It's not that Zhu Yunxi has forgotten his mother's appearance, it's that he has never seen her at all.
On November 29, Crown Princess Chang gave birth to him. In the same month, the Crown Princess died.
In other words, after he was born, his mother might have looked at him with nostalgia, affection and reluctance, but he had already lost his mother before he even opened his eyes.
Zhu Yunxi asked someone specifically to ask about the old stories circulating in the palace.
At that time, his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Biao's eldest son, was born with weak health. An imperial doctor even killed the whole family because of the angry old man who said that the child might not live to adulthood.
In order to propagate the prince's bloodline, Mrs. Chang knew that she was in poor health, and despite the imperial doctor's obstruction, she got pregnant with Zhu Yunxi.
She was only twenty-three years old when she passed away.
The last words she said, my son!
She gave Zhu Yunxi life with her life. Great woman, great maternal love.
Since childhood, Zhu Yunxi has been a child without a mother. Fortunately, he has a grandmother who regards him as a top-notch person.
I heard from the old people in the palace that when Empress Ma was alive, she wanted to have her eyes on him twelve hours a day. From the day he was born, Zhu Yunxi was held in Empress Ma's palace and raised by her herself.
However, when he was four years old, his beloved Queen Ma also passed away.
When she was dying, Empress Ma held the old man's hand. As a woman, I dare not say anything about the important matters of the throne. I only hope that Your Majesty, Brother Nianxi is your legitimate grandson, and you will be tolerant and loving, and treat him differently.
Without my mother, I have lost my grandma.
Zhu Yunxi, who was deep in the palace, had a noble status but no love.
In an instant, memories came one after another, fragmented and merged into a picture, playing in my mind like a movie. In my heart, a child's voice was crying, calling for mother and grandma.
Tears welled up in Zhu Yunxi's eyes.
He raised his head stubbornly, not letting tears fall.
Beside them, the Chang brothers were already sobbing. Chang Sen, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, suppressed the cry in his throat and was trembling all over.
My mother? Zhu Yunxi’s voice is a little hoarse. Does it look good?
Woo hoo, the Chang brothers couldn't bear it any longer, tears burst into their eyes, and they burst into tears.
Do you know why I want to pay homage? It will be my birthday in three days, and it will also be her death anniversary!
I'm getting married soon, and I want to tell her that her baby has grown up!
I heard from the old lady in the palace that my mother used to love sweet-scented osmanthus cake! I brought it to her!
I heard from the old nuns in the palace that my mother likes to wear cotton clothes, so I brought them for her too!
Brother Xi! Chang Sheng burst into tears, knelt down and hugged Zhu Yunxi's legs.
Huaiyuan Hou Changsen took two steps on his knees and grabbed the ground with his head.
In the palace... there were tears in Zhu Yunxi's eyes. He lowered his head and continued, "I have been looking for a long time, but I couldn't find her portrait. Does my uncle have one at home? If there is one, give me one and let me see it!"
The sadness in his heart came from the bottom of his heart. He didn't know why he missed his mother so much recently, and at the same time, in those fused memories, he also missed Mrs. Chang very much.
There was only one portrait of the late Crown Princess Chang in the palace. But before Zhu Biao left, he specifically requested that it be used as a funeral object for him.
Chang's vague face could only appear in Zhu Yunxi's dreams, appearing at the same time as his own mother.
There is a portrait of your mother when she was twelve years old at home. My eldest brother treats it like a treasure. I will find it when I get back and present it to His Highness! Chang Sheng cried.
The eldest brother he calls is Zhu Yunxi's uncle, Chang Mao. In his memory, every year on his birthday, his uncle would give him gifts in various ways. Unfortunately, he also passed away on the 24th of last year.
It was originally given to me. I need someone to copy a few more pictures and put them at home! Zhu Yunxi sighed.
Sir, thank you, Your Highness! Chang Sheng cried and kowtowed.
We have said that there are no outsiders, you and I, uncles and nephews, there is no need to be like this! Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and helped the two uncles sit down!
Afterwards, the Chang brothers sat down on the stools again, sobbing and wiping their tears.
The relationship between their brother and sister is very good. When Chang Yuchun joined the old man in Hezhou, it happened that both Lan and Queen Ma were pregnant. Chang Yuchun made a meritorious service in the first battle. The old man was overjoyed and joked with him that if their wives gave birth to a boy and a girl in the future.
, and they became children and in-laws.
Sure enough, Queen Ma gave birth to Zhu Biao, and Lan gave birth to Chang.
The Chang family has always treasured it since they were young. My father and brother kept it in their mouths for fear of melting, and put it in their palms for fear of dropping it.
Zhu Biao and Chang were childhood sweethearts.
Sister...if the empress is alive in heaven, she would be very happy to see His Highness being so pure and filial! Chang Sen said.
I would rather not be filial, but also want my mother to live! Zhu Yunxi looked outside the carriage, there was no cloud, the blue sky, and the filial piety behind him was actually for himself and for outsiders to see! He just let himself vent his emotions and let outsiders sigh.
The Chang brothers remained silent.
I still remember the day my father passed away! Zhu Yunxi continued to speak, and the concern in the eyes of the two uncles, as well as their inquiries! At that time, the Lu family was very powerful, and the two uncles would rather be annoyed by her than get close to their nephew!
Chang Sheng gritted her teeth. In her heart, she had long regarded the Chang family as a thorn in her flesh. She sneered twice as she spoke. Before the prince passed away, the ministers came to the palace to visit. Do you know what she said?
Oh? Zhu Yunxi said in a long voice, I really didn’t know about this!
Huh! Chang Sheng continued to sneer, and she said that after the death of the prince, she lost her backbone, and the prince’s children even more lost their backbone. Zhu Yunwen was the eldest son of the prince, and although they were not related by blood, the two ministers were also his uncles!
They are orphaned and widowed, and they will never forget the Chang family and so on in the future.
Ha! Zhu Yunxi laughed, she is very calculating!
That woman is indeed not simple. Family ties in the Tian family are all subordinated to interests. If the Chang family brothers were really the kind of people who were motivated by interests, they would really be able to stand with her and Zhu Yunwen.
Dreaming of her eternal dream! Chang Sen said angrily, if the prince is gone, our Chang family will naturally look after and support her son, but that person can only be you, Your Highness. Prince Huai? Who is he? Even if the Chang family is ruined, it will be ruined.
, and don’t want to recognize this cheap relative!
Yes, their hearts have never stood with Zhu Yunwen of the Lu family. This is also the reason why the old man used the Lan Yu case to defeat the Chang family in the original time and space.
In fact, he is also considered your nephew! His mother is the concubine, and Prince Huai is also his son! Zhu Yunxi said lightly.
Your Highness is unaware of something! Chang Sen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chang Sheng.
Tell me! Zhu Yunxi said, Third uncle, if there is anything I don’t know, just tell me!
Why are you pulling me? Chang Sen muttered to his brother, before we didn’t dare to say that Lu was alive for fear of getting involved and harming His Highness, but now that she is dead, we are not allowed to say anything!
How presumptuous! Chang Sheng said angrily, using vulgar words in front of His Highness?
No problem! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, Third uncle is quick to speak, just say it directly!
Chang Sen first confessed, and then said that the Lu family was originally a descendant of Lu Wenhuan!
So there is this layer? Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised.
Lu Wenhuan was a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was later demoted to the Yuan Dynasty. He was a very complicated historical figure that is difficult to comment on. From the perspective of ordinary people, Lu Wenhuan had his own reasons for demoting the Yuan Dynasty. But from the perspective of a king, this was a matter of great right and wrong.
Lu Wenhuan demoted the Yuan Dynasty and killed many people in the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, the Lu family were all dignitaries. When the dynasty rose, the Lu family took the initiative to demote the emperor. The emperor originally did not like his family, but in order to appease his family, he demoted the official
, gave Lu’s father a small official position!
Chang Sen went on to say, later, Mrs. Lu entered the East Palace. At first, the prince did not like her because of Lu Wenhuan’s story and did not allow her to get close to her at all. It was your mother who felt compassion and took Mrs. Lu with her. Later, your mother
, and also asked her to sleep with the prince, so that she could gain a foothold in the East Palace!
But who knew that your mother had a white-eyed wolf! That woman is the best at pretending to be virtuous and pitiful. Your Highness also knows how much she has been wary of you over the years! You said that Prince Huai is also a nephew of the Chang family, but she treats you like this
He is a legitimate son, but he has never been a son! On the contrary, he wishes that you...
I know! Zhu Yunxi said lightly, but it is all in the past. God has eyes, and she will end up in vain!
With that said, Zhu Yunxi looked at his two uncles. Please don't say these words to outsiders in the future!
I understand! Chang Shengdao, I wait for death in my heart!
There's something I'm very curious about! Zhu Yunxi continued to ask with a smile in his eyes.
Your Highness, please speak!
That day, my father passed away, and I was an inconspicuous and worthless grandson! Zhu Yunxi said leisurely, the emperor had the intention to make his father's son his heir, but I was naughty at that time and could not get into the eyes of his old man. If he had appointed King Huai at that time, you should
How about it? I'm talking about you, in addition to your two uncles, there are also Duke Liang and others!
Chang Sheng thought for a while and said, I dare not violate the emperor's order. But if that is the case, the worst thing I can do is resign and become a wealthy and idle person!
Anyway, I am not of the same mind as you! Chang Sen added.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and suddenly lowered his voice. If he was alone, he would not be the crown prince at that time, but he was secretly planning. The two uncles and Duke Liang...?
Hehe! Chang Sen grinned and said without hesitation, His Highness really has that intention. We will risk our lives and sing a good show with His Highness!
Although Chang Sheng said nothing, his eyes said everything.
After a while, Chang Sheng said that the Duke of Liang and his ministers had a private discussion that day. If His Majesty chooses the crown prince among the princes and other princes, the ministers and ministers will definitely support His Highness, even if...
This is also the reason why I have defended Lan Yu many times! Zhu Yunxi said softly.
Then, he smiled, "Uncle, I will hold a banquet in the East Palace in a few days, and all the cousins from my uncle's family will come together." He said, changing the title, "Gu, I have grace for them!"
