Chapter 60 The Prince Consort is Cheating

"But Qin'er..."

Having said that, the eldest princess looked up at the Queen Mother.

"Qian'er has been raised by grandma since he was little. When he was brought here, he was already unfamiliar with her."

Bei Jingchu didn't quite understand. Princess Guangde was the emperor's daughter, but she was very cowardly.

Her mother-in-law loved her eldest grandson and wanted to take her child to raise. Princess Guangde didn't even struggle and agreed directly.

Then the old woman of the Zhao family died, and Zhao Qin was returned to her. However, she disliked that her eldest son was not raised by her, and was not as close to her as her youngest son...

Bei Jingchu: [Whose fault is it that we are unfamiliar with each other? ]

[When he was a child, he was taken away by your mother-in-law. Was he able to make his own decisions and resist at that time? ]

【But you can refuse, and it is easy to refuse. 】

[That's right, I calculated that you are a coward and will not refuse to change to another princess, and dare to ask her to take away her newborn baby. ]

【Others can just peel off the skin of that shameless thing. 】

[So you are a coward, but you are not a coward when facing your own son, so you become arrogant? ]

[I am really impressed...]

The Queen Mother only found it adorable as she listened to her eldest granddaughter's endless scolding filled with righteous indignation.

She was not so excited. At her age, she had seen a lot of storms and a lot of mentally ill people.

I just feel a little uncomfortable with the fact that someone close to me has an abnormal brain.

"I can see that the child wants to be close to you. You just need to be patient with him."

Princess Guangde subconsciously retorted: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't do it."

"I want to be nice to him, but as soon as I see him doing something wrong, I can't help but get angry."

"It's not that I want to, I just can't help it."

Her cunning defense failed to convince the Queen Mother, nor did it convince Bei Jingchu.

[Can't stand it? Then how can you stand it with your mother-in-law? You can stand it with outsiders, even servants, but you can't stand it with your eldest son.]

[Isn't it because you know that this child gives you whatever you ask for, is obedient, and truly loves his mother? ]

[In the final analysis, it's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. You finally found someone weaker than you, and now you finally have a punching bag, right? 】

[It’s so annoying. There are weird things every year, but this year there are especially many. ]

The eldest princess also pointed out another reason why she disliked Zhao Qin.

"That child looks like the prince consort. I haven't told my mother about this for a long time."

"The prince consort secretly kept a mistress from me. I feel uncomfortable whenever I see his face. I look exactly like him."

"When I see Qin'er, I think of the disgusting look of the Prince Consort. I really can't love him as much as I do Yu'er."

After saying this, the eldest princess still hoped to be praised and have the Queen Mother say that she was sensible.

When she discovered that her husband was doing something wrong, she endured it alone and did not cause trouble for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

What a filial daughter, what a sensible sister~

But, the Queen Mother: "Why don't you say it?"

"The prince consort has a concubine. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

"You can't handle it yourself, and you're hiding it from me and the emperor. Not only are you a coward, but you're also self-righteous!"

The eldest princess was confused. Shouldn't she be praised for being sensible?

Why are you starting to scold her?

There were footsteps outside, and the golden dragon pattern on the black brocade came into view.

"It's really strange. Guangde has always been well-behaved, but one day he made my mother angry. Did he learn this from me?"

Queen Mother, Bei Jingchu: ...You are very self-aware.

The Queen Mother didn't want to talk to these two rebellious sons anymore. She raised her chin slightly towards the eldest princess and said, "Let her tell you."

"Listen to what she's hiding from us."

The eldest princess talked about how her husband had a mistress and how she had endured the grievances.

The emperor's expression gradually became solemn.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

The eldest princess' voice gradually lost confidence: "Aren't these just trivial household matters? My brother is busy with many things every day, how can he spare the time to take care of my affairs?"

"Ha." The emperor sneered.

"You can be self-deprecating, but you were born into the royal family. You are the eldest princess of the Bei family."

"Your indulgence will make other princes-in-law think that the princess can trample on her at will!"

Princess Guangde looked at the Queen Mother helplessly; she had not expected such consequences.

but……

"Brother, are you going to punish the prince consort?"

"No, he is Yu'er's biological father."

"If Yu'er knew that he was punished because of my complaint, she would blame me."

The emperor didn't understand why the child was punished by his uncle because his father hurt his mother, and then blamed the mother?

So what is this kind of kid doing here?

Wouldn't it be better to just give him a beating?

If he still doesn't wake up after one beating, beat him twice.

So he didn't care about Princess Guangde's wishes at all.

He didn't do it just for her, he did it for all the princesses.

Previous emperors did not have a strong centralized authority, and much of the power fell into the hands of outsiders.

Even at the founding of the country, the prestige of the aristocratic families was higher than that of the royal family.

Even the emperor has to consider the opinions of the aristocratic families.

To the young men in the palace, women from the five surnames were more popular than princesses.

As for the son-in-law, the emperor wanted to win over the noble families, so he chose the sons-in-law from the noble families.

Therefore, the princess’ status after marriage was not very good.

This phenomenon has continued until the current emperor ascended the throne.

At the beginning of his reign, he massacred several aristocratic families. At that time, half of the eastern part of the capital was empty. People with a sensitive nose could smell the faint smell of blood while walking on the street.

The meticulous writing of historical books and the spread of fame are all in the hands of the pens of men of letters and poets.

This affected the interests of the nobles, so Beheng was portrayed as a tyrant in their writings.

But at the same time, no noble family dared to challenge the tyrant's majesty.

With these princes-in-law around, they became more restrained and did not dare to make conflicts with the princesses public.

The emperor wants to punish someone and rectify the atmosphere, but he can't cut off his head just because he scolded your sister, right?

That would really be a tyrant.

but……

What? You said someone scolded his eldest daughter. What should he do?

Emperor: Hello, please call me tyrant.

Just when I feel sleepy, I send you a pillow. How dare the prince consort keep a mistress?

Since you can't control your lower body, then forget about it.

When they arrived at the place where the prince consort kept his mistress, the eunuch brought the emperor's edict and his men and went directly to the house to arrest her.

…

dream garden.

The prince consort was having an affair with his mistress.

The concubine was a little anxious: "Master, you haven't been back to the princess's mansion for a long time."

"If the princess knew about this, would she be angry?"

The prince consort hugged his concubine and kissed her again, saying nonchalantly, "A married woman should obey her husband, so what if she is the eldest princess?"

"The eldest princess must also be virtuous, generous, and follow the three obediences and four virtues."

"She is such a jealous woman. I wanted to give you the status of a concubine, but she refused to let you go."

"I'm sorry to have wronged you, Miss Huai."

Huai Niang wanted to avoid him, but she didn't dare to move too much, for fear that he would notice.

She was given to Prince Consort Zhao as a gift. She was like a floating duckweed and dared not resist anywhere.

"A princess is a princess after all. I heard that she entered the palace today."

"It would be bad if she reported this to the Saint."

When the prince consort saw the beauty dodging, he thought she was playing with him shyly.

He immediately grabbed the person and said, "Don't be afraid, my dear. That yellow-faced woman comes to the palace several times every month, but she dares not tell anyone, right?"

"Your Majesty, can you do anything to us just because of this little family matter?"

"The Emperor is also a man. Even if he knows, he will understand me."
