"The one who regrets it must be Concubine Hui." Noble Jue Chan smiled coldly, his ruthlessness towards his own son was so heartbreaking.
She was used to the eighth prince's incident over and over again. She was used to the ridicule and ridicule from others, and she was also used to Empress De Fei caring for her sincerely. And what she said to Xiang He also came from the bottom of her heart.
, Yinsu is the flesh that fell from her body. Although she does not love or even care about her, she will not harm her own child.
Lan Qi looked at her helplessly. In her heart, she always felt that others had helped her and she should give something back. She didn't feel that everything in the past was a good thing for Jue Chan. In her eyes, for everything she got,
, are full of gratitude.
Lan Qi sighed: "I always can't bear it. How pitiful is the child? If you change your mind one day, I will definitely help you."
Jue Chan thanked her gratefully, and then said sternly: "When the Empress Dowager placed Bao Yun in Changchun Palace, she obviously wanted to frighten Concubine Hui. Obviously Concubine Hui has lost her heart in front of the superiors. I thought that Hui
The reason why the concubine can still be ranked as the fourth concubine without being really punished must be because of the eldest brother, so it is conceivable that as long as the emperor remembers the father-son love for the eldest brother, the Changchun Palace will exist stably for a day."
A chill flashed across Lan Qi's face, she frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I understand."
Jue Chan continued: "I think that even if the Mingzhu sect is not destroyed, it will not be able to achieve success because of the internal strength and external strength. Concubine Hui will not be as capable as before in all aspects of the palace. She will seize the tenderness on the dragon bed."
She has lost her qualifications a long time ago, and the light on the dragon throne, she must be thinking, will never be as aggressive as before."
Lan Qi understood the meaning of Jue Chan's words, and hatred aroused on her lips: "If she can't fight for the eldest brother from the front, she might go further and further down the wrong road and clear the obstacles for the eldest brother.
It’s also a fight.”
"Your Majesty is right." Mrs. Juechan looked nervous and reminded her cautiously, "My Majesty must be even more careful in the future. Who knows what else she will do."
Lan Qi sighed: "The rules in my Yonghe Palace are very strict about the food and daily life of the princesses. Poisoning will not hurt me. Without my sixth brother, I can't let the children suffer the same harm. But
As you said, a dog jumps over the wall when it gets angry. If one day it comes with open arms and swords, I won't be able to guard against it. I hope she won't go crazy."
"Besides Changchun Palace, there is also Yuqing Palace." Jue Chan's voice was much softer than before. Sure enough, the prince was a taboo in this palace, and even she knew not to say it openly, "The Mingzhu sect can't achieve great things.
But that side is getting stronger day by day, and the outstanding brothers will be a thorn in their side, so the empress must be careful as well."
"I understand." Lan Qi responded, looking at Jue Chan attentively, and sighed, "If you fight for yourself, what will happen now?"
But Mrs. Juechan laughed: "If you are fighting for yourself, I'm afraid you will be confused. Only because you are a bystander and stay out of the matter, can you give the empress some calm suggestions. The empress is wise and understanding, and there is no need for me to talk too much. I just want to give you some advice."
Thoughts."
Think about it, more than ten years ago, when Jue Chan, who was still a palace maid, followed the nun from the sewing room to the Zhongcui Palace to have Wu Chang Zai tailor a dress. She stood outside the door. Because Chang Zai saw the injury on her face, he kindly cared about her and gave her some clothes.
The ointment healed the wound; later Wu Changzai came to the sewing room and met the maid of Concubine Tong who beat her. Changzai did not hesitate to make a grudge with Chengqian Palace and rescued her from the cruel maid. But later she became an official.
The woman became Chang Zai, but the two almost turned against each other because of Nalan Rongruo, and they went back and forth for more than ten years. Who would have thought that today, they would be sitting and talking like sisters loving each other. The encounter between people is such a wonderful fate.
Indescribable.
At the same time, in the study, the fourth and eighth brothers were sitting in the corridor outside the classroom and resting. The other brothers were being served by young eunuchs, either washing their hands and having snacks, or taking a walk outside to relax. But seeing the little eunuchs waiting on them,
Hezi ran back from outside. He had just returned to Chengqian Palace. At this moment, he happily said that the imperial concubine was in good spirits and was having tea and snacks with the concubine Tong. He also gave him a piece of walnut cake to eat.
The fourth elder brother himself didn't care. He turned around and asked Yinhu if he was hungry. Yinhu shook his head, while Xiao Hezi said garrulously: "Eighth elder brother, why don't you see people from Changchun Palace waiting for you?" As a result, the fourth elder brother glared at him.
Xiao Hezi went down in despair, but Yinzhen still asked his brother: "Is Empress Hui sick and they are too busy?"
Yinsu shook his head, and the little guy looked around smartly, and then said to his brother: "It's not Baoyun who is waiting for me now. The new Yanzhu is very annoying and doesn't respect me very much. I don't have to ask her to respect me.
But she is very bullying. Most of the people in Changchun Palace were taught by Bao Yun in the past, and she always bullies them, including those around me. She has hired new people to serve me. I don't like it and don't want them to follow me.
"
"Is Bao Yun sick?" The fourth elder brother is still a child after all. He can't imagine the things that adults do, and the eighth elder brother doesn't understand. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened to them. When we came back from Changrui Mountain, Bao Yun disappeared.
Later I found out that she was sent to do menial work by her mother, and they didn’t tell me when I asked, so she probably made some mistake.”
Yinzhen said: "Have you asked Empress Hui? You are the emperor's elder brother. You cannot lose your dignity. There must always be people around you. If you don't like those people, you should tell Empress Hui."
"You can't tell E Niang." Brother Ba lowered his head and shook his head, feeling very depressed. "You can't cause trouble to E Niang. Nothing will work. She is not my mother. If I cause trouble to her, she will
It’s time to hate me.”
The fourth elder brother looked at his younger brother blankly, why had he never felt this way before? There was no barrier between him and E Niang. If there was something wrong, he would not show his feelings for his biological mother in front of E Niang. He
I simply think that these two things should be separated and not mixed together. As for my mother, I should be coquettish and coquettish when I should, and lose my temper when I should. I never thought that I would be disliked.
"It's not your place to say this." Yinzhen said with a straight face. In fact, he didn't know what was wrong with his brother. He felt a little sorry for him, but he couldn't explain it.
The eighth prince became optimistic again, raised his head and squinted his eyes with a smile: "Brother, I'm fine, don't worry."
Afterwards, he went to school and went to class, and spent the whole day together. Yinzhen didn't take it to heart, but when he returned to Changchun Palace, he had to face these realities again. Today there was another thing that frightened him as soon as he entered Changchun Palace.
It looked ordinary from the outside, but it was another world after entering. When the eighth brother saw Bao Yun kneeling in the garden, with gravel under his knees, the child was so frightened that he ran over to pull Bao Yun away.
Yunqi asked her anxiously: "Why do you have to kneel on the stone?"
The people inside heard the noise, and Yanzhu came out and saw that the eighth elder brother was back. He was so angry that he scolded the people around him: "You idiots, didn't I tell you to get her up before the eighth elder brother came back?" After saying that, he went up to Yinsu with a smile.
He said, "My eighth brother is back. Did you have a hard time in the study today? I have cooked lotus seed soup and it is warming it on the stove. You go and pay your respects to the queen, and wash your hands together."
Yinhu stared at her angrily and asked loudly: "Why do you punish Baoyun to kneel on a stone?"
Yanzhu sneered: "The rules in the palace are that if you do something wrong, you will be punished. I just act according to the rules. Ask Baoyun yourself, do you deserve the punishment?"
"Let her get up!" Brother Eight shouted at Yanzhu loudly, which startled Yanzhu and made him even more unconvinced.
Yan Zhu originally looked down on the eighth prince, a prince who was born from a lowly concubine, and considering his master's thoughts, he did not treat the eighth prince as his own son. He could not help but look down on others, and never took this child seriously.
"Eighth Brother, I don't dare to violate the rules of the palace. I'm sorry that I can't obey my order." Yan Zhupi leaned down with a smile. He looked respectful, but in fact he was intimidating. "Eighth Brother, please go and pay your respects to the empress first."
Well, if you yell like this, you will give me a headache."
"Go away!" Brother Ba suddenly kicked Yanzhu hard on the knee. The little guy had already started to learn archery and horseback riding. The force was not small, and the knee was a weak point. Yanzhu couldn't stand still due to the pain, and his whole body was broken.
He fell backwards. The maids and eunuchs around him were all frightened, and they quickly came to persuade him. After all, my brother was a prince, so he couldn't really neglect him.
The Eighth Prince was pushed into Concubine Hui's inner hall, and the injured Yanzhu was also brought in. The Concubine Hui sat cross-legged on the heated kang. After hearing these things, she hugged the Eighth Prince and said coldly to Yanzhu.
Said: "Let Bao Yun get up, then you go and kneel down."
Yanzhu's face was tense. Just as she was about to defend herself, she was frightened by her master's sharp eyes. She gritted her teeth and left. She was shouting and shouting outside as if to drive Bao Yun away. In the inner palace, a maid had already brought some hot drinks.
Concubine Hui personally took care of the eighth brother to wash his hands and gave him hot water to drink. The little guy quietly obeyed all the arrangements of Concubine Hui. Only when he stopped, did he whisper softly: "Mom, I shouldn't kick."
Yanzhu.”
"It's okay, they are slaves. It is a death penalty for a slave to be disrespectful to my elder brother. Punishing her to kneel with a stone is already a light punishment." Concubine Hui gently comforted the little one, but did not mention anything about Baoyun. She thought to herself, if Yinsu asked
, she had her own explanation, but if the child didn't mention it, she didn't have to rush to give him an explanation. After the mother and son sat for a while, the eighth prince said he wanted to go back to review his homework, and they left like that.
Coming out of Concubine Hui's bedroom, Yinzhu saw Yanzhu kneeling where Baoyun had been kneeling just now, with a look of resentment and misfortune, which made him feel disgusted. He turned around and walked towards his room, and asked who was following him.
The person behind him asked: “Where did Bao Yun go?”
The little eunuch said tremblingly: "Brother Eighth, please don't ask about Aunt Baoyun in the future, otherwise Aunt Yanzhu will punish the slaves."
The eighth prince stared at him and was speechless for a long time. His little heart was greatly hurt. In this Changchun Palace, Bao Yun was the only person he trusted.
The child's depressed and helpless mood continued until he went to the study room the next day. Even the third elder brother could see that his younger brother was unhappy. After class, he gathered around him and asked what was wrong. The little guy said nothing. Yinzhen looked on and then
I remembered what the two of them said when they were taking a break yesterday.
After school that day, the fourth elder brother saw that instead of being followed by just a little eunuch on weekdays, someone from Changchun Palace finally came to serve the eighth elder brother today, and even prepared a shoulder carriage for the eighth elder brother. However, Yinsu's face was pale, and his eyes were
There was even some resistance.
"Yinsu, my mother-in-law asked you to come over for dinner tonight." The fourth elder brother suddenly walked up to his younger brother and saw that he was in a stalemate with a group of servants. He took his hand and ordered those people, "Go back to Concubine Hui.
, Chengqian Palace will send Brother Eighth back at night."
