Chapter 953： comfort

Concubine Zhao Shu was only promoted during the Chinese New Year, or because of the old sayings of the courtiers that Qi Xiuyuan asked Qi Xiuyuan to take more concubines. Qi Xiuyuan thought of the concubine Shu who was named because of her merit in giving birth to the prince. Now the four concubines only have two, except for Concubine Duan Xian, Princess of Dali, is her.

And the Xu family and Shi family, who also gave birth to a prince, were promoted from nobles to concubines.

It's only been more than two months now, Zhao Concubine has been beaten back to her original form and changed back to Concubine again. She made a mistake and returned with a lower status than Xu Concubine and Shi Concubine.

This is the first time that Qi Xiuyuan has dealt with a concubine since he ascended the throne. It not only shocked the harem, but also shocked the previous court, and they all inquired about what happened.

The news of the palace is very difficult to inquire, but this time Qi Xiuyuan did not stop the news from spreading, he personally went to see the concubine Zhao who was reprimanded, and said angrily: "The second prince was born to you, but his mother is the queen, I don't care. Love your mother and son, but don't even think about alienating our father, son and brother! If you tell me again that you alienate the crown prince and the second prince, I will never forgive you."

Qi Xiuyuan sneered at the pale-faced Zhao Concubine, "The second prince and you are mother and son, but we are father and son, and the crown prince is brother! No matter who it is, whoever alienates their brothers, let me know, and I will definitely fight back."

These words also spread, and the courtiers who had thoughts in the previous dynasty were silent. The meaning of the emperor's words was obvious. If anyone instigated a few princes to compete with the prince for the throne, and the royal family was disturbed, the emperor would let the other party's family Restless, brother centrifuged.

No emperor has ever said such a thing. Everyone seems to understand why King Rongjun is always unreliable sometimes. It turns out that this is the root cause.

Qi Xiuyuan cleaned up Zhao Concubine, and let the prince take the second prince to sleep, because the second prince was only willing to follow Xiaobao except his wet nurse.

When he was not sensible, he had the best time to play with the prince, except for the wet nurse, and the prince was the elder brother. In his heart, the prince was naturally the most cordial.

The second prince woke up in a nightmare at night and cried while hugging his eldest brother, Xiaobao could only comfort him clumsily.

The four-year-old second prince didn't understand, "Why does the concubine hate me? She always asks me to endorse it, and hits me in the palm of my hand if I can't do it. She also doesn't allow me to play with the prince's elder brother, or take the third and fourth younger brothers to play. …”

A four-year-old child naturally does not understand the issue of royal wives and concubines. He knows whoever treats him well will kiss him.

Concubine Zhao Shu has been very proud since she gave birth to the second prince. She is the second person under the empress. As for the noble concubine Duan Xian, she has been out of the palace all the year round, and she has no children and no competition for favor. People are just afraid of forgetting her.

But it has changed since the prince knew that he had a younger brother. He often came to her palace to see him and play with him. When the emperor came over, he was basically led by him and only accompanied his two children. The time he spent with her was There are very few, and the most hateful thing is that when he leaves, he will pull the emperor away by the way and go directly to the queen.

She originally wanted to use the child to lure the emperor, and take advantage of the fact that Long Enzhengsheng would give birth to two more sons. By then, she would have so many sons, and the queen would only have one son and one daughter. Who will lose in 20 to 30 years? It's not certain who wins, but her plans are all messed up by the prince, how can she not hate it?

When the child was older, the emperor even asked people to take the child directly to the Kunning Palace. The family was happy, but she was alone in the empty hall. What was the use of her giving birth to this son?

And the second prince's childish temperament, seeing the prince taking him to play so much fun, and taking him out of the palace to play, he loves this big brother even more. When he returns to the palace, opening his mouth is his brother, and shutting his mouth is also a brother. Concubine Zhao Shu can't find the prince. Unlucky, it is inevitable to cast anger on his son.

The child is sensitive. After three or four times, he knows that he is afraid, and naturally avoids her. In this way, the mother and child slowly walk away. Instead, it is best to be with the nursing mother who takes care of him closely.

Lying next to his brother at this time, the second prince asked him in confusion, "Why doesn't the mother-in-law like me?"

Xiaobao wrinkled his nose, he didn't know why Concubine Zhao Shu didn't like the second brother, isn't the second brother the son of Concubine Zhao Shu?

In his heart, mothers should love their children. Like his mother, like the fourth aunt, like the cousin, they all love their children, and they feel very distressed when they fall.

But seeing how sad his brother was, Xiaobao didn't tell him his guess, only patted his back comfortably and said, "Concubine Zhao Shu definitely likes you, but maybe she doesn't know how to express it, or because she is still young. , so I don't know how to take the child?"

The fourth aunt said that the little bear could not marry until he was 18 years old, saying that he was too young to take care of people after marrying a young daughter-in-law, and that he was destroying the flowers of the motherland.

Although I didn’t understand the latter sentence, I understood the meaning of the former sentence, and Emperor Er’s biological mother did look quite young.

The second prince looked at his brother with red and swollen eyes, "My mother and concubine are still young?"

Little Treasure nodded and said, "It's very small. I saw that we should be called sister."

The second prince pouted at him and asked, "Then why is my mother-in-law so small?"

Xiaobao said solemnly: "Because the royal father chose your mother-in-law, and then slept with her, I have you," Xiaobao paused, and then hesitantly said: "The fourth aunt said that this is destroying the flowers of the motherland, Father seems to have done something wrong."

The attention of the second prince was diverted, and he asked with wide eyes, "Why do I have to sleep?"

Xiaobao shook his head, "I don't know, we can ask the mother tomorrow."

"Then the royal father should be punished for doing something wrong?"

"You will definitely be punished, and you will be punished for making mistakes..."

"What's the punishment for the royal father?"

The topic of the two children went to the ends of the earth at once, and the servant who was sleeping on the footstep was sweating coldly. I just hope he didn't hear those words just now.

The two brothers said what they said for half a night, and the next day was expected to get up late.

Xiaobao opened his eyes, stretched halfway, and suddenly froze. Seeing the sunlight scattered in the room, he jumped up and shouted, "I'm late, I'm late..."

The second prince woke up and shouted, "Brother Prince."

Little Treasure said, "I'm up late, I'm late for school, I might be beaten at night."

The attendant came in from outside and said with a smile, "Don't worry, His Royal Highness, the emperor said this morning that he will give you a day off and accompany the second prince today."

Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled his second brother to get up, and after washing up, he took him to Kunning Palace to see his sister.

At this time, Li Jinghua was instructing people to clean up the side hall, "Since Concubine Zhao is going to think about it behind closed doors, the second prince will be left with her and no one will discipline him. Let the second prince live with me first, and wait for Concubine Zhao to solve it. Send it back after you're done."

Wen Cui looked at the calm-faced queen, and knew that she was angry. She planned to teach Concubine Zhao personally, "Where is the emperor..."

Li Jinghua smiled and said, "The emperor has already agreed."

She wants to raise the second prince well, how could the emperor not agree?

Not only does she want to raise the second prince, she will also teach him well, teach him to be respectful to his brothers and sisters, and to be kind and filial to his son. As for whether this child will be divorced from Concubine Zhao, it will depend on what Concubine Zhao does. If she wakes up, she will double It's okay to be good to this child, if it's still like that, then she can't be blamed.
