After the eldest prince left, Yang Yong said worriedly, "Your Majesty, what is the intention of the Jiang family this time?".

"Heh, the Jiang family's move is not too stupid after all. Let Lu Bowen and Wen Yu cultivate their relationship first, and then expose Wen Yu's life experience in the future, so that Wen Yu won't be too excited and let people pay more attention," Zhen said.

"No." Yang Yong nodded.

Half a year later, the eldest prince began to show his brilliance in the court. Even if the second prince and the third prince jointly suppressed him, he could not conceal his brilliance. Now the second prince and the third prince are considering joining forces with Zhao Yunyu to try to suppress the eldest prince first. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunyu would not accept the offer at all, which really annoyed the second and third princes.

The Jiang family was very satisfied with the sudden brilliance of the eldest prince, but they felt heartburn when they thought that the eldest prince was not recorded in their daughter's name at all. In addition, after so many days, the noble concubine was still trapped in Chengqian Palace Not being able to come out made the General's Mansion even more anxious.

"I can't wait any longer. These days, the relationship between the eldest prince and Bo'er is getting stronger and stronger, and the time has come." The general's wife is a little impatient, and now she must quickly get the noble concubine out, so that the eldest prince will be recorded under the name of the noble concubine. As far as she knows, Wang Zhaorong's mother's family has already started to get in touch with the eldest prince, and if it was later, the eldest prince might be won over by the Wang family.

The general frowned slightly and said nothing. According to his opinion, it would be a good thing for his daughter to be locked up in Chengqian Palace by His Majesty. Although she cannot contact the outside world, her safety is at least guaranteed. In the future, if the eldest prince really ascends the throne, his daughter After all, there is a blood relationship with the eldest prince, and his daughter will be prosperous and rich in the future, but he dare not tell the general's wife what he thinks. The general's wife has been obsessed over the years, even if she does not have a daughter, she will eventually leave the eldest prince's life experience Pick it up.

The general's wife also acted extremely quickly. Within two days, she borrowed the name of Lu Bowen to invite the First Prince to the residence.

"Didn't your husband come to see me? Grandfather, grandfather, eldest uncle, you three, why are you so grand today?" The eldest prince came to the general's mansion, and was taken to a secret room by the steward of the general's mansion. The eldest prince's heart skipped a beat, Always feel like something's going to happen.

"Eldest Prince, there is a secret that has been kept for so many years. Today, you are 16 years old and you have shined in the court. It is time for you to know this secret." The general's wife said with a serious face.

The eldest prince's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face, and said, "What's the secret?".

"The mystery of your life experience" the general's wife dropped a few words.

Now the First Prince couldn't sit still, his face darkened, "What do you mean?".

"At this time, let's talk about it again 17 years ago. Back then, the imperial concubine married His Majesty for three years, but still had no heirs. At this time, the civil servants headed by the Zhang family suppressed the generals. The imperial concubine had no choice but to stabilize her position in the harem. To give the military generals of the previous dynasty a chance to breathe, they had you with others. Fortunately, the imperial concubine was lucky. Not long after she was pregnant with you, the empress empress, the empress virtuous concubine, and a concubine from that year were pregnant successively and gave birth to each other. You, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince" the general's wife said slowly, seeing the increasingly gloomy face of the eldest prince, she had already started to take this step, and she couldn't stop at this moment.

"Three years after His Majesty ascended the throne, the harem failed to have any heirs, and there were many rumors outside. Later, because the imperial concubine was pregnant with you, the harem's heirs appeared one after another. Therefore, the reason why Your Majesty has loved you so much these years is probably because you are his. The eldest son of the emperor, it’s because of breaking the rumors.” The general’s wife made three mistakes, and secretly changed the reason why the emperor favored the eldest prince these years. Even if the eldest prince broke the rumors, if his own character does not please His Majesty, even if With the blessing of breaking the rumors, I am afraid that he will not have the position in the emperor's heart now.

After listening to the general's wife, the eldest prince was silent for a long time before he raised his head, his eyes were full of hatred for the three people in the general's mansion, "You lied to me and deliberately provoked the father-son relationship between my father and me, so as to pave the way for the sixth son Is it?" Zhao Wenyu didn't believe it at all, how could such a thing be allowed to happen with the methods of the father.

"The eldest prince doesn't believe it? Why did you come to the mansion and immediately make friends with Bowen? Isn't it the reason for the father-son relationship that is in the blood? And Bowen and the eldest prince look so similar, doesn't the eldest prince have any doubts in his heart? "The general's wife followed closely.

"You lied to me. I am the son of today's emperor Zhao Rui. My name is Zhao Wenyu. I was named by my father himself. How could I be a concubine who stole someone's life?" The eldest prince stood up from the chair, Glaring at the general's wife, the whole person exploded.

The eldest prince looked at the three people in the general's mansion, he didn't believe it at all, "I know, you just said this on purpose to save the noble concubine, since the noble concubine was imprisoned, you have spent a lot of thought, you can't get away from the father , I went to the empress dowager, but the empress dowager still had no choice but to pay attention to me, fearing that I would not agree, so she provoked the father-son relationship between me and the emperor, you really have it."

"Prince, this matter is true. Facts are facts and cannot be changed. If you don't believe me, you can ask your cousin." Jiang Mingzhi stood up and calmly said to Zhao Wenyu.

Zhao Wenyu took a deep look at Jiang Mingzhi. After seeing Jiang Mingzhi a little hairy, he immediately turned around, left the secret room, and walked towards Lu Bowen's yard.

Lu Bowen's yard is still so deserted, all the servants are guarding outside the door, because Lu Bowen has the experience of running away from home, and these servants dare not stay too far even if they are facing the sun.

The door of the studio was pushed open suddenly, Lu Bowen stopped his painting hand, looked towards the door, and found that it was the eldest prince, and at this time, the eldest prince's face was extremely ugly.Lu Bowen put down the paintbrush in his hand, turned to the First Prince, and asked, "Why is the First Prince here? Why does he look so ugly today."

Zhao Wenyu didn't answer, just turned around and closed the door, then he looked around the studio, and found a carefully framed painting on the wall, it was the first time he met this person at that time, after returning to the palace, he found a lot of paintings that he had collected Let this person appreciate his famous paintings. Colleagues, among those paintings, there is a pair of his own paintings, which is this painting.

"The First Prince doesn't seem to be in a very happy mood. Is there anything I can do for you?" Lu Bowen asked.

"Sir, how long have I been with you?" Zhao Wenyu asked, looking back at the studio.

"It's been about half a year," Lu Bowen replied.

"In half a year, can two people become close friends? Can they trust each other and not deceive each other?" Zhao Wenyu asked again.

"Of course, some people, even if they don't meet each other all their lives, can become close friends just by relying on letters," Lu Bowen replied.

"In that case, can I ask you one thing, and I hope you can answer me truthfully and don't lie to me," Zhao Wenyu said.

"Naturally" Lu Bowen lowered his eyelids, his eyes were dim, making it hard to see what was going on in his mind.

"Sir, I..., am I the child born to you and the imperial concubine?" Zhao Wenyu asked with red eyes, looking at Lu Bowen.

Lu Bowen raised his eyes and looked at the First Prince, with a faint smile on his face, "Your Highness, don't joke anymore? You are the son of a dragon, how could you be the son of my cousin and my cousin, who loves His Majesty deeply?" Yizhong, even if she can't become His Majesty's queen, she still wants to enter the palace. Following His Majesty, she has no doubts about her heart for His Majesty. How could the First Prince ask such a ridiculous question? Don't say these words in the future. Let someone who cares In my ears, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the First Prince."

"Really?" Zhao Wenyu didn't believe it. The general's wife and the entire general's mansion said that he was the son of the noble concubine and the husband. Judging by their expressions, they didn't think it was a joke at all.

"Of course it's true. If you don't marry in your next life, how can you have a son as old as His Highness now?" Lu Bowen had a smile on his face, his eyes were sincere, but his hands were clenched into fists, and his fingernails were stuck in his fists. into the flesh of the palm.

Zhao Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, compared to the entire General's Mansion, he believed in Mr.

"I heard that His Highness has been shining in the court recently, have you congratulated His Highness yet?" Lu Bowen turned around, went to the tea room in a corner, and poured tea for Zhao Wenyu. At this time, his eyes were a little sad when he poured the tea , When he finished pouring the tea, his eyes returned to normal.

"I always thought that Mr. Jiyue Qingfeng ignored the government affairs, why, now he is paying attention to the government affairs." Zhao Wenyu took a sip of tea, finally relaxed a little, and was in the mood to joke.

"Occasionally, I heard two cousins ​​talk about each other, so I remembered it," Lu Bowen said with a smile.

"It turned out to be like this. Recently, my father really values ​​me more, but other emperors, my father also values ​​it, so it's not a big deal," Zhao Wenyu said.

"Your Highness is too modest, but His Highness shines in the court, and you have to be careful of those villains who are jealous of His Highness. Like today's incident, others deliberately misled His Highness's identity to achieve their own goals. Look at His Highness's emotions when he came here today. , Your Highness has been recruited?" Lu Bowen asked with concern.

"But, my grandfather and grandmother told me about it." Zhao Wenyu looked carefully into Lu Bowen's eyes, trying to see something.

Lu Bowen paused, forced a smile and said, "Does Your Highness know my background?".

Zhao Wenyu shook his head.

"It's a long way to go. When the late emperor was still there, our Lu family was considered a big family. We don't know how many scholars came out. From the previous dynasty to the time when the late emperor was here, there were more than fifty officials of the second rank and above in the Lu family. There were more than a hundred officials above. Later, when the first emperor ascended the throne, the Lu family was devastated. All adult men were beheaded, and women and their underage men were exiled to the northwest. Those who went to the northwest of the Lu family wanted to die by themselves, but those who couldn’t survive the illness died. When they arrived in the northwest, there were not many people from the Lu family.” Lu Bowen looked indifferent and talked about the situation of the Lu family.

"Later, my aunt was favored by the general. Through the general, the remaining few Lu family members settled in the northwest, which was considered stable. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The fact that the Lu family settled down in the northwest was known to the former political enemies of the Lu family. The Lu family was in trouble again. Except for my mother who took me to my aunt and survived, everyone else died. Later, my mother couldn't bear the blow and went with my father, and I was killed by my aunt. Take it and keep it."

Zhao Wenyu listened silently to Lu Bowen talking about his experience. During the period of the first emperor, the government was in a state of chaos. He had heard it from some ministers, but not many.

"I was raised by my aunt since I was a child. After my aunt gave birth to my second cousin, it was said that my body was injured and I couldn't conceive again. Later, I went through untold hardships and gave birth to the imperial concubine. In addition, my aunt already had two sons. Therefore, I love the noble concubine in every way. When I was a child, I also envied the noble concubine. Later, when I met the noble concubine when I went to the northwest, the noble concubine's heart fell on her. You should have heard how your majesty won the throne Well, at that time, His Majesty was shining in the Northwest, just like His Highness is now shining in the court, and later he was jealous, so he sued in front of the late Emperor, and the late Emperor ordered His Majesty to return to Beijing."

Zhao Wenyu shook his head, but no one had spoken to him at this time.

Lu Bowen smiled and continued: "Your Majesty naturally knew what was waiting for him when he returned to Beijing, so he brought the army in the northwest to rebel. At that time, the military power in the northwest was in the hands of the general. The general loved his daughter and was willing to follow her." At that time, His Majesty, who was not very powerful, rebelled, but you can imagine how much the son, the general, loved the imperial concubine."

When Lu Bowen said this, Zhao Wenyu's face changed instantly, and he looked at Lu Bowen and said, "You mean, my grandfather and grandmother said that I am not the son of the emperor because of the imperial concubine?".

"Otherwise, why do you say that? The general once did such a rebellious thing for the noble concubine."

Zhao Wenyu spread out on the chair. Sure enough, he was still too naive. Why the Jiang family treated him so well was because he was the son of a noble concubine, not because he was Zhao Wenyu.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir, Wen Yu understands." After Zhao Wenyu finished speaking, he wanted to leave. He didn't want to stay in the general's mansion for a moment.

"Your Highness, wait a minute." Lu Bowen called Zhao Wenyu who was about to leave, and took a jade pendant from his neck. "This jade pendant has been with me for many years. Although it is not worth the price, I hope he can bless Your Highness." Lu Bowen handed the jade pendant To Zhao Wenyu.

Zhao Wenyu finally took a look at the jade pendant, and it was indeed not a good jade, but the jade pendant carved into the shape of a safety lock is also unique. "Thank you, sir."

"Your Highness, take care," Lu Bowen said.

"Take care, sir." Zhao Wenyu put away the jade pendant, pushed open the door, and walked outside.

When the eldest prince left, Lu Bowen seemed to lose all strength. "Auntie, I have let you down in your plan for so many years." Tears rolled down the corners of Lu Bowen's eyes.

Before leaving, Zhao Wenyu glanced back at Lu Bowen's yard again, and felt that the yard was too quiet. When he built a mansion, he would definitely take Mr. Lu Bowen to his mansion.
