Chapter 1285: The eldest son
The tall and majestic city gate is close in front of him, Prince Kang's heart can't help but be a little agitated, twenty years, he has returned to the capital only a handful of times in the past twenty years, and people are almost forgetting him as the eldest prince!
Maybe for everyone, when he took the initiative to ask to go to South Vietnam, he took the initiative to give up the throne, but he was retreating, after all, with his father's dislike for him, as well as the favor of the three emperors, and Zhu Guifei, they were eyeing him, if he continued to stay in the capital, I am afraid that he would have been calculated and made a big mistake.
Everything that has happened now is enough to prove the correctness of his original decision, the power of Zhu Guifei and the second emperor has been weakened, Concubine Rou Niangniang and the third emperor's brother have also lost the grace of the year, and the concubines and princes below are all eyeing that son, and then regard the two of them as the first obstacle.
On the other hand, what about yourself who once had nothing but a background? In recent years, not only has the development of South Vietnam flourished, but also won the mercy of his father step by step, although his father still did not consider making himself the crown prince, but at least now he not only occupies the name of the eldest son, as well as the favor of his father, but also makes him the most confident South Vietnam.
Everyone thinks that South Vietnam is a poor and uncivilized land, but they don't know that today's South Vietnam is no longer the South Vietnam of the past, where there are rich products, and the trade in the port has brought him a lot of wealth, and he can say without exaggeration that his once most favored royal brothers are not as rich as his.
Everyone is pitying him, but they don't know that he is also pitying these people who are fascinated by the power and prosperity of the capital, he can come back again when he goes out, these people have never even gone out, they never know what the outside world is like, and they never know what kind of power the emperor can hold in one place.
It is precisely because he has governed South Vietnam that Prince Kang is even more reluctant to hand over this world to other younger brothers, first, because he does not want others to discover the prosperity of South Vietnam under his rule, because once it is discovered, his peaceful life will be gone, and second, he is confident that no one will be more talented than him to govern this world.
"Rui'er, this is the capital, your imperial grandfather is waiting for us in the city!" Prince Kang looked at Xiao Ruidao with burning eyes.
Xiao Rui has grown into a handsome young man, he has handsome facial features, and his figure is even more upright than Prince Kang, and he has attracted the attention of many people on horseback.
"Father, I will not live up to the emperor's grandfather's liking, and I will be filial to him." Xiao Rui knew the purpose of their family's visit to the capital this time, and he had some plans in his heart.
Before he came, he knew that the imperial grandfather had packed up the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Hall for him to live in, and he was both excited and full of pressure and defense for such a favor.
He knew that the princes and grandsons of the capital looked down on him, who grew up in the countryside, but he looked down on these self-styled cousins! Do these people have as many treasures as he has? Have these people been to a foreign country and seen a foreign land?
Their family is just hiding their strength, and he also has an uncle who is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in northern Xinjiang! Where did these people get the confidence to look down on him?
He likes the look of these people who are jealous from the top of their eyes, and this time he has to flatter the emperor's grandfather well, making these people even more jealous but there is nothing he can do.
Prince Kang entered Beijing this time and everyone had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, some felt that it didn't matter if he was just celebrating the birthday festival as usual and was going back, and there was also a vague sense that something was wrong, because Prince Kang did not enter Beijing alone this time, and the number of people he brought was more than twice as many as the previous times, but no matter what he thought, everyone decided to wait and see what happened.
Because now it is obvious that His Majesty has objections to all the princes, and he has a lot of favor to Prince Kang, who has just entered Beijing, isn't it asking for trouble for himself to go against Prince Kang now?
Prince Kang and Xiao Rui went directly into the palace, while Ye Jing took the rest of the people back to the palace. I met the princess I hadn't seen for twenty years.
The princess looked much older, her cheekbones were high and bulging with her thin face, and she looked particularly mean, and her once majestic eyes were also full of turbidity, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Jing was vigilant in her heart, she intuitively felt that the princess was not kind to her, so she was more meticulous in etiquette and did not make any mistakes.
Princess Kang was indeed unhappy with Ye Jing, obviously the woman in front of her was just a little concubine who was sent in as a pawn when she first entered the mansion, but now she is not only Mrs. Rong, who is only one place lower than herself, but also gave birth to the son of their palace.
Mrs. Rong, the prince actually gave the woman in front of him the word Rong, did he want to tell everyone that the side lady in front of him had been favored?
has both the title and the son of the world, will she be the mistress or her in this house in the future?
The subordinates are all snobbish, seeing that this Mrs. Rong is going back to the house, they all want to please Bajie, obviously she is the concubine, what do these people think of her?
Ye Jing must be very proud now, she has accompanied the prince in Nanyue for twenty years, and in these twenty years, she can only stay alone in this capital, she must be laughing at her misery behind her back.
"What kind of maintenance method has my sister used over the years? How young is you? The prince must love you very much! Princess Kang did not ask Ye Jing to get up, but pinched her chin condescendingly and said a little harshly.
Ye Jing showed an embarrassed and humiliated expression, but she never resisted, but said aggrievedly: "Princess, it is the duty of a concubine to take care of the prince. ”
"What a duty, a seductive fox, have you been secretly laughing at me for losing the favor of the prince all these years? Are you going to show off to me when you come back this time? I tell you, as long as I am here, your son can only call me his mother forever, and the mistress of this palace can only be me. ”
Princess Kang said this very proudly, and her expression was extremely arrogant, as if the people around her were used to seeing her, she had no expression, but the people who came back with Ye Jing were indignant, and when she was about to stand up for Ye Jing, she was stopped by Ye Jing.
Ye Jing bowed her head and said weakly: "I haven't served by the princess's side all these years, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the concubine, and the concubine obeys the princess's teachings." ”
"Even if you know each other, then kneel for half an hour today, and think about what you have done to take care of the prince all these years." After saying that, the princess drifted away, as if she was not at all reckless.
"Princess, isn't it a little too much? What if the prince comes back and bumps into him? The lady in charge beside her said worriedly.
The princess snorted: "Am I really stupid? The prince just entered the palace, why did he come back so quickly? If Ye Jing comes back, I will have more reason to treat her. ”
