Only then did Yu Zhan's expression relax a little and he nodded in agreement.
He learned the truth about his father's death and knew his position in his biological parents' hearts. When the emperor returned to the capital and took power again, he did not spend much energy looking for his father's death.
Otherwise, it would be impossible that they couldn't find the prince who was stranded outside after more than ten days. They just thought that this son was not important.
Fortunately, he didn't care. Tu Yufan treated these guys like his own sons. He didn't feel that anything was missing in his life. He believed that every loss had its own gain.
......
On the second day, Yu Zhan went to visit the queens of various palaces. Although the queens and concubines did not like the inexplicable appearance of Prince Chengbi, they still pretended to be friendly and acted like gentle and considerate elders.
He went straight to Concubine Wan's Hanyue Palace. As soon as he approached the palace, he heard voices talking.
"Mother, Jialan is too naughty. She has turned the house upside down. She is like a little brat. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to get married when she grows up."
Concubine Wan scolded, "What are you talking about? Jialan is my good granddaughter. She is a princess of the county, a golden branch and jade leaf. She is afraid that she won't be able to get married. Only you, the father, will dislike her." Her tone suddenly became doting, "My little Jialan, your father dislikes you, but your grandmother doesn't. Why don't you stay in Hanyue Palace for a few more days and accompany your grandmother?"
Jialan said crisply: "Okay, Jialan likes grandma the most."
At once more laughter was heard.
Qiu Tong glanced at Yu Zhan cautiously, and always felt that the scene was a bit miserable. His Highness had been wandering in the mortal world since he was young, and after returning to the palace, his mother, the Concubine, already had a beloved little son.
The maid in charge looked at the scene, bowed, and hurried in to report to Concubine Wan. The room instantly became quiet.
"Come in." Concubine Wan's faint voice came.
Yu Zhan walked into the hall, where Concubine Wan was sitting. She was beautiful, wearing a plain palace dress with a simple hairpin on her head. She looked different from the other concubines with complicated and exquisite makeup. No wonder she was still so radiant even under the favor of Concubine Sheng.
Standing next to him was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, talking and laughing, and with a pleasant face he bowed and called "Third Brother". Beside him was a nanny holding a pretty little girl, who should be the young prince Yu Xi and Jia Lanjun.
"Empress Wan is well."
Concubine Wan's face was calm, and she said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Prince Zhan, there is no need to be polite. Although I am only a concubine, I am also your biological mother. I hope you will be careful with your words and actions in the future, respect your elder brother, and love your younger brother. The palace is different from the outside. Don't do anything out of line. If you make His Majesty unhappy, I will not bear the responsibility for you."
"Yes, I will follow your Majesty's teachings." Yu Zhan said with his head down.
Qiu Tong crawled on the ground, feeling that Concubine Wan's voice was cold and ruthless. Even an outsider like him felt a chill in his heart, and he became even more merciless towards His Royal Highness the King.
Hey, what are you thinking about? He is still a lowly eunuch, but he actually fell in love with a prince. Qiu Tong wanted to slap himself.
After listening to an hour's lecture, Concubine Wan finally stopped talking and waved her hand to let Yu Zhan leave.
From the beginning to the end, Yu Zhan never called her mother.
This time, Ye Zhan asked to go to the border in advance. In the original plot, Ye Zhan still had expectations for his parents and stayed in Beijing for a long time, but he was only treated coldly and looked down upon. Now he has already made up his mind and asked to go to the border many times. It happened that the Wu tribe had invaded recently and the border generals died on the battlefield. No military officer in the court dared to take over this position, and only Ye Zhan took the initiative to step forward.
The emperor was so angry that he directly appointed His Royal Highness the Prince of War as the general guarding the border. The Prince of War directly jumped from an ordinary prince to a general with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, responsible for guarding the border.
The other princes were all horrified. Although garrisoning the border was a hot potato, they were unwilling to let it fall into the hands of others. They just waited and watched. They didn't expect the emperor to issue an imperial decree so quickly. The emperor never jokes, and this was a foregone conclusion. Now many unfriendly eyes fell on Yu Zhan.
"Idiot! He thought the border issue was so easy to resolve. He overestimated his own abilities and thought he could help the Xixi. But he turned out to be so impulsive and unworthy of much use." Upon hearing this, Concubine Wan snorted coldly. Prince Zhan had not visited his mother since their last meeting. Although she did not like to see him, she felt unhappy when she saw him being so disrespectful to her mother.
