"Don't be deceived by his false benevolence and righteousness. He is just a jealous wolf. I'll raise him in vain." Concubine Shu retorted loudly. If Zhao Yu hadn't come like this, how would the emperor treat her like this? "How can you let your two sisters rest in his hands? If the mother begs you, you are their brother. You have the responsibility and obligation to take care of them. The mother only sees you all well, even if she dies..." At the end, she burst into tears with emotion.

The 11th prince rarely sees his mother's side, and now he can't help but feel mixed feelings, so he has to support his mother and say, "Mother, Brother Jiu is really not what you think. You have taught us to love each other since you were a child. Why are we provoking our feelings now?"

Concubine Shu hated her for maintaining her image in the past, and wanted people to say that she was good at raising her children. Parents and adopted children were like family. At that time, she had to rely on fame to compete for favor and let the emperor see her virtuous side. But now, she realized that she had been fooled by her son, how could she trust others so easily?

No wonder Zhao Yu brought her two daughters out of the palace, but left this stupid son to disgust him, because he had never left his ninth brother. In his mind, his ninth brother was even more close than his biological mother. Just thinking about this, Concubine Shu's expression was even more ugly than eating shit.

"Why did you believe him? He kept resentful of me and made him fuck..."

The eleventh prince did not hear his mother's muttering clearly, so he asked, "Mother, what did you say just now?"

Concubine Shu suddenly woke up. Now, how could she explain the hatred between her and Zhao Yu to her son to her son? It would involve Zhao Yu's biological mother, Concubine Rou. The role she played was extremely disgraceful. No mother would let her son know her ugly side. "Nothing..."

The eleventh prince did not ask. Seeing that his mother was thinking about whether she was still alive, he said, "Mother, let's explain the matter clearly with the ninth brother and sister-in-law. You are just fooled by Madam Dou, not intentionally trying to harm Brother Ninth brother's descendants. After all, you don't have this motivation..."

He couldn't figure out why his mother wanted to harm Zhao Yu's children. For the sake of the throne, she should also harm the prince's descendants. Besides, he ranks so low that no brother in front is more capable than him? He has never had the chance to fight for the throne in his life, so why should he wade into the muddy waters?

Shufei listened to the innocent theory of her innocent son, and this time she didn't want to say a word, because some secret ideas could not be expressed. She just wanted to get a chance, but unfortunately, she failed in the end.

As for whether to regret it later?

That must be regretful. She was too hasty, otherwise she would not have been trapped in this quagmire.

"You go back." She drove away the innocent son in dismay.

The eleventh prince looked at his mother with great concern, but in the end he did not debate with her again, but walked back and forth.

In the following days, Concubine Shu was tortured and couldn't sleep at night. She always dreamed that her two daughters were killed by Zhao Yu. Even her real son was worried that Zhao Yu would not let him go. Under this mental torture, under this mental torture, she grew old quickly.

If having a nightmare can comfort yourself, it is just a dream. But when she heard the gossip about her little daughter being sick, she felt like she was struck by lightning, and she only thought of that cliché in her heart, what should come will come after all.

"Princess Yuhua is so sick?"

"The imperial physician who treated her said this. Could it be that there is still a falsehood? If it is not good for spring next year, it is likely to die."

"Don't say that, after all, it's a princess, it's a death--if it's heard?"

"Tsk, who am I afraid of hearing this? You haven't seen Concubine Shu behave like that, and there is still a possibility of re-possessing? Concubine Xia is young and beautiful. His Majesty has long thrown her, this old woman to Java. Can you still think of her?"

"Although it's a fact, at least you can leave some verbal ethics..."

"If I don't say it, no one will talk about her?"

Another person could not say it, so he simply stopped talking, but the palace maid who was not virtuous was still nagging and talking about Concubine Shu.

Shufei was so angry that she trembled all over. She knew that the palace had always been swaying high and low. Now that she had lost power, she had to be discussed behind her back. But when she heard it with her own ears, she still couldn't help but rush forward and slapped the two sluts in the face to relieve her anger.

But in the end, she suppressed her impulse. She snatched the palm of her other hand with one hand, and didn't care even if it was bleeding, otherwise she would be afraid that she would make bad things. After all, she could only know the latest news by eavesdropping this way.

For several days in a row, these two little palace maids hid here and talked about right and wrong. In just a few words, they would mention Concubine Shu’s two daughters. They were the younger daughter Princess Yuhua who was sick before, but now they said that Princess Yurong accidentally fell off the rockery and broke her leg.

"Then Doctor Xu said that if it's a bad thing, Princess Yurong will become a cripple. Do you think she will still get the prince consort after she becomes a cripple?"

"How can the emperor's daughter not worry about marrying, so how can she not recruit a son-in-law? But it is hard to say what kind of son-in-law you can recruit. The son-in-law of a wealthy family or the son-in-law of a peddler are all son-in-laws."

"You are so bad, you actually curse the princess like this..."

"Bah, she is just better than us, but looking at this, she probably has the blessing to come to an end."

"Are you still tired of her biological mother? Otherwise, you will still live a good life in the palace. I heard that the eleventh prince was scolded by His Majesty today, and even got furious..."

"Oh, it's really time and fate. Forget it, we pity them, who will pity us again?"

“…”

When Shufei heard this, she didn't have the time to listen to other gossips? Her mind was full of scenes of her good daughter either dead or becoming a cripple, and her son was pitiful and looked like she was excluded and shrunk. As long as she thought about it once, her heart would hurt once.

Zhao Yu's move is too cruel.

After listening to the corner of the wall for so many days, what else can she not understand? This was done by Zhao Yu intentionally, with the purpose of telling her that she wanted to tell her that she wanted to tell her the truth, because she was a mother.

She returned to her cold residence in a daze. It used to be as warm as spring. Now she has fallen out of favor, and the servants in the palace have begun to neglect her. Now she sees that she is not here, and she doesn't even burn charcoal.

She angrily shouted for someone to come to serve, but no one responded when she shouted loudly. It seemed that she was the only one left in the huge Ganquan Palace.

She leaned weakly against the palace wall, but she heard the sound of palace music in her ears. Then she saw that the festive red lanterns were hung in the palace at some point. It turned out that the New Year was about to be celebrated again.

She stared at the place where the banquet was held, and her eyes couldn't help but feel excited.

Other people's excitement is in sharp contrast with her desertedness.

Rong Jingqiu had not yet finished her confinement period, so she did not attend the palace banquet. As for Zhao Yu, she still had to go to the palace banquet to order a Mao family banquet, while she set up a small family banquet in the mansion, and she had a lively meal for her own people.

Princess Yurong accidentally stepped on the rockery and fell into the fish pond below. Fortunately, she sprained her ankle. After Doctor Xu rectified the bone, she told her to move less, so she obediently followed the doctor's instructions and didn't go anywhere.

Princess Yuhua just had a little cough and she recovered quickly after taking the medicine. However, in order to accompany her own sister, she also obediently celebrated the festival in the Jiuwang Mansion.

She happened to call these two sisters-in-law to have a meal together.

Princess Yurong was a little more reserved. Princess Yuhua reacted half a beat slower, but they were not difficult people. As soon as they arrived, they watched the little baby constantly, and even picked up the drum beside her and started to tease her.

“Yes, look here…”

The little doll named Zhao Youyou immediately looked over in the voice, then grinned, looking very cute.

Princess Yurong liked it very much immediately. If she hadn't been afraid that she would not be able to hold this little baby, she would really want to pick it up and kiss it.

While Rong Jingqiu asked the maid to prepare the food, she went to rescue her son, so as to avoid being ruined by her two aunts. After all, this little guy has a very good temper and doesn't cry if he holds him. He will hum a few times when he is hungry or wants to pull him. As long as he is done for him, he will calm down again. In short, raising this child is particularly easy to deal with.

When Zhao Youyou came to his mother's arms, he smelled the familiar smell and immediately lay obediently in his mother's arms, but his eyes were still looking around, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Rong Jingqiu gently caressed her son's soft fetal hair, and there was infinite love in her eyes.

Although he was named Zhao Wei, at Princess Qinglan's strong request, Zhao Wei still had a nickname called Youyou, which had all the meanings. Rong Jingqiu thought the meaning was pretty good, so she agreed to call it this nickname.

"Let's just have a few sisters-in-law to celebrate the festival today. Don't dislike me, two sisters."

Princess Yurong hurriedly said, "You are polite sister-in-law. We were bothering us." She felt very guilty now. After all, she didn't know how to deal with Sister-in-law Jiu. Fortunately, Sister-in-law didn't care and was still intimate with them as always. Only then did she let go of her worries.

Princess Yuhua didn't talk much, but she rushed forward and hugged Rong Jingqiu's arm, and smiled affectionately at her.

Rong Jingqiu held the child and could only respond to Princess Yuhua's closeness with her eyes. It would be great if they were not Shufei's children, so that they could get along more freely and calmly.

The atmosphere of this small family dinner has always been good. Rong Jingqiu ordered Lin An to take them back to the living yard in person, and then he relaxed and told someone to cook sobering soup and wait for Zhao Yu to come back to make a bowl of it.

It was only when she got asleep, but then when Zhao Yu came back.

"Why are you so late?" She yawned and went forward to greet Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu took off the cloak on his body and signaled Rong Jingqiu not to get close to him for the first time, for fear that the moisture on his body would be bad if it passed on her body. After all, she was still in the confinement period, and now she was taking care of the children herself, so he was even more careless.

Rong Jingqiu hurriedly stood ten feet away from him. Seeing Feng Debao put on dry clothes, she sat aside with confidence, "Why did my family dinner last so late today?"

Zhao Yu buttoned the collar himself, and when he saw that he had put it on, he asked Feng Debao to retreat, "It's cold, so hurry up and change your clothes."

Feng Debao knew that the master was polite to him, so he quickly bowed and left. Of course, he still did not forget to bow to Rong Jingqiu.

Rong Jingqiu has lost her hostility towards Feng Debao now, and then said, "There are still food and drinks for Eunuch Feng under the kitchen, and she has been warming on the stove. I will let Xiao Douzi take it back later. You two will have a good time."

"I thanked the princess." Feng Debao hurriedly smiled and called another thousand.

His relationship with Xiao Douzi is as close as a father and son. It is also very meaningful to stay up with his godson who inherits his mantle in the future.

Zhao Yu just glanced at him without saying a word. He was not thinking about it now. Seeing Rong Jingqiu bringing sober soup to him, he took a sip and drank it, and then said, "Concubine Shu threw a big firecracker at the family banquet today, which was very loud."

Rong Jingqiu suddenly became interested, "What do you say?"

Zhao Yu only realized that he had not seen his fat son at this moment, so he asked his son again, "Where is Zhao Youyou?"

"I'm asleep." Rong Jingqiu didn't want to discuss her son now, she just wanted to know what Concubine Shu said? "Tell me quickly, what did Concubine Shu say?"

If Concubine Shu didn't get into the trap, their efforts would be wasted.

"What are you anxious about?" Zhao Yu became leisurely. In his opinion, his wife's worries were unnecessary. Concubine Shu was always on guard against him, or the sequelae of improper superiority. Concubine Shu was always worried about him.

Rong Jingqiu hit Zhao Yu lightly, but Zhao Yu grabbed his wrist and dragged it into his arms. In this cold weather, it was most comfortable to hold his lover.

His head was placed on her shoulders, and under Rong Jingqiu's urging gaze, he spoke up in a casual manner.

When Concubine Shu broke into the palace where the family banquet was held, she was shocked. After all, there were few concubines in such occasions, let alone a concubine like Concubine Shu who was out of favor?

The queen did not attend this year, and it was Concubine Xia who was in the limelight. So when everyone watched the show, they began to complain in their hearts.

The prince was in a bad condition, and the princess Xiao Ling didn't even care about the emperor's grandson. He traveled all over the world. When the couple saw Concubine Shu breaking in, they looked at her.

The eleventh prince stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically and wanted to take his mother away, but Zhao Yu held his hands tightly. When he looked at Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu shook his head at him and signaled him not to be impulsive.

In the end, the eleventh prince could only bit his lips and sat back on his original position. Fortunately, the ninth brother protected him, so the other brothers did not take the opportunity to step on him.

Concubine Shu glanced at her son, and then saw Zhao Yu again. Her expression tightened. Finally, she forced herself to look away. She straightened her back and walked towards the emperor with calm steps. This man she had tried her best to seduce, now it seemed like a piece of rotten meat.

She remembered what Concubine Rou said back then, "He chose a good husband for you in the Japanese Palace, and he will be kind to you all his life, otherwise I will not be able to spare him..."

She scoffed at the time, feeling that she looked down on herself, but now when she thinks about this, her nose is sore. How great would it be if she could turn back in life.

"Your Majesty, I am the leader..."
