Chapter 196 The Queen's Advice to Her Son
"Old woman? Where is she?!"
The prince took a breath as if in shock.
"Didn't you always say you were as young as 28 and as beautiful as a flower? What's wrong with you, mother? Are you really feeling unwell? Qingliu, what did the imperial physician say when he checked your mother's pulse today?"
"What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense to your mother. I'm fine! Qingliu, take the others to guard outside. I have something to discuss with the Crown Prince."
"yes."
After the queen waved her hand and sent the personal palace maid away, she turned around and looked at her good-for-nothing son, feeling a headache. But no matter how good-for-nothing he was, he was still her own son. How could she not do everything she could to save him?
"I won't scold you either, mainly because scolding you is useless. After all, you and the fourth brother are both my biological children, Qiao Yunshu, so you should be like me.
To quote Wan Jie'er, it's just that I have a love brain, there's nothing shameful about it.
My mother and I weren't as lucky as the fourth child. That idiot was lucky enough to catch Jiang Wan. So, for those of us who are so unlucky, we just have to accept our fate!
Even an old woman like me can let it go, so how could you, a young man with healthy legs and feet, not be able to climb out of this pit? It's just a matter of time. There's no need to feel like your father has died every day!
No wonder all the palace maids had to be driven out. Seeing that his mother was cursing his father as soon as she opened her mouth, Li Laosan shuddered every time he heard it.
"Mom, I've figured it out a long time ago, but I just haven't come to terms with it yet. Don't worry, I'm not upset."
The Queen patted his hands and sighed.
"Why are you pretending in front of your own mother? Everyone has climbed out of this pit. I have more experience than you.
Third brother, you have been smart since you were young, how could you not know that people’s hearts are fickle?
No matter how good the person was before, from the moment she changes, from the moment she decides she doesn't want you anymore, you have to change too.
Any emotion in the world, whether happy or sad, will eventually become a thing of the past. Unless you fall on this hurdle and lose your life, as time goes by, these messed up things will definitely pass even if you don't want them to.
Do you understand what I mean?"
The prince nodded, a look of dejection flashing in his eyes.
"I understand. Don't worry about me, Mom. Just give me some more time and I'll figure it out."
The queen touched the crown on her son's head with heartache.
"You have already gone through the ceremony of coming of age and are now a real adult. I may not be able to always be by your side to nag you, but remember what I said to you today.
You are still so young and have a long way to go in the future. You will definitely meet very good people.
Insist on what you should insist on, and give up what you should give up. Don't be greedy or obsessed, cherish those who are worth cherishing. Do you understand?
"Yes, I will teach you."
The smile in the prince's eyes carried the same sadness as his mother's.
"Thank you for your guidance, Mom. I will try my best to get over it."
"I know you can."
The queen smiled with relief and changed the subject.
"The Crown Princess is seriously ill and can't manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace. Chang Liang Di is gone. Is Zhou Liang Di now in charge?"
"No, I gave it to Guo Fengyi."
As long as it doesn't involve matters related to love, the prince has always been smart and clear-headed.
"It's not a good idea to let Zhou Liangdi manage the palace affairs. After all, she is the niece of the Min family, and it's impossible for her not to be biased towards the Crown Princess. I won't vent my anger on her, but I won't trust her either. Let her take good care of her pregnancy in her own courtyard."
"You've thought it through."
The queen nodded, but couldn't help but say something more.
"The eldest daughter of the Guo family is a steady person. Although she was used as a pawn at the beginning, she still has her own principles. Otherwise, she would not have taken the initiative to come to you and confess.
But isn't it a bit unreasonable for her to manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace with her position of Fengyi? Otherwise, we should promote her back to Liangyuan. After all, she is pregnant with the royal heir, which is considered a contribution and not something out of the ordinary.
"I understand, and I'll do it right away."
"There's another one,"
After hesitating for a moment, the mother whispered.
"Your Majesty may not be fully aware of the Crown Princess drugging you. However, I brought the Emperor's grandson to my side to raise him and imprisoned the Crown Princess. Even with my eyes closed, Your Majesty can guess that something is up.
In addition, Chang Liangdi's death was sudden, and the Chang family was in turmoil. The emperor must have been displeased with you during this period, so you just have to bear it."
"Well, Father has dealt with me."
The prince smiled bitterly.
"The few people under my command have been sorted out several times in the past few days."
"Don't panic. You haven't done anything harmful to the country or the people. If he wants to sort it out, then let him do it. Just stay calm and don't jump around. I'm here!"
"I know that Father is not the kind of person who would make unreasonable accusations. He only punishes those who should be punished, and I have no complaints."
"That's right. As for how to deal with the Crown Princess in the future, I hope you have an idea in mind, Your Highness."
After talking about the previous dynasty and the harem, the queen's eyes turned cold when she mentioned these bad things.
"If you really can't bear to do it, then I, the Queen, will have to deal with it.
Don't interrupt me, just listen to me!
I am not only the queen, but also your mother.
I absolutely cannot place a snake or scorpion next to my son's pillow. Even if you or your son will hate me in the future, I will never let Song Ziying off this time!"
Speaking of this audacious daughter-in-law who was extremely good at making trouble for herself, the queen was so angry that she almost wanted to slap her to death!
But he couldn't hit his son at the moment, so he could only slap his son's arm angrily, with a tone of disappointment in his son.
"I didn't think the Song family had a bright future from the beginning. They were betting on both you and your eldest brother. Did they think my sister and I were blind?
But you two idiot brothers have both developed feelings for Song Ziying. Especially you, a brainless thing, who has been controlled by her since you were a child, so I have no good way to stop you.
After talking about the useless past, he started to complain about the terrible present.
"Ever since you married her, I've been trying to teach her everything, but why can't she listen at all?
Either she's a tough guy to the end, or she's truly generous. And then she wants both a reputation as a virtuous woman and exclusive favor? Do you know what kind of behavior this is? How could she be the only one to take advantage of everyone?
The prince remained dejected and silent, allowing his mother to beat and scold him.
The queen really couldn't figure it out.
"Your brothers' wives both worked under me for a period of time.
As a mother-in-law, I can say with all my heart that I have never shown favoritism towards my two daughters-in-law in terms of upbringing.
But have you ever thought about why Song Ziying and Jiang Wan's behavior is so different? "
