Chapter 319: Sadomasochism (Part 24)
"Dong Lang, you are dressed so neatly, are you going to leave the palace?"
Emperor Qing looked at his beloved son with a smile.
For some reason, Emperor Qing felt that Lao Jiu seemed to have become more handsome after returning from Feng Dynasty.
In the past, he was a handsome and noble young man.
Today, her original appearance has become even more refined.
What about Wei Jie and Pan An? They are probably just like our own Dong Lang.
Emperor Qing did not suspect that the Ninth Prince had been replaced. Although he became more handsome, it was not just a change of face.
It's like a refinement on the original basis.
Anyone familiar with him would know at a glance that this was the Ninth Prince.
In addition, although the Ninth Prince had "lost his memory", some of his living habits, hobbies, and small movements had not changed.
After returning to the palace, Emperor Qing had secretly tested her several times -
The Ninth Prince doesn’t like fish, and this Prince doesn’t like it either; the Ninth Prince likes sweets, but for various reasons he can’t show it openly, so he always hides and eats them secretly. But this Prince, when he “accidentally” eats dessert, his eyes also smile.
The Ninth Prince...
Various details indicate that this person is the Ninth Prince.
In addition to Emperor Qing, the other princes also conducted tests openly or covertly.
On the first day Gu Qingcheng returned to the palace, Emperor Qing held a small family dinner.
Firstly, Gu Qingcheng came to welcome him;
Secondly, it also allows her to get to know her brothers and relatives again.
Gu Qingcheng continued to show off his acting skills, vividly portraying a beautiful boy with amnesia.
The first one to jump out was the Fourth Prince, who was the eldest prince's younger brother from the same mother.
The eldest prince is the eldest son, and in the absence of a legitimate son, he has the greatest right of inheritance.
The eldest prince's family thought that the crown prince was a sure thing.
As a result, the ninth prince who had been kicked out to Feng Dynasty came back and was publicly referred to by Emperor Qing as "my first son."
Not to mention the eldest prince, none of the other princes could tolerate it.
The Fourth Prince, as the eldest prince's younger brother, was willful, domineering, and arrogant, and was a notoriously absurd prince in the capital.
He simply acted as the vanguard of the eldest prince's faction.
In the past, when the Ninth Prince was in the palace, he was often bullied and oppressed by the Fourth Prince.
Therefore, at the family banquet to welcome Gu Qingcheng's return, the Fourth Prince was the first to speak:
"Xiaojiu, I heard that you have amnesia? Do you really not remember anything?"
The Fourth Prince jumped in front of Gu Qingcheng like a giant monkey and looked her up and down, left and right.
Gu Qingcheng pretended to be confused, "You are——"
"Fuck! You don't even recognize me? I'm your fourth brother."
"We grew up together. Even though we are not from the same mother, we have the best relationship as brothers!"
The fourth prince deliberately lied with his eyes open.
As he spoke, he stared at Gu Qingcheng's face.
The Fourth Prince felt that if the Ninth Prince was pretending, he would definitely have some emotional fluctuations after hearing such an obvious lie.
Gu Qingcheng did have some emotional fluctuations, but it was not indignation or anger, but genuine joy.
She put her hand on the Fourth Prince's shoulder and said enthusiastically, "It turns out to be Fourth Brother! I said that when I saw you, I felt particularly close to you!"
"You said that we have the best relationship? Hehe, I believe it! Although we are from different mothers, we are both sons of the emperor. You and I should have similar interests and thoughts, so we are so close in personality!"
"Fourth brother! Good brother!!"
As Gu Qingcheng spoke, she did not forget to shake the Fourth Prince's shoulders vigorously.
Looking at her excited and affectionate appearance, it seemed as if she would hug the Fourth Prince, her "good brother", in the next second.
The Fourth Prince: ...Get lost! You are the son of a lowly slave!
The Fourth Prince was used to being willful and had established a "ridiculous" personality, so he naturally refused to compromise himself.
He shook off Gu Qingcheng's hand in disdain and cursed softly, "Changsheng Temple bastard!"
The Fourth Prince's voice was not loud, but it was not the lowest either.
At least some people around heard it.
Concubine Dong's expression changed instantly.
Changsheng Temple is definitely the biggest shame in her life!
When she first married into the Wei family, within less than a year, Emperor Qing fell deeply in love with her.
Although Emperor Qing was obsessed with love, he still had a bit of rationality.
In other words, he is not so shameless that he needs a fig leaf.
So, Concubine Dong went to Changsheng Temple to become a nun on the pretext of praying for the empress dowager.
Concubine Dong did not divorce her ex-husband.
However, the effect of becoming a monk is the same. One has given up everything in the world and become a person outside the world. Marriage, family and so on can all be given up.
Concubine Dong worked as a female Taoist priest in Changsheng Temple for half a year. After her ex-husband married a woman of equal social status, she was summoned into the palace by the empress dowager for her meritorious service in praying for blessings.
First came the talented woman, then the Zhaoyi and the imperial concubine.
In just three months, she achieved her counterattack from a Taoist nun to a favorite concubine in the harem!
Concubine Dong became the number one person in the harem, but her experience was truly disgraceful.
No matter whether she was forced to do it or she did it willingly, her experience in Changsheng Temple was a stain on her life.
From Empress Yuan to ordinary palace maids, if they wanted to insult her, they didn't need to use too vicious words. Just the three words "Changsheng Temple" were enough to make Concubine Dong heartbroken and ashamed! Concubine Dong, an adult, reacted like this, not to mention Concubine Dong's son, the Ninth Prince! From childhood to adulthood, the most vicious curse he had heard was "Changsheng Temple bastard".
If the princes want to irritate the Ninth Prince, these few words are their sure-fire trick.
The Fourth Prince uttered this curse, apparently because Gu Qingcheng was too close to him, which made him feel disgusted, and he blurted it out in excitement.
After all, this was a public place, and the concubines, princes, and others mostly insulted Concubine Dong and her son in secret.
The Fourth Prince is indeed absurd, but he is not so "stupid".
On the surface, it seemed that the Fourth Prince wanted to tease the Ninth Prince but failed and was teased instead, so he became angry and spoke without restraint.
However, the Fourth Prince and everyone present knew in their hearts that this was a test.
If the Ninth Prince was pretending to have amnesia and suddenly heard the greatest humiliation of his life, he would have a subtle reaction even if he could control his emotions.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As a result, naturally, there was no result.
Not to mention that Gu Qingcheng's ability to control her emotions is incredible, even if she didn't have such strong acting skills, she wouldn't have had any reaction.
She is not the Ninth Prince. She doesn’t care about the Ninth Prince’s stain at all!
What is this Changshengguan bastard?
The real culprit is Emperor Qing.
Could it be that Concubine Dong ran to the palace and forced Emperor Qing to have sex with her?
If Concubine Dong was three points wrong, Emperor Qing was seven points wrong.
As a result, the world used the most vicious words to attack Concubine Dong, and no one dared to blame Emperor Qing! Gu Qingcheng: ...This is very double standard, okay! In addition to the gender difference, it is also because Emperor Qing is the emperor.
With a high enough status and great enough power, naturally no one dares to provoke her! Concubine Dong's biggest mistake is not that she seduced the king, but that she is too weak! If Concubine Dong had a higher birth, if her family had some power, Emperor Qing would not choose her as his true love.
And the women in the harem would not regard her as a target of attack.
Gu Qingcheng had no reaction to the Fourth Prince's insults, and even asked curiously, "Fourth brother, what did you say? What is this Changsheng Temple bastard?"
Everyone was stunned by Gu Qingcheng's reaction.
Could it be that the Ninth Prince really lost his memory?
Not only did they forget the shame of Changshengguan, but they were also able to discuss it so easily and casually.
On the contrary, Concubine Dong was in poor health.
Her son's return surprised her greatly, as if she had a "last burst of light" and suddenly she had energy and strength again.
She had been happily attending her son's welcoming banquet, but ended up being "humiliated" by the Fourth Prince before the banquet even started.
"ah!"
Concubine Dong let out a mournful scream and fainted.
"Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao!"
Emperor Qing always maintains his image of favoring Concubine Dong alone.
Of course, he really liked Concubine Dong.
At this moment, seeing my beloved concubine firstly so exhausted from shame and anger, and then screaming and fainting, my heart ached.
"How dare you! Bastard!"
"Qing Yi, you are so bold, how dare you insult your brother!"
"Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?"
"Come here, get this unfilial and unrighteous bastard Qing Yi out of here, put him under house arrest for three months, and make him copy the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times!"
Emperor Qing hugged Concubine Dong's limp body and scolded her angrily.
Plop! The fourth prince Qing Yi quickly knelt down.
The eldest and seventh princes, two brothers from the same mother, also knelt down and begged, "Father, my fourth brother did make a mistake, but he must have done it unintentionally. Please have mercy on me!"
Emperor Qing's sharp gaze swept over the eldest prince and his lips were pursed even tighter.
Although Emperor Qing values the first prince very much, he wants to train him and the second prince.
However, this does not mean that he would tolerate his two sons taking advantage of the opportunity to recruit followers and try to seize the chair under him.
This is the idea of a monarch and a father. I can give you things, but you can't take them away! In addition, Emperor Qing is over 40 years old this year. He is not young, but he is not too old either.
He still had the ambition to unify the world, but he found that his son had grown up.
As an emperor, Emperor Qing is inherently suspicious and cruel.
He has a fatherly heart towards his own son, but he is also suspicious and wary of him.
How dare the Fourth Prince insult someone in public as "Changsheng Temple bastard", who gave him the confidence? The First Prince?
Did he feel that he was about to take the throne and was sure that he would be the next emperor, so he began to have no scruples? Again, the target of Concubine Dong was set up by Emperor Qing himself.
It's his man!
He can take advantage of others, but he cannot tolerate anyone humiliating them in public.
When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner! The emperor himself was still sitting on the dragon throne in good health, but his son dared to insult his "beloved concubine" in public.
The Fourth Prince wasn't just scolding Concubine Dong and her son, he was also scolding the emperor! This was intolerable! "What? No one listens to me anymore?"
Emperor Qing did not roar, his voice was very soft.
But to the ears of the eunuchs around and the guards outside the door, it sounded like thunder.
Crash!
Several people rushed forward, not caring about the eldest prince and the others kneeling on the ground, and directly grabbed the fourth prince's arms and dragged him out...
