Chapter 302 Queen's Disease
Concubine Shun had something in mind, and her expectations for the eldest prince naturally became even greater: "You are the eldest son of the emperor, and you are the oldest. You must strive to be good and behave well in front of the emperor."
The eldest prince listened to Concubine Shun's words and looked at her appearance, and he felt a little depressed.
But he couldn't refute. If he did, Concubine Shun would say that she was out of favor, her mother's family had no power and couldn't help him, etc. She would keep asking him to make progress. Whenever he did not do well in his studies, Concubine Shun would put pressure on him, and he would feel suffocated. In fact, at his age and in the royal family, he might understand that this was what he should do. However, he always hoped that when he was tired outside, he could at least feel his mother's care when he came back. He would be leaving the palace in two years, but his mother didn't seem to be reluctant at all. She just wanted him to achieve success in his career.
At the age of the eldest prince, he has not yet reached the stage where he wants power very much, or it can be said that his desire for power has not yet awakened. However, he has already developed some disgust for it and even began to wonder why his mother could not care about him like an ordinary mother.
Disappointed with her mother, she lost her patience and felt a little alienated from Concubine Shun.
However, Concubine Shun did not notice this estrangement in time.
The matter of the eldest prince had an impact on the previous dynasty and the harem as well. It was okay with Concubine De. After hearing about it, she thought that the third prince was still young and it was hard to say what to do now. The Queen was the one who was really worried. It was the first day that the eldest prince entered the imperial study, and she was not in a good mood either.
"Why on earth did the Emperor suddenly change the rule that the princes can enter the Imperial Study Room after the age of fifteen?"
How could Jinzhi not feel relieved when she saw the Queen's face now? Her complexion had become worse after Concubine Xi became sick due to anger.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. After all, the Emperor's decree was not just for the eldest prince. All future princes will enter the Imperial Study at the age of ten. It seems that the Emperor is treating all the princes equally."
"But now the eldest prince has entered the Imperial Study. He has been exposed to more political affairs in the Imperial Study. In two years, he will surely be given an assignment. If he does a good job, he will be appreciated by the Emperor."
"Other princes have to grow up too. Besides, the emperor is still young. It is impossible for him to choose the eldest prince without even looking at the other princes."
The queen knew this in her heart, but she was still upset. She had long since given up hope of being favored and only had her eyes on the position of crown prince. Otherwise, why did she go through so much trouble to have a child? She thought that with the support of her family in the future, the child she raised would be much better than other princes in terms of doing things after entering the court. When the emperor wanted to choose a crown prince, he would not ignore the opinions of the ministers. She was the queen, so the child she raised would be the legitimate son. With the support of her family, she would still have a chance to compete for the position of crown prince. Even if the emperor didn't like her, it didn't matter. It would be good enough if the child she raised could become the crown prince.
But now, she felt more and more uncertain.
Jinzhi couldn't bear to see the Queen sick, and she had to worry about this. In fact, the Queen had been well-behaved these days. She saw that the Fourth Prince was slow to learn and she really thought in her heart whether this child was useless.
Now seeing the Queen like this, she could only say this: "Even if it is really someone else, after all, Your Majesty is also the legitimate mother."
As long as the empress is not deposed, she will naturally be the empress dowager when the new emperor ascends the throne. However, the new emperor is not raised by her, so it is always different. If it is not for the prosperity of the family, why must she insist on the crown prince using her title?
If a child raised by someone else really succeeds to the throne in the end, she will only have the title of the legitimate mother. Then why did she and the emperor make such a fuss about having a child?
Jinzhi was originally trying to persuade the Queen, but the Queen suddenly felt that the Fourth Prince was hopeless because of what Jinzhi said. For the sake of this premature child, she had caused Xuanyuan Ling's disgust. It seemed that everything she had done for so long was meaningless. After all her scheming, it was better to leave it to fate. So what was she doing for?
People shouldn't think like that. Once the queen felt that everything she had done before was meaningless, she fainted due to the great blow she suffered despite her illness.
Jinzhi shouted for someone to come, and Fengyi Palace was instantly in chaos.
It was just said that the queen suddenly fell ill and fainted. Such a big thing must naturally be reported to Xuanyuan Ling.
Xuanyuan Ling frowned when he heard this. The queen claimed to be ill, so he naturally knew whether it was true or not. When the news of him doing facial for Shen Qing came to him, the queen really fell ill. After all, the queen was the queen, so even if Xuanyuan Ling didn't go to see the imperial physician, he still had to ask about it.
The imperial physician asked Xuanyuan Ling and he told him that, in short, it was a heart attack caused by anger.
He knew that the queen was suffering from anger disease, but it was not serious. She could just take care of herself. But now it was even worse. Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help but think about it. The imperial physician said it was not serious. Who is the imperial physician? He can prescribe medicine for you to strengthen your body even if there is nothing wrong with your body. If he can say there is nothing wrong, then this anger disease is also a small matter. But now she has fainted. This has happened. He asked the eldest prince to enter the imperial study, but the queen has fainted?
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help but think about what the queen had done from beginning to end. Which one was not for her mother's family? Which one was not for power? Only power could make her so emotional, right?
For a person like this, what else does she have in her mind besides her mother's family and power?
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't even say that he finally saw the true face of the queen. He had always thought that the queen was not a good person. He just used to think that the queen was well-behaved and capable, and he was willing to give her face. But since the queen insisted on having Li Guiren's child that day, he became more and more alienated from the queen.
Later, because of the issue of killing the mother and keeping the son, he cut off the source of the problem and told the Queen to stop thinking about other people's children and asked her to raise the Fourth Prince. He even kept Concubine Li.
The current situation is her own fault, who can she blame?
Xuanyuan Ling thought about the fact that he had married a wife like this, and he felt so upset. He then thought of Chen Qing. When he thought of Chen Qing, he couldn't help but wonder, if he had met her earlier and married her, would things be different now?
Suppose that the person he married was Shen Qing? Then there is a big problem. Putting aside external factors such as family background, he got married at the age of fifteen. When he was fifteen, Shen Qing was only five years old.
Five years old...what can he do? Bring him back as a child bride?
He had listened to the Queen's matter with a blank expression on his face, but when he thought of this now, the corners of his mouth twitched. What was going on? He couldn't think of her. When he thought of her, he couldn't control the direction of his thoughts, and they were often a little outrageous!
