"You have a great responsibility, now you should focus on the great cause, and the love of your children should be left behind, and the queen mother will tell you clearly that Lu Nanxi will never be your concubine."

"Even if she is the real lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, she is not worthy of you. What's more, she was originally just a peasant girl. You like her, the mother knows it, and she has already allowed you to be willful. "At the beginning, the mother concubine said that it was inappropriate for you to support Lu Nanxi and help her hide her identity. There is no airtight wall in this world, and even more, you are being watched tightly in front of everyone's eyes. ”

"How many people are waiting to dig up your mistakes. The mother persuaded you many times, but you were fascinated by that girl, as if you were fascinated, you had to do that. ”

"Well, now, her identity has been revealed. Your impeachment by the courtiers is a small matter, if it provokes the disgust of your father. It's not good. ”

Concubine De is also bitter, she broke things down carefully, and seriously persuaded the second prince. When Concubine De spoke, she kept staring at the expression of the second prince. Seeing that her son's expression was a little loose, Concubine De was overjoyed and pursued after the victory.

"The mother concubine is also for your good, you are now at the most critical juncture, and there can be no mistakes. However, if you really like Lu Nanxi, wait for the rumors to pass, and let her into the house to be a lady. ”

The second prince has been persuaded by Concubine De to start to be moved, but he still has a deep affection for Lu Nanxi. He still felt a little wronged by Lu Nanxi, so he still wanted to fight for her.

"Mother, Xi'er is harmonious, I have been seriously engaged. Let her be Mrs. Ru, isn't her status a little too low, otherwise let her be the side concubine of her son. ”

Concubine De's voice was gentle, but Taidu was very firm. "Yan'er, you take it for granted. Lu Nanxi's current identity is so embarrassing, if you don't marry her, her family affairs will become difficult. ”

"With her current status, it is already a great grace to be able to enter the prince's mansion and have the status of a lady."

"It's not that the mother concubine is ruthless, Lu Nanxi's current situation, let her enter the mansion as a concubine, it is not a bad treatment for her. The mother concubine is afraid that you have some feelings for her, and she is already good enough to treat her. ”

"The concubine doesn't force you, so you can ask her yourself. If she wants to do this, she will do it, and if she doesn't want to do it, forget it, this is Mrs. Ru, but many young ladies can't ask for it. ”

The second prince paused, and said in a low voice: "Just do what the concubine says, Xi'er is sincere to me, she doesn't care about her reputation or anything else." As long as I open my mouth, she will not refuse me. ”

Hehe~ The words of the second prince made Concubine De sneer in her heart, and she rolled her eyes fiercely. However, this result was quite satisfactory to Concubine De, and she didn't say anything more about this topic, but mentioned something else.

"Don't talk about this, you're not young this year, and you've reached the age of starting a family. When my mother heard about your father's Double Ninth Festival, she invited many wives, and those ladies would also bring the girls in their house to the banquet. “

"There are a few families with girls, and the mother is good. Their home is also a great help for you. When the time comes, the mother will point it out to you in advance, and you will see if you like it, and the mother will ask your father to give you a marriage. ”

"Mother... Erchen has no intention of marrying a wife for the time being. The second prince still feels sorry for Lu Nanxi, although he can't marry her as a concubine. But I don't want to let other women sit in this position immediately.

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, Concubine De knew what he was thinking when she saw the second prince like this. Her own son is always right, so in Concubine De's heart, she has a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Nanxi who hooked her son.

However, Concubine De knew her son's temperament, and she did not directly get angry and forced the second prince, nor did she directly say Lu Nanxi. Concubine De said softly: "But Yan'er, only if you marry the concubine, can you completely enter the court." ”

"Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, the girls that your mother chooses for you are all very virtuous and capable. Not only can it help you take care of your home, but it's not the kind of person who likes to be jealous. You don't have to like Concubine Zheng much, just give her some respect on the face, let her help you take care of the house, and spoil whoever you want. ”

Concubine De's words simply reached the heart of the second prince, and he was moved by Concubine De's words again. "The sons and daughters all listen to the concubine."

"Well... That's right! Good boy, the mother asked her to show you the portrait first. Concubine De was very happy, and as she spoke, she instructed the people below to bring the portrait to the second prince and let him choose it carefully.

Here, Concubine De accompanied her son to see the portrait and explained to him seriously. At the same time, the queen's palace is also talking about Concubine De.

"What has that slut been doing lately? Why didn't you see her come out? ”

The queen leaned back in the large chaise longue and asked curiously while eating grapes.

"Back to Niangniang, the slave heard that Concubine De seems to be searching for portraits of unmarried women recently."

"Portrait of an unmarried woman? Bai Lianlian wants to give her precious son and look at the girl? The queen couldn't help but sneer as she spoke. Bai Lianlian has been embarrassing recently, the daughter-in-law she ordered is actually a fake, and she is still a peasant girl from the countryside, she is really laughing to death. ”

"Isn't it? If you want a slave to say, it is also retribution. Concubine De always looks fake, and she also found a fake to be her daughter-in-law. The father-in-law behind the queen said sarcastically while helping the queen hand the grapes.

"Haha! That's right! It's retribution, Bai Lianlian, that slut, always pretends to be and curry favor in front of His Majesty. is always calculating the palace, and now she is also self-inflicted, she deserves it! Not only did she lose face because of her daughter-in-law's affairs, but Her Majesty didn't pamper her as much as before. ”

When the queen said this, she suddenly remembered Qi Xin'er, and she couldn't help frowning. "By the way, has Your Majesty been going to the Qi Palace every day recently?"

"Seems like so." The eunuch nodded a little hesitantly, afraid that the queen would be upset, and hurriedly persuaded: "But Your Majesty is not all for the concubine, I heard that Your Majesty is very fond of the little princess, and he should go for the little princess." ”

The queen has been jealous for so many years, and she is also a little tired in her heart. She waved her hand impatiently, but in a gentle tone.

"Okay, you don't have to comfort Hongu. It is said that in the harem, the mother is expensive by the son, but the palace feels that it is the opposite, and the son is expensive by the mother. If nothing else, let's talk about the eldest prince and the second prince. The eldest prince is still the eldest son, because the mother concubine is not favored, regardless of status or favor, where can she compare to the second prince of Concubine De. ”

"Although this palace hated Bai Lianlian before, it also admitted that Bai Lianlian was the one with the most sacred heart in this palace. But as soon as the Qi clan came, Bai Lianlian was completely compared to her. ”

"Yes, Concubine Shu has indeed won the Sacred Heart." The chief eunuch also nodded, and said: "But Concubine Shu was cultivated by us, and she can have today, it is all a gift from her mother, and she will never dare to turn her back on her mother." ”

The queen shook her head and said softly: "The Qi family has now become a concubine, and even Concubine De is under her. She has become a first-class concubine before she gives birth to a prince, and if she gives birth to a prince, the concubine may not be able to say. And since she gave birth to a princess, it means that she can give birth. ”

"Now, His Majesty is extremely fond of her and her daughter. There is a queen in this palace who has no favor and no children, where would she be afraid of me. ”

Although Qi Xin'er was specially found by her to compete for favor and deal with Concubine De. But seeing Qi Xin'er so quickly, she suppressed Concubine De, and the queen's heart was very complicated, and she grew a lot, and she was no longer as irritable as before.

When the chief eunuch heard the queen say this, he also sighed lightly, and said very complicated after a long time: "Niangniang has grown up. ”

The queen was still sad, but she couldn't help but laugh when she heard the chief eunuch say this.

"Growing up? This palace is already over forty years old, and it is too ridiculous to be a grandmother in ordinary people's homes, and it is too ridiculous to grow up today. ”

The queen smiled and smiled, seeing that the chief eunuch was still looking at her with some sadness, and her heart was a little lost for a while. After a long time, the queen was right.

"The Qi family is now in the limelight, and she and Bai Lianlian are like fire and water. Let's stop acting in the palace for the time being, and act in a low-key manner. Seeing the distressed look of the chief eunuch, the queen laughed softly.

"What's wrong? Hasn't the purpose of the main palace been achieved? It is true that the White Lotus is not as favored as before. Now there are others who will face her instead of this palace. The palace is also happy to be idle, just watch the play directly. ”

……

There are no immutable things, such as the change of stars, the vicissitudes of life, and the fact that things are not people. The queen is like this, and so is Qi Xin'er.

The queen is slowly worn out, and her former arrogance has also worn out her jealousy little by little, but Qi Xin'er has been jealous and resentful little by little.

At the beginning, Qi Xin'er entered the palace for only one purpose, which was to live to take revenge. Before Qi Xin'er entered the palace, she had already made up her mind to go through a lot of hardships, she wanted to climb up in order to compete for favor, she could give everything.

But as soon as Qi Xin'er entered the palace, he was favored by Emperor Jingming, and in just one year, he jumped from a small nobleman to a concubine. During this period, she did not suffer any grievances at all, and even when she faced Concubine De, Qi Xin'er never suffered a loss.

Man's desires are never-ending. Under such conditions, Qixin'er is also becoming more and more dissatisfied, and more and more eager to get more. started from the grievances for his daughter, and the door to grievances began to be opened.

At first, Qi Xin'er just felt that her daughter should not be used as a stand-in by her biological father from birth. But as time passed, Qi Xin'er slowly began to be unwilling to accept himself as a stand-in for others.

At this moment, Qi Xin'er looked at Emperor Jingming, looked at his daughter with love, and asked himself softly: "Xin Niang, look at our little fish, it is really well-behaved and cute." ”

Xin Niang, Xin Niang again! Qi Xin'er was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, but she could only suppress the anger in her heart and replied gently.

"Yes, Xiao Yu'er is very well-behaved and rarely cries."

Emperor Jingming looked at Qi Xin'er with a smile, but his eyes still seemed to be betting far away: "Yes, but Xiao Yu'er is not like you at all." I still remember, Xinniang, you said before that you were very disobedient when you were a child and always cried. Your father and mother are not free, and your sister is only two years old, so she will coax you all day long. ”

“… His Majesty made fun of his concubines again. Qi Xin'er hated in her heart, but she could only reply to Emperor Jingming's words.

When Emperor Jingming heard Qi Xin'er's concubine, he suddenly sobered up. But speaking of this, Emperor Jingming remembered something else.

Emperor Jingming suddenly put Xiao Yu'er into Qi Xin'er's arms and said to Qi Xin'er: "I suddenly remembered something, so I left first." ”

After speaking, Emperor Jingming didn't wait for Qi Xin'er to react, and strode away directly.

Qi Xin'er looked at Emperor Jingming's back, but she was even more angry. If it were the real woman and her child in front of Your Majesty now, would Your Majesty be like this?

After Emperor Jingming hurriedly returned to the study, he directly asked people to call the leader of the Jinyi Guard in. When Jin Yiwei is not out of the field on weekdays, he works not far from the palace gate.

So as soon as Emperor Jingming summoned him, the leader of Jinyiwei quickly walked in, and the leader of Jinyiwei was Wu Qingzhu's father. Father Wu was handing over affairs with his son, and he also reported to Emperor Jingming, and inquired about the recent major events, so he handed over at this time.

Therefore, Father Wu was suddenly called into the palace by Emperor Jingming, in addition to the accident, he was more worried, afraid that something urgent would happen.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Jinyiwei is directly under the emperor, and there is no need to contact other yamen on weekdays, and the Jinyiwei personnel are also close to the emperor. So they are all straight to the emperor.

Emperor Jingming also knew Wu's father's temperament, so he directly talked to him about his own affairs. Emperor Jingming and Father Wu have also been together for many years, and they are much closer than others, and Father Wu also knows many things about Emperor Jingming.

After Emperor Jingming asked Father Wu to sit down, he sighed lightly and said in a low voice, "I thought of Xinniang again today." ”

Father Wu is also a little accustomed to it, and it is strange that His Majesty didn't think of Xin Niang one day. However, Father Wu still nodded and agreed: "Hmm." ”

Emperor Jingming said again: "I went to see Xiao Yu'er today, Xiao Yu'er is not well-behaved, and it is not like Xin Niang at all." I remembered that Xin Niang used to tell me that she was very naughty when she was a child, and she was not at all as gentle as she was when she grew up. ”

I didn't believe it at the time, so Xinniang told me that she was always crying when she was a child, and she never stopped. But Xin Niang's father and mother are busy with their livelihood and have no time to take care of her. ”

In the end, it was Xin Niang's sister, although she was only three years old, she had been patiently playing with her and coaxing her not to cry. Xin Niang often said that the most grateful and closest person is my sister. ”

"I'm sorry for Xinniang, not only did I not fulfill my promise to take Xinniang home. For so many years, I only cared about my own sadness, and I didn't dare to face the reality and avoid the affairs of Xin's mother's family. ”

"In my heart, Xin Niang is my only wife. Her father and mother are my father and mother. Her sister is also my sister. I used to be confused and didn't care about my sister, father-in-law, and mother-in-law. ”

"I have now woken up and will take care of her family on behalf of Xinniang. So, you go to Xin Niang's hometown now. ”
