Consort Hui was quite open-minded. Firstly, she was older and more experienced. She advised, "After all, the Crown Prince grew up under her care since childhood. Although he is not her biological son, the bond between them is still deep. You grew up outside the palace. How can you compare to the Crown Prince?"
Although Yinzhi grew up in the palace, he was only in his early twenties and "was favored by his mother, the Empress Dowager."
Consort Hui may say she loves her son, but she's not stupid!
"Oh, my good son, what are you saying? Isn't it normal to be biased? I'm biased towards you too. Whoever's child it is, they'll love them more?"
"Besides, the Crown Prince dotes on all the children born to the Imperial Noble Consort; you know how many there are. Brother, you're incredibly close, and the Imperial Noble Consort treats her well too."
"And what about you? How often do you go to Jingren Palace to pay your respects? If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Noble Consort has the power of an Empress, if the Imperial Noble Consort were just a Consort like that mother of yours, or just a Noble Consort, you probably wouldn't even be able to find Jingren Palace to pay your respects."
Yinzhi opened his mouth, "Maybe not...". Before he could finish speaking, Consort Hui interrupted him, "Shut up."
"Let me tell you, although your mother was jealous of the Imperial Noble Consort at the beginning, she also colluded with lower-ranking concubines in the harem to oppose the Imperial Noble Consort."
But your mother knows very well what kind of person the Imperial Noble Consort is. If she were like the late Empress, the mother of the Crown Prince, you might not be able to grow up safely and healthily even after returning to the palace.
Although Yinzhi was somewhat unconvinced, he calmed down after hearing these words. He had also learned about the Crown Prince's birth mother, the late Empress, from his mother.
He also knew that there was an older brother who had not survived before him, mainly because of the late empress.
"Compared to that poisonous Empress, the Imperial Noble Consort is so much better. Although Mother doesn't like the Imperial Noble Consort, she can't lie and say she's bad."
"As for what happened today, it's fine to think about it in your heart, but you must never say it out loud, because trouble comes from the mouth."
"To have reached this level as an Imperial Noble Consort is quite virtuous."
After being bombarded by his mother, Yinzhi calmed down completely and realized that his mother was right.
How many days would it take for me to invite the Imperial Noble Consort to a meal? What kind of affection is that? Going there would just be a formality.
To be honest, there were some, but it was mostly for personal gain. The Imperial Noble Consort's estates had many valuable items, and as princesses of the royal family, they would always receive some.
As for gratitude towards the Imperial Noble Consort, yes.
But knowing today that there is such a big gap between him and the Crown Prince makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been inferior to the Crown Prince, inferior to his father, and now inferior to his mother.
It seems that whenever he is compared to the Crown Prince, he is always utterly useless.
Aside from his mother and his wife, it's likely that no one else knew about Yinzhi's unhappiness.
As for Yinzhi, he also felt a little sad in Zhongcui Palace. "His mother's family does not hold a high official position, so their help to him is limited, and their subsidies to him are even more limited."
In addition, I am fond of calligraphy and painting, which is something that costs me a lot of money. So, in reality, I live a very frugal life.
A famous painting costs a lot of money. Even though he is a prince, he can't just openly rob it.
But after learning about this, I couldn't help but wonder if the Imperial Noble Consort would also give her subsidies after her marriage, even if it wasn't as much as the Crown Prince's.
That would be great, just like my older brother. I wonder how many paintings and calligraphy he could buy with that money.
My darlings, thank you for reading and supporting me.
Thank you all for your love, support, and donations!
