"Not necessarily. Mother, don't worry so much for now," Zhong Mingzheng said slowly. While gently holding Concubine Zhao's hand, he said, "We are different from the deposed prince. The deposed prince is the only legitimate son of the virtuous queen. He was raised by the queen mother, how noble he is? Moreover, the deposed prince has been taught by the imperial teacher Ding Yunwen since he was a child. He is the most famous scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is very popular among scholars. He has the support of the Xu family behind him and Ding Yunwen in front of him. How can the deposed prince be compared with ordinary princes? He became famous as soon as he entered the court, and later when he entered the East Palace, his reputation grew day by day. His reputation is far-reaching. Although my father did not say it, he must have hated and feared the deposed prince in his heart. After all, my father was only in his early forties at that time. He was at the age of dragon and tiger. How could he tolerate such a prince who usurped the throne in the court? It was also my father who could tolerate it. It took so many years to finally take action against the deposed prince. If it were me, I would definitely not tolerate it for so many years."
"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Zhao didn't understand. She frowned and said, "No matter how prominent the deposed prince was in the past, he is now just a half-dead paraplegic. Why are you praising him so much now?"
"Don't worry, mother. I said so much. I just want you to understand what kind of prince father can't tolerate," Zhong Mingzheng said slowly, taking a sip of tea, and continued, "Although father has some complaints about mother and son, how can we compare with the former abandoned prince? No matter how prominent the Zhao family is, it can't be compared with the Xu family. So although father is unhappy, he will definitely not do anything to us. As long as we try our best to keep a low profile in the future, we will naturally not offend father. Besides, father has few princes. Except for the paralyzed abandoned prince, there are only three princes in front of him. The fourth brother is only eight years old this year, and the second prince has been childless for many years. Only my son is about to have children for the royal family. So it's not that there is no big mistake. Father will not easily touch his son."
"You mean to say that the reason why the emperor agreed to send Xiao An to Ningguta was just to give us a warning?" Concubine Zhao frowned.
"What you said is absolutely right," Zhong Mingzheng nodded his head repeatedly, and added, "So from now on, I ask you to be low-key. Please calm down and let me speak frankly. Your temper is too big. It was fine in the past, but now the Zhao family is the best in the court. Seeing that your son is about to be crowned king, you should be more cautious."
"I know that Mr. Cheng has never found fault with that bitch again, has he?" Concubine Zhao sighed. Concubine Hui was the only one favored by the emperor, so she was holding back her anger and had not lost it.
"Then I would like to thank you, mother," Zhong Mingzheng said hurriedly. After a pause, he added coldly, "I feel that An Zishang is being indecisive. Xiao Anshi is no longer in the capital. He did not even inform us of such a big thing in advance. It is really abominable."
Concubine Zhao was also angry: "An Zishang, that old fox, used to quietly enter the palace to ask for permission to send Xiao An to the East Palace as a concubine. Now he has quietly sent Xiao An to Ningguta again. Your father-in-law Taishan is really abominable! He keeps teasing and teasing us like this. Do you think our Zhao family is easy to bully?"
"He is indeed extremely hateful, but there is nothing we can do. After all, he is doing things according to the wishes of the emperor. If we really do something to him and it gets to the emperor's ears, it will naturally be our fault, and the situation will only get worse," Zhong Mingzheng said coldly. He took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "Besides, Da An is pregnant now, and the fetus must not be disturbed. If we really do something to An Zishang, I am afraid it will be bad for Da An's pregnancy."
"Hmph, you are considerate," Concubine Zhao snorted coldly, taking a sip of tea. When she spoke again, she had regained her composure and told Zhong Mingzheng, "Take good care of Da'an's baby. Your father values her very much. No matter how good you act in front of your father, it is not as good as a big fat grandson jumping around happily."
"Yes, son, I understand." Zhong Mingzheng said.
"Is breakfast ready?" Concubine Zhao's expression eased a lot and asked Zhong Mingzheng.
"How can my son have the heart to eat breakfast? He rushed to see mother right after the morning court session," Zhong Mingzheng said with a smile, "Now I feel hungry."
