She is his mother-in-law, and he actually said that she was instigating a relationship between him and that little brat?
How ridiculous!
Could it be that as his mother-in-law, in his heart, she is not as good as a half-year-old child of Ganlu Palace?
What on earth was the prince so bewildered by?
Concubine Shu was so angry that she was trembling, and she really couldn't continue chatting with him in a pleasant manner.
"You, you... this palace is all thinking about you, how can you be so ignorant? Are you always blaming this palace for the fact that the deposed queen was thrown into the cold palace?"
"Did I ask him to wear the thunderbolt wood engraved with your father's name on his body?"
"I see that you have forgotten where you came from. If I hadn't given birth to you in ten months of pregnancy and planned everything for you, how could you be the prince you are today?"
It seemed that the prince was still unmoved and determined to turn against her.
Concubine Shu was so angry that she almost went crazy: "Whether you hate me or blame me, I am doing this for your own good. The road has been paved for you. How to go on is up to you!"
Because the queen was banished to the cold palace, Concubine Shu felt like she could no longer talk to the prince.
With a flick of his sleeve, he left with Hanxiang and the accompanying eunuch!
Hearing the footsteps behind him and meeting Xue Xiu's worried eyes, the prince sighed.
"Actually, I know that the imperial sister instigated my father to take the Qing emperor's brother back to the palace just to instigate my mother-in-law and Wu Chongyuan to turn against each other."
The prince hit the nail on the head: "Wu Chongyuan is like a slippery loach, always hiding in the dark, making the imperial sister want to attack her, but she can't catch her for a while, so the imperial sister uses the trick of the Qing emperor's brother returning to the palace. , let my mother-in-law regard Wu Chongyuan as a thorn in my flesh, after all, if the Qing Emperor’s younger brother has been raised in the Wang Bo’s house, he will not pose any threat to me.”
"But when he was brought into the palace, with his father's love for Wu Chongyuan, everything is hard to say!"
The prince told Xue Xiu: "It is difficult to get hold of Wu Chongyuan, but my mother-in-law is the person who knows her best. It is easier for my mother-in-law to be afraid of Wu Chongyuan and deal with her than it is for the imperial sister to take action herself."
"And Wu Chongyuan is also ambitious and capable. After bringing the Qing emperor's younger brother into the palace, she will definitely not watch her mother-in-law suppress and scheme against her everywhere."
"The imperial sister's move is indeed worth four taels of gold. It can make the two of them bite each other and completely turn against each other, leaving no room for me."
The prince asked Xue Xiu: "But can I blame her? She has been merciful many times for my sake. The emperor's sister is very courageous for her mother. Although I have admiration for my mother, she is As a prince, you have to look forward and backward, and dare not do anything."
"After all, I take my position as the crown prince too seriously, and I am afraid that I will fall from a high place. As much as I admire your sister's courage, I hate my own cowardice."
As a close friend, Xue Xiu felt that the prince was actually a bit pitiful.
He comforted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"There is no need to comfort me. If the mother-in-law is not too ambitious, she will not fall into the emperor's sister's plan right away. Even if I analyze the pros and cons for her, she will still be afraid of Wu Chongyuan and fight to the death."
"Also, Wu Chongyuan will never stop after bringing the Qing emperor's younger brother into the palace as he wishes."
From the ice well platform, looking down at the grand scene of today's East Neiyuan, the prince told Xue Xiu: "The emperor's sister once told me that the third emperor's brother participated in the cowpox surgery, and there was a lotus appreciation banquet last year. Some people pretended to be Your appearance deliberately provokes the imperial sister’s misunderstanding of me.”
Is there such a thing?
Xue Xiu was shocked!
The prince nodded, meaning that was what he guessed.
"Wu Chongyuan, who pretended to submit to my mother-in-law, actually had a big plan..."
Concubine Shu and the prince both thought that there was no one near Bingjing Terrace, but they did not know that after he and Xue Xiu walked away, Aunt Gongsun came out from under the beam behind Bingjing Terrace silently.
During this period, King Qi often came to the workshop, euphemistically saying that he was watching the progress of the Dragon Boat Festival rehearsals. There was also the sanctimonious King Ning, who seemed to be trying to persuade King Qi not to mess around, but in fact the drunkard's intention was not to drink.
After performing the sword dance, she was hiding here for a while, but unexpectedly she encountered this scene.
The water in the palace is really too deep!
Aunt Gongsun secretly sweated for Li Sixu.
Originally, before leaving the palace, she had to go to the Manna Hall to say goodbye to the tenth princess in person. Judging from the current situation, the palace was in troubled times, and the tenth princess had too much time to take care of herself, so it was better not to disturb her.
Aunt Gongsun hesitated for a moment and sneaked towards the stables in the East Inner Garden.
After Huangfu Xiuyi successfully gave birth to the little princess, she lost too much blood and was unconscious for three days before she woke up. While the palaces were busy sending congratulatory gifts to the Cuiwei Pavilion of Penglai Hall, Li Sixu prepared the preparations for her mother-in-law and Aunt Wei. Among the gifts, a prescription for replenishing blood after childbirth was added.
Huangfu Xiuyi was very grateful and asked Doctor Du about Li Sixu.
Simply, Li Sixu put on a pair of silver bell bracelets given to her little imperial sister and entered the Penglai Hall.
While still at the door of Cuiwei Pavilion, I heard the anxious voice of the palace maid Gui'er: "Fifth prince, please stop quickly and return the little princess to your slave. The princess is just a few days old and cannot bask in the sun."
When Li Sixu stepped into Cuiwei Pavilion, she saw a handsome young man holding the newborn princess in his arms and about to step down the steps of the pavilion with one foot.
However, he was blocked by Gui'er in a hurry!
The boy held the baby in his hands like a treasure: "Why can't you bask in the sun?"
When he smiled innocently at Guier, Li Sixu felt that the boy's smile was full of sunshine, and the clean and refreshing breath hit her face.
Li Sixu guessed that the young man in front of her was Li Yao, her brother from the Fifth Emperor who had just returned to Beijing from a study tour.
Seeing Guier Qian in a hurry, he couldn't explain why.
Li Sixu continued: "The skin of the little princess who is just a few days old is still too delicate and can be easily sunburned. It is not impossible for the fifth emperor brother to hold her in the sun for a while. He also needs to use something to cover the little princess's face. and eyes.”
The fifth prince handed the baby in his hands to Gui'er, put the little cape and hat that the baby came with on his sister's head, and asked Li Sixu, "Is that so?"
Li Sixu nodded!
The fifth prince smiled naively at Li Sixu: "How come you know everything? No wonder the prince brother often says that you are the most intelligent and intelligent, and the fifth brother's ears are full of cocoons."
Seeing Li Sixu's stunned expression, he hurriedly explained: "It was said in the letter written by the prince's brother to me."
"My mother-in-law and the little imperial sister, thanks to the help of the ten imperial sisters."
Li Yao bowed seriously to Li Sixu and said, "It's hard for Li Yao to remember the great kindness of the imperial sister. If anyone dares to bully the imperial sister in the palace in the future, the imperial sister can just recite my name."
After bowing, he patted his chest like a man.
Guier, who was holding the baby in her arms, made her laugh out loud.
This fifth brother of hers seems a little naive?
Li Sixu couldn't help but laugh: "What if reporting the name of Fifth Brother doesn't work?"
"Then tell me your name as the prince brother!"
