Chapter 143: Gone
Concubine Xian finally had no time to scold, and ordered Gong E to go to the imperial dining room, let the imperial dining room prepare the emperor's favorite dishes, and let the waiter go to get the ice......
At the end, Concubine Xian asked Xiao Qing: "Qing'er, do you think about it for your mother, what else do you need to prepare?" ”
The emperor really hasn't come to Chenhua Hall for a long time, and Concubine Xian's face is flushed with excitement.
Xiao Qing glanced at the tenth brother who was still kneeling: "Mother, you still let the tenth brother get up first." ”
"If he likes to kneel, let him kneel, Qing'er, think about it, is there anything negligent about my mother?"
Xiao Qing said: "The concubine can go and add makeup." ”
Concubine Xian suddenly covered her face: "Yes, I forgot the most important thing, Qing'er, isn't my mother's face very bad?" Are there more wrinkles? ”
"Are there wrinkles? I didn't see it, where is it? ”
Concubine Xian sneered and said, "You, if you are so good at coaxing people in your father's mouth, and what is the matter with the eldest and third." ”
Xiao Qing said in fear: "Mother concubine is cautious. ”
"Okay, I won't talk about you, I'll go put on makeup first, and you can stay for lunch later, and by the way, tell your father good news, and make your father happy." Concubine Xian said with a smile, and then took Gong'e to the inner hall.
Xiao Qing said at this time: "Tenth brother, you get up quickly." ”
Xiao Qian got up slowly and gave the fourth brother a look: "Fourth brother, I'll leave first." ”
"No, you stay for lunch."
Xiao Qian smiled bitterly in his heart: "The mother concubine won't want me to stay." ”
Xiao Qing choked and patted Xiao Qian's shoulder: "I'll talk to my mother when I go back." ”
"No need." Xiao Qian turned his head and left.
The mother concubine said that he was the disaster star of her life, so it was better that he would rarely appear as a disaster star.
Xiao sneaked out of the Chenhua Hall and ran into his father and Gonggong Cao.
"Father's ......"
"Old ten, where are you going?"
"Erchen is out of the palace."
The emperor looked at the loneliness in Lao Shi's eyes, and sighed in his heart, he was busy with state affairs and had many children, so it was inevitable that he neglected Lao Shi, but Concubine Xian was Lao Shi's biological mother, but she was a demonic barrier, and she generally had to regard Lao Shi as an enemy......
Ay! Pity the kid.
So, the emperor said: "You follow me to the Zichen Palace, accompany my father and the emperor to eat, and our father and son can talk well." ”
Xiao Qian hesitated: "Father, the mother concubine is waiting for you, and the fourth brother is also there." ”
The mother concubine was full of expectations that her father would go to see her, and if the father did not go because of him at this time, I was afraid that the mother would hate him even more.
The emperor indifferently glanced at the Chenhua Hall not far away: "Just have your fourth brother accompany your mother and concubine." ”
He came here because he felt indebted to Lao Shi, and wanted to help Lao Shi ease the relationship between mother and son, and also bring the relationship between father and son closer. Since Lao Shi can't stay with her mother, there is no need for him to go.
Concubine Xian was drawing her eyebrows, and the attendant came to report: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has already arrived outside the palace, and I met the Ten Highnesses, so it is convenient for the Ten Highnesses to go together." ”
Concubine Xian's hand shook, her eyebrows were crooked, and she looked back at the attendant in disbelief: "What did you say?" Your Majesty is not coming? ”
The chamberlain was uneasy: "Your Majesty...... Went with His Highness the Ten. ”
The hall suddenly fell into a death-like silence, and suddenly, Concubine Xian went crazy to see all the things on the dresser swept to the ground, and she was still angry, and picked up a plum bottle and smashed it to the ground, with a loud bang, the plum bottle was broken and torn apart.
Concubine Xian scolded angrily while smashing: "I know that this scourge is uneasy and kind, he wishes he would have me off soon......"
Xiao Qing rushed in and snatched the porcelain from the concubine's hand: "Concubine, calm down." ”
"How do I calm down? Your father is outside the palace, if it weren't for that evil obstacle, how could your father have left? Concubine Xian was furious.
"Mother, think about it, why did my father think of coming to Chenhua Hall today?"
Concubine Xian was asked, yes...... The emperor hasn't come to her Chenhua Hall for almost four years, why did he suddenly say he wanted to come today?
"Qing'er, it must be your father who knows that you have entered the palace, so he came, right?"
Xiao Qing laughed self-deprecatingly: "Mother, the sons have entered the palace a lot of times, besides, if the sons have such a big face in their father's emperor, why are they all crowned kings, and they can't be reused?" ”
Concubine Xian looked at her son in a daze and muttered to herself, "What else can be the reason for that?" ”
Xiao Qing suppressed the sourness in his heart: "Mother, my father came because of the tenth brother." ”
He didn't want to admit it, but it was the truth.
His father always said that he was steady, and often took him as an example for the princes, so he had to maintain a steady image, and he did not dare to fight openly, so he could only work silently, and strive to be a good son and a good courtier, he did not ask for the love of his father, but only hoped that one day when his father was considering the prince, he could think of such a steady, reliable and capable son, and he could rest assured that he would hand over the country to him, which was his struggle.
But now, his father's willingness to come to Chenhua Hall for the tenth brother made his originally calm and firm heart shaken a little, and at this moment, he really realized the mood of the tenth brother when he knelt in front of his mother just now.
What you want, all efforts are useless, but others can easily get the mood.
"Qing'er, why do you think that?" Concubine Xian thinks this statement is too ridiculous, isn't Lao Shi not treated by the emperor? If she doesn't give a reward for her great achievements, how can she do this for the sake of Lao Shi?
Xiao Qing motioned for everyone to go out, and then said solemnly: "Mother, the talent of the tenth brother has entered the eyes of the father, before the tenth brother made meritorious service, but the father did not reward him, the son thought that the father was protecting the tenth brother, so that he would not be noticed too early, you must be kind to the tenth brother in the future, even if you hate him in your heart, you should be for the son." ”
"Mother, you believe in the judgment of your son, the tenth brother must have a different weight in the heart of his father than other princes, if you reconcile with the tenth brother, you will obey your father's wishes, maybe once your father is happy, there will be more times in the future."
And he, if he can get the help of his tenth brother, his chances of winning will be one more point.
Concubine Xian couldn't digest what her son said for a while, she couldn't figure it out, where could Lao Shi get into the eyes of the emperor? Still different? How can it be?
After Xiao Qing appeased his mother, he left the Chenhua Hall and was greeted by an attendant. The chamberlain saluted him, and when he staggered over, the chamberlain whispered: "Your Majesty took the Ten Highnesses down to the Zichen Hall and had lunch there." ”
Xiao Qing walked forward expressionlessly, not even pausing in his footsteps.
It's just that his heart is turbulent for a long time and can't be calmed down, he guessed right, but the truth is far beyond his expectations.
After the death of the former prince, the prince who can be left alone by his father to eat in the Zichen Palace is only the tenth so far, even if the third child is favored again, he has never had such treatment.
