With so many lively and lovely children, how joyful and affectionate she should have been as a loving mother. However, at this time, there was not a trace of a smile on his face. Let the children call her, but they only respond perfunctorily. After the children had asked for peace one by one, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, with an undisguised deep disgust and tiredness on her face.

Only the tallest child, he ran alone, holding a bouquet of egg-sized red flowers in his hand, sweeping it on the woman's face, coquettish and unscrupulous: "Mother...... Mom...... This flower is so fragrant......"

He was not afraid of her.

This little child is not afraid of her.

She stretched out her arms and hugged him, and the look of disgust disappeared completely, and she was extremely amiable. Hug for a while before leaving.

It's a stepmother.

Tuoba Hong.

A vicious, vicious, indifferent stepmother. The legendary stepmothers are like this.

Tuoba Hong was familiar with this figure, but strangely, he could even see her eyes clearly, but he couldn't see her face. He walked over to her and asked, "Why do you show your disgust for these lovely children?" They are all your children, why are you so favoritous? You're only kind to that child, what about the others? Why do you treat them like that? ”

The woman glared at him in a tone of disgust.

"They are not my children, they were not born of me, but they are just the debts of my husband. If it weren't for my husband's instructions, I would have left a long time ago......"

Hiroshi opened his mouth wide.

"You see, none of them resemble me. Except for my husband, what do you say they have to do with me? Except to hinder my lifelong youth and waste half my life's effort, why should I bother to educate them? ”

"The child is not guilty...... What does the child know? ”

"Haha, what does the child know? They understand everything. When their birth mother is favored, their eyes can be sharper than a pug, and they can tell who is in power and who is in power...... Children are devils from an early age, and they will be devils when they grow up......"

"I don't agree with you......"

The woman ignored him, and her tone of hatred turned to resentment and viciousness: "Besides, which of their biological mothers didn't climb into her husband's bed again and again because she was young and beautiful? They have joined forces and repeatedly challenged my bottom line and level of tolerance...... Have they ever thought about treating me well and giving me leeway? ”

Tuoba Hong was quite hesitant and didn't know how to answer.

"That'...... Your late husband...... How does he treat you? ”

She sneered and turned abruptly.

An emaciated man floated out like a ghost.

"Please...... Be kind to my children...... I have never begged you in my life, but I beg you to be kind to them......"

"Okay, I promise you."

"Not only do you do good to them, but also your sons...... Educate him and do good to his brothers and sisters...... In everything, we must be tolerant, tolerant, and tolerant of our brothers...... He was the eldest son...... I won't allow fratricide to happen again......"

"Haha...... You mean that he has to include his brother at all times? ”

"This ......" the man hesitated, his face so thin that there was not a trace of blood, like a walking corpse, as if this was his last wish, and the reason why he was alive, why he came out of nowhere, was to say such things.

"Please, raise your noble hands...... Protect their brother at all times...... The eldest brother is the father...... He's the eldest child, and he's supposed to take care of his brother......"

The woman suddenly became furious, and struck the thin man in the chest with one palm.

"Your romantic debts, you just want me to help you bear them, why do you order my son?? Why are you?? Did you know that he was kind to them, and they were really kind to him? Have you forgotten who poisoned your meals for a long time? Have you forgotten who almost pushed you off a cliff? It's your brother...... Your brother...... Why didn't you treat him well in the first place? I'll kill you, a hypocrite, you can't do it yourself, and you're actually here to harm my son......"

There was a snap, and another palm.

The emaciated man was bleeding profusely.

Tuoba Hong screamed and jumped out of bed.

The servants came in when they heard the news, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, are you all right? ”

He was sweating profusely, the cold wind was swishing, and it was just a dream.

It turned out to be a nightmare.

He was so tired that he almost collapsed.

The Queen Mother, that's the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother, the Father.

In every dream he had, they were arguing so bloodily.

So much so that he never thought that they had really loved each other, and always thought that they were two people who had been hostile all their lives.

For as long as he can remember, he has rarely seen the smile of the Queen Mother. Of the six "grandchildren", five of them are not pleasing to her eyes. However, she had to look at these little rabbits in pain, and every day they came to the morning and dusk, dangling around her eyelids. When I couldn't bear it anymore, I finally canceled the rules, and I didn't want to meet them at all, except for the New Year's Festival.

Tuoba Hong knew from a very young age that the Queen Mother didn't like those children at all.

She was disgusted even when she saw them.

It's just that she doesn't show it, she is full of courtesy, she endures the torment, and she has fulfilled her duty of generosity and kindness to them all her life—it's just that she never taught them.

She once personally compiled several teaching materials for Tuoba Hong, and also summoned Ye Jia on a whim, and Miao Lian read and painted with him...... However, she never taught those princes, grandsons,

That's the teapot theory of the teacup.

Men always think that a teapot can have n more than one teacups; However, I haven't heard of a teacup that needs to be equipped with n more than one teapot, right?

Therefore, they have three wives and four concubines, and they have words.

Countless wives and concubines have given birth to countless children, and they have been fighting belly lawsuits all their lives, and even public swords are flying and bleeding.

For thousands of years, more than half of the civil strife was caused by too many young wives of the emperor.

However, no one has ever really reflected on this matter.

By the time Tuoba Hong woke up, it was too late—in fact, he was the first emperor in history to reflect. After him, there are basically few people who reflect, and it can really be said that there is no one before or since.

It was vaguely as if it was the tragic voice of his father: "Hong'er, you have grown up, you have to protect our Xianbei people's country and take good care of your brothers...... Never kill each other......"

When his father was dying, he confessed like this;

When my father was in the Black Maple Forest, he explained like this.

These are the two major things left to him by his father, and he has never violated them in his life.

and the Queen Mother's light voice: "Hong'er, your father wants me to protect his sons." In my life, I have never killed any of his sons. ”

This is one of Empress Dowager Feng's last words before her death. She didn't say anything superfluous, but this sentence was all in plain sight......
