After the accident, the first time the fourth elder brother Hongshi saw Xi Concubine in private was on the first day of the eighth month.

After all, it is impossible not to meet in private forever, and on this day, Hongshi still took the initiative to ask Concubine Xi for peace.

He already knew one thing, whether it was true or not, he couldn't go too far.

It's been more than half a year, and that's enough.

Xi Concubine was very happy to hear that the fourth elder brother was coming.

Hurriedly greeted him: "It's coming." ”

Hongshi didn't know how to face such enthusiasm for a while, so he lowered his head to hide the complexity in his eyes and said, "Say hello to Eniang." ”

This is the first time since the last accident that the concubine has seen Hongshi at such a close distance after the demotion of the concubine.

Hongchang has grown a lot taller, but he has lost a lot of weight.

Before they met, Concubine Xi had a stomach to say, but when they really met, they didn't know where to start.

"Come in, it's still hot outside." Xi Concubine said.

Hongshi naturally felt a lot more rusty. What's more, he really has a grudge in his heart.

It doesn't matter if this grudge is true or a joke.

Sometimes, after a long time of acting, it can come true.

Doesn't it mean that if you want to lie truthfully, you have to lie to yourself first? Hongshi is now half lying to himself.

After entering the house and serving tea, Concubine Xi waved her hand and asked everyone to go out.

I thought that there were only mother and son in the house, and it would be easy to talk, but in fact it was not the case.

Now there are only two people left, mother and son, but they don't know how to speak.

In the past, they were mother and son who were more reasonable than affectionate. Now that something like this has happened, it is even more complicated.

In the end, it was Xi Concubine who said: "Is Hongshi a strange mother?" ”

Even if I didn't understand it at first, after more than half a year, it was clear.

"My son doesn't dare." Hiroshi said dryly.

"I don't dare, it's not that I don't complain." Concubine Xi smiled bitterly: "It's just that E-Niang doesn't understand, why do you blame E-Niang?" ”

"My son doesn't blame Eniang." Hiroshi bowed his head.

"You were born by me, and you were raised by me, whether you are angry or not, I can still see it. Do you blame me for not planning enough? It's me ......" Concubine Xi couldn't go on.

"Eniang, those things are over, so there is no need to say it. E-Niang is now ...... It's also downgraded, so why bother mentioning it again? Hongshi glanced at Xi Concubine and bowed his head again.

"E-Niang is like this now, it's nothing. You also know that the person of the imperial concubine is also a rare person. Even though I was demoted, life was not sad. As for your Emperor Ama, you don't care about the quality of Eniang, but it's almost the same as before. Xi Concubine smiled bitterly and laughed at herself.

It's also a half-truth, but I don't know whether to comfort Hongshi or comfort myself.

Hiroshi knew that he didn't want to continue the topic. He didn't even want to speak.

But even if he has resentment in his heart, Eniang is still Eniang. If only then would he be gone. It is inevitable that the servants in the palace in the garden think that he is disgusted with Eniang.

In the future, I will have to ask Eniang to be wronged.

Even though Eniang ...... But E-niang gave birth to him.

"Hongshi ......" Concubine Xi shouted: "Have you given up?" ”

Hongshi raised his head suddenly, glanced at Concubine Xi in shock, and then lowered his head to cover the fingers in his sleeves.

His fingers tightened suddenly.

"E-niang...... Let's not talk about it. "Hiroshi's voice is obviously unstable and a little empty.

"When the first emperor was born, the prince had been the prince for thirty years. But what in the end? Now...... E-Niang really doesn't believe that your emperor Ama can really pamper the imperial concubine for a lifetime. She's going to get old, she's going to be ugly. Will it really be favored? It's going to be drafted next year. "Xi Concubine said quietly.

"E-niang, what's the trouble?" Hiroshi picked up the tea, but he didn't want to drink the tea at all, he was just nervous.

"E-niang will also be unconvinced." Xi Concubine's voice was not loud, but the expression on her face was very profound.

"From the beginning of the dive house, Eniang refused to accept it. E-Niang is Gege, but how did the Ye family get favored and face-saving at that time, and E-Niang ...... And I, on the other hand, am inferior to her. Xi Concubine laughed at herself again: "Everywhere is not as good as her." After entering the palace...... When I entered the palace, I was pregnant with you, but I could only get the position of a nobleman. What about her? She didn't even know if she was pregnant at that time, and the emperor gave her a noble position! even overpowered me on the title! Why? I'm a Manchurian, and I'm a good kid who entered the house. Where did I come up as a concubine as her? ”

"After giving birth to you, how long will it take for me to be promoted? What about her? Ming nobles, Ming concubines! It's not easy, when she offended the Queen Mother, she was stripped of her title! I naively thought that the emperor cared about the rules and hated her! But the result? ”

Concubine Xi sneered: "Now, after more than ten years, I recall that the emperor simply thinks that the Ming character is not suitable for her!" Take advantage of that incident in a different way to give her a better title! 'Chen'! Who would dare to use it? And she used it! Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen! Imperial Princess! She only gave birth to three children, and her family is not as big as Tong Jia's family, she has no support and no assistance! But she is not a queen, she is better than a queen! ”

"How beautiful was the concubine of the first emperor? But once gave birth to a prince with bad legs, what was the result? You can't be pampered, you can't get ahead, and you can't be promoted. But what do you think of her? The eighth elder brother can't speak when he is five years old, and the emperor not only does not resent, but also pities and cares! Yes, Eighth Elder Brother is good, but if you think about it, even if it is not good, can your Emperor Ama be disgusted with them? No! Even the Queen Mother didn't say much! The one who can't speak is still, not the royal shame, but the royal heart! It's the emperor's heart! It's the emperor's guilt and pity! ”

Concubine Xi became excited, and her whole body was shaking.

"E-niang......" Hongshi shouted, but he didn't have much strength to stop it.

These are all facts.

"You and Hongxin are the same age, and they are both equally smart. But in the past ten years, how has he grown, and how have you grown? Your emperor Ama dotes on his mother, how many emperors have he seen more than you? ”

"Over the years, how many things has he done to beat people and scold dogs? Do you dare to do those things? But what about your Emperor Ama to him? Not only did he not dislike it, but he even felt very good. Otherwise, how could the crown prince come to him? Speaking from the heart, Hongshi, don't you have this qualification? ”

Xi Concubine stared at her son.

Hongshi didn't dare to speak, and his heart tugged violently.

yes, isn't he qualified? Although, he felt that there was something wrong in Eniang's words. But for a while, I couldn't tell what was wrong.

It's just that this big truth on the surface is all right.

The same prince, why is he inferior?

"E-niang has been like this in her life. Never been seriously pampered. But you are different, you are a noble prince. Think about it, think about the son of the first emperor, who is your emperor Ama? When she was in the palace, E-Niang never thought that she could be a concubine of the Son of Heaven. ”
