, and glared at his father: "The father doesn't have to stop the son, the son just tells the truth." The emperor's brother can get his father's son to loosen his mouth and establish a prince, isn't it the credit of the queen mother? Now that he can establish a reserve, he dislikes his mother, isn't this unfilial piety? He hugged the queen's arm and said angrily: "Don't be angry, the queen mother, you still have sons, and sons will be filial to you." ”

The queen looked at the second son, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She hugged her youngest son and choked up: "The queen mother knows your filial piety, but your imperial brother is your brother, and you shouldn't accuse him." The Queen Mother believes that your royal brother did not mean that. ”

The eldest son of the emperor hurriedly defended: "Yes, brother Huang, you misunderstood." As a brother, he just doesn't want his father and mother to continue to quarrel. ”

The second prince sneered: "You say it well, don't try to deceive me." If you really feel sorry for your mother, you shouldn't stand on the side of your grandmother and father and bully your mother, but just listen to your mother's orders. The queen mother is dedicated to your good, but you are only thinking about pleasing the emperor's grandmother and father for the sake of the throne, ignoring the queen's wishes. And now you're pretending to be in front of me! ”

The eldest son of the emperor only felt that he had died unjustly, looked at his parents helplessly, and his eyes were red: "I didn't!" ”

Although the queen felt that the words and deeds of the eldest son did not satisfy her, she did not believe the accusations of the second son. What she was most worried about at the moment was that the relationship between her two sons seemed to have deteriorated. What's going on? She played the round helplessly: "Don't quarrel, what is there to quarrel between brothers?" If you have something to say, it's good to say. ”

The emperor was already extremely discouraged at this time: "The queen will play a round now, but if you didn't always speak inappropriately in front of Erlang and teach a good child badly, how could he say such a thing?" Now that our husband and wife are separated and our son is out of harmony, the former family harmony is like a joke. Seeing such a situation, is the queen satisfied? ”

The queen said angrily: "What is the emperor's words? Is this my responsibility?! ”

"Didn't you teach your children to be like this?" The emperor lightly summoned the palace people and ordered them to take the second son of the emperor away, not to bring him back to the Qianqing Palace, but to place him in the residence of the prince where Qianxi Wu was located, and was strictly guarded by the guards and palace people, grounded for three months, and copied the scriptures ten times.

This "scripture meaning" refers to all the classics of the Four Books and the Five Classics. It would be impossible to copy them all ten times, and it would never be possible to complete them in three months. The emperor also specially instructed that if the copy was not completed for one day, the second son of the emperor would not be allowed to leave the five institutes in the west for one day, which clearly meant that he would be severely punished for more than three months. When the queen heard this, she cried out for her son: "Your Majesty, Erlang is just rude to his brother, and it's not a big deal, how can you punish him so heavily?!" ”

The emperor said coldly: "Contradicting my father and offending my eldest brother is not a big deal in the eyes of the queen?" Does it have to wait until he plots to usurp the throne and kill his father and brother that the queen thinks it's a big deal? ! ”

The queen's face was as white as paper, and she said in a trembling voice: "You are so suspicious of your own son?!" She called out to her eldest son: "Da Lang, what are you going to say!" ”

The eldest son of the emperor was about to open his mouth, but the emperor stopped him: "Those who are the king should make a decision, and they should not be mistaken by personal feelings." If you are just a child of the clan, you must be a good brother and don't care about your brother's offense, I can do it to you. But now that you are the prince of a country, you cannot have the kindness of a woman. Besides, I'm just punishing your brother for copying books, so what grievances can I make him suffer? It's time to tell him to reflect on what he has done wrong. The emperor's eldest son paused and closed his mouth in embarrassment.

Although he felt sorry for his younger brother, he would not watch his younger brother go the wrong way. Even if his mother and younger brother complained about him, he admitted it. When the queen saw his reaction, her heart couldn't help but feel cold. The eyes of the second prince became more and more resentful.

The emperor said to him: "In the next year, I will order the prince to teach you the truth, if you don't have to do your homework, you can be grounded in the five institutes of Qianxi for a while." I do what I say, don't think that just by yelling at me, you can make me change my mind! In the past, I was too lenient with you, but today I will let you understand that since you call yourself a son in front of me, you should understand that you are a son and a courtier! What is the gift of a minister, you can learn it from me! ”

The second son of the emperor trembled, and his face turned a little blue. He looked at his father who suddenly changed his face in a daze, remembering that his father, who was gentle and loving and never angry with him, suddenly realized that the other party was so strange.

The chamberlain stepped forward to ask the second son of the emperor to move, but he hugged the queen's arm tightly and refused to leave, until the emperor sank his face, and he was pulled away by several chamberlains. But before he left, the cry of the little princess came from the inner hall, and she kept calling her mother, and she didn't know why she had a seizure. The nurse coaxed her helplessly, for fear of disturbing the emperor, so she hurriedly took the child away, and the crying became distant.

The queen only felt that her heart was like a knife, and she looked at the emperor with hatred: "The emperor has such a hateful heart!" first disliked the concubines, but now they don't even care about their children! Does the emperor think that if the concubines and the emperor are forced to death as soon as possible, no one will stop the emperor from accepting concubines? When the time comes, there will be a new person to give birth to the emperor, and the emperor is not rare at all for the children born by the concubines, isn't it?! ”

The emperor looked at her expressionlessly, looked at her for a long time, and saw that she felt a great uneasiness in her heart, but she refused to admit defeat: "What is the emperor glaring at me?" Am I not right? ”

The emperor smiled lightly: "The queen has been confused for a long time, and she has always only been able to say foolish things, but today there is a sentence that is right - the queen has been ill for a long time, and she can't raise the emperor's heir, and the harem affairs have to worry about the queen mother, which is not a long-term solution." In my harem, it's really time to add new people. ”

The empress only felt five thunderbolts and glared at the emperor in disbelief. Even if she has been suspicious countless times, she always buries the emperor with words such as liking the new and hating the old, and being unhappy, but there is a fact that she herself has to admit - that is, the emperor has never relented and agreed to accept the concubine. No matter how much she complained, she knew that no one outside the palace could win this honor. Even if it was something that would happen sooner or later, she still had the confidence to do so before that day came.

However, the emperor, who had always refused to accept concubines, now said that he wanted to add a new person. She only felt that the strength of her whole body was gone, and the sky was spinning in front of her. (To be continued.) )
