Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 24: Mother-in-law

A palace banquet did not dissipate until Xu Shi.

In the end, Emperor Yongjia still cared about Queen Qiao's dignity and stayed in Jiaofang Palace.

Concubine Meng had a smile on her face as usual, but after returning to Yanxi Palace, her face sank. The maids around him all knew the temper of the master, and they were trembling and did not dare to say anything at will.

It wasn't until the first prince and his wife came, that Concubine Meng's face returned to a smile.

The eldest prince is the eldest son and the daughter of the woman he loves. Emperor Yongjia loves him very much. Among the princes, the eldest prince looked the most like Emperor Yongjia, with a slightly darker complexion and square eyebrows that were more than handsome.

The eldest prince concubine Liang, with a slender figure, bright eyes and white teeth, is not top-notch, but also a beauty.

"It's so late, why didn't you go back to the manor earlier to rest." Concubine Meng scolded the eldest prince with a smile.

The eldest prince drank a lot of wine tonight, his face was slightly red, and he said with a smile: "Mother and concubine always speak so wrongly, aren't you happy when you see your son?"

Concubine Meng slapped her son with a smile.

The mother and son are very affectionate and have nothing to say.

Concubine Meng did not make any detours, and asked bluntly: "I didn't have time to ask in detail before. Did you make any achievements in this battle? How is it better than the second prince?"

The eldest princess is also concerned about this issue, with a pair of beautiful eyes, Yingying stares at her husband.

The eldest prince raised his brows, showing confidence and arrogance: "I personally led the troops into battle, fought a few victories, and beheaded more than 20 levels of enemies. As for the second brother, the father ordered him to follow General Li, but he did not. Go to battle."

The Great Wei occupied half of the Central Plains. Dayan and Chu formed an alliance, so they could barely compete with Dawei. Emperor Yongjia led an army of tens of thousands to go out on an expedition to suppress a few "chaotic bandits" who could not be well-known, and he was easily captured.

The eldest prince is surrounded by hundreds of personal soldiers, as well as the elite soldiers of the Marquis of Guangping accompanying him. On the battlefield, it is not difficult to make military exploits.

General Lee is in charge of logistics. It was the first time that the Second Prince went out with the army, and he had no chance to go to the battlefield at all. On the way back, he fell off his horse and was slightly injured.

No wonder he didn't even come to the palace banquet, he was shameless!

Concubine Meng raised the corners of her mouth, and a contemptuous smile flashed in her eyes: "For the past few months, the Empress has been thinking about the safety of the second prince. I don't even think about the risks of logistics and military provision."

The eldest prince pursed her lips and laughed lightly.

Concubine Meng expressed her sullen sigh and asked casually, "I heard that the second prince was injured during his return journey. Is the injury serious?"

The eldest prince said casually: "I don't know either. After the second brother was injured, he recuperated in the carriage and stayed in the tent at night, and he refused to see anyone. I went there twice, and both were closed. It's no fun not to discuss this."

Concubine Meng said in a low voice, "He is self-consciously embarrassing, and I'm afraid you will make fun of him."

The eldest prince consciously has a broad-mindedness: "If people make mistakes, horses make mistakes. Occasionally falling off the horse is not a big deal. How could I make fun of him."

Concubine Meng's eyes flickered and she said meaningfully: "The heart is separated from the belly. Of course you don't know what he is thinking."

Mother and son looked at each other and didn't say any more.

Emperor Yongjia was in his prime and often led troops to fight. The ministers wisely did not mention the matter of establishing the reserve, and Emperor Yongjia had no intention of establishing the reserve at all.

Several princes, on the surface, get along fairly well.

But as the princes grow up day by day, the people in the palace are moved, and the battle for the throne is a matter of time.

The eldest prince concubine Liang said softly: "It's getting late, mother-in-law should rest earlier! Daughter-in-law will come back tomorrow to greet mother-in-law."

Concubine Meng's smile faded, and she gave a lukewarm hum.

The Liang family is the direct daughter of General Liang Da, and in terms of identity, she is also worthy of the eldest prince concubine.

However, the Great Wei Dynasty was only eight years old, and Concubine Meng and Emperor Yongjia grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The origins of the identities of the generals of the Great Wei Dynasty are very clear.

General Liang was the personal soldier of Emperor Yongjia and once blocked arrows for his master. Emperor Yongjia was grateful for General Liang's loyalty and made him his own commander-in-chief.

When Emperor Yongjia was enthroned as emperor, General Liang became the general of the Imperial Guard and took on the important task of guarding the palace city.

The daughter of a mud-legged guard turned out to be his daughter-in-law. How could Concubine Meng be satisfied?

However, the mud-legged guard has now become a fiery general of the Imperial Guard, a confidant of the emperor, who holds military power. This marriage was also decided by Emperor Yongjia himself. No matter how unhappy Concubine Meng was, she would have to hold her nose to recognize it.

In front of people, I have to pretend to praise my daughter-in-law for being respectful and filial.

Humph!

The eldest princess just pretended not to see her mother-in-law's disdainful eyes, and said goodbye respectfully. When he got up, he quietly leaned towards the eldest prince.

The eldest prince took his wife's hand affectionately, and scratched his fingertips in the tender palm.

The husband and wife have been separated for a long time, and their hearts are hot. The eldest princess glanced at her husband shyly and timidly.

Concubine Meng: "..."

I married my wife and forgot my mother's bastard!

Concubine Meng became angry when she saw her son's unpromising virtue, and waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, leave the palace and go home soon!" Don't get in the way of her here.

The eldest prince did not notice the dark waves between his mother-in-law and his daughter-in-law, and happily took the eldest prince's concubine's hand and left~IndoMTL.com~ Meng Guifei glared at the back of her daughter-in-law, and couldn't help but snorted from her nose .

…

In the Chengqian Palace, there is silence and tranquility.

A handsome 17- or 18-year-old servant walked to the door quietly and knocked lightly: "Your Highness, it's time to drink the medicine."

This is the second prince's bedroom. This handsome and lovable round-faced waiter, called Xiaoxi, usually serves the second prince's clothing, food, and daily life.

In the past few days, the master is in a bad mood and is not happy to talk to people.

Xiaoxi also served with extra caution.

After a while, a voice came from inside the door: "Put the medicine away first!"

This voice is warm and pleasant to the ear.

All princes have different temperaments. The eldest prince is the most favored, and his temperament is also the most direct.

The third prince's biological mother was born from a humble background, and he was not considered favored. Although both civil and military are outstanding, he usually speaks and acts very low-key.

The Fourth Prince is smooth and lovable in his speech.

The fifth prince is young and mediocre everywhere. The only thing better than the brothers is the appetite.

The second prince is different from them all.

The second prince's family is a famous scholar, and Queen Qiao is dignified, elegant and self-controlled.

I have a great memory and never forget it. Full of poetry and books, full of economics. Treat people modestly, like a gentleman.

Unfortunately, Emperor Yongjia, who rode to conquer the world, did not like such a son.

Xiaoxi gently opened the door and put the medicine bowl on the table. Then, bow your head and step back. When he was about to go out, he looked up at the master.

The light of the candle flame cast a faint layer of light and shadow on the second prince's face. He couldn't see his face, only those eyes that were deep and unpredictable.
