Chapter 109 Isn't It True that a Family Does Not Enter a House?
Fortunately, the tenth prince was young, and there was always someone guarding him.
Seeing the king of Chu barging in, the palace people only said that he came to visit the tenth prince, but they dared not stop him. Seeing this situation, how could they dare to let him go?
In a hurry, he took something to extinguish the curtain, and sent people to find the queen to report.
Gu Zhen was trembling with anger when he heard the news, and asked sharply: "Where is that unscrupulous thing now?! Take it with me immediately!"
However, when the King of Chu came up to him, he burst into tears and said that his mother would not want him after she had Xiao Shi, and Gu Zhen felt that he couldn't bear it.
"Your Majesty, this is no small matter." Upon seeing this, the valet reminded him in a low voice, "If His Highness the King of Chu only said that he wanted His Majesty to accompany him more, then it's fine, but now he's going to kill the Tenth Prince. It won't be remembered in the future. Moreover, if the Tenth Prince grows up in the future, if he finds out about this and feels resentment in his heart, this... this will not be conducive to the harmony between brothers!"
It turns out that there is nothing new about royal heirs, brothers being at odds, or even turning against each other.
But if the same concubine also had internal strife, as a mother, it would be very painful.
Gu Zhen was silent for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, pushed away the king of Chu who was crying on his knees until he was almost dying, asked someone to fetch a whisk, and personally pressed him on the ground and beat him firmly a meal.
In fact, she still feels sorry for the child, otherwise she would not do it herself, because she is afraid that the subordinates will step on the low and worship the high, and deliberately sell it to the tenth prince, and secretly beat the king of Chu, even if the palace is punished. Doesn't help.
However, it may be because he loves the King of Chu too much in the past. At first, the King of Chu begged for mercy, but then he began to complain. He cried in a crying voice: "Sure enough, after having ten brothers and mothers, there is no need for sons and ministers! Why should the ten brothers take care of themselves?" My son was born?! He deserves to die! He should die! After his mother dies, he will only love me!!!”
Gu Zhen was so angry that he burst into tears on the spot, grabbed him and screamed, "When you came to Bengong, I already had your third brother! When did your third brother say such a thing or do such a thing?" What?! You came to play with your third brother, why didn’t you learn your third brother’s tolerance and gentleness!!!”
At this moment, the queen wanted to simply give up on the king of Chu.
Anyway, the child's biological mother is dead, even if she is not dead, her status is humble after all, so what can she do?
Even Chunjia didn't care about this son anymore, and the queen was sure that even if Chunjia knew that she deliberately killed the king of Chu, she wouldn't care about it.
But just when her heart was shaken, the third prince who received the news rushed over, crossed the threshold with difficulty and knelt down, walked up to her, hugged her ankle and cried loudly, begging her not to blame the king of Chu: "Mother, The fifth brother is young and ignorant, please forgive me!"
Seeing the marks of the beating on the king of Chu, he rushed over to hug him and coax him, telling the queen to beat him if she wanted to. It was his fault that his elder brother didn't take care of his younger brother.
To say that Gu Zhen felt pity for the king of Chu with some guilt for not being able to protect him well, but he had real pity and love for the third prince.
In particular, the third prince was the first child entrusted to her to be raised. Although Chunjia didn't like it, it was precisely because of this dislike that Gu Zhen had the illusion that the third prince belonged to him alone. Now seeing the third prince defending Chu like this Wang, the tip of her nose was sore, and she choked up and said, "It would be great if the king of Chu could be like you!"
For the sake of the third prince, he was not willing to continue to punish him. He only shed tears to reason with them, saying that the tenth prince is their brother, and he is also a legitimate son like the king of Chu. They should love each other, not be jealous of each other. .
"This palace is not only your mother's queen, but also the mother's mother of all the emperor's heirs." Gu Zhen looked at the tear-stained King Chu and said sadly, "Many of your brothers and sisters are still young, so they don't come out often. Wait. In a few years, you will know that this palace has never been owned by any of you alone! Xiao Wu, you think so, it is only because you have a sensible elder brother. Now that you are your own elder brother, you should also treat your third elder brother Do you understand the magnanimity with which you were treated back then and with Xiao Ten?"
The king of Chu didn't understand, he just understood that the queen said that she was not his alone, so he burst into tears again.
The queen was exhausted physically and mentally, and couldn't help but whisper to the left and right: "I really hope that I can be as decisive and ruthless as the imperial concubine, maybe I won't make these little ancestors quarrel!"
...In fact, the situation in Huanhua Palace is similar at the moment, except that it is not King Qin who is leading the trouble, but Princess Zhaoqing.
Maybe it's because she didn't burn out her brain, but Princess Zhaoqing didn't kill the Ninth Prince, she just complained to Yun Fenghuang: "Mother, the ninth brother is so ugly, why don't you throw him away?" ? You want a child, look at Erchen! Erchen is the best looking!"
When she said this at first, Yunfeng Huangquan thought it was childish and laughed it off.
Turning around, I found that the daughter was urging the palace servants who served the Ninth Prince not to be so concerned, and that the Ninth Prince should not be fed when he was hungry, and that he should not care if he was crying, so he frowned: "Isn't this just that the whole family doesn't come into the house? This child It wasn't born by Bengong, it was just recorded in Bengong's name, and he was so jealous at such a young age!"
The Qing people said: "It may not be His Highness's own intention, maybe someone instigated His Highness?"
But let Chen Jing check it out, and there really is no one to persuade Princess Zhaoqing.
This is not surprising, with Yun Fenghuang's temperament, anyone who dares to do things under her nose has been dealt with long ago.
Besides, Princess Zhaoqing is only a girl and cannot inherit the throne, what is her close servant trying to get her to compete with the prince named Yun Fenghuang?
After their princess grows up, she will have to rely on the Ninth Prince.
Yun Fenghuang couldn't help laughing when she knew about it, she couldn't understand how terrible a child's jealousy is, after all, she herself is jealous by nature, if Jiang Shi didn't really love Xie Fenghuan and was shrewd, she would have been able to easily at the age of six or seven. Play this concubine to death.
At this moment, she was not angry, and only pulled Zhaoqing to praise her softly a few times: "Zhaoqing is the most obedient, the most beautiful, and the most considerate mother and concubine. Xiaojiu is not in good health. Zhaoqing will definitely help mother and concubine take care of the little concubine." Nine, so that the mother and concubine can breathe a sigh of relief, right?"
"I heard that your third and fifth younger brothers don't like Xiao Shi. The concubine mother is really frightened! How can there be such a person, and the brothers and feet under the same mother's knees don't like it? Our Zhaoqing must not be that bad child!"
"Xiaojiu is so pitiful. She was born so thin and small, and she is not very good-looking. She is far behind Zhaoqing. Alas, if such a poor Xiaojiu is not protected by a kind-hearted sister like Zhaoqing, she will die in the future. But what should I do? I can't help but shed tears when I think about it for my mother."
At the end, he looked at Zhaoqing full of anticipation, "Zhaoqing is the most filial and obedient, you will definitely help mother and concubine, right?"
Princess Zhaoqing: "..."
Even though she was smarter than ordinary children, she was only three years old, and she was a little at a loss when she heard the words.
I want to deny it according to my heart, but I am afraid that the concubine mother will think that she is not a good child and will be misbehaved. This...?
"Mother Concubine knew that Zhaoqing would definitely agree!" Yun Fenghuang waited for a while, seeing her blankly there, touched her head with a suppressed smile, and said seriously, "Then Mother Concubine will not have time to come and see Xiaojiu, it's up to Zhaoqing to help mother and concubine stare at this screwdriver slave, have you been harsh on your brother in private!"
Princess Zhaoqing: "..."
I always feel that something seems wrong... But Yun Fenghuang answered in time, "If it's someone else, the concubine mother can't rest assured!"
She suddenly felt that she was really special in the heart of Concubine Mu, and nodded happily: "Concubine Mu, don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on them!"
After the resounding promise, Yun Fenghuang caressed his cheek and coaxed him to send out a few words of good obedience without money, and was blown by the cold wind outside, only then realized belatedly: I want my concubine to throw away Xiaojiu Yes, I can't wait for the people who serve Xiao Jiu to treat him badly, why do I have to protect Xiao Jiu from being bullied by the servants now? ? ?
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, and she couldn't help crying.
Yun Fenghuang in the palace did not feel guilty about lying to the children at all, and happily asked Chen Jing to talk about the excitement of Chongchang Palace: "Just because of such a small matter, the empress cried for several days? Is this the palace? , Why have the eyes of Queen An been red and swollen for the past two days, even if she puts on powder, she can see it? I thought something was wrong, and the king of Chu was jealous... Children are inevitable, coax Just a few sentences, why are you so angry with yourself? The Empress is also a woman of her age, so she doesn't want to be so childish."
Chen Jing smiled and said: "For you, empress, this is just a trivial matter, but for the empress, it is a little difficult to handle. This is not surprising. In terms of intelligence, let alone the empress, the empress is alone. Even if all the Sangong and Six Courtyards are tied up, how can you compare with the Empress?"
I'm tired of hearing this kind of flattery, so I just smiled and asked immediately: "The third prince, he sounds so cute, at such a young age, he actually knows how to love brothers and sisters?"
"Perhaps it's because of looking at the face." Chen Jing said, "After all, you know, empress, although the queen empress still loves the third prince, the rest of the people in Chongchang Palace do not care about the third prince or His Royal Highness Chu. Yes. Otherwise, the former empress would not insist on holding a birthday banquet for the second prince and the third prince."
It is really difficult for the aunt to declare that they are also noble princes of the emperor's flesh and blood, and it is really difficult to grow up to be as arrogant and domineering as the king of Chu.
Yun Fenghuang sighed without sincerity: "The queen's hard work was not in vain, it seems that the princes under Zhonggong's knees are the most worry-free."
Just as he was talking, a report came from outside, saying that Chunjia had come.
The master and servant hurriedly stood up to greet him, and saw Chunjia, wrapped in fox fur, holding Zhaoqing who was wiping tears, walking towards him, frowned slightly and said, "It's so cold, how can you teach a child to cry in the wind?"
Seeing that Yun Fenghuang's complexion was gloomy, he quickly added, "The waiters are too careless! Looking at the noble concubine's good-nature, are you just so lazy?"
The palace servants who served Zhaoqing originally followed behind, but when they heard this, they quickly knelt down and apologized.
Only then did Yun Fenghuang calm down, and stretched out his hand to take Zhaoqing from his arms, so that Chunjia could take off his fur coat, and asked his daughter in surprise, "I ran out happily just now, why are you crying? But Where did you fall and knock?"
"..." Zhao Qing held her mouth tightly, with tears in her eyes, looking at her expectantly.
The little girl's face was almost brightly written: Mother Concubine, quickly say that you don't like Xiaojiu, don't want Xiaojiu, and won't let Erchen go to see Gu Xiaojiu! ! !
Say it quickly! ! !
However, Yun Fenghuang is a heartless stepmother, knowing it well but resolutely pretending to be confused to the end: "Why don't you talk? But I haven't seen your father for a long time, so happy?"
Chunjia quickly retorted: "I've been here every day for the past two days, how could the child be so happy that he cried?"
"Then why are you crying?" Yun Fenghuang put on a straight face, and handed Zhaoqing into his arms, "It seems that Zhaoqing and his concubine mother are not too close after all, or should I let your father ask?"
"No, no, no!" Zhao Qing was stunned, if it was normal, Yun Fenghuang would push her to Chunjia when she was tired of carrying her, she wouldn't care.
After all, as Chunjia's favorite daughter and the daughter she gets along with the most, she is used to being embraced by both the concubine mother and the emperor father, and she will not recognize Chunjia as the third princess.
But at the moment, she is full of thoughts about how to fight for the favor of the Ninth Prince, how can she stand being considered "not close to the mother and concubine"?
She didn't care that Chunjia had already stretched out her hand, entangled Yun Fenghuang like an octopus and refused to go down, and shouted out of her wits, "Mother Concubine, Erchen... Erchen thinks that Xiaojiu is so skinny and pitiful, so I just cried!"
Woo, why is there such a thing as a younger brother? !
Princess Zhaoqing looked at the gratified expressions of her father, queen and concubine at the same time, and she shed tears even more fiercely. She really hoped that Xiao Jiu would be thinner and smaller, so that she would not exist at all! ! !
