When Zhu Hejian and the imperial concubine Wan met and talked, the expressions, movements, and performances of the two were like acting, seemingly loving and filial piety, and harmony, but in fact, there was a feeling of alienation and coldness, and even mutual resentment.

However, in the face of the performance of Zhu Hejian and the imperial concubine Wan, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids seemed to be accustomed to it, and no one felt strange, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly, for fear of being angered.

The imperial concubine Wan is already more than forty years old, but she is well maintained, she looks like she is only in her early thirties, with a plump figure, fair skin, beautiful eyebrows and apricot eyes, and distinct facial features.

It's just that a pair of upturned eyebrows will give people a sense of decisiveness and assertiveness.

Over the years, the imperial concubine Wan has always been favored by Emperor Deqing, and she is the biological mother of the crown prince Zhu Heyu and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, which makes her status in the harem extremely noble, and she is faintly above the current queen, although she is not like the queen, but she is also better than the queen.

In fact, when the queen saw the imperial concubine Wan, she was always careful, and Wan's was in this harem, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was covering the sky with one hand.

At this time, after sitting for the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, the imperial concubine Wan said meaningfully: "I heard that your father and the emperor were in the early court of the imperial court, and he opened his mouth to blame the prince again?" Hey, the crown prince is indeed a little impulsive, but your father should not open his mouth to reproach him in front of the Manchu civil and military, which will damage the prestige of the crown prince...... I heard that you have been meeting with your father a lot recently, and when you find an opportunity, you have to persuade your father that the dignity of the crown prince still needs to be deliberately maintained, don't you say? “

Zhu Hejian still looked respectful with low eyebrows, and said: "Erchen also thinks so, and has found many opportunities to secretly persuade his father, but unfortunately he can't listen to his father at all. “

At this time, the imperial concubine Wan was still full of love and closeness, but the gaze in her eyes was cold, and she stared at Zhu Hejian quietly for a long time before asking, "Did you really do your best to help the prince?" After all, the prince is your own brother, and he has always treated you sincerely, so don't be perfunctory. “

Zhu Hejian's eyes flashed slightly, his tone was faintly stiff, and he said: "Third brother, how he treats Erchen, Erchen naturally doesn't know, but where he should do his best, Erchen has indeed done his best...... However, you have always been deeply trusted by your father, so why can't you tell your father about the third brother in person? If you can do your best to protect the third brother, I am afraid that the father will also have to save some face. “

Hearing Zhu Hejian say this, the eyes of the imperial concubine Wan became more and more cold, and she looked at Zhu Hejian's gaze as if she had seen a mortal enemy.

Then, Wan's tone also became cold, and said: "I'm already old, where can I compete with those newcomers for favor?" In front of your father, you don't speak as well as you used to.

After your father's southern tour, he brought back a young woman named Li Jiamin from Jiangnan, who was the daughter of Li Xin, the former Huaiyin Zhixian County, and heard that her father was imprisoned for the prince's trial of the 'Southern Tour Preparation Fraud Case', this woman personally went to His Majesty to sue the emperor, and after His Majesty saw her, he was so confused that he did not hesitate to damage the prestige of the prince and personally overturned the case for Li Xin...... Huh, what a grace is that?

After the end of the southern tour, this Li Jiamin was recruited into the palace by His Majesty, but in just over two months, he was promoted from a mere nobleman to a concubine, and His Majesty would sleep in her palace half of the time! By now, this Li Jiamin's limelight has faintly overshadowed me, this woman has a grudge against the prince, even if I speak for the prince, where can I match her pillow wind?

The crown prince has been repeatedly reprimanded by His Majesty during this time, and in my opinion, it is all because of this slut's secret demagogy! “

Speaking of the back, a trace of hideousness flashed on the beautiful face of the imperial concubine Wan.

In fact, the matter is far more serious than Wan's description, since Li Jiamin entered the palace, the imperial concubine Wan has been faintly aware of the threat, and has been trying to suppress Li Jiamin, but he didn't expect Li Jiamin to be quite scheming, first forbearance to collect evidence, and finally made trouble to Emperor Deqing, and Emperor Deqing also reprimanded the imperial concubine Wan because of this matter!

For so many years, Emperor Deqing reprimanded Wan for the first time!

Since then, Wan's image in the eyes of Emperor Deqing has been stained, from a flawless concubine to a jealous woman who does not compromise means, so that Emperor Deqing's favor for Wan's is also much worse than before.

Because of this, after seeing the recent encounter of Prince Zhu and Yu, although the Wan family wanted to help, they were also powerless.

On the other side, after hearing Wan's remarks, a trace of disdain flashed in Zhu Hejian's eyes.

With Emperor Deqing's imperial mentality, how could he treat his prince badly because of a concubine's pillow wind? The reason why the prince has fallen into today's situation is completely self-inflicted! Wan has been indulging in the harem for favor over the years, and his vision has gradually narrowed, and he actually thinks that Emperor Deqing has repeatedly reprimanded the prince because of Li Jiamin's demagoguery, which is really ridiculous.

It's a pity that Wan is in the middle, but he still doesn't know it.

However, on the surface, Zhu Hejian still looked like he was sticking to the principle of respect and humility, and persuaded the Wan family: "Mother, it's better not to say this in the future, if it spreads, I'm afraid my father will be unhappy, and then you will be angry with your father again." “

Wan Shi snorted coldly, his eyes were fixed on Zhu Hejian, but he changed his words and said: "However, what makes me curious is that that Li Jiamin is just a newcomer to the harem, and she was originally just the daughter of a magistrate, but why does she know His Majesty's temperament and preferences so well?" It was easy to win the favor and favor of His Majesty, coupled with her sudden appearance...... It's like she has someone behind her back, specifically to compete with me for favor! “

Zhu Hejian's expression remained unchanged, but he lowered his head and said: "Mother, you think about it too much, where can there be such a thing!" I think this noble man was born with such a temperament, which just echoed his father's temper. “

In fact, when Emperor Deqing was on his southern tour, he would meet Li Jiamin, all because of the arrangement of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, Li Jiamin was promoted to concubine so soon after entering the palace, and it was all because Zhu Hejian secretly instructed the inner court to help with all his might!

And Zhu Hejian arranged for Li Jiamin to enter the palace precisely to shake Emperor Deqing's favor for Wan's family!

Otherwise, under the influence of the imperial concubine Wan, Emperor Deqing might not be able to make up his mind to depose the crown prince Zhu Heyu so quickly!

It can be said that in order to compete for the storage position, Zhu Hejian took all the factors into account!

In order to achieve his goal, Zhu Hejian even did not hesitate to provoke the feelings between Emperor Deqing and the Wan family, shaking his biological mother's status in the harem!

In this regard, Zhu Hejian did not have any feelings of guilt and regret.

In fact, Zhu Hejian's feelings for the imperial concubine Wan are still mostly resentful!

Imperial Concubine Wan's feelings for Zhu Hejian are about the same!

In the eyes of the imperial concubine Wan, although Zhu Hejian and Zhu Heyu are both their own sons, their status is completely different!

Wan's status in the harem was not high, but after she became pregnant with Zhu Heyu, she gradually gained the honor of today's harem by virtue of her mother and son! It can be said that the appearance of Zhu Heyu has created today's Wanshi! Therefore, Wan's love for the crown prince Zhu Heyu is also very much, and he has great expectations, which can be described as doting and omnipotent.

But Zhu Hejian is completely different, after giving birth to Zhu Heyu, Wan's has not yet taken care of his body, and he does not plan to give birth again in a short time, but Wan's really can't resist the interest of Emperor Deqing, and he has not yet taken care of his body, so he is pregnant with Zhu Hejian again! Therefore, Zhu Hejian is completely "unplanned product" for Wan's, and after Wan's pregnancy with Zhu Hejian, she has been tortured, and when she gave birth to Zhu Hejian, it brought great harm to her body, so she has never liked Zhu Hejian!

In addition, because Wan needed to recuperate, Zhu Hejian's health was also not good after he was born, and he was raised by another concubine, so there was really not much affection between the mother and son, and a series of follow-up things - such as Wan's blind favoritism towards Zhu Heyu, and Wan's assassination of Zhu Hejian's adoptive mother, and Zhu Hejian's resistance - also made the relationship between the two parties gradually change from cold to hateful!

The funny thing is that although the two hate each other, they both need to maintain their image in front of Emperor Deqing, so they have been performing the drama of "mother and son filial piety", which has been played for more than ten years, because the mother and son are both superb in acting, even the prince Zhu and Yu did not notice too many abnormalities.

But now, as the crown prince Zhu Heyu's position as the prince is gradually unstable, and Zhu Hejian will replace him at any time, both sides have lost the patience to continue acting.

*

didn't talk about Zhu Hejian's past relationship with the imperial concubine Wan, but said that after Wan saw that Zhu Hejian had been avoiding his questioning, his eyes became more and more cold.

Then, Wan Shi waved to the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids: "You guys go down for the time being, I have something to discuss with the Seventh Prince." “

After hearing Wan's order, the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids all looked like they had been pardoned, and hurriedly left one after another.

Once, when Zhu Hejian and Wan were talking, a certain palace maid accidentally heard a few more words, and was killed by Wan Shi for a reason, no wonder these eunuchs and palace maids looked terrified.

After all the palace maids and eunuchs left, only the imperial concubine Wan and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian were left in the palace.

Then, the mother and son also took off their disguises, and they could no longer see any "mother and son", the imperial concubine Wan's expression was cold, and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian was indifferent.

"Zhu Hejian, you tell me the truth! That slut named Li Jiamin, was it really not you who arranged to enter the palace? Also, Your Majesty has repeatedly reprimanded the crown prince recently, are you really behind the scenes? “

Wan Shi called Zhu Hejian by name and asked coldly.

After no outsiders were present, Zhu Hejian also lost his deference to Wan's, and replied expressionlessly: "At the beginning, I secretly went to my father's imperial study with my third brother to play, and accidentally broke my father's favorite vase......

Speaking of this, Zhu Hejian raised his eyes to look at the imperial concubine Wan, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and asked: "Now, even if the son says that these things have nothing to do with the son of the minister, will the mother concubine believe it?" “

Seeing that Zhu Hejian didn't deny it at all, Wan couldn't help but be furious and said, "Not only do you covet your brother's storage position, but you also calculate your own biological mother!" All right! I really gave birth to a good son! “

In the face of Wan's accusation, Zhu Hejian was still expressionless, and said slowly: "Frame the prince and the mother...... It's not the first time this kind of thing has been done, why are you so angry, mother? The first time Erchen did this kind of thing, it was entirely because of the teachings of his mother! Although Erchen is not a good person, but the third brother who you hold in the palm of your hand and love him in every way, his storage position is so clean? He just thinks he is clean, and all the dirty things behind his back are all done by his mother and sons! “

Hearing Zhu Hejian's response, Wan fell silent.

Zhu Heyu did not get the crown prince at birth, he was the third among the princes, and there were two princes in front of him, of which the second prince was born to the current queen, and he was the rightful heir to the throne.

However, after a court case, the second prince suddenly drowned, and all suspicions pointed to the eldest prince, and finally Zhu Heyu, who was the third in line, became the new prince.

Except for Zhu Hejian and the imperial concubine Wan, no one knows the truth of this matter!

In fact, all of this is a conspiracy between the imperial concubine Wan and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian!

From a legal point of view, the queen is also Zhu Hejian's mother, so Zhu Hejian said more than once that he "framed the prince and harmed his mother", which is not wrong.

It is precisely because of this incident that the imperial concubine Wan and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian grabbed each other's handles, so Wan knew Zhu Hejian's cold temperament very well, and Zhu Hejian never concealed his true ambition in front of Wan, so the relationship between the mother and son became weaker and weaker, and many times it was just a relationship of mutual use.

After being silent for a long time, Wan's tone was a little weak, and he said in a low voice: "No matter what, your third brother has always treated you very well, and he is all sincere, so you really can't bear to hurt him?" “

Zhu Hejian was silent this time and didn't answer at all, but his eyes were still full of indifference and did not change at all.

Seeing Zhu Hejian like this, Wan couldn't help but get angry again.

However, at this moment, a little eunuch entered the palace in horror and reported: "Imperial Concubine and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, His Majesty has just sent someone to send a message, saying that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince should go to the imperial study to face the saint. “

After hearing the little eunuch's report, Zhu Hejian regained a deferential expression on his face, but he didn't have any intention of staying, and saluted to the imperial concubine Wan: "Since it was summoned by the father, the son will go, and I hope that the mother concubine can pay attention to her body." ”

Wan Shi looked at Zhu Hejian fixedly, and only said after a long time: "Since this is the case, you can go." ”
