Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

The three brothers of Prince Jin knelt down and bowed to Empress Dowager Yuande, wishing her a happy new year respectfully and saying many auspicious words.

Empress Dowager Yuande's face remained gloomy, and she did not show the warmth and joy she showed when facing Chu Xuanchi and his wife.

She was even unhappy, "Why did you come here by yourself? Where is my wife? But I am not worthy of them to pay New Year's greetings."

Because of the example of Chu Xuanchi and his wife, she didn't care about the "brotherly friendship" that King Jin and his two men had agreed to show.

Prince Rui couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved. He was not yet married and had no princess consort, but he couldn't have a good face because of his two royal brothers.

Chu Xuanhan hurriedly explained, "No, it was my grandson's negligence. I was in a hurry to pay New Year's greetings to the Royal Grandmother and forgot to wait for the Princess who was still in the harem."

Empress Dowager Yuande was not satisfied with this reason. Mo Zhaohua also went to the harem to pay a visit to Empress Jingren, but he also came to Shoukang Palace.

She became more and more displeased, "How can Sixth Brother be so careless? Now that you are married, when you go to see your mother, don't forget to bring Princess Qi with you."

In the past, she thought Chu Xuanhan was a good child, with a gentle temperament, not fighting or competing, filial to his elders, and well-mannered.

Ever since Mo Zhaohua told her about Chu Xuanhan's ambition and his desire to use the Fuguo Mansion, she has disliked him no matter what.

Emperor Wenzong was only a son registered under her name, but the Fuguogong Mansion was her maternal family, so she knew who she could rely on.

Chu Xuanhan actually wanted to drag her mother's family into the water to pave the way for his ambition to seize the throne. Isn't this just trying to cut off her support?

Dongling has always valued legitimate children over illegitimate children. As the empress dowager, she would not allow a illegitimate son to ascend to the throne. She only hoped that the current crown prince could ascend the throne.

Chu Xuanhan said: "My grandson is indeed not as careful as my fifth brother. Every time he enters the palace, he brings his wife with him, which makes the grandmother happy to see him."

Empress Dowager Yuande looked indifferent. "It's good to know. I'm old now, and I just want to see you two live happily together. It would be even better if you have children."

Prince Jin said flatteringly, "Grandmother, please wait a moment. Ying'er has brought the child to the palace. I will go find her now and come with them later."

Although Li Ying gave birth to a daughter, she was also the eldest granddaughter of the emperor. When the crown prince had no heir and no grandson, his daughter was the most honorable.

After Prince Jin left, Prince Rui felt even more uneasy. He also wanted to find an excuse to leave quickly, so he secretly looked at Chu Xuanhan.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Yuande looked at him and said, "Seventh child is already young, why is your mother not anxious at all, and why doesn't she ask the emperor to grant you a marriage?"

Prince Rui quickly retracted his gaze, "Mother has mentioned it several times, it is because my grandson is too playful and does not want to get married too early, and wants to play for a few more years."

Empress Dowager Yuande scolded, "What's so fun about this? Expanding the royal family is the most important thing. Look at your brothers, none of them have children."

Prince Rui lowered his head and responded in a low voice, "Grandmother Royal taught me that my grandson will consider marriage this year and strive to give birth to a son as soon as possible."

Thinking of Prince Rui's childhood experience, Queen Mother Yuande's tone softened a little, "Do you have a girl you like now?"

King Rui thought she was just urging him to get married, but he didn't expect her to ask so carefully. He was flattered, after all, he had been ignored on weekdays.

A warm current surged in his heart, and his voice became lighter. "Replying to the Imperial Grandmother, not yet. Let's see what the mother thinks first."

In the end, Empress Dowager Yuande stopped asking questions and said, "Well, there are still many people waiting outside. Go and wish your mother a happy new year."

King Rui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He really couldn't hold out hope. He was only suitable to stay in a corner and be ignored forever.

Changle Palace.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua first went to see the Queen, and then came to pay a visit to Concubine De.

Although Mo Zhaohua had been there before, Chu Xuanchi had not been there, so she accompanied him there again.

Princess Jiashan knew that they would definitely come, so she went to several places with the Eighth Prince to pay New Year's greetings and then hurried back.

She had been waiting for a long time. "Fifth brother, you are so slow. Grandfather and uncle have all been here."

The family of Duke Fuguo had just left not long ago. Since they were relatives by marriage and there were men among them, it was not convenient for them to stay in the harem for long.

Mo Zhaohua first wished the De Fei a happy new year before explaining, "I'm sorry, my mother asked me to talk to my husband for a few more words."

In addition to Fengyi Palace, they also went to Fengyu Palace. Concubine Chunhui had a high status, and as juniors they had to respect her.

Concubine De scolded, "Jiashan, don't be so rude. Where have you learned any etiquette? Why don't you go and wish your brother and sister-in-law a happy new year?"

After saying that, she smiled and asked Chu Xuanchi and his wife to sit down. Her personal maid Ningxiang hurried over and poured tea and water for them.

Princess Jiashan folded her hands and bowed to them, "Jiashan wishes my brother and sister-in-law a happy new year. I wish my brother and sister-in-law peace and happiness, and may they have a son soon."

"Royal brother, Royal sister-in-law." The Eighth Prince also wished them a happy new year. Although his words were brief, his tone was extremely gentle. "Happy New Year."

Chu Xuanchi smiled naturally and gratified, "Your sister-in-law and I also wish you a happy new year and everything goes well."

The eighth prince spoke slowly, and he hadn't had time to finish his words. After he finished speaking, he continued, "May you have a son soon."

Defei was afraid that they would hurt Chu Xuanchi, "You two kids can't speak. Today is the New Year, not a wedding ceremony."

Chu Xuanchi shook his head, "It's okay, Concubine Demu, Xuanyi and Jiashan's wishes are very good, Zhaozhao and I like them very much."

Defei still didn't know that Mo Zhaohua knew medical skills. After hearing what he said, she became suspicious, but she didn't dare to ask out of consideration for his feelings.

They had just chatted for a few words when a palace maid came in to report, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian suddenly had a hysterical attack and injured His Royal Highness Prince Rui with a pair of scissors."

"What?" De Fei immediately stood up and said, "Let me go and take a look. Xian Fei hasn't had an attack in the past two years. Why did she suddenly have an attack again?"

When Concubine Xian was the Crown Prince's concubine in the Eastern Palace, she was so sad about losing her child and having no chance of getting pregnant again that she developed hysteria.

Later, her condition was under control under the treatment of the imperial physician, and when she saw Chu Xuanlin, her maternal love was aroused, so Emperor Wenzong agreed to let her adopt the child.

Who would have thought that although she seemed to be very caring towards Chu Xuanlin on the surface, she had been abusing him in private, leaving him with bruises all over his body under his clothes.

Because her mother's family was powerful and her father and brother had military achievements, the servants in her courtyard all tried to protect themselves and no one dared to speak out.

Finally, during a banquet, Chu Xuanlin suddenly fainted. The imperial physician examined him in public and discovered the truth.

Shufei had only one son and one daughter, so she took the opportunity to cry to Emperor Wenzong and went to the Empress and Crown Princess at the time for help.

In addition, the imperial physician diagnosed that Concubine Xian's hysteria was not stable and was likely to relapse, so Emperor Wenzong asked Concubine Xian to return the person.

Later, Shufei was able to be ranked among the four concubines because she entered the Eastern Palace early and gave birth to a pair of children. Chu Xuanlin also suffered this disaster.

Mo Zhaohua stood up and said, "Husband, let's go and take a look. If Prince Rui has any problems, we may be able to help."
