When King Cheng heard this, he was immediately speechless: "Isn't it difficult to find a husband who is more outstanding than the eighth sister?"
"Isn't that true? Everyone knows that the eighth sister got married with the help of Concubine Wen, and she married her childhood sweetheart's cousin. Where can I find a better marriage than this?"
Prince Xiang sneered and said: "It's just that you also know that my mother-in-law had a grudge with Concubine Wen in the early years. She wanted to suppress her. It was just trivial matters in the harem. Even the marriage of the girls here refused to compromise.
, we have to argue."
King Cheng was speechless for a moment.
He is also the son of a noble concubine in the palace. His biological mother is Concubine De. He grew up in the palace since childhood, so he naturally knows Concubine Shu's character.
Concubine Shu was not of high birth, but she was beautiful and had a strong personality, and she refused to lag behind others.
King Cheng once heard Concubine De Gui say.
When the late empress was still alive, she had only one prince, and her relationship with Emperor Zhaoming was harmonious.
Concubine Shu won the Sacred Heart with a dance and gave birth to the first concubine prince, who is now King Xiang.
Since Prince Xiang and the Crown Prince were only a few years apart in age, Concubine Shu inevitably had high hopes for him. She had disciplined him harshly since he was a child, hoping that he would be better than the Crown Prince and gain the attention of Emperor Zhaoming.
But, after all, the prince is the legitimate son and the eldest son of the emperor.
Emperor Zhaoming treated him completely differently from other princes, and would never allow anyone to shake the prince's status.
Concubine Shu did not believe in this evil, so she repeatedly forced Prince Xiang and did a lot of tricks behind his back.
Seeing that she had given birth to three children, Emperor Zhaoming did not pursue her further, but treated her more and more coldly.
Later, the first queen gave birth to her second legitimate son, King Yi.
Due to her old age and childbirth, her body was damaged, and she finally died of the illness after spending several years in bed.
Over the years, Emperor Zhaoming never established a successor.
There are only two noble concubines, Shu and De, in the palace, who jointly manage the Sixth Palace.
Concubine De Gui had a kind-hearted character and had only one son, King Cheng, and never forced him to enter the court to seize power.
Concubine Shu, on the other hand, was just the opposite and never gave up her ambition.
The prince's position in the court was stable, and he was assisted by King Yi in terms of military power. She could not do anything big, so she could only fiddle with small things. Over the years, she had encouraged King Xiang openly and covertly, using both soft and hard tactics, hoping for him.
Can go further.
It's a pity that although Prince Xiang is her biological son, he doesn't have the same heart as her.
He can carry it much better than his mother and concubine.
The prince was not an incompetent person. Emperor Zhaoming also valued his legitimate son. Most of the courtiers in the court were convinced of Donggong. The remaining half did not dare to disobey the prince because of the power of King Yi.
This is called the general trend!
Prince Xiang knew very well that if he just kept his head down and kept his head down, he could still live a good life.
If he really goes against the prince as his mother and concubine instigated, I'm afraid his father will be the first to not spare him.
King Cheng looked at him with sympathy: "Second brother, you are really miserable too!"
There were so many concubines in the harem who could live peacefully, but he had to deal with such a mother-in-law.
Being sandwiched between the two direct brothers, the position was awkward enough, and with the ambitious but not smart Concubine Shu holding her back, everyone inside and outside the palace stared at King Xiang intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to see what he had in store.
No ambition.
Will he be like his mother, Concubine Shu?
King Xiang knocked King Cheng on the head and said angrily: "You brat, no matter how miserable I am, your second brother, it's not your turn to pity me, right?"
King Cheng hid aside: "That's not what I meant..."
Prince Xiang snorted, folded his hands behind his head, and said lazily: "Who made her my mother-in-law? Anyway, as long as she is here, those interested people will inevitably stare at me. If I make more progress,
They will be even more crazy!" Hot "" This chapter has been completed!
