After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

I don't know why the sage suddenly found out his conscience again, thinking of the third prince who was first used by him and then abandoned by him in anger.

Anyway, it was his imperial decree that brought the third prince's eldest son, Tu Bin, into the palace, to accompany the grandson to read it.

When the imperial decree arrived, the third prince was holding his son and teaching him to draw red.

After he let go of the emotional dispute with the prince, he slowly let go of himself.

At this time, he suddenly realized that the momentary indignation he had when he was young could be said to have ruined his wife's life.

If he hadn't fought for that moment, Mrs. Ma would have entered the East Palace long ago and became the prince's side concubine.Although there is a prince concubine on top, it is ten times stronger than the discord between husband and wife today;

If, after he made a plan to seize Ma Shi back then, he would not have vented his anger on her for those unwarranted shame and anger.Then they can at least respect each other like guests, instead of respecting each other like ice like they do now.

But there is never an if in this world.

This result has already been caused, and he finally dared to admit that it was his fault.

However, the saying "knowing mistakes can be corrected, nothing good is good" is easy to say, but not easy to do.

He and his wife Ma Shi have been at odds for so many years, and suddenly telling him to give in first, it is really more uncomfortable than letting him take off his clothes and rush to the city.

But if he can't ease the relationship with Mrs. Ma and let her spend the rest of her life in the same state of mind and environment that it is better to have a husband and a son-in-law, he will not be able to pass the test in his heart.

At this time, the third prince should be rejoicing: fortunately, they still have a son.

When he was fishing by the pond that day, he had someone lure his son-in-law, Tu Bin, there on purpose.

He thought, even if they really had nothing to say, with their son as a buffer, at least they would not be so awkward with each other.

So, after taking his son to finish his addiction to fishing that day, he hugged his son who was so tired that he fell asleep, and sent him back to the main courtyard.

Ma Shi had heard the news early in the morning, but obviously did not expect that he would come with his son.

After being stunned for a moment, Mrs. Ma gave a blessing ceremony indifferently, and asked: "Does the lord have something to tell my concubine?"

It was obvious that he didn't want to see him, and he didn't want to keep him, and the moment he opened his mouth, he pulled the atmosphere to the embarrassing side.

Fortunately, this kind of thing happened to the third prince not once or twice.It's just that in the past, he just walked away with the trend, and naturally he didn't have to face the embarrassment that followed.

But before he came today, he was fully prepared mentally.If this breath is vented, it will really be a waste of all previous efforts.

He took a deep breath, pretending that he didn't hear Ma Shi's intention of chasing the guest, and smiled as he passed the disciple Bin in his arms forward: "Bin'er is tired from playing, I'll take him back."

"My lord, give it to me." Mrs. Ma wanted to reach out to pick it up, but the third prince turned sideways to avoid it, and said, "He's such a heavy piece of flesh, how can the wangfei hug him, let me do it."

Now, Mrs. Ma can see that this person is very abnormal today.

Seeing that after the third prince put Tu Bin on the couch in the inner room, he found a place to sit down on his own, obviously reluctant to leave, and wanted to stay, the mother around Madam Ma seemed to be happy for something.

But Mrs. Ma felt weird, and wondered if he was going to make something wrong again.

She thought about the recent events carefully, and her face darkened, "I'll send two bolts of soft cigarettes to Mrs. Du's place tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it, my lord."

Du Shi?

The third prince was stunned: What's the matter with Mrs. Du?

Mrs. Ma frowned: Isn't it because of Mrs. Du?It must be the Huang family.

"Seeing that it's almost the beginning of winter, the Huang family still needs to use ice. There is really no such case in the mansion. If the prince has some, you can allocate it to her yourself."

There was impatience on Ma Shi's face, and he almost didn't say a word: If you have something to talk about, if you have nothing to do, get out!

The third prince was furious and was about to walk away, but thinking about the reason why Ma Shi didn't like him so much, it was all done by himself.

So he endured it.

"The affairs of the back house should be decided by the princess. If Mrs. Du and the others are restless, the princess can just clean it up."

What he said was very sincere, but with Ma Shi, his reputation has gone bankrupt.

Mrs. Ma just glanced at him indifferently, and the corner of her mouth twitched disdainfully, "They all gave birth to the prince, and they are the heroes of the mansion. If you don't clean it up, it will make your brothers and sisters look bad. "

This is what the third prince said most often when he excused the concubine in the past.Now, these words were returned to him by Ma Shi without change, which really made him extremely ashamed and embarrassed.

He couldn't sit still any longer, so he said with restraint: "My lord still has business to deal with." He left in a hurry. "

After he left, Ma's mother advised: "Wangfei, seeing that the prince is about to change his mind, what are you angry with him?"

"Changing your mind?" Mrs. Ma seemed to have heard a joke, raised her slender eyebrows, and asked, "Then mother, do you believe this?"

The nanny showed a look of embarrassment.

Three feet frozen, not a cold day.

The nanny watched helplessly as the husband and wife grew farther and farther from being close at first.

If she wants to believe that the prince, who has been throwing face at the princess since he was newly married, suddenly found out that the princess is good, it is better to let her believe that sows can climb trees.

But the next performance of the third prince made the nanny doubt: Is it possible that there are really sows that can climb trees in this world?

From every now and then to every day reporting, the third prince himself made the transition very naturally.Even though Ma Shi didn't want to talk to him, he didn't want his son to feel that his parents were at odds.

Therefore, whenever Tu Bin was present, Ma Shi's expression softened, and he no longer used choking as the main way of expression when talking to the third prince.

The third prince was very cunning, and after grasping Ma Shi's psychology, he always picked Tubin to come when he was around.

During this period, Du and Huang were not reconciled and sent people to intercept Hu.But it didn't matter Madam Ma, the third prince sent him back by himself.

"Sick? Why don't you go to see a doctor if you're sick? Why don't you know, and you can still heal yourself?"

"Appreciate the moon? What kind of moon are you appreciating in this cold day? Doesn't the charcoal in the palace cost money?"

"Prepare a little thin wine? Be bold! The Crown Prince died less than a year ago and dared to drink and have fun. Who gave her the courage? Princess, this must be severely punished!"

After a long time, seeing that his son really needed his father, Mrs. Ma secretly sighed, and finally put away a burst of spikes, and was able to live in peace with the third prince.

At this point, the third prince was completely relieved.

——For their husband and wife, being able to live in peace is already the best result.After all, it was really embarrassing for them to hate each other's existence so much that they were glued together.

As spring went and autumn came, Tu Bin also reached the age of enlightenment.

It happened that the third prince didn't have any errands, so he simply didn't send Tu Bin to study with a few concubines, but personally enlightened his son and taught him how to paint red.

Although Tu Bin is young, he is very smart. Whether it is reading or writing, he will memorize it after being taught two or three times.

Just ask: Which teacher doesn't like smart students?

The third prince loves his aunt more and more, and he pays more attention to teaching him.

However, before he had enough of teaching his son, an imperial edict descended from the sky, asking his son to accompany his grandson to study.

For a moment, Mrs. Ma lost her mind, and rarely anxiously asked the third prince's opinion: "My lord, what does the saint mean by this?"

The third prince also felt a little uncertain.

But in front of his wife and children, he always had to reassure them: "Don't worry, no matter what, Bin'er is also the grandson of the saint, and he is also a child. The saint will not do anything to Bin'er."

Ma Shi was not comforted by him.

——The sage doesn't even care about his son, let alone his grandson?

Seeing her like this, the third prince secretly sighed, and said: "It is also a good thing for us that the sage let Bin'er enter the palace to accompany him to study."

"Good thing?" Ma Shi's voice suddenly rose, and he sneered, "Why, you've only been quiet for a few days, and you're restless again? But don't try to take advantage of my Bin'er."

"Mother?"

Seeing his mother speak harshly for the first time, Tu Bin couldn't help being a little dazed.

Mrs. Ma took a deep breath, and said to Tu Bin: "Bin'er is good, let's go out to play with the nanny first." Then, he signaled the nanny to carry Tu Bin down.

Tu Bin looked at his mother with a cold face, then at his father with a helpless face, and obediently let the nurse carry him down.

After his son left, Mrs. Ma no longer had any scruples, and looked at the third prince coldly, "When you were ambitious, our mother and son never thought about being able to be in your light in the future, and now we don't have that kind of thought either. You Whoever you want to fight with is up to you, just don't get involved with my Bin'er."

"Princess, Bin'er is my son, how could I harm him?" The third prince felt helpless.

Mrs. Ma sneered and said: "The one born by Mrs. Du and Mrs. Huang is your son. You didn't pay attention to Bin'er before, and you don't need to in the future. If there is anything you need your son to do for you, you can go to Mrs. Du eldest son."

"Princess!" The third prince was annoyed, "Can't you listen to me well?"

Ma said nothing.

The third prince took a deep breath and calmed himself down, "First of all, I can tell you that since the prince passed away, I have no such thoughts."

Seeing Mrs. Ma's mocking face, it was obvious that he didn't believe it, so the third prince broke the can and broke his can, and simply expressed his secret and embarrassing thoughts, "For me, as long as the old man succeeds, it's not the prince who succeeds, but the prince It doesn't matter who!"

Ma looked at him in surprise.

The third prince said: "Since I was a child, as long as there is a prince, the sage will never see me. No matter how hard I study literature and martial arts, in the eyes of the sage, the prince is always better. I am not reconciled, They are all equally sons, how can a sage treat one more favorably than another?"

He intended to explain clearly to Mrs. Ma, but he didn't want to, and touched Mrs. Ma's sensitive nerves again, "Why, in the eyes of the prince, Bin'er is the same as your bastards?"

The third prince blurted out: "How is that possible? Bin'er is my eldest son."

Then, he couldn't help being startled, and then he was a little embarrassed.

——He suddenly remembered that the crown prince is also the eldest son of the saint.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." He quickly changed the subject, and said to Ma Shi, "I originally wanted to ask Bin'er to be crowned son, but I was worried about losing my sacred heart, and I was afraid that Bin'er would be hurt. Now, the saint It is an opportunity for Bin'er to enter the palace to study with the grandson."

"What does the lord mean, let Bin'er win the favor of the sage?" Ma Shixiu frowned, feeling that this was unreliable.

The third prince smiled and said: "How old is Bin'er? That's too difficult for him."

"Then you mean..."

"Bin'er only needs to win the favor of his grandson."

Seeing that Mrs. Ma still had doubts, the third prince said: "You just need to see how the first prince treats the sixth brother."

Mashi was relieved.

How the first prince treated the sixth prince is obvious to all.

"Then I'll pack things for Bin'er."

The third prince said: "Just clean up some that can be used now. There is a mother and concubine in the palace, and if it is short, no one can short him."

Speaking of Concubine Duan Gui, Ma Shi felt more at ease.

Compared with the third prince who made her feel worse and worse since she got married, Concubine Duan Gui is a good and reasonable mother-in-law.

Perhaps because the third prince treated Mrs. Ma too coldly, Concubine Duan Gui always felt indebted to this daughter-in-law, so she often called her into the palace to speak.In addition, Tu Bin and his grandmother are also very close.

As for those grandsons who were concubines, Concubine Duan's attitude was much colder.

Since ancient times, concubines are not as good as concubines.Anyone who messes up his parents, elders and children, surely disasters are not far away.However, the third prince was even indifferent to his son because he angered the concubine.

Concubine Duan Gui couldn't control her son, so she could only describe him from other places.

Furthermore, based on Concubine Duan Gui's understanding of saints, her son definitely has no chance to succeed to the throne.No matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, the one who is the third prince will be a prince.

The inheritance of the honorable titles of the clan has always been legal.As long as the son-in-law is alive, it is impossible for the son-in-law to succeed him.If there is no son in any family, either the adoptive son from the clan will inherit the title, or the concubine will inherit the title by downgrading three levels.

Therefore, any family with a title will protect the son of the concubine and prevent the son of the concubine from becoming ambitious.

Concubine Duan Gui's suppression of her grandsons is essentially for their own good.

Because, in the future, it must be the grandson Tubin who inherits the title.If the relationship between these grandsons and grandsons becomes too tense, they will definitely lose the protection of the palace.

And look at what kind of life those ordinary clans live?

******

Before issuing this imperial decree, the sage first discussed with the grandson.Seeing that the grandson didn't mind, he specially went to Concubine Duan's palace to communicate with Concubine Duan, and then made an order.

Therefore, before Tu Bin entered the palace, Concubine Duan Guifei packed out his house and all the things he needed.

Just like this, she still felt that it was not enough, so she ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a lot of things for children and soft fabrics, and asked the maids in her palace to rush to make a lot of new clothes according to the size of Tubin.

On the second day after receiving the imperial edict, the third prince and his wife led Tu Bin into the palace.

Then, the third prince took Tu Bin to the Qianqing Palace to meet the saint, and Mrs. Ma went to Duan Guifei's Oasis Palace to pay her respects to Duan Guifei.

On the Ganquan Palace side, it is natural that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well.Both of them were talking absent-mindedly, while worrying about the disciple Bin who was meeting the saint for the first time.

The atmosphere in Qianqing Palace is not so relaxed.

Both the saint and the grandson were there, the third prince led his son to meet the saint and the grandson respectively, the saint smiled and asked the grandson to lead his cousin to the side hall to play.

When the third prince and the first prince were separated, the grandson was still young.After the first prince passed away, the third prince lost the will to fight, and every time he saw the grandson, he was always polite and courteous.

Therefore, the grandson didn't have any hatred towards the third prince, but he was mostly curious and kind towards Tu Bin, his cousin who was five or six years younger than him.

In the past few years, there has been no baby crying in the palace, and naturally there is no prince who is as old as the grandson and wants to be.The emperor's grandsons from the East Palace are about the same age as the grandsons.

But the concubine hated the concubines, and the grandson himself didn't like those concubines who always looked at him with envy and hatred.

Like him, Tu Bin is a married couple.This alone made Taisun have a natural affection for him.

Coupled with the fact that Tu Bin was raised innocently, cutely and not unreasonably by Concubine Ma and Duan Gui, the grandson took him to play darts for a while, and he liked him even more.

As for the main hall of Qianqing Palace, after the two children left, the atmosphere became tense.

The saint didn't speak, and the third prince didn't dare to speak. He could only stand respectfully with his head down and his hands down, without giving the saint any excuse to attack.

This son made no secret of his resistance, the sage sighed secretly, and finally spoke first: "I heard that you didn't ask Bin'er for a wife?"

The third prince replied: "The knowledge of those masters may not be better than that of the minister. Anyway, the minister is now at home, so I feel more at ease teaching myself."

"Are you complaining that I took your job?"

"I dare not." The third prince paused, but still couldn't help saying, "The court has been up and down for nearly twenty years, and has been ignoring the family. Now, with the grace of the saint, I have allowed the minister to enjoy the family happiness for a few days."

That's right, he was just poking the saint's lungs, mocking his father and son's disharmony, and his husband's estrangement.

The saint was annoyed when he heard this, and almost lost his composure.

——Since the prince left, he couldn't hear these words the most.

But it was also after the prince left that he was a little more tolerant towards the third son who had once raised his hand as a pawn.

Therefore, the sage pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his words, and said earnestly, "You have rested for so long, so you have to share my worries. After a while, go to the Ministry of Rites."

The third prince lowered his head, with a mocking smile on his face, "I obey the order."

Ministry of Rites?

Oh, he couldn't help laughing.

——The sage still wants face as always.He wanted to compensate him and prevent the courtiers from despising him, but he didn't dare to put him in important departments.

However, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.If the saint wants to give it to him, he will continue.If he doesn't want to give it, then he doesn't want it.

Anyway, he has a noble title, so no matter what happens, the noble title of his family will be indispensable.

Seeing him so indifferent, the saint felt a little uncomfortable.But while it's not a taste, it's also a little reassuring.

In short, being a king and a father at the same time, the emotions are so complicated that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The sage sighed secretly, and then talked about his grandson: "You have to go on an errand, Bin'er is a concubine, so it's not easy to be pampered with a few concubines. I have already made an agreement with my grandson to call Bin'er together Son, study with Shi Nai."

This time, the third prince thanked him sincerely.
