miscalculation

Xiao Jie's disappearance shocked the government and the public, and Emperor Yan Qi was furious, even beheading many attendants, he could not find out his whereabouts.Xiao Liang fell ill again because of excessive worry, so no one in the harem dared to mention Xiao Jie's name again.

On this day, the Eldest Prince Xiao Qian left Banlin Residence and wanted to go to Xiao Jue to visit Xiao Liang together, when he walked to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, he heard the conversation inside.

"Mother, who did you choose to be the concubine for the eldest brother?"

"When will you need to ask about this matter, your royal father will naturally choose one of the orders to grant the marriage."

"I want to see Brother Dahuang, why don't you let your minister go to look for him every time?"

"You child, your elder brother is about to move out of the palace, and you don't have to go after the wedding. He is accompanied by the concubine, so he can't be the same as when he was a child."

"Mother, I really don't understand why you don't like me being with Big Brother so much."

"Jueer, you should know why. I have been raising him for many years, and you have seen that my mother is very dedicated. Now that he is married, my mission is over."

The eldest son, Xiao Qian, is the eldest son, but his mother is just a court lady who works as a handyman. She was a lucky court lady when Xiao Yi was the crown prince.Xiao Qian was originally raised by Concubine Liu Hui, but he didn't want Concubine Liu Hui to die of illness, so he was raised by Concubine Ji Shu.Just because of his mother's lowliness, he missed the throne.For many years, Xiao Yi especially doted on Xiao Qian. Although Xiao Qian and Xiao Cheng were the eldest son of a concubine and the eldest son of a legitimate son, no one dared to look down on him.

But even so, Xiao Yi's attitude towards him and Xiao Cheng is the same, the seven princes, only he and Xiao Cheng are taught by Xiao Yi himself to read and write, and never refuse to pretend to others.So Xiao Qian became the thorn in the side of many concubines, Xiao Cheng was favored as a matter of course, but Xiao Qian had no backing, so he was naturally easy to bully.These years, Concubine Ji Shu, as his adoptive mother, has been intimate in the open, but in fact she doesn't care about it, after all Xiao Yi has never treated Xiao Jue as well as he has treated him.

Xiao Qian didn't want to listen any more, so he walked out quietly, wandering alone for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly came to Chonghua Palace.This is the place where Xiao Yi reviewed the memorials, he stopped quickly, but saw Concubine Liu Chen waiting outside the hall, it seemed that she was delivering supper to the emperor again.

In the past few years, in the harem, there is no one more honorable than Concubine Liu Chen, even Concubine Lan Gui and Concubine Ji Shu are below her.Concubine Liu Chen is the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager. Originally, her older sister Concubine Liu Xian, according to the Empress Dowager, should be Xiao Yi's empress.However, Xiao Yi dotes on the Gu family and insists on making her the empress, titled Empress Jiayuan.It's a pity that Empress Jiayuan's beauty was unlucky, and less than a year after she was sealed, she died prematurely due to dystocia, leaving behind the second prince Xiao Cheng.

The empress dowager was vacant, and the Empress Dowager wanted to make Concubine Liu Xian the empress several times, but Xiao Yi never expected that Xiao Yi would make an oath that Emperor Yanqi would only have Jiayuan as an empress in this life, and she would never be established again.The old empress dowager was so angry that she pulled out her hairpin and scolded her severely on the spot, and then died of illness.Therefore, Xiao Yi was widely rumored to be unfilial among the people.

Concubine Liu Xian was pregnant at the time, she was depressed when she heard this, she had a miscarriage, she collapsed and died of illness.Feeling guilty towards the Liu family, Xiao Yi accepted her younger sister and made her a noble concubine in just two years, and then gave birth to the sixth prince, Xiao Yunxiang, who was named concubine Chen by Jin Dynasty.Although she is in charge of the harem, but Xiao Yi's favorite these years is Lan Fei Yin's.The most puzzling thing is that Xiao Yi actually entrusted Xiao Cheng, the son of Empress Jiayuan, to Concubine Liu Chen to raise him. He knew that Concubine Liu Xian died of illness because of Empress Jiayuan, but his actions caused discussions inside and outside the court. one after another.However, since Xiao Cheng is the eldest son, he should naturally be raised by the highest ranking concubine.

Now Concubine Liu Chen came to deliver the supper, I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not to drink, Xiao Qian frowned, then turned and left.

He left Chonghua Palace, but he didn't know where to go.A dignified prince wanders around the palace, but he can't go anywhere.After much deliberation, he decided to go to Huaiyue Palace to visit Xiao Liang, but at the gate he heard that Xiao Liang had already gone to bed, so he bid farewell and went to his bedroom, Companion Linju.

His bedroom was given the name by the emperor himself, which seemed extremely arrogant and attracted criticism, but it was bestowed by the imperial pen, and no one could do anything about it.Especially the treatment in his palace is very good, almost the same as that of Xiao Cheng.The other princes are still young, Xiao Cheng has always been upright and doesn't care at all, Xiao Jie has a hot temper and doesn't care about trivial matters, Xiao Zheng only thinks that he is the eldest brother, which is taken for granted, and Xiao Jue has been close to him since childhood, seeing how his father treats him. He is good, just happy.Only Xiao Yunxiang, although he doesn't like to talk, always opposes him and Xiao Jue.

As soon as he entered the Banlin residence, he saw a person lying on the bed. Just as the palace servants wanted to report, he waved them away.

Xiao Jue is the only one who dares to fall asleep in Banlinju without his consent.Seeing him half-reclining to fall asleep, it seems that he fell asleep when he was tired from waiting.Xiao Qian lightly took a carved fur and put it on his body, but sat at the desk and wrote.

It's just one sentence to write and write, asking how much you can worry about, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.He wrote and threw it away, threw it and wrote it again and again, but he couldn't stop.

"Brother, what are you worried about?"

Xiao Jue's voice came from behind, making Xiao Qian pause for a moment before turning around, only to see Xiao Jue looking at him seriously.

"It's nothing, just write whatever you want. Third brother, you can go back to the bedroom."

"I've been waiting for you all night, and you just give me this sentence?"

"Then... Brother, thank you for waiting, what's the matter?"

"I just wanted to come and see you. You were outside Chuxiu Palace this afternoon. Did you hear something and didn't enter?"

"Between brothers, why is this so. What's more, Concubine Shu is also my concubine mother, so it doesn't matter what you say, you can go back."

"Okay, I'll go back to the Bishui Pavilion."

After Xiao Jue finished speaking, he raised his foot and wanted to leave.He thought that the person would stop him, but he never expected that the other person would remain calm.

"Fifth brother, have you ever thought that maybe you can be the crown prince in the future, or even sit in that position?"

"Children of the royal family, who wouldn't want to."

"You are right, if I have that qualification, I should also think about it."

Xiao Qian's words made Xiao Jue turn around suddenly, and he asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just hope you can always have that qualification."

Xiao Jue stared at him, looked and looked, and said after a while, "You think so?"

"Yes."

"Do you know what I was thinking when I saw your words just now?"

"If you want to talk, I will naturally listen."

"You have just written so many times asking how much you can worry about the king. I will answer you now, only the lovesickness seems to be like □□, and the south and the north look forward to the return of the king."

Xiao Qian stood up immediately, and said anxiously: "There is no such thing as the perfect world. Rivers only flow eastward, and the spring water in the south and north of the river is the same."

"Brother, if I were a king, what else in the world would I not be able to do?" Xiao Jue said and walked out.
