In the past, this neck was not so bare. There was a white jade Guanyin pendant on it. Whenever Ah Chou bent down, the pendant would fall out from the collar. Especially when Ah Chou went to bed to apply medicine on him, the pendant would dangle in front of his eyes. It was very beautiful.
"Why are you always looking at me?!" Suddenly, the girl who had been stared at turned around and glared at him fiercely.
"How could I look at you?" He was guilty. He turned his head away and saw two black stones at his feet. He paused. He bent down and picked up the two stones.
…
The New Year is approaching, and he has to prepare a gift for his sweetheart.
No matter how cheap or shabby it is, his sweetheart will never despise it.
Zhong Mingwei thought about the girl's smile with her hands covering her mouth. He couldn't help but curl his lips as well. He then began to grind the small black stone in his hand.
September 9th, the 32nd year of Jiasheng
The capital.
Zhongcui Palace.
"Mother, I heard when I first entered the palace that the Yanxi Palace is very lively." The second prince Zhong Ming'e smiled as soon as he came in. "The temper of Concubine Zhao is getting worse and worse. She can't even care about my father's thoughts."
"It was just morning today. His Majesty promoted Concubine Hui to Concubine Hui. How could a jealous Concubine Zhao not get angry? If she could really hold it in, I would be puzzled," Concubine Shu pursed her lips sarcastically, and stretched out her hand to pull her son into the warm room to sit down. She personally poured a cup of tea for her son and said, "I heard that she made a scene a few days ago. Fortunately, the third prince came to the palace and coaxed her. But this time, unfortunately, the third prince went out of the capital to do business, and there was no one to coax her, so she just ignored it."
"Let her make a scene. Father is watching and listening. Why would he care about us?" Zhong Ming'e sneered. He took a sip of tea and said to Concubine Shu, "I despise Concubine Zhao the most for always being jealous. She is so old, but she is always jealous of concubines who are ten or twenty years younger than her. She makes a scene every now and then. It's hard for father to tolerate her for so many years."
"It would have been fine in the past, but Concubine Hui is already 32 years old, only eight years younger than Concubine Zhao, and she is of such a humble origin, so Concubine Zhao is naturally furious," Concubine Shu said slowly, looking at Zhong Ming'e, "Not to mention Concubine Zhao, even I am jealous. I don't know what has possessed His Majesty to dote on a crude palace maid like this. It seems like he is possessed. It is really shocking."
"No matter what her background is, my son thinks that the sudden appearance of this noble lady Hui is a good thing." Zhong Ming'e curled his lips slightly. Zhong Ming'e was not as imposing as Zhong Mingwei, nor as handsome as Zhong Mingzheng. He was born with a slender figure and a delicate appearance. Among all the princes, he was naturally not the most outstanding, but with such a faint smile, there was also a sense of elegance.
"Good news?" Concubine Shu was startled and put down the teacup in her hand. "Tell me, what's good about it?"
"Mother, you are wise. You know how Concubine Zhao flaunts her power in the harem. Relying on her powerful family and two sons, even though father is unhappy, he still dotes on her for so many years. This year, the deposed crown prince was demoted to a commoner, and the two backers of the Eastern Palace, Right Prime Minister Duan Chenghong and Grand Tutor Ding Yunwen, fell from power. The Zhao family has become even more powerful. In the first half of the year, there were calls for the establishment of a queen. In the second half of the year, there are not only calls for the establishment of a queen, but also calls for the establishment of a crown prince. Mother, this is not a good thing," Zhong Ming'e said slowly, taking a sip of tea, and continued, "At this critical juncture, someone should point out the mistakes of the Zhao family. Otherwise, if father gets confused and even thinks of establishing the third prince as the crown prince, that would be a bad thing."
