Chapter Fifty-eight
Nan Zhu raised his eyebrows, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
He has seen a lot of dark and dirty things in high schools over the years.
But generally, it’s the dirty things that come from a house with the door closed.
Wives, concubines, and concubines are naturally in conflict with each other.
But no matter how much we fight for it, it will always fall into the hands of our own bloodline.
Since ancient times, bloodline inheritance has been the foundation of a family.
The older the family and the higher the status, the more emphasis they place on blood ties.
In the same way, family origin is the foundation of a person's life.
The more you want to go to higher places, the more you need to have an innocent identity.
I have never met anyone who would give up their family name and want to change it.
What's more, Uncle Zhongyi died less than a year ago, and he was Bai Xiaonian's biological father. It was hard for her to do such a thing of forgetting her ancestors.
"That's not right. Since Bai Lin comes from the Lin family, she must be a well-educated person. Even if the daughter wants to change her ancestry, she, the mother, will never agree."
"Tsk..." Jiang Fengmian said disdainfully: "For some people, if their family can't be their help, then even if they change their name, it doesn't matter."
…
The two of them were chatting happily, but they saw Xiao Jue sitting beside him with a strange look on his face.
Jiang Fengmian was stunned, as if he thought of something, and immediately signaled Nan Zhu to stop talking.
Nan Zhu didn't react at first and was confused. Then he accidentally saw Xiao Jue's face and suddenly realized it and woke up instantly.
For a while, none of the three people spoke again, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Compared with Jiang Fengmian's uneasiness, Xiao Jue acted very calmly, as if he didn't care what they said.
But Jiang Fengmian and Nan Zhu, one is a brother who grew up with him, and the other is a confidant who has been with him for many years.
It can be said that they are the people who know him best in the world.
…
Xiao Jue seems to be extremely prosperous now, but he was not the proud one from the beginning.
He has also made more efforts than ordinary people in places that others cannot see.
Even if he does have outstanding talent, a peerless master cannot be developed in a day. Genius also takes time.
Others only saw Prince Xiao acting unruly and recklessly in the capital, leaning on the bridge with his horse leaning on the bridge and moving with red sleeves. But on the battlefield, he was able to take the lead and be invincible.
Otherwise, there are so many royal families in the capital, why is it that only Xiao Jue can win the favor of the Holy Emperor?
Even though Prince Yong was the most valued brother of Emperor Chongming, he did not only have Xiao Jue as his son.
What's more, rumors about Xiao Jue's different life experience spread out in Beijing.
Therefore, Xiao Jue's situation in Beijing may seem bright, but in fact it can be said that he is surrounded by enemies on all sides.
The only thing he can rely on now is His Majesty's respect.
…
They have also seen what happened in Prince Yong's mansion for so many years.
Although Xiao Jue is the eldest son of Prince Yong's palace, he is the daughter of Prince Yong's first wife.
When Concubine Yuan died young, the late Emperor pointed out the Queen's surname, the Right Chancellor, and gave her to Prince Yong as his concubine.
Many years passed, and the step-concubine Wang gave birth to a son and a daughter to King Yong, plus a concubine and a concubine.
Today, in addition to Xiao Jue, there are two other young masters and two girls in Prince Yong's Mansion.
At that time, Prince Yong Xiao Shen insisted on making his eldest son Xiao Jue his heir apparent.
At that time, the Wang family had just passed away, had no heirs, and had an unstable foundation. They could only watch as the crown prince was occupied by Xiao Jue.
But now the Wang family has been in charge of the inner courtyard of Prince Yong's Mansion for many years, and has already given birth to a legitimate son for Prince Yong.
How could you really be willing to hand over everything in Prince Yong's Mansion to someone else's son in the end?
Therefore, when Xiao Jue was young, she always showed her dedication to the outside world.
She gave Xiao Jue whatever he wanted. She never scolded Xiao Jue for a word, just like a loving mother.
But secretly, he carefully cultivated his son and had strict requirements.
Xiao Jue was ignorant at that time and naively thought that she was sincerely good to him.
So deep down in my heart, I was very dependent on this stepmother.
Gradually, his reputation as a playboy spread throughout the capital.
Suddenly one day, King Yong, who always ignored everything, took Xiao Jue away from the princess and moved him to the front yard for the first time.
At the same time, he announced that in the future, the prince would be taught by him personally.
From then on, whether he was leading troops on an expedition or staying in the capital, he always took Xiao Jue with him.
Because of this, Xiao Jue could never sleep in again.
He is also the son of his father, and the second brother Xiao Huan, the daughter of the princess, can always play coquettishly in his father's arms.
But he gets up before dawn every day to practice Qigong.
Xiao Huan skipped class for fun, but his father just laughed and scolded him and let him go.
And even though his article won first place, he never received a word of praise from his father.
As time passed, the young Xiao Jue was not immune to grievances.
In front of him, King Yong always looked serious and unsmiling.
But towards the other siblings in the house, he has always been soft-spoken and doting on them.
Xiao Jue also complained to his nanny why his father always only criticized him harshly.
Every time, the nanny would just say that it was because he was the crown prince.
Because he is the crown prince, the young prince of Prince Yong's palace, and the person who will take over the throne of Prince Yong from his father in the future, he must put aside his own joys and sorrows and assume more responsibilities than others.
So gradually, he stopped complaining and just regarded it as his father's expectation for him.
He is willing to complete it.
It's just that some things are not that easy.
For many years, Xiao Jue studied and practiced martial arts with the teacher invited by King Yong for him, and was often away from the capital.
When reading "Zuo Zhuan", my husband talked about "Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan". Recalling the events of that year, Xiao Jue finally understood what it means to praise and kill.
Xiao Jue lost his mother when he was young, whether it was true or false.
After all, I am still attached to the care that Mrs. Wang once gave me.
He once thought, that's it.
After all, she is not a biological mother and child, and what she did is only human nature.
When he ascends the throne in the future, he will do his best to take care of the Wang family until his old age.
…
But King Yong is still tough, but some people can't wait.
Xiao Jue closed his eyes.
The deliberate frame-ups time and time again, and the killings in the dark night.
He was reminded all the time that some people were eyeing the throne of the Crown Prince.
There were also those vicious and baseless rumors that made his heart harden inch by inch.
Today, he is deeply tired of having to accompany them all the time and do some drama of motherly kindness and sonship in front of King Yong.
