Chapter 503: Scolding and Bringing Yourself
The prince was locked in a secret room, and no one would say a word to him every day, except that someone took turns to guard him and deliver food on time.
For a day or two, the prince may not have anything, but after such a long time, he will feel lonely and lonely, and King Rui wants to break his mental defense line little by little.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has eaten." Ling Xiao carried a food box to the door of the secret room.
Immediately, the door lock opened with a bang, the prince walked quickly to the door, took the food box in Ling Xiao's hand, and when Ling Xiao was about to turn around and leave, the prince suddenly spoke, "Wait, I eat cloth alone with so many meals, otherwise, can you eat some chat with me?" ”
What the? He heard it right, the prince actually invited him to eat and chat together? What is the rhythm of this? Is it trying to get away from here? If that's the case, then he doesn't have to, after all, they are all cronies of King Rui, and they will not betray their masters.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this meal is for you, we all have our own meals." After speaking, Lingxiao walked away.
"Don't go, can you talk to me? This guy, whatever I say to him, he doesn't say a word, don't you just want me to abdicate? I'll abdicate and let Xian go, let me go back, I'll tell my father myself. The prince said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao frowned slightly, I'm afraid this prince is not a fool, right? Sent him to the emperor? Is it for him to speak ill of King Rui?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still don't joke with you, let you leave, you don't dare and can't." After finishing speaking, Ling Xiao walked away, no longer paying attention to what he said later.
Seeing that Ling Xiao ignored him, the prince immediately took off the jade wrench on his finger and stuffed it into the guard's hand, "You let me go, take this wrench, you leave the palace, you can buy a house and land, and how good it is to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law and live a good life." ”
The guard looked at the jade wrench, and then pouted and said: "This thing can't be eaten or drunk, I and my daughter-in-law are both from this Rui Wangfu, the prince treats us very well, bought a field for our family and built a house, I don't want to be the kind of person who has no conscience." With that, he shoved the jade wrench back into the prince's hand and slammed the door shut.
The prince didn't expect that the subordinates of the Rui Wangfu were so difficult to buy, how did this Rui Wang do it? Could it be that he poisoned all these people?
The prince opened the food box and looked at a bowl of white rice and a meat and vegetable meal, although it was not very exquisite, but it tasted excellent, much better than what he had eaten in the East Palace.
King Huai's poison was also relatively smooth, and he used thousands of years of ginseng pieces to hang his life every day, and Yun Zheng's golden needle passed through the acupoint to release the poisonous blood for King Huai, which saved his life.
In a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and according to the convention, fireworks and lanterns are hung in the palace and lantern riddles are guessed.
That night, the courtiers and their families also enjoyed with the king in the harem. Looking at the dazzling eyes blooming in the sky, Gu Yunxin's face raised a faint smile.
looked at Xun'er in his arms, sleeping sweetly, and was not disturbed by the sounds around him.
"Yunxin, if the child is asleep, take the child back to the palace to rest, and live in the palace tonight." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Yes, Grandmother." Gu Yunxin said with a soft smile.
"Imperial grandmother, since the fifth sister-in-law wants to take the child back to rest, then I will also accompany the fifth sister-in-law to rest, otherwise she will be so bored." Zhuo Qian said with a smile.
"Okay, you girl also has a heart, go ahead." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Concubine Xi sat not far away and looked at Zhuo Qian, and she was really hateful in her heart, this Princess Hui had never had her as a mother in her eyes, if it weren't for the fact that her favorite son was still young, she wouldn't have paid attention to King Hui.
King Hui saw Zhuo Qian leaving with Gu Yunxin, and he also came to Concubine Xi, "My son asks my mother to say goodbye." ”
"Hmph, do you still have my mother in your heart? After entering the palace in the evening, he didn't say that he came to see me, but he followed King Rui to worship her mother, who didn't know, and thought that you were also the son of Emperor Mu's concubine. It's a pity that you don't have such a good life, no matter how much you talk to others, your father won't take you to heart. Concubine Xi said with a look of disgust.
"Sister Xifei, don't say that, King Hui has always been friendly with King Rui, and King Hui is doing this because he thinks that you can live a better life in this harem in the future." Feng Guiren on the side flattered.
"Hmph, if King Rui is married, it would be good to give me a good place to live for the elderly, I don't want to follow you to Huizhou." Concubine Xi pouted.
"Mother, fifth brother, he has always been benevolent, if you want to stay in the palace, he will definitely not treat you badly." King Hui said lightly.
"Disadvantage? You just believe in him? That's it, this palace doesn't expect anything from you, just stay aside, don't bother me. Concubine Xi said in disgust.
"Mother, mother, don't blame the sixth brother, the sixth brother is very filial to you." The fifteenth prince raised his little face and said in a milky voice.
"Yes, the concubine listens to you, good boy, what do you want to eat? Tell the mother, and the mother will give it to you. Concubine Xi said softly.
King Hui looked at Concubine Xi's attitude towards the fifteenth prince, this is the scene of filial piety of a mother and son.
But as for him, since this face was ruined, he has never felt his mother's love again.
Before there was no fifteenth brother, Concubine Xi could at least say a few more words to herself, and now that she had the fifteenth prince by her side, she naturally would not take him, a son who would not bring her glory, to heart.
"The mother concubine played slowly with a few mothers, and the son retired first." After finishing speaking, Hui Dynasty saluted Concubine Xi and turned to leave.
When he turned to leave, a trace of tears slipped through the corners of Huiwang's eyes. It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, that is not to the sad place. Thinking about what Concubine Xi said, it made King Hui completely desperate.
King Rui watched all this from a distance, and then said in a deep voice: "Mo Feng, has the matter of Mu Baicha not yet come to fruition?" ”
"Returning to the prince's words, Mu Bai replied that he was a little eyebrows, and now he is looking for evidence, and when the time comes, I am afraid that King Hui will not be able to bear it." Mo Feng said lightly.
"What you should know, you will eventually know that he is a man, if he can't even bear this, how can he protect the person he wants to protect in the future." King Rui said in a deep voice.
"That's what the prince said."
"Let people keep an eye on the affairs in the palace, and report me if there is something." Rui Wang said lightly.
"Yes, lord."
On the other side, Gu Yunxin was walking on the way to Feiyu Palace with the child and Zhuo Qian in her arms, and Hongxuan and Hongling and Zhuo Qian's maidservants were all following her.
"Fifth sister-in-law, to be honest, I don't like Concubine Xi at all." Zhuo Qian pouted.
"I don't like it, but after all, she is the mother of King Hui, you love the house and Wu, and you also want to be filial to Concubine Xi." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
Gu Yunxin naturally knew why Zhuo Qian didn't like Concubine Xi, but even if there was anything wrong with the elders, it was all elders. How difficult it is for Concubine Xi to climb from a servant maid to this position step by step.
Concubine Xi, who is now a concubine, naturally wants to go further, and even ascends to the throne of the queen in one step.
Not to mention that her mother's family has declined, even if her mother's family is strong, the emperor will not make her queen.
The Xiao family is powerful, for so many years, the emperor has always wanted to uproot the Xiao family, although the matter of the king has caused the Xiao family to be hit hard, but it has not yet reached the point of uprooting.
Let's ask, if the emperor eradicates a Xiao family, how can he set up another danger for himself?
"Fifth sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to be filial, they all say that mothers and sons are filial, you see that Concubine Xi speaks, every time she speaks, she has a thorn, anyway, she doesn't like me to be a daughter-in-law, so I just don't bother to say hello to her." Zhuo Qian raised her little face and said unconvinced.
"Even if you don't like her, you don't have to live with her, what you have to take care of is King Hui, you make Concubine Xi lose face, won't she even more provoke King Hui?" Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"According to what you say, it seems to make some sense, but I really don't want to see her, is there a way that I don't have to see her, and she won't embarrass the sixth brother?" Zhuo Qian said with big eyes.
"Well...... It's really difficult. Gu Yunxin smiled lightly.
In fact, Gu Yunxin also knew that King Rui had sent someone to check Concubine Xi's old background since the last incident, but Concubine Xi had been in the palace for a long time, and it was not so easy to find out if she wanted to find out some things.
Especially now, although Concubine Xi does not have the right to manage the six palaces, most of the concubines respect her. How dare those who know about her past tell those secret things?
"Since it's difficult, then I don't want to, it's a big deal, I'll ask her to be safe once or twice a month, if she points fingers at me, I'll be a mad dog barking." Zhuo Qian said helplessly.
Hearing this, Hongxuan and Hongling behind him chuckled, "Princess Hui, you are really funny, if you treat Concubine Xi as a mad dog, then won't King Hui become a puppy?" Why do you still put yourself in this scolding? Hongling smiled and leaned back.
Zhuo Qian scratched her head, stomped her feet and said, "Yes, I seem to have scolded myself too." I'm so stupid. ”
"Okay, okay, don't stomp your feet, let's take a few steps quickly, let's go back to the palace." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
When the group returned to the dormitory, the palace was already lit up, and the house was also placed with a thriving earth dragon, and a faint sandalwood was burning in the cloisonné incense burner on the table.
"Wow, that's good, I heard the sixth brother say that this prince will go out of the palace to build a mansion when he becomes an adult, and the residence in this palace will be taken back. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother temporarily let you stay, and you have to have people clean it in advance, and prepare so many good things. Zhuo Qian said enviously.
As soon as Hongling wanted to speak, he was stopped by Gu Yunxin's look, King Rui has too many privileges in the palace, so that he suffers a lot of jealousy, sometimes, the love of the elders, in the eyes of others, is unfair, and it is the source of envy, jealousy and hatred.
