Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 104: Storm (3)
Emperor Yongjia first went to Jiaofang Palace, then to Shouning Palace. Immediately afterwards, Concubine Qin and her son were sentenced to return to the palace for confinement and self-reflection.
Those with better information in the palace knew that Emperor Yongjia was furious because of the dowry.
The eldest prince was quite filial and immediately entered the palace, wanting to comfort Emperor Yongjia. But he was stopped by Concubine Meng.
Concubine Meng was idle and had nothing to do, so the palace staff smashed bright impatiens, and her nails were dyed red.
While admiring her slender hands, Concubine Meng said slowly: "It's none of your business, what are you anxious about. Besides, your father is so angry that no one can persuade him. You just go. Now, I was scolded and sprayed in vain. Why bother moving forward."
The eldest prince frowned, and his expression was very similar to that of Emperor Yongjia: "My father is angry and unhappy, as a son, I can't share my worries for the father, I just let the father show his bad anger and express one or two. , is also good."
Turn around and leave.
Meng Guifei glanced over and said, "Stop!"
The eldest prince paused.
Concubine Meng Gui's voice was cold: "Your grandmother's eccentricity is almost in the creak's nest. That's why she can do such ridiculous things. Concubine Qin, mother and son, don't know what to do. How much benefit did your grandmother get. Usually, your father looks at your grandmother's face and doesn't care about it."
"Your father is angry today because your grandmother's actions annoyed the Lu family and the Meng family in one fell swoop."
"The king of Xingyang loves his daughter like his life, so how could he not enter the palace to support his daughter. Your uncle also cherishes Yunluo very much, and he gave the Meng family the least betrothal gift. The Meng family has lost face, you nephew, Don't you feel sorry for your uncle and cousin?"
Concubine Meng was actually full of anger. Most of her previous leisurely appearance was faked. Speaking of excitement, he slammed the table.
Concubine Meng, who was born in the general gate, also had some martial arts skills when she was young. Over the years, he has been pampered, and his martial arts have been abandoned, but the foundation is still there.
With a slap, the coffee table shook.
Concubine Meng Gui Ran stood up suddenly, with anger flashing in her eyes: "That grandmother of yours has no one else in her eyes except her mother's family. When you got engaged, she didn't care about her. When she came to the fourth prince, she was willing to take her private life away. The good stuff from Curry has moved out!"
Something is nothing.
It's just so hard to calm down!
They are all the princes of the Heavenly family, and it is really annoying that the Queen Mother Zhao praises the fourth princes like this!
When Concubine Meng was angry, the eldest prince immediately walked over to his mother and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be annoyed, concubine. The grandmother has always had such a temper, and I have long been used to it. Anyway, the royal father loves me the most. No matter how much the grandmother lifts up the fourth brother, she will not be able to surpass me."
Let alone the fourth prince, the second prince and the third prince are not as good as his father.
The son who is favored by his father has a different confidence.
Concubine Meng's anger calmed down a little, and she stretched out her hand to straighten the collar of the eldest prince: "What you said makes sense, I just can't swallow this breath."
After a pause, he said: "You want to go to the Wenhua Palace, wait until it gets dark. When you get there, don't mention the dowry. It can't be said that your grandmother or queen is not. Just accompany your father. The emperor said some gossip for entertainment."
It has been a long-standing pet for twenty years, and it is not enough to rely on the affection of young people. Concubine Meng Gui had a thorough understanding of Emperor Yongjia's temperament and gave the eldest prince a detailed guide.
The First Prince nodded in response.
Meng Guifei said: "Since you are here, you will accompany your mother and concubine to dinner tonight."
The eldest prince deserves to be very refreshing: "Okay. I'll send someone out of the palace and bring the Liang family into the palace together."
Meng Guifei: "..."
Meng Guifei's head hurts a little, and she said angrily: "We mother and son eat together, let her do what. You don't have to call her."
"Mother concubine," the eldest prince was also a little helpless: "The Liang family is the son's daughter-in-law. As soon as the father and the emperor go to war, the son will accompany him on the expedition. , why does the concubine just dislike her?"
Why is this!
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. It's normal to see each other differently.
What's more, Concubine Meng didn't look down on the Liang family from the bottom of her heart, and she also had some criticisms of the Liang family. She opened her mouth and said: "The Liang family will pretend to be in front of you. If she is really filial and considerate, how can I not like her? Respectfully. The closeness is all pretended, and I don’t know what to think of me in my heart.”
The eldest prince wanted to persuade him to make peace again, but Concubine Meng glared at him again: "If you mention the Liang family again, you will leave immediately. I don't care if you accompany you to have dinner together."
The eldest prince touched his nose and remained silent.
Only then did Concubine Meng regain her smile, and took her son's hand affectionately to the dining room. After dinner, the eldest prince went to the Wenhua Hall and, following the instructions of Concubine Meng Gui, carefully accompanied Emperor Yongjia without gossiping.
……
In the Yihua Palace, two brothers, Li Hao and Li Chang, were dining with Su Zhaorong.
My son's engagement is a happy event, but the dowry thing is too bad. Su Zhaorong took a few bites at will, then put down his chopsticks and sighed.
Li Chang asked with concern: "Why doesn't my mother eat it? Is the food tonight unappetizing?"
Su Zhaorong sighed: "When I think about today's events, I don't have the mood to eat."
Li Chang was about to open his mouth to comfort his mother, when Li Hao's voice faintly entered his ears: "Today's events are good for me."
How can being ignored and humiliated be a good thing?
Li Chang was stunned, and looked at Li Hao together with Su Zhaorong.
Under the bright candlelight, Li Haojun's face was calm and his eyes were deep: "It's not a matter of a day or two that the emperor's grandmother is partial to the fourth brother. In the past, the father and the emperor turned one eye and closed one eye, and the right should not know. It's not the one who can't arrange the royal grandmother."
"This time, the imperial grandmother did something wrong and sent an extra dowry gift to the Marquis of Puyang Mansion. The imperial grandmother thought it was to support the fourth brother and give the Zhao family face, which made the empress look ugly, but what angered the empress was The Lu family and the Meng family are the one who angers the emperor."
"The emperor went to Jiaofang Palace~IndoMTL.com~ and had a bad fight with the queen. He went to Shouning Palace again and punished Concubine Qin's mother and son. In the future, if the imperial grandmother wants to favor the fourth younger brother, she will have to weigh it. This is a good thing for me."
"Furthermore, the grievances I have suffered will be seen by the emperor, and will pity me even more in the future. Isn't this a good thing?"
It turns out, you can still think so!
Isn't this... deceiving yourself!
Li Chang opened his mouth, but in the end he closed it and said nothing.
Su Zhaorong wasn't so easy to fool, and her eyes quickly turned red: "Ahao, it doesn't matter how they humiliate me. But today's offer of employment, you are already inferior to the second prince. As soon as your grandmother makes a move, The fourth prince is also better than you. They are bullying our mother and son, and they are helpless in the palace."
As he spoke, tears fell.
Li Hao handed the handkerchief to his mother to wipe the tears, and said lightly: "This is also true, isn't the mother used to it long ago?"
Su Zhaorong: "..."
