Zhu Xin remembered it.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the palace banquet was dispersed, his father summoned him to his knees, hugged him and asked, "Fengqiu, do you like this position?" ”

Zhu Xinzhi shook his head, when he was young, he always saw his father sitting there alone, and there could not be anyone around him, otherwise, it would be disrespectful to others. Sometimes he wanted to sit there next to his father, and the inner eunuch would hold him tightly, saying that His Majesty could only sit alone in this position, and even if it was a seat, he should refuse.

He remembered that when he was still in the Zhu family's mansion, his father was not the emperor, he was only three years old, and he could still sit on his father's lap and compete with his father for brushes. At that time, his father could still call "Dad", instead of a rusty "Father", he didn't like this position, because this position estranged the feelings of the whole family, making the mother sad and lonely until dawn, he was a little secretly resentful, and couldn't figure it out, what was good about sitting here.

The father was very pleased, and nodded with tears: "Very good, very good." Feng Qiu, you make an oath. ”

"What oath?" At that time, he asked in a childish voice.

The father said: "The father took you to the temple, do you dare to tell them in front of your ancestors that you will never sit here for the rest of your life, and you will not want to be the emperor for the rest of your life, only the virtuous king of the Eastern Continent?" ”

"Okay." He agreed.

Father took his hand, through the long road in the palace, step by step to the palace temple, the father asked him to kneel in front of the ancestor, he looked up, densely packed with the ancestors of the Zhu family, the candle flame of the ancestral hall swaying, he was still a little scared, the father was solemn, after the incense, let the inner supervisor move the brazier to him.

His father said to him, "Fengqiu, you swear. ”

"Erchen swears that he will only be the king of the Eastern Continent and never be the emperor!" He said.

My father threw some paper money in the brazier, took his hand, cut his palm with a dagger, and the blood fell on the paper money, and the paper money burned out little by little in the brazier, and my father said, "If you have sworn to your ancestors, you must remember your oath for the rest of your life." The Eastern Continent is not in danger, the Zhu family will not fall in the world, and you will never be the emperor. Ancestors and Heaven will remember your oath, and they will punish you if you break your promise. Your father believes in your promise, and in order for you to remember, when you become an adult, your father will give you a word, which is called 'Xinzhi', how about it? Father wants you to keep this sentence in your heart at all times and keep your promises. ”

Zhu Xinzhi, hence the name.

After many years, he has long forgotten the scene of that year, and only remembers the oath he made with his father. If it weren't for Qu Guifei suddenly talking about it, he wouldn't have remembered it.

Qu Guifei looked sad: "I blamed your father for this back then. But then, it dawned on me. Son, you have a good father, you know? ”

Zhu Xinzhi shook his head blankly.

"Your father is here to protect you." Concubine Qu Guifei hid her face: "When your brother died suddenly, your father had high hopes for him, and as soon as he left, he made your father sober up." Our Qu family has done nothing wrong, your brother has done nothing wrong, you are still young, and you should not be punished. Your father made you swear that you would never be the emperor, and after that, you will be safe. Some people know that no one will compete with him for the throne in this life, and this heart will be at peace. ”

Zhu Xinzhi sank his eyebrows, this time, there is no need for Qu Guifei to continue to say more, he already understands who it is.

Prince?

He remembered that several of his brothers were close to him, and that the crown prince was a little older, five years older than him. At that time, the fourth brother was still there, he had brothers and sisters, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not, always watching them play from afar, and his eyes were full of envy.

Later, everyone went to study together in Guozijian, and the prince was calm and dignified, and was ordered to take care of their younger siblings and young companions. Pei Xie Tang was naughty, and the children of other families were not right, jumping up and down to make the country eunuch unpeaceful. He has a reserved and quiet personality, he doesn't like to talk, and he is always the one who is bullied.

The prince can't see it, and often jumps out to help him, and he is quite familiar with the prince when he comes and goes.

So that later the fourth brother died, he and the prince got closer and closer, and after opening the palace, he also chose a place closer to the imperial city to build his own palace, thinking that in the future, the prince would ascend the throne, and it would be easier for him to enter the palace.

Could it be that all those cares in the past had a purpose?

Zhu Xinyi has never liked to speculate on anyone with the worst malice, but seeing that Concubine Qu Guifei's expression was so sure and resolute, he couldn't help but speculate.

"Xinzhi, you know who the mother is talking about, right?" Qu Guifei looked at him with a snort, choked up and said, "Do you believe in the mother concubine?" ”

"Mother won't lie to me." Zhu Xin's jaw head.

Concubine Qu felt a little comforted: "For so many years, Empress Chen has really taken great pains to ensure that her son can successfully ascend the throne as emperor, even her old feelings can be used, and what is it to use us poor people?" In her eyes, no one else was important except herself and her son, including the lives of others. Your fourth brother did die of illness, but why did you get sick, you were still young at that time, and no one told you. ”

"Your fourth brother fell into the pond and sucked the dirty water in the pond by mistake, so that he had an abscess in his lungs, and he became a ghost." Qu Guifei closed her eyes, her face full of pain: "It was the maidservant girl Rouyi beside Queen Chen who pushed him into the water, and Bai Zhuo, the inner supervisor next to Concubine Xian, saw it, and as soon as your fourth brother lost his breath, Bai Zhuo was found to have fallen into the well water." It took a long time for the mother concubine to learn the truth from the mouth of the inner prison who lived with Bai Zhuo. It's a pity that Bai Zhuo has been killed and killed, and there is no proof of death. ”

I see!

Zhu Xinzhi tensed his body, clenched his fists, and said nothing.

Qu Guifei gritted her teeth: "Mother concubine is useless, for so many years, because I am afraid of them, and I am worried about you and Yangxi, I have been holding back." But they're too much, too much! Do you know? Yesterday, Chen Yushi actually made a statement to His Majesty, saying that the Northern Wei Dynasty was unstable, the situation was turbulent, and it was really difficult for the Eastern Continent to resist the Northern Wei Dynasty alone, and that he should follow the example of the previous dynasty and make peace with him, and also said that the Eastern Continent should unite with Western Shu, Chen Liang, and Fuyi, especially Western Shu, which is close to the north, and it is most advantageous to form an alliance with us. ”

"What?" Zhu Xinzhi trembled, he didn't hear anything about it.

Yangxi is his own sister, Emperor Xuanqing only has three daughters, the eldest daughter is married, the second daughter Zhu Qingzi has reached the age of marriage and marriage, and has been looking for a suitable husband, the third daughter Zhu Yangxi is only thirteen years old this year, and the Chen family can put their minds on her sister.

Yang Xi is simple and innocent, if he really sends him to kiss, I'm afraid he will be gnawed to the scum!

Zhu Xinzhi was so angry that his face turned white, and he finally understood why Concubine Qu was so emotionally unstable today.

The Chen family hurt the fourth brother, and they want to harm their sister again, the mother concubine can't bear it!

When Concubine Qu thought of her daughter, her tears fell faster and more urgently: "Your father hasn't agreed yet, but people don't tell me if they are thinking." I'm just such a daughter......"

"Mother, don't think too much." Zhu Xinzhi immediately comforted: "Yangxi is your daughter and the daughter of your father, and my father is just as reluctant." If he had been willing, he would have agreed a long time ago, and he deliberately didn't tell his mother, because he was afraid that his mother would worry. Look at you, this hasn't been decided yet, and you've already washed your face with tears, and your father is distressed. ”

Qu Guifei didn't speak.

Zhu Xinzhi saw that her expression was depressed, so he had to say: "Mother, don't worry, as long as there is a son in the day, you will never let Yang Xi go to kiss." Erchen will help the mother concubine keep Yangxi by her side. ”

He has always been a good talker, and Qu Guifei nodded tearfully: "Mother believes in you." ”

For a while, both mother and son fell silent.

When he entered the palace today, he never thought that he would hear so much news, Zhu Xinzhi only felt that his mind was swollen, and he missed Xie Chengyin's slender hands. When those hands were pinched on his head, the strength was very good, and every tendon that was tense could be moderately relaxed, making him feel at ease.

Miss her again!

As soon as he thought of it, Zhu Xinzhi was a little annoyed, if she knew, she would be even more proud!

Thinking of this, he tried to change the conversation: "Mother, you just said that Empress Chen once had an old relationship?" ”

Concubine Qu was stunned for a moment, and an unnatural look flashed on her face: "You heard it wrong." ”

"There are no outsiders here, the lonely bird is guarding outside, and the sand is also clearing, the mother concubine should tell her son-in-law with peace of mind, let her son know the ins and outs, and seek justice for her brother and plan for Yangxi." Zhu Xinzhi looked at Qu Guifei disapprovingly: "Isn't the mother concubine not trusting her son, and thinks that her son is reckless?" ”

"No, hey! It's all old things from many years ago, and if you bring it up again, it will inevitably make your father feel embarrassed. Concubine Qu sighed again and again.

After thinking about it, what Zhu Xinzhi said also made sense.

In the end, the heart of denouncing justice for her son still overcame the restraint that she should have in her heart, Qu Guifei wiped the corners of her eyes, and showed a sneer: "Do you know that for so many years, Meng Guifei has obviously had a prince, but the Meng family has always turned a blind eye to the second prince and respected the prince?" ”

"I don't know." Zhu Xinzhi shook his head.

In the past, he was naïve, and he always felt that Meng Tingping was a fair person, so that he could support the orthodoxy of Kuang Fu Sheji regardless of gains and losses. But then so many things happened that he could no longer trust this man.

Meng Tingping is a mercenary person, who only values the gains and losses of the Meng family, and will not be so fearless.

Qu Guifei is no longer young, today's great sorrow and joy makes her look a lot older, seeing Zhu Xinzhi shaking his head, the smile on his face is even more sarcastic: "Of course you don't know, this is an old thing thirty years ago." At that time, Meng Tingping had passed the year of his establishment, and the Great Zhou Tianxia Mansion was about to fall, and he was a talent in the Eastern Continent and attracted the attention of the Quartet. Every time he travels, the limelight is very strong, and how many Miss Jingzhong want to be his wife, especially after his death in the main room, even if it is a continuation of the string, there are people who are willing. ”

"You can't imagine that Empress Chen is one of them. Empress Chen was only twenty years old, and when she was young, she was taken care of by Meng Tingping, and she treated him with affection and affection. Qu Guifei smiled and said: "The two of them promised each other a marriage contract, but before the Meng family's dowry arrived, the Chen family had already promised Miss Chen to your father with a marriage letter." ”
