After giving his eldest son a slap in the face and a scolding. The Prince of Qingyang County pushed away the eldest son who was supporting him, and instead stretched his hand to the other side. The fifth son did not come forward because of Huang Qiong's roll call. When the fifth son saw his father's outstretched hand, he couldn't help but beam with joy. He hurriedly walked to the Qingyang County Prince and helped his father up.
Compared with the two younger brothers around him who were obviously drunk and drunk, the Prince of Qingyang looked heroic. At this time, the eldest son had just helped his father up. But he didn't expect that as soon as his father stood up, without saying a word, he slapped him across the face. The words he scolded him afterwards were even more unpleasant. He didn't look like a father at all, as if he was not dealing with his own son.
Now, in front of an uncle, he took his arm out of his hand and handed it to his fifth brother. A trace of embarrassment and embarrassment appeared on the face of Qingyang's eldest son. But when he raised his head and saw that he was concentrating on drinking tea, it was as if the scene just now had not happened before his eyes. The tea in his hand seemed to attract the prince's attention even more.
After another glance, he lowered his head and said nothing when he saw the current scene, clearly showing that he did not want to participate in other clan affairs in his family. Looking at his younger brother who looked very proud, the eldest son of Qingyang clenched his fists without leaving a trace in response to such an embarrassing situation. Then he said calmly: "The father must have misunderstood his son. The son has never expected anything that he shouldn't expect."
"For the son, as long as his father is safe and well, that is the best thing. As for other things, the son has never thought about it, let alone doing anything unfilial to his father. The son thought, among them There must be some misunderstandings. When he returns to the house, if anything happens to his father, his son will give him a detailed explanation. But today, we must not be rude in front of you. "
After the eldest son of Qingyang said these words, the Prince of Qingyang County looked back. Huang Qiong, who was sitting behind the desk, looked over with a cold look. He was so frightened that he couldn't help but shrink his neck and stopped targeting his eldest son. But the anger in his eyes still lingered. It seemed like his son had really done something to him.
After Huang Qiong saw this scene, he had a different view of the Qingyang County Prince and his eldest son. In such an embarrassing situation, this person could still say such polite words without any panic. But Huang Qiong saw this when he clenched and unclenched his fists. Huang Qiong could clearly see the humiliation in Qingyang's eldest son's eyes.
But at this time, the eldest son of Qingyang still had a smile on his face, and it did not diminish at all. Seeing the eldest son's performance, Huang Qiong was secretly amazed. The Prince of Qingyang County was so greedy and short-sighted, but the eldest son of Qingyang's mind was somewhat beyond his expectation. The fact that he could endure such a humiliating thing is enough to show that this person is not an ordinary person who can endure it.
After Liu Chang proposed the idea two days ago, Huang Qiong had already sent people to find out the details of Prince Qingyang's family. In fact, the so-called legitimate son of the great uncle in front of him is not the real legitimate son at all. His true legitimate son had died together as early as when his legitimate princess was born due to dystocia. This so-called legitimate son was actually his eldest son from a concubine.
The mother of the eldest son of Qingyang was originally a maid assigned by the mother of Qingyang County Prince to serve her son. Because of her beauty, not long after she arrived at the side of the Qingyang County Prince, she was possessed by the lustful Qingyang County Prince. But she didn't expect that after winning the bid, she would become pregnant and have this eldest son who was born as a concubine. Originally, after the death of her legitimate son, the old princess had been thinking about having more children.
This is the idea of assigning the most beautiful girl around to serve his son. And this kind of thing is not uncommon among those wealthy families nowadays. In the end, the wish came true, but the problem was that the prince of Qingyang County was just trying to harm the mother of the eldest son of a common concubine for a temporary reason. Once the novelty wore off, he thought it was someone sent by his mother to monitor him.
Coupled with the lack of control from his wife, and the constant presence of women being brought into the house, the mother and son became increasingly indifferent. Although he was not kicked out of the house, he did not even take a look at the birth of the concubine's eldest son. The subsequent concubines who were appointed as queens never gave birth to a legitimate son. Because he was worried that he would never have a legitimate son, the title would fall into the hands of his brothers.
In order to keep his title, he adopted the eldest son of his concubine, who was born just three days apart from his legitimate son, into the name of his ex-wife. It is claimed that he is the son left by his first princess who had a difficult childbirth. But compared to this eldest son, who couldn't get his father to take him seriously. The fifth son of the concubine was very favored. His biological mother was originally the maid of the current princess, but was later made the maid of the Qingyang County Prince's brother-in-law.
After this concubine's fifth son was born, he was adopted by the current princess and treated as her own biological son, and she has been raising her with her. As for the dowry maid who was the biological mother, she died of puerperal fever just after giving birth to the fifth son. However, there were rumors in Prince Qingyang's palace that the biological mother of the fifth concubine did not die of illness at all, but was killed by the princess.
That poor woman, after giving birth to this concubine's fifth son. Because it had no use value, he was thrown into a cold room by Princess Qingcheng during the confinement period. No one was allowed to bring food or water, and even a brazier was not given during the third and ninth days. As a result, I was freezing and hungry during the confinement period. After giving birth to the child, she didn't even survive three days before she died of cold and starvation.
After killing her mother and seizing her son, Princess Qingyang treated the fifth concubine as her own son. He has also been planning to appoint his adopted son as the heir to the Qingyang County Prince's Palace. It's just because the old man never agreed that he didn't succeed. Although the old man succeeded to the throne as the son of a concubine, he attached great importance to the distinction between legitimate concubines and elders.
The old man has always disagreed with the matter of appointing the fifth son as the crown prince, bypassing the legitimate son and other sons when there is a legitimate son. No matter whether the eldest son is the true son or not. But since the prince of Qingyang County has reported him as the eldest son, he is the eldest son. As long as he does not commit the crime of treason or any other serious crime, the status of this heir apparent cannot be shaken.
And Huang Qiong didn't understand this either. Although the old man himself was a bit unexpected, he succeeded as the son of a concubine. How could he attach so much importance to the distinction between concubines and elders? Even if he established rules for those clans, he would not be so arbitrary. The most important thing is that Huang Qiong doesn't think that the old man really knows that the Qingyang County Prince is cheating on others.
However, Huang Qiong didn't really care whether the eldest son was a real legitimate son or a fake legitimate son. But the performance of the eldest son of the concubine made Huang Qiong feel a little moved, and he began to question whether his decision to change horses was correct. This eldest son is too scheming and too good at hiding himself. Even if everyone in the world is a parent, children cannot have any complaints about their parents’ teachings.
But he could still be so calm after being slapped innocently, and even the smile on his face did not decrease by half, which is enough to show that this person's mind is not ordinary. Even his father, who seemed arrogant but was actually a fool, was far behind. Is it a good thing or a bad thing to help such a person take over? Looking at the clan members present, Huang Qiong turned the rosary in his hand rapidly.
But then Huang Qiong laughed again. No matter how scheming you are, without strength you are nothing. Moreover, even if he successfully took over the title of Qingyang Mansion with his own support. But what threat could a small county prince bring to the court, even if he was rich? So what if I am more ambitious? You can also leave him a lot of troubles that he needs to clean up slowly.
At this time, although Huang Qiong did not completely change his original idea, he partially changed his mind. I originally thought that I would take action and clean up the Qingyang County Prince's Mansion. The princess of Qingyang County was sent to guard the mausoleum together with the other wives and concubines of his great-uncle in the mansion, as well as all his sons. Looking at it now, if I clean it up for him all at once, I'm afraid it will make him too free.
People, it is better to be busy. Only when you are busy will you stop thinking randomly. Especially for someone who seems to have a certain ambition, keeping him busy is the right way to go. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong made up his mind. He stood up, walked to Qingyang County Prince and his son, and said with a faint smile: "Uncle, no matter what, we are biological father and son. What's the matter? Can we sit down and talk about it?"
"If your eldest son is really unfilial, don't worry, even if you can't control it, there are still people who will make the decision with you. Why is he still so angry when he is old? Being calm is the way to maintain health, isn't it? Now this The child has grown up, and when you should let go of some things, you should let go, right? At your age, you have reached the age where you should enjoy peace and happiness, right? "
Although Huang Qiong's words were very calm, the unquestionable tone in his tone made the Prince of Qingyang tremble in fear. Don't look at this Qingyang County Prince, he is so generous and rogue in front of the emperor. But now in front of Huang Qiong, the arrogance he had in Wende Hall the year before last was gone. Now I am not just afraid of this prince.
After being locked up in Zongzheng Temple for more than a month, he was really frightened. Although the Duke of Shanyang, as the chief minister of Zongzheng Temple, took good care of him. The meals and clothing provided by family members were never withheld. After checking and confirming that nothing happened, I felt relieved. At night, secretly get him a brazier to warm himself up. None of the jailers in Zongzheng Temple dared to abuse him.
But the dark room where Prince Yu and his son were once imprisoned, with no light even in broad daylight, and still cold even if the brazier was lit, has become a nightmare that he will never get rid of for the rest of his life. Listening to Huang Qiong's extremely peaceful words, there was a tone that did not allow for negotiation. The Prince of Qingyang County couldn't help but tremble all over, fearing that if this man said it again, his uncle would be too angry and he would have to go and calm it down.
Of course the Prince of Qingyang County knew that he had just slapped his eldest son and scolded him wildly. In fact, it was not because of the time he spent in the dark room. The eldest son really neglected him and the quality of the food he gave him was too poor. But he thought that he had suffered a lot during this month, being locked up in the cold, dark little room at Zongzheng Temple.
In addition to the fact that he suffered a lot at the hands of the prince's grandfather, the Prince of Huaiyang. Ever since he came to power personally and was canonized as the Prince of Qingyang County, how has he ever suffered like this? Since he was granted the title of county king, what he ate during the meal was not delicacies from mountains and seas, and he was not served by all kinds of beauties that night. If there are less than eighteen dishes at each meal, I won’t be able to use chopsticks at all.
