Because of these worries, Concubine Mi was so angry that she had trouble sleeping and eating, which was very uncomfortable. She got angry every day in Yonghe Palace.
Empress Lu knew all these things, but she didn't care and just laughed it off.
After all, Concubine Mi is the biological mother of the eldest prince. As long as she doesn't do anything too outrageous, no one will pay attention to her.
There is no need to do anything to her.
What the Empress and Empress Dowager Zhou are now focusing on is the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Yan who are living in seclusion in Beiyuan.
The second prince has been deposed as a commoner and will be imprisoned for life. Concubine Yan did not depose her because she had served the Supreme Emperor for many years. After all, it was meaningless to depose her. Not deposing her would make the new emperor's reputation better.
Why not?
Nowadays, Concubine Yan lives with the Supreme Emperor and is responsible for taking care of the Supreme Emperor. That is a good show every day.
After Empress Dowager Zhou came out of the Buddhist hall, she did not go to see the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Yan. It was enough to know that they were not living well and could not make any waves.
Since Concubine Yan has a deep relationship with the Supreme Emperor, she should continue to serve him. If she is not lucky enough to die after the Supreme Emperor, then she can go to guard the imperial mausoleum to atone for her sins! If she dies before the Supreme Emperor, she can be buried as she pleases. Rebellion
People like this are not worthy of entering the imperial mausoleum.
Naturally, Empress Dowager Zhou would not be soft-hearted towards Concubine Yan and her son who had persecuted her for many years.
On this day, the eldest prince had just walked around the capital with Zhou Hansheng, Zhao Liya and the others and returned to the palace. Not long after, someone came from Yonghe Palace and invited him to come and have dinner with them.
Mi Fei almost got really angry
Zhao Mansion, a group of uninvited guests also came today.
After all, it is rare to be the number one scholar, and it is even more rare to be the crown prince and tutor, a high-ranking official close to the emperor! The Zhao family can brag about it for hundreds of years.
Concubine Mi wanted to ask him to go there three times a day. Every time she went there, she kept saying those words. He didn't like hearing it, so when his father asked about it, he reported the truth to his father.
Queen Lu smiled lovingly and nodded happily.
Coupled with the relationship with the Duke Li Guo, Zhao Xiang suddenly became popular again.
The Zhao family did not expect that Zhao Xiang would turn around, nor did they expect that the prince would ascend the throne so quickly.
The eldest prince frowned subconsciously, but agreed to go.
Later, Concubine Mi became more restrained, and now she only dared to call him over once every three days.
Zhao Xiang didn't show anything, but Deng was upset for a long time.
The eldest prince did not expect that in Yonghe Palace, he would see Concubine Mi's niece, a cousin who was one year younger than himself.
This child's pain was not in vain.
The Zhao clan has always been proud of Zhao Xiang.
Although he is said to be a "guest", he is actually not exactly a guest, but a former tribesman.
If you don't commit suicide, you will probably die. I'm probably talking about people like Mi Fei.
You know, after Zhao Xiang became an official, he did a lot of things for the clan and helped the clan. Apart from politely declining some unreasonable requests, he really did his best to be benevolent and righteous.
The eldest prince was immediately disgusted. What on earth did his mother and concubine want to do?
The eldest prince didn't even eat dinner. After sitting for a while, he said that his father was looking for him and left in a hurry.
The eldest prince was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you so much, Queen Mother!"
When Zhao Xiang was exiled, the Zhao family thought they had been informed in advance by the second prince's mother and son, so they took the lead and expelled Zhao Xiang from the clan before the imperial decree for the exile of Zhao Xiang's family was issued.
Concubine Mi was so angry and resentful that she almost exploded in Yonghe Palace!
If her son doesn't agree with her, the queen will step on her whenever she can. Okay, okay, that's great! What did they teach her son like!
She, the biological mother, is so wronged!
Concubine Mi's niece was sent away in despair.
When Zhao Xiang was exiled, everyone in the Zhao clan was very happy. Some people who were usually envious of Zhao Xiang even took pleasure in his misfortune and made many sarcastic remarks.
The emperor's new dynasty has just been established, and the rules cannot be messed with. Everyone must abide by them. As the biological mother of the eldest prince, she should set an example.
Empress Lu was also very speechless. She comforted him with a smile and said, "Don't take these things too seriously. As long as you have the right mind in your heart, understand right and wrong, know what you should and cannot do, and know what is negotiable on any matter."
There must be no compromise on matters, and no one can do anything about it. However, I will talk about this matter."
Concubine Yan and her son did this, naturally to further attack Zhao Xiang, and they had no good intentions. The Zhao family did not care about family ties at all, and it really made Zhao Xiang and Deng family very sad at that time.
At that time, they were afraid of getting into trouble. When Zhao Xiang and his family left Beijing, no one came to see them off.
After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, Zhao Xiang's fortune was greatly improved and he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The new emperor gave him numerous rewards. I heard that the eldest prince also had an old relationship with their family and had a very close relationship.
Concubine Mi did not shrink back and started pretending to be sick again.
Last time he refused to go because he had something to do, but this time he couldn't shirk it anymore and had no choice but to go.
It's even better this time. The eldest prince has a lot of homework and his health was not very good before. He couldn't get over his illness, so he just sent a young eunuch to visit him every day. He didn't have to go at all. The emperor and the queen were worried about his health.
He was not allowed to go at all.
The Mi family was so frightened by the emperor's cryptic remarks that they withdrew all their thoughts.
The eldest prince is not her tool, he is the emperor's son!
The next day, the queen issued an oral order, saying that outsiders could not stay overnight in the palace, and ordered Concubine Mi to send her niece out. She also said that according to palace regulations, the fourth concubine's family could only have two female family members visit the palace once a month.
From now on, follow the rules and don't overstep them.
After the eldest prince left, Liu Yan, the eldest maid next to the queen, couldn't help but said: "The eldest prince is filial to the empress, but Concubine Mi is his biological mother after all. If the empress always does these things, Concubine Mi will probably think that the empress has bad intentions and will hate her.
My Majesty, it is rare for me to complain in front of the eldest prince. When the eldest prince grows up in the future, I hope that I can always understand your Majesty."
When I go out, I will complain to my mother.
The eldest prince is eleven years old this year, and he is no longer a child who knows nothing. When he saw his cousin, and saw the way his mother and concubine looked at him and his cousin, he understood everything instantly.
The queen smiled faintly: "I believe in the emperor, and I also believe in the eldest prince. This evil person is only suitable and in line with the rules for me to be the villain. Concubine Mi. If she doesn't know what is good, she will regret it sooner or later."
The Zhao family was panicked at first, fearing that Zhao Xiang would take revenge.
If Zhao Xiang retaliates against them now, they won't even have the slightest chance to resist.
After waiting and waiting for Zhao Xiang's revenge, they breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, they actually swelled.
They actually thought that Zhao Xiang must want to return to the clan, so they did not take revenge.
Thinking about it, even if he is so powerful now, so what? Only with a clan can you have roots!
In this case, they took the initiative to find Zhao Xiang, give him a step down, and let him return to the clan.
