Chapter 141
His Royal Highness the Prince, who broke up with Long Zeyan unhappily, returned to the palace and went to greet the queen.
He was full of complaints, and he urgently needed to find a gap to vent his dissatisfaction in his heart, and the queen mother was his best audience.
"Queen Mother, the fourth brother is really annoying," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became chattering when he entered the Kunning Palace, "He actually wanted to intercede for the second brother and the third brother, and specially asked the opinion of the son, do you say that his brain is in water!" ”
"The Queen Mother. Did you say that the fourth brother was hiding his selfishness? The more His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought about it, the more angry he became, "He just can't see his son, right?!" So I want the second brother and the third brother to come out of prison and block the son!"
The queen mother touched the cushion that Su Nianjin sent into the palace on her hand, and the snow-white fox fur was soft and comfortable to the touch.
"Queen Mother!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chattered for a long time, but the Queen Mother did not say a word.
"Rui'er, you're the prince, what do you look like like you're so frizzy." The queen mother had been playing with the cushions, and she didn't seem to have heard the complaints of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into her ears.
"But the queen mother, the sons are really worried, and finally the second brother and the third brother are restless people who have lost power," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very worried, he always feels that his position as the crown prince is unstable, "Now the fourth brother's body is gradually getting better, and the virtuous concubine and the seventh brother are also deeply favored by the emperor, the fourth brother he..."
"Rui'er, it's good that you're wary." The queen mother looked serious, "However, when you encounter this kind of thing, you have to use your brain to think more about the meaning." The second prince and the third prince have been imprisoned for almost three months, and their cases have been clarified, I heard that the evidence is still conclusive, and people inside and outside the court are waiting for your father to be convicted, why did your father force this matter and not order them to be punished for a long time? ”
"This..."His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lowered his head, "Father's thoughts, how can the child be clear!" ”
"Your father, maybe when he took the heir, he killed almost none of his siblings, so when he was old, he attached great importance to family affection."
"Queen Mother!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked horrified, "This kind of thing must not be spoken, if it reaches the ears of my father..."
"Afraid of what? This Kunning Palace, without the permission of the queen mother, not a word can be transmitted. "Although the queen usually doesn't invite the emperor to favor with the virtuous concubines, she is the queen after all, her identity is here, and she has a son who is the prince.
What's more, the queen mother is a person with good means, even if she often stays in Kunning Palace, she hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, and no one in the palace dares to despise her.
"That being said... It's better for the queen mother to be cautious. "The queen mother is almost the only reliance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want the queen mother to have any mistakes.
"Rui'er is worried about the queen mother, and the queen mother is deeply pleased!" The queen's expression softened slightly, "However, the queen mother acts in her own way, Rui'er should take care of yourself." ”
"What the queen mother said," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with some discouragement, "the sons and daughters just feel a little powerless, the father's mind is elusive, and the courtiers are not fuel-efficient lamps... In the past few years, Erchen has repeatedly contacted several officials of the second and third brothers, but they have all been sloppy to Erchen, and they have no intention of joining Erchen's command at all..."
"Rui'er, just as the queen mother said just now," the queen mother looked at the prince with a calm face, "Your father and the emperor now attach great importance to family affection, your second brother and third brother are just greedy for some silver, the two brothers have a small fight, and they have not offended your father's rebellion, although they are now in prison, but there will be no substantial damage." These ministers are not stupid, if they choose another lord now, and when your second and third brothers come out, they will be the first people to deal with..."
"The meaning of the queen mother... Will my father let go of the second brother and the third brother?! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked shocked, "How is this possible?" The third brother colluded with the imperial businessmen to embezzle taxes and silver... The second brother sent someone to assassinate the third brother... Which of these things is not a great sin? ”
"The whole world belongs to your father, but he is just greedy for a little silver, will your father care?" The queen mother sneered, "Rui'er, anyway, your second brother and third brother will be released, you might as well listen to your fourth brother and ask your father to intercede for your two uncompetitive courtiers, so that you can still get a good impression of brotherhood in your father's heart..."
"Are the queen mother's words serious?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still felt incredible, "If my father spares the second and third brothers, how will my father manage the ministers in the future?" Isn't it all a mess? ”
"How many years have your mother been husband and wife with your father? His little thoughts, the queen mother is still accurate. The queen said, "Your fourth brother can also understand this. ”
"What does the queen mother mean that the fourth brother has figured out his father's thoughts?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked nervously.
"Otherwise, do you really think he has a deep brotherly affection for your second brother and third brother?" The corners of the queen's mouth curved, "However, he is still honest now, and he knows to say hello to you before acting." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lowered his head, no matter whether Long Zeyan greeted him or not, he was jealous of him. Damn, he is obviously the crown prince, why does he know his father's mind better than himself...
"By the way, Rui'er, I heard that Prince Yan's godgranddaughter upset you today?" Just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was pondering, the Queen Mother suddenly asked.
"Uh... Did the queen mother hear about it? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was shocked, who told the Queen Mother? Could it be that the queen mother has planted someone next to her?
"The Su family sent someone to the palace to send a letter of affection, because I didn't know how to deliver the letter to you, so I sent it to the queen mother." The queen beckoned, and the palace maid brought up the letter and the silver ticket, "That girl is just a vulgar woman, as the crown prince, you must have a certain amount of energy, why bother to be like her?" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the silver ticket and the letter, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything, and the queen mother reprimanded herself first, which was really biased.
The queen looked at the prince's expression and sighed helplessly, "Okay, the queen mother is also lacking today, so you can step down." I don't know if I helped the prince clear the road, so that he didn't experience any setbacks since he was a child, and his life was too smooth, so that he was thirty years old, and he was still like a child, he didn't use his brain when he encountered problems, and he would only play with his temper.
The queen's slightly impatient tone made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even more angry, the queen mother would be angry with herself for an uneducated girl, she is her biological son!
"The retainers retired." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little angry, and left without looking back, and he didn't know if his rebellion period had arrived.
