Chapter 379: Inside and Out
It's not just that I don't like it.
Concubine Xu Defei pursed her lips and smiled helplessly.
Others may not have such a deep experience, but she knows it very well.
As the first woman to be pointed to the emperor by the Shen family, the late Empress Dowager, she entered the Eight Princes' Mansion at that time and watched every step of his relationship with the Shen family change.
At the beginning, it was harmonious, or in other words, even if there were contradictions, it was temporarily pressed and sought common ground while reserving differences.
The greater the external victory, the more irreconcilable the internal contradictions become.
As long as interests are involved, the mother and son may turn against each other, not to mention the halfway mother and son who are only on the same boat because of interests?
Until now, the queen mother has passed away for many years, and the involvement between the emperor and the Shen family has not come to an end.
It is precisely because of this that Concubine Xu De dared to swear and tell Zhu Mao over and over again: As long as the contradiction exists, no matter whether Zhu Huan and Huo Yixiao are flat or not, there will always be turbulent times.
Concubine Xu Defei pressed her son's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Yes, your father doesn't like the Shen family, but he can't dig up the roots of the Shen family now." ”
Zhu Mao frowned.
Concubine Xu Defei said again: "Do I like the Shen family? ”
Her background is neither high nor low, if it weren't for her grandfather who threw herself under the Shen family, she would have been used as a pawn by the Shen family, and her life would be completely different from now.
Perhaps in the eyes of uninformed people, she is the fourth concubine who is high, she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she lives in this luxurious palace, and her food and clothing are exquisite and luxurious......
From the perspective of a woman who just wants to be fed and clothed, and not die to other people, such a life is simply too comfortable.
But she wasn't that kind of person.
It's just that that little bit of hard work has been polished clean by various realities.
Those young concubines at the bottom can still fight for the emperor's favor.
She can't.
It's not that there is no ability, but there is no such possibility.
She doesn't even deserve to compete for favor.
Dare to have some thoughts of making trouble, the emperor can't move the Shen family, can't he move her Xu family?
Now, the Shen family will not fight with the emperor for a woman like her.
If it is abolished, it will be abolished, and if it is dead, it will be dead, and His Highness has lost his mother, in the eyes of those people, I am afraid that it will be better controlled.
Over the years, Concubine Xu De has been grinding into a bodhisattva's temper all her life.
"I don't like it either," Concubine Xu Defei looked at Zhu Mao's eyes and said, "I hate the Shen family, but the Shen family is what I rely on with you now, and for your future, we still have to protect the interests of the Shen family."
This is to walk the same path that your father once walked, and go through it all over again.
Unless ......"
Zhu Mao was stunned: "Unless what?" ”
"Unless you can find a greater reliance than the Shen family, so that your father can use that power to cut down the Shen family to the roots, and in the same way, when you are in power, you will fight with that power again." Concubine Xu Defei said.
Zhu Mao smiled bitterly, isn't this the same road?
Concubine Xu De also smiled ꓹ The smile was more bitter than Zhu Mao's: "Or ꓹ You completely stopped thinking, and the mother concubine also rested." From now on, be honest, regardless of the powers. What is the Zhu family, the Shen family, this family and that family, they are fighting for it, and you and I stay out of it. It's easy to save your life without asking for that chair. ”
Zhu Mao's heart sank.
Abandon?
It was never in his choice.
In other words, the mother concubine is just to provoke him, and the mother concubine herself is not that kind of temperament.
Zhu Mao took a deep breath and thought about Concubine Xu De's words, thought for a while, and asked softly: "Zhu Sheng's situation, there is no hope in the future."
It is impossible for Feng Jieyu and the queen to reconcile ꓹ Enrong Bofu wants to seek the interests of the Shen familyꓹ The relationship between Feng Jieyu and Bofu is stiff when I hear it.
The Yu family and the Shen family brought Feng Lu's cousin-in-law to Taichang Temple as a Shaoqing, in order to make Enrongbo's mansion quickly defect.
If you can convince Feng Jieyu......"
Feng Jieyu doesn't bow her head to Queen Yu, and Enrongbo's Mansion wants a prospect again, if she can make her look at their mother and son, wouldn't everyone be happy?
Jieyu Niangniang doesn't have to completely turn her face with her mother's family, and she doesn't have to watch them contribute to Queen Yu and be powerless.
He, the eldest son of the emperor, is the second choice in the hands of the Shen family, but it is not that he cannot be chosen.
Feng Jieyu and her mother's family can reach a relatively stable relationship in order to achieve a follow-up situation.
This is exactly what Concubine Xu Defei has always said, first externally, and then internally.
"It's difficult," Concubine Xu Defei shook her head, "The one in Jinhua Palace, I guess she is partial to Huo Yixiao." It should be said that she may be heading for a warm feast. ”
Zhu Mao suppressed his voice and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Otherwise, Wen Yan went to Jinhua Palace a few times, it wouldn't be really just to make clothes for Cheng Huan's cat, right?" Concubine Xu asked rhetorically.
Zhu Mao said: "But when Zhu Sheng had an accident, he ......"
"Can you prove that Huo Yixiao arranged that night?" Concubine Xu Defei asked again, "He caused people to harm His Royal Highness, and then went to save people, and deliberately made such a play." ”
I can't prove it.
Zhu Mao knows it, and Concubine Xu De also knows it.
Feng Jieyu's trust in Wen Yan now means that she may already have some clues in her hands.
She has a guess about the real murderer, and the real murderer has nothing to do with Huo Yixiao.
Zhu Mao pondered and said, "Whether it is the third child or Yi Xiao, Feng Jieyu can't convince Enrongbo's mansion. ”
Enrong Bofu followed Zhu Yu, among them, there was a reason why the Yu family and the Feng family were in-laws, and the Feng family went all out, and the Yu family could also value them.
Zhu Mao originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, because his backer was also the Shen family, and they could buffer each other more or less, which made sense.
But Zhu Huan and Huo Yixiao ......
Not only are they not all the way, but especially the Huo family and Concubine Huo, who are completely opposite to the Shen family.
"What do you convince them to do?" Concubine Xu Defei snorted, "Feng Jieyu doesn't care about the Feng family's life or death at all. ”
Zhu Mao didn't understand, but Concubine Xu De did.
A woman, a mother, she always values her children above all else.
Zhu Sheng can't fight, Feng Jieyu's hope for him is to live longer, after all, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and he has to live even if he hangs his life; Cheng Huan chooses a suitable colt in a few years, and Feng Jieyu will be relieved.
And Enrong Bofu, her maiden family, at the beginning of her son's suffering, bowed her head to the Yu family, her lifelong enemy, and Feng Jieyu's temperament is strange!
Concubine Xu De said seriously: "The mother concubine said this to let you know that you should follow the steps and not be impatient." Now, if you are slower, you may not be much behind, but if you are in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes. You're not such an impatient person. ”
Zhu Mao was stunned, thought for a while, and shook his head with a wry smile: "You're right, I wasn't in such a hurry, it was the words of the fourth child yesterday......"
"He shook you," Xu Defei said, "and you will be fooled by a few words from him." If you think about it carefully, as long as the concubine is not stupid and Wen Yan is not stupid, it is impossible for her to have a son now.
Huo Yixiao's current identity, once he gets the eldest grandson of the emperor, the relationship between him and Zhu Huan will collapse directly.
Neither of them could afford to collapse. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Mao asked casually: "Do you really not know the identity of his mother's concubine?" ”
