Ming Yue's expression did not change: "The mother concubine is too worried, and Ming Jing has a well-behaved personality." Although I have been unable to attend the palace banquet because I am unwell these days, I think I will greet Miss Xia San well. ”

"Yes." Chu Zhaoyi smiled: "Mingjing, that kid has always been kind, and there really is nothing to worry about." ”

As they spoke, the two men had already entered the inner sanctum.

The Nine Emperor Princes, Ming Hong, who was sitting inside, was originally talking to the Seventh Emperor Ming Huan, but when he saw Ming Yue coming in, he stood up and walked a few steps forward to Chu Zhaoyi's side.

"Mother." Ming Hong saluted Chu Zhaoyi: "My son got out of the study, and because he was close, he came over directly." I didn't go to greet my mother, so please forgive me. ”

"Nothing. Homework matters. Chu Zhaoyi saw her youngest son Minghong, and there was a little more smile in her eyes: "What's more, there is your sixth brother here." ”

Ming Hong glanced at Ming Yue with a smile in his eyes: "Thank you, Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother is more dedicated to his mother than me." ”

"It should." Ming Yue's expression was faint, only those close to him could see it, compared to the cold face when facing outsiders, his expression was soft.

"Mother, sixth brother, this way-"

As soon as Chu Zhaoyi entered the door, Concubine De, who was originally sitting on the top and chatting with Concubine Shu, spoke.

"Tsk, Chu Zhaoyi is really magnificent. One left and one right are protected by two sons, and there is really no one in this palace who can compare. It's just that Sister Liangfei's birthday came so late. The shelves are a little bigger. ”

Concubine De is also one of the four concubines, although it is the end of the four concubines. But the status is stronger than Chu Jun, who is just Zhaoyi.

Emperor Qingren's harem is not rich, but it is not a few.

The queen was born in the Yin family in the capital, is the daughter of the Yin family, and has seven princes, Ming Huan.

Concubine Dong Jiao, from the Dong family in the capital, is Dong Jia's aunt. There are four princes, Ming Yuan.

Concubine Su Ning, with an average family background, gave birth to five princesses Mingning.

Concubine Chi Shuran, whose family background is not obvious, has followed Emperor Qingren for many years, from the crown prince Liangdi to one of the four concubines now. only gave birth to the second princess Ming Zhao.

Concubine Yu Xue is the daughter of General Zhenguo. He has three princes, Ming Heng.

Under the first and fourth concubines, it is Chu Zhaoyi and Chu Jun. She is the biological mother of the Nine Emperor Princes, Akihiro.

As for the eighth princess Mingjing mentioned earlier, her biological mother is Chu Jun's younger sister Concubine Chu Li. Ming Jing ate something bad a few days ago and had allergies. said that there were red spots on his face, so he hid in the palace and did not come out.

In order to take care of her, Chu Li did not participate in the palace banquet.

There are so many women in the palace, and only a few have given birth to children. The only special case here is probably Chu Zhaoyi.

In addition to giving birth to the Nine Emperor Sons, she also had the Great Prince. It's just that the eldest prince went because of an accident when he was a child.

Emperor Qingren saw that Chu Jun had been depressed because of the loss of her child, and she was depressed all day long, so he took Ming Yue, who had lost her biological mother, to her palace to raise her.

After Ming Yue went to Chu Zhaoyi's Jiuhua Palace, Chu Zhaoyi really got better day by day.

For this reason, she is very fond and close to Mingyue. Even if she later gave birth to the Nine Emperor Sons, Minghong.

She still cares about Ming Yue and treats her as if she were her own. And Akihiro also likes to be close to this brother. The two brothers could not tell that they were not born of the same mother.

In this way, the person with two children in the entire palace has become Chu Zhaoyi.

Concubine De is naturally dissatisfied, there are more childless concubines in this palace. Chu Zhaoyi raised two alone.

If it is true, she has two sons by her side, and her future cards and odds of winning are naturally twice as big as those of them who only have one child.

At that time, the saint was in the prime of life, and he had not yet been canonized as a prince, and in a short time, anyone had a chance.

But in the long run, if there are many sons, there is always an extra layer of protection.

Although it is a succession, but before the last moment, who can say that there is a 100% chance of winning?

Not to mention that although Chu Zhaoyi is just a Zhaoyi, he has two sons for so many years, and he has won the favor of the saint.

When Concubine De thought of this, she felt a little uncomfortable. Not to mention looking at Ming Yue's appearance so respectful and close to Chu Zhaoyi.

"Speaking of which, the six princes are closer to Chu Zhaoyi than to the emperor and queen. It's really a blessing for my sister. ”

Chu Zhaoyi frowned slightly, Concubine De's words clearly showed that Yue didn't even pay attention to the emperor.
