Chapter 609 Want to take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne
Concubine Qing...actually, she also wants to know.
She, an adult, does not have so much money, and the little princess is just a baby.
"Concubine Qing, I originally wanted to promote you to be a noble concubine, but unfortunately..."
The emperor spoke with a look of regret, and Concubine Qing was delighted:
"Your Majesty, is what you just said true?"
"Hey, Concubine Qing, even if I really promote you, you can't convince the public."
"Unless you can make outstanding contributions."
Concubine Qing...outstanding contributions? How can a weak woman like her make outstanding contributions?
Unless...
Concubine Qing thought of what the emperor said just now. The emperor mentioned the money again, meaning...
let her pay some money?
Concubine Qing did not have much money in her hands, but her son did.
"Your Majesty, I understand."
Concubine Qing's eyes sparkled!
Seeing her like this, the emperor was also satisfied: "Huai'er is still very good, I like him very much."
"Let him keep working hard."
"I am very optimistic about him!" The emperor said and touched Concubine Qing's head with a smile on his face.
When Concubine Qing went back, she felt like she was in the clouds, and she walked lightly.
Unexpectedly, the emperor took the initiative to praise his son and said that he wanted to improve her position.
This is simply a pie in the sky.
Concubine Qing didn't even bother to send someone out to inform Chu Jianghuai, she decided to go there in person.
The rich brother didn't expect that he had just come out of the palace and hadn't even had a chance to breathe, and his mother came to find him again.
"Mother, why did you leave the palace?" In the past, Mother always stayed in the palace obediently and rarely came out a year.
But for two consecutive days, Mother has been out too often.
Did she change her mind?
Brother Tuhao was still very excited. Although he had agreed that if Mother did not want to go with him, he would take Yang Yuhuan and leave alone.
But he could abandon the people of his maternal grandparents, so Brother Tuhao still hoped to take Mother with him.
Concubine Qing had a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was in a very good mood today:
"Huai'er, mother wants to talk to you alone!"
The rich man turned his head and glanced at Yang Yuhuan and Yuan Baobao, and whispered: "I'll take mother to the study, you two can go back and rest first. You must be tired after a busy day!"
Running to the palace to catch ghosts and treat the emperor's illness early in the morning, how could she not be tired?
Especially Yuan Baobao, who still owed a dozen talismans to be drawn?
Yang Yuhuan took Yuan Baobao's little hand: "Okay!"
Yang Yuhuan did not take the initiative to talk to Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing's eyes flashed with a trace of displeasure. She was indeed a lowly merchant woman, without even a bit of etiquette.
How can she say that she is the mother of the Fourth Prince? As a daughter-in-law, shouldn’t Yang Yuhuan take the initiative to greet her when they meet?
After arriving at the study, Concubine Qing saw that there was no one around and expressed her dissatisfaction: "Huai'er, it's not me who said that the wife you married is really not that good. How can I say that I am your mother? Look, he didn't even raise his eyelids when he saw me! Business women are not presentable. Family background and education are very important. You can't refuse to accept it!"
The rich man looked at Concubine Qing indifferently, and after she finished speaking, he slowly asked: "Mother, your family background and education are good, but have you ever treated him well?"
"You have never even looked at her, and you haven't acknowledged her. What basis does she have to respect you?"
Concubine Qing choked, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face: "I, can I be the same? I am her mother-in-law!"
"When have you ever admitted in front of her that you are her mother-in-law?"
The rich man sneered: "Besides, before you gave birth to me, how noble was your status in the palace? You were just a powerless palace maid. Although my grandparents' family was in business, how much property did they have? Weren't you also a powerless merchant girl at that time? And the money in your family was not as much as that in Yuhuan's family!"
Concubine Qing was so angry that her eyes went dark: "You... Chu Jianghuai, is this how you look at your mother?"
Concubine Qing was almost mad to death. She knew that her previous life experience was embarrassing, but isn't she doing well now?
Besides, even if the whole world can say this and that about him, Chu Jianghuai can't, because he is her biological son.
"I'm just talking about the facts. Mother, you've been there before, too. Don't make things difficult for others!"
"If you're here to talk about Yuhuan, you're not welcome here!"
The rich man was very determined. Looking at her son with a cold face, Concubine Qing felt cold in her heart.
In fact, she knew that her son was not close to her, but after all, she had given birth to this child after ten months of pregnancy. When she really felt her son's alienation from her, Concubine Qing felt very uncomfortable.
"I... I really raised you, an ungrateful person, for nothing!"
Hearing this, the rich man couldn't help laughing: "Yes, you raised me, an ungrateful person, for nothing! If it weren't for me, you would still be the most ordinary maid in the palace, and you might have been released from the palace by now! How could you have the luxurious life you have now? Your family is still an ordinary businessman, and you might have squandered all your property in recent years, and it's not the same to be an ordinary person!"
Concubine Qing was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Now, she finally discovered one thing, that her son didn't look down on her family at all.
But... her son was not like this before.
Her son was very nice to the people in his maternal grandparents' family. Even if the people in his maternal grandparents' family got into trouble, her son would help them deal with it without getting tired of it.
Although Concubine Qing didn't want to admit it, she had to say that without the help of her son, her family would never have developed to its current size.
The worst thing was that they had gotten along very well before, but because her son went to Daqian and married the so-called Yang Yuhuan, he became estranged from them.
He even wanted to take her away from here.
How could Concubine Qing allow it? Thinking of what the emperor said to her not long ago, Concubine Qing would never give up the glory and wealth before her eyes.
"Huai'er, I know you've worked hard these years. Your grandfather and uncle are very grateful to you, but these things are mutual. When you need it in the future, they will help you without hesitation!"
The rich brother raised his lips, thinking of what his uncle did. Help? Is it a hindrance?
"Huai'er, it's not that mother doesn't want to leave with you, but now is really not a good time to leave! You also know the situation in the palace. Your brother, the crown prince, has made a serious mistake. The emperor's attitude towards the queen has also changed greatly. It's been such a long time, and the emperor is too lazy to even see the queen, and even confined him. Huai'er, this is a good opportunity for us!"
