Chapter 308 The Prince's Envy
The news of the quarrel between His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan spread throughout the capital, but at first no one took it seriously.
But they saw that it had been a month and His Majesty had not even called His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan into the palace for lunch.
The rewards that were to be given to Prince Yan’s Mansion in previous years were not given?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reviewing memorials as usual, but His Majesty is actually showing favor to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?
Although Concubine Jia was not as favored as before and had to hide in the palace, His Majesty compensated her by giving her the title of Concubine Jia.
Now the imperial physician has discovered that she is one month pregnant?
Holy crap!
I can’t even eat all the melons.
If it weren't for the fact that Prime Minister Su was as steady as a rock, they would have wanted to find out more.
But then again, Prime Minister Su doesn't have to worry, because His Majesty needs him.
East Palace.
It was late in the evening and the moon was bright in the sky.
Exquisite palace lanterns had already been lit everywhere. Crown Princess Luo Muxue looked at Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince who refused to leave her courtyard, feeling a little helpless. Ever since Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince was deposed, he had not visited the other Eastern Palace concubines.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou deliberately played the victim. He held the Crown Princess's hand and said, "Crown Princess, do you know why father didn't punish Achen and me?" As he spoke, he suddenly felt how miserable he was.
Crown Princess Luo Muxue was stunned for a moment, then said: "I don't know." How could she interfere in the feud between the father and son of the royal family?
However, she saw that her father was just dealing with the situation coldly and had no intention of blaming His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
I guess His Majesty's patience will only last until the New Year, when he will definitely call my fourth brother and his wife into the palace for a palace banquet.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou looked at her dignified, beautiful, plump and elegant face, and his eyes couldn't help but flash.
Thinking of the news that came out of the Prince of Yan's Mansion a month ago, that the Prince of Yan and his wife were loudly dissatisfied with his father, he couldn't help but feel sad for himself. How could Crown Prince Rong Jinyou not think of why they did this?
If Ah Chen had not rushed into the palace in time that day, he would have been persuaded by the Minister of Personnel Luo Qingxu and the Minister of the Imperial Household Zhang Yan.
Although he could not understand all of his father's intentions, one of them was directed at him.
Achen shaved the impostor's hair in front of his father, and his father just brushed it off. As a son, Achen's reaction was normal.
And as the crown prince, is it possible for him to stay out of it?
What the emperor wanted to see was him protecting his mother, so he was willing to risk angering him in order to deal with Jiapin's actions.
Otherwise, how could my father, who has not looked for a substitute for all these years, be so fascinated by Concubine Jia after just one meeting?
Fortunately, he heard the news that Achen and his father were arguing and chased after them, otherwise his father would have suspected him of being unfilial.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou now has very complicated feelings towards Rong Jinchen. He is envious and jealous, but he can't help but want to indulge his only biological brother.
The emperor has always liked Achen more since he was a child. He has to admit that he has obtained the position of crown prince, so it is natural for the emperor to indulge Achen more.
Rong Jinyou started learning martial arts at the age of three and five, all of which were taught by Rong Yue himself. Later, Rong Jinchen was born, and Rong Jinyou, who was five years older than him, also began to learn the art of being the crown prince under the guidance of Teacher Donggong.
My father thinks that as the crown prince, he should be strong, independent and strict with himself. Otherwise, why would he hand over the Qin Dynasty to him?
But to Achen, he was simply the most indulgent and doting father in the world, and he didn't look like an emperor at all.
Because of the excessive pampering and indulgence, the ministers mistakenly believed that the emperor was interested in Prince Yan, so the Grand Secretary who wanted to gain the credit of following the emperor encouraged Achen to seize the throne.
Achen was only twelve years old at the time, and he beat him up in the Tai Chi Hall.
Later, he simply ran to the border to join the army.
At that time, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou was only seventeen years old, and Prince Jin had not yet made a name for himself.
But later, with the passing of his mother and Achen's far-away stay at the border, a lot of unclear gaps inexplicably arose between him and his father.
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou looked at the Crown Princess who was looking at him quietly, and suddenly curled his lips, "Your Majesty wants to see if I am filial to our mother, and even does not hesitate to make your Majesty angry for her. Otherwise, he would not have punished me and Achen." Even Achen was in your father's calculations.
My father's behavior that day was really obvious. When he said that he would give Concubine Jia poisoned wine on behalf of my mother, there was no displeasure in his eyes. Doesn't this explain something?
He really felt very sad. His father gave him the position of crown prince, but the crown prince could also be deposed and enthroned.
As for Achen, his father gave him a unique fatherly love. Speaking of the deep love between father and son, everyone in the Qin Dynasty knew that His Majesty and the Prince of Yan were a rare example of a deep father-son relationship in the royal family. Unlike him, his relationship was mixed with that of the emperor and the prince, and it was not pure.
But he couldn't hate Achen either. He was his blood brother, a fellow human who he had raised since childhood.
The more he thought about it, the more miserable he felt. He smiled bitterly, "I will never have a unique preference. Father likes Achen, and Fourth Brother's wife also follows Achen through thick and thin."
Even though Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen's words were just for acting, how could we say that they weren't what they really thought?
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou was extremely envious.
My fourth brother has found his soul mate who is in tune with him. His wife is indeed a unique woman in the world.
He also wants a wife who has common topics with him and who understands him.
But his Crown Princess would only tell him that she believed in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
This scared the Crown Princess Luo Muxue.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really a little abnormal tonight. He rarely showed his vulnerable side and almost openly proposed to her, forcing her into a corner.
She knew that as long as she comforted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, she could become the most special woman in his heart.
But can she trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Even though His Highness has not stayed overnight with other concubines in the Eastern Palace for more than a year.
But when their children need their father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also go and sit with them.
She knew that if she really opened her heart to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, jealousy would change her beyond recognition.
The air was so quiet that only the heartbeats and breathing of the couple could be heard. She suddenly exhaled heavily and put on a dignified smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are my husband, Xun'er's father, and the backbone of the concubines in the Eastern Palace. We all have a unique preference for you." She also reached out to comfort him.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou was slightly startled, then chuckled, "Well, I'm just asking for it." Isn't this what Achen once said?
As expected, he, like his father, would eventually end up on the path of a lonely man.
But the funny thing is that he can't see the future of that path. If his father can depose him once, why can't he depose him a second time?
If he hadn't been suddenly reminded of the past today, he wouldn't have done something like begging the Crown Princess to express her feelings. It was too embarrassing.
Princess Luo Muxue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Your Highness." She lowered her head very low, but her back remained straight.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "It's getting late, let's take a rest."
