Chapter 342: Questioning

In fact, for the safety of Xuanqing Palace in the future, and for the sake of the future of the dynasty, the fratricide will not be so tragic, Chunjia has always hoped that the King of Qin, the Seventh Prince, the Nine Emperors, and even the King of Jin will be mediocre.

If this was a normal time, when he heard that Yun Fenghuang was dragging his sick body to assist King Qin's schoolwork, he would have been suspicious, suspecting that the concubine was still coveting the position of the East Palace.

But right now, Yun Fenghuang has just suffered a heavy blow, and the emperor has pity in his heart, so he can't bear or want to consider some aspects, but he feels that it is not easy for the concubine: "The concubine has stood out since she was a child, and it is no wonder that King Qin can't afford to slack off." It's also that King Qin is too stubborn, and he tells the concubine to worry about it. And Zhaoqing is not sensible...... In this way, I went back and quietly summoned the two children to me, and I talked about them. ”

Because the brother and sister were raised by Yun Fenghuan and were very spoiled, although Chunjia felt that they were not intimate enough, he didn't plan to do anything.

So the displeasure caused by the distress of the concubine pointed to ...... The Three Princes.

"Every time the queen mentioned it to me, she was full of praise." The emperor said lightly, "It is said that he is respectful and filial, sensible and considerate, friendly and fraternal, and blameless in schoolwork...... Zhaoqing is now transferred to the girls' school, otherwise, I am afraid that he will be caught up soon...... It's like a very smart child. ”

Yan Yin knew that the emperor had a knot in his heart for the second prince and the third prince, and to be honest, Chunjia couldn't be blamed for this, after all, the remnants of the Ji family were still surviving, and they even had the strength to create all kinds of trouble for the dynasty.

In this case, suppressing the prince with the blood of the Ji family is a necessary measure for the harem of the former dynasty.

But these two princes have never been demons, and they are very well-behaved and tame, especially in the comparison of the two brothers and sisters of King Qin and Zhaoqing, the second prince and the third prince are really very flattering.

He was also a little unbearable in his heart, so he interceded euphemistically: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince is more calm." His Royal Highness King Qin has a lively temperament, and he may not be able to calm down after he has not been enrolled for a long time. In a few days, maybe we will catch up? ”

"Calm heart?" When Chunjia heard this, he looked up at him, smiled, and said, "If you are really a calm person, will you not know what I mean?" Will you not understand your own identity and situation? But he still dared to compete with the King of Qin...... This is clearly ambitious! ”

Yan Yin suddenly didn't dare to speak.

The emperor squinted, thought for a while, and said lightly: "You go and give the queen a reminder, it is natural for the royal children to have great ambitions, but they also want to see what kind of ambition it is, and whether I can do it!" ”

“…… Be. ”

After a long time, Gu Zhen listened to this, and was silent for a long time, and after Yan Yin retreated, he was angry and took the case: "Just because King Qin can't compare to Bing'er in class, it is not enough for the concubine to tutor King Qin in private, and she has to ask His Majesty to come forward in person to suppress Bing'er?!" ”

"Mother's anger." Both left and right advised, "The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more." You think that Your Majesty is not very close to the second prince and the third prince, and the other princes have come out, and Your Majesty is happy in his heart. But

The words of the second prince and the third prince...... Think about the floods in the south back then, as well as the palace changes, and the matter of Huizhou this time, I don't know outside, we have news from my uncle, isn't it clear? The foreign family of the two highnesses has not yet been wiped out, this is called Your Majesty, called the former courtiers, how can there be no doubts in their hearts? ”

"Your Majesty has passed on this word, and it may not all be for Xuanqing Palace, maybe Your Majesty himself has this meaning? After all, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is pressing His Royal Highness King Qin's schoolwork, and it hasn't been a day or two, so why haven't you seen His Majesty come forward in person before? ”

The most important thing is, "After Ming'er and our Royal Highness the Ten Princes enter school, if His Royal Highness the Third Prince is still pressed on the top, this is ......"

The Ten Princes and the Twelve Princes are the key points!

The other princes are just raising them by the way!

Originally, according to the plan, the middle palace had already begun to hint that the third prince should be more restrained and stop showing such talent and intelligence. Now that the emperor himself has spoken, isn't it just the right time to shake the pot? In the future, the third prince will complain, just complain about his father, and it has nothing to do with you, the queen mother!

Gu Zhen said angrily: "Why don't you know these truths? But have you thought about it? Even if His Majesty originally meant this, he didn't mention it earlier, but now that the concubine is working hard, he will mention it, so when the prince is established in the future, the concubine will work hard and be angry, will Your Majesty also rely on her? ! ”

"This ......" looked at each other for a moment, and whispered, "How can Your Majesty be disproportionate in such a big matter?" ”

The queen sighed and said a little weakly: "But hope." ”

She used to trust Chunjia very much, but now...... I really can't settle down in my heart.

The key is that she has nothing to do but just watch the emperor greet the concubine and care for her!

It's very helpless.

The helpless queen calmed down for a long time, ordered someone to summon the three princes to her, first cared about the recent situation, and finally said the emperor's request with some embarrassment, although the wording was euphemistic, the meaning was very clear, that is, let him not only not press the king of Qin in the classroom in the future, but it was better to be inferior than other brothers.

It's almost like directly arranging for this child to be at the bottom of the list.

The third prince was happy to be alone with her at first, but when he heard this, he fell silent for a moment.

In the end, it was a child raised single-handedly, looking at his instantly gloomy expression, the queen was also very sad in her heart, and couldn't help but comfort: "Don't think about it so much, anyway, you are a prince, and you are already noble and extraordinary." Even if the schoolwork is inferior, it will be indispensable in the future. ”

"Then why does Erchen's schoolwork have to be inferior?" The third prince raised his head, looked at her, and asked in a low voice, "Is it because ...... Father and emperor, don't like his sons? ”

For Gu Zhen's personality, it is really difficult to give a positive answer to this question.

She didn't come out of anything, and she made it clear that she wouldn't do anything in the future.

The third prince was the first child she raised.

At that time, she was not in the palace concubines

Eye.

And have become accustomed to being inconspicuous.

The emperor didn't like her either, and she didn't expect to be canonized, so she felt that she could only guard this child for the rest of her life. Under this consideration, the issue of the life of the three princes is insignificant at all. After all, there are still many concubines who have no children under their knees, and they are facing the fate of being thrown to the palace to fend for themselves once Chunjia dies.

She poured real effort and affection into the three princes, and this kind of hard work and feelings were different from the later Chu kings, the tenth princes, and the twelve princes.

How so?

Gu Zhen raised the three concubines of King Chu and the other three concubines for his own status in the Qingci Palace in the future, and also for the sake of the great Gu family.

Only the third prince, the first child to come to her, in Gu Zhen's opinion, was for himself.

Purely for herself.

As far as the lintel of the Gu family is concerned, they have an extra future concubine, which is actually not very able to save their situation of having no successor.

When Gu Zhen raised the third prince, the Gu family was not too close to her.

At that time, this prince came to her knees, which was most meaningful to her, whether it was the whereabouts of the emperor she was serving after his death, or the years to come in the deep palace, she suddenly had sustenance.

Later, there were more and more children in front of her, and they were all princes, and they all had brighter and more ambitious prospects than the third prince, but these were all won by the family and raised for the family.

She also needs their affection, but this is nothing more than for the sake of wealth and prosperity in the future.

Rather than simply, as a mother, you need the attachment of your children.

Now facing the third prince's inquiry, Gu Zhen was silent for a long time before he reluctantly smiled and said, "Why does your father not like you?" It's just ......"

"Queen Mother!" The third prince suddenly raised his voice and interrupted her.

This seemed to be the first time this kid had done this, so that Gu Zhen was a little stunned.

She has the impression that Gong Xiangbing has always been tame and sensible, considerate and well-behaved, respectful and admiring her, and never made such a move that did not even have the patience to listen to her finish speaking.

It can be seen that this child is really anxious.

The queen sighed in her heart, and listened to the third prince's hurried, with a little fear and cringe, and continued to ask: "Queen Mother, the son-in-law heard the palace people say that it is because the son-in-law's mother is from a bad background and is deeply disgusted by his father, so the son-in-law is not liked by his father, is this so?" ”

Which said this?!

Gu Zhen frowned slightly, and said in his heart, the Imperial City Division is also a waste! Since the middle palace has been cleaned up, how can there be such a fish that has slipped through the net?!

Or is the Imperial City Division also watching the dishes and eating, and thinks that the three princes are not favored by the emperor, so they can turn a deaf ear? If so, she, the queen, will not give up!

The queen settled down and asked, "Who told you this?" How? Do you believe in a slave who serves us, or do you believe in a mother? ”

“…… In the early years, when I was settled, I listened to the nurses

Yes, a lot of people say that. The third prince bit his lip, lowered his head, and said with a little choked, "Queen Mother, Erchen is no longer a child of three or four years old!" Erchen knows that the queen mother is kind-hearted, and he can't bear to feel sad and sad! But now that the son has grown up, he still invites his mother...... Tell the truth to your sons!! ”

As he spoke, he knelt down, walked to her on his knees, stretched out his hand to support her knees, and whimpered, "Over the years, although my father has been busy with government affairs, when he comes to the harem, he will often hug his fifth brother and them...... But he never hugged his son! In the past, the queen mother always had a reason to explain, but now that she has grown up, she already knows. If the father really cares about his sons and daughters so much, how can he not even have time to hug his sons? Erchen still remembers that when his father went to inspect the classroom, the eldest brother and the eldest sister surrounded him and laughed and played, and the father was very patient to talk and play with them every time...... But he didn't even look at Erchen! ”

"Erchen has really grown up, and he doesn't want to listen to the mother's kind prevarication anymore."

"Ask the queen mother to tell her son the truth, okay?"

"......" Gu Zhen's heart stinged, she couldn't wait to go to Chunjia to fight immediately, yes, the Ji family is a master, and the biological mother of the second prince and the third prince, Ji Duzi, was not a gentle and virtuous master when she was alive, but the emperor has already destroyed the great Ji clan, even if there are still remnants outside, the child is innocent!

It's still Chunjia's own flesh and blood!

Can't you give even a little bit of pity?!

"The second prince under your knee with Concubine Shu was originally a twin brother." The queen was silent for a long time, but finally sighed, rubbed the top of his hair, and whispered, "I guess you have heard the people below talk about this?" Even if you haven't heard of it, just by looking at your second brother's appearance, you should know that you were originally closer than the other brothers. In fact, the reason why your father is alienating and cold to your brother may be to protect you...... After all, your biological mother, the Ji family from whom she was born, offended people a lot back then......"

In the end, she couldn't bear to let the third prince face the most vivid truth, that is, in Chunjia's heart, King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing, who were favored by ordinary people, could give up anytime and anywhere, let alone the Ji bloodline of the second prince and the third prince.

After thinking about it, he lied and said, "Your father is busy with government affairs, and your mother is ...... The queen mother's means are limited, you only look at your five brothers, ten brothers, and twelve brothers, all of whom are in the name of sisters-in-law, and there are still disasters, let alone you? Your father personally spoke this time, just because he was afraid that you would be too prominent and be targeted, so that you would be murdered! ”

"In fact, he did this, which shows that he still cares about your brother in his heart."

"Otherwise, why bother mentioning this?"

"Besides, do you think that if you don't pay attention to you, why do you arrange for your brother's adoptive mother, one is the palace and the other is the concubine? This palace and Concubine Shu are both old people who entered the palace when your father and emperor got married, and they can better protect you if they stay in the palace for a long time. Replaced those young concubines, I'm afraid that you have already fallen into the dark! ”

"So it's not that your father doesn't love you, it's that he, as the Son of Heaven, is involved in the Tai

Many, it's not good to feel distressed, understand? ”

“…… The queen mother, since the queen mother is an old man who entered the palace when her father got married, she has stayed in the palace for a long time and can better protect her sons, but her father still doesn't feel sorry for her sons. The third prince was really smart, and when he heard this, he only thought about it for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice, "Then, it will target the sons, is it...... Is it a noble concubine?! ”
