Not long after, the palace maid led the young man with a dignified manner and a handsome face into the door. Concubine Hui immediately smiled.
The eighth elder brother is about fourteen or fifteen years old. Boys from other families have not yet grown up at this age, but they are eager to pretend to be adults, but they are still full of childishness. In Huifei's view, he is her eldest elder brother.
I wasn't very popular back then.
But the eighth elder brother is different. Following his biological mother's cold and beautiful face, the young man's eyebrows are clean, his skin is white but not miserable, his body is thin but not weak, and he is already polite and upright at a young age.
Every time Concubine Hui saw the child, she felt regretful that it had not crawled out of her own belly, and she was secretly glad that his biological mother had a low status.
"Greetings to E Niang, I wish you good luck." The Eighth Prince stepped forward to salute. After the ceremony, he raised his head with a gentle and respectful smile.
"Are you hungry? Come sit down and have a meal. The emperor gave you two plates of food today. You must have been praised for your hard work in the study, and my mother-in-law has also benefited from it." Concubine Hui said, inviting the children to eat, and ordered the palace maid to serve them.
He serves soup.
"Mother, use it first." The eighth prince didn't dare to pick up the chopsticks.
"Okay, Niang, use it first." Concubine Hui had a loving look on her face, picked up a piece of shrimp and chewed it slowly, then urged the eighth prince to use the chopsticks, looking at the child in a very happy mood.
The eighth prince behaved himself and even chewed the crispy vegetables without making much noise. Even when Concubine Hui served him some vegetables, he would thank her repeatedly.
When the food was almost used up, the palace maids quickly removed it, and finally a sweet dish was served. Concubine Hui smiled and said: "I tasted good during the day, and I will send some to Yanxi Palace tomorrow. Lord Jue Chan seems to be very good."
like."
"Yes, my son should try it too." Yinhu did not thank his mother. He guessed that Concubine Hui would not like to hear such words, so he just bowed his head and ate obediently.
"I asked the Queen Mother, Concubine Tong and Concubine Rong, but I don't know which girl Huang Ama is interested in." Concubine Hui gently pushed the bowl of sweets in front of her to her adopted son, "
Yinsu, if you have any thoughts in your heart, you can tell me and tell your emperor."
Yinhu put down his spoon and then spoke: "I don't dare to have any thoughts, I will let Huang Ama and E Niang make the decision."
Concubine Hui couldn't help frowning: "The emperor always praises you for your good homework, which is better than the others above. He likes you so much. It won't hinder you to act coquettishly and ask about your own affairs occasionally."
Yinhu said: "The Emperor Ama takes care of many things day by day, and the children and ministers only study and write. The rest of the daily life is taken care of by E Niang, and there are palace servants to serve. There is really nothing more to ask of the Emperor Ama."
Concubine Hui gently wiped the corners of her mouth with the handkerchief, folded it up carefully, glanced at the eighth elder brother deliberately, and said: "You are a good boy, E Niang knows it, but outsiders don't think so, they will only say that E Niang favors one over the other.
I only care about your eldest brother and don’t bother with your affairs.”
Yinzhu stood up quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "It's my fault, I made E Niang in trouble."
Concubine Hui looked at the child on the ground and felt very impatient. The reason why she adopted this child was because she knew that she would no longer be favored by the emperor. Having an elder brother made her very uneasy, so she decided to adopt a prince to raise her.
.
At that time, Jue Chan was following the late Concubine Wen Xi. The concubine had a perverse temperament. She lost her temper whenever she heard the cry of the Eighth Elder Brother before the Tenth Elder Brother. One day, she even kicked the mother and son out of Xianfu.
In the palace, Concubine Hui took advantage of the opportunity to raise the child to her knees, which was regarded as solving a troublesome matter for the emperor at that time.
But since Mingzhu was suppressed a few years ago, Concubine Hui's biggest support has become precarious. In addition, the princes in the palace were born and grew up one after another, and she has been unpopular with the emperor for eight hundred years. In her eyes, the eighth prince is just...
It is becoming a burden day by day.
However, this burden was so outstanding that no matter when giving lectures in the study or at state banquets and family banquets, the emperor would praise him when he mentioned the eighth prince. Although Concubine Hui was somewhat more decent because of this, this son was not hers. The eldest prince was not hers.
It is her life and foundation.
The four concubines today are all the first women to be with the emperor. In terms of family background, Concubine Hui was originally the first of the four concubines, but of the other three, Concubine Rong was the woman who gave birth to the emperor's first child, and she was the oldest.
He has two sons and a daughter, Princess Rongxian has just been married to the court, and the emperor's affection for Jingyang Palace has already surpassed the love between a man and a woman.
Furthermore, Concubine Yi was able to give birth to three sons for the emperor in one breath. There is no need to go into details about her past favor. However, she was a bit unruly and willful when she was young. Now that she is a mother-in-law, she still goes her own way, but the emperor never cares about her blushing.
, he would even go to Yikun Palace to make her happy.
What Concubine Hui hates the most is Concubine De of Yonghe Palace. She has taken all the blessings in the world from the Wu Ya family. I don’t know why she hooked the emperor and can still take her alone to live in Changchun Garden.
In the last month or two, among the four concubines, she was obviously the latest to be promoted and had the lowest family background, but now she has become the person in charge of the family. The Queen Mother and the Emperor consult Concubine De on everything.
Looking at myself again, the dignity of the biological mother of the eldest son of Emperor Xuzhi, and the brilliance of her family background are among the best in this palace. But in the blink of an eye, for more than twenty years, her Changchun Palace had an eighth prince who went to school every day and came back from school every day.
, the courtyard is really deserted, and it doesn’t look like anyone is living there.
"Get up, good boy, I'm just telling you that the difficulties are others' gossip and have nothing to do with you." Concubine Hui calmed down and ordered the maid to help Eighth Prince stand up. After he sat down, she continued.
, "No matter whose beautiful daughter the emperor chooses, I will treat her well and teach her so that she can become your good wife so that you will not have any worries in the court."
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
"I see that the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother are already helping the emperor with errands. You will soon be like your elder brothers. When the time comes, the eldest emperor brother will also take care of you. You just follow the eldest emperor brother."
"Yes, I will listen carefully to the teachings of the eldest brother."
Concubine Hui's anger burned into her heart inch by inch. She seemed to be a mindless wooden person in front of her. She talked for a long time without saying a single useful word. She looked submissive and obedient, but she could sense that this child was rebellious and rebellious against her in his bones and blood.
.
"That's good..." But she still suppressed her anger and said lovingly, "If you brothers are harmonious and can support each other, I will feel relieved."
The eighth prince responded one by one and obeyed everything Hui Fei said. He even ate the bowl of sweets that Hui Fei pushed to him, which made his stomach full at night and made him restless.
So when he went to the study the next day, Yinsu was so depressed that he felt so sick in his stomach that he couldn't even drink a sip of tea. But as soon as he entered the study, he saw Thirteen and Fourteen quarreling.
Just because Shi Shi took a fancy to his brother's sachet, which was sewn by Concubine De for Shi San, and Yinxiang would not give way to his younger brother in order to please his adoptive mother. He protected his sachet and said: "You steal it from me again."
Yes, I will tell Er Niang to beat you."
At the age of fourteen, he gave up. He coaxed his brother not to be angry with a playful smile, and the two brothers turned around and made peace.
These are brothers, and Yinsu is extremely envious. This chapter has been completed!
