""I think things are a little strange. How could the queen be so quiet? Doesn't your Majesty have any doubts? "
Taoyao smiled and said, in fact, as long as you do a little research on this matter, you should be able to find something, but Emperor Xuan is really too confident in women.
I always feel that women should be obedient and dependent on him, and not have their own thoughts.
"She is the queen and the master of the harem, so what can she do?"
Emperor Xuan looked unhappy. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about these things anymore and felt that it was meaningless.
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing. I shouldn't have said that in front of His Majesty. Queen and Madam, it's because I don't know the rules, it's because I'm ignorant, it's me who ruined His Majesty's pleasure!"
Taoyao shook her head and pretended to blame herself.
This look made Emperor Xuan suddenly laugh. He could only say that what he liked was Tao Yao's coquettish and cute look.
It won't make people feel bored, it will just feel right and so attractive.
But Jing Zhao, who had been following behind with his head lowered, felt vaguely unhappy.
He hates the way he is now. Why is he still a child? Why can't you just follow behind? Why can I only listen to the conversation between the empress and the father?
When they returned, Taoyao held Jing Zhao's hand and looked at him, as if she was very unhappy.
"What's wrong? Were you unhappy just now with just a few words from Prince Jingyang?"
Tao Yao thought it was still the same thing that happened just now. After all, Jing Yang was so pampered by Concubine De that he couldn't do anything about it.
How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of yourself? He was taught a lesson last time, but he was not afraid at all.
"It's not because of this. I don't mind what they said at all. I just feel a little unhappy when I see my queen and my father walking together."
Jing Zhao lowered his head slightly.
"There are so many concubines in my father's harem, not to mention the other beauties that I love so much. Doesn't my empress not care at all? Is it possible that my empress can love my father wholeheartedly?"
This is what Jing Zhao finds most puzzling.
In his opinion, Taoyao was so noble and mysterious, and his father was really not worthy of such a woman.
He really wants to grow up quickly.
Do you think I really love your father with all my heart? Do all my emotions change because of your father? In your mind, am I such a vulgar woman?
Tao Yao could only smile helplessly. She really didn't know what this child was thinking inexplicably, or maybe it was like this from the child's perspective.
"I can't understand what your Majesty is thinking. I just followed my father and my Majesty, and I just feel that you are not a match. My father is not worthy of the sincerity of so many people."
Jing Zhao lowered his head, his eyes filled with resentment.
When he was in the cold palace, it wasn't like he hadn't heard the gossip from the palace people.
It is said that his mother once received the favor of the father, but later ended up like this.
Father's love is really worthless. When you like it, everything is fine, just like you doted on Taoyao now, but what if you don't like it in the future?
What will happen next, I really don’t know.
"I have said before, you are just a child, you don't need to worry about this for me. You just need to stay by my side with peace of mind and grow up healthily. Things in the future will be decided for you, so don't worry about it."
Taoyao smiled and held Jing Zhao's little face, comforting her softly.
Knowing that this child has been in the cold palace for so many years and has never felt safe in his heart, then I will make him feel safe again time and time again.
The queen and concubine De were extremely happy. To be precise, this was the time when they felt happiest.
"The Queen, I feel that Concubine Rong has really quieted down recently. I think she won't be arrogant in front of the Queen in the future!"
At this moment, Concubine De didn't know that her son had just been reprimanded by Emperor Xuan, and she still felt that Emperor Xuan's love for Tao Yao was slowly fading away.
The queen also had a smile on her lips, obviously agreeing with this statement.
No one knows His Majesty better than him. Your Majesty will never truly love a woman. As long as that woman is obedient and has a beautiful body, she will be favored by His Majesty.
Yuelao is so beautiful, it is only a matter of time before she gets His Majesty's special favor.
Sure enough, as time passed, His Majesty fell more and more in love with her, and basically visited him every day.
"Do you think this is enough? Do you think I will let Concubine Rong go so easily?"
The queen smiled, "When she was arrogant and willful in front of me and talked nonsense, did she ever think about the day when she would fall out of favor? Once she fell out of favor, I would definitely let her die!"
The queen's eyes were full of coldness. She had never executed anyone before, and she had never had concubines who were favored by His Majesty in the past. But who could end up well?
Liu Meiren's fate is still vivid in her mind. Who dares to fight with her? She is the master of the harem.
When Concubine De heard the last sentence, she was also shocked.
Knowing that the queen is ruthless, I can only obey in everything. I never dare to disobey, and I can only rely on the big tree of the queen.
Otherwise, how could her son be born and grow up safely?
"In this case, I will retire."
As soon as Concubine De returned, she looked at her son crying again.
"What's going on? Why are you crying? Who dares to bully you?"
Concubine De immediately panicked, hugged Jingyang on her lap, and asked worriedly. When she heard that she was reprimanded by Emperor Xuan, she immediately started to worry again.
"Is it just because of such a trivial matter that your father reprimanded you again, or is it because of that bitch Concubine Rong?"
Concubine De was angry and angry. Seeing Jingyang who was still crying, she really felt hatred in her heart.
It seems that the queen was right to accept it just now. Tao Yao is really too arrogant. As long as she falls out of favor, there will definitely be no good ending!
"The son also felt confused. Didn't the mother and concubine say that the father didn't like him? Why did she scold the son because of her? Last time she beat the son like this, the father ignored him. He really It’s a scourge!”
Jingyang cried loudly, feeling really wronged. He had never felt so wronged before.
"Okay, okay, don't say this. If someone hears it, your father will be deceived by her again!"
Concubine De could only coax her gently. After all, it was her son, and she felt aggrieved when he cried like this.
In the past, I might still go to His Majesty to make trouble and cry, but now I know that I have no choice but to place my hope on the Queen.
I just hope that the queen can fight Tao Yao and avenge her!
Jingyang was very grudge-y at a young age, and this time he completely remembered the grudge.
After class this time, he and Jinghua casually walked around the Royal Garden together, but in reality they were just talking in a low voice.
"Why does my father like that Concubine Rong so much? It's been so long, but he still likes her so much!"
Jingyang whispered his dissatisfaction.
"Isn't this something that you and I can control? Even the Queen Mother didn't say anything. Let's not talk nonsense here."
Jinghua actually agreed, but he had to be smarter after all. Now that he was saying these things outside, it would be bad if he was listened to.
"It's fine that my father likes Concubine Rong, but why do we have to let him bring that bastard out? It's really an eyesore to follow us in class all day long!"
When he said this, Jingyang couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes.
He always believed that such a bastard was not worthy of being the prince of his father like them, and it was really beneath his status.
"You're right, I think so too."
Jinghua nodded in agreement. In fact, he agreed with everything Jingyang said, but it was difficult to say it out loud.
He had heard the Queen's complaints often, so he naturally took all these words to heart and expressed his approval.
"What if one day, my father's love for Concubine Rong transfers to that bastard?"
Jinghua suddenly whispered, this was what he was most worried about. Although it seems a bit ridiculous to say this now, it may last forever, but there is no telling.
"What His Highness said seems to make sense!" Jingyang suddenly panicked, his little eyes rolling around.
Jinghua, on the other hand, secretly glanced at Jingyang next to him, "It would be great if that Mr. Ye was gone. He wouldn't have to appear in front of us anymore and be an eyesore!"
As expected, Jingyang took these words in. He was already quite resentful towards Taoyao and Jing Zhao.
Because they had been reprimanded countless times by Emperor Xuan, they had already held grudges.
Children who grow up in the palace are never innocent and simple, and they also have many little thoughts at a young age.
On this day, Taoyao was eating melon seeds in the palace and reading the storybook when Chuxue came over in a hurry, looking very nervous.
"Empress, it's not good. Your Highness Jing Zhao fell into the water. You'd better go over and have a look."
"What?" Taoyao immediately closed the notebook and quickly went to the imperial garden.
He knew that things in the palace were definitely not so peaceful, either he was targeting himself or Jing Zhao.
When they went there, Jing Zhao had already been rescued, and a guard was leaning on his chest to help him spit out the water.
"What happened?"
Jing Zhao squatted down, took Jing Zhaobing's cold little hand, and scolded.
"I don't know what happened. When I patrolled here, I heard Prince Jing Zhao's cry for help. I quickly jumped down and rescued him. I have already squeezed out all the water that he was choking on. I think he should be fine. Got it!"
The patrolling guard knelt on the ground and replied, luckily they rescued the person.
"Bring the prince back quickly."
Tao Yao glanced towards the pond. It was obvious that the road there had been tampered with. This time it was obviously not an accident.
Jing Zhao was dazed and woke up coughing. Seeing Taoyao sitting by the bed guarding him, she really felt at ease.
"Have you worried me again? After studying my homework, I just wanted to go to the pond to see the lotus flowers in bloom. It has been like this for the past few days, but I didn't expect that the edge of the pond was particularly slippery today, and I accidentally fell off. Go down."
Jing Zhao still looks very weak now, and he coughs several times in a row even if he says a word.
"Stop talking, I know everything."
Jing Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, already thinking about it.
In fact, I know that this is probably done through manipulation again, but I don’t want to say this in front of my children. It’s good that I feel safe this time.
Most likely Emperor Xuan wouldn't care about this matter. He didn't have this child in his heart. Whether Jing Zhao died or lived, it probably wouldn't have much impact on him.
It seems that these days have given the Queen and Concubine De the illusion that they really can only be bullied?
