"Especially Father Emperor? What do you mean by that, Jie'er?"
When Chen Jie saw Young Master Liu's puzzled look, a look of sadness appeared on her pretty face, and she let out a long breath with her mouth slightly open.
"What else could it mean? It's just the simplest meaning on the surface!"
Seeing the emotion on the beauty's beautiful face, Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and silently recalled some past events many years ago.
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi's eyes showed a hint of enlightenment.
He already understood what Chen Jie wanted to express in what he just said.
Young Master Liu stretched out his hand on the stove to warm his hands, and casually took Chen Jie's still cold jade hand into his palm.
"Jie'er, you are talking about the distinction between direct concubines and concubines, right?"
"Well, that's right."
Chen Jie nodded her head without hesitation and admitted directly.
"Husband, for the world's most famous families, or the families of high-ranking officials, the distinction between direct descendants and concubines is a natural chasm that is difficult to overcome.
Compared with those famous families, he was born in the royal family.
The distinction between direct descendants and concubines is even worse."
Liu Mingzhi gently rubbed the beauty's hands, which had regained some warmth, and breathed out silently.
"When my eldest brother was alive, he still loved Shu'er and you two sisters very much.
The same goes for my father, the old man. When he was still alive, he never targeted you sisters at all!
My husband had seen this with his own eyes back then."
After listening to Young Master Liu's words, Chen Jie nodded without hesitation and said softly: "Husband, I do not deny what you said.
Even sister Shuer will not deny it."
"If that's the case, wouldn't that be enough?"
"But, sir, do you really think that you saw some of the scenes with your own eyes.
Does it have to be true?
Is it necessarily what you imagined?"
"this!"
Liu Mingzhi looked stunned, raised his brows slightly, thought for a moment, and replied in a calm tone: "As the saying goes, what you hear is false, and what you see is true."
Chen Jie gently rubbed her emerald green hands and looked up at Young Master Liu.
"Husband, do you really think so?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the calm and indifferent expression in the beauty's beautiful eyes, with a hint of a sly smile, clasped his brows with his fingers, and shook his head helplessly.
“Actually, that’s not necessarily the case.
My husband has experienced many things, and I understand that some things can even be seen with my own eyes.
It’s not necessarily true.
It’s just that.”
Chen Jie raised her eyebrows and asked directly: "Huh? Just what?"
"Jie'er, as my husband, I can still see whether my eldest brother really loves you and Shu'er, you two sisters.
Things like feelings can really be seen sometimes."
Chen Jie nodded slightly and said softly: "Husband, I have already answered you about this question just now.
I do not deny this."
Young Master Liu frowned slightly and said angrily: "You don't deny it, so why are you asking my husband that question?"
"Husband, I don't deny what I said. I don't deny that your eldest brother still loves me, sister Shu'er and us two sisters very much.
It's a pity that my father, the old man, is just...hehehe..."
Chen Jie only said half of what she said before she stopped abruptly and chuckled a few times with a self-deprecating look on her face.
Then the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a trace of indescribable sadness.
Seeing the look on the beautiful lady's face, Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Jie'er, what's going on with the father?"
Chen Jie raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing. Liu's waist softened slightly, and she leaned on Young Master Liu's shoulder with a chuckle.
"Husband, do you know?"
"Huh? What?"
"When my father was still alive, brothers Ye'er and Tao'er had never entered the inner hall of the imperial study.
And the brothers below your eldest brother, King Qing, King Shu, King Yun, King Jing...
The children of several of their brothers could enter the inner hall of the royal study every once in a while to pay their respects to their father, the emperor.
Ye'er and Tao'er, two brothers, are cousins ​​with Li Xiang and Li Qian!
The treatment I received from my father is completely different."
Young Master Liu frowned and said softly: "Well, I'm really not very clear about these situations."
"Ye'er, Tao'er and their brothers always had red eyes every time they came home from the palace to pay respects.
The most serious incident occurred when Ye'er was eleven years old.
It was one day in early August. Ye'er and Tao'er went into the palace to pay their respects to their father, the emperor.
As a result, as soon as Ye'er returned home, she burst into tears and threw herself into my concubine's arms.
After he finished crying, he choked with sobs and asked me if Grandpa Huang didn't like the two brothers.
Husband!"
"Um?"
"Do you know how I, as a mother, feel when I see my child in such a sad state?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a complicated expression, raised his hand and pulled off half of his cloak, and then wrapped it all around Chen Jie's delicate body wearing only a thin and sexy garment.
"Jie'er, as a husband and a father, I can naturally understand your feelings."
"My children have been treated unfairly, and they have been treated unfairly more than once.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I went directly to find your eldest brother.
After I saw him, I told him in full what happened to Ye'er and Tao'er, two brothers, at their father's house.
At the beginning, I thought that after listening to my story, I would think of ways to help me!
No, it should be said that he will find a way to help his two sons!
But, husband, do you know how your elder brother answered me after listening to my confession?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head silently, and asked directly with a puzzled expression: "What? How did he answer you, brother?"
No anti-theft
Chen Jie sighed softly, with a trace of vague memories in her beautiful eyes.
"At that time, your eldest brother directly told me that as a woman, I only need to manage the affairs at home.
As for other things, don't ask too much.
Then, he left to his own devices to help his father review the memorial documents.
Seeing this situation, I had no choice but to leave his study in despair.
Later, when two brothers, Ye'er and Tao'er, once again told Concubine and Sister Shu'er about the unfair treatment they received in the palace.
My sisters could only smile bitterly at themselves, speechless."
Liu Mingzhi looked back at He Shu, who was huddled in the brocade quilt and still asleep, and nodded with a clear expression.
"Then what?"
Chen Jie followed Young Master Liu's gaze and also looked back at her sleeping sister.
