The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Based on Lu Zhaolin's long-standing experience, young princes should be very popular in this harem.

But today, it’s just that Concubine Jade doesn’t want to raise the fifth prince. Why does Ah Ying also look reluctant?

Jiang Shiying sighed: "Ah Ying is still a child herself, how can she raise a child? I'm afraid she can't take care of the fifth prince."

This is half true and half false.

The nannies and maids take care of the fifth prince. The most she could do was give a few instructions and occasionally tease the children.

However, it’s not like she can’t give birth herself, so why should she raise someone else’s child?

Raised well, that's what she should be. If they are not raised well, it is all her fault as the adoptive mother.

Lu Zhaolin actually didn't really want to give the fifth prince to her. The reason why he asked people to clean up the interior of Xinuan Pavilion was because he hadn't thought about who he wanted to give the fifth prince to.

Therefore, when Jiang Shiying said this, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will just keep him here for a while. I will move him away after I think about it."

These words from Lu Zhaolin only reached the ears of three people, namely Jiang Shiying, Qiu Yu and Yao Xingde.

These three people will not spread this word easily.

Therefore, in the eyes of others in the harem, His Majesty originally wanted to give the fifth prince to Concubine Jade. But for some reason, not long after the decree was issued, the fifth prince was given to Chun Zhaoyi.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen was really anxious.

She first murmured: "We cannot let Chun Zhaoyi raise the fifth prince."

Then, he ordered in a loud voice: "Send concubine Li over and tell me that I want to see her."

The queen was not the only one who was worried about this matter.

In Yikun Palace, when Zhenmei heard the news, she raised her head and looked at Aunt Feng and said, "Auntie, Chun Zhaoyi is already more favored than me. If she has a prince under her knees, I'm afraid I won't be able to have one." The power of competition.”

However, Grandma Feng showed no worry at all and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, there are many people who are more worried about this matter than I am."

This makes sense.

Seeing that she looked more relaxed, Aunt Feng added, "Your top priority is to give birth to the little prince properly. As for Chun Zhaoyi and the fifth prince, others will find a way."

The man who was anxiously thinking of a solution arrived at the main hall of Hanzhang Palace during dinner time that day.

"Your Majesty, the palace is here."

As soon as the palace maid's voice finished, a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old in gorgeous clothes strode into the palace.

"My son pays his respects to his mother and concubine."

"Get up." Concubine Shu said, "Why did you come to pay your respects today?"

Regardless of whether you are a prince or a princess, after the age of seven, you will have to move out of your mother's palace and move to the prince's residence or the princess' residence.

The eldest prince is almost twelve years old and has lived in the prince's residence for several years. He does not come to Hanzhang Palace every day.

The eldest prince quickly walked to her side and sat down. He first waved away the young palace attendants waiting in the palace: "Except for Ruyi, you all can go down. You don't need to wait on me."

The palace people looked at Concubine Shu and saw Concubine Shu nodding, and then the palace people retreated.

Then, I heard the eldest prince say: "Son, I heard that the fifth brother was raised under Chun Zhaoyi's knees?"

Concubine Shu frowned: "Who told you this?"

The eldest prince said: "It's being spread throughout the palace."

Concubine Shu said: "Your Majesty has not issued an order on this matter yet."

The eldest prince said anxiously: "We must hurry up and mess up the matter before father gives the order."

Concubine Shu looked him up and down: "Your fifth brother is raised under Chun Zhaoyi's knees, why are you anxious?"

The eldest prince said: "With a concubine as favored as Chun Zhaoyi, the fifth brother will definitely become a serious problem for his son when he grows up."

Concubine Shu sneered and said: "Even without your fifth brother, Chun Zhaoyi is still young, and your father is also in his prime. Sooner or later, Chun Zhaoyi will be able to give birth to a prince by himself."

The eldest prince said: "Isn't it a matter of not having a shadow yet? But the fifth brother has grown to four years old, and he stood still just before he saw it."

Concubine Shu glanced at him and said: "Your father is not that kind of confused. He will not influence the establishment of the heir because of favoring which concubine. If you are determined to fight, you must be able to stand up for yourself."

Seeing her like this, the eldest prince became even more anxious: "But the son of a beloved concubine is a plus in the eyes of the father."

Concubine Shu lowered her head and fiddled with the armor on her fingers, not bothering to look at his stupid look: "If you want this bonus, ask Chun Zhaoyi if he will accept your son."

The eldest prince did not expect that his mother-in-law would say this, so he opened his mouth and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing that Concubine Shu still looked unconcerned, the eldest prince said: "It's fine that Concubine Shu doesn't want to help her son. Why are you saying such things to poke at your son's heart?"

Hearing this, Concubine Shu looked up at him, stared into his eyes and said: "You have never mentioned the matter of fighting for the reserve in the past, so I didn't mention anything. Since you mentioned it today, I will talk to you properly. Talk about it."

The eldest prince had a hunch that what Concubine Shu would say next might not be what he wanted to hear.

Sure enough, I heard Concubine Shu say: "I never thought about asking you to compete for a reserve position. Your maternal grandfather's family is just a merchant. They say that scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, even imperial merchants, only have money but no power, and other The concubine’s natal family can’t compare. You don’t have to think about what kind of help your maternal grandfather’s family can give you. My mother and concubine will not allow it, and you drag the whole family down. "

The eldest prince wanted to say that although his grandfather's family was just a merchant, they were rich and could support him financially.

Besides, what do you mean by not dragging a whole family into trouble? If he succeeds, won't my grandfather's family be able to change their family?

But looking at Concubine Shu's serious face, he swallowed his words.

Then Concubine Shu continued: "I am your own mother, and I know exactly what you are like. You have dull qualifications, but you are also stubborn and arrogant. You have neither the ability to pioneer nor the virtue of being successful.

Unless your father's other sons are dead, you will never be chosen.

In this life, instead of thinking about things that don't belong to you, it's better to be a wealthy and idle person. "

As she spoke, the eldest prince's face became paler and paler: "Is this how my mother-in-law misses me?"

Concubine Shu nodded.

The eldest prince stood up suddenly and strode out of the palace without saying a word.

Concubine Shu sat on the soft couch and looked at his back with a calm expression.

Beside her, the eldest palace maid Ruyi looked worried: "Empress, are you too direct to tell His Highness this?"

Concubine Shu said: "Rather than letting him have delusional thoughts, it is better to stop his thoughts directly."

Just be afraid, even though she said it so directly, her stupid son still couldn't understand.

Or maybe he understood, but couldn't control his eager heart.

What should she do to prevent him from becoming a knife in the hands of others?

······

The next day is the nineteenth day of the first lunar month.

Lu Zhaolin's vacation is over, and he will resume his morning court today.

When he was separated from Jiang Shiying at the gate of Jingyang Palace, he was still quite uncomfortable.

In the days after the New Year, he rested in Jingyang Palace for seven or eight days in a row.

Compared to the cold Ganquan Palace, it was Jingyang Palace that gave him a somewhat "home" feeling.

He sighed secretly in his heart, the gentle countryside, the Tomb of Heroes, the ancients never deceived me.

Therefore, before boarding the royal chariot, he said to Jiang Shiying: "I just opened the seal, so I think I will be a little busy. I will come to see you after these busy days."

Jiang Shiying agreed with a smile, and then saw him boarding the chariot and going forward, then she also got on the chariot and went to Fengyi Palace to pay his respects.
