Chapter 277: The Three Princes' Thoughts
"Mother, concubine, but what did you do?"
The third prince was anxious and asked anxiously, but Concubine Rong was laughed at angrily.
"Heh, Concubine Rou is pampered and arrogant, and killed the palace maid next to your mother, you don't help your mother to speak, why do you still come to question your mother?"
The third prince didn't expect that Concubine Rong would still say the same thing in front of him.
"Mother, what kind of person is Concubine Rou, don't you really know when you are your father? Why did her father canonize her soft characters? The mother concubine is so blatantly framing the blame, so she is not afraid that her father will blame her? ”
"Blame? It's too late for your father to thank your mother. I think you've been at ease for too long, and you've forgotten the sinister in the palace. ”
Concubine Rong sat back down. Knowing why her son was in a hurry, she was not in a hurry.
"Mother, you are confused, you can frame Concubine Rou today, how can you guarantee that you will not frame other concubines another day? Even if the father is used for a while, when he comes back to his senses, how dare he put a woman who is full of calculations and intrigues by his side? ”
Concubine Rong was told by the words of the third prince, but after thinking for a moment, she shook her head.
"No, Chengyi, what you feared won't happen. You should be the mastermind of your mother, but in fact, it was your father who hinted at your mother, and the mother only carried it out. ”
The third prince was stunned, is it what his father meant?
"Chengyi, everything the mother concubine has done is for the future of our mother, don't you be that white-eyed wolf and bite the mother concubine. When you are in harmony with your mother. ”
The third prince looked embarrassed.
"Mother, if it is successful, the crown prince and brother will not let you go, if you fail, your father will also be disgusted with you, why do you do such a thankless thing?"
Concubine Rong did not have the consciousness of a catastrophe, but hated that iron could not become steel:
"Do we want to be trampled under the feet of Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi for the rest of our lives? Don't you want to ......?"
"I don't want to!"
The third prince was shocked and hurriedly interrupted Concubine Rong's delusions.
"Brother Crown Prince, when did you step on us? Isn't it good to live in peace, as it used to be? ”
"Like before, our mother and son are separated, and we can only see each other once or twice a year, isn't it called stepping on pressure? What else do you want? ”
Concubine Rong stepped out of her seat, held the hand of the third prince, and looked him in the eyes.
"My son, while your father is still in good health, let's give it a go! Although the prince is strong, but now that there is no Xiao family, the prince's strength will make it difficult for your father to sleep. If you can seize the opportunity, you will come to the Kingdom of Clouds, and it will be our mother and son. ”
"Mother concubine, above son, and second emperor brother."
The third prince reminded.
"How can a prince who doesn't have his biological mother take care of him survive the harem battle? As long as I become a noble concubine, there will naturally be a large number of courtiers to support you and stand behind you. ”
Concubine Rong seemed to have seen the scene where the courtiers overwhelmingly supported her son to become the prince.
"But the prince didn't have a biological mother to take care of him."
"You are confused, the prince is from the queen of the main palace, and he is the eldest son! Prince, you don't dare to fight, do you have to be afraid of even a second prince? Chengyi, fight for the mother concubine, don't let the mother concubine, look up to others for the rest of your life, okay? ”
……
The third prince didn't know how he got out of Concubine Rong's bedroom, and the noon sun stabbed him in the heart.
When he was young, he knew that although he and the prince were blood brothers, the prince was the king, he was a minister, and between them, there could only be a master-slave relationship, and it was impossible to be as close as brothers.
When his father gave him a fief, he knew his position clearly.
If you want to say that you are unwilling and yearning, how can he not have it. It's just that this idea occasionally pops up, and he instantly sobers up.
But what his mother said just now was like sprinkling nectar on a seedling that had been in drought for a long time, and even Dashi couldn't suppress the germination of the seedling.
The hope for that supreme position suddenly broke through the ground, and it could never be stuffed back.
At least, there is one thing, what the mother concubine said is right, the emperor is suspicious, and on the side of the couch, he does not allow others to sleep soundly, even if that person is his own son.
In the past, the prince almost dominated the government, but at that time, there were Xiao Guogong and Jun Hongyan, and the prince and his father were of the same mind.
What now? Could it be that as the mother concubine said, his father can't suppress his proud crown prince? Instead, it became a stumbling block for himself?
"I've seen the Three Emperor Brothers."
The low voice interrupted Jun Chengyi's thoughts, and he looked up in a trance to see Princess Wantao coming out of the emperor. When he entered the palace once, he had to come to his father to say goodbye before he could leave the palace.
"Imperial sister, are you okay?"
"As long as my mother is well, I will be well."
One asked in a trance, the other answered in a trance. After each nodding, he continued to walk forward, staggering by.
Princess Wantao's personal palace maid looked back at the three princes, and thought of Concubine Rong's false accusation against their concubine Rou. Whispered with concern:
"Princess, what did the emperor say? Rou Concubine Niangniang may be out of the cold palace? ”
Princess Wantao nodded, remembering what her father had said.
"Wantao, your mother's concubine, although it was not the original intention, it is true that the personal palace maid who killed Concubine Rong is true, and the father, as the king of a country, cannot be partial, otherwise the harem will definitely give birth to more jealous things. You are the most sensible, you should be able to understand this truth, right? ”
"If you want your mother to be exempt from the crime, it's not impossible, if you agree to make peace with Prince Dongyi, your mother will naturally be in her position, engaged for you, and after two years, I will send you to marry."
"Wantao, you are the father's favorite daughter, the father will not harm you, Dongyi is not as powerful as me, I will not dare to be disrespectful to you. What's more, now that you are only engaged, you can still live carefree for two years under the knees of your father and the emperor and your mother. ”
Princess Wantao felt that she was very useless, she clearly knew what was going to happen, and she was mentally prepared.
But why, hearing my father say these words with my own ears, is it still so sad and sad, so painful?
Outside the emperor's bedroom, the eunuch conveyed the holy will:
"Third prince, the emperor has allowed you to enter."
Jun Chengyi glanced back at the imperial sister who had already walked away. With mixed tastes in his heart, he stepped into the main hall.
"The sons and daughters visit their fathers and greet them."
"Give a seat."
The emperor's expression can be regarded as kind. It made him feel a little relieved.
"Thank you, Father."
"Have you gone to see your mother?"
The emperor found a seemingly light-hearted, but full of profound topics to ask.
"Yes, Erchen just came from his mother's concubine, and Father Lao is worried."
Jun Chengyi listened to Concubine Rong's words, and when he faced the emperor again, he was a little less frank and a little more careful.
"Your mother, concubine, often thinks of you in front of me, and separates your mother and son, also for the sake of the stability of the Yunxiao Kingdom, you won't blame me, right?"
Jun Chengyi hurriedly stood up.
"The sons don't dare, as long as it is beneficial to the Yunxiao Kingdom, the sons are willing to do it, and the father has never been short of the sons, the sons are only grateful to the father, but they can't be filial piety by the side of the father and the queen and the concubine, and the sons feel deeply guilty."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, after all, among his sons, there were still sensible ones.
"You are a filial child, your mother, who taught you well."
