Chapter 36: A Hypocritical Mother and Son

After a short time, the palace maid led a young man with good manners and a handsome face into the door, and Concubine Hui immediately smiled.

The eighth elder brother is fourteen or fifteen years old, and the boys of other people's families have not yet grown up at this age, but they are in a hurry to pretend to be adults, but they are full of childishness.

But the eighth elder brother is different, with his biological mother's cold and beautiful face, the young man is clean between his eyebrows and eyes, his skin is white but not miserable, his body is thin but not weak, he is already polite and dignified at a young age, and every time Concubine Hui sees this child, it is a pity that he does not crawl out of his belly, and secretly rejoices that his biological mother's status is low.

"Say hello to Eniang, Eniang is auspicious." The eighth elder brother stepped forward and saluted, and when he raised his head after the salute, he smiled gently and deferentially.

"Hungry, sit down and eat, the emperor gave two dishes today, it must be that you have been praised for your hard work in the study, and Eniang has also been stained." Concubine Hui said, so she beckoned the child to eat and ordered the palace maid to serve soup for him.

"E-Niang use it first." The eighth elder brother did not dare to pick up chopsticks.

"Okay, E-Niang will use it first." Concubine Hui looked kind, took a shrimp and chewed it slowly, and urged the eighth elder brother to move the chopsticks, looking at the child in a very good mood.

The eighth elder brother is well-behaved, and he doesn't even make a sound when he chews crispy raw vegetables, and Concubine Hui gives him vegetables, and he has to thank him again and again.

When the meal was almost used, the palace maids quickly withdrew their hands and feet, and finally a sweet came up, Concubine Hui smiled and said: "I taste good during the day, and I will send some to Yanxi Palace tomorrow, and the nobles of Juezen seem to like it very much." ”

"Yes, my son will try it too." Yinxi didn't thank his mother, he guessed that Concubine Hui wouldn't like to hear that, just obediently bowed her head and ate.

"I inquired with the Queen Mother, and Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong also asked, but I don't know which girl Huang Ama has taken a fancy to." Concubine Hui gently pushed the bowl of sweets in front of her adopted son in front of her, "Yinxi, if you have any thoughts in your heart, you can tell me and tell Huang Ama." ”

Yinyu put down the spoon before he spoke: "Erchen doesn't dare to have any thoughts, everything is up to Huang Ama and Eniang." ”

Concubine Hui couldn't help frowning: "The emperor always praises you for your good homework, better than the first few above, he loves you so much, you occasionally go to be a coquette, ask yourself about it, and it doesn't hinder anything." ”

Yinyu said: "Huang Ama has every opportunity, the sons and daughters just read and write, and other daily tea and rice are taken care of by Eniang, and there are palace people to serve, so there is really nothing to ask for from Huang Ama anymore." ”

Concubine Hui gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, folded it carefully, glanced at the eighth elder brother with a heart, and said: "You are a good boy, E-Niang knows, but outsiders don't think so, they will only say that E-Niang favors one over the other, only cares about your eldest brother, and does not rush for your affairs." ”

Yinyu hurriedly got up, knelt down on one knee and said, "It's the son's fault that makes Eniang embarrassed." ”

Concubine Hui looked at the child on the ground, she was so impatient, the reason why she raised this child was because she knew that she was no longer favored by the emperor, and the only eldest brother made her very uneasy, so she moved her mind to hold a prince to raise.

It just so happened that at that time, the Jue Chan clan was following the late Concubine Wen, and the concubine had a perverse temperament, and before the tenth elder brother, she lost her temper when she heard the cry of the eighth elder brother, and one day directly drove the mother and son out of the Xianfu Palace, and Concubine Hui took the opportunity to raise the child to her knees, which was considered to have solved a troublesome matter for the emperor at that time.

But since Mingzhu was suppressed a few years ago, Concubine Hui's biggest backer has become precarious, and the princes in the palace were born and raised one after another, and she was no longer loved by the emperor eight hundred years ago, and the eighth elder brother has become a burden in her eyes.

It's just that this burden is so good, whether it is a lecture in the study or a state banquet, the emperor will praise him when he mentions the eighth elder brother, although Concubine Hui is a little more decent because of this, but this son is not hers, the eldest brother is her life. Root.

To say that today's four concubines are the first women to be by the emperor's side, in terms of family background, Concubine Hui was the first of the four concubines, but the other three, Concubine Rong is the woman who gave birth to the emperor's first child, the longest year, and has both children under her knees, Princess Rongxian has just married and kissed for the imperial court, and the emperor's affection for Jingyang Palace has long surpassed the love of men and women.

Then Concubine Yi was able to give birth to three sons for the emperor in one go, the former holy favor does not need to be repeated, and she was a little rude and willful when she was young, and now she is a mother-in-law, she still goes her own way, but the emperor never blushes with her, and even goes to Yikun Palace to coax her to be happy.

The most jealous of Concubine Hui is Concubine Yonghe Palace, what blessings in the world call her Wu Ya's occupation, I don't know why she hooked the emperor, and now she can still take her alone and live in the Changchun Garden for a month or two, and among the four concubines, it is clear that she is the latest to rise and has the lowest family background, but now she has become the master of the house, and the queen mother and the emperor discuss everything with Concubine De.

Look at yourself again, the dignity of the eldest son and mother of the Emperor of the Preface, and the family background are all among the best in this palace. If Gong Ruofei still has an eighth elder brother who goes out to school every day and returns from school, he is really cold, not like someone living in it.

"You get up, good boy, E-Niang just told you what you were embarrassed about, it was all other people chewing their tongues, and it has nothing to do with you." Concubine Hui reined in her thoughts, ordered the palace maid to help the eighth elder brother up, and after he sat down, she continued, "No matter whose show girl the emperor chooses, I will treat her well and teach her, let her become your virtuous helper, and don't let you have worries in the court." ”

"Thank you, E-niang."

"I see that the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother have already helped the emperor with errands, and you will soon be like the elder brothers, and the eldest brother will take care of you at that time, so you just have to follow the eldest brother."

"Yes, the retainers will listen to the teachings of the eldest brother."

Concubine Hui's anger burned inch by inch in her heart, and she seemed to be a wooden man with no mind in front of her, who spoke for a long time, without a word of use, looking obedient and obedient, but she could sense that this child was rebelling against her from the blood and bones.

"That's ......good," but she still suppressed the fire in her heart, and still said lovingly, "Your brothers are harmonious and can support each other, so E-Niang will be relieved." ”

The eighth elder brother replied one by one, and he obeyed whatever Concubine Hui said, and even ate the bowl of sweets that Concubine Hui pushed him, so that his stomach was full at night and he was restless.

So when he went to the study the next day, Yinxi was depressed, and his stomach was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even drink a sip of tea, but as soon as he entered the study, he saw the thirteenth and fourteenth quarreling.

It's just that Fourteen took a fancy to his brother's sachet, which Concubine De sewed for Thirteen with her own hands, and Yinxiang would not let her younger brother everywhere in order to please her adoptive mother, protecting her sachet and saying: "If you rob me again, I will tell Eniang to beat you." ”

Fourteen was coaxed, and the hippie smiled and coaxed the brother not to be angry, and the little brother turned around and reconciled.

This is a brother, Yinxi is very envious.
