Chapter 212 Little Emperor
Jin Zekang has experienced many ups and downs and tasted the vicissitudes of life.
When his mother was favored, she was treated like a golden statue and jade by everyone. But later, when his mother's beauty faded and his love for her faded, he realized that his father was not reliable at all.
Later, his mother died and he lost his last protection. He was bullied and even lost a leg.
It can be said that at the age of only a teenager, he experienced things that others would never have in their entire lives.
The several princes who grew up before the old emperor were all a little crazy, but the manifestations of their madness were different.
After all, having a father like that can drive even the best mental qualities to collapse.
If you really think about it, it is the reckless and tyrannical Second Prince who is slightly more normal.
Jin Zekang pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger and his sinister plot was just as vicious as ever. The court officials soon saw the different side of Prince An.
Wrong, now he should be called the Regent, or the Regent who was entrusted by the late emperor with the power to depose the emperor.
Plans don't change fast enough.
He also didn't expect that the second and third brothers were so powerful and stimulated his father so much.
The power given to him by the old emperor was too great beyond his expectations, and the trust placed in him by the young emperor also exceeded his expectations.
When he helped his younger brother, it was just a small favor, but he didn't expect that the young man was grateful and kept thinking about him.
He originally had a series of small plans, but now he has too much power in his hands and it seems unnecessary.
He also felt tired after acting for such a long time.
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. He doesn't want to live with a mask anymore, so he doesn't hide his familiarity with Jiang Xinyu in front of Jin Zeyu.
Jiang Xinyu is even less likely to do that.
This girl is so crazy now, she seems to be the boss, second only to the boss.
I don't know what gave her the confidence.
But I have to say, he really fell for it.
After arguing with those ministers, it was very healing to chat with Jiang Xinyu for a while.
This person can be said to be the first person to oppose hypocrisy and internal friction.
Jiang Xinyu was sent by Xiao Yuan to the little emperor to serve as a bodyguard to guard against some ambitious concubines who might take advantage of the situation.
Especially those who have sons, they all still dream that if Jin Zeyu dies, their sons can also become emperors.
In the past, if a prince ascended the throne, it would be a done deal.
But their old emperor found a regent who could depose the emperor, which gave them hope.
These concubines not only contacted their mother's family to exert pressure on the regent, but also had no good intentions towards the new emperor.
Now the front court and the harem are both unstable, and Xiao Yuan is so busy that he is at a loss.
In order to prevent his wife from being bored and falling in love with some little wolfdog, he simply put him next to the little emperor.
Jiang Xinyu had no respect for the imperial power, but she used to think that it was not possible because of her physical strength.
I can't learn to be humble and low-key now...it's also because my strength doesn't allow it.
With Jin Zekang and Xiao Yuan as his two great backers, the little emperor was just a friend's little brother in her eyes.
There is nothing wrong with saying that.
Jin Zekang is her only close friend and sworn brother, and Jin Zeyu is just her friend's younger brother.
This little guy is especially cute and adorable, and he looks so adorable when he puts on a stern face and pretends to be a little adult.
Jiang Xinyu fell in love with him at first sight, and started kissing, hugging and lifting him up high.
Jin Zeyu had never seen such a battle before. Jiang Xinyu kissed the little emperor and made him feel uncomfortable.
After all, he is only 7 years old. No matter how precocious he is, he is still a baby who needs love.
Normally, his mother would at most wipe his sweat and pat his head to express her love, and the best compliment she could give him was to say "very good boy."
Unlike Jiang Xinyu who is so blunt, always talking about "like" and "love" and giving a kiss from time to time.
This feeling was very unfamiliar to the little emperor, and he was shocked at first.
But, surprisingly not annoying.
He likes this intense way of expressing love.
What surprised him was that Sister Yu was not only Governor Xiao's wife but also Fourth Brother's stepsister.
That was like her being his sister, and instantly made him feel closer to her.
Since having Jiang Xinyu's company, Jin Zeyu smiles more often and is no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.
Sister Yu is super powerful and has a strong sense of security. No matter if someone wants to assassinate him or the old servant who serves the Queen Mother is disrespectful to him, Sister Yu will stand up for him.
He felt that the good days now were like stolen ones, and although they were more dangerous than before, they still made him happy.
The Grand Tutor taught him the Four Books and Five Classics, his fourth brother taught him how to be a king, and his sister Yu taught him to take life and death lightly and to do what he wanted if he refused to obey.
The young emperor originally wanted to listen to his fourth brother. After all, his fourth brother was the regent, and without his fourth brother he would not have his own throne.
But after seeing that Fourth Brother and Governor Xiao didn't dare to show their teeth in front of Sister Yu, his idol changed and he became more attached to Jiang Xinyu.
For more than a month, there was unrest in the court and the harem, with those who deserved promotion being promoted and those who deserved punishment being sent to prison.
It did save a lot of trouble for the concubines to not have to move to the palace, but the eunuchs and maids in the harem had to be registered and sorted out again.
The adults were all busy, including Xiao Ling, who had long wanted to retire and return home, but he did not quit his job.
The one who had the most free time was the little emperor.
Jin Zeyu is like a little mouse that has fallen into a honey pot. Under Jiang Xinyu's teaching, he becomes more cheerful, lively and naughty.
The only discord was his mother, who had made no progress even after becoming the queen mother.
He Cairen had never thought that her son would become an emperor. When she saw the men in black breaking in and trying to snatch her child, her first reaction was to faint from fear.
When she woke up again, the sky had changed. Prince An became the Regent and her son was pushed to the throne by Prince An.
He Cairen was completely confused, like a puppet who would only move when poked.
The chief eunuch and the maid who used to be in charge of her palace affairs were relieved to see that their master was still unable to do anything.
Although her words were quite respectful, every sentence was controlled. He Cairen did not have the slightest bit of the majesty of the empress dowager.
When Xiao Ling's people came to ask her something, her first reaction was to look at her housekeeper. She just agreed with whatever they said and had no opinion of her own.
Those who can make it to the position of housekeeper in the cannibalistic imperial palace are either loyal and capable or cunning and treacherous old slaves.
Now that the master they were serving had picked up a queen mother for nothing, the old servants around He Cairen were all shaking in fear.
He used the Queen Mother as an excuse to get his way and control everything, and even instigated the Queen Mother to set rules for Jin Zeyu and make him visit him regularly every morning and evening.
This eighth prince will be the emperor in the future. He is their greatest support and he cannot be controlled by others.
The feelings grow deeper as time goes by, but fade as time goes by. Even if the little emperor is very busy, he has to be by his side every day. Otherwise, if he and the queen mother are not close, how can they get any benefit?
Of course, this is not what they said when they advised the Queen Mother. Although they spoke from the perspective of mother-son affection, every word they said was provocative.
She instigated the empress dowager to cry, make a fuss, and even hang herself, and kept the little emperor tightly by her side, as if she would no longer recognize Jin Zeyu as her biological mother if she didn't see him for a day.
When He Cairen was at home, he was afraid of his stepmother and her younger brothers and sisters.
Once they entered the palace, they were afraid of the housekeepers, the eunuchs, and the palace maids with bad tempers.
This woman has been a coward all her life. She dares not disobey anyone or talk back to anyone. She just does whatever the housekeeper teaches her.
No matter how hard her son suffered when the emperor was in mourning, she would have people call Jin Zeyu to her palace to talk every day.
The mother and son depend on each other and have a lot of affection for each other. Even though Jin Zeyu is very impatient with his mother's temper, he always comes when she calls.
But every time he went to see his mother, he would repeat the same old things over and over again.
Tell him not to offend this person or that person, and she even starts crying while saying this.
It was as if if they offended just one person, they would have no way to survive.
Well, it's very internal.
