He was carried here.
Although his face was gloomy and so gloomy that he could drip water, when he really saw Ying Zheng sitting next to King Song, he didn't say anything frivolous, and he didn't even hum.
This is somewhat unlike his character.
Ying Zheng knew this very well - it was probably the Queen who exerted the force.
He guessed quite well.
In order to prevent this good-for-nothing son from going crazy, the Queen deliberately broke one of the legs of the eldest son, hoping to delay the time for him to go mad and directly confront the sixth prince. However, tonight's palace banquet was directly ordered by the Emperor. , except for the banned Princess Changhua, all the other princes and princesses in the palace must attend.
In the past, if the eldest son of the emperor was sick or unwell, he would just take a leave of absence. However, this matter happened at such a delicate moment, and the queen immediately ordered that even if the eldest son of the emperor was being carried, he would be taken to the hospital. Bring it over here!
The eldest son of the emperor was dissatisfied. As soon as his lips moved, the queen's eyes were like the cold light on the blade of a knife, shining through: "Don't do anything you shouldn't do, and don't say anything you shouldn't say! I Isn't it all for you that I have worked so hard for these decades? If you really can't hold up the wall, then just die! I am the queen, and without a son, no matter which prince ascends the throne, he will be missing. My mouthful of rice!”
The eldest son of the emperor subconsciously wanted to talk back, but when he saw his mother's cold eyes, he still shrank.
When the queen saw this, how could she not guess what he wanted to say?
At that moment, he raised his foot and kicked his broken leg hard!
The eldest son of the emperor couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.
"Does it hurt? That's right!"
The queen pointed at his nose and warned him sternly: "I will not tolerate you anymore! If you dare to be stupid tonight, I can break your legs as hard as I can." My heart will break your neck! If you don’t believe it, just try it!”
After saying that, he walked away without even looking at his son's reaction.
The eldest son of the emperor was angry and aggrieved, but after holding his broken leg and gasping for air for a long time, he still did not dare to say a word.
That's why he was as quiet as a chicken tonight.
After the eldest son, the fourth prince and the fifth prince also came.
Compared to the eldest brother's gloomy look, the expressions on the faces of these two people were much more lively.
It's a pity that the main manifestation is anxiety and uneasiness, and even the head seems to want to be stuck in the neck.
There is a saying that the eldest son of the emperor is indeed arrogant, but he is indeed more than ten years older than the sixth prince. In this era, in fact, he can no longer be regarded as a generation. The two brothers had many changes in palace life. There are also few interactions.
He really embarrassed the Sixth Prince and mocked his mother in front of him. The one who bullied him the most in class was the Fourth and Fifth Princes who were older than him but not a few years older.
Especially when the two of them could not remember, it was when Concubine Quan was the most favored. Their biological mother still expected her son to win favor for her. Unexpectedly, when Concubine Quan came, everyone became a stranger. .
Although Concubine Quan was later relegated to the cold palace, the emperor also became indifferent to the harem and rarely visited the concubines. More than ten years later, he only added a seventh prince.
If this happens, they will inevitably hate Concubine Quan, and even their children will become hostile to the Sixth Prince.
The fourth prince and the fifth prince entered the main hall cautiously. As soon as they took a look, they saw the sixth brother sitting next to the uncle of the Song Dynasty King and Emperor. Thinking of the recent importance their father paid to the sixth son and the special treatment given by the Song Dynasty King and the emperor's uncle, their mouths were filled with tears. Got sour.
The fifth prince asked his brother Wolong: "Fourth brother, does my father really intend to make the sixth prince the crown prince?"
The fourth prince answered his younger brother Fengchu: "I think so."
The fifth prince asked his brother Wolong: "The sixth brother can do it, but it makes no sense that the two of us can't. Fourth brother, are you sure you can pull him down while you go up?"
The fourth prince answered his younger brother Fengchu without hesitation: "Not at all."
Fifth Prince: "..."
Fifth Prince: "Think about it for a while. Isn't your answer too quick?"
Fourth Prince: "Do you still need to think about this? If you are good at it, why can't you do it?!"
Fifth Prince: "..."
The Fourth Prince: "..."
The two brothers looked at each other, and were inevitably frightened.
In the palace, the two of them dared to bully the sixth brother who was not favored by their mother, but they did not dare to provoke other princes and princesses. It is obvious that they are bullies and afraid of the strong, and they have been bullied by them all year round. The sixth brother suddenly turned into a prehistoric dragon - no matter how you think about it, it's scary!
And once the sixth child becomes the crown prince, or even the emperor...
Isn't that just making them round and flat?
The fifth prince trembled and asked his brother Wolong: "How do you think he will retaliate against us in the future? Fourth brother, I'm a little scared."
The fourth prince trembled and answered his younger brother Fengchu: "Damn beast, am I not afraid?!"
Fifth Prince: "..."
The Fourth Prince: "..."
The brothers and sisters looked at each other in confusion for a while.
Then the fifth prince tried to comfort brother Wolong, and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, if he survives for a few more decades, he will probably die."
The Fourth Prince: "..."
Fourth Prince: Bolt Q!
Thanks to my brother Fengchu, I am really comforted! ! !
The two brothers were afraid of their younger brother who had been bullied in the past, but they did not dare to come forward to beg for mercy at this time. They sat down at their seats like two trembling quails, thinking in their hearts how to apologize later. That's good.
…
When the queen came to the main hall, all the concubines, princes and princesses in the hall stood up and saluted.
Although she had just experienced a shocking incident, she still looked calm and calm. Although she was old, there was a sense of grace between her eyebrows that had been tempered by years of experience.
Even when he saw the emperor and Concubine Quan arriving hand in hand, he just smiled gently.
As for the concubines in the palace, after seeing the emperor and the concubine Quan Guifei with bright hairpins and unrivaled elegance next to him, they couldn't help but feel momentarily absent-minded, as if the portal of time had opened and they had returned to the past...
The emperor did not hesitate to show his respect for Concubine Quan in front of everyone, but few people really felt that this was because of the rekindling of old feelings.
If you want to burn it early, why wait until today?
In the final analysis, it is because Concubine Quan raised a good son!
The emperor did not hesitate to show his respect and love for the sixth prince in front of everyone. When he saw him sitting next to King Song, he even scolded him softly and said in a loving tone: " You kid, if you don’t stay in your place properly, you’re going to disturb your imperial uncle!”
As the sixth prince, Ying Zheng originally had a seat next to the fifth prince, but he was called over by the King of Song to speak in the middle of the ceremony. Of course, the etiquette officials did not dare to ask him away, so they set up a seat next to the King of Song for him to sit.
At this time, Ying Zheng did not refute the emperor's rebuke. Instead, he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty said, I will return to my seat right now."
"No need, now that the banquet has started, what will it look like if you keep walking back and forth?"
The emperor pointed to his lower head seemingly casually and ordered the attendant: "Set him a desk here."
Everyone in the palace changed their colors after hearing this.
Because that is the position where only the prince can sit in the etiquette and law!
Even the queen, who had always been as steady as a rock, couldn't help but pinch her palms with her nails at this moment!
Concubine Quan was frightened and stood up to refuse: "Your Majesty is so kind and loving, I really can't bear it tomorrow..."
The emperor looked at her tenderly and said affectionately: "I said he can afford it, so he can afford it."
He helped Concubine Quan up and said to Ying Zheng: "In the past few years, the state affairs were so busy that your birthday was never celebrated. But this year... (I suddenly remembered that I don't know when his birthday will be) (No) I think so) (with a clear conscience) (looking at Concubine Quan)"
Concubine Quan smiled and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow is my birthday on the ninth day of August, so it will be next month."
The emperor glanced at her with satisfaction, and continued as if no one else was watching: "Wait until next month, I will have to deal with it well!"
Concubine Quan looked at the queen hesitantly.
The emperor understands her worries, and for an emperor who has great power and is decisive in killing, he does not need to hide his likes and dislikes at all, let alone use any shields. As long as he wants to, he can be upright. Express your emotions brightly.
He looked at the queen, and naturally saw the latter's slightly blue cheeks, and asked with concern: "Is the queen feeling unwell?"
The queen forced a smile and said, "I just felt a little dizzy just now. I have this old problem."
The emperor sighed: "You, I always tell you to take a break, take a break, but you don't listen. Not for others, even for the two children, you should take care of yourself."
Ever since the Sixth Prince came to prominence, there seemed to be several barriers between the Emperor and the Empress. Thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be the first time the Empress heard caring words from the Emperor recently.
Her uneasy heart temporarily calmed down, and she smiled. She was about to thank him when she heard the emperor continue: "In the past, there were no high-ranking concubines in the palace, so I could only work hard for you all day long. Now that there are, My dear concubine, please let her share your worries."
"You can leave half of the palace affairs to her. When you get better in the future, you can let her return it."
The queen's feeling was like a long, chilled needle piercing her brain!
This is not about caring about her body, it is clearly about handing over the palace power to Concubine Quan!
And what is the difference between giving it to Concubine Quan and giving it to the Sixth Prince? !
The queen's lips murmured feebly a few times.
She wanted to refute, but she also knew how powerless words were in front of the iron-hearted emperor.
Concubine Quan was well-informed and understood that this was a very important step for herself and her son, so she did not refuse and did her duty and said: "I am very willing to share the worries of the Queen, but I am just afraid of myself." I am stupid and missed important events in the palace..."
——The Queen has been in charge of the Sixth Palace for many years. If I rush over there, I am afraid that I am just an empty show and cannot grasp the power at all.
The emperor admired her agility, but with a doting smile on his face, he patted her hand lovingly: "It doesn't matter, I will send someone to help you."
——It's okay, the queen's arms can't twist my thigh. I'll find someone to help you, so she can't get out of trouble.
The queen sat next to the emperor, but she felt as if she was infinitely far away from him.
She once felt that she and her husband were on par with each other, overlooking the prosperous world together.
However, at this moment, she was shocked to realize that to the emperor, whether she or the imperial concubine, they were just insects that could be easily crushed to death.
The woman who seems to be in control of power and favored by the king is actually just a ghost born of relying on imperial power, a vine rooted on a high wall.
Once the tiger or the wall stops supporting them, an infinitely miserable tragic fate awaits them.
What is the difference between her now and Concubine Quan back then?
Under the hurricane of imperial power, Quan was as fragile as a reed back then. How could she not be a reed today?
It was also at this moment that the Queen suddenly realized—
In this nine-level deep palace, a woman's fate has never been linked to hard work and luck. Life and death, honor and disgrace, only depend on the thoughts of the Supreme Emperor.
How terrible and frightening this is!
